Chapter 1028: A sharp turn

At that moment, Lin Jue ordered someone to prepare a car and accompanied Fang Huanqiu back to Yulin Lane. As soon as they entered the door, Fang Huanqiu and Mrs. Fang hugged their heads and cried. Mrs. Fang had already received the news from the yamen and had already known about Fang Dunru's detention. To Lin Jue's surprise, Mrs. Fang was not as flustered as she imagined, except for wiping her tears with Fang Huanqiu for a while, she seemed very calm.

Lin Jue told Mrs. Fang about his rescue plan, and asked Mrs. Fang to visit Mr. with him at that time, and implored him to bow his head and admit his mistake to dissipate the emperor's anger. Mrs. Fang naturally nodded in agreement. Faced with Lin Jue and Fang Huanqiu's depressed mood, Mrs. Fang comforted them instead.

"Lin Jue, in fact, the old body has known for a long time that there is such a day. Since coming to the capital, the old body has not lived a life in fear. Your husband is fascinated by the change of the law, and he is desperate for this matter. The old body hears some bad things every day. After he expelled you from the school, I had a big fight with him, and I rarely spoke to him since. But I can see that he is really single-minded about changing the law. Your husband has really worked hard for this matter, and even abandoned a lot. Lin Jue, I know that he is ashamed of you in his heart, and he has your name when he talks in his dreams at night. Hey, in fact, you can understand him even if you don't say it. You are a good boy, and you don't hold a grudge against him for this, and the old body is very pleased. Since this spring, I've had a bad feeling that something is going to happen. Your husband actually understands it in his heart, otherwise how could he acquiesce to Huanqiu living with you? I know, he knows it in his heart. But he's such a person, and he's not going back. Lin Jue, good boy, you are willing to save your husband, my wife is very grateful. But my wife told you that you have to save nature, but if you can't save it, don't be reluctant, I don't want you to get involved. Since you said that the emperor was angry about this, you must not offend the emperor. You still have a large family, and we can't hurt you. And Qiu'er, she's still counting on you. Therefore, you must not force it to do it, otherwise the master will be even more worried. ”

Mrs. Fang's words made Lin Jue feel uncomfortable. From her words, Lin Jue knew how much suffering she had endured after coming to the capital. The wife who is spicy and cheerful on the outside is actually delicate and sensitive on the inside. But she silently endured this frightened life, but never revealed it to outsiders. Maybe in front of Mr. Fang, she didn't reveal the horror in her heart. Because she knew her husband, who was full of idealism, stubborn and unwilling to turn back. She respects her husband's choice, so she endures it all. The only thing she couldn't accept was the time she was expelled, and that was probably the first time she expressed her anger.

To this day, she is still worried that this matter will affect her, which shows that her wife is by no means the kind of selfish woman in the market. She is empathetic and considerate of others, even when it comes to such a time, she doesn't want to hurt others because of her own affairs. Although the brilliance of humanity shining on his wife's body was faint, it moved Lin Jue. It was the shining brilliance of an ordinary Da Zhou woman, but it was more touching and admirable than many people in high positions.

……

Things are fermenting faster than one might expect. While public opinion in the whole city was in an uproar, all kinds of different arguments began to fly all over the sky. Some people scolded Yan Zhengsu and Fang Dunru for living up to the emperor's great rebellion, and some people thought that there must be something strange or hidden in this. But in fact, public opinion in the streets has no real effect, and it is the rhetoric of officials within the Ordinance Department that really has an impact on this matter. Wu Chunlai's actions were very fast, and from the moment the Department of Regulations was sealed, the examination of officials of all sizes in the Department of Regulations had already begun. Soon, a large number of things in the regulations department exposed how Yan Zhengsu and Fang Dunru bullied their subordinates on weekdays, were stubborn and self-serving, how they spoke arrogant words, and did not take the emperor and the court seriously.

This is what human beings are, and this is also the ugliness of human nature. People say that adversity sees true love, and it is not bad at all. The time of calamity is actually the litmus test of human nature, and then we can know which people are speculators and which people are really here to change the law. What speculators do at this time is to get rid of the relationship as soon as possible, and even start to fall into the ground. There are many such individuals within the Department of Regulations.

When the Ordinance Department was established before, Lin Jue had reminded Fang Dunru that it was necessary to prevent some speculators from entering the Ordinance Division. These people can't do things well, and they will bite you back when it is critical. However, Fang Dunru and Yan Zhengsu were dismissive of this. At that time, what they wanted was to build momentum for the new Fa, and everyone who came to participate in the Fa change was regarded as if they were on the same path. They will be rejected unless there has been a clear misdeed. It is precisely for this reason that a large number of speculators have once gathered in the Ordinance Division, hoping to take advantage of the popularity of the law change to be promoted to the rank of official.

