The reaction of everyone was naturally in the eyes of Zhu Chang, and also in the eyes of Lin Pingzhi and others.
Especially when Lin Pingzhi's half-smiling gaze fell on Zhu Chang, even Zhu Chang, who was a guard of thousands of households and was in charge of a big city like Yangzhou, couldn't help but feel frightened.
The local Jin Yiwei Qianhu like him can be regarded as a powerful person in the local area. Usually, the local dignitaries, gentry and the like have to fawn on him or at least maintain the relationship between the two parties.
, few people would offend a middle- and high-level official like him.
Therefore, Zhu Chang had nothing to worry about and fear from local officials. After all, the Jinyiwei belonged to the emperor's personal army and had always belonged only to the emperor and were not subject to the supervision and leadership of local officials.
But not being afraid of local officials does not mean that Zhu Chang can ignore his colleagues from the capital.
Don't look at the fact that Lin Pingzhi is also a member of the Jinyiwei Qianhu official position like him. Even if we talk about qualifications, Lin Pingzhi cannot be compared with him.
But Zhu Chang naturally lowered his head in front of Lin Pingzhi. To put it bluntly, Lin Pingzhi came from the capital, which was equivalent to half an imperial envoy. More importantly, as a member of the Imperial Guard, who could compare to Zhu Chang?
Everyone knows the relationship between Lin Pingzhi and Li Huan.
Li Huan is the commander of the Jin Yiwei, the top leader of the Jin Yiwei, and the person standing behind Lin Pingzhi, the Jin Yiwei Qianhu, is Li Huan.
Even if he lent Zhu Chang more courage, Zhu Chang would not dare to offend Lin Pingzhi, a person with a profound background.
Not long ago, Lin Pingzhi and his men suddenly appeared in the yamen. Zhu Chang was frightened, fearing that Lin Pingzhi was here to cause trouble for him.
Fortunately, Lin Pingzhi just ordered him to bring people to the Chen Mansion. It seemed that they were here to cause trouble for the Chen Mansion, so Zhu Chang breathed a sigh of relief.
No matter how much filial piety the Chen family gave him on weekdays, the relationship between the two parties was extremely harmonious. But on the way here, Zhu Chang had already made up his mind that he would do whatever Lin Pingzhi asked him to do. He would never do it.
Can you say anything good for the Chen family on this matter?
Install the latest version.]
It's just that Zhu Chang didn't expect that the reaction of his confidants would be so slow. He ordered the man to enter the Chen Mansion, but his men didn't react at all. They even looked at him, without looking at Lin Pingzhi who was watching him.
Does the look in his eyes reveal a different meaning?
Zhu Chang, whose heart was tense, couldn't help but cursed at the few Jin Yiwei Baihu who were under his command: "You bastard, didn't you hear my order? Come in and get the person."
Zhu Chang's loud shout made all the Jinyiwei officials from Yangzhou Jinyiwei Qianhu Station react. Seeing Zhu Chang staring at them with a gloomy and ugly expression, everyone immediately reacted and looked at the people guarding the door one by one.
On Chen's housekeeper and several servants who looked wary.
"Go up, the Jin Yi Guards are in charge of the execution. Anyone who tries to stop them will be killed without mercy."
A Jin Yiwei Baihu with an evil look on his face shouted and rushed forward first.
The steward of the Chen Mansion and the servants obviously did not expect that the accident would happen so quickly. Before they could even react to what was going on, the Jin Yiwei people had already rushed forward.
The steward of the Chen family shouted almost instinctively: "Be brave, this is the Chen family, what do you want to do..."
The steward of the Chen Mansion shouted, and while retreating, he said to several servants: "Stop them, stop them quickly."
Upon hearing this, the servants instinctively stepped forward to stop the Jin Yiwei men, and the two sides immediately collided.
The steward turned around and ran towards the mansion, preparing to report the news to the clan leader, Chen Yuan.
Lin Pingzhi was riding on his horse and saw that the servants were fighting with the Jinyiwei people. Although relying on the strength of their numbers, the Yangzhou Jinyiwei people quickly knocked those servants to the ground.
But Lin Pingzhi looked at Zhu Chang with an indifferent expression and said: "The Chen family is so brave. They even dare to stop the Jin Yiwei office. I wonder what Zhu Qianhu thinks?"
