Chapter 407: Bandits!

In fact, if Shen Yi and Li Mu had enough patience, they would not have to do such a risky thing.

As long as they send people to investigate in Taizhou Mansion for a year or two, or three to five years if it doesn't work, they will always find the Wang family's flaws.

But when the two of them left Beijing this time, their real task was to form an anti-Japanese army, and they didn't have much free time to entangle with an ordinary family in Taizhou Prefecture.

The so-called richest man in Taizhou is nothing in front of the court.

Don't say that they are indeed suspected of collusion with the Japanese. Even if they don't, with Li Mu's ID card and current power, they can easily place trumped-up charges on the Wang family.

Of course, Shen Yi didn't want to wrong a good person.

He planned to block Linhai County and the Wang family's mansion for three days.

Within three days, if there is no movement from the Japanese pirates, Shen Yi will release them, and then send the mansion to investigate slowly. If the Japanese pirates come within three days...

Then the result is naturally needless to say.

On the first day when the Wang family was detained, both Shen Yi and Li Mu stayed in the Wang family's mansion, but for the whole day, the inside and outside of Linhai County was calm, without any disturbance.

The eyeliner placed along the coast did not see any movement of the Japanese pirates.

In the morning of the next day, Li Mu couldn't sit still anymore, so he found Shen Yi in a wing room of the Wang family's back house, and said, "Ziheng, there is no movement inside or outside, and we didn't find anything yesterday." , Could it be that they really wronged their family?"

Shen Yi also had some hesitation in his heart. After he lowered his head and thought for a while, he said, "Your Majesty, according to the court's procedures, even if you commit a capital crime, you must first be sent to the prison and be executed at an optional date."

"This process takes time."

Shen Sizheng said in a low voice: "I guess, the Japanese pirates outside the city think that there is still a turning point in the Wang family's affairs, so there is no movement, so..."

He said slowly: "Let's put up a notice in the city, saying that the matter of the Wang family's access to the Japanese has been confirmed, and there is ironclad evidence, because the access to the Japanese is a great crime, and you are an imperial envoy ordered by His Majesty to make decisions on the fly." , It is absolutely possible to kill people directly without going through the Ministry of Criminal Justice, just say that in the early morning of the next day, the whole family of the Wang family will be executed at the gate of the Wang family's mansion, so as to scare others."

Li Mu hesitated, and said, "This will make a big fuss. If the royal family can't be killed by then, what will be the court's rules and regulations?"

Shen Si was breathing out a foul breath, and said: "I'm [-]% sure about this matter."

Shen Yi's confidence, [-]% comes from the information found by the mansion's newspaper department, and the other [-]% comes from intuition and what Gu Shi once said to him.

Hearing this, Li Mu gritted his teeth first, and then said in a deep voice: "Okay, just rely on your words, Ziheng, to be [-]% sure, and I will arrange it right away!"

With that said, the imperial envoy no longer hesitated, and immediately asked someone to draft a notice.

As soon as the notice was posted, the whole city was in an uproar.

The common people in Linhai talked a lot.

Some people said that they had already seen that the Wang family's intentions were not righteous, and some said that they saw the leader of the Japanese pirates entering and leaving the palace.

However, some people who have been favored by the Wang family questioned whether the government's handling was too arbitrary. In less than two days, without reporting to the court, they decided the life and death of a big family.

But all of this has no way to affect the decision of the imperial envoy.

All the gates of the Wang family's mansion were strictly guarded, and no one was allowed to enter or leave. Some servants of the Wang family were locked inside, trembling with fright, and some timid maids hugged each other and cried loudly.

Time passed little by little, and soon, it was the evening of the next day.

Li Mu looked up at the gradually darkening sky, turned his head to look at Shen Yi, and said slowly: "Ziheng, if there are really Japanese pirates, it will be around tonight, you bring someone here to guard, I..."

"I'm going to the city wall."

The reason why Li Mu went to the city wall was because he wanted to mobilize the Linhai Guard on the spur of the moment, and Shen Yi, the eighth-rank mansion report division, Si Zheng, naturally had no right to mobilize the local guard.

Shen Yi sighed, and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, the Japanese pirates have been rampant for so many years, to the extent that the local government and army have nothing to do with them. There must be some skills. If there are really Japanese pirates tonight, Your Majesty, remember..."

