Cai Lin, the governor of Yongning Guard, came to the Quanzhou Guard Office. Chen Xi's trial of the case would not work. He originally planned to loosen the officials at the Quanzhou Prefecture and County levels who were arrested and brought to justice, and confessed Zhang Lian's crimes.≯＞≥≦

Cai Lin acted arrogantly, but the more arrogant he was, the more he reflected the fear in this person's heart. Cai Lin was not sincerely trying to help Zhang Lian, he was just afraid that he would be implicated by the case...

Such an old eunuch who doesn't even have children is just to earn more money for pension and death. As for Zhang Lian's life or death, he would not care about it.

That night, Chen Xi stayed in the lobby and kept writing at his desk.

Yu Niang came in with a lantern and said earnestly: "Mr. Shen, as I said before, it is better to leave this case to the court to decide. Master. You should not cause trouble and ruin your future."

Chen Xi raised his head and asked with a smile: "Does Yu Niang have no confidence in me?"

Yu Niang wanted to say that after all, people are not sages, how can they never make mistakes? Is everything in this world under your calculations? But she didn't want to hit Chen Xi, so she said:

"There are mixed forces in Quanzhou. If Cai Zhenguan does not come, there will be others obstructing him. If he returns to the capital, he may not be at peace. I heard that Zhang Lian had sent the memorial to the capital in advance. I am afraid that the case will not be concluded, and the edict to punish Lord Shen will come, and all his efforts will be wasted at that time!"

Chen Xi shook his head and said, "It won't take long... Do you think I'm not in a hurry to go back? I've calculated my life. If I can leave this day, I can still rush back to the capital before the end of May. I will continue to file a trial tomorrow, but this time I believe that even Cai Lin has nothing to say."

Yu Niang thought about it, could Chen Xi have already obtained the exact evidence of the crime?

Now Cai Lin brings people around Luojiang Town, where the Quanzhou Guard Office is located, and even people cannot leave. How can we get the evidence of the crime?

However, Yu Niang also thought that even if Chen Xi could not get out, at least he had the Chamber of Commerce secretly help. However, the Chamber of Commerce was just a group of people from all walks of life and the ability to help was relatively limited.

That night, Chen Xi did not sleep all night, and Yu Niang also stayed in the lobby all night.

Yu Niang was afraid that Cai Lin's men would be detrimental to Chen Xi when they entered the Quanzhou Military Office, but it seemed that Cai Lin was sure to win, or maybe Cai Lin didn't expect to be detained before entering the Quanzhou Military Office, so she did not arrange rescue and assassination in advance. After a night, Chen Xi was still energetic, and Yu Niang herself was a little depressed.

Seeing that Chen Xi was still writing something, Yu Niang was curious about what Chen Xi was writing, but she also knew that she could not go up to check it out as she was.

As soon as the sky was dawn, Cai Lin stretched to the lobby of the Quanzhou Guard Office, and made a sharp and harsh voice: "Mr. Shen said that the case will be tried today. Our family will listen when you are trying to see who came out to prove that the prefect Zhang was corrupt and abused the law."

Cai Lin was afraid that Chen Xi would interrogate the people from Quanzhou Prefecture and Jinjiang County at night or at dawn, so he got up early in the morning to go to the lobby to watch. In fact, there was no difference between whether he was watching the trial, because everyone in Quanzhou Prefecture and County Office who was arrested yesterday knew that he was here, so who dared to speak nonsense?

Chen Xi smiled slightly and said, "The guards of Cai Zhen are so relaxed, which really makes me embarrassed. The news I just received was that Hui'an County had been captured by the riots four days ago. Hui'an County Magistrate was killed in the riots. Most of the officials in He County were killed by the riots. Later, the riots robbed the city, and a large number of people joined in it. If the riots affect Xinghua Prefecture, and Pinghaiwei will be dispatched, it will be said that they will dream in the daytime..."

"What?" Cai Lin was shocked when she heard this, but he quickly calmed down. "This is absolutely impossible. Where did you get the news? Why don't we know?"

At this moment, Wang He hurried in. He had just learned that Hui'an County was captured by the rebels, so he came to Chen Xi to discuss.

After hearing what Wang He said, Cai Lin was skeptical.

