When a clan elder heard this, his expression suddenly changed, and he said in a trembling voice with a bit of surprise: "Clan leader, what are you..."
Chen Yuan laughed loudly and said, "I said, no matter who wants to deal with our Chen family, they will have to pay the price."
The clan elder looked at Chen Yuan's gnashing of teeth and pondered for a moment before saying, "If things get too big, the world is so big that there really won't be any place for our Chen family to stay."
Chen Yuan just glanced at several clan elders and sneered: "You don't think that Li Huan will let our Chen family go, right? From the moment Li Huan decided to attack our Chen family, it was already destined that our Chen family would not be able to escape.
After a catastrophe, let’s see what happens to those people targeted by Li Huan.”
Hearing what Chen Yuan said, even if some people were lucky, they couldn't help but remain silent at this moment. It was because Li Huan's reputation was so evil.
Even the Xie Qian clan, who was the elder of the Pavilion in the past, was targeted by Li Huan, and ended up dead and annihilated. As for the Chen family, although Chen Wenliang, who was the censor of Zuodu, was mentioned, but
In comparison, he is still inferior to Xie Qian, who is the elder of the pavilion.
The Xie family all ended up being confiscated and exterminated, and the Chen family would not be any better than the Xie family.
As for what reason Li Huan wants to deal with the Chen family, even they themselves know it. As long as Li Huan wants to deal with them, there is no need to label the Chen family. Just based on what the Chen family has done over the years.
The shameful things were enough to make everyone in the Chen family die several times.
Chen Yuan waved his hands to several clan elders and said, "Hurry up, otherwise, the Chen family will really be destroyed."
Watching several clan elders leaving with a few core family members in a hurry, there were only a dozen figures left in the remote courtyard.
These people are all dead men raised by the Chen family. They are very loyal to the Chen family. One of them stepped forward and said to Chen Yuan: "Clan leader, where is the young master..."
Chen Yuan cast his eyes towards the Chen family's mansion where the shouts of killing could still be heard in the distance. Needless to say, his son was leading people to fight with the Jinyiwei people at the moment. Otherwise, they might not be able to leave the mansion calmly.
Chen Yuan squinted his eyes and said coldly: "Don't worry, wait until our people arrive."
The Chen family is indeed a wealthy family that has been entrenched in Yangzhou for decades. Even if the Chen family only rose to prominence for a few decades, it has taken root over the past few decades and its heritage is really not bad.
Especially when the Chen family is involved in the private salt business, the most indispensable subordinates are desperadoes who dare to fight and kill.
Without a powerful escort team, the Chen family would not have been able to get involved in the smuggling and selling of private salt, even with official connections.
The most indispensable thing in this world is people who work hard for money, especially a family like the Chen family that runs a private salt smuggling industry. The desperadoes they breed are by no means comparable to ordinary families.
When Li Huan went to Fujian to investigate, the local wealthy families were able to easily recruit thousands of servants and servants to attack the imperial envoys.
You must know that many of those wealthy families are from maritime business backgrounds, so it is expected that they can raise a group of desperadoes to survive at sea.
If the people on the southeastern coast can pull up an armed force, they must be the maritime merchants. Then if we look at the inland of the Ming Dynasty, with such ability and strength, the salt merchants can definitely be regarded as a group.
Just as maritime merchants had to fight with their lives for profit from pirates at sea, salt merchants also faced great dangers and had to fight with their lives to keep their salt profits.
As the largest salt merchant family in Yangzhou, the Chen family has controlled dozens of dead soldiers over the years.
That is, Lin Pingzhi, Chen Yao and their group arrived suddenly, and the news of Chen Wenliang's imprisonment had not yet spread. Even the Chen family had just received the news not long ago, and the Chen family did not have time to make too many precautions.
Otherwise, when the Jin Yiwei rushed into the Chen family to take away people, Lin Pingzhi and the others would have faced more than just dozens of dead soldiers led by Chen Long.
However, Chen Yuan, the helmsman of the Chen family, was not without some precautions. When Chen Yuan received the news of the warning from the capital, Chen Yuan instinctively took precautions.
Many people in the Chen family did not know that Chen Yuan quietly recalled a bodyguard specializing in smuggling salt back to Yangzhou City and placed them in a villa of the Chen family.
Of course, this does not mean that Chen Yuan foresaw in advance that the capital would send people to arrest members of the Chen family, but that his instinct for doing things made him subconsciously make such arrangements.
Now Chen Yuan is very proud of his subconscious actions. If he hadn't transferred a bodyguard back in advance, no matter how angry he was and how much he wanted to cause trouble, if his men had no one to use,
As a human being, I am afraid that I can only be hunted down by the royal guards like a lost dog.
