After hearing the commotion in the main courtyard, many officials from the Ministry of Revenue also ran out immediately. Knowing that Huang Guangsheng was here to arrest Hai Rui, they couldn't help but look at each other, but they didn't understand what Haimen Shen had done.

He Yishang, the secretary of the Ministry of Household Affairs, had some dealings with Hai Rui. He couldn't help but sigh secretly when he learned that Hai Rui had bought Shu Zhijian on the coffin.

While everyone was stunned, Hai Rui walked out expressionlessly and responded fearlessly to Huang Guangsheng: "I am Hai Rui!"

"Take it!" Huang Guangsheng and Hai Rui had nothing to do with each other. When he saw the rightful owner taking the initiative, he snorted and immediately waved his hand.

Several officials from the Punishment Department were immediately ordered to step forward. Since Zhengtang was personally leading the team this time, they had already brought a pair of heavy shackles with them, intending to lock the imperial prisoner back to the Punishment Department.

"slow!"

It was at this moment that a majestic voice stopped him.

As soon as the officials of the Ministry of Hubu heard this, they knew who the visitor was and immediately and respectfully made way for them.

Lin Haoran, the Minister of the Ministry of Finance, appeared with a jade belt around his waist and strode out from the main hall. The first-grade official uniform on his body was particularly eye-catching, and he looked majestic.

A person's name, the shadow of a tree.

In the current court, Lin Haoran is already a high-ranking being, but he is not comparable to Huang Guangsheng, a minister of the Ministry of Justice who needs to rely on Xu Jie.

"Lin Shangshu, are you trying to hinder me from running an errand?" Huang Guangsheng looked at Lin Haoran, who was walking towards him, and asked confidently.

Lin Haoran felt Huang Guangsheng's arrogance and couldn't help but frown slightly, but he kept calm and said: "Huang Shangshu, if you come to my household department to pick someone up, you have to give me an explanation, right?"

Shanxi Division Chief Liu Yao and other officials nodded one after another and looked at Huang Guangsheng, the Minister of Punishment. Although they were not very close to Hai Rui, who was born in Juren, Hai Rui was a member of their household department after all, and he upheld the principle of protecting shortcomings.

Glorious tradition.

Even if we really want to take Hai Rui away, we have to give them an explanation instead of just taking them away without saying hello.

"Lin Shangshu, I am here to fetch someone under the emperor's order!" Huang Guangsheng cupped his hands in the direction of Xiyuan and said to Lin Haoran arrogantly.

this……

Shanxi Division Chief Liu Yao and other officials stood behind Lin Haoran. When they heard that Huang Guangsheng was ordered to take someone, they also understood Huang Guangsheng's arrogance, but they all looked at Hai Rui in confusion.

Since he was ordered to seize someone, then this matter must not be a small matter, but I don't know what this Haimen God did that would alarm the current emperor.

Lin Haoran was not too surprised, but still asked stiffly: "Huang Shangshu, I wonder what serious crime Hai Rui has committed, and why do you actually bother you to personally take someone to take him back?"

"The crime that Hai Rui committed is not yet known, but the emperor has just conveyed an oral order to the Ministry of Punishment, ordering the Ministry of Punishment to detain Hai Rui in the Prison of the Ministry of Punishment!" Huang Guangsheng responded arrogantly.

Lin Haoran frowned slightly and turned to look at Hai Rui.

Hai Rui still had some respect for Lin Haoran, and when he saw that Lin Haoran had indeed stood up to protect him, he said coldly: "I have remonstrated!"

Direct admonishment?

When they heard this, the surrounding officials suddenly realized, but they looked at the stubborn Hai Rui with complicated eyes.

Officials in this dynasty who dare to directly remonstrate may be demoted at worst, or their heads may be in danger at worst. Hai Rui may be in trouble this time.

Although Huang Guangsheng had already made a guess, when he heard Hai Rui admit it personally, he still looked at Hai Rui with pity, waved his hand and said, "Take him away!"

Several officials from the Ministry of Punishment were ordered to act and prepare to put Hai Rui in shackles and escort him back to the Ministry of Punishment.

"Slow down!" Lin Haoran suddenly stopped him.

Huang Guangsheng was overjoyed. He looked at Lin Haoran with a half-smile and said, "Lin Shangshu, are you really going to disobey the emperor's order?"

If Lin Haoran repeatedly stopped him, he could take the opportunity to launch an attack. Since the emperor hated Hai Rui's direct remonstrance, and Xu Ge had already intended to get rid of Lin Haoran, the consequences of this incident would be Lin Haoran's resignation.

Officials such as Liu Yao, the chief minister of Shanxi Province, knew deeply that the emperor's order was difficult to disobey, but they couldn't help but look at Lin Haoran worriedly.

"Of course I dare not disobey the emperor's order!" Lin Haoran said lightly, and then said with official authority: "Huang Shangshu, since Hai Rui has not been convicted yet, the emperor just ordered the Ministry of Punishment to arrest and take him back to the jail of the Ministry of Punishment, then you

There’s no need to make such a fuss, just don’t put on this shackles!”

"That's right, Hai Rui hasn't been convicted yet!"

"Even if the direct remonstrance angers the emperor, there must be a regulation!"

"If you are really so afraid that Hai Rui will run away, how about I use him as your guarantee?"

…

Officials such as Liu Yao and other officials in Shanxi Province knew what Lin Haoran meant, and when they looked at the shackles weighing dozens of kilograms, they all responded in a variety of ways.

Although the Criminal Department is not in Dongjiangmi Lane, it is not far from the Household Department and can be reached within a short walk. However, if Hai Rui could walk back without having to put on the shackles, he would have suffered less.

Facing these passionate household officials, Huang Guangsheng took another deep look at Lin Haoran and found that the household department was really run like an iron barrel by Lin Haoran.

Although it is true that he is the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, if he really offends the public, he will already be in trouble. He waved his hand and said: "Don't put the shackles on, take the person back to the Ministry of Punishment!"

Hai Rui seemed to know that his departure would bring disaster, so he glanced at Lin Haoran and the others with a complex look, and then left without hesitation with Huang Guangsheng.

Shanxi Division Chief Liu Yao and other officials watched Hai Rui being taken away by Huang Guangsheng, the Minister of Punishment, but they felt helpless and turned to look at Lin Haoran.

Although Hai Rui was in danger, they still didn't want to see Hai Rui being pushed to the guillotine.

As an official of the Ming Dynasty, he naturally knows the current situation of the dynasty. The emperor has insisted on building Chengtian Palace and other major projects for so many years, which is not the behavior of a wise king, but everyone knows that direct remonstrance will only lead to death.

People like Zou Yinglong, Lu Fengyi and Lin Run, the officials under Xu Jie, although they scolded the Yan family and his sons and Hu Zongxian very enthusiastically, they did not dare to accuse the current saint of half a sentence.

Now Hai Rui was able to say something for everyone that they didn't dare to say, and he went so far as to speak directly to the emperor without hesitation. This courage alone was worthy of them stepping forward to help Hai Rui.

Lin Haoran also had his own considerations. He did not turn around and return to the signing room, but directly called Lin Fu to prepare the sedan and said: "Enter the palace!"
