Chapter 146 Cai Wen's body is gone! 【order】

The old man ignored Qian Li, but a murderous intent flashed in his eyes that made Qian Li's heart palpitate. Even Qian Li was shocked when he saw the murderous intent. If he didn't know that the murderous intent was not aimed at If he said it himself, even Qian Li would be frightened.

Even so, Qian Li's heart was still pounding.

Just when Qian Li lost his mind, the old man's voice rang in his ears: "You don't need to care about the identity of the old man, but you can rest assured that the old man has a deep hatred with that Li Huan. It's the old man who turned into a ghost, and he won't let him go!"

Just listening to the old man's words, none of the people present would doubt the old man's hatred for Li Huan. After all, if he could say such a thing, if he didn't have a deep hatred for Li Huan, he would definitely not have such emotions.

Many people couldn't help but their eyes lit up when they heard the words, just by looking at the old man's demeanor, they knew that he was not an ordinary person, although the old man refused to tell them who his identity was.

But it seems that it is not the time to pursue the identity of the old man. If you have that time, you might as well think about how to deal with Li Huancai.

Besides, both the old man and Qian Li have said that Li Huan will most likely mobilize soldiers from the guards into the city to attack their families.

If they don't think about it, they will really be finished.

He Huai looked at the old man, and suddenly bowed his hands to the old man and said: "Since the master refuses to tell the name and surname, then we won't ask any more questions, but I'm just asking, sir, do you have any advice?"

More than a dozen eyes fell on the old man, and everyone knew what He Huai wanted to ask for advice.

Just like Qian Li, relying on his habit of serving Qian Zhong as an aide for many years, he can guess what Li Huan might do next, but being able to guess Li Huan's actions does not mean that he will be able to come up with a countermeasure. Falai.

So at this moment, even Qian Li put his hope on this strange old man who had never met them before, hoping that the other party could point out a clear way for them.

What kind of enlightenment will the old man in the restaurant here propose to Qian Li, He Huai and others? He doesn't mention it, but talks about the government office.

The morgue is a part of the government office, to be precise, it should be a part of the magistrate's jail. This small courtyard is located in a remote place, and it is often used to temporarily place the bodies of the dead in various homicide cases.

It can be said that apart from the office workers in the yamen, few people are willing to come to such a place where corpses are kept all year round.

Those thieves besieged the Green Bamboo Garden before, and killed hundreds of people at one time. Those hundreds of corpses were directly thrown into the raging fire under Li Huan's order. Turned into fly ash together.

But not long ago, the bodies of the dead who were blocked in the secret passage, including Sun Wei and Cai Wen, were brought back and placed in the morgue.

After all, people like Sun Wei and Cai Wen, even if they are dead, can't be dealt with like those thieves.

In the morgue, there are densely packed simple coffins. They are said to be coffins, but they are actually just a box made of simple wooden boards. It is good to put the corpse in it temporarily.

In the early hours of the morning, the bodies of Sun Wei, Cai Wen and the others were transported by Jin Yiwei and the servants of the government office, and placed here.

Because there were so many corpses at once, in order to prevent accidents, or to prevent wild dogs and cats from breaking into the mortuary and destroying the corpses, Huang Wenzheng left two servants in charge of temporarily guarding the mortuary for the first time ever. house.

The morgue was quiet, and looking at it from a distance made people feel like they didn't want to get close.

There was a creaking sound, and I saw a team of guards pushing carts, there were more than a dozen of them, and corpses were stacked on top of these carts.

Needless to say, these corpses were those literati who stormed the gate of the mansion not long ago, tried to besiege Li Huan, and were beheaded by Li Huan at the gate of the mansion.

Li Huan ordered Huang Wenzheng to collect the bodies of these literati, and to count the identity information of these people.

There were more than a dozen carts one after the other, and several corpses were piled up on each of them. These were still intact enough. As for those that were hacked to pieces by Jin Yiwei, they were directly used The straw mat was wrapped up.

Before approaching the morgue, a strong bloody smell rushed towards his face.

The guard pushing the cart looked at the closed door and couldn't help but said to his companion: "It's so damn unlucky, it's only been less than a day, and we've made two trips to this hellish place, you said these people Is there something wrong with my brain, I have nothing to do, but I want to seek bad luck from the imperial envoy, and I ended up taking my own life into it."

The other guard who was helping to push the cart only felt that the cart bumped and crushed a stone, and the corpses on the cart shook.

Listening to his companion's nagging, he subconsciously looked at the corpses on the cart, which were close at hand, especially one whose neck had been cut off in half and whose head was drooping. The face was facing him, and the pale eyeballs just looked at him like that.