If the Chen family hadn't raised those dead soldiers, and if Chen Long hadn't led those dead soldiers to block the Jin Yiwei's men, perhaps the core members of the Chen family would have been beaten by the Jin Yiwei at this moment.
With these thoughts flashing through his mind, Chen Yuan, with the help of his men, wore an obviously carefully crafted armor and stomach on his body.
Chen Yuan, who is in his forties, is tall and tall, and his cultivation is not weak. Now that he is wearing armor, he really adds a bit of killing and bravery.
His big hand gently stroked a spear in his hand, and Chen Yuan said in a serious tone: "Chen has not killed anyone for more than ten years, but today he is going on a killing spree again."
One of Chen Yuan's confidants looked at Chen Yuan who was wearing armor and holding a spear, with some memories and excitement flashing in his eyes: "The clan leader is still as powerful as before, and the old slave suddenly remembered that he and the master massacred all the unruly people in Xiaoli Village in one night.
The salt household who knows how to promote, the happy past of burning the Blackwater Gang."

Hearing his confidants mention his glorious past, Chen Yuan's face glowed with a strange light. He glanced at the dozen or so confidants around him and said in a deep voice: "Today, the Jin Yiwei came to arrest someone. Our Chen family is in great danger. Do you dare?"
Will you follow me to kill all those imperial eagle dogs?"
Suddenly all the confidants said in unison: "I am willing to die for the clan leader!"
These people have no ambivalence towards Chen Yuan. First, they and the Chen family have both prospered and suffered losses. If the Chen family is defeated, they will not end well.
More importantly, the safety of their family and relatives is in the hands of the Chen family. Even if the Jin Yiwei is trying to capture the Chen family, with so many people in the Chen family, it is not possible to capture them all in a short time.
If any of them dare to betray the enemy, they are afraid that all their personal papers will be slaughtered by the Chen family immediately. As for whether those in the Chen family can do such a thing, as Chen
Yuan's confidant, the Chen family has caused countless tragedies over the years, and the Chen family has never hesitated.
While drinking tea, they heard the sound of rapid footsteps. Everyone looked around and saw a group of murderous men and horses, numbering nearly a hundred people, filing in.
The confidant who had taken the order earlier said to Chen Yuan: "Master, I have been brought here."
Chen Yuan's eyes fell on the hundreds of fierce guards. These people were all desperadoes who had seen blood and killed people. They were all fed by the Chen family with gold, silver and beauty. Even if they let these people
If you go to attack the government, these people may not even frown.
So Chen Yuan just looked at the crowd and said in a deep voice: "Everyone, follow me to kill people!"
After saying that, Chen Yuan turned around and left, while everyone in the crowd had a fierce look on their faces, and even a faint look of excitement flashed across their faces, and followed Chen Yuan without hesitation.
At the same time in the Chen Mansion, Lin Ping slashed his sword and cut off one of Chen Long's arms. As Chen Long was injured, several Jinyi guards immediately rushed forward and tied Chen Long up.
Zhu Chang, who had one arm drooped and was covered in blood, looked at the miserable few men beside him, and then looked at the huge courtyard where corpses were lying on top of each other. A gust of wind blew by, and the smell of blood hit his face. Zhu Chang couldn't help but
I was afraid for a while.
However, after taking a look at Chen Long who was captured, Zhu Chang quickly said to Lin Pingzhi: "Is your Excellency okay?"
Lin Pingzhi glanced at Zhu Chang and said, "Zhu Qianhu worked hard, how is his injury?"
Zhu Chang looked at his injured arm, tried his best to smile and said, "It's just a little injury, nothing serious!"
At this moment, Mao Qing, who was covered in blood, hurriedly came from the backyard with several royal guards. With a dignified look on his face, he shook his head towards Lin Pingzhi and said: "Sir, a secret passage was found in the backyard. I am afraid that the Chen family has already
Escaped through a secret passage."
Lin Pingzhi frowned. This was the first time he had presided over such a big event. He had already made complete preparations. He even expected that the Chen family might resist. In order to prevent a shortage of people, Lin Pingzhi
Pingzhi even used Li Huan's power to force Zhu Chang, the Yangzhou Jinyiwei Qianhu, to mobilize local Jinyiwei to assist.
However, Lin Pingzhi never thought that in addition to those fierce and fearless slaves, there would be dozens of dead soldiers in the Chen Family Mansion.
It was these dozens of armored dead soldiers who stopped them abruptly. In contrast, the Jin Yiwei could only rely on their numerical superiority to fight.
Mao Qing whispered: "Sir, the Chen family will definitely not be able to escape far. Should we go to the magistrate's office to see the Yangzhou magistrate and ask him to cooperate in sealing the city gate and send troops to search the whole city to capture the Chen family?"
