As soon as Xu Yuan said these words, Chen Kan's expression suddenly changed. Fang Xu, who was kneeling below, was sweating profusely, and his face was so pale that there was no trace of blood.
But Li Jinglong just wanted to get rid of the blame now and didn't even notice the change in Chen Kan's expression.
On the contrary, a sneer instantly appeared on Li Yan's face, who had been staring at Chen Kan.
"Okay, Xu Yuan, you bring someone to ask Mr. Chen to come over."
Li Jinglong waved his hand and issued the order.
Chen Kan's expression changed several times. Li Jinglong asked Xu Yuan to go. Wouldn't that mean that he couldn't do anything on the road if he wanted to?
After all calculations, this Li Yan was not included.
I didn't think about talking to him at first, and I never thought that at the critical moment, my success would fall short because of this person.
Hateful.
Chen Kan looked at Li Yan with murderous intent in his eyes. This was the second person he wanted to kill immediately after coming to Ming Dynasty.
Jinyiwei's prison was not far from the teaching ground, and Chen Kan ordered Shi Wen to protect the personal safety of the officials who were taken to the prison.
Therefore, Chen Qia was quickly "invited" respectfully to the teaching field by Xu Yuan and two Jinyi captains.
The moment he saw Chen Qia, Chen Kan secretly decided in his heart that if he identified Fang Xu later, he would sacrifice his old face to protect him in front of Li Jinglong.
It’s okay not to wait for this Jin Yiwei.
After giving so much credit to Zhu Di, I don't believe that Zhu Di could kill him because of this matter.
Chen Qia is a middle-aged man full of righteousness. Because he has been in a high position all year round, even if he is in trouble, he still looks calm and composed. He does not have the fear that other low-level officials have when facing Jin Yiwei. look like.
Looking at the scene of thousands of people gathering on the teaching ground, Chen Qia raised his head, looked at Li Jinglong and said coldly: "Why, Mr. Li, it's not enough to take me to prison. This is to intimidate me. I want to Relying on the numbers to scare me out of my courage, so that I can admit my involvement in King Jin's rebellion?"
I have to say that scholars are not generally sharp-tongued.
After hearing Chen Qia's words, Chen Kan, who was originally extremely depressed, almost laughed out loud.
Li Jinglong's face was full of embarrassment, and he cupped his hands towards Chen Qia and said, "Shilang Chen is joking. Today's arrest of criminals by the Jin Yiwei has nothing to do with me. It's all an order from the commander. No, my uncle." When I returned to the Yamen, I found that many people had been arrested by mistake, so I invited you to come over and ask you to identify the murderer who arrested you."
Li Jinglong bites the word murderer very hard, which is equivalent to telling Chen Qia that no matter who you identify, I will give you justice.
After saying this, Li Jinglong was filled with embarrassment. For Jin Yiwei, who was used to being arrogant, this was an unprecedented soft attitude.
But it was impossible not to give in. Jin Yiwei did go too far this time.
Since Grandfather Taizu established the Imperial Guard, apart from a few attacks against a few court officials, there has never been a situation where most of the officials in the capital were imprisoned at once.
Not to mention that the significance of Taizu's past times was completely different from this time.
Taizu's purpose was to combat party strife, seize power, consolidate imperial power, and take the opportunity to lay a century-old foundation for the stability of the Ming Dynasty.
And what is it this time? The frame-up and involvement of a feudal king in rebellion.
Not even on the same scale.
If this matter is not handled properly, I don’t know how furious His Majesty will be.
Therefore, Li Jinglong had to give in and find a scapegoat to clear the air for him.
"snort."
After listening to Li Jinglong's sophistry, Chen Qia rolled his sleeves and then said nothing.
Chen Kan stood beside Li Jinglong and didn't dare to move. If he made any move at this time, it would really be self-inflicted.
I was anxious, and I had to put on a calm look on my face.
Now Chen Kan really wants to kill this piece of shit Li Yan.
Seeing that Chen Qia had no objection, Li Jinglong shouted impatiently: "Xu Yuan, let's start."
Following Li Jinglong's order, the two Jinyi captains came to the back of Fang Xu, who was already limp on the ground, and roughly lifted Fang Xu up.
As if fearing that Chen Qia could not see Fang Xu's face clearly, Xu Yuan thoughtfully set up two huge torches beside the two of them.
Xu Yuan smiled lightly and said, "Master Chen, is it him?"
When Fang Xu saw this, he couldn't help but flash a sad smile on his face.
To say that I don't hate Chen Kan in my heart would be a lie. If it weren't for Chen Kan, he would still be the chief flag officer of the Imperial Guard who made people talk about him.
At the same time, Fang Xu also felt a little regret in his heart. If he had not taken action at the Qinhuai River, if he had turned a blind eye to Chen Kan's order tonight, if...
It's a pity that things have come to this. It's a pity that there are no ifs in life.
Fang Xu's face was gray and his eyes were full of despair.
He was torn between whether or not to confess Chen Kan.
He was unwilling to give up Chen Kan. If it weren't for Chen Kan, he would not have fallen to this point.
After thinking about the 1,300 taels of silver hidden in the mud three feet deep under the foot of the bed at home, he felt even more unwilling.
Fortunately, his son was also there when he buried the money, and it was he who handed him the hoe.
With so much money, it is enough for the two of them to take care of their mother for a lifetime.
Haha, I didn’t expect my Fang Xu’s life to be so valuable.
After sighing with emotion, Fang Xu glanced at Chen Kan gratefully. Without Chen Kan, he would not have been able to earn so much money as a servant in Jinyiwei all his life.
Seeing the will to die in Fang Xu's eyes, Chen Kan became even more angry.
If he hasn't realized it yet, this Xu Yuan is basically working with Li Yan. They just want to trample him down so that he will never be able to stand up again. This is really a waste of his two lives.
Chen Kan can also understand why they hate him so much.
Because of his arrival, the power that originally belonged to them was taken away.
In order to save a group of officials he didn't know, Chen Kan couldn't make such a cold-blooded choice by involving his savior.
Those officials, just leave it to fate, I will try my best.
"well!"
Sighing, Chen Kan took a step forward, faced Li Jinglong and said, "Sir, what happened tonight..."
"not him."
Before Chen Kan could say that it was all the fault of his subordinates, he heard a clear voice coming from below the high platform.
Chen Kan was stunned on the spot. He suspected that he had heard wrongly. What did Chen Qia say?
Fang Xu's eyes were also full of disbelief.
Because when he arrested Chen Qia, he specifically reported his name.
"Master Chen, did you say something wrong?"
Li Yan's expression changed drastically, and Xu Yuan also looked shocked.
Chen Qia rolled his sleeves and said dissatisfied: "Although I am old, I am still sharp in my skills. You don't think that I can even admit the mistake of the person who took me to prison, right? "
