Chapter 649: Prison and Raid Home
One...... Mouth. Mouth. Bu Yinglong held high the holy decree and broke into Yan Shifan's courtyard, and under the golden holy decree, a cadre of family members guarded the courtyard, and it faded like rolling soup and pouring snow. Only that Yan Jia, feeling so ashamed of the elder pavilion, took out a single knife, blocked in front of Yan Shifan, glared at a pair of bull's eyes and said, "The master of my family has a life." No one is allowed to come forward! ”
"By order, lock up Yan Shimu and return to the case!" Bu Yinglong's gaze crossed the reckless man, fell on Yan Shifan's body and said, "Do you want to resist the decree?"
"Your Yan Shifan's face was hideous. Gritted his teeth and said, "You get out of the way for me."
"Why?. Although a two-grade and a chemical product, but today the holy purpose is in the hands of the seven-grade, and the second-grade is regarded as the dry bones in the grave, and the one who sells the first is inserted into the mark.
Yan Shifan blushed, patted the golden chicken on his chest and said: "I am a second-class member of the imperial court, and I have the right to meet the emperor and plead to the Son of Heaven."
"The Son of Heaven will not see you." Xi Yinglong said coldly.
"Why?. Yan Shifan glared and said, "Even the holy decree can't stop me!" ”
"Hmph, I see you're really dizzy, since ancient times, have there been courtiers who have entered the palace during the period of filial piety?" Gao Yinglong pointed to Yan Shifan's official clothes. Li shouted: "Where is your sackcloth filial piety clothes?" How dare you wear the official uniform of the imperial court! He waved his hand and said, "Come on, take off the official clothes of this disloyal and unfilial person!" ”
"Who bows" Yan Shifan was completely enraged, it was really a tiger falling in Pingyang and being bullied by dogs, his dignified prime minister's son, the second-grade department, was reprimanded by a small seven-grade imperial history, and he had to take off his official clothes. If he really succeeds, then he will be completely swept away and fall into the pathetic situation of breaking the drum and hammering thousands of people.
Sure enough, the tiger was sick and majestic, and he stared at it with one eye, just like a tiger with hanging eyes, so shocked that all the officials dared to do it? In fact, if it weren't for Gao Yinglong, a stupid and bold leader, they wouldn't have dared to come in. But it is already the limit to be able to stand here fiercely, and it is absolutely impossible to let them show any more.
Bu Yinglong's posture was sufficient, but he didn't get a response from his subordinates, and he was greatly disgraced. Waving the holy decree in his hand, he said: "It turns out that you are more afraid of the elder of the small pavilion than the emperor, very good!" Very good! ”
When the officials heard this, they were shocked, and said in their hearts that this Gao Yinglong had even bounced off the old man of the small pavilion, and if he really offended him, then everyone really had no good fruit to eat. All of them looked unbearable. whispered to Yan Shifan: "I'm sorry, Xiao Ge Lao hugged him after speaking!"
The moment those officials pounced, Yan Shifan had already accepted his fate, because he suddenly understood. He has been betrayed by his father and those comrades, and they want to sacrifice him to appease the emperor's anger! Otherwise, it is impossible for me not to get a little news, and I can't be so isolated!
He really hated it, he risked his life to protect them from the wind and rain, but what about them? How can it not be chilling to sell yourself when you are in danger?
Yan Shifan closed his eyes in resignation, and waited until the humiliated Yixuan, but heard Yizhuo yell: "Who dares!" Then there was a sound of fighting. When he opened his eyes, it turned out to be Yan Jia blocking in front of him, wielding the single knife in his hand, and slashing several officials with the back of the knife.
For a while, the officials brandished a single knife and iron chain, but they didn't dare to approach.
Time passed little by little, and Bu Yinglong's expression became more and more ugly, and he said hatefully: "A group of useless things, ask the official Jinyi Wei to help!" ”
Hearing this, Yan Shifan, who had been silent. finally spoke up: "Yan Jia, you step aside!" "It seems that he is not fearless.
That Yan Jia danced a single knife like a madman. While shouting: "Don't retreat, unless I die, no one can touch the master."
