Chapter 243 Li never avenges privately

Yu Fang frowned, seeing the reaction of the people in the mansion, she couldn't help frowning.

Although it was said that Yu Fang was in a bad mood when he was suddenly dismissed from office by the emperor, but it would be a lie to say how desperate he was.

In any case, Yu Fangna is also a high-ranking official of a minister, and even has the hope of becoming a court official, which shows how good his connections in the ruling and opposition parties are.

After all, without enough connections, Yu Fang would not be able to spy on the position of a court official, and she would not even dare to have the idea of ​​suppressing Li Huan.

Although it was said that suppressing Li Huan was the idea of ​​the entire civil official group, Li Huan was a fierce force, and I don't know how many people mentioned Li Huan's name to change their expressions.

There are not many officials who really dare to stand up against Li Huan, and Yu Fang is just one of them.

Don't look at Yu Fang and Chen Wei being deposed by the emperor in a hurry, but in Yu Fang's and Chen Wei's opinion, being deposed from office is just a low point in their lives.

In the officialdom, as long as the connections are still there, even if they have fallen into a trough for a while, there will always be times of recovery. This kind of thing has happened to countless officials for hundreds of years.

It is even possible that they were dismissed from office by the emperor because of their relationship with Li Huan. Although they lost their official positions, they were able to win an excellent reputation and their reputation among the civil official group increased greatly.

In the future, whenever there is an opportunity, as long as the civil service group exerts its strength, they can rise and fall at any time.

It was precisely because of such confidence in her heart that when Yu Fang returned to the mansion, seeing the reactions of many people in the mansion, she was naturally quite unhappy.

Especially Yu Fang's eldest brother, relying on Yu Fang's connections, has received many projects from the Ministry of War. Not to mention anything else, just say that the Ministry of War purchases military uniforms for the lieutenant soldiers. Don't underestimate this business. It seems small, but it is Oily and watery.

In addition, the Ministry of War has many lucrative projects. With Yu Fang's relationship, it is conceivable how much benefit Yu Fang's eldest brother can reap.

But now that Yu Fang is dismissed from office, it means that at least for a long time in the future, this benefit may no longer be reaped.

Yu Fang's elder brother was naturally as if he was mourning his concubine.

At this time, Yu Kui was complaining to Yu Fang: "I said not to target Li Huan, but you just didn't listen. This is good. The emperor is furious. You lost your official position. Who else would think highly of our Yu family?" .”

Not only was Yu Kui, Fang's elder brother, sitting there chattering endlessly, but he even looked at Yu Fang with a bit of resentment in his eyes.

The rest of the elders of the Yu family also looked depressed. Although they did not blame Yu Fang for offending Li Huan like Yu Kui, their words were somewhat unhappy.

If it was anyone else's words, Yu Fang would definitely walk away in a rage, but the ones in front of him are his relatives.

Although he was very unhappy in his heart, he could only explain to Yu Kui and the others: "Brother, listen to my explanation."

Looking at Yu Kui and the others, Yu Fang said slowly: "Brother, don't worry, the emperor is nothing more than my official position. I have so many former students and old officials, so I have made friends. Are you afraid that there will be no chance of recovery?"

Hearing what Yu Fang said, many people present showed a bit of relief on their faces. If it is true what Yu Fang said, then the consequences of Yu Fang's dismissal this time are not so terrible.

What they were afraid of was that Yu Fang would not have the chance to be rehabilitated in the future. Seeing Yu Fang's self-confidence now, the heart that was hanging in the air was relieved a little.

Suddenly, a person said quietly: "If that's the case, then it would be great, but don't forget, it's Li Huan who offended this time."

Everyone was stunned, and subconsciously looked at the person who spoke, Yu Kui even said: "Lao Liu, what do you mean?"

Yu Zheng said with a serious expression on his face: "Everyone, don't forget what name Li Huan has in Beijing."

As he spoke, Yu Zheng slowly said: "A murderous maniac, revenge will not be overnight, and revenge will be revenged, narrow-minded."

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay when they heard the words, how could they not know about Li Huan's title, they just didn't think of it for a while.

However, after Yu Zheng spoke, everyone couldn't help feeling worried.

Yu Zheng saw everyone's reactions in his eyes and said: "Let's talk about it, if Li Huan bears a grudge, will he let our Yu family go? Don't forget what happened to Xie Ge's hometown, and what happened to Li Huan To deal with the Xie family..."

Thinking of Xie Qian's family being ransacked and exterminated by Li Huan, Yu Kui frowned and said, "Xie Qian was involved in a major treason case. Our Yu family did not conspire against us. What can Li Huan do to our Yu family..."

