Chapter 473: Hands? Demolish with bare feet!
Today it is today.

The Qing dynasty established the Jinyiwei, the East Factory, the West Factory and other supervisory agencies independent of the court. However, only the Jinyiwei is still able to intimidate people today.

When the five words "Jinyiweibanchao" came out of Zhu Qi's mouth.

Sun Kehong, the transport commissioner of the Lianghuai Salt Transport Commissioner's Office, stuck his head out of the carriage, and his mind went blank for a moment. He didn't even notice his shoulder trembling, let alone that his face had turned pale in an instant.

Outside the carriage.

Zhu Qi was wearing a Feiyu suit, an embroidered spring sword on his waist, a dark black cloak on the outside, and a few snowflakes hanging on his official hat.

Behind him was Qi Dazhu, who was only wearing a thin flying fish suit, which highlighted his tiger back, wasp waist, and mantis legs.

And around the carriage.

The Lianghuai Salt Bureau officials who were originally protecting Sun Kehong had either collapsed to the ground or squatted in the snow with their hands around their necks.

A few pieces of snow were silently dyed red.

The head of the Lianghuai Salt Administration, who intercepted the canal ships here today and arrested Gu Shao, was leaning under the prison car with a deathly pale face and lifeless eyes.

Gu Shao, who had already accepted his fate in the prison car, looked at the Jinyiwei cavalry who suddenly attacked him from all around, and his eyes, which had already accepted death, were gradually rekindling hope.

"injustice!"

"The common people have been wronged!"

"Sun Kehong, the director of the Lianghuai Salt Administration's Transportation Department, is violating the law!"

"Please ask the superiors to do justice!"

"..."

Gu Shao held the prison car cage tightly with both hands, roared loudly, and shook the prison car vigorously, causing the snow on the prison car cage to fall off.

As luck would have it, it was Gu Shao's roar in the prison car that finally woke up Sun Kehong in the carriage.

His eyes regained clarity in an instant.

Sun Kehong looked at Zhu Qi under the carriage and immediately frowned: "How dare you, Jinyiwei Tiqi, stop me from driving! The factory guards are investigating and should have official documents issued by the court. You stopped me at the bank of the canal, are you planning to rebel?"

Zhu Qi looked coldly at Sun Kehong, who started shouting after waking up. He snorted coldly, pressed the knife with his left hand, and took a step forward.

"The Imperial Guards are under the Emperor's order to investigate the case, with special permission from the Emperor!"

Seeing Zhu Qi holding the knife in his hand, Sun Kehong's throat moved a little, and his tone softened a little, but his brows were still furrowed: "I am also the transport envoy of the Lianghuai Salt Administration appointed by the emperor. What exactly do you want to do today?"

Zhu Qiyan was succinct: "Investigating and handling illegal matters."

Sun Kehong also leaned out of the carriage and looked back at the prisoner carriage behind him: "This man is a smuggler..."

Before he could finish his words, Sun Kehong finally saw the scene outside the carriage. He saw that the officials and managers of his Lianghuai Salt Administration had been suppressed by a large number of Jinyiwei cavalrymen holding knives.

The bloodstains on the ground also clearly entered Sun Kehong's sight.

It seems that Sun Kehong has roughly understood the current situation.

Zhu Qi sneered and stared at Sun Kehong: "Sun Duyun, our department has found that the Lianghuai Salt Bureau is illegal, and most of it is due to you. Please get off the carriage and go to the Northern Pacification Bureau with us."

He saw that this group of Jinyiwei were actually coming for him.

Sun Kehong finally started to panic.

He immediately shrunk his entire body back into the carriage, lifted the curtain with his hand, and shouted loudly: "What have I done wrong! If you want to investigate me, you should send a letter to the Lianghuai Salt Administration! You are not clear and you want to investigate me without knowing the truth. I have to question whether you are deceiving your superiors and lynching your subordinates!"

Seeing Sun Kehong clamoring.

Zhu Qi was unmoved and simply asked, "Sun Duyun, please get off the car."

A few gusts of cold wind blew, and a heavy cloud of snow fell on the canal embankment.

The cold wind is biting and makes people shiver.

Sun Kehong's face flushed red: "Without a letter from the three courts, I will not go down!"

Zhu Qi took another step forward and was close to the carriage.

"Sun Kehong, get out of the car!"

"If I don't give up, what can you do?"

A thud.

Zhu Qi kicked coldly and directly broke the connection between the carriage and the horses pulling it.

With a clang, without the horses carrying the load in front, the carriage dropped heavily.

Sun Kehong staggered and fell in the carriage, holding tightly onto the frames on both sides with his hands. His originally flushed cheeks turned completely pale and bloodless.

"get off!"

Zhu Qi spoke again in a cold voice.

Sun Kehong had long lost his mind and could only yell incoherently: "I will not give up! I am the emperor..."

Zhu Qi's eyebrows sank and the corners of his eyes turned up.

There was a loud bang.

Another kick.

