The identity of the person who opened the mouth is naturally not ordinary. Compared with the Chen and Xu clans, the Zhao clan is not much different. There is even a member of the Zhao clan who has achieved the position of a servant.

Even if that servant is only the Ministry of Rites with little authority among the six departments, but no matter what, it is still a police officer at the level of a servant.

If there is an opportunity in the future, it may not be impossible to become an important minister in the center of the court.

At this time, when Zhao Anmin opened his mouth, many people's eyes lit up.

When the crowd heard the news that Chen Wenliang, the court leader representing their salt merchant group, had been taken down by Li Huan, their first reaction was how to deal with the attack from Li Huan.

After all, in their subconscious, Chen Wenliang was one with their salt merchant group, and when Li Huan dealt with Chen Wenliang, he was dealing with them.

But now Zhao Anmin's words brought everyone back to their senses. It seemed that the matter was not as complicated as they imagined.

If we look at the relationship between Chen Wenliang and the salt merchant group aside, the reason why Li Huan took action against Chen Wenliang at the Great Court Meeting was, in the final analysis, because Chen Wenliang took the initiative to impeach Li Huan.

In other words, Li Huan didn't take the initiative to deal with Chen Wenliang. Does that mean that Li Huan didn't intend to take action against their interest group?

Although Chen Wenliang is very important, it also depends on the situation. If the entire salt merchant group has to pay a heavy price because of Chen Wenliang, then their custodian will give Chen Wenliang to him immediately without hesitation. give up.

While the crowd seemed to have discovered another world, Chen Wenbang's complexion changed slightly.

Chen Wenbang, who saw the reaction of the crowd, couldn't help but sigh in his heart. He was worried about this before, and that's why he exaggerated the tense atmosphere when he summoned the crowd.

It's just that someone came to their senses and realized that Chen Wenliang's imprisonment had nothing to do with the salt merchant group being targeted by Li Huan.

Just because Chen Wenliang was targeted by Li Huan did not mean that the salt merchant group was targeted by Li Huan.

If it is true that Li Huan is eyeing the salt merchant group, then Chen Wenbang can guarantee that all the people present will definitely work together with their Chen family to find a way to deal with Li Huan.

But now Chen Wenbang did not fulfill this extravagant hope.

Just as Chen Wenbang expected, after Zhao Anmin's voice fell, Xu Wenchang couldn't help but his eyes lit up and laughed loudly: "Yes, are we thinking too much? Li Huan didn't say that he would deal with us man."

Before Xu Wenchang finished speaking, Chen Wenbang snorted coldly and said to Xu Wenchang: "Xu Wenchang, what do you mean by that? Could it be that we have to give up Mr. Chen? Don't forget, if there is no Mr. Chen, the two of us It is absolutely impossible for the Huai salt merchants to have the grand occasion they have today."

Chen Wenliang's help to the Lianghuai salt merchants is naturally very great, otherwise, it is impossible for the Chen family to become one of the top families among the Lianghuai salt merchants in a short period of time.

At this time, Chen Wenbang revealed Chen Wenliang's contribution to the Lianghuai Salt Merchant Group, Xu Wenchang, Zhao Anmin and others were silent for a while.

Even though they were merchants who put their interests first, they would still have some face in front of so many people. They couldn't just deny Chen Wenliang's help to Lianghuai salt merchants over the years.

Xu Wenchang glanced at him, and winked at a person next to him.

Xu and Chen didn't deal with each other, and naturally various large and small hilltop forces formed within the Lianghuai salt merchants.

There are also many large and small salt merchants surrounding the early Xu family and the Chen family.

At this moment, a salt merchant coughed lightly and said, "You guys, Mr. Lu, have something to say and don't know whether to say it or not!"

Zhao Anmin looked at Xu Wenchang, then at Chen Wenbang, nodded slightly and said, "Mr. Lu might as well just say it."

Lu Qingsheng looked upright and said: "Everyone, if Mr. Lu admits that without Mr. Chen, we may not have the opportunity to sit here and speak freely. No one will forget Mr. Chen's great contribution to our Lianghuai salt merchants." .”

Everyone in the room nodded their heads when they heard the words, obviously appreciating Chen Wenliang's contribution incomparably. (This chapter is not finished!)
Chapter 320 Five against Jin Yiwei
However, Lu Qingsheng changed his voice, looked at Chen Wenbang and said, "But now Mr. Chen has offended Li Huan, the favorite minister of today. If the interests of so many of us are endangered because of Mr. Chen, I will I think even Mr. Chen would not be willing.

