Chapter 152 Confrontation
He subconsciously thought that it was Lin Junchen who brought people back. So he turned around immediately, and the word "Junchen!" almost came out of his mouth.
However, to his surprise, the person who came in was not Lin Junchen, but a group of soldiers.
The soldier walked in quickly, followed by a familiar figure.
It turned out to be Prince Zhou Huangquan.
"Prince?" Lin Yunsong was shocked. Why did he come here?
"General Lin, congratulations." Crown Prince Zhou Huangquan, wearing a khaki robe, walked in quickly with his hands behind his back, and walked towards Lin Yunsong with a smile on his face.
"Why is it you?" Lin Yunsong saw the people Zhou Huangquan brought rushing in and surrounding him, and immediately had a bad feeling in his heart, "What are you going to do?"
Then he suddenly thought of something, his eyebrows darkened: "Where is Chen'er? What happened to Chen'er?"
"General Lin." Zhou Huangquan said with a neutral smile, "I am congratulating you. What are you doing? Are you questioning me? No matter what Lin Junchen did, he has made contributions. He deserves this meal."
"What crime did he commit?" Lin Yunsong asked with narrowed eyes, "He is a hero in this disaster relief effort. What crime did he commit? What crime could he have committed?!"
"General Lin, don't be anxious on this great day. Let me explain it to you slowly." Zhou Huangquan smiled, then his eyes suddenly darkened and he said, "Someone come! Bring the prisoner up!"
As soon as he finished speaking, several of his men turned around and went out. A few moments later, they came back dragging a man who was tied up.
The man's clothes were disheveled, his mouth was blocked with a white cloth, and his body was covered with wounds from being whipped.
It’s Lin Junchen!
Zhang was so frightened at this scene that she almost fainted. She shouted, "Junchen!"
Everyone at the banquet stood up and looked over here in surprise. What happened to Lin Junchen? Why was he tied up?
"Junchen." Seeing her son covered in wounds, Zhang couldn't help but rush over, but was stopped by the prince's men with swords. Lin Yunsong knew that swords had no eyes, so he pulled Zhang to protect him behind him, and at the same time he approached and asked angrily: "What are you doing? What did Junchen do wrong? Why are you tying him up like this? Untie me!"
Lin Yunsong glared angrily.
"What mistake did he make?" Zhou Huangquan said, "I'll tell you what mistake he made. He took advantage of the two months he was in Beijing to help with disaster relief to win over the people's hearts. Although he was in Beijing, he sent the victims to attack the residences of the court officials in Beijing, plotting to cause chaos in Beijing and intending to rebel!"
rebel? !
What a terrible word!
Lin Yunsong shuddered when he heard this. Rebellion? How could it be possible? His Lin family had served the Zhou Dynasty for generations and was loyal to it. How could they rebel?
Totally impossible!
At this time, Lin Junchen, who was kneeling on the ground and gagged, was also shaking his head desperately. Facing such slander, his eyes were wide open, and he struggled desperately to stand up, but he was pressed down by Zhou Huangquan's men and couldn't stand up at all.
rebel?
The crowd also cried out in surprise. Everyone was immediately panicked. Those who came here today were all powerful people in the capital. If Lin Junchen was labeled as a rebel, then the General's Mansion would inevitably be blamed. If they were to be investigated, wouldn't they also be doomed?
They never expected that they would encounter such a life-threatening incident just by coming here for a meal.
Everyone was feeling uneasy.
But now no one can move.
Just when everyone was at a loss as to what to do, there was still someone calmly picking up food at the banquet. That person was none other than Tang Wanru.
No one else paid attention to her behavior, but Bai Yanli, who was sitting next to her, saw it clearly.
That is a kind of calmness that comes from being in complete control of the situation.
"You are slandering me!" Lin Yunsong said fiercely and resolutely: "Junchen will never rebel!"
"Of course you would say that," the prince said, "because you and he are in the same group."
"What did you say?" Lin Yunsong became a little unsteady when he heard these words.
Zhou Huangquan sneered and said, "There is irrefutable evidence that Lin Junchen was the mastermind behind the disaster. And this evidence also involves the General's Mansion. We are here today to search the General's Mansion and find evidence that you instigated Lin Junchen to rebel!"
"General Lin, it's useless to explain. The evidence in the general's mansion will make you shut up!" After saying that, Zhou Huangquan ordered his men, "Come in, search for me!"
As soon as these words came out, the prince's soldiers immediately started to attack. The general's guards also came up to resist. For a moment, the scene became chaotic.
At this moment, a sonorous and powerful voice came out: "This is the general's mansion granted by the late emperor. Let's see who dares to search it!"
The voice was deep and powerful, and it stunned everyone present for a moment. When they turned around, they saw that it was the old lady Yu from the general's mansion.
Yu was not feeling well today, so she did not come out to the banquet.
Now that she saw that the General's Mansion was being plotted against, she naturally couldn't just sit there and wait for death.
She knew very well that the prince was going to use Lin Junchen as a pretext to destroy the general's mansion today. Once the prince's men came in, even things they didn't have would be found.
The general’s mansion is in danger!
"Mom!" Lin Yunsong turned around and looked at his mother.
Yu was followed by Li Po and two maids, and she walked to the front step by step with a cane. She was very strong, and the cane made a strong sound when it hit the ground, which was very loud in the quiet banquet.
"Your Highness." Yu came up slowly, holding her white-haired head high, her eyes determined, and she said confidently, "The General's Mansion followed the late emperor to conquer the world. The plaque on the door of the mansion was paid for with the blood of the heroes in my mansion. Not everyone can slander it at will!" She stared at the prince with disdain, "If you want to search the General's Mansion, you must have the imperial decree of the current emperor, otherwise don't even think about setting foot in my mansion!"
Yu is indeed able to keep his composure, and he is worthy of being the one who followed General Lin to the battlefield back then!
But the prince was also disdainful. He tilted his mouth and said, "Old Madam Yu, things are different now. Your Lin Junchen has committed a serious crime of confiscating the family property and exterminating the whole family. In an emergency, I must conduct a search of the General's Mansion now in order to prevent the General's Mansion from destroying the evidence of collusion with Lin Junchen."
"Old lady, you are old." The prince said bluntly, "The glory of the General's Mansion has long passed, and it is no longer useful. If you want to talk about that glory, why not go to the underworld and talk to those deceased martyrs you mentioned, and reminisce about the glory of the past together."
His words are really disrespectful!
Everyone present couldn't bear to listen any longer. Old Mrs. Yu turned pale and Lin Yunsong simply couldn't control himself.
How dare he say that about his mother!
"Zhou Huangquan, don't go too far!" Lin Yunsong rushed forward regardless of any obstruction!
