Chapter 338 The sky hasn't fallen yet! [one more]

The officer's words were too shocking, they couldn't help but be shocked by it.

If it was said that the Jin Yiwei had surrounded the Chen residence to arrest people, then they would not have been so surprised, even though Chen Wenliang, who was the censor of the left capital, had such a big backer behind the Chen family.

But no matter how noble Chen Wenliang is, there are too many dignitaries in the court compared to his status. Even Xie Qian, who is the elder of the pavilion, will have a day of ransacking his family and exterminating his family, so it is said that the Chen family will be killed by Jin Yiwei one day It's not uncommon to be watched.

The officials present here know better than anyone else that they occupy the Yangzhou government and control the Lianghuai salt industry. With the backing collapsed, the fate of the Chen family will definitely not be any better.

The fact is also the same. Not long ago, Yangzhou magistrate Yamen learned that a group of Jinyi guards had come to Beijing, and was originally curious about why these Jinyi guards came to Yangzhou City.

But when Jin Yiwei's people surrounded Chen's house, the officials in the magistrate's yamen, who had the most sensitive sense of officialdom, realized that the good times of Chen's family might be coming to an end.

It's just that what they didn't expect was that the Chen family's reaction would be so unbelievable in the face of Jin Yiwei who came to pick him up.

Fighting against Jin Yiwei and even leading his servants to fight against Jin Yiwei, this is Chi Guoguo's rebellious move.

At this moment, even Xu Lin, the magistrate of Yangzhou, who has been keeping calm all the time, couldn't help shaking his hands, spilling a few drops of tea from the teacup in his hand, staring sharply at the guard and said in a deep voice: "Are you sure you read correctly?" , People from the Chen family really fought with people from Jinyiwei?"

The guard trembled with a bitter face and said: "My lord, the people of the Chen family killed a lot of Jin Yiwei. This incident was not only seen by a small person, besides, such a big event, even if it is a small one, you can see it." Even if you have the guts, you dare not deceive your lords."

Xu Lin's face was gloomy like water, his eyes swept over Chen Rui who was sitting on the ground, and immediately shouted in a deep voice, "Come on, take Chen Rui down for me."

The members of the Chen family dared to kill even Jin Yiwei, this is simply crazy, all fools know that the Chen family is doomed, even the king of heaven, I can't save the Chen family.

At this time, anyone who is smarter will immediately choose to separate from the Chen family.

As Xu Lin's voice fell, two guards walked in outside the door, and the guards stepped forward and arrested Chen Rui.

Chen Rui came to his senses at this time, and while struggling violently, he shouted at Xu Lin and the others: "Xu Lin, our Chen family is finished, and you will not get better..."

After Chen Rui's words fell, all the officials in the hall changed expression.

Over the years, they have gained a lot of benefits from the Chen family. Just like what Chen Rui said, if the members of the Chen family spread all these things out, then they will most likely fall. A disgraceful fate.

At this moment, a burly official suddenly got up and bowed to Xu Lin, saying: "My lord, today the magistrate Chen Rui heard that the clansmen had rebelled, and he was worried, and then committed suicide in fear of crime, and died by hanging..."

The person who spoke was Chen Rui's immediate superior, the Yangzhou government judged Xu Wei, and Xu Wei was the representative figure of the Yangzhou Xu family in the Yangzhou government official circles, and at this moment, he said that he wanted to put Chen Rui to death.

Chen Rui's expression changed drastically when he heard the words, and he looked at Xu Wei in horror, although he is Xu Wei's subordinate, but because the Chen family's power is stronger than Xu's, so in the yamen, Chen Rui and Xu Wei have always been brothers commensurate.

But what Chen Rui didn't expect was that Xu Wei wanted to kill him as soon as he opened his mouth.

Chen Rui, who was full of disbelief, stared at Xu Wei fiercely and said angrily: "Xu Wei, you are so vicious..."

Xu Wei snorted coldly, and said to Chen Rui with cold eyes like poisonous snakes: "If you want to blame, you can only blame the Chen family for being too unruly. As the saying goes, one person does things and one person is in charge. Your Chen family was robbed, and you even tried to drag everyone into the water. Don't blame me for being cruel."

As soon as the words fell, Xu Wei cupped his hands at the magistrate Xu Lin and said: "Your Excellency has clearly observed that all officials of the Chen family committed suicide in fear of crime."

At the same time, all the officials in the hall looked at each other, and they all stood up and said to Xu Lin, "Your Excellency, be careful!"

