Many people in the restaurant were shocked by the scene of Li Huan entering the city, especially those who were well-informed, but they recognized at a glance Cai Wen, the prosecutor who was surrounding Li Huan, Gu Huang, the governor on the left, and Gu Huang on the right.
Qian Zhong, the governor, and Huang Wenzheng, the prefect of Fuzhou, who was among the officials.
It can be said that these are all the leading figures in Fujian, but these usually aloof officials are surrounded by an obviously younger official, which naturally makes people secretly guess Li Huan's identity.
Especially the imperial guard of honor, knowledgeable people naturally recognize it, and then explain it to those who don't understand with a bit of pride.
After some explanations, everyone finally understood. No wonder the extremely young-looking official was surrounded by so many senior officials in the middle. He was an imperial envoy, representing the emperor.
But these people obviously didn't know Li Huan's identity, so everyone just talked about it, guessing who Li Huan was.
Some people speculate that Li Huan must be a descendant of a high-ranking official in the capital, or one of those young nobles who are hereditary.
Otherwise, it would be difficult for them to imagine what kind of family such a young emperor's imperial envoy could come from.
Chen Yidao, Zhao Zhi and others sitting at the window had no intention of speaking. They just sat there and listened to the discussions of the people. Listening to these people guessing about Li Huan's identity, their hearts were filled with pride.
Although their young master did not come from a noble family, he could do things that even those nobles could not do.
Suddenly, someone was heard exclaiming: "I remembered, I know who this imperial envoy is."
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone in the restaurant immediately looked at the man. Even Chen Yidao and Zhao Zhi looked at him in surprise.
After all, Li Huan mostly visited Langqi Island in the past, and at most Changle County. He had almost never been to Fuzhou Prefecture. It would be strange to say that someone knew Li Huan.
The person who said he knew Li Huan's identity looked like a businessman, about forty years old, with excitement in his eyes. Under the gaze of everyone, he said: "If I admit my mistake correctly, this imperial envoy is our Fuzhou
The family name is from Changle County."
Many people immediately exclaimed after hearing this: "This is impossible. I have never heard of such a powerful young man in Fuzhou Prefecture. You must have admitted your mistake."
The merchant looked at Li Huan's retreating figure, and the memory in his mind became clearer and clearer, and his face became even more excited as he said: "Yes, I can confirm, do you know about the lineage of the Li family in Langqi, Changle County?"
The Langqi Li family is somewhat famous in Changle County, but to be honest, not many people know about it outside of Changle County.
After all, the health post in a place is just a hundred households of hereditary officials. Once you leave the county, no one will know who you are.
Fuzhou Prefecture governs several counties, especially Fuzhou Prefecture, which is the administrative center of the entire Fujian Province. It is unknown how many powerful families have gathered there. Even these powerful families may not be able to remember them, let alone the small locals.
Rich man.
Seeing everyone's reaction, the merchant chuckled and said: "A few years ago, Li Xian, who was hereditary as the official of one hundred households in Langqiyu Guard Station, died, and his son Li Huan wanted to keep his position as the hereditary official of one hundred households.
, had to fight with the Lian Jiang Fang clan. It was also at that time that many people knew Li Huan's name."
Someone reacted and couldn't help but said: "You mean, the person who was surrounded by the chief envoy, the imperial envoy and other high officials just now is Li Huan, who was born in the Li family of Langqi."
Xingshang nodded and said: "Yes, I was lucky enough to meet this Imperial Envoy from a distance. Although the Imperial Envoy has undergone great changes in the past few years, I am still a good person."
Obviously, most people still don't believe what this businessman says.
Some people even sarcastically said: "Even if you make it up, you can make it more convincing. A mere hereditary family of 100 people can become an imperial envoy to inspect places on behalf of the emperor in just two or three years. Aren't you?
Are you kidding, or do you think we are all fools?"
"Yes, if you don't have a big enough background, how could you become the emperor's imperial envoy at such a young age? If you want to say that he is the legitimate son of a prince's family, we will reluctantly believe it, but you say that he is just a little kid.
A small hereditary official of one hundred households..."
Listening to these people's discussions, Forsythia couldn't help but whisper: "Why don't these people believe it?"