Chen Wenbang got up suddenly, stared at Lu Qingsheng with a cold face, and said, "Fuck your mother, Lu Qingsheng, what do you mean by that?"

Although he was pointed at by Chen Wenbang and yelled at, Lu Qingsheng seemed very calm. Even if he was pointed at and yelled at, he didn't show any sign of anger. It doesn't matter if it's unrighteous, Lu still said the same thing, we must not offend Li Huan, the emperor's favorite minister, because of Mr. Chen's affairs. Mr. Chen is Mr. Chen, and our Lianghuai salt merchants are Lianghuai salt business, and cannot be confused with each other.”

Xu Wenchang laughed lightly, clapped his hands and praised: "That's right, the facts are true. Mr. Chen has done something to us, but now that he has provoked Li Huan, it's not easy to implicate us."

Even though Chen Wenbang had been mentally prepared for a long time, he still gritted his teeth in anger at the reaction of Xu Wenchang, Lu Qingsheng and others.

It's just that no matter how annoyed Chen Wenbang was in his heart, looking at the expressions and reactions of the crowd, Chen Wenbang also knew that the matter had come to an end, and it was impossible for him to encourage them and use their strength to find a way to rescue Chen Wenliang.

Seeing Chen Wenbang leave in a huff, Xu Wenchang stroked his beard and chuckled, "You guys might as well tell me how we can make friends with this emperor's favorite minister. If we can get his protection, I believe that the two of us will be friends." The power of Huai salt merchants will usher in a rapid expansion, and a lot of money will come in like mountains and rivers."

After hearing the words, Lu Qingsheng said without hesitation: "Do you still have to think of a way? If you want me to say it, just use the most direct and effective way."

"Giving money, I don't believe that if millions of taels of silver are thrown down, Li Huan can't be tempted."

Lu Qingsheng's words echoed throughout the living room.

Millions of taels of silver were given away as soon as they were offered, that is to say, all the people present were the most wealthy families in the Ming Dynasty. If other people heard this, they would probably not believe what they heard with their own ears.

But all the people present looked extremely calm, as if giving away millions of taels of silver was a very normal and ordinary thing for them.

Xu Wenchang nodded slightly and said, "Then give money. Lu Qingsheng is right. The method of giving money can be said to be the simplest, most effective and direct."

Xu Wenchang hesitated for a while and said: "The so-called young Mu Ai, Li Huan was favored by the emperor when he was less than [-] years old. Once he gained power, it seems that this kind of people can confuse them not only with money, but also with beauty. mind."

Hearing Xu Wenchang's words, Zhao Anmin, who was sitting beside him, immediately said excitedly: "In this case, we will carefully select a few peerless beauties, and there may not be others, but in the land of the south of the Yangtze River, the mere Could it be said that several beauties who are beautiful and beautiful can't be selected?"

Xu Wenchang said with a smile on his face: "I don't believe that Li Huan can handle money and beauty!"

Everyone had a relaxed look on their faces when they heard the words.

They win over officials above the court, relying on money and beauty to clear the way, it can be said that they are always beneficial, and almost no official can remain indifferent to the money and beauties they send.

That is to say, the second day after Chen Wenliang, the censor of Zuodu, was sent to prison, a team of Jinyi Wei Tiqi appeared in Chen's residence like menacing gods.

As a member of the court, Chen Wenliang's mansion is located in the place where the rich and powerful gather in the capital. It covers a quite large area, but there are not many people who can compare with it.

At any rate, the Chen family is the best among the Lianghuai salt merchants. With the huge profits of the Lianghuai salt industry in their hands, the most important thing they need is money.

In addition, Chen Wenliang's status can be described as noble, he wants money, power and power, which is naturally reflected in the mansion he lives in.

It's just that these things became a thing of the past when Chen Wenliang was sent to prison.

Because Chen Wenliang's case was personally supervised by Jin Yiwei, when Chen Wenliang was sent to prison, Jin Yiwei immediately sent people to surround Chen's residence.

This (this chapter is not finished!)
Chapter 320 Five against Jin Yiwei
Surrounded by a group of royal guards, it was none other than Li Huan who had just returned to Beijing and appeared in front of the Chen residence.

Ordinarily, with Li Huan's current status, even if he wanted to investigate Chen Wenliang, a court official, Li Huan would not need to do it himself.

But Li Huan got rid of Ruanrou Township early, and personally led the troops of the Jinyiwei to the Chen Mansion, and personally presided over the search of the Chen Mansion.

