Chapter 120 The Truth
Sun Zice felt a sore throat when he heard this, and the anger he had been holding in his body immediately leaked out, choking and sobbing.
"Brother Lin..."
It is said that men don't shed tears easily, but in fact, they just haven't reached the point of being heartbroken.
Looking at this scene, Lin Baoer's heart was also blocked, and she felt very uncomfortable.
After Sun Zice calmed down, the few people sat in the hall to discuss and solve the problem.
Lin Zhiyu looked at the stack of papers that Sun Zice had just handed him with a frown, "So these things are slanders against you
by others?" Sun Zice nodded dully, rubbing his fingertips impatiently on his sleeves, "When I heard about it, I went to find Yu Hou the first time, wanting him to testify for me. Fortunately, he is Ying Dutong's man and has no grudges against our Sun family, so he helped me write this certificate."
"But this paper certificate alone is not enough." Lin Zhiyu said in a deep voice, "What about lingering in fireworks places and causing murders?"
These are not within the scope of what Yu Hou can testify.
"It's all Sun Ziyu's fault!" Sun Zice gritted his teeth whenever he mentioned him. "Sun Chi has always doted on his only son, and he does whatever he wants. This has cultivated Sun Ziyu's habit of eating, drinking, whoring and gambling. But he also cares about his reputation and doesn't want to be talked about or blamed, so he always leaves my name when he goes there!"
"After a while, the word got out and people only knew that I was the son of the Sun family. When they mentioned the only son of the Sun family, they would think of me. Just like that, he got away with it!"
"Even if there are some people who know about it, they only know it in their hearts and don't explain it on purpose. Maybe the insult will be passed down like this."
"I said it was that bastard Sun Ziyu who did it!" Lin Ruqian was indignant, and he wanted to rush to the Sun family right now to drag Sun Ziyu out and beat him up.
If Lin Baoer knew what he was thinking, she would definitely pour a basin of cold water on him. He couldn't
beat him before, and if he went again, he didn't know who would beat whom.
"Then didn't you go to find him after returning to Beijing?" Lin Zhiyu asked.
Hearing this, Sun Zice gritted his teeth and said angrily, "Of course I did! They said that this matter had nothing to do with their side branch, and they directly closed the door and didn't let anyone let me in!"
"What a fool!" Lin Mobai sneered.
The two families of the Sun Mansion are of the same blood, and they don't even think about it. If something really happened to the Sun family, how can their side branch be spared? If you don't help now, you will dig your own grave! Accelerate your demise!
"Even if they let you in, it won't help." Lin Zhiyu shook his head, "Sun Ziyu will never admit that he did all those things. How could they do such a thing that would bring disgrace upon themselves?"
"I think they are probably hoping that something will happen to the Sun family, so that the side branch can dominate, and it would be best if they could inherit Mr. Sun's position and continue as before." "
Dream on!" Sun Zice slammed the table, his eyes widened, veins popping out.
[However, even if Sun Ziyu admitted it, it would be of no use. It was just a charge of lingering in the brothels, which would be an aggravated crime for Sun Zice, and without it, it would not affect the other charges on the Sun family. ]
[If the monarch wants his subjects to die, no matter how they defend themselves, the result is doomed. ]
Lin Zhiyu pursed his lips and sighed in his heart.
"What about the matter of usurping the people's land and privately levying the stamp duty by taking advantage of his position?" he continued to ask.
"I don't know about this either..." Sun Zice's eyes were painful, "My father and mother were in charge of everything at home, and I had no idea at all."
"But my father would never do such a thing as privately levying the stamp duty!" Sun Zice said anxiously, "He told me before that he had just realized the suffering of the people after he became the Minister of Revenue, and the stamp duty was something that disregarded the law and took people's lives lightly, and it was absolutely unacceptable! If even he touched it, then there would be no one in this world who would truly care about the people..."
"And my mother...my mother..." Sun Zi Ce's forehead was covered with sweat. "She wouldn't do that either. Although she doesn't like my usual carelessness, she has never disciplined me strictly. She only warned me not to do anything that would bring disgrace to the family or hurt myself. She would never do such a thing as privately releasing the stamp duty!"
"Zi Ce is right."
At this time, a soft voice came from outside the hall.
"Mom!" Lin Bao'er jumped off the chair and rushed over.
Shen Xuelan touched her head, and the belief in her beautiful eyes made Sun Zi Ce's eyes slightly red. "Mrs. Sun told me that such a crazy thing would never be done by their Sun family."
"Dad." Lin Zhiyu stood up and gave his seat to Lin Qiming.
"Zice, don't worry, we Lin family will take care of the Sun family's affairs, you don't have to be afraid!" Lin Qiming said in a deep voice, snorting, "I don't believe that Brother Sun would do such a thing, there must be someone behind it!"
His words moved Sun Zice deeply.
"The most critical thing right now is the tribute. Since no one from the Sun family went to Xianle Pavilion to participate in the auction, then the starting point is Xianle Pavilion."
When Lin Qiming came, they seemed to have a backbone.
He continued with a serious expression: "Although the owner of Xianle Pavilion was taken to the Dali Temple for interrogation, I learned privately that someone had already saved her and her current whereabouts are unknown."
"As long as we find her, we will know who was trading with them that day."
"Not only that, there were so many people at the auction house at that time. I heard from Ruqian that there were many people who had handled Haidongqing. So the owner shouldn't be the only one who knows about it. If we interrogate them one by one, we will always find some clues."
Lin Mobai stood up immediately, "Dad, I'll go for this!"
Lin Qiming was relieved, "It's indeed best if you go for this matter, and Qin Huyuan, you two can go together."
"Remember to do it privately and don't get discovered."
Qin Huyuan nodded next to him.
"Second brother! I'll lend you Xiaoqing!" Lin Ruqian said quickly, "Xiaoqing is really good at finding people! All the snakes in the capital are its helpers!"
Xiaoqing seemed to know that he was being talked about. He poked his head out from Lin Ruqian's sleeve and spit out his tongue.
Lin Baoer blinked when she heard it.
[Is Xiaoqing so powerful now? He can actually summon all the snakes in the capital? Could he become the snake king in the future?]
Xiaoqing couldn't explain it now.
He was just able to communicate with his own kind, but after being passed around, he became the snake king who could command all snakes. Rumors are really harmful.
"Okay." Lin Mobai agreed.
"Zhi Yu, regarding the issue of the creditor's tax, you should check the side branch Sun family." Lin Qiming narrowed his eyes, "This is definitely not groundless, and they have also presented evidence. Together with the murders, we should investigate them thoroughly."
"Don't worry, Lord Xu will assist you in this matter, and General Fu has also said that no one will stop you."
