Chapter 1089 Catching people

The middle-aged woman looked gentle and said, "It's been so many years, and she still cares about what it does. Besides, aren't we living a good life now? Although you don't have any real power at hand, everyone knows that you have some in-laws and relationships with Lord Zhang, and you also sell us a little bit of face on weekdays."

"Not to mention the local area, I came to my hometown last month, saying that the magistrate of our hometown ordered that all your ancestral tombs were renovated. In your county town, you, a Beijing official, will be honored to follow you."

"Aren't these all good?"

Meng Bingwen groaned and said, "You don't understand. In the local area, things are just local government affairs and relationships. I can always grasp the coming and going, but in the capital, a little turbulence is caused, for me, a huge wave that can make me crushed to pieces."

Hearing helplessness and fear from her husband's words, the middle-aged woman asked hurriedly: "But what happened today? I was worried all day long. I only felt at ease when I came back, but are there any recurrences now?"

Meng Bingwen was about to speak, but a hurried knock came from outside the door.

The knock on the door came suddenly and violently, which shocked Meng Bingwen, who was already restless.

Before he could speak, the housekeeper immediately appeared and ran to open the door.

The housekeeper, who didn't know what happened, was still holding the airs of the right assistant minister of the Ministry of Rites, opened the door with a dark face and said, "Who is who? Do you understand the rules? You knock on the door like this in the middle of the night, but you are asking for trouble? Do you know whose house this is..."

Before he could finish his words, a signature embroidered sword pushed him in against his neck.

Immediately afterwards, a team of Jinyiwei rushed in.

Their division of labor was clear, and several people surrounded Meng Bingwen and his wife. The others immediately searched all the rooms in the entire mansion and brought out the people found inside one by one.

Meng Bingwen suddenly stood up, his heart sinking into the bottom of the valley, but his face still pretended to be calm and shouted: "What are you going to do!?"

"I am the right minister of the Ministry of Rites of the current dynasty. Do you dare to break into this official's mansion with weapons? No one wants to live anymore?"

No one paid attention to him in the Jinyiwei.

A centurion walked out, wearing a hat, and the rain hanged down the brim of the hat like a bead curtain. His ordinary face was filled with coldness, and he said, "You are the right minister of the Ministry of Rites."

"Don't be unbalanced. I've been here all the way, and I've arrested more officials than you and have more noisy than you. In the end, I'll be taken away by me honestly. So I advise you to resist less. The superiors have given death orders. Once you resist, you will kill them. If you are the one who will harm your family, you will be miserable, and you will not be the other person."

The centurion's words made Meng Bingwen press down on his resentment and bitterness in an instant.

He looked at his wife who was so scared that she was driven out and was at a loss, and said to the centurion almost begging: "Can I let my family have a way out?"

The centurion sneered and said, "I am only responsible for arresting people. I am ordered to arrest you and seize your mansion. Everyone is allowed to enter and not leave. As for whether your family can escape this disaster, I cannot make a decision."
