Chapter 101: Minister Lin, who has no friends, is still a bachelor at the age of nearly 40!

Upon hearing this, Eunuch Li immediately knelt down respectfully, his forehead touching the ground, and said, "Your Majesty, what I reported before was absolutely true and there was no concealment."

"I did know the Nanman Crown Prince Nanli at that time, and I was lucky enough to survive because of him."

"But when I left Nanman, Nanli was still the Nanman Crown Prince, and the Crown Princess was not pregnant yet."

"Moreover, Nanli and the Crown Princess had been married for several years and had not conceived. For this reason, the two of them once asked me if the Southern Dynasty had any good recipes to help women get pregnant."

"I have never learned about the relevant information, and I certainly can't give any advice. I still remember the disappointed look in the couple's eyes at that time!"

"I guess that after I left, the Crown Princess of Nanman successfully became pregnant and gave birth to Annan. Something must have happened afterwards, and Annan appeared in the Southern Dynasty, and Nanli became the former Crown Prince of Nanman."

"Please believe me, Your Majesty!"

Emperor Jin Yuan stared at Eunuch Li for a long time without saying a word.

Eunuch Li, who usually had a blank expression on his face, now had beads of sweat dripping down his forehead, and his face was rarely panicked.

He was really wronged!

Who knew where this child came from, and how could he be the son of his savior?

And from what my sister said, Brother Nanli might have already...

Eunuch Li wanted to cry but had no tears, and he also felt a hidden pain in his heart.

Alas... such a good person, I didn't expect that he would pass away so early in the end...

I don't know what kind of conspiracy is behind this...

In fact, it's no wonder that Emperor Jin Yuan was suspicious. He had just heard about the Nanman reported by Eunuch Li, and then a Nanman prince appeared. How could he not have some associations?

After a while, Emperor Jin Yuan looked away and slowly said, "I know you are loyal, but when it comes to the Nanman, I have to take it seriously."

"Now the surrounding small countries seem to be surrendered, but in fact they are lying in wait. If Xiao Fuguan hadn't discovered He Lanzhen's affairs, I might have thought that the Southern Dynasty could rest easy."

"Now that I think about it, my thoughts are ridiculous! How can we lose our guard!"

"Okay, Li Fuquan, get up!"

"I believe you!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Eunuch Li breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, Your Majesty chose to believe him, otherwise he could only prove his innocence with his death.

At this moment, at the residence of Minister Lin.

Minister Lin, who finally enjoyed his rest, didn't know that Emperor Jin Yuan had assigned him another job. At this moment, he was playing chess with his father at home.

Sitting next to him was a woman in her sixties, who was Minister Lin's mother.

The three of them were playing chess and chatting in the pavilion.

"Zhi'er, you are already grown up, it's time to change your temper. Look at how many girls your mother has introduced to you over the years, and you always make them angry and leave as soon as you meet them."

"Now no girl is willing to marry in our family. Your father and I are already old, one foot has stepped into the coffin, and we haven't held our grandson yet. I don't know how to explain to your grandpa when we go to the underworld!"

Minister Lin's mother advised Minister Lin earnestly.

Minister Lin would hear such words several times a day, and he had already developed the ability to "let it go in one ear and out the other". At this moment, he also agreed verbally, but his mind was still on the chessboard.

"Okay, okay! Don't worry, mother! Your son will change his temper! I will find you a daughter-in-law soon! So that you two old people can have a big fat grandson sooner!"

Yes, that's right, Minister Lin, who has no friends, is still a bachelor at the age of nearly 40!

The reason is, just as his mother said, every time he goes on a blind date, as long as Minister Lin opens his mouth, the girl will definitely be angry and run away.

For example, “Girl, when you wear this green dress, you really look like a tenacious weed, with its base firmly rooted in the ground. No matter how windy or rainy it is, it won’t move!”

These words made the girl cry. She ran out of the door crying, shouting, “Wuwu! You’re going too far! You’re calling me fat in a roundabout way, and it’s not worth it, right? Wuwu!”

Minister Lin: Actually, I really wanted to say that the girl is “tenacious”, although she is indeed a little fat…

Another example, “Girl, the hairpin on your head is exactly the same as the one my mother wore today. It’s really a fate!”

The girl’s face turned black when she heard this, and she left angrily after saying, “You think I’m dressed old-fashioned, right? Then go find someone younger. I won’t keep you company anymore”.

Minister Lin: This... is really just to express that the hairpins are the same style, although it makes you look a little old...

So, Minister Lin's straightforwardness not only prevents him from making friends, but also cuts off his chance of romance...

The poor old couple look forward to a big fat grandson every day, and even dream of themselves holding their fat grandson, smiling from ear to ear.

But when they woke up and found it was a dream, they wanted to pick up a stick and beat up Minister Lin, the unfilial son!

Just when Minister Lin was perfunctorily dealing with his old mother, the housekeeper of the mansion came in a hurry, shouting, "Master, someone is coming from the palace!"

Minister Lin's heart skipped a beat when he heard this, and he immediately had a bad premonition.

Why does it feel like my day off is "in jeopardy" again...

Then, Minister Lin saw a man in black with a mask following the housekeeper.

It was An Si.

Minister Lin saw this and thought, my goodness, the secret guards have all been dispatched, this must be a big deal!

Alas, I finally got a day off, and now I'm taking a bath again!

Minister Lin stood up with a "righteous" look, and said to the secret guard who was walking in front of him, "Sir Secret Guard, what does His Majesty want me to do?"

The old couple next to him also stood up, stood behind Minister Lin, and saluted respectfully to the secret guards.

An Si nodded to the old couple in response.

Then, An Si turned his gaze to Minister Lin and said, "Minister Lin, His Majesty has an urgent task that needs your attention. Please go to the Dali Temple with me." Minister

Lin nodded resignedly. He didn't know whether His Majesty would award him a "Model Worker Award" at the end of the year!

"Dad, Mom, I have official business to attend to, so I will go ahead. You two should eat and drink well at home! I will be back soon!"

Minister Lin's parents waved their hands at him with some disdain, "Go quickly, don't embarrass yourself...

It's as if all we old people know how to do is eat and drink all day long..."

Minister Lin patted his buttocks and followed An Si into the Dali Temple, to the place where special prisoners were held.

This place belongs to the secret prison in the Dali Temple. Just like He Lanzhen before, she was held in the secret prison next to it.

At this moment, there are only two people in this cell, one is An Wu, and the other is An Nan.

On the way here, An Si had briefly told Minister Lin about the situation.

Minister Lin couldn't help but sigh in his heart, as expected, where the little official is, there is never a shortage of melons!

Even if the Qin family went out to donate some clothes, they could still let Xiao Fuguan eat such a big melon!

Minister Lin confidently assured An Si and An Wu: "Two Anwei masters, please rest assured, I will start the trial now, and I will definitely be able to get something useful out of this kid's mouth!"

"Minister Lin, please go ahead!"

An Si looked at Minister Lin's confident look and reminded Emperor Jin Yuan of the request.

"In addition, His Majesty has instructed not to use torture, Minister Lin, please know."

Minister Lin, who was about to get the torture instruments...

hadn't said it earlier, he originally wanted to use the 800 kinds of torture instruments from the Dali Temple, so he wasn't afraid that this kid wouldn't open his mouth.

As a result, you told me that I couldn't use torture instruments, so all my pretense just now was in vain...

Forget it, I can only see if I can motivate this kid with words...

Minister Lin walked into the prison with a seemingly confident step...
