Yang Muyun was standing in the signing room of the criminal department member Wai Lang, looking left and right, and was bored, when he saw Ni Fang walking in behind an official.

Yang Muyun saw that his clothes were the same as Lu Yulin's, and knew that he was Lang Zhong from the Criminal Department, so he waved his hand at him, "Lord Lang Zhong"

Xie Ning nodded, very satisfied with his knowledge, "Director Yang, your matter has been known by the official, but the relevant witnesses have not been summoned, and the testimony has not yet been taken, so it is not possible to convict you......"

"Lord Lang Zhong means that Xiaguan can go back now," Yang Muyun said, "Stay at home and wait for your summons at any time?" ”

"Director Yang is a little restless," Xie Ning smiled, "This matter is related to the national system, and we have to wait for the Holy Lord's instructions, and the Ministry of Rites, Dali Temple, and the Metropolitan Procuratorate will jointly send someone to try it," paused for a moment, "Since the people of the Zhongcheng Terracotta Division handed you over here, this official can't release you back without permission, so you can stay in my criminal department with peace of mind." Saying that, he glanced at Ni Fang, Ni Fang understood, stepped forward and said to Yang Muyun: "Director Yang, please come with this official!" ”

......

The prison was dark and cold, and there was a strange smell in the air. Ni Fang led Yang Muyun to walk in the long corridor, which was surrounded by cells and cells surrounded by log fences on both sides.

The atmosphere inside was oppressive and dreary, with the occasional wail or two of the prisoners.

"This is the prison of my criminal department," Ni Fangtou said without replying: "The conditions are worse, you can be wronged for the time being!" ”

Yang Muyun looked around with his eyes and smiled leisurely: "It's not bad, compared to the edict of Jinyiwei, this is no less than heaven." ”

"Has Director Yang ever been to Jinyiwei's edict?" Ni Fang asked in surprise.

"Don't hide it from Lord Wailang," Yang Muyun smiled slightly: "Xia Guan was originally a thousand households of Jinyi Weibei Division, and he was just transferred to the military department not long after......"

"You...... You said you were originally a brocade guard? Ni Fang's eyes widened, and he was a little uneasy to speak.

Yang Muyun nodded.

"Then why did you go to the military department again?" Ni Fang asked in disbelief.

"This is the emperor's will," Yang Muyun said lightly: "The emperor saw that the subordinate officials had good military strategies, so he ordered the subordinate officials to go to the military department. ”

"I see." Ni Fang couldn't help but glance at Yang Muyun twice.

At this time, the prison officer, dressed in a red and black cardigan, led several jailers in pale blue soap uniforms to hurry over, and the feathers on the lacquered crown could not stop shaking because they were walking too fast.

"Lord Ni, why are you here today?" The prison officer's surname is Guan, his name is Guan Shuo, he is in his early fifties, he has a red face, he is not tall, but he is very solid, he is just a petty official from the ninth grade, and bowed deeply towards Ni Fang, "This adult is ......" He glanced at Yang Muyun, and asked with doubts in his eyes.

It's no wonder that he is puzzled, Yang Muyun has all the official clothes and hats, and he is not handcuffed and shackled, unlike the officials who have been imprisoned for committing crimes, and judging from the complements on his official uniform, his rank is lower than that of Ni Fang.

How could he be accompanied by a member of the five ranks, Lord Wailang?

Looking at Guan Shuo's questioning face, Ni Fang coughed lightly and said, "This ...... Well...... This is the head of Yang who was sent by the Ministry of War to help the official review the case file, and the affairs in the yali are a little too noisy, so the official specially brought him here to find a clean place, so why don't you go and start arranging it quickly. ”

"Coming here to review the case file? Is there anything I need to send someone to deliver it? Guan Shuo wondered if he had heard it wrong for a while, "The prison of the Criminal Department is like a Senluo Palace, it would be good if the officials with a higher rank came in without being scared half to death, and they could still handle official business?" He couldn't help but glance at Yang Muyun, and when he saw that his expression was as usual, he said, "Here...... I'm afraid it's not easy to find a clean place! ”

"Less nonsense," Ni Fang scolded angrily, "Isn't there a private room next door to Deputy Commander Wang?" Could it be that you have other arrangements? He wanted to leave Yang Muyun to Guan Shuo and leave, but as soon as he heard about Yang Muyun's Jinyi Guard's identity, he didn't dare to slack off.

