Chapter 170: Lightning Strike
Under the murderous power of Chen Xiaoting and the captains, none of these people around the Yang Mansion dared to move, so they could only bow their heads and wait for Chen Xiaoting and the others to leave.
When it comes to the struggle of this class, it is no longer possible for Chen Xiaoting to arrest all the people unscrupulously as he did with the gangs.
If Chen Benxian and the others are arrested, Guangde Mansion may be chaotic tomorrow, and this kind of consequence is not something Chen Xiaoting can bear.
Crucially, this is far beyond his authority as a small flag officer, and it is obviously not suitable to do so under such unnecessary circumstances.
But if Chen Benxian and these people really forcibly stop them, Chen Xiaoting will not give them any face, and it is very appropriate to arrest people at this time.
It's a pity that Duan Guoan was instigated, and Chen Benxian was not hardened at all, and watched Chen Xiaoting leave with others.
At this time, Chen Benxian and the others who stayed in place were a little embarrassed.
They are also menacing, but they are just here to go through the motions, and they are not as tough as the old men in front of them.
"Brother Chen, Lao Yang was captured by them, what should we do?" Duan Guoan asked at this time.
Although he was the initiator of tonight's incident, the Chen family was the strongest family, and Duan Guoan certainly wanted to take the Chen family as the leader.
Chen Benxian really didn't want to be involved too deeply, he had spent a lot of effort to make himself whitewashed, but he didn't want to become the focus of Jinyiwei's attention again.
So Chen Benxian said: "This matter still needs to be discussed in the long run, and after I find out that the Yang family is in trouble, it is not too late for you to discuss countermeasures!" ”
Speaking of this, Chen Benxian turned around and left directly, not giving Duan Guoan a chance to speak again.
Chen Benxian led people away, Duan Guoan had not finished what he wanted to say, and he was not interested in continuing to say at this time.
Hou Pingshan, the head of the Hou family who had never spoken, said at this time: "Old Duan, this matter really needs to be considered in the long run, and the people of Jinyiwei don't give any face, either Lao Yang has offended anyone, or he really got into trouble!"
Duan Guoan didn't slack off: "But no matter what, Lao Yang is famous for his achievements, and Jin Yiwei will arrest him directly without making it clear, which is inevitably too domineering!" ”
At this time, Ning Youyan, the head of the Ning family, said: "Hasn't Jinyiwei always been so domineering? ”
Although the words were like this, Duan Guoan still found it difficult to accept.
The gentry are always one, and if they can take Yang Yuanjiao away at will today, then they will not be able to go to prison tomorrow?
Although the reality is like this, and it may be useless to resist, Duan Guoan still feels that he still shows an attitude of protest.
Otherwise, if it really becomes a soft persimmon, the people of Jinyiwei will only be more unscrupulous, and the interests of their families will be squeezed even more fiercely.
"Everyone, that's it for tonight!" Hou Pingshan sighed, and then left the Yang Mansion with people.
Looking at Ning Youyan, who was still standing in place, Duan Guoan said: "If Brother Ning wants to leave, please take a few old-timers away, and I still have to go into the Yang Mansion to see the situation!" ”
…………
In the middle of the night, the lamps were lit in the study rooms of many houses in Beicheng.
The arrest of Yang Yuanjiao, as well as the imprisonment of the two major medicinal material families in Fucheng, this series of events stimulated the nerves of many people.
Anyone who wants to take his family to the next level, or who wants to take the opportunity to make a profit, is extremely concerned about this matter.
I have to say that these high-ranking families are well-informed, and the Yang and Liu families have been in prison for only two hours, and these people know as if they are breathing.
Of course, there are also people who have the credit for spreading the news, which shows that the words of the gentry are not groundless.
In the northeast of Beicheng, the house of Chen Licheng, the general judge of Guangde Mansion, is located, and his study is also lit at this time.
Chen Licheng's eyebrows were tightly locked at this time, although he had changed into his regular clothes at home at this time, his official spirit had not diminished at all.
At this moment, a servant came to the door of the study and reported: "Master, Master Duan Guoan, the head of the Duan family, came to visit, saying that he was looking for you for something!" ”
It's coming so soon...... Chen Licheng muttered in his heart, and said, "Please let him in!" ”
After a while, Duan Guoan came to Chen Licheng's study, and there was still a trace of anxiety in his expression at this time.
