Obviously Li Huan did not expect that Zhu Houzhao would suddenly mention the marriage, so he had a confused look on his face, obviously not knowing what Zhu Houzhao was planning.
Li Huan looked at Zhu Houzhao subconsciously.
Noticing Li Huan's expression, Zhu Houzhao said with a smile on his lips: "Li Qing, Duke Cheng has just come to me personally to ask me to marry his daughter."
Li Huan originally thought that Zhu Houzhao's sudden mention of a betrothal was a reference to the British Duke Zhang Mao's mention on his deathbed. If Zhu Houzhao was said to be a betrothal to his and Zhang Mao's daughter, he would not be surprised.
But now Zhu Houzhao actually mentioned Zhu Fulai, the Duke of Chengguo. How could this not surprise Li Huan?
Before Li Huan could realize what was going on, Zhu Houzhao smiled and said: "Of course the British Duke Zhang Mao also had this intention before. I just thought that since Li Qing is so popular, whether it is Duke Cheng Guo or the British Duke.
If you all fall in love with Li Qing, then I will become a beautiful woman and grant you a marriage."
Something bad happened in Li Huan's heart, and he subconsciously wanted to speak, but Zhu Houzhao didn't give him a chance at all and said: "Today, I will order someone to prepare a decree to summon the British Duke and the Chengguo Duke to send the daughters of the two mansions.
I betroth you to Li Qing as my wife, regardless of age."
"Your Majesty, no, this is too ridiculous!"
Li Huan couldn't help but shook his head at Zhu Houzhao.
Zhu Houzhao looked at Li Huan's nervous look and couldn't help but smile and said: "Why is it ridiculous? I have made a promise to Duke Cheng and the Duke of England, so I will naturally fulfill my promise. Could it be that Li Qing wants me to make a promise?"
And people who have no faith?"
Li Huan smiled bitterly and said: "Your Majesty, if you really want to marry the two noble ladies, you can choose one of them. Why do you have to marry them both to me and let people know about it? I don't know how to arrange the marriage behind the scenes."
Woolen cloth."
Zhu Houzhao looked at Li Huan with a serious expression and said: "If it weren't for Li Qing and you really couldn't deal with the civil servant group, I would have thought of selecting the daughter of an important minister among the important civil and military officials to be betrothed to Li Qing."
Li Huan was just a little stunned at this time. When he reacted, he looked at Zhu Houzhao and said: "Your Majesty, even if you want to bring the relationship between the minister and the nobles closer, there is no need to separate the British Duke and the Chengguo Duke.
Your noble daughter is betrothed to me."
Obviously Li Huan had understood Zhu Houzhao's intention. Zhu Houzhao's move was completely to help him solve the resistance of the huge noble forces in the Beijing camp that would hinder his reorganization of the Beijing camp in the future.
Zhu Houzhao looked at Li Huan and said: "If the British Duke Zhang Mao is still alive, with his prestige and qualifications, if you marry the legitimate daughter of the British Duke, you will naturally be accepted by the Xungui Group. When the time comes, Zhang Mao will control you and regroup."
In Jingying, there will definitely be no trouble in your place."
As he spoke, Zhu Houzhao sighed slightly and said: "It's a pity that Zhang Mao died, and Zhang Lun is far behind Zhang Mao after all. The British government alone cannot suppress the nobles in Beijing, but if we add Cheng Guo
With the power of the government, the nobles in the capital will definitely not be able to stir up any trouble."
Li Huan couldn't help but said: "Even if we are married to two different families, I still have a way to deal with the people of the Xungui Group in the capital camp."
Zhu Houzhao shook his head and said: "Li Qing, what method will you use? I can guess it without thinking. You are in charge of Jinyiwei. It is not difficult to catch these people. The key is that you have offended the civil servant group in the court. If
If you offend Wu Xun again, and both civil and military forces reject you, then you will really have no helper."
Zhu Houzhao said directly: "I have decided on this matter. Today I will order someone to prepare a decree and send it to the British Duke's Palace and the Chengguo Duke's Palace. Li Qing only needs to wait for the decree of marriage."
The emperor had already spoken to such an extent. What else could Li Huan say? He had no choice but to thank Zhu Houzhao and said, "My lord, thank you for your great kindness."
