Take the warehouse back to the end of the Ming Dynasty

An official stood in front of Chen Lin, holding an imperial decree in his hand, and reading it aloud.

The general content of the imperial decree is that within the scope permitted by the law, no matter what method is used, the affairs of Taiyuan Mansion must be investigated in the shortest possible time.

Chen Lin knelt on the ground, listening to the official's reading, an expression of excitement began to appear on his face.

When Chen Lin was here before, although Zhao Wen told Chen Lin that no matter what method he used, he must investigate all the affairs of Taiyuan Mansion in the shortest time, but Zhao Wen did not give any information about that incident. Chen Lin imperial decree.

Regardless of whether there is an imperial decree or not, the difference here is not small.

Without the imperial decree, Chen Lin would not dare to go too far in certain things. With the imperial decree, as long as things are not too excessive, everything is easy to say.

After the officials finished reading the contents of the imperial decree, Chen Lin respectfully kowtowed several times to the imperial decree, "Chen Lin, welcome the imperial decree!"

Chen Lin raised his hands high.

The official closed the imperial decree in his hand and put it in Chen Lin's hand.

"Lord Chen, don't disappoint His Majesty's expectations!" the official said to Chen Lin.

Chen Lin stood up and said: "This is for sure, I will definitely finish the affairs of Taiyuan Mansion in the shortest time, so that His Majesty won't worry!"

"Since that's the case, Mr. Chen should do his job well. I won't say anything else, I'll go back first!" The official turned and left after speaking.

"Wouldn't your lord have something to eat and drink?" Chen Lin said politely.

The official turned around and said to Chen Lin: "Master Chen, you should hurry up and do what His Majesty told you. I still have something to do, so I won't stay!"

After speaking, the official walked away into the distance, as if he didn't want to stay for a quarter of an hour.

After the official's back completely disappeared, Chen Lin withdrew his gaze and his face became gloomy.

"Did the man from Zhai Dafu catch him?" Chen Lin turned around and looked at Xie Yan who was standing behind him.

Xie Yan nodded, "My lord, I caught it, and I'm being held in a secret place now. Just now, my subordinates were going to notify you, but the lord who announced the decree came!"

Hearing this, Chen Lin finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"After I put away the imperial decree, take me to meet Zhai Dafu!" Chen Lin said as he walked towards the yamen,

After Chen Lin stored the imperial decree, he followed Xie Yan and walked outside.

Chapter 804

"My lord, after we captured Zhai Dafu, he was placed in a very secret place in the city. I have already arranged for people to keep an eye on him." Xie Yan said as she walked forward.

Chen Lin's eyes were full of ferocious light, "This Zhai Dafu, after meeting him, you must show him some color. Before that, he has been dangling in front of us, like a person who has nothing to do. People play like fools!"

Chen Lin said aggressively.

Before, Chen Lin didn't think there was anything wrong with Zhai Dafu, but now, Chen Lin was [-]% sure that there was a big problem with Zhai Dafu.

Chen Lin said that he wanted to investigate Zhai Dafu, but Zhai Dafu ran away with his whole family.

If there is no tricks in it, then there will be no tricks in the world.

When Chen Lin mentioned Zhai Dafu, he felt very uncomfortable and very upset.

This Zhai Dafu is the deputy head of the Dianqian Department of Taiyuan Mansion and Li Chenglin's deputy.

Earlier, Chen Lin didn't suspect Li Chenglin, so he didn't suspect Zhai Dafu either.

It is for this reason that Zhai Dafu often hangs around in front of Chen Lin, and even asks for news from Chen Lin on the sidelines.

Prompted by Feng Yu, Chen Lin set his sights on Li Chenglin and launched an investigation on Li Chenglin.

Li Chenglin's relatives have all run away, and they will not be found for a while. In addition, Li Chenglin's house has been burned to the ground, and nothing can be found for a while.

Therefore, Chen Lin set his sights on Li Chenglin's subordinates.

And this Zhai Dafu was naturally the first person Chen Lin investigated.

Before Chen Lin investigated him, somehow, the news leaked out, and this Zhai Dafu found out.

After finding out, Zhai Dafu ran away with his wife and children.

This time, Chen Lin was prepared. Not long after Zhai Dafu ran out, Xie Yan led his men to catch up and chased Zhai Dafu back.

