Zongwu: Start as Jinyiwei, invincible and powerful!
Chapter 416: Arrest Zhang Julu!
"What's the matter?" Lin Fan looked at Taoist Shi Yan and asked.
Shi Yan asked, "Would it be possible for me and my fellow martial artists to collect and bury the bodies of the Four Heavenly Masters?"
In fact, this was not just Shi Yan's idea. Some Taoist people among the onlookers had the same idea as Shi Yan.
However, Taoist Shi Yan and Lin Fan were relatively familiar with each other, so those people from the Taoist sect pushed Taoist Shi Yan out.
"Okay," Lin Fan nodded slightly and said casually.
Anyway, the four great heavenly masters are already dead. They are just a few corpses. It doesn't matter how they are dealt with. It won't have any impact on him. It's okay to let Taoist Shi Yan and others restrain them.
"Thank you, Lord Lin!" Taoist Shi Yan breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this and quickly thanked Lin Fan.
Lin Fan waved his hand, not taking it to heart, and then looked at the people around him and said:
"Lin has received news that the four Heavenly Masters from Mount Longhu rushed to the capital and attacked me because they were instigated by the Prime Minister Zhang Julu."
"The only ministers left by the late emperor were Zhang Julu and me. Zhang Julu bewitched the four Heavenly Masters, hoping to use their power to get rid of me so that he could dominate the court."
"As for the affairs of the imperial court, I hope that all the heroes of the martial arts world will refrain from interfering, lest you end up following in the footsteps of the four Heavenly Masters of Mount Longhu."
After saying this, without caring about the reactions of the people in the martial arts world, Lin Fan turned around and headed down Fengming Mountain.
When Lin Fan learned that the four great celestial masters of Mount Longhu wanted to attack him, he already had a plan in mind.
The four great celestial masters' attack on him gave him an opportunity, an opportunity to get rid of Zhang Julu in a legitimate way.
Although, some people who are interested may know that the four great heavenly masters of Longhu Mountain coming to deal with Lin Fan was most likely the intention of the young emperor Zhu Jun.
But this kind of thing cannot be brought up openly.
In the court of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the two people with the highest status after the young emperor were Lin Fan and Zhang Julu, the chief minister of the cabinet.
Lin Fan and Zhang Julu were both ministers of state left by the late emperor, but they had always been in opposition, and almost everyone in the court knew about it.
Therefore, it was very reasonable for Lin Fan to directly let Zhang Julu take the blame for the little emperor.
Even if some court officials knew the truth in their hearts, they would not say it out loud.
Given the current situation of the Great Zhou court, they couldn't allow the young emperor to completely fall out with Lin Fan, the powerful emperor.
In this case, the only option left is to sacrifice Zhang Julu, the chief minister of the cabinet.
When Yao Yue, Lian Xing, Jiang Yuyan, Ah Zhu and other girls saw Lin Fan leaving, they quickly followed him without hesitation.
Immediately afterwards, Cao Shaoqin and Yu Huatian also quickly left with the people from the East and West Factories respectively.
"You guys go home first, I still have some things to deal with," Lin Fan said to Yao Yue and other women after returning to Yong'an City.
When Yao Yue and other girls heard this, they knew that Lin Fan was going to deal with Zhang Julu, so they naturally had no objection.
They could not help in dealing with the court officials, and this matter was not dangerous for Lin Fan, so they immediately turned around and returned to the Yongyi Marquis' Mansion.
After the women left, Lin Fan rushed directly to the Northern Pacification Office.
"See the Commander!"
Seeing Lin Fan coming, the Jinyiwei of the Northern Pacification Office bowed and saluted.
A short while later, Dong Tianbao, the governor of the Northern Pacification Division, also hurried over and knelt on one knee. "I, Dong Tianbao, pay my respects to you, Your Excellency!"
