Chapter 371 Auntie

Li Huan couldn't help raising his eyebrows when he heard the words, the smile on his face suddenly disappeared, and an invisible power was naturally revealed.

As for Li Huan's sudden change of face, Sun Mi and Du Zhong were all taken aback, unable to react.

But at this moment, Li Huan said to Lin Cong who was standing on the side, "Scribe Lin, please tell me about the crimes of these few people in front of you."

Just now, Sun Mi and Du Zhong walked into the hall. It can be said that Lin Cong watched every move, word and deed.

Although Lin Cong didn't know Li Huan very well, just now when Li Huan asked him about these people, Lin Cong had some guesses in his heart.

Especially when I just saw that Sun Mi and Du Zhong wanted to donate millions of taels of gold and silver to Li Huan, the intention of this move was almost self-evident.

Standing on the side, Lin Cong looked at Sun Mi, Eucommia and the others who were faintly complacent, and couldn't help showing a bit of pity and ridicule.

These people actually dealt with Li Huan in the same way they had dealt with the officials of Yangzhou Mansion before. It can only be said that they underestimated Li Huan too much.

If Li Huan was really a greedy and lustful person, I'm afraid he wouldn't get such a bad reputation. Don't those people who were confiscated by Li Huan know how to bribe Li Huan with gold, silver and beauty?
After Li Huan finished speaking, Sun Mi, Du Zhong and the others all changed their expressions, subconsciously raised their heads and looked at Li Huan, their eyes even showed a bit of puzzlement.

But at this moment Lin Cong took a deep breath, took a step forward, and his eyes fell on Sun Mi and Du Zhong, and Lin Mi slowly said: "Sun Mi, the lord of the Sun family in Yangzhou. He started his business selling private salt, and has more than a dozen lives on his hands.”

After all, it is a clerk who has stayed in the Yamen for more than ten years. He dare not say that he knows the details of the powerful families in Yangzhou Mansion, but he also knows a lot.

When Lin Cong narrated the crimes of the several families, Sun Mi, Du Zhong and the others couldn't help but come to their senses, with expressions of horror on their faces.

"My lord, forgive me, my lord, please forgive me. We have always been law-abiding, and we have never run amok in the countryside, disregarding human life."

Li Huan just glanced at the few people indifferently, and shouted in a deep voice: "Come here, let me take these people down, put them in prison, and wait for their punishment."

As soon as Li Huan finished speaking, several captains of Jinyiwei rushed into the hall, and were dragged out amidst the begging and even cursing of Du Zhong, Sun Mi and others.

Seeing Sun Mi, Du Zhong and others being taken away in that way, Lin Cong couldn't help breaking out in cold sweat on his forehead. These few houses were existences that few people dared to provoke in Yangzhou City. In the end, Li Huan In front of him was like a lamb waiting to be slaughtered.

Lin Cong felt even more in awe of Li Huan.

Just when Lin Cong's mind was wandering, Li Huan said to Lin Cong: "Go, remember to sort out the roster earlier, it will be useful in the future."

Lin Cong hurriedly bowed to Li Huan when he heard the words, and slowly backed out.

Just as Lin Cong was leaving, he vaguely heard Li Huan issuing orders and sending people to confiscate the residences of Du Zhong, Sun Mi and others.

Outside the government office, the servants brought by Sun Mi and Eucommia were guarding the carriages. Suddenly, they saw a group of Jinyi guards charging up fiercely. The carriage drove into a nearby courtyard that was requisitioned by Jin Yiwei. …

On this day, Jinyiwei troops from the brigade haunted every mansion.

As every mansion was confiscated, the people of Yangzhou who were still interested in watching the fun watched the relatives and relatives of the criminals who were taken away crying and begging for mercy. Gradually, fewer and fewer people watched the fun. There were not many figures to be seen on the bustling Yangzhou Fu Chang Street, apparently frightened by such momentum.

No one expected that Li Huan would play cards so unreasonably. He neither spent time investigating the case, nor made false claims with Yangzhou government officials.

It has to be said that Li Huan's actions really exceeded everyone's expectations, so that the entire Yangzhou government felt caught off guard.

Our

Later, after Xu Lin learned that the attack on Li Huan and his party failed, the reason why he dared to take all the government officials to meet Li Huan was because he wanted to buy time with Li Huanxu and the snake to find another way.

As a result, Li Huan didn't talk nonsense with him at all, and directly arrested the group of them.