Yan Shifan's heart was sour when he heard this, and he was secretly moved: "I didn't expect it to come." Only this idiot is still loyal to me, he has regained his composure, and said: "Yan Jia, don't worry, I will die, no, I will be exiled for eight thousand miles, without your protection." I don't think I'll get far
When Yan Jia heard this, his body stagnated, and he was slashed on his arm, and he was bleeding profusely. I heard Yan Shifan shouting: "Run!" Waiting for me outside the city". Yan Jia howled like a wounded beast. He broke away from the war group and ran to the backyard.
Those officers and soldiers were shocked by his majesty, and no one dared to come forward to chase after him, but they just swarmed up and removed Yan Shifan's black yarn, jade belt, and official robe, leaving only the white gauze and red Jiang Zi, as well as the pair of official boots with a foundation on his feet.
didn't dare to chain him again, but said in a humble voice: "Little Pavilion Elder, please."
Yan Shifan knew that the general trend was gone, and it would only be humiliating to persist any longer, so he looked back and took a deep look at his luxurious courtyard, and a trace of realization suddenly surged in his heart, maybe in this life and this life, he will never be able to return to this dream-like courtyard.
When I got out of the gate, I saw a prisoner cart parked there, surrounded by a black curtain for the sake of the dignity of high-ranking officials. The official opened the car door and asked Yan Shifan to go up, but he looked back at Bu Yinglong and said, "Your name is Bu Yinglong, right?" ”
Bu Yinglong's face tightened, and he said in a low voice: "It's this official, what do you want to do?" ”
"Don't be nervous, I just want to see it. Impeach my big hero. Yan Shifan's laughter gradually turned cold and said: "The big hero who was used as a gunman." It's going to end badly! ”
"I'm miserable, that's for the future." Gao Yinglong said with a gloomy face: "But your misery." Right now. Get in the car, you". As he spoke, he pushed Yan Shifan into the prisoner car.
With a bang, the door of the prisoner's car was closed and locked. Surrounded by a group of officials, he slowly drove away from the panicked courtyard of the East Building and drove towards the Prison Temple.
The prison of the Criminal Department is just behind the Prison God Temple, although it is slightly better than the Jinyi Wei Prison, but it is also like the seventeenth layer of hell and the eighteenth layer of hell, which is essentially the same.
A big man like Yan Shifan is naturally treated preferentially, and in the cell where he lives, not only is the bedding brand new, but also bright and transparent, and there are no cockroaches and centipedes on the ground. But for an hour ago. The officials who are still drunk and dreaming of death in Qionglou Yuyu. Coming here is like falling into hell.
Lost in it for a while, he asked to see Hobin. The jailer who was in charge of serving him hurriedly went out to convey, and after a while, he came back and said, "He Butang has gone out on business." ”
"Sensei, come with me" Yan Shifan didn't take off his shoes, and sat cross-legged on the bed. said: "You go and tell He Bin that if he doesn't show up within half an hour, Lao Tzu can't say something." Let him come in and be my companion. ”
The jailer was so frightened that he hurried out again, and after a while he came back and said, "I have already sent someone to find the department." ”
Sure enough, half an hour passed. An embarrassed He Bin appeared.
As soon as Zhou Bin appeared, everyone withdrew. Leave the huge cell to the two ministers to speak.
Yan Shifan looked at He Bin with an unkind face and said, "I'm really busy, Master He." ”
"Busy is one thing" He Bin sneered: "Mainly at this time, I have to avoid suspicion." I'm afraid that others will say that I will collude with you, so I don't dare to see you old! As he spoke, he also carried Yan Song out and said: "This is what the old pavilion elder meant, he said that when our people on the stage are safe, the pavilion elder will be safe, and the day when he can make a comeback."
"Hmph, it's really for my sake" Yan Shifan let out a sullen breath and said to He Bin: "Zishi, don't be afraid. I, Yan Donglou, am not a person who is not responsible, and I will not involve my brothers. He smiled and said: "I, Yan Shifan, have enjoyed the best life for more than 30 years, I should have died a long time ago, and it is nothing more than killing my head and losing my head, if there is any sin, I will bear it all by myself."
