Chapter 55 I am guilty

 This time the house was searched, not counting the stolen goods that wealthy businessmen from all over the country "honored" Hu Chong, a full 30,000 taels of silver were found, and a total of twenty carts were loaded!

When they arrived at the Zhenfu Division, even the Jin Yiwei who were accustomed to confiscating homes had never seen such a battle. They made way for Jiang Lan's motorcade and gathered around to watch and discuss.

"This is not the first day Jiang Baihu has taken office, but he actually made such a big move and acted so sharply?"

"You still don't know something. When Jiang Baihu was still a general bannerman, he slapped Liang Youwei, who was a member of the trial department at that time, to cripple him. Anyone who offends Jiang Baihu is seeking death!"

"After all, the new official is the first thing to do when he takes office. Who knows which unlucky guy offended Jiang Baihu? He can only blame him for his lack of foresight!"

"Jiang Baihu is showing off the glory of my royal guards!"

The onlookers, the Imperial Guards in Imperial Guards, looked at each other with gusto.

They often do things like ransacking homes, but at their level, they have never seen anyone who can find so much money.

This kind of person is not a high-ranking official of the imperial court. Nowadays, the Jinyiwei has declined. The Jinyiwei who monitored hundreds of officials in the past did not dare to offend some important officials of the imperial court.

So they were very interested in whose family Jiang Lan copied.

As the motorcade moved forward, the sharp-eyed man screamed: "No... look at that head to see if it belongs to Hu Chong, Hu Baihu!"

It is unheard of for a house to be confiscated on the head of a wealthy family.

As soon as these words came out, all the eyes of the crowd were immediately attracted, and they all looked in the direction pointed by this person.

Hu Chong's head stands out in the queue, with unwillingness and resentment.

The onlookers Jin Yiwei looked at Hu Chong's unwilling head and fell into silence.

Immediately afterwards, another attentive person pointed out: "Look, isn't that Mr. Hu's family?"

"What?!!!"

"The Hu family's grandfather has been beheaded?!"

Hearing this, no one's face changed drastically.

There is also a difference between confiscating a house and exterminating a whole family. Now Jiang Lan is destroying the whole Hu family, which undoubtedly represents a blood feud. He and the Hu family will fight to the death.

Of course, the Hu family no longer has this opportunity, and there may still be members of the Hu family scattered across the country, but this will not make a difference.

With exclamations one after another, the Jin Yiwei who were watching all looked at Jiang Lan, who was riding on horseback with a sharp look in his eyes.

If this was done by a demon, they would still be able to accept it.

But it was the hundred households in Fusi, Beizhen, who did this!

It was almost noon, and the light shone brightly on Jiang Lan, giving her an extraordinary temperament. It was difficult for people to associate her with the people who rushed to the door to exterminate Hu.

When he arrived at Qianhusuo, Jiang Lan stepped forward, followed by four general banners from when Hu Chong was in power, and knelt down in front of Chen Ming. Then, followed by dozens of small banners from Baihusuo, they stepped in one after another.

Among thousands of households.

Among these thousands of households, in addition to Jiang Lan, the other nine hundred households have also arrived.

When the house was searched, Jiang Lan had already sent people back to Zhenfusi to notify Chen Ming of thousands of households that he had a big gift to offer.

The news of Jiang Lan's confiscation spread throughout Kyoto through Jianghu warriors, so in addition to Chen Ming in the lobby of the Thousand Households Office, the other nine hundred households also came here.

They are all members of Zhang Qianhai. Hu Chong has been their boss since Zhang Qianhai left. Now that the boss has been killed, there is no reason why they should not come.

Before arriving at the Qianhu Office, they had already held a small meeting in private, thinking about ways to punish Jiang Lan.

In their view, Jiang Lan's murder of a fellow member of the Jinyi Guards Examination Hundred Household without sufficient reasons would be a capital crime.

In the end, Jiang Lan was given the crime of coveting power, seeing all his subordinates obey Hu Chong, and thus becoming murderous.

