Chapter 336 Dead Dog (Subscribe)

In the Anti-Traitor Bureau, Lin Rui sat in the main hall, looking at his three subordinates - Deputy Commander Xing Hai, Deputy Commander Tan Xiangsheng, and Deputy Commander Sun Shicheng.

Their second meeting was not a pleasant one.

The main reason was that the three of them were slightly dissatisfied with the fact that Lin Rui led four guards to search the manor villa outside the city of Luo Bin, the member of the Ministry of Revenue, and took all the credit.

They also knew that Lin Hao pulled them into the task force at this time because he wanted to push them to the front to do the dirty and tiring work, so it was inevitable that they would feel a little emotional.

Lin Rui could understand his subordinates' feelings, but he still assigned tasks one by one without hesitation.

Xing Hai was responsible for investigating Yulinzhi, Tan Xiangsheng was responsible for investigating Jingzhao Prefecture, and Sun Shicheng was responsible for leading the team to search the Ministry of Justice.

Xing Hai had a square head, big ears, and a thick beard. After hearing Lin Rui's task assignment, he was so angry that all the beard on his face trembled.

What was the Yulinzhi? It was one of the four imperial guards of Luojing. Not only did it number over 200,000 soldiers, but they were all fierce and aggressive warriors who would draw their swords at the slightest disagreement.

If he led the team to search for Yulinzhi, if he was not careful and caused a mutiny in the camp, the consequences would be unimaginable.

The problem is that a higher-ranking official can crush a person to death. Lin Hao brought the order from the Divine Messenger Prison and it was impossible for Xing Hai to resist or refuse.

Xing Hai knew that this commander had only been in office for two days, but he had already secured his position. If he really insisted on confronting him, he would definitely be the one who suffered.

Besides, Yu Linzhi has many connections with him. If Lin Hao lets someone else take charge and finds out something, it would not be good.

He could only try his best to ask for manpower and authority from Lin Hao, then clasped his fists and sneered: "I didn't expect that the lord is not only so decisive, but also so considerate of his subordinates."

After hearing this, Lin Rui laughed heartily and said with a smug look on his face, "As an official, I have always been upright, honest, and self-disciplined. I have always been loyal to my ruler, respectful to my superiors, trustworthy, lenient, and respectful in my dealings with others. If you spend more time with me, you will know that I am a very kind person."

He then looked at the three people below with a serious look in his eyes. "The Divine Envoy has given us one month to investigate the whole story of this treason case, so you must do your utmost and not slack off! The Bureau of Assassination of Traitors must apprehend all those involved in this case and bring them to justice in the shortest possible time."

Especially the mastermind of this case, and those who lurk in the court of our Great Song, betraying the country and being a traitor, are the top priority of your investigation. The Emperor intends to hunt them down and kill them all, so that the court will be clear of all corruption, even if it means cutting off flesh and cutting out heart!

Tan Xiangsheng, one of the three, frowned slightly. "A month? My Lord, judging from the information we have so far, this case involves a lot of people. I'm afraid it will take a while to figure it out. Isn't that a bit too tight?"

His attitude towards Lin Rui was quite friendly.

Although I do dirty and tiring work, I always compare things.

Compared with the Yulinzhi that Xing Hai was in charge of and the Ministry of Justice that Sun Shicheng was in charge of, the Jingzhao Prefecture that he was in charge of was much easier.

"The Emperor and the Divine Messenger said it would take a month, but I think they mean they can't wait even a day."

Lin Rui laughed out loud: "Now all the officials in the court are also watching our Imperial Court. You better not disappoint the emperor and don't bring shame to the reputation of the Traitor Assassination Bureau."

If these three people can't figure it out, it's a problem with their abilities, and has nothing to do with Lin Hao.

Lin Rui actually hoped that the case would be investigated for a longer period of time so that he could help his master to contain the Ministry of Justice and Jingzhao Prefecture.

"Alright, that's the situation. I'll have to trouble the three deputy commanders to take care of it from now on."

Lin Rui picked up the teacup and signaled that you could all leave.

This Tianji Star is really similar to the ancient times of their East Asian Republic, where they also have the custom of serving tea to guests.

