This Jinyiwei is obviously super strong but draws too much

Chapter 1023 Hesitation
"Has the criminal been caught?"

Hearing what the boy who came to report said this, Chen Heguang stood up suddenly. He immediately took a deep breath to calm down his excitement, and then pretended to be calm and said: "I know, go down and thank Brother Lu properly for me."

Perhaps the friend's warning had an effect, or perhaps Lu Hongwen finally discovered Chen Heguang's hypocrisy. This time, the other party did not come in person, but just asked his attendants to spread the news to the Chen family.

"Yes." The servant stepped back in response.

Without outsiders, Chen Heguang no longer had to pretend to be calm. He got up and paced back and forth in the hall, and then asked Chen Nuo who was sitting at the top: "Uncle Chen, what happened this time, could it be... Jin Yiwei’s test?”

Jin Yiwei usually has a rule when handling cases. The more difficult and complex the case, the faster it will be closed, because such cases usually involve many and wide areas. If the perpetrator is not caught immediately and decisively, the subsequent troubles will be endless.

On the contrary, some trivial cases are delayed again and again for various strange reasons.

Chen Zihua's murder case this time was obviously a major case among major cases, but Jin Yiwei's actions were quite delayed. If both his sister and Uncle Chen didn't think that Lu Hanjiang was not responsible for this matter, Chen and Guang would have thought that it was the other party. I'm directing and acting myself.

But that's what happened. The case still dragged on for almost a month without a conclusion. Chen Heguang was not stupid. If there was no answer within three days, it was because Jin Yiwei was incompetent. If there was still no answer after three days, it was because he had ulterior motives.

Although the family looks down on the royal family's heritage, they never underestimate the power of the royal family. The signs of blood flowing in the river are still vivid in their eyes. The butcher's knife of Jin Yiwei is really sharp.

Therefore, Chen Heguang concluded that if there was no reply within three days, the Jinyiwei must have identified the culprit, but did not inform them because of some involvement.

The reason why Chen Heguang often pestered Lu Hongwen was to put pressure on Lu Shangshu in disguise, or in other words, to put pressure on Mr. Lu of Jinyiwei.

But the reason for the pressure was not that he was eager to find the prisoner, but to express Chen's attitude, which also contained some of his own selfish motives.

Since his father, Chen Zihua, had always adhered to the strategy of not having any contact with the imperial court when he was still alive. Although this move ensured the aristocracy's aristocracy, it also gave people the feeling that the aristocratic family was afraid of the imperial court.

Chen Heguang has been very dissatisfied with this situation since he was sensible. He feels that what happened back then scared his father out of fear, so he has been advocating in the clan to face the court with a tough attitude.

Chen Heguang's ideas are quite popular, especially among the younger generation. These young people from aristocratic families adhere to the theory of aristocratic family supremacy. They feel superior wherever they go, so they look down on the current situation of the court.

What these children of aristocratic families hope is to restore the fine tradition of selecting scholars in ancient times, abolish the imperial examination and use the examination method of aristocratic families, so that people with outstanding backgrounds can be matched to the right positions, instead of having the court treat them like picking persimmons. Commentary on knowledge.

Although this idea is somewhat crazy and unrealistic, it does meet the needs of many aristocratic families.

Not everyone agrees with such a high-sounding statement. To put it bluntly, what the family wants is to get back its former power. As for how stupid the method is, that is an irrelevant matter.

It had been a long time since they were kicked out by the imperial court, and it was so long that it made people a little uneasy.

In particular, the alliance of aristocratic families themselves is slowly falling apart. The emergence of "new aristocratic families" such as the Lu family has made many aristocratic families see another way out.

Since ancient times, all reforms have been aimed at digging the foundations of those with vested interests. This is what the "New Aristocratic Family" does to the "Old Aristocratic Family". Naturally, the Yunzhong Chen family does not want this kind of thing to continue to develop.

Especially now that the "New Aristocratic Family" has tasted the sweetness, it is impossible to keep the horses from eating grass. The rapid development of the "New Aristocratic Family" is inseparable from their suppression of the "Old Aristocratic Family".It is the fragrance of flesh and blood of these ancient families that makes the "new family" willingly let the emperor control them.

As for whether His Majesty the Emperor will use the same methods to deal with these "new aristocratic families" after they absorb the flesh and blood of the "old aristocratic families" and thrive, all these worries about the bird's end and the bow's hiding were all dispelled by Lu Shangshu. .

Lu Shangshu taught these people a good lesson, using Confucianism as the skeleton and Legalism as the skin, weaving a beautiful dream for them called loyalty to the emperor and protecting the emperor, making everyone believe that they and the emperor were connected in interests.

Chen Zihua and Chen Heguang, the father and son, have always scorned this, but their views are somewhat different.

His father, Chen Zihua, believed that Lu Yannian's approach was nothing more than giving a good-looking skin to his clique and his personal interests. In fact, the inside was no different from today's aristocratic families. They were all building up strength to compete with the royal family, but they were doing a better job and looking better.

This is why Chen Zihua thinks that Lu is trustworthy, because in his opinion, they are essentially both based in the imperial court, and there is not much difference. The only difference is that the other person is more hypocritical than him.

But his son Chen Heguang didn't think so. He hated Lu Yannian from the bottom of his heart and believed that his soul had been corrupted by the glamor of the court and turned into a loyal lackey of the emperor.

He had no doubt that once the "New Aristocratic Family" was established, Lu Shangshu would definitely be the first to stab him in the back. Then everything would happen again, and only the court and the emperor would benefit.

Therefore, Chen Heguang was very unfavorable about the alliance with the Lu family, and even despised the idiots who still had illusions about Lu Hanjiang, the so-called "disciple of the aristocratic family".

According to him, the other party had been assimilated by Lu Yannian for a long time. He no longer had any pride in his family and was just a complete wild wolf.

Similarly, Chen Zihua's case this time is also full of calculations and conspiracies in Chen Heguang's opinion. Even though Jin Yiwei will not kill people, no matter who killed Chen Zihua, I believe they are very interested in helping each other clean up the mess. , even if it just creates trouble for Chen, it’s not bad.

The criminal was arrested today, and there must be some conspiracy involved. Chen Heguang was very cautious, but in Chen Nuo's eyes, this scene made him look down on him.

Although Chen Nuo was not as naive as Chen Zihua in believing that Lu was trustworthy, he also would not be as dismissive as Chen Heguang.

Moreover, even if Jin Yiwei really has some hidden plot, when things come to a head, what's the use of Chen Heguang being here temporarily? If he doesn't see the opponent's moves with his own eyes, can he figure out a way to break the situation behind closed doors.

Chen Heguang's repeated thinking was more timid than cautious. Ever since Chen's people outside the cabinet were beaten to death with imperial sticks, this kid had been frightened.

Look at what he did, he wanted to exert pressure not to go to the Jinyiwei Yamen, but went to Lu Yannian's house in a roundabout way to make a fool of himself. He didn't see the pressure, but Jinyiwei saw a lot of the joke.

Chen Nuo shook his head secretly. Seeing that Chen Heguang was still hesitant, he called the boys outside the door in and told them to prepare the car.

"Uncle Chen, are you going to Jinyiwei Yamen?" Chen Heguang asked immediately.

Chen Nuo glanced at him indifferently: "The criminal who killed your father has been found. As a son, shouldn't you be more active? I knew you couldn't help crying in the mourning hall a few days ago. Why are you so stupid now?"

Chen Heguang blushed, and he looked like he was bowing down to learn the lesson: "Uncle Chen is teaching me that I am stupid."
