Chapter 403: Arrest the Suspect
Chen Jinyin took advantage of his position to slowly transfer the right to mine salt to his own control. In order to curry favor with Liu Zhen, he looted the people's fat and ointment, and raised the people's taxes to advance for two years in advance.
The people were miserable, and Chen Jinyin hired outlaws to take care of the salt works for him. The people were dissatisfied with his skinning and bone exploitation, and he ordered the thugs to go and rectify the man, including his family.
The people privately called him King Chen Yan. Lu Jun came to Zhaoyi to take up a post, Shangdang is the core county of Luzhou, producing important materials and salt, and a horse Pingchuan is widely distributed.
It stands to reason that the people of Shangdang and Li should live a prosperous life and live and work in peace and contentment. In fact, on the contrary, the people are complaining. He has received several petitions from local people.
He took over Zhaoyi with a lot of troubles, and the military alone was enough for him to be anxious. Knowing that Chen Jinyin was lawless in looting people's fat and people's ointment, he had to temporarily suppress it and wait for the opportunity to deal with this person.
Zhou Qi sent Song Shuye and Liu Ye to lead the soldiers to raid the Shangdang County Ya. Chen Jinyin heard the rumors and said that it was the imperial court that sent a senior official to rectify the situation, and the death of his predecessor Cheng Ji was caused by a different version.
At this time, he was in his luxurious mansion, discussing countermeasures with several confidants.
The master said: "County Cheng, money can make ghosts grind. I don't believe that money can't make a sound. ”
Chen Jinyin turned a string of amber Buddha beads in his hand, and his slender eyebrows and eyes were full of calculations. "Zhou Qi can boldly investigate unjust, false and wrongful cases, and correct the names of those officials who have been exiled and excluded, he is not an idle person. I am afraid that money will not be effective for him. ”
In Chen Jinyin's view, it is not a problem that money can solve things, but the problem is that money is not easy to use, which makes people speechless.
The master shook his head and disagreed, "I have lived to this age, and I have never seen anyone who does not love money, but a gentleman loves money in a good way, and in a word, he can find a high-sounding reason for people who love money to love money." ”
At the beginning, he also wanted to assist Cheng Ji to speak for the people, Cheng Ji was killed, Liu Congzhi asked people to oppress him, and he did not let go in prison.
Chen Jinyin bribed him with a few gold ingots and asked him to work for Chen Jinyin before and after the saddle.
Chen Jinyin: "Some people are just stones in the pit, smelly and hard, and there is another way to deal with such a guy." ”
An outlaw who had earned a life in his hands answered: "Toast without eating and eating penalty wine, eat penalty wine is good." ”
The doorman ran in panting, not bothering to knock on the door, "My lord, a team of soldiers and horses has arrived." ”
Chen Jinyin was just about to reprimand the servant, but Song Shuye had already strode towards him. Behind him were the brightly armored guards.
"Bold, trespassing on a private house, do you know where this is?" Chen Jinyin kicked away the chair and put his hands behind his back, and scolded harshly.
Uncle Song raised his chin and asked him, "You are Chen Jinyin?" ”
Several guards had already rushed to Chen Jinyin's side and controlled him. Several outlaws present drew their swords and didn't say much, and came to assassinate Song Shuye and the others with their swords.
Seeing that the situation was not good, the master slipped away and wanted to escape, but Liu Ye stretched out his hand to stop him, and the guards stepped forward to tie him up.
There was no fear in Chen Jinyin's slender eyebrows, and he sat down in a chair, letting the guards hold his arm.
He calmly spoke in a chaotic situation: "I am an official of the imperial court, what is your intention to detain me without asking any questions when you come." Even if you have doubts about me, you must be promoted to the court and tried, instead of breaking into a private house to detain me. ”
Liu Ye stepped forward to help, and Uncle Song jumped out of the circle at night, "Since you know the procedure, you should order your subordinates not to come nonsense." We'll see you in court. ”
Seeing it in court, Chen Jinyin sneered, thinking about Taoism, you don't care about breaking into the private house, it is obvious that you are unreasonable first.
Chen Jinyin calmly demanded: "You didn't report your name, just take people, we can count it as self-defense." Let your men let me go, and they will not use force. ”
Song Shuye solemnly introduced himself, "This official is Song Shuye, the captain of the Shence Army, and he is Liu Ye, the squire of the military department. On the orders of Zhou Qi, the secretary of the Ministry of Officials, and Zhang Zhongqing, the imperial historian of Taichung, I came to take you to assist in handling a few cases. He showed the official letter.
Chen Jinyin still had to quibble, he just wanted to delay time, hoping that the people who were going to move the rescue soldiers would arrive as soon as possible. He didn't want to be caught.
Willow Leaf's sword danced dazzlingly, and the outlaws couldn't parry, so they first smeared oil on the soles of their feet and fled through the window.
Willow Leaf jumped to the window, stretched out his bow and arrows, and shot two arrows, hitting the man's legs, he fell down the steps, and the guards stepped forward to arrest him.
At this time, a group of big men rushed in outside Chen Jinyin's mansion, with marks engraved on their arms and big knives on their shoulders, and they broke in noisily.
"Who dares to go wild on Grandpa's territory?"
The guards pushed Chen Jinyin out of the room, the master was tied and followed behind with his hands tied, and the big man with arrows in both legs was dragged away by the guards' arms.
"You can go and leave the people behind." The big man who took the lead removed the big knife from his shoulder, and the blade pointed directly at Song Shuye.
"Very good, I sent it together, so that I don't have to arrest you turtle grandchildren everywhere."
Uncle Song waved at night and motioned for the guards to rush forward. The guards swarmed up and scuffled with the group of big men.
Liu Ye rushed up to join the battle circle, a sword was invincible, the injured were injured, and the stabbed one died. His swordsmanship was originally exquisite, and he had been trained on the battlefield, and there were no wasted moves, and his moves were deadly.
No, no, this group of thugs raised by Chen Jinyin are all extremely vicious people who fled here from all over the world. Chen Jinyin was generous to them and used them to exploit the people.
"Good swordsmanship, this group of scum should be killed." Uncle Song shouted and cheered on the side at night.
The guards gradually dispersed, dividing the strong man into several pieces. Willow Leaf and the guards were wearing armor, and the rabble fought against them with flesh and blood, and they were at a disadvantage in terms of equipment.
Some people saw that the situation was not good and wanted to escape, but they were chased and intercepted by the guards, but none of them were left behind, and they were arrested.
Uncle Song led a team to escort Chen Jinyin and the suspects at night. Chen Jinyin stood in the Jiedu Mansion, and did not bow down when he saw Zhou Qi and others, "I am an official of the imperial court, and you use lynching to arrest the official of the imperial court." I will appeal to the court and ask for an explanation. ”
Zhou Qi looked at him arrogantly, and didn't take them into account at all. He was not in a hurry, and buried himself in the bookcase. Zhang Zhongqing sat there drinking tea and didn't even look at him. Lu Jun handled official duties in an orderly manner.
Hang Chen Jinyin in the lobby. The master knelt behind Chen Jinyin, and the gang of thugs knelt in the lobby without color, and bandaged in the back hall. Some of them were killed during the scuffle at Chen Jinyin's mansion.
Chen Jinyin and his master had never seen such a case, and they brought the suspect without interrogation.
"You are breaking the law, what have we done, that you should do this to us?" Chen Jinyin asked loudly.
No one answered, and the guards unsheathed their swords and stood ready to guard against them. Chen Jinyin was mad, and his subordinates became frosted eggplants at this time, colorful, listless, and some of them died.
