Chapter 142 You Are Going to Revitalize the Unjust Prison! 【order】

Although Cai Wen's way of committing suicide by taking poison was somewhat unexpected, but if you think about it carefully, with Cai Wen's temperament, he absolutely cannot accept the ending of falling into the hands of his opponent after failure.

Therefore, Cai Wen's death is inevitable, and his temperament is doomed that once he is completely defeated, and there is no hope, he will use his own way to solve his own life.

Looking away from Cai Wen's body, Li Huan calmed down and said, "Take these people and Cai Wen's body, and follow me back to Green Bamboo Garden."

As for Huang Wenzheng looking at Li Huan just now, Li Huan couldn't feel it, but Li Huan didn't pay attention at all.

Hearing this, Huang Wenzheng hurriedly shouted to the guards behind him: "What are you doing, why don't you hurry up and help me?"

At this time, the sky had already turned white, and the sky was gradually brightening. Even though he hadn't rested all night, Li Huan's spirit was still very full.

At this time, Huang Wenzheng couldn't help yawning. He was awakened in the middle of the night. He was very tense before, so naturally he didn't feel anything, but when Cai Wen died, his mind suddenly relaxed, and a sense of extreme fatigue came.

Bowing his body, Huang Wenzheng said to Li Huan: "My lord, you haven't rested all night. Now that Cai Wenfu has been executed, you can take a rest."

Li Huan just glanced at Huang Wenzheng faintly and said: "If Mr. Huang is tired, you might as well go back and rest first."

Speaking of which, Li Huan ignored Huang Wenzheng, turned around and walked outside.

Although it is said that Cai Wen is dead, Cai Wen is dead when he is dead, and everything is just the beginning.

The big fire at night lit up half of the sky. At first, many people were paying attention to Li Huan's whereabouts, but it turned out that more than one person couldn't sleep because of the big fire.

In Fujian official circles, unless you are a stunned newcomer, otherwise, you must be clear in your heart, that is who is the person who really holds the right to speak in Fujian official circles.

As for Han Ling being exterminated, he could easily exterminate a thousand households of Jinyiwei in a prefecture such as Fuzhou and suppress them, but anyone who is not a fool knows that there are only so many people who can do this There are only one or two people.

The most suspicious of them is obviously Cai Wen.

Cai Wen's ruthlessness is well known to many people, and it is precisely because of Cai Wen's ruthless methods that Cai Wen has been able to truly cover the sky with one hand in these years, and exist like a local emperor in Fujian.

When many people got the news that a group of people suddenly appeared to besiege the Green Bamboo Garden in the middle of the night, and a raging fire was ignited in the Green Bamboo Garden, although many officials said they were extremely shocked, they also realized immediately that this It must have come from Cai Wen, stop it.

Looking at the entire Fujian officialdom, there is only Cai Wen who has that strength, that kind of ruthlessness, and that kind of courage to do such a thing.

Before the results came out, there were very few officials like Huang Wenzheng who ran out like a stupefied young man. It can be said that almost all the officials who guessed the inside story seemed to have not seen the fire, and just hid at home sullenly. , waiting for the results in the daytime.

If the imperial envoy Li Huan was burned to death, then they would help Cai Wen cover up as usual and write a letter to the court together.

Of course, if Cai Wen fails, they don't mind watching Cai Wen's jokes.

Of course, there are still some officials belonging to Cai Wen’s party members who are looking forward to Li Huan’s death. After all, their interests are the same as Cai Wen’s. If something happens to Cai Wen, they are grasshoppers who belong to the same rope as Cai Wen. , the last one can not escape.

Finally, the sky brightened, and the fire that illuminated the night sky had also been extinguished. A guard haunted the homes of officials in Fuzhou City and conveyed Huang Wenzheng's news.

All officials went to Green Bamboo Garden.

As soon as the news came out, many officials were at a loss in their minds, because no matter how they asked, the guards refused to say a word, let alone answer their inquiries.

