With this stick, Gao Yamen's skin and flesh were split open again, and he peed his pants!
If he didn't lie in bed for two months, he wouldn't be able to live up to this scream!
The other yamen who witnessed it felt their hearts ache, and their buttocks hurt!
Too tragic!
It was really…too tragic!
It was so life-threatening!
Their eyes were filled with fear as they looked at Lin Beifan!
After finishing this blow, Lin Beifan looked at the other yamen.""And all of you are accomplices to the murder of an official of the Imperial Court! According to the rules of the directorate, 100 strokes! Furthermore, he was expelled from school and sent to the government! However, since it's your first offense, I'll give you a chance to turn over a new leaf! Do you want money or life?"
"Ah?" the yamen wailed. We have to be punished too. We didn't do anything!”
"What's the big deal?" Lin Beifan said angrily. If I did, would I still sit here calmly and reason with you?”
The yamen were so angry that they spat blood. How was this reasonable?
It was clearly an opportunity to extort!
Calm?
You're threatening us with such a thick stick!
Demons!
"Lord Siye, but we already have no money!”
"Yeah, I really don't have any money! My mother's dowry was stolen by me. I'll be beaten up when I go back!”
"I really can't squeeze out another tael of silver!”
……
Lin Beifan's expression softened slightly as he withdrew his rod.
"I understand your difficulties. I'm not an unreasonable person! How about this, I'll give you three days!! After three days, if we can't gather enough money, we'll punish you according to the law! If you have enough, let bygones be bygones!"
"Yes, Lord Siye!" The yamen went back dejectedly.
In order to make up for the loss, he had no choice but to ask his parents for money again.
At the home of the Minister of Revenue, Qian Yuanshen.
His son Qian Duocai looked at his dignified old father and stammered,"Father, can you give me some money?”
Minister of Revenue Qian Yuanshen snorted,""What do you want money for?"
To be honest, he was very dissatisfied with his son.
He couldn't do anything. He ate, drank, and gambled all day long. He even reached out to the family for money all day long.
If it wasn't his child, he would have slapped him to death.
Qian Duocai shrank his head and said with some fear,"Father, I made a mistake in the directorate and was fined by Lin Siye! He wanted to hit me, so…"
"Did you make a mistake again? What did you do wrong?" Qian Yuanshen was furious.
He knew that Lin Beifan was very greedy for money and especially liked to take money from their children.
However, this guy was as smart as a monkey. Even if he was greedy for money, he would make it clear that he had a legitimate reason.
Therefore, his son must have made a mistake again and was caught by the other party.
"I am an accomplice in hiring someone to kill an official of the imperial court! However, he was discovered before he could complete it.”Qian Duocai whispered.
Qian Yuanshen was so angry that his entire body was trembling.”
He raised his hand and was about to slap her, but was stopped by the old woman.
"Alright, it's not a big deal. After all, he is your son. Don't touch him. If you break him, you won't feel bad, but I will!”
Qian Yuanshen was even angrier." Look at you. A loving mother spoils her son. This is how you spoil him!"”
The old lady and Qian Duocai stopped talking.
"However, Lin Beifan is also a bastard!”Qian Yuanshen gritted his teeth. Tomorrow, this old man will definitely test him!”
At the home of Wang Yuanshan, the Minister of Works.
When Wang Ruofeng returned home, he immediately knelt in front of an old woman and cried bitterly,""Mother, you must help me! If you don't help me, you'll die…"
"My son, what's wrong?" The old woman asked with concern.
"I have no money! If I can't fork out 100,000 taels in three days, I'll be beaten to death! Mother, please help father speak up and give me another 100,000 taels, okay?”
At night, Wang Yuanshan was very angry when he returned home.
Not only was she angry at her son, but she was even angrier at Lin Beifan."Lin Beifan, do you really think my son is a leek that can be easily harvested? What can a scholar endure? Tomorrow, this old man will definitely take a look at you!”
Similar things happened in the families of other officials.
However, the angriest person was Gao Tianyao, the Minister of Personnel Affairs.
Because his most precious son had been beaten up again.
Not only did he extort money, but he also beat up his son. His heart ached to death.
What if something happened to him?
That night, Gao Tianyao, the Minister of Official Personnel Affairs, arrived at Lin Beifan's house.
"Lord Gao, what brings you here?”Lin Beifan asked with a smile.
"You know the answer!" " Lin Beifan," Gao Tianyao said aggressively," you beat my son up like that. Did you rely on His Majesty's favor to not dare to do anything to you?"”
"Lord Gao, why don't you ask what your son did?”
"He's just a child. What can he do? You're simply using your position to take revenge!"
The smile on Lin Beifan's face disappeared and his expression darkened.""Lord Gao, your son, Gao Tianyu, threatened to kill me! This is a taboo in officialdom. Don't you know that? I'm already lenient by not firing him, but you actually came to seek justice. What kind of logic is this?”
