Chapter 168: Take it
"Bang!"
The door of the room was brutally pushed open, and Shi Wen ran in with an excited face.
As he ran, he shouted, "My lord, I've asked out, I've asked everything." ”
Chen Kan stood up suddenly.
Without waiting for Chen Kan to ask, Shi Wen said like pouring beans from a bamboo tube: "Those two people are indeed from the White Lotus Sect, and those women who were killed were brought to Fuller House by an ambassador surnamed Hong from the Sect Division. ”
"Shi Wen listened to the order, went to the Teaching Workshop Division, and took down all the officials and servants."
The ferocity in Chen Kan's eyes flashed.
He concluded that under the siege and interception of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses, in such a short period of time, the Buddha would not be able to kill all the White Lotus Sect disciples of the Jiaofang Division.
After giving an order, Zhao Shiwen walked out of the door, and after gathering all the people, he ordered: "Fang Xu, take someone with this official to get the ambassador of the Jiaofang Division surnamed Hong." ”
"Order!"
The ambassador of the Department of Education is also an official of the imperial court.
Although the officials of the ninth rank are not so conspicuous in a place like the Beijing Division, where the third and fourth rank officials walk all over the place, for ordinary people, they are still high-ranking officials.
That Ambassador Hong couldn't afford to live in such a precious area in Nancheng, but he still bought a set of small courtyards with three entrances in the west of the city.
The captains of the Five Cities Terracotta Division unsheathed their long knives and quickly surrounded the small courtyard.
The porter looked at the murderous Flying Fish captains with a horrified expression.
"Official, what's wrong?"
Chen Kan kicked the porter aside and ordered: "Break the door, those who dare to resist will be killed." ”
The siege wood carried by the six Flying Fish Captains slammed into the gate of the small courtyard.
The wooden door, which was not very strong, shattered in response to the sound and was instantly smashed into a pile of sawdust.
"Who dares to trespass into the mansion of an official and want to rebel?"
Hong Kui was originally teasing his youngest son who had just turned one year old in the living room, when he suddenly heard the sound of banging on the door, so he hurriedly ran out of the main hall.
Then he saw countless Flying Fish captains breaking through the door.
He couldn't help but look dark in front of him, and suddenly he was shocked and angry, and shouted and scolded: "Stop, this official is Hong Kui, the ambassador of the Teaching Workshop Department, and you dare to trespass into people's houses under Lang Lang Qiankun, are you not afraid of the sanctions of the royal law?" ”
"Take it!"
As soon as he heard Hong Kui report his home, Chen Kan's eyes instantly turned red.
Chen Kan gave an order, and Hong Kui was instantly overwhelmed by the crowd.
Chen Kan once again gave the order: "Take Hong Kui's family to prison." ”
"Slow, this lord, when does the official offend the adult, the official is willing to accept the crime, but the disaster will not affect the family, please raise your noble hand."
Hearing this, Hong Kui panicked, and the whole person struggled hard.
Is this to kill them all or what, when did you offend such a big guy?
But Chen Kan was in no mood to listen to what he said about this kind of nonsense that would not harm his family.
At this moment, he remembered that he had a family, and when he brutally killed those flower girls, how could he not remember that he also had a family.
"Don't move, be honest!"
Fang Xu kicked him in the stomach, and Hong Kui fell to his knees.
"Are you, Lord Chen of the Five Cities Terracotta Division?"
Hong Kui endured the pain and turned his head to look at Chen Kan, whose eyes were red.
He didn't remember when he had offended Chen Kan, and he couldn't think of any hatred that Chen Kan had with him that couldn't be resolved.
Chen Kan ignored him, just silently watched as the captains under his command arrested Hong Kui's family one by one like wolves.
In the small courtyard, the earth-shattering cries soon filled the air.
When one of the school captains took out a one-year-old toddler, Hong Kui's eyes suddenly split, and he shouted: "Chen Kan, if you have the ability, you will rush at me, what kind of ability is it to bully the old and young women and children?" ”
Chen Kan came to Hong Kui and met Hong Kui's eyes full of hatred and anger.
said lightly: "Don't worry, one of your family members is counted as one, and they can't escape, you said that you don't do it as a good court official, you have to be a lackey of the White Lotus Sect, are you in the water?" ”
"What, how do you know?"
As soon as Chen Kan said this, Hong Kui's face suddenly turned pale.
"How do you know?"
Hong Kui's brain was down, and he felt that his approach was secretive enough, and he didn't leave a trace of anything other than taking people to the Fuller Academy.
What's more, he is an official of the Department of Teaching, and it is reasonable to take a woman to Fuller House.
Soon, a look of despair crossed his face.
Looking at Hong Kui's expression, Chen Kan felt a little relieved, it seemed that he didn't know the news that the Fuller House had been wiped out by himself.
In this way, the White Lotus Sect's intelligence network does not seem to be as strong as it thinks.
"My lord, the thirty-one mouths of the Hong family have all been arrested and brought to justice!"
Fang Xu reported the number to Chen Kan, and Chen Kan turned over without hesitation.
In the past, Chen Kan had always felt that the punishment of the Zhulian Nine Clans was very anti-human, and there should not be such a cruel and poisonous punishment in the Ming Dynasty.
Why does one person seek rebellion and the nine clans will be punished in a row, and the nine clans will be brought into the abyss by one person's choice.
But when he saw Hong Kui's aunts and wives, even the concubines were wearing gold and silver, he suddenly understood the meaning of this punishment.
I also suddenly understood the true meaning of the first lesson I took in Guozijian, "The Analects of the Township Party".
Once a person decides what to do, there are no innocent people in the true sense of the word, and since they want to enjoy the benefits of a person's ascension to heaven, they should also suffer the consequences of falling into the Nine Hells.
A person like Hong Kui, killing his nine clans, not only does not damage Yin virtue, but is doing the right thing for heaven.
When Chen Kan returned to Nancheng with Hong Kui's family, hundreds of people from the Jiaofang Division to the top and bottom, from officials to prostitutes, were also taken into prison by Shi Wen and others.
If you really want to interrogate the prisoner, you have to take action from Xu Yuan, an expert.
He took the old brothers who came out of Jinyiwei, divided them into dozens of groups, and began to torture those who were arrested to extract confessions.
Chen Kan was outside the cell, and he didn't plan to go home today.
Everyone knows that many of the people who were arrested were innocent, but Chen Kan had no choice now.
He must not let go of another fish that slips through the net.
The Yamen of the Terracotta Division in Nancheng was illuminated like day by countless torches, and the screams in the prison did not stop all night.
It wasn't until there was a touch of fish belly white on the horizon that Xu Yuan walked out of the prison with a tired look on his face.
He handed the sorted confessions to Chen Kan.
sighed: "I'm old, my energy is not as good as before, and the prisoner who has only been interrogated overnight is a little unbearable, and the lower officials have to squint for a while, and my lord, please take care of yourself." ”