So these officials didn't know whether Li Huan, the imperial envoy, was alive or dead.

But no matter what, since the fire started, it was not so easy to extinguish it. No matter whether Li Huan was alive or dead, officials from the Fuzhou officialdom had to be there.

Not long after, all the officials including Gu Huang, Cai Wen, Qian Zhong and other officials who greeted Li Huan the night before yesterday all rushed to the Green Bamboo Garden.

When a group of officials came to the Green Bamboo Garden, they couldn't help showing a look of horror.

The originally exquisite Green Bamboo Garden turned into ruins at this moment, and many unextinguished flames could even be seen burning.

Some guards are carefully lifting some corpses out of the ruins.

Some of these corpses were badly burned by the fire, while others were not affected by the fire and were intact.

It can be seen that these corpses are all wearing night clothes, and they are strong and strong, like those fishermen who survived at sea.

But when they saw these corpses, the hearts of the officials were as bright as a mirror. These were probably the pirates raised by Cai Wen in the legend.

It's just that Cai Wen's figure was not seen at this moment, let alone Li Huan's figure, which made the officials full of confusion.

Several officials gathered together and discussed in low voices.

"Brother Ma, you can see that the Green Bamboo Garden has been burnt to such a state, I'm afraid the Imperial Envoy is in danger!"

"Brother Chen is right, but when the imperial envoy died, we should try our best to arrest the culprit, and give an explanation to the imperial envoy's spirit in heaven, and also to the court."

"Yes, yes, the damned pirate is simply too rampant, even dare to kill the imperial envoy!"

Needless to say, nine out of ten people whispering such things are Cai Wen's henchmen.

Of course, in the huge Fujian officialdom, no matter how vicious Cai Wen is, there are still some people who don't want to associate with Cai Wen.

It's just that these people are often weak, and they can't pose any threat to Cai Wen's party. As long as he doesn't take the initiative to touch Cai Wen's bad luck, Cai Wen will turn a blind eye to some of these people's actions.

It doesn't matter who is behind it, no matter how much Cai Wen can cover the sky with one hand, he doesn't want to make trouble for himself.

So in Fujian official circles, there are officials who belong to Cai Wen’s party, as well as other factions, such as some officials who are attached to the right minister Qian Zhong, and officials like Huang Wenzheng who are not attached to anyone.

At this time, many officials were in front of the Green Bamboo Garden, looking at the ruins, talking about it.

Suddenly, they saw a group of Jinyiwei and elite soldiers approaching slowly in the distance, and the leader was Li Huan whom they had met yesterday.

When these officials saw Li Huan walking over with Wang Yangming, they felt a thud in their hearts. Some of them changed their expressions drastically, while others showed astonishment.

"How is it possible that he is still alive!"

"As for Mr. Cai, Mr. Cai has never missed anything. Now that he has done something, how could he let Li Huan go."

Several of Cai Wen's confidant officials were already panicking at the moment, and cold sweat even oozes from their foreheads. The most important thing is that they saw the right Buzheng Qian Zhong, the prefect Huang Wenzheng, and almost all of them. Colleagues, but the only ones who did not see Zuo Buzheng Gu Huang and the inspector Cai Wen.

These two people can be said to be the core of their party. Without these two people, they are like poisonous snakes whose heads were suddenly beheaded.

"The imperial envoy is here!"

With a shout, all the officials just felt shocked.

Headed by Qian Zhong, all the officials bowed down to Li Huan and Wang Yangming.

"I will pay my respects to my lord!"

Li Huan didn't speak, and all the officials naturally maintained a salute posture, which made many officials feel uneasy.

After a few breaths, Li Huan said slowly, "You don't need to be too polite."

When Li Huan opened his mouth, many people finally breathed a sigh of relief.

But at the next moment, Li Huan said directly and coldly: "Gu Huang and Cai Wen are insane. In order to prevent the imperial envoy from investigating the case, they actually sent thieves to besiege the imperial envoy's guard of honor, intending to kill people. Is this two people of the same party?"

