After being read, the abstinent prince bullies others with his wife every day

Chapter 227 Parting “Gift”

Lin Cheng knelt in the main hall, covering his swollen cheeks and crying incoherently about what Yun Zhong did to him and what Yun Zhong did to his Shangshu Mansion, while tears streamed down his face and he kept groaning.

He was a man who was used to observing people's words and expressions, but at this moment, he was so humiliated and insulted that he was blinded by anger. He no longer cared about the cultivation, etiquette, masks, and Tai Chi of a politician. He accused the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion of bullying and committing crimes in the streets.

But unexpectedly, Emperor Jingsheng threw the memorial at Lin Cheng's face with a sullen look and scolded him harshly.

He had already received the memorial that Yun Sheng had sent to the palace, and it was he who ordered the Dali Temple to bring the person directly before him.

He knew best how Yun Zhong felt after he lost his daughter. The pain of losing his daughter made him so depressed that he even ignored his sons. If it weren't for the foreign invasion at the border that diverted Yun Zhong's attention, he would have become sick from grief long ago.

Although the emperor was furious, not only was the Zhenguo Mansion not punished, but Lin Cheng was beaten with dozens of big boards on his buttocks and had his salary deducted for half a year. Wang was also immediately arrested and thrown into jail on the charge of stealing a baby.

Within a day, the Shangshu Mansion became the laughing stock of the entire Yanjing.

The emperor was still furious, and the people were also furious and could not stop criticizing him. For several days in a row, the emperor's door was blocked by people throwing rotten vegetable leaves, smashing eggs, and pouring manure, and the foul smell lingered for a long time.

Lin Cheng, He and Lin Chengyu did not dare to go out at all. They could only hide in the house all day long. They took leave for several days in a row and even did not go to the morning court or private school.

Finally, the surrounding neighbors could no longer bear the stench and reported it to the court, which then ordered a halt to the farce.

Of course, with Lin Cheng's character, he would not swallow his anger if he was insulted and lost face like this.

Just look at this, on the first day of resuming court sessions, he shamelessly accused the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion of several crimes, including hiring people to commit murder, disturbing social order, and delaying public security.

Yun Zhong would naturally not talk about official etiquette with such a villain, and he started a verbal battle with him on the spot. In the end, Lin Cheng almost got beaten again.

Jiang Chen watched the two people arguing with interest. After a long while, he said softly, "Father, I think Lord Lin was indeed at fault in this matter, but General Yun was also not careful in his handling of this matter."

He paused and said, "No matter what, this is also the capital, under the feet of the emperor. No matter how angry Lord Yun is, he should report it to the court immediately and let the emperor make the judgment. How can he break into a private house and commit murder? This will not only hurt the harmony, but also set an extremely bad example for the people. Such behavior undoubtedly violates the laws of our dynasty. The emperor is guilty of the same crime as the common people. I think that General Yun should be punished."

"what!"

As soon as these words came out, the whole court was in an uproar.

Yun Zhong angrily shook his sleeves and said, "Your Majesty, what you mean by this is that I am wrong for standing up for my daughter?"

Lin Cheng still had a look of sullenness on his face, but a hint of secret joy flashed through his heart.

Unexpectedly, Prince Chen would speak for him on such matters.

It seems that sacrificing the life of one of his daughters was indeed a wise decision.

"Of course not," Jiang Chen smiled and said seriously, "Father, what I mean is that although General Yun deserves to be punished, there are reasons for it, and Lord Lin was also wrong first. These two things offset each other, so there is no need to worry about it anymore."

Yun Zhong pursed his lips and didn't respond, but his cheeks moved slightly.

Anyone with a discerning eye could see that although Jiang Chen did not favor anyone in his words and seemed very moderate, he was actually trying to exonerate Lin Cheng subtly, and he lightly brushed off Lin Cheng's crime with just a few words.

Emperor Jingsheng was silent for a moment, then turned and asked, "Prince Rui, what do you think?"

He cast his gaze on Jiang Yu who had been standing silently beside him.

Jiang Yu said calmly, "Father, I think that although the border is bitterly cold and countless soldiers have died or been injured, General Yun has led his generals to maintain peace and prosperity for the country of Dayan. Such loyal and good ministers who serve the country and the people should not only not be punished, but should be rewarded. Moreover..."

He raised his lips slightly, "The deduction of military pay a few months ago has hurt the feelings of countless generals and civilians. If the rewards and punishments are inappropriate this time, it may chill the hearts of the ministers in the court, the people of the world, and even the good generals. Therefore, I think that the most urgent task is to focus on tracing the source and returning peace and prosperity to our dynasty."

His words were powerful and impartial, but they warned all those people who had ulterior motives. After Jiang Chen spoke, many court officials who wanted to change their stance and speak for Lin Cheng all had changing expressions, but because they felt guilty and had nothing to refute, they dared not argue any more and immediately shut their mouths, not daring to say another word.

Emperor Jingsheng nodded approvingly, waved his hand and gave the order as Jiang Yu said.

Yun Zhong looked at Jiang Yu with appreciation and nodded slightly at him.

Jiang Yu also returned the greeting with a smile. The noisy and aggressive morning court ended in a thrilling, ups and downs with hidden dangers.

At the same time, the town government.

In the cozy house with a fire pipe on the floor, a beautiful girl was lying lazily on the Eight Treasures Arhat Couch, shaking a half-read book between her fingertips. The light pink fur on her collar set off her cheeks, making her look as delicate and pretty as a hydrangea.

Since coming back, Lin Shuning has been staying in Zhenbao Garden without going out. When she heard that Lin Cheng and Wang were beaten up, one was punished and the other was imprisoned, she felt a warm feeling in her heart and her mood was very happy.

First, people like Lin Cheng and Wang who care so much about their reputation were humiliated until they were left with only their underpants. Then, they quickly stripped off the remaining underpants, exposing all their evil hearts, evil livers, evil spleens and evil lungs.

Ah, this parting gift is really pleasing to the heart.

Lin Shuning giggled out loud. It was a pity that she didn't see with her own eyes how miserable Lin Cheng and Wang were. Otherwise, maybe she could have given them some itching powder to stretch their muscles.

She smiled, stood up, stretched, and placed the book on the small table on the couch.

In the past few days since she came back, Lin Shuning has basically gotten familiar with the people and things in the family. If there is anything missing, it is that she has not met her third brother Yun Qi. As for the other three brothers, she doesn't need to take the initiative to get to know them. Since she came back, they have come up to her from time to time to ask about her well-being, and they have given her gifts and found topics to talk about in various ways. The side room is filled with their gifts.

Just when I was thinking about getting some for Xiaobai to upgrade, there was a gentle knock on the door.
