The reason why Hai Rui took the initiative to go to Lin Tailai and had a private conversation was because he knew that Lin Tailai could not be summoned and interrogated publicly.

But after talking to Lin Tailai, Hai Rui was really blocked, and even stayed awake all night.

After so many years in the company, Hai Rui has encountered many bad things and bad characters, compared to those people, Lin Tailai is far from being bad.

Only from Hai Qingtian's own point of view, in fact, those bad characters and things will not be blocked, because he only needs to adhere to his principles and be able to face them with a clear conscience.

Only this Lin Tailai let Hai Qingtian know what it means to block the heart.

Hai Qingtian could see that Lin Tailai had a problem, but he couldn't move Lin Tailai, he wanted to stick to his principles, but he couldn't insist, so he blocked his heart.

And it is not only Hai Qingtian who can see that Lin Tailai has a problem, such as Li Zongcheng, the son of the Marquis of Linhuai, the legendary party.

Now the whole city of Nanjing is saying that after Li Zongcheng smashed Lin Tailai's ship and beat Lin Tailai's people, he sent officials and troops to Suzhou to arrest Lin Tailai.

But of course Li Zongcheng knew in his heart that he definitely didn't do it to arrest Lin Tailai!

But everyone poured gold and destroyed the bones, and Li Zongcheng panicked! Who would have thought that there would be such serious consequences after the conflict with Lin Tailai!

Li Shizi grew up in a princely family, and he also knows a little about politics, sometimes the truth is not important, only someone needs to sacrifice for the overall situation!

Li Zongcheng didn't want to sacrifice, and he also knew that if he couldn't reverse public opinion at the moment, it would really be over.

So he gathered all the smart people he knew, and then asked how to turn public opinion.

Everyone discussed for half an hour, but they didn't have a clue, and they fell into silence.

At this time, a doorman suddenly said: "Little Marquis might as well take up the weapon of the law and defend his reputation!" ”

Li Zongcheng: "."

When did the dignified marquis prince and the son of the Nanjing garrison minister need to rely on the law to protect his rights and interests? Isn't that a stupid thing that ordinary people do?

The doorman continued: "You can go to the Criminal Department to accuse Lin Tailai of picking quarrels and provoking troubles and fabricating facts!" ”

Li Zongcheng subconsciously asked, "Is this useful?" Can you win? ”

Seeing that everyone present could not understand his own thoughts, the guest explained:

"First, it's not so important whether you can win or not, the key is to show an attitude!

Let others see that the little marquis dares to accuse Lin Tailai and dare to speak with the law!

This can show that the little marquis is not afraid of shadows, which is conducive to reversing public opinion!

Second, the Criminal Department is not friendly to Lin Tailai, and going to the Criminal Department to sue Lin Tailai should be beneficial to the little marquis.

Third, forcing or inducing Lin Tailai to deny directing and acting in the torture hall is lying in court.

In this way, if the evidence is found and reversed in the future, Lin Tailai can be directly convicted! ”

Li Zongcheng couldn't help but fall into deep thought, although it felt very embarrassing to take up a legal weapon, what this doorman said was not unreasonable.

The doorman persuaded: "Please think about it again, if you want to change public opinion, what other means can you use?" ”

Li Zongcheng finally made up his mind, gritted his teeth and said: "It seems that there is no other way, it is better to lose people than to lose their lives." Although it was very cheap, it was dry! ”

Another day passed, Lin Tailai was in the West Garden of Zhongshan Wangfu to meet with Zhao Zhigao, who was also a scholar and a supervisor of the country.

Lin Daguan asked, "What's so bad about being a governor?" ”

In the minds of Lin Daguan, Old Man Zhao is of course the most suitable candidate for the next governor of Jiangnan.

The main reason is that this person has a weak personality, is willing to listen to persuasion, and has enough qualifications.

And the ability should be enough, after all, this is the first assistant who fought the three major expeditions of Wanli in history, no matter how bad the ability is, how bad can it be?

Old Bachelor Zhao was a little entangled in his heart, and he still retained the old qualifications of Hanyuan Cichen.

Although the governor was an official directly under the imperial court and did not belong to the magistrate, he worked in the local area after all.

The word forest official moved to work in the place, didn't that fall from the heavenly immortals to the mortal dust?

Lin Daguan said bitterly: "The governor has the lowest grade of four grades, and the old bachelor goes to be the governor, which can directly solve the treatment of the four grades!"

After surviving this qualification, I will help you calm down the turmoil in the south of the Yangtze River, and it will not be difficult to get a third-grade waiter in the next step!

If a person like you is a minister, if you can go up to the third grade of the servant, what does it mean, I don't need to say more, right? ”

For officials born in Hanyuan Cichen, as long as they can be promoted to the third-grade squire, it means that they can covet the cabinet.

It's not difficult to draw a pie, but it's hard to get the route so clear.

It's hard to get an old bureaucrat fooled by a big pie, but if the road map is so clear, it's not human.

