The methods of the horse master in the land of Lianghuai, especially in Jinling City, are already very tough.

Just now, his new official took office three times, and the flame has not yet burned.

was taken by someone else.

And he had no way to take Chen Donghua.

Now that I think about it, the water in Jinling City is probably deeper than I imagined, and even more turbid!

The master and servant who followed Jiang Zhen said, "My lord, the criminal we want to arrest has been taken away, how should we deal with ourselves now?" ”

"There's no need to be anxious, everyone is doing things for Chitose Lord, it's a big deal that we will wait for Lord Zaifu to interrogate first."

"After we are done, we can start with the issue of food and salary, and we can also mention people."

"Okay."

At the same time, Jinling City, Hefu.

As the richest man in Jinling City.

A big family on the rich side.

The head of the family, He Youbin, is busy coordinating the industrial revenue of this quarter.

"Master, something is wrong."

The housekeeper of the mansion barged in with an anxious expression.

"The young master has been arrested."

"Who? Who did this to you? ”

After He Youbin listened, he only felt that the hairs all over his body exploded.

The housekeeper Liu Bufang said: "It's a person from the capital, the official of the Zhenfu Division." ”

"Pacification Division? Is it the one who is taken by the brocade guard? ”

"Yes, according to the guests in the restaurant, the head of the man's brocade clothes is known as Xu Qianhu."

"Xu Xianchun! How dare he? ”

"Master, the leader of Jinyiwei is Xu Xianchun, but when he arrested the young master, the one who called the shots seemed to be a big official."

"Official? Also from the capital? ”

"Nine times out of ten, I heard on the scene that someone called that senior official Lord Zaifu."

As soon as these words came out, He Youbin's face was stunned.

Jaesuke!

There were only four people in the court.

Sun Chengzong, Qian Longxi, Huang Daozhou and Chen Donghua.

Lu Delin is also in power in the court because of his great victory outside Liaoyang.

Half in front.

In the past six months, there has been a Zaifu in Jinling City.

It's Chen Donghua.

"Is that person's name Chen Donghua?"

"Sir, it seems to be ...... It seems to be Lord Chen. ”

After confirming that it was Chen Donghua, He Youbin's face became much colder.

After being silent for a long time, He Youbin squinted and speculated: "Even if Chen Donghua is Zaifu, he doesn't dare to arrest people in Jinling City for no reason, and he is a member of my He family." ”

He Youbin's eldest son, He Xiao, said: "Father, if Chen Donghua is involved, I'm afraid this matter will not be easy to handle, as we all know, that Chen Donghua is a mad dog under the knee of the court." ”

"No matter what gossip he hears, as long as it's bad for the colt, he'll catch a crazy bite."

"I know that."

He Youbin was also confused.

He really wants to get people from Chen Donghua's hands.

That's harder than climbing to the sky.

He Xiao said: "I think the top priority is to find Master Liao and let him come forward to talk to Chen Donghua. ”

He Youbin said: "Xiao'er has woken up as a father, and at this level, I'm afraid I can only ask to see Lord Liao." ”

The Lord Liao mentioned by the He father and son is Liao Defang, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites in Jinling City.

Liao Defang has a high reputation in Jinling City.

Before, he was a Qingliu celebrity with Zhao Yanpei's nose.

As the capital of the Ming Dynasty, Jinling City also occupied a very high position in the court.

In other words, at present, only Liao Defang is qualified to discuss important people with Chen Donghua on the Jinling City side.

Chen Donghua has always been too presumptuous in Jinling.

After all, although he is the cabinet chief, he is also from the city of Beijing after all.

In addition, everyone admires the courtiers under the command of Emperor Zhen.

It's not going to tear your face, and you're really going to fight for a horse master with a foreign surname, right?

In fact, what did the officials of Jinling City think.

Zhou Xian was able to understand their thoughts in advance.

In Zhou Xian's plan, Chen Donghua is a troublemaker and a-stirring stick that he pushed to the surface.

The effect he wants is for Chen Donghua to mess up the situation in Jinling City.

Then let Jiang Zhen, who is more decisive and attentive, peel off the performance and see the essence.

In the final analysis, the main reason is that the internal structure of the Donglin Party is too solid.

Let's go back to Jinling City.

Late at night, He Youbin's carriage stopped in front of the Liao family's mansion.

He Youbin got out of the carriage and personally knocked on the door of the Liao Mansion, not only reporting his name but also maintaining humility to hand over the greetings to the doormen of the Liao Mansion.

In order to prevent the doorman from cheating, He Youbin also gave a heavy thank-you gift.

"Master He, please wait."

The doorman nodded flatteringly and turned to leave.

After a while, Mending turned back and welcomed He Youbin into the house.

After He Youbin entered Liao's Mansion, he gave the housekeeper who led the way a silver ticket of 20,000 taels of silver.

As the richest man in Jinling, Hefu spends tens of millions of dollars every year.

For these, Master He didn't care about it at all.

Soon, he passed by the three pavilions and saw Liao Defang.

Thump......

He Youbin glanced at Liao Defang, who was sitting on the Taishi chair, and said respectfully: "The teacher is above, please accept the student's worship." ”

Speaking of which, Liao Defang, who is sitting on the high hall, is 59 years old this year.

He is not a few years older than He Youbin.

But Liao Defang's complexion was solemn, and his face was calm and elegant.

It gives people a sense of being extremely safe with him.

It also made He Youbin feel the profound majesty.

"He Youbin, you haven't been here for more than half a year, have you encountered a tricky problem?"

"The teacher is really wise, and the student is really in big trouble."

"What's the matter?"

"The unfilial son He Xianyan was arrested by the people of the Zhenfu Division, and now he is in prison."

After Liao Defang heard this, his face was as usual, and he asked lightly: "The people from the Zhenfu Division are not mad dogs, and they arrested your son for no reason?" ”

"If you go back to your teacher, the dog has a gentle and elegant personality on weekdays, and he doesn't like to dance with knives and sticks."

"I was arrested this time because I was telling stories in a restaurant on the bank of the Qinhuai River."

"Oh?"

Liao Defang looked suspicious.

Got arrested just for saying something?

This is even more severe than the literary prison of the previous Ming Dynasty.

The point is that in this era, this kind of thing will not be.

Even if Wei Zhongxian is hot, when he covers the sky with one hand, it is nothing more than that.

However, the current eunuch of the country is not as short-sighted as Wei Zhongxian.

Liao Defang squinted and pondered for a moment, and immediately said, "Are you sure what you just said is the truth?" ”

"The students didn't say anything half-hearted."

"But I haven't heard anything like this happen for many years."

"If the imperial court wants to take people, they pay attention to evidence, how can they hear hearsay, chase after the wind and catch shadows and send people to prison?"

"And the old man also knows a little bit about the style of acting as a court."

"Without real evidence, the horse will never take people."

"Teacher, what the student said is true, the dog is indeed not involved in any business."
