Chapter 138 Torn face! 【order】

Many people in the restaurant were startled by Li Huan's entry into the city, especially some well-informed people who immediately recognized Li Huan's procuratorial envoy Cai Wen, Zuo Buzheng Gu Huang, and the right The chief minister, Qian Zhong, and Huang Wenzheng, the prefect of Fuzhou, followed a group of officials.

These can be said to be all the leading figures in Fujian, but these usually high-ranking officials are surrounded by an obviously much younger official, which naturally makes people secretly guess Li Huan's identity.

Especially the imperial guard of honor, knowledgeable people recognized it, and then explained it to those who didn't understand with a bit of pride.

After some explanations, everyone came to understand. No wonder the extremely young looking official was surrounded by so many high-ranking officials. The affectionate person is an imperial envoy, representing the emperor.

It's just that these people obviously don't know Li Huan's identity, so everyone is just discussing and guessing who Li Huan is.

Some people speculated that Li Huan must be the son of a high-ranking official in the capital, or the young nobles who were hereditary.

Otherwise, it would be difficult for them to imagine what kind of family such a young imperial envoy could come from.

Sitting by the window, Chen Yidao, Zhao Zhi and the others didn't intend to speak, but just sat there listening to the discussion of the crowd, listening to these people speculate on Li Huan's identity, their hearts were filled with a kind of pride.

Although their young master was not from a distinguished family background, he has done things that even the nobles could not do.

Suddenly, a person exclaimed: "I remembered, I know who this imperial envoy is."

As soon as these words came out, all the people in the restaurant looked at that person together, even Chen Yidao and Zhao Zhi looked over in surprise.

After all, Li Huan used to spend most of his time in Langqi Islet, most often in Changle County. He had almost never been to Fuzhou Prefecture. It would be strange to say that someone knew Li Huan.

The person who said he knew Li Huan's identity looked like a businessman, about forty years old, with excitement in his eyes, and under the gaze of everyone, he said, "If I'm not mistaken, this imperial envoy is our Fuzhou envoy." A surname from Changle County."

Many people immediately exclaimed after hearing the words: "This is impossible. I have never heard of such a powerful young man in our Fuzhou Prefecture. You must admit it wrong."

The merchant looked at the figure of Li Huan going away, and the memory in his mind became more and more clear, and he said excitedly: "Yes, I can be sure, do you know the Li family in Langqi, Changle County?"

The Langqi Li family is somewhat famous in Changle County, but to be honest, not many people know about it outside of Changle County.

After all, the guards in a place are just hereditary officials of a hundred households. Once you leave a county, who will know who you are.

This Fuzhou prefecture governs several counties, especially Fuzhou prefecture is still the administrative center of the whole Fujian. I don’t know how many aristocratic families have gathered, and they may not be able to remember these aristocratic powerful families, let alone small locals. Rich.

Seeing everyone's reactions in his eyes, the merchant laughed and said: "A few years ago, Li Xian, who was the hereditary official of the Hundred Households in Langqiyu Guards, died, and his son Li Huan died in order to keep the hereditary position of the Hundred Households Official. , had to compete with the Lianjiangfang clan. It was also at that time that many people knew Li Huan's name."

Someone reacted and couldn't help but said: "You mean that the one who was surrounded by senior officials such as the chief envoy and the inspector just now is Li Huan, who was born in the Li family of Langqi."

The merchant nodded and said, "That's right. I was lucky enough to see this imperial envoy from a distance. Although the imperial envoy has changed a lot in the past few years, I am still a good person."

Obviously, most people still don't believe what the merchant said.

Some people even sneered and said: "Even if you are a nonsense, you can make it more convincing. A mere hereditary family born in a hundred families can become an imperial envoy representing the emperor to inspect the place in just two or three years. Are you doing this?" Are you joking, or are we all fools?"

"Yes, if you don't have a big enough background, how could you become an imperial envoy of the emperor at such an age? If you want to say that he is the son of a prince's family, we can barely believe it, but you say he is just a little boy." The little hereditary official of a hundred households..."

Listening to these people's discussion, Lian Qiao couldn't help saying in a low voice: "Why don't these people believe it?"

Zhao Zhi stroked his beard and looked at Lianqiao with a smile, "Girl Lianqiao, because they dare not even think about things in their own dreams, even if they really happened, they would not believe it."