At this moment, Zhu Houzhao showed a smile on his face, helped Li Huan up and said, "Don't worry, Li Qing. The daughters of Duke Yingying and Duke Chengguo are the two most famous among the nobles.
Her appearance and character are all unparalleled. Once the news that I have promised her to Li Qing spreads, I don’t know how many people will envy Li Qing."
As he spoke, Zhu Houzhao sighed: "The British Duke and the Chengguo Duke are both retired from the country, and their backgrounds are not bad at all. It can be said that for an ordinary person to climb up to the Duke's mansion, it can save at least half a lifetime of hard work."
Li Huan said calmly: "Does your Majesty think that I need the support of these two families?"
Zhu Houzhao was stunned for a moment when he heard this, then he reacted and smiled: "What Li Qing said is that Li Qing, not only do you not need the support of their two families, but you can also bring them great benefits."
Zhu Houzhao suddenly sighed with emotion: "I suddenly discovered that the British Duke was really thinking about the British government until his death. I am afraid that before he died, he had a premonition that Li Qing, you would be a very popular minister in the future.
, so you mentioned to me that you want to get married."
Li Huan didn't say anything. Although Zhang Mao had a plan, it was human nature. Zhang Mao valued his future, but relatively speaking, marrying a woman from a British government family, even if Li Huan didn't care, was invisible.
It will definitely win the recognition of many distinguished people.
Even though Xungui has declined, there are still three points in the rotten ship. Li Huan was a little worried before that once the old and weak in the Beijing camp and some generals in the army were eliminated, the generals that were lacking in the army would be replaced.
Where did it come from.
Of course, Li Huan could suggest that the emperor reopen martial arts. After all, martial arts had always existed in the Ming Dynasty. However, compared to liberal arts, martial arts had been abandoned for a long time and had almost no sense of existence.
During the Chenghua Dynasty that year, Wang Zhi strongly recommended that the emperor reopen the martial arts department. However, as Wang Zhi lost power, the martial arts department was abandoned again, and it has not been opened for decades.
The martial arts department must be reopened. Otherwise, it would be a joke to revitalize the military. Without a steady stream of military lieutenants and generals flowing into the army, even if the Beijing camp is reorganized this time, it may not take a few years to change the situation.
If the materials are changed, Jingying will rot again.
Martial arts must be reopened, and there are not without outstanding talents in the Wuxun Group. For example, Zhu Shuo, who became the Duke of Guo, not only has outstanding martial arts skills, but is also familiar with military literature and has a systematic family inheritance.
That is to say, experience on the battlefield, and with a little tempering, you will become a good general.
Among the nobles, there must be many people like Zhu Shuo. If they can be recognized by the noble group, the talents in these noble groups will definitely be used by it.
Coupled with the poor generals selected by the martial arts department, it will be enough to form a force in the army that can compete with the civilian group.
Zhu Houzhao glanced at Li Huan and said, "Come with me for a walk."
After hearing this, Li Huan followed Zhu Houzhao out of the Qianqing Palace and walked in the Forbidden City. Except for Qiu Ju who was accompanying him and several minor chamberlains and palace maids, there were only patrolling imperial guards around.
The huge imperial city seemed empty. Zhu Houzhao clasped his hands behind his back and said with a leisurely look: "I heard that Liu Daban has returned to the Bureau of Ceremonies and is now gathering the officials who had taken refuge with him in the past to take crazy revenge on him in the past.
The officials who have added insult to injury are all these officials who are so overwhelmed that they have no time to pay attention to you, Li Qing."
When Li Huan heard this, he couldn't help but think that the information collected by the Jinyiwei Yamen was really what the emperor said. Liu Jin was really going crazy to find the mistakes and omissions of the civil and military officials in the DPRK. However, Liu Jin caught any trace of it.
An omission is bound to be revenge.
Of course, this revenge does not mean that Liu Jin kills all these officials one by one, but that he keeps an eye on these unlucky officials and does not give them any chance to be lazy.
If Liu Jin was really crazy about revenge and killed many officials, then the civil and military officials would definitely make a fuss and even threaten to depose the government.
