Domineering Daming

Zhang Lu was a little reconciled, but he didn't dare to disobey Gong Dingzi's intention, so he turned around and left again.

Qian Qianyi drank a few cups, then suddenly came to his senses, called for his servants, and said, "Is it time to welcome the bride?"

"Master, we're here." The servant said.

"Okay, let's go!" Qian Qianyi was overjoyed, and walked outside with a flushed face.

"Master, Lord Wang is here." Just as Qian Qianyi was about to move, a servant whispered behind him.

Qian Qianyi paused, turned to look at him and said, "Wang Beicheng?"

Wang Beicheng was first the deputy governor of the Jiangsu Governor's Council. He basically presided over the affairs of the Governor's Council, and his influence in Nanzhili was growing. Moreover, he was extremely important among the officials in Nanzhili, so he should not be underestimated.

"Yes." The servant said quickly.

Qian Qianyi was overjoyed, this Wang Beicheng might be a start, and he didn't care about welcoming the bride, so he strode towards the door, packed his clothes, and was ready to greet him.

Before he reached the door, Wang Beicheng was dressed in an official uniform, and he had already stepped over the threshold.

Qian Qianyi looked happy, raised his hand and said loudly: "Master Wang..."

His voice was very loud, as if he was afraid that others would not hear him. Before he could finish his words, a group of servants from the Governor's Office divided into two rows and passed through Wang Beicheng's left and right, rushed into the Qian's mansion, blocked the others, and surrounded him. Qian Qianyi.

Qian Qianyi's heart skipped a beat, and his expression changed suddenly.

The Qian Mansion, which was originally noisy and lively, could be heard immediately. Everyone looked at Wang Beicheng, and then they all quietly gathered around, their eyes showing vigilance.

Gong Dingzi's eyes became more sinister, and he walked over with a smile.

"Qian Qianyi, are you convicted?" Wang Beicheng ignored the others and looked at Qian Qianyi expressionlessly.

Qian Qianyi's face sank like water, his heart was in a mess, but he still raised his hand and said stiffly: "What is my crime?"

As soon as Qian Qianyi's words fell, a young man nearby shouted loudly: "Yes, what is Mr. Qian's crime? He is no longer an official, and he is not under the imperial ban. What is his guilt?"

"Yeah, you are too lenient. Do you still want to take care of me after resigning from office? Is there still a king's law?"

"Are you charged with arresting Mr. Qian? If not, you don't want to arrest anyone!"

A large group of people were excited, pushing and shouting with the yamen servants.

With an ugly old face, Wang Beicheng glanced coldly at the group of people.

Maybe it was because Wang Beicheng still had a bit of prestige, or maybe it was because of his high official position, the group of people immediately fell silent, but they didn't back down.

Qian Qianyi's face was very ugly, and he was even more afraid in his heart. He was shaking all over, but he still insisted: "Please tell me clearly, Mr. Wang!"

Leaning on crutches, Wang Beicheng said indifferently: "First, deceiving the emperor and despising the court. Second, accepting prostitutes and marrying prostitutes is against the customs. Third, there is no merit for an official, and no virtue for the people. Fourth, there is integrity. Mistakes, improper conduct. Fifth..."

Wang Beicheng is also a veteran literati, even if he is not guilty, he can open his mouth to say dozens of things, not to mention Qian Qianyi is a real handle!

The people listening around were all startled, they didn't expect Wang Beicheng to come prepared, he had already made up his crimes.At this moment, everyone looked at Qian Qianyi anxiously. If Wang Beicheng had come prepared, this matter would be difficult to deal with!

The corner of Gong Dingzi's mouth curled up, he stood in the crowd, looked at Qian Qianyi's back, his eyes became more evil, and suddenly whispered to himself: "Here we come!"

Zhang Lu beside him frowned slightly, a little confused.

At this moment, a carriage stopped in front of the gate of Qian Mansion, but the people inside had no intention of getting out of the carriage.

The corners of Gong Dingzi's mouth smiled more sinisterly, and a trace of obscenity flashed in his eyes.

Qian Qianyi's complexion gradually darkened, seeing that Wang Beicheng did not immediately refute.The so-called impediment to customs, no merit and no virtue, and improper behavior are all false, and the key is the first one.

