In the Yamen of Jing'an Mansion, the person sitting in the main hall to judge the case was actually a eunuch.
Of course, this eunuch is not an ordinary eunuch, but the chief editor of the inner court, an imperial envoy who came under the emperor's order.
The name Lin Quan can already stop children from crying in Jing'an Prefecture and even in the entire Jiangxi County.
Mentioning this name, the gentry all changed their minds, just because this guy was so ruthless in investigating the case.
What kind of court laws and what kind of interrogation rules are nonsense here.
Just a sentence of "Imperial privilege, do things for convenience" can shut up everyone who talks.
At this moment, the people kneeling in front of Lin Zhong were the Liang family members, led by the head of the family, Liang Shiyu.
"You still haven't confessed your guilt?" Lin Quan fiddled with his official seal.
"Eunuch, if we are guilty or not, please investigate clearly!" Liang Shiyu was helpless and could only kowtow at this moment.
It can be seen that all the men in this family have injuries on their bodies, and they have obviously been tortured.
"It seems that the beating was still gentle..."
After saying this, Lin Quan picked up the order sign and was about to issue the order but stopped.
"Forget it...I won't play anymore!" Lin Quan took his hand back.
"Someone is coming..."
"exist!"
"Drag him down and send him to the military camp outside the city!"
"yes!"
Being sent to the military camp outside the city meant that his head was saved, but his home was confiscated and he was exiled.
In fact, the Liang family who participated in the "turmoil" was fortunate enough to be exterminated despite being accused.
On the contrary, some people did not participate in the turmoil, but ended up being exterminated.
"Father-in-law, it's unfair..."
"Please, father-in-law, please investigate..."
It's a pity that Lin Quan is not a Bodhisattva. He didn't even look at the Liang family and continued to play with the official seal in his hand.
The cries of the Liang family continued to echo in the government office, and everyone in the government office was tired of hearing such sounds.
"Sir, you can't go in..."
"Master Hu, Eunuch Lin said that outsiders are not allowed to enter without permission!"
Hu Lizhen walked in with long strides, her face livid.
Although Lin Quan had strict orders, the officers did not dare to forcibly stop Hu Lizhen, an upright official and capable minister.
"stop!"
Staring at the guards dragging the Liang family, Hu Lizhen scolded them, which really made them stop.
Hearing what happened outside, Lin Quan couldn't help but raise his head and met Hu Lizhen's eyes in front of him.
"It turns out to be Mr. Hu..."
Lin Quan smiled slightly. He seemed to have a warm attitude, but in fact he felt very uncomfortable.
In Hu Lizhen, he saw the shadow of Zhou Chengping, who made him have to avoid his edge even if he became the chief editor and supervisor.
"I wonder if Mr. Hu is here, do you have any advice?" Lin Quan sat on the chair, staring at Hu Lizhen.
"Eunuch Lin, the Liang family, the Zou family, and the Xu family are all innocent, and they made contributions to the court during the quelling the chaos. Why should they be confiscated and exiled?" Hu Lizhen asked loudly.
Lin Quan slowly picked his ears and said, "Master Hu, are you going to teach us how to do things?"
"The Emperor ordered our family to handle the case, and no one else is allowed to interfere. Could it be that Mr. Hu wants to resist the order?"
These two sentences alone stopped Hu Lizhen in his tracks.
But Hu Lizhen was not an ordinary person. He immediately replied: "Eunuch Lin, judging the case randomly like you will only destroy the prestige of the government and insult the holy name of the Holy Mother. Can you bear this crime?"
Speaking of this, Hu Lizhen only felt sad. In his opinion, people like Lin Quan can only do bad things.
"Master Hu, you don't have to use big words to pressure me..."
"Anyone who goes against the emperor will be severely punished by our family. We will not care about anything else!"
Lin Quan said fiercely: "The emperor is very merciful to these gentry, but they don't appreciate the emperor's kindness and dare to cause chaos and rebellion. They deserve to die!"
Seeing that Lin Quan refused to give in at all, Hu Lizhen was furious. In his opinion, Lin Quan's actions were all unreasonable.
