Chapter 886 The Chen Family Explains the Future of Heavy Rain
Chapter 886 The Chen family explains that heavy rain will come
At the foot of the mountain, a young soldier crossed his arms and looked at Xiefeng Mountain quietly. Around him, there were more than a hundred soldiers holding crossbows.
They were very quiet, almost silent.
"General Xiao Cheng, do you need to do it again?" the soldier asked.
General Xiao Cheng is not Cheng Chumo, but Cheng Wuting, the son of General Zhongguo Cheng Mingzhen, the leading general on the left. Like most dudes, he cannot study well, so he can only join the army to fight. The good news is that he is the eldest son of Cheng Mingzhen and will inherit the title in the future. Bad
The news is that there is fierce competition among the second generation dandies in Chang'an. If he can inherit the title, so can others.
He raised his hand, shook his head and said: "Those who are good at fighting should first be invincible, then wait for the enemy to be victorious. All the entrances around Xiefeng Mountain have been blocked. The prey has no way to retreat, so it can be captured alive!"
"As you command!"
Yu Kui was running away. He had no other choice but to run away. The imperial court sent out troops to destroy him, leaving him unable to resist. There were only a few dozen people in Xiefeng Mountain, so what could he use to fight against the imperial army?
By accident, he stumbled and rolled down the slope until he hit a tree.
"pain"
He held his head, curled up, and endured, hoping that the other party would kill his men and withdraw their troops, so that he could still escape with his life.
However, he is destined to despair.
Until the next day, he was surrounded by Tang troops armed with crossbows in a mountain col. There were only a dozen of them, but the crossbows in their hands were very deadly.
"I am Yu Kui. Don't let go. I will tell you everything. Don't kill me. Don't kill me!" Yu Kui squatted on the ground with his head in his hands, not daring to move. He had no doubt that as long as he acted rashly,
The next moment you will be shot into a hedgehog by the opponent.
"Very knowledgeable." Cheng Wuting appeared, pulled the trigger, and shot a crossbow arrow in front of Yu Kui, making him tremble with fear.
"From now on, when I ask you a question, you are only responsible for answering. If you say even half a word wrong, one of your fingers will be cut off."
Cheng Wuting turned around, leaving the soldiers to tie up Yu Kui.
He knew he was doomed, that young soldier with a green voice was a tough guy.
Chen Mansion.
"You two came to my Chen family with some so-called evidence for no reason. Do you think my Chen family is easy to bully?" Chen Zhiqiang calmed down and angrily rebuked Wang Gui and Yu Yongning.
Wang Gui sighed: "I have to admit that you did have a lot of courage when you dared to kill people and set fires. Otherwise, you wouldn't have refused to admit it when the matter came to pass. Aren't you planning to wait for Chen Shuda to save you?"
Chen Zhi's expression changed slightly, but he still said forcefully: "I don't know what you are talking about."
In fact, he did want to use Chen Shuda's name to scare Wang Gui, but considering that Chen Shuda had retired, he was afraid that he might not be able to scare the other party. Now that the other party took the initiative to mention it, he knew that something was wrong.
Wang Gui continued: "I'm not afraid to tell you that in this case, even if Chen Shuda was still the Prime Minister, he would not dare to say anything. This time, His Majesty was furious and ordered multiple ministries to jointly investigate the case. Chen Zhi, you must not take the wrong path.
If you cooperate with us now, your Chen family still has a way to survive. Otherwise, your family will be confiscated and exterminated!"
At the end of the sentence, Chen Zhi almost lost his temper.
This is the power of imperial power, this is the power of a strong emperor. Even if they often say in private, "Jingxiang is the Jingxiang of Jingxiang people," but once they encounter powerful suppression from the central government, they are like grandsons.
"Master Chen, why do you have to take the blame for others?" Yu Yongning said at the right time: "If you don't cooperate with us this time, the Chen family can't be saved. You can only save the culprits who did the same thing as you. You won't
Do you expect those people to save you?"
