Chapter 147 We Fight Our Own Way to Survive
A secluded alley, this alley is quite remote in Fuzhou City, compared to the one next to the bustling street, it is rarely visited by people.

From a distance, I saw two carriages approaching slowly. The carriage stopped at the entrance of the alley. The person in charge of driving the carriage jumped down, stepped forward and raised the curtain, and saw a figure stepping out of the carriage first. came out of it.

This person is none other than the old man who came to the restaurant uninvited earlier and met Qian Li and He Huai.

The old man got down from the carriage, and his eyes fell on a small courtyard deep in the alley.

At this time, several figures walked out of the carriage.

Qian Li, He Huai, Zhao Ming and others stepped out of the two carriages one after another, and more than a dozen people were crammed into the two carriages. It can be seen that these people are already very cautious in Fuzhou City.

If it were the same as in the past, with their identities, if they were traveling, it would not be a carriage leading the way, and there would be more than a dozen servants guarding them.

It was really the first time that so many people were squeezed into a carriage like this.

But because the old man said that he would take them to a place to meet someone, Qian Li, He Huai and the others were also very curious about where the old man would take them and who they wanted to meet.

At this moment, seeing the carriage stopped, Qian Li looked around, and seeing the old man took them to a remote alley, he couldn't help but said to the old man: "Sir, I don't know who you want to take us to meet ?”

The old man didn't speak, but walked into the alley first.

When Qian Li and the others saw each other, they looked at each other, and then followed behind the old man together.

Now that they have come, they can't just leave like this, and they are also very curious about who the old man is going to bring them to meet.

The old man walked very slowly, but the alley itself was not deep, it took only a dozen breaths. When the old man stopped in front of a door, several people also stopped.

The young man walking in the front stretched out his hand and knocked on the door a few times, and soon the door opened, revealing a figure.

When Qian Li and the others saw this, they couldn't help showing puzzled looks, they didn't know this person, could it be that this is the person the old man wanted to bring them to meet.

I saw this man wearing sackcloth and filial piety. Judging from his posture, it seemed that some funeral was going on at home.

When the man saw the old man, a look of surprise flashed in his eyes, and when he was about to speak, he heard the old man say, "Take everyone in."

Then the man looked at Qian Li, He Huai and others who were following behind the old man, stepped out of the way and said, "Please!"

Although they were full of doubts in their hearts, a group of people followed the old man into the courtyard.

As soon as they entered the courtyard, Qian Li and the others were sure that the family was indeed having a funeral, because there was obviously a banner hanging in the courtyard, and looking towards the hall, a simple mourning hall was clearly visible.

What puzzled Qian Li and the others was that, generally speaking, if a family has a funeral, the neighbors will come to help, and even relatives will come to offer incense. It's so deserted right now.

Although they were full of doubts in their hearts, the old man who brought them here did not speak, and they were naturally embarrassed to ask at this time.

The young man who opened the door earlier directly led the group of people towards the mourning hall. Qian Li and the others looked at each other and followed without stopping.

Earlier, the old man had already said that he would bring them to meet someone, but now that they were here, they wanted to see who the old man wanted to show him with his mysterious appearance.

Just as Qian Li and the others were having various thoughts in their hearts, the old man suddenly stopped, and it was only at this moment that everyone realized that they had entered the mourning hall.

The old man said slowly: "Guys, since you're here, why don't you offer incense!"

Qian Li and the others were taken aback for a moment, and subconsciously looked towards the seat enshrined in the middle of the mourning hall.

In the middle of the mourning hall is a coffin, behind which is the enshrined spirit seat.

After looking at it, Qian Li and the others couldn't help being stunned. There were two spiritual tablets there, and the name of one of them was very familiar to them.

蔡文
When Qian Li and the others saw the name on the spiritual seat clearly, their faces changed drastically. They never thought that they would see Cai Wen's spiritual seat here.

Since Cai Wen's spiritual tablet is placed here, these people...

"you!"

Qian Li and He Huai looked at the old man and the others with complicated expressions on their faces.

At this moment, the young man who opened the door for them earlier handed them the joss sticks.

Taking a deep breath, Qian Li and He Huai took the joss sticks, stepped forward slowly, and bowed respectfully to the spiritual seat.

No matter what kind of person Cai Wen is, Qian Li and He Huai still admire Cai Wen's ability. What's more, except for the Qian family, the rest of them are even more attached to Cai Wen, which can be regarded as Cai Wen's ability. Wenyi party.

Now that Cai Wen is dead, if there is no incense in front of Cai Wen's spirit, they will feel sorry for themselves.

In addition to Cai Wen, there is actually Sun Wei in that spiritual seat. Everyone is no stranger to Sun Wei. Everyone knows that he is Cai Wen's most trusted aide and confidant. He has been with Cai Wen for more than ten years. Wen's relatives are even more trusted by Cai Wen.

Several people also bowed to Sun Wei's spiritual seat.

At this time, there was no one else in the mourning hall except for the young man and the old man standing there with his hands behind his back, looking straight at the spiritual position in a daze.

