The Most Powerful Man in the World

Chu Yi nodded slightly and said, "Have the people in the mansion ever left?"

The Dongchang spy shook his head and said, "Reporting to the governor, the subordinates and others have been ordered to spy on Jiang's house, and even the slightest disturbance can't escape our monitoring. Except for Jiang Mian's departure in the morning, the house has not been able to escape. No one else is out."

Chu Yi nodded slightly, Duke Muzhai Xie Qian can be said to be one of the masterminds who planned all this, not counting Jiang Mian and others.

His eyes fell on the gate of the Jiang Mansion, Cao Shaoqin immediately stepped forward and pushed it, the gate was obviously blocked from the inside.

Seeing Cao Shaoqin's palm spit out lightly, he heard a click, the door bolt was immediately broken, and with a creak, the door opened.

The two housekeepers who were originally guarding the porch were taking a nap under the porch when they suddenly heard a bang, the door bolt was broken, and the door opened.

Just as the two servants were in a daze, they saw figures pouring in like wolves and tigers outside the mansion.

"You...you guys are so brave, don't you know this is the old mansion of the cabinet..."

It's a pity that all the people who rushed into the mansion were Dongchang Fanzi and Jinyi Wei Shi. For them, high-ranking officials and dignitaries were nothing. In the past few years, they followed Chu Yi, raided their families and destroyed their families. What kind of dignitaries have never seen.

Therefore, the words of the two servants may make ordinary people fear, but these Dongchang Fanzi and Jinyi Guards did not pay attention to the two at all. There were even Jinyi Guards who tied the two servants directly and then blocked their mouths and lost them. to the side.

Chu Yi slowly walked into the Jiang residence, and Cao Shaoqin was one step behind Chu Yi and followed behind Chu Yi.

A lot of people in Beijing have gathered outside the Jiang Mansion. Even if some people don't know who this mansion is, it doesn't prevent others from knowing.

Soon someone informed the people of Jiang Mian's news, and the people couldn't help showing excitement in their eyes when they learned that this mansion turned out to be the residence of the cabinet cabinet old Jiang Mian.

Sure enough, when the Chief Director of Chu came out, none of the targets he seized were simple. They used to be powerful and high-ranking officials, and now even the cabinet elders are not spared.

There was a mess outside the mansion, and it could be said that there was a lot of discussion.

Someone pointed at the mansion and said excitedly: "I really don't know how this pavilion offended the chief manager, but let the chief manager personally bring someone to raid the house!"

"Hmph, although Director Chu said that he acted a bit ruthlessly, he has never wronged a good person. If I say that this Jiang Ge is not a good thing!"

"In the hands of Director Chu, he is also unlucky. It's not good for him to provoke anyone, but he has to provoke Governor Chu to sack the family and destroy the clan!"

In the back garden of Jiang's house, Xie Qianyin, Duke Muzhai, who was playing chess with his disciples, vaguely heard the chaos in the front yard and couldn't help frowning: "What happened in the house, what a mess!"

A disciple serving on the side said to Mu Zhai justice: "Teacher, disciple, go check it out!"

Liu Yi turned around and walked towards the front yard. As he approached the front yard, Liu Yi could only hear that the noise seemed to come from outside the mansion, which made him even more curious.

After all, this is also the mansion of the old man, Jiang Mian. In broad daylight, how can someone dare to make a noise outside the mansion? Are you not afraid of angering the old man?

Passing through a door and entering the front yard from the backyard, Liu Yi hadn't walked a few steps yet. When he saw the situation in the front yard, he couldn't help but stop, his face showing horror.

"You... Who are you guys, why are you trespassing in the old mansion of the pavilion, you just..."

The first thing Liu Yi saw was a few Dongchang Fanzi, followed by Jinyiwei Li Shi. The clothes on the Dongchang and Jinyiwei staff were very conspicuous. It can be said that as long as the people he has met, nine out of ten can remember them.

Liu Yi asked instinctively at first, but he quickly recognized the identities of these people. When he realized that these people were Dongchang and Jinyiwei, inexplicable Liu Yi had a somewhat bad feeling in his heart.