But Liu Jin didn't do that at all. Instead, he only scratched their sore feet and made omissions. He was justified in targeting them, but it was useless even if he went to the cabinet to make a fuss.
Thinking of the exhausted courtiers who were tormented by Liu Jin but had to work hard, Li Huan couldn't help laughing and said: "Well, if you work hard, you won't be caught by Liu Jin's pigtails and targeted like crazy."
Zhu Houzhao couldn't help laughing and said: "I never thought that Liu Daban would go through such a long time in prison. Although his temper is still vengeful, his method is much more sophisticated."
As he spoke, Zhu Houzhao glanced at Li Huan and said, "That's fine. I was originally worried that he would act even more radically. Then he would really make people angry, and even I wouldn't end up well. Now it seems that I am worrying too much."
Now that Liu Jin is causing trouble to those civil servants, Li Qing, your place can be much cleaner."
When Li Huan accompanied Zhu Houzhao to talk to each other in the imperial city, a team of royal guards, led by Du Guang, had arrived in Qianshan County, Guangxin Prefecture, Jiangxi Chengxuan Government Envoy.
Feijia Town, Qianshan County, Guangxin Prefecture, just by hearing the name of the town, you will know that Feijia Town is naturally dominated by people with the surname Fei.
There are thousands of people in the entire Feijia town, and people from the Fei clan account for almost half of them.
Originally, the Fei family was a wealthy family in Feijia Town. A few years ago, the Fei family gave birth to Fei Hong, the youngest Hanlin scholar. Decades later, the man who was the top scholar in the Imperial Academy was awarded the title of Hanlin bachelor.
Fei Hong is already a bachelor of the Wenyuan Pavilion and is in charge of the Ministry of Industry. He is a certain future Pavilion boss.
And over the decades, as Fei Hong rose step by step, the benefits Fei Hong fed back to the Fei family became greater.
The Fei family relies on Fei Hong to be an important minister in the court, but no one dares to provoke the Fei family in the local area. Especially in recent years, with the calls for Fei Hong to join the cabinet getting louder and louder, the Fei family has become more and more important in the local area.
The momentum became louder and louder.
Not to mention the entire Feijia Town, it is also the entire Qianshan County. It can be said that the tentacles of the Fei family have touched every aspect. In such a large Qianshan County, the land occupied by the Fei family alone is more than 100,000 acres.
There are so many, such as hundreds of shops, and so many others, it is already the most influential family in Qianshan County.
On this day, the Fei clan in Qianshan County, led by their patriarch Fei Lai, burned incense and worshiped in front of a newly built temple.
If someone sees it, they will definitely be surprised, because the statue enshrined in this temple is none other than the seated statue of Fei Hong.
Things like a shrine cannot be built casually. Without enough merit and influence, let alone whether it can be built, even if it is built, I am afraid it will be torn down by the local government.
No.
However, the Fei family in Qianshan County built such a shrine for Fei Hong in such a grand and grand manner.
In order to build this living temple, the Fei family spent tens of thousands of taels of silver. They built this living temple solemnly and solemnly, and the seated statue was carved by the hands of skilled craftsmen, making it lifelike and like a real person.
As Fei Hong's brother and now the patriarch of the Fei clan, Fei Lai's birth shrine has been built, so he naturally wants to lead the Fei clan to burn incense and worship.
Thousands of members of the Fei clan went out together, and the commotion caused in Qianshan County was not small at all. Many people in Qianshan County learned that the shrine built by the Fei clan was opened today, and they couldn't help but rush over from all directions to see it.
lively.
After all, in such a large Qianshan County, who doesn't know that the Fei family in Qianshan County is about to have a senior official. Normally, when a high-ranking official is born in a place, it will often bring great benefits to the place.
It's a pity that this may not apply to Qianshan County. A few decades ago, there were no well-known big families in Qianshan County. Everyone was in the same boat, competing with and restricting each other. There was no monopoly in one county.
, the life of ordinary people is not too bad.
However, since the Fei family gave birth to Fei Hong, the Fei family's influence and power in Qianshan County has become stronger and stronger as Fei Hong's official position in the court was promoted.
Gradually, many families that could still compete with the Fei family in the past were either forced to stay away from Qianshan County, or were destroyed by the Fei family. After decades, no one could be found in the entire Qianshan County.