Hearing him say this, He Bin was a little embarrassed and said, "Brother Donglou, don't worry, the brothers will keep you no matter what."
"I came to you to ask" Yan Shifan said: "What does the emperor mean?" Can you give me a letter of approval? ”
"The emperor's meaning should just be to let you leave Beijing for a while." Zhou Bin sighed and said: "But those people in the Xu Party are busy writing impeachment notes, just afraid that if there is another Gao Yinglong or something, things will deteriorate further." ”
Yan Shifan's one-eyed light flashed faintly, and he didn't know what he was thinking, but after a while, he suddenly asked, "Where is my father?" Do you want to resign? He had long wanted to go home to retire, but no one stopped him, but he got his wish. ”
"You misunderstood that the pavilion is old" He Bin said: "The pavilion is old, but it is not a request for glory." Instead, ask for all the fame and treatment, in exchange for you no longer being held accountable by the emperor, they all know it, this matter is not over, since it was put on this way, it is a passive situation where the individual is the knife and I am the fish and meat, and the emperor said that he can't settle the accounts with a pen, and the hard days are still to come.
I heard that my father actually used the fruits of his life's struggle. In exchange for his own peace, Yan Shifan's resentment towards Yan Song was finally not so strong, he looked at the chandelier on the beam, and said a little weakly: "It's useless, I know the emperor's character best, even if you don't kill me now, it's just because of the situation." After a few years, Heng Zhi can't escape this knife
"How could Elder Xiao Ge be so pessimistic?" He Bin said: "The emperor is not a tyrannical king, Yang Sheng'an offended him so badly back then, didn't he suffer from death?" ”
It's not that the emperor doesn't want to kill him, Yan Shifan sneered: "There are several assassins." It's just that there are more people who protect him that he survives. Said with a self-deprecating smile: "I am the opposite of Yang Sheng'an, there are too many people who want me to die, I am afraid that the emperor only needs a hint, and someone will jump out and do it." ”
"If you say so, we'll just have to wait to die." He Bin said with some frustration.
"Wrong!" Seeing that he was wilted, Yan Shifan shook his spirits and said, "I want Yan Shifan's life." It's not that easy! It turned out that his discouragement was pretended to be shown to He Bin, so that this guy knew that the current situation was critical, and only by uniting closely around his Yan Donglou could he get through the difficulties. Create a better tomorrow.
"As long as we survive these few years, as soon as King Jing ascends the throne, the day when we turn over will not be far away." In the dungeon, Yan Shifan continued to cheer up his subordinates: "The pass is, survive this period of time, and you can't let the enemy chase and fight hard." ”
Elder Xiaoge, what do you say...... He Bin nodded and said, "I listen to you for everything!" ”
"The nails we buried in the Xu Party should be moved, Yan Shifan said: "You quickly send someone to send a letter to a few of them" Let them join me fiercely. Whatever you say, the more mysterious it is, the better, and it's better to get involved in plotting rebellion or something. ”
"Huh? Donglou Gong, you won't be dizzy, right? This, exile will be directly changed to Ling Chi! And it will also bring disaster to the godfather, "and your whole family; He Bin shook his head vigorously and said, "No."
"Stupid, I just counted on this book to save my life, how could I kill myself?" Yan Shifan lowered his voice and said, "The emperor is extremely smart. But there is a problem, that is, the suspicion is too big. The reason why those people were able to bring me down this time was because they avoided my father, and even more so the emperor. Beat me up, saying that I was bribed and greedy, and used private individuals, etc. Speaking of this, Yan Shifan couldn't help but sigh and said: "They have the guidance of a master, and now they can hit me to the point." For that kind of impeachment, the emperor can accept it and is willing to believe it, so I must be punished
Hearing this, He Bin nodded frequently and said, "What you said is too reasonable
Yan Shifan's gaze became extremely cunning and said: "But now, if someone makes a big deal and involves the level of party disputes, and the people who participate in me." They are all Xu Jie's sworn friends. In that case, the emperor will definitely be suspicious, thinking that there is an incident between the two parties, and then the matter cannot be judged as right and wrong. And to pay attention to the way of balance, as long as a balance. I'm not in danger. ”
He Bin blinked, thought about it and thought about it, and then he understood, and said with sincerity: "Donglou Gong." I regret now that I listened to Lao Ge Lao, you are our backbone and Zhiduoxing! ”
Yan Shifan said angrily: "Now it's a fart to talk about this, hurry up and do something, so I can get out of trouble as soon as possible." ”
It was He Bin in the confusion, as if he saw the sea ship in the lighthouse, and he felt that he immediately had a direction. With Bentou, he vowed to do a good job of the things that Xiaoge Lao explained.
