Chapter 99 The rain is coming and the wind is filling the building

Chaoyin Garden is a private courtyard. It can be said that it is a large courtyard that everyone in Fuzhou knows.

The reason why this other courtyard is famous is precisely because of its level of luxury that people can't help but gasp their tongues when they see it.

The other courtyard covers an area of ​​tens of acres, completely imitating the garden design of Jiangnan Water Town, with pavilions, pavilions, exotic flowers and plants, and even the introduction of running water, which runs through the entire water system of the courtyard. Being in it is like returning to the Jiangnan gardens. Average.

It's just that in such a luxurious garden, few people know who its owner is.

But just seeing that all the people who enter and exit are dignitaries, one can tell that the identity of the owner behind this garden is probably extraordinary.

It can be said that such a top-level garden, without sufficient status, may not be able to keep it.

But at this moment in this garden, there is a person of about forty, with a good appearance and a refined air, who is wearing brocade clothes at the moment, walking with his hands behind his back, walking leisurely among the pavilions.

And behind this elegant man is a big man, the man's body is strong and strong, and there is an evil spirit faintly exuding from his body.

Such a big man can definitely be called a murderer, but behind that refined and well-dressed man is like an obedient dog.

If someone from the Fujian officialdom saw this person, he would be shocked, because this person was none other than a province in Fujian, Cai Wen, the procurator who was in charge of judicial power.

Cai Wen paused, stopped in a pavilion, stretched out his sleeves and sat down in the pavilion, while the big man stood humbly at the entrance of the pavilion.

After glancing at the big man lightly, Cai Wen suddenly snorted coldly and said, "What a waste, you can't do such a small thing well, master, what's the use of me supporting you?"

With a puff, the big man's complexion changed drastically, he knelt down on the ground, kowtowed and said: "Master, please forgive me, even if the little one digs the ground three feet, they will definitely find Cheng Yi."

Cai Wen looked at the man kneeling in front of him, kowtowing non-stop, with blood oozing from his forehead, he kicked the man suddenly and snorted coldly: "My lord, I'm raising you not to let you eat dry food!" Yes, remember it for me, no matter what method you use, you must find Cheng Yi, especially the information about my master collected by the Jin Yiwei that he carries over the years."

Said Cai Wen sneered and said: "After this matter is done, the master will not miss your benefits, otherwise..."

Taking a look at the man kneeling on the ground, Cai Wen waved his hand and said, "You useless thing, get out of here. If Cheng Yi leaves, it will ruin the master's business. Take care of your family's life."

Thinking of Cai Wen's methods, the man couldn't help but shuddered and said, "Master, don't worry, Cheng Yi won't be caught, I'll come and see you!"

When the man left, Cai Wen's anger subsided a bit, and at this moment a figure came from around the corner, it was a scholar in green shirt.

The green-shirted scholar looked at Cai Wen and smiled slightly: "My lord, why should you be so annoyed? Han Ling is dead, and now he just got away from a small Jinyiwei family. With my brother's influence in Fujian, I found this person." Isn't it easy!"

Cai Wen glanced at the green-clothed scribe, sighed softly, and said, "It's not that I don't know that this is a critical moment for my brother, if I can be transferred to the capital this time, with the support of a teacher, at most it will be within three to five years. , as a brother, he is sure to sit in a department hall."

As Cai Wen said, a flash of anger flashed in his eyes and he said: "Who would have thought that the unknown pawn who didn't care at all at the beginning would have won the favor of the emperor and joined the Jinyiwei, and even dared to send someone to investigate this official."

That scholar in green shirt is Sun Wei, Cai Wen's confidant, who has been by Cai Wen's side for more than ten years, and has been helping Cai Wen in planning. Cai Wen can have today, and this scholar in green shirt has made great contributions.

Thinking of Li Huan, Sun Wei couldn't help sighing: "Who would have expected that Li Huan would have such good luck, but fortunately we have already bought many officials and school captains in the Jinyiwei Yamen, otherwise the people from the capital would have really taken the Jinyiwei. The evidence collected over the years, my lord's hard work for so many years, I'm afraid it will all be wasted."

With a slap on the table, Cai Wen said with murderous intent in his eyes: "I only blame the benevolence of the old man's thought at the beginning. If I had sent someone to kill the Li family earlier, I'm afraid there would be nothing like this!"

Sun Wei sighed softly: "This is my subordinate's fault, I was too worried at the beginning."

Cai Wen waved his hands and said, "I don't blame you for this matter. After all, you are also thinking about me, but I didn't expect that Han Ling would turn to Li Huan and intend to stab the old man in the back."

A cold light flashed in his eyes, and Cai Wen said ruthlessly: "He chose the dead end himself, so don't blame the old man for being ruthless."

As he said that, Cai Wen glanced at the green-shirted scribe and said, "Brother Gongya, Han Ling's matter should be finished cleanly. After all, he is the official of a thousand households of Jinyiwei. Don't be caught by others."

Sun Wei smiled and said: "Don't worry, my lord, the people who did it are all dead soldiers we have raised over the years, and there will be no future troubles."

Sighing, Cai Wen said with emotion on his face: "You said it's not good for him to be his thousand-household official, why can't he think about stabbing this old man in the back, this old man really doesn't want to kill people!"

Sun Wei stood aside, listening to Cai Wen's emotion, with a calm expression.

Cai Wen suddenly said again: "By the way, has the whereabouts of the man from the capital been confirmed?"

Sun Wei shook his head and said: "After all, we got the news a bit late. We hurriedly mobilized people to destroy Han Lingman's family last night. It's a pity that the people sent to Langqi Islet were a step late and failed to stop him."

Cai Wen narrowed his eyes and said, "Then send someone to look for me, but the point is that Cheng Yi, he most likely has something about the old man."

Getting up and pacing, Cai Wen paced back and forth in the gazebo for a long time, and suddenly said: "At the same time, send capable men to the capital. If they really escaped from Fujian, then intercept and kill them outside the capital."

Just as the southeast land was surging, a terrifying undercurrent was also brewing in the capital.

During the day, Li Huan took Luo Wenxiang and the others into the imperial prison in a manner that almost paraded through the streets. Not only the people in the capital were shocked by that scene, but all the officials were also horrified.

Especially when the news spread that several pavilion elders were detained outside the palace gate for seeking to see the emperor, the undercurrent became more and more turbulent.

Maoyan Lane is not very famous in the capital, but because there is a court elder living here, it is famous and widely known.

Xie Qian's mansion in the capital is located in Maoyan Alley. Even though Maoyan Alley is called an alley, it is actually very open, and Xie Qian's mansion is a very grand mansion.

The servants of Xie's mansion stood guard in front of the mansion gate as always, and it was a good job for officials, large and small, to visit, greet and send off on weekdays.

It is said that there are seven rank officials in front of the prime minister's door. Although there is no prime minister in Ming Dynasty, the cabinet ministers are not much different from the prime minister. It is conceivable that the servants of Xie's mansion have seen many high-ranking officials and nobles in their daily life.

However, on this day, the servants of Xie's mansion who were guarding in front of the mansion were a little dazed.
