Chapter 167 (One Hundred and Sixty Seven) Backer
At this time, Lu Juefeng was worried that if he told the truth simply and neatly, King Jingyin would be surprised at first glance, and he would be more likely to be severely punished, so he said vaguely: "Some of Yin Ruchen's previous Action, it has interfered with the people under Wei Chen to do what Wei Chen wants, and of course it has interfered with the people under Sun Guye to do what he wants... That's why Wei Chen and Sun Guye worked together to deal with this before, and it had a disruptive effect. Yin Ruchen."
King Jingyin looked at Yin Ruchen again and asked, "Miss Yin, he said that you have interfered with the work of the people below him?"
Yin Ruchen considered that he had indeed attacked many evil officials in his previous missions, so he thought: Could it be that Sun Guye and Lu Juefeng were the backers behind the evil officials? If this is the case, then it is indeed possible that he has interfered with the work of the people below them. But if the "interference" that Lu Juefeng refers to really refers to this kind of thing, it proves that what he instructs the people below him to do is not a good thing.
Yin Ruchen replied: "Folk women have only 'interrupted' some evil officials from doing evil things."
Although Yin Ruchen's words were not long, they hit Lu Juefeng's heart like a heavy hammer. He originally wanted to slowly tell the truth to King Jing Yin, so that King Jing Yin would have a buffering process to accept it. But as soon as Yin Ruchen said these words, even if he didn't immediately confess that what he asked the people below to do was evil, he didn't know what to say.
"Lu Juefeng, have you ever instigated evil officials to do evil things?" King Jing Yin asked.
Lu Juefeng looked confused and didn't know how to answer this question.
"Yes, it means, if it doesn't, it means no, what's so hard to answer?" King Jing Yin frowned.
"The people under Wei Chen have done bad things, and they do have some relationship with Wei Chen. However, the officials who did evil things have been punished..." Lu Juefeng said hesitantly.
"Speak clearly! If the people below you do evil things, and you instigate it, just say it is you! What do you mean by 'somewhat related'? It's vague! What on earth is it?" King Jing Yin snapped. road.
Lu Juefeng had caused more than one evil thing to be done by the people below him, and at this time he didn't know which one to mention to make his crime appear lighter. Unexpectedly, Sun Guye interrupted at this time: "He asked the people below to levy excessive taxes, threaten the people who refused to surrender with force, and asked the people below to hand over part of the money they received to him. He also said that if anything happened, he would He was responsible. Because Yin Ruchen fought against the threat of force for those who refused to surrender, and made the matter worse, it attracted the attention of an official. As a result, something happened to the people under him. At this time, he was added to the trouble. The person was punished, but he was still in this position safe and sound. If he hadn’t begged me and I had found a way for him, he would have been unable to speak here!”
What Sun Guye said this time was indeed true. The "certain official" he mentioned was Zhou Rong, a high-ranking and upright official. Because he hated Zhou Rong very much, who blocked his way to make money, he said Nothing would mention Zhou Rong's name at this time.
Lu Juefeng knew that what Sun Guye said this time was the truth, but he did not say it in a way that he could accept, so he did not admit it directly: "Sun Guye just wants to drag Wei Chen down!"
Only then did Yin Ruchen realize that the backer behind the evil official who oppressed the people was Lu Juefeng. (End of chapter)
