Chapter 98 East Factory Arrest
This Yu Maoheng is now valued by the emperor and is likely to be reused in the future.
There is no harm in being friendly with such a person.
Chen Hong was sizing up Yu Maoheng, and Yu Maoheng was also sizing up Chen Hong.
For Yu Maoheng, serving in the Metropolitan Procuratorate was not a comfortable experience. Who wants to be ostracized here?
He is an official who wants to do something, and he is wasting his time in the Metropolitan Procuratorate.
Rather than being squeezed out and wasting time here, he would rather do more things locally.
But there was no one in the court, so he had no way to move.
In Yu Maoheng's opinion, he should move soon, because the Donglin Party must take control of the place where he is.
His position as the censor of the right capital has been targeted for a long time.
He is also willing to trade his official position for a place where he can do practical things.
Everything was originally planned, but who would have thought that something like this would happen now?
This matter had little to do with him, and he was prepared to stay out of it until the matter subsided.
What he thought was that after the matter calmed down, he could seek employment and become an official in a local area.
The water in the capital city is too deep, and the next few years may not be peaceful, so I'd better get out as soon as possible.
Who would have thought that His Majesty's personal eunuch Chen Hong would actually come up to us at this time? Apparently nothing good happened.
Chen Hong was sizing up Yu Maoheng.
Yu Maoheng was also looking at Chen Hong.
He wanted to read something from the expression of His Majesty's personal eunuch.
It's a pity that Chen Hong just smiled and didn't see anything.
"I've met Eunuch Chen." Chen Hong bowed his hand to him, and Yu Maoheng didn't dare to neglect, and quickly returned the greeting with a smile.
At this special time, Yu Maoheng is really afraid that Chen Hong will slander him in front of His Majesty.
Once something happens, you may end up in a very miserable end.
Chen Hong quickly raised his hands and said: "You're welcome, Mr. Yu. Our family is here today because His Majesty wants to summon Mr. Yu. Please also ask Mr. Yu to tidy up and come to the palace with our family. Don't delay too long, Your Majesty.
Still waiting."
Yu Maoheng was stunned, His Majesty wanted to summon him?
He suddenly felt a little bitter in his heart.
Why did His Majesty summon me at this time?
I can't hide from these messy things, but I didn't expect that I would get involved now.
That part of my body is too sensitive. Once I get involved, it will be difficult to get out.
But Yu Maoheng also knows that this is His Majesty’s summons. How can you refuse?
Without the slightest hesitation, Yu Maoheng said directly: "Father-in-law, please wait a moment. I will make arrangements and then enter the palace with my father-in-law."
Chen Hong smiled and nodded, "Okay, our family will wait here for Mr. Yu."
Yu Maoheng did not waste too long, nor did he dare to waste time.
Because he knows that His Majesty must have something waiting for him. Although he is not willing to see His Majesty now, there is no other way.
Yu Maoheng even thought about it, how about delaying it a little and letting His Majesty use this as an excuse to belittle him?
But then he gave up because he knew his idea was too naive.
His Majesty wants to use you, do you have any room to hide?
Doing so will only offend His Majesty and will not bring any other benefit.
Do you want to be belittled? I guess in the end they will definitely not belittle you, but they will kill you.
Yu Maoheng and Chen Hong left the Metropolitan Procuratorate.
But the matter is far from over, and it can be said that it caused an uproar in the Metropolitan Procuratorate.
Your Majesty wants to summon Yu Maoheng.
Everyone knows that things are probably going to come to an end.
The opponents laughed in their hearts at this time.
Once Yu Maoheng is reused by His Majesty and succeeds in taking office, then it will be an opportunity for opponents like himself.
The members of the Donglin Party are in a state of panic all day long, as if they were bereaved. Is something really going to happen to the big bosses?
This suspicion did not last long. Shortly after Yu Maoheng left, an even more shocking news came.
Dongchang, which had been silent for a long time, finally took action. They dispatched four groups of people and started arresting people separately.
Among them, Wei Zhongxian, the official of the East Factory, personally led the team straight to the residence of Zou Yuanbiao, the censor of Zuodu of the Metropolitan Procuratorate.
The other three routes went to Yang Lian's residence, Liaodong Governor Yuan Yingtai's residence, and Guangning Governor Wang Huazhen's residence.
You must know that these four people are all high officials of the imperial court. Now that Dongchang has taken action against these four people, it can be seen that the action is huge and shocking.
For the Donglin Party members in the Metropolitan Procuratorate, it felt like the end was coming.
His Majesty just sent his personal eunuch to summon Yu Maoheng, and now Dongchang is directly arresting people everywhere. Obviously, the Donglin Party is going to be finished now.
At this time, many people had gathered in Zou Yuanbiao's mansion.
People watching the excitement naturally did not dare to approach the fans of Dongchang who were guarding the door, but this did not mean that they did not watch the excitement, they just hid very far away.
The fans from Dongchang had already surrounded the house, and a carriage quietly stopped at the gate under the protection of everyone.
A fan placed the pillars for getting off the car and gently raised the curtain.
Wei Zhongxian walked out of the car expressionlessly.
This time Dongchang divided into four groups to arrest people. Originally, Wei Zhongxian did not have to do it himself, but he still had to do it in person.
He wanted to see with his own eyes the miserable appearance of Zou Yuanbiao as a prisoner, and at the same time, he wanted to let everyone know that there would be no good consequences for offending him.
After stepping on the pillars and walking down with the support of his subordinates, Wei Zhongxian glanced at the closed door of the mansion and said expressionlessly: "Why don't you take action?"
Wei Zhongxian's confidant Sun Yunhe came up quickly and said respectfully: "I am waiting for my father-in-law's order."
After taking a look at Sun Yunhe, Wei Zhongxian nodded appreciatively, knowing how to do things.
He said expressionlessly: "Okay, since they won't open the door, then break the door open for us. If there is resistance, we will punish you on the spot!"
This time Wei Zhongxian is not afraid of making things worse, he just wants to establish his authority.
After hearing Wei Zhongxian's words, Sun Yunhe understood in his heart.
What do you mean the other party won't open the door? He didn't knock on the door at all, and his father-in-law didn't want him to knock on the door. He just wanted to smash the door of Zou Yuanbiao's house.
Naturally, Sun Yunhe did not dare to refute Wei Zhongxian's order, nor did he dare to question it in the slightest.
Waving his hand, Sun Yunhe said to the people around him: "Knock the door open."
Although there was no battering ram for siege, Dongchang came prepared.
Six or seven people hugged a thick wooden stake. After taking a few steps back, they suddenly accelerated and hit the door of Zou Yuanbiao's house.
Bang!
After a loud bang, the door of Zou Yuanbiao's house was knocked out of shape, but it was not knocked open.
The men retreated again, then accelerated forward suddenly, slamming the wooden stake against the door.
With a bang, the door was knocked down directly.
Instantly smoke and dust were everywhere.
Chapter completed!
