Wudu City, Chen Mansion.

Chen Jianyin sat on the chair, his face was extremely gloomy, he knew that things would develop like this, and he would not go to Yu Hao for anything.

But if he wants to confess his sins like this, he is unwilling!

Thinking of this, Chen Jian hurriedly called Mrs. Chen and the housekeeper over: "Quickly pack up your things, bring all the valuable things, housekeeper, you take all the land deeds and house deeds in the house to the money village to mortgage them into silver tickets, and go to Wudu City to meet me." ”

"Master, what's going on, where are we going?" This sudden change caught Mrs. Chen a little off guard, and the whole person was in a state of confusion.

"There's no time to explain, you hurry up and pack up your belongings, bring Ling'er, and repair another letter to Lu'er, so that he doesn't want to be that magistrate, and run as far as he wants!" Chen Jian said angrily.

Feng Yulou only gave him one day, if he didn't sell his property within this day and escape from Wudu City, he would have no chance.

Seeing Chen Jian so nervous, Mrs. Chen and the housekeeper also realized that something was wrong, and Mrs. Chen responded and hurried to pack her things.

Chen Jian called the housekeeper to him, took out a stack of land deeds and house deeds from his arms and handed them to the housekeeper: "You exchange all these for silver tickets, you can exchange as many as you can, and let all the families in the house guard the gate, if someone breaks in, they will be killed!" ”

"The old slave obeys!" The butler nodded and hurriedly left the Chen Mansion.

On the porridge stall opposite Chen's house, three men in sackcloth with war knives in hand were drinking porridge.

Seeing the housekeeper hurriedly running out of the Chen Mansion, one of them hurriedly said: "Ah Qiang, you keep an eye on him, see where he goes, Ah Gou, you go and report to Qianhu, I will continue to watch here." ”

The other two men nodded, drank the porridge in the bowl, and hurriedly got up and ran in different directions.

Chen Jian sat slumped in his chair, his whole body trembling with nervousness.

It is impossible to make him confess his guilt voluntarily, and the silver he is greedy for is enough for more than 100 people in his house to die 800 times.

The only way to do this now is to sell his property, how far he can run, and the silver in his hand is enough for him to squander for the rest of his life.

Feng Yulou has always been conceited, Chen Jian can only pray that he hasn't told Zhu Song about this yet, then he still has a chance to escape!

About half an hour later, Mrs. Chen pulled a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl to Chen Jian, and the two maids behind her were carrying more than a dozen burdens.

Chen Jian looked at the two maids who were overwhelmed by the burden, and his eyes suddenly widened: "Didn't I ask you to bring the valuable ones?" What are you carrying so many things for? ”

"Master, these are valuable things, the baggage is full of jewelry and gold bars, they are all good things, so you can't throw them away!" Mrs. Chen hurriedly explained.

As he spoke, he also opened one of the bags, which was full of fine jade bracelets, and there were dozens of them.

Chen Jian's face was extremely gloomy, this loser actually bought so many things!

But Mrs. Chen was right, these were all good things, very valuable, and he was reluctant to throw them away, so it seemed that he had to wait for the housekeeper to come back and let him run again and pawn these things.

"Dad, what the hell is going on, where are we going?" Chen Ling'er, the girl beside Mrs. Chen, asked suspiciously.

"What do adults ask more about children? All you have to do is follow the Father and leave! Chen Jian naturally didn't have time to explain to her, and said with a serious face.

At this moment, the butler ran back sweating profusely, and took out a thick stack of silver tickets from his bosom, the smallest of which was also five thousand taels of silver.

"Master, the title deed and the house deed are all mortgaged, but we have mortgaged too much, and the money bank can only be calculated to us at eighty percent of the market price." The housekeeper wiped the sweat from his face and said.

Hearing that it was only eighty percent, Chen Jian was so angry that he gritted his teeth and scolded Qian Zhuang for being greedy for money and treacherous.

If it had been before, he would have to lead someone to smash the bank, but at this time, it was an extraordinary time, and he could only suffer this dumb loss.

Originally, he wanted the butler to pawn all the jewelry in the baggage, but for some reason, he always had an uneasy feeling in his heart, so he had to give up.

Pulling the butler aside, he put his arm around the butler's shoulders and said, "You prepare the carriage immediately, and I will leave Wudu City immediately." ”

As he spoke, he wanted to take out a silver ticket and hand it to the housekeeper, but the denomination of the silver ticket in his hand was too big, Chen Jian hesitated, took out a small ingot of ten taels from his arms and stuffed it into the housekeeper's hand.

The housekeeper secretly scolded Chen Jian for being stingy in his heart, but he didn't dare to disobey Chen Jian's order, and hurriedly turned around to prepare the carriage.

"Master Chen, where are you going?"

At this moment, Li Feng jumped forward, turned over from the wall of the Chen Mansion, and stared at Chen Jian with a grim face.

In the next second, more than a dozen soldiers of Jianguo Temple wearing brocade clothes also climbed into the wall, each holding a hemp rope in their hands.

At the other end of the hemp rope were the Chen family members who were strangled by their necks and hung up, all of whom had lost the breath of life at this time.

"Jianguo Temple?" Chen Jian's face was pale, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead all of a sudden.

Swallowing and foaming, Chen Jian hurriedly asked, "I don't know if the Thousand Households of Jianguo Temple are here, what are you doing?" ”

"What am I doing here, doesn't Lord Chen count it in his heart? You dragged your family with your mouth, do you want to abscond in fear of crime? Li Feng said coldly.

As soon as these words came out, Chen Jian suddenly realized that it was over, and Jianguo Temple made a move, even if he had great ability, he would not want to escape.

With Feng Yulou's conceit, he should think that Chen Jian would not dare to disobey his orders and take the initiative to confess, so most likely he would not mention this matter to the emperor in advance.

Unexpectedly, Feng Yulou not only mentioned it, but also asked Jianguo Temple to come and arrest Chen Jian in advance.

Didn't you say that you would give a day of time, why doesn't talking count?

In fact, Chen Jian didn't know that Li Feng and the others were just ordered to monitor him, if it weren't for his intention to escape, Li Feng and the others would not have done it in advance.

"Thousand ...... Lord Qianhu, so far, Chen has nothing to say, but he also asks Lord Qianhu to let Chen go on a certain horse, and Chen is willing to give all this money to Lord Qianhu. ”

Chen Jian said, presenting the silver ticket in his hand above his head.

Although these silver bills were obtained by mortgaging all his houses and land, and were the greatest guarantee for his future life, compared with the silver bills, his own life was a little more important.

"That's a lot of money?" Li Feng's eyes widened in surprise, "It seems that Lord Chen is really greedy for a lot of silver in the imperial court!" Even if the master kills you today, you won't be wronged! ”

As soon as these words came out, Chen Jian suddenly looked frightened.

At the same time, the gate of the Chen Mansion was smashed open, and the corpse of a member of the Chen Mansion was thrown in, and hundreds of soldiers from the Jianguo Temple rushed in and surrounded the people of the Chen Mansion.

Before Chen Jian could react, Li Feng raised the war knife in his hand: "The emperor has a decree, Chen Jian, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, is corrupt and perverts the law, abuses power for personal gain, the evidence is conclusive, and now Chen Jian is demoted to a commoner, Chen's mansion is full of beheading, and the family property is filled into the treasury!" Kill me! Not a single one to stay! ”
