People in the Ming Dynasty are lawless

Chapter 426 King Lu is dying, and the people are watching!

Hearing this voice, the postmaster and several postmen were stunned for a moment and couldn't believe it.

They thought that Chen Han and others had been burned to death in Guanyi.

After all, the entire Guanyi belongs to them.

They didn't realize how Chen Han and the others escaped at the time.

At the same time, they didn't realize that Chen Han and the others had already ambushed them on the only way they wanted to escape.

In this way, they not only lost the opportunity to escape, but were also exposed to Chen Han and the others.

They were the Huo Shaoguan Posthouse before, and Chen Han and the others there not only held great power, but were also imperial envoys.

If this was pursued, all the family members would have to be killed.

So Yi Cheng's face was unusually pale at this time.

They usually receive officials who pass by, but if the officials make some special requests, they have to pay back, which makes Yi Cheng very unbalanced.

Hearing this, Yi Cheng suddenly despaired.

As a result, they had no chance to escape. They were holding muskets, so they probably didn't think about saving their lives.

Yi Cheng saw his brothers kneeling on the ground, and felt extremely sad in his heart.

What they didn't expect was that Chen Han and the others not only didn't get hit, but actually appeared behind them accurately.

Even the postmen didn't know what to say at this time, their lips were trembling.

Although this hotel is sheltered from the wind and rain, you can still meet high-ranking officials in the past.

Of course, they are actually betting. What are they betting on? Bet that King Lu will not harm his children.

Just like this Yi Cheng, after receiving the words from the people sent by King Lu, he also had a thought in his heart, that is, I risked my life to find a good way out for my descendants.

Moreover, in Guanyi, even if they receive passing officials, because these officials are only passing by on official business, there is no time to communicate with them in depth, and there is no chance to be transferred to other places through them.

At the same time, Yi Cheng also had greed at work in his heart.

The other postmen also knelt down quickly and said, "Yeah, how can we have a choice? They already explained the situation when they came to us. Now that we know their purpose, there is no way they will give us a chance to survive. We are forced to do nothing, and we are also victims. If we don’t set this fire, we will die, and our families will die too.”

But when they are not treated with equal value, their hearts will become distorted.

They obviously saw Jin Yiwei eating those things when they were delivering water and food to Chen Han and the others, but why they could still appear here and move around at this time made them very puzzled.

In fact, as these postmen said, they really have no choice.

But precisely because he was receiving all these officials, he felt even more unbalanced.

They were originally bribed by King Lu with a lot of money, thinking that they would die anyway and were not worthy of sympathy, so they would let their bad life bring hope to the people in their family, so that they would not be impoverished for the rest of their lives and their children. You can also get better resources and prosper from now on.

But they still had to bet that if King Lu came to them to do this, they were already destined to have no choice.

So when they were selected, they had no choice but to prepare for the worst.

As time goes by, this imbalance in my heart becomes more and more serious.

When the people sent by King Lu find them, they don't need to tell them. They just need to tell them what they want to do. You have to agree whether you agree or not.

In the past, those traders selling ginseng, mink fur, and deer antlers from Liaodong also passed by here. When they received them, they heard from their mouths that it was easy to grow anything in Liaodong, and the products were rich, but there were still very few people. As long as you work hard, you can become a rich man.

Already knowing King Lu's purpose, in order to prevent the secret from being exposed, if he chooses another option, King Lu will of course kill someone to silence him.

I just didn't expect to meet a tough guy.

And it blocked their inevitable path.

Because as long as he is found out, it is his responsibility.

What I didn't expect was that they thought it was perfect, that they had been given the Mongolian sweat medicine, and that Chen Han and the others at this time would not be able to escape even if there was a fire.

Because only the dead can keep secrets best.

