Chapter 88

After Lin Nanjie left, all the officials in the corridor began to whisper to each other.

While eating the breakfast carefully prepared by the kitchen, they had a lively discussion.

"If Lin Nanjie really comes, what should we do next?"

"If he enters the Censorate, relying on the fact that the court owes the Lin family, he will impeach them at random. Will we have a good life in the future?" A minor official said with a worried look on his face. "Master Liu, what do you think?"

Liu Weiming, the Vice Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, was drinking the chicken soup from the kitchen. He had been drinking it for two hours, but it tasted bland to him.

"What you said is exactly what I was worried about." Liu Weiming put down the soup bowl.

"Although Lin Rujian's family was wrongly convicted, they died for the country and the late emperor. If the emperor wants his subjects to die, they have to die. If this is the case, then since the founding of the Great Qi Dynasty, all the descendants of those wrongly convicted can come to us to demand official positions?"

"Master Liu is right," said Lu Xiu, the lieutenant general of Wucheng. "Besides, he used to be a eunuch. Has he forgotten that during the reign of the previous emperor, eunuchs were in power and Huo Chaos was in power? Now he has directly sneaked into the court! In the future, he can accuse anyone he wants, right?"

"Sir Wang, the man is in your Censorate. As the Minister of Justice, are you just going to watch him mess up the government?"

Wang Wenhe sat cross-legged behind the table, drinking his soup leisurely. When he heard someone calling him, he raised his eyelids, his face unchanged: "Since it is the emperor's order, I can only do it according to the order. Moreover, judging from Lin Nanjie's performance in the court today, he clearly distinguished right from wrong, punished evil and praised good, so I don't think there is anything wrong with it."

Bai Zhang smiled narrowly: "Master Liu, you can't hold a grudge against Lin Nan just because he impeached one of your subordinates, right?"

Liu Weiming laughed and said, "Master Bai, what are you talking about? I am not such a petty person."

When Wang Wenhe said this, Liu Weiming and Lu Xiu looked at each other quickly. This meant that Lin Nanjie was allowed to be in the Censorate.

The two had to give up for the time being.

-

Lin Nanjie arrived at the Zichen Hall and had breakfast with Li Chengzhen. Li Chengzhen ordered someone to bring up the lychee yogurt.

Lin Nanli's eyes lit up when he saw the light pink lychee ice cream. The weather was hot and people wanted to eat something cool. Lin Nanli took a spoon and took a bite, and his face lit up immediately: "Delicious!"

Li Chenghuan saw Lin Nanjie eating with great concentration and couldn't help but say, "This is cold, eat slowly."

Lin Nanjie ate the ice cream and it was refreshing and delicious. He didn't get angry with him for the time being because His Majesty cared about him. But it was a great opportunity to punish the dog emperor, wouldn't it be a pity to let it go?

Li Chengqian mentioned Hua Heng's return to the capital again: "Uncle has worked hard and made great contributions. I am going to reward him with a large mansion. I think there is a piece of Feng Shui treasure land in Xicheng that is very good."

The most important thing is that it is some distance away from the house in Anhuamen, which makes it convenient for him to go to find Lin Nanjie at night.

Lin Nanqi's eyes rolled and he immediately agreed: "Then I will live with my uncle."

Li Chenghuan suddenly became nervous: "My uncle's house is a little far from the palace. I'm afraid it will be inconvenient for you to go to court."

Lin Nanjie blinked and said, "It doesn't matter. It's more important to accompany uncle."

Li Chengqian pretended to be angry: "What about me? Aren't you going to accompany me?"

Lin Nanqi lowered his eyelashes: [But I have been an orphan since I was a child. I finally have an uncle, but he is also a lonely man. Don’t you allow us to depend on each other? ]

"oh."

Li Chengzhen panicked: "Okay, okay, let's live together. Can I find someone closer?"

Lin Nanqi's eyes lit up, and he kissed Li Chengqian on the cheek without hesitation: "Thank you, Your Majesty."