Deceive the emperor and despise the court!

This is a universal crime, as long as there is a little trick, he can be caught, but Qian Qianyi is the former minister of the Ministry of Rites after all, and he can't be arrested and sent to prison just by looking for the wind.

The key question is, what is the handle that Wang Beicheng caught?

Qian Qianyi couldn't think of it after thinking about it. He was also the first person to follow the emperor. He was always cautious and never exceeded the rules.He thought about the things in the capital all over, but he still couldn't think of anything!

Suppressing the panic in his heart, Qian Qianyi looked at Wang Beicheng, and said solemnly: "My lord, I don't know where the charge of deceiving the emperor and contempt of the court comes from?"

Wang Beicheng said indifferently: "You used to push the 'nine prohibitions' in the imperial court, and you personally punished many people. For this, you were praised by the emperor and the imperial court. Now that you resign from office and return to your hometown, you marry prostitutes. People in the world look at the emperor, the court is a joke, you say, this is not deceiving the emperor, what is contempt for the court?"

Qian Qianyiwan did not expect that the problem actually lies here.He was also overjoyed and sad, he didn't react, and now he was sweating and his whole body was icy cold.

The people around are all silent, this is indeed a real crime, and it is also an irrefutable crime in terms of "morality" that Daming values ​​most!

One moment he shouted "a gentleman", and the next moment he became a "treacherous villain", no one can say anything!

"Lord Qian, are you going with me, or are you being detained?" Wang Beicheng looked at Qian Qianyi's expression, and said with a more expressionless face.

As soon as he finished speaking, all the government officials stepped forward, vaguely intending to draw their swords.

Immediately, the surroundings were quiet, and there was an evil spirit permeating the air.These yamen servants were selected from recruits from various places in the Ming Dynasty. They have all undergone at least one year of training, and all of them are quite powerful.

Qian Qianyi's face turned pale, and the corners of his mouth trembled.He knew very well that he would never come back after this trip, and his official ambitions would all be in vain!

Madam Qian was standing not far behind Qian Qianyi, her expression was flustered and she was bewildered.

As for those guests, those who were called brothers and sisters before, and who were extremely enthusiastic, have already retreated to the side, wishing they could turn into ostriches and bury their heads.

Qian Qianyi looked at Wang Beicheng, with a difficult and stiff smile on his face, and said, "Master Wang, can you accommodate me a bit? I still have some things to do..."

Wang Beicheng naturally knew what he meant, and said indifferently: "Master Qian, don't worry, this is an order from the cabinet flying pigeons, there are seven in a row, and the order is to take you directly to the capital for trial. Let’s talk about the capital.”

Chapter 867

There was still a big red lantern hanging on the gate of the Qian Mansion, and the joy was lingering. A group of people were reeking of alcohol, and the smiles on their faces were still stiff.

But Wang Beicheng stood in front of the door, like a door god, the cold air was wanton, covering the inside and outside of the compound in desolation.

There are at least 400 people here, all of them dare not breathe, and they are as depressed as the execution ground at Caishikou.

Not far behind Qian Qianyi, Mrs. Qian, who was the former Shangshu, her servant's complexion changed, and she was flustered, and no one dared to show her head.

The yamen servants around Wang Beicheng were holding knives in their hands, and their faces were grim.Cao Wenzhao recruited many recruits in Nanzhili for one year. Although these were all eliminated, some of them had seen blood.

Qian Qianyi's back felt cold, his obese body trembled non-stop, and he looked at Wang Beicheng with wide eyes.

Wang Beicheng's words were simple and clear, this matter was not done by the Nanzhili Governor's Yamen, it was an order from the imperial court!In other words, what he thought was a trick—it was self-defeating!

There is definitely no day for him to return after this trip, and his mind quickly turned to what kind of connections he has in the capital that can be used to rescue him, as long as he can be rescued, there is still hope.

But his mind was like lightning, but he couldn't find a suitable one. The emperor was like a mountain, and he didn't dare to move in the capital. He didn't have any "friends" at all, and some of them couldn't help!

After a long while, Qian Qianyi raised his hand with a gloomy face and said, "Master Wang, you and I are both from Nanzhili, belonging to the same town..."