Chen Zhi's face became more and more gloomy and ugly.
Seeing that the other party refused to repent, Wang Gui sneered and said: "Forget it, forget it if he doesn't cooperate. With those evidences, the Chen family can't escape. We can also find out who else bribed them by starting with those officials."
Chen Zhi still refused to let go.
At this moment, a soldier arrived.
"Your Majesty, Captain Cheng has captured Yu Kui and Chen Shi!"
Bang!
Chen Zhi turned pale and fell to the ground.
"Wait a minute, I'll tell you everything."
Wang Gui and Yu Yongning looked at each other and raised their lips at the same time.
With those few boxes of evidence, they could certainly take down the Chen family directly, but would such a big achievement be a big achievement?
It's really not big.
This time, they were ordered by the emperor to come in a big way to scare these ignorant Southerners.
Business is business, but you still play with these things, and dare to set up roadblocks, hijack roads, and bribe officials to conceal things.
What do you want to do?
rebel?
indoor.
When Chen Zhi finished writing the last name, his whole body seemed to have lost all strength and he knelt on the ground motionless.
If this list is handed over, more than 20 states, including Jing'an, Fu, Wen, Sui, Huang, Shen, Yue, Lang, etc., and nearly 30 families, will all be exposed to the eyes of the imperial court. In addition, there are
Officials from more than twenty states.
Thinking of this, Chen Zhi felt as cold as if he was in a world of ice and snow.
Wang Gui took a deep breath after reading the list.
Good guy, no wonder the saint is determined to kill them this time. It turns out that he has already formed a network like this. If they are allowed to continue to develop, it is open to question whether the surname of the south is Li in the future.
Yu Yongning put away the list of officials and took Wang Gui outside.
"My idea is to wait for the envoys from the imperial court to come over, take out the list, gather them together in the name of the imperial court's investigation of the various states, and catch them all. According to my guess, they have now received the news, but they don't know that they have already
Exposed, so the Chen family cannot move for the time being."
"I understand." Wang Gui nodded, "I also need to discuss with the Guard Army to capture all these people." He tapped the list of families from various places in his hand.
"The Guards Army?" Yu Yongning glared and said, "Aren't they the servants brought by the imperial court?"
"Do you really think that the people in the imperial court are so powerful? They can find out whatever they want to find out directly. I have no doubt that His Majesty has already found out all of this." He said meaningfully.
Apart from this possibility, he could not think of a second possibility. Moreover, he even suspected that there were spies of the saint among the guards who followed him to investigate the case. Otherwise, how could he and Yu Zhining investigate so smoothly and quickly?
.
Whether the people under his command are capable or not can be seen at this moment. If the people from Dali Temple of the Criminal Department were investigating the case, how could they be so clever?
Absolutely, no, definitely, His Majesty's spies have already investigated it.
Wang Gui is very self-aware, and he will stop doing this kind of thing. He and Yu Yongning have a pretty good cooperation, so he doesn't mind reminding him a little or selling his favor.
"Thank you, I understand." Yu Yongning really understood that this investigation cannot be done for personal gain, otherwise he may be involved!
"Farewell."
Wang Gui took the first step. He held in his hands the families on this list, which spanned dozens of states. He had to make a plan with the Wei army and arrest them at the same time.
Thinking of the shock this matter would cause if exposed, Wang Gui couldn't help but feel palpitations.
If a saint doesn't move, then everything will turn upside down.
Yu Yongning also took a breath to calm down. He and Wang Gui had a clear division of labor. One was to arrest the Jingxiang family who committed the crime, and the other was to arrest the officials.
As for the officials, he had already made a decision. He planned to take advantage of the situation and directly join forces with the court envoys in Anzhou. He would first call the officials from the surrounding states to question them one by one. On the surface, it was a formal investigation, but in fact, he was directly arresting him!
As for the Chen family, they are just grasshoppers after autumn.
