Chapter 21 Jinyiwei
Before the long-haired old man could react to what was happening, the courtyard door was slammed open, and hundreds of big men swarmed in, and they pressed several scribes to the ground without saying anything, and more big men quickly took control of the small courtyard and began to rummage around in the courtyard, and the originally quiet small courtyard suddenly became a mess.
At this time, a big man wearing a beige flying fish suit and wearing an embroidered spring knife at his waist walked in from outside the door, this person was tall and strong, with one hand on the handle of the embroidered spring knife at his waist, and walked in with Shi Shiran.
When the long-haired old man saw the arrival, he immediately shouted in surprise: "Lord Wu, what are you kidding, you don't know me?" I am" Before the old man's words could speak, Lord Wu's face sank, and he shouted: "King Min's remnants resisted arrest, resisted desperately, and killed!" ”
With Lord Wu's words, the big men who were pressing several scribes each pulled out their waist knives with a cruel smile and stabbed into the bodies of the scribes under him, and the poor scribes who were loyal to King Wen were even covered by their mouths with screams, and swallowed their last breath silently.
Sure that several of the scribes had died, the men skillfully lifted their corpses and soon put on a scene of being besieged for resistance, and even a sword was stuffed into the hands of each scribe.
Lord Wu saw that there were no flaws at the scene, so he nodded, and instructed the big men present: "Go and collect these rebellious letters, don't keep those that are unsightly, so as not to be seen by others, and destroy those that should be destroyed." ”
Hearing his subordinates' promise, Lord Wu smiled proudly, turned around and left the courtyard with eight steps.
Not long after Wu Fan had just finished dinner, Wang Chengen hurriedly came to Wu Fan's side: "Your Majesty, there was a sudden shouting of killing in the city, it seems that Lord Fan encountered resistance when they were acting against the anti-king Zhu Youlin's subordinates, and the old minister had already ordered the palace guards to block the palace, and it was estimated that Zhu Youlin's strength in the capital was not much, at most, he had gathered some deserters, and he could not threaten the palace." At this time, Lord Fan must have blocked the gate of the capital and began to search all over the city, and the old minister was worried that Li Zicheng would not be inadvertently caught by Lord Fan? ”
Wu Fan was stunned for a moment, and then remembered that Li Zicheng didn't know if he had left the city at this time, if he hadn't left the capital as Wang Chengen said, then there was really a possibility that Fan Jingwen had inadvertently caught him. However, Wu Fan quickly denied this idea, if Li Zicheng couldn't even avoid this difficulty, he would not be able to be called the world's number one thief.
Wu Fan shook his head and denied Wang Chengen's statement, and began to ask Fan Jingwen about the details of his actions, but Wang Chengen blocked the palace as soon as he received a report from the guards and found that there was a shout of killing in the capital, so at this time, there were only a few people left who could enter the palace, such as Fan Jingwen, but at this time, Fan Jingwen was presiding over the arrest of King Min's subordinates, and it was impossible for him to come to report the news, so Wang Chengen knew nothing about this matter.
Wu Fan didn't get accurate information, and he refused to go to sleep, so he sat with Wang Chengen and chatted, while also waiting for Fan Jingwen to send the news of the operation earlier.
Waiting until about half past eleven in the middle of the night, the guards came to report to Fan Jingwen to ask to see him, Wang Chengen hurriedly ran out to pick up Fan Jingwen, Wu Fan was a little nervous and walked around the house, and he didn't know what the result of Fan Jingwen's operation was.
After hearing Fan Jingwen's report, Wu Fan figured out why there was such a big commotion.
It turned out that when Fan Jingwen mobilized his troops and horses to arrest the subordinates of King Wen in the capital, he suddenly found that under the cover of night, there seemed to be a figure of unknown origin moving.
So he sent someone to investigate in detail, but it caused a sudden battle, Fan Jingwen immediately commanded the soldiers who were ready to attack and began to attack, because it was a night battle, and Fan Jingwen's strength was obviously far superior to the other party, so Fan Jingwen ordered the soldiers who did not need to fight on the periphery for the time being to light torches, making Yanjing City as bright as day for a while, and the light of the torches illuminated half of the sky.
This is also the fire that the black-faced scribe Song Chengyi saw in the courtyard, but it was not the fire that they set fire to the city, but the fire released by the torches used by the soldiers under Fan Jingwen's command to illuminate.
After Fan Jingwen commanded the soldiers to defeat and capture all the unknown armed forces, he knew the origin and purpose of these people after a little interrogation, and these people turned out to be the same as the emperor said, they were the deserters of the large battalion recruited by several so-called scribes arranged by King Wen in Beijing, and the purpose was actually to prepare to burn Yanjing City tonight in order to create chaos. Fan Jingwen, who learned the true situation, was furious and immediately ordered the arrest to begin.
Wu Fan was immediately relieved when he heard this, this Fan Jingwen's ability to do things can still be reassured, it seems that at least the hidden danger that King Min has placed in the capital can be eliminated. Unexpectedly, Fan Jingwen's next words made Wu Fan almost jump up from the chair, because Fan Jingwen mentioned a term that Wu Fan was very familiar with but never remembered.
Fan Jingwen mentions Jinyiwei in the following narrative.
