The identity of the person who spoke was naturally unusual. The Zhao family was actually not much different from the Chen family and the Xu family. There was even one member of the Zhao family who had achieved the position of a minister.
Even if that minister is only the Ministry of Rites, which does not have much authority among the six ministries, it is still a minister-level department.
If there is an opportunity in the future, he may not be able to become a central minister of the DPRK.
When Zhao Anmin opened his mouth, many people's eyes lit up.
When everyone learned that Chen Wenliang, the court official who represented their salt merchant group, had been captured by Li Huan, their first reaction was how to deal with the blow from Li Huan.
After all, in their subconscious minds, Chen Wenliang and their salt merchant group were one, and Li Huan was dealing with them in dealing with Chen Wenliang.
But now Zhao Anmin's words suddenly brought everyone back to their senses. It seemed that things were not as complicated as they imagined.
If we put aside the relationship between Chen Wenliang and the Salt Merchant Group, the reason why Li Huan attacked Chen Wenliang at the Great Court Meeting was ultimately because Chen Wenliang took the initiative to impeach Li Huan.
In other words, Li Huan did not take the initiative to deal with Chen Wenliang. Does that mean that Li Huan had no intention of taking action against their interest group?
Although Chen Wenliang is very important, it depends on the situation. If the entire salt merchant group has to pay a heavy price because of Chen Wenliang, then their custody will not hesitate to give Chen Wenliang to him as soon as possible.
Abandon it.
While everyone seemed to have discovered another world, Chen Wenbang's expression changed slightly.
Chen Wenbang, who saw the reaction of everyone in his eyes, couldn't help but sigh inwardly. He had been worried that this would happen before, so he would exaggerate the tense atmosphere when gathering everyone.
I just didn't expect that someone would finally come to their senses and realize that Chen Wenliang's imprisonment had nothing to do with the Salt Merchant Group being targeted by Li Huan.
Just because Chen Wenliang was targeted by Li Huan does not mean that the Salt Merchant Group was targeted by Li Huan.
If it is true that Li Huan is eyeing the Salt Merchant Group, then Chen Wenbang can guarantee that everyone present will definitely work together with the Chen family to find a way to deal with Li Huan.
But now Chen Wenbang did not repay this extravagant hope.
Just as Chen Wenbang expected, when Zhao Anmin finished speaking, Xu Wenchang couldn't help but his eyes lit up and he laughed loudly: "Yes, are we thinking too much? Li Huan didn't say that he would deal with us.
People..."
Before Xu Wenchang finished speaking, Chen Wenbang snorted coldly and said to Xu Wenchang: "Xu Wenchang, what do you mean by this? Do you mean that we have to give up Mr. Chen? Don't forget, if there is no Mr. Chen, the two of us will
It is absolutely impossible for the Huai salt merchants to be as prosperous as they are today."
Chen Wenliang was naturally very helpful to the Lianghuai salt merchants. Otherwise, the Chen family would not have become one of the top families among the Lianghuai salt merchants in a short period of time.
At this time, Chen Wenbang told Chen Wenliang's contribution to the Lianghuai Salt Merchants Group, and Xu Wenchang, Zhao Anmin and others were silent for a while.
Even though they were profit-oriented merchants, they still had to show some dignity in front of so many people. They couldn't deny Chen Wenliang's help to Lianghuai salt merchants over the years.
Xu Wenchang glanced at him and winked at the person beside him.
Without dealing with the Xu and Chen families, various hilltop forces, large and small, naturally formed within the Lianghuai salt merchants.
There were also many large and small salt merchants surrounding the Xu family and the Chen family.
At this moment, a salt merchant coughed slightly and said, "There is something you, Lu, I don't know whether to say or not!"
Zhao Anmin looked at Xu Wenchang, then at Chen Wenbang, and nodded with a slight curl of the corners of his mouth: "Mr. Lu, you might as well just say it."
Lu Qingsheng looked serious and said: "Everyone, if Lu admits that without Mr. Chen, we may not have the opportunity to sit here and speak freely. Mr. Chen's contribution to our Lianghuai salt merchants is so great that no one will forget it.
.”
Everyone present nodded their heads after hearing this, obviously recognizing Chen Wenliang's contribution. (This chapter is not finished yet!)
Chapter 325: Fighting against Jin Yiwei
However, Lu Qingsheng changed his words and looked at Chen Wenbang and said: "But now Mr. Chen has offended Li Huan, the emperor's favorite minister. If the interests of so many of us are endangered because of Mr. Chen, I will
I think even Mr. Chen would not be willing to do it.
