The Regent's Tender Darling

Chapter 331 Implicating the Household Department

Hube?

When Yan Sihan heard this, he immediately ordered: "Come here! Go and bring the Minister of Hubu!"

Regardless of whether what Lin Shen said is true or false, those involved need to be interrogated.

Lin Jiaojiao was stunned for a moment and asked in a low voice: "Your Majesty, shouldn't there be a Minister of Household Affairs?"

Seeing this, Yan Sihan gently patted the back of her hand and whispered: "There is something hidden in this. I can't tell you more about it."

Hidden secret? Although she became curious, since it was inconvenient to tell her, she refused to be curious.

Han Changgao continued: "Who instructed you?"

Lin Shen didn't speak at this time, but raised his head slightly and stared at Lin Jiaojiao, the regent princess who had promised him to protect his son.

She could see what Lin Shen was worried about, so she calmly nodded slightly to show that the agreement stood.

After receiving this response, Lin Shen told the whole story: "The guilty minister heard that his wife and children had drowned in the river, and he left the capital in despair."

Although he did not see the corpses of his wife and children with his own eyes at that time, he was so frustrated that he was afraid of seeing the corpses of his wife and children. He ran out of the capital like crazy out of grief.

Then he continued: "The sinner wanted to end his miserable life outside the city, but he was saved by a Taoist priest. The man called himself Taiping Taoist. He told the sinner that the sufferings in the world were all due to the hypocritical and lewd people in the court, but It is not easy to change the world. He asked the guilty minister to change the world with him. "

"The guilty minister agreed. Taiping Taoist gave the guilty minister two taels of silver and asked the guilty minister to go back to his hometown Anyang County to wait. He said that he would contact the guilty minister. Not long after he returned home, the guilty minister was recommended by the local county magistrate to become the local county magistrate. Cheng, then Taiping Taoist gave the guilty minister a piece of evidence that the county magistrate searched for people's anointing, and asked the guilty minister to take it to sue the state official. "

"For more than ten years, the guilty minister has slowly been promoted from a small county magistrate to the position of minister of the Ministry of Industry. Taiping Taoist has not appeared again in these more than ten years. During this period, he only sent a letter, which said four words: Waiting for good news. It was not until the end of last year that the regent ordered the rebuilding of Jia's granary, which had been in disrepair, and Taiping Taoism appeared in front of the criminals again. "

"The task given by Taoist Taiping to the criminal is to turn a blind eye to this matter. Taoist Taiping will find a way to transfer this money, and the criminal only needs to help hide it."

After hearing this, Han Changgao asked: "Who is this Taiping Taoist's name?"

Lin Shen shook his head: "The guilty minister doesn't know."

It doesn't look like he is hiding anything, but he really doesn't know anything.

Lin Jiaojiao thought in her mind, who is this Taiping Taoist? How could a Taoist priest do such evil things?

At this time, the people who went to arrest the Minister of Hubu came back and reported: "Prince Regent, Mr. Han, the Minister of Hubu took sick leave five days ago and has not returned yet."

sick leave? Lin Jiaojiao was suspicious, then she looked at Yan Sihan, and saw that Yan Sihan's face was gloomy, and he seemed to have thought about it.

Lin Shen had already been interrogated, and the Ministry of Punishment had already sentenced him. Since the Chinese New Year was coming soon, he decided to wait until after the Chinese New Year.

This result was the best outcome for Lin Shen. When he left, Lin Shen couldn't help but look at Lin Jiaojiao one more time. Her eyes seemed to be filled with tears. He hoped that the regent Princess would keep her word.

If he had known that his son was still alive, he would not have embarked on this path.

The Taiping Taoist Lin Shen said was the driving force behind this case. From what he was called, he should be a Taoist or something like that, but now Taoist temples in Danan are registered with the imperial court!

After Lin Shen confessed, the Criminal Department immediately went to investigate! No one named Taiping Taoist has been found here.
