Chapter 35 Arrest by Order
There are many major events in the capital today.
First, there was news in the palace that the emperor was going to draft the draft in advance.
The news soon spread in the Sansuke region of Kyoto.
The eligible princes and ministers in the family are all planning to select the right girls in the family to send to the draft.
However, at night, the fans of the East and West Factories suddenly broke into the homes of some officials and arrested people vigorously.
Wan Chao led the men to the mansion of Jingzhao Yin Liu He.
They were menacing, and a few guards guarding the door couldn't stop them at all, so they let Wan Chao and the others break in directly.
"Search for me!" Wan Chao said coldly.
When Liu He's wife Liu Wei and his two sons heard the news, they saw this group of black-clothed people who had trespassed into their mansion and searched everywhere.
They still don't know what happened, and they don't even know that Liu He left the mansion in a hurry before.
Liu He's two sons stood up and asked angrily.
"Who are you?!This is Jing Zhaoyin's mansion!Is this a place where you are allowed to go wild at will?!"
Before Wan Chao could speak, a deputy superintendent of the East Factory who came with him smiled and replied first:
"Below is the deputy superintendent of the East Factory, and this is the deputy superintendent of the West Factory.
We came on the orders of the emperor, and because Lord Liu was involved in a corruption case, I specially called him to cooperate in the case. ”
The emperor ordered the East Factory to cooperate with the West Factory to arrest the officials suspected of embezzlement, but Chen Daming was still injured and could not get out of bed, so the task fell to Wang Zhi, the deputy governor who was less injured.
After Wang Jin's incident, Wang Zhi and Chen Daming made up their minds to do a good job for the emperor.
Now is the first task assigned to them by the emperor, but they must be completed beautifully and satisfy the emperor.
Wang Zhi and Wan Chao are not familiar with each other, but along the way, they were ordered to arrest people, Wang Zhi found that Wan Chao acted in a ruthless and direct manner, and he didn't care at all that he didn't offend anyone.
Wang Zhi complained a little about his style of acting.
Now the emperor does not have much power in his hands, and has been suppressed by the Cui family.
When they are subordinates, when they are doing things for the emperor, they shouldn't cause trouble for him, right?
However, this is good, for fear that he will not be able to pull hatred for the emperor.
Now they are coming to Jingzhao Yin Liu He's mansion, as long as they can take people away, why should they offend people with such a tough attitude?
Wang Zhi and Chen Daming have been immersed in the harem officialdom for so many years, and they can keep themselves alive, and they are already human spirits.
Although they have no power or power, they follow the principle of not offending others.
Liu He's eldest son was even more annoyed when he heard this, it turned out to be a group of eunuchs and eunuchs!
What kind of bullshit is that the deputy governor of the king said politely, but he arrogantly let his lackeys search around the mansion.
When did this group of eunuchs become so bold?
Dare not even take their Liu family seriously?
He sneered and said, "What kind of corruption case will my father be suspected of?
Get out of Liu's Mansion quickly! Otherwise, I'll wait for you tomorrow!"
Wan Chao glanced at Wang Zhi with a smile:
"Have you seen it? You are polite to them, they will not take you seriously. ”
Wang Zhi's face stiffened slightly.
Wan Chao said coldly: "Where did Liu He go? If you don't say it, you will be arrested!"
Mrs. Liu said angrily: "Red mouth and white teeth said that my lord is suspected of corruption, what is the evidence?"
"Mother, don't talk nonsense with this group of eunuchs, they are tired of making trouble! Tomorrow, the court will let my father sue them in front of the emperor, and see how long this group of eunuchs can be arrogant!"
Although he said that he was complaining to the emperor, he knew in his heart that he wanted to tell the prime minister.
Wan Chao sneered: "Liu He took bribes and embezzlement, sold his official position privately, and collaborated with Liu Han to sell smuggled salt for huge profits, Liu Han has already recruited all the charges, are you still pretending to be stupid?"
The faces of the three mothers and sons of the Liu family changed, especially Liu He's two sons, who knew about their father's affairs.
Wan Chao found that the housekeeper of the Liu Mansion looked a little wrong, and gestured to the subordinates beside him.
The subordinate hurried forward and pulled out the butler.
Facing Wan Chao's cold eyes, the housekeeper's heart tightened, and his legs trembled.
"Do you know where Liu Heren is?"
The sword was unsheathed and rested against the butler's neck.
The housekeeper's face turned pale, and he nodded hurriedly: "Master, he ...... He went to the Prime Minister's ......"
Cui Mansion.
Liu Hegang, who was full of gloom, explained his intention to Cui Cen and begged him for help, when he heard someone come to report the news to Cui Cen.
"Xiangye, the people in the palace went to Liu's Mansion to arrest Lord Liu. ”
Liu He knelt down and kowtowed to Cui Cen in a panic.
"Teacher, you must save me! now only you can save me......
Cui Cen's face was gloomy, and he said in a cold voice: "Benxiang reminded you a long time ago that your dumb nephew will break into a big disaster sooner or later!"
You don't strictly control him, but you cover him up again and again! You deserve this result!"
Kneeling on the ground is Liu He's regret and hatred in his heart at the moment, if he had known today's result, he would never have promised his eldest brother to rescue people!
But he needs his eldest brother's help to sell illicit salt for profit, and the two families are not only related by blood, but their interests are closely linked.
So on weekdays, I will take more care of my nephew who always causes trouble.
Liu He didn't expect that Liu Yishan would buy a mansion privately and imprison the stolen girl.
After Liang Xiping found out about this, it did make a big fuss.
But later he still pressed it down, and the nosy Liang Xiping and Ma Youyi were also put in prison.
Kill two birds with one stone!
He also secretly rejoiced for a while.
But I never thought that the emperor would know about this!
What's even more unexpected is that the account book matter has also been discovered!
Liu He wept bitterly and kowtowed: "Xiangye, if you don't save me this time, my family will be finished......
You just look at the sake of the lower official who has served you all these years, save the lower official once......"
Cui Cen took a deep breath, although he was angry in his heart, he couldn't really ignore Liu He.
Liu He is one of his confidants, if the little emperor wants to use this to break his arm, he will never allow it.
Cui Cen said: "You stay here first." The books are in their hands, do you know what is written in them?"
When Liu He heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart and nodded hurriedly.
"The lower officials have seen it, and the account book records the income and expenditure of the sale of illicit salt...... And also...... A list of courtesies with various officials. ”
Cui Cen's eyes narrowed slightly, he pondered for a moment, and suddenly smiled:
"That is, your name is not recorded in that account book?"
"No...... But my eldest brother and they were all arrested, and they even confessed their account books, and I'm afraid the others must have spoken out......"
It is precisely because of this that he is so flustered.
Once the eldest brother confesses, the emperor will have more than just the account book.
