Chapter 451: Words of the Heart
"Shen Yan, you deceived people too much, and even took the official's words out of context. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info" Lin Xiaotang's eyes flashed with anger, staring at Shen Yan coldly, eager to swallow Shen Yan in one bite.
"Out of context? Lord Ministry, do you think it is necessary for the lower officials to do this, the lower officials and the ministers have no grudges in the past, and they have no enmity in the near future, is it necessary for the lower officials to frame the ministers like this? A faint smile appeared on the corner of Shen Yan's mouth, as if he was not moved by Lin Xiaotang's expression.
"Shen Yan, you really don't have the need to frame the official, but you misinterpreted the official's meaning." Seeing Shen Yan's demeanor, a look of annoyance flashed in Lin Xiaotang's eyes, he was very heavy today, which seriously affected the new area and status of this official in the Criminal Department.
"Lord Ministry, the lower officials are just talking about things, the eighteenth prince is the head of the criminal department, and the lower official is also a member of the criminal department, there are two lower officials to try this case, and the lord of the ministry still feels that there is still a cat in it, this is not a distrust of the lower officials and the eighteen princes, is it still in the spirit of seriousness and truth-seeking." A faint sneer appeared at the corner of Shen Yan's mouth, the viciousness committed by Zhong Wei was clear to anyone in the lobby of the Criminal Department, no one had jumped out to try this case before, they were unwilling to take responsibility, or unwilling to offend the Ten Princes, but if there was a cathole in this trial, it would be simply talking nonsense with their eyes open.
"If the Lord of the Ministry trusts the lower officials and the Eighteen Princes, how can he use the Criminal Department to review the criminal name."
"The official is just talking about the case with a responsible attitude, but Shen Yan is using the words of the official out of context to distort the words of the official, your intentions are obvious, saying that you did not receive the benefits of Zhou Futong because you bought the house from Zhou Futong, so you will pronounce the sentence of Zhong Wei's case." Lin Xiaotang knew that if he didn't beat Shen Yan's arrogance today, he would have no prestige in the Criminal Department, so Lin Xiaotang framed Shen Yan indiscriminately.
"The Lord of the Ministry is worthy of being a master of operating the criminal name for many years, such a shallow words come out of the mouth of the Lord of the Ministry of the Hall is so profound, the respect of the lower officials for the Lord of the Ministry is like Qin Shui, and the Lord of the Ministry is worthy of being a model for us." At this moment, if Shen Yan couldn't guess Lin Xiaotang's intentions, then Shen Yan's IQ could also be with pigs, so a mocking smile appeared on the corner of Shen Yan's mouth, and he said-for-tat with Lin Xiaotang.
Shen Yan didn't want to fight against Lin Xiaotang, his original idea was just to ask Lin Xiaotang not to interfere with himself and Xia Yuanxu's trial of the case, but who knew that Lin Xiaotang wanted to frame himself without discipline in order to protect his face, could he really think that he was a vegetarian, so easy to bully, what if you are the head of the department, the problem is not the level of the official position, nor the size of the voice, but who has the first opportunity.
Shen Yan occupies an absolute lead in this regard, even if Lin Xiaotang wants to frame Shen Yan, it is not an easy task, first of all, Shen Yan has Xia Yuanxu, a seemingly empty prince, as a foil, and Gao Yong, who seems to be a bystander, the most critical point is that he has obtained an important capital from Gao Yong's mouth: the emperor knows that Shen Yan is trying this case, and he is also worried that there are young people who are not good for Shen Yan's intentions, which fully explains the emperor's attitude towards this case.
Whether Lin Xiaotang knows the emperor's subtext or not, Shen Yan doesn't care, what Shen Yan cares about most at the moment is how to overturn Lin Xiaotang's false accusations and let Lin Xiaotang reap the consequences.
"However, even if it is the Lord of the Ministry, there are some things that can be said, and some things cannot be said nonsense, if you don't trust the Eighteen Princes, you don't trust the emperor, the Lord of the Ministry is the rhythm of rebellion, I didn't expect that the Lord of the Ministry has such a great ideal in his heart, and the lower officials are really worried about the Lord of the Ministry." If you are unkind, then don't blame me for being unjust, understand Lin Xiaotang's intentions, Shen Yan's counterattack is no longer so tactful and conservative, but uses the sharpest language to attack Lin Xiaotang.
"Ridiculous, who is this official, the emperor knows very well in his heart, you actually framed this official for having the intention of rebellion, it seems that it is you Shen Yan who really wants to rebel." Hearing Shen Yan put a hat on himself for the crime of rebellion, a faint chuckle appeared in Lin Xiaotang's eyes, it has been more than thirty years since he took the examination to become a scholar of the Criminal Department, and for so many years, what he has done can be said to be clear to the emperor, and it seems too child's joke to think that he is rebelling just based on Shen Yan's nonsense.
"The emperor is a Ming monarch, but also a holy monarch, what kind of person the ministry is, the emperor knows very well in his heart, and it is precisely because he knows what kind of person the ministry is, so he has let the lower officials and the eighteen princes come to serve in the criminal department, doesn't this still reflect the emperor's attitude towards the ministry lord, or is it that the ministry lord has been used to smooth sailing for so many years, and has long forgotten who is the real master of the criminal department." A sly smile appeared in Shen Yan's eyes, and he lashed out at Lin Xiaotang with a heart-wrenching word.
After Lin Xiaotang heard Shen Yan's words, he suddenly fell into deep thought. Yes, if the emperor still trusts himself, then why did he let Shen Yan serve as the head of the Criminal Department first, and later when Shen Yan held many positions, he also had to serve as a member of the Criminal Department, and the emperor also knew that the Criminal Department was the power of the Seven Princes, but why did he still deeply insert the Eighteen Princes, is it really as Shen Yan said, the emperor has thought about himself, and he will not be as good as Gu Chaoru?
Lin Xiaotang has experienced the era of the emperor's iron wrist, and he is full of fear of the emperor's wrist in his bones, but over the years, the emperor has gradually become gentle, and even adopted inaction, the purpose seems to be cultivating the successor of Great Xia, and he is turning a blind eye to the princes' struggle for power and profit, but if he really wants to violate the emperor's bottom line, the emperor still doesn't mind using his iron and blood wrist.
Thinking of this, a trace of fear appeared in Lin Xiaotang's eyes.
What is Lin Xiaotang's thoughts, although Shen Yan is a little concerned, but what Shen Yan really cares about is his own words, the thoughts of the other officials and clerks in the lobby, in fact, Shen Yan's words are not only for Lin Xiaotang to hear, but more for others in the lobby.
Shen Yan's purpose is to imply that these people are already suspicious of Lin Xiaotang, and he also has Lin Xiaotang's mind, if you people are smart enough, don't follow Lin Xiaotang all the way to the dark, you should know the current affairs and take the initiative to have a good relationship with the eighteen princes, maybe so, no matter how the criminal department moves, you will still not be implicated.
