Chapter 31: A guilty conscience

Lin Gong took Lin Jingdan's hand, his eyes red, "Son, take care."

Lin Jingdan's eyes were also slightly moist.

"Teacher Lin, it's almost time." The official urged him again, and Lin Gong took one last deep look at Lin Jingdan before leaving.

As soon as Lin Gong returned to his residence, Jiang Ge came to find him. He asked anxiously, "How is it? What did he tell you?"

Lin Gong raised his eyes and glanced at him, "Don't worry, Jing Dan won't accuse you."

"That's good, that's good." Jiang Ge relaxed and raised the corners of his mouth.

Lin Gong looked at the smile on Jiang Ge's lips and felt it was extremely dazzling, "Master Jiang doesn't have to be so happy."

Seeing Lin Gong's ugly face, Jiang Ge also knew that he had lost his composure just now, and stopped smiling, "I don't mean anything else, I just think that Jing Dan understands the overall situation, and it is useless to try to bother others at this time.

Even if I can get a few more people to accompany him, his sentence will not be reduced."

"Master Jiang, now that you are getting an advantage, don't behave in front of me. You can go back. I want to be alone for a while." Lin Gong issued an eviction order.

Jiang Ge saw that his face looked ugly after he came back from the prison, and he could probably guess what happened. He said goodbye and turned around and left.

After Jiang Ge left, Lin Gong sat in the room all night.

When Jiang Ge saw Lin Gong again the next day, he saw that his eyes were blue and he looked very weathered. He felt several years older than yesterday.

"Taifu Lin, oh, what's wrong with you?"

Lin Gong ignored him. He thought about it all night last night. He really had no way to get Jing Dan released. After all, there was too much evidence.

After knowing how much money he had embezzled, Lin Gong knew that he could not save him, but he still did not give up. He thought about it all night last night, but he did not think of anything that could save him.

The method he said is the simplest and most effective, which is to give up on him.

If you give up on him, perhaps because of his hard work in the court for so many years, His Majesty will not implicate other members of the Lin family.

At this moment, there was a sudden noise in the yard. Lin Gong frowned and looked at the boy aside, "Go over and see what happened."

"Yes." The boy took the lead and ran towards the direction of the sound.

It turned out that all the officials Li Su had summoned by Jing Yun last night had arrived. Among them were county magistrates, meritorious officers, and officials from the Yamen. At a glance, there were about thirty people.

All officials involved in the connection of sections of the Yellow River are here.

"Magistrate He of Wuzhong County, Magistrate Cui of Zhongwei County, and Magistrate Dong of Jingyuan County, you are all here."

The speaker was Lanzhou County Magistrate Zhang Wei. Because Lanzhou was the farthest away from Yinchuan, he was the last one to arrive.

"Isn't this Magistrate Zhang? You are here too."

"It's been a long journey, so I'm a little late." Zhang Wei said with his hands in hand.

"Master Zhang, you're welcome. You're already here. Come in and sit for a while." Cui Shanyuan said.

They were sitting in the house before, but they went out to pick up Zhang Wei because they saw him coming.

"Okay, let's go in and talk." Zhang Wei said calmly.

Cui Shanyuan, He Renke, and Dong Qiliang took Zhang Wei into the room where they had rested before. As for the officials, they were naturally waiting in the yard outside. The room could not accommodate so many of them.

Lin Gong's servant found out what was going on and hurried back, "Sir, the noise in front is because magistrates and officials from several nearby counties have been summoned to the Governor's Mansion.

There were about thirty people there, so it naturally became noisy when there were more people."

"Call the governor's office? Who called it?" Lin Gong said with an ugly face.

The boy was startled by Lin Gong and hurriedly replied, "Sir, I heard it was Mr. Li Suli and Si Yunlan, the magistrate of Yinchuan."

"Si Yunlan." Lin Gong's eyes darkened slightly. It was because of the discount he handed over that Jing Dan was in this situation today. If it hadn't been for him, none of this would have happened.

Lin Gong's heart was filled with resentment towards Si Yunlan at this moment. He felt that this situation was all caused by him. Lin Gong looked towards the prison of the Governor's Mansion and whispered, "Jing Dan, don't worry, dad will let him

I’m going down to accompany you.”

Suddenly, the door to Lin Gong's room was pushed open hard, "There's someone coming from outside, you know that."

The noise outside was so loud that no one could hear it. "I know, it's the magistrates of several nearby counties. They should have been arrested for a routine matter."

"A routine matter?" Jiang Ge didn't expect Lin Gong's expression to be so calm, "Aren't you afraid that they will involve Lin Jingdan?"

"Afraid? Now that things have happened, there is nothing to be afraid of."

The left and right are just beheadings. Can one head be killed twice?

"Hey, what happened yesterday? Why are you like this today? Do you still want to save your son?" Jiang Ge was so angry that he fell down.

He must have dropped this broken jar too quickly, and it just happened after they met him once.

Seeing Jiang Ge's unbelievable look, Lin Gong did not give in. "Jing Dan embezzled half a million dollars of silver and hid it where he stayed. Now it has been discovered.

And those county magistrates outside, let them eat, drink and have fun, but let them resist stubbornly? Think about it, I'm afraid everything will pop out if you threaten with a knife.

Save my son? Tell me how to save him?"

"Five million taels of silver?!" Jiang Ge never expected that he would be so courageous. The total special funds allocated by the imperial court were only three million taels. The project was only half completed, and he had already embezzled half a million taels.

two.

Jiang Ge's eyes widened. No wonder Lin Gong didn't say anything about saving him today. The physical evidence was there, and the personal evidence was outside.

How can we save this!

Jiang Ge:……

"Since Lin Gongfu knows what's going on, I won't disturb you and go back first." Jiang Ge said and left Lin Gong's room and returned to his own room.

Jiang Ge's butler, Uncle Jiang, closed the door and asked, "Sir, we really don't care about this matter? Then Lin Jingdan won't regret it when he comes to the hall, right?"

Jiang Ge half leaned on the recliner, "Don't worry, it won't happen.

The Huanghe corruption case has nothing to do with me. The most I can do is accept his filial piety, and the crime will not lead to death.

If he can’t survive, his family won’t be able to survive either.”

"Yes, if he wants his family to be well, he must take everything into his own hands." Uncle Jiang clapped his hands and said.



He Renke, Cui Yuanshan, Dong Qiliang, and Zhang Wei sat on stools facing each other.

"Brothers, do you know why we came to Yinchuan this time?" He Renke looked around and saw that they were only drinking tea and making no sound. He couldn't help it anymore.

"Yesterday evening I was having dinner at home. I took the officers and soldiers and went straight in to call me, and then brought me here. No one paid attention to me after I arrived. I was really flustered.
