Chapter 331: Prime Minister's Protégé

Lu Zhi and Chen Jinglai naturally showed that they had evidence in their hands.

That Gong Lin thought that the emperor of Lincheng Tiangao was far away, and he was an official of the national prison who wanted to do whatever he wanted, and there was no restriction on doing things at all. So this time, Gong Lin did it without concealment, and even smug in front of Chen Jing. Just as Hua Qingyan and Jin Nanshu saw that day, he was not afraid when Chen Jing found out, and he didn't bother to tell Chen Jing to let him not meddle in his affairs.

Because of this, the evidence is very easy to obtain.

However, thinking of the people behind Gong Lin, Chen Jing and Lu Zhi were a little undecided, so they specially came to find Hua Qingyan, hoping to ask Jin Nanshu's little marquis and Hua Qingyan's opinions.

"What other special background does this Gong Lin have?"

The person who can make Chen Jing and Lu Zhi jealous must be a big shot. You must know that Lu Zhi is the biggest official in Linzhou Mansion, and these stewards of Guozijian are also on an equal footing, and they are of the same rank as Lu Zhi. That being the case, then Gong Lin's background is definitely not in this small Linzhou Mansion.

Chen Jing's face rarely showed a trace of embarrassment and jealousy, "Gong Lin is the protégé of the prime minister of the dynasty. ”

Hua Qingyan is not familiar with Daqi's officials, but she also knows what kind of existence the prime minister is, and it can be regarded as one person under ten thousand people. Hua Qingyan frowned, feeling that this matter might be a little difficult to handle.

Chen Jing said again: "The prime minister of the dynasty is surnamed Qin, he is an old minister, and he has been an emperor. Emperor Qiyuan trusted him very much during his reign, and it can be said that he was in power against the government and the opposition, if it weren't for Marshal Hua and Prince Rui in all aspects, Prime Minister Qin Cheng was afraid that he would have already become the first person under the emperor. Later, he became a teacher for several princes, and there were countless students under him, and most of the civil officials in the court were related to Prime Minister Qin. ”

Emperor Qiyuan was already the prime minister during his reign, and he was also Emperor Qiyuan's teacher, so you can imagine the age of this Qin prime minister.

"May I ask if this Prime Minister Qin will have a high birthday this year?"

Hua Yaozong sneered and rubbed the curious Hua Qingyan's head, "I know that Prime Minister Qin, he was only in his twenties when he was Emperor Qiyuan's teacher, and Emperor Qiyuan was still young, and he was only in his teens, so he was not much older than your father and me." Now that so many years have passed, I am afraid that there are also ancient rarities. Prime Minister Qin is serious and doesn't know how to be flexible, and he has been trembling sitting in this prime minister's high position for so many years. At that time, Prime Minister Qin was upright and did not know how to be flexible, which offended many people. ”

As soon as Hua Yaozong's words fell, he saw Chen Jing and Lu Zhi looking at him with shocked expressions, their eyes full of doubts, obviously a strange wonder, how could he know so much about the high-ranking prime minister.

Hua Yaozong smiled faintly and said with some emotion: "Anyway, I used to be an official in the capital, and the prime minister still sees me often." ”

Chen Jing looked at Hua Yaozong for a while, and then thought of this person's surname Hua, and a figure appeared in his mind inexplicably. There were not many important members of the court with the surname of Chaohua, and only one was the generalissimo Hua. What is Marshal Flower called? That's right, Hua Yaozong!

"Marshal!" Chen Jing's eyes lit up instantly when she looked at Hua Yaozong, and her eyes were full of admiration. Although Chen Jing is a civil official, he is not weak in martial arts, and he can be regarded as both civil and military. Chen Jing has deep respect for Hua Yaozong who guards the frontier, if it were not for him and those soldiers on the frontier, how could they be stable and how could they enjoy this peaceful and prosperous world?

Hua Yaozong was a little surprised to be recognized, but he shook his head and didn't admit it: "My lord recognized the wrong person, I'm not a marshal." Isn't the marshal of our Daqi still appointed? ”

"Marshal Hua, you ......" Seeing that Hua Yaozong didn't admit it, Chen Jing was a little anxious. However, the person who can be the governor of the country is not stupid, and he quickly thought of the previous incident of Marshal Hua's treason with the enemy. Because of Emperor Qiyuan's order, the marshal's family was wiped out. And Hua Yaozong should be a dead man now, and it is impossible for him to appear here at all.

Although Chen Jing didn't know how Hua Yaozong escaped death, the person he respected was alive, and Chen Jing was also happy from the bottom of his heart. However, he didn't continue to dwell on this issue, he just needed to know in his heart that this was his marshal, "That old man, how are you doing lately?" ”

"That's good." Hua Yaozong pinched his arms and legs, and smiled brightly, "What is bad about me, good food and good living, look at this house, in addition to the palace and Rui Wangfu, where can I find a better house than this in the capital, there is a villa behind our house!" ”

Looking at Hua Yaozong's proud little expression, Chen Jing also snorted and laughed. He was indeed happy in his heart, and Marshal Hua, who had retired from the battlefield, seemed to be living more freely than before.

