Chapter 1688: Foreshadowing
"Protect the young master!"
Yan Hu was Yan Shifan's most loyal nurse, and immediately held a knife in front of Yan Shifan's body, as if facing a great enemy.
The gang of house slaves and villagers looked at the bright yellow holy decree in Lin Run's hand, but they secretly swallowed and spit, but they didn't dare to act rashly.
They can ignore this group of officers and soldiers, and dare to drive Guo Jianchen, the governor of Yuanzhou Mansion, out of the village as they did a while ago, but they dare not ignore this piece of imperial power of the Ming Dynasty.
Lin Runsheng had a righteous face of the country, knowing that he could not retreat and be weak at this time, and seeing that these house slaves and villagers were obviously swaying, he said aloud with great majesty: "I am Lin Run, the imperial history of Nanjing, and I am here to lock Yan Shifan to Beijing to ask for guilt!" Then, he clenched the holy decree with his hand, his eyes firmly locked on Yan Shifan, and asked: "Little Pavilion Elder, this holy purpose is here, do you really want to resist the decree and rebel?" β
Although the imperial power has always been not in the countryside, when the imperial power really points to a certain village, it is like an elephant against an ant, showing the disparity in strength between the two sides.
Lin Run took advantage of the power of the emperor to deter these Yanfu slaves and villagers at once.
Yan Shifan faced Lin Run's hat and immediately denied it: "Lin Ruoyu, you don't talk nonsense here, why did I ever rebel?" β
Although he complained about Jiajing's ruthlessness and unrighteousness, and also thought about breaking away from the land of the Ming Dynasty, he never had the idea of rebellion. Not to mention, he can't succeed at all, his father's reputation will be ruined in one fell swoop, and even his wife and children will be harmed.
"Lock him up!"
Guo Jichen is well aware of his mission, and he has cultivated several henchmen in Yuanzhou Mansion, and when he saw this opportunity, he quietly issued an order.
"Who dares to step forward!"
Yan Hu looked at the group of yacha who pounced, but he reacted immediately, waving a single knife and slashing at the several yacha led by him, and the two sides immediately fought together.
These officials had knives and spears in their hands, and after a few rounds, one of them stabbed Yan Hu with a spear and a bloody hole, and two of them locked Yan Hu's neck with iron chains.
Yan Hu's brain is not bright, but he is a bloody man. Even if he fell to such a point, he gritted his teeth and broke free from the chains and climbed up, already swearing to defend Yan Shifan to the death.
Seeing that Yan Hu was so bloody, a group of house slaves next to him also planned to come forward to help.
Seeing this, Lin Run ordered ruthlessly: "All the soldiers listen to the order!" We are ordered by the emperor to arrest the fugitive Yan Shifan, and anyone who dares to stop it can be killed! β
This......
Seeing that Yan Hu was so loyal to the Lord, the villagers were already ready to help. Just seeing Lin Run's words, he couldn't help but hesitate and looked up at Yan Shifan.
Unlike the usual official errands, this time I came by order of the emperor. It's not that they can't defeat a mere 100 officers and soldiers, but now that they have won, I'm afraid they will be charged with a traitor.
They dared to ignore the officials before, but it was not how heroic they were, but because there was a chief assistant in their village. But in front of the emperor, they don't have the capital to call for the emperor at all.
Strategist Peng Kong also sighed deeply, if Yan Shifan had listened to his advice just now and avoided it, he would still have a glimmer of life, but now I am afraid that it will be difficult to escape.
Yan Shifan faced the "ruthless" Lin Run, and couldn't help but slowly close his eyes, which was simply a slap in the face to him.
After escaping from Guangzhou, he did not think that there would be such a day. It's just that he thought that he would have to wait for his father to be a hundred years before those people would choose to do it to himself.
It's just that he never expected that they would come so quickly, and he was directly caught off guard. Not only did he not survive the new emperor's amnesty, but he also had no chance to escape to the sea with Luo Wenlong.
"Come on! If I, Yan Hu, take a step back today, I will be a bastard of the turtle king! Yan Hu heard Lin Run's words, but he clenched the steel knife and responded loudly.
Seeing this scene, several slaves of the Yan family were ready to move again, wanting to save Yan Shifan together.
"Yan Hu, step aside!"
Yan Shifan opened his eyes and ordered lightly.
He didn't want to resist, but this Ming Dynasty was the world of the Zhu family after all, and everything had to follow the will of the emperor who was hiding in Xiyuan Xiuxuan. If he resists now, he may still have a chance to escape to the sea, but his father, wife and children may be implicated.
"Master, your life is your pick-up, and I will protect you to death!" Yan Hu covered the bleeding wound in his abdomen, but responded like a beast.
"I didn't expect that when things came to an end, only you protected me like this!" Yan Shifan glanced at Yan Hu bitterly, and then turned to Lin Run and said compromisedly: "Lin Run, I'll go with you!" β
When things came to this point, he followed Lin Run to Beijing, which was the best choice. In this way, the Yan family can be saved, and he is just a deserter and will not be beheaded.
