Chapter 410 It’s actually refined salt
"Brother Lin, you should be more careful. People in Dayu Country have always been cunning and cunning."
Fengsheng reminded him from the side, with a bit of worry in his eyes.
She also saw that the visitor to Dayu Country was not good this time.
"It doesn't matter, the soldiers will block it, and the water will cover it with earth."
Lin Xiaofan didn't mind. Looking outside, I saw Tian Meng squatting on the ground, teasing the ants with a wooden stick.
Only then did he remember that he had forgotten Tian Meng outside.
"Well, I have something else to do. Let's see you another day."
Lin Xiaofan scratched his head in embarrassment.
"Okay, Brother Lin, please walk slowly."
There was no place to stay in the palace, and as the sun was almost setting, Fengsheng didn't stay much.
After returning to Zhao's house, he was speechless all night. In the early morning of the next day, Lin Xiaofan was woken up by Zhao Ziyu's people.
"Brother Lin, come to the morning court."
Zhao Ziyu said.
Emperor Daqian was usually lazy and only went to the morning court every five days, so he just happened to catch up today.
There are quite a few officials from the Zhao family, and there are four of them traveling with them.
He didn't have much expectations for the job of Shaofu Supervisor. After taking office, he could just find any reason and leave the work to others.
Now in the capital, he still has many things to do and has no time to deal with these miscellaneous things.
The Zhao family is not far from the palace, and it only takes two-quarters of an hour to walk there.
When they arrived at the Jinluan Hall, there were already many people standing inside. Many of them greeted the officials of the Zhao family, and some asked about Lin Xiaofan's life experience.
About a quarter of an hour later, all the ministers had arrived, but Emperor Daqian had not yet arrived.
Ministers have long been accustomed to this, gathering together in twos and threes, talking about trivial matters.
I don’t know how much time passed before the eunuch’s voice sounded from outside.
"The Emperor has arrived!"
The whispers stopped and everyone cheered up.
Lin Xiaofan looked at the Emperor Daqian who walked in. His condition today seemed worse than yesterday. His face was pale and he was coughing from time to time.
Coming with Emperor Da Qian was the envoy of Dayu.
He was wearing loose clothes, his small eyes were narrowed, and he tilted his head hard, wanting to look at people through his nostrils.
"Who is this?"
"do not know."
"I heard that the Great Jade Messenger arrived yesterday. Could it be him?"
"look like."
Emperor Daqian sat on the dragon chair, coughed twice, and then waved his hand.
The eunuch on the side picked up the edict, handed it to the official and read it:
"It is God's destiny, the emperor decreed:
If I want to govern the world, I must appoint talents and envoys to bring peace to the people. Now there is Lin Xiaofan, who has both talent and virtue. During his tenure as the magistrate of Degao County, he fulfilled his duties and made achievements. Later, he led the Qingzhou Army to conquer seven counties in Daliang. He was now specially appointed as Shaofu Supervisor.
Admire this. "
After the words fell, there was an uproar below. The Shaofu Superintendent is not a small official, and there is a lot of money to be made.
However, Lin Xiaofan is indeed worthy of this official position based on his merits.
"Everyone, do you have any objections?"
Emperor Daqian asked.
"Your Majesty, I have an objection!"
The Dayu Messenger suddenly said, his eyes sweeping over Lin Xiaofan with a proud smile on his face.
"What objection do you have?"
Emperor Daqian frowned slightly. None of the ministers of Daqian had spoken yet, but he, an outsider, was the first to speak.
"I came today to ask for an explanation! When Lin Xiaofan was the magistrate of Degao County, he once tortured a civilian."
The great jade messenger said.
"Lin Xiaofan, is this happening?"
Emperor Daqian asked.
"Your Majesty, this is absolutely not the case. Envoy Dayu, please provide evidence."
Lin Xiaofan immediately denied it.
"Evidence? There is no evidence. I do have witnesses here, just outside the palace."
The Dayu Messenger spoke, but not long after, Lin Mobi walked into the hall, and fell to his knees on the ground.
"Emperor Da Qian, you have to make the decision for me. When I returned to Degao County, I saw that my whole family was forced into the Yamen by Lin Xiaofan to wait for questioning. I wanted to go in and ask what was going on, but was beaten by someone. He was beaten severely. Look here, here, and here."
As he spoke, he kept pointing at the wounds on his body.
Da Qianhuang's eyebrows furrowed even more tightly. Judging from Lin Mobi's appearance, it seemed to be true.
The ministers on the scene also began to discuss.
"Your Majesty, according to my investigation, the Lin family committed a total of 324 rapes, 208 murders, more than 1,000 beatings, and embezzled nearly 30,000 taels in the ten years they were in Degao Town. He evaded nearly 10,000 taels of silver in taxes. He also raised a group of bandits who robbed the people of their food and grass, causing countless people to starve to death, and then he executed everyone in his family."
"But this man came to the Yamen without saluting me, and he made rude remarks. According to the national law of Daqian, he should be beaten with ten strokes. When he was about to arrest him, he drew his sword and confronted him. The four accomplices fought hard, and then they gave him thirty strokes. .”
"There is still evidence of everything I said in the yamen."
Lin Xiaofan stood up to explain himself, with a cold look in his eyes.
Fortunately, when he destroyed the three major families, he collected enough evidence, otherwise he might be in big trouble today.
After these words, even Lin Mobi fell silent.
For this crime of the Lin family, even if the whole family had three heads, it would still not be enough to cut off.
However, the Dayu Messenger on the side quickly regained his composure and continued:
"Haha, County Magistrate Lin has such great authority, but if he doesn't salute you or says a few words to you, he will be beaten ten times. Your Majesty, this person is from our Great Jade Chamber of Commerce. Beating him is equivalent to beating our Great Jade Kingdom. I hope you can make the decision for my great jade country."
The envoy of Dayu bowed his head.
"Magistrate Lin is just doing things according to the rules. There is nothing wrong with it. Let's forget about it. Why did Dayu send you here this time?"
Da Qianhuang waved his hand and directly explained the matter in one sentence.
Lin Xiaofan was his future niece-in-law. Not to mention that Lin Xiaofan was right, even if he was wrong, he would always look after Lin Xiaofan first.
Moreover, it would definitely be troublesome to investigate this matter. He hated troublesome things the most.
However, the Dayu Messenger snorted coldly and had no intention of letting Lin Xiaofan go so easily.
"Your Majesty, I came here with sincerity this time, but I didn't expect you to treat me so lightly."
Seeing this scene, Chen Menghuai and Zhang Zinan were crazy with joy.
Come on, it's best to take this opportunity to kill Lin Xiaofan, so as to save them from taking action.
The Dayu Messenger saw Emperor Daqian's eyebrows wrinkled more and more tightly, but he remained calm.
This time, he brought something that Emperor Daqian could not resist.
In his opinion, as long as he takes out this thing, let alone questioning Lin Xiaofan, even if he beheads him, the Emperor Qian will not frown.
"Your Majesty, let me tell you the truth. Decades ago, our Jade Emperor sent people to explore the sea. After decades, we finally met an immortal in a cave."
"The immortal saw that we were destined, and gave us a kind of salt with a crystal clear appearance, like snow. The meals made with it are not only delicious, but also can prolong life."
