When he came out of the Qianqing Palace and saw Luo Sigong, Zhu Youzhen directly took out the token of the pro-army capital and said, "Lord Luo, can you recognize this thing?" "Zhu Youzhen thought that in addition to the emperor in the Ming Dynasty, if anyone else knew this token, then it would be either Jinyiwei or Dongchang.

"Your Highness, I recognize." Seeing the token, Luo Sigong saluted Zhu Youzhen with a fist and replied.

"Lord Luo doesn't have to inspect here in person, please follow me to the mansion for a while." After speaking, he and Zhu Youxiao left the palace.

Zhu Mansion, not long after Zhu Youzhen returned to the mansion, Luo Sigong also arrived.

In the study, Luo Sigong explained to Zhu Youzhen the origin of the pro-military capital protectorate.

"The pro-army capital was secretly established by the emperor in the tenth year of Wanli, and it has twelve guards, of which the first guard is the Jinyi Guard. At the beginning of the establishment of the pro-army capital protectorate, there was no one to govern except the emperor, and the emperor made two tokens, one of which was in the hands of His Royal Highness, and this token could be arbitrarily transferred to the twelve guards. In addition to the twelve guards, including the East Factory, it is also under the jurisdiction of the pro-military capital Protectorate, and the token for the transfer of the East Factory is that other piece. ”

"And a token?" Zhu Youzhen asked with some curiosity.

"The token in His Highness's hand now is unknown to no one except for the emperor and the commander of the twelve guards, as for the other one, it is known to everyone."

"Why haven't I heard of such a token?"

"How could His Highness not know that that token was the gold-inlaid jade plate that His Highness used to enter and exit the palace gate all day before." Luo Sigong said with a smile.

Only then did Zhu Youzhen understand the real use of the gold-inlaid jade plate, which was only used as a pass before, and others were holding chicken feathers as arrows, but he was holding arrows as chicken feathers.

"I have long heard of the name of the thirteen bad ghosts of Jinyiwei, and I asked Lord Luo to explain one or two things to me." Since he got the token, then the emperor handed over the brocade guard to Zhu Youzhen, and Zhu Youzhen, who was already curious about the thirteen poor ghosts, naturally had to understand this secret agency first.

"Yes, Your Highness, the Thirteen Poor Men of the Ghost Gate are thirteen people carefully selected and cultivated by Jinyiwei, and these thirteen people have their own abilities in addition to their good kung fu. The eldest Xiang Hong, nicknamed the poisonous snake, the second Qiancai, the nickname the rich man, the third Qiu Fei, the nickname Wuying, the fourth Zhang Cang, the nickname Kuaidao, the fifth Xiaoyao, the nickname Prodigal, the sixth Meng Hui, the nickname Scholar, the old seven demons and seven seven, the nickname Niangzi, the old eight Duan Yan, the nickname Judge, the old nine Fan Qiong, the nickname Three Fingers, the old ten iron leopard, the nickname the wicked, the eleventh Wang Benliang, the nickname the farmer, the twelfth Feng Mo, the nickname Horn, the thirteenth Song Jing, the nickname Zhenren. ”

Luo Sigong first introduced the names of each of the thirteen members of the Ghost Gate in one breath and then continued, "In addition to being good at intelligence, the poisonous snake Xiang Hong is good at torture and assassination. ”

"Rich money is good at business and negotiation."

"Shadowless Qiu Fei is good at assassination and tracking, a gecko swimming wall body method and light skills of flying on the grass in the world, a pair of legs can travel thousands of miles a day."

"Quick knife Zhang Cang is good at killing."

"The prodigal son is good at piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, poetry and songs, and pickled girls."

"Scholar Meng Hui is only good at reading, and he never forgets it, whether it is a subset of scriptures and history, as long as there are books, he can basically recite them throughout, as long as it is a book he has read, it will no longer be a lone book."

"The lady demon Qiqi is good at disguise, jiu-jitsu and illusion, and the smoke in one hand is overwhelming."

"Judge Duan Yan is good at reasoning and judging cases."

"Three-fingered Fan Qiong is good at stealing with empty hands."

