"What should I do, what should I do..." Wang Dengku was shocked and looked deserted, and he murmured on the chair.

The carefully selected honest leader of the National People's Congress turned against him, and all his plans became nothing. Decades of business were destroyed, and he was still charged with the crime of raiding the family and extermination.

Chen Qi was no longer as calm as he had at the beginning, and his hands were tightly clasped and his eyes widened, and he was very unwilling to accept it. He finally got a good fortune in the Jinshi exam, and finally got a beautiful woman who earned money every day. He made hundreds of thousands of dollars in the previous one. Ten thousand taels of silver were easy, but unexpectedly, with the arrival of the emperor, everything became empty.

If the official is lost, he will lose it. What makes Chen Qi most worried is that his relationship with the Shanxi merchants is exposed, if the crime of inciting riots alone will be enough to make him doomed!

"At the moment, I can only leave." Wang Dengku suddenly stood up, "Like Fan Yongdou, sneaked across the side wall to the Mongolians!"

Shen Qi had a calm face and said nothing. Going to the Mongols might be able to escape his life, but he would be accused of traitoring the country and surrendering to the enemy forever. How can he be willing to abandon everything and seek refuge in the barbarians?

"Sir, don't hesitate, let's escape together. I have friendship with several fortress guards, and I will definitely protect you over the side wall." Wang Dengku said very loyally.

Chen Qi suddenly turned his back: "The bastard actually bewitched my official treason. Come and catch him!"

Several soldiers from Fuyi Hall rushed in after hearing the sound, pressed Wang Dengku to the ground, and tied him up.

Wang Dengku was shocked: "Why are you like this, sir? We are in the same group!"

Chen Qi opened his eyes wide and said righteously: "Bastard, I am the head of the Ministry of Revenue in the court. How can you block his mouth with you, a dirty merchant?"

"Wuwuwu..." Wang Dengku struggled, but could no longer speak.

He hesitated, and finally made up his mind. He pulled out his waist knife from the Bing Ding's body with a "clang" and stabbed Wang Dengku into the stomach with a "puff".

Wang Dengku thrust his body suddenly and his eyes suddenly burst.

"Brother Wang, I have no choice but to borrow your head." Chen Qi leaned over to Wang Dengku's ear and said softly.

Wang Dengku's eyes emitted anger, and then his spirit quickly disappeared, his head tilted and his breath disappeared.

"Cut his head, then grab all his followers and lock them up. After the matter, you will be rewarded with great rewards." Chen Qi said lightly.

"Yes, sir!" The soldiers were overjoyed and left one after another.

......

"Futai, the head of the Fuyi Department Chen Qun asked for advice." Hong Chengchou was dealing with the follow-up matters of the rebellion, and someone suddenly came to report it.

"Let him wait outside first." Hong Chengchou said lightly.

"Sir, the rebel soldiers have successively captured merchants and accomplices. More than 50 people have been arrested, all waiting outside the city gate to receive the reward." Some people came down to report.

Hong Chengchou said: "Send someone to verify, then put the silver rewards down, record the names of these soldiers who are in charge of the rewards, and then let them leave."

"General Huang sent someone to report to the undisclosure army and had already informed the unconventional army that most of the unconventional army had left on their own. General Huang asked for instructions, would he send cavalry to patrol and monitor?" Another subordinate asked for instructions.

Hong Chengchou said: "Send someone to send orders to the castles and order them to monitor the transiting chaos. If any of the chaos dares to loot, the castles can send troops to capture and kill them."

One thing is being processed one by one, and it does not stop until dusk.

"Sir, Master Chen is still waiting outside." Some subordinates reminded.

Hong Chengchou sneered: "Let him come in."

"Chen Qi, the head of Fuyi Hall, pays homage to the Lord." Chen Qi respectfully saluted Hong Chengchou.

Hong Chengchou just raised his hand slightly, and didn't even ask anyone to do the tea on the seat, so he asked directly:

"Master Chen, why is it here at this time? But what's going on?"

Chen Qi smiled and said, "I know that the adults are busy with official business, so I shouldn't have disturbed me. But this afternoon, a thief suddenly broke into the Fuyi Hall and was captured and killed by the soldiers in Fuyi Hall. When the lower officials saw that they were the wanted criminals by the adults, they gave them to me. Sent here by sir.”

As he said that, he waved his hand outside, and a soldier from Fuyi walked in with a wooden box and placed it on the ground.

Chen Qi came forward in person, unveiled the lid of the box, revealing Wang Dengku's head without his eyes closed.

"This person is Wang Dengku, the owner of the Wang Family Warehouse in Zhangjiabao, and the second fugitive wanted by the Lord. He was desperate and tried to enter the Fuyi Hall to hijack the officials. He was beheaded by the soldiers in the Fuyi Hall." Chen Qi explained.

Hong Chengchou said lightly: "I'm afraid it's not a murder to silence me?"

Chen Qi was startled and said, "Why did you say this by sir?"

Hong Chengchou was unwilling to do this guy perfunctorily and directly showed up: "Chen Qi, you have been doing a lot of things these days. Do you really think it's seamless?"

"Ten days ago, I checked the Fan Family Store. In order to clear your relationship with Fan Yongdou, you sent someone to Qili Fort to chase and silence, but Fan Yongdou escaped."

"Fan Yongdou wrote a letter to threaten, and you colluded with Wang Dengku and others to incite public opinion and use money to lure military households in various places to cause chaos."

"I have no choice but to let tens of thousands of chaotic troops collapse. When you see something is wrong, you will kill Wang Dengku, who is informed, and try to get away with it."

"But you don't know that since you first came to Zhangjiabao to meet me, I ordered the Jinyiwei to follow the surveillance and you, and nothing you did was hidden from the Jinyiwei!"

The cold words were spoken from Hong Chengchou, and his face changed drastically.

"Your Majesty misunderstood the officials, but the officials did not do that." Chen Shi said incoherently.

Hong Chengchou shook his head slightly and said disdainfully: "A man dares to act and behave in a good manner. You are also from a Jinshi. Don't let me look down on you. Since I said it directly, there will be enough people to prove it."

Chen Qi finally became desperate and smiled bitterly: "The lower official thought he was smart, but he didn't know that he had done everything."

"Yes, I did all this. But, Lord Hong, if you hadn't suddenly brought troops to seal off all the warehouses in Zhangjiabao, all this would not have happened."

"Since the start of the tribute trade during the Longqing period, there has been no war in Xuanfu, and the northern border of the Ming Dynasty has enjoyed decades of peace. The trade in the Horse and City has been smoothly carried out, and the merchants have made great contributions. But when you come, you rely on it. He took advantage of his identity as a governor and tried to conquer all the wealth accumulated by the merchants! Sir, you are the culprit of this mutiny!"

Hong Chengchou sneered: "I'm so impatient, why should I be so mean now? The prosperity of the horse market trade is inseparable from these merchants, but they have also earned a lot of wealth from it. As long as they make money legally, they will naturally be fine. Shouldn't they be convicted of smuggling military supplies? ?

As the head of the Fuyi Department, you should have supervised these merchants, but you are in a slew with them, helping them smuggle for money and inciting the riots to make trouble for the sake of profit, do you still dare to say that you are innocent?"

He was speechless and speechless, and had nothing to say.

"Accepting huge bribes, inciting riots, and trying to collude with the Mongols to invade, Shen Shi, these charges add up, and it is not an exaggeration to sentence you to a single stern!" Hong Chengchou said disgusted.

Chen Qi suddenly raised his head: "Mr. Hong, the lower official did not collude with the Mongolians. It was Fan Yongdou who did it. I was all coerced!"
