Chapter 276: Several Forces
In Chenjiaji's Lin Mansion, Chen Xiaoting searched for a large number of weapons, and finally tortured Chen Benxian behind the scenes from Zhang Daquan's mouth.
This is the first time that there has been direct testimony to prove that Chen Benxian and the White Lotus Sect anti-thieves colluded.
With this alone, Chen Xiaoting could directly arrest Chen Benxian, and before that, he had to rush back to Guangde Mansion City first.
Chen Jiaji's accident here will definitely leak the news, so Chen Xiaoting specially sent someone to return to Guangde first to remind Zhou Wenzhu to guard against Chen Benxian in case he jumps off the wall in a hurry.
And Chen Xiaoting alone, with Zhang Daquan and the weapons they found, rushed to Fucheng as fast as possible.
A day later, when Chen Xiaoting rushed back to Wu'an with one day left, Zhou Wenzhu had already asked people to put the outside of Chen Benxian's mansion under martial law and not allow him to enter or leave.
Jin Yiwei's heart was fast, and Chen Benxian, who was beaten, was a little caught off guard, and he was really anxious at this time.
When Chen Benxian sent someone to question Zhou Wenzhu, the answer he got was that the Chen family was arrogant, and the hundred households wanted to strictly investigate all their illegal acts.
Although this seemed ridiculous, Chen Benxian preferred to believe it, because he felt that the secret of his White Lotus Sect could not be discovered.
And the three families of Duan Houning in Fucheng, when they learned that the Chen family was controlled by Jinyiwei, they were all mixed with joy.
The good news is that the Chen family, a big Mac, may be in decline, and the worry is that the Chen family's today is likely to be their tomorrow.
But they only did one thing, that is, they reported this time to the Guangde government, hoping that the government could mediate.
The prefect Li Changshan was worried about the serial murder case, and now there was another incident of the Chen family, which made him feel a headache.
In the end, Li Changshan still had to inquire about this matter, after all, Chen Benxian was a gentry with the highest prestige in his Guangde Mansion.
So Li Changshan found Zhou Wenzhu, and then the two had an argument in the lobby of the hundred households.
Although it is said to be a dispute, it has always been Zhou Wenzhu who has taken the initiative, thinking that he can be unreasonable.
Therefore, Xiucai met the soldiers, and it was unreasonable...... In the end, he failed to persuade Zhou Wenzhu to withdraw his manpower, and Li Changshan could only walk away.
On the seventh day of December in the sixteenth year of Yongzhi, Chen Xiaoting and his entourage finally returned to Guangde.
But they looked tired, and some of the people in their entourage were injured because they had been attacked on the road.
The main purpose of those who are unknown to attack is not to save people, but to kill people.
Eight people were brought back with them, but five were still alive after the attack, two of them still wounded.
Therefore, Chen Xiaoting was originally happily rushing back, but after this incident, his mood became bored.
When they returned to the Hundred Households, Chen Xiaoting immediately brought Zhang Daquan and his confession to the Hundred Households Hall, and the weapons that were found were piled up in the front courtyard.
"My lord, there are people and physical evidence, we can arrest Chen Benxian, the White Lotus Sect thief!" Chen Xiaoting said in a deep voice.
According to the existing conditions, Zhou Wenzhu could indeed give an order, but at this time he still said: "Chen Benxian is the head of the local noble family, and attacking him will cause an uproar!" ”
Hearing this, Chen Xiaoting thought that Zhou Wenzhu was scared, but then Zhou Wenzhu said: "Do you know that Lord Qianhu is going to deal with Han Yu, not Chen Benxian!" ”
This is of course the most important point, and if Chen Xiaoting can't connect the two now, Zhou Wenzhu will be more cautious in his choice.
So Chen Xiaoting said: "My lord, Han Yu instructed Liu Yucai and others to mess up Guangde, and Chen Benxian, as the leader of the White Lotus Sect, also instigated people to mess up Guangde!" ”
"There must be a connection between these two people, as long as Chen Benxian is taken to our prison, there is a way to ensure that he speaks!"