When Fan Jingwen went to arrest people according to the address of Song Chengyi and others, he only saw a few vacant rooms, and the owner of the room had disappeared for some time. Just when Fan Jingwen was furious because he failed to catch people, fortunately, Wu Yunming, the commander of Jinyiwei, led the captain of Jinyiwei to find the small courtyard where these people were hiding, but unfortunately he couldn't capture them alive, these people seemed to be dead soldiers, and they were killed by the captain of Jinyiwei one by one in the process of stubbornly resisting arrest.
The most regrettable thing is that they did not find any correspondence with King Wen from the materials they kept, that is to say, there is no evidence that King Min ordered them, and at most they can convict King Min of being lax because there are rebels among his subordinates, but they cannot convict King Min of rebellion, because there is no evidence that King Min was involved in this matter.
Wu Fan didn't have the heart to care about what kind of crime King Min would convict, because all his thoughts were attracted by the three words Jinyiwei, Jinyiwei, in Wu Fan's heart, this is almost a legend, because in his little historical knowledge, there seems to be no organization that can have the same notoriety as Jinyiwei, in the film and television dramas that Wu Fan saw, as long as Jinyiwei is mentioned, what people think of must be a guy who is so bad that he has sores on the top of his head and pus on the soles of his feet, what oppresses the people, what cruelties to Zhongliang, what wanton killing, In short, there is no good person in the brocade guard.
However, although Jinyiwei's reputation is so stinky, it is impossible to have the shadow of Jinyiwei in any film and television drama involving the Ming Dynasty, and even in Wu Fan's memory, it seems that any major event that happened in the Ming Dynasty is related to Jinyiwei.
Of course, Wu Fan also knows that the historical knowledge he got from film and television dramas is almost all wrong, at least most of it is wrong, but the problem is that Wu Fan is not a history major, and the source of his historical knowledge is almost film and television dramas. Therefore, Wu Fan's impression of Jinyiwei is quite profound, in Wu Fan's heart, Jinyiwei is about synonymous with villains, and Jinyiwei also represents mystery and strength.
Although Wu Fan thinks that Jinyiwei is not a good person, it does not mean that Wu Fan hates Jinyiwei, in fact, on the contrary, Wu Fan once had a dream when he was a child, that is, he guarded several Jinyiwei with brocade clothes and knives behind him, swaggering through the market, bullying whoever he wants, flirting whoever he wants, taking things without spending money, and eating without paying for food, that is the ultimate wonderful good thing.
Although this absurd dream gradually faded out of Wu Fan's mind as he grew older, he never forgot the idea of having a few brocade guards as guards. At this time, Fan Jingwen mentioned Jinyiwei, and it reminded Wu Fan of a childhood dream that he hadn't remembered for a long time, and the mysterious Jinyiwei appeared in Wu Fan's mind again.
After Fan Jingwen's report was completed, Wu Fan kicked Fan Jingwen and Wang Chengen out of the dormitory on the grounds of fatigue. In fact, how could Wu Fan be able to sleep at this time, and after no one was there, Wu Fan took out his mobile phone and began to search for Jinyiwei. I don't know if I don't search, after reading the information in the system, Wu Fan understands why he has replaced Chongzhen for several days, and he didn't hear about Jinyiwei for the first time until today.
Jinyiwei's full name is "Jinyi's pro-army command envoy", which is the exclusive military and political spy agency of the Ming Dynasty.
It was first established by Zhu Yuanzhang, and its main function was to monitor the imperial relatives and civil and military ministers of the Ming Dynasty, preventing them from privately carrying out activities unfavorable to the Ming Dynasty, and also participating in the work of collecting military intelligence and plotting against enemy generals.
Jin Yiwei directly obeyed the emperor's orders, and completely read the sequence of civil and military ministers of the imperial court, which can be said to be a public spy agency belonging to the private emperor of the Ming Dynasty. It can be said that in the Ming Dynasty, Jinyiwei has always been a powerful and angry and fearful dog belonging to the emperor, and has made many great contributions to the rule of the Ming Emperor.
In order to prevent the tail of the Jinyi Guard, the emperors of the Ming Dynasty successively set up the East Factory, the West Factory, the Great Inner Factory and other institutions to supervise or partially replace the functions of the Jinyi Guard, which led to the Ming Dynasty almost becoming a spy politics.
Later, during the reign of Emperor Zhengde of the Ming Dynasty, the west factory and the inner factory were revoked, leaving only the two spy agencies of the east factory and Jinyiwei, and in the hands of Chongzhen, even the east factory was revoked, leaving only the secret agency of Jinyiwei.
Although only the Jinyiwei family remains, because Chongzhen's surname is irritable, he will wantonly kill ministers at every turn, so during the Chongzhen years, because Chongzhen was considered unfavorable several times, he killed some of the upper echelons of Jinyiwei, so that Jinyiwei's power was reduced to the smallest since its establishment, which is also the reason why Wu Fan has not heard news related to Jinyiwei.
Seeing this, Wu Fan couldn't sleep even more, Chongzhen didn't like Jinyiwei, but Wu Fan liked it, or would it make it clear whether there were martial arts masters in Jinyiwei, so how could Wu Fan sleep.
Wu Fan put away his mobile phone, sat up from the dragon bed, called Wang Chengen in, and prepared to learn about the situation of Jinyiwei before going to bed. But Wu Fan didn't expect that it was such a sudden move by him that made his sleep tonight a luxury.
