With the killing of Li Shanchang and others, the previous turmoil has slowly passed, and the streets of Nanjing City have returned to their former prosperity again. They also rarely cared, at most they just had a few more after-dinner conversations.

However, on a street to the west of the Imperial City, it is inaccessible, even if the street next to it is bustling, but few people dare to come to this street, and even if someone has to pass through this street, they are all fast, as if they are afraid of being caught.

And in the middle of this street, an inconspicuous yamen stands there, and there are three big characters hanging on the door, "Zhenfu Division", which is also the famous Jinyi Wei station.

Originally, Jinyiwei was suppressed two years ago, and there were even rumors that Jinyiwei was going to be withdrawn, but this time Hu Weiyong's case recurred, Jinyiwei's majesty immediately trembled, and now it is simply a ghost and a god, if someone on the road wears a flying fish suit, the people around will immediately retreat.

It can be said that after this case, Jinyiwei's reputation has reached a peak again, and the people in the capital don't even dare to mention the word "Jinyiwei", let alone pass by in front of the Zhenfu Division.

But today's situation is a little different, I saw that on the originally quiet street, suddenly a group of people and horses galloped over, and quickly stopped in front of the door of the Zhenfu Division, and the guards in charge of guarding the door were still a little surprised, after all, no one dared to gallop in front of the Zhenfu Division, but when they saw the clothes of the people on the horse, they were also shocked, because the other party turned out to be the guards in the palace.

Li Jie rode on the horse and looked at the gate of the Zhenfu Division, here he is also the first time to come, the current Zhenfu Division is not divided into north and south, but only one Zhenfu Division, until the Zhu Di period, the Zhenfu Division was divided into two, the North Zhenfu Division is responsible for investigating the case, the South Zhenfu Division is responsible for supervision and law and discipline, as for the future East Factory and West Factory, now there is not even a shadow.

However, it is precisely because there are no messy spy agencies, which also makes the power of the Zhenfu Division in the early Ming Dynasty great, and there is no one to restrain it except for the emperor, so that the prestige of Jinyiwei is getting bigger and bigger, no wonder Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to suppress Jinyiwei before, and even stripped some power from Jinyiwei, otherwise let them grow, sooner or later it will threaten the imperial power.

At this moment, I saw a hundred households coming out of the Zhenfu Division, and it was estimated that he had received a report from the guards, and he was also stunned when he saw Li Jie on the horse, and then stepped forward and saluted: "The lower officials meet Li Banyu, I don't know why you came to the Zhenfu Division?" ”

"You know me?" Li Jie also looked at this strange hundred households with some surprise, he was sure that he had never seen each other.

"Li Ban doesn't know anything about reading, as long as there are famous and surnamed characters in the capital, almost all of us Jinyiwei know each other!" I saw that this hundred households were very proud, Jinyiwei originally relied on the supervision of the minister, so as long as there are officials with names and surnames in the court, they will draw images to keep the Jinyiwei in mind, not to mention that Li Jie is still one of the key points of Jinyiwei's attention.

"Really?" Li Jie was noncommittal when he heard this, and then said again, "Where is Mao Xiang, let him come out to see me!" ”

Li Jie called Mao Xiang's name directly, and now he is still sitting on the horse, which can be said to be extremely arrogant, which makes the faces of the hundred households in front of him also change, he has never seen anyone dare to be so disrespectful to the commander!

However, this hundred households are still very cautious, so they didn't dare to get angry at this time, but cautiously glanced at Li Jie and said: "The commander is in the yamen, why don't I go and say it, and then ask Li Ban to read it in and see each other?" ”

"Humph!" Li Jie snorted coldly, and immediately took out the holy decree in his arms and said loudly, "This official is under the imperial decree of His Majesty, control the brocade clothes and guards, and let Mao Xiang come out to receive the decree!" ”

Seeing that Li Jie actually took out the holy decree, Baihu was also startled, and immediately didn't dare to say anything, turned around and rushed in to report the news.

After a while, I saw Mao Xiang go out with a group of brocade guards to greet him, but when he saw Li Jie, his face was also a little ugly, but he still honestly stepped forward and saluted: "Jinyi guards are all commanding Mao Xiang to receive orders!" ”

Li Jie glanced at Mao Xiang condescendingly, and did not rush to read the holy decree, in fact, Li Jie's arrogance was only three points true, and the remaining seven points were pretended to be, because he knew that Jinyiwei would soon be unlucky, especially this Mao Xiang, after all, the stranded rabbits were already dead, and of course the lackeys left behind would not end well!

Li Jie had to rely on the power of Jinyiwei this time, and he couldn't get too close to the other party, so he deliberately behaved so arrogantly, so as not to involve Mao Xiang in the future.

Li Jie rode on his horse and looked at Mao Xiang, this was the first time he had seen the other party outside the palace, and then he dismounted, unfolded the holy decree and read it out: "Decree, coastal defense patrol envoy Li Jie, control the Jinyi Guard, etc.!" ”

This decree is very brief, in fact, it is not a formal decree, at most it is a decree, because Jinyiwei belongs directly to the emperor, and usually only needs a decree, this time it was at the request of Li Jie that Zhu Yuanzhang deliberately added a decree.