Zhu Chang was sweating on his forehead at this time. He had already learned from Lin Pingzhi that Chen Wenliang, the Chen family's biggest backer, had been sent to prison in Beijing. This time Lin Ping came here to capture the core of the Chen family.
Character, now seeing that the Chen family dared to stop the Jinyiwei people, Zhu Chang couldn't help but sigh in his heart, the Chen family is really going to end.
Not to mention anything else, just the fact that the Chen family dared to obstruct the Jin Yiwei from running the funeral was enough to label the Chen family as a rebel and treasonous person.
Of course, Zhu Chang did not know that forbidden items such as armored stomachs and crossbows were found in Chen Wenliang's mansion in the capital. The Chen family's charges of rebellion were not charged, and they were immediately confirmed.
At this time, Zhu Chang suppressed the fear and uneasiness in his heart and said in a trembling voice: "The official thinks that the Chen family has no laws, so we should take them down with a thunderous force."
Lin Pingzhi glanced at Zhu Chang indifferently and said, "Then I'll give you my best wishes to thousands of households."
Zhu Chang breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, and immediately shouted to all the royal guards: "Do you hear me clearly? After entering, carefully lock up the core members of the Chen family for me, and don't allow any of them to escape."
More than a hundred Jin-clad guards and cavalry responded in unison, and then rushed into the Chen Mansion.
Seeing his men rushing into the Chen Mansion, Zhu Chang breathed a sigh of relief and said to Lin Pingzhi: "Don't worry, Mr. Lin, I will definitely assist you in handling this matter."
Lin Pingzhi didn't say anything, but nodded slightly. When his eyes fell on Mao Qing, Lin Pingzhi said calmly: "Mao Baihu, ask your brothers to seal the surrounding area of Chen Mansion, and no one is allowed to escape.
."
Mao Qing responded immediately after hearing the words, while Zhu Chang on the side was shocked. He was not a fool, so he couldn't see what Lin Pingzhi's move meant.
It was obvious that Lin Pingzhi didn't have much trust in the people under him, so he asked a group of Jinyi guards who had followed him from the capital to guard the outside.
Of course, letting people from the Yangzhou Jinyi Guard Qianhu Station enter the Chen Mansion to pick up people clearly meant that they were going to go into the troubled waters of the Chen Mansion.
After all, everyone knows where the Chen family comes from. They rose to prominence by controlling the salt envoys and smuggling private salt.
During the rise of a family like the Chen family, I don't know how many people they have offended and how many enemies they have made.
If the Chen family did not support a group of desperadoes to protect the family and the courtyard, I am afraid that the Chen family themselves would not be able to sleep well.
Under such circumstances, no one knows how the Chen family will react if Jin Yiwei comes to arrest the Chen family.
It would be great if the people of the Chen family were to be captured obediently, but once the people of the Chen family stubbornly resisted and fought against trapped animals, to be honest, even Zhu Chang could not guarantee that the people he brought with him would be
He is no match for those servants of the Chen family.
By the way, the people from Yangzhou Jinyiwei that Zhu Chang was worried about had already rushed into Chen's mansion.
The Chen family is definitely one of the richest families in Yangzhou. It can be said that these Jin Yiwei have heard about the Chen family's wealth countless times, but to be honest, they have never seen how rich they really are.
But this time when they entered the Chen Mansion, these people saw the withered beams and painted buildings everywhere, the rockery pavilions and pavilions everywhere, and all kinds of exotic flowers and plants, making the entire mansion look like a royal palace.
It looks like a courtyard, and even the columns in some rooms are painted with gold paint, showing off the utmost luxury.
As the Jinyiwei men broke into the Chen Mansion, the Chen Mansion was suddenly in a state of chaos. Some pretty maids ran away screaming, and the Chen Mansion's nursing staff were also alerted and rushed over from all directions.
At the same time, the previous steward of the Chen family stumbled towards the backyard of the Chen family.
The steward from afar shouted: "Master, master, something bad has happened. People from Jinyiwei are here."
Here, Chen Yuan, Chen Long and others had just made up their minds, and before they dispersed, they saw the steward running over.
However, when he heard what the other party shouted, Chen Yuan's expression changed. His originally upright body even trembled for a moment. He stared at the steward and shouted in a deep voice: "What did you say?"
