Chongzhen and I became partners

Chapter 788 Prestige
There are quite a few people with good deeds, with their hearts burning with gossip, and they follow Fanzi from a distance, wanting to see what happened.

"It's been a long time since I saw Fanzi make a big move. It seems that even the owner of the factory is here. This time it must be a big deal!"

"Ah, I don't know who is going to be unlucky. This battle should be serious, right?"

"Treason? It shouldn't be! The world is peaceful recently, so it's impossible for someone to rebel, right?"

"Hey, this is going to the rich area, right? Look at this direction, that's the neighborhood where the most powerful people in Nanjing live!"

"Haha, here's a good show to watch!"

"..."

Obviously, the common people at this time did not have much ill feeling towards the factory guards.Because the targets of general factory guards are basically those who are high and high, and have nothing to do with ordinary people.

Generally, those who bully ordinary people are actually a combination of local government and local evil forces.

At this time, I saw a large group of people from the East Factory and the West Factory, arriving in front of a very imposing mansion.

There are two huge stone lion town gates at the gate of this mansion. There are also two big red lanterns hanging on the gate for night lighting, with the word "Li" written on it.

The melon-eating crowd, even in the distance, immediately recognized whose mansion it was.

"Hey, isn't this the residence of the Marquis of Linhuai? Fanzi is here to rush to the Marquis of Linhuai?"

"This is a serious matter. The ancestor of the Marquis of Linhuai was Cao Guogong, who founded the country, and he also committed a crime?"

"Tsk tsk, this is definitely huge, otherwise it would be impossible for the East Factory and the West Factory to come here together!"

"Look, those fans didn't even wait, they just kicked open the gate and rushed in! Wow, it must be a good show!"

"Yeah, it's a pity, I don't know what happened inside?"

"..."

At this time, Linhuaihou was the seventh generation, named Li Zushu, and his ancestor was Li Wenzhong, the founding father of Cao Guo.After Li Wenzhong's duke title was passed on to his son Li Jinglong's generation, he was abolished by Zhu Di.

Later, in the Jiajing Dynasty, the civil servants united against the Emperor Jiajing and engaged in a dispute over etiquette, which caused the Emperor Jiajing a headache, so he found out those noble descendants whose titles were abolished when the country was founded, and ennobled them Waiting, probably expecting the descendants of these founding heroes to help the royal family.

It's just a pity that the descendants of these founding heroes basically don't have the demeanor of their ancestors, they are all greedy for life and afraid of death, the kind who only know how to enjoy themselves.Marquis of Linhuai, Emperor Jiajing found out the descendants of Li Wenzhong and gave him the title of Marquis of Linhuai.

In the original history, when it was passed down to the end of the Ming Dynasty, the Marquis of Linhuai, he was called Li Zushu. Along with other nobles from Nanjing, he opened the door and surrendered to the Manchus.

At this time, Li Zushu was in his mansion and was not going out. He was surprised to hear the noise coming from outside the door, and some family members ran to report that the factory guard had broken in.

Hearing this, Li Zushu's expression changed immediately, and his legs began to tremble.

The reputation of the factory guards reached its peak during the Tianqi Dynasty, but at that time, the factory guards mainly dealt with civil servants, and there was not much conflict with Xungui.

But in recent years, the reactivated factory guards have a trend of surpassing that of Tianqi years. The current emperor even established a new West Factory, not only to deal with civil servants, but also to deal with famous salt merchants, Shanxi merchants, etc., and even those from the capital. Cheng Guogong copied them all.

In the past few years, and in Nanjing, which is far away from the capital, I thought that Jin Yiwei's focus had shifted to the army. In the past few years, I haven't heard of anyone being raided by Fan Zi, and I thought it was quiet.

The result was unexpected...

I'm afraid it won't solve the problem!Li Zushu knew this very well.He forced himself to remain calm, and as soon as he left the room, before he had time to go to the front yard, he saw a large number of factory guards flocking to the back yard. When he saw someone, he ordered him to kneel without saying a word.

"I am the Marquis of Linhuai..."

Li Zushu hadn't finished speaking when he saw a Xichang fan in front of him draw a knife, as if seeing that he didn't follow orders and was about to cut him down, he was so frightened that his legs twitched and he knelt down go down.

Other servants and maids, in front of the wolf-like Fanzi's gate, no one dared to be tough, and they all knelt on the ground.

Fanzi continued to break into all the rooms, and drove all the people inside, regardless of men, women, old or young, into the courtyard. Afterwards, they seized the corridors, courtyard doors, etc., silently, but with evil spirits, as if they were fierce , Let everyone tremble there in fright, many people want to cry, but dare not cry.

After a while, another group of people came in, surrounded by two eunuchs in scarlet robes.Li Zushu looked up, although he didn't know him, but he could guess by looking at the servant, that he might be the owner of Dongxi Factory.

In fact, one of them, he knew, was Wang Dehua, the admiral of the East Factory who had been stationed in Nanjing for several years.But at this time, Wang Dehua, although he was the admiral of the East Factory, was a body behind the other eunuch, and he seemed to be serving him cautiously.

