Chapter 47 The fall of the Prime Minister's Mansion
"It's okay, just a minor injury." Lin Qiming hugged her comfortingly, his eyes unable to hide his joy, "Thanks to Madam for asking Mobai to notify Ying Rushi first, otherwise I'm afraid we wouldn't be able to come back now."
"Where's Bao'er?" He looked around but didn't see the familiar little person.
Shen Xuelan glared at him, and then she felt relieved after hearing that, "Do you think Bao'er is you guys? She has gone to bed a long time ago."
"This is the first time that Madam has scolded me for being a jerk." Lin Qiming was surprised and smacked his lips.
Lin Zhiyu and Lin Mobai beside him couldn't help but coughed lightly.
Why is their father still so out of tune! When the wind blows down, when the wind blows down!
Flirting in front of her two sons, Shen Xuelan glared at Lin Qiming with some embarrassment, "Let's talk business, what's going on?"
"What else can I do, of course..." Lin Qiming curled his lips, "eradicate it completely!"
After getting the evidence, Lin Qiming sent the evidence to the palace early the next morning, shocking the court and the emperor.
Prime Minister Shen Qiantang bought and sold official positions, accepted bribes, withheld disaster relief funds, and spent money wantonly. The evidence was conclusive, and he was immediately thrown into prison and beheaded on the day of execution!
And some officials from the Ministry of Revenue and the Ministry of Personnel who were in cahoots with him were also found out, their property was confiscated, their official positions were removed, they were demoted to commoners, and their families were exiled!
For a while, the court was in turmoil, and the entire court was almost purged because of Shen Qiantang!
And all the people in the Shen family, those with serious circumstances, were beheaded or exiled, and no one was spared.
But in the early stage of the execution, Shen Ruyu escaped because of her engagement with the third prince. That night, she was brought to the third prince's mansion as a concubine.
So far, the Prime Minister's Mansion has been destroyed and will never be a force to be reckoned with again.
Three days later, news came from the third prince's mansion that Shen Ruyu had hanged herself, which caused people to sigh.
[I didn't expect that Shen Ruyu was so courageous that he actually died to show his determination! But it's better to die, so as not to harm my eldest brother again! ]
Lin Baoer smacked her lips, thinking of the previous ending, and was a little surprised after knowing it belatedly.
[If that's the case, does Shen Ruyu's death prove that big brother will be able to marry Miss Chu in the future? And he won't have to die with her anymore?]
Then didn't she change big brother's ending? !
Lin Baoer was very happy.
At the dinner table, Lin Zhiyu coughed lightly and his face flushed slightly.
Lin Mobai glanced at him teasingly, leaned close and nudged him with his elbow and whispered, "It seems that big brother will be able to marry Miss Chu as he wishes, and I will soon have a sister-in-law."
"Don't talk nonsense!" Lin Zhiyu blushed and stuffed a chopstick of food into his mouth, "Just eat yours."
Lin Mobai raised his eyebrows, looked at Lin Ruqian, and shrugged.
But not only him, even Lin Qiming deliberately teased him, "Zhi Yu, Dad sees that you are already quite old, do you have someone you like? The kid from the Qian family already had a son when you were your age!"
[Wow~ I almost forgot, it seems that people here get married and have children very early, so doesn't that mean... I will soon be able to welcome my first sister-in-law? ]
Lin Baoer was looking forward to it.
"Dad!" Lin Zhiyu's ears turned red, and he left in a hurry after putting down the bowl.
Can't he just hide from him if he can't afford to offend him? !
[Tsk tsk tsk, I didn't expect that big brother is so thin-skinned! What should I do in the future~]
Everyone laughed when they heard this, and their faces were all smiling.
Lin Baoer was puzzled, Lin Baoer was puzzled, and Lin Baoer was in deep thought.
What are they laughing at? Are they laughing at big brother?
"By the way, third brother, I heard that your dessert shop is doing well. Please save some for me someday. I want to bring some to Big Brother Sun." Lin Mobai smiled and said, "Big Brother Sun was punished by Lord Sun again recently. No one dares to visit him. As his younger brother, I have to go and take a look."
"It's a small problem. Leave it to me!" Lin Ruqian patted his chest proudly.
"But speaking of this... guess who was behind the sweet pastry shop that I found out at that time?" Lin Ruqian narrowed his eyes mysteriously.
Shen Xuelan just smiled and watched the two brothers fighting without saying a word.
"The Hu family?" Lin Mobai thought.
Lin Ruqian's eyes widened: "Second brother, how do you know?!"
Lin Mobai sneered and shook his head, "It's just those few people who are against us, either the Hu family or the Wen family, the others don't have the courage."
"That's not necessarily true..." Lin Ruqian muttered silently.
Isn't there still that so-called Third Prince!
"After I won the sweet and pastry shop, I forced them to close the shop and promised that they would never do this business again." Lin Ruqian was proud, "At that time, they refused to do it. It was not until I produced the official documents that they closed the shop reluctantly."
"Later, I found out that the boss behind it was Hu Tiansun. He opened an identical shop opposite my shop just to spite me."
"I heard that he was almost pissed off to death at that time, hahaha..."
[I didn't expect that the third brother knew the rules of business competition at such a young age... It's totally a case
of learning from one example and applying it to other situations!] [What a pity, if I knew that the man behind the sweet and pastry shop was that bastard Hu Tiansun, I would not let him go so easily!]
It's better to suppress him so that he can never get ahead again!
In the original plot, although those disciples from aristocratic families did not pose much of a threat to the Lin Mansion, they would be used by the Third Prince in the later period, and then they would make trouble for the Lin Mansion from time to time, which was extremely annoying!
Especially Hu Tianxun, after he got the position of Yinhu official, he became more and more rampant, almost openly opposing Lin Zhiyu in the officialdom! Like a shit-trigger!
He was stupid and was led by the Third Prince by the nose. Even if he sold his life for others, he was still kicked in the end.
"You, the Hu family is not an existence that you can easily mess with, be careful." Shen Xuelan helplessly pinched a piece of meat for him, "A big tree attracts the wind, don't have physical conflicts with others, and ask your second brother to deal with anything."
"I know, mother." Lin Ruqian said obediently.
"What are you afraid of!" Lin Qiming snorted coldly, "Does my Lin family fear the Hu family?"
"Stop being poor here!" Shen Xuelan glared at him, "My son is still young, there are some things that are hard to guard against."
After being scolded, Lin Qiming curled his lips and agreed, "Okay, okay."
In fact, he secretly cast a look at his two sons, which made the two brothers laugh.
"But there is only one thing. Now that the weather is getting hotter, the price of ice has also increased. The cost has increased. If we sell it for ten cents, we will start to lose money." Lin Ruqian sighed, "But if the price goes up, those people will not be willing to buy it. It's really annoying."
[That's not easy. I remember that the Sun family has an ice cellar. Let him help. ]
"Yes!" Lin Ruqian's eyes lit up.
"Second brother, when you go to visit Brother Sun, why don't you help me talk about this matter." Lin Ruqian walked over and whispered with a pleading look.
Lin Mobai had no choice but to agree.