With just a glance, the guard was taken aback by the dark eyes, and almost cursed: "I almost f*cking scared to death."

Speaking of which, the guard reflexively slapped the corpse's head, and immediately slapped that head aside.

The officer who was still complaining just now couldn't help laughing out loud.

But at this moment, a group of people also arrived in front of the morgue.

One of the leading guards stood in front of the door and shouted towards the inside: "Song Xiaowu, open the door quickly, brothers and sisters are here to see you off again!"

It turned out that one of the people left to guard the morgue was called Song Xiaowu, and the guard shouted and laughed, "Brothers, do you think Song Xiaowu and Huang Ping, two cowards, will pee their pants in fright. "

Immediately, one of the guards laughed and said: "Don't say it, if you say that they peed their pants in fright, I really believe it!"

The door slammed loudly, but after more than a dozen breaths, there was no movement at all, let alone the opening of the door.

The leading guard couldn't help being anxious, let go of his voice and shouted: "Song Xiaowu, Huang Ping, you two bastards, if you don't open the door again, be careful, I will take care of you."

Only this time, the closed door still didn't mean to open, and the small courtyard of the morgue was even more quiet.

Now the guards couldn't help but look at each other, with a bit of surprise on their faces.

One of the guards said to the leading guard, "Boss, although Song Xiaowu and the others say they are a little timid, they are definitely not in the mood to steal and play tricks..."

An officer next to him subconsciously said, "Something must have happened."

With a choking sound, the head catcher immediately pulled out the long knife at his waist, his eyes gleamed with a bit of brilliance, and suddenly kicked towards the door in front of him.

This head catcher has developed a whole body of strength, as a head catcher of the government office, his strength is acceptable, but it's a pity that he is only a third-rate one.

Of course, a third-rate head catcher can only kick down with a force of several hundred catties, which is enough to kick an ordinary person several meters away. Such a door really can't handle him.

With a bang, the originally closed door was kicked open by the other party, and a strong bloody smell rushed towards the face.

"wrong!"

Although the bloody smell emanating from the cart behind them was also very strong, but the head catcher realized something was wrong at the first time, because the bloody smell came from behind the door.

If it was the corpses that had been transported earlier, since most of the day had passed and there was no blood flowing, the smell of blood would have faded a lot.

The head catcher beckoned, and several guards who were also full of vigilance clenched their weapons and rushed in after the head catcher.

When several people rushed into the small courtyard of the morgue, they all exclaimed in unison when they saw two figures in uniforms of servants lying on the ground in the small courtyard, or at the door.

"Song Xiaowu, Huang Ping!"

The headhunter, Lei An, had a solemn expression at this moment, because the two corpses lying on the ground were Song Xiaowu and Huang Ping, who were assigned to guard the morgue here.

At this time, the necks of the two were twisted, and the corpses fell at the door, with blood flowing all over the floor. Even judging from the heads of the two who were barely connected to the corpses, there was a difference between the expressions of the two. Full of astonishment, when it was obvious that their necks were broken, the two of them were actually not mentally prepared.

An officer looked down at the blood stains on the ground, then checked the bodies of the two, and said to Lei An with a heavy expression, "Boss, Song Xiaowu and Huang Ping were killed when their necks were broken by force. Die, almost should have been dead for nearly half a day!"

When Lei An and the others heard this, their faces were extremely ugly, because Song Xiaowu and Huang Ping had only been sent here for more than half a day, which meant that not long after they sent the bodies of Cai Wen, Sun Wei and others here, Song Xiaowu [-]. Huang Ping and the others were killed.

Suddenly, Leian yelled, "Go to the morgue and check it out!"

When everyone reacted, they immediately walked into the dark, damp, and bloody morgue cautiously with their weapons in hand.

The corpses were placed there so quietly. Suddenly, Leian narrowed his eyes and rushed to a coffin. Looking at the empty coffin, he murmured: "It's gone, The body is gone!"

In the government office, Huang Wenzheng, who had experienced a lot of fright, was currently busy sorting out the information of the literati who were killed with the help of his staff.

Suddenly there was a rush of footsteps, and a figure appeared in Huang Wenzheng's sight.

When he saw the people coming, Huang Wenzheng couldn't help but said in surprise: "Lei An, didn't you ask you to send the bodies of those people to the morgue? How did you come back so quickly?"

That's a lot of work, it's normal that Leian shouldn't be back so soon.

Lei An looked terrified, seeing Huang Wenzheng immediately said: "My lord, it's not good, it's gone, the body is gone!"

Huang Wenzheng looked at Lei An with a puzzled look on his face and asked, "What corpse is missing?"

