Chapter 1436 Confrontation with the old fox Lin Ruofu!

"Alas~ Li Chengru shook his head. Looking at Fan Xian who was caring about Lin Wan'er, he couldn't help but think of Ye Qingmei.

These two people really have completely different personalities!
Ye Qingmei is truly an extraordinary woman who was determined to change this cannibalistic world, but ultimately failed and chose to end her life.

But Fan Xian is quite different. He wants a wife and children, a warm bed, and a beautiful place to live a shameless life. This concept coincides with his own.

If it weren't for that old emperor Qing, who was secretly doing some tricks behind the scenes, Fan Xian might not have come to Kyoto and would have directly retired in Danzhou.

Lin Wan'er forced herself to stand up, but she looked so frail that if Fan Xian hadn't supported her, she would have fallen to the ground.

He begged, "Cousin, can you please let my second brother go?"

Li Chengru did not answer directly, but looked at Fan Xian: "Master Fan, what do you think I should do?"

"I..." Fan Xian was in a dilemma for a moment.

As a person with modern memory, I am naturally angry about this kind of disregard for human life, but there are some things I cannot say, because the murderer is Lin Wan'er's brother.

For Ye Qingmei's sake, Li Chengru didn't want to make things difficult for him, so he sat on the chair and served tea to see him off.

"Okay, you guys go back. Your Majesty will make the final decision on this matter tomorrow. I, a mere fourth-rank official, cannot make the decision."

Lin Wan'er's face was full of tears, and she looked pitiful: "Cousin..."

"Someone, show the guest away~" Li Chengru didn't want to listen to her nonsense anymore.

The people definitely cannot be released. The family of seven is only part of the reason. He is not so noble as to seek justice for people who have nothing to do with him.

What’s more important is that Li Chengru must get out of his current predicament and cannot let the old man lead him by the nose. The Lin family has just fallen into the trap.

Lin Wan'er had no choice. Although she had been raised in the palace since she was a child, compared with her other cousins, she had no friendship with this eldest cousin. When she could remember, he had already set up his own household, and they seldom met each other.

"Wan'er, don't worry, we'll think of a solution later!"

"Hmm~"

With Fan Xian's comfort, Lin Wan'er's pale face barely regained some color.

After the two of them left, Xiao Si, the eunuch chief of the mansion, walked in.

"Young Master, the Second Prince has sent someone to ask for an audience!"

"No~"

Li Chengze, this little wolf, really never misses any opportunity. It is estimated that the people from the prince's side will be here soon.

Sure enough, not long after, while they were having dinner, they heard someone coming to report that the prince had come to the mansion in person to discuss something.

Since he hadn't met the Second Prince's men, he naturally had to treat everyone equally. Li Chengru was not afraid of offending anyone at all.

He took the chopsticks and ate heartily, chewing the food in his mouth and said incoherently: "Go and report to the prince, and tell him that I have a severe cold and I am really afraid of infecting him~"

"Follow me~"

……

The next morning, Li Chengru got up sleepily, left the soft and fragrant bed, and was manipulated like a puppet by a group of maids.

I usually don't like going to court, and it's still pitch black outside. This time I really have no choice but to put on the cumbersome official robe.

"Yawn~" After going out and getting on the luxurious carriage, I took a nap and felt a little more energetic.

It was already dawn when we arrived at the palace. Originally, the Qing Kingdom had to attend court every day, but the rules were changed during the reign of Emperor Qing, since he was now in power and his words were law.

Now there is a small court meeting every seven days, and the participants are the ministers and vice ministers of various ministries, as well as important officials such as the Dali Temple and the Imperial Household Department. If there is anything, the important officials will be summoned to the imperial study. And every month, the big court meeting stipulates that all officials above the fifth rank in Beijing must come to participate. The ministers of this dynasty are very happy, at least they don’t have to get up early every day.

There were many carriages parked outside the palace gate, all of which were courtiers coming to attend court. No matter what rank one had in the palace, everyone had to walk to the palace, so the carriages naturally had to be left outside.

As the Prime Minister of Qing State, Lin Ruofu was the head of the civil service and held the first rank. He had served in office for many years and his students were spread across the court and the country. His influence was self-evident. It could be said that he was second only to the Prime Minister.

Even though he didn't take any action, some of his disciples had already colluded in private in order to curry his favor. This matter must be made clear, and then his career would be smooth sailing.

In the entire Qing Kingdom court, there were only four people who could sit. Chen Pingping had broken legs and there was nothing he could do, as he brought his own wheelchair.

As for Emperor Qing, there is no need to say anything. He has already replaced the dragon throne with a tea table. The only ones left are Lord Qin and Lord Lin, the heads of the civil and military affairs. These two people can sit on the chairs, so you can imagine how high their status is.

Li Chengru arrived relatively late, and he was not very popular among the officials. After all, every family has a few playboys, and it is not a pleasant feeling to be blackmailed.

"Your Highness~" But after all, that's his status, and some people who don't have enough official qualifications still have to bow and salute properly.

Then, as if avoiding the plague god, he quickly moved aside to avoid it, leaving a vacuum zone behind Li Chengru. He was quite happy with it, and looked around, wondering why Chen Pingping did not participate this time.

"Lord Qin!" He walked over and greeted the Privy Councilor Qin Ye with a smile.

He should be considered the number one military general. He suffered a lot during the reign of Emperor Qing. With such a strong monarch, his power was almost completely hollowed out. There were six deputy envoys in the Privy Council alone, and they had no real power to coordinate the overall situation.

Not to mention that the garrisons in various places are completely out of command, and all the generals are Emperor Qing's confidants. If it weren't for the Qin family's prestige in the army for many years, I'm afraid I wouldn't be worthy of the title of the number one military general.

Duke Chengguo Qin Ye, a pillar of the army who was dozing off, opened his eyes upon hearing this and smiled at the person in front of him.

"Your Highness~"

The two were just about to chat for a while, but the prince saw Li Chengru and hurried over.

"Brother, I was just about to look for you. We still need to deal with Lin Gong's matter..."

"Prime Minister Lin!" Li Chengru saw Lin Ruofu coming over and greeted him with a smile, interrupting the prince's words.

"Your Highness, I heard that you like fishing. It just so happens that I also have this hobby!" Lin Ruofu is also an old fox. He was talking and laughing, as if he didn't know that his son Lin Gong was thrown into jail.

"Let's go to the suburbs and relax when we have time. I'll tell you a secret. The fish in Jingbo Lake are very delicious. I once caught a ten-jin carp!"

It was obvious that there was something else behind the conversation, but Li Chengru seemed not to understand the subtext and just continued the conversation.

"Oh, Prime Minister Lin, if I had known earlier, I should have visited your house. I haven't been able to catch any fish in this period of time. It seems that I chose the wrong place!"

The back-and-forth exchange between the two made the prince anxious. He tried to interrupt several times but failed.

The second prince sat on the mountain and watched the fight between tigers. He stood beside a pillar and tried hard to hold back his laughter. His mind kept recalling the sad things that happened over the years, and he was afraid that he would laugh out loud.

"Brother, you..."

"His Majesty has arrived!" Following the eunuch Hou's hoarse voice, all the people who were chatting quickly stood up straight and were respectful. The prince could only swallow his words.

The Qing Kingdom prefers black, so the Emperor of Qing wears a black dragon robe with a dragon embroidered with gold thread, which makes him look majestic and domineering. When he walks over, his aura crushes everyone.

"Your Majesty!" Everyone bowed and saluted!

Compared to his usual unkempt appearance, Emperor Qing is more intimidating in his dragon robe.

"Everyone loves you!"
