"Grandpa Guo, it's not good, Uncle Liu was arrested by the people of the Gyeonggi Governor's Mansion, it seems that something happened to the Bafang Warehouse." In the early morning, just as Li Yuntian was sleeping soundly with Zhou Yuting in his arms, the housekeeper's eager voice suddenly came from outside the window, waking him and Zhou Yuting one after another.

Uncle Liu was referring to bangs, and the corners of Li Yuntian's mouth showed a wry smile, the time to come was always here, and it came so quickly, it didn't give him a chance to breathe at all.

"Xianggong, is the brother of the Liu family okay?" Zhou Yuting looked at Li Yuntian with a concerned expression, her eyes full of worry.

No matter how you say that Liu Hai is also Li Yuntian's eldest brother, but the Gyeonggi Governor's Mansion arrested people without even saying hello, which is definitely not a good sign, and it is certain that it was definitely not Zhang Hao's doing.

"The soldiers will block, the water will cover the earth, as long as the Gyeonggi Governor's Office does not hand over the people, then he will be fine." Li Yuntian smiled slightly, hugged Zhou Yuting and closed his eyes again, "Sleep, there are still many things to do tomorrow, and you must recuperate yourself." ”

Zhou Yuting squirmed the corners of her mouth when she heard this, but in the end she couldn't say anything, and snuggled in Li Yuntian's arms nervously, she knew the dangerous situation Li Yuntian was in now, and she could only secretly pray in her heart that Li Yuntian could survive the catastrophe in front of her.

On the morning of the next day, although the "Ming Xin Pao" was reprinted, it was still snapped up by the people of the capital in just half an hour, for no other reason, according to the custom, this issue of the newspaper will open a special page to introduce the details of the trial of the Shuntian Palace.

With the successive publication of Li Yuntian's heroic deeds of turning things around and turning defeat into victory in the lobby of Shuntianfu, not only his fame was pushed to a new height, but also many businessmen showed interest in doing business in Jiaozhi, after all, Jiaozhi provided unprecedented preferential policies.

However, Li Yuntian's mood seemed a little depressed, because not only was the Bafang Warehouse seized last night, but he had just arrived at the lecture hall today and learned another bad news, Liu Zhang and Dong Youcai, who were imprisoned, committed suicide by biting their tongues and hanging themselves last night, both of them died unexpectedly.

As soon as Liu Zhang and Dong Youcai died, Liu Ren's case became a headless unsolved case, and it was not easy to find out the inside story.

However, this is not the reason why Li Yuntian feels depressed, but knowing that Chen Youyi has found five hundred arquebuses from the Bafang warehouse, it seems that this time he has no chance to wash away his grievances, because with the strict system of managing firearms in the martial arts hall, it is impossible to transport so many guns from the workshop that makes arquebuses without his approval.

In other words, Li Yuntian has actually been involved in the case of the five hundred arquebuses, but according to the trial process, it is not his turn yet, and if he wants to move an important minister of his level, he must first get the imperial permission of Emperor Xuande.

What is particularly important is that Li Yuntian has confirmed that Emperor Xuande wanted to kill these five hundred arquebuses, because apart from Li Yuntian, only Emperor Xuande's edict can transfer those arquebuses out of the workshop unconsciously.

Therefore, Li Yuntian is now faced with a choice, that is, to stay in the capital and wait for death or leave the capital and flee to Jiaozhi, if he finds a way to leave the capital now, he still has a chance of life.

However, this choice is redundant for Li Yuntian, he can't leave his family behind and live alone, so he will definitely choose to stay in the capital and do his best to resolve the biggest crisis in his life.

According to common sense, the matter of the arquebus found in the Bafang Warehouse should be kept secret, so as not to leak the news and affect the investigation, but in just one morning, the news spread like a whirlwind all over the streets and alleys of the capital, and immediately caused a sensation in the capital.

After the last battle with the Tatars and Warats, the arquebuses and Fran cannons have become famous all over the world, and the people are surprised that there are 500 arquebuses in the Bafang Warehouse, which is a great crime of rebellion.

"Someone, prepare the car!" At noon, Li Yuntian opened the door of his office room, and in a deep voice ordered the guards outside the door, and one of the guards hurriedly left to arrange the carriage.

"Go back to your home yourself and give these letters to Madame." Then, Li Yuntian turned to Chen Muyi, the captain of the guard standing outside the door, and handed over the stack of letters he was holding in his hand, which he had written all morning, and his hands were a little sore.

"Grandpa Guo, where are you going so late?" After Chen Muyi took the letters, he couldn't help but ask curiously, it's lunch time and Li Yuntian hasn't eaten yet.

"Gyeonggi Governor's Office!" Li Yuntian's eyes flashed, and he said in a deep voice.

"Gyeonggi Governor's Office?" Chen Muyi's face suddenly showed a look of surprise, now that Chen Tai, the Duke of Renguo, was dealing with the matter of the five hundred arquebuses in the Gyeonggi Governor's Mansion, wouldn't Li Yuntian have thrown himself into the net when he went?

"Since there is no way to avoid it, then there is no need to avoid it again!" Li Yuntian smiled slightly when he heard this, and said meaningfully, instead of sitting and waiting for death, it is better to take the initiative to attack and strive for the initiative.

Gyeonggi Governor's Office.

Renguo Gong Chen Tai paced back and forth in his public room uneasily, he had already entered the palace in the morning to tell Emperor Xuande about the arquebus, Emperor Xuande asked him to investigate to the end, and sent Yi Chengbo and Jinyi Wei to assist in the investigation of the case, which made him in a dilemma.

Chen Tai didn't want to get involved in the arquebus case, but Emperor Xuande didn't give him a chance to speak, so he directly appointed him to try the case, and asked Wei Xin to assist him, which was equivalent to driving ducks to the shelves.

