Ten minutes later, Yao Zheng finished treating his wound.
Fortunately, the snake was not poisonous. Otherwise, it would not be so safe now.
However, the other party still looked at Lin Beifan angrily.""Lin Beifan, why didn't you say so earlier?”
Lin Beifan felt wronged.”
Yao Zheng was speechless. He quibbled," Then why didn't you say anything before? You were so hesitant. You wanted to harm me on purpose?"”
Lin Beifan felt even more wronged." How would I dare to say it? I'm just afraid that I'll disturb the Emperor." Snakes are so disgusting. It wouldn't be good if they scared His Majesty! That's why I don't dare to say it, nor do I dare to let you dig!”
Yao Zheng was once again speechless.
The empress held back her laughter and said,"Alright, let's forget about this matter!" Minister Lin is also sympathetic to me, so she didn't say it! Minister Yao was also eager to monitor the situation, so she was harmed by this poisonous snake! Both of you are not wrong!"
"Your Majesty is right!" Lin Beifan nodded immediately.
Yao Zheng felt extremely wronged.
So I bit for nothing?
It was clearly this bastard who played tricks and caused him to fall into a trap!
This fellow was not a human!
I'm already so old, and you're still trying to trick me!
Was it easy for me?
"Since we didn't find anything, Minister Lin should be innocent.”The empress waved her hand.
"Your Majesty, please wait. This old minister still has something to say!”Yao Zheng shouted.
"Minister Yao, what else do you want?”
Yao Zheng glared at Lin Beifan and said respectfully,""Your Majesty, although there is no evidence, it does not prove that Lin Beifan is innocent! I have already invited the people who raided the house together yesterday. They can prove what I said!”
A group of trembling people walked over.
These people were the ones who had accompanied Lin Beifan yesterday.
"Greetings, Your Majesty. Long live the Emperor!”
"No need for formalities! Tell me about this!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
They told him everything that had happened yesterday.
The Water Empress looked at Lin Beifan with a faint smile.""Minister Lin, what do you have to say?"
Lin Beifan was very calm." Your Majesty, they're simply framing me. They're framing a loyal and upright person!"”
"Why do you say that?" The empress smiled meaningfully.
Lin Beifan's voice was sonorous." I don't know why they joined forces to frame me. They framed me for injustice. However, an upright person is not afraid of a crooked shadow. If they didn't do it, they didn't do it!"”
Hearing this, the empress rolled her eyes!
He lied so much that it sounded like the truth!
If I didn't know what kind of person you are, I would have dragged you out and beheaded you!
"In addition, Your Majesty, I suspect that they have been bribed!”"If Your Majesty doesn't believe me, you can send someone to search their homes!" Lin Beifan said loudly. After looting their homes, everything was clear!”
The group of witnesses immediately panicked.”
The empress narrowed her eyes and waved her hand. A few Brocade Guards came forward to listen to the decree.
"Go and raid their homes now!”
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
Two hours later.
The empress looked at the dazzling array of treasures with a gloomy expression.
These were all looted from the witness's house, and the total value actually reached 300,000 taels.
The witnesses were already pale with fright.
He kept kowtowing and begging for his life.
"Your Majesty, I was wrong. Please spare my life!”
"Your Majesty, please show mercy!"
……
Lin Beifan said carelessly," Your Majesty, look. They are all small officials. In the end, they are all richer than me!" All their wealth had already far exceeded what they had earned! They were just a bunch of corrupt officials. What was there to believe in their words? They could harm the country's interests for their own interests! Naturally, they could also frame Zhongliang for their own interests!”
The empress waved her sleeves unhappily." Men, pull them down and kill them!"”
"Your Majesty, please spare my life!"
"Your Majesty!"
……
No matter how much they begged, their heads would fall to the ground in the end.
Lin Beifan came to Yao Zheng's side and looked at Yao Zheng's face that was alternating between green and white. He smiled and said,"Lord Yao, this is the witness you invited? That's all!"
"You!" Yao Zheng's face turned green.
"Looks like the facts have proven that Minister Lin is innocent!”The empress smiled." Furthermore, in such a difficult environment, Minister Lin is still able to achieve something and become the top scorer in high school. I am very pleased!”
"Your Majesty, you flatter me. I don't deserve it!”Lin Beifan quickly said.
"Of course, but as the new top scorer and an official of the imperial court, it's too shabby for you to live here. It's a disgrace to the imperial court!”The empress pondered for a moment." How about this? Didn't Left Prime Minister Quan's house get raided?" His courtyard has already been returned to the national treasury. Now, I will reward this courtyard to you. You should move in as soon as possible!”
Lin Beifan was shocked. He had gone over to take a look at the courtyard. It was located in the core area of the capital. It was big and luxurious, and the environment was very elegant. It would not be a problem for a hundred people to live there!
Such a large courtyard was worth at least 200,000 taels in the capital, where every inch of land was worth gold!
The empress had actually given him such a good house. She was really too good to him!
Lin Beifan was very touched. I'll try my best to be less greedy in the future!
"Thank you, Lord!" Lin Beifan shouted.
She raised her head and realized that she was surrounded by envious and jealous expressions!
"I hope Minister Lin will maintain your original heart and forge ahead. Don't let down Zhen's expectations of you!”The empress said meaningfully.
"I am willing to do my best for Your Majesty until I die!”
"Good, good, good!" The empress clapped her hands and laughed. Remember your words! Return to the palace!"
At this moment, Lin Beifan said," Your Majesty, since we're already here, why don't we go to Lord Yao's house to take a look? Who knows, we might find something unexpected!"”
"Lin Beifan, what do you mean?" Yao Zheng said angrily.”
"Lord Yao, you know what I mean!" Lin Beifan said with a smile. As the saying goes, one who keeps company with vermilion is red and one who keeps company with ink is black. You actually dragged a group of corrupt officials to correct me. Do you dare to say that you have nothing to do with it?”
"You!" Yao Zheng was furious.
The empress narrowed her eyes, her meaning difficult to understand.
"Lin Beifan, don't slander me!" Yao Zheng said angrily. This old man is pure and innocent. I have never done such petty things, nor will I be greedy for a trace of the people's wealth! Alright, since you want to see it, I'll bring you there!”
Yao Zheng clasped his hands."Your Majesty, please move to my humble abode to prove your innocence."”
"Alright, then we'll go take a look!" The empress smiled.”
