I am a corrupt official, but they say I am a loyal minister!

"Long live my emperor!"

In the Jinluan Palace, all the officials clasped their hands and said in unison.

In the dynasties of this world, it is not recommended to kneel down in worship. Everyone just needs to stand and clasp their hands to show respect.

"My dear friends, no courtesy!"The empress said majestically

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"Everyone raised their heads in unison again.

The empress looked around the ministers, and finally saw Lin Beifan behind the officials, and couldn't help but smile.

If before, she just liked Lin Beifan.

Then now, that is It's quite pleasing to the eye.

With a pleasing look in his eyes, he said pleasantly:"Lin Aiqing, yesterday I ordered you to ransack your home. What was the result? Lin

Beifan stood up and said calmly:"To answer your Majesty's question, yesterday I went to Zuo Xiangquan's home to inspect his assets!" After a careful search by my subordinates, a total of 200,000 taels of stolen money was found, which is a huge amount. It has now been deposited into the national treasury. Your Majesty, please take a closer look!"

At this time, more than a dozen ministers looked over in unison.

They opened their mouths and looked very shocked.

200,000 taels, does that count as money?

You have the nerve to report it?

Besides, compared with your corruption, it pales in comparison. At this time, the empress slapped the dragon chair and said angrily:"This is unreasonable! This left prime minister is so useless. He has been an official for more than 20 years and actually embezzled 200,000 taels of stolen silver. How much money is this? Killing him 100 times will not satisfy the anger of the people!"

"What your Majesty said is absolutely true!" Lin Beifan said without changing his expression.

Everyone was shocked again!

Damn it!

You are more greedy than the left prime minister, and you can still say this without changing your expression!

Do you still want to be shameless?

The empress said loudly:"Here comes someone Ah, just drag Zuo Xiangquan out and behead him! All other persons involved in the case shall be severely punished!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"A Jinyi guard took the order and walked out of the Jinluan Palace.

After killing a person, the empress was very happy:"In addition, Aiqing has done some merit in confiscating the house, and I have decided to give you a half-level promotion! You originally went from the sixth grade, but now you have become the sixth grade! As for the official position, I decided……"

This time, everyone can no longer remain calm!

I just won the top prize yesterday and my official position has not yet been decided. I just bought a house and got a half-level promotion!

Isn't this too fast?

I have never seen anyone get promoted by confiscating their property!

The point is, he has been so greedy, why would you give him a promotion?

Is there any royal method?

Is there any heavenly principle?

The ministers present were all unbalanced!

"Your Majesty, I have something to report!"An old minister stood up.

"What's up?"The empress was a little dissatisfied.

She was about to reward Lin Beifan and win over him, but she was interrupted! But when she saw the old minister, her anger disappeared.

Because the other person was an admonisher named Yao Zheng. He has been an official for more than 30 years.

Although his rank is not high, only rank 7, he has great power. He is usually responsible for admonishing the emperor, inspecting officials, and impeaching officials who violate laws and disciplines.

"Yao Aiqing, what do you want to say? asked the empress

"Your Majesty……"Yao Zheng glanced at Lin Beifan with red eyes and said:"The old minister wants to impeach Lin Beifan, the new number one scholar! Yesterday, Lin Beifan, the new number one scholar, went to ransack his home with the order! But during the process of ransacking the house, he embezzled 2 million worth of gold and silver jewelry! He just went to court The number one scholar has already spent such a huge sum of money, how can he pay it back in the future? Your Majesty, please investigate carefully!"

The officials present couldn't help but smile, and they all watched the good show.

The empress sitting on the dragon chair looked calm:"Lin Aiqing, is this possible?"

There was a trace of expectation in her heart to see how Lin Beifan would survive this disaster!

If that doesn't work, she will try to save him again!

Lin Beifan was very calm:"Your Majesty, Lord Yao is simply... a bunch of nonsense!"

"you!!!"Yao Zheng's eyes were blazing with fire.

Lin Beifan held his head high and his chest high, and his voice was loud:"Wei Chen has been reading the books of Confucius and Mencius since he was a child, and he has been practicing the rites of saints! Live your life walking upright and sitting upright, and you will be worthy of heaven and earth, and even more worthy of your heart! How could I do something like embezzling 2 million, which is outrageous to both humans and gods?"

The empress sitting on the dragon throne almost laughed out loud.

This guy is really telling lies with his eyes open. I almost believe what he said! He is obviously greedy, and he still pretends to be innocent!

Shameless!

How shameless!

At this time, Lin Beifan pointed his gun:"Master Yao, what are your intentions in spitting blood? Did he take advantage of others and deliberately frame himself? Yao

Zheng was so angry that he was about to vomit blood:"As an upright official with the duty of supervising all officials, how could I accept benefits from others and frame Zhongliang?""

"This is not necessarily the case! Mr. Zuo from before seemed to be upright and breezy. Wasn't he just greedy for 200,000 taels? As the saying goes, it’s hard to know a person’s face but not their heart, but it’s hard to paint a person’s skin! Lin Beifan made a lukewarm sarcastic comment.

Yao Zheng was so angry that he was shaking all over:"Left Prime Minister Quan is a corrupt official. How can you compare me to him?""

"Then why do you say I'm greedy? Lin Beifan asked

"Of course I have evidence! Yao Zheng cupped his hands and said,"Your Majesty, you can send someone to interrogate the officials who checked together yesterday to see if it is true!" As for the physical evidence... I heard yesterday that Lin Beifan had someone take the stolen money back. Many people saw it. We sent people to his house to find out!"

At this time, many ministers shook their heads, Lin Beifan was finished.

Sure enough, he was still too young and too greedy, and his actions were not concealed enough, and someone took advantage of him!

"Lin Aiqing, what else do you have to say?"The empress said calmly, making it impossible to see any emotion.

"To answer your Majesty's question, this official is innocent! If you must check, then check it out! If you are an upright official and sit up straight, you will never do something so illegal and indisciplined!" Lin Beifan said righteously.

The Empress wanted to laugh again!

This guy really... lies so easily!

He doesn't know what it means to be shy at all, and he is thicker-skinned than the old fox on the field!

The Empress said loudly:"Okay! We have nothing to do, let's go to Lin Aiqing's house to see if he is greedy! If not, I will restore his innocence! If you are greedy, go to jail!"

"Your Majesty is wise!"Everyone said in unison.
