Chaoyin Garden is a private villa, which can be said to be a large villa that everyone knows and knows about in Fuzhou Prefecture.
The reason why this villa is famous is because of its level of luxury that makes people gasp in admiration when they see it.
The courtyard covers an area of dozens of acres, and is completely modeled after the Jiangnan water town garden design, with pavilions, pavilions, exotic flowers and plants, and even running water that runs through the entire courtyard water system. Being in it is like returning to the Jiangnan gardens.
Average.
It's just that for such a luxurious garden, not many people know who its owner is.
But just by looking at all the dignitaries coming in and out, you know that the identity of the owner behind this garden is probably extraordinary.
It can be said that such a top-notch garden may not be able to maintain it without sufficient status.
And at this moment, in this garden, there is a person about forty years old, with a good appearance and a refined air. He is currently wearing a brocade suit, walking with his hands behind his back, walking leisurely among the pavilions.
Behind this elegant man is a big man. The man's body is strong and muscular, and there is a faint evil aura about him.
Such a big man can definitely be called a fierce man, but behind the elegant man in brocade clothes, he is like an obedient dog.
If anyone in the Fujian officialdom sees this person, they will definitely be shocked, because this person is none other than Cai Wen, the criminal prosecutor who is in charge of judicial power in Fujian Province.
Cai Wen paused and stopped in a pavilion. He stretched out his sleeves and sat down in the pavilion. The big man stood at the entrance of the pavilion very humbly.
Cai Wen glanced at the big man lightly, and suddenly snorted: "What a waste. If you can't do such a small thing well, what's the use of raising you, sir?"
With a pop, the big man's expression changed drastically. He knelt down on the ground and kowtowed, saying, "Sir, please forgive me. Even if I dig three feet into the ground, I will definitely find Cheng Yi."
Cai Wen looked at the man kneeling in front of him, kowtowing repeatedly, with blood oozing out from his forehead. He kicked the man violently and snorted: "Master, I am not raising you so that you can eat dry food."
Yes, remember it, no matter what method you use, you must find Cheng Yi, especially the clues he carries about me that the Jin Yiwei has collected over the years."
Cai Wen said with a sneer: "After this matter is settled, I will benefit from you, otherwise..."
After glancing at the man kneeling on the ground, Cai Wen waved his hand and said, "You useless thing, get out of here quickly. If Cheng Yi leaves, it will ruin my important business, sir, and I will be careful about the lives of your whole family."
Thinking of Cai Wen's methods, the man couldn't help but shuddered and said: "Don't worry, sir, we can't catch Cheng Yi. I'll raise my head to see you!"
After the man left, Cai Wen's anger subsided a bit, and now a figure walked over from the corner, and it turned out to be a scribe in blue.
The scholar in green shirt looked at Cai Wen and smiled slightly and said: "Why are you so angry, sir? Han Ling is dead. Now he is just a little Jinyiwei Baihu who escaped. With my brother's influence in Fujian, I found this person."
Isn’t it a piece of cake?”
Cai Wen glanced at the green-shirted scribe and sighed softly: "Brother Xian, it's not like I don't know that this is a critical moment for me. If I can be transferred to the capital this time and have teachers to support me, I will be able to do it within three to five years at most."
, as a brother, I am sure to take the seat of the Ministry of Education."
As he spoke, a trace of anger flashed in Cai Wen's eyes and he said: "Who would have thought that a nobody who didn't take it seriously at the beginning would have won the emperor's favor and joined the Imperial Guard, and even dared to send someone to investigate him."
The scholar in blue shirt is Sun Wei, Cai Wen's confidant. He has been with Cai Wen for more than ten years and has been helping Cai Wen plan. Cai Wen can be where he is today. This scholar in green shirt has made great contributions.
Sun Wei couldn't help but sigh when he thought of Li Huan: "Who could have expected that Li Huan would be so good at it, but fortunately we had already bribed many officials and school captains in the Jinyiwei Yamen, otherwise the people from the capital would really have obtained the Jinyiwei and these things.
I am afraid that the evidence collected over the years and your efforts for so many years will all be in vain."
With a slap on the table, Cai Wen said with murderous intent in his eyes: "It's only my fault that I had such a benevolent thought. If I had sent people to destroy the Li family earlier, I'm afraid there wouldn't have been so many troubles!"
Sun Wei sighed softly: "It's my fault for this matter. I was worried too much at the beginning."
Cai Wen waved his hand and said, "I don't blame you for this matter. After all, you were thinking about me, but I didn't expect that Han Ling would turn to Li Huan and intend to stab me in the back."
A cold light flashed in his eyes, and Cai Wen said viciously: "He chose his own death, so don't blame me for being ruthless."
As he spoke, Cai Wen glanced at the scholar in blue and said, "Brother Gongya, let's put Han Ling's matter in a clean place. After all, he is the official of Qianhu of Jin Yiwei. Don't let anyone catch you."
Sun Wei smiled and said, "Don't worry, sir. The people who do this are all the dead soldiers we have raised over the years. There will never be any future trouble."
Sighing, Cai Wen said with emotion: "Don't you think it's not good for him to be his Qianhu official? Why can't you think of stabbing me in the back? I really don't want to kill anyone!"
Sun Wei stood aside, listening to Cai Wen's emotion, with a calm expression.
Cai Wen suddenly said again: "By the way, has the whereabouts of the man from the capital been confirmed?"
Sun Wei shook his head and said: "After all, we got the news a little late. We hurriedly mobilized manpower to kill Han Lingman's family last night. It's a pity that the people sent to Langqi Island were a step too late and failed to stop the man."
Cai Wen narrowed his eyes and said: "Then send someone to look for me, but the focus is on Cheng Yi. He is very likely to have something about me."
After getting up and pacing, Cai Wen paced back and forth in the pavilion for a long time, and suddenly said: "At the same time, we will send capable personnel to the capital. If they really escape from Fujian, we will intercept and kill them outside the capital."
Just as the waves in the southeast were surging, a terrifying undercurrent was also brewing in the capital.
During the day, Li Huan led Luo Wenxiang and others into the imperial edict in a procession that was almost like a parade. Not only the people of the capital were shocked by this scene, but all the officials were also horrified by it.
Especially when the news came out that several pavilion elders asked to see the emperor and were detained outside the palace gate, the undercurrent became more and more turbulent.
Maoyan Alley is not very famous among the capital, but because a current court elder lived here, it became famous and widely known.
Xie Qian's residence in the capital is located in Maoyan Alley. Even though Maoyan Alley is called an alley, it is actually very wide, and Xie Qian's residence is even more impressive.
The servants of Xie's Mansion were always guarding the front door of the mansion. On weekdays, officials of all sizes visited, welcomed and sent off, which was also a nice job.
It is said that there are seven ranks of officials in front of the prime minister. Although there was no prime minister in the Ming Dynasty, the cabinet ministers were actually not much different from the prime minister. It can be imagined that the servants of the Xie Mansion had seen many high-ranking officials in their daily lives.
However, on this day, the servants of the Xie Mansion who were guarding the front door were a little confused.
[Ah ah ah, you can’t understand the joy of saving manuscripts!]
