Chapter 183 Arrest
Keeping secrets is not like fighting a war, the more people the better.

If you want to hide a secret, the fewer people who know it, the better. It is best to take it to the grave alone.

It is obviously impossible for these more than 100 people to take the secret into the grave.

After several days of fighting day and night, Jin Yiwei used all kinds of soft and hard tricks.

It's not that there is no one who can carry it to the end, but it has no practical significance.

When Zhang Fang sent Tian Ergeng with a stack of confessions and the list, it was already midnight, and Tian Ergeng was drinking tea with Li Jinbo and waiting.

Tian Ergeng flipped through it casually and handed it to Li Jinbo.

"Old Li, I really admire you. Look, you have only been in Nanjing for how long, and you have offended more people than I have been in Jinyiwei for half my life."

Li Jinbo took the confession and flipped through it casually, his head was full of black lines.

I don't want to either.

"Commander Tian, ​​don't make fun of me. If it weren't for His Majesty to back me up, any one of these people would come out and crush me to death. It wouldn't be as simple as crushing an ant."

"Hahaha! Don't talk about it, just this record. It's enough to brag about for a lifetime."

"Doing things for His Majesty, even if you die, you will have no regrets."

"Yes. It's late today. I will report to His Majesty tomorrow morning and wait for His Majesty's decision. Go to bed, Lao Li, and you can sleep well tonight!"

As he spoke, he stood up and stretched himself.

Li Jinbo also got up and went back to his room.

Silent all night.

Early the next morning, Tian Ergeng reported the results of the interrogation to Zhu Youjian.

The reply was only one word.

Grasp!
Tian Ergeng waved his fist excitedly.

Wang Wang team is dispatched!

Tian Ergeng began to assign tasks to his men and horses. Except for a thousand soldiers from the Yongwei Battalion who stayed behind and guarded, the other 2000 people all went out.Cooperate with Jin Yiwei to arrest people in Suzhou, Changzhou, Huzhou and other places.

And he personally led the team and went to Songjiang with Li Jinbo.

Jin Yiwei's actions were not deliberately concealed. Those who had been paying attention to the movement here saw Jin Yiwei and the fully armed soldiers of the Yongwei Battalion going out together, and rushed to tell each other.

"My lord, Tian Ergeng has started to move." In Wei Guogong's mansion, a person reported the news of Jinyiwei to Xu Hongji who was fishing.

Xu Hongji nodded, was silent for a while and said:

"Pass my order down, let the guards be more vigilant, so as not to cause trouble to some people. But don't hinder the actions of the guards."

"Yes!"

Tian Ergeng led the people all the way at full speed, and went straight to Songjiang Mansion.Songjiang Mansion was the hardest hit area in this case, so he couldn't help but ignore it.

It took five days to travel more than 400 miles from Nanjing to Songjiang.This is because the soldiers practiced lightly and did not bring any heavy equipment.

The arrest operation has begun.

The first stop, Huating Lu's.

The Lu family started to make a fortune from Lu Shusheng, Lu Shusheng had many disciples, and the current North Korean governor Yuan Keli is his disciple.

Lu Shusheng has been dead for more than 20 years. He was old enough to have children. When he was in his 50s, he had a son named Lu Yanzhang who also died last year.

The Lu family is very prestigious in Huating, and someone in the family is an official, so this business is naturally easy to do, and it is natural that such a lucrative industry as the cotton spinning industry will not be involved.

Tian Ergeng's arrest went smoothly.

Next stop, Huating Xu's.

But when Tian Ergeng brought people to Xu's house, he only caught Xu Yuanzhao in the ancestral hall.

It turned out that Mrs. Xu got the news the first night Tian Ergeng arrived in Songjiang.

At this time, Xu Yuanzhao was in charge of the Xu family. He was the younger brother of Xu Yuanchun, the grandson of Xu Jie, and he was over 70 years old this year.

After hearing the news, they summoned the direct descendants of the family, and the three generations added up to twenty or thirty people, filling the entire room.

"Tian Ergeng, commander of Jinyiwei, is on his way to Songjiang. This time, the attack is so fierce that my Xu family may suffer. Do you have any good strategies?"

Everyone in the family was silent. As early as many days ago, they had smelled something unusual.

Not only did the news of the people in the family working in Beijing not come back, but even the officials who were close to them on weekdays were anxious to distance themselves from them. I am afraid that the Xu family will be in trouble this time.

"Uncle, let's escape to the sea." It was Xu Youqing who spoke, the current commander of Jinshanwei.

"Where are you fleeing to?"

"Anywhere is fine, it's better than waiting here for the court to catch him."

"Doesn't running away mean that we are guilty?" Xu Yuanzhao's younger brother Xu Yuanri said.

