Chapter 159: Cherish

"Let me think about it again. This case file will be shelved here for now. After thinking for a long time, Ye said.

Lin Yuxiu didn't say much.

Ye Tianhuai looked at him, Lin Yuxiu and her memory did not change much, but the person seemed to be silent.

She restrained her previous fierce momentum and asked him with a pleasant face: "Lin Qing, how do you feel after entering the court as an official?" ”

Lin Yuxiu looked up at Ye Qianhuai, his eyes were very clear, but for some reason, Ye Tianhuai always felt that he was a little alienated from himself.

"Back to Your Majesty, the affairs of the DPRK and China are cumbersome, and everything cannot be done overnight, which is very different from what Weichen imagined." Lin Yuxiu answered very realistically.

Ye Tianhuai asked again: "Is it okay in the Criminal Department?" Does anyone embarrass you? ”

Lin Yuxiu paused, shook his head and said, "No one is embarrassed." ”

"Really? I've heard that you're often in charge of some tricky things in the Criminal Department, and you're often busy late at night. ”

Lin Yuxiu smiled faintly and said: "The sage said that the heavens will descend on the people, and they must first work hard and work their muscles and bones. That's just the tempering that Weichen deserves. ”

Between his brows hung the pride peculiar to a young man.

Ye Qianhuai nodded with satisfaction.

He is still the Lin Yuxiu she knew.

"Get down to business. Du Zhengen's case is tried in heaven after heaven, how are you prepared? ”

It has been three months since Du Jing was dismissed and imprisoned in public by Ye Tianhuai in Xishi, and the case of Qin Baozhu being tortured to death and Du Jing's private exchange for death row prisoners finally ushered in the final trial.

After Ye Tianhuai appointed Lin Yuxiu as the squire of the Criminal Department to preside over the case, he was worried about his personal safety, so he asked Tao Yuan to send someone to secretly protect him.

It is precisely because of this that she knows how difficult Lin Yuxiu's road to trial has been in the past two months.

Although this case was confirmed by the emperor in full view, there is still a difference between whether the verdict is a death sentence for one person or a full house of beheadings.

Lin Yuxiu was stubbornly resisted by his opponent. It is not uncommon for suspects to be arraigned and not to speak, and for the coordinators to be closed.

In addition, his strategy for the temple examination also brought him many enemies that he had never met.

Not only Gu Shihai, but also some old people in the Criminal Department and his colleagues who were jealous of him were also secretly and quietly stumbling on him.

Fortunately, as Lin Yuxiu himself said, he did not complain and retreat in the slightest, he undertook these things one by one, and completed them without leakage.

Even Gu Shihai once scolded him, the newcomer, for being a hard bone.

"Back to Your Majesty, the confession and evidence have been perfected, Du Jing and Du Zhengen's culpability is clear, and there should be no variables in the court trial." Lin Yuxiu replied.

Ye Qian pondered for a while, and muttered: "This case has been delayed for a long time, and it can't be delayed any longer." You should focus on this case first, and you must handle it neatly and convince everyone in court. As for the case on the Kuraba side, you don't care about it for now, I have my own arrangements. ”

Ye Tianhuai wanted to pull Lin Yuxiu out of the grievances between Chen Yuansi and Gu Shihai, and Lin Yuxiu also understood, but he didn't appreciate it.

"Weichen thinks that if His Majesty wants to investigate the Kuraba case to the end, no one is more suitable than Weichen." Lin Yuxiu bowed his head.

"Why?" Ye Qianhuai asked.

"This case implicates high-ranking officials and involves social affairs, and in terms of specifications, only the Criminal Department and the Yushitai are qualified to hear it. Yushitai is still in the process of restructuring, and there are few soldiers and generals, so he has no energy to try such a big case. Most of the criminal department is Gu Gelao's manpower, and if Gu Gelao presides over the trial, it is inevitable that there will be a suspicion of a heavier sentence. And Weichen is a new official, there is no party affiliation, and he entered the office in the name of outspokenness and daring advice. Therefore, Wechen is the best candidate. Lin Yuxiu replied.

He had a point. If it was tried by him, whether it was Ye Qianhuai, the courtiers, or even the people, they would subconsciously feel that the trial result was fair.

But Ye Qianhuai didn't want to push him into the core area of the court so quickly.

She was afraid that the storm of power would corrode his innocent heart.

She understands Lin Yuxiu's ambitions and appreciates his talents. If there is still hope that the accumulated shortcomings of the Dajing Imperial Court will be cured, then Lin Yuxiu must be the knife that cuts the flesh and cuts the sores.

So she cherished the knife very much, for fear that he would break and destroy it in the place next to it.

The monarch and the minister were relatively silent for a long time, and Ye Qianhuai suddenly asked a question that she wanted to ask before but forgot to ask: "Do you know how your father Lin Motang died?" ”

Lin Yuxiu didn't expect the emperor to suddenly ask him such a question, and he was stunned for a moment before he replied: "My father was sentenced to death outside the palace gate by Emperor Xingrui. ”

"Do you know why he was sentenced to death?" Ye Qianhuai asked again.

Lin Yuxiu's face darkened, and he said: "When my father died, the minister was only five years old, and he didn't remember much, and he didn't know much about his original commission, but he only knew that he had offended Tianyan. ”

It seems that Lin Yuxiu doesn't know what Lin Motang said that angered Emperor Xingrui.

Ye Tianhuai sighed and said, "According to the records of the historians, your father was sentenced to death because he mentioned the old things of the king of the Northern Capital. Not only that, Emperor Xingrui was furious, and he also ordered that none of your descendants of the Lin family should enter the court as officials. ”

This time, Lin Yuxiu was shocked.

Ye Qianhuai noticed that when he heard the words "King of the Northern Capital", he had a trace of horror on his face.

Lin Yuxiu had also heard some rumors that the descendants of the Lin family could not enter the ranks, but when Chun Yu released the list, he thought that those old things in the past were just groundless rumors.

However, at this moment, after learning from the emperor that this was indeed the case, he couldn't help but question his identity as the champion and the servant of the criminal department.

Looking at his puzzled appearance, Ye Qian said, "I burned that page of historical materials. ”

At this time, Lin Yuxiu's face was even more shocked.

He looked at Ye Qianhuai, his face was full of disbelief, as if he was asking, "How can Your Majesty be so nonsense?" ”

Ye Tianhuai did not waver for a moment, her eyes were firm, and she had no regrets at all.

"I need you, the court needs you, and the society needs you, this is more important than any rules and filial piety. Only God knows this, you know it, I know, and you don't have to take it to heart. Ye Tianhuai comforted him, and said with a straight face, "As long as you do the two things you promised me - don't let me down, don't let the people of the world down, you are worthy of heaven and earth." ”

After speaking, she closed the file about the warehouse in her hand and said, "Lin Qing, I have deep hopes for you and cherish you, so you should also cherish yourself." ”

Lin Yuxiu's heart was hot, and he knelt down and said, "Weichen has the order." ”

In the brightly lit Qinxian Hall, he seemed to be able to hear his powerful heartbeat.
