The yard was filled with dead people, and the house was filled with the smell of blood. Where had a noble man like He Minghan seen such a scene? Facing the murderous strong men, he had long been frightened. He Tang clenched his fist tightly.
Holding the knife, his brows furrowed, thinking about what to do to minimize the damage. But he ignored He Minghan next to him, or in other words, he looked up to He Minghan a little bit.
Feeling the tremendous pressure, He Minghan mustered up the courage and raised his hand and pointed at Tie Mo, "Tie Mo, what do you want to do? Do you know who I am? My father is the new governor of Henan, He Yiqing. If you touch me,
You bear the consequences at your own risk.”
He Minghan roared sternly, but anyone could tell that he lacked the confidence to speak. Tie Mo raised the corners of his mouth slightly, looking at He Minghan as if he was an idiot, while He Tang on the other side had already closed his eyes in despair.
. Stupid, if you say this, don’t you mean to tell everyone that everything was ordered by the adoptive father He Yiqing? If there were not so much nonsense, or if you directly took the responsibility on yourself, at least you would not bring trouble to the adoptive father.
Go over there. He Tang tried every means to get He Yiqing out. Unexpectedly, He Minghan destroyed all hopes before he could figure out how to deal with it.
As expected, Tie Mo smiled sarcastically and said, "He Minghan? Right? So Lord He knows you are here? If Tie touches you, Lord He will be angry, right?"
"Of course, if you touch me, my father will not let you go." He Minghan also noticed something was wrong, but at this time he could only bear it. Tie Mo curled his lips, suddenly raised his hand and shook it off
He went down, and with a bang, He Minghan felt as if his cheek had been slapped by a brick, and he fell to the ground. When he came back to his senses, he touched the corner of his mouth, and his hands were covered with blood, "You...you.
....."
He Minghan pointed at Tie Mo, but at this time, he couldn't say a single harsh word. All he had was fear. At this time, He Tang had no hope and had given up the idea of committing suicide. He knelt down and looked at He Minghan.
He turned his head and said to Tie Mo: "Master Tie Mo, the matter has come to an end. If you want to kill or behead me, please do as you please. This matter was all done by a certain person He, and I also coaxed He Minghan to come here. I have nothing to do with Mr. He."
It doesn’t matter.”
"Really? Do you think anyone believes what you say? How dare you do such a thing? However, Tie Mou thinks that you are a loyal and righteous person, so I will give you a happy death. Someone, come and drag him out and send him away.
He's on his way!" Several guards behind him immediately held He Tang down and dragged him out. He Tang didn't resist from the beginning to the end. Resistance at this time was meaningless. He Minghan was dumbfounded, his head buzzing.
His biggest reliance has always been his sworn brother He Tang. When he was in the capital, He Tang would be the one to solve any troubles. But now, He Tang was actually killed, and his heart suddenly collapsed. He lost hope.
He Minghan rolled around on a donkey, hugging Tie Mo's legs and crying bitterly. He still looked like a noble man, "Tie Inspector, Mr. Tie, don't be as knowledgeable as me, please let me go..."
"Let you go? What are you thinking? If it weren't for your father's relationship, do you think I could keep you till now? Huh, you are really brave. You dare to touch my woman. Have you ever thought about what would happen?
Consequences?" Tie Mo turned his head and waved to Hai Lanzhu, motioning for her to go out first. But Hai Lanzhu didn't move and was still standing at the door. Seeing her like this, Tie Mo didn't insist and took the hand from the guard next to her.
He took a knife and slowly raised it.
"He Minghan, if you do something, you have to think about what the consequences will be. If you touch my woman, hum." After the words fell, the knife in his hand fell quickly. The blade passed by. He Minghan screamed and covered his own body.
His wrist screamed in pain. The knife was quick and vicious, and it directly cut off He Minghan's hand tendons. It didn't end there. Tie Mo swung the knife one after another, directly cutting off the opponent's hand tendons and hamstrings. Finally, he cut off the opponent's hand tendons and hamstrings with one knife.
That evil thing under the crotch.
After everything was done, He Minghan only had half a life left, and could only breathe. If he hadn't been breathing, everyone would have thought that he was dead. He Minghan was not dead, but he had become a cripple. Throwing the knife, Tie Mo sneered.
Said: "Please give him a treatment, don't let him die, and then take him back to Kaifeng. We have to give Mr. He a good gift."
It is said that killing can only be done with a nod of the head. Tie Mo's approach seemed to go too far. But Tie Mo didn't feel that he had done anything wrong. The reason why he was so angry was because he was extremely angry. In court fights and intrigues, everyone used their own methods.