A hundred households next to Chen Han said, "You can be considered an honest person, why can't you figure this out? Let me tell you, ever since we entered Shandong, we have been on guard against someone doing evil things to us. No matter where we go, we You eat your own food, you drink the water you bring, and you never touch things provided by others. So why can’t we hear the noise you make carrying firewood and kerosene in the middle of the night?”

Why do these officials like to drink spicy food? I would never dare to spend an extra penny even in this hotel.

At the same time, he also knew that he was doomed now. Not only would he die, but the people in his family would also be affected.

Just like the service staff who work in jewelry stores, they deal with wealthy people, and over time they feel that they are of the same value as the jewelry.

They actually thought that even if they finished this matter, their children might be killed and silenced.

The postmen were dumbfounded at this time. One of the postmen knelt on the ground and said, "Sir, please spare your life. We are also helpless."

I am almost fifty, and I don’t have much potential in this life.

Yi Cheng asked reluctantly, "How did you escape? We saw you drinking those drinks and eating those meals. How could you not be stunned to the ground?"

"Sir, please forgive me. It's none of our business. We have no choice but to do this."

It turns out that this is the case. It turns out that people didn't realize that something was wrong with them from the beginning. Instead, they knew that the road might not be smooth since they entered Shandong, so they had already taken precautions and showed signs of everything along the way. distrust.

After having such a temptation, of course he would not give up the opportunity, so he led these postmen and really did this.

Not only was Chen Han not burned to death by them, but he appeared outside without anyone noticing.

Fortunately, Shandong is not far from Liaodong, so if you go to sea, you can get there very quickly.

So no matter how well they hide, or how light their hands and feet are, the final result is already determined.

Perhaps this is the reason why people can really survive.

When he thought of this, Yi Cheng suddenly collapsed to the ground and couldn't say a word.

But Chen Han did not directly order them to be killed, "Tie them all up first."

The Jinyi guards on the side were puzzled. In their eyes, these people deserved to die. They actually dared to set fire to the imperial envoy. Such people should be cut into pieces. There was no need to interrogate them at all. They could just kill them. them.

But Chen Han didn't do this, which made them very unhurried. If it were for the character of himself and others, he might have shot them to death long ago.

Everyone was a little confused when they thought that Chen Han actually wanted his people to tie him up.

This is especially true for the few very loyal men who follow Chen Han.

They stepped forward and said, "Sir, these people deserve to die. Why bother trying to reason with them? Just pull them out and shoot them to death randomly. Don't bother us."

Chen Han shook his head, "They have their own uses."

Chen Han didn't explain too much to them, but he had an idea in his heart.

These people must be shown in front of King Lu, so that King Lu can see how we captured the people you sent here alive.

Let them see how bad the people you sent here are.

The post Cheng and the post soldiers were all tied up. Next, Chen Han began to release news along the way, saying that he had caught the person who dared to burn the post station. After he was caught, he did not kill him, but kept interrogating him.

Chen Han just wants to inform King Lu and let him understand that I have captured the people sent here by you, but I have not killed them yet. You have to find a way to rescue these people, otherwise they will be interrogated sooner or later. .

In fact, Chen Han does not need to be interrogated, because the only person who dares to kill him is King Lu.

However, after the news spread, it was as if a major earthquake had occurred throughout Shandong. No one dared to believe it.

King Lu was so bold that he dared to set fire to the imperial envoy. If this was investigated, even if he was the prince, he would not be able to escape death.

No one understood why he did this.

In fact, the common people had a strong conscience and understood that these vassal kings were the darlings of the emperor, so how could they kill them.

Even if these princes all commit heinous crimes, so what?

Has King Lu not done many of these things in Lu over the years?
But who will uphold justice for them? No one.

After the news of the burning of the imperial minister spread, the people secretly applauded.

"Okay, this bastard actually dares to do such a thing, he is not far from death!"

"Who says it's not the case? Anyone who commits unjust acts will inevitably die. If he seeks death on his own, no one can save his life."

