Chen Weiwei lives in the Royal Garden, which is very big. Mr. Xin lives in Sihaitang. He lives in a single courtyard about four miles away from Sihaitang.
He doesn't have any clear official position yet, but few people dare to disrespect him now.
Mr. Xin's favor and trust in him was obvious to all, which reminded people of how the emperor treated Lin Ye in the past.
From the current point of view, Mr. Xin's favor for Chen Weiwei even exceeds the emperor's favor for Lin Ye.
This independent courtyard has no name, but it is very important now, just like Chen Weiwei does not have any substantial official position yet.
Several felons from the official department were imprisoned in this private courtyard. This small courtyard is now heavily guarded, and the people employed are all recruited by Chen Weiwei. In fact, some of them are Wang Luoshen's people.
But when things have reached this point, even if there are people like Wang Luoshen, it doesn't make sense anymore.
Because Chen Weiwei knows very well that if he wants to gain Mr. Xin's absolute trust as soon as possible, he must first put Wang Luoshen aside. Everyone here is nice and has to shut up.
[A novel app that has been running stably for many years, comparable to the old version of a book-chasing tool, and a source-changing app used by old bookworms.]
Therefore, from the very beginning of arresting people, Chen Weiwei established a rule. After all the criminals were arrested and brought into the imperial garden, none of his men were allowed to leave the imperial garden. If they left the imperial garden, they would be killed without mercy.
For this reason, he specifically spoke to Mr. Xin and mobilized a thousand Forbidden Army soldiers to block the surrounding area.
The people Wang Luoshen arranged to be around Chen Weiwei were all controlled by him. They could not go out and report the news. If they could not see Wang Luoshen, they would not interfere with Chen Weiwei's handling of the case.
Chen Weiwei has always had a clear understanding of himself, and he knows how he can be exploited by others.
As long as you understand this, then use it well.
How could he not know the reason why he was reused?
One is because Mr. Xin really has no one available, and the other is because Chen Weiwei is an outsider to Geling City.
He is not afraid of Wang Luoshen, even if there are people of Wang Luoshen around him.
Because he knows very well that if he helps Mr. Xin handle this matter, his value will naturally rise.
Wang Luoshen still wants to give him some orders now. After the case is solved, it will be even more difficult for Wang Luoshen to give him orders again.
At that time, whatever Wang Luoshen wanted him to do, he had to discuss it with him in a low voice.
The story of the fox pretending to be the tiger's power told Chen Weiwei that what the tiger got was the fear that those animals had, but what the fox got was the fear that other animals didn't have for him.
Mr. Xin is not a dragon yet, and he is still one step away from becoming that dragon. But even if no one is available to Mr. Xin anymore, given his status, he is a tiger.
Wang Luoshen is a wolf. Normally, he would not take a little fox like Chen Weiwei seriously, because he is not only a wolf, but also the wolf king.
Now because of the tiger, Wang Luoshen, the wolf king, does not dare to offend the little fox easily.
In the yard, Chen stretched his arms slightly and looked at the people tied to the pillars. He couldn't help but smile. He didn't know why, but he was so happy to see these big shots become prisoners.
The one on the pillar on the left is a second-rank official, a real minister, a real big shot who must be respected wherever he goes.
Now, he was tied to a pillar in ragged clothes and beaten so hard that he couldn't even lift his head.
Chen Weiwei strolled over, bent down and looked at the big man carefully, and found that he was asleep.
"It's such a cold day and the clothes are so thin. It's really not good for Mr. Huo to fall asleep in the yard. What if he catches a cold?"
Chen Weiwei looked back: "Qiu Yuanqu, why are you on duty?"
His subordinate Qiu Yuanqu hurriedly stepped forward, leaned over and said: "My lord is teaching me that my subordinates are incompetent and don't know how to warm Lord Huo. Please tell me clearly."
Chen Weiwei said: "What will you do if you get cold outside?"
Qiu Yuanqu asked tentatively: "If my subordinates are cold, will they make a fire to keep warm?"
Chen Weiwei said: "Isn't this stupid? If Mr. Huo gets frozen, I will only ask you."
"Yes, yes, my subordinate will do it right away."
Qiu Yuanqu turned around and waved: "Why don't you warm yourself up by the fire quickly, Mr. Huo?"
A group of people started moving. They couldn't find firewood for the time being, so they actually tore down the tables, chairs and benches next to them.
Then they piled up the firewood in front of and behind Huo Mouyuan, the Minister of Civil Service, and lit a fire.
Huo Mouyuan, who had been tortured all night, opened his eyes soon after. He had fallen asleep somewhere. He was obviously tortured and passed out. At this time, he was suddenly awakened by the fire.
"ah!"
Feeling that the front and back of his body were very hot, Huo Mouyuan's pampered body couldn't bear it, and he immediately wailed.
Chen smiled slightly: "Look, Master Huo is happy, and so are you. Since Master Huo is happy, it means he is very satisfied. Why don't you push the fire forward?"
Qiu Yuanqu walked over with a grin and kicked some burning wood at Huo Mouyuan's feet.????????????p
"Chen Weiwei!"
Huo Mouyuan shouted hoarsely while trembling: "I am the Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs and a second-rank official in the imperial court. How dare you treat me like this before you are convicted! Even if His Majesty is here, you will not treat me like this!"
Chen Weiwei said: "What Mr. Huo said makes no sense. I'm afraid you'll have someone light a fire to warm you up when you're freezing. Why are you still scolding me?"
When his subordinate Qiu Yuanqu heard this, he kicked several burning logs over and one of them fell on Huo Mouyuan's feet.
Huo Mouyuan was tied tightly to the pillar, his ankles were tied, and his feet were strangled so tightly that he couldn't move at all. There were no boots on his feet at this time, and the pain suddenly made him wail.