Zhao Zhi stroked his beard and looked at Forsythia with a smile and said: "Girl Forsythia, because they don't dare to think about things in their dreams. Even if they really happen, they won't believe it."
When the merchant heard the people's ridicule, his face suddenly turned red and he said anxiously: "He is really Li Huan of the Langqi Li family. Why don't you believe it?"
Said the businessman: "If you don't believe it, you can send someone to inquire. I believe it won't be long before the news about this imperial envoy will be spread. Then you will know that I am not lying."
At this moment, Chen Yidao, Zhao Zhi and others stood up to leave. When Lin Zhennan walked to the stairs, he looked back at everyone and smiled at the merchant: "You are right, that imperial envoy is indeed Lang Qi Li
The son of the family, Li Huan."
After saying that, Lin Zhennan strode downstairs, leaving behind everyone in the restaurant with faces full of astonishment.
"Ah, then...that's Mr. Lin Zhennan, the head escort of Fuwei Escort Agency. I recognize him!"
Someone obviously recognized Lin Zhennan's identity.
Lin Zhennan is considered a well-known figure in Fuzhou City. After all, Lin Jiafuwei Escort Agency has contacts with the widest range of people, including high-ranking officials and nobles, as well as people from all walks of life, so many people know Lin Zhennan.
There are quite a few people who know Lin Zhennan in this restaurant alone.
People who know Lin Zhennan can't help but say: "General Lin traveled all over the country and had the best information. He said that the imperial envoy was Li Huan of the Langqi Li family. That must be correct."
Suddenly someone was sitting there and said with a bit of envy: "I heard that the Lin family and the Langqi Li family are related by marriage. If Li Huan of the Langqi Li family is really an imperial envoy, then the Fuzhou Lin family may just climb up."
It’s Gao Zhi’er!”
"Oh, when you say that, I suddenly understand why Wang Zuye, Fang Ke, and Hu Hai were slapped with thirty blows by the magistrate when they sued the Lin family a few days ago."
After all, Wang Zuye, Fang Ke, and Hu Hai were also well-known wealthy businessmen in Fuzhou City. Suddenly, they were ordered by the prefect to strip off their pants and beat them up for thirty times. Even after these days, they are still like this
The hottest news in Fuzhou City.
But at that time, many people were very curious as to why those wealthy gentry who usually enjoyed the wind and rain in Fuzhou City were suddenly beaten by the prefect.
Now that they knew the relationship between the Lin family and the imperial envoy, everyone suddenly realized.
However, Li Huan, Wang Yangming and their entourage were welcomed into a rather elegant courtyard. This courtyard was neither big nor small, and it was not very luxurious, but more elegant.
After sitting down, Gu Huang, the chief minister of the left, was the head of the officials. He smiled and explained to Li Huan and Wang Yangming: "This is the Green Bamboo Garden. The environment is quiet and exquisite. It is not convenient for the two adults to stay in Fujian."
Stay here."
When Li Huan heard this, he glanced at Wang Yangming first, smiled slightly and said: "My lords, you are kind, if Li refuses..."
At this moment, Wang Yangming coughed lightly and said with a look of worry on his face: "Master Li, I'm afraid this is against the rules. When we come to investigate the case, we should stay at the inn."
Gu Huang, Qian Zhong and others were very happy when they saw Li Huan and were about to agree. However, when Wang Yangming spoke, all the officials couldn't help but look at Li Huan subconsciously.
At the same time, many people secretly sighed in their hearts. It seems that the supervisory censor Wang, who was born in the Metropolitan Procuratorate, is really the same as Li Huan, who is also a royal guard. He is very difficult to deal with.
Cai Wen stroked his beard, squinted his eyes, and looked back and forth between Li Huan and Wang Yangming.
I heard Li Huan snort and say: "If Mr. Wang wants to act according to the rules, then you can live in the inn. Anyway, Li thinks this Green Bamboo Garden is good."
Wang Yangming's expression immediately changed, and he snorted coldly: "I will truthfully report this matter to Your Majesty."
Li Huan sneered and said, "Master Wang, just do whatever you want."
Gu Huang coughed lightly and said hurriedly: "You two adults, please don't let your friendship get hurt over this trivial matter."
As he spoke, Gu Huang said loudly: "Quickly send the order and have someone bring the prepared meals so that we can help you two adults."