Yu Kui's words immediately won the approval of many fearful people, and many people nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes, our Yu family did not rebel, can he, Li Huan, label us?"

Just when the members of Yu family were feeling uneasy, hundreds of Jinyiwei had assembled in front of the Jinyiwei yamen.

Since Li Huan went to Shaanxi, the Jinyiwei yamen suddenly became a lot more low-key, and it was really rare to gather hundreds of Jinyiwei at one time like this.

Originally, many people were secretly paying attention to the movements of the Jinyiwei Yamen. After all, when Li Huan returned to the capital, no one knew if Li Huan would cause any trouble.

Now that Jin Yiwei suddenly gathered so many people, many people who were staring at Jin Yiwei's yamen immediately sent someone to send the news back to the people behind them.

When they saw Li Huan in the flying fish suit turned on his horse, and then galloped away surrounded by a group of guards who looked like wolves and tigers, many people thumped in their hearts and secretly thought something was wrong.

The last time Li Huan brought so many Jinyiwei out, it was to ransack the house, but this time Li Huan also brought so many people, could someone be unlucky again?
Li Huan headed straight to the long street where Yu's house was located, with the hundred brocade clothes guards on his head, naturally attracting the attention of many common people along the way.

In the past, if Jin Yiwei galloped along the long street, many people would panic and run away, secretly guessing what happened.

But now, the people in the capital seem to have gotten used to the Jinyiwei Zongma Long Street, especially when they saw that Li Huan was leading the team, many people even showed anticipation on their faces.

Li Huan went out in person, something must have happened, but I don't know which high-ranking official will be the unlucky one this time.

Above the restaurant, several officials who had just got off work from the yamen were gathering together, talking about the news that had spread from the palace not long ago.

So many people, Yu Fang and Chen Wei, were dismissed by the emperor in a fit of anger, involving the Ministry of War and the Governor's Mansion of the Right Army. Such a big event can be regarded as a sensational event in the capital, and naturally it was the first time Then it spread throughout the yamen of various ministries.

These few officials were officials from several yamen, and they were discussing with great interest the sensational news about the dismissal of Yu Fang, Chen Wei and others.

One person laughed lightly and said, "Speaking of which, Master Yu Fangyu and the others had already cornered Li Huan this time, but no one expected that Li Huan had hidden such a killer trick that Master Yu Fang and the others had already cornered Li Huan. It's a pity...it's a pity that the calculation failed."

"Yeah, who would have thought that Li Huan would have captured so many leaders in the pot alive. If there were no such leaders, the big guys would join hands to play, and Li Huan could even be convicted of falsely reporting military achievements."

A group of officials discussed a lot, and it can be seen that almost [-]% of these officials were lamenting that they could not erase Li Huan's credit this time, and they even got along with people like Yu Fang and Chen Wei.

While speaking, there was a rumbling sound, which naturally alarmed the people gathered in the restaurant.

When several officials heard the movement, they didn't know why, and felt a little uneasy in their hearts for no reason.

Someone was sitting by the window, looking up and looking outside, the person couldn't help exclaiming: "God, Li Huan, it's actually Li Huan and Jin Yiwei's people..."

Before the man let out an exclamation, there was a crash, and almost everyone stood up in unison, their faces full of horror, they rushed to the window and looked out at the long street.

These people could clearly see that not far away, Li Huan, who was wearing a flying fish suit, was leading a team of brocade guards galloping forward, extremely fast, reckless and ostentatious.

tread, tread

Li Huan led people rushing past under the restaurant, and gradually disappeared.

Someone swallowed with a grunt, and said with a bit of panic on his face: "Everyone, what is this killing god trying to do? The scene of Jinyi Weiti riding around reappears. This is not a good omen."

Someone slowly said: "Li Huan's posture is not aimed at Yu Fang, Chen Wei and the others."

Immediately, all the people looked at this person in unison, and all of them also showed stunned expressions on their faces.

Apart from Li Huan's revenge on Yu Fang, Chen Wei and the others, to be honest, they really couldn't think of any other possibility at the moment.

A young official saw everyone's reaction in his eyes, and tremblingly said: "No...it's not possible, even if Li Huan wants to take revenge on the adults and the others, at least he will have to wait for a while..."

When everyone heard this, they looked at this official who had recently come to Beijing from the local area with strange expressions.

That's Li Huan, who claims to take revenge overnight, and is narrow-minded. Li Huan only takes revenge from morning to night, and there is no such thing as overnight.

