Chapter Three Hundred and Thirty People Don't Do It For Oneself
Jin Li couldn't help but was stunned, and subconsciously said: "Who are they if they are not Sun Chang? Do you think someone dares to pretend to be Jin Yiwei?"
After all, in Jin Li's knowledge, apart from Sun Chang and others, he didn't know any other Jin Yiwei. Now that Jin San'er told him that a group of strange Jin Yiwei appeared outside the Yamen, Jin Li's first reaction was that someone was pretending to be one.
Jinyiwei.
While he was talking, there was a burst of noise outside, especially the sound of hurried footsteps approaching the hall, and Jin Li could even hear the sound of scolding coming from not far away.
In front of the Salt Transport Bureau, a team of Jinyi guards were wearing eye-catching Jinyi robes, with embroidered spring knives on their waists. They turned over and dismounted, and saw a group of Jinyi guards surrounding a Jinyiwei Qianhu, blocking the Salt Transport Bureau.
The gate of the Yamen.
The two petty officials guarding the yamen gate looked puzzled when they saw the sudden appearance of the Jin Yiwei. Almost out of reflex, they stepped forward to stop him and said, "Salt transportation is an important part of the yamen. What do you want to do?"
What?"
They have also dealt with Jinyiwei on weekdays, and they even have a good relationship with Sun Chang, the Jinyiwei Baihu. The adults in their family are even close friends with Sun Chang, so even though these two officials said they saw Jinyiwei
I was a little surprised when I saw him, but I didn't feel any fear at all. I even dared to step forward to stop him and ask questions.
In the past few years, Chen Yao had followed the right person, and he had gradually climbed up to the position of Jin Yiwei Qianhu. This time, he followed Li Huan's order and came to Yangzhou to capture the core figure of the Chen family.
And Jin Li, Chen Wenliang's favorite disciple and Chen's son-in-law, occupies the high position of the head of the salt transportation department. It can be said that he is an important figure in the Chen family's control of the Lianghuai salt industry. He can definitely be regarded as the core of the Chen family.
.
Even Chen Yao personally came to capture Jin Li because of his importance.
The two Jin Yiwei were full of evil spirits. Seeing that the gatekeepers dared to step forward to stop them, they couldn't help but snorted: "Bold, Jin Yiwei is in charge, and the rest of the people are still waiting for you to retreat."
The two officials were shocked when they heard this. Before they could react, they were roughly pushed away, and then they saw a group of guards in golden uniforms rushing into the yamen.
The transportation of salt made the yamen suddenly become extremely lively, and many officials who were alarmed ran out of the rooms to watch the excitement.
Even though their yamen is not big, it is a yamen with a lot of fat and rich jobs. Anyone who can work in this yamen must have some background. Otherwise, it is impossible to gain a foothold in such a rich yamen.
It can be said that all the big and small officials in this yamen have a lot of money, and the worst ones have at least tens of millions of dollars. They are deliberately flattered by the salt merchants on weekdays, so that these officials, big and small, have developed a kind of talent.
A mind that is not afraid of anything.
Even when they saw a group of Jin Yiwei breaking in, most of the officials did not show any fear in their eyes. Instead, they looked at Chen Yao and others as if they were watching a good show.
The eyes of the officials around him naturally fell on Chen Yao. How could the strangeness in the eyes of those officials be hidden from Chen Yao.
Chen Yao couldn't help but frowned. It was quite rare that these officials were not afraid of them. You must know that even if he met their royal guards, the princes and dignitaries in the capital would change their expressions.
Suppressing the surprise in his heart, Chen Yao pressed the handle of the Xiuchun knife with one hand and shouted in a deep voice: "Where is Jin Li?"
Chen Yao shouted, and the surroundings immediately became silent. Then he heard someone say to Chen Yao: "Master Jin is working in the back hall. This master..."
One person stepped forward subconsciously, as if he wanted to get close to Chen Yao, but Chen Yao just looked at him blankly, and then said to the Jin Yiwei beside him: "Go and bring Jin Li!"
When Jin Li heard the commotion outside and walked out of the hall, he happened to see a group of uniformed guards striding towards him.
The leader, a member of the Imperial Guard Baihu Official, naturally focused his attention on Jin Li, because the official uniform on Jin Li's body represented Jin Li's identity.
After a pause, Duan Ling held the Xiuchun Dao in one hand, stared at Jin Li like a hawk and said solemnly: "Your Excellency, you are Jin Li!"
You must know that Sun Chang, the 100-year-old Jin Yiwei officer, would politely call him Lord Jin. Now that Duan Ling called him by his first name so unceremoniously, Jin Li subconsciously frowned and said, "It's exactly this person."
Official, I don’t know what to call you, so what’s the point of looking for me?”
When Duan Ling saw Jin Li claiming his identity, he immediately waved his hand and said, "Bring this person to me."
As soon as the words fell, two figures came forward, and under Jin Li's stunned gaze, they grabbed Jin Li, and even took out the shackles and put them on Jin Li's belt.
