And when he finished reading the contents of the secret memorial, Minister Lin understood that Li Chengyuan wanted to use this excuse to close the case!
Lin Xiang no longer cares about this.
Anyway, he has promised not to pursue Fan Xian anymore, so it doesn't matter how the case is closed.
What Minister Lin wants now is to close the case as soon as possible and let Lin Gong rest in peace.
.....
"Does Minister Lin find this credible?"
After reading the memorial, Emperor Qing saw that Prime Minister Lin had no opinion, so he couldn't help but ask.
Hearing this, Lin Ruofu said with a neutral expression, "Your Majesty, this is only Fan Xian's one-sided account. I want to hear Dean Chen's findings!"
Upon seeing this, Emperor Qing said directly, "Then let them in!"
After a while, Chen Pingping and Li Chengyuan came together.
"Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you!"
"Chen Pingping!" Emperor Qing didn't look at Li Chengyuan, but looked directly at Chen Pingping and asked.
"I'm here!" Chen Pingping responded, turning his wheelchair.
Emperor Qing asked, "In the case of Lin Gong's murder, have you found out who the murderer is?"
"Your Majesty, I have already investigated the case thoroughly!" Chen Pingping said with a bow.
"Oh, who is the murderer?" asked Emperor Qing.
Chen Pingping replied: "Your Majesty, it is Dongyi City, Si Gu Jian!"
"Grandmaster?" Even though he already knew the outcome, Prime Minister Lin couldn't help but question, "Is Dean Chen saying that a dignified Grandmaster came all the way to Qing Country just to kill my son, Lin Gong?"
Chen Pingping nodded and said, "Exactly!"
"Ha! Your Majesty, this is so ridiculous!" Prime Minister Lin laughed angrily.
Emperor Qing asked sullenly, "Chen Pingping, do you have any evidence?"
"Yes!" Chen Pingping replied, "The Inspection Office has apprehended a female assassin. According to her confession, she was one of the participants in the assassination attempt on Fan Xian that night!
The reason they assassinated Fan Xian that night was for revenge!
The Niulan Street assassination was masterminded by the Second Young Master and Si Lili. As a result, Fan Xian did not die, but two of Si Gu Jian's disciples died!
When Si Gu Jian learned about this, he was very angry.
So he asked his disciples to invite the Second Young Master out. They agreed that while Fan Xian was away from Beijing, they would kill Fan Xian together to avenge his dead disciples!
It’s a pity that the second young master was fooled.
Si Gu Jian’s real purpose was actually to kill him!
In this way, not only can he avenge the murder of his disciples, but he can also put the blame on Fan Xian, killing two birds with one stone!
Your Majesty, in fact, from Niulan Street to the assassination in the wilderness, the whole thing was a conspiracy of Si Gu Jian and Northern Qi.
Their ultimate goal is to cause civil unrest in the Qing Kingdom, so that Northern Qi can seize the opportunity to launch a national war!
Your Majesty, the Northern Qi Kingdom is so vicious and evil that it is truly shameful to the world!
I implore Your Majesty to issue an order to dispatch troops and choose a date to attack Northern Qi!"
After Chen Pingping finished speaking, Lin Xiang finally understood!
That's it!
He had been thinking about how Chen Pingping would exonerate Fan Xian.
Minister Lin thought of many possibilities, but he never expected that Chen Pingping would actually drag Si Gu Jian into it and even start a national war because of it!
This is exactly what Your Majesty wants!
Your Majesty has always wanted to start a war, but has always been troubled by the lack of an excuse.
I didn't expect that Chen Pingping would use this case to give His Majesty a perfect excuse.
In this way, the case can be settled, Fan Xian is not guilty, and an excuse for war is provided. It is simply killing three birds with one stone.
Only the truth about Lin Gong's death was distorted...
Thinking of this, Lin Xiang felt a chill in his heart.
He was now somewhat glad that Li Chengyuan had contacted him in advance.
If Li Chengyuan had not found him in advance, Chen Pingping would still have closed the case in this way, and in that case, Lin Gong would have died in vain.
And now, Li Chengyuan has exchanged Lin Gong's life for Dabao's intelligence, so the Lin family will at least not decline completely.
......
Sure enough, on the other side, Emperor Qing was extremely surprised after hearing Chen Pingping's "closing statement". He did not expect Chen Pingping to be so powerful.
But Emperor Qing didn't show his surprise. Instead, he asked in shock, "What did you say? Raise an army?"
Chen Pingping immediately nodded and said, "Yes, raise an army!"
"Raising an army..." Emperor Qing pondered for a moment, then pretended to be reserved and said, "Raising an army is a matter of great importance to the country, and we must not act rashly!"
After saying this, Emperor Qing looked at Prime Minister Lin and asked, "Prime Minister Lin, what do you think?"
Lin Ruofu stood up, plopped down on his knees, and said loudly: "Your Majesty, I beg you to seek justice for my son!"