The icy cool touch fell on his cheek, and Li Chengqian felt relieved.

Lin Nanjie stopped the spoon that was about to reach his mouth, rolled his eyes, and looked up at Li Chenghuan: "Do you want to try it?"

Li Chengqian didn't like to eat these things. He took a bite with Lin Nanqi's spoon with great difficulty, and his heart began to stir again.

"Actually, I..."

Lin Nanqi suddenly said, "I can't stay too long. I have to go back to the Censorate. If Lord Wang doesn't see me for too long, I'm afraid he will be disappointed with me."

Li Chengqian was not discouraged: "I'll come to see you that night."

Lin Nanqi puffed up his cheeks and said, "I just came back. I plan to go to Sinan Haolu Chengfeng and the others tonight to reminisce about the past."

Li Chenghuan took a deep breath. He, the emperor, acted like a third party.

He was honest with each other, but he acted like a thief after returning to the capital.

No, I will only feel at ease if the Phoenix Seal is put into Lin Nanjie's hands as soon as possible.

Lin Nanjie finished the meal in two bites, wiped his mouth and slid away.

It's impossible to confess so quickly!

Li Chengqian looked at Lin Nanjie's back as he greased his feet and the bowl of ice cream he had just finished eating, and murmured, "Eat so fast, be careful of getting diarrhea."

Lin Nanjie did not give Li Chenghuan a chance to catch him. He slipped out of the gate of Zichen Hall, went out of Wumen and turned right. Not long after, he arrived at the territory of Sanfasi.

The Three Judicial Departments were the judicial system of Daqi, which consisted of the Ministry of Justice, the Dali Temple, and the Censorate.

The Dali Temple was responsible for trial, the Ministry of Justice reviewed, and the Censorate supervised the officials and supervised the trial of cases by the Ministry of Justice and the Dali Temple. In addition, when encountering major cases, the three courts would hold a joint trial, and the participation of the Censorate was inevitable.

Lin Nanjie arrived at the Censorate on his first day in office. He had been prepared to be rejected, but he was surprised that most of his colleagues were so easy to get along with. Except for Tao Chongde, some of them even took the initiative to teach him how to handle many daily affairs of the Censorate.

This made Lin Nanjie feel flattered.

Zuo Du Yushi Yuan Liu glanced at Lin Nanjie and said, "Right now there is a case that is neither big nor small, which is perfect for you to practice your skills."

Lin Nanqi immediately became concerned: "Please speak, sir."

Yuan Liu took out a scroll and said, "Last month, the daughter of Minister Lu married the son of Marquis Yan Qing. Unexpectedly, when the wedding banquet was going well, Marquis Yan Qing's son ran away. Minister Lu secretly hired someone to beat up Marquis Yan Qing's son and broke his leg. Marquis Yan Qing was so angry that he reported Minister Lu to the Dali Temple. After Minister Lu learned about this, he was also furious and reported Marquis Yan Qing to the Dali Temple as well."

Lin Nanjie was dumbfounded.

Bai Zhang overheard this and slowly stepped forward: "Master Yuan, is it better to send someone else to handle such a complicated case?"

This case may not seem serious, but it is bound to offend people.

Yuan Liu threw such a hot potato to Lin Nanjie right from the start, and it was obvious that he intended to make things difficult for her.

Yuan Liu was just about to argue, but Lin Nanjie said directly, "I'm willing to take it!"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone fell silent.

That's a case that has been pending for half a month and no one wants to touch it!

Last month, the Dali Temple threw the blame on him, and no one in the entire Censorate wanted to take over. After all, one was an important official of the court, and the other was a marquis. If they angered each other, no one would suffer a good outcome.

Now Lin Nanjie actually accepted it readily?

Even Yuan Liu couldn't help but ask: "Why don't you think about it again?"

Lin Nan shook his head: "Don't think about it, I'll take it."

When Lin Nanjie took the file, Bai Zhang couldn't help but walk over and said, "You are too rash to accept it. These two people, one is the Minister of Finance, and the other is Marquis Yan Qing. Neither of them is easy to mess with."

