Tragic death and rebirth, the daughter of a general poisoned the government and the country

"I?"

Lin Jiang looked at Lin Minglang in disbelief as he looked expectant. How could he get together 100,000 taels of silver?

"Yes, you are the only one who has access to so much silver."

"You mean... absolutely not! This is courting death!"

Lin Jiang shook his head and flatly refused. He was still working in the Ministry of Revenue as a Deputy Director. Although the position was not high, it was very lucrative.

After all, the Ministry of Revenue is the purse of Emperor Ming and even the entire national treasury.

However, every penny handled by the Ministry of Revenue had a clear source, detailed records, and was verified by special officials, and no mistakes or omissions were allowed.

What's more, he was just a clerk, how could he move so much money? !

Lin Minglang looked at Lin Jiang mysteriously.

"You know the current situation of our mansion. If I fall, you won't be able to hold on to your position for long, and our mansion will be completely ruined."

"No, there's also Rou'er. As long as she marries the Fifth Prince..."

"Would the Fifth Prince want a useless relative?!"

Lin Jiang's words were interrupted by Lin Minglang's sharp voice, and he reacted instantly.

Yes, if he and his father could not keep their official positions, the Fifth Prince would never need such useless relatives as them, and by then Lin Qingrou would surely disappear quietly in the backyard of the Fifth Prince's mansion.

They have completely lost the chance to turn things around.

Seeing that Lin Jiang understood what he meant, Lin Minglang breathed a sigh of relief. Although his son was smart, he was sometimes too conceited and unable to listen to other people's advice.

"What does father mean?"

"I heard that your majesty allocated a lot of money for disaster relief during the snowstorm in Xuzhou a few months ago?"

Lin Jiang's heart skipped a beat. After the snowstorm in Xuzhou, a large amount of silver was needed for the distribution of supplies and post-disaster reconstruction. This was not something that could be accomplished in a short period of time. The first two installments of disaster relief silver had already been allocated to Xuzhou.

In the next two days, the last disaster relief will be issued, a total of 300,000 taels of silver.

"Although a lot of relief money will be stripped away layer by layer every time it is distributed, but now is a sensitive period of purge in the court. No one will easily touch the relief money at this time, otherwise it will be a death sentence for your majesty!"

Lin Minglang waved his hand nonchalantly.

"Even if they really have the guts to skin you, the silver they get won't fall into your hands, so what's the use of it?"

"Then what does father mean?" Lin Jiang was puzzled.

"Just steal the silver."

!!!

Lin Jiang looked at Lin Minglang in disbelief. He just took it out? Was he going to let himself die?

"Father, do you want your son to exchange his life for this silver?"

"No, no, have you forgotten who your immediate boss is?"

Lin Jiang's anger disappeared instantly. His boss was the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, Ye Shibo, the second master of the Duke of Qing's Mansion and Lin Yushu's second uncle!

Lin Minglang's eyes sparkled, "There is work to be done, money to be taken, but the blame must be taken by someone else!"

Lin Jiang showed the same sinister smile as Lin Minglang.

"I understand, son. However, this matter needs to be informed to His Royal Highness the Fifth Prince before we can make detailed plans."

……

Nan Rongjing has been very busy lately, busy arresting people, busy killing people, and busy skinning people.

There were more than 300 people in Nan Heying's mansion, and more than 300 people in Hu Ge Lao's mansion. Nearly 700 people were arrested and interrogated.

The entire Yulin Guard was so busy that they had no time to rest. After finally killing all these guys, Emperor Ming began a large-scale purge in the court and the country.

Thus, Nan Rongjing began a new round of arresting people and killing people...

"Your Highness, the spies in the palace reported that His Majesty is considering granting Princess Shuyi a marriage."

With a click, the document in Nan Rongjing's hand fell to the ground.

Mu Shang pretended not to see it, calmly picked it up and put it back on the table, muttering to himself.

"Now that Lin Minglang has become the Duke of the Protectorate, his status has risen again, and he has become the most powerful official in the court. His son Lin Ling is a cavalry general, who is also brave and good at fighting. He is also destined to be the future Duke of the State. So the only one left by Lin Minglang's side is the unmarried Princess Shuyi."

"Now, the door frame of the Duke of Huguo's mansion has been lowered by an inch by those who want to marry Princess Shuyi. Even His Majesty receives more than a dozen petitions for marriage every day, which bothers him. That's why he decided to personally grant Princess Shuyi a marriage."

Nan Rongjing touched his violently beating heart and asked somewhat unnaturally.

"What are your choices, Your Majesty?"

"It's strange to say that when His Majesty was selecting people, he actually asked the Imperial Master, Taoist Lingxu."

"Master Lingxu?"

Nan Rongjing's eyebrows were like swords, and when he narrowed his eyes slightly, he was like a cheetah spying at its prey, which made people feel cold in their hearts.

He still remembered that when Nan Huaishuo designed the fireworks trap to make Lin Yushu be labeled a evil woman who brought disaster to the country, Taoist Lingxu also cooperated.

It is possible that Nan Huaishuo had intervened in the Imperial Observatory, but Nan Rongjing had never found out what the connection was between Taoist Lingxu and Nan Huaishuo, why he had to follow the Imperial Observatory's words that day, and even said such bullshit as "God will give a clear indication".

Nan Rongjing didn't know whether Taoist Lingxu had such a high ability. If he really did, he would never say such a thing, because the evil woman who brought disaster to the country did not exist at all. Everything was just a trick of Nan Huaishuo.

Since Taoist Lingxu can cooperate with Nan Huaishuo, they are most likely in the same group.

Although Lin Yushu later told him that she was able to escape that time thanks to Taoist Lingxu's advice, Nan Rongjing still didn't believe him.

Why does he want to help Lin Yushu? What is his purpose? Is he Nan Huaishuo's man?

Nan Rongjing, who has always known everything about the Yulin Guard, discovered a mysterious person for the first time. Taoist Lingxu made him at a loss as to where to start. There was no problem with his origin or experience. Taoist Lingxu's life was as simple as a blank sheet of paper.

But the more this happened, the more Nan Rongjing felt that he was not an ordinary person.

Mu Shang was also puzzled.

"I also don't understand why Princess Shuyi's marriage needs to be consulted with the Imperial Master. After consulting the Imperial Master, His Majesty did not list any candidates for marriage, but summoned Princess Shuyi into the palace."

"She entered the palace?"

Nan Rongjing stood up suddenly and almost overturned the table.

Just as Nan Rongjing and his servant were talking, Lin Yushu arrived at the gate of the palace in a sedan chair.

This palace trapped her for two years in her previous life. In this life, she also came here many times for various reasons, but this time, she always felt that things were not simple.

Recently, her marriage has become a major issue that needs to be resolved urgently in the court, which makes Lin Yushu laugh and cry.

These court officials received salaries and enjoyed the respect of the people, but they actually brought a woman's marriage to the court to discuss it. It's really laughable.

Lin Yushu was disdainful in her heart, but she also told her father and brother that she didn't want to get married now, and would reject any proposal from anyone.

However, she could not refuse Emperor Ming's marriage proposal.

She had a strong premonition that whether she was willing or not, her marriage would be settled today!