Now think about it, if Li Huan hadn't rushed to Yu's house, what would they have dared to bet on.

Someone sighed faintly: "The Yu family and the Chen family are finished..."

Yu Fu
As the Minister of the Ministry of War, he is also one of the top high-ranking officials among the Chinese and Chinese military officials, so the position of Yufu is naturally not bad.

At this time, the servants of the Yu Mansion were standing guard at the entrance of their own mansion, with a look of anxiety on their faces. After all, the news of Yu Fang's dismissal spread, not only the master of the Yu Mansion was flustered, but their servants were also flustered. .

Suddenly, there was a sound of horseshoes, and several servants at the door subconsciously followed the prestige.

When they saw that group of people, someone couldn't help but change their face and exclaimed: "Jin Yiwei... Jin Yiwei is here."

Those who haven't waited until Li Huan and the others were stationed in the horses, and some family members rushed into the mansion, running wildly and shouting: "Master, something is wrong, Jinyiwei... Jinyiwei's people are here!"

Wherever he passed, the servant's shouts were like thunder, which only changed the expressions of many people in Yufu.

In the past few years, every time Jin Yiwei ransacked the house in the capital, there was a lot of commotion. Even the servants of the various mansions knew that once the Jin Yiwei brigade blocked the door, nine out of ten they ran to search the house of.

Their master had offended Li Huan not long ago, so that he was dismissed from his official position. Many people were afraid that they would be retaliated by Li Huan.

As it turned out, half a day had passed before Jin Yiwei's people came to kill him.

In the hall of the Yu mansion, everyone in the Yu family was discussing matters, when they suddenly heard shouts from the courtyard.

With a thud, the teacup that Yu Kui had just picked up fell to the ground and shattered into pieces on the spot.

The elders of the Yu family couldn't stand the excitement of the news for a while because they were too old, so they stared directly and slumped on their seats.

Even though she was sitting there all the time, Yu Fang, who looked quite confident, couldn't help standing up suddenly, her complexion changed drastically, and she couldn't help but exclaimed: "How is this possible, how dare he, Li Huan, do this..."

The servant rushed into the hall, and said with a look of panic: "Master, it's not good, Li Huan and Jin Yiwei blocked the gate..."

If there were still people who held such hope and hope just now, they all murmured with despair on their faces: "It's over, the Yu family is completely over."

They knew what would happen to their Yu family once they offended Li Huan and were led by Li Huan to block the door.

Don't say that their Yu family itself is not clean. Relying on Yu Fang's power these years, they have done many shady deeds, and even killed more than one or two people.

It may be impossible for the people of Jin Yiwei to have all the criminal evidence of their Yu family, but if Jin Yiwei did not have some of their criminal evidence, they themselves would not believe it.

In this case, as long as Li Huan wanted to target them, Yu Jia, there were plenty of ways to crucify them.

There was a loud commotion, and everyone in the Yu family, who were already terrified, looked towards the courtyard. After a glance, they saw a group of Jinyi guards approaching fiercely.

The person in the lead was no stranger to everyone, and it was Li Huan, the commanding officer of Jin Yiwei who was notoriously vicious.

Li Huanlong, who was dressed in a flying fish suit, came at the pace of a tiger. It can be said that he is mighty and domineering, and people can't help but be shocked.

"Li Huan!"

Yu Fang resisted the fear and uneasiness in her heart, and looked at Li Huan who was approaching.

Li Huan raised his head, his eyes fell on Fang, he looked Fang up and down, and suddenly he said with a smile on his face, "Master Yu, we meet again."

Seeing Li Huan's smile, Yu Fang felt an inexplicable thump in her heart, and resisted her fear and said to Li Huan, "Li Huan, you... what are you doing?"

Li Huan smiled and said: "It's nothing, it's just that something happened to your Yu's family! Please, Mr. Yu, please accompany Li to Jinyiwei Imperial Prison."

puff

Immediately, several elders of the Yu family fell to the ground, their faces pale.

Li Huan waved his hand and said: "Do it, all the core members of the Yu family will be taken down, and no one is allowed to escape."

A group of Jin Yiwei responded with great excitement, and rushed forward directly, and even many Jin Yiwei rushed to all parts of the mansion, arresting everyone at home one by one.

Yu Fang pointed at Li Huan, and said with anger on her face, "Li Huan, you...you are really deceiving people..."

