Chapter 1698 Capital Movement

It was the peak period of the yamen. Many people watched a large group of Jinyiwei, who were like wolves and tigers, headed Lin Qingran into a carriage and left.

When I saw this scene, many officials couldn't believe their eyes. Lin Weiran, the left assistant minister of the Ministry of Rites who was at its peak in the Ming Dynasty, was probably about to fall.

As the carriage headed towards the Beizhen Fushi, the news quickly spread throughout the streets and alleys of Beijing as if it had grown wings.

"What did Minister Lin do?"

"It's not true. He can do things for the people and it's obvious to all!"

"In my opinion, I'm afraid that the villain Xu Jie made some small moves behind his back!"

...

As the news spread further, restaurants and teahouses immediately discussed, and many versions of speculation appeared about the real motivation behind this, and Xu Jie's conspiracy theory was the most extensive.

Surprisingly, many scholars or people thought that Lin Weiran was really a crime.

If we talk about the most famous official in the dynasty, it was actually not the Qingliu leader Wu Shan, the Minister of Personnel, or the "Hai Qingtian" Hai Rui who had just been promoted to the head of the Yunnan Department of the Ministry of Revenue, but Lin Weiran, the current left assistant minister of the Ministry of Rites.

Everyone's eyes are bright. Many people know clearly which official is really doing things for the people, and Lin Qingran is the one who truly brings benefits to the people.

Not to mention what Lin Qingran did in Leizhou Prefecture and Guangzhou Prefecture, just when he served as the prefect of Shuntian Prefecture, he vigorously rectified the commercial order in Beijing and promoted the development of the Gulou Lantern Festival, which made the people in Beijing still think about it.

Lin Weiran is good.

The pause of the salt administration caused a significant decline in salt prices. Although the reduction of the vassal liberation rice did not achieve the ideal effect, Lin Weiran was always a real person.

Now that Lin Xuran was suddenly taken away by the Jinyiwei of the Beizhen Fushi Department, more people are willing to believe that it was the result of Xu Jie's revenge. This was Lin Xuran's false accusation by the treacherous ministers.

Lingshi Hutong, Lin Mansion.

A guard hurriedly broke into the gate, ran towards the inner house and shouted loudly: "Not good! No good! Uncle Nineteen, Uncle Nineteen was taken away by the Jinyiwei of the Northern Fusi Department!"

The Chuanhua Gate is a forbidden area. Although the guards did not break in, the news was still spread through the sound.

Since Hua Yingrong went south to handle the affairs of the United Money House, Wu Qiuyu is now the only one in charge, waiting for her husband to return while embroidering flowers.

But when he heard this news, he felt dizzy as soon as he stood up. Fortunately, Aduo was quick-eyed and quick-handed, otherwise he would have fallen to the ground.

If we talk about what the officials in the capital are most worried about, it is undoubtedly the Jinyiwei of the Beizhenfusi. They only obey the emperor and can directly arrest a high-ranking official of the court without the approval of the Three Laws.

As soon as the news came out, Ning Jiang and others gathered at Yang Futian's home closest to Lin Mansion to discuss countermeasures.

Without realizing it, Lin Xuran has become the backbone of their group. Once Lin Xuran really falls, they may also be hit and retaliated by the Xu Party.

Although they can still get the protection of their teacher Wu Shan, many of them know one thing very well in their hearts that their teacher is no match for the old fox Xu Jie at all.

Once Lin Weiran really falls, their lives will definitely not be easy. Of course, they will not think so much at this moment, just want to discuss countermeasures.

When Wang Honghai learned the news, he also gathered several people in the same year. When his mentor was in trouble, they naturally thought of rescuing this way.

However, the order to take Lin Weiran away was conveyed by the palace, and the latest news was that Lu Yi, the assistant of the Beizhen Fushi, took the people away according to the emperor's oral order, but he didn't know what was wrong.

"Help me clean up, I'll go to my mother's side!"

Facing this bolt from the blue, Wu Qiuyu quickly recovered, took out the temperament of the hostess of the Lin family, and directly ordered the maid next to her.

Since it was under the emperor's order, I could only ask for information from the palace.

Wu Qiuyu came to the Wu Mansion and told her about the matter. When she learned that her father was in the palace today, she sent someone to wait at the palace gate, hoping to find out what had happened as soon as possible so that she could "prescribe the right medicine".

In the evening, a sedan chair walked out of the front yard of the Wu Mansion.

Wu's mother and Wu Qiuyu were waiting in the front hall and immediately came forward.

Wu Shan walked down from the sedan chair. When he looked up and saw Wu Qiuyu appearing here, a hint of surprise flashed across his face, and then he returned to his usual serious appearance.

Wu's mother is an impatient woman. She immediately said something about Lin Weiran being taken away by the Jinyiwei of the Beizhen Fushi Department with a little jealousy, and finally asked anxiously: "What did the son-in-law actually do? Why did the emperor order him to be arrested.

?”

Wu Shan pinched his eyebrows and was about to speak.

But before he could say anything, Wu's mother couldn't help but urge him again: "You speak up! I'm so anxious!"

Wu's mother really treated her son-in-law as her son. When she learned that Lin Junran was being held by the Jinyiwei, she was always anxious with Wu Qiuyu, and even acted a little more anxious than Wu Qiuyu.

Although Wu Qiuyu was also anxious, she was always a lady from a noble family. She received education of dignified behavior since childhood. At this time, her eyes were watery and looked at her father.

"When I was taken away, I was afraid... you weren't so nervous, right?" Wu Shan seemed jealous and immediately responded angrily.

Wu's mother was slightly stunned at first, then she felt a little confused and said, "You... you seem to have been to the imperial prison of the Northern Fushi Department?"

If there is anything that makes her proud, it is that her husband has been an official for decades, but has never caused any major trouble and has never worried her.

Wu's mother looked at Wu Shan not like she was lying, and she couldn't help but think of the solar eclipse storm a few years ago. She asked with uncertainty: "Did you talk about the solar eclipse that time?"

"No!" Wu Shan's face was slightly cold, and he immediately denied.

Although the dispute with Yuan Wei caused a lot of controversy and was even once detached by the emperor's orders at home, he was not taken by the Jinyiwei.

A light suddenly flashed through Wu Qiuyu's mind, and he guessed with uncertainty: "Dad, you... are you talking about the 37th year of Jiajing...that time!"

Wu Shan turned his head and looked at his daughter, then nodded seriously, but said indifferently: "I'm hungry." After saying this, he ignored Wu's mother's anxiety and went straight to the inner house.

Walk away.