In just a moment, his feet were burned with a scalp-numbing sound.
"It's getting warmer. It's really getting warmer. Even my shouting voice is much louder than before."
Chen Wei slightly raised his fingers, and his men immediately brought over a chair.
After Chen Weiwei sat down, he ordered: "You really have no eyesight. Master Huo is warm in front, but it's still cold in the back."
Qiu Yuanqu immediately went over and pushed the fire forward, and the fire directly burned Huo Mouyuan's pants.
That kind of pain, not to mention the person who endured it, even the corners of the mouth of those who looked at it twitched.
It took only a moment for a burning smell to appear, and it soon spread to the surrounding area.
The fire on his trousers caught his shirt again, and the clothes became more and more attached to his body. Huo Mouyuan's body couldn't help but twist, but how could he break free.
"Chen Weiwei, you are Xin Yanque's dog, you are a mad dog!"
The roar penetrated through the burning smell that filled the yard, and those who heard it shuddered.
Chen Weiwei didn't care, and even nodded: "I know, I am."
After the fire burned for half a moment, Chen Weiwei waved his hand and motioned for his men to move the fire away.
But at this time, Huo Mouyuan had been burned to a disgraceful state.
"I've always heard that before."
Chen stood up slightly, walked slowly to Huo Mouyuan, looked at the dying big man and asked: "You people are vicious yourself, but you hate and are afraid of people who are more cruel than you, such as Lin Ye, he is cruel, so you are afraid of him.
"
He bent forward completely, stared into Huo Mouyuan's eyes and asked, "How am I compared to Lin Ye?"
Huo Mouyuan forced himself to raise his head, and then spat at Chen Weiwei with blood. How could Chen Weiwei not be able to avoid it despite his strength.
But it doesn't matter if he avoids it or if he can't avoid it, he will be angry.
"Very tough."
Chen Weiwei returned to the chair and sat down, picked up the teacup and took a sip.
He said in a very calm tone: "I heard that Mr. Huo has two young masters. The eldest son is called Huo Zhi. Now he is an official in Qingzhou. He is an inspector and inspects the place for the emperor. The second young master is called Huo Xing. He is still in the military.
Studying in the courtyard, that’s right.”
Huo Mouyuan's eyes widened and were filled with bloodshot eyes.
"Chen Weiwei! What do you want to do, you crazy dog! You have no evidence to convict me, so why should you implicate my family!"
Chen Weiwei said: "Why are you anxious? We have no evidence to convict you. Isn't this what we are looking for?"
He said: "I have sent people to Qingzhou. Huo Zhi has always been the one to investigate others. This time it is my turn to investigate him. I estimate that there will be many people applauding in Qingzhou, and there must be many.
Few people are willing to provide evidence of Huo Zhi’s crime.”
He paused for a moment and took another sip of tea.
Then he continued: "Your second son Huo Xing is still in the martial arts academy. My people are closely monitoring him, but so far we haven't found any illegal behavior on his part. What if Mr. Huo really doesn't want to say anything???
????????????, then I have no choice but to talk to the second young master."
Huo Mouyuan roared: "What on earth do you want to know? What on earth do you want to know!"
Chen Weiwei said: "I want to know how many benefits the Ministry of Personnel has received from officials over the years, and how many officials have been appointed because of the benefits they gave you."
Huo Mouyuan said angrily: "Chen Weiwei, do you really think you can withstand this situation? Do you think you are ruthless enough? Your ruthlessness is just the result of the villain's ambition in your heart."
"Don't you want me to say something? I'm telling you now. I want to say it in front of His Highness. I want to tell His Highness. Once you let me say these words, I'll see how long you can live.
.”
He scanned the audience: "In here, there are people from the Wang family, there are people from the Zhao family, and there are people from the Sun family. You all can see clearly that it is not me, Huo Mouyuan, who has caused your families to suffer disaster.
, it’s Chen Weiwei.”
This sentence already shows that Huo Mouyuan's state of mind has reached a point where everything is over.
It was also because of these words that many people in the private courtyard looked at Chen Weiwei, and their expressions and eyes became complicated.
Chen Weiwei smiled and said, "Master Huo, what are you talking about?"
He stood up, walked to Huo Mouyuan again, and said with a serious face: "You are a person who knows that your sin is unforgivable and then you start biting and biting. Do you think I will believe your nonsense? Or will His Highness believe it?"
He smiled and moved forward, and said in Huo Mouyuan's ear: "And Mr. Huo should firmly believe that if I don't let you see His Highness, then you will not be able to see His Highness. When your words come to me, I will say no more
If it can’t reach other people’s ears, then it won’t reach.”
After he finished speaking, he took two steps back and said with a righteous face: "My people don't belong to the families you mentioned. My people are all loyal people of Dayu. What they want to do now is to
Eliminate traitors from the country."
With a "wow" sound, Huo Mouyuan spurted out a mouthful of blood, which spread far away.
Chen waved his hand slightly: "Why don't you grab some gravel and rub it with Mr. Huo?"
He returned to his seat, took another sip of tea and said: "What your Highness wants to investigate is the Ministry of Personnel. Just tell the affairs of the Ministry of Personnel honestly. Why do you involve other people? You are responsible for what you have done yourself, and you will pay it back to others."
If others find out about your innocence, they will also thank you."
He glanced around: "What your Highness wants to investigate is the case of the Ministry of Personnel, and what you want to deal with is an official of the Ministry of Personnel. You haven't forgotten it, right?"
Those people leaned over and said, "Sir, I have not forgotten."
Chen slightly hummed: "Since it is a matter involving the Ministry of Personnel, and the Minister of Rites is not the main culprit, then who else can be the main culprit?"