Judging from the current situation, the entire Taiyuan Mansion is likely to have become a monolith. In order to prevent Zhai Dafu from being silenced by some people, Chen Lin asked Xie Yan to find a secret place in the city and lock Zhai Dafu there. .

Xie Yan led Chen Lin around the streets of Xuan Town. There were all kinds of hawking on the streets, and it looked like it was very lively.

Under this lively scene, I don't know how much darkness is hidden.

Xie Yan took Chen Lin to a very remote place. This place is located at the outermost edge of the old city.

"My lord, that's where it is!" Xie Yan walked on the rugged path, pointed to a dilapidated yard at the end of the path, and said.

Chen Lin looked in the direction of Xie Yan's finger, and saw a dilapidated courtyard appearing in front of Chen Lin.

The speed under Chen Lin's feet accelerated, and he walked towards the yard.

After ten or so breaths, Chen Lin walked into the yard.

There were seven or eight athletic men standing in the yard. When they saw Chen Lin walking in, they rushed to Chen Lin and saluted Chen Lin.

On the periphery of the courtyard, Xie Yan also arranged some secret guards. Seeing that it was Chen Lin, these people did not stop him.

"Where is he?" Chen Lin looked at Xie Yan who was following behind him.

"My lord, it's in the backyard!" Xie Yan pointed to the front.

Chen Lin walked towards the backyard.

When he came to the backyard, Chen Lin saw an obese middle-aged man tied to a pillar in the middle of the backyard.

The backyard is full of messy weeds. No one has lived here for a long time, so it is full of weeds.

The more weeds, the more mosquitoes.

Zhai Dafu's upper body was stripped to reveal the skin inside, which became the favorite place for mosquitoes and the food in their mouths.

The buzzing sound never stopped from the very beginning, and Zhai Dafu was surrounded by flying mosquitoes.

Several huge red envelopes appeared on Zhai Dafu's belly.

As his name suggests, Zhai Dafu is a real fat guy, and he doesn't know how this guy got into the position of deputy head of the front department.

Chen Lin looked at Zhai Dafu and walked straight over.

Chen Lin knew Zhai Dafu. He came to Zhai Dafu and looked at Zhai Dafu coldly.

Zhai Dafu's upper body was naked, and his whole body was tied behind his back to a pillar. The hemp rope strangled Zhai Dafu's body, leaving fat marks on his body.

Zhai Dafu looked at Chen Lin standing in front of him, his pupils kept shrinking, and his face was full of horror.

Zhai Dafu knew what he had done, looking at Chen Lin now, it was like seeing a cat and a mouse.

Chen Lin raised his right hand and punched Zhai Dafu in the stomach without saying a word.

For this punch, Chen Lin used almost all his strength.

Zhai Dafu howled in pain, and at the same time kept bending his head downward.

If he hadn't been tied up with a rope, Zhai Dafu would definitely be rolling on the ground.

"Hehe, do you know it hurts now?" Chen Lin sneered, then kicked Zhai Dafu's stomach again.

"Ow!"

Zhai Dafu screamed hysterically.

Chen Lin moved his wrist and looked at Zhai Dafu, "Zhai Dafu, Zhai Dafu, before, you pretended to be nothing, and played with us like monkeys, did you ever think that today will happen?!

Besides, I really don't understand, how can my front office have a fat head and big ears like you? "

In fact, Zhai Dafu didn't become so fat in a day. Zhai Dafu paid great attention to exercise before, and his body didn't lose shape.

However, ever since Li Chenglin changed his mind, Zhai Dafu also became depraved.

Over time, the body involuntarily becomes obese.

"I don't know anything, I don't know anything, don't ask me, I don't know anything!"

Before Chen Lin could ask, Zhai Dafu shook his head and screamed loudly.

Chen Lin kept patting Zhai Dafu's face with his right hand, and said viciously: "You don't know anything? I haven't asked you anything yet, so you don't know anything?"

Chen Lin turned around and looked at Xie Yan, "Have you checked out Zhai Dafu's family property?"

Xie Yan nodded and said: "The investigation is almost complete. There are more than 5 taels of silver in Zhai Dafu's family. In addition to these silver dollars, there are also a large number of house deeds. In the new city, Zhai Dafu has three houses. There are four shops."

"So many?!" Chen Lin was surprised.