Lu Zhi looked confused the whole time, although Hua Yaozong and Chen Jing both wanted to cover up later, but Lu Zhi was not a fool, how could he not hear it! Just when Chen Jing blurted out the marshal, Lu Zhi had already guessed it.

He is a prefect, so he can naturally know a lot of things that the officials below do not know. Marshal Hua collaborated with the enemy and treasoned all over the house, and then he received the arrest warrant for his youngest daughter to escape. However, the prefect of this remote area thought that he would not meet Hua Qingyan on the arrest warrant, so he took a look at it and left it behind. So much so that he didn't recognize anyone at all when he saw Hua Qingyan. Of course, at that time, he couldn't imagine Hua Qingyan, who was like a noble girl, as a fugitive.

However, after such a reminder, Lu Zhi remembered.

The two in front of me, one is the marshal who should have been executed before, and the other is a fugitive who is on the run!

Lu Zhi's heart trembled for a while, and the eyes of the two of them were quite strange.

Lu Zhi knew that now as long as the news of these two people was passed on and passed on to his superiors, then what was waiting for him would definitely be a promotion!

However, Lu Zhi was not hot-headed, and he also knew that if he did this, the first thing he was waiting for would definitely be the revenge of Hua Qingyan and Hua Yaozong, and he was afraid that he would not be able to get out of this mansion. Moreover, the relationship between Hua Qingyan and Xiao Hou Ye is definitely not simple, and he also knows the generals beside Prince Rui, Lu Zhi knows in his heart that these two people must not be provoked.

What he can do at present is to firmly guard the identities of the two like Chen Jing, and then stand firmly on their side!

Lu Zhi, who was surging in his heart, finally forced himself to calm down, he took a deep breath and pulled the topic back: "This Gong Lin is Prime Minister Qin's protégé, so we don't know if there is a prime minister intervening in this." Lu Zhi paused, a little embarrassed, "After all, Cheng is too big for us local officials. ”

"Prime Minister Qin doesn't know what he's been thinking all these years, he doesn't talk about yin and yang, and he loves to do things." Hua Yaozong smacked his tongue rather disdainfully.

"Two, tell us what to do next."

If Gong Lin did not have Prime Minister Qin behind him, Lu Zhi and Chen Jing could have arrested the person first and then reported it to the imperial court. But after having a relationship, the two of them became constrained, because one careless would make their black yarn hat unsafe.

Hua Qingyan is not afraid of Prime Minister Qin, because she thinks that her backstage is also relatively powerful. Hua Qingyan smiled and said, "It's better to go back like this, the two of you go back first, and I'll give you the results in three days at most." When the time comes, whether it will take people or not, will let the two of you know. The two adults will not be allowed to take any risks. ”

"This ......" Chen Jing and Lu Zhi glanced at each other, and Lu Zhi agreed with a mouthful of promise. But Chen Jing was a little unbearable in her heart. After he learned the identities of Hua Yaozong and Hua Qingyan, he naturally favored them in his heart, and naturally he didn't want anything to happen to them. He thought that he would take the matter down first, and he would definitely expose Gong Lin, and even if he lost his black yarn hat at that time, it would not matter.

Hua Qingyan naturally saw Chen Jing's thoughts, and felt some emotion in her heart. But where do they need Chen Jing to come forward. Hua Qingyan didn't ink, and directly took out a small ink jade talisman from the small purse she carried and threw it to Chen Jing.

Chen Jing took it carefully, and she was quite careful when she held it in the palm of her hand. The last time he saw this talisman was just a glance, and today he can be regarded as seeing it with all beards and tails. But just a glance, and returned it respectfully to Hua Qingyan.

Chen Jing understood the reason why Hua Qingyan took out this talisman, that is, she wanted to tell him that there was the regent behind her back in this matter, and they could do it boldly with confidence, even if the sky fell, the regent would be on top of it. There is no need for Chen Jing to make any sacrifices for their Hua family's father and daughter.

After sending Chen Jing and Lu Zhi away, Hua Qingyan wrote a letter and asked Yu Jiamin to hand it over to Yongjing Yunshumo as quickly as possible. Fortunately, Yun Shumo's intelligence network did a good job, and it didn't take three days for Hua Qingyan to receive a reply from Yongjing.

There were only two words written on the letter - arrest.

Hua Qingyan brought the news to Lu Zhi and Chen Jing, the two had been prepared before, and when the regent came to the news, they were naturally relieved and bold to arrest people. When the two of them rushed into Gong Lin's house with the officials, Gong Lin was still drunk and dreaming about making another sum of money next time, and he wanted to fight out regardless of the officials who rushed in.

But how could it not be!

Chen Jing immediately threw the evidence in his hand on Gong Lin's face!

Gong Lin was arrested, and the Guozijian was in chaos, Chen Jing was not lazy at this time, and took the initiative to stand up and take over the Guozijian with the rest of Lord Li. Of course, those who were arrested together with Gong Lin were also those who bought the question. For a while, Lu Zhi took the officials back and forth between the townships and county governments, and arrested several officials who had already been sealed!

Those officials originally thought that they would be able to sit back and relax like this in their lives, but they didn't expect that they would fly into trouble, not to mention being planted with black gauze hats, and they were sentenced to never be admitted to the soldiers!
