After hearing Chen Lu's words, Zhang Yanling's first reaction was.

what the hell?

"Uncle, don't you want to say that the Lin family has resigned from their marriage and wants to cancel the engagement?" Zhang Yanling asked.

Chen Lu said in surprise: "Yanling, why do you think so? The marriage is being discussed... It has nothing to do with the marriage. It is Bingren of the Lin family. He committed a crime while serving in Shandong."

Zhang Yanling found it very surprised.

Lin Yuanfu said that he was the Shandong Provincial Administration Commissioner and the Minister of State, who was not involved in politics sooner or later, but he was just going to make trouble when he wanted to negotiate a granddaughter's engagement with him. Is it such a coincidence?

Chen Lu said anxiously: "It is about the drought relief in Shandong in the past few years and the dispatch of money and grain for the Yellow River to divert the route. I heard that there was a deficit. The local authorities have ordered people to be taken first. The official documents were sent to the capital yesterday, and the Censorate took the Ministry of Justice to take people. Your original... Lin Jingping, the old Taishan, was taken down from the Ministry of Justice last night..."

Zhang Yanling frowned and said, "Uncle, from the beginning, you discussed this marriage with me. Could it be to cheat me?"

The emperor asked me to investigate the river engineering, and you came to me to match the situation at this time. As a result, the Lin family, who wanted to marry me, immediately fell into the river engineering deficit, which was obviously aimed at me.

After Chen Lu thought about it for a while, he understood what Zhang Yanling meant.

He slapped his thigh and seemed anxious and said, "Yanling, who do you think I am? How could I deceive this matter in advance? This marriage originated from the grand plan at the beginning of the year. Bingren came to the capital to report his work and discussed it privately with me. Later, I mentioned this matter with him. This was the arrangement with you. How could he make things difficult for you or plot against you in advance?"

Chen Lu felt very wronged.

It seems that Lin Yuanfu knew that he was involved in the deficit case of Hegong, and deliberately wanted to lobby Chen Lu in the capital to win over Zhang Yanling through a marriage contract.

Zhang Yanling is still skeptical.

Even though Lin Yuanfu didn't make plans in advance, it would be too coincidental.

Last night, his "future father-in-law" Lin Tong was taken down from the Ministry of Justice. Today, he ran to the palace to tell his sister about his marriage to the Lin family without knowing it. It was ridiculous to think about it.

Chen Lu continued to explain: "It was Li Shishi, the left governor of Shandong. When he heard that the court was going to check the accounts of Hegong in the past few years, he immediately took a self-examination, and the result was found that the deficit was found. Bingren was in the position of left-ranking political participation in Shandong for some time, so he came out to take the blame first if something happened. It was not because he had any plans in advance..."

"Liang-Leng, I know that this happens. You and the Lin family will never be able to marry again, but for the sake of past relationships, have you tried to settle the case...?"

Zhang Yanling was very annoyed when he heard this and said, "Did my uncle mean to let me use my power for personal gain?"

"No, I have no intention of this, I just want to see... can you help..." Chen Lu looked embarrassed.

Zhang Yanling's eyebrows were very serious.

Zhu Youzhang clearly stated in the court that the cases involving the Hegong industry in the past few years cannot be expanded, and even in the case of criminal prisons, the omissions must be checked first, and when it is necessary to pursue the crime, it must be reduced or exempted as appropriate.

As a result, the order was just issued and the imperial court had not been issued. The local authorities thought the court was going to pursue the matter to the end, so Li Shishi, the left governor of Shandong, jumped out and became the first to take the lead and made a big spy on the local authorities.

This Li Shishi is not simple in the background.

Zhang Yanling remembered that this person was from Jiangxi. When he was an official, he was at least closer to the Qingliu in the court and did not do much. After resigning in the eighth year of Zhengde, he was appointed as the left prime minister by Ning Wang Zhu Chenhao in the 14th year of Zhengde. He was defeated and executed by Ning Wang Zhu Chenhao.

Such people are born to be speculative.

It confirms the saying that there are policies above and countermeasures below.

