Li Fengshi, whose courtesy name was Huafu, was a Jinshi in the 23rd year of Jiajing. He was appointed as the Censor of the Huguang Road Supervision Censor. Later, he was promoted to the right governor of Shanxi, and now he serves as the Censor of Shanxi.

After seeing the middle-aged man's appearance, Zhang Mancang, who was sitting behind, immediately said sarcastically: "Who am I talking about it? It turns out that it is Lord Li, but I don't know why he mobilized everyone so much?"

Zhang Mancang was just a merchant and was not the owner, but he was the first to face this third-rank official in such a tone. This move was naturally inappropriate.

However, including Chen Boren, he did not think it was inappropriate. Although this dynasty has always emphasized scholars, farmers, industry and commerce, no one in the world loves money, and they are not ordinary merchants.

They are not only rich, but also like Shanxi officials, and have many connections in the officialdom, so they do not take this censor who forced him into it seriously.

"The imperial envoy is destined to come and arrest people from the White Lotus Sect!" Li Fengshi looked at the wealthiest group of merchants in Shanxi in front of him, and seemed to explain his purpose seriously.

Huh?

Chen Boren and others would not take a small prison in their eyes, but they had to be cautious when they heard that they colluded with the White Lotus Sect.

White lotus has always been a taboo for the court, and now the leader of the White Lotus Sect Zhao Quan is a thorn in the court's side. Anyone who has proven to be related to the White Lotus disciple will be severely punished.

The reason why Yang Bo fell last year was because he did not expect Chang Zhu to get together with the White Lotus Madon Li Zixin. Yang Bo even invited Chang Zhu to a banquet, and finally had to resign due to multiple factors.

Now, Li Fengshi came under this name and had already sacrificed a fearful banner.

Chen Boren knew that the matter was extraordinary and seemed cautious and asked, "Mr. Li, I don't know which imperial envoy you mentioned?"

Zhang Mancang and other Shanxi merchants also turned their heads to look at Li Fengshi, but they didn't know which imperial envoy was.

"Of course it was Master Lin in the dynasty!" Li Fengshi bowed his hand solemnly in one direction, and said very respectfully.

Lin Weiran came to Shanxi this time, but under the banner of investigating Wang Jiluo's case for the court, he was granted the status of an imperial envoy. Compared with the identity of a cabinet master and Minister of War, the imperial envoy was undoubtedly more suitable to issue orders to local officials.

As soon as Zhang Mancang came from Taiyuan Prefecture, he blurted out and asked, "Lin Weiran? Didn't he set off for Beijing a few days ago?"

Everyone present was well-informed, and they looked at Li Fengshi in confusion. After Lin Qingran was assassinated at the celebration banquet that night, he heard that he was injured and returned to the capital the next morning.

Since the person has left, the censor has no need to work hard, and should not disturb them from discussing their plans to make a fortune.

"It is true that Master Lin has returned to Beijing, but this is an order he gave to the three departments before leaving. Our Censor General Secretary wants to do what Master Lin has assigned well, so he must not let any White Lotus Sect!" Li Fengshi nodded solemnly, and then expressed his evil attitude as if he was vengeful.

"Since everyone has left, just act like it. Which one should I sing when I run here all the way?" Zhang Mancang mocked him, then looked at the prefect of Pingyang and blamed him again: "Prince Liu, you are really doing it. You are just making a fool of yourself. Don't look at where this place is, who is here!"

Chen Boren was naturally not an ordinary merchant who could sit in the position of president of the Shanxi Chamber of Commerce. He not only had strong official connections, but also had a connection with the eunuchs in the palace.

As for today, there are even the top officials and gentry in Shanxi. Not to mention that a small police officer cannot challenge them, even the governor of Shanxi has to sell their face.

"Shopkeeper Zhang said...yes!" The prefect Pingyang faced the Shanxi merchant present, but he had no airs at all. He nodded to Zhang Mancang and said yes. However, as soon as he finished speaking, he looked at Li Fengshi with guilt.

At this moment, he was not very proud of these Shanxi merchants, but he seemed not to offend the censor.

Li Fengshi had already seen the arrogance of these people, but said righteously: "Mr. Lin came to Shanxi to protect Ningzhou City, and even killed tens of thousands of Tartars, making immortal contributions to the Ming Dynasty. Now Mr. Lin was assassinated by the Bailian Rebel Party, and this move was angered by the gods!" After a pause, he looked at Zhang Mancang and said: "Shopkeeper Zhang, our Shanxi Censorate Office will definitely not be perfunctory, and we must find all the White Lotus Sect members out. This is the purpose of this trip!"

The voice was not loud, but it also revealed justice and loyalty, and also expressed his attitude to the Shanxi merchants present.

"Mr. Li, this White Lotus Sect is certainly going to investigate, but what is your intention to bring people here now? Do you think we have White Lotus Sect here, or do you think that I and everyone present are all White Lotus Sect members?" Chen Boren grabbed the point in one fell swoop and questioned Li Fengshi first.

"I have no objection to tracking down Bailian, but we are all good merchants!"

"If you really want to capture the White Lotus Sect, you should go out of the Great Wall. There is no one you are looking for here!"

"Don't talk about this here, even if there is not the entire Pingyang City, you should take people to leave quickly!"

...

As soon as Chen Boren's voice fell, Zhang Mancang and others responded one after another. While expressing their innocentness, they also formally issued an order to expel guests.

When Li Shifeng heard several people asking him to leave, he couldn't help but feel angry. When the voices of these people stopped, before he could speak, someone stood up again.

Yang Junyan raised his eyelids slightly, and he also took out the momentum of Master Yang San and said, "Mr. Li, I know you want to please whom, but this is not a place where you can scramble around. I can testify: There is no one in the White Lotus here. You can take your people away quickly. I can think that nothing happened!"

The voice was arrogant, but he did not take the little censor seriously. Although his father had retired, with the power of his Yang family, punishing a small censor was as simple as killing an ant.

When Zhang Mancang and others saw Mr. Yang stepping forward, they also looked at Li Fengshi jokingly.

Master Liu knew the energy of the Yang family well, and couldn't help but swallow and spit in secret, and persuaded carefully: "Master Nietai, why don't we leave first? I've already bought a meal and welcome you!"

He was actually brought over by Li Fengshi just now. The censor suddenly came to him and then asked him to come straight to the Chen Mansion with his men.

For a moment, everyone's eyes focused on Li Fengshi, and they were already trying to drive out the censor who had forcibly broke in.
