Due to the accurate information, Jin Yiwei knew very well where Qian Shounian's house was! So after entering the city, he went straight to Qian Shounian's house!
He first blocked the front and back doors of the house, and then started rushing into the yard to arrest people! After a lot of thinking, I discovered that a few people were not at home! As a result, the servant was immediately arrested and led the way to search for these people.
The few people who were away from the Qian family were either at Goulan House or a brothel. It is said that in these places only people with a big background can open such a business, and no one else dares to mess with him! However, the Jin Yiwei brought by Liu Haojia did not have such an explanation. They rushed in with people to get the people, causing chaos everywhere!
Fortunately, the madams who run the shops in these places are very discerning. When they see people wearing brocade uniforms rushing in to arrest people, they don't dare to stop them! Thinking back to the situation when the decree was announced in the morning, I naturally knew that things were going to change in Datong Mansion, so I did not stop them and allowed them to take the people away! But the business tonight is completely bad!
Huang Zeren is the prefect of Datong Town, but as a prefect he has much less power than prefects in other places! After all, this is a border town with frequent wars, and a civil official cannot speak as powerfully as a military commander!
But there are benefits to staying here! That’s not a lot to deal with every day. Because everything must be in line with military affairs. Moreover, sitting in this position can also take the opportunity to do business with the outside world, so he can be said to be living a very comfortable life as a prefect!
He spends his days either drinking tea, playing chess, or singing poems, which is very elegant! The only thing that makes him feel unsatisfied is that this place is located on the border, and the writing style is worse than other places. Every time he sings a poem, he always feels that there is something unfinished!
On this day, he went to the office early and was drinking and teasing with his concubine in the backyard. But just when he was about to accomplish something good, he was interrupted by the sound of a door knocking from outside the yard!
Magistrate Huang was naturally very angry, but he also knew that the servants would not disturb him if they had nothing important to do at this time, so he straightened his clothes and ordered the maid to let him in.
Just as he was steady, the door curtain was raised, and the old housekeeper rushed in! Just when Magistrate Huang was about to criticize him, he heard the housekeeper say loudly: "Sir, what's wrong, a group of guards in uniforms suddenly came to the city and went on a rampage to arrest people!"
This sentence scared the hell out of Magistrate Huang! Because Jinyiwei's reputation in the Ming Dynasty was not very good! Especially among officials, they are as terrifying as a scourge! But those who are taken away by the police rarely come back. Even if they do come back, they will be exhausted and injured, and they will never be able to hold office again!
Magistrate Huang, since you can come to the border town to serve as an official, you are naturally not someone who wants fame! For him, fame is not as useful as money! So when he heard that Jin Yiwei was arresting someone, his first thought was that something happened to him, and Jin Yiwei was coming to get him!
But Magistrate Huang is a man who has seen the world after all, and he wanted to understand one thing in an instant! If something happened to him, it wouldn't be the housekeeper's turn to report it to him! Those Jinyi guards would probably rush in and take him away!
So thinking of this, he calmed down and said, "How many Jinyi guards are here? Who are they arresting?"
The housekeeper said: "Not many Jin Yiwei came, only about twenty people. But they also brought a group of Wu'an Army soldiers! As for the people arrested, it seems that they are all members of the Qian family! And I heard that the Qian family The courtyard has been sealed by the Jinyi Guards, and no one is allowed in or out!"
Upon hearing this, Magistrate Huang felt relieved and his mind became more flexible! He rolled his eyes and asked, "Qian family, which Qian family? Is it the grain merchant Qian family?"
The housekeeper nodded repeatedly and said, "It's his home!"
As soon as Magistrate Huang heard what the housekeeper said, he immediately felt relieved! And he has already guessed what happened! It should be Wu Ninghou and those grain rats and salt rats who got into trouble, and they were not here for him at all!
As soon as his heart fell, he remembered another thing, that is, he had shares in the Qian family's grain store! If the Qian family is ruined, who will he get money from in the future? But he didn't dare to act rashly. He didn't intend to get into a fight between the two parties!
But he suddenly had an idea! He immediately ordered: "Go and notify the people in the county government and ask the officers, strong squads, and
All the archers are dispatched to Qian's house!
The housekeeper was also panicked at this time, and he actually blurted out: "Master, this is not a good time to snatch someone from Jin Yiwei!" 「
When Magistrate Huang heard this, he stamped his feet angrily and said, "Fuck you!" When people go there, they just stand there and watch everything that happens. Just don't cause trouble! 「
Then he turned around and shouted to his concubine: "Hurry up and change your clothes. Now I have to go see Mr. Zhang!" "
The concubine quickly helped him put on a full set of official uniforms. He casually got into the sedan chair. As soon as the sedan was lifted, he stamped on the bottom of the sedan! After getting the signal, the four bearers lifted up the sedan and ran away, and soon arrived in front of Zhang Jingping's house!
There is a bit of chaos in front of the Zhang family's front door now, with a constant flow of people! So the arrival of Magistrate Huang caused a big sensation. However, the gatekeeper still came up to him with a smile and said loudly: "Master Huang is here! I'm here to greet you!"
In the past, Magistrate Huang would have been able to joke with him. As the saying goes, the seventh-rank official in front of the prime minister's door must be given some face to the military attaché and porter guarding Datong Town! But today, Magistrate Huang lost all his previous thoughts and directly waved his hand and said: "Hurry up and inform your master that I have something urgent to see you!"
While speaking, he stepped into the courtyard gate himself. As soon as he entered the courtyard, he felt that the atmosphere in the house was different from usual. It was joyful but a little dull, and dull but also a little scared!
Magistrate Huang thought about it carefully and knew what was going on! The master has been promoted and is going to be a marquis! This is naturally a good thing for the servants! The more powerful the master's family is, the more benefits they can get! But these servants don't know the secret of this. This is simply a good show of rising and falling!
These servants don't understand these things, but they know how to watch their actions! They found that the master's family was not enthusiastic about the promotion of the title, and was even a little disgusted with it, so they were at a loss what to do, which led to the current situation.
Magistrate Huang was filled with emotion when he saw this. He also knew that after the Zhang family left for the capital, their downfall was right in front of them! Moreover, the two parties not only have official contacts, but also some private business contacts, so this actually made him feel a bit sad!
