I am a corrupt official, but they say I am a loyal minister

……

Everyone was shocked.

The empress was also very shocked, watching Lin Beifan open her mouth: "Lin Aiqing, is this your home?"

Lin Beifan nodded, and said very calmly: "Return to Your Majesty, that's right! To be precise, this is the temporary residence I rented!"

"Since renting a house, why not rent better?" An official couldn't help asking.

"My lord, if you are not in charge, you don't know that firewood, rice, oil and salt are expensive!" Lin Beifan felt extremely wronged: "I also want to rent a better one, but my strength does not allow it! This is the capital city, under the feet of the emperor, every inch of land is expensive! Buying a house is expensive, and renting a house is not expensive. Cheap! Do you know how much it will cost me to rent this yard a month?"

Lin Beifan stretched out a finger: "Ten taels of silver! It costs me 10 taels of silver to live a month! It costs 120 taels a year! I was born in an ordinary family, how can I afford this money? With a suitable test preparation environment, I can only reluctantly spend this huge sum of money!"

"After spending this huge sum of money, I became a poor farmer, not much different from a beggar on the street, but dressed more decently! I usually live frugally and don't dare to spend a penny more! I don't dare to move around. Afraid of being hungry!"

The empress shook her head and sighed: "Lin Aiqing, I never imagined that you were so miserable before!"

"Yes, I used to suffer too much, mainly due to poverty!"

"I'm really too poor! I have no father, no mother, no brothers, relatives and friends. I have to rely on myself!" Lin Beifan recalled the past: "I vaguely remember that a year ago, a thief came to visit my house! At that time, I was Hiding under the bed, I didn't dare to breathe out, for fear of scaring the other party away! Do you know what I was thinking at the time?"

"What are you thinking?" the Empress asked.

"At that time, how I wish he could find some money!" Lin Beifan covered his face.

Empress and officials: "Ahem!"

"In the end, he found nothing and ran away with tears in his eyes! During the holidays, he threw two bags of rice at my house!"

Empress and officials: "Ahem!"

Lin Beifan was so grateful that he wiped away tears secretly: "I relied on the thief's help to survive 365 days a year! He made me feel that there is true love in the world and true love in the world!"

"Is it so miserable!" An official couldn't help but said: "I remember that with fame, the court will subsidize you! Mr. Lin, you won three yuan in a row, logically speaking, it shouldn't be so miserable!"

"You're right, the government subsidy is very generous, it's impossible to live in such misery!"

"To be honest, I don't quite believe it either!"

……

"You only know one thing and don't know the other!"

Lin Beifan said sadly: "The main reason is that I was promoted too fast! I have won three yuan in three years, and I have become the number one before I can receive the government subsidy! If I take the exam a little slower, I should not be so miserable!"

Baiguan: "Ahem..."

He gave Lin Beifan an angry look!

This guy is definitely pretending!

Is it not good to win three yuan in a row?

Is this the dream of many scholars?

You think it's too fast?

Outrageous!

The queen laughed softly.

She found that Lin Beifan was getting more and more interesting!

Cry poor and cry so fresh and refined, and pretend to be so fresh and refined!

But what he said was so well-founded, so angry that people wanted to beat him up!

"So Master Lin, this is why you are so greedy?" Admonisher Yao Zheng sarcastically said, "Before becoming an official, you lived a hard life, and after becoming an official, you are desperately greedy to make up for your previous losses?"

"Master Yao, don't confuse right and wrong! I read the books of Confucius and Mencius, and I practice the rituals of a sage! If you continue to talk like this, I will sue you for defamation!" Lin Beifan retorted.

"Whether it's true or not, you can tell at a glance!" Yao Zheng pushed open the door and said loudly, "Search for me! Search carefully and carefully, don't let me lose even an inch of land!"

"Yes, my lord!" A group of officers and soldiers rushed in.

"Go back to your lord, there is nothing in the living room!"

"Go back to your lord, there is nothing in the main room!"

"Go back to my lord, there is nothing in the guest room!"

"Go back to my lord, there is nothing in the kitchen!"

……

In the end, all the officers and soldiers who searched stood in front of them together, expressing that they had received nothing.

Yao Zheng was dumbfounded, and all the officials present were dumbfounded.

Yao Zheng said anxiously: "How could there be no one? It's impossible!"

Lin Beifan triumphantly said, "What else can we find? Look at my house, it's completely bare, and you can see everything at a glance. Even poor thieves would be embarrassed to do it! If there is anything, you can tell at a glance!"

He distributed the money before because of this consequence.

As long as you can't find out, it will be difficult to convict me.

"Impossible not... Tell me! Did you transfer ahead of time?" Yao Zheng said excitedly.

Lin Beifan spread out his hands: "Where can I transfer? I'm so poor that I just beg for food!"

At this moment, Lin Beifan's eyes couldn't help turning aside.

This small look was captured by Yao Zheng.

He followed Lin Beifan's eyes and saw a big tree. The soil under the big tree seemed to have just been loosened, and it was a little damp.

