Three hundred and sixty seventh chapter imperial envoy is nothing more than that
You must know that the powerful people in these places have often been rooted in the same place for tens or hundreds of years, and their relationships can be said to be intricate. It may be fine if you offend an official, but if you offend a local snake in these places, then it will not.
That’s easy to say.
Now that Li Huan asked him to sort out the powerful locals who should confiscate their homes and exterminate their clans, it would be strange if Lin Cong didn't feel frightened. He finally hugged Li Huan's lap, but he didn't expect that Li Huan would directly kill such a hot person.
Throw the potato to him.
If possible, Lin Cong really didn't want to take on this matter. In fact, he had been in the government office for so many years and had seen too many dark things.
Although many officials in the government do not engage in human affairs, they still have some scruples, but for the local powerful, they do not have so many scruples.
Murder, arson, bullying of men and women are simply the norm. It can be said that if powerful families in many places have not done such things, then they are extremely rare.
Li Huan looked down at Lin Cong with a changeable expression. In fact, Li Huan could more or less guess what Lin Cong was thinking. However, Li Huan didn't say anything. Lin Cong may be a talented person, but whether he can be used, then
It also depends on Lin Cong's own performance.
Ma Ming on the side was also looking at Lin Cong. It seemed that he saw Lin Cong's hesitant look, and there was a bit of disdain in Ma Ming's eyes.
In Ma Ming's view, Lin Cong just has no discernment. No wonder he has only been a scribe for so many years. If he was smart enough, based on his qualifications alone, he would probably be a bit stronger than he is now.
However, Lin Cong is still somewhat smart, otherwise he would not have been able to stay in the government office for so many years and still be able to maintain his bottom line without being squeezed out.
After hesitating for a moment, Lin Cong bowed to Li Huan and said, "Don't worry, Lord Marquis, I will draw up a list for Lord Marquis in the shortest possible time."
Li Huan nodded slightly.
On the long street, groups of people and horses passed by in a hurry, which only made many people look at them.
These people were divided into teams, and each team had members of the Imperial Guard. They looked murderous and in a hurry.
Many people were very curious about the hurried movements of this group of people, and secretly speculated whether something happened in the city. However, a major case soon emerged regarding this doubt and curiosity.
As government offices everywhere were violently knocked open by these people, the news that Jin Yiwei led people to raid homes spread throughout the city as if they had wings.
The mansion where dozens of named officials headed by Xu Lin lived was directly surrounded by the Jinyiwei people.
The relatives of these officials were directly captured, and then their mansions were confiscated. It can be said that most of Yangzhou City fell into silence. It is true that Li Huan's actions were so fast and so decisive that everyone exceeded their expectations.
I originally thought that even if Li Huan wanted to investigate the case and captured Xu Lin and others, it would still take some time to search the house. Who would have thought that Li Huan would start ransacking the house and arresting people on the first day he entered the city.
Not only the people in the city were dumbfounded, but also many forces in the city were shocked.
Just like Du Zhong, Sun Mi and others who were discussing raising a sum of gold and silver not long ago to smoothen their relationship, hoping to get through Li Huan's relationship and get Li Huan to show his favor and let them go.
At this time, Du Zhong, Sun Mi and others had just raised less than half of the gold and silver. When they learned that Jin Yiwei had already started ransacking homes and taking people away, Du Zhong and others couldn't help but become a little worried.
Under this pressure, the speed at which several companies raised gold and silver suddenly increased a lot. In order to raise enough gold and silver, even the silver winter melons at the bottom of the box were taken out.
In just half a day, nearly two million gold and silver were raised by Du Zhong and others.
Huge boxes were loaded on the carriages, and there were dozens of them. The carriages were pressed and made a creaking sound. Du Zhong and Sun Mi, who had a look of fear on their faces, were a few people away.
Looking at the gate of the government office from a distance.
They can be regarded as regular visitors to the government office, and they enter the government office more than once to meet with Xu Lin and other officials.
For them, entering the government office is actually quite a habit, and there is no discomfort or worry.
But this time when they looked at the gate of the government office, several people were a little hesitant and uneasy, as if the gate of the government office was some kind of dangerous place. The guard in Jinyi, dressed in a flying fish suit, stood like a javelin holding the embroidered spring knife on his waist.
A high degree of vigilance is always maintained at the entrance of the government office.