Looking at this scene, Li Zushu also guessed that the person in charge is probably the emperor's most trusted minister, the eunuch in charge of ceremonies and the admiral of Xichang, Wang Cheng'en!

When did you arrive in Nanjing?
Seeing that Wang Chengen appeared in front of him, Li Zushu became even more uneasy, but he also understood in his heart that the situation before him could not be overcome by panic.

When he was thinking about how to deal with it, he saw that Wang Chengen had already arrived in front of him, and he was sitting in the grand teacher's chair that Dongchang Fanzi brought in time under the eaves in front of the hall. Of course, Wang Dehua also had it, but when Wang Dehua was sitting, he took the chair He leaned back a little, and did not dare to sit side by side with Wang Chengen.

I saw Wang Chengen staring at Li Zushu in front of him, and said in a cold voice: "You are so brave! You dared to sell the court's steam engine blueprint to Xiyi. Long Live Lord is very angry, and the consequences will be serious, you know?"

"No, I don't!" Li Zushu immediately denied when he heard it, "I don't even know what a steam engine blueprint is, so please check it out!"

For his reaction, Wang Chengen had already expected it, and he waved his hand without any fuss, and then saw two Xichang fans escorting a person in.

As soon as Li Zushu saw this man, he immediately said emotionally: "The factory is very careful, what this man does has nothing to do with me. Although he is the son of my family, he made mistakes before and was expelled from the mansion long ago." Ah! I never saw him again after that, and never contacted him."

Wang Chengen listened, but the corners of his mouth curled slightly, showing a sneer, and then ordered: "Search for our house, and in addition, separate these people in this mansion, and take good care of them. The first one to confess will be regarded as a crime and a meritorious service. You can avoid the death penalty!"

"Obey!" Upon hearing this, Xichang fanzi swarmed up, and two people grabbed one, including Li Zushu, Marquis of Linhuai, and his sons, daughters, wives and concubines, etc., and dragged them to various rooms. To be punished separately.

Seeing this scene, Wang Dehua on the side looked sideways, and glanced at Wang Chengen's profile, his eyelids couldn't help but twitch.

It was Wang Chengen's request to come to Huaihou's mansion. He also knew the reason, that is, based on the clues he had reported before and the information provided by the Portuguese, the West Factory had already caught the person who sold the blueprints, and they had been arrested layer by layer. Dig up, and finally caught the son of Linhuai Hou.

However, Wang Dehua confirmed that the son of the family had made a mistake and was expelled by Marquis Linhuai. Therefore, even though he had doubts about Marquis Linhuai, he did not dare to directly attack Marquis Linhuai.

Back then, he had seen the unity of these nobles in Nanjing.Once Marquis Linhuai is moved, but there is no evidence, it is estimated that all the nobles in Nanjing will make a fuss.

Regarding this, to be honest, Wang Dehua is still a little scared, because he knows that he has made mistakes in the eyes of the current emperor. Maybe the emperor still has not forgotten what happened back then. It is likely to be unlucky.

However, Wang Chengen did not have his scruples, and directly led the brigade, put on a big formation, and ran to Linhuaihou's mansion.Now he doesn't listen to Marquis Linhuai's explanation, and immediately punishes the whole house.This shows an attitude, this Marquis of Linhuai is definitely going to end, it is impossible to end without anything in the end.Otherwise, even Wang Chengen couldn't avoid the consequences.

In other words, when Wang Chengen is determined to do this, Linhuai Hou is guilty no matter whether he is guilty or not!

Wang Dehua is very envious of this power!

Look, this is the one who has received divine grace, and can do things unscrupulously!
Thinking of this, he suddenly remembered the rumors he heard before, what the emperor told Wang Cheng'en when he established the West Factory: the case that the Jinyiwei could not solve in the East Factory should be solved by the West Factory. The factory kills, the East Factory, the things that Jinyiwei dare not manage, the West Factory manages, in a word, the East Factory, the West Factory that the Jinyiwei can manage, the West Factory, the East Factory, the West Factory that the Jinyiwei can’t control, and the West Factory. Chartered, this is West Factory.

At this moment, Wang Dehua really envied him infinitely.When I looked at Wang Chengen again, I saw that he was drinking the tea served by Fanzi leisurely, as if he came to Linhuaihou's mansion to drink tea and listen to an opera.It's just that this scene is not an ordinary scene, but the screams from each room.

While Wang Dehua was thinking about this, he suddenly saw Wancheng Chengen turn his head to look at him, and said indifferently: "This tea is still good, and it is worthy of the name of West Lake Longjing."

Upon hearing this, Wang Dehua quickly came to his senses, and began to flatter the celebrity in a low profile.

Wang Chengen probably felt more comfortable being flattered by him. After all, back then, he was just a little eunuch under Wang Dehua, so he was in a better mood when he was flattered by his elder brother back then, and asked Wang Dehua, "Do you think Our family is a little reckless?"
