"There is also a pair of brothers in the Chen family who escaped with their lives! Mr. Nan Lei may not know that when Li Xin first arrived in Yingtianfu, Jiangnan, he happened to save the two brothers in Longtan County. But someone stared at the two brothers and kidnapped the two brothers in Longtan County while they were unprepared. ”

Bang! Huang Zongxi's right hand slammed heavily on the table, and even the inkstone on the table shook the old high.

"Despicable! It's just a matter of taking away people's wealth, and it is hateful to affect children and grandchildren! "Huang Zongxi is indignant in his heart, and he has relatives in his face." Zhenyu Hou, the Chen family brothers, what happened later? He thought that the Chen family brothers had been in a bad situation, but unexpectedly Li Xin sighed.

"Just now, Li Xin found the Chen family brothers who had been imprisoned for half a year in the prison of Yingtianfu!"

This news was too shocking, and it took Huang Zongxi a while to react. "Could it be that the powerful people in the city are behind it?"

Li Xin nodded, he had already guessed this in his heart, and now he only waited for Zhu Yun to collect the required evidence, and then he could make the next move.

"What does the Marquis need to do? Please feel free to speak! can contribute to the wronged, Huang is duty-bound! ”

Li Xin said with a smile: "This matter is not in a hurry, but also conclusive evidence!" As for what is needed for Mr. Nanlei? Naturally, it's your pen that's as fast as a sword! ”

Huang Zongxi suddenly, lifted the pen of the pen stand, and said with a self-deprecating smile: "It is also that the Marquis of Zhenyu cares about these pens, in the eyes of some people, how is it different from scratching the boots, in addition to scolding a few words, what can it do?" ”

"Mr. Nan Lei's words are wrong, and he can't do what he does, so he naturally gets twice the result with half the effort. Now, as long as you get the law, you will get twice the result with half the effort! ”

Li Xin said and looked at Huang Zongxi with a smile, how smart Huang Zongxi was and understood after just a little thought, and immediately laughed.

"The marquis of Zhenyu has a good calculation, if such pickled and dirty things are made public among the scholars of Nanjing, what kind of face do those powerful people have in the city?"

Li Xin shook his head and added to Huang Zongxi's statement: "It is not just to ruin his reputation, but to punish lawlessness, eliminate evil, make the wronged people clear, and let the perpetrators of evil get the punishment they deserve, which is to live up to the word justice!" ”

"What a good one! The Marquis of Zhenyu is so hearted, I don't know how many parents and officials in the world will be ashamed! ”

Huang Zongxi actually stroked his palm and rarely sighed. Li Xin sighed and said: "Mr. Nan Lei is serious, where does Li Xin care about any false name, just holding a lot of power in his hands, and not doing something for the justice of heaven, isn't it an irresponsible move?" ”

"Irresponsible?" Li Xin's statement made Huang Zongxi stunned, it was the first time he heard someone say this, all the officials have made meritorious achievements and fame for the glory of the ancestors, or they put the loyal monarch on the high-sounding surface, as for the responsibility, who is responsible? Court? Commoners? Based on his observation of Li Xin, it seems that it is neither. Although Li Xin disdains evil, he is by no means a moral gentleman, the so-called, responsible for the people, and for the court, it is obviously impossible, so why should he be responsible?

After all, Huang Zongxi is not a roundworm in Li Xin's stomach, how can he know what he thinks in his heart. What's more, even if he is a roundworm in Li Xin's stomach, he may not be able to know Li Xin's true thoughts. With power in his hands, he does have a great responsibility, but what he has to be responsible for is far beyond his imagination.

The next morning, before it was light, stacks of "Gazettes" were taken up by newsboys who came in the starry night, and for every hundred copies of the newspaper sold, they could earn a hundred dollars from it, which was not a small amount, but it was certainly not a small amount for a poor family of several people.

"Sell newspapers! The real culprit behind the fire at Shangyuanmen Military Port has been thoroughly investigated, and the chief soldier Shao Hualong, Fujian ......"

The introduction shouted by the newsboy was so shocking that many people who didn't buy newspapers on weekdays couldn't help but shell out ten dollars to buy a newspaper. Let's see what conspiracy is behind the fire in the military port.

If someone could not afford to buy a newspaper, he would come up and watch the excitement and ask the person who bought the newspaper to read to him what was printed on the newspaper. Unexpectedly, the person who bought the newspaper had a cold face, blocked the newspaper in his hand, and disdainfully reprimanded: "I can't afford it, and I still want to know?" If you don't hurry up, you will be scolded by your employer if you go late, and see if you still want to read the newspaper! ”

After saying that, he took a hard sip, and then flashed into the Le mansion through a corner of the door. In fact, the man was just a family member who came to buy a newspaper for his master, and he couldn't read most of the words on the newspaper in his hand. However, the ridicule and ridicule of the family made passers-by feel sorry for a while, and what he said was good, a few of those who went to the street so early were not forced to make a living, but they still hurried to the employer, in case it was too late, and the employer was angry and deducted a few salaries, so the gain outweighed the loss.

But passers-by saw that the person who teased and mocked him was just dressed as a slave, and his identity was not as good as him, at least he was still a good family, and he couldn't help the resentment in his chest when he thought about it, and spit out a big thick phlegm at the black lacquered corner door, which was regarded as getting rid of the evil qi accumulated in his chest.