The beam that supported the carriage from front to back was kicked away by Zhu Qi. It traveled several feet and stuck heavily in the snow in the field outside the canal, sinking several feet into the snow.

And things don't end here yet.

As one of the load-bearing beams was removed, the entire carriage began to make a creaking sound, and then the roof on the side without the beam suddenly collapsed downwards.

Then.

The entire carriage collapsed with a loud bang, and wooden planks were scattered all over the ground.

Sun Kehong, who had been unwilling to come out of the carriage, fell to the ground as the carriage collapsed and was crushed by the falling roof.

aside.

Gu Shao, who had been shouting about his injustice in the prison van, suddenly became silent. His eyes were fixed on the empty and messy ground where the carriage was supposed to be parked.

Even Qi Dazhu, who had been working for Zhu Qi for a long time, was shocked by this scene.

In a daze.

Qi Dazhu even whispered: "Seventh Master is unparalleled!"

In the chaos, Zhu Qi held the Embroidered Spring Sword at his waist, stepped forward to the ruins, bent down and reached out his hand, and grabbed Sun Kehong's collar at the back of his neck as if he were catching a chicken. He dragged him on the ground to the prison van with one hand, and then threw him casually, and Sun Kehong fell face first into the snow.

"Pooh!"

Zhu Qi spat at Sun Kehong, who was lying on the ground, with disgust in his eyes, and shouted coldly: "Shameless bastard!"

Sun Kehong was so frightened at this time that he was almost out of his wits. The cold snow on the ground frightened him so much that he quickly turned around and sat down on the ground.

He stared at Zhu Qi who was standing in front of him with wide eyes as if he had seen a ghost, and pushed his hands on the ground randomly, trying to get further away from the other person.

Zhu Qi ordered Qi Dazhu: "Start the prison cart, put this beast in it, and send him back to the capital!" Upon receiving the order, Qi Dazhu immediately started the prison cart with the surrounding Ti cavalry and threw the frightened Sun Kehong into it.

Gu Shao, who was already in the prison van, finally reacted: "Officer, I...I...I...I have been wrongly accused! Please help me."

However, no one paid attention to Gu Shao's shouting.

Since Sun Kehong was thrown into the prison van, the door of the van was locked again and Gu Shaozi could not get out.

The head of the Lianghuai Salt Administration and a group of runners and soldiers who were controlled and suppressed by the Jinyiwei Tiqi at the scene had their hands tied up with ropes and were tied to the back of the prison cart.

Soon Qi Dazhu had prepared everything.

Zhu Qi then got on the warhorse that Qi Dazhu had personally brought and waved his cloak, "Return to the capital!"

……

"When are you planning to return to Beijing?"

Zhang Juzheng paced back and forth, and finally came behind Yan Shaoting, who was leaning on the railing looking at the snow scenery of Nanjing, and asked curiously.

Yan Shaoting smiled to himself and said to his student Wang Xijue, "The snow scenery in the south of the Yangtze River and the beautiful Zhongshan Mountain. When the snow stops, we can go up the mountain to enjoy the beauty of the winter in the south of the Yangtze River."

Wang Xijue also smiled and replied: "Sir, if you have such a refined taste, I will definitely cook a bowl of red soup for you under the pavilion in the mountains."

Yan Shaoting shook his head repeatedly: "The tea flavor is not enough. You should boil a pot of Shaoxing yellow tea with ginger and red dates in the mountains. Only then can you appreciate it."

Wang Xijue immediately nodded and said, "Mr. Ya!"

Seeing that the teacher and student completely ignored him, Zhang Juzheng rolled his eyes.

He gritted his teeth and said, "Now that Zhu Qi is gone, Qi Dazhu is gone too. What on earth are they doing? I always feel that you have something that you haven't told me. But this matter must be related to the current situation, and even whether Xu Jie and the Xu family can be truly overthrown in one blow!"

Zhang Juzheng was scratching his head and feeling itchy, so he stepped forward and stood in front of Yan Shaoting who was leaning on the railing and looking at the snow scenery.

"Tell me quickly!"

The snow scene disappeared, and all that was left before my eyes was Zhang Juzheng's relatively handsome face.

Yan Shaoting took two steps back and said helplessly: "You really lack some elegance. Even if you are in a high position in the future, your reputation will definitely be bad."

What does that mean?

Ju Zheng is good at planning for the country, but pays little attention to himself.

Zhang Juzheng refused to give in. This issue had been bothering him for several days.

Ever since Qi Dazhu disappeared from the West Garden and Zhu Qi suddenly left Nanjing, he finally realized that Yan Shaoting had a backup plan that he had not told him.

After catching Yan Shaoting, Zhang Juzheng immediately asked, "Is it Huating? Did Zhu Qi and Qi Dazhu find any evidence in Huating? That's why they disappeared?"

Yan Shaoting reached out and pushed Zhang Juzheng to the side. The view in front of him suddenly became clear again. Outside the corridor, snow was falling on the pine branches.