Lin Nanqi smiled and said, "I won't provoke them."

Bai Zhang couldn't help but ask, "Do you have a solution?"

Lin Nanjie accepted the file and said, "It can be resolved before the court tomorrow."

【Lu Shangshu certainly didn't expect that it was his daughter Lu Yunlang who let the prince of the Marquisate run away that night. However, this was also a coincidence. When the prince of the Marquisate, Xie Qianci, was young and weak, he lived in Yongming Temple for a period of time. At that time, he met a little girl who accompanied her mother to Yongming Temple to pray for blessings. They were in their teens and fell in love with each other. They exchanged tokens and agreed to meet again in the future. However, neither of them revealed their identities. When they reached the age of marriage, they were forced to get married by their families.】

[They met for the first time on their wedding night, and they showed that they had no interest in each other. The daughter of the Lu family was a straightforward girl, she opened the rear window and told Xie Qianci to run as far as he could. Xie Qianci also agreed that he would bear all the consequences, and ran to Yongming Temple.]

【Then he was beaten.】

Bai Zhang was surprised, but seeing that Lin Nanjie was so confident, he could only say, "Then I will wait for your good news."

Lord Wang even personally called him over to inspect the matter, which made Lin Nanjie feel flattered. When Wang Wenhe heard that he had taken over the affairs of both Minister Lu and Marquis Yan Qing, he couldn't help but ask, "Are you sure about this?"

Even he was unwilling to intervene and even wanted to make a report in the court.

This is clearly a family affair between the two families, but why do they have to involve the three divisions in it? Do they think they are not busy enough with their daily affairs?

"If you are not sure, I will report these two people when I go to court tomorrow. It is not right to bring up a family matter such as marriage to the Three Departments. I will report them one by one and the matter will be settled."

Lin Nanjie couldn't help but be moved.

Wang Wenhe usually looks serious and unkind, but he is still very protective of his son.

Lin Nan said, "Every family has its own problems. The Minister and the Marquis are also concerned about the reputation of their children. After all, the groom running away from the wedding is a big deal for the daughter's family, and the Minister was too harsh. Although this matter seems to be a big deal, it may actually just be caused by a small misunderstanding."

Wang Wenhe couldn't help but side-glance after hearing this: "Don't tell me you know the inside story."

Lin Nanjie scratched the back of his head and laughed, "I can't say I know the inside story, but I have heard something. Your Excellency may as well let me give it a try."

Wang Wenhe stroked his beard and said, "Okay then."

"If that doesn't work, I will write a letter to accuse them of not managing their family properly!"

When it was time to get off work, Lin Nanjie went to meet up with Si Nanhao and Lu Chengfeng. The three of them made an appointment to have dinner at a restaurant, and Lin Nanjie told them about the incident.

Lu Chengfeng laughed and said, "I know this very well. Xie Qianci was obsessed with a little girl from his childhood and wanted to marry her. He was forced to marry her by the Marquis and he climbed over the wall and ran away that day."

"If you ask me, this kid deserves to be beaten, but Minister Lu was too cruel. His leg was broken. Fortunately, he didn't limp. No wonder the Marquis was angry."

Si Nanhao also said, "My sister came back from Lu's house the other day and was so angry that she said all men were bad. She even ignored me. It turned out that she was angry about her sister's affairs."

Lin Nan lowered his voice and said to the two people: "There is something I need your help with."

Lu Chengfeng and Si Nanhao came closer: "Tell me about it."

The three of them chatted for a while, ordered some food, and dispersed in the evening.

The next day, when the morning court session was about to begin, Yuan Liu saw Lu Jingyao's carriage stop outside the Meridian Gate. He subconsciously turned around and walked inside the Meridian Gate. Because of the wedding banquet case, he didn't want to run into Minister Lu recently.

Who knew that he would be stopped after taking only two steps.

"Master Yuan!"

Yuan Liu's feet trembled and became numb.