Gao Tianyao's expression changed slightly.
There was indeed a rule in officialdom that could not be violated, and that was to not hire assassins to plot against political opponents.
Otherwise, if you kill me today and I kill you tomorrow, wouldn't the court be in chaos?
All grudges must be resolved in the imperial court!
Therefore, in the officialdom, no one could hire someone to kill. Even if they did, they could not be discovered by others. Otherwise, they would be beheaded.
"Even if I did, so what? I didn't do it, did I?”Gao Tianyao was pestering him.
"When he does it, what will happen?" "As the director of the Imperial College, I have to take preventive measures!" Lin Beifan said seriously. If you discover a problem, you have to correct it in time! Was it wrong for me to do this?”
Gao Tianyao's expression was uncertain. In the end, he left with a flick of his sleeves.
"Humph! This old man can't outtalk you. You better take care of yourself. Our debts aren't over yet!”
"I won't see you off, Lord Gao!" Lin Beifan smiled and waved his hand.
When Gao Tianyao came back, he was furious again when he saw his son screaming.
"My son, don't worry. Father will definitely avenge you!”
Thus, on the morning court session of the second day, a spectacular and orderly scene appeared.
"Your Majesty, I have a book from the directorate, Lin Beifan!”
"Your Majesty, I have a book from the directorate, Lin Beifan!”
……
The empress was stunned.
What did this guy do to make all the officials attack him?
"Dear ministers, why do you want to impeach Minister Lin?”
Gao Tianyao, the Minister of Official Personnel Affairs, stood up and said loudly,""Your Majesty, when Lin Beifan was in charge of the directorate, he was willful and immoral. He encouraged students to play with strange tricks, neglected their studies, and shook the foundation of education.”
"Your Majesty, please investigate!" The officials said in unison.
Their corruption was not something that could be brought to light, so they could only find other legitimate reasons.
"Minister Lin, is this true?" the empress asked.
Lin Beifan stood up calmly." Your Majesty, there's no such thing. They're talking nonsense!"”
"Lin Beifan, I knew you would deny it!" Gao Tianyao sneered. Therefore, I invited Chancellor Liu and another Siye. They can testify for me!”
"Xuan!" the empress said.
The old eunuch shouted loudly,"We invite the Imperial College's Chancellor Liu Huaye and Secretary Sun Tiandao to pay an audience!"”
A moment later, Lin Beifan's immediate superior, Chancellor Liu, and his colleague, Sun Tiandao, walked into the throne room.
"Greetings, Your Majesty. Long live the Emperor!”
"Please excuse me!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
The empress's expression was stern." Earlier, Minister Gao Aiqing of the Ministry of Official Personnel Affairs said that Lin Beifan was willful and immoral when he was in the directorate. He encouraged his students to play with strange tricks and neglect their studies. Is that true?"”
The two of them looked at each other and replied at the same time,"It's true!"
Chancellor Liu took a deep breath and said,"" Your Majesty, Siye Lin has committed many crimes during his term of office…"
The other party kept talking non-stop, accusing Lin Beifan of all his " crimes ".
Lin Beifan looked at this sycophantic and submissive old man with disdain.
The officials are taking care of your people, and not only are you not protecting them, you're even acting as the bird that sticks out and hits wherever you point. It's hard to achieve great things!
After Chancellor Liu finished speaking, he took a step back and it was Sun Siye's turn to explain.
"Minister Lin, do you have anything to say?”The empress was a little worried.
If Lin Beifan's crime was really as Chancellor Liu said, then under the pressure of the officials, she had no choice but to temporarily remove Lin Beifan from his position and lay low.
He sighed in his heart. Could this guy make him worry?
He was very capable, but his ability to cause trouble was not small either!
It was tiring to always let her clean up after him!
At this moment, Lin Beifan calmly clasped his hands. I do encourage my students to study strange techniques, but everything is for His Majesty, for Great Martial, and for the country!”
"Ridiculous! I have never heard that playing with strange and licentious skills can be beneficial to His Majesty, to the martial arts world, and to the country! On the contrary, many people lost their will because of playthings and ended up crippling them!”
"That's right! As a scholar, he should aim for fame and benefit the people. He should be diligent in his studies and not spend his time on useless things!”
"Siye Lin, what are you trying to do?”
"Your Majesty, Siye Lin is evil! Relying on His Majesty's favor, he acted recklessly. His Majesty, quickly issue an edict to punish him!”
……
All the officials were in a heated argument, pointing their swords at Lin Beifan.
" Your Majesty!" Lin Beifan said calmly." I would like to invite Your Majesty and the ministers to follow me to the Imperial College!" As long as he reached the directorate, everything would be clear!”
The empress thought for a moment and nodded.”
