Yan Shiyue felt that her brain was not enough.
Although she often wins by surprise or luck, when it comes to playing tricks, it seems that she is no match for these people!
Yan Shiyue said, "Anyway, I'm going to check it that way. If you need it, or don't mind it this way...then I'll check it."
Emperor Ming Yan smiled and coaxed her: "Yue'er is beginning to speak like a prime minister."
Haha, my dear dad is becoming less and less attentive when coaxing people now...
As soon as Yan Shiyue returned, Lin Fujian came to the door.
Lin Fujian was not a gloomy person. On the contrary, he had a very upright look, with thick black eyebrows, a straight nose, and a neatly trimmed beard. However, his eyes were sharp, making him seem very difficult to mess with.
After bowing and sitting down, Lin Fujian said straight to the point: "I have never done this."
Yan Shiyue nodded and motioned for him to continue.
Lin Fujian said, "I have read the biography of Empress Fu. If those things are true, the Prime Minister should be able to understand my feelings."
...
...
According to him, when his parents passed away, he had already studied in a private school for three years.
Then he lived with his second uncle and second aunt. The family situation was not bad, but life was not easy as they were dependent on others.
He held his eldest cousin in high esteem every day, and tried his best to please him, only then was he able to sneak a peek at his cousin's books.
Brother Dang failed in the exams many times. Three years after his father's death, he wanted to take the imperial examination, but his family refused to agree. He later had to ask his former private school teacher to plead with the clan elders, saying that if he did not pass the exam this time, he would never take it again.
But he never expected that on the day he went to take the exam, his cousin put a laxative in his steamed bun.
He misbehaved in the examination room and brought disgrace upon himself.
Naturally, he was unwilling to give up, and after two years, he met a woman, who is his current wife, Wen.
Wen's family had some wealth, and his father-in-law was a cheerful man who had high hopes for him. After the two families arranged the marriage, they sent him to take the imperial examination.
At first, he did not rank high or low in the exams, not because he was hiding his incompetence, but because he really did not have the ability. He only attended a private school for three years, and after that, there was no one to guide his studies. He had to cram at the last minute and tried his best every time.
Until he passed the imperial examination and became a Jinshi.
Then he returned to his hometown and married his wife. His father-in-law's family paid for a house for him. At this time, his uncle and aunt naturally changed their attitude towards him, but he no longer needed it.
After that, he climbed up step by step, and his second uncle and aunt came to him for help.
Because he was trying to please them every day, his relationship with them was not bad on the surface. He had also just entered the officialdom at that time and did not dare to damage his reputation, so he had to accept it with a pinch of his nose.
They lay on him and sucked his blood for several years.
After that, he was promoted to higher and higher positions, served in the imperial court, and became more and more confident. He made things clear with them. His uncle and aunt no longer dared to offend him and returned home.
Later, my two elders passed away, and then my eldest cousin also died.
The two sons of his eldest cousin came here. After he entered the cabinet, they came to him with their families and asked him to arrange an official position for them. He hated them so much that how could he arrange an official position for them? Naturally, he left them alone.
Lin Fujian said coldly, "If it was just a beating and cold treatment, I might not hold such a grudge, but you put drugs in my food and caused me to lose my manners in the examination hall. I will never forget this for the rest of my life."
He paused, "According to your guess, that family must have always been proud of their relationship with me. They didn't even dare to tell their own sons, and at most told them not to come to see me. Now that they are dead, those two idiots don't know anything. They only know that my grandparents raised me, so they came to see me with confidence."
Lin Fujian sneered: "If Your Highness were to encounter such a situation, would you admit your mistake?"
He glanced at her and said, "I won't admit it anyway. I was already furious. They were far away and I was too lazy to deal with them. But since they came to my door, I had to treat them well. So I gave them some money and asked someone to lure them to gamble and hang out. They made a mess every day..."
"Then one day, their entire family, young and old, were poisoned to death, and all their wealth was lost... To be honest, I felt a little unsatisfied at the time, but since they were dead, I didn't take it too seriously and buried them. But I have no interest in tracking down the real culprit for them."
He spoke very calmly, and Yan Shiyue believed it 80%.
Especially the fact that he did not abandon his wife made him more likable.
Yan Shiyue asked: "Who do you think it could be?"
Lin Fujian sneered, "That family relied on my power to bully people in the countryside and made these two people arrogant and domineering. They don't know how high the sky is or how deep the earth is. How can such people get away with anything in the capital? They must have exposed their money in the casino or other places, which led to their death... I am also very curious about who brought the lawsuit and what evidence they fabricated."
He stood up and bowed: "I am waiting for you, my Lord. Please clear my name."
Yan Shiyue nodded.
Lin Fujian added: "As for that Qu Shao, it is better for you not to trust him easily, my Lord."
Yan Shiyue said: "Listen to both sides and you will be enlightened, but only believe in one side and you will be in the dark. I will listen to everyone, but I will not believe in anyone easily."
"Okay," Lin Fujian said, "I'll take my leave."
Yan Shiyue closed his eyes and stroked it again.
The whole thing he described was relatively smooth.
Anyway, she put herself in Lin Fujian's shoes. If this was really the case, there was no need for him to kill anyone. Instead, it would be more credible to set up a trap to deal with them, as he said. This was a common tactic used by politicians.
Now we just have to wait for those people to be released so that we can conduct a detailed examination.
In fact, whether it is the criminal in this case or the witness in the case of Prince Yu killing his brother, we need to wait.
Now we can see that these people really made the plan in a hurry, and what they had prepared before was obviously not for this case.
The next day, Prince Yu sent her an invitation to enjoy the flowers.
Sometimes these ancient people acted in such a pedantic way. For example, when Lin Fujian first submitted a memorial, clearly asking her to supervise it, Prince Yu would generally not do the same thing again. Following the trend is something that some minor officials are used to doing, but people like Prince Yu still have to be classy and generally don't follow the trend.
Even if Lin Fujian came to him directly, even if he really wanted to do the same, he had to change the form.
But Yan Shiyue is a person who dares to pretend to be confused when asked the slightest question, and he answered directly: I don’t like appreciating flowers.
Fortunately, her previous character establishment was very successful, so Prince Yu didn't seem angry and came to visit.
Prince Yu is a fat man, and his style is completely different from Lin Fujian.
He praised her amiably for half an hour. Although every word he said was quite sincere, she still couldn't help herself: "My Lord, I don't quite understand your pretentiousness, and I'm not very good at being polite with people. If you have anything to say, can you just say it directly?"
Prince Yu's expression did not look very good at the time, and there was a bit of contempt that he could not conceal.