But no matter how smart Yan Shifan is, no matter how fast He Bin moves, he can't catch up with Emperor Jiajing, who is like thunder, and their secret subordinates are still digging out their hearts to arrange Yan Shifan, and the order to raid Yan's mansion will come down.
Since the official case is involved in corruption, it is also a necessary step to raid the house, so there is no fuss, but this time it was Tu Li, the right attendant of the Criminal Department, and the left Jindu Yushi of the Metropolitan Procuratorate who were silent, and it was for Yan Shifan to set "eight hundred taels." This is very interesting.
Before the copying, the two of them had to have a meeting first to unify their thoughts, Tu Li said to Shen Mo: "Since we set eight hundred taels at the beginning, we can only copy out eight hundred taels, if there are more, wouldn't it be a slap in the face?"
Shen Mo smiled and said: "If that's the case, we won't be able to explain to the emperor, and the officials in the capital will look down on us from now on."
Tu Li didn't know that Yan Fu, who had been in power for 20 years, was in charge of Yan Shifan, who was in charge of the world's projects. If you only copy out 800 taels of silver, you are really treating the people of the world as idiots. At this point, he no longer cares about Yan Shifan, he is only worried about how he will step down if he copies too much silver.
"Yan Shifan has a lot of money, and if you want to eat and take a card, you don't necessarily have to embezzle the public. There is no need to start with the construction of the three major halls. He said silently: "We just need to enforce the law impartially and civilize the house." ”
"What is a civilized copyist?" Tu Li said depressedly: "Is there still a civilized way to raid the house?"
"Of course." He said silently: "The emperor's decree is clear. confiscated the property of Yan Shifan, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, and he has gone out independently. lives in another place, so Yan Ge Lao, as well as the wealth of his two sons who have already become a family, cannot be regarded as Yan Shifan's finances, and should be distinguished from Yan Shifan, and they should be exempted from sealing and inspection
This was acceptable to Tu Li, so he asked the last question: "What if the property found out is far more than eight hundred taels?" That's a certainty.
Shen Mo smiled when he heard this: "I don't have it" The huge amount of property cannot explain the origin. Sin, right? ”
"Not ever." Tu Li shook his head and said, "You mean, we just copy it, and we don't have to worry about anything else, right?"
"Exactly...... Shen Mo nodded and said softly: "This is the benefit that the emperor gave you and me." "As is customary. The things copied out, each of us is divided into two, and the people below are divided into two, and then one percent is dedicated to the backer above, and the remaining half is returned to the treasury.
Tu Li was quite moved when he heard this, he knew how rich Yan Shifan was, even if it was just a copy of Yicheng, he had started to spend a huge amount of money.
So the two reached a consensus and ordered the raid to begin. Then they went their separate ways, Tu Li went to the East Building Courtyard to confiscate Yan Shifan's property, and Shen Mo went to Yan's Mansion. Inventory the property belonging to Yan Shifan.
The reason why Shen Mo took the initiative to take on this thankless errand was not because he was high-spirited. It was because at the same time as receiving the holy decree of copying the family, he also received a secret decree from the emperor, announcing to Yan Song the emperor's reply to his recital!
When he came to the deserted Yan Mansion, he couldn't help but feel a little trance in his heart, although Shen Mo had never visited this mansion, but he passed by. Be influenced by what one constantly sees and hears. Always know how prominent it once was. But in the past, the Prime Minister's Mansion was full of people and traffic, but now it is full of people, and there are only a few soldiers from Shuntian Mansion, standing there expressionlessly, and people who are not allowed to peep at it.