After all, when Hu Chong was in power, most people paid a lot of bribes to Hu Chong.

Where does this bribe come from? It must come from the common people.

Therefore, Hu Chong used this method in disguise to tie everyone in the household to him.

Who dares to confess that he is plundering people's wealth and anointing from the people, let alone in Kyoto, it will undoubtedly bring disgrace to the emperor's face!

As the saying goes, everyone's mouth makes gold, and with seven hundred households like them taking the lead, and Hu Chong's old department accusing him, even if Chen Ming wanted to protect him, he couldn't!

At this time, several people were sitting under Chen Ming, looking at the people brought by Jiang Lan.

"Is Jiang Lan planning to rebel? Why are you bringing so many Jin Yiwei from the Hundred Households?" One of the Hundred Households already looked unhappy.

"He actually dared to raid Hu Chong's home. Hu Chong has made great contributions to our Qianhu Office. This Jiang Lan is so bold. Today I will see how he will defend himself!" Another Hundred Households added.

"Ahem!"

"Everyone, please be quiet and listen to what Jiang Baihu has to say."

Chen Ming cleared his throat and looked at Jiang Lan.

Chen Ming had already learned from spies that Jiang Lan had raided Hu Chong's home, but he still pretended to be ignorant and asked knowingly: "Jiang Baihu, please bring these general officers from Baihu Office with you."

What's the point of coming with Qi Xiaoqi?"

"Sir Chen Qianhu, I am here to receive a reward!"

Jiang Lan saluted Chen Minglue, with incomparable confidence in his words. With a wave of his hand, Zhu Ming and others took the heads of Hu Chong and others and threw them into the lobby.

"Receive the reward?"

Chen Ming and several hundred households said in unison.

All the hundreds of households looked shocked, thinking to themselves, you wiped out Hu Chong’s family in the 100th household, and now you dare to come to the 1,000th household to receive the reward instead of accepting the crime?

A mouse serves as a bridesmaid to a cat?

Immediately Kang Siqi of the Hundred Household stood up, pointed at Jiang Lan's nose and angrily shouted: "I think you are coveting Lord Hu's power. After being promoted to the Hundred Household, you saw that his old subordinates were loyal to Lord Hu, and you became interested in murdering him."

When Hu Chong was still alive, he had a good relationship with Hu Chong. Now that Hu Chong has fallen, he naturally has to take on the responsibility of being the pillar.

However, Jiang Lan ignored his accusation and raised her voice a bit louder. Mixed with a hint of inner strength, the voice swept through the lobby of Qianhusuo like rolling thunder.

"After I took office, I learned from the Baihu Office that during his tenure at the Baihu Office, Hu Chong instigated his subordinates, the General Banner and the Xiaoqi, to plunder the people's fat and anointing from the people and hand them over to Hu Chong, ruining the ethos of the Imperial Guard and tarnishing the name of the Emperor. This is a capital crime!



"In addition, his clan protected the Ma clan members who killed Jin Yiwei Jiang Xingzhou, but they still resisted stubbornly and colluded with the Ma clan people to take action against us and other imperial officers and soldiers. I had no choice but to suppress and kill them. I came here to report to Mr. Chen of Qianhu."

When Jiang Lan finished speaking, Kang Siqi angrily said:

"What a courage!"

"You tortured your fellow comrades and raped them for security reasons. What crime should you be guilty of?"

Immediately afterwards, the remaining hundreds of households, except Li Wende and Zhu Baihu, all stood up.

"If you want to impose a crime, why bother? Why don't you let the chief banner and Xiaoqi brothers in the institute tell me what crime I should be guilty of?"

The corner of Jiang Lan's mouth curled up, and her eyes glanced at the four general flags kneeling behind him, as well as dozens of small flags.

The four kneeling general flags hesitated for a moment, then dozens of small flags behind them shouted the same sentence in unison.
Chapter completed!