Although later, among the setbacks suffered by several changes, many people retreated in the face of difficulties, fearing that they would be implicated, and scared away many people. But there are still quite a few such people in the Department of Regulations. And they are also discovering more and more that participating in the change is the most wrong speculation they have ever made, not only can they not get anything, but they are also busy and hard, and they are as tired as dogs every day. Yan Zhengsu and Fang Dunru's tempers are not good, if something goes wrong, it must be scolded in public without mercy. So these guys are going to regret their bowels.

Now, the new law has been suspended, the Ordinance Department has been shut down, and the two adults and the backbone have been arrested and taken out of prison. How can these speculators go with them? Therefore, they have come out to report and expose, and even fabricated statements to frame, eager to draw a clear line, and pretend to be a victim of oppression. In addition, under the deliberate guidance of Wu Chunlai, half of the officials in the Ordinance Department turned against the water and wrote confessions exposing the charges one after another. There are all kinds of false accusations, what kind of stubbornness and self-use casually scolding and insulting subordinates, what kind of suppression and revenge, not allowing others to have any different opinions, what kind of appearance is loyal and traitorous, and slandering the government behind the scenes. What kind of corruption, abuse of power to embezzle finance, taxation, money and silver, and so on. It was really a piece of chicken feathers, and basins of dirty water were splashed on Fang Dunru and Yan Zhengsu.

Wu Chunlai was not idle, personally rummaging through the evidence in the public house of Yan Fang and the others, and spared no effort to confirm these accusations. Liu Xiding jumped up and down to assist, he was already very familiar with the inside of the Ordinance Department, and with him to assist, Wu Chunlai did half the work.

Lin Jue originally planned to enter the palace at night to see the driver, but he felt that he needed to ease Guo Chong's emotions and make it easier to intercede. But as the news fermented, he couldn't sit still in the public house. The whole Privy Council was boiling with the latest news. These officials were very well informed, and the news from the government hall across the square was always quick and accurate. The accusations against Yan Fang and some evidence obtained by Wu Chunlai and others in the Yamen of the Ordinance Department were also quickly reported to the Privy Council.

Lin Jue couldn't sit still, if it went on like this, these so-called evidence would definitely be reported to the emperor. At that time, Guo Chong must be even more angry, and it will be difficult to plead again. I must seize this opportunity to meet Guo Chong before these so-called evidence of slander and framing are played. Can't wait any longer.

Lin Jue greeted Ma Pi into them, and then left the public house and went out. When I left the yamen of the Privy Council, I happened to meet Yang Jun and his party who strode in from outside. Lin Jue hurriedly avoided saluting. Yang Jun had a smile on his face that couldn't be concealed, he had just returned from the Privy Council, and he had just drunk a few celebratory teas with Lu Zhongtian. accepted Lu Zhongtian's flattering words, and returned to the yamen with satisfaction. Of course he was very happy, from the moment Yan Zhengsu and Fang Dunru wanted to intervene in the reform of the army, Yang Jun was determined to bring down these two people. After several unsuccessful attempts, this time he was finally going to eradicate the two, and of course he was happy.

"It's okay to change the law, but don't move Lao Tzu's one-acre and three-point land, otherwise Lao Tzu will tell you to walk around without eating."

When Yang Jun said this, I am afraid that Fang Dunru and Yan Zhengsu did not take it to heart. Didn't care too much about the weight of this sentence. But Yang Jun is like this, he even does not hesitate to change his position, change his position of never participating in the factional disputes between the DPRK and China to bring down those who dare to offend him. He Yang Jun is such an extreme person, just like when he issued the extermination order, on the one hand, he had long-term considerations, for the long-term peace and stability of the Western Xia, and on the other hand, it was actually to punish the Western Xia tribes, because they ignored their own warnings and dared to disobey his warnings.

"Lord Lin, where are you going?" Yang Jun looked at Lin Jue, who was standing aside to avoid him, and asked.

Lin Jue said: "The lower officials went out for a walk, and there was a little stuffiness in the yamen. ”

"Well, it's true, the yamen is very sullen, and it's good to take a walk. But Lord Lin, the old man has something to tell you, don't be rash. You have a bright future ahead of you, but don't do anything wrong or mix in something you shouldn't do. Otherwise, it will destroy your future. There are some things that you can't mix in, and you can't change. It's okay to walk, but don't go where you shouldn't. Yang Jun said with a pun, not so much a warning as a threat. How could he not detect Lin Jue's emotions. In fact, he had been paying attention to Lin Jue's emotions in the morning hall.

"Don't worry, my lord, the lower officials know it. What should be done and what should not be done, the heart of the lower officials is like a mirror. Lin Jue said in a deep voice.

"Hehehe, that's good, you are a smart person, you don't need to say much. Go ahead, if you have anything on your mind, talk to the old man more, and the old man can unravel it for you. Hahaha, it's a good day. Go to Fanlou tonight to listen to music. Yang Jun laughed and strode away amid the sound of harmony from the people around him.

Lin Jue frowned and stood under the porch for a moment, then turned around and strode out of the yamen gate.