At this time, Chen Yuan's face was cold and cold. Being stared at by Chen Yuan, the steward couldn't help but shuddered and said in a trembling voice: "Go back to the master, Jin Yiwei, it's the people from Jin Yiwei who came to the door. I can't stop them...
…”
As he said that, the steward said hurriedly: "Master, hurry up. Judging from the posture of the Jin Yiwei, it seems that they are coming for you, master."
Chen Long on the side opened his eyes wide and said angrily: "How dare you to break into our house. Do you really think that our Chen family is easy to bully?"
A clan elder fell to the ground in panic, and said with a pale face: "What should we do? What should we do?"
"All the Jin Yiwei came to visit in person. It's a disaster. This time it's really a big disaster."
For a moment, all the clan leaders were frightened and fell into a state of confusion.
Chen Long ignored the clan elders and said to Chen Yuan: "Father, it seems that Li Huan has made up his mind to destroy our Chen family."
Chen Yuan had regained his composure at this time. He nodded and squinted his eyes when he heard the words, and said with a cold gaze: "I know that I shouldn't have hope for Li Huan. Looking at Li Huan's actions, whenever I am targeted by him
Of all the officials, none of them would end up having their families confiscated and exterminated. This time my uncle impeached Li Huan for treason, and he obviously offended the other party to death. It would be strange if he could let our Chen family go."
Chen Long gritted his teeth and said: "It's just that the family has been destroyed. Since Li Huan won't let us live easy, then our Chen family is not that easy to bully. Dogs bite people when they are anxious..."
While speaking, Chen Long said to Chen Yuan: "Father, I will lead people to block the Jin Yiwei people. Father will immediately lead people to escape from the secret passage."
Chen Yuan looked at Chen Long, nodded slightly, and said without hesitation: "My son must not be reluctant to fight. I will leave the green mountains without worrying about having firewood. I will wait for you at the old place."
A rapid whistle sounded, and immediately from a side courtyard of the Chen Mansion, burly men with burly bodies and filled with evil aura rushed out.
"Master!"
When all the men saw Chen Long, they all saluted him respectfully.
Chen Long looked at the fifty nurses raised by the Chen family in front of him, and a flash of madness flashed in his eyes. These people were not so much nurses as they were dead soldiers whom the Chen family had spent a lot of money to raise.
.
The Chen family was able to remain unharmed despite provoking so many enemies. Not only was it protected by Chen Wenliang, but more importantly, the Chen family controlled a strong force.
The core of this powerful force is the dead soldiers trained by the Chen family.
Chen Long did not explain, but shouted in a deep voice: "Everyone wear armor and weapons, and follow me to stop the invading enemy."
When these burly men heard this, their expressions remained unchanged. They quickly pierced the hidden armor and stomach on their bodies, and each of them held strong crossbows, long knives and other sharp weapons. They were almost armed to the teeth. There were dozens of dead soldiers wearing armor.
Standing there, an evil aura hit my face.
Nearly a hundred Yangzhou Jinyi Tiqi rushed into the mansion, which opened their eyes to the public. At the same time, one by one they started to rob the house under the pretext of searching for the core figures of the Chen family.
Some people were even aroused by the beautiful maids in Chen's residence, and even dragged some maids into the room to do evil things.
Suddenly, most of the Chen Mansion fell into chaos.
When Chen Long appeared in the front hall with dozens of armored and armed soldiers, what he saw was a group of royal guards bullying the maids of the mansion and looting the wealth of the mansion.
A Jinyiwei Baihu with his arms full of gold and silver saw Chen Long and others who were full of evil spirits at a glance. When he saw Chen Long and others wearing armor and holding sharp weapons, his expression changed greatly and he almost exclaimed.
: "Chen Long, what do you want to do? Are you going to rebel?"
Unfortunately, before he could finish speaking, Chen Long spat out a word.
"kill!"
Chen Long jumped forward without hesitation, drew out the long knife in his hand, and killed a Jin Yiwei Baihu on the spot in an instant.
Killed a Jin Yiwei Baihu together. The dead soldiers who followed Chen Long did not hesitate even when they killed the Jin Yiwei. They were indeed the dead soldiers trained by the Chen family at a great cost.
Even things like killing officials and rebelling were done without any hesitation.