It can even be said that the courtyard is quiet, and the rest of the people are gone, as if there is no one else except them.

Such a quiet environment even made the atmosphere a little depressing, finally Qian Li took the lead and cupped his hands at the old man, "I don't know who sir is going to introduce us to?"

The old man seemed to come back to his senses at this time, pointed to the coffin, then pointed to the spiritual seat and said: "Isn't it there?"

"what?"

Looking at the coffin and the coffin, Qian Li and the others suddenly felt like they were being tricked. The old man said that he wanted to take them to see someone, but now the old man told them that he saw a dead man.

Suppressing the anger in their hearts, He Huai, Zhao Ming and the others looked at the old man's expression suddenly became unkind. The method of the family's predicament, I'm afraid they have already left in a hurry.

Qian Li took a deep breath, looked up at the old man and said, "Now that I have seen you, sir, should you tell me how to solve our predicament!"

The old man turned around slowly, glanced at the crowd and said: "The way to break the situation is very simple, it just depends on whether you have the guts!"

He Huai snorted coldly and said, "Li Huan is going to kill us all, what else are we afraid to do?"

Qian Li clasped his hands and said, "Please tell me clearly, sir!"

The old man had a half-smile, looked at the few people with cold eyes and said, "Kill Li Huan!"

"what?"

A few people thought that the old man would tell them what to do, but in the end they were asked to kill Li Huan, which naturally surprised everyone.

Someone couldn't help but yelled at the old man: "Old guy, don't pretend to be a fool. If you have nothing to do, just say it. There is no need to make us happy here."

The old man didn't feel annoyed at all, he just looked at them calmly, even though they were ridiculed and ridiculed him, he didn't care.

On the other hand, Qian Li looked extremely calm, staring at the old man, and finally said after a while: "You are right, the easiest, most direct and most effective way to break the situation right now is to kill Li Huan!"

As soon as Qian Li opened his mouth, the rest of the people looked at Qian Li, but after hearing what Qian Li said, their expressions changed drastically.

Zhao Ming turned to Qian Li and said, "Qian Li, you can believe what this old guy says. I don't think this method is reliable at all. He must be worried..."

Qian Li glanced at Zhao Ming and said, "Brother Zhao, tell me, besides killing Li Huan, what else can you do?"

Zhao Ming's words froze for a moment, and then he heard Qian Li roar: "He is the imperial envoy, and he used the name of treason to put all the adults in the prison, and even killed the superior without mercy. Hundreds of scholars, now the entire Fuzhou city can be said to be under his control."

As he said that, Qian Li said again: "The commander of the guard outside the city is Dong Huan, do you think he will obey Li Huan's order and enter the city to deal with us?"

The expressions of Zhao Ming, He Huai and others changed.

Then one person subconsciously said: "But he is an imperial envoy, if we go to kill him, it will be tantamount to rebellion..."

Hearing this, Qian Li looked at the other party with an idiot-like gaze, and said with a sneer, "Don't forget, my lords have already been accused of rebellion by him, and none of us can escape."

He Huai smiled sadly and said: "There are also those who besieged Li Huan not long ago, and they are all descendants of our families. When Li Huan finds out their identities, this is another crime of rebellion."

A look of madness flashed across Qian Li's eyes, and he looked at the crowd and said, "So, everyone, in fact, we are destined to be accused of rebellion at Li Huan's place. If this is the case, then kill him, the imperial envoy. There’s that ray of hope.”

The old man clapped his hands aside and praised: "That's right, kill Li Huan and rescue all the adults who were imprisoned, then you will still be a high-ranking family of officials. If not, the family will be ransacked and the family will be destroyed in an instant!"

All the people present look at me, I look at you, and at this moment Qian Liyi pointed to the coffin in the main hall and the spiritual seat above and shouted: "Why are you still hesitating, if you don't make up your mind, this is our role model." .”

Immediately, the complexions of He Huai, Zhao Ming and others changed, showing a firm look on their faces, and they said to Qian Li, "Do it!"

"Either Li Huan is dead, or we are dead!"

Qian Li's eyes flickered with madness and said: "With the strength of our families, we may not be able to kill Li Huan, everyone, for the sake of the family, we have no choice."

"For the family!"

"For the family!"

Watching Qian Li and others leave in a hurry, the old man was standing in the mourning hall, and the young man's voice came from his ear: "Master, do you think they can succeed?"

At this time, the old man was holding a stick of incense in his hand and bowed to the spiritual seat above, and then took a step forward and inserted the incense candle into the incense burner.

"It's just a random move, so treat it as waste, if it doesn't work, it's fine, if it works, it's good!"

The young man and the guard who had been following the old man looked at the old man with admiration in their eyes.

prefect yamen
Li Huan looked at Dong Huan who was sitting on the opposite side of him, and said, "Why, Commander Dong told you that you have no confidence in the strength of your opponents, and you are a little panicked?"

Dong Huan hurriedly said after hearing the words: "What are you talking about, my lord? The soldiers who dared to fight in the defense station brought by this subordinate will not be afraid of a group of mobs. This subordinate is just thinking, are those people really as good as your lord?" As expected, it will be delivered to the door on its own initiative.”