Lin Run naturally didn't want to make a big deal out of it, and when he saw Yan Shifan choose to compromise, he was immediately overjoyed. Guo Jichen hated Yan Shifan from the bottom of his heart, and even scolded him: "Bold, is the name of Lord Qincha something that you, a fugitive, can call directly?" β
When Lin Run heard this, his brows couldn't help frowning slightly.
When he first entered the officialdom, it was the most glorious period of the Yan family's father and son, and Wu Peng, the secretary of the Ministry at that time, was the lackey of the Yan family, even if Xu Jie was respectful to Yan Shifan, he actually didn't care about how Yan Shifan called him in his heart.
"It's just a guard dog of the Xu family, do you really think I can't kill you?" Yan Shifan was already angry in his heart, and at this time he looked at Guo Jichen angrily.
Guo Jichen met Yan Shifan's gaze, but he was shocked, and immediately swallowed and spat secretly. It is true that he has Xu Jie's support behind him, but there are still many Yan Party members in the capital, and Yan Shifan really has the means to kill him, a small Yuanzhou Mansion magistrate.
Lin Run stepped forward with several brocade guards and ordered Yan Shifan to be locked up with iron chains. Since he is a speech official, and he has gained fame this time, he will not worry about Yan Shifan's retaliation.
The surrounding villagers and house slaves saw that Yan Shifan was tied up, and they felt a little sympathy for Yan Shifan. The son of the dignified prime minister, the former left waiter of the Ministry of Works, is now a prisoner.
"Yan Shifan, get in the car!"
Guo Jichen saw that Yan Shifan was restrained, and pointed to the prisoner car that had been prepared a long time ago, looking yin and yang weird.
As long as the Yan family is completely down, he will definitely be able to get support soon. Since he was born in a big family in Suzhou City, he must have no relationship with the imperial history, but Xu Jie must have given him a good position as the head of the six departments.
From the official of Yuanzhou Mansion to the head of the six departments, it seems that he is only promoted by two levels, but his power and future are very different.
It was at this moment that there was a sudden movement in the east, and the villagers and domestic slaves there gave way to an aisle.
Lin Run and Guo Jichen seemed to have guessed something, and a trace of worry appeared in the eyes of the two, and they first exchanged glances, and then looked over there.
"Yan Ge is here!"
When the villagers and house slaves saw the comer, they all said happily.
The eighty-four-year-old Yan Song appeared, sat in a soft sedan chair and was carried over. Although he was wearing a winter coat, the first assistant of twenty years made him dare not take it lightly even if he had a body of bones left.
Yan Song is already an eighty-four-year-old man, his legs and feet are no longer convenient, and his eyes are not as clear as in the past, but he can only see people's faces clearly by squinting his eyes.
"Master, it's here!"
After Yan Nian learned the news, he hurried over with Yan Song, but after all, he was still a step too late, and he sighed secretly in his heart, and then reminded Yan Song.
Yan Song squinted his eyes and searched, but Yan Shifan was standing far away, so that he didn't realize that Yan Shifan was standing not far away.
At his age, his only wish is the safety of his children and grandchildren. Although he usually blames Yan Shifan, Yan Shifan is his only son after all, how can he really hope that something will happen to him.
"Xiaguan Nanjing Yushi Lin Run has seen Yan Ge Lao!" Although Lin Run is a Qincha, the other party is considered a first-class official, so he stepped forward and respectfully saluted.
Guo Jichen knew that the Yan family's good days were over, and he would soon be transferred back to the capital, but he stood aside and did not salute, and even despised the old Shoufu who only had a pair of bones left.
"Lin Run?"
Yan Song seemed to think seriously, but he couldn't remember this person for a while, but Yan Nian next to him reminded him, and then he faintly remembered that this was Zhang Zhi's protΓ©gΓ©.
"Elder Yan Ge, this is a holy decree issued by the emperor to the lower officials, and the lower officials are ordered to escort Yan Gongzi back to Beijing, please don't stop it!" Lin Run held the holy decree in his hand and looked fearless.
"Lin Yushi, is this really the emperor's order?" Yan Song had a certain degree of skepticism about this matter, so he earnestly sought to prove it.
Lin Run didn't talk nonsense, he handed the holy decree to Yan Song and said, "Elder Yan Ge, please take a look!" β
"Help me up!" Yan Song didn't stretch out his fingers, but let Yan Nian help him up, and then saluted respectfully: "Minister Yan Song bows to the holy oracle, long live my emperor, long live, long live!" β
Yan Song took the holy decree at this time, but he just spread out the bright yellow holy decree, looking at the content and the big seal on the holy decree, he also had a feeling of powerlessness.
He originally thought that with more than 20 years of conscientious service to the emperor's monarchs and ministers, although the emperor would not allow him to pardon Yan Shifan, he would probably not pursue it again.
But he never expected that the emperor still did not choose to open up to Yan Shifan, and wanted to escort Yan Shifan back to Beijing to ask for the crime.
"Dad, the child is not filial!"