Speaking of this, Li Huan's face turned cold, and he snorted coldly: "Come here, take down these rebels who plot to assassinate the imperial envoys and intend to rebel."

Li Huan's words directly frightened everyone. Although he knew that this matter would not be so easy to settle when he saw Li Huan, he did not expect that Li Huan would deduct such a sentence for them when he came up. A hat that no one can bear.

That is a serious crime of treason and rebellion. If it is true, even if the nine clans are not exterminated, at least the three clans will not be able to escape.

Plop, plop, as soon as Li Huan finished speaking, several officials were so frightened that they passed out.

As for the rest of the officials not fainted by fright, they all looked pale and looked at Li Huan with a bit of horror.

Suddenly an official shouted: "My lord, I am wronged, I am wronged by the lower officials, the lower officials report according to the procurator's experience Zuo Huai, the chief Qin Zheng, and the doctor Zhu Ming, they are all Cai Wenzhi's confidantes..."

Among them, according to the experience of Zuo Huai and Qin Zheng in charge, the procurator was among these officials. Hearing this, he felt his head explode, and almost instinctively pointed at the officials who reported them and cursed: "Fu An, you **** off!" If you want to spout blood, we...we just get closer to Cai Wen, where are his cronies..."

Seeing this, Li Huan sneered, waved his big hand and said, "Come here, take down Cai Wenzhi's fellow party members Zuo Huai and Qin Zheng!"

Immediately, several guards in Jinyi came forward holding the shackles like menacing gods, and without a word, they put the shackles on the two who were pointing at Fu An who had reported them and yelled at them, and dragged them aside from among the officials.

Seeing such a situation, some officials reacted immediately, imitating Fu An one by one and began to report Cai Wen and Gu Huang's henchmen among them.

In just a blink of an eye, only about one-third of the dozens of officials who were able to stand here despite the mutual accusations of officials were left.

On one side are sparse officials who escaped in shock, and on the other side are officials who were shackled and kept shouting, cursing, and even crying.

Li Huan ignored the cursing and roaring of these officials at all, and turned his attention to Qian Zhong, the right minister.

Qian Zhong belonged to that kind of traditional civil servant, and he was born with an incomparable dislike for Li Huan's status as a Jin Yiwei, so he didn't give Li Huan any good looks at all.

Qian Zhong also noticed the way Li Huan looked at him, but he insisted that he had nothing to do with Cai Wen and Gu Huang at all. Even when all the officials reported each other just now, none of them reported him.

Qian Zhong, who maintained his identity, said to Wang Yangming who was standing next to Li Huan: "My lord, as the supervisory censor, why don't you just sit and watch Li Huan just rely on the officials' unfounded reports to arrest you?" person?"

Hearing this, Wang Yangming couldn't help looking at Qian Zhong.

But now Li Huan listened to Qian Zhong's words, a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth and he suddenly shouted: "Bold Qian Zhong, you are indeed Cai Wen's party, come here, don't let me take down this traitor!"

Qian Zhong couldn't help being stunned for a moment, and then reacted, pointing at Li Huan and yelling: "You dog thief, how dare you do this, there is nothing wrong with you if you want to commit a crime, Wang Yangming, just watch this dog thief randomly place me and other civil servants. Is it a crime?"

Regarding this Qian Zhong, to be honest, at first Wang Yangming really thought he was an honest official who dared to fight with Cai Wen and Gu Huang. Cai Wen and Gu Huang did not deal with it, it was entirely because there was a conflict of interest between the two parties.

There is also a group of people standing behind Qian Zhong, and they also have an interest group. They do things like murder and arson, and ignore human lives no less than Cai Wen and Gu Huang.

It's just that relatively speaking, Qian Zhong and his group are weaker than Cai Wen and Gu Huang.

