Chapter 128
Chen Buyi took the tea bowl handed over by Bai Han and took a sip. It was tea from the Western Regions, similar to milk tea, which was quite easy to taste.
"Brother Bai, although Chen is just a small dog shop envoy, he still knows a few friends in the officialdom. If you think Chen can help, you can just speak up."
I thought I would say a few words in the scene, but unexpectedly, Bai Xiu became very serious.
"Mr. Shen, are you familiar with Lin Ran, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue?"
Minister of the Ministry of Revenue?
Why did Bai Xiu suddenly mention him?
Chen Buyi smiled a little embarrassedly.
"To be honest, I'm not familiar with him, I've only met him a few times."
Bai Xiu also laughed twice.
"It's okay, it's okay, I just ask casually, ask casually."
Just ask, your casualness makes me feel very embarrassed.
Chen Buyi hurriedly found an excuse and left Xishi.
Seeing Chen Buyi leaving with the wolf, Bai Han couldn't help it, "Brother, why did you mention Lin Ran to Chen Buyi?"
Bai Xiu smiled, "Did you see the expression that was so deep just now?
It's very unnatural, which means that he and Lin Ran are really not familiar with each other."
"So what?"
Bai Xiu picked up the tea bowl, Gudong Gudong took two sips of milk tea, and then said slowly: "Relying on the thunder alone, I am afraid of something wrong. It is difficult to get close to Li Longji. If it can be used by me, it may not be surprising if it will be effective at that time."
"Then, what should we do?"
Bai Han looked at his elder brother in a little confused, and couldn't figure out his intentions.
"what to do?
What else can I do?
If you like his preferences and like beauty, give him Persian dancer. If you like money, give him white money."
After Bai Xiu finished speaking, he squinted his eyes and laughed haha.
But at this time, Emperor Xuanzong could not laugh.
Looking at the memorial presented by Zhong Wei, I couldn't help but be furious. It was just a trivial matter of selling a house and actually took Zhang Zijing nearly 10,000 taels of black money.
Too greedy and too cruel.
I picked up the red pen on the table, drew a circle on the memorial, and threw it on the ground.
"Go and search Lin Ran's house. I want to see how much money I have lost."
Zhong Wei held the memorial and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
"Lin Ran, Lin Ran, you and I have been in the court for many years, but I didn't expect you to be so unscrupulous."
After walking out of Xingqing Palace, Luo Dongli had already ordered two hundred troops outside.
The two of them led a group of imperial guards and marched towards Lin Ran's house in a mighty manner.
Lin Ran had just arrived home, and before he could change his official uniform, Lin Ning stumbled and ran in.
"Master, something is wrong."
Lin Ran was very calm.
"What's the matter panic?"
"Master, outside, the Censor Zhong Wei and the Imperial Guardian Luo Dongli led a large group of troops and surrounded our house."
What.
Lin Ran was shocked and fell to the ground with a clang.
"What did you say?"
"Outside, there are many imperial guards outside, and we have surrounded us."
"Go and go out and have a look."
Lin Ran put on his official uniform again, walked towards the gate with all directions.
"Mr. Zhong, Commander Luo, what do you mean?"
Zhong Wei raised his right hand high and said loudly: "According to the emperor's will, we will investigate Lin Ran's family."
"Inspection?"
Lin Ran was a little confused.
"Yes, Lord Lin, do you know Zhang Zijing?
He went to the Censorate to sue you, saying that you had blacked his money and sold it to him a house at a high price."
"The Lord of the Lord was very angry when he saw it. He ordered me to bring people to come."
Speaking of the key point, Zhong Wei still stuttered a little.
Luo Dongli, who was standing beside him, took over the conversation and said, "I'll wait to search the house."
House search.
It was like a bolt from the blue, killing Lin Ran all over.
However, he could no longer think too much.
Luo Dong waved his hand and several imperial guards rushed forward, and tied up Lin Ran with a set of ropes.
A civil servant obviously has no ability to resist.
"You guys must have made a mistake."
Lin Ran fought loudly, but this was no longer helpful and solved the problem.
Zhong Wei and Luo Dongli, commanding the Imperial Guard, rushed into the Lin Mansion like wolves and tigers.
Soon, all the servants and maids of the Lin Mansion were driven out.
Immediately afterwards, Zhong Wei and Luo Dongli, led the people to search carefully.
An hour passed.
The two of them couldn't help but look at the small ones.
Not to mention Boyuan's post, it's flying silver, even silver liang, but only dozens of taels were found.
Moreover, the two of them searched Lin Ran's residence and study room, and there was not even a decent table and chair, let alone valuable antique calligraphy and paintings.
"Mr. Zhong, what should I do?"
Luo Dongli also felt a little overwhelmed.
.
After all, Zhong Wei is knowledgeable. "If there is no physical evidence, it is okay to have personal evidence. Take someone to the inn to find Zhang Zijing to ask for details. I will have a good talk with Lin Ran."
However, in the end, he was still as disappointed as ever. Lin Ran insisted that he sold three hundred taels to Zhang Zijing in a house, and the rest were denied.
Zhong Wei had no choice but to come to see Xuanzong Li Longji with the dozens of taels of silver he had found.
"Zhong Aiqing, what did you say?
Only such a little money was found in Lin Ran's family?"
Xuanzong Li Longji opened his eyes wide in disbelief.
"Back to the emperor, that's all."
Zhong Wei had to answer truthfully.
"The whereabouts of Boyuantie were not found."
Xuanzong's brows couldn't help but frowned.
If that is the case, then Zhang Zijing is a false accusation, but Zhang Zijing just wants to buy a house, how could he give Lin Ran so much money?
Just as the two of them were pondering, Luo Dongli arrived.
After greeting the emperor, he clasped his fists and said, "Go back to the emperor, Weichen went to the post station to ask. According to them, earlier, Zhang Zijing had told them that he had spent 300 taels to buy a house!"
Three hundred taels?
Emperor Xuanzong couldn't help but be shocked! "Luo Aiqing, are you sure they were talking about three hundred taels?"
Luo Dongli nodded, "Go back to the emperor, you are waiting outside the palace gate, why don't you call him in and ask?"
No need.
At this time, Xuanzong said with emotion, "Lin Ran has been an official for more than 20 years, but his entire family is only a few dozen taels of silver. Is this a family of second-rank officials? Is it a model for officials of the Tang Dynasty?"
Luo Dongli was full of suspicion. Although he didn't find anything, Lin Ran's home was too cold.
Doubt is suspicion, but what about the evidence?
All the evidence now can only prove that Zhang Zijing is lying and accusing him falsely.
Apart from restoring Lin Ran's reputation, there seems to be no better choice.
At this time, in the Imperial Guard.
Xie Chengwen retreated to the guard and walked into Lin Ran's cell.
"Sir, why not take the opportunity to rebel against him?"