Zhang Yanling said coldly: "Your Majesty asked me to investigate the Hegong case, but it was stated that I was not allowed to interrogate the case. It was to avoid causing gossip. It was hateful that the local people were lying to disobey the emperor's orders. Your Majesty clearly ordered that the verdict should not be opened randomly. They dared to act against the wind! Let's go to the Censorate and talk to me about the case on the way."

Zhang Yanling felt that he could not ignore this case.

It's just a Shandong now.

Looking back, even local people follow suit, Daxing asked for guilt and caused chaos in the case, which made the court unstable. Zhang Yanling must be the first to take responsibility.

The emperor pointed out that things should be kept as low as possible, and that they should not investigate, but also disrupt the imperial court system and that everyone in the local area should not be in danger.

Everything is directed at him.

...

...

On the way, Zhang Yanling inquired in detail about the case.

Chen Lu didn't know much about this.

But I heard early in the morning that the Ministry of Justice took someone and imprisoned Lin Yuanfu's eldest son Lin Tong, and the local authorities reported it to him that it was not corrupt and abuse of power, which involved deficits. The roughly meant to detain Lin Yuanfu, Lin Tong and others, and let the family spend money to reap people.

"Yanling, actually... you can ignore this matter." After Chen Lu thought it through, he suddenly regretted coming to find Zhang Yanling.

Now it is clear that someone is targeting Zhang Yanling.

Even if Lin Yuanfu was not the initiator, others may have heard that the Lin family was having a marriage with Zhang Yanling and deliberately involved Lin Yuanfu in the case.

Zhang Yanling said: "It is useless to say more about the incident. My manager can still stand by and watch? But the marriage...huh!"

Regardless of whether Lin Yuanfu was released from guilt in the end, there will be no further information on the marriage between Zhang Yanling and the Lin family. However, Zhang Yanling was still a little sorry when he thought of the charming appearance of Lin's little girl.

Think about it again.

If the Lin family could really help get out of trouble, the Lin family would naturally send the Lin family’s daughter to express their gratitude, but at that time, they should no longer be married, for fear of becoming a concubine.

I, Zhang Yanling, is the kind of person who helps people with free money?

Thinking of this, Zhang Yanling suddenly felt a little better.

Even if you don’t do things for your future father-in-law’s family, you still do things for your future in-laws, and there is no difference.

...

...

Zhang Yanling did not go to the Ministry of Justice.

Although the Ministry of Justice took over the person, the Censorate was the real person in charge of the case.

Zhang Yanling took Jin Qi, Chen Lu and others to the Censorate's Office.

Just as the Ministry of Works had different precautions for him as if he was facing a great enemy, the Censorate was completely unprepared for his arrival, and there were even people who welcomed him into the door.

"I'm here to meet the Zuodu Censor Min Gui." Zhang Yanling called Min Gui's name directly.

The people from the Censorate were very polite. After inviting Zhang Yanling in, they really invited Min Gui out soon after.

Min Gui looked at Zhang Yanling, then looked at Chen Lu behind Zhang Yanling, frowned and said, "Bo Jianchang, what are you doing here?"

Zhang Yanling smiled and said, "Min Zongxian, people don't say secret words. I want the Censorate to give me a note and ask me to go to the Ministry of Justice to take out Lin Tong, the eldest son of the Shandong Provincial Administrator, Lin Yuanfu, to take out Lin Tong, the eldest son of the left-sponsor of the Shandong Provincial Administrator...."

Min Gui's face was confused. He might not know what Lin Tong had to do with Zhang Yanling, or he had not directly asked about the case.

Only after the people around him said a few words in his ear could he know the causes and consequences.

"Bo Jianchang, even if you want to accept this official and his relative in the case, you will go to the Ministry of Justice by yourself. What should you do when you come to the Xiantai Yamen?" Min Gui seemed inexplicably.

If you want someone, the Ministry of Justice will ask for someone who doesn't want someone to arrest him, and you will ask for someone who wants to ask for someone. You will also call me and really treat yourself as a dish.