Deputy Commander Sun Shicheng frowned and said, "Sir! You previously ordered the Ninth and Tenth Supervisors to investigate all the illegal activities of the King of Han in recent years. They recently came to me and asked me to plead their case. They have a close relationship with the King of Han, and according to the rules, they should avoid suspicion. Therefore, they would like to ask you to find someone more capable in the Anti-Traitor Bureau to handle this case."

Lin Rui drank his tea and sneered, "Sir Sun, as far as I know, several cases involving the Assassination Bureau and King Han in the past were handled by these two, right? How many are there? Mr. Li, please go to the cabinet to check the relevant files." Li Li next to him bowed and walked towards the door.

Deputy Commander Sun Shicheng smiled bitterly upon seeing this. "Master Li, there's no need to be so. I remember this very clearly. In the past two years, there have been a total of six cases involving the King of Han, and they were indeed the two of them who were in charge of handling them."

Lin Rui nodded and continued drinking his tea. "You can tell them to think it over carefully. Since they have such close ties with the King of Han, shouldn't these six cases also be reinvestigated? I want to see the results of the King of Han's case as soon as possible. Otherwise, not only will there be no place for them in this assassination case, but the court laws will also be set up for them!"

Upon hearing this, Deputy Commander Sun Shicheng was shocked, angry, and in a heavy mood.

Lin Hao actually said in front of him that he would deal with his two trusted aides, showing that he didn't even take him seriously.

But he can't do anything about it now.

The guards of the ninth and tenth prisons did not take the two tasks assigned by Lin Hao seriously at first, and planned to delay them as much as possible.

Lin Hao has just taken office and his foundation is not stable. If he makes a false accusation that there is no evidence, what can this guy do to them?
Although the other side has the third divine messenger as their backing, they also have the second divine messenger to rely on.

The problem is that Lin Hao has now established a firm foothold through two cases.

What's more troublesome is that His Royal Highness the King of Han seems to have offended Zhao Yang.

According to the information obtained by Sun Shicheng, just this afternoon, a total of 75 imperial censors submitted a memorial to the Ministry of Public Security, impeaching the King of Han for oppressing the people, bullying the market, illegally annexing, arbitrarily setting up private punishments, killing slaves, amassing wealth, being domineering and usurping power, and plotting to rebel against the gods, among other crimes.

In this way, the task previously assigned by Lin Hao turned into a dead end for the two guards.

If they investigate, they will offend the King of Han. If they don't investigate, the censors will definitely be in an uproar when they find out, and they will probably deal with them along with the King of Han.

That's why these two people came to him for help, hoping that Commander Lin would show mercy.

However, Lin Hao's response was so tough that Sun Shicheng felt quite embarrassed.

He understood that this lord had to take action against the King of Han. His two trusted aides had to either kill the King of Han or Lin Hao would kill them.

He wanted to say something else, but saw Lin Rui flicking the tea leaves with the cup lid: "I am very busy. If you have nothing else to do, Lord Sun, please go down first. The most important thing is to complete the task I have assigned to you."

Li Li immediately raised his hand with a forced smile and gestured for an invitation: "Master Sun, please!"

Sun Shicheng had no choice but to bow and retreat.

Lin Rui was indeed very busy and had no time to stop for a moment, so he had no time to argue with this guy.

After Sun Shicheng left, he took his Blood Knife Princess and went to the Divine Prison Division as fast as the wind.

This is because Yan Zhe, Luo Tianman and others have already escorted a group of prisoners to the Divine Prison.

Lin Rui wanted to know why these rebels had planned to assassinate him upon his arrival in the city. How had he offended them? Was it all because of Yuan Chengkai?
If so, what is the relationship between Yuan Chengkai and them?
Just as Lin Rui walked into the Divine Prison, he saw a group of jailers dragging Yuan Chengkai out of the cell like a dog.

Yuan Chengkai was furious: "What are you doing? How can this be disgraceful? Although I have been dismissed from office due to my crimes, I am still an official in the imperial court. How dare you do this?"

He then spotted Lin Rui walking down the corridor, his eyes bulging with anger, "Lin Twelve! How dare you humiliate Yuan like this? Do you want to be impeached by all the officials in the court?"

This person's behavior is a provocation to all scholars in the court and the country.

Lin Rui raised his eyebrows, thinking that this was a coincidence, and then he strode over.
