Chapter 1122: Guilty of Petitioning
After waiting for the courtyard to return to calm, Qi Yuan had time to ask them about the situation last night.
Although Lin Xin has almost revealed what he revealed, this is only some general things, and it is not detailed enough, so he will naturally be interrogated by Qi Yuan.
And what he wanted to know more was how many people were involved in this matter, and from this point of view, Qi Yuan could deduce the attitude of some of them.
Lin Xin lifted his hem, knelt in front of Qi Yuan, and said in a deep voice: "Back to the emperor, yesterday we vaguely noticed that something was wrong, and we couldn't contact you for a while, so we started to act privately, and after the matter came to an end, we waited at the gate of Yin's mansion overnight, waiting for the emperor to punish us." ”
"Punishment? What are you guilty of? ”
Lin Xin's words were neither humble nor arrogant, and he really didn't look like he was guilty at all, and he deliberately chose to discuss this matter at this time, just to avoid Gu Yu being implicated by himself, even if Gu Yu followed him to get involved in it from the beginning, Lin Xin also felt that one less person was guilty. Just one less.
"Ministers shouldn't privately inform others of their guesses, let them act on their own, and almost mess up the order of the capital."
Qi Yuan raised his eyebrows, feeling that this Lin Xin was much more sleek and sophisticated than he thought, but this was not a very good thing for Qi Yuan, which often meant that he was scheming.
However, this gave Qi Yuan a chance to test Lin Xin, as for whether he would tell the truth to himself, Qi Yuan was not worried, he would naturally investigate it well
"Let's talk about what you have done?"
It's nothing more than a check and balance, and he doesn't want his courtiers to get too close.
Although they are all their right-hand men, if they get too close, they are afraid that it will be a threat to themselves, especially if they can connect with each other privately and act rashly without their permission, will they unite in the future and overthrow the rule of the Celestial Empire?
"Gu Yu and I found General Chang Lei and Shangguan Hongdu's commanders, told them that there were spies from other countries in the capital, and there were quite a few of them, and asked them to help arrest them. also used Mrs. Chang's authority to borrow the power of the Red Mansion, so that most of the spies from other countries could be arrested overnight.
Overnight, a total of 172 spies from other countries were arrested, six of whom had small bombs in their hands, and three of them were in the harem, and all the bombs had been seized and tested......
Listening to Gu Yu's story, Qi Yuan was silent for a long time and said, "You have caught all the spies?" ”
If that's the case, then Lin Xinke is not only capable of it, but also has to go against the sky.
"Back to the emperor's words, not all. There are also some that are too cunning to be caught. And the mastermind behind the scenes only knows her name, and there is no way to find her hiding place. As for this man's subordinates, the minister found nothing, and asked the emperor for forgiveness. ”
Lin Xin said with some shame, hearing that the corners of Qi Yuan's forehead jumped, he had done so many things overnight, even if there were other people to help, this ability was really terrifying.
You know, spies from other countries are not melons in a vegetable field, you can see at a glance, he not only found out all the people, but also caught so many, how did this happen?
And listening to his tone, he seems to be a little dissatisfied with his ability to do things, but this is more like showing off, which sounds a little harsh.
"Hmph, so you mean to say that you spent one night arresting more than a hundred people, but you didn't even find out who the most important person was?"
Regarding the mastermind behind the scenes, Qi Yuan is more familiar with it than Lin Xin, and he naturally knows what kind of person Huo Jiuling is. If the other party really mastered the Heavenly Technique, he would naturally be able to easily evade the capture of others.
Qi Yuan hooked the corners of his mouth and said, "What do you think should be guilty of this?" ”
This can be regarded as Qi Yuan's deliberate fault, but he also has a certain truth in saying this. Not to mention the concept of quietly arresting nearly 200 people overnight, just in terms of this merit, it should be one of the best in the Celestial Empire.
But the same such a move will bring irreparable danger to the Celestial Empire. Those spies who were put into the capital of the Celestial Empire were more or less capable people.
Or it is a person who is valued by his own country, and once they are arrested, it will inevitably affect the pattern of the world, thinking about it, Lin Xin should also know this, but why does he arrest all the people? It's kind of incredible.
Maybe this is just his expedient measure, but it doesn't matter if it is, the most important thing is that Qi Yuan can use these things to do something.
Lin Xin was speechless, staring at the cyan masonry in front of him for a long time, and then said: "From the perspective of the minister, it should be a capital crime." However, it is more useful for the villain to live than to die, and he asked the emperor to let the ministers live to atone for their sins. ”
Lin Xin didn't really want to live so aggrieved, but now only by constantly lowering his posture can he fool the emperor into the past.
He just wants to be a powerful minister with real power.
"Oh, tell me, why did I keep you?"
Lin Xin scolded in his heart, if he didn't know now that they would have the ability to spend last night in peace, and knew that what he did was a little inappropriate, Lin Xin would not have begged for forgiveness in a low voice here. Eighty percent of them will not get involved in this matter.
But it's hard to buy money, so instead of secretly regretting it in your heart, it's better to find something you can do.
Now if you want to make Qi Yuan unwary at all, it is almost impossible, so it is better not to bother to do this, or still do your own thing, and think about how to remedy it later.
"The minister will solve the case."
Lin Xin twisted his eyebrows, thinking for a long time that for Qi Yuan, his value seemed to be the only one, and he didn't know what Qi Yuan thought about solving the case.
"Oh, what about other than that?"
"Huh?"
Lin Xin smiled bitterly, thinking in his heart, and suddenly said something unrelated: "The fortunes of the world will become more and more chaotic from today onwards, the minister only has one head, and the only one who can use it is the head, and the only thing that can be done is to solve the case...... Your Majesty, you are a person with great strategy, so naturally you will not kill Weichen because of this kind of thing. ”
"You said so much, don't you just want me to let you go, I can promise not to blame the past, but what can you do?"
Lin Xin thought about it, and suddenly thought of an interesting thing, he felt that he was really not suitable to follow the pace of others to do things, so he said another earth-shattering sentence: "Your Majesty, I am no longer an official, I am willing to take charge of the Red Mansion for the emperor for life, and I will never have the slightest selfishness." ”