Yan Shifan thought that he not only dragged his father to lose the throne of Shoufu, but now he made his father so sad, but he lost his arrogance in the past, and came directly to Yan Song and knelt down.
Yan Song saw that his son was tied up in chains, and his heart immediately twitched, but he had never seen his son look so embarrassed, and old tears fell all of a sudden.
Seeing this scene, many village women secretly wiped away tears.
"Elder Yan Ge, it is inconvenient for the officials to talk about the details of the details, but the emperor's order is difficult to disobey, please don't stop it! Xiaoge Lao was escorted to Beijing, and what to do with it has to be decided by the emperor! Lin Run was also worried that things would change, and stood up without being humble or arrogant.
Yan Song naturally knew that he couldn't disobey Jiajing's will, otherwise hundreds of people from their Yan family would have to follow Yan Shifan to accompany him to the funeral, so he turned his head to look at Lin Run and said: "My Yan family is loyal to the emperor, and now the rebel son has been, you can take him to Beijing!" But for the sake of the old man's face, please don't embarrass the child on the road! β
"The lower officials must be official!" Lin Run smiled coldly in his heart, and bowed respectfully to Yan Song.
Yan Shifan was frightened in his heart, and pleaded with his father: "Dad, save me!" β
"Dad, even if he has this old face, he will keep you safe!" Yan Song looked at his son like this, and he also had a love for licking calves.
Lin Run escorted Yan Shifan out of Jieqiao Village with his men and horses.
What is ironic is that Luo Wenlong did not hide on the top of the mountain of his Huizhou Mansion, but when he heard the news, he came here to avoid trouble, but instead he fell into a net.
The prisoner car changed from one prisoner to two prisoners, and they only stayed in Fenyi County for one night, and the next day they returned to Yuanzhou Mansion.
Li Yinshi, the prefect of Yuanzhou, saw that Lin Run was really caught by Yan Shifan, and he was very happy in his heart, and took the officials to greet Lin Run's return at the city gate in person.
That night, he ceremoniously entertained Lin Run, and added oil and vinegar to the table.
At the time of parting, Guo Jichen said in a wordy manner: "Lin Yushi, what Fuzun said just now is true, and now is a good time for you to become famous for a hundred years!" β
Lin Run is a smart man, who was able to bring down Shen Kun, the priest of the country, in the past, and then became famous all over the world through the Yizong Fan Lu Mi, here is not only his courage, but also his accurate grasp of the timing.
The imperial court was able to accept his invitation and let him serve as the envoy this time, and there was already that person. The most important thing is that he has already stood on the opposite side of Yan Song by impeaching Yan Shifan.
Before escorting Yan Shifan and Luo Wenlong to the capital, Lin Run adopted the testimony of Li Wenyin, the prefect of Yuanzhou, but he said again: "Shifan's crimes, accumulating not a day, let Peng Kong be the mastermind, Luo Longwen is the wing, the evil sons Yan Hu and Yan Hong are the minions, occupy the city warehouse, swallow the mansion of the sect, seize the civilian houses, and change the palace of Zhu to the family ancestral hall, chisel through the pool of the city to resemble the West Sea, the straight fence and horizontal sill, the Junyu carved wall, and the scale of the majestic court is also." Among the Yuan City, it is listed as the five mansions, the south house Juhu, the west house Juhong, the east house Shaoqing, the middle house Shaozhen, and the Song and Shifan, then live in the prime minister's mansion, recruit the death of the Quartet, for the strong man of the guard, and the etiquette of the seal is also. The treasure of the world, all into his home, Shifan has exceeded the heavens, the sons of each crown southeast, although the rich servant Yan Nian, seeking the guest Peng Kong, the family is also called hundreds of millions, the people are poor and stealing, the reason for this, and the court is not as rich as me. The daughter of Fan Dai, the house of the house, the clothes are all dragon and phoenix, decorated with the treasures of pearls and jade, Zhang Xiang bed, surrounded by gold and gold, singing the night strings of the court, prostituting prostitution, and saying that the court is not as happy as me. Even raising gangsters, recruiting rebels, Dan then felling drums and gathering, twilight is singing gold and solving, clearly called the official house, haunting Jiangguang, robbing the people, his family Yan Shou Er, Yan Yin Yi, etc., Yin raised assassins, killed people at night, robbed people's children, robbed people's money, between half a year old, the incident occurred seven out of twenty. And it contains evil intentions, yin knots, in the court, it is Ning Xian, and the hometown is Chenhao, with the body of one person, and the evil of the total **, although the red clan, there is still a remnant. Yan Song ignored the fact that his son did not go to the army, and asked to move the guards dimly, but he was actually hidden, taking the national law as insufficient to follow, and the public opinion as not enough to compassionate him. Reading his words and punishing them, can he still blame him for not knowing? Knowing it, indulging it, and bending it, this minister said that Song could not be innocent. β
When Yan Shifan was escorted to the capital, the responsibility for Yan Song's guilt was also pushed to the table by Lin Run, which can be regarded as laying a big foreshadowing for the Yan family's great reckoning again.
It was in this ordinary November that such an unusual thing happened in Jiangxi.
