Jinyiwei's psychic case: the opening is Lingbo Weibu

Chapter 787

"Your Majesty, what is your Majesty's order?"

"How can you arbitrarily detain the Prime Minister of the current dynasty just because of your words 'Your Majesty's oral order'?"

"Just because you said 'fight to the bitter end', you can kill people at will in the Prime Minister's Mansion?"

"Looking back at the entire Ming Dynasty, which emperor would dare to be so careless? Which assistant magistrate of the Pacification Office would dare to be so arrogant?"

The words that suddenly rang in everyone's ears also made Xu Shan and others subconsciously turn their heads to look.

I saw an old woman, surrounded by her female relatives, walking towards this side in a hurry.

Seeing her appear, even Lin Ruopu hurried forward and respectfully called out, "Mother!"

The guards who accompanied her shouted respectfully, "Old Lady!"

This woman is none other than the mistress of the Yangzhou Lin family - Old Madam Lin!

When the late emperor saw her old age, he treated her with respect as a junior!

Before Zhu Youwei ascended the throne, accompanied by the Heavenly Master, he did not come to worship his ancestors, but took a detour to come here to pay his respects to her.

Cao Zhengchun, the famous supervisor of the two factories in the Ming Dynasty, was a resource she discovered and provided to her despite all objections.

Although she is not the biological mother of Empress Dowager Lin Ruoyun, she can have her current status entirely thanks to the advice of this old lady.

After the witchcraft rebellion, Zhu Youwei's biological mother and Lin Ruoyun competed for favor in the harem...

She suddenly died in the palace, and her father was behind it!

Lin Ruopu’s ability to become the leader of the Donglin Party was four points due to her strength, and six points came from the foundation of the Yangzhou Lin family that she was in charge of!

In the past ten years, she has been a vegetarian and has rarely appeared in public.

But today...

However, she was wearing the phoenix-tail skirt bestowed by the previous emperor, holding the only two dragon-headed canes in the Ming Dynasty, and came here with her female relatives.

With the blessing of many halos, her position in the Ming Dynasty is extremely important!

Any official, even Zhu Youwei... including the Heavenly Master present, would respectfully address her as 'Old Lady Lin'.

But Xu Shan was the only one who, after a moment of silence, asked in front of everyone: "Who is she?"

"Ok?"

After hearing what Xu Shan said, even Old Lady Lin herself frowned and glared at the guy.

Li Yuanfang, who had been in the Beijing circle for so many years, quickly explained for him: "Sir, this is the mistress of the Lin family and the mother of Prime Minister Lin - Old Lady Lin!"

"She was even canonized as a First-Rank Consort by the late Emperor."

"Oh, you're so important?"

After saying this, Xu Shan turned his head and clasped his fists symbolically, then said, "I pay my respects to Old Lady Lin."

"I am on official business and cannot perform the ceremony. Please forgive me."

"Well... let's move quickly and take the person away. Don't disturb Old Lady Lin's meditation."

"Yes."

'boom! '

When Xu Shan finished speaking, several Jinyiwei were about to step forward to arrest Lin Ruopu. Old Lady Lin, holding a dragon-headed cane, immediately started to chisel the ground, making a loud noise.

"Who dares?"

"Old Lady, we are also acting on orders."

Mr. Xu, with a forced smile on his face, stepped forward and spoke patiently.

"Where's the imperial edict? Using 'Your Majesty's oral instructions' to deceive the Prime Minister who has worked so diligently for the Ming Dynasty for so many years?"

"Your Majesty, aren't you afraid of chilling the hearts of scholars across the world?"

Hearing this, Xu Shan immediately smiled and replied, "Old Lady, what you said is true... Prime Minister Lin works diligently, but he still receives a salary every month, right?"

"You've taken advantage of your position to seek benefits for the Lin family."

"As for what you said about the world's scholars being discouraged..."

"That's nonsense. From what I've researched on the 'Imperial Examination Case', it's clear..."

"If the Donglin Party is not eliminated, the children of the poor and the common people will never have a chance to rise!"

After Xu Shan finished speaking, the nanny accompanying Old Lady Lin growled, "How dare you!"

"Ok?"

When Zhang Liansong heard the other party interrupting, he subconsciously prepared to rush forward, but was stopped by Xu Shan.

"Since Your Majesty ascended the throne, over 70% of the successful candidates in the imperial examinations have been controlled by the Donglin Party. The remaining 30%, after entering the court as officials, either attached themselves to the Donglin Party or were exiled to remote and cold lands."

"Old Lady, I'm just stating an objective fact. I don't mean to offend you!"

"We are just following orders!"

"Please, old lady, do me a favor!"

Xu Shan bowed again, which can be said to have given the old man enough face.

He always adheres to the principle of using courtesy before force, no matter which mountain he goes to or which temple he visits!

"What if I don't give you this convenience?"

"Xu Shan, listen carefully to me: Without the imperial decree, Yuan Tiangang would not have come here in person to explain the reason..."

"No matter who comes today, no one can take my son away."

"Also, regarding the four servants killed by your Jinyiwei and the butler who was bullied..."

"Your Majesty, we must give our Lin family an explanation."

After Old Lady Lin said this in a domineering manner, the hypocritical smile on Xu Shan's face was slowly replaced by a cold look.

He no longer bends over, but holds his head high!

He shook his wrinkled official uniform and immediately asked, "Old Lady, you are making it very difficult for us to do this!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the nanny who had just taken the conversation took a step forward and replied, "If it's difficult, don't do it."

"Our old lady's words will only be said once."

"roll!"

After hearing what the other party said, Xu Shan put his hands behind his back and looked up at the sky at a 45-degree angle.

'bass! ’

'Sizzle.'

next second...

Zhang Liansong, who couldn't hold it back any longer, cut the nanny's neck with a knife!

"what!"

'Plop.'

As she fell to the ground, a shrill scream rang out in the huge scene.

After seeing this scene, Lin Ruopu pointed at Xu Shan angrily and said, "You, you guys..."

Before he could finish his words, Zhang Liansong, wielding his embroidered spring sword, pointed at the barely breathing nanny and screamed, "What the hell are you?"

"How dare you bar your teeth at my master again and again?"

After Zhang Liansong finished speaking, Xu Shan withdrew his gaze, stepped forward, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "How dare you!"

"The old lady is at least a first-rank imperial minister."

"How could you kill someone in front of her?"

Hearing this, Zhang Liansong replied unconvincedly, "Sir, we are handling this case by imperial decree!"

"We were at Jilong Mountain, and we even slaughtered the Celestial Beings under imperial order. Do we still care about a first-rank imperial edict?"

After Zhang Liansong finished speaking, Xu Shan patted his head and said, "Yes! Publicly, we are the emperor's personal soldiers, and we only obey the emperor's orders; privately, we are just warriors, paying tribute to the swords in our hands and the brothers beside us..."

At this point, Xu Shan looked at Old Lady Lin with a sullen face and said, "For both public and private reasons, there's no need for me to look at the face of an outsider."

"Arrests!"

Upon hearing Xu Shan's words, Old Lady Lin, who had been respected for nearly her entire life, flew into a rage and said, "Let me see, who dares?"

As she finished speaking, the people accompanying her and the guards all stood in front of her.

Seeing this scene, Mr. Xu took a step back.

"Be careful, don't let the blood splash on the old lady."

"Yes!"