Speaking of which, Dong Huan looked at Li Huan hesitated and said: "After all, openly besieging the government office and attacking and killing imperial envoys is equivalent to treason, and it is an unforgivable crime to punish the nine clans."

Li Huan said indifferently: "Aside from killing me and fighting for it, otherwise, do they have other options?"

As Li Huan said, he patted the pile of files beside him. Dong Huan knew that this file was the information about those scholars who tried to besiege Li Huan not long ago sent by the prefect Huang Wenzheng.

Many of them are the children of various families, and they tried to besiege the imperial envoy in front of so many people in broad daylight. This crime of treason cannot be washed away.

At this moment, Dong Huan felt a little sympathetic to these families who were driven to a dead end by Li Huan.

It can only be said that these families have been mistreated by Cai Wen from the very beginning. Perhaps Li Huan came to Fujian this time with the intention of taking down Cai Wen's family with the help of Han Ling's case, even if it is true in the end. All those officials implicated by Cai Wen were dismissed from their posts. At most, those officials lost their lives, but it would never implicate the families behind them.

After all, unless it is the crime of treason, the family will be implicated. For other crimes, no matter how serious they are, they will be killed.

Even if Cai Wen sent people madly with the intention of killing Li Huan, Li Huan took the opportunity to take down these officials, and they would be labeled as Cai Wen's party members, and finally reported to the Third Division. Wen alone.

But when these people organized the scholars of each family to try to persecute Li Huan, and even thought of besieging Li Huan, each family was really trying to die.

At this time, these talents really have no turning back.

With these thoughts flashing through his mind, Dong Huan couldn't help looking at Li Huan who was sitting there, secretly shocked in his heart, all this seemed to be within Li Huan's expectation.

Especially now, Li Huan asked several other thousand households to leave first to prepare, but kept him and some of the elite he brought, which was clearly deceiving.

Even Dong Huan himself could think that if Jin Yiwei was staring at his subordinates, they might be honest, but once they had the chance, they would definitely confiscate Li Huan's Qian family and Zhao family. The news of the families of the He family and the He family was passed on.

It's true that those under him have no connection with the major families. Maybe they dare not defy Li Huan's order openly, but they will definitely do it if they just pass on the news.

Now seeing Li Huan's appearance of wisdom pearls in his hands and the presence of an old god, Dong Huan can't help but feel sad for those people under him. He only hopes that those people are smart enough, otherwise once he contacts the various families, he can help Li Huan pass the news Giving it to those families not only helped Li Huan achieve his goal, but also cost his own life.

Li Huan can be said to kill two birds with one stone.

Glancing at Dong Huan faintly, Li Huan said, "What is Master Dong thinking?"

Dong Huan smiled wryly and said, "I'm thinking, my lord is really in control of everything, but I don't know how many thousands of household officials I have under my command, and in the end a few idiots courted their own death."

Li Huan couldn't help but glanced at Dong Huan. Dong Huan was able to think of this, obviously he had seen through his calculations, but like Dong Huan, he only figured it out now. I really don't think they have Dong Huan's thoughts.

With a faint smile, a sharp look flashed in Li Huan's eyes and said: "If that's the case, then they are to blame!"

"There is no way for good or bad, but people call themselves!"

When Qian Li returned home in a hurry, he saw his second brother walking around in a very irritable manner, yelling again and again, only scaring the servants around him to hide away.

When he saw Qian Li, Qian Yong's eyes lit up immediately, he strode forward, grabbed Qian Li with his big hands like iron tongs and said: "Fourth brother, you are finally back, if you don't come back, I'm going to take someone to kill that traitor."

Hearing Qian Yong's words, Qian Li couldn't help raising his eyebrows, looked at Qian Yong in surprise, and said, "Second brother, why did you say that?"

Qian Yong's eyes were full of hatred and he said: "Yu'er and the others were killed by Li Huan. For the sake of the family, I can endure this revenge for the time being, but he, Li Huan, has already mobilized soldiers and horses into the city, and is ready to send them to the city at any time." Our family ransacked the house, if we don’t try our best, we might lose the chance to do it!”

Qian Li's expression changed and he said, "Where did the second brother get the news?"

Qian Yong gritted his teeth and said, "Wei Qianhu sent his confidant to tell us secretly just now, he told us to find a way to escape, as many as we can escape, even if it's for our Qian family's roots!"

Breathing out a foul breath, Qian Yong's eyes flashed with madness, he gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, okay, as I expected, his series of actions are calculated, since Li Huan won't give us a way out, then We're going to fight our own way."

As he said that, Qian Li said, "Second brother, call all the servants immediately, and take out the weapons we have secretly stored and distribute them to them."

Qian Yong was not afraid when he heard the words, but he looked at Qian Li with a bit of excitement and said: "Fourth brother, do you also think we should go find that Li Huan desperately?"

Qian Li looked at Qian Yong and said, "Little brother thinks that what Second Brother said makes sense, if we don't work hard, we won't even have a chance to work hard!"
