Chapter 82: Reverse slap in the face
When Hu Hai returned from Xia Wujiao, he learned that his disciples had been arrested, and he was furious and shouted that he wanted to go to Chang'an Mansion and Tingwei Mansion to release him.
Huang Banban and Lin Ze hurriedly stopped him, and Hu Hai looked puzzled: "Don't you care about the two of them?"
Lin Ze replied indifferently: "Since they dare to make a move, they must be fully prepared, even if Gongzi goes to them, I'm afraid it won't help." And this matter is already very clear, it is definitely the secret hand of Fusu and them, and we must be more careful to deal with it. β
Hu Hai asked rhetorically, "Then what do you say I should do?"
Lin Ze thought for a moment and said: "Gongzi first sent a message to the Tingwei Mansion and Chang'an Mansion, asking them to release them, and I will deal with the rest, and keep them safe and sound." β
Hu Hai was stunned: "Didn't you say that they wouldn't let them go? Why do you want to pass on the text of this son? Isn't it redundant?"
Lin Ze explained: "Gongzi's transmission is to take a stand, first, to show his subordinates that he will not give up on them in order to reassure him, and second, to show the Tingwei Mansion and Chang'an Mansion that those people are indeed Gongzimen, and if they dare to harm at will, they must be prepared to bear the anger of Gongzi." β
Instead, Huang Banban asked: "If Liu Mengchan and they are really convicted of attempting to rebel, wouldn't they implicate the son?"
Lin Ze shook his head and said: "They don't dare to slander the son, Your Majesty is above, if they dare to frame the son for rebellion, I'm afraid they will really get tired of it." β
Hu Hai asked curiously: "Lin Ze, tell this son what method you want to use to save them?"
Lin Ze pretended to be mysterious and said: "The mountain people have their own clever plans, since they were framed and caught by Fusu, of course, it is most appropriate to let Fusu come forward and release them, please wait and see." β
Hu Hai's face was strange: "Do you want to beg Fusu? Don't look at me, I won't beg him." β
Lin Ze said solemnly: "What do you think, even if they all die in prison, it is not worth the son to beg Fu Su to release them." β
After speaking, Lin Ze called Liu Ji and gave him careful instructions, and waited for him to write it all down before letting him leave.
Hu Hai's face was full of strangeness: "That's it, will Fusu give in?"
Lin Ze smiled: "Please be patient and watch." β

Guozijian, Fusu finished the class and Zhou Qingchen and planned to leave for Qiyang Palace, out of the door, suddenly a group of civilians came to surround the carriage, the palace guards accompanying the guards were shocked, the sword was unsheathed, the bow and crossbow were wound, and they looked at this group of people with full vigilance.
I saw an old man at the head kneeling down directly and shouted: "Fusu Gongzi is benevolent and righteous, please help Gongzi save your life." β
The old and weak women and children in the back also knelt down and shouted: "Fusu Gongzi is benevolent and righteous, please help Gongzi." β
Pedestrians nearby, including Guozijian's protΓ©gΓ©, were attracted by this scene and gathered around to watch the development of the situation.
Fusu couldn't sit still in the carriage, got out of the carriage and said in front of the carriage: "Everyone, please get up, if you have any grievances, tell me slowly, my son will definitely make the decision for you." β
The old man at the head got up and said: "Old man, I am a person from the south city of Chang'an, the third son of the family works as a helper in a shop in Chang'an, earning some property to subsidize the family, but two days ago he was arrested by the Tingwei Mansion, saying that he was suspected of rebellion, the old man is pitiful, the old man's family lives in Chang'an, when my three brothers, the eldest brother and the second brother all died for the country on the battlefield, only the old man was young, and he stayed in accordance with Qin law to pass on the family and did not join the army, how could my son rebel, the son is benevolent and righteous, save the old man's son." β
Others also gossiped: "My son has always been cowardly, how can he rebel?" "My husband is loyal and patriotic, how can he be suspected of rebellion?"
As soon as passers-by heard this, they exchanged ears left and right, and began to discuss: How can a family of civilians who are ploughing and fighting war be suspected of rebellion? It must be those corrupt officials who use excuses to oppress the people, and they really deserve to die.
Fusu's face is not very good-looking, a few days ago, Nancheng arrested some people, but they were all lackeys under Huhai's men, they were really bold, and they dared to cry out in front of this son, and they were about to open their mouths to refuse.
But it was a scholar-like person on the side of the road who shouted: "The old man is asking for the right person now, and he will definitely not ignore the benevolence and righteousness of the prince of Su." β
Another peddler also nodded in approval: "The name of Fusu Gongzi's benevolence and righteousness is famous all over the world, how can you bear to lose your son when you are old." Suddenly thought of something, and shouted: "Fusu Gongzi, benevolence and righteousness are unparalleled." β
Other unknown onlookers also shouted: "Fusu Gongzi, benevolence and righteousness are unparalleled." β
Fusu's face turned blue, his fingers clenched and put it down, and finally returned to his usual and said to the old man: "Don't worry, my son-in-law will go to the Tingwei Mansion with you to ask for an explanation." β
The old man immediately thanked him, and in order to show that he was approachable, Fusu let the carriage follow, and he walked towards the Tingwei Mansion with the group of wrongdoers under the protection of several guards.
Passers-by also followed, while expressing their heartfelt appreciation: "Fusu Gongzi loves the people like a son, and he will ascend to the throne in the future, and the people will be blessed." β
Lin Ze watched them and his group walk over, and then said to Hu Hai: "Okay, no accident, they will be released today, and when they are released, Gongzi will arrange another place to place them, Chang'an City, they can't stand yet." β
Hu Hai was puzzled: "When did Fusu speak so well, and if someone shouts injustice, he will be the master of others, what is he trying to do?"
Lin Ze explained with a smile: "People are very strange creatures. If someone has been a good person all his life, if he accidentally does something bad, others will say: Look at him, he usually pretends to be presentable, and it is not his true nature to disclose, and everyone will greatly reduce his senses after that. β
"Someone has been a bad person all his life, and at the end of his life he has done a good deed, others will say: He is still very good, but he may have been misjudged before. The people's senses of him turned better. β
"Fusu has always had the name of benevolence and righteousness, which is his biggest strength, but also his weakness. We grasped this point, arranged for the old and weak women and children to cry out for grievances, and then mobilized the emotions of others, and after weighing the pros and cons, Fusu would naturally release them. After all, compared to his famous name of benevolence and righteousness, it didn't matter whether a few minions lived or died. That's why I once advised Gongzi that it is better not to learn Fusu's benevolence and righteousness, after all, you can't be free. β
Hu Hai thought thoughtfully: "No wonder Lin Ze has always been ruthless, so you thought so." β
Lin Ze......
Then the two came to Tingwei's mansion, just in time to see Liu Mengchan and they were released, and the old man was saluting Fusu and thanking him.
Hu Hai praised it: "Lin Ze, where did you find it, you acted very well." β
Lin Ze said faintly: "These people are the real relatives of the arrested people, not the trust I was looking for, I just explained to Liu Ji and told them that their son and husband were arrested, and only Fusu could save them." Only the scholar and the peddler I found it. β
Hu Hai gasped, Lin Ze was really right.
Lin Ze smiled and watched a group of people praising Fusu, and Fusu also nodded frequently, the monarch and the people are harmonious, what a good picture, keep it up.