Chen Wenbang stood up suddenly, stared at Lu Qingsheng with a cold face and said: "Fuck you, Lu Qingsheng, what do you mean by this?"
Although Chen Wenbang pointed at him and yelled at him, Lu Qingsheng looked very calm. Even when he was pointed at and yelled at, he showed no sign of anger. Instead, he calmly said to Chen Wenbang: "Brother Chen, even if you are scolding me for being ruthless,
No matter what, Lu said the same thing, we must not offend Li Huan, the emperor's favorite minister, because of Mr. Chen. Mr. Chen is Mr. Chen, and we Lianghuai Salt Merchants are Lianghuai Salt
Business cannot be confused with each other."
Xu Wenchang chuckled lightly, clapped his hands and praised: "Well said, that's the truth. Mr. Chen has made great contributions to us, but now that he has provoked Li Huan, he can't implicate us."
Even though Chen Wenbang had been mentally prepared for a long time, he was still gritting his teeth in anger at the reactions of Xu Wenchang, Lu Qingsheng and others.
However, no matter how annoyed Chen Wenbang was in his heart, looking at the facial reactions of everyone, Chen Wenbang also knew that the matter had come to this. He wanted to encourage more people and hoped to find a way to rescue Chen Wenliang with the help of their strength, but it was impossible.
Seeing Chen Wenbang walk away, Xu Wenchang stroked his beard and chuckled: "You might as well talk about how we can make friends with this emperor's favorite minister. If we can get his protection, I believe that the two of us will be able to make friends."
The power of the Huai salt merchants will expand dramatically, and then a lot of money will come like mountains and rivers."
Lu Qingsheng said without hesitation: "Do you still need to think of a way? If you want me to say it, just use the most direct and effective way."
"As a gift, I don't believe that Li Huan can't be moved by throwing millions of taels of silver at him."
Lu Qingsheng's words echoed throughout the living room.
Millions of taels of silver were given away at will, which meant that all the people present were from the most wealthy families in the Ming Dynasty. If other people heard this, they would not believe what they heard with their own ears.
But everyone present looked extremely calm, as if giving away millions of taels of silver was a normal and ordinary thing for them.
Xu Wenchang nodded slightly and said: "Then give money. Lu Qingsheng is right. The method of giving money can be said to be the simplest, most effective and direct."
Xu Wenchang hesitated a little while saying that and said: "As the saying goes, Li Huanian was favored by the emperor when he was less than twenty years old. Once he became powerful, people like this could be deceived not only by money, but also by beauty.
mind."
Hearing what Xu Wenchang said, Zhao Anmin, who was sitting next to him, immediately said with a bit of excitement: "In this case, then we will carefully select a few peerless beauties. There may not be any others, but in the land of Jiangnan, just a few
Is it possible that we can’t choose among these beautiful beauties?”
Xu Wenchang said with a smile on his face: "I don't believe Li Huan can handle money and beauty!"
Everyone had relaxed looks on their faces when they heard this.
They rely on money and beauty to win over officials in the court, which can be said to be unfavorable. Almost no official can remain indifferent when faced with the money and beauties they send.
On the second day after Chen Wenliang, the imperial censor of Zuodu, and others were sent to prison, a group of royal guards and cavalry appeared in the Chen Mansion like menacing gods.
As a minister of the court, Chen Wenliang's mansion is located in a place where dignitaries gather in the capital. It covers a considerable area, but there are not many that can compare with it.
After all, the Chen family is a leader among the Lianghuai salt merchants. With the huge profits from the Lianghuai salt industry, the most important thing is money.
In addition, Chen Wenliang's status can be described as noble. He wants money and power, which is naturally reflected in the mansion he lives in.
However, these became a thing of the past the moment Chen Wenliang was sent to prison.
Because Chen Wenliang's case was personally supervised by Jin Yiwei, when Chen Wenliang was sent to prison, Jin Yiwei's people immediately sent people to surround Chen's mansion.
This (this chapter is not finished yet!)
Chapter 325: Fighting against Jin Yiwei
The person who appeared in front of the Chen Mansion surrounded by a group of royal guards was none other than Li Huan, who had just returned to Beijing.
Ordinarily, with Li Huan's current status, even if he wanted to investigate Chen Wenliang, a minister in the court, Li Huan would not need to personally take action.
However, Li Huan got rid of Wenrou Township early, personally led the troops of Jin Yiwei to Chen Mansion, and personally presided over a large-scale search of Chen Mansion.
Lin Pingyi, who was dressed in the official uniform of a thousand households, said to Li Huan with excitement and anticipation: "Sir, everyone in the Chen family is here, and no one is missing!"