Three days later, Jin Yiwei United Guards, a total of nearly 2000 soldiers, arrested them day and night, and only then did they arrest seven or eight people who should be arrested on the thick list.

All of a sudden, the rich and powerful in Yangzhou prefecture went from ten to seven or eight.

It can only be said that the real crimes of the tyrants in these places are not so much that the dead are not many, and all of them cannot stand the investigation, whether it is the news from the officials of Yangzhou government who interrogated overnight or the news learned from the mouths of Lin Cong and other officials, plus Jin Yiwei. According to the inquired news, the combination of several parties can almost guarantee that almost none of the family members in this raid will be wronged.

It can be said that anyone whose name was confiscated by Li Huan and whose house was ransacked had committed many crimes.

In the study, Li Huan was flipping through the thick pile of case files in front of him.

I saw Ma Ming walking over with a thick stack of case files that smelled of ink, and carefully placed them on the table in front of Li Huan and said: "Master Hou, this is the case that brothers have just interrogated those powerful, powerful and The case files copied by relatives."

Li Huan glanced at the thick case file, and said with a bit of coldness: "I didn't expect the tyrants in these places to commit so many crimes, bullying men and women, killing people and letting them go, killing people all over the house, and selling illegal salt." , hoarding the imperial court’s taboo armor, I really don’t know if I don’t check.”

Ma Ming stood there quietly, as if feeling the anger in Li Huan's words, he didn't dare to speak.

At this moment, a melodious piano sound suddenly sounded, the faint sound of the piano was like a clear spring pouring into the limbs and bones, making the whole body feel light, as if there was nowhere to fall, and it seemed like a person was in the clouds, standing on top of the white clouds , the melody is soft.

Even Li Huan, who was murderous because of looking through those files, couldn't help but dispel the murderous desire in his heart after hearing the ethereal sound of the piano.

The sound of the qin gradually faded away, Li Huan came back to his senses, and couldn't help frowning: "Where does the sound of the qin come from?"

Ordinary people may only think that the sound of the qin is ethereal and peaceful, with the effect of calming people's minds and minds, but in Li Huan's ears, he can hear that the sound of the qin clearly contains a certain internal energy, that is to say, the person who played the qin Not vulgar. …

Ma Ming had also heard the ethereal sound of the qin just now, and now he heard Li Huan's question, and immediately said: "This subordinate will order someone to investigate."

The place where Li Huan is staying now is not elsewhere, but the bamboo garden, the first garden in Yangzhou, which Xu family in Yangzhou spent nearly one million gold and silver to build.

The Xu family was ordered by Li Huan to ransack their family because of the crime of treason, and naturally all their family members were captured and imprisoned.

And this bamboo garden naturally became Li Huan's place to stay in Yangzhou Mansion.

Because Mrs. Xu built such a bamboo garden, he also built a lot of gardens near the bamboo garden, but they couldn't compare with the bamboo garden, but every garden looked extremely elegant.

Of course, those who can occupy a piece of land in Yangzhou Prefecture and build a garden are naturally not ordinary people, it can be said that they are all powerful and powerful in Yangzhou Prefecture.

Originally, this area could be regarded as the place where the rich and powerful of Yangzhou Prefecture used to spend their daily lives, but because of Li Huan's order, almost [-]% of the officials and powerful officials in Yangzhou Prefecture were arrested and imprisoned, so that the nearby gardens were closed. Confiscated.

A courtyard next to the bamboo garden is called Tianxiang Garden. It was originally a newly built garden by Du's family, just to show his identity. He never thought that Du Zhong was taken down by Li Huan's order, so now this courtyard has also been confiscated.

Originally, Tianxiangyuan still had servants to take care of it, but after it was confiscated, Tianxiangyuan was empty.

Obtaining Li Huan's order, Ma Ming came straight to Tianxiang Garden with several Jinyi guards.

Although the melodious sound of the qin before was not so obvious, whether it was Li Huan, Ma Ming or even many Jin Yiwei in the bamboo garden, they all heard the sound of the qin.

Ma Ming only asked about it, and learned from several Jinyi guards that the sound of the piano was probably from the side.
It came from Tianxiangyuan on the Internet.

Ma Ming naturally knew where Tianxiangyuan was. After all, he took people there to seize Tianxiangyuan. Ma Ming knew that there was no one in Tianxiangyuan. Ma Ming became vigilant.

After all, Li Huan lived in the bamboo garden, and Jin Yiwei's troops also focused on the bamboo garden, but did not guard against the nearby gardens.