A family that can compete with the Qianshan Fei family.
Under such circumstances, the lives of the people in Qianshan County suddenly became poorer. Because of the rise of the Fei family, the Fei family began to annex land crazily.
No matter what means they use to get the land they like, the Fei family will get it.
It is conceivable that a large number of people have lost their fields and can only become tenants of the Fei family. They work hard for a year every year, and only 20 to 30% of them can fall into their hands, which means they can barely make ends meet.
Compared to the past, it is like the sky and the earth.
In addition, the salt that people eat, the tea they drink, and the clothes and fabrics they wear are all sold by Fei's shop in Qianshan, and the prices are often a full 10% higher than elsewhere.
It can be said that since the rise of the Fei clan in Qianshan County, the lives of the people in Qianshan County have become increasingly difficult.
Many people are really angry and dare not speak out against the Fei family in Qianshan.
Now looking at that solemn shrine, many people are even silently cursing in their hearts.
Under the leadership of Fei Lai, the core members of the Fei clan in Qianshan slowly walked into the living temple.
The Shengsi Temple is extremely spacious, and the main hall can accommodate dozens of people.
When you walk into the Sheng Temple, you can see that in the middle is the seated statue of Fei Hong. This seated statue is lifelike. On the side is a record of Fei Hong's life. Of course, Fei Hong did not die, so his life is naturally
It is incomplete, but it is recorded that this year Fei Hong was awarded the title of Bachelor of Wenyuan Pavilion.
Fei Lai looked at the seated statue of his brother Fei Hong and thought that in the past few decades, relying on his brother Fei Hong, the Fei family had become the largest family in Qianshan County. If his brother could one day enter the cabinet and become a minister,
If the minister said so, then the Qianshan Fei family may not be able to go out of Qianshan County and expand the family's power to the entire Guangxin Prefecture.
By then, the power of the Qianshan Fei clan will inevitably increase dramatically.
Fei Lai felt hot all over when he thought that in the future, the stores owned by Qianshan Fei's would be spread throughout Guangxin Prefecture, and the land they owned would increase exponentially.
The feeling of growing and growing the family is so satisfying, especially since Fei Hong is in charge of the court, and the local officials do not dare to care about many matters of the Fei family in Qianshan.
Even if someone goes to the government to annex land or something, it will be useless. It can even be said that even if a member of the Qianshan Fei family kills someone, the government will only turn a blind eye. As long as the Qianshan Fei family
If it can be settled, it means that the people will not hold the officials accountable.
Fei Lai felt that as the patriarch of the Qianshan Fei clan, and having led the Qianshan Fei clan to this point, he would definitely be remembered in the family tree and leave a strong mark in the family tree.
At this time, a ceremony official solemnly said: "The auspicious time has come, worship!"
Fei Lai and others began to worship Fei Hong's seated statue. Some Fei clan members prayed silently in their hearts that Fei Hong could bless them and the Fei clan would become stronger and richer.
At the same time, Qianshan County Government
Shen Lian, the magistrate of Qianshan County, was a young seventh-grade official. When he first came to Qianshan County, he originally wanted to do some practical things for the people.
But when Shen Lian actually came to Qianshan County and became the magistrate of Qianshan County, he was surprised to find that the entire Qianshan County was almost entirely decided by the Qianshan Fei family. His orders as the magistrate of Qianshan County were in the county seat.
It may still be useful, but after leaving the county town and reaching the local area, it seems to be of no use at all.
There were even one or two times when people sued the Fei clan in Qianshan County. Shen Lian originally wanted to take over the case and order people to arrest the Fei clan members who committed the murder, but the county magistrate, chief registrar, and clerk
Inspections always tried to dissuade him immediately.
Then he informed Shen Lian of the stakes involved. Even if he, the county magistrate, issued orders, inspections, county magistrates, officials, etc., they would only obey and disobey them, and they would not dare to offend Qianshan Fei.
After several times, Shen Lian truly realized that as long as the Qianshan Fei family was not involved in Qianshan County, he was still the magistrate of Qianshan County.
.
On this day, Shen Lian was handling official duties in the county government office as usual, when suddenly he heard a sound of the earth shaking.
