Chapter 151: Catching Li Bingzhu at Night
boom!
The cold moon hung high in the sky, and the door of Li Mansion was slammed open by the officers and soldiers door.
Xiao Chen stood high on the horse, his cold eyes slightly focused, and with a slight raise of his face, a chilling air silently overflowed.
Xiang Yichun's expression suddenly became more solemn, he raised his arms and shouted, "Search the house immediately!"
"Every property and people, etc., will be taken into custody!"
"rush!"
After saying this, he rushed into the Li Mansion head first.
The officers and soldiers of the two teams shouted loudly at the same time, and with fighting spirit, they followed Xiang Yichun and filed in.
Xiao Chen reined in his horse and sat leisurely on the horse. On the side, Wang Jinli and Xing Tianming, who had followed him, kept their heads bowed respectfully. They couldn't help but secretly wiped cold sweat and peeked anxiously at the situation in the mansion. .
After casting a sidelong glance at these two treacherous people, Xiao Chen sneered and glanced at Wei Zhongxian.
Wei Zhongxian understood immediately, and hurriedly knelt on the ground, using his back as a saddle, and helped Xiao Chen dismount.
Xiao Chen straightened his luxurious gold-threaded purple dress, lifted up his Xiangyun brocade boots with proud steps, and walked leisurely and arrogantly towards the main hall where the door of Li Mansion was open.
At this time, the oil lamp in Ruoda's hall in the magistrate's residence was brightly lit. Li Bingzhu was dressed upright, with a serious look on his face and an upright look, waiting for Xiao Chen's arrival.
Seeing Xiao Chen striding into the room, Li Bingzhu remained motionless, sitting upright with obvious offense and looking coldly at this aloof envoy of the emperor.
When Xiao Chen saw this scene, he couldn't help but sneered, and a touch of playful contempt overflowed unceremoniously, "Master Li's singing is really good in this opera. Even if it is placed in the Nanqu troupe in the capital, he can still be a pillar."
"Looking at you like this, have all your family members been sent away?"
"Have all the gold and silver treasures of Tan Mo been transferred as well?"
After two consecutive joking questions that hit the point, Xiao Chen was still playful as usual, with no serious changes at all, let alone the disappointment that the trip was about to fail.
It's chillingly calm.
Li Bingzhu's throat couldn't help but swallow nervously a few times. Even though his eyes still maintained composure, the fingers hidden in his sleeves were trembling uncontrollably.
How could this Xiao Chen know so clearly?
How could such a person be the money-grubbing and lustful idiot as rumored?
It seems that he has fallen into a trap!
Li Bingzhu's face turned pale instantly, and the calm expression he tried to control also changed nervously and unnoticeably. When he spoke, he was still calm and calm as usual, "I don't know what the governor means by this."
"It's just that I have long heard of the Governor's behavior in Jiangdong."
"Since today, the Governor, you have burned your unreasonable fire on Xiaguan's head, and there is no way for him to escape, I might as well enjoy it, Lord Governor, and welcome him well."
Xiao Chen nodded, as if he had listened to his words. He walked around the room with his hands behind his hands for a long time, and couldn't help but sigh sympathetically, "Since you are already prepared, I don't have to waste my words."
"Master Li, please invite me."
Li Bingzhu was slightly startled, his face couldn't help but turn a little paler, and the shock and fear in his eyes couldn't help but be clearly revealed at this moment.
He didn't expect that Xiao Chen wouldn't even argue with him, which made him unable to say anything to counterattack, and even the chance to suppress Xiao Chen and get some relief for himself was lost.
His eyes darkened heavily. At this moment, looking at such a young and powerful eunuch in front of him, Li Bingzhu had only one thought in his mind. This person was by no means simple.
Today, I actually encountered a ruthless character.
Seeing the change in Li Bingzhu's expression, Xiao Chen could more or less guess how shocked and regretful he was at this moment, but he had no time to listen to this hypocrite's mental journey, so he just smiled deeply and said, "Master Li, you are a smart man If that’s the case, then I don’t need to waste any more words, right?”
"After all, it's late at night, and I'm already very tired from being tormented by your little gifts tonight. If I don't want to treat you politely anymore, the arrest of those officers and soldiers will not look good."
Li Bingzhu gritted his teeth with a pale face, the veins on his forehead slowly popped out, and the ultimate humiliation and resentment hit him.
But at this moment, he also clearly understood that he would not be able to escape tonight.
I can only take this last resort, maintain my dignity, and leave calmly.
Li Bingzhu walked down from the main seat step by step, with heavy eyes, staring gloomily into the night and walked out.
When passing by Xiao Chen, his steps paused slightly and his lips moved, but in the end he didn't say anything.
Xiao Chen is unfathomable, and even makes people feel a little scary.
…
After arresting Li Bingzhu, things turned out as Xiao Chen expected. Not much money was found in Li Bingzhu's home, and no one of Li Bingzhu's family members were caught.
Together with this late-night arrest, only Li Bingzhu was captured.
Everyone thought that Xiao Chen was going to be furious. Including Wang and Xing, they all looked at Xiao Chen anxiously, fearing that they would be implicated.
But Xiao Chen was calm and composed, still maintaining the same sharpness as before, and raised his arms and shouted: "Retreat the troops!"
"yes!"
"withdraw troops!"
Xiang Yichun responded immediately.
All the officers and soldiers could not help but be slightly startled, but soon, an unprecedented solemnity appeared in their eyes.
Because they all discovered that the legendary imperial envoy, who was greedy for money and lust, actually had such a demeanor that he could not change his expression even if the mountain collapsed.
Xiao Chen's calmness and determination made everyone present even more confused. A kind of fear of the unknown and powerful filled everyone's hearts.
On the side, Ji Hongluan rode behind Xiao Chen and couldn't help but look at Xiao Chen carefully under the moonlight.
Everything that happened tonight gave her a deeper shock than experiencing a big battle.
If Xiao Chen and Li Bingzhu had a big fight, maybe there would be nothing surprising about it. After all, Xiao Chen was a eunuch, a dignified fourth-grade civil servant, so it was normal for him to be unable to suppress him.
But this dog eunuch actually managed to suppress this extremely unfavorable situation by himself.
"Why, are you falling in love with me now?"
"Don't keep your eyes on me, I can't stand you ugly guy being so enthusiastic."
Xiao Chen raised his eyes, with a mischievous smile in his eyes.
This woman was staring at him so blatantly, why couldn't he notice it when she looked at her?
"Okay, since you didn't cause any trouble to the governor tonight, I will reward you with another gift."
"What?" Ji Hongluan was lost in admiration for Xiao Chen. She was confused for a moment and asked casually.
Xiao Chen raised an eyebrow, and a touch of surprise flashed in his eyes, "Hey, you little slave finally learned to be obedient."
"That's very good. It doesn't hurt that I will give you two gifts together."
"As a reward, you can warm my governor's bed for two nights!"
"Xiao! Chen!"