Li Huan took a step forward, looked at Yu Fang at a close distance, and said with a chuckle: "What are you talking about, Mr. Li, you don't mean to frame Mr. Li, you should know that Mr. Li is the most impartial, never I will avenge my personal revenge publicly, and it's not because you, Mr. Yu, took revenge against Mr. Li..."

Standing behind Li Huan, Chen Yao's face was full of sternness. Hearing Li Huan's words, Chen Yao nodded again and again. He can assure that Li Huan is definitely not revenge.

Seeing Li Huan's serious look, Yu Fang couldn't help laughing angrily: "Okay, what a selfless person, but Yu Mou underestimated you, Mr. Li."

Li Huan said indifferently: "Master Yu, please, tell me honestly how much money you have embezzled from the court and how many crimes you have committed over the years..."

It was only an instant of incense, and Jin Yiwei, who had already been tempered, neatly arrested all the people in Yu's mansion, and sealed off the Yu family's mansion.

When they were put in shackles and bound into a string of members of the Yu family and were escorted by Jin Yiwei's people to the direction of Jin Yiwei's prison, Li Huan had already taken a part of Jin Yiwei to the Chen family.

Many people who saw this scene pointed excitedly at the members of the Yu family who were put in shackles. Seeing these high-ranking officials being unlucky, these people were not to mention how excited they were.

Among the crowd, there were even people who had been persecuted by the Guo family and couldn't help crying and cheering excitedly.

The reaction of the Chen family was no different from that of Yu's family. When they learned that Chen Wei had been dismissed from office, everyone in the Chen family felt panic.

In just half a day, Li Huan brought Jin Yiwei people to visit several officials who were dismissed by the emperor this time because they rejected Li Huan's request for meritorious service.

The core members of several families were taken away by Jin Yiwei, and the mansion was sealed off by Jin Yiwei.

All of a sudden, the news spread to every corner of the capital at an extremely fast speed as if it had grown wings.

British government
In a quiet and elegant courtyard

A slender figure with long hair like a waterfall, Zhang Jin dressed in white was sitting cross-legged on the futon, meditating silently.

At first glance, Zhang Geun's natural detachment and orchid temperament make her look like a fairy in exile.

"Girl, girl, uncle is going crazy again!"

A clear and pleasant voice came, followed by the sound of hurried footsteps approaching.

When Zhang Jin, who was meditating cross-legged in the yard, heard the movement, she opened her slightly closed eyes, and a look of surprise flashed in her bright eyes.

The maid who was close to her came running over panting, her delicate pretty face was blushing, she stood still panting, and said to Zhang Jin, "Girl, girl, my uncle, he is so powerful."

Looking at the maid's eyes shining, Zhang Jin couldn't help saying: "Speak up, what happened?"

It was related to Li Huan, even with Zhang Jin's cold temperament, he couldn't help being a little curious, especially seeing the maid's reaction, Zhang Jin was quite curious.

The maid hurriedly said: "Girl, you don't know, I heard that today the Son of Heaven summoned all the officials from the Ministry of War and the Governor's Mansion of the Right Army to ask about how my uncle asked for credit for the soldiers at the frontier..."

As the maid told the news she had heard vividly, Zhang Jin finally understood what was going on.

The little maid said excitedly: "Grandpa is really amazing. After he came back, he led people to arrest Yu Fang, Chen Wei and others. It's really just revenge..."

Zhang Jin coughed lightly, glared at the little maid and said, "Ru Dong, speak carefully!"

Maid Rudong's expression changed slightly when she heard the words, "Miss taught me that Rudong will never dare again."

Zhang Jin waved his hand and said, "Go down."

In the imperial city
In the imperial garden
Zhu Houzhao, who was angered by Yu Fang, Chen Wei and other officials of the Ministry of War and the Governor's Mansion of the Right Army, was relaxing in the imperial garden at the moment.

All of a sudden, a figure came in a hurry.

When seeing the person coming, Zhu Houzhao couldn't help but his eyes lit up.

The person who came was Ma Yongcheng, the factory supervisor in charge of the East Factory.

"The old slave has seen His Majesty."

Zhu Houzhao waved his hand and said: "Get up without ceremony, come to see me now, is there something wrong?"

Ma Yongcheng smiled a little and said: "Your Majesty has learned a lot, and there is really something to do."

Zhu Houzhao frowned, walked forward with his hands behind his back, and said, "Tell me, what's the matter?"

Ma Yongcheng bowed and took a step behind Zhu Houzhao and said with a smile: "Brother Li Huan not long ago brought Yu Fang, Chen Wei and the others into the Imperial Prison..."