It can be said that Qian Zhong, Cai Wen, and Gu Huang are all like dogs. If you are really confused by their appearance, you will be blind.

After hearing the words, several guards in Jinyi stepped forward and arrested Qian Zhong amidst Qian Zhong's furious curses.

I thought that Li Huan's intention this time was only for Gu Huang and Cai Wen, and when he captured the officials of Gu Huang and Cai Wen, then Li Huan had to rely on him, the Chief Secretary and Right Chief, to stabilize the hearts of Fujian officials.

When Li Huan cleared out Gu Huang and Cai Wen's confidantes, he could follow behind and place his people in the important positions that were previously occupied by Gu Huang and Cai Wen's people.

You must know that in Fujian officialdom, apart from Cai Wen and Gu Huang, only Qian Zhong can stabilize the overall situation and prevent chaos in Fujian officialdom.

Just now, Li Huan secretly sneered at Li Huan for doing Qian Zhong a great favor. He never thought that Li Huan would act so recklessly, and even he, the right minister, was taken down in one fell swoop.

When the shackles were really put on him, Qian Zhong couldn't help shouting at Li Huan: "Li Huan, if you arrest me, whoever will stabilize the people in the officialdom for you, and who will handle so many civil affairs, you will not be afraid of what happens. Are you in turmoil?"

Li Huan looked at Qian Zhong disdainfully and said, "You really think that without you, the world is going to be in chaos?"

Said Li Huan waved his hand and said: "Take it down, put it in a prison, and wait for it!"

Huang Wenzheng's forehead was covered with cold sweat, and he was trembling. He really didn't expect that Li Huan's attack would be so ruthless, and the entire Fuzhou city officials were almost wiped out by him.

Originally there were dozens of officials, but now there are only a few dozen people left.

When Li Huan's eyes fell on Huang Wenzheng, Huang Wenzheng's body softened immediately, and he knelt down in front of Li Huan and said, "My lord, I'm really not Cai Wenzheng's party!"

Li Huan just snorted coldly and said: "Prefect Huang, Fuzhou Mansion cannot be messed up. Let me ask you, can you stabilize Fuzhou Mansion?"

Upon hearing Li Huan's words, Huang Wenzheng immediately assured Li Huan: "My lord, don't worry, I will do my best to stabilize the situation in Fuzhou for my lord."

Looking at the rest of the officials, the hearts of these officials suddenly hung up. Now they have seen that Li Huan is not as easy to talk to as they thought. If they really messed with this person, they might Like Qian Zhong, he will be put on a hat by Jin Yiwei and taken away.

Looking at these frightened officials, Li Huan said slowly: "Before the imperial court sends people down, you will assist Mr. Wang in handling local government affairs."

A dozen officials let out a sigh of relief when they heard the words, and nodded repeatedly.

Many people in Fuzhou City rushed over early to watch the excitement from a distance.

After most of the night's fermentation, the news that the imperial envoy's camp was attacked by thieves at night, and even burned to the ground by a fire, had spread all over the streets and alleys of Fuzhou City.

But these common people who came to watch the fun were amazed after seeing the green bamboo garden that had been burned to the ground, lamenting the cruelty of the thieves, and at the same time looking at the group of officials.

Everyone knew that such a big event happened in Fuzhou City, someone must be unlucky, but the subsequent development left countless people stunned.

The imperial envoy Li Huan, who was thought to have died in the fire, appeared safe and sound, and even ordered dozens of officials to be taken down.

Those were dozens of well-known, lucky and high-ranking officials, accounting for almost half of the high-ranking officials in Fujian's officialdom, and they were taken down by Jin Yiwei.

But anyone with a bit of knowledge was stunned by Li Huan's actions. You must know that during the Hongwu period, when Emperor Taizu was in power, there was such a sensation of arresting dozens of high-ranking and high-ranking officials at once. sex thing.

Many scholars in the crowd saw this scene in shock, and at the same time, their expressions changed drastically.