Li Huan nodded slightly and said calmly: "Go and search for me. Be sure to find evidence of Chen Wenliang's corruption and bribery."
Following Li Huan's order, a group of Jinyi guards rushed into the huge Chen Mansion like wolves and tigers.
Many members of the Chen family, who had been blocked by the Jin Yiwei and completely sealed in the mansion, didn't even know what was going on.
Chen Wenliang's eldest son, Chen Zhe, had the identity of a juren. Although he couldn't tell what happened, he was just a little uneasy in his heart.
In Chen Zhe's view, with the influence of the Chen family, as long as he did not commit a serious crime of rebellion, even the emperor would have to give his father a little favor.
After all, Chen Wenliang is a noble person in the court, so there is no need to mention his personal connections.
Because of this confidence, even when faced with the Jinyi Guards blocking the door, Chen Zhe was stunned and summoned the young and strong servants in the mansion to block the door, pretending not to allow anyone to break into the Chen Mansion.
When Li Huan ordered the royal guards to search Chen's house, Chen Zhe, surrounded by his servants, loudly shouted to Li Huan from a distance: "I don't know what to call this gentleman. My Chen family has been loyal for generations, and my father has been a veteran of several dynasties. You
Do you have His Majesty's will to break into my Chen family without permission?"
Li Huan glanced at Chen Zhe in surprise, obviously not expecting anyone in the Chen family to dare to stop the Jin Yiwei from handling the case.
It can only be said that the Chen family was born as a salt merchant. As a salt merchant family that rose from the bottom, bloody fights are inevitable. As direct descendants of the Chen family, at least in Chen Zhe's generation, most of them are not playboys. On the contrary,
Everyone's ability and courage are quite good.
Just like Chen Zhe, although he only has the status of being an official, he is in charge of all the affairs of Chen Wenliang's branch. He dare not say that his hands are stained with blood, but it is not surprising that he has several lives under his command.
If Chen Zhe had not had such an experience, Chen Zheruo would have been frightened when he was just introducing a scholar, let alone arguing with the Jin Yiwei who blocked the door.
While Chen Zhe stopped Li Huan, he also looked at Li Huan and secretly guessed Li Huan's identity.
Looking at Li Huan, Chen Zhe suddenly felt that Li Huan seemed so familiar. He was excited, and then a name appeared in Chen Zhe's mind.
"Li...Li Huan...why is it you!"
Chen Zhe's face was full of shock and disbelief.
As the eldest son of Chen Wenliang, Chen Zhe knew almost everything about the Chen family. Naturally, Chen Zhe knew very well about his father's cooperation with others to impeach Li Huan.
But in Chen Zhe's impression, Li Huan should be far away in Yan'an Mansion at the moment. Why did he suddenly appear in the capital, and even blocked the door of their home with his royal guards.
An inexplicable feeling arose in Chen Zhe's heart, and Chen Zhe couldn't help but think of the fact that his father had gone to attend a court meeting yesterday and didn't come back all night.
Now Li Huan suddenly appeared in the capital again, and Chen Zhe was not stupid. All these things were connected together, and Chen Zhe immediately realized something.
Seeing Chen Zhe's expression changing, Li Huan could more or less guess what Chen Zhe was thinking even if he didn't guess.
He glanced at Chen Zhe indifferently and ignored what the other party meant. At the same time, Lin Pingzhi looked at Chen Zhe and others blocking the front, frowned and shouted coldly: "Jin Yiwei is investigating the case, you guys are still waiting."
If you don't get out of the way quickly, are you going to die?"
While he was talking, Lin Pingzhi took out the embroidered spring sword in his hand, and all the Jinyi guards also took out their swords and looked at Chen Zhe and others who were blocking the doorway with evil looks on their faces.
At the same time, although the Chen family's servants surrounding Chen Zhe looked a bit panicked, none of them backed away. Instead, they turned their attention to Chen Zhe, obviously (this chapter is not over yet!)
Chapter 325: Fighting against Jin Yiwei
Wait for Chen Zhe's order.
Chen Zhe was a little distracted at this time. A strong man whispered to Chen Zhe: "Eldest Young Master, what should I do?"
At this time, Chen Zhe had already had a bad feeling. Reason told him that he must not let Jin Yiwei's people break into the mansion. If Jin Yiwei's people were allowed to search the mansion, Chen Zhe couldn't help but fight when he thought of some of the things they kept in the mansion.
It's so exciting that once those things are exposed, the Chen family will really be doomed.