There are so many kinds of torture in Jinyiwei Prison, just pick a few things and it is enough for people to bear them, how can Chen Benxian withstand it.
After listening to Chen Xiaoting's words, Zhou Wenzhu really made up his mind.
In fact, he always knew what to do, but now he needed someone to say it for him, so he immediately said to Chen Xiaoting: "You have always done this, and Lord Qianhu has always trusted you, so I will leave this matter to you!" ”
To be honest, this errand is a bit hot, and Chen Xiaoting doesn't really want to take it.
He had accumulated enough hatred among the scholars, and some of them were going to become officials in the future, and it was difficult to say that they would not cause him trouble.
And this matter itself is also very tricky, Chen Benxian's mansion is not Chen Jiaji's Lin Mansion, and the strength of the guards in his mansion is also very strong.
In other words, it is much more dangerous to enter the Chen Mansion, and this big thief hidden in the Guangde Mansion may be even more difficult to deal with than Gao Shijie at the beginning.
So Chen Xiaoting immediately stretched out his hand and said, "My lord, I still need support, and I ask your lord to agree!" ”
Zhou Wenzhu didn't shirk either, and replied: "How about letting Zhang Cheng and Gou Mingan follow you to do things?" ”
What else, can you still refuse? Chen Xiaoting was slandered in his heart.
"Humble command!" Chen Xiaoting replied.
In other words, Chen Xiaoting had just come back from outside, and he was going out again immediately after receiving a new errand.
But now that the Chen Mansion is under control, Chen Xiaoting is not too anxious, and he has to let his subordinates rest and recuperate.
When Chen Xiaoting said goodbye and left, Zhou Wenzhu picked up Zhang Daquan's confession, and then got up and walked to the front yard.
But when he saw a pile of weapons in the courtyard, he was even more confident in his heart, and no one dared to be contaminated with the charge of rebellion.
It is not difficult to arrest the people in Chen's house, and it is not so simple to say that it is simple.
Zhou Wenzhu handed over this matter to Chen Xiaoting to do, just to show his respect for him, which was also done for Shen Yue to see.
As Chen Xiaoting said, as long as Chen Benxian is sent to prison, then those who should confess will definitely confess.
"Now that the human and material evidence are there, I see what else Li Changshan can say!" Zhou Wenzhu said in a low voice.
Then he loosened his brows and said to the accompanying lieutenant: "Get ready, go to the mansion!" ”
As one hundred households of one hundred households, going to the government office is definitely a big event, because the meaning is too rich.
But in Guangde Mansion, it is not only Li Changshan who is concerned about this incident, but also the people secretly sent by Han Yu.
When he found that the atmosphere in Guangde Mansion was not quite right, and Chen Xiaoting had pointed the finger at Chen Benxian, Han Yu finally couldn't sit still.
But before the situation was clear, Han Yu would not directly stop Chen Xiaoting's actions, but only sent someone to monitor Chen Xiaoting at all times.
In the afternoon of the same day, when Chen Xiaoting rushed to Chen's mansion with a large group of people, Zhao Yongming, who represented Han Yu, also secretly led people to follow.
Whatever the hell it was, it was time for them to intervene.
As an enemy, sometimes you don't need to think too much, you just need to stop your opponent from getting things done.
At this time, the Chen Mansion was surrounded by the lieutenants, and it became an absolute dead land, and the entire Chen Mansion seemed to be a lot depressed.
The three Duan Hou Ning families, who had been working hand in hand all along, completely shrunk their heads at this time, and they didn't even send anyone over to take a look.
The one who was in charge of guarding the main gate of the Chen Mansion was Xu Chengwang, the chief banner, and there were two other small flag officials, and their faces were also solemn at this time.
This is the Chen family, a place where most people in the hundred households dare not come nonsense, but now they have fenced off the house.
Because they don't know or know too little about the struggle at the top, they only have one thought at this time, that is, this errand is not easy to do.
It wasn't until Xu Chengwang received the news that Chen Xiaoting was about to come to host the event that Xu Chengwang was really relieved.
Now all he needs to do is wait, and when Chen Xiaoting comes, he will be relieved!
