Chapter 829: Protect Ji's family
Chapter 829 Protecting the Ji Family
The aunt and sister-in-law arrived in front of the Hall of Mental Cultivation while they were talking.
Looking at the deep hall, Chu Nanzhi began to shout angrily towards the inside: "Lin Dalang, come out, since you are so cruel, why hide in the Hall of Mental Cultivation and dare not meet your old friend?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Jinxiao was nowhere to be seen, only Haida, who was serving him, came out in a hurry.
"Empress, Your Majesty ordered that since Princess Shu has entered the palace, let the Eldest Princess stay in the Queen's Palace to recuperate in peace these days, and don't have to go back to Ji's house for the time being."
Hai Da'e word by word, according to the original meaning, very respectful pass on the words.
Lin Jinshu was taken aback by Chu Nanzhi's menacing appearance. She had never seen the emperor's wife so tough and dared to speak to the emperor like this.
Fearful and afraid of hurting her, she knelt down again with her sickly body, and said respectfully to the inside: "Chenmei came here today to plead guilty to His Majesty on behalf of Ji's family, and return the five hundred thousand that my father-in-law hid. acres of land and 700,000 taels of dirty silver."
"Master Shangshu also greedy for the land confiscated by the Tang family?"
Faced with such a shocking number, Chu Nanzhi was also shocked when he heard it, almost had a heart attack, and immediately lost the confidence to intercede with the Ji family.
It seems that the matter of the Ji family is really serious.
No wonder the little boy is so angry.
Looking at the booklet in Lin Jinshu's hand, Chu Nanzhi took it and handed it to Hai Da, and continued to say to the hall: "Lin Dalang, you have already said something, as long as the Yin and Ji families hand over the hidden land If you don’t want money, you won’t be held accountable for the crimes of the two families, not to mention that the crime is not as good as your wife and children, since it is the fault of Lord Shang Shu, why should you implicate the eldest princess and son-in-law to suffer together.”
Seeing that there was still no movement in the palace, Chu Nanzhi also knelt down directly: "The princess and Lord Shangshu, father and son, have entered the palace, please give me a hearty word, how do you plan to deal with Lord Shangshu?"
After all, the Ji family is not a simple family, and the general directly led people to surround other people's mansions. This not only discredited the Ji family, but also embarrassed the ancestors.
The empress dowager bestowed the marriage on Ji Rongheng and Lin Jinhui. Before Jinhui got married, Ji's family was under suspicion. If she knew about it, she would not get sick again.
Even if the death of Dangyang County Magistrate Xia Yuan cannot be separated from the Ji family, the investigation method is not the same.
Hearing the commotion outside, Lin Jinxiao couldn't help but walked out.
Seeing Chu Nanzhi kneeling on the ground, Lin Jinxiao's heart was pierced, and he immediately stepped forward to help her up, reprimanded angrily, "You are messing around with me too."
But he glanced at the booklet in Hai Da'er's hand, and then turned his head to glance at Lin Jinshu who was emaciated, and could only order: "Go and invite uncle and son-in-law to the Hall of Mental Cultivation."
Then he helped his aunt and sister-in-law into the hall.
When he got to the stove, he looked at Chu Nanzhi's thin clothes, and then he took the robe from the desk and put it on her body, and reproached him distressedly: "It's freezing cold, who told you to go out dressed like this?" .”
Chu Nanzhi was suffocated because he concealed all these things from her, and she just stared at the stove in a daze, ignoring him.
Lin Jinxiao had no choice but to face Lin Jinshu, and said bluntly, "Jinshu, you and your son-in-law have been fighting abroad for these years. I am afraid that you know very little about the affairs of the Ji family. Even the matter of uncle's greed for the land of the Tang family is at this juncture. Knowing, it can be seen that they are not hiding one or two things from you."
After a pause, he continued with a wry smile: "Just a few days ago, the uncle of the governor of the second room of the Ji family sent a good news, saying that the government and the people in Tanzhou are united. Revitalize the style of the whole state so that the people can live and work in peace and contentment, and let the lion open his mouth to ask me to allocate 4 million taels of disaster relief money to help Tanzhou relieve the refugees after the war. Little do they know that Tanzhou has long been reduced to a Shura cemetery protected by officials and officials. The famous families are extravagant and ordinary. The people have been starving to death,
Even so, Ji Huaizhang still didn't know how to repent, and continued to encircle the people's land, not to mention, he dared to put all his ideas into my treasury. He really deceived me when I first got involved in the government and didn't check the people's sentiments in various places. If I didn't make up my mind and hit hard Attack, I'm afraid it won't be long before I will be the second late emperor, and Ji Huaizhang will be the second Tang Yao, right? "
After hearing these words, Chu Nanzhi suddenly realized.
I didn't expect the Ji family to be so arrogant.
Lin Jinxiao said again: "It's not that I don't care about friendship. The imperial court ordered officials to be killed one after another in Tanzhou. If things go on like this, then Tanzhou has really become an extrajudicial place where Emperor Shan Gao is far from the Ji family."
It wasn't until this moment that Lin Jinshu dared to conclude that the Ji family really had raised many tribal private troops in the three prefectures of Qinghe, and what she saw was that nearly 200,000 taels of slave salaries were allocated to various manors every year. It's just a number on the books.
What her father-in-law revealed today made her suddenly alert. It is really hard to estimate the things that the family has kept from herself and her son-in-law these years.
Sitting down on the ground with ashes, she was as sad and melancholy as a little wild horse who had lost her faith and lost her home. She sighed weakly: "It's all because my sister didn't notice, and made Your Majesty sad for the Ji family."
Lin Jinshu helped her up with deep eyes, and persuaded her earnestly:
"Jinshu, you are my imperial sister, the most important granddaughter of the emperor's grandmother, and the favorite student of my mentor. I believe in you, and I also believe that the son-in-law will never step into this quagmire. I let Zhang Yu imprison the Ji Mansion for The country of the empire is to protect the members of the Ji clan who were not involved in this case, you can rest assured that I can pardon the old Jingling party, and I will never wrong the innocent members of the Ji family."
"Thank you for the kindness of the emperor's brother. My sister hereby swears that she will help the emperor to thoroughly investigate the cause of death of the court officer Shi Luhuan and the county supervisor Xia Yuan, and order the Ji family to return all the occupied land and disband all the parts."
Lin Jinshu also made up his mind, at least until the truth came to light, she would never turn to anyone in the Ji family again.
Right now even her own father-in-law can't be trusted, and it's even harder for the rest of the Ji family to generate trust in her heart.
"This is my good imperial sister."
Lin Jinshu smiled gratifiedly, placed her and sat down by the stove, then looked at Chu Nanzhi who was listening carefully, and curled his lips at her dumbfounded: "You should be relieved now?"
"Hey, I don't want to throw anger at you either."
Chu Nanzhi calmly explained to him: "Not to mention that Jin Shu is the daughter-in-law of the Ji family, Jin Hui did not agree to be married to General Rong Heng before, and the Ji family made such a scene before she even passed the door. How will she re-enter Ji's house?"
"The official queen of Haikang County has also seen it. Now that the whole Tanzhou and even Qinghe Land have been reduced to such a situation, how dare a husband let Jinhui marry into Ji's family and suffer such an innocent disaster."
Lin Jinxiao thought for a moment, then replied decisively: "Now I want to see whether he, Ji Rongheng, wants this marriage or helps his brother to help the evildoers."
Now that things are going on, Chu Nanzhi would rather suspend the marriage than let Jin Hui marry into the Ji family and suffer, so she immediately agreed to his proposal.