This was a movement caused by a large group of people acting together. Shen Lian was naturally alerted by such a big movement.
Before Shen Lian could get up, he saw a government official running in with a panicked look on his face, and said in a trembling voice to Shen Lian: "My lord, sir, I'm sorry, the Jin Yiwei people are here."
Shen Lian couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this, with a look of astonishment on his face.
What are the Jin Yiwei people doing here? Has Shen Lian committed some serious crime, but it is unlikely that the Jin Yiwei will be used to arrest him.
Shen Lian, who asked himself that he had not committed any heinous crime, was muttering in his heart when he saw Du Guang, who was wearing the official robes of the Hundred Households of Jinyiwei, strode in with more than a dozen Jinyiwei.
Seeing the Jin Yiwei who broke into the yamen, Shen Lian couldn't help but cough slightly and frowned: "You guys are trespassing in the county yamen area without permission. If you don't give me an explanation, I will definitely write to the three divisions and give you a copy." "
Du Guang glanced at Shen Lian indifferently and said, "You are the magistrate of Qianshan County, Shen Lian, the magistrate who still has some conscience?"
Hearing this, Shen Lian couldn't help but said angrily: "Bold!"
Although Du Guang, the Hundred Households of Jinyiwei, is one level higher than Shen Lian, the county magistrate, from the bottom of his heart, Shen Lian despises Du Guang, the Hundred Households of Jinyiwei, so even when facing Du Guang, He also dared to scold the other party.
Du Guang just sneered and said: "Shen Lian, I have come from the capital. I have been ordered by the commander of the Jin Yiwei to capture the Fei clan in Qianshan. I now order you, Shen Lian, to assist the Jin Yiwei in handling the case."
Shen Lian opened his eyes wide, with a shocked look on his face. He even looked at Du Guang in disbelief and said tremblingly: "You... what did you say, did you steal the Feishan family of Qianshan?"
No wonder Shen Lian listened to Du Guang's words as if he had heard some big joke. The Fei family of Qianshan had Fei Hong as an official in the court, and the Jin Yiwei wanted to capture the Fei family of Qianshan. How could this be possible, unless it was...
Suddenly, an idea came to Shen Lian's mind, and he immediately looked at Du Guang.
Du Guang snorted coldly and said: "It's just Fei from Qianshan. Fei Hong was involved in the serious crime of treason against the emperor. Your Majesty specially ordered me, the Jinyi Guards, to supervise the case. Following the order of the commander, I came here to copy the lead." Shanfei."
At this time, Shen Lian came back to his senses. He had no doubts about Du Guang's words. No one dared to pretend to be a Jin Yiwei, let alone rob the Qianshan Fei family.
But soon Shen Lian looked at Du Guang and said: "Based on your words, I advise you not to go. Otherwise, you will be beaten to death by the Qianshan Fei clan. Wouldn't it be an injustice?"
Du Guang couldn't help but raise his eyebrows when he heard this, and snorted coldly: "I want to see it, who dares?"
Du Guang said to Shen Lian: "Master Shen, please."
Obviously, the reason Du Guang brought Shen Lian with him was because he hoped to use Shen Lian's identity to appease the people.
Sometimes, what they, the Jin Yiwei, cannot do with their intervention, but local officials like Shen Lian can easily do it with their intervention.
Du Guang obviously also considered the influence of the Qianshan Fei family in the local area, so he specially brought Shen Lian with him, because he was afraid that the ignorant people would be bewitched by the Qianshan Fei family and fight against them. At that time, Shen Lian's status as a parent official But it's very important.
When Shen Lian reluctantly walked out of the county government office and saw the guards in white brocade uniforms in front of the government office, and then looked at the black crowd of probably hundreds of guardsmen, Shen Lian finally understood why Du Guang was so He had the confidence to raid a local wealthy family like Fei's family in Wuqian Mountain.
A local wealthy family like the Qianshan Fei family occupies more than 100,000 acres of land in one county alone. There are probably thousands of tenant farmers who depend on the Qianshan Fei family for their livelihood. In this situation Next, if the Fei family of Qianshan climbs high and calls out, they may not be able to gather hundreds or even thousands of ignorant young and strong people for their use.