You must know that among the arrested officials were their relatives and teachers.

Just like there are several scholars in the crowd at the moment, the majority of these scholars is a scholar named Qian, and this person is Qian Yu, the nephew of Qian Zhong, the right minister.

There is an uncle who is in the high position of the chief secretary of a province, and it is conceivable that Qian Yu must be the object of fawning and friendship among these scholars.

Originally watching Cai Wen and Gu Huang's party officials being taken down by Jin Yiwei, Qian Yu couldn't help showing joy on his face.

He is not a fool, he naturally knows that his uncle is fighting with Cai Wen and Gu Huang, if he can take advantage of the opportunity of Cai Wen and Gu Huang's downfall to expand the power of their Qian family, then their Qian family will definitely be able to fight together. Soar into the sky.

But soon Qian Yu was dumbfounded, because he saw that his uncle was also taken away by Jin Yiwei.

Hearing Li Huan's hat on Qian Zhong, Qian Yu almost jumped out and cursed at Li Huan.

However, Qian Yu didn't jump out, but a scholar couldn't help but stood up and yelled at Li Huan: "Traitor, in order to create a big case, you actually directed such a big assassination scene by yourself to frame Li Huan. Mr. Cai, Mr. Gu and others, how wronged are your lords, you have deceived others, but you can never deceive me and other scholars..."

Qian Yu squinted his eyes when he saw the scholar, and he recognized at a glance that the other party was Zuo Ming, the chief secretary who had been reported by Fu An before.

After Zuo Ming jumped out, a few more scholars stood up and said that Li Huan turned black and white, wanted to arrest the officials of the imperial court, and wanted to bring about unjust prisons.

Unexpectedly, Zuo Ming and this scholar made such a yell, and many people who watched the excitement all around showed doubtful expressions. They originally applauded Li Huan for ordering many officials to be taken down, but now they all use A suspicious look looked at Li Huan.

"You guys are so courageous, who gave you the courage to slander the imperial envoys like this."

Li Huan just glanced at Chen Yao indifferently, Chen Yaodang even jumped out, and while berating, he waved the Xiuchun knife in his hand and smashed Zuo Ming's scholars, and at the same time ordered people to kill these scholars as well. Grabbed one by one.

Seeing this situation, Huang Wenzheng couldn't help sighing softly: "Master Li, these scholars may not know the truth..."

Obviously out of instinct of literati background, Huang Wenzheng felt a little sympathy subconsciously when he saw the actions of these scholars.

Li Huan glanced at Huang Wenzheng indifferently, and Huang Wenzheng was shocked by Li Huan's look at that time, and hurriedly said to Li Huan: "My lord, according to the officials, these scholars don't know right from wrong, but they sympathize with rebels and slander them at will. The imperial envoy has committed a heinous crime and should be severely punished."

Seeing that those scholars were also arrested, many literati in the crowd couldn't help but shut their mouths. Judging from the situation, this imperial envoy is not easy to provoke, and his mind is very small. Don't be overheard , fell to the same fate as Zuo Ming and others.

However, because Jin Yiwei arrested several scholars from Zuo Ming, the literati in the crowd already hated Li Huan and others as Jin Yiwei.

Under the escort of Jin Yiwei, dozens of officials in shackles staggered along the long street one by one, among them were several scholars from Zuo Ming.

On both sides of the long street, the people who had never seen such a scene were all dumbfounded, while Qian Zhong, Zuo Huai and others cursed at Li Huan.

When these people were imprisoned in the government office, the whole city of Fuzhou was in a state of excitement.

money mansion
Qian Yu rushed home all the way, and when he told his father Qian Yong that his uncle Qian Zhong was imprisoned by Li Huan on the charge of being a party member of Cai Wen, his body was full of muscles, but he was wearing a Confucian robe, which gave people peace. With a strange feeling, Qian Yong slapped the table case with his palm, directly smashing the solid wooden table case into pieces.
