Chapter 188: On the Desk

The errand of leading the team to arrest people finally fell into the hands of Chen Xiaoting.

This is the benefit of dangling in front of the leader all the time, and the first thing that a leader thinks of is you.

During this period of time, because Chen Xiaoting was reliable, Zhou Wenzhu relied on him very much, and this time was no exception.

Most people in the world despise those who meet the officials, thinking that these people can only slap the horse, but they often ignore that some of them are indeed extremely capable.

Chen Xiaoting was precisely based on his ability, so when Zhou Wenzhu assigned him the errand, in the face of the jealous eyes of some colleagues, he walked out of the lobby of the hundred households and felt calm.

Soon Chen Xiaoting's men were assembled, Chen Xiaoting didn't say anything, and rushed directly to Chen Licheng's mansion.

It stands to reason that Chen Xiaoting should also go to the government office to have a look, but this morning, Xiao Dacheng, the captain of the government office, reported that Chen Licheng did not go to the government office.

Since he is not in the mansion, Chen Licheng has only one goal, which is located in Chen Licheng's mansion in Beicheng.

The hundred households were in Beicheng, so it didn't take ten minutes for Chen Xiaoting and his party to rush to the outside of Chen's mansion.

At present, the evidence is conclusive, although he is arrested as a six-grade official, but the pressure in Chen Xiaoting's heart is not very great.

The pressure is not very great, which means that there is still it, even Chen Xiaoting is like this, and the lieutenants below will only be more nervous.

It has been many years since the Guangde Baihu Office arrested a civil official of this grade.

Therefore, on the way, Chen Xiaoting kept emphasizing to the lieutenants that this time to arrest Chen Licheng was the meaning of Dongchang, which was equivalent to the emperor's meaning.

After Chen Xiaoting's explanation, no matter what they thought in their hearts, everyone at least showed their enthusiasm on the surface, as well as the arrogance that belonged to Jinyiwei.

"Wang Ping'an and Wu Jun, you take people to the back door of Chen's mansion, don't let anyone go......"

Looking at the tall lintel of Chen's mansion, Chen Xiaoting said indifferently: "Except for Chen Licheng himself, if others forcibly escape, you can dispose of it yourself!"

This means that except for Chen Licheng himself, everyone else can escape and kill them directly.

Wang Ping'an and Wu Jun went down with their respective men, while the remaining thirty or so people blocked the door of Chen's house, waiting for Chen Xiaoting's order.

After estimating that Wang Ping'an and the others were already in place, Chen Xiaoting said to Zhao Ying: "Knock on the door, the others are ready to enter over the wall!"

If you knock on the door and don't open it, you can't stand outside the courtyard wall and wait.

Zhao Ying pulled up the knocker and smashed it, and suddenly there was a rapid sound of slamming the door, and at this time, the part of the captain who climbed over the wall and entered also jumped onto the wall with mutual cooperation.

After Chen Xiaoting nodded his head, those people on the wall turned into the Chen Mansion, and they would control the Chen Mansion as soon as possible.

Just when Chen Xiaoting was waiting for the person who turned in to open the door, the door of Chen's mansion was opened, and an old man dressed as a domestic servant appeared inside.

Along the crack in the door, Zhao Ying's knife reached in, and the blade was placed on the old servant's shoulder.

"Jinyiwei is doing things, don't move!" Zhao Ying said in a deep voice.

And the lieutenants next to him pushed the gate of the Chen Mansion open and all poured in.

Naturally, someone controlled this servant, and just after climbing over the wall to enter those people, two people had already come to the gate of Chen's mansion, but unfortunately the door had already opened.

"Where is Chen Licheng?" Zhao Ying asked the old servant.

The old servant was just a janitor, and he was so frightened that he only pointed inside...... On the inside! ”

It's good to be in there...... Chen Xiaoting breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and then led people to the house.

Surrounded by Zhao Ying and others, Chen Xiaoting and his entourage went to the Chen Mansion with murderous spirits.

At this time, Zhao Ying was beside Chen Xiaoting and said, "My lord, Chen Licheng can't run away!"