"The wicked Iron Leopard is good at fighting and gambling."

"Farmer Wang Benliang is good at poisoning."

"Horn Feng Mo is a big mouth, good at guiding public opinion."

"The real Song Jing is good at divination and fortune telling, and he is very good at playing tricks in the rivers and lakes."

Luo Sigong introduced the details of the thirteen differences of the ghost gate in one breath.

"Where are the rich man's money and the real Song Jing now?" After listening to Luo Sigong's introduction, Zhu Youzhen asked.

"Qian Cai returned from Suzhou Mansion a few days ago, and now he is in Nanzhen Fusi, Song Jing is still traveling in Shandong, if necessary, he can be summoned immediately, and he can return to Beijing within three days at the earliest." Luo Sigong replied.

Zhu Youzhen tapped his fingers on the table and thought for a moment and said, "In this case, let Qian Cai come to see me tomorrow, and bring the distribution map of all the post stations and docks of Jinyiwei." As for Song Jing, he is not in a hurry, and when he comes back, he will let him come to me. ”

"Humble duty understands." Luo Sigong saluted Zhu Youzhen.

"Also, pay more attention to Fang Shoufu and Fang Shihong's movements recently, and you don't have to report to me, keep it for Beizhen Fusi in the future."

"Yes."

"Gao Sheng, send Lord Luo for me." After the matter was finished, Zhu Youzhen shouted outside and signaled to see off the guests.

"Retire from your duties."

Out of the Zhu Mansion, Luo Sigong figured out all the way what the distribution map of the post station and wharf that the fifth prince wanted Jinyiwei to do, I don't know if this was the prince's order, if you want to control Jinyiwei, the most important thing should be the Jinyiwei list, concealed clothing, and outposts.

Although he couldn't figure it out, Luo Sigong didn't have any worries in his heart, he had at least expressed his intention to the prince, although for Jin Yiwei, he was once a son of heaven and a courtier, but with Luo's relationship with the son, at least the Luo family could be safe.

Early the next morning, Zhu Youzhen was eating breakfast, and the porter came to report, and someone outside asked to see him, and Zhu Youzhen instructed the porter to lead the person to the side hall to wait.

After eating in a hurry, Zhu Youzhen came to the side hall, and saw a fat-headed, big-eared man wearing a splendid costume drinking tea, and looking out from time to time, seeing Zhu Youzhen's arrival, the person hurriedly got up, "My subordinates have seen Your Highness for money." ”

After Zhu Youzhen sat down in the main seat, he stretched out his hand towards Qian Cai, "Sit down, do you have the distribution map?" ”

Qian Cai was just about to sit down, but when he heard the inquiry, he immediately stood up again, took out a stack of folded drawings from his arms and handed them over, "Please take a look at Your Highness." ”

Zhu Youzhen slowly opened two drawings, the first one is densely packed with small dots, which are marked with the names of various post stations, there are thousands of large post stations alone, not to mention some small posts that are not marked, and the other copy of the Caoyun Wharf is much simpler, mainly distributed along the Yangtze River and some major rivers, even so Zhu Youzhen has a big head for a while. He simply closed the drawing and asked Qiancai, "What do you think of doing freight through the post station and Caoyun?" ”

Listening to Zhu Youzhen's words, the money was a little big, "Your Highness doesn't know, the post station is a place for mail, communication, state affairs, and military, and it is strictly forbidden to smuggle materials. ”

"Oh?" This is a little unheard of by Zhu Youzhen, and he also thinks that the post station is similar to the function of carriages and horses except for officials passing through and resting.

"Your Highness, is there a need for money? His subordinates have saved a lot of money in business over the years, and if His Highness doesn't dislike it, His Highness can deal with the 500,000 taels first. Qian Cai took out a stack of silver tickets and handed it over, he had thought about it before he came, it was a post station and a wharf, presumably His Royal Highness the Prince of the World was looking for him to discuss some ways to make money, it was better to take out some money directly.

"Ahem......" Zhu Youzhen, who was drinking tea, was choked a lot, and was misunderstood that the autumn wind was coming, "You can take the silver first, and I don't need any money urgently." ”