If there was no strong force to suppress him, Shen Lian would not have said those words before, and he was even worried that Du Guang would be beaten to death by Qianshan Fei's people.
However, Shen Lian felt relieved at this moment. With so many Jinyi guards and local guards deployed to frighten the ignorant people, it was enough to capture the Fei family in Buqianshan.
After glancing at Shen Lian, Du Guang said calmly: "Master Magistrate, please."
Soon a group of people rushed towards Qianshan Fei's luxurious building complex in Qianshan County.
The roots of Qianshan County are in Feijia Town, Qianshan County. However, after decades of development, many Fei clan members have moved into the county and built a luxurious Feijia mansion in the county seat.
Fei Hong's ancestral temple built by the Fei family is not too far from the Fei family's mansion.
When Shen Lian, Du Guang and others showed up at the mansion where the Fei clan lived, and ordered people to surround the Fei clan's mansion, Du Guang gave the order, and immediately saw dozens of Jinyi guards rushing into the mansion.
Soon there was a burst of screaming and cursing in the mansion.
But soon a small flag officer of the Imperial Guard ran over and said to Du Guang: "Sir, except for the old, weak, women and children, almost all the core men of the Fei family are not in the mansion."
Du Guang couldn't help but be stunned and said in surprise: "Where are the people?"
At this moment, Shen Lian suddenly said: "But I have forgotten that today seems to be the day when the birth shrine built by the Fei family for Fei Hong is completed. The core members of the Fei family should be at Fei's birthplace at this moment." There is a temple."
Du Guang was stunned for a moment and said in shock: "What? Build a shrine for Fei Hong? How can the Fei family do such a thing?"
Shen Lian said calmly: "So what, isn't it just to build a living temple? It's not like the Fei family has never done anything more exaggerated than this."
Taking a long breath, Du Guang sneered and said: "Okay, okay, it seems that as the commander said, most of these corrupt officials have nothing good to offer."
While talking, Du Guang shouted: "Here comes someone, follow me to get him."
Following Du Guang's shout, dozens of figures were seen retreating from the mansion. They were the same imperial guards who had rushed into the mansion earlier.
Du Guang casually ordered more than a dozen Jinyi guards and ordered: "You stay here and lead people to guard the Fei family's mansion for me. Don't let anyone escape."
Soon Du Guang and Shen Lian saw from a distance many people gathered in front of a tall, solemn and solemn shrine.
You can even smell the scent of incense from a distance. You can imagine how many incense candles Fei burned when she paid homage to Fei Hong.
Du Guang frowned, glanced at the people gathered in front of the Sheng Temple, and shouted to a few imperial guards: "Go and disperse these people."
Shen Lian coughed lightly and said, "Du Baihu, let me disperse the people."
Du Guang glanced at Shen Lian and nodded slightly. It was natural for Shen Lian, the parent official, to do this kind of thing.
Shen Lian was surrounded by a group of government officials, and amidst the shouts and curses of some government officials, the people who had gathered in front of the Sheng Temple ducked away one after another. When they saw Shen Lian and his entourage, they all The look of awe fully demonstrated what kind of intimidation the county's parents' officials had among the people.
Fei Lai, who was worshiping in the Sheng Temple, couldn't help but frowned when he heard the commotion outside, and immediately said to a tribesman next to him: "Go and see what is going on. Who dares to make a noise here and risk his life?" Yet?"
Today is the day when the Sheng Temple was completed. Someone dares to cause trouble here. Do you think he dare not kill anyone?
Before the tribesman walked out of the shrine, Shen Lian appeared at the entrance of the shrine with a team of government officials.
Fei Lai couldn't help but frowned when he saw Shen Lian and the officials behind him. Ever since he took office, Shen Lian had been trying to cause trouble for the Fei family. After several lessons, Shen Lian finally calmed down a little. Be more honest.
Originally, Fei Lei was thinking of writing a letter to his brother sometime to see if Shen Lian could be transferred away or demoted to a barbaric place.
I just didn't expect that Shen Lian would be so bold. He dared to make trouble at this time and offend the Qianshan Fei family. Even a small magistrate of the county couldn't care less.
Frowning, Fei Lai glanced at Shen Lian coldly and said, "Isn't the magistrate here to pay homage to my brother?"
