Chapter 1023: Hesitation

"The prisoner has been caught?"

Hearing the little guy who came to say this, Chen Heguang Huo Ran got up, he immediately took a deep breath to calm down his excitement, and then pretended to be calm and said: "Got it, go down, go for me and thank Brother Lu for me." ”

Maybe it was the admonition of a friend that played a role, or maybe Lu Hongwen finally discovered Chen Heguang's hypocrisy, this time the other party did not come in person, but just asked the attendants around him to spread the news to the Chen family.

"Yes." The subordinate stepped back in response.

Without outsiders, Chen Heguang no longer had to pretend to be calm, he got up and paced back and forth in the hall, and then asked Chen Nuo, who was sitting at the top, for advice: "Uncle Chen, what you said about this time, could it be a temptation of Jinyiwei?" ”

Jin Yiwei usually has a rule in handling cases, the more difficult and complex the case, the fastest way to close the case, because such cases generally involve many and wide, if you don't take the opportunity to find out the offender, the follow-up trouble will be endless.

And what is completely different is that some trivial cases will be delayed and delayed for all kinds of strange reasons.

And this time Chen Zihua's murder case is obviously a big case among the big cases, but Jin Yiwei's actions are quite delayed, if it weren't for the fact that his sister and Chen Bo both felt that this matter was not Lu Hanjiang's doing, Chen and Guang would have thought that the other party was directing and acting on their own.

But that's the case, the case still dragged on for almost a month and there was no conclusion, Chen Heguang is not stupid, there is no answer within three days, it is Jinyiwei's incompetence, and there is still no answer after three days, that is ill-intentioned.

Although the family looks down on the heritage of the royal family, it has never despised the power of the royal family.

Therefore, Chen Heguang concluded that if there was no reply within three days, the Jinyi guard must have found out the culprit, but he did not inform them because of some involvement.

The reason why Chen Heguang often pestered Lu Hongwen was to put pressure on Lu Shangshu in disguise, or rather, to put pressure on Lord Lu of Jinyiwei.

But the reason for the pressure was not that he was desperate to find the prisoner, but that it was to express Chen's attitude, which also included some of his own selfishness.

Because his father Chen Zihua has always adhered to the strategy of not getting along with the court when he was alive, although this move ensured the high level of the family, it also gave people a feeling that the family was afraid of the court.

Since he was sensible, Chen Heguang was very dissatisfied with this situation, he felt that it was the events of the year that scared his father out of fear, so he has been advocating in the clan to face the court with a tough attitude.

Chen Heguang's ideas are quite marketable, especially among the younger generation, these young people of the family, uphold the theory of the supremacy of the family, and feel superior everywhere, so they look down on the status quo of the imperial court.

What these children of the family hoped was to restore the fine tradition of the ancient scholars, abolish the imperial examinations of the imperial court, and use the family's method of inspection and examination instead, so that people with outstanding backgrounds could be matched with suitable positions, rather than allowing the imperial court to judge their knowledge like picking persimmons.

While this is a bit crazy and unrealistic, it does meet the needs of quite a few Maisons.

Not everyone agrees with such a high-sounding statement, to put it bluntly, what the family wants is to regain the power it once had, and as for how stupid the means are, it is an irrelevant matter.

They have been swept away by the imperial court for quite a long time, and it is so long that it makes people a little uneasy.

In particular, the alliance of the family itself is slowly falling apart, and the emergence of "new families" such as the Lu family has made many families see another way out.

Since ancient times, all reforms have been digging into the foundation of vested interests, and this is the case for the "new family" for the "old family", and the Yunzhong Chen family naturally does not want this kind of thing to continue to develop.

Especially today's "new family" has tasted the sweetness, it is impossible to want the horse to run and not let the horse graze, and the rapid development of the "new family" is inseparable from their suppression of the "old family".

It is precisely the aroma of the flesh and blood of these ancient families that can make the "new family" willingly let the emperor drive.

As for whether His Majesty the Emperor would use the same means to deal with them after these "new families" absorbed the blood and blood of the "old family" and grew up strongly, these worries about the hidden bow of the bird were all dispelled by Lu Shangshu.

Lu Shangshu taught these people a good lesson, using Confucianism as the skeleton and Legalism as the skin, weaving a dream for them called Loyal Monarch and Protecting the Emperor, so that everyone believed that they and the emperor were connected with interests.

In this regard, Chen Zihua and Chen Heguang, the father and son, have always scoffed, but their views are somewhat different.

Father Chen Zihua believes that Lu Yannian's approach is nothing more than putting a good-looking skin on the party and running a private business, but in fact, the inside is no different from today's family, they are all accumulating strength to fight with the royal family, but they are just doing better.

This is also why Chen Zihua thinks that the Lu family is credible, because in his opinion, in essence, they are both based in the imperial court, and there is not much difference, the difference is only that the other party is more hypocritical than him.

But his son Chen Heguang didn't think so, he hated Lu Yannian from the bottom of his heart, thinking that the other party had already been corrupted by the glamour of the imperial court and had become the emperor's loyal lackey.

He had no doubt that once the "new family" became a general trend, Lu Shangshu would definitely be the first person to stab him in the back, and everything would repeat itself at that time, and only the court and the emperor would benefit.

Therefore, Chen Heguang is very optimistic about the alliance with the Lu family, and even despises the fools who still have illusions about Lu Hanjiang, the so-called "disciple of the family".

According to him, the other party has long been assimilated by Lu Yannian, and there is no pride in his heart, and he is simply a complete wolf.

Similarly, this time Chen Zihua's case, in Chen Heguang's view, is also full of calculations and conspiracies, even though Jin Yiwei will not kill people, but no matter who killed Chen Zihua, I believe they are very interested in helping each other clean up the mess, even if it is to block the Chen family.

Today's criminals are caught, and there must be some calculations in it, Chen Heguang is quite cautious, but this scene falls in Chen Nuo's eyes, but he is a little disdainful.

Although Chen Nuo is not as naΓ―ve as Chen Zihua to think that Lu is credible, he will also not be like Chen Heguang.

Besides, even if Jin Yiwei really has some calculations hidden, when the matter comes, what's the use of Chen Heguang holding on to his feet here temporarily, if he doesn't see the other party's moves with his own eyes, can he come up with a way to break the game behind closed doors.

Chen Heguang's second thought was not so much cautious as cowardice, and this kid had been frightened ever since the Chen people outside the cabinet there had been beaten to death by the court staff.

Look at what he did, he wanted to pressure not to go to the Jinyi Wei Yamen, and went to Lu Yannian's house to make a fuss, he didn't see where the pressure was, but the jokes made Jinyiwei see a lot.

Chen Nuo shook his head secretly, seeing that Chen Heguang still looked hesitant, he called the little guy outside the door in and told them to prepare the car.

"Uncle Chen, are you going to the Jinyi Guard Yamen?" Chen Heguang immediately asked.

Chen Nuo glanced at him lightly: "The prisoner who killed your father has been found, shouldn't you be a son to be positive, I knew that I couldn't help crying in the mourning hall a few days ago, how can I make a mistake now." ”

Chen Heguang blushed, and he looked like he was bent down to be taught: "What Uncle Chen taught me was that I was stupid. ”