"If you can really be a governor, although it is very cheap, but you can do it!" Zhao Zhigao gritted his teeth and said: "Anyway, the old man is over the age of six, and he can't go home to retire!" ”

I don't doubt whether Lin Daguan has this ability, this may be another advantage of Old Man Zhao, as the so-called "knowing people and being good at their duties".

Just persuaded Zhao Zhigao, Lin Tailai was about to rest, and suddenly a few uninvited guests came.

A scribe of the Nanjing Criminal Department trembled and said: "The prince of Linhuai Hou went to the Criminal Department to complain to the Wuju person Lin Tailai, and the trial will be held tomorrow, and we will be ordered to come and summon me." ”

Lin Tailai asked in surprise: "Isn't it embarrassing that he actually went to a lawsuit?" ”

The scribe of the Nanjing Criminal Department took the initiative to say: "Lin Jieyuan can not go." ”

Lin Tailai replied: "Who said I won't go? I, Lin Tailai, have always respected the law, and of course I have to respond to the lawsuit! ”

The scribe from the Criminal Department was very surprised, Lin Tailai may have many advantages, but it never includes abiding by the law.

The people of the Xi family have been suing the Nanjing Criminal Department for so long, and they have never seen Ling Lin Tailai take the initiative to go to the Criminal Department to surrender to the prosecution.

But no matter what Lin Tailai thought, it had nothing to do with him, a scribe, and he went back to the Criminal Department after the conveyance.

The next day, Lin Tailai went to the Criminal Department and was led to the public court in the courtyard of West Road.

Standing in front of the hall, Lin Daguan smiled, and sure enough, it was Wang Shizhen who came to try the case.

According to the general pattern, the middle is the public hall of the main hall official book, the east road is the left waiter Lang public hall, and the west road is the right waiter Lang public hall.

This time, Lin Daguan was led to the West Road, indicating that Wang Shizhen, the right attendant of the Criminal Department, was to try the case.

This is not because Wang Shizhen subjectively wants to try this case, but because the rest of the criminal department is unwilling to take over, and acquiesces to hand over all cases related to Lin Tailai to Wang Shizhen.

Who asked Wang Shizhen to accept the Xi family's complaint on behalf of the Criminal Department, and provoked Lin Tailai to the Criminal Department?

After being promoted, Lin Tai came to see the person sitting behind the public case, and it was indeed the leader of the Wang Lao Alliance who had been absent for nearly a month!

After going to court, Lin Tailai ignored the plaintiff Li Zongcheng, and only happily took the initiative to talk to Wang Shizhen:

"I had the intention of visiting the Duke of Yizhou, but I was afraid that I would not have the opportunity to meet, so I just took this opportunity to come."

Li Zongcheng was a little angry, could it be that Lin Tailai responded to the lawsuit, not because he was sued by himself, but because he wanted to see Wang Shizhen?

How unsightly is this? How much does this look down on yourself?

But no matter what, as long as you, Lin Tailai, stand here today, he, Li Zongcheng, will win!

As the doorman said, the outcome of the lawsuit is not important, the important thing is to express an attitude of not being empty-hearted!

Wang Shizhen didn't want to see Lin Tailai again at all, and while scolding her mother in her heart, she patted the shocked wood and said: "The court trial is strictly forbidden to gossip!" ”

Then he said on official business: "The existing Linhuai Marquis Li's son sued Lin Tailai, a Wuju man in Suzhou, for picking quarrels and provoking trouble, fabricating facts, spreading rumors, and misleading the people!" ”

Li Zongcheng hurriedly spoke: "Before the interrogation, there is a question below, I want to ask the defendant to confirm!" ”

Then he said to Lin Tai: "May I ask if you were arrested outside Fengqiao that day, did you direct and act yourself?" ”

This is a pre-designed question, first to lure Lin Tai to make a perjury.

After thinking for a while, Lin Tailai nodded and said, "Yes!" ”

Li Zongcheng said to Wang Shizhen without thinking: "Record it first, Lin Tailai denied it."

But halfway through the words, Li Zongcheng suddenly realized that something was wrong!

He turned his head to look at Lin Tailai in astonishment, and he was puzzled.

How dare you Lin Tailai admit it? It's not like a pre-designed scenario!

The presiding judge, Wang Shizhen, was also shocked, and subconsciously asked, "Are you sure you want to say this?" What you say in court will be recorded! ”

Lin Tailai said indifferently: "Of course you are sure to say so, what does it matter?"

Anyway, Shao Sikou, you probably won't dare, and directly write my words into the verdict. ”

Wang Shizhen's face darkened, at least for now, he really didn't dare to directly write "self-directed and self-acting" into the verdict.

If this is going to be spread, others will not believe it, and will only think that it is a trick!

After being stunned for a while, Li Zongcheng finally came back to his senses, and then he was a little excited, you Lin Tailai actually admitted to the fake!

He hurriedly shouted at Wang Shizhen: "Lin Tailai admits that he directed and acted by himself, and the crime is conclusive!"