During the banquet, Li Huan refused to refuse any of the officials who came to propose a toast to him, and even spoke loudly, giving the impression that he was a young man who became arrogant when he was successful.
On the contrary, Wang Yangming sat there all the time and rarely spoke. Even some of the officials who toasted to him were deterred from speaking by his aura of being repulsive to people thousands of miles away.
After the banquet dispersed, Li Huan stayed in the Green Bamboo Garden as he said, while Wang Yangming, as the deputy envoy, took a group of soldiers to the inn. The two imperial envoys stood in front of all the Fujian officials.
They are located in two places, and the internal conflicts are known to everyone.
As all the officials left, Jin Yiwei quickly took over the defense of the entire Green Bamboo Garden.
Chen Yao now looked at Li Huan, who had changed from his previous dissolute appearance, and said, "Not to mention, your Excellency, the performance you just performed with Mr. Wang, if your subordinates hadn't already known about it, I'm afraid they would have thought that you two were really
It’s broken down.”
Li Huan chuckled and said, "Otherwise, those officials would have crazy thoughts. Didn't you see that after the scene between me and Mr. Yangming, the expressions of those officials were obviously much more relaxed."
Chen Yao sneered and said: "There is something wrong with them. If you and Mr. Wang, the chief and deputy imperial envoys, work together, wouldn't they be the unlucky ones?"
Li Huan slowly shook his head and said: "This move can at most temporarily stabilize the hearts of some people, but it's hard to say whether it can deceive Cai Wen, Gu Huang and others."
As he spoke, Li Huan looked at Chen Yao and said, "How are Sun Xiang, Cai Changgui and the others?"
Chen Yao said sternly: "Don't worry, sir, we have the best disguise artist to help them disguise themselves. Even Cai Wen wouldn't be able to recognize him if he saw it with his own eyes."
Li Huan nodded and said: "Be sure to keep a close eye on these people, they are extremely important witnesses."
He said with a solemn look: "Have our people kept an eye on all the health centers in Fuzhou?"
Chen Yao nodded and said: "As soon as we entered Fujian, the Jinyi Guards we brought have already separated out more than a hundred people. Now they have completely targeted the guards that Cai Wen and others may mobilize, and some adults have even blocked them.
I have the transfer order from your Majesty’s imperial envoy and seal in hand. If necessary, we Jinyiwei people can temporarily control each guard station.”
Li Huan nodded slightly and said: "Even if the guard station is in bad condition, it is still a violent institution. As long as the guard station is not in chaos, the Chief Secretary and the people under the control of the Chasi Division will not cause a big mess."
When he said this, a sharp look flashed in Li Huan's eyes.
After leaving Green Bamboo Garden, Qian Zhongdang, the right-hand minister who had always been with Gu Huang and Cai Wen, parted ways with Cai Wen and others.
Watching Qian Zhong leave, Gu Huang snorted and muttered softly: "What a noble person, do you really think that if you are not greedy or possessive, you will be able to have a clear life?"
Cai Wen squinted his eyes and looked at the direction where Qian Zhong was leaving. A cold light flashed in his eyes and said: "Brother Gu, Qian Zhong has always claimed to be a noble person and disdains to cooperate with us. This time the imperial envoy came here, even though it was for investigation.
Han Ling's murder case, but I always feel that Li Huan came here not just for Han Ling."
Gu Huang frowned and whispered: "I knew I shouldn't have destroyed Han Lingman's family in the first place, but I didn't expect that the imperial court would still send an imperial envoy to investigate."
Hearing Gu Huang say such childish words, Cai Wen couldn't help but shake his head secretly. With his political consciousness and IQ, he just followed the right person. Otherwise, how could he have a smooth journey in the officialdom?
Do you really think that if Han Ling's whole family is wiped out, they will have a good life? If the imperial court really sends someone to investigate Han Ling's case, it will only be people from Jinyiwei who come to investigate, not in the name of imperial envoy
, and even dispatched the supervisory censor from the Metropolitan Procuratorate. Do you really think this battle is just for a mere thousand households of Jin Yiwei?
Sighing in his heart, Cai Wen looked at Gu Huang and whispered: "It's best for you to send someone to keep an eye on the money master."
Gu Huang was stunned for a moment, then he realized what he meant: "Xiandi means that Qian Zhonggan..."