Yao Zheng laughed triumphantly: "Haha! I see, Lin Beifan, you must have hidden the jewels under this big tree!"

Lin Beifan immediately shook his head: "No! Absolutely nothing!"

"Why not? I saw it just now!" Yao Zheng came under the big tree, stepped on the ground that had just been loosened, and said proudly: "Look at this soil, it has just been refurbished! So, you must have taken the stolen silver. Hiding here, I said, right?"

Everyone stared, and they saw the land that had just been refurbished.

At this time, Lin Beifan's home had been searched, but nothing was found.

So, the jewel 8 achievement is hidden there.

Lin Beifan panicked: "Master Yao, absolutely not, don't think about it!"

"I think it must be!" Yao Zheng said loudly: "Come here, give me a shovel, I want to dig it out myself!"

"Master Yao, don't do this, you will regret it!"

"Shut up! I'll regret it if I can't dig it out!"

Yao Zheng was digging excitedly with a shovel in his hand.

After just a few digs, a hole was dug.

At this moment, a black figure jumped out from inside and bit Yao Zheng's hand.

Yao Zheng yelled in pain: "Oh...snake! I was bitten by a snake, help me!".

Chapter 6 The empress is so nice, be less greedy in the future!

Ten minutes later, Yao Zheng healed the wound.

Fortunately, the snake was not poisonous, otherwise it would not be so safe and sound now.

However, the other party still looked at Lin Beifan angrily: "Lin Beifan, why didn't you say it earlier?"

Lin Beifan was very wronged: "You told me to shut up!"

Yao Zheng was speechless, and quibbled: "Why didn't you say it before, hesitantly, you deliberately wanted to harm me?"

Lin Beifan was even more aggrieved: "How dare I say that this is not because I am afraid of disturbing the holy car? The snake is so disgusting, it would be bad if it scares His Majesty! That's why I dare not say it, and I dare not let you dig it!"

Yao Zheng was speechless again.

The Empress suppressed a smile and said: "Okay, let's leave it at that! Lin Aiqing was also sympathetic to me, so she didn't say anything! Yao Aiqing was also eager to monitor and was responsible for her duty, that's why she was harmed by this poisonous snake! Both of you are right!"

"What Your Majesty said is absolutely true!" Lin Beifan nodded immediately.

Yao Zheng was extremely wronged in his heart.

If I co-operate, I will bite for nothing?

Obviously it was this bastard who was playing tricks, causing him to fall into the trap!

This fellow should not be a son of man!

I'm already old, and you're still cheating on me!

am i easy?

"Since nothing was found, Lin Aiqing should be innocent, let's drive back to the palace!" The empress waved her hand.

"Hold on, Your Majesty, the old minister has something to say!" Yao Zheng shouted.

"Yao Aiqing, what else do you need?"

Yao Zheng gave Lin Beifan a hard look, and said respectfully, "Your Majesty, although no evidence has been found, it does not prove Lin Beifan's innocence! I have invited the people who ransacked the house together yesterday, and they can prove what the old minister said. Word!"

A group of people came up tremblingly.

These people were the ones who accompanied Lin Beifan to ransack the house yesterday.

"Meet Your Majesty, long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

"Excuse me! Tell me about you!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

They told everything about what happened yesterday.

The Empress looked at Lin Beifan with a half-smile: "Lin Aiqing, what do you have to say?"

Lin Beifan was very calm: "Return to Your Majesty, they are simply framing Zhongliang!"

"Why did you say that?" The Empress smiled meaningfully.

Lin Beifan's voice was sonorous: "I don't know why they joined forces to frame me and frame me for injustice, but they are not afraid of the shadow, if they haven't done it, they haven't done it!"

The empress rolled her eyes when she heard this!

One set of lies, the other is true!

If I didn't know what kind of person you are, I would have dragged you out and executed you long ago!

"Besides, Your Majesty, I suspect that they were bought!" Lin Beifan said loudly, "If Your Majesty doesn't believe it, you can send someone to search their homes! After they ransacked their homes, all the reasons will naturally become clear!"

The group of witnesses suddenly panicked: "No!"

The empress narrowed her eyes, waved her hand, and several Jin Yiwei stepped forward to listen to the order.

"Give me a copy of their home now!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

An hour later.

The empress looked at the dazzling array of treasures with a gloomy expression.

These were all looted from the witness's home, and the total value reached 30 taels.

And these witnesses had already turned pale with fright.

He kowtowed non-stop, praying for his life.

"Your Majesty, I was wrong, please spare my life!"

"Your Majesty, please show mercy!"

……

Lin Beifan said carelessly: "Look, Your Majesty, they are all petty officials, but they are all richer than me in the end! All their wealth has far exceeded what they worshiped! They are just a bunch of corrupt officials, what is there to say about them?" Believe it? They can harm the national interest for their own benefit! Naturally, they can also frame Zhongliang for their own benefit!"

The empress flicked her sleeves in displeasure: "Come here, pull them down and chop them up!"

"Your Majesty, spare my life!"

"His Majesty!"