Jin Li just came back to his senses at this moment, and shouted at Duan Ling: "How brave, do you know who I am? You even dare to arrest me, who are you sir..."
Hearing the commotion at this time, several Jin Li's confidants also gathered around, looking at Duan Ling and other Jin Yi guards with hostility. Some even subconsciously stepped forward to stop the Jin Yi guards from capturing Jin Li.
At this time, Shi Shiling snorted coldly and said: "Bold Jin Li, I have come to arrest you on the emperor's order. Your incident has been exposed!"
As he spoke, Duan Ling glanced at several Jin Li confidants with a cold gaze and said with a bit of disdain: "We are carrying out errands under the emperor's orders. If you dare to obstruct us, you will be punished for treason."
It has to be said that the charge of treason is still very shocking. As soon as Duan Ling finished speaking, several Jin Li's confidants changed their expressions and stopped walking.
Look at the official uniforms of Duan Ling and the others, and look at Jin Li who has a look of fear on his face. They look at each other, and I look at you, but they don’t dare to move, for fear that they will be regarded as such by the Jin Yiwei in front of them.
Treason.
After calming down the other officials, Duan Ling waved his hand and said: "Take them away."
Following Duan Ling's order, two Jin Yi guards escorted Jin Li to see Chen Yao. Duan Ling took the remaining Jin Yi guards into the hall of Jin Li's office and immediately took control of the Yamen.
An account book in it.
Jin Yiwei's actions soon made all the officials in the yamen look at each other. No matter how slow their reactions were, they could still realize that something big was going to happen to their yamen this time.
After all, Jiangnan is thousands of miles away from the capital. The news of Chen Wenliang's imprisonment has not yet spread to Jiangnan. The local officials are also unaware of the news of Chen Wenliang's dismissal. Therefore, the salt transport envoy Si Yamen has no idea about Jin Li's great backer. Chen Wenliang has already
was taken down.
Jin Li, who was pushed into the front hall, saw Chen Yao at first sight.
Chen Yao was dressed in the official uniform of a thousand royal guards, and he stood out among all the royal guards.
When Jin Li saw Chen Yao, his eyes shrank, but Jin Li said to Chen Yao: "Master Qianhu, I don't know what the official has done, and where you came from. Is there any misunderstanding in this?
My father-in-law is Mr. Chen Wenliang, the censor of Zuodu..."
Since the situation was not good, Jinli immediately moved out his biggest backer.
From Jin Li's point of view, with his father-in-law's connections and qualifications, he would have no fear even if he faced the commander of the Jinyi Guards. Therefore, when facing Chen Yao, a Jinyiwei Qianhu, Jin Li thought that as long as Chen Wenliang was moved out
It will definitely scare the opponent.
Chen Yao couldn't help laughing when he heard the words. While laughing, he pointed at Jin Li and said with a bit of disdain: "You said Chen Wenliang, that dog official. That dog official impeached my lord and framed important officials of the imperial court. He has been taken down by the emperor's order. I, the Jinyi Guards, are more
Taboo items such as armored stomachs and strong crossbows were found in Chen Wenliang's mansion, and the Chen family planned to rebel..."
Listening to Chen Yao's words, Jin Li felt as if he had been struck by lightning, and his whole face suddenly turned extremely pale. Especially when he heard Chen Yao say that the Chen family was involved in rebellion, his body went limp and almost collapsed on the ground.
"How is this possible, how is this possible..."
Jin Li, who kept muttering in his mouth, was really frightened. If he conspired to rebel, he would destroy the nine clans. His relationship with the Chen family was almost broken. If the Chen family was destroyed, he would not be able to escape the same fate.
.
Suddenly, Jin Li struggled violently, and shouted while struggling: "I'm wronged, I'm wronged. I really didn't know about the Chen family's rebellion. I can report Chen Wenliang for corruption and bribery, and care about people's lives. I can testify against the Chen family."
The leader of the clan, Chen Yuan, sold private salt and colluded with the Tatars..."
It seems that in order to survive, or because he was defeated by Chen Wenliang, the Chen family was frightened by being labeled as a rebel. Jin Li, who was just a lucky scholar, immediately made such a life-saving move.
All the officials around were also stunned by the news of Chen Wenliang's dismissal. To them, Chen Wenliang was a high-ranking figure, and Chen Wenliang could decide their fate with just a word.
The entire Salt Transport Bureau belongs to the Chen family rather than to the imperial court. Almost all officials in the yamen, large and small, have close relationships with the Chen family.
Now that the Chen family is being robbed, Jin Li is trying to protect himself by betraying the Chen family, so that the expressions of all the officials present are changing.
At this moment, a man in official uniform rushed out, even pulled out a dagger from his sleeve and pounced directly on Jin Li.
"My Chen family treats you well, Jin Li, how dare you betray our Chen family and want to slander our Chen family..."
Chen Li was a member of the Chen family, and was placed in the Yamen by the Chen family to assist Jin Li in controlling the entire Yamen. Seeing that Jin Li actually wanted to expose the Chen family's background, Chen Li almost instinctively had the idea of killing Jin Li.