Dongchang, Jin Yiwei appeared here, the only thing Liu Yi could think of was that something happened to them!

At this moment, Liu Yi saw Chu Yi walking slowly, and the moment he saw Chu Yi, Liu Yi recognized Chu Yi.

The moment he recognized Chu Yi, Liu Yi's eyes shrank, and he couldn't help but take a step back. Then he couldn't help but scream in horror, "The castrated thief, it's actually you!"

Chu Yi glanced at Liu Yi lightly, and the next moment Cao Shaoqin stepped forward and pulled his hand on Liu Yi's chin, and immediately removed Liu Yi's chin.

However, Liu Yi's scream also spread to the backyard.

He was playing chess in the backyard, and he was tired. The stable-looking Duke Muzhai heard the scream, his body froze, a look of disbelief appeared on his face, and his hand shook, and the chess piece that was originally pinched between his fingers But it fell on the chessboard.

The disciple sitting opposite Mr. Muzhai was not as good as Mr. Muzhai, with a look of horror on his face, and instinctively stood up and looked towards the entrance of the backyard.

Several other disciples also looked at the entrance of the backyard with a look of horror.

I saw Chu Yi's figure appearing in the sight of several people, and seeing Chu Yi, several disciples all had a look of despair on their faces.

What they have done these days, others don't know, but they can't be clearer in their hearts.

At this moment, Chu Yi's figure suddenly appeared, which naturally made them understand all of a sudden, in fact, their every move was being monitored by others.

Xie Qian sat there firmly, facing Chu Yi. This was also the first time he and Chu Yi met.

Even in Jiangnan, Xie Qian had secretly planned to deal with Chu Yi, but this did not mean that Xie Qian had seen Chu Yi, but when Chu Yi appeared in Xie Qian's line of sight, Xie Qian immediately recognized him. Chu Yi came out.

When Xie Qian looked at Chu Yi, Chu Yi was also looking at Xie Qian.

Xie Qian is over seventy years old, with white eyebrows and looks like an amiable old man. If he didn't know what the old man did, I'm afraid no one could imagine that this man even assassinated the emperor. Dare to plan such a big and unruly thing.

Xie Qian looked at Chu Yi. As expected, Chu Yi's temperament was as rumored, and he didn't look like an eunuch at all. If he hadn't known that the other party was indeed the eunuch of the emperor, Xie Qian would have thought that Chu Yi was the son of a prince.

With a long sigh, Xie Qian couldn't help but stroked his beard and said to Chu Yi, "This old man has heard the name of the Governor, and seeing it today, it really lives up to its reputation!"

Chu Yi walked towards Xie Qianxing slowly, he couldn't help smiling slightly when he heard the words: "In the first emperor's time, no one knew the name of Duke Muzhai, no one knew about it, Chu had seen Duke Muzhai from a distance in the past, When I see you today, Duke Muzhai really is an immortal sword, and his demeanor remains the same!"

With a flick of his hand, Xie Qian said to Chu Yi, "The chief may wish to accompany the old man to drink a cup of tea!"

Chu Yi stepped forward, lifted up his front robe, sat down slowly, and sat opposite Xie Qian. Seeing this, Xie Qian showed some admiration in his eyes, and said to a disciple who stayed there beside him: " Qian Qing, don't even serve tea to the Governor!"

The disciple named Qian Qing softened and fell to the ground, with a look of horror on his face, and Xie Qian frowned.

Chu Yi just glanced at Qian Qing lightly, and said with a slight smile, "Shaoqin, come here!"

Cao Shaoqin took a step forward, lifted his sleeves, slowly poured tea for Chu Yi and Duke Mu Zhai, then stepped back and stood behind Chu Yi.

In comparison, the disciples behind Duke Muzhai were really unbearable.

Mr. Muzhai raised the teacup to Chu Yi and said, "This old man replaces the wine with tea, and a cup to the lord!"

Chu Yi smiled slightly: "Mizhai Gong is really polite, Chu Yi respects you!"

