Feng Siyuan hurried back to his mansion, but found several soldiers standing at the door of his mansion, who stopped him when they saw him coming back.
"Sir Feng, the governor invites you."
Feng Siyuan said angrily: "What urgent matter is there that can't let me go home and see my family first?"
The officer said, "Sir, you'd better see the governor first."
Feng Siyuan's heart sank.
When Feng Siyuan saw Zhao Lin, he was sitting there with Ma Ershui kneeling in front of him.
Ma Ershui turned around and glanced at Feng Siyuan, saying, "Brother..."
Feng Siyuan almost jumped up and said angrily: "Who is your big brother? Don't shout nonsense."
Ma Ershui sighed, "Brother, stop pretending. Lord Zhao knows everything. He has all our letters."
Feng Siyuan was stunned for a moment, then flew into a rage: "Idiot! I told you to clean it up, but you kept it!"
Ma Ershui sighed and said, "I found it in your house."
Feng Siyuan suddenly looked at Zhao Lin and realized: "Yesterday's fire..."
"I put it there."
Zhao Lin looked at Feng Siyuan calmly and said, "Master Feng is really good at this. There are so many silver winter melons."
Feng Siyuan's heart slowly sank, and then sank until it could no longer be seen.
Even Silver Winter Melon knew about it, so naturally everyone else knew about it too.
Feng Siyuan laughed bitterly: "I never thought that after being smart all my life, I would fall into the hands of a teenager like you."
Zhao Lin said calmly: "You are not smart enough. If you were really smart, you wouldn't do these things."
Feng Siyuan angrily said, "If I don't do these things, how can I climb up the ladder? Do you really think everyone has your good luck, that you can easily find a master to support you, and even seduce the daughter of the Minister of Rites? If I hadn't found a way to get money and gifts, and even joined the eunuch party for this purpose, I would still be a small seventh-rank county magistrate, and anyone could come and step on me."
Zhao Lin said calmly, "That's why you're not smart enough. If you were truly smart, you wouldn't do such stupid things. There are effective and legal ways to climb up the ladder."
Feng Siyuan sneered, "I won't argue with you about this. I'm in your hands now because I'm not as skilled as you. But don't be so arrogant. You've arrested all of us, even the imperial envoy. His Majesty has learned of this and sent Censor Yu Youning to investigate. Your good days won't last long."
Zhao Lin looked at Feng Siyuan with pity. "You're being called stupid, yet you refuse to admit it? If His Majesty really wanted to punish me, would an investigation be necessary? Isn't arresting the imperial envoy enough?"
Feng Siyuan was stunned.
"Feng Siyuan, I'll give you a chance."
Zhao Lin said calmly, "Write down everything you've done over the years, what crimes have you committed, who have you given gifts to, when did you give them, what did you give them, what assets do you have, and where are they hidden. I'll give you the opportunity to commit suicide. Otherwise..."
Zhao Lin said very calmly, "You don't want to be like your brother, with your entire family wiped out, right?"
"You, you want my property?" Feng Siyuan said in shock and anger.
Zhao Lin nodded: "The things in that secret room are definitely not all your property. Hand it over and I will leave you a seed."
"Hmph, I'm dead now, so why should I care whether I plant or not? Don't even think of getting any benefit from it." Feng Siyuan snorted coldly.
Zhao Lin sighed, "Forget it then. Let's skin your son first."
"You dare?" Feng Siyuan said angrily.
"Come here, take Feng Qianhao out and let those maids deal with him." Zhao Lin said.
"What are you going to do?" Feng Siyuan asked in shock and anger.
Zhao Lin said calmly, "You should understand what your son has done."
Of course Feng Siyuan understood, he understood it too well.
If it weren't for him as a father, Feng Qianhao would have died hundreds of times.
"Brother, now that things have come to this, just cooperate honestly. My whole family is dead. If your whole family is dead too, our Feng family will have no descendants." Ma Ershui advised.
Seeing Zhao Lin really using his son as a target, Feng Siyuan instantly aged a lot: "I, I say..."
When the new imperial commissioner Yu Youning arrived in a threatening manner, Zhao Lin was sitting in the lobby of the governor's office waiting.
"Zhao Lin, I'm here to investigate you on the orders of His Majesty. Why don't you come down quickly to greet him?" Yu Youning shouted.
