Transmigrated As Cannon Fodder To Marry

 The so-called neighbors of the Ren family pointed at Jiang Lin as soon as they entered the door, "It's him, it's him, we saw clearly last night, he brought several people to beat Young Master Ren." 

    When these people kept talking nonsense, Yin Ji patted the gavel, "Are you sure that this person was the one who beat Ren Denggao?"

    The neighbors all said yes.

    Yin Ji: "Well, I'm going to ask you, what time did you see it last night, and you all tell me together."

    This time they made a mistake. Some people said it was dusk, some said it was right after the sky got dark, and some said it was in the midnight. After they said something, they realized that they said something wrong, and changed their words in a hurry, so there was no unification at all.

    "The second question, the servant of the Ren family come to answer. Since you said that it was last night, no matter whether it was dark or not, it was getting late. Why was your young master still wandering outside the door at this hour, and give Jiang Lin a chance to beat him."

    Since it was done in the alley, it was impossible for Jiang Lin to lead people to forcibly take Ren Denggao out of the house. If he could get in, he would definitely do it inside the house.

    The servant faltered and said: "My young master stayed in the academy for a long time last night, and it was late when he returned. It happened that young master Jiang ran into him."

    Yin Ji: "The place where your young master was beaten was the alley in the left of the Ren family's house. It's not far away, why don't you go back and ask someone to help, and let Jiang Lin beat up your young master like this?"

    The servant said, "I...I was scared at that time, yes, so servant I didn't react."

    Yin Ji took a deep look at the servant, and then said: "Come here, remove the white gauze from Ren Denggao's body, and ask the doctor to come and examine the injury."

    Ren Denggao subconsciously shook his head, and the servant quickly stopped him, "It can't be removed, my lord, my young master is seriously injured, the doctor said it has to be bandaged like this for a while."

    Jiang Lin laughed directly when he heard the servant's words, "The doctor you invited has a grudge against your young master, right?"

    Yin Ji also said: "Bandaged him like this for a few days to let your young master suffocate to death with feces and urine?"

    Ren Denggao's whole body was tightly bandaged from the neck down, it was fit tightly that he couldn't even move, if he was bandaged like this for a few days, there was no way nothing would happen.

    But neither Ren Denggao himself nor the servant had thought of this, so they were confused.

    The yamen servant got the order, and then began to dismantle the silkworm chrysalis. The servant didn't dare to stop him, and Ren Denggao struggled to no avail. After dismantling it, they found that there was no injury on his body except for the face like a pig's head.

    Now there was no need for a trial to know that it was a false accusation.

    Seeing the situation, Jiang Lin quickly sued Ren Denggao and asked Yin Ji to make the decision for him.

    Yin Ji sat down again and began to interrogate Ren Denggao, "Hurry up and tell the truth, why did you falsely accuse Jiang Lin of beating you?"

    Yin Ji also glanced at the neighbors who came to testify to Ren Denggao, "Also, you know that people who commit perjury will also get punished."

   The group of people panicked immediately, and all of them knelt down to beg for mercy, saying that they all came to testify because they got some benefits from the Ren family.

    Since they had made a mistake, Yin Ji directly ordered the yamen servants to take the people down and each person would get ten boards, as a reward for the perjury.

    As for Ren Denggao, this person was a cowardly man who was greedy for life and afraid of death, and as soon as Yin Ji threatened him, he confessed the truth immediately.

    "Yes...someone instructed me to do this. My lord, the student did it against the student's will. The student is not at fault."

    Ren Denggao said that someone ordered him to falsely accuse Jiang Lin to make trouble for Jiang Lin, but he couldn't tell who ordered him, or maybe he didn't dare to say the other party's name, because Jiang Lin saw fear from his face.

    A lot of people flashed through Jiang Lin's mind, the empress, the crown prince, Zhao Qiuru, Qinghe County Wangfei, and the ministers who he had just offended recently. As long as that person held a grudge against him, Jiang Lin thought it was possible.

    Because, except for two good brothers and a group of new good sisters, everyone else seemed to have some grievances with him. Jiang Lin felt that his relations with people was really not good.

    After interrogating Ren Denggao, Yin Ji asked Jiang Lin if he had any clues, Jiang Lin shook his head and said honestly, "I have too many enemies, I think all of them are possible, and I don't know who the mastermind is. "

    Yin Ji: "..."

    It was the first time he heard someone said that he had too many enemies so frankly.

    Yin Ji took a deep breath, and said to Jiang Lin, "You go back first, As for Ren Denggao,  the government will keep him in detention. I will notify you when the person behind the scenes is found out." 

    Jiang Lin nodded, he asked Yin Ji to come out and follow him, and then he whispered, "Actually, I really beat up Ren Denggao, but it was more than a month ago. He coveted my sister, he deserves it!" 

    Yin Ji looked at Jiang Lin up and down. It seemed that he had mended his ways, but it was no wonder if he still had the dude nature, and he would hit when something happened.

[改邪归正 gǎi xié guī zhèng: lit. to mend one's ways (idiom) to turn over a new leaf]

    Yin Ji waved his hand, "Just go, I will let him say that he is the mastermind." Mr. Yin still felt that he couldn't understand the behavior style of the dude.
