Playing bad and eating melons: The whole court is laughing? No, no

Emperor Yuan did not immediately agree, but said: "My dear, I cannot order an investigation into the family of the Minister of Arms based on your words alone. You must provide evidence."

【Little melon?】

[Host, the evidence is in the dungeon privately built by the Lin Mansion. In fact, the real ruthless person is Minister Lin.

He had a habit of whipping people when he was in a bad mood, especially young men with good looks.

At this time, the Lin Mansion dungeon was already holding quite a few prisoners. Among them were refugees from the famine in Western Province, street performers from the South Courtyard, and slaves indentured to sell their bodies... As they say, if the upper beam is crooked, the lower beams will be crooked as well. Second Miss Lin had completely inherited his inhumanity.

Everyone was shocked. What did they just hear?

Minister Lin secretly built a dungeon, imprisoned young masters and whipped them to death?

They simply couldn't believe that Minister Lin would be that kind of person.

But now thinking back carefully, Minister Lin seemed to be more concerned about those good-looking new officials.

A certain young official who had received special care suddenly felt a chill. No wonder he always felt that Minister Lin looked at him strangely.

"Your Majesty, I..." Minister Lin tried to argue.

"I am tired. We can discuss this matter later. My dear ministers, please withdraw."

All the civil and military officials quickly retreated, and before Jiang Yueyang could react, she was quickly pulled out by her father.

Only the Crown Prince, the Third Prince, the Fifth Prince, the left and right prime ministers, and Minister Lin and his son were left in the hall.

Jiang Yueyang looked back and saw that the door of the Hall of Supreme Harmony was closed.

She asked in confusion: "Xiaogua, what just happened? Why did His Majesty suddenly announce the end of the court session?"

I didn't pay attention.

Jiang Yueyang felt strange, but did not ask further questions. Instead, she asked curiously: [Minister Lin is... a gay?]

[No, he is purely mentally twisted. Gay men are another person, does the host want to know?]

Jiang Yueyang shook her head desperately, "The melon is too big, let me slow down. Speaking of which, why are all the officials in Daxia so devoid of values? Either they love to dress like women, or they're mentally twisted. Oh my god, I can't stand this court for even a single day."

The man who loves to wear women's clothes is on leave at home today. His wife is burning his hidden clothes one by one and warning him that she will divorce him if he doesn't change this habit.

"No! Ever since the host came out, my energy has skyrocketed. I'm about to break through to level two. It's a pity that I can only eat one melon a day, like Minister Lin and Master Wu."

【why? 】

[There's no reason, it's just the way it's programmed.]

Jiang Yueyang didn't hesitate and asked, "What changes will you experience after the upgrade?"

[There are no changes at level 2. After level 3, a shopping mall will be opened where the host can purchase items.]

Jiang Yueyang raised her eyebrows slightly, as expected, the system must have a mall.

[What do I use to buy it? Silver? Points? But I don't have any points.]

[Silver, jade, jewelry, etc. are all acceptable. The mall will automatically discount them to the actual amount.]

Jiang Yueyang and the system chatted as they walked towards the palace gate. At this moment, in the Hall of Supreme Harmony, the Lin family father and son knelt on the floor with a bang.

"Your Majesty, please listen to my explanation. The situation is not as Minister Jiang's daughter said. Those people are lunatics. They tried to assassinate me, so I arrested them and tortured them severely."

"Crazy bastard?" Emperor Yuan grabbed the teacup beside him and smashed it down. "Do you think I'm a fool?"

Minister Lin's forehead was bruised, but he paid no attention to it. Instead, he kowtowed and said, "What I said is all true. If Your Majesty doesn't believe me, you can bring the person here for questioning."

Crown Prince Yuan Ye: "Minister Lin dared to do such a thing. He should have thought of a way to escape after the incident was exposed. I don't think those people would identify you."

"Your Highness, are you trying to accuse me of something?"

The prince laughed, "Minister Lin, Jiang Yueyang's true feelings are unmistakable. Your attempts to quibble are in vain. Why would I come here to accuse you of a crime?"

"Your Highness, how do you know that Minister Jiang's daughter wasn't being manipulated to deliberately frame me? I've worked diligently and devotedly for Daxia over the years. Is there not even a young girl I can trust?"

"Minister Lin is so eloquent, it would be a shame if he didn't become a censor." The third prince said sarcastically.

"What I said is true!"

The Fifth Prince could no longer bear it and simply said, "Father, he refuses to admit his guilt. Why don't you just act like Minister Jiang's daughter suggested and be a tyrant?"

Emperor Yuan considered it seriously and felt that it was not impossible.

He wanted to purge the court, and there would be no shortage of bloodshed. Besides, Minister Lin deserved it.

"Minister Lin privately built a dungeon and indiscriminately killed innocent people. He will be executed in three days. His family will be exiled three thousand miles away, and their descendants will not be allowed to enter the capital for the next three generations."

Lord Lin collapsed to the ground after hearing the verdict.

Minister Lin was dissatisfied, "Your Majesty, I am innocent! Aren't you afraid of being condemned in history books for doing this?"

Emperor Yuan looked at him coldly, "How the historians record it is their business. As for how future generations will judge it, it doesn't matter to me if I can't hear it!"

"Building a dungeon privately is already a serious crime, and you still have the nerve to say that you are innocent!" The fifth prince snorted arrogantly.

Emperor Yuan no longer gave Minister Lin a chance to argue. Two imperial guards came in and took the father and son of the Lin family away.

After a while, the commander of the imperial guards went to the Lin Mansion with a team of imperial guards and the imperial edict.

At this moment, the Lin Mansion was peaceful, and the Lin family members had no idea that they were about to face a disaster.

By the time they realized something was wrong, it was already too late.

The imperial guards surrounded the Lin residence and sentenced Minister Lin to death three days later on the charge of corruption. The Lin family's property was confiscated and the rest of the family was exiled three thousand miles away.

During the house search, the imperial guards accidentally discovered the Lin family's privately built dungeon, the eighteen young masters who were imprisoned and dying inside, and a large amount of gold and silver hidden in the dungeon.

Minister Lin's guilt was confirmed. Seeing that the Lin family was doomed and their families were not in danger, the eighteen young masters all pointed out Minister Lin's crimes.

For this reason, Emperor Yuan did not become a tyrant and was praised by the people.

Emperor Yuan happily hugged the queen and kissed her again and again.

It was already evening when Jiang Yueyang found out about this, and she felt that it was karma.

It's not that they didn't report, but that the time has not come.

When other people with guilty consciences saw what happened to Minister Lin, they all weighed whether they should write a letter of apology.

Those who were sentenced to death chose the latter when faced with the choice between themselves and Jiang Yueyang, and hired assassins to kill Jiang Yueyang overnight.

As long as Jiang Yueyang dies, they will be fine!

For this reason, several waves of assassins were ambushed near Jiang's residence at that time, waiting to take action after dark.

In the blink of an eye, the hour of the rat arrived, and the entire Jiang family had already fallen into a deep sleep. (01~03)

Several waves of men in black sneaked into the Jiang family and headed towards Lanyue Pavilion with a clear purpose.

It just happened that they bumped into each other on the way, looked at each other and started fighting.

As the fight went on, one of the killers realized something was wrong, and after asking a question, they found out that their target was the same.

So, several groups of killers decided to join forces to assassinate Jiang Yueyang.
