Duan Jingqi snorted coldly, but he didn't expect Lin Meng to have such good acting skills, and he refused to admit it directly above the court.

Emperor Duan's face was cold, how could he not see through Lin Meng's tricks, but now there is no actual evidence to prove that he is behind the scenes, everything is said by others, this credibility is naturally not convincing to the public, and Emperor Duan cannot easily convict Lin Meng.

What's more, even if Lin Meng is at fault, he is not guilty to death, at most, he helped accuse Li Kang a few words in the court, not to mention that this crime will not be put in prison or even hurt him at all, not to mention that Lin Meng also pretended to be coerced by others, which made him even more innocent and helpless.

He also insisted that he dared to act so unscrupulously in the court because he didn't have real evidence, but who knew that someone really believed in his tricks, and he was lying beside him at this time, constantly shaking and shouting.

"Lord Lin, wake up!"

"Come on, wake him up!" Emperor Duan was irritable, his voice was stiff and angry, Su Mao instantly understood Emperor Duan's thoughts, and opened his mouth in a thin voice on the side.

"Why don't you come and get cold water!" Su Mao pretended to be anxious and walked down the steps to check, and easily took the cold water hurriedly sent by the little eunuchs, he reached out and tested the temperature, counting the nine cold days, this fruit is really cold and biting, "Lord Lin, wake up quickly!" ”

After speaking, he poured a basin of cold water on Lin Meng's head, and the person who was still pretending to be unconscious on the ground instantly jumped up in shock, and almost jumped up directly.

Even the people who called him around him were not spared, they were all splashed a lot more or less, and these ministers were full of excitement just as soon as they were dipped in cold water, so you can imagine what it was like for Lin Meng, who was over half a hundred years old, to be poured on his head.

Lin Meng got up and subconsciously became angry, but Su Mao's acting skills were even better, "Oh, my lord, you finally woke up, Your Majesty is worried!" ”

After hearing this, Lin Meng suddenly remembered that he was still in the court, he hurriedly knelt on the ground with a thud, and the cry came as soon as he said, "Your Majesty Shengming, even if Lin Yue has committed a serious crime, it should be decided by Your Majesty personally, and now Zhao Yuan is so bold that he dares to take away the prisoner privately and threaten the old minister, you must be the master of our Lin family!" ”

Lin Meng knocked his head on the ground, he was trembling and cold, and the tips of his hair and clothes were still dripping with ice water, and Emperor Duan, who was inexplicably much more comfortable.

Emperor Duan was not in a hurry now, he propped his head with one hand and deliberately dragged his voice long, "Zhao Yuan, you are guilty!" ”

Zhao Yuan trembled and slammed forward, and was instantly pulled back to his original position by the guards of the forbidden army, "Your Majesty is clear, Lin Meng reversed black and white, everything is his one-sided words, Lin Yue is indeed what I let go, but it was Lin Meng personally instructed, I am the one who was coerced, I implore Your Majesty to order to go to the Lin family to search, and I will definitely find the clues of Lin Yue's home!" ”

After speaking, Zhao Yuan knocked his head on the ground fiercely, Lin Meng was not a vegetarian, he kowtowed beside Zhao Yuan and never got up.

The two courtiers of this highness kowtowed in unison and their testimonies were diametrically opposed, which showed that they were putting pressure on Emperor Duan to see which side he was more inclined towards.

The civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty saw it in their eyes, but Emperor Duan smiled in his heart.

Lin Meng can be cheeky and not admit it, or he can be raked backwards, Emperor Duan really can't do anything to him now, but there is one thing he has done wrong, that is, he should not use himself as a bargaining chip to blackmail Emperor Duan to express his position.

Emperor Duan has experienced so many winds and waves, and it is not easy to cure a Lin Meng?

Sure enough, Emperor Duan spoke slowly, "Since you have your own opinions on Lin Yue's affairs, then I will order a search of the Lin family, so that I can still love Qing's innocence, come here!" ”

Emperor Duan gave Pei Mu an edict, and the latter immediately went to execute it after receiving the order, just because Emperor Duan finally advised, "Go and come back quickly, I am waiting for your news here." ”

As soon as he heard this, Lin Meng's heart suddenly cooled, because he was not only kneeling on the hall, but also soaking wet and shivering, Emperor Duan was already speaking slower than before, and now he had to wait for Pei Mu to come back and return to his life, Lin Meng This can be said to be like a year, and it seems that Emperor Duan has no intention of asking him and Zhao Yuan to get up at all.

Lin Meng's wishful thinking collapsed.