Hearing the sarcasm from the crowd, the merchant blushed and said urgently: "He is really Li Huan from the Li family of Langqi, why don't you believe it?"

Said the merchant and said: "If you don't believe me, you can send people to inquire. I believe that it won't be long before the news about this imperial envoy will definitely spread, and then you will know that I am not lying."

At this moment, Chen Yidao and Zhao Zhi stood up and prepared to leave. When Lin Zhennan walked to the stairs, he looked back at everyone and smiled at the merchant, "You are right, the imperial envoy is indeed Langqi Li. Your son, Li Huan."

After speaking, Lin Zhennan strode downstairs, leaving behind everyone in the restaurant with stunned faces.

"Ah, that... that's Lin Zhennan, Chief Escort Lin of Fuwei Escort Agency, I recognize him!"

Someone obviously recognized Lin Zhennan's identity.

Lin Zhennan was quite a well-known figure in Fuzhou City. After all, the Lin Jiafuwei Escort had the widest range of contacts, from high-ranking officials and dignitaries, down to all kinds of religions and high-ranking schools, so there were a lot of people who knew Lin Zhennan.

In this restaurant alone, there are several people who know Lin Zhennan.

Someone who knew Lin Zhennan couldn't help but said: "Boss Lin's escort has traveled all over the world, and he has the best news. He said that the imperial envoy is Li Huan from the Li family of Langqi, so he must be right."

Suddenly someone sat there with a bit of envy and said with envy: "I heard that the Lin family and the Langqi Li family are related by marriage. If that Li Huan of the Langqi Li family is really an imperial envoy, then the Fuzhou Lin family may just climb up the ranks." It's Gao Zhi'er!"

"Oh, when you said that, I suddenly understood why Wang Zuye, Fang Ke, and Hu Hai sued the Lin Family Association a few days ago and were ordered by the magistrate to give [-] slaps."

At any rate, Wang Zuye, Fang Ke, and Hu Hai, who are well-known wealthy businessmen in Fuzhou City, were suddenly ordered by the magistrate to take off their pants and beat them thirty times. Even after these days, it is still the same. The hottest news in Fuzhou City.

It's just that many people were very curious at that time, why those noble gentry who usually wanted to be windy and rainy in Fuzhou City would suddenly be slapped by the magistrate.

Now that they knew the relationship between the Lin family and the imperial envoy, everyone suddenly realized.

However, Li Huan, Wang Yangming and his party were welcomed into a quite elegant courtyard. This courtyard was neither big nor small, and it was not very luxurious, but more of a kind of elegance.

After being seated, Zuo Buzheng Gu Huang was the head of the officials, and explained to Li Huan and Wang Yangming with a smile: "This is the Green Bamboo Garden, the environment is quiet, and it is not bad. It would be convenient for the two adults to stay in Fujian. Live here."

Li Huan first glanced at Wang Yangming when he heard the words, and said with a slight smile: "My lords are kind, if Li refuses..."

At this moment, Wang Yangming coughed lightly, and said with a worried look on his face: "Lord Li, I'm afraid this is against the rules. I'm going to investigate the case, and I should stay at the inn."

Gu Huang, Qian Zhong and the others were overjoyed when they saw Li Huan at first, but when Wang Yangming spoke, all the officials couldn't help but froze, and subconsciously looked at Li Huan.

At the same time, many people secretly sighed in their hearts. It seems that this Lord Supervising Censor Wang who was born in the Metropolitan Procuratorate is really at odds with Li Huan, who is also a Jinyiwei.

Cai Wen stroked his beard and squinted his eyes, looking back and forth between Li Huan and Wang Yangming.

Li Huan snorted softly and said: "If Mr. Wang wants to follow the rules, then you should live in the inn. Anyway, Li thinks this Green Bamboo Garden is good."

Wang Yangming's complexion changed immediately, he snorted coldly and said: "I will truthfully report this matter to Your Majesty."

Li Huan sneered and said, "Lord Wang, you can do whatever you want."

Gu Huang coughed lightly and hurriedly said, "My lords, don't hurt your peace because of such a trivial matter."

Gu Huang said in a loud voice: "Quickly send an order to have someone bring up the prepared meals, and I'll be able to clean up the dust for the two adults."