Please Shao Si Kou to avenge his grievances in the next, and believe that the law will give justice in the next one! ”

But Wang Shizhen was really bitten by a snake for Lin Tailai, and he was afraid of the well rope for ten years.

Although he felt that Lin Tailai behaved very strangely, he would not do it easily, and just looked at Lin Tailai quietly.

Lin Tailai said disdainfully: "What nonsense! He is just a good law-abiding citizen, what crime can he confess? ”

Then he said to Wang Shizhen: "First of all, in this matter, I did not break the law or commit a crime.

Even if you really find a few people to pretend to arrest you, legally speaking, it is not a crime! ”

Wang Shizhen has too many flowers and snow, and her business in the name of the criminal is relatively unfamiliar, and she didn't sort out Lin Tailai's logic for a while.

Lin Tailai had to explain in simple terms: For example, it's like acting, is it illegal to stage a play?

Acting is not a crime without directly harming the interests of others.

For another example, if Li Zongcheng finds a few people to pretend to arrest him one day, it will not be illegal. ”

Li Zongcheng was so angry that he refuted: "But your acting has caused serious consequences and caused a storm among the people!" ”

I picked up the legal weapon myself, how can it be someone else's!

Lin Tailai didn't look at Li Zongcheng, and only said to Wang Shizhen:

"As for why the people reacted so much, that's not for me to decide!

I can control myself, but can I control what the people think? ”

Wang Shizhen couldn't say anything, but she felt that what Lin Tai said seemed to make sense!

Li Zongcheng said angrily: "Sophistry, it's all sophistry!" If you hadn't deliberately misled, how could others think that I had done it? ”

Lin Tailai replied: "I, Lin Tailai, have never publicly named or sued anyone, and I can't even talk about false accusations!"

As for what others think, it's none of my business!

Li Shizi might as well reflect on himself and find more reasons from himself, why do others think that you are behind the scenes? ”

Li Zongcheng was speechless, he was already so embarrassed that he picked up a legal weapon, why couldn't he cut Lin Tailai!

Wang Shizhen, who was sitting behind the public case, was silent for a moment, feeling that after Lin Tailai's malicious confession, the case could no longer be tried.

And there is no way to judge like this, even if what Lin Tai said is true, there is no way to judge like this!

The foolish people outside will only think that Lin Xie Yuan has been beaten into a trick, and then they are willing to admit that they are cheating and acting!

That's why Hai Jui was reluctant to interrogate Lin Tailai.

Lin Tailai is a very considerate person, especially a very considerate person for the presiding judge.

Seeing that Wang Shizhen was in a precarious situation, Lin Tailai took the initiative to say: "Shao Sikou, you don't want to ruin your reputation because you wrote the wrong judgment, right?" ”

Wang Shizhen said vigilantly: "What do you mean by this? ”

Lin Daguan played a dumb riddle and said: "As a native of Suzhou, you don't want to be poked in the back after returning to your hometown, right?" ”

Wang Shizhen's hometown of Taicang Prefecture also belongs to Suzhou Prefecture, and now Lin Tailai's reputation is so loud, and the people of Taicang Prefecture are also actively supporting Lin Tailai with tax resistance.

If he receives the complaint from the Xi family, and after today's trial of Lin Tailai is maliciously spread, the old family must not scold themselves to death? What kind of face do you have to go back to your hometown?

After thinking of this, Wang Shizhen felt that she was threatened, and she was furious, and said, "Lin Tailai, you are so bold!" ”

Lin Tailai sighed: "With such a desperate hint, Shao Sikou didn't understand the deep meaning.

I think Shao Sikou, you are really not suitable to be an official, so let's go and be the leader of the literary world. ”

Then Lin Tailai shouted at Li Zongcheng: "There are rumors in the market that you sent someone to arrest me Lin Tailai!" Isn't it? ”

Li Zongcheng didn't think about it and said: "There is no such thing!" ”

Lin Tailai continued to ask aggressively: "Then how do you prove that you didn't do this?" ”

Li Zongcheng said angrily: "What kind of thing are you, and you are worthy of being questioned in court?" ”

Before the words fell, Wang Shizhen suddenly heard the public case again, and said:

"Listen up, do you have any evidence? How do you prove that you didn't send someone to arrest Lin Tailai? ”

Wang Shizhen must be a smart person, but his mind is not focused on his own work.

Hearing Lin Tailai's questioning of Li Zongcheng just now, he suddenly had an epiphany about the essence of the trial.

It's just that Wang Shizhen is a little lazy, and almost repeats Lin Tailai's question.

Li Zongcheng: "."

Why should you prove that you haven't done something you haven't done? Is there any heavenly reason in this court?

What a legal weapon, it's bullshit in the face of politics!

Lin Tailai clearly admitted that he directed and acted by himself, but you all turned a blind eye!

will only allow yourself to prove that you have not sent someone to do it, something that does not exist at all, what can you prove?

Wang Shizhen began to write the verdict: the plaintiff Li could not prove that he did not send someone to arrest the defendant Lin.
