Longxi, although there is no such place name on the map of later generations, but it is quite famous in history, Longxi County was founded in the six years of Datong in the Southern Liang Dynasty, and has become the economic and cultural center of southwest Fujian in the Sui Dynasty, its history is even older than Zhangzhou, and the capital city of Zhangzhou is built in Longxi County.

The Longxi Chen family was not originally a great family of official gentry, but from the beginning of Jiajing, the Longxi Chen family has sprung up and become one of the most famous families in the entire Zhangzhou Prefecture and even Zhejiang and Fujian provinces.

The reason for this is because of the sea ban, because the imperial court implemented the sea ban, the merchants on the southeast coast are eager to seek official shelter, so as to engage in smuggling and make a lot of money, and the Longxi Chen family just took advantage of the trend and became the umbrella of the southeast merchants, thus earning huge profits and becoming a well-known maritime merchant in Zhejiang and Fujian provinces.

If from the perspective of development, Longxi Chen's did not make a mistake, although they are for personal gain, but also in disguise to drive the economic development of Zhejiang and Fujian provinces, therefore, Longxi Chen's cluster in Zhejiang and Fujian provinces is a lot, including both local tyrants and gentry, as well as low-level merchants, because of this, they can run rampant in Zhejiang and Fujian provinces.

However, during this time, the Longxi Chen family seems to be in big trouble, and the Chen children who are arrogant outside on weekdays are all nested at home, and they don't even dare to go out, and the stewards and shopkeepers of the Longxi Chen family have also lost their traces, as if they have disappeared, what is going on?

On this morning, a large number of Ming troops suddenly appeared outside the city of Zhangzhou Mansion, and the major yamen in the city did not understand what was happening, and the Ming soldiers outside the city rushed into the city and surrounded the huge Chen family mansion.

At this time, the prefect yamen, the county yamen received a notice that Yang Cong, the governor of Zhejiang, came to handle the case, and all local officials were not allowed to act rashly.

This governor does not deal with the people of the maritime tycoons, which the people in the officialdom of Zhejiang and Fujian provinces basically know, but they did not expect that the governor would dare to directly attack the Longxi Chen family!

What are you kidding?

The Longxi Chen family is a wealthy maritime merchant family, an official family, whether it is in the local area or in the court, there are terrifying forces, move them, look for death!

Of course, Yang Cong is not looking for death, if he has no conclusive evidence, he will not dare to surround the Longxi Chen Mansion with such fanfare, after all, these years are still about the law, the public is public, and the private is private, no matter how much he and the Longxi Chen family do not deal with, he can't use the Ming army to retaliate, since he dares to come, there is naturally a reason.

The Longxi Chen family can be said to be a typical nouveau riche, and they don't know how much profit they have made in the sea smuggling business over the years, and a mansion is actually built larger than an ordinary royal mansion, covering an area of no more than one or two thousand acres.

Yang Cong stood in front of the gate of the Chen Mansion, looking at the golden plaque of the Chen family and the two huge stone lion statues at the door, and couldn't help but show a disdainful sneer on his face.

"Hmph, Longxi Chen family, what a big show."

He didn't want to think about it, when he pointed to the gate of Chen's mansion and said loudly: "Up, knock the door open." ”

, you don't ask people if they can open the door, just order someone to hit it, is there something wrong or what's wrong?

Of course, there is nothing wrong with him, he just wants to take the opportunity to make the momentum bigger and kill the prestige of the maritime giants.

This guy, the soldiers of the Ming army who surrounded the Chen family's mansion didn't know where to get a log more than a foot thick, and carried it and crashed into the gate of the Chen mansion.

There was a loud "bang", and the gate of Chen's Mansion was not knocked open, but the sound spread throughout the entire Zhangzhou Mansion.

The soldiers carrying the logs did not stop after hitting them, they skillfully carried the logs and retreated dozens of steps, and were about to continue to rush up and hit the door, when the side door of the Chen family's mansion suddenly opened, and an old man in his fifties rushed out with a group of family members, roaring angrily: "Slow, what are you doing, is there any royal law?" ”

Wang Fa?