During the banquet, Li Huan never refused to those officials who came to toast him, and even talked loudly, which gave people the impression that he was arrogant and arrogant when he was a teenager.

On the contrary, Wang Yangming sat there all the time, rarely speaking, and even some officials who toasted to him were afraid to speak because of his repulsive aura.

After the banquet was over, Li Huan really stayed in the Green Bamboo Garden as he said, while Wang Yangming, the deputy envoy, took a team of soldiers to the post station. The face is divided into two places, and the internal contradictions are well known to everyone.

With the departure of a group of officials, Jin Yiwei quickly took over the defense of the entire Green Bamboo Garden.

At this moment, Chen Yao looked at Li Huan, who had changed from his former unrestrained appearance, and said, "Don't even mention it, my lord, you just performed with Mr. Wang. If my subordinates hadn't known about it, I'm afraid they would have thought you two were real. It's broken."

Li Huan smiled lightly and said, "If it weren't for that, those officials would be thinking wildly. You didn't see it. After the scene between me and Mr. Yangming, the expressions of those officials were obviously much more relaxed."

Chen Yao sneered and said: "They have ghosts in their hearts. If you and Mr. Wang are in the same heart, wouldn't they be the ones who are unlucky?"

However, Li Huan shook his head slowly and said: "This move is at most temporarily stabilizing some people's hearts, but it's hard to say whether they can fool Cai Wen, Gu Huang and the like."

As he spoke, Li Huan looked at Chen Yao and said, "How are Sun Xiang and Cai Changgui doing?"

Chen Yao said sternly: "Don't worry, my lord. We have the most brilliant disguise master who helped them both disguise themselves. Even if he saw Cai Wen with his own eyes, he wouldn't be able to recognize him."

Li Huan nodded and said: "Be sure to look after people, they are extremely important witnesses."

He said with a solemn expression: "Have our people kept an eye on the various health stations in Fuzhou?"

Chen Yao nodded and said: "When we first entered Fujian, more than a hundred guards from the Jinyi guards we brought have already been separated out, and now the guards that Cai Wen and the others might move have been completely stared down, and some adults have even covered them up. Your Excellency's imperial envoy's seal is in hand, and our Jinyiwei people can temporarily control each guard station if necessary."

Li Huan nodded slightly and said: "Even the guards are rotten, after all, they are violent institutions. As long as the guards are not in chaos, just relying on the chief secretary and the people under the control of the procuratorate will not make a big mess."

When he said this, a sharp look flashed in Li Huan's eyes.

After leaving the Green Bamboo Garden, Qian Zhongdang, the right minister who had always been at odds with Gu Huang and Cai Wen, parted ways with Cai Wen and the others.

Seeing Qian Zhong leave, Gu Huang snorted coldly and muttered softly: "What are you so lofty, do you really think that if you don't be greedy or take possession, you have nothing to do?"

Cai Wen squinted his eyes and looked at the direction Qian Zhong was leaving. A cold light flashed in his eyes and said: "Brother Gu, Qian Zhong is a man of high self-esteem and disdains to cooperate with us. The case of Han Ling exterminating his family, but I always feel that Li Huan came here not just for Han Ling."

Gu Huang frowned, and said in a low voice: "I knew that Han Lingman's family should not have been wiped out, but I didn't expect the imperial court to send imperial envoys to investigate."

Hearing Gu Huang say such childish words, Cai Wen couldn't help but secretly shook his head in his heart. With this bit of political consciousness and IQ, it means that he followed the right person. Otherwise, how could he have a smooth journey in the officialdom.

Do you really think that if Han Ling's family is immortal, they will have a good life?If the imperial court really sent someone to investigate Han Ling's case, it would only be people from Jin Yiwei who came to investigate, not in the name of an imperial envoy, and even sent the supervisory censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate. Do you think it's just for a thousand households of Jinyiwei?

Sighing softly in his heart, Cai Wen looked at Gu Huang and said in a low voice, "My lord, it's best to send someone to watch over Mr. Qian."

Gu Huang was taken aback for a moment, then realized: "My dear brother means that he is Qian Zhonggan..."

Cai Wen said solemnly: "I'm not afraid of ten thousand, just in case, if you say that Qian Zhong doesn't have some information about us, brother Gu, do you believe it yourself?"

