Chapter 20: Checks and Balances
Feng Wuxian was only temporary, which made Chen Lingcheng go to Luo's house to check Luo Yunqian's condition, but it was okay not to see it, at a glance, Chen Lingcheng actually said that the head of the Luo family was plotted by someone, and it was by no means an ordinary serious illness. This discovery made Feng Wuxian suddenly feel a sense of powerlessness, he felt that there seemed to be an invisible hand manipulating everything, that person provoked the **** in Fujian today, if he hadn't dealt with it properly, I am afraid that he would have fallen into the trap that others had already set at this time.
Luo Shijie was stunned for a while, and then he spit out a sentence with difficulty: "The head of the family, can the head of the family be cured?" ”
"It's hard to say." It was Chen Lingcheng who spoke this time, "Although the old man knows that this is an extremely rare poison in Miao Jiang, he has only heard of the solution, and he is not completely sure, besides, he ......" He suddenly stopped speaking, and his face was not very natural.
Of course, Luo Shijie knew that in this situation, it was rare for the Luo family man to save his life, and it was a joke to talk about the illness of the head of the family, but he still saw a clue from Feng Wuxi's subtle attitude. If this prince really wants to kill the Luo family, it seems that he doesn't need to mention this matter to himself at all, maybe there will really be some turning point? "When the head of the family is still healthy, he has always been deferential to His Highness, please be merciful and save him! Sinners plead with you! As he spoke, he bumped into each other again and again, and under the fatal impact, the bluestone ground was stained with Yin Yin's blood.
"O loyal one!" Feng Wuxian sighed lightly, "Xiao Fangzi, you go and help him up." Seeing an old man in his last years being tortured like this, he still couldn't bear it.
"Your Highness, you agreed?" Luo Shijie exclaimed in surprise, and shook off Xiao Fangzi's hand to support him, "The sinners know their identities, so it's better to reply on their knees, but it's good to ask His Highness to give him a clear sign." ”
"This king can promise you to try his best to save Luo Yunqian, but the result cannot be guaranteed." Feng Wuxian glanced at Chen Lingcheng and considered his words, "But, Luo Shijie, you must tell this king, who is Luo Yunwen secretly colluding with in the capital?" ”
Hearing Feng Wuxian mention the thief, Luo Shijie's anger could no longer be hidden. If it weren't for his weakness before, how could he be so easily allowed to sit in the position of acting head of the family? "Luo Yunwen has always been secretive, and few people in his family know about his affairs." Although he wanted to say something, he thought about it, and Luo Shijie couldn't find anything useful, "Luo Shijie has a few henchmen at home, maybe they know something." ”
"Can you guarantee that none of these henchmen escaped?" What Feng Wuxian was afraid of was that Luo Yunwen had prepared something, so he took care of the Luo family's mansion, and he didn't even let go of a few secret tunnels, after all, Guo Hanjin and Lu Simang also knew a lot about the Luo family over the years. "The matter of this king's suppression of the Japanese has spread widely, and it is difficult that Paul Yunwen did not make all preparations."
"Your Highness, rest assured, only two of Luo Yunwen's henchmen happen to be out, and the criminals happen to know their whereabouts." Luo Shijie replied without thinking, he keenly felt that as long as he could catch the backstage of Luo Yunwen's collusion, this prince might let go of the Luo family, "Your Highness quickly dispatched troops, and you should be able to catch those two." ”
"Good!" The wind stood up without a trace, "This king will send someone to do it immediately." Luo Shijie, whether the Luo family can escape this catastrophe depends on whether your words are false or true. Absolutely not, he ordered him to go down and detain him in solitary confinement, and then make plans when the matter is completed. ”
The people of Fuzhou have become accustomed to the days when officers and soldiers are running around the streets, and these days, from time to time, there are teams of soldiers searching for spies who have colluded with the Japanese bandits, and as long as they identify those who are related to the Luo family, they will all be sent to prison first.
"Look, it's taking people again!" A few vendors setting up stalls couldn't help but be frightened again, these soldiers were used to the rampage, and they didn't want to do business today.
"Heavens, it's the guard of Lord Chincha!" A passer-by exclaimed, and immediately covered his mouth, even the blind could see that these people were different from the officials of the priest. Several pedestrians in the middle of the road hurriedly avoided it, and the timid child even cried, and everyone was shocked in their hearts, what was it that could make that prince dispatch such an elite? The cold wind blew quietly, and people couldn't help but shudder.
The answer soon came out, and a group of soldiers dragged out a young man from a house, gagged him in twos and twos, and tied him up in a knot, and then a man who looked like an officer came out with a large pile of papers. The soldiers came and went as fast as they could, and in an instant they were all gone, except for the seal on the door that showed the fate of the master. A few good things couldn't help but come over to take a look, and as expected, what was written on it was also collusion with the Japanese Kou.
"Chen Laosi is such an honest man, how could he collude with the Japanese Kou, isn't this bullying good people!" A posterior is angry.