Zhu Houzhao, who was walking forward, suddenly stopped when he heard the words, turned around, his face was full of astonishment, and said: "You said that Li Qing, Yufang and Chen Wei were arrested?"

Ma Yongcheng nodded and said: "How dare this old slave deceive His Majesty with such things."

There was still a bit of stunned look on Zhu Houzhao's face, but soon Zhu Houzhao couldn't help laughing, and the laughter became louder and louder, so that the little servants in the distance looked at the laughing man in astonishment. Zhu Houzhao.

After a while, Zhu Houzhao just stopped laughing, continued to walk forward, and then said with a smile: "If I remember correctly, Li Qing is well-known in the market, it seems to be some kind of murderous maniac, who claims to take revenge overnight , you will be punished..."

Ma Yongcheng, who was following Zhu Houzhao, could not see that Zhu Houzhao was in a good mood at the moment. Hearing this, he smiled and said, "Your Majesty is right, Brother Li really has such titles."

Zhu Houzhao chuckled and said: "What kind of murderous maniac, this is clearly trying to discredit Li Qing, but anyone killed by Li Qing is a person who has committed many crimes and deserves to be killed."

Zhu Houzhao said again: "However, if you want to say that Li Qing's revenge will not be overnight, to be honest, this really didn't wrong Li Qing. Qing Na really will never keep grudges overnight, if you say revenge, you will get revenge..."

Speaking of this, even Zhu Houzhao couldn't help but smiled and shook his head and said: "Li Qing really loves to hold grudges, and the veritable revenge doesn't last overnight. Yu Fang and Chen Wei must have something in the hands of Jin Yiwei, otherwise with Li Qing's temper, They will definitely not arrest people with such a big fanfare.”

Anyway, Zhu Houzhao knew Li Huan's temperament quite well after being a monarch and minister for several years.

At this moment Ma Yongcheng nodded and said: "Yu Fang and Chen Wei's families all have ways of killing them, Brother Li Huan really didn't wrong them."

On the 26th of the twelfth lunar month in the third year of Zhengde in the Ming Dynasty, this day was the day before the government offices of various ministries in the Ming Dynasty were about to close for a rest.

On this day, two sensational news spread throughout the capital
One is that Li Huan tried clearly the crimes committed by more than a dozen officials from the Ministry of War and the Governor's Mansion of the Right Army, including Yu Fang and Chen Wei, in just a few days, and he also played the case as quickly as possible. Please the emperor, Fang, Chen Wei and other officials who confessed to their crimes should be ransacked and exterminated.

The news was of course sensational. No one expected that in just a few days, a dozen or so high-ranking officials and nobles would fall into the quagmire and end up in the end of ransacking their homes and exterminating their families.

In particular, the process of arrest, interrogation, and conviction is unbelievably fast. You must know that under normal circumstances, such a case is just a process, and it would be strange if it didn't take a year or so.

However, under Li Huan's insistence, the cases of Yu Fang, Chen Wei and others were fully understood before the year before, and they only had to wait for the execution in the spring of the next year.

In addition to this incident, there is another incident that also caused a sensation in the entire capital.

And this matter is also related to Li Huan. Also on the 26th of the twelfth lunar month, two teams set off from Li's Mansion in Maoyan Lane, and went to the British Mansion and the Chengguo Mansion respectively.

In this era, there are three letters and six rituals for a big family to get married. The three letters are the letter of engagement, the letter of ceremony, and the letter of welcoming the relatives. Three books and six rituals.

Therefore, after three books, six ceremonies, and eight sedan chairs to welcome the wife back home, that is the real married wife. Than.

The emperor gifted marriage to Li Huan, the two daughters of Zhang Jin from the British government and Zhu Lin from the Chengguo government. Many people secretly speculated when the three families would get married.

Unexpectedly, the speed of the Li family was so fast. They completed more than half of the three books and six ceremonies in one day, and officially set the wedding date. The ninth day of the first lunar month.

After the annual New Year's Eve, on the fourth day of the first lunar month, the yamen of various ministries of the imperial court officially opened their offices.

In the imperial city, night was shrouded, and the emperor Zhu Houzhao was currently in the Queen Xia's Kunning Palace.

The Kunning Palace is as warm as spring, and between the beds, the brocade quilt cannot cover Empress Xia's exquisite figure, her hair is disheveled, and the flushed Empress Xia is leaning against Zhu Houzhao's arms panting, and after a while she suddenly said: "Your Majesty, my concubine heard that Li Huan was about to get married, so I thought about whether to give Li Huan some rewards! What kind of rewards should be given more suitable!"
