Chapter 316 A Clash with Yin Hongzhi

"Yin Hongzhi?"

"Yes."

Wei Shuyu frowned involuntarily.

Yin Hongzhi's background is quite impressive...

His elder sister was one of Li Shimin's favorite concubines, Consort Yin.

And the son born to Consort Yin was Li You!

but……

Even the Crown Prince and the King of Wei in our Wei family can criticize each other without hesitation.

Why would they care about someone from the Yin family?

"Magistrate Wang."

Wei Shuyu suddenly shouted.

In the distance, Wang Gui, who was flattering various officials, heard this.

I was suddenly jolted awake.

He jogged to the private room.

"What are your orders, Physician Wei?" Magistrate Wang asked obsequiously.

"Summon all yamen runners!"

Wei Shuyu issued the order with a stern face.

"ah?"

Wang Gui was stunned: "Doctor Wei, what exactly happened?"

Um?

Wei Shuyu squinted at Magistrate Wang.

Magistrate Wang immediately realized that he had been too talkative and had asked something he shouldn't have.

"Please forgive me, Physician Wei, I will make the arrangements immediately."

The words were spoken.

Magistrate Wang left in a hurry.

Wei Shuyu tapped the table rhythmically with his knuckles.

After a moment's thought, he approached the assembled officials...

"All officials of the Ministry of Commerce, return to Chang'an!"

What?

All the officials were stunned.

We've only just arrived in Hu County, and we've only drunk half the wine, and we're already heading back to Chang'an?

"What? Is there a problem?"

Wei Shuyu asked with a cold face.

"I will obey the order of Physician Wei."

Everyone stood up to return the greeting.

Every day is spent on the road.

Chang'an.

The underworld.

Wei Shuyu arrived at the door with over a hundred men, looking very aggressive.

"stop!"

The gatekeeper was horrified to see Wei Shuyu and his group, but still dutifully stopped them: "This is the Yin family. Do you intend to force your way in?"

"Magistrate Wang, order your men to surround the Underworld and not let a single person escape!"

Wang Gui's head was about to explode.

He never imagined that Wei Shuyu would send him to besiege the Yin Mansion.

This is Yin Hongzhi's residence.

In the imperial court, he was someone who could rival Changsun Wuji.

"What? Do I have to say it a second time?"

Even though Wei Shuyu urged him on.

Wang Gui still dared not make a move...

He simply couldn't bear the consequences.

"Doctor Wei, isn't this a bad idea?"

Just then, an official stepped forward and said, "Minister Yin is a fourth-rank official, and his sister is none other than Consort Yin..."

"Shut up."

Before he could finish speaking, Wei Shuyu interrupted him sharply: "Are you questioning my orders?"

"no."

The official shook his head repeatedly: "I just feel that doing this is inappropriate."

"Then step back!"

Wei Shuyu, with a stern face, reprimanded again.

"Dr. Wei, you're being so stubborn..."

Seeing that the official was rambling on and on, Wei Shuyu immediately interrupted him...

"Effective immediately, you are dismissed from your post."

Swish.

The official's expression changed drastically.

"you……"

He pointed at Wei Shuyu and scolded him, "I am an official appointed by the Ministry of Personnel. You have no right to dismiss me."

"Then go and tell the Ministry of Personnel!"

Wei Shuyu rebuked him mercilessly, saying, "There is no place for you in my Ministry of Commerce."

“You have abused your power. I will report this to His Majesty and impeach you,” the official replied unwillingly.

Um?

Threatening me?

Wei Shuyu turned to look at the two...

"Who brought this? Throw it back at them!"

The two looked at each other.

That's ridiculous...

Is it worthwhile for us to learn about this small carambola?

"superior!"

Who cares whose side he is...

Anyone who dares to defy the government will be punished.

"Young Master Shenji..."

The official trembled: "My rank is higher than yours; hitting me is a serious crime."

"So what if I hit you? You want to hit me back?" Choi Shin-ki cursed.

“See this? A sack, bestowed by the emperor…” Fang Yi’ai pulled out the imperial sack.

He got a good beating.

The officials dared not run away, nor did they dare to fight back.

Upon seeing this, the other officials immediately abandoned any thoughts of taking the lead.

"Wang Gui?"

Wei Shuyu looked at Magistrate Wang again.

Well……

Magistrate Wang felt a chill run down his spine.

It seems... we can't afford the consequences.

never mind.

Let's get through this first...

"Men, surround the Underworld!"

Splash!

As soon as Magistrate Wang finished speaking, the yamen runners surrounded the underworld.

"Search the entire residence!"

Wei Shuyu waved his hand.

The constables rushed in.

However, they encountered fierce resistance from the underworld.