"My lord, Yang Yuanjiao has entered the Jinyiwei Prison, we didn't stop it!" Duan Guoan said helplessly.
Chen Licheng was not surprised by this news, so he pointed to the chair next to him and said, "Sit down, this official also knows that this is difficult for you!" ”
After Duan Guoan thanked him, he sat down on the chair, and at this time, the servant came in to serve tea.
After the servant went out and closed the door, Chen Licheng spoke: "Yang Yuanjiao has a very secret relationship with you, only when your two families join forces can you gain a firm foothold in Guangde, he will not have a good time with your Duan family!" ”
Although Chen Licheng's words were a reminder, Duan Guoan felt that it was like a threat no matter how he heard it.
But this is indeed true, just as the Lin family and the Liu family have a contradiction as peers, the five major families of Guangde are not as harmonious as they seem.
The plate of Guangde Mansion is so big, after being divided by the five of them, the rest of the family will become opponents if they want to develop the family.
And the deepest contradiction but the least obvious is the Chen family in the first place and the Yang family in second place.
"Yes, no wonder Chen Benxian didn't care about this matter, he also had the idea of falling into the ground!" Duan Guoan said slowly.
These words made Chen Licheng a little surprised, in his impression, Chen Benxian should not be such a short-sighted person, how could he let the Yang family be arrested at this time.
You must know that the struggle of each family is an internal contradiction, and Jinyiwei is an external contradiction related to the survival of all families.
At this point, Chen Licheng was only worried that Duan Guoan and others would not be able to carry it clearly, but he didn't expect Chen Benxian to be confused.
But after thinking about it for a while, Chen Licheng still felt that Chen Benxian would not be so short-sighted, and there must be other reasons for this.
As for the specific reason, Chen Licheng didn't have the time to delve into it at this time, because he had more important things to do at the moment.
I only heard Chen Licheng say: "Old Duan, the Yang family can't let Jinyiwei be ruined, you have to worry about this matter!" ”
The Duan family and the Yang family are a combination of huddles for warmth, and Chen Licheng must emphasize this point in order to make Duan Guoan work more dedicated.
Chen Licheng's mind Duan Guoan could perceive that he was not instructed by this Lord Chen to contact the families today.
But Duan Guoan is not stupid, he can't do this alone, he needs a greater guarantee.
"My lord, my Duan family is weak, wouldn't it be looking for death to fight against Jinyiwei?" Duan Guoan said calmly.
Chen Licheng was prepared for this, so he said: "Don't worry, I will go to contact Lord Futai tomorrow and let him know that the people of this mansion have been arrested and put in prison by Jinyi Wei for no reason!" ”
Speaking of this, Chen Licheng continued: "You also know that Lord Futai and Jinyiwei have never been on good terms, and now that the students under his rule have been framed, it is impossible for him to stand idly by!" ”
Because once he stood by and watched, it would tarnish Li Changshan's upright reputation, which would be very detrimental to his future promotion.
His opponent only needs to grasp this point to press him to the prefect for the rest of his life.
Therefore, when Li Changshan knew about this, no matter what he thought in his heart, at least he had to show his condemnation of Jinyiwei in his attitude.
As long as Li Changshan, the head of the mansion, speaks, the following scholars and village sages can be justified in tandem, and then they can set off another major wave and shoot it fiercely at the Jinyi Wei Hundred Households.
The so-called law does not blame the public, and it is impossible for Jinyiwei to arrest all the virtuous people in Guangde Mansion, unless Zhou Wenzhu goes crazy.
Thinking of this, Chen Licheng smiled slightly: "I will go to unite with the prefect, but the students and sages below, you have to rely on Lao Duan to pass it on!" ”
Hearing this, Duan Guoan was a little relieved, as long as Fuzun stood up and happened, then he would not be the first bird.
"Don't worry, my lord, I'll send someone to pass it on tonight!" Duan Guoan stood up and said.
Chen Licheng nodded, but still said: "This matter is done secretly, once it is launched, it will have a lightning speed!"