Lin Pingzhi, who was dressed as an official of thousands of households, said to Li Huan excitedly and expectantly: "My lord, everyone in the Chen family is here, and no one has escaped!"

Li Huan nodded slightly, and said calmly, "Go and search for me. We must search for evidence of Chen Wenliang's embezzlement and bribery."

Following Li Huan's order, a group of Jin Yiwei rushed into the huge Chen residence like wolves and tigers.

Originally, Jin Yiwei blocked the gate and completely sealed off the members of the Chen family in the mansion. Many people didn't even know what happened.

Chen Wenliang's eldest son, Chen Zhe has the identity of Juren, although he can't tell what happened, but he is just a little uneasy in his heart.

From Chen Zhe's point of view, with their Chen family's influence, as long as they didn't commit a serious crime of rebellion, even the emperor would give his father some favor.

After all, Chen Wenliang is a dignitary in the imperial court, needless to say about his personal connections.

Because of such confidence, even in the face of Jinyiwei blocking the door, Chen Zhe summoned the young and strong servants in the mansion to block the door, pretending that no one was allowed to enter the Chen Mansion.

When Li Huan ordered Jin Yiwei to search Chen's residence, surrounded by his servants, Chen Zhe shouted at Li Huan from a distance: "I don't know how to call this lord, my Chen family has been loyal for generations, and my father is a veteran of several dynasties. You Do you have His Majesty's will to trespass on my Chen family like this?"

Li Huan looked at Chen Zhe in surprise, apparently he did not expect that someone from the Chen family would dare to stop Jin Yiwei from handling the case.

It can only be said that the Chen family was originally from a salt merchant. As a salt merchant family that rose from the bottom, bloody fights were inevitable. All of them have good ability and courage.

Just like Chen Zhe, although he said that he was just a recruiter, he was in charge of the affairs of Chen Wenliang's branch. He dare not say that his hands were covered with blood, but it was not unusual for him to have a few lives under his command.

If there is no such experience, Chen Zheruo is just a scholar. Facing the Jin Yiwei who blocked the door, let alone reasoning with him, I am afraid that he would have been shocked at that time.

While stopping Li Huan, Chen Zhe was also looking at Li Huan, secretly guessing Li Huan's identity.

Looking at Li Huan, Chen Zhe suddenly felt that Li Huan seemed to be so familiar. With a jolt, a name appeared in Chen Zhe's mind.

"Li Lihuan is you!"

Chen Zhe's face was full of shock and disbelief.

As the eldest son of Chen Wenliang, Chen Zhe knew almost everything about the Chen family, big and small, and Chen Zhe was naturally very clear about his father's joint impeachment of Li Huan.

But in Chen Zhe's impression, Li Huan should be far away in Yan'an mansion at this moment, why did he suddenly appear in the capital, and even blocked the gate of their mansion with Jin Yiwei.

An inexplicable feeling arose in his heart, and Chen Zhe couldn't help but think of the fact that his father went to attend the Great Court Meeting yesterday and didn't return all night.

Now that Li Huan suddenly appeared in the capital again, Chen Zhe was not stupid, all these things were connected, and Chen Zhe immediately realized something.

Seeing Chen Zhe's complexion fluctuate, even if Li Huan didn't try to guess, he could more or less guess what Chen Zhe was thinking.

He glanced at Chen Zhe lightly, ignoring the other party's intentions at all, and at the same time, Lin Pingzhi frowned as he looked at Chen Zhe and the others standing in front of him, and said coldly: "Jin Yiwei investigates the case, you still have to wait." If you don't get out of the way quickly, you want to die?"

While speaking, Lin Pingzhi unsheathed the Xiuchun knife, and all the Jinyi guards also unsheathed their long knives, looking at Chen Zhe and others who were blocking the door with a fierce expression.

At the same time, although the servants of the Chen family surrounded Chen Zhe showed a bit of panic, none of them retreated. Instead, they turned their attention to Chen Zhe.
Chapter 320 Five against Jin Yiwei
Wait for Chen Zhe to order.

Chen Zhe was a little distracted at this time, a strong man whispered to Chen Zhe: "My lord, what should I do?"

At this time, Chen Zhe had already had a bad feeling, and reason told him that he must not let Jinyiwei's people break into the mansion. If Jinyiwei's people were to search the mansion, Chen Zhe couldn't help beating up when he thought of some things stored in their mansion. It's a shock, once those things are exposed, their Chen family will really be over.