"What's so crazy? Act like a snob! ”

The time was less than noon, and the "Gazette" newspaper in Jiuzi Lane had been reprinted twice in a row, but it was still in short supply. The news published today is too shocking, there are many officials in Nanjing, and anyone who is sensitive to the current situation does not want to see who is involved in the military port fire case? Then, according to the content of the communiqué, it is better to make plans and preparations as soon as possible, and if the people involved are involved in their own family, it is better to cut them as soon as possible. Even if you don't, you have to think about whether you can take a step forward with this.

Regardless of the people who bought the newspaper, the news that the military port fire involved Shao Hualong, the chief soldier of Nanjing, and the chief military officer of Fujian, spread in a boiling manner in the city of Nanjing. Some people scolded these two people, and hundreds of people were killed in the fire that night, and many people's family members were unfortunately among them, how could they not scold? There are also people who criticize and write, thinking that they have ill intentions and have already rebelled, and they should be enlightened to the imperial court, so that the perpetrators of the murder will correct the law and calm the people's hearts.

All in all, public opinion was overwhelmingly biased in favor of the Zhenyu Marquis who was the victim, and some people even had a heartfelt word, asking the Zhenyu Marquis to lead the imperial court to attack the crime, send troops to Fujian, and capture the commander-in-chief who should be killed, so as to comfort the hearts of the people of Nanjing.

In addition to the indignation against illegal incidents, there are also more or less regional biases and discrimination. After all, Nanzhili and Fujian have always had well water that does not interfere with river water, so how can you make the local officials and people endure this breath if you take the initiative to commit such a rebellious evil deed?

Even the sons and brothers of the Restoration Society, who have always been unreliable, have to write petitions to uphold justice for the people of Nanjing. Of course, the object of this letter is not the imperial court, but Li Xin, the marquis of Yingtianfu.

Some scholars simply directly claimed that the chief military officer of Fujian was recruited by pirates, and today's actions are definitely a precursor to rebellion. It is imperative not to wait for the rebellion to occur, and immediately announce it to the world, so that everyone can attack it. There are also people who believe that a gentleman should bow first and then soldier, and should first write a letter to question, see how the other party answers, and then make judgments and acts.

Of course, in the face of one-sided public opinion, it was not without noise, and a few Hanlin in the Nanjing Hanlin Academy questioned this, believing that the facts published in the "Communiqué" were doubtful.

"What did Huang Nanlei say? What if he rebelled? ”

"How could he turn his sword and turn it towards Li Xin? Who doesn't know that he is Li Xin's echo worm? ”

This argument was quickly refuted, because a while ago, the "Bulletin" also published a question about the shortcomings of the Three Guards, if Huang Nanlei was an echo worm, how could he publish such a sharp article?

"Besides, look at the pictures and graphics in this newspaper, as well as the detailed home and office details, these things can't be faked, right? If anyone is suspicious, go to the Nanjing Ministry to check! ”

At this time, everyone suddenly realized, yes! Why didn't he think of going to the Nanjing Ministry to check the archives of these people? In the Ming Dynasty, the Nanjing Officials Department was not a complete idle pension yamen, and also had the right to appoint and dismiss low-grade officials in the provinces south of the Yangtze River, so the civil and military officials of the provinces in the south of the Yangtze River were archived in the Nanjing Officials' Department. Under the good deeds, the people of the company really went to check the archives of the Nanjing officials, and the results were verified one by one. What Huang Nanlei said in the "Communiqué" is really word for word. In this way, even those opposing noises can't say anything, after all, this kind of thing rubs the side of rebellion, who dares to openly shout grievances for Shao Hualong and that Haikou who recruited An? Is it idle to live a long life?

In just one day, there was a great deal of hatred and resentment in Nanjing, and all emotions and calibers were unanimously directed to find out the mastermind behind the scenes, punish the murderers, and give justice to the people.

In this regard, Chen Wenshan was full of admiration and threw himself to the ground. He has seen a lot of the ability of Zhenyu Hou to turn his hands into clouds and cover his hands for rain, and today he opened his eyes again, and he only felt that Shao Hualong was completely finished. In this way, even if Wei Guogong returned to Nanjing, Shao Hualong, without the general soldier, would he not be a bare pole? At that time, Nanjing City will really be dominated by the Three Guards of the Hou Dynasty.

But he still doesn't understand a little, the target of the Zhenyu Marquis this time is not a little broad, I heard that Zhu Yuncai is secretly fabricating charges, and taking the Chen family brothers as an opportunity to point all the spearheads at Wei Guogong. Could it be that the Marquis of Zhenyu wants to completely defeat the Duke of Wei?

Chen Wenshan was very puzzled, the Marquis of Zhenyu wanted to attack Shao Hualong and stammer the reputation of the Fujian General Military Officer, these are all true, in fact, the reputation of the Fujian General Military Officer in the southeast coast is not good, and now it is just another justifiable excuse. Is it necessary to bring Wei Guogong in? After all, Wei Guogong is the Nanjing guard appointed by the Holy Emperor today, and he is also the founding general Xu Da, how could he fall so easily?

Chen Wenzhi looked at the town marquis at hand, and just wanted to open his mouth to admonish, but saw Soap Li running to the door of the main hall in a panic.