"Obey the order!" Mao Xiang immediately accepted the order, and at the same time secretly breathed a sigh of relief, just now he saw Li Jie's menacing appearance, and thought that the other party was here to ask for the guilt, but fortunately he just restrained them.

But then Mao Xiang thought of doing things under Li Jie, and his heart was also tight, he almost caught Li Jie's parents before, this Liang Zi couldn't turn over anyway, and looking at the other party's performance just now, it was obvious that he didn't plan to reconcile with him.

Sure enough, just as Mao Xiang was about to ponder, Li Jie next to him said in a weird manner again: "Commander Mao, aren't you going to invite me in?" ”

"You ......" Mao Xiang was also angry when he heard this, since he took control of Jinyiwei, except for Zhu Yuanzhang, no one dared to talk to him like this, even if it was an important minister in the court, he had to be polite to him, but Li Jie looked like a villain, which was really hateful.

However, Li Jie came by order after all, and Mao Xiang didn't dare to attack even if he was annoyed, so in the end he had to hold back his anger and said: "Li Banyu, please come in!" ”

Li Jie didn't be polite to him, and immediately snorted coldly and walked directly to the front, and the Jinyi guards behind Mao Xiang also looked at each other, but some people knew the grievances between Li Jie and Mao Xiang, but these people all shrank back, after all, the gods fought, so don't go up to them.

Li Jie stepped into the lobby of the Zhenfu Division, and without greeting anyone, he directly ascended to the position of the main hall, and then sat down, which made Mao Xiang in the back finally couldn't help but say angrily: "Li Jie, don't deceive people too much!" ”

It's no wonder that Mao Xiang is angry, the position of the lobby can only be sat by him, the commander, even if Li Jie has the power to control the Jinyi Guard, but after all, he is not the master here, he is now snatching Mao Xiang's position, which is simply slapping him in the face.

Li Jie sneered, and then reached out and put the waist knife that had been holding in his hand on the table with a "bang" and said, "Mao Xiang, do you recognize this knife!" ”

Mao Xiang's face changed in fright when he saw the waist knife on the table, others may not know him, but as a close minister of Zhu Yuanzhang's side, he often goes in and out of Dongnuan Pavilion, so he naturally recognized this as Zhu Yuanzhang's saber at once.

"Jinyi Guard, all of them must listen to my moderation, if you dare not obey, you will not be spared!" Li Xiuguang stared at Mao Xiang fiercely, in fact, he didn't really want to take Mao Xiang well, but he went to arrest his parents before, and this revenge could not be avenged, so Li Jie just wanted to humiliate Mao Xiang fiercely, and by the way, he could also kill chickens and monkeys, so as not to provoke any cats and dogs in the future!

In the face of Li Jie's threat, Mao Xiang also felt extremely aggrieved, but when he saw the saber in Li Jie's hand, he didn't dare to disobey, after all, Zhu Yuanzhang had already shown his attitude by rewarding Li Jie with the saber, so no matter what Li Jie said, he had to do it.

Li ...... Li Ban reads and breathes anger! It was rude just now, please don't blame it! In the end, Mao Xiang relented again.

The brocade guards behind Mao Xiang were also in an uproar at this time, it was the first time they encountered someone who dared to come to the door to provoke, but Mao Xiang had to apologize, and now they also refreshed their cognition of Li Jie again, and secretly labeled Li Jie with a "can't be messed with" label in their hearts.

Seeing Mao Xiang soften, Li Jie nodded with satisfaction, in fact, he didn't like this, after all, people who are too arrogant generally don't end well, but there is no way, officialdom is a place like this, if you behave kindly, it will make people think that you are weak and can be bullied, maybe you will be eaten by others and there is no scum left, so you must be tough when you should be tough, otherwise you will suffer yourself.

"Okay, now I'll give you a task, before noon tomorrow, I want the capital, as well as a detailed list of famous and wealthy businessmen near the capital, especially the business under their names, the more detailed the better!" Li Jie immediately commanded.

"The subordinate obeys! It will be done by noon tomorrow! Mao Xiang was also relieved when he heard this, he was worried that Li Jie would deliberately embarrass himself, but he didn't expect that the other party just wanted the details of the rich businessman, which was just a piece of cake for them Jinyiwei.

"Very good, I'll come back tomorrow at noon!" After Li Jie finished speaking, he didn't drag his feet, and stood up directly to leave.

However, when leaving, Li Jie also saw Hu Jiang in the crowd, and the two glanced at each other, but they didn't say anything.

In fact, Li Jie had seen Hu Jiang a long time ago, and he didn't have a good impression of Hu Jiang, but when Hu Jiang went to arrest his parents before, he could still treat him politely, so Li Jie also wrote down this favor, and if he greets him now, I'm afraid it will only make Mao Xiang hate Hu Jiang, and he will not be a good person in Jinyi Wei in the future.