But some people actually extended their hands to their own women, which broke the rules. I want to use this cruel method to tell those people that some things can be done, but some things must not be done. Since some things
If you do it, then don't blame him for being cruel and ruthless.
Early the next morning, the convoy left Zhuxian Town. At this time, the new Henan Governor He Yiqing had not yet arrived in Kaifeng. However, the local snakes in Kaifeng City already knew about Zhuxian Town. Some interested people should pay attention to Tie Mo's every move.
Well, especially Min Zhengyuan and others, they are not willing to remain silent. Now that the incident in Zhuxian Town came out, Min Zhengyuan became a little excited. Min Zhengyuan, who has been in the officialdom for a long time, keenly felt that the opportunity was coming.
If this happens, Tie Mo will definitely take the opportunity to fight back, but the cabinet has made mistakes first, so he can only make concessions. In short, He Yiqing, the governor of Henan, will not succeed. If the new governor of Henan wants to come, he will have to think carefully about himself.
Tie Mo launched a counterattack against the cabinet. To protect his interests in the Central Plains, he needed a qualified speaker. Whoever approached first at this time would get the opportunity. So Min Zhengyuan took Li Zhengqian to the south gate early to wait.
In the past, I just settled the relationship with Tie Mo, but this time it is completely different. I want to get closer. Following Tie Mo is equivalent to completely breaking away from the original Shilin officialdom. This also requires a lot of courage.
If you are ostracized by the officialdom, you will most likely go home to live in retirement. But if you break up with Shilin, you will go another way. Once you fall, not only will your political career be over, but you will not be able to keep it for the rest of your life.
Near noon, the motorcade slowly arrived at the south gate. Min Zhengyuan straightened his clothes and stepped forward to greet her. "It's a blessing that my wife has returned safely. I would like to congratulate the supervisor. My wife was not harmed."
Tie Mo gave him a hand, but his brows furrowed together. Min Zhengyuan stepped forward to greet him at this time, but it was not that simple. He Yiqing was about to come to Kaifeng, and Min Zhengyuan still did this. This was to completely fall over to him, Tie Mo.
Of course, Tie Mo would not push him to get closer to Min Zhengyuan. Min Zhengyuan had been in Kaifeng for many years and his influence was still considerable. After exchanging pleasantries, he accompanied Min Zhengyuan into the city.
Not many officials came to the city gate with Min Zhengyuan. It can be imagined that everyone had already thought of going their separate ways, especially after hearing the news about Zhuxian Town, they did not dare to mess around. He Yiqing was unlucky.
It's not unlucky, but I'm not sure yet, but the conflict between the cabinet and the Iron Superintendent has become clear. To say that what He Yiqing did without the cabinet's approval would be to lie to a fool.
At least from the current point of view, although the Iron Governor is gaining momentum, his influence in the Central Plains is still far less than that of the Cabinet. For the sake of his own career, it is better to stay away from the Iron Governor. After all, not everyone
They all belong to Min Zhengyuan. When the cabinet regains power, Min Zhengyuan and others will fall, but the officials below can still continue to perform their duties. No matter how the chief envoys and prefects are replaced, it will always be up to the people below.
Not long after Tie Mo entered Kaifeng, Chen Qiyu, Yuan Chonghuan, Sun Chuanting and others also arrived in Kaifeng one after another. These people also heard about what happened in Zhuxian Town and came to see the situation. Of course, there were many people who wanted to watch the excitement. Tie Mo
The conflict with He Yiqing is inevitable, and He Yiqing will most likely be unlucky. The important thing is how Tie Mo handles the next thing. Should he really kill He Yiqing and his son? Will he completely fall out with the cabinet?
Sun Chuanting can be said to be the one with the most complicated mood. After learning about Zhuxian Town, he was a little confused. He Yiqing was also a famous figure among scholars, and he actually did such a thing. He Yiqing didn't know what He Minghan did.
?How is that possible? Without He Yiqing's nod, He Tang and He Minghan had hundreds of people who dared to attack Hai Lanzhu. And what He Yiqing did must have been authorized by the cabinet. If they couldn't touch Tie Mo, they would attack the women around Tie Mo.
, Sun Chuanting despised this kind of behavior. However, he couldn't say anything clearly. Sun Chuanting was very sad that the fight in the court had evolved to this point.
At about noon, a guard came to announce that He Yiqing's carriage had entered Kaifeng City. However, He Yiqing did not go to the hotel, but went directly to the Kaifeng Magistrate's Yamen. At this time, He Yiqing did not know the details of Zhuxian Town, but
He Tang and He Minghan hadn't returned for a long time, and coupled with the rumors coming out of Kaifeng City, his mind was a little confused. Things were in chaos, and things naturally lost their way.