Xu Lin stroked his beard, glanced over the officials, nodded slightly, and sighed softly: "It's a pity that the officials from the Chen family committed suicide after hearing the news!"

With Xu Lin's final decision, all the officials in the hall secretly breathed a sigh of relief, with a bit of relief on their faces.

There are as many as a dozen officials of the Chen family in the Yangzhou government office. Because these people are in the officialdom, they have very close contacts with them. Many of their shady contacts with the Chen family are through these people. Speaking of being able to eradicate these people, I dare not say that they can get rid of their relationship with the Chen family, at least they can feel more at ease.

Xu Lin's eyes fell on Xu Wei and said: "Master Xu, you will personally supervise this matter, and no one will be left behind."

Xu Wei said in a deep voice, "Your officer will do it now."

While speaking, Xu Lin yelled at the two guards who were supporting Chen Rui: "What are you doing in a daze, if you don't take Chen Rui down, you can send him on the road."

Chen Rui struggled violently, cursing endlessly, but it was a pity that no matter how much he cursed, he couldn't break free from the shackles of the two guards, and was dragged out alive.

In the side hall next door, Chen Rui was hung on the beam of the house, and as he struggled violently, his body stiffened and he lost his breath after a short while.

In the hall, when Xu Lin and other officials heard the movement next door disappeared, they naturally knew what was going on, and everyone looked at each other and let out a sigh of relief.

At this time, Xu Lin said to the previous guard: "Go and find out, what happened to Chen Yuan and other core figures of the Chen family, have they ever fallen into the hands of Jin Yiwei!"

Although they said that they cleaned up the officials who were from the Chen family in the government office, but if they really wanted to completely clean up their relationship with the Chen family, it was not so easy.

After all, if the core members of the Chen family are still there, then they also have the risk of being dragged into the water.

So what everyone is most concerned about at the moment is what happened to the members of the Chen family, whether they were all killed in the confrontation with Jin Yiwei, or they have already fallen into the hands of Jin Yiwei.

Only when they knew the whereabouts of those members of the Chen family, could they come up with a countermeasure.

As the officer took the order to leave, all the officials in the hall were fidgeting, with a bit of worry on their faces.

The waiting time passed extremely slowly. Although it was just a cup of tea, in the eyes of everyone, it seemed that most of the day had passed.

Suddenly there was a sound of footsteps outside the hall, and all of them looked out of the hall in unison. When they saw someone coming, their faces showed anticipation.

The person who came was none other than the guard.

Walking into the hall, without waiting for the guard to speak, he saw Jia Yuan, the magistrate of Yangzhou Mansion, eagerly said, "Lu Wu, tell me, have all the members of the Chen family been killed by Jin Yiwei?"

When talking about this, Jia Yuan's eyes were full of hope, not only Jia Yuan, but also other officials in the hall.

Obviously, what they expected most in their hearts was that everyone in the Chen family would be killed by Jin Yiwei, so that they could feel completely at ease.

Lu Wu shook his head when he heard the words, and said at the same time: "My lord, I don't know whether Chen Yuan and others are alive or dead, but Jin Yiwei suffered heavy casualties."

Everyone was stunned when they heard the words, Xu Lin frowned and said, "What are the Jinyiwei people doing now? Are they searching the whole city of Dasuo for the whereabouts of Chen Yuan and others?"

Everyone's eyes lit up, and they looked at Lu Wu in unison. If the people of the Jinyiwei wanted the whole city, it meant that someone from the Chen family had escaped from the Jinyiwei. Killing them all means that they have fallen into the hands of Jin Yiwei.

Lu Wu looked at Xu Lin, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Go back to your lord, I saw that the people from Jin Yiwei are escorting Chen Long to the direction of the yamen."

Hearing Lu Wu's words, everyone was stunned and puzzled.

Although they were a little surprised that Chen Long fell into the hands of Jin Yiwei, they were surprised that since Jin Yiwei took Chen Long, normally they should go back to Yangzhou Jin Yiwei Qianhu House.

At this moment, another person came rushing from outside the hall, only to hear an official say in a panic: "My lord, my lord, something is wrong, the people from Jinyiwei are here!"

With a crash, everyone present stood up in unison, their faces full of panic.

Someone said with a look of panic: "It's over, it's over this time, people from Jin Yiwei must have come to arrest us."

"The Chen family, it must be someone from the Chen family who framed us, and that's why the people from Jinyiwei were recruited!"

"Goddamn Chen family, don't arrest me, I don't want to go to Jinyiwei's prison..."

All of a sudden, the hall was in chaos, and all the officials reacted differently, and they were really ugly.