Not to mention Huang Wenzheng, even the other busy officials couldn't help looking up.

On the other hand, Lei An said with a wry smile: "My lord, Cai Wen's body is gone, and... and Song Xiaowu, Huang Ping and the others were killed."

When Huang Wenzheng heard it, his face showed an unbelievable look, but he quickly reacted and exclaimed: "What did you say? Cai Wen's body is missing? How could it disappear? Can a corpse still be able to survive on its own?" Can't you run away?"

In the end, Huang Wenzheng almost yelled at Lei An, it was Cai Wen's corpse, it would be fine if he lost other people's corpses, but nothing wrong with Cai Wen's corpse.

But Huang Wenzheng quickly stared at Lei An and said, "You said Song Xiaowu and Huang Ping are dead?"

Lei An nodded and said: "When my subordinates took people to transfer the corpses to the morgue, they discovered that Song Xiaowu and Huang Ping had their necks broken. They had been dead for at least half a day, and then hurriedly went to the morgue to check. Only then did I find that Cai Wen’s body was gone.”

Huang Wenzheng, who had calmed down a little, stared at Lei An and asked, "Where are the other corpses?"

Knowing what Huang Wenzheng meant, Lei An shook his head and said, "There are quite a few corpses of other people, including Sun Wei's, but Cai Wen's is missing."

Huang Wenzheng took a deep breath, waved his hands at Leian, and said, "Send more people to keep an eye on the morgue, and never allow the same thing to happen again."

Watching Lei An leave, Huang Wenzheng rubbed his forehead and couldn't help cursing: "Damn it, I already knew that there were still Cai Wen's remnants in the city, but why are you stealing a corpse!"

Cursing angrily, Huang Wenzheng got up and went to see Li Huan.

Cai Wen's body was stolen, this matter can be big or small, anyway, Huang Wenzheng dare not hide it from Li Huan.

In the hall, Li Huanduan sat in the middle, while several figures in armor stood there.

The leader is none other than Dong Huan, the nephew of Dong Cheng, the commander of the capital.

Dong Huannian, who is the commander of the First Guard, is about 30 years old. He can somewhat see the temperament of a soldier in the army, but he can also see the arrogance of this person.

Not only Dong Huan, but even the officials from thousands of households who were ordered to come face Li Huan with a little bit of arrogance in their hearts.

Although Li Huan is an imperial envoy and a confidant of the emperor, who made Li Huan too young.

It doesn't matter how little these people despise Li Huan.

Since several people entered the hall, they didn't say anything after paying homage to Li Huan. They just stood there, and Li Huan just watched. After a cup of tea time, Dong Huan and the others became a little anxious. when.

Only then did Li Huan put down his teacup, looked at Dong Huan and said in a startling way: "Commander Dong, let me ask you, if you confiscated 23 companies at one time, do you have enough soldiers?"

Dong Huan narrowed his eyes, and looked at Li Huan in horror, although he secretly guessed why Li Huan asked him to lead the army into the city when he entered the city. So much, even Dong Huan couldn't help but be terrified.

Taking a deep breath and reassuring himself, Dong Huan said solemnly: "Your Excellency, don't worry, this official has brought a total of 800 people into the city this time, and each family has a hundred people, which is enough to search the house."

Speaking of which, Dong Huan looked at Li Huan with some hesitation and said, "It's just that my lord doesn't wait to report to the court, but wait for the court officials to make a decision on the case before raiding the house?"

Li Huan glanced at Dong Huan lightly, and said in a calm tone: "It's a long way from Fujian to the capital. If the people in the court come up with a result for this treason case, I'm afraid it won't be possible without half a year." Yes, you said that Fuzhou City can be closed for half a year?"

Dong Huan shook his head. Fuzhou city would be sealed off for three to five days. Otherwise, there would be no supplies from outside the city to enter the city.

"But this time, twenty or thirty companies were confiscated..."

Li Huan couldn't help but sneered and stared at Dong Huan and the others, "I'll kill hundreds of scholars if I say I'll kill them, so what's the point of copying their homes?"

Listening to Li Huan's indifferent words, Dong Huan and the other generals couldn't help but feel a chill in their hearts, and their faces showed incomparably shocked expressions.

Dong Huan looked up at Li Huan who was sitting there in disbelief, but what Li Huan just said echoed in his mind.

Hundreds of scholars were killed?
Dong Huan felt that he should be a servant. As a general, even if he was the commander of a guard, he could be regarded as a high-ranking officer, but because of this, he also knew better about the difficulties of these scholars.