Finally, after killing and wounding more than a dozen of their companions, the Yangzhou Jinyi Guards who were wreaking havoc in the Chen Mansion came to their senses. Especially when they saw Chen Long leading dozens of people to chase them down like a ferocious spirit, many of the Jinyi Guards were frightened.
You have to turn around and run.
Hou Yu, a member of the Jinyiwei Baihu, looked at Chen Long who was rushing over and said in shock and anger: "I've rebelled against you. I've really rebelled against you."
Chen Long slashed his sword and snorted coldly: "Even if our Chen family rebels, we are still forced to do so."
The sound of gold and iron clashing spread. Hou Yu blocked Chen Long's blow and stepped back a few steps. He looked at Chen Long with a pale face and said: "You can't escape. If you are captured without mercy, there may be a glimmer of hope..."
Chen Long laughed loudly when he heard this, and shouted at Hou Yu: "Hou Yu, you and I are not fools, why do you say such deceitful words? If you want to arrest people from my Chen family, then you should first ask me whether the Chen family agrees.
."
While speaking, Chen Long shouted at the dead soldiers: "Kill, kill them all."
Some Jin Yiwei were frightened and ran away for their lives, while others, under Hou Yu's scolding, mustered up the courage to fight with the dead soldiers raised by the Chen family.
However, it is obvious that the dead soldiers raised by the Chen family are more fierce. Even if the Jin Yiwei has a certain numerical advantage, the Jin Yiwei of Yangzhou Qianhu Institute have been in peace for many years. Many of them are just showboats, and they may not have killed chickens.
Not to mention asking them to kill people with all their might.
Hundreds of Jin Yiwei were killed by Chen Long and dozens of dead soldiers. In the blink of an eye, dozens of them fell.
Outside the gate of the mansion, Zhu Chang was carefully accompanying Lin Pingzhi, waiting for the outcome of the Jin Yiwei's arrest. Suddenly, he heard screams and screams of death coming from Chen's mansion.
Hearing this movement, Zhu Chang's expression couldn't help but change, his heart thumped, and he had a vague feeling of something bad.
Just hearing that movement was not caused by the resistance of an individual person. Even Lin Pingzhi could tell that something was wrong. Lin Pingzhi, who looked solemn, subconsciously tightened the Xiuchun knife at his waist.
At the same time, Lin Pingzhi said to a guard in golden robes beside him: "Send someone to see what happened."
However, before the Imperial Guardsman entered the Chen Mansion, several figures were seen escaping from the Chen Mansion in a hurry, as if there was some terrifying entity chasing them behind them.
"They killed officials. The Chen family killed officials and rebelled..."
The few imperial guards who escaped shouted that the Chen family had rebelled, and they all looked frightened and embarrassed.
Zhu Chang was startled. He took a step forward, stretched out his hand and slapped a knight in royal robes until he vomited blood and shouted, "Tell me what's going on?"
The Jinyi Guard Tiqi was woken up by a slap. When he saw Zhu Chang with a fierce look on his face, he was as surprised as if he had grasped a life-saving straw and said: "Sir, the Chen family has many servants. They wear armor and stomach, and carry
Armed with powerful crossbows, swords and spears, brothers...the brothers are no match and will soon be killed."
"What?"
Zhu Chang couldn't help but exclaimed, his face full of disbelief.
The words of this Jin Yiwei Tiqi were really shocking. If they were not nonsense, then this problem would be serious.
The Chen family actually secretly hid taboo items such as armored stomachs and strong crossbows, and even dared to openly arm their servants to attack and kill the Jin Yiwei. This was already an act of rebellion by Chi Guoguo.
Killing Jin Yiwei is equivalent to killing an official and rebelling. The Chen family can do such crazy things. For some reason, after Zhu Chang experienced the initial shock, he didn't feel that the Chen family had done such a thing.
There's nothing strange about it.
Taking a deep breath, Zhu Chang pushed away the royal guard and said to Lin Pingzhi with a serious look on his face: "Sir, the Chen family has a powerful crossbow in its possession and intends to rebel. Those brothers who entered the house only
I’m afraid it’s more likely to be more serious than bad…”
Zhu Chang said with a worried look on his face. No matter what the outcome was, the Chen family's secret possession of armor and stomach and the use of crossbows were exposed. He, the Qianhu official who supervises the local area for the emperor, might not be able to escape the crime of neglect.
