Rebirth of the Demon Queen

Chapter 140 Crime

Cao Lang immediately stopped and turned to Shi Lang Li and said, "What are you looking at? Let's talk to our family. If there are any clues, it's not easy for our family to take your credit."

"Lin Yuanzhi accepted huge bribes, and the evidence is conclusive."

“The evidence is conclusive?”

A mocking smile flashed across Cao Lang's face, and pointed to the cracked red painted pillar beside him and asked, "Lin Yuanzhi is just a fifth-rank official. This Lin family is so shabby. Our family is curious. What kind of evidence can his family receive? "

Mr. Li's heart thumped and told Cao Lang about detailed clues.

Lin Yuanzhi's nephew Lin Fangfeng met a group of teenagers in Beijing while fighting crickets on the street. They held a cricket fighting competition, with two beads the size of fingertips.

Chucheng County is sparsely populated, and there is nothing to watch in the entire county.

When Lin Fangfeng arrived in Beijing, his favorite thing was the excitement. After hearing about this competition, he directly participated in it.

Unexpectedly, his general was invincible, and everyone's crickets were defeated, and Lin Yuanzhi easily won the lottery.

After winning, Lin Fangfeng was only concerned about showing off his general and didn't care about the Caitou. After returning home, he handed over the two beads to his mother Huang.

Cao Lang asked again: "Then tell me, who is the one who bribed? Why did you bribe Lin Yuanzhi?"

The Dayan Association has a dictatorship, and the Dongzhu and the Nanzhu are treasures of the country. All officials, gentry and people are not allowed to use them privately. Those who are subject to violations of bans will be severely punished. Those who have officials will be beaten 100 times and will not be dismissed. Those who have no officials will be punished fifty times and will be punished by parents.

The two masters and three young masters of the Lin family were sitting in the side hall.

Mr. Li led Cao Lang to the main hall of Lin Mansion and said as he walked: "Lin Yuanzhi had two crimes and condoned his nephew to accept huge bribes. This is one crime. He used Dongzhu beyond the rules, and this is two crimes. The evidence is in front. The lower official took his father-in-law to check it."

It was not until Cao Lang and Minister Li walked in that the two brothers stood up together.

Cao Lang threw the pair of embroidered shoes on the table and said in an extremely cold voice: "Ordinary people cannot see this thing. Even the father-in-laws in the imperial prison in the palace can't tell the difference between Dongzhu and Pearl after a glance. Our family is curious, why can the people from the Ministry of Justice recognize Dongzhu at a glance? They even ran to the girl's boudoir to turn over someone's dowry? Could it be that there are masters in the Ministry of Justice?"

The disaster happened suddenly. Lin Wenjing, the eldest son of the Lin family, didn't know why the turmoil in the mansion was caused, and he was a little confused. Lin Fangfeng and Lin Banxia were full of horror and kept standing at the door and leaning into the yard.

Minister Li smiled with a smile on his face and took Cao Lang to the main hall.

Lin Yuanzhi and Lin Wuyan sat upright, as if they were ignorant of the chaos in the main hall.

Mr. Li was speechless immediately, and shook his eyes at the two clerks, hoping that the clerk could help him explain. However, both clerks lowered their heads and did not see Mr. Li's eyes at all.

Cao Lang ignored Lin Yuanzhi and walked back and forth in the side hall with his hands on his hands, saying, "Mr. Li, our family is becoming more and more curious about the evidence you have told."

"By the way, there were those people in the search office at that time, so our family wanted to meet him."

She was not very interested in these two beads of her son, but she seemed to be shiny. She thought that there were two embroidered embroidered shoes for her daughter to get married, and put the beads on her daughter's new shoes.

The servants of the Ministry of Justice were constantly carrying "suspicious items" to the main hall, and two clerks registered and recorded.

Cao Lang's voice turned cold and he asked, "No one has been brought to justice yet, so why dare you say it's certain?"

"Yes, after hearing this, the official found someone to check it out and confirmed that it was Dongzhu. The market estimated that it was 8,000 taels. The group of people deliberately lost to the Lin family, and the Lin family took all the items according to the order. Therefore, the official dared to conclude that the bribery of this matter was sure."

"That group of people is a famous broker in Beijing. They originally wanted to take advantage of the Lin family's relationship to get involved with Luo Xiu and Shangshu Luo. I heard that the Lin family had committed a crime and ran away in scattered areas. No one has been brought to justice. Lord Dan Tai has issued a document of arrest and captured within a specified period of time."

It is not easy to collect Dongzhu and Nanzhu. It is the best beads above that are extremely precious once they appear. In order to ensure the royal cost, Taizu issued a decree. Only people with a certain status are qualified to wear Dongzhu and Nanzhu.

Mr. Li secretly complained in his heart that the case was originally handled by the superiors urgently. When handling the case, he only paid attention to Lin Yuanzhi's charges. He never thought of any loopholes, nor did he think that the East Factory would also make a fuss.

A clerk had a very wink. Seeing that Mr. Li was almost bent over and accompanied Cao Lang into the door, he hurriedly called someone to make a seat for Cao Lang.

Huang had no idea that his elder brother and husband had rejected the marriage of Prince Wei's Mansion and were still preparing his daughter's dowry.

Cao Lang held the embroidered shoes in his hand and looked at them for a moment, frowned and asked, "Is it these two beads?"

When the officers of the Ministry of Justice found these two beads from Huaguang Courtyard, Huang didn't know what had happened. He just looked at the group of wolf-like and tiger-like servants, turning their daughter's dowry upside down.

It was a pair of embroidered shoes the size of a palm, and the upper was made of ordinary red brocade. Even with two eastern beads on it, it would not show what was special about the shoes.

All the male members of the Lin family were detained in the front yard, and the two east beads were placed in the main hall of the Lin family as evidence of crime.

Corning's mansion is not qualified to use Dongzhu, let alone provide his daughter with dowry. This crime is enough for Lin Yuanzhi to be dismissed from office and dismissed.

Mr. Li immediately ordered someone to send the case files and evidence to Cao Lang. Cao Lang casually looked through two pages of the files and then turned his attention to the so-called "evidence" on the table.

Mr. Li nodded without hesitation.

Lin Yuanzhi bowed to Cao Lang and said, "Eunuch Cao is here, and the subordinates are in trouble. There are still some things in the mansion, and the hospitality is not good enough. Please forgive me."

"Absolutely?"

Huang did not expect that these two beads were Eastern beads, and each one was priceless.

As Mr. Li said, he made a gesture of invitation to Cao Lang, and said with a flattering smile: "Little Eunuch Cao, the subordinates have a love for them."

Cao Lang glanced at him sideways, as if he had seen his mind thoroughly, and said coldly: "It doesn't matter if our family looks at it. The Ministry of Justice is so confused about handling the case, and it is decided without asking for a simple matter. If it is spread, wouldn't it damage the emperor's name of kindness?"

Mr. Li had to tell the difference again, and then a team of Jinyiwei rushed into the front yard from outside.

A man dressed in a thousand households in the lead shouted loudly: "Dongchang handles the case, no one is involved, please avoid it quickly!"