Chen Xiaoting didn't speak, and he couldn't be careless until the matter came to an end.

Before entering the second courtyard, Chen Xiaoting looked at the captains who had arrived, and drove the old and young of the Chen family out of the room.

At this time, the family members of the Chen family were all driven to squat in the courtyard, and a group of female dependents cried in fear.

But after Chen Xiaoting glanced around, he didn't find Chen Licheng's shadow, which made him feel bad.

If the boiled duck flies, then Chen Xiaoting's errand today will be messed up, and there are many people in the yamen waiting to see him laugh.

"Where is Chen Licheng?" Chen Xiaoting asked coldly, his tone was already full of murderous intent.

At this time, a lieutenant ran out of the courtyard further along, and said in a loud voice: "My lord, Chen Licheng is inside......

Hearing this, Chen Xiaoting breathed a sigh of relief, but then the lieutenant said, "But it's already dead......

Chen Licheng is dead? Chen Xiaoting was a little stunned when he arrived for a while, why did such a key person die?

It was also at this time that Chen Xiaoting discovered that some people in the Chen family had already put on filial piety clothes.

This shows that the Chen family knew that Chen Licheng was dead, so he walked quickly to a woman, grabbed her by the collar with one hand and slipped her up.

This woman is about 20 years old, and she has been married to Chen Licheng as a concubine for several years.

Chen Xiaoting slapped her in the face, and only then did she calm down.

"How did Chen Licheng die? When did you die? Chen Xiaoting asked sharply.

Chen Licheng died, he was more anxious than anyone else, this errand fell on his shoulders now, when the time came

Frightened by Chen Xiaoting's vicious appearance, the woman replied tremblingly, "Old ...... Sir, he's in the study...... Suicide! ”

Looking at this woman's disgraced appearance, Chen Xiaoting didn't have the heart to pity the jade, and then asked, "When did you die?"

The woman was frightened and said, "It won't be long...... It's only a moment! ”

Not long after he died, Chen Xiaoting felt a little solemn in his heart, Chen Licheng's death was too timely.

Could it be that someone leaked the news?

This idea just came out, and it was vetoed by Chen Xiaoting, because Yang Yuanjiao's interrogation was extremely confidential, and no one could pass on the news inside and outside.

After letting go of the woman, Chen Xiaoting turned around and said to the captain inside: "Lead the way, go see Chen Licheng!"

It can be seen that Chen Xiaoting is in a very bad mood, no one is talking nonsense at this time, and even the Chen family's crying is a little quieter.

Chen Licheng died in the study, and when Chen Xiaoting arrived with someone, he found Chen Licheng lying on the desk.

When I looked up, I saw a rope hanging from the beam, and under the rope was a stool that had fallen to the ground.

Chen Xiaoting asked left and right, "Who put him down?"

Facing Chen Xiaoting's questioning, Fang Cai told the captain to step forward in panic and said: "Lord Hui, Chen Licheng was lying on the table when his subordinates came in, and I think it was the Chen family who put it down!"

The Chen family knew that Chen Licheng was dead, and it was normal to put him down and place him.

But he didn't even have time to dispose of the rope and stool, which showed that the woman didn't lie, and Chen Licheng had indeed died not long ago.

Chen Licheng is dead, and all clues are broken......

Chen Xiaoting didn't know how to explain to Baihu and Huang Ting, although the responsibility was not his.

"Your Excellency...... Let's take Chen Licheng's corpse back and pay it back? Zhao Ying asked at this time.

Chen Xiaoting slowly turned his head and said to Zhang Ertie, who was standing beside him: "You go to the Baihu Office quickly and inform Gonggong Huang and the Lord Baihu of this matter!"

Immediately afterwards, he said: "Zheng Ding took someone to search the Chen Mansion to see if there were any suspicious points!"

At the same time, Chen Xiaoting also said: "Zhao Ying took someone to interrogate the Chen family to see what was abnormal!"

A series of orders were issued, and everyone moved, but Chen Xiaoting stayed in the study.