According to the plan, He Yiqing should go to the hotel and wait for the Kaifeng officials to meet. This way he can roughly distinguish the factions and know who he should pay attention to next. However, He Yiqing was concerned about the situation of his biological son He Minghan, and was upset.
He also forgot about this, and actually ordered the coachman to drive the carriage to the prefect's Yamen. As soon as he entered Kaifeng Mansion, He Yiqing missed it because the prefect Min Zhengyuan was not in the government office. He heard from the officials below that the prefect was accompanying him at this time.
The Iron Governor is having a drink in Hanyuan.
He Yiqing suddenly became angry, but his son He Minghan was still holding it in Tie Mo's hand, so he could only endure it. Originally, he wanted to talk to Min Zhengyuan, and Xiao Xiao used his own interests to ask him to help put pressure on the loss.
To the lowest level, I didn’t expect that Min Zhengyuan had completely turned to Tie Mo. But if you think about it, you can understand that Min Zhengyuan, an evergreen official in the officialdom, could not understand his own situation? He would return to the embrace of the cabinet, although he would not retire and return to his hometown.
, but the possibility of being reused is also very slim. There are scholars all over the world, and hundreds of officials are pure and clean. There are many people who can succeed Min Zhengyuan. One who has more Min Zhengyuan is not more, and one who is less than him is not many.
But when it comes to Tie Mo, it's a big difference. Tie Mo has not many people who can use it, especially in the Central Plains area, and the number of people who can use it is even less. With people like Min Zhengyuan, how can Tie Mo not use it well?
?
With no choice, He Yiqing had no choice but to go to Hanyuan. At this time, there were many guards in Hanyuan. It seemed that He Yiqing had been expected to come. Wang Zuogao had been waiting at the door, and he held his hand with a smile on his face.
, "Master He, my supervisor has been waiting for you for a long time. Please come in. As for Mr. Ling's matter, we can discuss it in detail later. Anyway, we don't care about this moment."
After saying that, Wang Zuoguan showed a smile full of malice, and He Yiqing felt a chill running down his spine, "Are you Wang Zuoguan? I have heard about it for a long time. I will give the Iron Superintendent a warning about the naughty son."
Explain, but you must always do things in a measured way."
Wang Zuogao frowned and sighed sarcastically: "Master He, who do you think is the one who has no sense of propriety? The one who made the first move was not my supervisor, but Mr. He. My supervisor was already polite enough, otherwise
, Mr. He should collect the body for Mr. He."
Wang Zuoguan was also warning He Yiqing that it was best to recognize the reality, otherwise, there would be no need to talk, and he would just go back and kill He Minghan. Faced with this threat, He Yiqing only felt a little difficult to breathe, and he grunted and ignored Wang Zuoguan.
.
In Hanyuan's elegant room, not only Tie Mo and Min Zhengyuan were present, but Yuan Chonghuan, Chen Qiyu and others were also present. After He Yiqing entered the elegant room, he was a little overwhelmed when he saw so many familiar faces. He wanted to follow
Tie Mo talked, not in front of so many people, everyone has face, but judging from Tie Mo's intention, he planned to step directly into the mud pit.
"Tie Superintendent, this kid has done all sorts of wrong things in his youth, please Superintendent spare his life for my own sake!" He Yiqing directly stated his intention. It was not that he didn't want to tactfully greet him, but he really didn't want to.
This is the mood.
It's better to cut through the mess quickly and see what Tie Mo's attitude is. He Yiqing said this, which made Tie Mogao take a look. He gave up the hypocritical words and faced the subject directly, which was considered a risk. Tie Mo pointed at the empty seat next to him.
He said calmly: "Master He, you and I know some things well. Tie will not sell out to you. He Minghan can leave it to you, but things here must remain as they are."
"This..." He Yiqing was heartbroken. He came to Henan to consolidate power. Now that he is not allowed to take charge, what would he do? If he is willing, the court is not willing either.
He wanted to object, but he didn't have the courage, because it was all the instigation of He Yiqing. He was in the wrong, and others took the blame. He didn't have the confidence to refute. Seeing He Yiqing like this, the most painful thing was for Sun Chuanting.
It can be said that He Yiqing's expression shattered Sun Chuanting's last hope.
Sun Chuanting hoped that this matter had nothing to do with He Yiqing. Although the possibility was very small, at least his faith would not collapse. But He Yiqing's reaction made Sun Chuanting doubt for the first time whether what he had insisted on before was right.
"Master He...you have read poetry and books and become a great talent in the country. Is this how you are loyal to the Ming Dynasty and the country?"
Sun Chuanting stood up suddenly, pointed at He Yiqing, and asked angrily.
He Yiqing raised his head and moved his lips, but he didn't know what to say.