"To calm the civil unrest, we must mainly leave it to Commander Wang to be responsible. However, under the current circumstances, we should still hold the blame for the evil and suffocate the public. The Quanzhou Chamber of Commerce has prepared food. If the Quanzhou Guards set off to the northeast, they will be delivered to Hui'an County with the army." Chenxi Road.

The local government caused trouble to break through the county town, causing the imperial court to kill officials. This matter is not small. Wang He, as the commander of Quanzhou Guard, had no choice but to quell the rebellion.

Cai Lin felt that there were many crises because once the rebellion spreads and expands, the matter would be inextricably quarrels and the court would pursue it. Not only would he blame him for not being good at the court, but the corruption and bribery would also be highly likely to be exposed.

Cai Lin pointed at Chen Xi and shouted angrily: "If Lord Shen had not forcibly detained the people from the government office, why would it cause trouble? Our family would report to the court for you!"

Chen Xi seemed to hear an interesting joke and laughed: "Cai Zhenshou really knows how to turn the tables. There is chaos in the area. If you don't ask the reason for your love, you will immediately rely on me, the imperial envoy... I dare to ask Cai Zhenshou, when will the civil unrest be born, and when will the official arrive in Quanzhou to get it?"

Cai Lin was stunned.

It was originally a clever frame-up plan, but there was only a problem with time. Hui'an County fell four days ago, and Quanzhou Prefecture City, which Chen Xi only arrived yesterday, did not match the time at all.

Chen Xi took out a document from his arms and said, "This is a lawsuit jointly filed by Quanzhou merchants who sued the Quanzhou prefect for corruption and abuse of power, forcing merchants to pay bribes, buy private property, and force them to buy and sell. In addition, dozens of grain merchants sued the Quanzhou prefect, forcibly put the grain of each store into the treasury, affecting the business of each merchant. Does Cai Zhenshou need to see?"

When Cai Lin heard this, he looked embarrassed and said angrily: "Someone doesn't recognize the ghost thing above."

As an eunuch in charge, Cai Lin was illiterate.

Chenxidao: "If you don't know Cai Zhenshou, then I will read it to you personally. However, before reading, I also had a letter of Wanmin written by the people of Nan'an and Tong'an counties, suing the Quanzhou magistrate Zhang Lian and others. They ignored the disaster in Quanzhou in recent years, privately changed the yellow book, forcibly levy taxes, increased labor and sought personal gains, and sent troops to hunt down and kill people when the people had no way to survive."

Cai Lin's face was already like earth at this time. If what Chen Xi said was true, Zhang Lian would not be dead even if he had ten lives.

But he thought that this letter of the people may not be true. Even if Chen Xi was the imperial envoy, where did he get these two letters of the people?

Cai Lin raised his face and said, "Don't scare people, is it easy to get it as a book of all people?"

Chen Xi shook his head and sighed: "If you don't believe it, just forget it. A few days ago, a batch of disaster relief grain raised by Quanzhou merchants was transported to the disaster area. I wonder if Cai Zhenshou has heard of it?"

Cai Lin thought about it a little, but as a guard at the garrison, how could he know about such matters involving local administration?

"...If merchants come forward, the people will receive relief. What's the difficulty of letting them sign and keep their signatures on the imperial certificate? If Cai Zhenzhang still wants to excuse the criminal Zhang Lian, then the official can only be the same party as Cai Zhenzhang and Zhang Lian. He will tell Your Majesty that the emperor will decide... Commander-in-chief, please look at these two confessions, but they are forged?"

Wang He read carefully and found that the two books on Wanmin were not fake, which means that before Chen Xi asked Quanzhou Guard to come forward to take the people, there was already conclusive evidence.

However, the people sued officials not in line with the laws of the Ming Dynasty, and these two books of the people cannot be proved. However, the situation is different now. Because Hui'an County was defeated by the rioters, most of the officials in a county died of unlawful life. As the prefect of Quanzhou, Zhang Lian could not escape the blame. In addition, the court wanted to investigate the cause, so these two books of the people were very telling.

Chen Xi asked, "Commander Wang, I don't know that the local chaos is caused by Zhang Lian's corruption and abuse of power?"