Not to mention hundreds of scholars, even one or two, if he dared to kill, once it was known and spread, even with his power, he would have to pay a high price to suppress it.

But now that Li Huan actually said that he killed hundreds of scholars at one time, the instinctive reaction of Dong Huan and the others was to not believe it, because this kind of thing was impossible for Dong Huan and the others to think.

Even if he was insane, he couldn't be crazy enough to kill so many scholars at once, because the impact would be too great, and it would definitely be a shocking case that caused a sensation in the world.

Li Huan naturally saw the reaction of Dong Huan and others, and said with a sneer at the corner of his mouth: "Just before you entered the city, the major families in the city gathered in Fuzhou and hundreds of literati gathered in the mansion Before the yamen, he failed to force the official to let him go, so he went so far as to attack the government yamen with a frenzied intention to besiege and kill the official."

Dong Huan and the others were stunned when they heard this. They had been outside the city all the time, how could they know this? Now hearing what Li Huan said, turmoil surged in their hearts.

Hundreds of scholars besieged the imperial court envoys, which was almost equivalent to rebellion. If it was ordinary people who dared to besiege the government office, if it was them, they would have ordered these people to be slaughtered without hesitation.

But... But these people are all scholars!

With a sneer, Li Huan said calmly: "I immediately ordered that most of these rebels who dared to besiege the imperial court's imperial envoys should be slaughtered!"

"Gollum!"

Dong Huan and the others were so frightened that they couldn't help swallowing, and they looked at Li Huan with an unspeakable awe and fear.

This is a lunatic. Hundreds of scholars will kill if they say so. There is no one in this world that he dare not kill.

You must not offend this imperial envoy, otherwise, if he killed so many scholars, it seems that he doesn't care about having one more.

People who had thought about Li Huan in a high position at such a young age, and who still had such small thoughts in their hearts, had already lost any thoughts at this moment, and all they thought about was not to provoke this murderous god no matter what.

Dong Huan tremblingly said with a strange look in his eyes: "My lord, you are joking with the lower officials!"

Apparently Dong Huan still couldn't believe it, Li Huan still had some luck in his heart that he ordered the massacre of hundreds of scholars.

Li Huan glanced at Dong Huan and the others and said, "Why, didn't you see any servants cleaning the ground in front of the government office when you just entered the government office to see me?"

Dong Huan and the others shrank their eyes when they heard the words, but Li Huan didn't say that they really didn't care. When they entered the mansion just now, they really saw a group of servants holding wooden buckets and brushes in front of the mansion, washing the blood with rags .

At that time, they didn't think much about it, but now hearing Li Huan's words, several people's eyes widened immediately, and the timid Qianhu official swayed directly, almost falling to the ground with fright.

Li Huan said indifferently: "It's a pity that you entered the city a little late, otherwise, you should be able to see the corpses of hundreds of scholars in front of the government office."

As he said that, Li Huan looked at Dong Huan with a half-smile and said, "Or you can go to the morgue next to the prison to take a look. Those corpses should all be sent to the morgue now."

Dong Huan and the others shook their heads repeatedly when they heard the words, and went to such an unlucky place to see a pile of corpses. Isn't this adding trouble to themselves and looking for bad luck?

"My lord was joking, since my lord said yes, then it must be!"

Speaking of which, Dong Huan said with a serious face: "Dong is absolutely the one who follows the adults!"

People say that killing people kills people, and they kill people without mercy. If I don't express my opinion quickly, if the other party randomly finds a reason to chop off my head and seize the military power, wouldn't it be too unfair to die.

Besides, Li Huan will be responsible for the collapse of the sky, isn't it just a house raid, even if Li Huan asked him to lead his troops to destroy the whole family, he would dare to do it.

Anyway, those people will only trouble Li Huan if something goes wrong. He is a small commander and he is innocent.

The rest of the Qianhu officials were more respectful than Dong Huan and said to Li Huanbiao loyally: "I will only wait for you to follow the lead."

After beating these people, Li Huan nodded in satisfaction after seeing the attitude of Dong Huan and the others.

Some of these people have guns in their hands, and the sky is high and the emperor is far away. They are all difficult to deal with. Li Huan saw the arrogant attitude that these people inadvertently showed when they met him just now.

If these people are not suppressed, the ghost knows whether these people will obey his orders in the future.

It's all right for these people to be obedient and obedient, but if it ruins his business because of this, then it will be a big problem.

If the corpses of those scholars in front of the government office were not cleaned up too quickly, Li Huan would have wanted Dong Huan and the others to see those corpses with their own eyes. I believe that if Dong Huan and the others saw the bloody scene in front of the government office If so, each of them was absolutely honest in front of him.