Zhang Yanling said coldly: "Without the official letter from the Censorate, it is not right for me to go to the Ministry of Justice to ask for a name. Just as the Ministry of Justice did not dare to take the family members of the criminals without the Censorate's orders, I would not have to worry about the family members of the criminals. I would not have to make such a small matter into the court, right?"

Min Gui frowned when he heard this.

He naturally knew that Zhang Yanling was in the limelight recently.

He didn't want to have a bad relationship with Zhang Yanling for a trivial matter. If the matter really hit the court, the next person who was going to be troubled would become the Censorate.

Min Gui still wants to live a few quiet days.

"Let him open it!" Min Gui was too lazy to talk nonsense to Zhang Yanling anymore. There was no need for him to ask about this kind of matter.

However, with Min Gui's instructions, things are easy to accomplish.

...

...

The Censorate issued a note, which was actually a proof.

Zhang Yanling and Shen Lu took them to the Ministry of Justice and directly raised the person, without any trouble in the middle.

At the entrance of the Tianzhuo of the Ministry of Justice, Zhang Yanling met Lin Tong. In less than a day and one night, Lin Tong looked much haggard than before. He felt a little old all night after he was less than forty.

"Mr. Shen..."

Lin Tong saw Shen Lu, and Jue Chu Fengsheng looked grateful. He walked over and grabbed Shen Lu's hand.

Shen Lu said: "Jingping, thanks to Yanling's help, what case did Ling Zun involve? I am not clear now. With my understanding of Ling Zun, how could he be involved in the case so honest and honest?"

Lin Tong said with annoyance:

"My father also served in Shandong for four years. In the past few years, the drought in Shandong was severe. The court allocated money and grain to provide disaster relief. However, not many money and grain can be used to provide disaster relief, and they cannot be investigated in depth. In addition, the accounts involving the Yellow River River Works are more than those of my father. Now the left governor of Shandong is going to take responsibility for my father... It is said that my father and Shandong right-sponsor Xu Jie are responsible for the deficit of more than 36,000 taels of silver..."

"But how can our Lin family have so much money? My father has always been honest and honest. At most, there are a few acres of thin land in his hometown. Even if he sells the old houses in the capital and his hometown, he will not be able to pay the loss. So they took his father and went to the mansion yesterday... and even I took it... Wuwang disaster..."

Shen Lu said angrily: "I have heard that Li Ruoxu is arrogant and domineering, but I didn't expect that he could still frame the loyal and kind person like this! If something goes wrong, shouldn't he, the left governor, be led by him?"

Zhang Yanling said with a mocking look on his face: "The key is that no one wants anyone to come out to take over. Before the case has begun, let's check it yourself first. Is it possible?"

Shen Lu quickly looked at Zhang Yanling with a look of help and said, "Yanling, you are the one who ordered the investigation and handling of this case by Your Majesty. You should tell me quickly. As long as you say something, the Shandong local area should be calm immediately, right?"

"Yes, Jianchang, please help my father, for the sake of... acquaintance."

Lin Tong also came to ask for help from Zhang Yanling.

It seemed that I wanted to say that for the sake of marriage, but I knew that such a thing happened, the marriage would basically not progress further.

It is rare to know Zhang Yanling, the powerful man in the court because of this.

If Zhang Yanling didn't help, the Lin family would be really finished.

Zhang Yanling sighed and said, "If this case has not started, I can still ask. Now the local government has already conducted self-inspection and involves the verdict. If I intervene, I will be impeached because Your Majesty has ordered me not to be involved in the arrest and inquiries."

"Ah? Then...what should I do?" Lin Tong immediately became disorganized.

He is fine now, but his father is still detained in Shandong. If he can't make up for the loss, something will happen to the Lin family.

Zhang Yanling gave an order: "Come here!"

Jin Qi, who followed Zhang Yanling to the Censorate, hurried over and said, "Master, do you have any instructions?"

"Go to the Ministry of Revenue and transfer all the accounts sorted out in Shandong."

"Account?" Lin Tong and Shen Lu were not sure of it.
