When Feng Bao left from Zhang Juzheng's Great Bachelor's Mansion, his steps were brisk, and a round face under the hat was also smiling.

He and Xu Jue walked to the sedan chair in front of the door one after another, and were just about to get on the sedan chair, but three figures turned around at the corner of the street, staggering a little, and supporting each other.

Feng Bao originally planned to get on the sedan chair directly, but when he saw the three people coming, he immediately stopped, stood by the sedan chair, opened the door curtain, and made the appearance of waiting for Xu Jue to get on the sedan chair.

Xu Jue also noticed the three people over there, so he had to cooperate with Feng Bao to act, and stepped forward, as if he was the main one.

The three of them also saw Feng Bao and the others, and one of them shouted vaguely: "Who...... Who's there? No, I don't know...... Is there a curfew? ”

Xu Jue's face turned cold, turned around, and said, "When you are drunk late at night, do you know that there is a curfew?" ”

It turned out that the reason why the three of them staggered and supported each other was because they were drunk, and the three of them were not far from Feng Bao's side now, and a smell of alcohol rushed straight over, which made Xu Jue unhappy.

However, Feng Bao didn't react to the smell of wine, but when he saw that these three people seemed to have the intention of something to happen in the afterlife, he couldn't help frowning slightly.

"Yoh?" Another man shook off the other two with his tongue open, took two steps forward, held his chin high, patted his chest and said, "I'm a brocade guard, and I'm out to patrol the night today, and this curfew is still forbidden to me?" ”

The man from before also stepped forward, stretched out his hand to make a blocking motion, and said with a smile: "Yes, Jin, the Jinyi guard patrolled the night, just bumped into you, and saw that you had violated the curfew...... Come with us! ”

Xu Jue subconsciously turned his head and glanced at Feng Bao, only to see Feng Bao's face gloomy and not saying a word, he couldn't help but be bold, and sneered at the three brocade guards: "Take a trip with you?" Where to? North Town Fuji? ”

The three brocade guards also seemed to be stunned for a moment, but the person who hit the head reacted quickly, and even seemed to be so shocked that he woke up a little bit, his eyes stared, and he shouted: "It's just a curfew at night, why do you need Beizhen Fusi, can't the three of us take you first?" ”

Xu Jue was about to answer, but he didn't want Feng Bao behind him to suddenly open his mouth coldly: "If it weren't for the Beizhen Fusi to handle the case according to the emperor's will, the three of you would dare to say that you would take me Feng ...... The people of the Feng Mansion? ”

As soon as these words came out, the three Jinyi guards were shocked for a while, and they glanced at each other, with a look of hesitation on their faces.

In fact, because of the rendering of some film and television works in later generations, people's understanding of Jinyiwei is somewhat biased and narrow, and most ordinary people's impression of Jinyiwei is that he is wearing a flying fish suit, wearing an embroidered spring knife at his waist, and a strong martial artist.

The usual saying is: Jinyiwei is a spy agency, and it is an eagle dog of Dongchang that acts as a prestige and oppresses the people. However, in fact, only a small part of these impressions are facts, and most of them are far from the actual situation of Jinyiwei in history.

The people who are really responsible for the work of "spies" in the Jinyi Guard account for only about 5 percent of the entire Jinyi Guard, mainly the "Ti Cai", which is controlled by the Beizhen Fusi.

The number of these cavalry is actually not very large, for example, during the Chenghua period of Xianzong, there were only 100 cavalry under the command of the head of the Jinyi Guard, who were specifically responsible for supervising the misdeeds, outlaws, thefts, and confidential affairs of the Jingshi; There are only 200 cavalry under the command of the patrol officer, and they are full-time to catch thieves. The source of these horses is mainly "Daxia or Jia Renzi".

In addition, the East Factory also selected 80 people in the Jinyi Guard, most of whom were "sharp and sharp teeth", specializing in "hooking out the curtain between the books", and the eunuch Wang Zhi had opened the West Factory when he was a pet, and the number of horsemen was twice as large as that of the East Factory, and the authority was above the East Factory, and he could "picket Chinese and foreign civil and military affairs and civil affairs".

These cavalry (Jinyi Guard captains with detective powers) can be regarded as "spies", and the number of them generally does not exceed 600 people, accounting for less than 5% of the total number of Jinyi guards (note: a full number of 1,120 people, Jinyi Wei has 17 stations). Moreover, the cavalry is selected from the people, which is different from the rule that the general health center personnel are inherited from father to son.