Dozens of guards carrying swords emerged from the underworld, glaring menacingly at Wei Shuyu and the others.

"The Yin family isn't a place you can just search whenever you want!"

A steward-like man stepped forward and looked at Wei Shuyu: "I wondered who had such an official air about them. It turns out to be the recently popular Physician Wei."

"Get out of the way!"

Wei Shuyu, with a stern face, shouted: "Anyone who dares to resist will be punished for treason!"

These words startled many people in the underworld.

Perhaps they are not afraid under normal circumstances.

But Wei Shuyu brought about twenty officials of ranks six to nine, and everyone was afraid of him.

If you accidentally cut someone.

I guess I'll spend my next life in prison...

"Wait!"

The steward's expression was grave, but with the master absent, he had to maintain order: "Doctor Wei, may I ask what crime the Yin Mansion has committed?"

"Do I, as the Minister of Commerce, need to explain my actions to a mere steward like you?"

Wei Shuyu ignored them completely and waved his hand: "Search! Anyone who resists will be killed without mercy!"

"Who dares?"

The steward stepped forward again: "Physician Wei, even if you want to search the Underworld, do you have a search warrant from the Ministry of Justice?"

"Our Ministry of Commerce is not under the jurisdiction of other departments..."

Wei Shuyu said in a deep voice, "If you have any objections, have Yin Hongzhi go to His Majesty to impeach me!"

Let the master impeach him?

If you were to search the mansion, I would lose all face.

What's the point of impeachment?

The butler and his men refused to budge an inch...

"Obstructing the government from handling a case?"

Wei Shuyu's eyes narrowed: "Men, drag him away and give him thirty strokes of the cane!"

"Wei Shuyu!"

The steward pointed at Wei Shuyu and the others, threatening, "When the master returns, he'll make you pay!"

"superior!"

Wei Shuyu didn't want to say any more.

With a wave of his hand, the constables stepped forward with their knives.

Before long, a conflict actually broke out.

Several people were also injured...

Magistrate Wang's legs were trembling.

His own men killed the people of the underworld.

What sins have I committed to become the magistrate of Hu County?

"stop!"

Just then, a furious roar rang in my ears.

A middle-aged man dressed in official robes was seen walking briskly towards them.

Behind him followed a squad of soldiers!

It was Yin Hongzhi.

"Wei Shuyu, who gave you the audacity to search my residence?"

Yin Hongzhi's face was extremely ugly.

The fact that his residence was forcibly searched was a slap in the face to Yin Hongzhi.

"The Ministry of Commerce acts without needing to explain itself to anyone!"

Wei Shuyu's expression remained unchanged: "If you have any objections, you can go to His Majesty and impeach me!"

"very good……"

Yin Hongzhi's face was frighteningly gloomy.

With a wave of his hand, he ordered, "Arrest Wei Shuyu and his entire gang."

Splash!

As soon as he finished speaking, the soldiers behind him dispersed and surrounded Wei Shuyu and the others.

Now.

The constables chickened out.

Even when facing the guards, the constables dared to fight for a few rounds.

Facing the soldiers, there was no suspense whatsoever.

"Who dares to harm Physician Wei!"

Just then, seven or eight merchants suddenly emerged from Chang'an Street.

The leader was a burly man with a dark complexion and a strong build.

"Fu Cheng has met with Physician Wei."

Fu Cheng?

Wei Shuyu frowned.

I feel like I've heard that somewhere before?

"Mr. Wei, a man of high status, has a forgetful mind."

Fu Cheng smiled and said, "Back when we were merchants, we were bullied by foreign powers. Please ask Physician Wei to report this to His Majesty!"

Wei Shuyu remembered.

It was this man who inspired the idea of ​​reopening the Silk Road.

"Oh, it's you."

Wei Shuyu waved his hand: "Go back, all of you. This is not something a group of merchants like you can interfere with."

"Doctor Wei, do not underestimate merchants."

Fu Cheng's lips curled into a smile: "I am not very talented, but I have a little bit of prestige among merchants."

Although he did not know what the court was planning, Wei Shuyu was concerned about the Silk Road.

He did indeed start criticizing the court.

Furthermore, they also sent envoys to foreign lands...

This feeling must be cherished!

"you……"

Wei Shuyu wanted to offer a few more words of advice.

Fu Cheng whistled.

A large number of merchants suddenly emerged from Chang'an Street.

A large group of peasants followed behind him.

Everyone was carrying weapons such as carrying poles and wooden sticks.

A rough count suggests there are at least several hundred people...

Holy crap.

Wei Shuyu was startled.

Is this what you mean by having some prestige?

Do you know that you have hidden this power in Chang'an?