If it was in the past, Fei Lai would be so rude, and Shen Lian would tolerate it. Who made him unable to offend Fei Hong, the future pavilion elder.
But now, Shen Lian is not afraid anymore. Qianshan Fei family is about to disappear, so why should he be afraid of Fei Lai?
Li Huan's name has been heard of even if he is only a small seventh-grade county magistrate in the local area.
Being targeted by Li Huan, coupled with Fei Hong's serious crime of treason, the Fei family was destined to be doomed.
Immediately, Shen Lian snorted coldly and said, "How dare you, Fei Lai, to kneel down quickly when you see me?"
This shout only made Shen Lian release all the pent-up anger he had suffered from the Fei family in the past few years, not to mention how comfortable he felt in his heart.
Shen Lian felt relieved, but everyone in the Fei family and even the people watching the excitement were dumbfounded, staring at Shen Lian in stunned silence.
There are still people in Qianshan County who dare to talk to Fei Lai, the leader of the Fei clan, even Shen Lian, who is the county magistrate.
Fei Lai was stunned and looked at Shen Lian in astonishment. Then he realized what he was doing and a senseless anger suddenly rose in his heart. He took a step forward and shouted at Shen Lian: "Shen Lian, you are crazy, don't forget, As long as I write a letter, my eldest brother can take the official hat off your head, or even demote you to a remote place as an official."
However, Shen Lian sneered and said, "Fei Hong? He's afraid he will never have this kind of opportunity again."
"How brave!"
Fei Lai shouted angrily, pointed at Shen Lian and said: "Be brave Shen Lian, don't think that because you are the magistrate of Qianshan County, the head of our family will not dare to do anything to you."
Fei Lai actually directly threatened the parents of a county official. His courage was really outrageous.
Before Shen Lian could speak, at this moment, a loud shout came: "Hahaha, I have also heard that local wealthy families are so powerful that even local officials scolded and ordered them at will. I didn't believe it before and never thought about it. Today I really saw it."
When this voice came, Fei Lai couldn't help but frown, and coldly snorted: "Who are you, get out of here."
After Fei Lai finished speaking, he saw Du Guang, dressed in brocade robes, striding over with more than a dozen brocade robes.
Fei Lai couldn't help but shrink his eyes when he saw the person coming. He couldn't help but be surprised and said: "Jin Yiwei?"
After giving Fei Lai a disdainful look, Du Guang sneered and said, "We are quite knowledgeable and know that we are Jin Yiwei."
Although Fei Lai was extremely surprised, when he thought of his brother, he immediately shouted to Du Guang with confidence: "So what if he is a royal guard? My brother is an official in the court and is a close friend of all the ministers, and he can be consulted at any time." So what if I’m going to meet His Majesty as a royal guard?"
Du Guang clapped his hands and said: "That's good, but it's a pity that your brother should not have plotted to kill the emperor and intended to rebel. Now he has committed suicide by taking poison."
"What!"
Fei Lei couldn't help but swayed when he heard the words, his eyes were wide open, and his face was full of horror and disbelief.
If this news is true, it would be a real disaster for the Qianshan Fei clan.
Even a local wealthy family like the Qianshan Fei Clan, once involved in the serious crime of treason, is as easy to destroy as an ant.
The rest of the Fei clan also looked horrified. The crime of treason was to punish the nine clans, and these people, let alone the nine clans, could be killed by all three clans.
Already.
"Impossible, this is absolutely impossible, a frame-up, this must be a frame-up..."
The Youfei clan members could not accept such a desperate fact and screamed loudly.
Fei Lai came back to his senses, his eyes were a little red, and he stared at Du Guang and said: "I don't believe it, but what proof is there? If there is no imperial edict from the emperor, you are falsely passing on the imperial edict..."
Du Guang sneered and said: "Jin Yiwei is handling the case, why do you need an imperial edict? I have commanded my lord to raid your home so many times, how have you ever needed an imperial edict!"
As he spoke, Du Guang said to the group of guards behind him: "Come on, let me take down all these remnants of rebels. If there are any resisters, we will kill them without mercy."
A group of royal guards rushed forward immediately. Fei Lai stepped back repeatedly and exclaimed: "How dare you..."