But seeing the reactions of Dong Huan and the others now, Li Huan is quite satisfied. Otherwise, he really wouldn't mind taking them to the morgue to see the bodies of those murdered scholars. We can only find someone who can take the head of one or two people to make an example of others.

Dong Huan and the others, who had no idea that some of them had walked before the gate of hell, felt only endless awe of Li Huan at this moment, but it was a mistake that allowed them to escape.

Knocking on the table case, pushing a stack of papers on the table case forward, Li Huan stared at Dong Huan and the others and said: "Here are the materials of the twenty or so families, you can take them later. , assign a manpower to me, and I will get things done, and I will reward you heavily, otherwise..."

Dong Huan and the others tensed up, nodded repeatedly and said: "I will not let you down."

Watching Dong Huan take over the stack of papers, Li Huan picked up the teacup, took a sip of tea and said lightly: "I know what kind of soldiers your guards are, but this time you all restrained them. , if anyone dares to make a fool of himself when raiding the house and seizing people, then don't blame Li for being rude."

Hearing what Li Huan said, the complexions of the few people changed, and they immediately assured Li Huan very solemnly: "Don't worry, my lord, if someone dares to stretch out his hand indiscriminately, this subordinate will be the first to chop him off."

Putting down the teacup, Li Huan said to Chen Yao: "Chen Yao, call a group of brothers and let them watch from the side."

Hearing this, Chen Yao glanced at Dong Huan and the others, and said with a hey smile: "Don't worry, my lord, the subordinates will send someone to keep an eye on them, it's the tricks of the brothers who don't even want to steal a copper coin." !"

At this moment, a captain of Jinyiwei quickly walked up to Li Huan and whispered a few words.

Li Huan frowned and said, "Let him in!"

Noticing Li Huan's expression, Dong Huan and the others immediately straightened their bodies, and stood there with lowered brows. Compared to before, their attitude was many times more submissive.

When Huang Wenzheng met Li Huan, he met Dong Huan and others. As the magistrate of Fuzhou, Dong Huan, the commander of the same guard, was no stranger.

Although Huang Wenzheng was at the side when Li Huan ordered people to go outside the city to mobilize the soldiers and horses of the guard, but Dong Huan and others came so quickly that Huang Wenzheng was somewhat unexpected.

Dong Huan still knows Dong Huan quite well, but he has never seen them so honestly and pleasing to the eye.

Just when Huang Wenzheng was curious about what trick Li Huan used to make these people behave honestly.

Li Huan looked at Huang Wenzheng and said, "Prefect Huang, I don't know if you are in a hurry to see me right now, but what's the matter?"

When he came back to his senses, he cupped his hands at Li Huan, Huang Wenzheng hurriedly said: "My lord, just now my subordinates came to report that two servants died in the morgue. The most important thing is that Cai Wen's body is gone."

"what!"

Li Huan raised his eyebrows, a stern look flashed in his eyes, he stared at Huang Wenzheng and said, "Cai Wen's body is missing?"

Huang Wenzheng bit the bullet and nodded.

Dong Huan and the others also looked surprised at this moment, while Li Huan waved his hands at Huang Wenzheng and said: "Prefect Huang, let's go down, I know."

When Huang Wenzheng left, he secretly glanced at Dong Huan and the others full of curiosity, and found that Dong Huan and the others were standing with their heads bowed, not to mention how humble and respectful their attitude was.

"It's really strange, how can these people be so honest!"

There was a murmur in his heart, Huang Wenzheng's face remained unchanged, and he quietly retreated.

After Huang Wenzheng left, Li Huan glanced at Dong Huan and the others and said, "Cai Wen's body is gone, what do you think?"

Dong Huan and the others were taken aback, you look at me, I look at you, finally Dong Huan took a deep breath and said: "My lord, my subordinates thought that this should be the remnants of Cai Wen's subordinates who stole Cai Wen's body , I am afraid that the adults will do something to his corpse."

After all, according to the laws of the Ming Dynasty, even if Cai Wen committed the crime of treason, even if he died, he might not be able to dismember his body as an example.

If there are loyal subordinates to Cai Wen, these people can naturally think of this, so it is not impossible to steal Cai Wen's body first and save Cai Wen's body from being dismembered.

In fact, Li Huan also thought of this, so apart from the shock at the beginning, he didn't react too much. Anyway, Cai Wen was already dead, and whether his body was stolen or not was irrelevant.

After all, there is a huge difference between a dead body of Cai Wen and a living Cai Wen. If Cai Wen is rescued alive, do you think Li Huan will be in a hurry.