Gu Huang's complexion changed and he couldn't help cursing: "Damn it, I don't have any enmity with him, he dares to harm me!"

However, Gu Huang obviously realized the seriousness of the problem, nodded at Cai Wen and said, "Don't worry, I will send my confidants to keep an eye on Qian Zhong."

Back in a separate courtyard, Gu Huang, Cai Wen and several of their confidants are waiting for them in the other courtyard.

At this moment, Cai Wen took his seat, glanced at Sun Wei and said, "How about what you were asked to do? Did you find anything in the team of Li Huan and his team?"

Sun Wei took a deep breath, cupped his hands at Cai Wen and Gu Huang, and said, "My lord, from the day before yesterday, our people used various identities to secretly spy on Li Huan and his team, and when they entered the city, we sent people to carefully monitor them." I snooped around, and even checked again when I arranged for the entourage to enter the post station and the Green Bamboo Garden, and there was nothing abnormal."

Cai Wen couldn't help frowning when he heard Sun Wei's words: "Could it be that I really think too much?"

Thinking of Li Huan mentioning Sun Xiang to him not long ago with his usual expression, Li Huan's undifferentiated expression made Cai Wen's doubts shake a little.

With a glance, Cai Wen looked at Sun Wei and said, "Gongya, today Li Huan told me that Sun Xiang has returned to Fujian, do you think his words are credible?"

Sun Wei said almost instinctively: "This is impossible. If brother really comes back, how could he not come to see you?"

At this moment, Gu Huang took a sip of tea and said, "After all, it's a long distance from the capital to Fujian, so there must be some accident along the way!"

Gu Huang said again: "When the old man saw Li Huan mentioning Sun Xiang, both his demeanor and reaction were very natural, and it didn't look like he was lying."

Cai Wen felt a little irritable, rubbed his forehead and said: "Let's not mention Sun Xiang's matter for now, and arrange for you to do something else, how is the arrangement?"

Sun Wei nodded and said, "It's already been arranged."

At this moment, Gu Huang glanced at Cai Wen and Sun Wei suspiciously and said, "My dear brother, Mr. Gong Ya, what are you..."

Cai Wen smiled and said, "It's just dealing with some beginnings and ends, Brother Gu, don't worry."

Hearing what Cai Wen said, Gu Huang nodded slightly and said, "My dear brother, you can do things for me. You can be trusted as a brother. How to deal with the imperial envoy this time is entirely up to you, my dear brother."

Cai Wen smiled modestly and said: "Brother Gu is just joking. After all, we are just trying to protect ourselves. I just hope that Li Huan and the others can take it lightly and let me get through this disaster."

Gu Huang nodded in agreement and said: "Yes, everyone came out to be an official, who can do nothing wrong, sometimes just pass by with eyes closed."

After seeing off Gu Huang, Cai Wen looked at Sun Wei with a serious expression on his face.

Sun Wei looked at Cai Wen and said solemnly: "My lord, Gu Buzheng is too naive, we can't pin our hopes on Li Huan and Wang Yangming, if Li Huan is really ignorant of everything, then that's fine. He really came rushing towards us, so my lord had to make preparations early."

Cai Wen nodded and said, "Just now, Gu Huang was here, and I didn't go into details. Tell me, what happened to the arrangement I asked you to make earlier?"

A stern look flashed across Sun Wei's face and said: "My lord, don't worry, as early as a month ago, I have summoned all of our people back according to my lord's instructions, and now everything has been properly arranged, all I need is your lord's order." Come on, you can go out at any time."

Cai Wen let out a long breath, his eyes filled with endless madness, and said quietly: "I hope Li Huan will not force me to take this step, otherwise..."

Sun Wei said with a strange smile on his lips, "My lord, you don't have to be so pessimistic. Even if the worst result really happens, don't we still have ways to deal with it?"

Cai Wen nodded slightly and said with a light smile, "Actually, I have always wanted to be a good official, it's just that the world..."

Sun Wei looked at Cai Wen and said seriously: "My lord is a good official!"

Cai Wen couldn't help being taken aback for a moment, and then laughed loudly: "Gong Ya knows me, Gong Ya knows me!"