Sun Mi, Eucommia ulmoides and their group of carriages approached the government office like a dragon. Naturally, they were immediately noticed by the Jinyi guards guarding the entrance of the government office. Several Jinyi guards immediately raised their vigilance and stared at Sun Mi and the others carefully.
People, especially when they noticed that these people were obviously rushing to the government office, a guard in Jinyi immediately stepped forward and stopped Sun Mi, Du Zhong and his party.
Sun Mi, Du Zhong and others, who were still a little nervous at first and didn't know how to approach Li Huan, subconsciously stopped when they saw Jin Yiwei approaching.
The little flag officer of the Jinyiwei frowned and glanced at the group of carriages behind them, snorted coldly: "Who are you, and what do you want to do when approaching the government office?"
I don’t know what these carriages are carrying. If they are dangerous items such as gunpowder, they are naturally not allowed to approach the government office. Sun Mi and Du Zhong glanced at each other, and then Du Zhong stepped forward and rushed towards them.
The little flag officer of Jinyiwei bowed and said: "This official, I am Eucommia ulmoides from Yangzhou Prefecture. I heard about the name of the Imperial Envoy, so I came here specifically to visit. I have a generous gift for the Imperial Envoy."
After looking at Eucommia ulmoides, Sun Mi and others lightly, the little flag official showed a look of scrutiny and hesitation on his face.
Seemingly noticing the change in Xiao Qi Guan's expression, Eucommia ulmoides quickly took out a silver ingot from his sleeve and handed it to Xiao Qi Guan and said: "Guan Ye, please help me spread the word. If the Imperial Envoy is willing to see me, I will give you a generous gift."
.”
Looking at the heavy silver ingot in his hand, Xiaoqi Guan smiled a little, took the invitation from Eucommia ulmoides, glanced at a few people and said, "Waiting here."
As he spoke, the flag officer turned around and walked towards the government office, apparently to help with the communication.
When Xiaoqi Guan took the silver ingot and passed it on to them, Eucommia ulmoides, Sun Mi and others could not help but have a look of surprise in their eyes.
Sun Mi whispered to Eucommia and the others: "It seems that we are expected to see the imperial envoy this time. I wonder if the imperial envoy will be so generous as to let me wait for a while after seeing the generous gifts we have brought."
In their opinion, if Li Huan's Jin Yiwei dared to accept their delicacies so calmly, then Li Huan must be average.
Moreover, in their subconscious mind, all officials in the world are average. Xu Lin and other officials are also greedy for money and lust, and even Li Huan should be average. Otherwise, they would not have come up with such a method of bribing Li Huan.
Dozens of carriages from Sun Mi, Du Zhong and others rushed towards the government office like a long dragon. Naturally, they attracted the attention of many people in the city along the way.
The people in the city are naturally familiar with the powerful families in the city such as Sun Mi and Eucommia ulmoides.
If you want to live well in Yangzhou City, you must keep certain people and forces in mind. Otherwise, if you accidentally offend these people, you will probably die.
Naturally, people like Sun Mi and Du Zhong were well known to the people in the city, so when they saw Sun Mi, Du Zhong and others, many people recognized them at once.
"Hey, isn't this Sun Mi, Du Zhong and the others? There are so many carriages and big boxes one after another. They don't contain gold and silver." Someone looked at the heavy box that weighed down the carriage and subconsciously guessed.
"Everyone said that if these boxes are all gold and silver, what do they want to do now?"
Someone sneered: "What else can I do? Of course I want to bribe the imperial envoy. I didn't see that the imperial envoy didn't even see the city, so he directly captured the prefect and others. You said Sun Mi, Eucommia and the others are not afraid." Fear."
"With so many boxes, if they all contain gold and silver, I'm afraid it would be no less than a million taels. Faced with so many gold and silver things, I'm afraid no official in the world can be unmoved. If the imperial envoy doesn't see money, It would be weird to open it."
"Hundreds
Who can bear with ten thousand taels of gold and silver?"
"Hey, I thought that the imperial envoy's arrival this time would be able to wipe out the flies and dogs in Yangzhou Prefecture. But now it seems that the world is as dark as crows, and even the imperial envoy is also greedy for money."
While the people around were talking in low voices in private, the small flag official walked out of the yamen and walked to Sun Mi, Du Zhong and others. Sun Mi, Du Zhong and others looked at the small flag official with expectant faces. : "This official, I don't know the imperial envoy..."
The flag official glanced at a few people lightly and said, "Please follow me to meet the Marquis."