At this moment, there was a bang, and Xu Lin, who was the prefect, slapped the table with his palm. The movement was so loud that the teacups on the table fell down.

This bang suddenly made the hall extremely silent, and all eyes naturally turned to Xu Lin.

Xu Lin, who was dressed in an official uniform, was the highest official of the Yangzhou Prefecture. At this moment, his eyes showed a bit of majesty, and he glanced over the crowd and snorted coldly: "Why panic, the people from Jinyiwei haven't come yet?" , besides, even if the people from Jinyiwei came to the government office, so what, if they want to arrest us, there must be the imperial court's order and sufficient evidence, and the other party may not necessarily come to us."

As he said that, Xu Lin said coldly: "Look at how decent each of you are, it's really embarrassing for a saint and an insult to gentleness."

After being reprimanded by Xu Lin, all the officials showed embarrassment, but they looked at Xu Lin as if grasping at a straw, and said, "Master Zhifu, aren't these Jinyi guards really coming after us?"

Xu Lin snorted coldly and said, "Ask me, how do I know? The sky hasn't fallen yet. Besides, even if the sky does fall, I will still be there. I haven't panicked yet. Why are you panicking?"

While speaking, Xu Lin rushed to Lu Wu and said, "Lu Wu, send someone to ask what the Jinyiwei people mean!"

At this time, a burst of fast horses galloped over, and saw a Jinyiwei Xiaoqi officer get off his horse and rush directly into the mansion.

"Where is the prefect of Yangzhou!"

Jin Yiwei went straight to the government office, such things would have never happened in the period of Emperor Hongzhi, but in recent years, with Li Huan's strong shock and reorganization of Jin Yiwei, Jin Yiwei's power has reappeared.

Don't talk about other places, let's just talk about the land of the capital. Officials of Jinyiwei, big and small, can be said to be very ambitious, and they are worthy of the name of the emperor's pro-army.

This Jinyiwei Xiaoqi followed Li Huan in the capital, but he failed to copy many powerful and high-ranking officials' homes. In his eyes, the Yangzhou government office was nothing, even if he broke into it, no one could do anything to him.

The high-level officials of the prefect of Yangzhou are all in the inner hall. As for the low-level officials, how dare they stop the small banner official of the Jinyiwei who is so powerful at first glance.

So the little flag officer directly barged in front of the hall where Xu Lin and the others were.

Hearing someone shouting from outside, Xu Lin, who is the magistrate, got up and looked outside, and saw a man in the official uniform of Jin Yi Wei Xiao Banner outside the hall.

Frowning, Xu Lin suppressed the uneasiness in his heart, his eyes fell on the little flag officer and said coldly: "This official is Xu Lin, the magistrate of Yangzhou, what's the matter for you to see me?"

The little banner officer glanced at Xu Lin, bowed his hands at Xu Lin and said, "Ding Yi, a small banner officer of Jinyiwei, came to Tong Bing by the order of Lord Qianhu. Block the four gates of Yangzhou City, raid the entire city, and capture the remnants of the Chen family."

As he said that, Ding Yi glanced at the crowd and said: "Master Qianhu of my family will come to meet Lord Zhifu soon."

For some reason, after listening to Ding Yi's words, all the officials standing behind Xu Lin breathed a sigh of relief.

Xu Lin frowned, glanced at Ding Yi lightly and said: "I know."

Watching Ding Yi's figure leave, fellow acquaintance Jia Yuan said to Xu Lin: "My lord, it seems that the people from Jin Yiwei did not come here after us, they are asking for something from us."

Some officials also said: "I think Jin Yiwei suffered a big loss in the Chen residence this time, and even escaped from the Chen family."

The official said with a bit of regret: "It's a pity. It would be great if all the people from Chen Yuan were killed by Jin Yiwei. Now that these people have escaped, I don't know what troubles will arise."

There was an inexplicable look in the eyes of all the people present.

Xu Lin glanced at his fellow acquaintance Jia Yuan and said, "Lord Jia, you should immediately send someone to seal the four gates, and at the same time order the people to raid the entire city to lock up the remnants of the Chen family."

Jia Yuan was taken aback, and subconsciously said to Xu Lin: "My lord, are you really going to help the people of Jin Yiwei capture the people of the Chen family?"

Jia Yuan's meaning couldn't be clearer, if the Chen family members were captured, if the Chen family members tried to bite them, wouldn't they be shooting themselves in the foot.

After glancing at Jia Yuan faintly, Xu Lin said calmly, "Tell the people below that the members of the Chen family are extremely cruel. Once they are discovered, they will be dead or alive."
