Although Cui Yingyuan looked like "I am very kind" and the smile on his face looked so sunny, no one dared to underestimate his words.
What he said made people feel cold to the bone, and no one thought he was a kind person.
Walking up to Fan Yongdou, Cui Yingyuan lowered his head and said, "Do you think what I said is true?"
Even if one had never seen the reputation of the Jinyiwei, they had heard of it. These people had no bottom line and what they said was basically true. If you fell into their hands, there was basically no room for improvement.
"You can't do this! The Ming Dynasty has laws!" Fan Yongdou looked at Cui Yingyuan and said strugglingly.
However, he was held by two Jinyiwei, so his struggle was in vain.
Fan Yongdou looked at Cui Yingyuan angrily, his face very ferocious as he said, "I didn't do anything, why are you doing this to me?"
After hearing this, Cui Yingyuan immediately laughed, looking very arrogant.
After a while, Cui Yingyuan said, "I didn't expect you to say such naive words. When we, the Jinyiwei, arrest people, when do we care about what you do or don't do? You are so stupid! I don't want to waste time talking to you. Come, take him away."
The Jinyiwei around Cui Yingyuan immediately took action and directly escorted Fan Yongdou out.
As for Fan Yongdou's family, they were naturally detained here; it was impossible to move them all to the prison. Keeping them in custody was the best approach. Moving them would only lead to problems.
If they could station a team of Jinyiwei at the Fan family's house and prevent anyone from entering, the place would be very safe. For Cui Yingyuan, this was not a difficult task.
A group of Jinyiwei took Fan Yongdou and several key members of the Fan family away.
As soon as the news of Fan Yongdou's arrest and the Fan family's house being ransacked came out, the whole of Zhangjiakou was in chaos.
Everyone in Zhangjiakou knows Fan Yongdou's identity. The Fan family has been operating in Zhangjiakou for generations, and it can be said that they are deeply rooted and have a strong foundation here.
How could such a person be arrested by the Jinyiwei? How could this not cause an uproar?
Especially those who were doing the same business as Fan Yongdou were naturally panicked at this time; those who were doing business with Fan Yongdou were even more panicked.
For a while, the whole Zhangjiakou was in panic. Many people ran back to pack up their things and prepare to escape; some even ran to the government to file a complaint, hoping for a result.
Zhangjiakou used to be a simple military fortress. After the peaceful trade with the northern border, Zhangjiakou developed from a simple military fortress into a border city combining garrison and trade.
Before the Jiajing period, there was no city gate on the north side, and it was mainly used for defense. During the Jiajing period, a small opening was opened on the north city gate. This small gate was very small, so it was called Zhangjiakou.
Zhangjiakou was a major town in the northern border region, administratively under the jurisdiction of the capital. Naturally, it was impossible for such a place to have a complete administrative structure, and there was no county government.
Since a few years ago, Zhangjiakou's status has become increasingly important, which is why the county government was established.
However, compared to county offices in other places, the status of Zhangjiakou's county office was much lower. After all, Zhangjiakou was a military settlement city, and the generals with military power still had the final say, while the status of civil officials was lower.
The real master of the house is a commander of the garrison stationed in Zhangjiakou. The current master is called Chen Zhong, a general in his forties.
After hearing that the Jinyiwei had caused trouble at the Fan family, all the civil and military officials in Zhangjiakou were mobilized.
Especially those military generals, they felt even less confident.
You have to know that the Jinyiwei arrested Fan Yongdou. Over the years, Fan Yongdou has been engaged in smuggling trade in Zhangjiakou, and these generals have made a lot of money from it.
Not to mention smuggling trade, even just pure trade, these people can make a lot of money from it every year.
Originally everyone was a little wary, but Zhangjiakou had been peaceful for decades and no one took these things seriously.
Now that Fan Yongdou was suddenly arrested, people are naturally panicking.
Zhu Youxiao didn't care about these things. Zhangjiakou was so small that if the small gate on the north was blocked, no one could go out and the place would become a dead city.
Zhu Youxiao had already sent people to seal off the city, so he was not worried that anyone would be able to get out.
Looking at Fan Yongdou in front of him, Zhu Youxiao sat on the chair with a smile on his face. He didn't say a word even though Fan Yongdou was shouting at him.
At this point, Wei Chao couldn't stand it any longer and walked right up to Fan Yongdou, saying with a smile, "I never thought we'd meet again. Mr. Fan, could you please shut up? You're making so much noise right now, it's keeping our young master from getting any rest."
Fan Yongdou glanced at Wei Chao with an ugly expression on his face.
Looking up at Zhu Youxiao, Fan Yongdou said, "How dare you arrest me like this! Do you know what you are doing? I will find someone to impeach you! You are so audacious!"
Wei Chao glanced at Fan Yongdou, snorted coldly, and said, "You're so rude. Come, take him away and give him twenty slaps on the face."
After hearing this, the two Jinyiwei who were escorting Fan Yongdou looked up and found that no one spoke to stop them, and Eunuch Chen Hong even nodded.
The two Jinyiwei were naturally not polite and directly pulled Fan Yongdou away, and there were "bang bang bang" sounds.
Fan Yongdou cried out in pain, but it was of no use.
At this time, in another place in the city.
Zhang Chun stood at the door of the inn with a serious expression on his face.