Immediately, Sun Mi, Eucommia and others were overjoyed when they heard this. They were not afraid that Li Huan was greedy for money, but they were afraid that Li Huan would not even see them. If Li Huan did not even see them, then they would panic.
Since Li Huan is willing to see them now, it means that they have a chance. Suppressing their inner joy, several people quickly followed the little flag officer into the government office.
Everything in the government office was still so familiar, but the owner had changed. With a bit of fear and expectation, Sun Mi, Eucommia ulmoides and others finally arrived in front of the hall. Several people in the distance saw the guard. Those murderous soldiers at the entrance of the hall.
These soldiers were brave and skilled warriors who followed Li Huan in battles and fought for the rest of their lives. They were left in the government office to protect Li Huan's safety. Although Li Huan did not need his own force, he still had to have some bodyguards. Must have.
As a personal guard, Li Hu is now a top-notch player, and his strength has improved so fast that it is beyond imagination. However, if you know the training conditions of Li Hu and others, I am afraid not many people will be surprised. .
Li Hu's evil spirit that seemed to be real was intimidating, especially when Li Huan's eyes were fixed on Eucommia ulmoides and Sun Mi. They felt as if they were being targeted by an evil tiger.
The flag officer bowed respectfully to Li Hu and said, "Master Li, please bring the person whom the Marquis wants to see."
Li Hu nodded slightly towards the little flag officer, and then said to Sun Mi, Eucommia ulmoides and the others: "Follow me."
Under Li Hu's guidance, the few people just walked to the hall and heard Li Hu say in a deep voice: "Master Hou, Sun Mi, Du Zhong and others are here."
In the hall, Li Huan was sitting there, and in front of him stood a figure. This person had a nervous look on his face. Who could he be if he wasn't Lin Cong?
Li Huan looked at Lin Cong, tapped the table gently with one hand, and said thoughtfully: "According to what you said, Eucommia ulmoides and Sun Mi are not good people!"
Lin Cong hurriedly bowed and said: "I dare not deceive the Marquis. This family can be said to have done many evil things. The number of people they harmed ranged from hundreds to dozens. It would not be an exaggeration to even confiscate their homes and exterminate their clans."
Li Huan nodded slightly, and just then Li Hu's voice came from outside the hall. "Let them come in."
Li Huan's voice was heard outside the hall, and Li Hu immediately turned to Sun Mi, who could hear clearly, and Eucommia ulmoides and others said: "Go in." They looked at each other and slowly walked into the hall.
They were equally familiar with this hall. They had met Xu Lin here more than once in the past, but this time the owner had changed. Several of them had never seen Li Huan before, and even though they were at the city gate before, they were just far away.
I watched from a distance and followed the development of the gaffe, but I didn't actually see Li Huan.
So this was really the first time they saw Li Huan. Because of this, when they saw Li Huan again, several people couldn't help but sigh.
Although I have always heard that Li Huan was very young and achieved success at a young age, when I actually saw Li Huan's young appearance, I still couldn't help feeling filled with emotion.
However, although the few people felt sad in their hearts, they did not dare to be rude. They bowed directly to Li Huan and shouted, "Sun Mi, Eucommia and others from the Yangzhou Prefecture are paying homage to the Imperial Envoy."
Li Huan looked at the people who had prostrated themselves in front of him, with a slight smile on his lips and said slowly: "I heard that you have a big gift to give to me?" "Thieves, they are indeed greedy and lustful people!"
Seeing that Li Huan would not let them get up, and only cared about their generous gifts, Eucommia ulmoides and Sun Mi were filled with curses.
Of course, no matter how much slander he felt in his heart, he didn't dare to show it.
On the contrary, he said more and more respectfully: "Going back to the Lord Marquis, I have always admired you, and I specially offer you 1,800,000 taels of gold and silver as a token of your appreciation."
The smile on Li Huan's face became a little brighter, and he seemed to be very satisfied. He nodded slightly and said: "Not bad, not bad, you are really interested."
Seeing the smile on Li Huan's face, several people felt a little relieved, and said with a little flattery on their faces: "This is just a little bit of the villain's wishes, as long as the Marquis likes it, it will be fine"
good."
As he spoke, Eucommia rolled his eyes, and he lay on the ground and said respectfully: "If the Marquis does not dislike it, we will be willing to offer one hundred thousand gold and silver to the Marquis every year from now on..."