"Jin Yiwei must have obtained the evidence when he came here this time. What's more, with Jin Yiwei's means, even if there is no evidence, if we arrest all the family members, we can still get the evidence they want. As long as the emperor doesn't let us go, will we survive? "

"Then what about the business? What about the land?"

"Stupid! It's this time, and you're still thinking about your family property. You might not be able to save your life if you steal the house!"

"Anyway, I'm not leaving, and I didn't participate in what you guys did!"

"You didn't participate? Where did you get the money for food, drink, and concubines? The wind blows?"

"If you want me to say, His Majesty dare not touch us. Grandpa's disciples and old officials are all over the world, so he doesn't consider the influence?"

"Hehe, idiot!"

"Xu Yuancai, who are you calling an idiot?"

"It's you! Xu Yuanzhong"

The whole hall was noisy and chaotic.

Finally, Xu Yuanzhao couldn't take it anymore, and yelled loudly:

"Shut up!"

Xu Yuanzhao glanced around for a week, his eyes were sharp and disappointed.

"It's about this time, I don't want to make up my mind, and I'm still arguing. What's the use of arguing when a disaster is imminent? Huh? Since Tian Ergeng is not kind, let's make preparations early.

Youqing, hurry up and find a few big ships, and transfer all the direct descendants of your family to the ships.The gold and silver that can be taken away are taken away together.Even if you can't take it with you.

If Tian Ergeng comes and doesn't move our Xu family, it's fine. If it moves, then you will sail away immediately and go to Japan.There are our former business partners there, we can temporarily avoid it for a while, and if things turn around in the DPRK and China, you will come back. "

"Uncle, what about you?"

"Me? I'm old and I've lived enough. Whether it's beheading or exile, I'm waiting for him here. Besides, your other uncles are still officials in the court. I want to stay and stop the crime. Try not to implicate them as much as possible."

"uncle!"

"Seventh brother!"

"Come with us!?"

"No more talking, let's go. Hurry up and act."

After everyone dispersed, Xu Yuanzhao got up and came to the ancestral hall, knelt in front of the ancestor's spiritual tablet, and knelt until dawn.

"Where are the people in your family?" Tian Ergeng searched for a long time but couldn't find any other direct descendants. Except for this old man, there are some servants in the house.

"Hehe, Commander Tian has great powers. I don't know if our family has gone out to play?"

"Playing?" Tian Ergeng laughed angrily at this reason. "Is it such a coincidence?"

"What a coincidence."

"It wasn't necessarily a crime in the first place, but this run, it's real."

"My Xu family has been loyal for generations, and my grandfather was the chief assistant of the previous dynasty. Now that it is in your hands, I have nothing to say. Isn't it your Jinyiwei's forte to frame Zhongliang?"

"Tsk tsk, it's unusual. It really is the grandson of the chief assistant! It's really extraordinary. I'll go after your loyal family members now, and we'll have a good chat when I catch it!"

As he spoke, he ordered Xu Yuanzhao to be guarded, while he went out and called a Jin Yiwei.

"I asked if it came out, where did the family members go?"

"It is said that they went to sea overnight."

"Going to sea!?" Tian Ergeng's eyes widened!Gan!Why didn't I think of this crop! "Send someone to chase after him!"

Although I know that the hope of catching up is very slim, but I have to try.

Sure enough, two hours later, the person who went to chase came back.

"Commander, when we arrived, their ship had already been out to sea for an hour!"

"Damn!" Tian Ergeng slapped his thigh violently!
Careless!This time, I will be punished by His Majesty!He stood up and came to Xu Yuanzhao angrily.

"Speak! Where did they flee to?"

"Hahaha! Tian Ergeng! Didn't I say that? They went out to sea for fun. As for where, I really don't know."

"you!"

Tian Ergeng stomped his feet angrily and walked out.

"Old Li, I have to go to the houses of the rest of the people quickly, don't run away. Your Majesty must not break my leg!"

Tian Ergeng said to Li Jinbo anxiously.

"Okay! Let's go."

Under Xu Youqing's arrangement, the direct descendants of the Xu family went out to sea and packed six large ships with their people and belongings.Together with the four warships that Xu Youqing paid a lot of money to instigate rebellion and more than 400 generals, they marched mightily towards the open sea.

The people on the boat showed sorrow, especially the female relatives, sobbing in a low voice. No one thought that the Xu family, which had stood in Songjiang for decades, would collapse suddenly.

This trip to sea, I don't know what the future holds.

Xu Youqing and a few uncles stood at the bow of the boat, quietly looking at the farther and farther coast in a trance.

"Uncle, do we have a chance to come back?"

"I don't know. If someone in the court speaks for us, it's not like we don't have a chance." Xu Yuancai said.

"At this time, not only our family is involved, and there may be a turning point."

"I hope so." Xu Youqing sighed, his eyes casually swept across the distant sea!

Shocked!