At this moment, a Fei clan member shouted: "Chief, let's fight with them."
Du Guang sneered and said: "Anyone who dares to resist the government will be regarded as treason!"
The tribesman sneered: "Anyway, we are all going to die. Let's fight for it."
As he said that, the man jumped up and pounced on a royal guard with extremely strong skills. Judging from the situation, he was still a martial artist.
Unfortunately, as soon as the man jumped up, he heard the sound of arrows piercing the air. The next moment, several arrows were seen entering his body, killing him on the spot.
The rest of the Fei clan, who had just had the idea of resisting, were so frightened that they dared not move when they saw this situation.
The Ming Dynasty's remaining power is still there. Unless they are really ready to rebel, no matter whether they are ordinary people, local powerful people, or high-ranking nobles, they will not dare to resist when facing the government.
Fei Hong participated in the plot to murder the emperor, but the Fei clan did not know it. They had no intention of rebellion. Even now, facing the arrest of the Jin Yiwei, there were only a few who really had the courage to stand up and fight.
Especially the person who resisted first was shot dead on the spot, which immediately suppressed everyone.
The men and horses of the Jin Yiwei immediately stepped forward, took out their shackles, and quickly captured all the dozens of core members of the Fei family in this temple.
On a normal day, it would be really difficult to arrest all the core members of the Fei clan in such a neat manner. Maybe if the news leaks out, someone will hide, which will add great difficulty to Jin Yiwei's arrest.
However, this time, thanks to the completion of the Fei Hongsheng Temple, almost all the core members of the Fei family rushed back from all over Qianshan County, and they were blocked and all the pots were served.
Here, Du Guang led the Jinyi Guards, mobilized soldiers and horses from the local guard station, jointly arrested the Fei clan members, and began to confiscate the Fei clan's property.
Among the capital, Li Huan said goodbye to the emperor and was preparing to return to the palace after leaving the imperial city.
After all, there are no urgent matters in the capital camp or Jinyiwei, and Feng is new here. In addition, the emperor has appointed Feng as a first-class royal wife, and there is also a marriage grant. Li Huan must communicate with Feng in advance.
Say hello, otherwise, when the imperial edict suddenly arrives in the house without any preparation, Li Huan is really worried that Mrs. Feng will be frightened.
But before Li Huan returned to the mansion, he saw a knight in gilded clothes galloping towards him. When he saw Li Huan from a distance, he suddenly reined in the reins, stopped in front of Li Huan, then turned over and dismounted and bowed to Li Huan.
Next: "Your Majesty, Commander, there is urgent news in the yamen, and it is necessary for Sir, Commander, to go back immediately."
When Li Huan heard this, he couldn't help but froze for a moment. He raised his brows and glanced at the Imperial Guard Captain and said, "Do you know what's going on?"
The Jin Yiwei shook his head and said: "I don't know, but Mr. Chen ordered me to look for you. If I see you, I must ask you to rush back to the Yamen as soon as possible. If there is any urgent matter, please report to you."
Hearing what the Jinyi Guardsman said, Li Huan knew that something big must have happened. Otherwise, Chen Ke would not have sent anyone to look for him.
After all, if it wasn't really a big deal, it would be okay to ask someone from Jinyiwei to bring him a message.
Now the captain of the Jinyi Guards has no idea what happened, so it must be a major event that cannot be known to more people.
With this thought in his mind, Li Huan immediately nodded, jerked his horse away, and the horse immediately sprang out and headed straight for the Jinyiwei Yamen.
In the Jinyiwei Yamen, Chen Ke was sitting there. In front of him stood a small flag official and a stack of confessions.
Chen Ke's eyes fell on the confession, his face was full of solemnity, he raised his head and said to the little flag official: "Does anyone else know about this besides you?"
The little flag officer said with a look of fear on his face: "Sir, apart from the subordinates, only the brothers responsible for the interrogation know about it. Now the subordinates have ordered people to keep him under guard and will never leak it.
Got the news.”
After listening to the words of the little flag officer, Chen Ke nodded slightly and said: "Well done, this kind of information must not be leaked. I have ordered people to find the master when he returns. If you can torture out such important information, you will definitely be indispensable."
Your reward."
