After the banquet, Yu Guangyuan looked drunk and let his entourage help him into the car.

The strange thing is that as soon as he entered the carriage, his eyes suddenly became clear, and he sneered: "In this Hangzhou Mansion, what can you do to me?" ”

Li Xiuwen stood in place, looking at the other party's car in the distance, and also smiled coldly: "If you have something to talk about, is it to warn me?" ”

These two "buddies" who were drinking together just now began to calculate with each other as soon as they turned around.

When Li Xiuwen returned to the inn, it was already noon.

Not long after, Xu Jiang also came back from outside, and he went straight to Li Xiuwen's room.

When Li Xiuwen saw him coming back, he smiled and said, "Is the matter done?" ”

"That's it!"

Xu Jiang replied: "The grain and tea ceremony, the weaving tax and the water and land tariff are all controlled by our people. ”

"That's great!"

Li Xiuwen bowed his head lightly and said: "These three people are guarding Jiangnan, and they are in cahoots with Yu Guangyuan. In addition to managing taxes, they also served as the overseers of the guards. If we don't control them, we really won't be able to catch this Lord Fuzun. ”

In the Ming Dynasty, there were guards from the Beijing Division to the counties and counties all over the country, which were under the command of the capital division and the capital of the five armies, and at the same time subordinate to the military department. At the local level, the Commanders and Commanders were established in the provinces to administer these posts. During the war, the imperial court sent generals to lead the army, and returned to the guard post if there was nothing to do.

The eunuchs who were dispatched to the local area had the responsibility of supervising the army. If he didn't control these three eunuchs who colluded with Yu Guangyuan, Li Xiuwen was worried that once he caught Yu Guangyuan, they would jump over the wall in a hurry, and they would mobilize the officers and soldiers of the guard to kill him.

Xu Jiang said with a strange face: "My lord, our people also caught three small fish. ”

"Little fish?" Li Xiuwen was stunned when he heard this.

"Haha, these three little fish are from Yu Zhifu." Xu Jiang also stopped selling guanzi and laughed.

Li Xiuwen realized that he was not the only one who dared to choose to do it today. When the two of them were drinking in Tingfeng Building, they had already sent out their hands together, ready to stab the "buddy" twice in the back.

Li Xiuwen said with emotion: "This Yu Guangyuan is quite dark, fortunately I started in time, otherwise it would have caused disaster!" ”

When Xu Jiang heard this, he secretly glanced at him, and said in his heart: "No matter how black the prefect is, there is no black adult for you." ”

"Let's go, let's go and meet this lord."

Li Xiuwen thought about it in his heart, and after feeling that there were no more mistakes or omissions, he got up and walked out of the door. Seeing this, Xu Jiang hurriedly followed.

Hangzhou Mansion.

Yu Guangyuan sat alone in the three halls, leisurely sipping tea.

The prefect's yamen is not only the place where the court is promoted to ask questions, but also the residence of the prefect.

The lobby is where cases are heard in public; The second hall is the main place for the prefect to deal with daily affairs; Santang is the daily living place of officials, and some cases involving secrets and those that are not suitable for disclosure are also tried here, and officials can enjoy tea, change clothes and read books here. The courtyards on the east and west sides of the three halls are the residences of the prefect's family.

Originally, Li Xiuwen had that little manpower, and it was easy for Yu Guangyuan to deal with him.

Just bring the officials of the government to subdue it. However, in this Hangzhou Mansion, he is not the only prefect, who can't cover the sky with one hand. Otherwise, if he rashly grabbed people and set them out, God knows what the reaction of the political envoy Si Yamen would be.

Follow yourself to kill the official?

They don't have the guts yet!

Yu Guangyuan was waiting, just waiting for the three town guards to arrive, and the Hangzhou Mansion could only have the final say.

He waited left and right, but the people he sent out did not come back, and he couldn't help but have some doubts in his heart.

It stands to reason that the people I sent out should have come back a long time ago, why is there no news yet?

"Master, it's not good, it's not good!"

Suddenly, there was a cry outside the door. Yu Guangyuan immediately walked out of the room and asked the attendant, "What's wrong?" ”

"Chincha-sama"

The attendant gasped for breath before continuing, "Lord Qincha is here!" ”

"Chincha-sama?"

Yu Guangyuan was stunned when he heard this, and asked, "What is he doing here?" ”

The attendant replied, "It seems that they have come to arrest people." ”

Yu Guangyuan was shocked, and hurriedly asked, "How many people are here?" ”

"Five brocade guards."

"Five brocade guards?"

Yu Guangyuan laughed and said, "You brought five Jinyi guards and you want to arrest me?" It's ridiculous, it's ridiculous! ”

When Li Xiuwen rushed to the gate of the government with others, he saw Yu Guangyuan waiting for him outside the door. Beside him, there was also a group of third-class officials of the government office.

Yu Guangyuan greeted him with a smile, and said with a smile: "Why is Lord Qincha here?" ”

Li Xiuwen also arched his hand and said, "This official is here to handle the case." ”

Yu Guangyuan said strangely: "What kind of case did you handle?" ”

Li Xiuwen glanced at Xu Jiang neatly, and Xu Jiang immediately understood. He took a step forward and said loudly: "Jinyi guards a hundred households, and I am ordered to send Lord Li to inspect Jiangnan." After many investigations, Yu Guangyuan, the governor of Hangzhou Prefecture, colluded with the three major town guards in the south of the Yangtze River to deceive the superiors and conceal the subordinates, embezzle bribes, deduct taxes, and privately set up tax items, causing the people's resentment to boil, and the evidence of the crime is conclusive! During the inspection of Lord Qincha, all military and political lawlessness in Jiangnan can be investigated and questioned! ”

The surrounding officials were in an uproar, how could they have imagined that the prefect had committed so many big crimes?

"Joke! These charges are simply false! Even if the house commits a crime, the adults have no right to intervene, right? ”

Yu Guangyuan sneered again and again: "The order of the saint? You say that I should believe you by the command of God? I am an official of the imperial court, the prefect of the fourth grade, where do you have the power to arrest me? ”

"Lord Yu, are you ready to resist the decree?"

"This government has never seen the oracle, so how can you say that you are resisting the decree?"

Yu Guangyuan shook his head and shouted to those officials: "This government suspects that this person is pretending to be a messenger and plotting against him, take it for me!" ”

Li Xiuwen was stunned when he heard this, this prefect is really capable of, in order to win himself, he can even say nonsense about pretending to be a messenger?

Where can the officials tell the difference between the real and the fake?

Hearing the order given by Lord Fuzun, he immediately prepared to rush up to get people.

"Stop! Who dares to be disrespectful to Lord Chincha?!! ”

Suddenly there was a loud shout in the distance, and everyone followed the voice, only to see a group of heavily armed officers and soldiers rushing towards this side. And the man who shouted just now rushed straight over on a horse, and what he held in his hand was the royal flag!

What kind of person is Li Xiuwen, of course he wouldn't be stupid enough to want to arrest someone with five brocade guards, and what he wants to arrest is still the prefect!

As early as the morning, he sent people, in addition to arresting the three eunuchs, but also asked the Jinyi captain to hold the royal flag to mobilize the officers and soldiers of the Hangzhou Guard to come over in case of accidents.