Even though Chen Lin was already mentally prepared, he still didn't expect Zhai Dafu to have so much property.

"My lord, that's right, that's all. Before this Zhai Dafu ran away, he had already transferred all his family property outside the city. We found nothing in his house. After we caught him and questioned him, he transferred all his property to the outside of the city. He told me where his property is." Xie Yan replied.

Chen Lin turned sideways and stared at Zhai Dafu with a fierce look on his face, "In the Dianqian Division, the head of the Xuanzhen regiment is paid 50 taels of silver per month, and the head of the local regiment is 30 taels of silver per month. But more than 40 taels.

You, a small deputy head, have so much property, not to mention so many houses and shops?You are not corrupt, you are hugely greedy, you are hugely greedy.

The face of my front office has been completely lost by people like you, completely lost! "

The more Chen Lin spoke, the angrier he became, and the more he spoke, the angrier he became, and finally he pulled out the short knife from his waist and stabbed it in Zhai Dafu's right thigh.

"Pfft!"

The knife entered the fat, and blood flowed out along the knife.

"what!!!"

Zhai Dafu's screams became louder.

Chen Lin pulled out the knife, but the anger in his heart had not dissipated.

"The salary of the imperial court is far higher than that of the previous dynasty. It is not a problem for me and the people in front of the palace to support the whole family with monthly salary, but why do you have a scum like you? Say, where does your money come from? Who gave it to you?" Your money?" Chen Lin looked at Zhai Dafu coldly and asked loudly.

Zhai Dafu was trembling, and the wound on his thigh was bleeding continuously.

"I don't know, I don't know, I don't know." Zhai Dafu didn't say anything, but kept shaking his head.

"Hit me, hit me to death!" Seeing this, Chen Lin thought it was no nonsense, so he directly asked Xie Yan to do it.

Xie Yan rolled up her sleeves, took a whip from the hand behind her, walked up to Zhai Dafu, and waved it.

"Clap clap clap!"

The whip hit Zhai Dafu's body fiercely, and Zhai Dafu shouted hysterically.

Chen Lin took a few steps back, sat on the ground, and looked at him quietly.

At the same time, the mysterious house was full of people again.

Unlike the calmness before, these people were a little flustered this time.

The middle-aged man sat quietly in the main seat of the hall as usual.

However, unlike usual, his complexion was ugly, as if he had eaten a fly.

"Zhai Dafu was arrested by Chen Lin, what should we do now? How could Chen Lin investigate Zhai Dafu? And that Zhai Dafu, why did he run away? Didn't he be told not to run away before?

It was fine at first, but after running away, something happened. Why is this person so unbearable? "The middle-aged man said with an ugly face.

The middle-aged man also knew Zhai Dafu. In the past, the middle-aged man used Zhai Dafu to monitor people like Chen Lin.

When Chen Lin started to investigate Zhai Dafu, Zhai Dafu went to the middle-aged man and asked himself what to do.

The middle-aged man told him not to panic, but to be stable, and at the same time transfer his family property, send away all that can be sent away, and find a place to bury those who cannot be sent away.

But this Zhai Dafu's psychological quality is really bad. Before Chen Lin started to investigate him, he didn't know what to do. In a panic, he completely forgot the middle-aged man's warning, and took it with him. The family ran away.

If Zhai Dafu ran away, wouldn't he become 300 taels of silver here?If Chen Lin didn't arrest him, who else would he arrest?

Now that Zhai Dafu was caught by Chen Lin, the middle-aged people panicked for a moment, for fear that Zhai Dafu would implicate them.

Zhai Dafu is the deputy head of the Dianqian Department of Taiyuan Mansion, and he knows no less than Li Chenglin.

Previously, Chen Lin hadn't set his sights on Li Chenglin and other officials in front of the palace, so the middle-aged man was not worried.

However, now that the Taiyuan Mansion Dianqian Division has started to be investigated, the middle-aged people are also starting to worry.

Ma Feng, the head of the Household Department of Taiyuan Prefecture, stood in the hall. He stood up and said to the middle-aged man, "My lord, this Zhai Dafu has been captured by people like Chen Lin. In my opinion, we should now send him to the middle-aged man." Zhai Dafu's prisoner resisted finding him, and then sent people to kill Zhai Dafu! Only the dead can't speak, anyway, Li Chenglin is already dead, not bad for Zhai Dafu!"
