Mrs. Lin's eyes swept across the boxes in the courtyard, then she looked away and slowly knelt down: "This is for your Majesty's permission. I know this."
The Prime Minister immediately looked at Hua Yanxi, and that look seemed to say that his wife was definitely not the kind of person she said she was, and she had to abide by the agreement to intercede for Mrs. Lin.
Hua Yanxi sighed in her heart, she didn't expect that the prime minister was still an idiot.
He was wholeheartedly planning for Mrs. Lin, but why didn't he see clearly that Mrs. Lin's expression was calm and fearless when she was invited to the front yard, and from the beginning to the end, her eyes never fell on him for a moment.
If you really have him in your heart, you should be worried and concerned when you see your husband kneeling on the ground with a sword pointed at him.
"Your Majesty, these things are all mistakes made by humble ministers in a moment of confusion. They have nothing to do with the family members in the mansion. They don't know anything. Please, Your Majesty..."
The Prime Minister was about to ask the Emperor to fulfill his promise and let Lin go, but Lin suddenly interrupted him.
"Although I know this, I am still a woman and cannot influence the Prime Minister's thoughts. However, I have something in my hands."
As she spoke, Mrs. Lin signaled, and the nanny beside her immediately handed over an account book from her arms.
Eunuch Wan reached out to take it and presented it to the emperor.
The emperor took a cursory glance and looked at the prime minister with a complicated look in his eyes: "What is recorded here is the account book of the prime minister's bribes collected in the past ten years."
Looking at the age and time span of the writing and ink above, you can tell that this account book contains records for many years.
When the Prime Minister heard this, his eyes trembled, he looked at Mrs. Lin, and said with a bitter smile: "I didn't expect you to hate me so much."
Mrs. Lin's back stiffened slightly, and she pursed her lips and said, "Since I married into the prime minister's house, I have not taken care of anything in the house. I have been living in the backyard. I would like to ask the emperor to show mercy and give him a lenient sentence for the sake of the evidence he presented.
My wife is allowed to become a monk and practice spiritual practice."
The emperor looked at the prime minister: "What do you say?"
The Prime Minister swallowed the pain in his heart and said, "Please give me your permission."
"I can comply with your request, but I want the truth about what happened back then. Who is this Lin family?"
"She is just a woman from an ordinary family." The prime minister still insisted.
"Ms. Lin, what do you say? Your son Lu Yong said personally that he is related to the Queen Mother. Is this what you told me?"
Mrs. Lin shook her head: "I don't know, my wife, that although Yong'er was born by my wife, he has been taught by the Prime Minister since he was a child. He has always been arrogant and domineering, and his roots have long been broken. It is not surprising that he would say such rebellious words.
"
The prime minister repeatedly bit him to death, and the emperor had no choice but to finally order that everyone in the prime minister's house be imprisoned until all the evidence of the crime was collected before he was sentenced and convicted.
After being delayed for most of the night, the emperor was already exhausted, so he immediately drove back to the palace, and everyone dispersed.
In a short period of time, the prime minister's residence was raided, and the matter even alerted the emperor. The matter spread like wildfire, and by the next day everyone knew about it.
The home of a dignified prime minister was ransacked on the day of his birthday banquet. I heard that dozens of boxes were taken out of the house, and they were all filled with gold and silver that had been corrupted for many years. It was shocking.
Ordinary people naturally applauded repeatedly. For corrupt officials like this, it would be best if they copied one by one.
They all have such a difficult life, but these high-ranking officials have so much money hidden away, it's damning.
As for those officials, they all felt deeply sad and felt a sense of melancholy, fearing that the imperial guards would open the door and rush in while they were sitting at home that day.