"The villain doesn't dare, the villain doesn't dare to ......" Guan Shuo bowed his hand again and again, "The little one will lead the two adults to ......"

This is a very large room, with a screen painted with flowers, birds, fish and insects divided into two rooms, tables and chairs, several chairs, four treasures of the study, embroidered quilt brocade...... Everything was spotlessly clean, and there was a smell of vanilla in the room.

This is a cell in the prison of the Criminal Department, which is clearly the study and bedroom of a large family! Yang Muyun was dumbfounded.

"Master Yang," Ni Fang said with a smile: "You just live here for the time being, and if you have anything, you can go directly to Guan Shuo." ”

"I'm so tired of Lord Ni." Yang Muyun arched his hand and said.

......

After seeing Ni Fang leave, Yang Muyun sat on the rosewood chair in the room, and as soon as he breathed a sigh, he saw Guan Shuo leading a jailer to walk in with a large number of case files, put them on the bookcase, and smiled at Yang Muyun: "Lord Yang, these are all criminal files related to the Ministry of War, please take a look." ”

"Got it, the official will go over to review it in a while, you go out first!" Yang Muyun said with a smile. Because his charges were undecided, Ni Yuanwailang couldn't put him in prison, so he took great pains to find him such a place, and any assistance in reviewing the case files was just an excuse, but this honest prison officer took him seriously and really sent a pile of case files.

"I committed this case, and I was directly assigned to the Criminal Department to handle the errand." Yang Muyun smiled bitterly and shook his head.

He stood up and paced a few steps back and forth in the cell, and when he was bored, he sat down with a book

Dig through the pile of case files before the case.

"Liu Qi, Yingzhou Zuotunwei General Banner, had a private fight with the villagers for encroaching on the land of Hejiazhuang, resulting in one death and four injuries......"

Seeing this, Yang Muyun couldn't help but shake his head, "The officers and soldiers of the guard station don't think about training to guard the border, but they fight for land with the people like a villager shrew, how can they resist the border and retreat from the enemy with such morale?" ”

Flipping through a few pages, they were all cases of officers and soldiers in the barracks committing adultery and committing crimes due to lax military discipline, and at the moment I lost interest in reading any more, and pushed this pile of case files aside.

"Heh, I thought that only this official had the treatment of living in the official house, but I didn't expect you to be locked up here at a young age." A broken gong throat startled Yang Muyun.

Yang Muyun followed the sound and saw a thin face on a prison window on the wall.

The man was about thirty years old, with two slender beards on his lips, a pair of eyes that were surprisingly large, his pupils slightly yellowed, and a face as straight as that of an ape.

"You are?" Yang Muyun asked.

"This official is Wang Shan, the deputy commander of Jinyiwei, which yamen are you?" The man asked.

The deputy commander of Jinyiwei is an official from the third grade, Yang Muyun hurriedly got up and said: "The next official is Yang Muyun, the director of the Arsenal Clearance Department of the Ministry of War. ”

"The head of the Arsenal Clearance Division of the Ministry of War?" Wang Shan shook his head, "I don't believe it, how can a sixth-grade official have the qualifications to be locked up here?" Glancing at him carefully, "I didn't take off my official hat or my official uniform, could it be that you came here on an errand?" ”

"The head of the subordinate and the first soldier department came to this prison of the criminal department to run the errand of the criminal department, doesn't it make people feel funny when they hear it?" Yang Muyun said self-deprecatingly.

"It's still a crime," Wang Shan smiled, "Tell me, what did you do to be locked up in this place?" ”

Yang Muyun told Wang Shan everything that happened in Guangjuxuan.

"This group of Tartars is really becoming more and more rampant," Wang Shan said angrily, "If you want to change the officials, you must lead a group of brothers and break the legs of these Tartars." ”

"Then what did Lord Wang come in for?" Yang Muyun asked.

"This official ...... Ahem...... "Wang Shan's old face turned red, and he changed the topic and said: "Don't talk about the affairs of this official, your little six-grade master has been treated like this because of this matter, it really makes people feel a little unbelievable, there must be other reasons behind this." After that, a pair of ape eyes stared at Yang Muyun for a moment.