"Get up," Lin Fan said calmly, waving his hand. "Call the two Jinyiwei generals and accompany me to the cabinet. Also, have Lin Pingzhi lead the team to search and confiscate Zhang Julu's residence."
"I humbly obey my orders!"
Dong Tianbao agreed respectfully and hurried to make arrangements.
Although Dong Tianbao has a rebellious personality, he is a person rewarded by Lin Fan through signing in on the system. He is 100% loyal to Lin Fan and will carry out Lin Fan's orders without any compromise.
Immediately, the Jinyiwei split into two groups, and Lin Pingzhi led a hundred people to Zhang Julu's mansion.
Lin Fan took Dong Tianbao and a hundred Jinyiwei and headed towards the cabinet.
When Lin Fan and the Jinyiwei rushed to the cabinet, the chief minister Zhang Julu, the minister of the Ministry of Revenue, and a group of cabinet assistants were processing some documents.
There are three cabinet ministers in total, namely the Prime Minister Zhang Julu, the Minister of Revenue and Lin Fan.
Seeing Lin Fan coming with the Jinyiwei in a menacing manner, Zhang Julu and the Minister of Revenue's expressions changed slightly.
Zhang Julu looked at Lin Fan and said in a deep voice, "Sir Lin, you've come here with the Jinyiwei in such a threatening manner. What are you planning to do?"
Lin Fan said calmly, "Master Zhang, have you forgotten the good things you did?"
"What good things have I done?" Zhang Julu said in a deep voice.
Lin Fan smiled faintly. "You wanted to dominate the court, but with me here, you couldn't do that. So you tried to trick the Dragon Tiger Mountain Celestial Master, who has close ties to the royal family, into coming and getting rid of me, clearing the way for you."
"You are ambitious and collude with people in the underworld to exclude those who are different from you. For both public and private reasons, this marquis has no choice but to take action."
Zhang Julu looked at Lin Fan deeply, his eyes changing for a while, but he remained silent.
Zhang Julu naturally knew about the four great celestial masters from Mount Longhu coming to the capital and challenging Lin Fan to a duel.
In fact, Zhang Julu once advised the little emperor not to do this.
Unfortunately, the little emperor did not listen to him.
Zhang Julu also knew about the decisive battle between Lin Fan and the Four Heavenly Masters today. He didn't expect that Lin Fan would return so soon and attack him directly.
In this case, the Four Heavenly Masters have obviously failed completely.
However, Zhang Julu didn’t know that the four great heavenly masters were all dead now.
The Minister of Revenue hesitated for a moment and asked cautiously, "Lord Lin, is there any misunderstanding here?"
Lin Fan turned his head, his gaze landing on the Minister of Revenue, and asked with a smile, "What? Zhang Julu hasn't denied it, and you want to speak up for him?"
When the Minister of Revenue heard Lin Fan's words, his expression suddenly changed. He quickly said, "That is not my intention. I have some matters to attend to at the Ministry of Revenue, so I will take my leave now."
At this time, the Minister of Revenue was worried that if he continued to stay here, he would be implicated.
"Go ahead," Lin Fan said casually, waving his hand.
After Zhang Julu was captured, some matters in the court still needed to be handled, so the Minister of Revenue would not be touched for the time being.
"I have a clear conscience and have done my duty to Your Majesty. I have failed the late emperor's trust." At this moment, Zhang Julu suddenly spoke coldly.
"Lord Lin knows the truth of the matter. Are you worthy of the late emperor's trust by being so arrogant and domineering?"
"Alright, you should take care of yourself first." Lin Fan glanced at Zhang Julu, too lazy to talk any more nonsense with him. "Take Master Zhang back to the Imperial Prison and interrogate him thoroughly to see what good deeds Master Zhang has done over the years."
The following words were naturally directed at Dong Tianbao.
"Yes, my lord!"
Dong Tianbao agreed and immediately ordered his Jinyiwei to escort Zhang Julu out of the cabinet and take him to the Jinyiwei prison.