While he was talking, there was a rush of footsteps, and when he saw the man, Cai Wen couldn't help frowning.

The person who came was Cai Biao, Cai Wen's younger brother. Because of his ability, he was valued by Cai Wen. He got through the relationship with the army, and found a vacancy for Cai Biao as a grain ambassador in the guard.

"Hurry up, what's your style?"

Cai Biao couldn't help being startled when Cai Wen scolded him. After realizing it, he quickly said, "Clan brother, I have something important to report."

Cai Wen said lightly: "Tell me, what's the matter? Don't tell me you moved the food and fodder in the guards, causing a mutiny."

Cai Biao said with an aggrieved expression: "Brother, you don't know that the rats in the grain depot of the guard will come out crying. If I want to do something, I have to have food for me."

Putting down the teacup, Cai Wen said, "What's the matter?"

Cai Biao said with a mysterious expression: "Brother Clan, my younger brother accidentally discovered a few more unfamiliar faces outside the guard station earlier. At first, my younger brother didn't pay attention to it, but those unfamiliar faces continued for several days. Appearing, this naturally aroused the younger brother's idea, the younger brother's investigation, do you know what the younger brother found out?"

Cai Wen looked solemn at this time, looked at Cai Biao and said, "Say it quickly."

Cai Biao took a deep breath and said, "Brother used money and entrusted some local ruffians to find trouble for those people. You know, these people like to bully strangers and foreigners the most. As a result, those local ruffians were killed one by one. Taught me a lesson."

As he said that, Cai Biao's eyes showed a bit of surprise: "One of the little hooligans told me that he felt that those who taught them a lesson looked like the Jinyiwei in the city..."

"what!"

Cai Wen gave a low shout full of shock and anger, and Sun Wei beside him looked extremely ugly, and the two looked at each other.

Sun Wei gritted his teeth and said, "What a Li Huan, he has deceived everyone. If I am not mistaken, the Jinyiwei that Cai Biao found should be sent by Li Huan."

Cai Wen sneered and said, "He's not stupid. He knows that he must keep an eye on the guard before making a move, in case we jump over the wall in a hurry and mobilize the guard's troops to cause chaos."

Said Cai Wen's eyes sparkled and said: "It seems that Cheng Yi really took away our criminal evidence, and those criminal evidence fell into his hands, but I don't know when he is going to take us down. "

Sun Wei took a deep breath and said slowly: "Li Huan's performance at the banquet earlier confused many people, even we were almost deceived by him, if it wasn't for Cai Biao's discovery, maybe we still want to He was walking around and looking at one step at a time, but he didn't know that he was already ready to do it."

Cai Wen's eyes were a little red, and his breathing gradually became rapid. It was obvious that he was struggling violently in his heart.

Suddenly, Cai Wen with red eyes looked up at Sun Wei and said, "Gongya, pass my order to those people, let them do it immediately."

Cai Wen, who was speaking with a ferocious face, said in an almost crazy tone: "Give me a fire to the Green Bamboo Garden, and burn Li Huan to death. Isn't he just an imperial envoy? If you dare to investigate this official, then You have to bear the price of angering the official."

With a thud, Cai Biao fell limply to the ground. What did he hear? His brother actually wanted to burn the imperial envoy to death in the Green Bamboo Garden.This... this is simply crazy.

The ferocious look on his face was gradually replaced by indifference, Cai Wen glanced at the startled Cai Biao lightly, and said coldly: "The sky is high and the emperor is far away, so what about the imperial envoys, let's go through the motions honestly, Naturally, we won't let him return to Beijing empty-handed, but now he wants to attack us out of nowhere, so don't blame us."

Cai Biao shuddered violently, and suddenly said to Cai Wen with a look of fear on his face: "Clan brother, that...that is an imperial envoy, if this is exposed, murdering an imperial envoy is tantamount to rebellion, and it will punish the nine clans." sin."

Cai Wen just said coldly: "If he, Li Huan, does not die, then we will be the ones who will die."

Sun Wei stroked his beard and said sinisterly: "Rabbits bite people when they are in a hurry. Besides, no one stipulates that the imperial envoys will not be burned to death by accident, right?"

The second one is delivered, nearly [-], please support the full order, if you can make a full order, please give me a full order, only a few dozen full orders are needed to be a high-quality product.