And also took action.
The relationship between Jin Li and the Chen family is too close, and he knows too many secrets about the Chen family. If Jin Li cooperates with the Jin Yiwei to investigate the Chen family, then the Chen family will really have no secrets to speak of.
That’s really the point of no return.
But without Jin Li's testimony, perhaps many of the Chen family's secrets would not have been discovered by the Jin Yiwei, and by then the Chen family might still have a glimmer of hope.
"Be bold!"
Chen Yao didn't expect that someone would dare to kill someone in front of Jin Yiwei. He immediately shouted, unsheathed the embroidered spring knife in his hand, and the next moment he stabbed Chen Li's wrist with the knife. Accompanied by Chen Li's shrill scream, Chen Yao
Li Na's hand and the dagger he stabbed fell directly to the ground.
Chen Li, who had his wrists cut off, was pushed to the ground and tied up by the Jin Yiwei who reacted in an instant.
Blood spurted all over Jin Li's body and face. Chen Li suddenly went into a murderous rage, but Jin Li was frightened. When he saw Chen Li glaring at him, Jin Li couldn't help but trembled and subconsciously said to Chen Yao: "Sir
You must save me. I am willing to cooperate with Jin Yiwei. I know too many secrets of the Chen family. The Chen family will definitely not let me go..."
Chen Yao glanced at Chen Li, then his eyes fell on Jin Li and said calmly: "Don't worry, someone has already gone to arrest the core members of the Chen family. As long as you cooperate well with the Jin Yiwei to investigate the Chen family, no one can hurt you in the hands of the Jin Yiwei."
Every cent."
Jin Li breathed a sigh of relief, nodded his head expectantly, and said, "I know many of the secrets of the Chen family. I will definitely cooperate with Jin Yiwei to investigate and tell you everything I know."
Although it is said that no matter whether they can find evidence of the Chen family this time, the Chen family is destined to be destroyed, but if they can get evidence of the Chen family's crimes, it will better demonstrate the capabilities of their Jin Yiwei.
You must know that this matter has been heard by Heaven, and the emperor will pay attention to this matter. If their Jinyiwei can't even get evidence of Chen's crime, how will the emperor see their Jinyiwei's ability to do things!
Seemingly seeing that Jin Li was very knowledgeable about current affairs, Chen Yao patted Jin Li on the shoulder and said, "Very good. You are so knowledgeable. Perhaps His Majesty will spare your life in the hope that you will cooperate with us in this case."
While speaking, Chen Yao snorted coldly to the officials around him and said: "Everyone should stay there. No one is allowed to leave the Yamen without orders. Otherwise, Chen will be punished for being a party member and treason."
Here, Chen Yao controlled the Salt Transport Envoy Si Yamen and captured the key figure Jin Li. At the same time, in the prosperous Yangzhou City, a large mansion covering an area of several miles was being surrounded by a team of royal guards.
Got up.
The Chen Mansion in Yangzhou is definitely one of the best in Yangzhou City. The garden buildings are extremely luxurious, with small bridges, flowing water, and exotic flowers and plants. Except for the Chen family, there are really few houses that can spend more than a million taels.
The wealth is in a garden.
Chen Yuan was only in his fifties, but he could be considered a long-lived person in this era. This man was a younger brother of Chen Wenliang. He was extremely capable. With the support of Chen Wenliang, he not only became the head of the Chen family, but also became a member of the Chen Wenliang clan.
With seamless cooperation, the Chen family developed into one of the leading wealthy families in Yangzhou in just a few decades.
On this day, Chen Yuan, under the service of his new concubine, put on a fancy outfit and walked to an open martial arts field to practice martial arts.
Unlike Chen Wenliang, who was generally an orthodox scholar, Chen Yuan could be regarded as a scholar of both literature and martial arts. Although his literary skills were only obtained through examinations as a scholar, his martial arts were extremely superb.
At the beginning of the rise of the Chen family, Chen Yuan led the caravans formed by the family into the grasslands several times to open up trade routes. It can be said that his hands were stained with blood.
After stretching his muscles a bit, Chen Yuan freshened up a little and walked into a hall.
There are several people in the hall at the moment. If anyone sees them, they will definitely recognize that these people are the core figures of the Chen family. There are Chen Yuan's brothers and sons. It can be said that most of the people who can take charge of the family are here.
Even some people had puzzled looks on their faces. They had received the news not long ago and rushed back all the way. They were extremely curious about what happened, so that Chen Yuan, the clan leader, actually asked them to let go.
Everything in hand is rushed back.
The muscular Chen Long is Chen Yuan's second son. He has inherited Chen Yuan's martial arts and is not weak in cultivation. He has always been responsible for the military strength of the Chen family. At this time, Chen Long said to Chen Yuan solemnly: "Father.
, the child is preparing to follow the escort salt ship to the north, you call the child back urgently, is there something urgent? "