"The first thing is to protect yourself!"

Li Mu patted Shen Yi on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "Linhaiwei is just outside the city, I wrote to them in advance, and if something happens, they will be able to support it quickly. Weidu can't stop them from destroying the city."

Shen Yi nodded slightly, and said: "I won't say any unnecessary words. If you succeed tonight, everyone in Linhai tomorrow will congratulate you."

"In the future when the Anti-Japanese Army is successful, Your Majesty must at least give the son a rank of nobility. In the future, the Jin Palace may be hereditary!"

Unlike the vassal kings of the Ming Dynasty who were born hereditary, the vassal kings of the Chen Kingdom were descended from generation to generation. That is to say, the Jin Wangjue of the Jin Palace will come to Li Mu in the future, and he will be a county prince.

After descending from generation to generation, he will become a commoner after a few generations.

As for Li Mu, a nobleman of the clan, the goal he was willing to fight for was hereditary succession.

Hearing this, Li Mu smiled slightly, stretched out his hand and patted Shen Yi's shoulder, and said, "People in the local yamen are unreliable, I will leave you twenty people from Linhaiwei, and ten soldiers from the palace to protect you personally." Safety."

After saying this, Li Mu put his hands behind his back and strode away surrounded by his followers.

After Li Mu left, Shen Yi sat alone in the Wang family's back house for a while, then went back to his room and fell asleep.

When I woke up, it was already midnight.

Master Shen got up and dressed, asked his subordinates if anything happened, and after learning that nothing happened, he came to the open space in the front yard of the Wang family with his hands behind his back.

At this moment, the main characters of the Wang family are all controlled here, except for defecating and peeing, they eat, drink and sleep here.

Naturally, there is no comfortable bed here. These Wang family members no longer have the usual rich and noble appearance, and they all look embarrassed and disheveled.

Shen Yi walked up to Wang Chengwang, the head of the Wang family, looked at the old man who closed his eyes and said softly: "Master Wang, now that you have confessed your crime, I can decide to leave a root for your Wang family. If you still kill me If you don’t admit it, then the men here today…”

"I'm afraid I can't escape."

Master Shen said indifferently: "The women's family members must serve as the secretary of the Jiaofang."

Wang Chengwang opened his eyes, gritted his teeth at Shen Yi, and said, "If you want to commit a crime, there is nothing wrong with it! The two imperial envoys have been in our Wang's house for two days, but have they ever found any evidence of my Wang's collusion with Japanese pirates!"

Shen Yi shook his head: "No."

"If there is, I won't detain you here again."

Master Wang laughed back angrily, trembling with anger: "If the imperial court takes a fancy to my Wang family's property, as long as the two imperial envoys say something, Wang will naturally offer it with both hands. It is absolutely impossible for Wang to exterminate himself from his ancestors due to the crime of Wo!"

"Left and right are nothing more than death, the imperial envoy is killing Wang now!"

Shen Yi smiled, stood up, looked at the dozens of Wang family members present, and said: "Everyone who is willing to take the initiative to confess, as a witness, I will not be held accountable..."

He hadn't said the word "his crime" when suddenly there was a distant "bang" sound!

Shen Yi's face changed suddenly, and he looked towards the city gate suddenly. He looked back at Wang Chengwang with an ugly expression: "You guys have artillery!"

Master Wang opened his eyes, but still refused to let go: "What about us, Master Imperial Envoy, don't want to spit blood!"

With a gloomy face, Shen Yi said coldly: "Lock all these people into each room and wait to be dealt with!"

After hearing Shen Yi's words, all the guards of the palace and the servants of the local yamen were about to step forward and detain the members of the Wang family. At this moment, two loud noises came from the back door and the front door of the Wang family at the same time!

It was the sound of gunpowder explosion!

Master Shen took a deep breath, trying to keep himself calm.

He understood that the Wang family was also manned in Linhai County!
And there is gunpowder!
Master Shen looked coldly at Wang Chengwang at the side, then drew out the long knife of the guard beside him, and strode towards Wang Chengwang.

"Everyone listen to my orders, guard the various gates of the Wang family, and if you encounter thieves, shoot them to death!"