After all, the bamboo garden itself is large enough, covering an area of ​​tens of mu, with many large and small courtyards. It can be said that the people of Jinyiwei only need to guard the bamboo garden to ensure Li Huan's safety.

Now the courtyard that should be empty suddenly heard the sound of a piano, which naturally made Ma Ming wonder if someone was trying to harm Li Huan.

You must know that in the past few days alone, there have been more than a dozen waves of assassins intending to break into the bamboo garden and assassinate Li Huan.

Although none of these assassins were able to break through Jin Yiwei's blockade and approach Li Huan, Jin Yiwei also suffered a lot of casualties after coming down a dozen times.

It is precisely because of this that when the sound of the piano came out of Tianxiangyuan, Ma Ming immediately rushed to Tianxiangyuan with a team of Jinyiwei.

He wants to see, who is so sacred, who is pretending to be a ghost here.

In Tianxiang Garden, several figures were in a pavilion.

These people have different temperaments, one has white hair and a stooped figure, like an old man. …

At this moment, several figures stood respectfully in the pavilion, looking at the woman in gorgeous clothes sitting cross-legged with some respect in their eyes.

Wearing a veil, the woman has a slender figure, and her extraordinary demeanor is naturally revealed.

In front of him was a guqin, with plain hands lightly pressing on the strings, and as the last sound of the qin dissipated, a woman in colorful clothes said in a voice that was very different from the tone of the Central Plains: " Miss's song is really like the sound of nature, Lan Fenghuang has never heard such a soothing song."

The old man next to him looked at the woman sitting cross-legged with a smile, and said with affection and respect in his eyes: "Auntie, you have already acquired the essence of this song, even if it is taught by Elder Zhongqu It may not be able to reach one or two."

A few people beside her also complimented the woman endlessly.

On the other hand, the woman just shook her head slightly after listening to the words of the few people. Instead, there was a bit of worry in the pair of watery eyes exposed outside, and the clear and sweet voice rang in the ears of the few people: "Has it been verified? , Uncle Xiang really fell into the hands of Jin Yiwei?"

An old man took a step forward and respectfully said to the woman: "Miss Hui, our people have verified that Xiang Zuo was invited by Jing Kui a few days ago. Kui and others attacked the imperial envoy's car at night a few days ago, because they lost to the imperial envoy Li Huan, they were severely injured in the end, and were captured alive by Jin Yiwei, and are currently being detained by Jin Yiwei."

Lan Fenghuang, dressed in colorful clothes, glanced at the old man and said softly: "Zu Qianqiu, I asked you to check the whereabouts of Xiang Zuo Shi. Is that all you found? Do you know where Xiang Zuo Shi is now?"

An old man beside Zu Qianqiu took a look at Zu Qianqiu, coughed lightly, bowed to the woman sitting there, and said: "Miss, our people have searched all over the prison, but we haven't found Xiang Zuoshi's whereabouts." , now in the entire city of Yangzhou, there is only one place where Zuo Shi is most likely to stay."

While speaking, the old man turned his eyes to the bamboo garden that was only separated from them by a wall.

The old man's meaning could not be clearer, Xiang Wentian is most likely to be detained in the nearby bamboo garden.

Lan Fenghuang chuckled and said, "Old man, according to what you said, Xiang Zuoshi is now in the bamboo garden."

The old man hurriedly said: "The old man just said that it is possible, but he is not sure. If it is not in this bamboo garden, I really can't think of where Jin Yiwei can detain Xiang Zuoshi."

A light flashed in Lan Fenghuang's eyes, and he said to the woman sitting there with some eagerness, "Miss, since Xiang Zuoshi is very likely to be in the bamboo garden, let's go to the bamboo garden to check it out.

If Xiang Zuo Shi is really among them, we can rescue Xiang Zuo Shi. "

Several figures couldn't help falling on the woman, obviously they were mainly women.

This woman is none other than Ren Yingying, the well-known Saintess of the Sun Moon God Sect.

With Ren Yingying's temperament, if other members of the Sun Moon God Sect were arrested or even killed, Ren Yingying would definitely not take it to heart, but Xiang Wentian was different.

Xiang Wentian is the closest confidant of her father's subordinates, and even she would call him Uncle Xiang. Of course, the most important thing is that Xiang Wentian has been tracking down her father's whereabouts all these years.

Not long ago, Xiang Wentian secretly sent a message to her, saying that after these years of investigation, he had roughly found out about her father's whereabouts, and it could be locked in the Jiangnan area.