Chen Xi used to need people from Quanzhou prefecture and county yamen to testify for him. Now it's different. Even Wang He can come forward to testify. Because there is a large-scale civil chaos in the local area, the people from the garrison will only try to clear the relationship and push the responsibility to the prefect's yamen.

To understand this, without Wang He's statement, Cai Lin was already yelling: "It's the criminal Zhang Lian, who was corrupt and abused the law, and the public was so resentful. The food resistance case in the first year... He was the initiator. Lord Shen, you must enforce the law impartially and not involve innocent people!"

Cai Lin was still very clamoring before, but when the situation was not good, he immediately became a fence-bearer and decisively turned the gun. Not only did he not help Zhang Lian, he instead took the blame.

"Okay." Chen Xi nodded, "There are two people who came forward to the cauldron certificate. I think Your Majesty will know who is in Quanzhou, causing trouble to the people and living in poverty. Please also ask your Majesty to sign with your Majesty's memorial!"

Cai Lin was a little hesitant, but when Wang He put the person who sent the message from Yongning Wei in, Cai Lin learned that something really happened in Hui'an County and that Chen Xi was not lying, he completely gave up on the idea of ​​protecting Zhang Lian. Now he was thinking that Zhang Lian must not be allowed to live to the capital, otherwise he would have to be buried with him if he was given out.

"Mr. Shen, please write the memorials yourself. Our family can't read, just write them."

Cai Lin was sweating coldly on his forehead. Chen Xi said that he would be held accountable. Now he would be exchanged for Chen Xi's compatibility and compromise on this issue. Killing Chen Xi's silence is no longer possible, because even if Chen Xi, the imperial envoy died, the rebellion in Quanzhou could not be suppressed, and the court would send someone else to investigate.

The murder of the imperial envoy is a serious crime to kill the nine clans. Why bother yourself? It is better to have bribes directly and effectively! Cai Lin thought to himself: "When I go back, I will send hundreds of taels of silver immediately. I am afraid that this kid will not be able to get in. I will think of a solution and never let Zhang Lian live. This is a disaster."

Even if Cai Lin is greedy, he does not have a good way to be greedy. He cannot be like Zhang Lian who can only make 60,000 taels of silver at one move.

Yu Niang was beside her and she was not stunned for a long time. Only now did she know why Chen Xi was so sure, because Chen Xi had expected this result from the beginning.

Now that I think about it, Cai Lin's arrival is not a bad thing. This eunuch who is greedy for life and fears death instead "helps" Chen Xi at a critical moment.

Chen Xi wrote nothing else yesterday, but it was a memorial to the court. Chen Xi prepared several plans, and finally chose the text of him, the imperial envoy, local people and the garrison, reporting Zhang Lian's corrupt law and abuse.

Everyone pushed him out. After Wang He signed his name, he immediately wanted to arrange to quell the rebellion. As for Cai Lin, he was not in a hurry to leave, and he wanted to stay and supervise Chen Xi's trial.

But at this time, Cai Lin no longer interferes with it, but wants to supervise and see who is not open to Zhang Lian. If he does not put all the blame on Zhang Lian, then everyone will suffer with Zhang Lian.

"Let's start the trial."

Chen Xi finally sat back on the desk in the lobby, "In one day, the case must be concluded. The official must report to His Majesty together with all the confessions of the persons involved in the case, and His Majesty will decide the case."

Cai Lin smiled and said, "Your Majesty doesn't need to decide. Our family will see, it's better for you to decide. Isn't it all done by the imperial envoy?"

Chen Xi glanced at Cai Lin. The other party clearly wanted to instigate him to show off his power. He took action first and then reported to Zhang Lian, the culprit. He shook his head slightly and said, "This is not a storytelling and opera. There is no Shangfang sword, nor a flag. What authority does this imperial envoy have to determine the life and death of a court official? The person who came was the garrison seat of Cai Zhen and let Cai Zhen Shou participate in the trial together."

Cai Lin waved his hand quickly: "Are you an imperial envoy? The case will be tried. We are standing by our family, just listen." As he said that, Cai Lin wiped the cold sweat from his head and thought to himself: "Luckily, I'm here, otherwise I won't know how to die."
