When Chen Tang heard Han Qi's words, he knew that this time the matter was successful.
As long as Han Qi agreed, then his chances of getting that position would increase greatly. After all, these businessmen were very powerful. Especially in these matters, they paid close attention.
The remaining operations can be done by the Han family. You know, among the Huizhou merchants, the Han family can be said to be very powerful. As long as they are willing, then this matter will be no problem.
"Okay, then I'll go to the Jinyiwei Yamen," Chen Tang stood up and said, "to see what's going on."
Han Qi smiled and nodded, saying, "Then wait for Mr. Chen's news. I'll take my leave now."
After saying that, Han Qi turned around and walked outside.
As he walked out the door, Han Qi's expression became serious.
After getting on the carriage, Han Qi directly ordered: "Drive the carriage to the intersection and don't leave yet."
"Yes, young master." The subordinate agreed and did as Han Qi instructed. He drove the carriage to the intersection and waited quietly.
Han Qi sat in the carriage, waiting quietly.
Han Qi didn't feel anything about Chen Tang running to the Jinyiwei Yamen this time, and he even had a bad premonition.
Mao Qiangguang disappeared and the eunuch Zhang Wei disappeared. The yamen was like a huge mouth that swallowed up everyone who entered.
The reason why Han Qi came to find Chen Tang was very simple. Chen Tang was the prefect of Yangzhou and a civil servant.
From a certain perspective, the Jinyiwei can investigate civil servants; but from another perspective, this is not possible.
So Han Qi asked Chen Tang to go just to see what the result would be. Would Chen Tang also disappear?
If Chentang also disappears, then things will be interesting.
In reality, Chen Tang's offer was excessive. Han Qi agreed because he had a hunch. Although he had no evidence, he felt his hunch would come true.
"Young master, Lord Chen has come out." The servant came to Han Qi and said.
Han Qi did not lift the carriage curtain, but directly said: "Send someone to follow him, and also send someone to guard the gate of the Jinyiwei Yamen to see when he comes out and see if anyone goes in."
"Yes, young master." The subordinate agreed and quickly sent someone to follow.
Han Qi's car left.
Chen Tang arrived at the gate of the Jinyiwei yamen in a sedan chair with an expressionless face. He was in a relaxed mood and did not think this was a difficult matter.
Even if it was Xu Xianchun, what could they do to him?
If that doesn't work, he'll just start a riot. After all, Yangzhou isn't a place where Jinyiwei can run wild. Who's going to have the final say then?
Isn’t it Chen Tang who has the final say?
With the cooperation of the Han family and others, he can do a lot more. When the time comes, as long as there is a commotion, what can the Jinyiwei do?
What would happen if Xu Xianchun was beaten to death in Yangzhou?
If Your Majesty had not arrived in Nanjing, why would we go through so much trouble?
The commotion had already begun. The Jinyiwei were arbitrarily arresting people and making random accusations. They had no idea what they were doing. This wasn't their case at all. If the public got angry, they could secretly find someone to kill Xu Xianchun. What would happen?
The emperor is far away, who can be sent to investigate? Who can find out the truth?
At that time, if all else fails, hand one person over and say that this person was the one who did it in secret.
Isn't it easy to find someone to take the blame? Who can stop me when my head is chopped off?
If you must conduct a serious investigation, then throw the person into prison. When the investigators arrive, the person will have caught a cold and died in prison. What can you do?
You can only accept your fate that you won’t find out anything!
As for these responsible officials, such as myself, at most they are not strict in governing and are not doing their job well, what else can be done?
Just demote him, but can he lose his official position?
Even if it was lost, what would happen? What would my reputation be among the common people? What would my reputation be among scholars?
Why do scholars praise it so much? Isn't it because it brings practical benefits?
What benefits will the salt merchants give to themselves?
There are so many benefits. So there is nothing to fear, no one to be afraid of. Your Majesty has seen Xu Xianchun so arrogant and domineering in Nanjing, so what else can he do when he is not in Nanjing?
Since the Wanli era, the imperial court had lost control over the people. Were there not enough eunuchs and imperial guards sent by the Wanli Emperor to be beaten to death? But what was the final outcome?
Isn't it still unresolved?
By that time, factions had already formed. While the local government was nominally under the Ming Dynasty, the real decision-makers were these merchants and scholars, and local officials began to form factions.
In the original history, what would have happened if Chongzhen replaced one minister and then another?
Everyone has the same ideas and the same way of doing things. What difference does it make whether you change or not?
If you kill one batch and the next batch is still the same, what can you do?
This is the case with Chen Tang in front of us. He is completely fearless.
Glancing at the Jinyiwei standing at the door, Chen Tang said directly, "Tell them to send the message in and tell them that I want to see Xu Xianchun."
"Yes, sir." The subordinate agreed and delivered the message directly.
Inside the Jinyiwei Yamen, Xu Xianchun also received the news.
Xu Xianchun looked at Chen Sheng, who was drinking tea, and said, "Eunuch Chen, what do you think we should do about this matter?"
Chen Sheng glanced at Xu Xianchun suspiciously and said, "Are you asking about our family?"
Xu Xianchun nodded and said with a smile, "Of course I'm asking Eunuch Chen."