Even if Duan Jingqi was in charge of the government, he could see that Lin Meng was uncomfortable at this time, and he could be regarded as breathing a sigh of relief in his heart, so naturally he would not intercede for Lin Meng.

But what was surprising was that Duan Jingxun didn't talk much, Duan Jingqi looked at him, but saw the latter's face that didn't care about him.

That's right, everything Lin Meng did was not directly related to Duan Jingxun, even if Lin Meng was really doxxed one day, Duan Jingxun could completely pretend that he didn't know anything, since he had made up his mind to abandon Lin Meng's chess piece, there was no need to intercede for him at this time.

Duan Jingqi remembered the words that Duan Jingyi sent someone to instruct before leaving, 'Be careful not to rush in, rescuing Li Kang is the first work, and the rest can be done'.

Thinking of this, even if Duan Jingqi was angry, Lin Meng's face would not open his mouth again, and he would be embarrassed for half a point.

I only heard Emperor Duan of the palace say slowly, "Since Lin Yue's matter will have to wait for some time, then it is better to talk about Li Kang's matter first, Jingqi, and tell me what you have found." ”

"Yes!" Duan Jingqi came out and told everyone how Li Kang was framed in a clear manner, Shen Sheng and Zhao Yuan both confessed to framing Li Kang, and at this time, there was a whispering voice from the top again.

"Since Zhao Yuan even admitted to the framing, how could he bite the bullet and not admit the matter of secretly letting Lin Yue go." "Could it be that what Zhao Yuan said is true?"

His Royal Highness talked a lot, and although the voice was very small, it still inevitably reached the ears of Emperor Duan and Lin Meng.

Lin was startled, and slowly raised his neck that was about to freeze, "Your Majesty......"

But he didn't want to be stopped by Emperor Duan raising his hand as soon as he opened his mouth, "Aiqing, don't worry, I have already sent someone to investigate, and I will never let you be wronged," After speaking, Emperor Duan watched Lin Meng helplessly return to his original state before continuing to speak, "It is a serious crime to frame a courtier, Shen Sheng, behead!" ”

As soon as this statement came out, there was an uproar in the temple, and very few people were executed in the next year, and most of them were able to catch up with the grace of being pardoned at the end of the year after being imprisoned, and those who committed minor crimes were directly released from prison, and those who committed serious crimes could also get a few days of good treatment, and there were almost no cases of being executed before the year.

Shen Sheng immediately collapsed in the hall, and subconsciously shouted in horror, "The emperor is gracious, the minister was also instructed by Lin Meng!" Everything was Lin Meng's idea! ”

Lin Meng immediately trembled, and before he had time to quibble, he heard Emperor Duan's voice sink down, "Oh? You said you were also instructed by Lin Meng? Why don't you say it? ”

At the moment of life and death, Shen Sheng also let it go, "Before the minister was imprisoned, Lin Meng sent someone to find me and said that as long as he kept his mouth shut, he would definitely save me, so the minister did not tell the truth." ”

"Lin Meng! Now that two crucial people are pointing at you, you have something to say! ”

Lin Meng was taken aback, "The minister is wronged, someone must have instructed them to bite the minister together!" ”

Duan Jingqi was born in front of the palace, "Is Lord Lin alluding to this king?" Since the two of them were imprisoned, only this king has interrogated them, so what they say now is also taught by this king! ”

"Weichen doesn't dare!" Lin Meng couldn't afford to offend left and right, and he now knew that Emperor Duan didn't have the slightest trust in him, the reason why he was cheeky and stubborn here was because the certification of physical evidence had not reached the point of forcing him into a desperate situation, but now that both of them came to testify to themselves, this is obviously not the case like Fang Cai, "That's not what the minister meant, please Your Majesty to see it!" ”

"Mingcha," Emperor Duan snorted coldly, "I remember that when Li Kang was imprisoned, you also told me to be Mingcha, and at that time, you also relied on the testimony of the two of you to bite him and not let him go, and now since the situation is the same, you can't be different from Li Kang." ”

Lin Meng shouted in his heart, but it was too late, so he only heard Emperor Duan say sharply, "Come on, put Lin Meng in the prison of the Criminal Department, and interrogate him after the year!" ”

"Your Majesty!" Lin Meng raised his head in horror, just because of Shen Sheng's words, the direction of the court changed in an instant, "Your Majesty has been wronged!" Your Majesty is gracious! ”

Duan Jingqi sneered, "What is Lord Lin afraid of?" My father did not convict or remove you from your official position, but just let you be imprisoned and tried like Lord Li. Aren't you afraid that your father will really find out something? ”