He whispered, "In the past few years, there have been many changes in the court. That was when my uncle left Beijing for the first time and went south to take charge of the two prefectures of Suzhou and Songjiang to supervise the two prefectures' conversion from cotton to mulberry. The court also sent Yan Maoqing to the two Huai regions to supervise the salt business in order to collect salt taxes to fill the national treasury. Uncle, do you still remember this?"

Zhang Juzheng nodded immediately: "How could I not know about this? Yan Maoqing went south and caused chaos in Lianghuai. He plundered the area to the utmost and concealed millions of dollars when he returned to Beijing. After the incident, he was convicted and punished by the court."

His eyes turned, and then he spoke lightly.

"its not right."

"Yan Maoqing has been dead for a long time. What does he have to do with what is happening now?"

Yan Shaoting glanced at Lao Zhang sideways.

Wang Xijue couldn't help but whispered, "Mr. Zhang, although Yan Maoqing died at that time, the imperial court also vacated the post of Lianghuai Salt Transport Commissioner."

After the young man's reminder, Zhang Juzheng's eyes finally brightened.

Then he looked at Yan Shaoting in disbelief.

"It's Sun Kehong, the former prefect of Hanyang and the new transport commissioner of Lianghuai Salt Administration!"

Zhang Juzheng was shocked and surprised, muttering to himself: "Sun Kehong is also from Songjiang Prefecture, how could I forget this! But he was promoted from the prefect of Hanyang to the transport commissioner of the Lianghuai Salt Administration. I remember it was recommended by Lord Yan. The Yan family did recommend him, but if this is the case..."

This matter is a little different.

Zhang Juzheng couldn't help but frown and began to think carefully.

Yan Shaoting smiled and said softly, "Brother Uncle, are you wondering why Sun Kehong was originally just the prefect of Hanyang, but was suddenly recommended by my family to be promoted to the Transport Commissioner of Lianghuai Salt Administration? He should be my family's follower. Why is he related to the Xu family? If there is something wrong with Sun Kehong, my family is the one who recommended him, so we must have made the mistake of recommending the wrong person."

Zhang Juzheng, who was thinking about this matter, immediately nodded to show his agreement.

Yan Shaoting smiled and said, "In fact, the reason why my grandfather recommended Sun Kehong to be the Lianghuai Salt Commissioner was because my grandfather and I recommended him. It was just a casual chess piece, and we valued him because he was also from Songjiang Prefecture. If he is not involved in the Xu family's affairs and is good at governing, he may be given a position as a great minister in the future. But if he has something to do with the Xu family, or he is a hypocrite. Although my family recommended him, we can also enforce the law impartially and impeach him in court."

Zhang Juzheng blinked and moved his mouth.

But when he looked at Yan Shaoting again, there was clearly something unspeakable in his eyes.

After a while.

Zhang Juzheng then whispered, "Yes...Yes! Now that Lord Yan is still the Prime Minister, and Runwu's father is also in charge of the Ministry of Justice as the Left Vice Minister, even if your family recommended Sun Kehong, your father can also impeach him to sever the relationship with your family."

Yan Shaoting didn't say much.

After all, when he made the move to take on Sun Kehong, he did not expect that the old Taoist priest would hand over the Ministry of Justice to Yan Shifan.

But since Zhang Juzheng thinks so, let him think whatever he wants.

Zhang Juzheng said, "So, Zhu Qi and Qi Dazhu are not going to Songjiang Prefecture, but heading north to Yangzhou Prefecture. Calculating the time... I'm afraid they have already arrested Sun Kehong and are escorting him back to Beijing."

Yan Shaoting also calculated the time in his mind, then nodded and said, "If I'm not mistaken, Sun Kehong has already been captured by Zhu Qi and his men by now, and he will be able to enter the capital in the first month of the new year."

Zhang Juzheng smacked his lips and said in confusion, "But I still don't understand, how can you, Zhu Qi, Qi Dazhu and others take down Sun Kehong? Do you have any evidence of his connection with the Xu family?"

Yan Shaoting was unwilling to explain further to Zhang Juzheng.

He smiled slightly: "Brother Uncle, as long as the goal can be achieved, there is no need to ask about the process."

Zhang Juzheng snorted twice: "You won't do anything to me, will you? If you and I have a dispute in the future, will you be able to suddenly pick up your pen and suppress me?"

The more he couldn't figure it out, the more Zhang Juzheng couldn't see through Yan Shaoting. He became more and more wary of the depth of his planning and more worried about the future.

This was a frank and honest question to Zhang Juzheng.

Yan Shaoting chuckled and glanced at his students.

Then he smiled, put his hands behind his back, and walked downstairs.

Zhang Juzheng was anxious and asked again: "Please tell me clearly, you didn't really do anything to me!"

However, Yan Shaoting did not even turn his head.

But not long after, the voice reached Zhang Juzheng's ears.

"My uncle has been known as a child prodigy since he was young."

"You can guess what I will do to my uncle."