Brushing his beard, Duke Mu Zhai looked at Chu Yi solemnly and said, "This old man has a doubt in his heart, I wonder if the supervisor would be willing to solve it for this old man!"

Chu Yi smiled slightly and said, "Mister Muzhai might as well speak and listen!"

Staring at Chu Yi, Duke Mu Zhai said slowly, "What kind of prejudice does the Governor have towards me in Jiangnan?"

Chu Yi couldn't help but be stunned when he heard the words, and then smiled: "Oh, I don't know why Mr. Muzhai said this?"

Xie Qian narrowed his eyes, leaned slightly and leaned towards Chu Yi and said, "If the Governor has no prejudice against me in Jiangnan, then why do you insist on increasing taxes and opening the sea? This move by the Governor can be said to kill the people of Jiangnan. Li, isn't this a prejudice against Jiangnan?"

Chu Yi couldn't help laughing, and while laughing, he looked at Xie Qian with a look of pity: "Killing the people of Jiangnan to death? It's a big joke, Duke Muzhai is also a well-informed, veteran minister of several dynasties. Then Chu should ask Muzhai Gong, whether the increase in taxes and the opening of the sea is a disaster for the country and the people, or is the merit in the contemporary era and the benefit in the future?"

Chapter Three Hundred and Twenty-Seven The Governor, the cunning rabbit is dead, and the lackey is cooking! 【2 more】

Hearing Chu Yi's questioning, Xie Qian couldn't help shrinking his eyes. As Chu Yizhi said, he was a veteran of several dynasties, and even served as the chief assistant of the cabinet when Emperor Xiaozong was emperor. When it comes to talent, there are few in the world. Someone can compare to it.

What kind of benefits the opening seas and tax hikes will bring to the current Ming Dynasty, Xie Qian knows it all too well.

In particular, the Xie family is a well-known sea merchant in the south of the Yangtze River. Xie Qian is well aware of the huge profits of maritime trade. With his knowledge, he is more aware of how full the imperial treasury will be once the sea is opened.

Although opening the sea will bring some disadvantages, this disadvantage is not a problem at all compared with the benefits that can be obtained.

Aside from his own position, Xie Qian absolutely agrees with opening the sea and raising taxes, but his own position is already doomed that he knows that opening the sea and raising taxes is beneficial to the country, but he will never agree and support this.

Being stared at by Chu Yi, Xie Qian couldn't help but open his mouth. He wanted to tell Chu Yi that opening the sea and increasing taxes was a disaster for the country and the people, but seeing Chu Yi's eyes that seemed to be able to see through everything, Xie Qian sighed in his heart. Sigh.

Everyone is smart, so why would he say such words against his will in front of Chu Yi?

With a slight smile, Xie Qian looked at Chu Yi and said, "The old man admits that opening the sea and increasing taxes are both beneficial to the country, but has the Governor ever thought about the problem that such a discerning person can see, why the emperor of Ming Dynasty has been so many generations. , haven't been able to do it for nearly a hundred years?"

Chu Yi glanced at Xie Qian calmly and said, "Is Mr. Muzhai going to tell Chu that Jiangnan is a piece of iron, or to tell Chu and His Majesty to be careful about their own safety?"

Xie Qian couldn't help laughing, and while laughing, he said: "I can see that the governor of Chu is also a sensible person. Once the governor opens the sea and increases taxes, most of the Jiangnan will rebel! The governor is credible?"

Without any surprise, Chu Yi nodded slightly and said, "Chu naturally believes in the words of Duke Muzhai, and I also know that you have made both preparations. If Duke Muzhai fails in the capital, then Jiangnan will follow. It will help King Ning to rebel, right?"

Xie Qian listened to Chu Yi's words, stroked his beard and nodded: "I never thought that I could hide from the governor, but as expected, the governor knows everything just as I expected. It's a pity that the old man made a bad move. , actually let Zhengde's child escape, otherwise, you and I will be in different places today!"

Chu Yi's eyes narrowed, even if he thought that the powerful and tyrannical gentry in Jiangnan would jump over the wall to attack Zhu Houzhao, but he never thought that the other party would be so crazy, using gunpowder in the palace, he really almost gave Zhu Houzhao a pit. Died in the Qianqing Palace.