"You kill innocent people indiscriminately and execute people at will. I will never let you do whatever you want!" Hu Lizhen scolded angrily.
"You will never let me do whatever you want? What do you dare to do? What can you do?" Lin Quan sneered.
Hu Lizhen turned around and shouted to the officers in the government office: "Listen carefully, Lin Quan's sentence is an act of chaos. To protect the emperor's holy name, you must not act rashly!"
"Adults, young ones..."
Seeing everyone's expressions of embarrassment, Hu Lizhen continued: "Except for the trouble, I will bear the consequences alone and it has nothing to do with you!"
"If you don't listen to my orders and follow Lin Quan, you will slander the holy name and you will die!"
Facing Lin Quan, who had the imperial mandate, Hu Lizhen had no other choice but to use Zhao Yanxun's holy name as a banner.
After being "threatened" by Hu Lizhen and the fact that the guards really obeyed him, everyone stopped at this moment.
Seeing this situation, Lin Quan was furious, and with a black face, he was openly slapping him in the face.
At this time, he was forced to use his " trump card ".
"Hu Lizhen, what do you think this is?"
Hu Lizhen faced the guards and heard Lin Quan's voice in the lobby behind him, so he had to turn around slowly.
Then he saw Lin Quan holding a gold medal in his hand. The gold medal was engraved with exquisite dragon patterns. The most important thing was the four words on the gold medal.
"As if I were here in person!"
Hu Lizhen murmured, feeling a little distracted for a moment.
Staring at Hu Lizhen, Lin Quan said with a cold tone: "This is the gold medal given by the emperor himself. Seeing this gold medal is like meeting the emperor in person. Why don't you kneel down?"
There was no other way, so Hu Lizhen had no choice but to kneel down facing Lin Quan and yelled: "Your Majesty, Hu Lizhen, please bow to your Majesty!"
Lin Quan's words, coupled with Hu Lizhen's actions at this time, the guards immediately understood the situation and knelt down.
"Hu Lizhen, the emperor has appointed me to deal with the Jiangxi gentry with full authority. Do you want to block the emperor's will?"
After all, Lin Quan was labeled as a rebel.
"I don't dare!" Hu Lizhen was still kneeling.
"If you don't dare, then why are you inciting the officers? Do you also want to rebel?" Lin Quan continued to ask.
Good guy, Lin Quan's accusation can be called murderous and heart-breaking.
"I would never dare to have such an idea!" Hu Lizhen argued.
Slowly putting the gold medal back, Lin Quan said coldly, "In that case, you should leave here and don't cause trouble!"
At this moment, Lin Quan was speaking on behalf of the emperor, and Hu Lizhen was completely unable to resist, so he could only withdraw.
Otherwise it is rebellion and disrespect.
"yes!"
Hu Lizhen stood up slowly and walked out of the hall. He stopped when he passed by the Liang family.
"You don't have to worry, I will do my best to save you, and I won't let you beasts go unjust!"
After saying these words, Hu Lizhen walked out of the Yamen. The Liang family felt moved and a little hope came into their despairing hearts.
"What are you doing standing still? If you don't hurry up and get to work, are you going to resist the order?" Yang Zhi, the eunuch guarding Jiangxi Province, scolded.
Of course, the officers did not dare to resist the order. At this moment, everyone was busy, and the two families were quickly taken out of the Yamen.
"Anyone named Hu who goes against me is simply desperate!" Lin Quan sneered.
It's really not a good thing to be resented by someone like him.
"Father, what Mr. Hu said does have some truth to it. Father, please be careful!" Yang Zhi reminded carefully.
After glaring at Yang Zhi, Lin Quan cursed: "You know nothing!"
Yang Zhi really didn't understand much because he was not in Lin Quan's position and had never gotten along with the emperor.
As an old man in the palace, Lin Quan knew his position clearly and understood that the emperor used him to be "ruthless".
If he, Lin Quan, also thinks forward and backward when doing things, and considers everything "properly", then he is of no value to the emperor.
There were many eunuchs in the palace and many people who wanted to replace Lin Quan, which made him dare not "relax" at all.
