Chapter 18 The End of the Gao Family
After drinking that cup of tea, Lin Zhiyu clearly felt that his injuries recovered very quickly. In just seven or eight days, he was almost healed.
But in order not to be suspected, he stayed in bed for two more days.
In the blink of an eye, the half-month deadline mentioned by Lin Baoer was coming. After returning to the Ministry of Personnel, Lin Zhiyu always kept an eye on the Ministry of Personnel and the Prime Minister's Mansion intentionally or unintentionally, and even did not go home for several days. This diligent appearance made other people in the Ministry of Personnel feel in danger, fearing that Lin Zhiyu would take advantage of the opportunity to steal their jobs.
This caused the entire Ministry of Personnel to be conscientious and diligent during this period, and the Minister of Personnel could not find any loopholes.
That day, at noon, a haggard-looking man rushed in from outside the Lin residence. He rushed in so fast that the servants at the door were stunned.
"Is this... the eldest master?"
The two servants looked at each other in shock.
In Shangchun Garden, Shen Xuelan was playing with Lin Baoer in the rocking chair with a rattle, her eyebrows and eyes were gentle.
"Qinglian, hasn't Zhiyu come back yet?" She sighed softly, her brows and eyes full of worry, "It's been a few days, he really thought..."
"Mom--"
A burst of shouting interrupted Shen Xuelan's words. She looked up and found that it was the boy who had not returned home for several days. She was immediately furious and pretended to be angry: "You still remember to come back?"
"Mom, where is Dad?" Lin Zhiyu looked left and right but didn't see Lin Qiming's figure. He couldn't help but said anxiously, without listening to Shen Xuelan's words at all.
Lin Baoer, who was sitting in the rocking chair, took the time to look at him and immediately clicked her tongue.
Who is that haggard-looking man with two dark circles under his eyes and a messy beard?
[Why has my brother become so shabby? 】
Lin Baoer couldn't bear to watch.
Hearing Lin Baoer's inner voice, Lin Zhiyu's face froze. He clenched his fist and coughed lightly, and at least brushed off the dust on his official robe, "Mom, I have something important to say to Dad, where is he?"
"What is it?" A voice sounded from outside the garden.
Lin Qiming, who had just come down to have sex with Shanshan and was late, looked at his eldest son with disdain, then picked up Lin Baoer with a smile on his face and rubbed her twice, "Baoer~ Do you miss daddy?"
The silly smile of this new father made Lin Baoer couldn't help laughing, and she giggled.
【Dad is still the most handsome! 】
"Hehe, I knew Bao'er missed daddy!" Lin Qiming was so excited that he threw Lin Bao'er into the air and flew her twice. Finally, after being glared at by Shen Xuelan, he let her go with a smirk.
"Dad, I saw the Prime Minister and Mr. Gao meeting last night."
Several pairs of eyes looked at Lin Zhiyu at the same time.
Lin Bao'er was a little excited: [Did you catch the evidence of that old bitch's crime? The law is long and wide! I knew that my elder brother would live up to everyone's expectations!
Lin Zhiyu nodded secretly, "They met secretly at that time, and it seemed that they handed over some account book. Before leaving, Lord Gao handed the account book to a confidant, and I knocked that person out and switched the account book." "
Because of this incident, the Ministry of Personnel was in chaos for the whole morning, and I took the opportunity to run away. I believe the prime minister will find out soon."
After saying that, he handed the account book to Lin Qiming. Lin Qiming flipped through two pages with a calm face, then sneered, "I was wondering why he was so fearless. It turns out that the officials of the Ministry of Personnel protected each other. No wonder he can cover the sky with one hand." "
But..." He turned to the last page, rubbed the seal with his fingertips, and said in a deep voice: "There is only the official seal of the Ministry of Personnel on it. I'm afraid there is no conclusive evidence to prove that he was also involved."
"Unless..."
"Unless Lord Gao gives him up." Lin Zhiyu took over his words and slowly frowned.
But this is undoubtedly impossible.
He actually overlooked this matter.
[One radish and one grass, just pull them out slowly, there will always be a day when you pull him out. ]
Lin Baoer muttered indifferently in her heart, stretched out her little fist and waved it in the air twice, very cute and adorable.
The words are rough but the truth is there.
Lin Qiming hid the smile in his eyes and returned the account book to Lin Zhiyu, "Give it to the Dali Temple, they should know what to do."
Lin Zhiyu nodded.
On the other side of the Dali Temple, after waking up from a nap, the Dali Temple Chief inexplicably found that a book suddenly appeared on his desk. When he opened it, he was immediately shocked.
This was naturally the work of Lin Mobai.
On the same day, the Dali Temple reported to the emperor and produced evidence that the Gao family had assassinated the prince. In the end, the emperor was furious and ordered the dismissal and confiscation of his property. Gao Xin was beheaded and the men of the Gao family were exiled and the women were sent to music houses. Once the Gao family came to an end, the staff and officials who had been on good terms with him all avoided suspicion, and the Prime Minister's Office also took the opportunity to distance themselves from the matter and took the initiative to cut off this arm of the Ministry of Personnel.
After Gao Xin resigned, the position of Minister of Personnel was vacant, and Sun Jia, the Minister of Personnel, was promoted to the position of Minister of Personnel. As a result, Lin Zhiyu was transferred to the Ministry of Examination to be responsible for the assessment of civil and military officials, which almost stopped the prime minister from buying and selling official positions.
"So the Gao family was used as a scapegoat by him?" Lin Mobai's brows were wrinkled so much that they could kill a fly.
"It's a pity that so much money was confiscated!" Lin Zhiqian felt sorry for the Gao family's property, and secretly criticized the old emperor for being calculating.
At the dinner table, Lin Zhiyu sighed, "There's no way. He is very cautious in his actions, and it's almost impossible to find any evidence against him. Even the account book I found that day was nothing more than a series of plots he made against Mr. Gao." "If
things work, he can get a share of the profits. If things fail, he can immediately withdraw and leave."
"It's not a good plan."
Even Lin Qiming sighed. If the prime minister put these thoughts on benefiting the people, he must be a famous minister.
[Who told him not to be satisfied with this? Lin Baoer recalled the plot in the book
and curled her lips. In the book, the prime minister tried to hold power in his hands several times. Even after the third prince came to power, his greed did not stop. The ending was obvious.
"But now that my eldest brother has been transferred to the Ministry of Examination, will this kind of thing stop happening in the future?" Lin Ruqian thought about it in his mind and asked curiously.
After all, that is the position responsible for the assessment of all civil and military officials. He drooled just thinking about the benefits.
But after thinking for a while, he swallowed the idea and looked at his elder brother and father with a guilty conscience, fearing that they would beat him up.
"It is estimated that it cannot be completely eliminated, but it can be avoided as much as possible." Lin Mobai said seriously, "Just like in the military camp, there are still human feelings outside the law. You need to consider everything carefully to win the hearts of the soldiers."
"Mobai is right." Lin Qiming knocked on Lin Ruqian's head with a smile, "I told you to read more books, but you didn't, and you just messed up your shop!"
