Chapter 1814: Seeking Death in Vain

Chapter 142: ChoiceChapter 1814: Seeking Death Unnecessarily

He vehemently defended himself: "Hu Qianhu has sharp eyes. While it's true that the Lin family took out the silver from the money house, they have always minded their own business and never spread a word of rumors to anyone. They certainly haven't said a bad word about the imperial treasury's money house. Someone is framing us!"

Lin Huaizhang's words came from the heart.

The Lin family was indeed pressured to bring the silver back. The person they dealt with also intentionally or unintentionally hinted that the Lin family should publicize this matter among the people. But Lin Huaizhang dared not. Going to forcefully take the silver back had already offended the court, and spreading rumors would be equivalent to provoking the court to its death.

So Lin Huaizhang still had a trump card, pretending to be clueless and feigning ignorance. The other party didn't push further either.

Soon after, similar rumors began to spread among the people, and they quickly became out of control. The public lined up at banks to withdraw their money.

Lin Huaizhang knew that this was the work of a big shot from Jinling pulling the strings behind the scenes. The other party's influence was immense, causing ripples across the entire country. Su and Hangzhou were just one tiny ripple among countless others created by their actions.

Hu Fei smiled meaningfully, not knowing whether he believed Lin Huaizhang or not.

But whether you believe it or not, it really doesn't matter.

"Enter."

Hu Fei calmly ordered, "Lin Huaizhang spread rumors and slander, recklessly criticizing government policy, and attempting to mislead the people. Bind Lin Huaizhang to my Qianhu's command and seal his mansion. No one is allowed near the Lin Mansion without permission..."

"Hold on!"

Lin Huaiyu roared, "What right do you have to arrest my brother and seal off the Lin Mansion!"

Hu Fei's attitude turned cold as he said, "Did you not understand what Ben Qianhu said Lin Huaizhang spread rumors, slandered the government, and attempted to mislead the people. Which of these three charges is not a serious crime"

Lin Huaiyu clenched his fists and roared: "You're trying to frame us! Our Lin family has always been honest and upright. How could we possibly do what you say To put it plainly, aren't you just because of this silver..."

"Waiyu!"

Lin Huaizhang shouted loudly, interrupting Lin Huaiyu's words.

"Are you looking for death"

Lin Huai Zhang stared fixedly at Lin Huai Yu, his voice low. "Right now they've only captured me. If you say anything more, the entire Lin family will be wiped out, not a single person or animal left. Is that what you truly want!"

Lin Huaiyu looked at Lin Huachang in disbelief, his voice trembling, "Big brother, am I just going to watch helplessly as you're taken away They are also going to seal off the Lin Mansion. Once it's sealed, we..."

"Enough!"

Lin Huaizhang interrupted Lin Huayi's words, took a deep breath, turned to Hu Fei and said: "Hu Qianhu, we will definitely execute the orders of the Jinyiwei in full. I will make the Lin family fully cooperate. The seals that should be sealed will be sealed, and I will also go with you. However, I beg Hu Qianhu, in view of the past friendship, can you allow me to say a few words to my younger brother"

Hu Fei glanced at the two brothers, Lin Huai Zhang, without saying a word, but silently stepped back a pace, as if agreeing.

Lin Huaizhang took a deep breath, gave Hu Fei a grateful look, then pulled Lin Huairu aside and whispered, "Huairu, from now on, the burden of the Lin family will be on your shoulders..."

Lin Huaiyu's eyes turned red. The two brothers had a very close relationship, thanks to the proper upbringing they received from their deceased grandfather, Lin Lao Taiye. They never fought over family property.

It was precisely because of this that Lin Huaiyu could only watch helplessly as Lin Huaizhang was taken away, a thing he absolutely couldn't accept.hey die, they must remain at their posts."And your task, is to apprehend people.Below, the thousand household commanders of Dongchang were all excited. They weren't afraid of offending people because...