Cai Wen said seriously: "We are not afraid of 10,000, we are just afraid of the unexpected. If Qian Zhong doesn't have some clues about us, Brother Gu, do you believe it yourself?"
Gu Huang's expression changed and he couldn't help but curse: "Damn it, I don't have any enmity with him, he dares to harm me!"
However, Gu Huang obviously realized the seriousness of the problem and nodded to Cai Wen: "Don't worry, I will send my confidants to keep an eye on Qian Zhong."
Returning to a separate courtyard, Gu Huang, Cai Wen and several of their confidants were waiting for them in the courtyard.
At this moment, Cai Wen sat down, glanced at Sun Wei and said, "How is the matter you were asked to do? Did you find anything among Li Huan and his team?"
Sun Wei took a deep breath, pointed at Cai Wen, and Gu Huang cupped his hands and said: "Sir, in the past few days, our people took on various identities to secretly spy on Li Huan and his group, and sent people to carefully monitor them when they entered the city.
After snooping around for a while, I even checked it again when I arranged for the entourage to enter the inn and Green Bamboo Garden, but there was nothing abnormal at all."
When Cai Wen heard what Sun Wei said, he couldn't help but frowned and said, "Am I really overthinking it?"
Thinking of Li Huan talking to him about Sun Xiang with a normal expression not long ago, Li Huan's no-nonsense expression made Cai Wen's doubts waver a little.
With a quick glance, Cai Wen looked at Sun Wei and said, "Gongya, today Li Huan told me that Sun Xiang has returned to Fujian. Do you think his words can be trusted?"
Sun Wei said almost instinctively: "This is impossible. If my brother really comes back, how could he not come to see you?"
At this moment, Gu Huang took a sip of tea and said, "After all, it's a long way from the capital to Fujian. There couldn't be any accident on the way!"
Gu Huang then added: "I saw that when Li Huan mentioned Sun Xiang, his expression and reaction were extremely natural, and he didn't look like he was lying."
Cai Wen felt a little irritable, rubbed his forehead and said, "Let's not mention Sun Xiang's matter for the time being. How are the other arrangements for you to do?"
Sun Wei nodded and said: "The arrangements have been made."
At this moment, Gu Huang glanced at Cai Wen and Sun Wei in confusion and said, "Xiandi, Mr. Gongya, what are you..."
Cai Wen smiled and said, "It's just the beginning and the end. Brother Gu, don't worry."
After hearing what Cai Wen said, Gu Huang nodded slightly and said, "Xian brother, you are trustworthy in handling things. How to deal with the imperial envoy this time depends entirely on you, Xian brother."
Cai Wen smiled slightly and said modestly: "Brother Gu is just joking. After all, we are just trying to protect ourselves. I just hope that Li Huan and the others can handle it gently and let us get through this disaster."
Gu Huangshen nodded in agreement and said: "Yes, if you all come to be officials, who can make no mistakes? Sometimes you just turn a blind eye and pass by."
After seeing Gu Huang off, Cai Wen looked at Sun Wei with a solemn look on his face.
Sun Wei looked at Cai Wen and said solemnly: "Your Excellency, Gu Buzheng is too naive. We cannot place our hopes on Li Huan and Wang Yangming. If Li Huan really doesn't know everything, then that's it. If
He is really coming for us, so you have to make preparations in advance."
Cai Wen nodded and said, "Gu Huang was here just now and didn't go into details. Please tell me what happened to the arrangements I asked you to make earlier."
A stern look flashed across Sun Wei's face and he said: "Don't worry, sir. As early as a month ago, I had summoned all our people back according to your instructions. Now everything has been arranged. All I need is an order from you."
Come on, you can go out at any time."
Cai Wen let out a long breath, his eyes filled with endless madness, and said quietly: "I hope Li Huan will not force me to take this step, otherwise..."
Sun Wei said with a strange smile on his lips: "Sir, there is no need to be so pessimistic. Even if the worst outcome does occur, don't we still have ways to deal with it?"
Cai Wen nodded slightly and chuckled: "Actually, I have always wanted to be a good official, but the world is..."
Sun Wei looked at Cai Wen and said seriously: "My lord is a good official!"