"Okay, it's really good. Although I don't know how the Imperial Envoy is doing now, but there is such a thing. I guess the Imperial Envoy is fine. Otherwise, how could there be news about the burning of the Imperial Envoy? It seems like this King Lu is about to die soon."

Everyone is not a fool, and burning the imperial envoy must be done in secret.

Even if King Lu, the mastermind behind the scenes, killed the imperial ministers, he was not stupid enough to scream every day. He must have hidden it well, must have done it secretly, and would never have made it public.

Now that the news has come out, and it has spread a lot, it can only mean one thing. Their assassination operation failed, which is a signal released by the imperial envoy.

No one killed him before because the crime was not so heinous, but it is different now. Now this bastard actually dares to burn the imperial envoy. His nature is completely different. He is probably about to die.

"It's good to die, this kind of person deserves to die."

"None of the things he did in Yanzhou Prefecture over the years deserved death.

The people were talking and whispering, but most of them were secretly happy.

At this time, the residence of Prince Lu.

When King Lu also heard about the burning of the imperial ministers, he began to panic.

I had promised to rob and kill Chen Han before, because my head was hot for a while, and I thought I could do it without anyone noticing, but I didn't expect that the first assassination that I just carried out was so perfect, but I still didn't get Chen Han. Death, but Chen Han took advantage of it and caused an uproar.

Not only did he know that Chen Han was not dead, but he also knew that he had no room for maneuver.

And now that this matter is such a big fuss, there may be no chance of doing anything again.

Chen Han will not only be more vigilant, but even the common people know that the death of the imperial envoy must be related to himself who is now being investigated.

Under such pressure from public opinion, he did not dare to take any action openly.

He could only instruct the guards around the mansion to surround his mansion on three floors inside and three floors outside, and absolutely not let anyone in.

And he himself was hiding in the palace and trembling.

Upon seeing this, Tang knew that his end had come, and after Chen Han entered the vicinity of Yanzhou, he began to loudly announce again that he had arrived at Yanzhou Mansion and wanted to publicly interrogate King Lu.

After hearing the news, the people rushed to various places to gather in the capital, where Prince Lu's residence was located.

The people of Yanzhou Prefecture suffered more from King Lu than other places.

Everyone is looking forward to seeing this guy being interrogated.

King Lu received many letters from his servants one after another, many of which were trading partners with whom he had had relationships for more than ten years. King Lu and these traders made a lot of money from doing business.

At the same time, there were also secret letters sent by officials who usually made friends with him.

Most of them are saying that even if Chen Han has not come near the Yanzhou Palace, the current public opinion atmosphere is not good for them.

Someone came up with the idea of ​​asking King Lu to go outside and apologize to the people who had been persecuted by him, so as to win some public opinion, so that when Chen Han came, public opinion would not be overwhelming and they would not be drowned.

When King Lu saw such a letter, he sighed. If it were other times, he might not take it seriously. What does begging for mercy mean? As a prince, I still need to bow to them.

"Damn it!" After reading most of the letters, King Lu sighed.

Others also hope that he can kowtow to apologize to the victims at this juncture. Even if the effect is minimal, he has to do it and use the pressure of public opinion to put pressure on Chen Han so that Chen Han will not have to do it. their lives.

King Lu had no choice but to agree after hearing this idea.

Although he was very reluctant as a prince, in order to save his life, he could only compromise.

The common people had already gathered around his palace at this time. Although they were not completely close, even if they were laying bunks on the spot, the common people wanted to see what would happen to this guy.

I even want to know what it is like to be an imperial minister, and also the imperial minister whose post was burned down by King Lu.

Everyone has only heard that Chen Han once ransacked the Confucius family in Qufu and exterminated the family. He also dug up graves and whipped corpses. They knew that Chen Han had a notorious reputation, but no one had ever seen him.

Firstly, they wanted to see what would happen to King Lu; secondly, they also wanted to see what Chen Han looked like...