Upon seeing this, Emperor Qing hurriedly said, "Minister Lin is the head of all officials. There is no need for such grand ceremony!"
Lin Ruofu knelt on the ground and did not stand up.
Emperor Qing paused and said, "Since the Inspection Office has all the evidence, and we also have Fan Xian's personal testimony, it's enough to prove that Lin Gong's murder had nothing to do with Fan Xian, and was done by Bei Qi and Si Gu Jian. Does Lin Xiang agree with this conclusion?"
Lin Ruofu knelt upright, staring at Emperor Qing with red eyes. After struggling for a long time, he gritted his teeth and said, "Your Majesty, I believe in you!"
Emperor Qing nodded and sighed, "Since that's the case, then issue an edict immediately and demand that Dongyi City hand over the murderer! As for Northern Qi... I never want bloodshed, but they've gone too far and are pressing us step by step. Let's fight this war...!"
I will mobilize the whole country to punish those who are unjust. Is Prime Minister Lin satisfied?"
Minister Lin felt sad, but now that things had come to this, he really had nothing to say.
"I understand!"
Emperor Qing sat up and said loudly, "Good! Now that you understand, the truth is clear! Chen Pingping!"
"I'm here!" Chen Pingping bowed again in response.
"Fan Xian has made great contributions to the investigation, but he was also wrongly accused. He deserves some compensation. Let's put it this way: you release Fan Xian immediately, and then issue an imperial decree appointing him as Assistant Law Officer of the Imperial Rites Temple, to take up the position immediately!"
"I obey your order!" Chen Pingping responded with a bow.
Upon hearing this, Minister Lin was shocked again.
He understood that Emperor Qing was saying this to him.
Emperor Qing knew that he still suspected Fan Xian, and was afraid that he would retaliate against Fan Xian, so he gave Fan Xian an official position in front of him, just to tell him that Fan Xian was the person he wanted to train, and he could not touch him!
This is a warning and a threat!
Lin Xiang felt a chill in his heart!
At this moment, he was thankful again. If it weren't for Li Chengyuan, his son Lin Gong would not only have died in vain, but would have become a pawn used by others. In that case, he would have had no way to redress his grievances!
Looking up and looking at Emperor Qing, Prime Minister Lin felt for the first time that Emperor Qing's throne was truly a tragedy for the Kingdom of Qing!
What if the one who sat on the throne now was Lee Seung-yeon?
As soon as this thought came out, Lin Xiang's mind immediately grew wildly, and he couldn't suppress it to 1.3 no matter what!
......
The matter was resolved, and Emperor Qing let Prime Minister Lin leave.
As soon as Prime Minister Lin left, Emperor Qing pointed the finger at Li Chengyuan.
"Li Chengyuan, you are so brave!"
Li Chengyuan immediately lowered his head and said, "I know I was wrong!"
"Oh! You know you're wrong?" Emperor Qing said angrily, "You really are guilty of knowing the wrong and breaking the law. You're lawless!"
"Your Majesty, please forgive me. I really didn't do it on purpose. I was just impulsive!" Li Chengyuan admitted his mistake decisively, then reached into his sleeve and took out a monocular telescope and handed it to Eunuch Hou.
Eunuch Hou immediately understood, took the telescope and presented it to Emperor Qing.
Emperor Qing was confused and took the telescope, asking, "What is this?"
"Your Majesty!" Li Chengyuan said, "This was given to me by Princess Lin Wan'er. Wan'er said she stumbled upon this treasure. If you hold it in front of you, you can clearly see things 800 meters away. It's a treasure for scouting!"
If this thing is used in the military, it will become a killer weapon.
Wan'er doesn't understand military affairs, but she knows that this is a treasure.
He gave this thing to his son and begged him to take her secretly into the Inspection Institute to see Fan Xian without telling anyone else.
I felt that this item was very important to the Kingdom of Qing, and I couldn't rob Wan'er of her treasure, so I agreed to it reluctantly.
But I know nothing about the Inspection Office and have no way to sneak her in, so I can only force my way in!
I know that I have committed a serious crime, so after leaving the Censorate, I immediately came to Your Majesty to apologize.
No matter how Your Majesty punishes me, I will have no complaints and will accept it calmly!
I beg Your Majesty to punish me!"
Chen Pingping, who was standing aside, had a wonderful expression on his face after hearing what Li Chengyuan said!
At this moment, Chen Pingping really wanted to sigh.
Li Chengyuan, what a talent!
Chapter 117: Emperor Qing’s Indulgence and Temptation! The Sense of Security Given by Chen Pingping!
Li Chengyuan broke into the Inspection Office. This matter was neither big nor small.
It mainly depends on how Emperor Qing decides.
What’s more important is to see how Li Chengyuan coaxes Emperor Qing.
Chen Pingping thought of many ways, but he felt that Li Chengyuan would definitely be reprimanded by Emperor Qing.
