Chapter 22: Checking Chen's Mansion
"The Jinyiwei handles cases, and the idle people wait to avoid them quickly!" This sentence has scared the people since the Hongwu period, and finally appeared again in the capital.
The streets immediately became panic, and the people avoided and dodged. Immediately afterwards, the sound of horse hooves accompanied by footsteps, and the Jinyiwei in the flying fish suits took neat steps, breaking the tranquility of the Forbidden City.
The Jinyiwei handled the case in one word, hurry up. When they arrived outside Chen Yan, the left minister of the Ministry of Rites, they quickly surrounded the mansion. Immediately afterwards, a thousand households rushed in with their people.
Qianhu is named Xia Dechao, and there may be many people who don’t know his name. However, not many people who mention Xia Mingxuan, the seventh generation commander of the Jinyiwei, who was the ancestor of Xia Dechao, did not know much. At that time, Xia Mingxuan followed Emperor Chengzu and found countless corrupt officials. Among the commanders of the Jinyiwei in history, this person has one of the best reputations.
The Jinyiwei is above the law and is a team under the jurisdiction of the emperor. They have extremely high powers, and no department needs to agree to the arrest and interrogation. Moreover, the Jinyiwei cannot stop the case handling by any department. This is a license to imperial power, and it has the power to take action first and then report.
Such an armed organization is actually a double-edged sword. In the hands of the wise king, the Jinyiwei will become a loyal and brave organization that will destroy all the unfair things in the world. However, in the hands of the slutty king, it is often easy to cause some unjust, false and wrong cases or even cover the sky with one hand.
But no matter how powerful the Jinyiwei has, it is just an emperor's method of dealing with his ministers. Without the emperor's support, the Jinyiwei will lose its former prestige. In the Jinyiwei's motto of life, there is no right or wrong, only a matter of loyalty to the emperor.
Loyalty to the king is the duty of every Jinyiwei. Every emperor will come to power and carry out a great purge on the Jinyiwei. The emperor will replace the person he trusts the most and take charge of the Jinyiwei's various intelligence tasks for him. The Jinyiwei has no regrets about this. The only one who is loyal to them is the imperial power.
Chen Yan got up early in the morning, and he liked to drink tea. Some of the good teas from all over the country and even foreign countries could not reach the imperial court, but could go to the mansion of Chen Yan and Lord Chen.
It’s not that Chen Yan has such a high power. He is just a left minister of the Ministry of Rites. Instead, he has his own means. The Ministry of Rites is under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of Rites, and the Ministry of Rites. There will always be people who will be pleased to bring him a lot of precious tea.
Even the mouthwash that he got up, Chen Yan used the best West Lake Longjing. After he got up today, his servants had already brought up the prepared mouthwash Longjing.
When Chen Yan came to the yard, he stretched his waist first. Then he let out a long breath of turbid air from his chest, which was the method he got from an old Taoist. He got up in the early morning, faced the southeast, exhaled the turbid air from his chest and abdomen, and took a deep breath to clear the air, which was beneficial to life and prolonged life.
I don’t know whether it can last longer. Anyway, it has become a habit for Chen Yan over the years. He vomited to the southeast, took the servant and handed it to the mouth-washing tea. He put it in his mouth for a while, and then squirted it out into the air.
In the early morning sun, a rainbow appeared in front of Chen Yan. He put the teacup back into the tray in his servant's hand with satisfaction, tidied up his court uniform, looked up at the sky. Well, today is another good weather.
In today's terms, it's another day full of vitality.
Unfortunately, things went against my wishes. Just as Chen Yan wanted to continue moving his muscles, the occupants were suddenly knocked open. The force was so strong that the rivets on the door bolt were knocked open. Before Chen Yan could come back to his senses, a team of gorgeously dressed Jinyiwei rushed in.
The Jinyiwei has three standard features: embroidered spring sword, flying fish suit, and gold token. Because he is in charge of criminal prisons and inspections, no one will give face when the token is released.
Qianhu Xia Dechao looked very much like the God of War in his crooked mouth. He gently took out the token from his waist: "Mr. Chen, come with us."
It has been a long time since the Jinyiwei has acted so vigorously. Chen Yan even had an illusion that the Jinyiwei has long been a group of pets with degenerated fangs. When he saw these officials, he would only shake his tail and beg for mercy, but today, he saw a group of wolves and a group of hungry wolves with bared fangs.
The next second, a huge fear began to spread in Chen Yan's heart. He finally remembered that the imperial edict issued by Long Live in the court many days ago, and ordered the Crown Prince to take charge of the deputy commander of the Jinyiwei.
At that time, everyone thought that this was just a whim of the Emperor Long live. Let the young crown prince experience it. The so-called deputy commander was just a false title with a reputation.
Now he understood that it turned out that this had been arranged by Master Long. Wansui wanted to do something to himself, but when he thought of this, cold sweat flowed down Chen Yan's forehead.
He even forgot to argue and resist, and Xia Dechao waved his hand: "Catch it!"
Several Jinyiweis beside him went over and grabbed Chen Yan without saying a word. In fact, any arguments and resistance were futile. In the hands of Jinyiwei, there were only four words: "Life is worse than death."
Chen Yan is an old man in the court. He knows the procedures of the Jinyiwei very well. So he did not make too much quibbling. In addition, he has seen the servants around him lower their heads.
Then, the Jinyiwei outside rushed in one after another. They rushed into Chen Yan's mansion with ease and obstructed the entire Chen mansion.
Some of the family members began to cry, and everyone's face was filled with fear. In addition to those who were arranged by the Jinyiwei, including the servant who lowered his head beside Chen Yan.
Chen Yan finally understood that the group of people listed by the Jinyiwei were all betrayed by them. Among them were servants who had followed him for many years, and their concubines. The things they had in their hands were enough to die a hundred times.
Fear continued to spread in Chen Yan's heart. He began to tremble, his legs were like sieve crumbs, while the Jinyiwei's men had expressionless expressions. Xia Dechao looked at him contemptuously: "Mr. Chen, Your Highness the Crown Prince has an order, and asked Mr. Chen to go to the imperial prison with us. I heard that Mr. Chen likes to drink tea. There are excellent tea in the imperial prison of our Beizhenfushi."
Chen Yan trembled uncontrollably, so he could not move any more. He was as soft as noodles, so he had to be carried out by the Jinyiwei out of the mansion. Then, the entire Chen Mansion was sealed. All the family members of the Chen Mansion were taken out.
The home of Chen Yan, the left assistant minister of the Ministry of Rites, was stolen by the Jinyiwei. It was like a bomb that spread in the capital in an instant.
