Without waiting for Lin Zhihuan to respond, Lin Yi continued, ”He's a filial son. He originally wanted to take this money to build a cemetery for his father, but who would have thought that the matchmaker would come knocking on his door. He married a wife and had no choice but to plan this after the harvest of the second year …”
Your majesty, of course we have to obtain it. Let's make a good plan, and we'll definitely be able to lead a peaceful life! ” When Lin Zhihuan heard this, he did not say anything else. The life that Lin Yi spoke of could be considered as smooth and he did not have any big problems. Lin Zhihuan did not know what to say in his heart.
At this time, he heard Lin Yi continue, ”But, in the second year, the village accidentally encountered a flood, and there was no harvest. In a short time, it was filled with grief and hunger, and it was unspeakably bitter …”
When he said the word ”water hazard”, Lin Zhihuan already had a vague plan in his heart. This was truly troublesome. Could it be that Lin Yi was going to investigate him and make a mistake in dealing with the problem of the Jiangnan flood?
As Lin Zhihuan thought of this, he became a bit nervous. He picked up the teacup and took a sip. This tea was not like the teas in Jiangnan in the past. Just where did it come from?
Halfway through Lin Yi's story, he abruptly stopped and stopped speaking. He turned to Lin Zhihuan with a smile and said, ”Sir Lin, can you guess where these tea leaves came from?”
Lin Zhihuan was already trembling in fear when he heard Lin Yi's words. He dropped to his knees and said, ”Your majesty, this humble subject knows his wrongs and this humble subject knows his wrongs. This humble subject says everything, I hope you can spare my pathetic life!”
Lin Yi coldly snorted and said, ”Really? What's wrong with you? ”
This Lin Zhihuan instantly told him everything. As he spoke, he tried to get Lin Yi to spare his life. Lin Yi threw the teacup in his hand onto the ground and said, ”I'll spare your pathetic life?” Who would spare the lives of those affected? One by one, they insulted me behind my back, saying that I was an idiot. What about it? Is this your goal? ”
Lin Yi sighed. Then, he stood up and said to Lin Zhihuan, ”Lin Zhihuan, you are an old official of the Great Ying Empire, right now, I won't blame you. I'll give you one last chance, tomorrow at dawn, you should know what to do, right?”
The Minister of Revenue was a fat boy, and everyone in the court was watching him closely. Normally, in order to protect his position, he would have to tread on thin ice and tread carefully, but now, he had fallen into a difficult situation where he could even preserve his own life. It could also be considered as tragic, but now, what was more important than his own life?
Lin Zhihuan fell to the ground and kowtowed a few times before saying, ”This humble subject knows his wrongs. Thank you, Your Majesty, for sparing my life.”
As he spoke, he placed the flower plume on his head next to Lin Yi and left. As he watched Lin Yi's retreating figure, Lin Yi's anger still had not faded. He thought to himself, how could a mere Minister of Revenue be worth the lives of 100 thousand refugees!
At this moment, a charming voice came from outside. ”Your majesty, chenqie gave you the Silver Ear Lotus Seed Soup. Drink it while it's still hot!”
As soon as he heard this voice, he knew it was Chang Shunning. Lin Yi frowned. He had originally thought that he would be unable to enter Chang Shunning while he was in the Heartrecuperation Hall, but who would have thought that she would actually find this opportunity to enter.