Cai Wen couldn't help being stunned, then laughed loudly and said: "Gongya knows me, Gongya knows me!"
While he was talking, there was a burst of hurried footsteps. When he saw that person, Cai Wen couldn't help but frown.
The person who came was Cai Wen's younger brother, Cai Biao. Because he had some abilities, he was valued by Cai Wen. He had connections in the army and prepared a lucrative position for Cai Biao as a grain ambassador in the guard station.
"How is it appropriate to be so flustered?"
Cai Biao was startled when he was scolded by Cai Wen. After he came to his senses, he quickly said: "Brother, I have something important to report."
Cai Wen said calmly: "Tell me, what's the matter? You may have touched the food in the guard station and triggered a mutiny."
Hearing this, Cai Biao said with an aggrieved face: "Brother, you don't know that the mice in the grain depot of the guard house will cry when they go in. Even if I want to do something, I have to have food for me to do it."
Putting down the tea cup, Cai Wen said: "What's going on?"
Cai Biao said with a mysterious face: "Brother, I accidentally discovered a few new faces outside the health station earlier. At first, I didn't pay attention to them, but those few new faces kept coming for several days.
Appearing, this naturally aroused the idea of my brother. After my investigation, do you know what I found out?"
Cai Wen looked solemn at this time, looked at Cai Biao and said: "Speak quickly."
Cai Biao took a deep breath and said: "My younger brother used money and entrusted some local gangsters to find trouble for those people. You know, these people like to bully strangers and foreigners. As a result, all those local gangsters were killed."
I was given a severe lesson.”
Cai Biao said with a bit of surprise in his eyes: "One of the little gangsters told me that he felt that the people who taught them a lesson were very similar to the Jin Yiwei in the city..."
"What!"
Cai Wen shouted in a low voice full of shock and anger, while Sun Wei on the side looked extremely ugly, and the two looked at each other.
Sun Wei gritted his teeth and said: "What a Li Huan, he has deceived everyone. If I am not mistaken, those Jinyi guards that Cai Biao discovered should have been sent by Li Huan."
Cai Wen sneered and said: "He is not stupid. He knows to keep an eye on the guard station before taking action to prevent us from jumping over the wall and mobilizing the troops and horses of the guard station to cause trouble."
As he spoke, Cai Wen's eyes flashed and he said: "It seems that Cheng Yi really took away our criminal evidence, and those criminal evidence also fell into his hands. I just don't know when he is going to take us down.
"
Sun Wei took a deep breath and said slowly: "Li Huan's performance at the previous banquet confused many people. Even we were almost deceived by him. If it weren't for Cai Biao's discovery, maybe we would still be thinking about it now.
He was taking one step at a time, but he didn't know that he was already ready to take action."
Cai Wen's eyes were a little red, and his breathing gradually became rapid. It was obvious that he was struggling fiercely in his heart.
Suddenly Cai Wen, with red eyes, looked up at Sun Wei and said, "Gongya, pass my order to those people and ask them to take action immediately."
Cai Wen, who had a ferocious look on his face, said in an almost crazy tone: "Give me a fire to burn the Green Bamboo Garden, and burn Li Huan to death. Isn't he just an imperial envoy? If you dare to investigate me, then
You have to bear the price of angering me."
With a pop, Cai Biao fell to the ground. He heard something. His brother actually wanted to burn the imperial envoy and his party to death in the Green Bamboo Garden. This... this is simply crazy.
The ferocious look on his face was gradually replaced by indifference. Cai Wen glanced at the frightened Cai Biao and said coldly: "The sky is high and the emperor is far away, so what about the imperial envoy? Just go through the motions honestly.
Naturally, we won’t let him return to Beijing empty-handed, but now he wants to attack us without knowing the height of his ambition, so don’t blame us.”
Cai Biao suddenly trembled, and suddenly said to Cai Wen with a look of fear on his face: "Brother, that... that is the imperial envoy. If this is exposed, murdering the imperial envoy is tantamount to rebellion, and then the nine tribes will be punished.
It’s a sin.”
Cai Wen just said coldly: "If Li Huan doesn't die, then we will be the ones who die."
Sun Wei stroked his beard and said gloomily: "The rabbit bites people when it is anxious. Besides, no one has stipulated that the imperial envoy will not be burned to death by accidental water leakage, right?"
