Chongzhen chat group

Chapter 977 The First Shot in a Fair Way (Fourth)
There is nothing wrong with the saying that Buddha needs gold clothes and people need clothes.The reason why the group of people who came in was majestic was because they all wore pointed hats, white leather boots, brown clothes with small sash, and they wore the clothes of the legendary Dongchang soldiers.Moreover, among this group of people, there are two people who are not wearing pointed hats, but round hats, which are the costumes of the twelve stewards of Chou Yinmao, the legendary Middle Eastern factory.

And the two stewards centered on the young man, surrounded him and walked over, obviously having a higher status.At this time, although he was wearing ordinary clothes, he was the most majestic person.

Seeing so many people coming outside the study, the servants inside were paralyzed with fright, and the sticks in their hands could no longer be held, and fell to the ground with a "clank and clang".

A group of servants rushed into the study room and arrested all the servants. One of the servants quickly moved out the chair behind the desk and waited for the young man to sit under the eaves in a cool place. It happened to be a ventilated place, but it was also cool.

Seeing this, He Ting was also paralyzed with fright. Although he had also seen strong winds and waves, there were actually people in every yamen, and they were all in charge, but this was the legendary Dongchang handling the case. Judging by the identity of the young man in charge, he would definitely not Low.In fact, let’s not talk about this, even if it’s ordinary guards who arrest prisoners, no yamen dares to take care of them.

In other words, don't say that you are just Governor He's distant nephew, even if your own nephew or son falls into the hands of Dongchang, Governor He will have nothing to do.

The prestige of the factory guards during the Tianqi period was deeply rooted in the hearts of officials and gentry of the Ming Dynasty.Although today's emperor came to the throne and stopped for two years, he was still very powerful afterwards.Not to mention anything else, just the family of the Commander of Jinyiwei, even the puppet who lived far away in Liaodong Jianlu suffered, and the emperor asked Governor Denglai to personally lead the army to rescue them.Since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, who could have received this kind of grace?

Of course, other things announced by the official, such as Liu's mother's high moral integrity, deep understanding of righteousness, etc., are ignored by those who are interested.

No matter how frightened He Ting was, it was useless. The Dongchang guards brought him in front of the young man, no matter how slowly the dagger on his calf was bleeding, making him kneel down, and then the man who entered the mansion alone complained: " Mr. Chang, this person is an important criminal wanted by the court for colluding with pirates and alienating Hongyi!"

When he finished speaking, someone beside him took out the wanted portrait he had drawn before.I have to say that the portraits at this time are a bit unreliable. If it weren't for such a face-to-face comparison, it would be really difficult to connect them at once, unless there are very obvious characteristics.

At this time, He Ting didn't care about this anymore, he opened his eyes wide in surprise, and stared at the young man sitting on the chair in disbelief. "Master?" This person is actually the admiral of the East Factory?I actually alarmed the admiral of the East Factory, traveling thousands of miles, no, did I come all the way to Fuzhou to arrest me?

This person is Wang Chengen. At this time, he is in a good mood, with a smile on his face. He compares the portraits and nods. Just as he is about to speak, he sees another person marching in from the yard, kneels in front of him, and A fan servant took out the portraits for comparison, showed them to Wang Chengen, and said at the same time: "Mr. Factory, this person is the contact person who came back from the pirates this time!"

This portrait was left by someone sent by Liang Xiaozhen.Wang Chengen also knew that it was related to He Qiaoyuan because of the evidence of the surname "He".It was just that the investigation by Fanyi found that the owner of the He Mansion had distant relatives with He Qiaoyuan, lived a low-key and luxurious life, and usually lived reclusively, not showing up easily.

In the past, it was known from the feedback information from Zhejiang and Guangdong that this He Ting has many shops and farmlands in various places, including many large-scale seafood transactions.After further investigation, it was found that this person had a wide range of connections, not only in the local government, but also in the Jianghu.

Therefore, He Ting was soon under Dongchang's surveillance.It's just that today's Dongchang is not as unscrupulous as it was during the days of Tianqi.In any case, we must pay attention to some evidence.

The evidence Liang Xiaozhen brought back this time made Wang Chengen feel that it was enough to collect the net.Fan Yan, who happened to be watching at the gate of the He Mansion, also confirmed that the person in the portrait had entered the He Mansion.That's why the person who pretended to be Liu Xiang's envoy entered the mansion for confirmation.To do this, one is to be cautious, and the other is to fear that He Ting is not in the mansion, or escapes in the mansion.

After Wang Chengen saw that this side was facing each other again, he ordered lightly: "Seize the He Mansion, everyone, etc., take them all, requisition the cash prison, and put it in my Dongchang custody."

"Observe!" All the servants immediately agreed, and one of the Dongchang stewards personally led people to start the search of He's house.

In this way, Dongchang was in the south of Daming, and the first shot was fired aboveboard, and its sudden appearance in the south made those officials who didn't know that Fanyu was here before tremble with fear.

As the saying goes, He Ting was arrested when he pulled out a carrot and brought out the mud. After following the vines of Dongchang, a large number of officials were seized.After the imperial decree was invited in the chat group, the governor's government sent troops to cooperate, and the incidents of ransacking homes and arresting people happened from time to time in Zhejiang, Fujian, and Guangdong. Even in Jiangsu, two families were ransacked for questioning.

All of a sudden, the prestige of Dongchang surpassed Jin Yiwei's name in the south of Daming, which made Wang Chengen very happy, and finally overwhelmed Jin Yiwei.

But what makes him a little regretful is that the matter of He Ting has little to do with He Qiaoyuan after all.In other words, He Qiaoyuan didn't know about it, and He Ting took advantage of He Qiaoyuan's official position and many previous teacher-student relationships to make troubles.As far as He Qiaoyuan was concerned, this nephew from afar went to him, and from time to time he sent some filial gifts, and he was usually low-key and didn't ask for anything, so he didn't care much.

If the official hat of the governor of the three provinces is taken off, then this matter will be even more prestigious, what a pity!Wang Chengen thought so.

He Qiaoyuan was old, and it was because of this that he did not hesitate to write letters one after another asking for the sea ban at the expense of the remaining years.Emperor Chongzhen also appointed him as the governor of the three provinces in charge of opening the sea, even though he knew that he was old because of his pioneering work.Then, he sent the capable Sun Chuanting to assist him.

Now that He Qiaoyuan knew about his nephew, he felt very guilty. He felt that he was a drag on the court's opening of the sea, and he had no face to be the governor of the three provinces in name again, so he wrote a letter to resign.After repeated useless attempts by the emperor to keep him, he finally gave him a title so that he could return to his hometown and enjoy his old age in peace.

As a result, Sun Chuanting finally officially took over the heavy responsibility of opening the sea and became the governor of the three provinces. The original authority of the governor of Fujian was restored and replaced by Hong Yunzheng.