Originally, this case should have been handed over to the Fusi of Jinyi Weibei Town to be tried, and the case of Hu Weiyong and Lan Yu was the commander of Jinyiwei who was responsible for the trial.

However, today is different from the past, not to mention whether Emperor Xuande has the prestige of Emperor Hongwu who can deter the Ming Dynasty, nor whether Jinyiwei has the power of later generations, just Emperor Xuande is seriously ill, and the prince is already destined to be unable to kill the Ming Xungui involved in the Hu Weiyong and Lanyu cases as he did during the Hongwu Emperor period.

Otherwise, once Emperor Xuande died, not only would Jinyiwei be jointly attacked by the civil and military officials of the imperial court, but the government would also become a mess, which was not what Emperor Xuande wanted to see.

The reason why Jinyiwei can have great power in the middle and late Ming Dynasty is that it is attached to the imperial power, and the civil and military officials are not afraid of Jinyiwei, but the imperial power behind Jinyiwei, if the imperial power is suppressed by the ministers, then Jinyiwei naturally has no deterrent.

Therefore, Emperor Xuande thought about it again and again and decided to use Chen Tailai to be in charge of trying the case, so as to avoid panic in the court, after all, Jin Yiwei has become notorious after handling the Hu Weiyong and Lan Yu cases, and Chen Tai will not implicate the innocent like Jin Yiwei.

At the same time, Emperor Xuande's doing so was tantamount to making Chen Tai stand on the opposite side of Li Yuntian, and then dividing the Ming nobles, especially ensuring the safety of the capital, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone.

To tell the truth, Emperor Xuande didn't want to be like Emperor Hongwu to take advantage of the two cases of Hu Weiyong and Lan Yu to kill, in his opinion, as long as there was nothing for Li Yuntian, then other people would not be worried about and there was no threat to Daming.

Moreover, Li Yuntian is surrounded by some brave and warlike generals, if he kills them all, who will fight for Daming in the future, Emperor Xuande does not want Daming to stage a battle of martyrdom again.

In this way, Chen Tai will be roasted on the fire by Emperor Xuande, and he will definitely offend Zhou Zheng and Zhang Hao, who are close to Li Yuntian, and other Ming nobles, perhaps this is what Emperor Xuande is willing to see.

Chen Tai's mood seemed very bad, although he was the chief officer of the arquebus case, but it was Wei Xin who went to interrogate Liu Hai and other people involved in the case, it is conceivable that it fell into Wei Xin's hands, and Liu Hai and his party had to shed their skin even if they did not die.

In order to enable Chen Tai to control the situation in the Gyeonggi Governor's Mansion, Zhang Hao, the Grand Governor of the Gyeonggi Governor's Mansion and the Duke of Yiguo, was sent by Emperor Xuande to inspect Shanhaiguan a few days ago, so the defense of the capital fell into the hands of him and the right deputy governor of the Gyeonggi Governor's Mansion, Cheng Yonghou Hu Dahai.

In fact, it was not only Zhang Hao who was transferred, Zhou Zheng, the Duke of Zhongguo, was also sent by Emperor Xuande to Shanxi to inspect the capital a few days ago, and even Jinyi Weibei Town Fusi Zhenfu Division and Zhongwubo Li Manshan were urgently transferred to Nanjing to perform official duties.

It can be said that Emperor Xuande has gradually transferred all the help that Li Yuntian can rely on out of the capital, so that he can deal with Li Yuntian with confidence.

"Brother Chen, I heard that Wei Xin has already punished Liu Hai, and Liu Hai's mouth is really strict, and he doesn't admit that those arquebuses are related to the Bafang Warehouse, if this continues, Liu Hai will be killed sooner or later."

Suddenly, a man of medium stature wearing a marquis's official uniform walked in, and said to Chen Tai with a stern expression, he was the right deputy governor of the Economic Governor's Mansion, Cheng Yong Hou Hu Dahai.

Hu Dahai knew very well what Wei Xin wanted from Liu Hai, although Wei Xin didn't say it explicitly, he kept asking Liu Hai who was the main messenger behind the batch of arquebuses, and also reminded him that ordinary people couldn't get that batch of arquebuses, and pointed the finger at Li Yuntian.

In fact, Hu Dahai knew very well that the 500 arquebuses in the Bafang Warehouse had nothing to do with Li Yuntian, because Li Yuntian had no need to do that, let alone hide those guns in the Bafang Warehouse.

What is particularly important is that although the arquebus is very powerful, the environment in which it is used is limited, and it is not suitable for close-quarters street combat at all, so Li Yuntian should not get the arquebus into the Bafang warehouse, so it is better to get a batch of weapons.

Although Hu Dahai thought so in his heart, he couldn't say it, and a discerning person could guess at once that the source of those arquebuses was related to Emperor Xuande, and no one could mobilize the strict system of the martial arts hall except for Li Yuntian and Emperor Xuande.

If he was in Jinyi Weibei Town, Wei Xin would not be able to punish Liu Hai no matter how much he did, but this is the Gyeonggi Governor's Mansion, and if Liu Hai died, outsiders would put this account on the head of the Gyeonggi Governor's Mansion, which would cause a lot of trouble.

"The two governors, the prince of Zhenguo has arrived!" Chen Tai's face showed a helpless wry smile, although Wei Xin assisted him in investigating the case, but he couldn't transfer Wei Xin, so he could only let him torture him in the prison to extract a confession, at this moment a guard ran in in a hurry and said in a deep voice.

"What?" Chen Tai and Hu Dahai were taken aback when they heard this, and looked at each other, never expecting that Li Yuntian would appear at this time.