Yang Muyun was so uncomfortable with his staring, he groaned for a while and said, "Could it be this reason?" He met Wang Shan's gaze, "Xia Guan also has an identity, which is the Jinyi Weibei Division Qianhu ......"

"You're also a member of the Jinyi Guard?" Wang Shan's eyes lit up, "So you and this official are our own people, but why hasn't this official heard of your name?" ”

"Xiaguan was originally a hundred households in the southern capital of Jinyi Wei Nansi, and was promoted to a thousand households in the north of the Beijing division by the emperor's decree because of his merits, and he just arrived in Beijing a few days ago to perform his duties......"

"No wonder," Wang Shan's eyes froze, "Then why did you go to the military department again?" ”

Yang Muyun told Wang Shan about the conversation between him and the emperor, and finally said: "The emperor saw that the lower officials knew a lot about military affairs, so he arranged the lower officials to the military department. ”

"I know a lot about military affairs," Wang Shan rolled his eyes, and said with a smile: "It seems that the emperor still doesn't trust the people in the military department, so he sent you to the military department......

"The emperor sent me to the military department to monitor the people of the military department?" Yang Muyun said in surprise.

"You just came to Beijing, and you still don't know much about the movements of the court," Wang Shan glanced at Yang Muyun, "The emperor is ambitious, and he wants to emulate Taizu Taizong and sweep away Mobei, but the ministers of the court are bent on making peace with Waiyi, and bitterly persuade the emperor not to use swords and soldiers, among which the military department and the household department are the most ......" The corners of his mouth hooked, "What you said to the emperor is the emperor's appetite, plus the emperor wants to rectify the military department, so he sent you to the military department." ”

"Is that really the case?" Yang Muyun was secretly surprised when he heard this.

"You've only been in the military department for two or three days, how can you understand a lot of things?" Seeing Yang Muyun's surprised appearance, Wang Shan didn't care at all, "The military department's poor control has led to some officers and soldiers in the capital and border passes privately trading armor and equipment with Mongolian envoys, and even some generals even secretly sold firearms to the Mongols......

"Is there such a thing?" Yang Muyun's face changed, he thought of what Lu Yulin told him, and also mentioned the outflow of ordnance and firearms, but he said that this was done by people from the Ministry of Industry, and asked him to find a way to investigate the Wang Gong Factory and the Armor Factory under the Ministry of Industry, but Wang Shan said that this was done by people from the Ministry of War, who said it was true?

"As soon as the evidence is collected, it will be handed over to the emperor," Wang Shan turned his eyes and sneered: "The emperor will do something to the Ministry of War, and then those old guys in the Ministry of War will be purged out," he glanced at Yang Muyun, "After the Ministry of War is reshuffled, the opportunity for you to be promoted will also come...... Hehe, little brother, it's okay for you to be a soldier in the army. ”

Yang Muyun was in turmoil at this time, and he didn't hear the words behind Wang Shan.

At this time, the door opened with a "clang", Guan Shuo walked in, and glanced at Yang Muyun with a strange gaze, "Lord Yang, Lord Shangshu is invited, please come with the villain!" ”

There are four officials above the third grade sitting in the lobby of the Criminal Department, Jin Lian, the Shangshu of the Criminal Department, Shangshu Hu of the Ministry of Rites, Xue of Dali Temple, and Chen Xun, the Imperial History of the Left Capital of the Metropolitan Inspection Yuan, all of whom are sitting majestically, with a pair of sharp eyes sweeping towards Yang Muyun

"This battle is not ordinary!" Yang Muyun suddenly felt a nervousness in his heart.

"Yang Muyun, you will tell you everything about today's events, and you must not hide it in the slightest." Jin Lian, the secretary of the Criminal Department, said with a dignified face.

"Yes, sir." Yang Muyun bowed.

He spoke clearly and eloquently, and everyone present could hear him very clearly.

"Polo called my Ming Dynasty's Jingshi Dadu?" Jin Lian frowned and asked.

"Yes, sir." Yang Muyun said: "He said that one of their Mongols can beat ten of our Han people, and he also said that their Great Khan will soon wave his army south, recover Dadu, and restore the glory of the Great Yuan......

I only heard the sound of "pop", and the wooden screen in the lobby sounded heavily