Of course.

Yang Cong raised his hand, signaled the soldiers who slammed on the door to stop, and then said loudly: "This official suspects that your Chen Mansion is secretly hiding important crimes from the imperial court, so don't hurry up and hand them over to this official, otherwise, this official will be polite." ”

Nima, what do you mean to be polite?

You've ordered people to bang on the door, is this still polite?

Also, what kind of private hiding in the imperial court, you said that your name came out, you inexplicably brought people to the nonsense, when the Chen family is easy to bully or how to drop.

The old man angrily pointed at Yang Cong and shouted: "Who are you, don't you be afraid of the court pursuing such nonsense?" ”

Yang Cong said solemnly: "Yang Cong, the governor of Zhejiang, came to the southeast to clean up pirates and pirates, and now, this official suspects that someone in your Chen Mansion has fornicated with the pirates, and if you know each other, you will quickly hand over the thieves who have fornicated with the pirates." ”

It turned out that this guy was Yang Cong, no wonder he looked a little familiar, the old man was stunned for a moment, and then he gave up his hand and said: "It turns out that the governor is coming, and he has missed the distance, forgive the sins, forgive the sins." ”

Yang Cong originally came to slap his face, where would he greet this guy, he said coldly: "Who are you, what is the intention of blocking the way of this official." ”

I!

I'm Sani Naichile!

When did I get in your way?

There is no way, people are officials, and they are big officials, super officials, although the Longxi Chen family is not necessarily afraid, but on the surface, they still can't be offended.

The old man took a deep breath, suppressed the anger in his heart, and then respectfully bowed his hand and said, "Villain Chen Jiudao, see Lord Governor." ”

When Yang Cong heard this, he still said coldly: "Chen Jiudao? Chen Jiudao, the chief steward of the Longxi Chen family? ”

When Chen Jiudao heard this, he could only reply honestly: "It's the villain." ”

Very good!

Yang Cong suddenly raised his hand and said, "Take it!" ”

With his order, a team of brocade guards rushed forward without hesitation, surrounded Chen Jiudao, and tied a knot with three strokes and two strokes.

Chen Jiudao was stunned, what does this guy want to do?

He could only shout as hard as he could: "My lord, my lord, misunderstanding, misunderstanding, the villain has always been law-abiding, there must be some misunderstanding between the adults, right?" ”

When Yang Cong heard this, he snorted coldly: "Misunderstanding? What did you do, are you not clear in your own heart? How many pirates and pirates have you customized warships in the Nantai Shipyard, do you think this official doesn't know? ”

Yes!

He's done it before, and more than once.

He had already received news from the capital, saying that Yang Cong wanted to use the Nantai Shipyard to be unfavorable to the Longxi Chen family and the Zhangpu Lin family, and he thought that no matter how rampant Yang Cong was, he would not dare to come to the Chen Mansion to get people, after all, their Longxi Chen family is an official family, and there are people in the court, and if the emperor does not issue an order to raid the house, how dare ordinary officials come to the Chen Mansion to be presumptuous.

That's why he suggested that the old lady of the Chen family recruit the children of the Chen family, the Chen family's steward, and the shopkeeper back to the house, so as not to be arrested by Yang Cong under the pretext of being arrested.

Unexpectedly, Yang Cong was so rampant that he directly led the army to Chen's Mansion to get people, who the hell sold him, Chen Jiudao was a little speechless.

Seeing this, Yang Cong waved his hand again and said, "Continue to bang on the door." ”

The soldiers who were carrying the logs were ordered to carry the logs together again and slammed into the gate of the Chen Mansion, "Knock, knock, knock." After several loud bangs, the gate of Chen's mansion was finally slammed open.

Seeing this, Yang Cong ordered without hesitation: "Yu Dayou, lead the army into the mansion and control everyone, but if there are those who resist, they will all be tied up." ”

Fortunately, he is not the kind of cold-blooded and ruthless person, otherwise, there are but there are resistors, and there is no mercy!