Due to excessive blood loss, the pale Chen Long suddenly burst into laughter and said: "Thieves, just because you want to arrest members of my Chen family is simply delusional. There is no one in this Yangzhou Yamen."
The benefits of getting over our Chen family..."
When Zhu Chang heard this, his expression changed involuntarily, and he looked at Chen Long with a look that made him want to strangle Chen Long to death.
The Chen family is finished, but don't involve other people.
But looking at Chen Long's attitude, it's basically a broken pot. The Chen family is not having a good time, and they don't want others to have a good time.
Noticing the change in Zhu Chang's expression, Lin Pingzhi suddenly showed a smile on his lips, glanced at Chen Long indifferently and said to Zhu Chang: "Zhu Qianhu, order someone to take Chen Long with you, and we will go to the prefect's Yamen together.
"
Chen Long couldn't help but froze for a moment when he heard this, and looked at Lin Pingzhi in astonishment. He seemed a little confused. He said that the official circles of Yangzhou Prefecture were closely related to the Chen family, so why did Lin Pingzhi take him there?
Magistrate's Yamen.
Zhu Chang came to his senses, nodded quickly and said, "I will take you to the prefect's Yamen right now."
Soon, dozens of Jin Yiwei exited the Chen Mansion like a tide. However, compared to when they came, not only were the number of Jin Yiwei less than half, but many of them were also covered in blood and scars.
Naturally, such a big commotion in the Chen Mansion cannot be concealed, especially since the Jinyi Guards surrounded the Chen Mansion earlier, which had already alarmed many people.
It can be said that every influential family or force in Yangzhou City is paying attention to the Chen family's actions.
I don't know how many people are secretly guessing what happened. Why did the Jin Yiwei surround the Chen family?
The influence of the Chen family in Yangzhou City is unparalleled. As a result, the Chen family, which can be called the number one family in Yangzhou, was targeted by Jin Yiwei.
What happened in the capital has not yet spread, and the distance from the capital to the south of the Yangtze River is thousands of miles away. Even if there is a Grand Canal, the news cannot spread so fast.
Because of this, except for a few people, no one really knows why the Jin Yiwei surrounded the Chen family.
I thought it might be a farce. After all, the Chen family can be considered to have great hands and eyes. With the Zuodu censor here, there is nothing to fear from the Chen family.
But when the Jin Yiwei forced their way into the Chen Mansion, many people were shocked. However, the real shock was the killing cry that immediately came from the Chen Mansion.
If many people were watching the excitement of the Chen family before, but when the shouts of killing came from the Chen family, some astute people almost collapsed to the ground in fright.
It seemed that they were frightened by the madness of the Chen family. The people who originally sent people to keep an eye on the movements in the Chen family quickly withdrew them as if they were avoiding snakes and scorpions. Their reaction seemed to be that they were afraid that they would be implicated by the Chen family if they had any connections.
.
Of course, there were also some people who did not withdraw their attention and just kept staring at the Chen family.
Prefect's Yamen
Yangzhou Prefecture is a major palace in the south of the Yangtze River, and Yangzhou City is an important city. Naturally, those who can sit as the magistrate of Yangzhou are not ordinary people.
At this moment, Xu Lin, who is the prefect of Yangzhou, is sitting in the hall with several officials, all of them looking solemn, and the atmosphere is extremely depressed.
Suddenly, there was a sound of rapid footsteps, and a guard walked into the hall and said to Xu Lin and others: "My lords, Lin Qianhu from the capital led people into the Chen Mansion..."
After the officer finished speaking, an official couldn't help but shake his hand, dropped the tea cup to the ground and said with a trembling voice: "This... how is this possible? Our Chen family has always been law-abiding..."
Obviously this person is a member of the Chen family. With Chen Wenliang, an important official in the imperial court, it is not difficult to place his family members in the Yamen of Yangzhou Prefecture.
The other people looked at Chen Rui with a strange look. Everyone in Yangzhou City knew about the virtues of the Chen family. Fortunately, Chen Rui could say that the Chen family was law-abiding.
With a slight cough, Xu Lin did not look at Chen Rui's reaction. Instead, he frowned, looked at the guard and said, "How is the Chen family?"
The officer's expression changed slightly, he swallowed his saliva and said in a trembling voice: "Returning to your lord, the two sides seemed to be fighting. The young man secretly looked for a high place to watch, and saw that there were many people in the Chen Mansion who were wearing armor and armed with military uniforms.
Fighting hard, many of the people brought by Qianhu died..."
"What!"
With a crash, the water glass fell to the ground and broke into pieces. Several officials stood up in shock, with looks of horror on their faces.
