Chapter Seventy-Three: Arrested
On the official road more than ten miles away from Hanyang Province, there is a large post station, which is a place for officials and messengers to rest. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Xue Wenfu and his party had been on the road for a whole day and happened to arrive here, so the team stopped and decided to rest at this post station.
"Why didn't Lord Xue go in?" Chen He got out of the carriage and couldn't help but feel a little strange when he saw Xue Wenfu standing at the door and not going in.
"Master Chen, let's go in first, there are too many people, I feel bored, and I won't be too late to go in when Lord Chen chooses the room." Xue Wenfu glanced at him and sneered with a natural expression.
Chen He was annoyed in his heart, but his doubts were put down a lot, and he immediately flicked his sleeves and strode in.
Xue Wenfu watched him walk away, and his expression gradually became serious. He took out the token handed to him by the post station officer when he sent someone to explore the road earlier, and said in a low voice: "The emperor has issued an order for us to catch the criminal minister Chen He, you listen to ......" A few words of explanation, and the accompanying Ouchi guards rushed in one after another to complete their tasks.
The remaining three or four guards were ordered by Allergic Yuan to stay by Xue Wenfu's side to protect him when he was leaving.
After a while, a person came out and signaled that Xue Wenfu could go in.
Xue Wenfu smiled and led someone into the room that Chen He had just entered.
More than a dozen internal guards surrounded Chen He and several of his henchmen, and Yushi, who was still arrogant just now, was completely confused at this moment.
He couldn't come back to his senses, he just asked people to go to the kitchen of the post station to add a few side dishes, and as soon as he was in a flash, a large number of guards poured in to surround him and his cronies, and even the guards on his side immediately turned against him.
Chen He was in a hurry, he forgot that these guards were the emperor's cronies, and they only listened to the edict of the Holy One, and along the way, they were just assigned to him to protect him.
Xue Wenfu walked in with a smile: "Oh, Lord Chen's room is really stuffy, there are so many people in such a small room!"
Chen He's eyes were already red, and he subconsciously shouted: "Xue Wenfu, you are bold! I am a messenger of the Holy Sect, how dare you abuse your power to do such rude things to me!"
Xue Wenfu gave him a look of pity and shook his head: "Master Chen, what are you talking about, good manners, what am I going to do with you?"
Chen He was stunned for a moment, was silent for a while, reacted, his face turned pale, and his voice began to tremble: "What the hell is this...... What's going on?"
While speaking, an official wearing a seven-rank official uniform rushed to the post station with a team of people.
Xue Wenfu nodded at the official, smiled, and said in a deep voice: "The criminal minister Chen He, suspected of corruption and dam repair, more than one million taels of silver, the evidence of the crime is true, now the official is arrested by the holy decree, and he will be temporarily transferred to the Chengping County Government for detention, and when the officers and soldiers sent by the imperial court arrive, Chen He will be released and escorted back to Beijing." ā
Chen He's brain exploded with a "buzz". The evidence is conclusive...... Did something happen to the money in the capital......
How could it be? The shopkeeper of the Yongzhen ticket number had clearly promised that he would receive the money as soon as possible, and Huang Zheng had repeatedly assured him that nothing would happen, and the number one enemy, Xue Wenfu, had been by his side all the time, who was it? Who was intent on harming him?
In the crowd, one of the guards glanced at him and immediately lowered his head.
Xue Wenfu explained a few words to the county magistrate of Chengping County, and the county magistrate was also a straightforward person, so he grabbed Chen He into the carriage and drove away.
Before leaving, Chen He glanced at Xue Wenfu very unwillingly and resentfully, and Xue Wenfu smiled at him gently, not taking it to heart.
Don't do bad things, don't be afraid of ghosts knocking on the door. He has always been frank and unrestrained, and he will not be afraid of such villains.
What's more, this Chen He is obviously already an abandoned son of Song Jingran.
He sat down, took a sip of tea, and looked calm. He knew in his heart that among the guards sent by the emperor, there were many people from Song Jingran, and even in this post station, there was also the eyeliner of the Song family.
But he was so grandiose and caught Chen He frankly, but the other party did not make any moves, which explained two things: first, Chen He's value to the Song family was no longer enough to make up for the bad consequences caused by this incident, and second, the corruption matter probably had nothing to do with Song Jingran, at most, that is, Huang Zheng was a little fishy.
Therefore, according to Song Jingran's methods, Li Yun may only be able to pull down one Chen He this time.
However, it was more or less a good thing for him.
relieved, and the next road will not be so unpleasant. He thought about it, ordered someone to bring pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, and began to write letters to the two people in Beijing.
ā¦ā¦
"Do you want me to take you to see the third prince?" Yi Ying's eyes widened, looking at Lian Jingqian who appeared in her backyard again.
Lian Jingqian nodded calmly, and said bluntly: "Right now, some of my ancestors' old ones are indeed not very easy to contact. ā
Yi Yingqi knotted, what kind of person does this guy think of himself, it is inconvenient for others, is it convenient for her to take a man to the Three Princes' Mansion with a girl's family?
However, she is not an ordinary girl, in the end, she has the title of the county lord, and the restrictions on entry and exit are not as strict as ordinary people.
She took a deep breath and said coldly, "What are you going to do to see the third prince?
Lian Jingqian had suppressed the unease in his heart, and he didn't know why, when he thought of finding someone to introduce himself to the third prince, the first thing that came to mind was Yiying. Although it is a bit clueless, but when I think about it, I think it is the most feasible. Moreover, his trust in her is also growing day by day.
"Well," he nodded, his expression a little unsettled, "I have found the document that recorded what happened at the banquet in the Changxin Marquis Mansion last night. ā
Yi Ying was surprised: "Really? What was going on back then?" She was really curious about that old incident in her heart, and she didn't understand why a famous tiger would instantly become a traitor at a banquet......
Lian Jingqian coughed dryly: "This ......"
"Isn't it convenient to say? Forget it?" Yiying saw that he was uncomfortable, and he was not reluctant, after all, she didn't know anything about it in her previous life, and it didn't have any effect. It's just that there is something mustard in my heart.
Lian Jingqian was silent for a while, and then slowly took out the document from his arms, not that he didn't believe her, but that this matter was so ridiculous to say it, no one could have imagined that his grandfather, who had been galloping on the battlefield for many years, would die for such a funny reason.
"It's okay, you see. ā
Seeing his expression, Yiying couldn't help but be even more curious, reached out and carefully took the fold and unfolded it.