In short, most of the Jinyi guards who succeeded their fathers and sons are actually not spies, they are simply "the Son of Heaven's own army", and they do not have the authority to arrest illegal people. The power that Jin Yiwei really made the officials vigilant, fearful, and disgusted was actually in the hands of the Beizhen Fusi.

Moreover, even if the North Town Fusi had the authority of these "spies", their job was not to detect ordinary people, but to supervise the detective officials. Although the oppression of the people is sometimes unavoidable, it is not the main thing after all, and the reason why later generations rendered Beizhen Fusi like an eighteen-layer hell is, in the final analysis, the problem lies in its handling - dealing with officials.

The pen is in the hands of civil officials, and as a violent spy agency dealing with civilian officials, how much better reputation can you expect to fail? Even if 99 out of 100 officials arrested by Jinyiwei are guilty and deserved, as long as they catch the wrong one or catch one with a good reputation, it is a stain that cannot be washed away, and can only be repeatedly exaggerated and amplified by the civilian official group, and the last leaf is obscured and becomes the evidence of Jinyiwei's crime.

Since these three people are Jinyiwei, of course their own family members know their own affairs, so the other party opened his mouth with the sentence "Go to Beizhen Fusi", and they immediately didn't dare to talk casually - it means that they must be officials, or officials' families.

In a place like the capital, as a hereditary brocade guard, it may not be a big problem to bully the common people, but this is the place with the most officials in the world, and if you just take a brick and smash it into the crowd, you may be able to smash one or two officials of eight or nine grades to death. Although they are only eight or nine ranks, the eight or nine officials in Beijing are not joking, they are all civilian officials, maybe they are still from Hanlin, how can they afford to provoke this group of big-headed soldiers?

So the brocade guard who took the lead was immediately stunned and laughed dryly: "Oh...... Seems to be a misunderstanding? Haha, it's okay, it's okay, let's just pass by and ask a word in passing...... Dare to ask Mr. Guidi? Which Feng Mansion is it? ”

At this time, it stands to reason that Feng Bao, who was playing the role of an entourage, should answer, but Feng Bao was angry and was in a bad mood by a few brocade guards, so he didn't speak. Xu Jue had no choice but to snort coldly and said, "I want to teach you military masters to know that my master is the prince's companion, the celebrant Bingbi, and the commander of Dongchang Feng Gong." ”

When the three drunken men in brocade clothes heard the words "Admiral of Dongchang", they were directly frightened and their faces were like earth, and their bodies trembled like chaff. The two of them fell to their knees with a plop, and they didn't know if they were begging for mercy or defending themselves.

The person at the head was a little stronger, although he was also sifting the chaff, he could still stand, but he bowed again and again, and said: "The little ones have eyes and don't know Mount Tai, I don't know that the master is actually the person in front of Feng Dugong, ten thousand deaths, ten thousand deaths." ”

Feng Bao saw that they were afraid of their prestige, and their mood improved a lot, and when he saw that Xu Jue still wanted to reprimand them with fake tiger power, he coughed lightly and interrupted: "Although you are blind, you can still be considered a governor and reasonable, and since you know the crime, this time you will not blame, step down." ”

The three of them were like being amnestied, and while saying words of gratitude, they got up and ran, for fear that the people of Feng Dugong's family would suddenly change their minds.

Seeing them leaving, Feng Bao snorted coldly, and Xu Jue hurriedly gave up his position in front of the sedan chair and let Feng Bao get into the sedan chair.

But they didn't know that at the corner of the street, the three drunks looked at each other without any drunkenness, and one of them said with a smile: "The little grandfather is really like a god, our people have been keeping vigil here for more than half a year, and they have finally waited." ”

The other person also smiled: "The little grandfather is just taking people's money and eliminating disasters with people, this is like a god, but I'm afraid it's someone else." ”

Finally, the man waved his hand: "Don't say more about these things, don't say more!" Let's just do things with peace of mind...... You know, that master has money, we are only afraid of a lot of rewards this time, so we should hurry back and report it, and it is only right to take the reward. ”

"Exactly!"

The three of them looked at each other and smiled, immediately hooked their shoulders and backs, and left happily.
