For the past two days, the capital has been noisy, making many people uneasy. Especially today, there are so many soldiers and factory guards on the streets, which makes people even more frightened.

The former chief assistant Han Xu was a little restless at home and couldn't calm down at all. As soon as there was any movement outside, I thought it was the servant sent to inquire about the news and returned, so I was anxious to know the situation.

With a "pop", a teacup was thrown to the ground by Han Xu, and it broke into countless pieces in an instant: "I have only been serving as the first assistant for a few days. Are these domestic slaves starting to be perfunctory?"

After he retired from his high position, colleagues occasionally came to visit him. But then there was no more martial law. Even after the martial law was lifted, he didn't see any colleagues coming. Instead, he heard that the sedan chairs coming to visit the Wen Mansion were all lined up at the end of the street, which made him feel a little disappointed.

This kind of emotion became more and more obvious in Han Xu at this time. He had completely lost his previous calmness and began to doubt his domestic slave.

The maids and servants waiting nearby knew that nothing could go wrong at this time, so they were all frightened and trembling, trying to reduce their presence as much as possible.

"Master, it's not good, Master, it's not good..." A frightened voice came from outside accompanied by rapid footsteps.

When Han Xu heard this, his heart tightened, he strode to the door, opened the closed door suddenly, let the cold wind hit his face, and shouted angrily: "What happened? Something happened to the money bank?"

A servant in his forties who looked very stable at first glance had a panicked look on his face. When he arrived in front of Han Xu, he gasped and said: "No, there is nothing going on at the Qiangtang yet. It's Mr. Cao, Mr. Zuodu Yushi." problem occurs!"

"What? What happened to him?" Upon hearing this, Han Xu wanted to take a step closer, but accidentally tripped over the threshold and fell out.

Fortunately, the servant in front of him had quick eyesight and quick hands to help him. After a while of fussing, he returned to the house, closed the door, and then continued to report: "Master Cao was questioned by the emperor, and now his head has been hung on the Meridian Gate, together with the heads of Luo Yangxing and Yuan Chonghuan!"

Han Xu was dumbfounded when he heard this. He felt a little unbelievable. He was in a high position as the censor of Zuodu. How could he just kill him at the drop of a hat? He came back to his senses and asked in a panic: "What is the crime?"

"In front of the emperor, he fabricated charges to attack the chief minister, but was exposed by the royal guards. The emperor was furious and beheaded the public, saying that other officials should be alert." The servant reported the situation he heard, and then hesitated for a while and said, "It seems He also said that in the future, the censors and officials would not be allowed to hear about the incident, and they would wrongfully accuse good people."

At this time, Han Xu had come to his senses and slowly calmed down after understanding the situation. He frowned, feeling that the emperor was trying to kill a chicken and scare a monkey. Otherwise, party disputes like this between North Korea and China did not happen before. Most of them were demoted, so it would not be so serious.

Why was Cao Yubian so unlucky that he made Long Yan furious and ended up like this? As a result, without a strong ally, can he make a comeback in the future?

Han Xu was actually right. If Hu Guang hadn't come from a later generation and knew that party strife in the late Ming Dynasty must be curbed. If Hu Guang didn't know that Cao Yubian was related to the traitorous Shanxi merchants, he wouldn't have gone to the extent of killing people.

It's just a pity that Hu Guang has already decided to deal with the influence of these Shanxi merchants in the court. If he has the opportunity, he will naturally not miss it.

Han Xu was thinking about the murder of Cao Yubian, when suddenly another servant hurried back and reported to him that the Cao family's grain store had been closed.

At this moment, Han Xu was so frightened that he stood up and quickly ordered his men: "Quick, go to Yongchang Bank and take out all the banknotes!"

The Yongchang bank account has Cao Yubian's shares, and it can be regarded as one of the Cao family's properties. Judging from this posture, the emperor was raiding the Cao family, and the grain store was the most obvious thing, so he raided it immediately. As time goes by, if the factory guard discovers the ticket number, it is very likely that the ticket number will be blocked.

After giving the instructions, he felt a little uneasy, and immediately added: "Quickly, gather the people, prepare the sedan, and I will go there myself!"

Suddenly, the Han Mansion was in a state of chaos. After a while, in the biting cold wind, about thirty servants of the Han Mansion drove five carriages, carrying a sedan, and two servants on horseback opened the way. , left Han Mansion in a hurry.

Han Xu even ignored the severe cold. After a while, he opened the curtain and ordered angrily: "Hurry, hurry up!"

There are at least 500,000 taels of silver in the Yongchang ticket number, which is the principal used to make money. Although only 80,000 taels belong to him, he can actually mobilize the other money. This is one of the capital he uses for activities in the capital. It is very important to him and cannot be lost!

There was a "pop" sound, the riding whip was whipped in the air, and the horseman who was leading the way fiercely shouted at the pedestrians who were hurriedly lowering their heads and yelling: "Quickly get out of the way, or I will hit you and cripple you!"

Han Xu's mood obviously affected these servants, and they all showed their ferocious side and ran rampant on the street.

When passers-by saw the sign of Han Mansion and saw so many healthy servants, those who dared to contradict him fled in panic.

After seeing the people of Han Mansion go away, he would spit and curse in secret.

Han Xu sat in the sedan and paid no attention to the situation outside. He thought that this speed was enough. After all, I made a prompt decision after receiving the report, so it should be too late. As long as you transfer the money and rely on your status, everything will be fine.

Not long after, the sedan stopped. Han Xu was moved in his heart and asked quickly: "But it's here?"

"Master, we are late. There are already many soldiers at the ticket gate." The servant outside replied a little frustrated.

When Han Xu heard this, he was shocked and asked quickly: "Are you from the Wucheng Army and Horses Division?"

If he was from the Wucheng Army and Horses Division, Han Xu was still confident that as long as he showed up, it would definitely be convenient for him.

"No, they are from the Beijing camp, and the leader seems to be Man Gui's trusted servant." The servant outside was obviously well-informed, and had some knowledge of Man Gui, the popular man at the moment.

After hearing this, Han Xu secretly thought that something was going to happen. He and Man Gui are not on the same line, and their relationship is not good. He quickly opened the curtain to observe.

Sure enough, he saw that many soldiers had surrounded Yongchang Ticket Office. What surprised him even more was that just a moment ago, several Dongchang Fanzi and Jinyiwei walked out of it.

"Hurry, go back home!" Han Xu quickly lowered the curtain, stepped on the sedan and shouted loudly.

The factory guards were all cronies of the emperor, and they were also mad dogs. If they were targeted, it might cause more trouble. I don’t want this money anymore. Contact other people. The most important thing now is to understand the current situation.

The team from Han Mansion turned a corner and walked away in a hurry, as if they were just passing by. Little did they know that from behind a window on the second floor, Cao Huachun was looking at them and sneering. If he didn't take action at this time, it was obvious that the time had not come yet.