"What do you know about your little kids?" An old man reprimanded, "Isn't it collusion with the Japanese Kou, Lord Qincha can use it to send all his own personal guards?" His sin is definitely not light, don't look at the fourth master Fang was implicated yesterday, and people just came politely to invite the officials, how can there be such a big pomp! ”
"Chen Laosi used to be an errand in the Luo family, I heard that he was under the hand of that Luo master, why did you say he entered the class?" A middle-aged man with a thin face threw out a sentence disdainfully, "Standing on the wrong team, that's the end!" ”
A group of Shengdou Xiaomin couldn't help but look at each other, they all knew that the middle-aged man was a showman, and he had read a book, so he didn't talk much anymore, and quickly dispersed after a few words, who wanted to put himself in it.
Guo Hanjin and Lu Simang looked at the pile of documents in front of them with surprised expressions, no one knew where Feng Wuxian found them. When raiding the Luo family, Ji Chang almost searched the Luo family up and down, but found nothing, and the two could only wait for the bad news to come with anxiety, who expected Feng Wuxian to find the whereabouts of the things so quickly.
"There is no way for this king who has been sent to the capital, can you see if these things are fake?" Feng Wuxi's expression was much more soothing than before, and he obviously let go of a concern.
Guo Hanjin and Lu Simang hurriedly flipped through the pile of things, and for a long time, both of them breathed a sigh of relief, "Your Highness, according to the memory of the lower officials, except for four or five letters, the rest of the things are here. Guo Han carefully gathered up his pile of things and replied gratefully.
"It's the same here under the officials, it's barely complete." The handle was finally retrieved, and Lu Simang only felt that the big stone in his heart had fallen, and he admired the means of the wind without a trace.
"Don't rush to pack up yet, do you know where these things came from?" Feng Wuxian asked lightly, "These things are your handle, and they are also the handle of those big people in Beijing, and they are also the handle of countless wealthy merchants and landlords in Fujian, and it is unknown whether Luo Yunwen has rubbed some of them, so don't be too happy." ”
Guo Hanjin and Lu Simang couldn't help but be shocked, both of them were smart people, they couldn't hear the warning inside, and their hands that were still collecting the letters just now also stopped. Guo Hanjin asked embarrassedly: "It's the lower official Meng Lang, since His Royal Highness can get these secret things, he must have a different opinion on the Luo family's disposal?" ”
"If the Ba Min Yue family is dominant, what do you think my father will think?" Feng Wuxian asked rhetorically, "Leaving a Luo family that hurts the vitality, but can balance the Yue family, is only good for Fujian, not harmful." Just push the charge on Luo Yunwen, and then confiscate part of the Luo family's property to compensate the villagers who were looted by the Japanese bandits, and the good reputation of your three giants in Fujian will really be erected. After this catastrophe, I believe that the Luo family will also restrain a lot, they know a lot about the situation of the Japanese invaders, and it will also help to suppress the Japanese invaders. "Although it is extremely shameful for the Luo family's original behavior of colluding with the Japanese invaders, it is too extensive to uproot this deep-rooted big family, and it is better to ruthlessly execute a few first evils. The people are like this, killing too many people will only think of the cruelty of the superiors, it is better to use the Luo family's property to appease them.
Luo Yunwen has been isolated in a new cell for five full days, and for five days, there has been no arraignment, no torture, not even a single person who can speak. Every day's meals are delivered from a small window, which is nothing more than some ordinary vegetables, which makes him extremely dissatisfied with being served by others. However, the fear in his heart grew more and more, and this strange situation made him wonder if the other party was going to lock him up for the rest of his life, after all, he had told the two henchmen that if the news of torture or execution came, he would spread the word, and now there was no way to do it.
The iron door suddenly opened without warning, this was the first time Luo Yunwen saw the lights of the outside world in five days, and these days, he spent all these days in the dark. "Luo Yunwen, Your Highness wants to see you." Xu Chunshu glanced at this ruthless person with disdain and shouted loudly.
Finally came, Luo Yunwen chuckled in his heart, whether he was dead or alive, it depended on whether he could make a deal this time. Thinking of that mysterious big man, a little hideous appeared on his face again, he had done so many things for him and contributed so much money, he would definitely not sit idly by and watch himself die in vain.
"Master, there are already many people in the Luo family who have been imprisoned, do you need to ......" Tianyi first reported the situation one by one, and then asked cautiously.
"I don't need to." The mysterious man shook his head and said, "Tianyi, you are good at everything, but you don't know how to use your brain, the emperor is waiting for someone to jump up and make a bird, why should this seat take such a risk for a mere Luo family." The money has been made enough, Luo Yunwen has always only contacted you, how does he know who is behind the scenes? He deserves to be dead, this person is simply a mud dou who can't be supported, and people with such great ambitions are the most difficult to control, and this seat is to take this opportunity to get rid of it. Originally, the intention of this seat was to stir up the situation, so that when the emperor became a prince, the trouble would be even greater, and now there was a commotion in the palace? ”
"The Lord is wise!" Tianyi hurriedly agreed, but he was terrified in his heart, that Luo Yunwen had done so many things for his master, and in the end, this master would not be saved when he saw death, and he would have to be more careful in the future.