If Zhu Houzhao is really dead, maybe it's really as Xie Qian said, the two are going to live in different places.

"It's a pity, God didn't open his eyes, but let Zhengde's child escape, God's will, God's will..."

Looking at Xie Qian who looked like a madman, Chu Yi couldn't help but sigh in his heart. Xie Qian's ability is outstanding, and he can be said to be the pillar of the country.

Holding up the teacup, Chu Yi gestured to Xie Qian, drank it all in one gulp, and then slowly got up and said, "Someone, please come on the road!"

Immediately, two guards in brocade came forward, wanting to put shackles on Xie Qian, Xie Qian waved his long sleeves, and his expression remained unchanged: "It's a pity that this old man can't see Chu Yi, the day you were tortured!"

Saying that, Xie Qian laughed, but there was black blood flowing slowly from the corner of his mouth. He saw Xie Qian staring at Chu Yi with wide eyes: "The birds are gone, the good bows are hidden, the cunning rabbit is dead, the running dog is cooking, the old man One step ahead, on Huangquan Road, waiting for the governor to drive..."

Gradually, black blood flowed out of Xie Qian's seven orifices, and at a glance, he knew that Xie Qian had taken the poison at some point.

A few disciples on the side were stunned for a moment, and they realized that Xie Qian, who had collapsed to the ground with Qiqiao bleeding to the ground, couldn't help exclaiming, "Teacher!"

Chu Yi watched Xie Qian commit suicide by taking poison, but he was not surprised at all. In fact, how could Xie Qian's behavior of taking poison quietly while drinking tea escape Chu Yi's eyesight.

That is to say, Chu Yi did not stop it, otherwise, it would be strange that Xie Qian succeeded in killing himself by taking poison under Chu Yi's eyes.

Standing beside Chu Yi, Cao Shaoqin couldn't help frowning and said: "Master, this old thief did not forget to sow discord when he was dying, so let him die like this, it's really cheap for him..."

There was a slight smile on the corner of Chu Yi's mouth, and he said indifferently, "He is also a veteran of several dynasties. Even if he dies, he has to preserve a bit of decency.

Cao Shaoqin said: "The governor is benevolent, and if he were to be a slave, he would definitely slash this old thief with a thousand swords!"

Waving his hand, Chu Yi said, "Take the person away!"

Several of Xie Qian's disciples and Jiang Mian's relatives were put in chains and shackles one by one, and they were escorted out of Jiang's house by Jin Yiwei and Dongchang Fanzi.

Although everyone had already guessed that Chu Yi must have come here to raid the family and destroy the family, but Chu Yi and others have never been seen, and everyone can't help but guess. Couldn't help showing excitement.

As the saying goes, watching the fun is not too big of a problem, and it is not about oneself hanging up high. If you can see a pavilion elder being raided and his family destroyed, I am afraid that there are not many sympathetic people.

When Mu Zhai Gong's body was carried out, there was a lot of discussion, and even the excited people suddenly saw the dead man, but they were all stunned.

Many people watched in horror as the seven orifices bleed, and the poisonous blood dripped to the ground.

"This... this is too miserable!"

"As expected, he is the Governor of Chu!"

"Who is this old man, why does it look like he committed suicide by taking poison!"

Chu Yi went out in person, not only attracted many people to watch the fun, but also alarmed many scholars.

Especially in the past few days, with the news that the Zhu family has been escorted to the capital, it can be said that all the scholars around have poured into the capital one by one, trying to unite and beg the emperor to spare the Zhu family.

Therefore, in the capital at present, there are many scholars around the capital.

These scholars are really keen on Chu Yi, and it can be said that in their cognition, Chu Yi's notoriety is almost comparable to Zhao Gao, who chaotic Qin, Gao Lishi, who brought disaster to the country, and others.

Now, they are in the crowd watching the old family members of Tangtangge being shackled and escorted out one by one. When the body of Mr. Muzhai was carried out, some scholars soon recognized Mr. Muzhai.
