The 24 yamen of the Ming Dynasty belonged to the inner court system, which was the institution of eunuchs serving the emperor and his family, with 12 eunuchs, four divisions and eight bureaus. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Peng Yu was transferred from the household department of the outer court to the imperial horse supervisor of the inner court, and he was feeling panicked, and unconsciously felt that he was a dwarf, turning the "lower official" he called himself when he communicated with Shen Xi into a "small one". Now he is in urgent need of some money and wants to return to the household. Therefore, he attaches great importance to Shen Xi, the "gold master", but he also knows that it is too risky to do this.

Shen Xi asked: "Brother Peng, have you ever thought that you can make a big profit at a time, and you won't have to get involved in this dangerous business after you finish this business?" ”

Peng Yu swallowed his saliva and said, "Lord Shen's meaning, the small one understands, but the small one said, it's not the small one who refuses to help, it's the criminal department...... They don't dare to take such a big deal. ”

"Brother Peng, if you can find someone who is seven points similar to Lu Sun's physical characteristics, and finally dies and can't be recognized by others, how sure do you think?" Shen Xi asked.

"This ......"

Peng Yu naturally knew the steps to replace the woman in the prison.

Even if Li Jin was before, he was looking for a dead body to replace him, but it was all perfunctory, and no one would seriously investigate, so it didn't have much to do with it, but this Lu Sun's background is complicated, and there are many people who know her, and she can't be compared with those yellow flower girls who are raised in the deep boudoir gate and don't go out of the second door.

"Lord Shen, in this hurry, I'm afraid it's difficult to find someone similar, right?"

Shen Xi said: "Whether you can find it depends on whether Brother Peng has the heart to take this business." I'll just say it bluntly, I'm going to spend 1,000 taels of silver to buy Lu Sun's life, and when she comes out, I will have some more benefits with Brother Peng in the next few years, which is enough to make Brother Peng worry about food and clothing for the rest of his life. ”

When Peng Yu heard the number of "one thousand taels", his face showed a heart-pounding look, according to his salary of less than twenty taels of silver a year, he would not be able to earn so much money in his life.

"Lord Shen, you're not kidding, are you? One thousand taels? ”

Peng Yu is not the kind of person who opens his mouth widely, he felt that this number was too big, and immediately sighed, thinking that Shen Xi was joking.

Shen Xi said: "Does Brother Peng think that I am the kind of person who talks about it?" ”

"This ...... Of course not, the Lu Sun clan used to be a trader and had silver...... It makes sense. Peng Yu thought for a moment and said, "But it's this substitute...... Not easy to find......"

"Did Brother Peng ever think that if a person dies and the body is unrecognizable, he can be confused?" Shen Xi said again.

"This ...... If someone checks it, it can't be hidden. Peng Yu said.

Shen Xi said with an encouraging tone: "Then what if the cell is on fire?" I personally went to the prison of the Criminal Department to see it, this autumn is crisp and dry, if there is a fire, accidentally an accident kills someone, and in the end, even the corpse is burned beyond recognition, who can guarantee that this dead body is not Lu Sun's? ”

"Huh?"

Peng Yu thought about it, it really made sense, why didn't I think of it before?

He looked at Shen Xi in surprise, and thought to himself, this champion is different, how can he feel that he is more professional than those old oilmen in the Criminal Department?

"Lord Shen, I'm afraid of ......"

Peng Yu wanted to say something more, but Shen Xi directly increased the price: "One thousand five hundred taels." ”

"Huh? This one...... Lord Shen, don't get me wrong, the villain doesn't have a problem of dissatisfaction with the price, it's just ...... It's too complicated......"

"Two thousand taels!"

Shen Xi finally gave a new high price.

Peng Yuyi stomped his feet and said, "Lord Shen, since you want this Lu Sun clan to come out so much, then the little one will tell the truth." If you want to save someone, you can ...... Even if the villain fights for his life, he will help Lord Shen to go to the soup...... It's Lord Shen...... If you can open your own government in the future...... Can you promote the villain...... Let the villain follow you to eat...... Instead of staying in the twenty-four yamen? ”

Peng Yu put forward his own request.

The twenty-four yamen is the most complex yamen in the Ming Dynasty, and the personnel in it come from different backgrounds, but because the officials of each yamen are basically eunuchs, ordinary people are trembling in doing things inside, and one will be punished by purification if he is not careful, and he will become a eunuch "glorious" if he is not dead.

Peng Yu was also unlucky and was exchanged for a job in the inner court.

The main reason is that in the past two years, the imperial court has copied the properties of many merchants, some of which have become imperial property, and the imperial horse supervisor lacks management expertise, resulting in chaotic accounts and making ends meet.

In view of this situation, the eunuch of the Imperial Horse Supervisor made a request to the Cabinet, and the Cabinet handed over the matter to the Ministry of Officials, who saw that this matter was easy to do, and only needed to draw people from the Yamen who docked with the Imperial Horse Supervisor, so Peng Yu, the deputy envoy of the household department, suffered a disaster, and sadly joined the ranks of the "eunuch party", although his official rank was also promoted from the ninth rank to the ninth grade, but in the face of the risk of becoming a eunuch at any time, he could only try to find a way to transfer out.

"Brother Peng thinks so highly of me, then I have nothing to say, as long as the matter is completed, I will have a bite to eat in the future, and Brother Peng will definitely be indispensable. If I am promoted, I will promote Brother Peng, this is my promise. Peng Brothers...... I'm here to thank you! ”

Shen Xi stood up and saluted Peng Yu respectfully.

"Lord Shen is tormenting the villain, the villain will do it......" Peng Yu was very moved, "But in terms of money, maybe Lord Shen has to break the bill first, otherwise the villain will not be able to do it." ”

Shen Xi rarely said that he would move Peng Yu to help, and of course he would not refuse.

He actually has a very indifferent view of money, and if he can save Hui Niang, he can't even be an official, let alone the family property that he doesn't bring with him if he is born and dies?

"I'll let people get money for Brother Peng, please!"

Shen Xi has absolute trust in Peng Yu, because this is the last person he can use, if he doesn't even believe Peng Yu, he really has no one to entrust him with a heavy responsibility.

……

……

Peng Yu took a hundred taels of silver from Shen Xi's hand, hurriedly went to the Criminal Department to find someone, asked about the situation, and came back to explain the details to Shen Xi in less than two hours.

“…… Lord Shen, I asked, it's okay, but it's okay, but the stand-in ...... Since the top is very close, you may have to find a special one. Peng Yu said, "But I heard that among the prisoners in custody, there is a female prisoner who is very similar to Lu Sun's, or the prison numbers of the two can be exchanged......

Shen Xi frowned, and asked with some hesitation, "That means, burning the living to death?" ”

"I'm afraid that's all it takes."

Peng Yu said, "This is what it means over there, saying that before the fire, the people were replaced, and after the fire, a few prison doors were opened, so that the scene got out of control." If the last three law divisions can't find out Lu Sun's true identity, they will secretly send Lu Sun's out, but if it is confirmed that it is not him, it will be said that Lu Sun's family took the opportunity to escape to another prison, and if he didn't notice it for a while, he could only lock people back! ”

Shen Xi probably understood what it meant.

To put it bluntly, the people in the criminal department are afraid of being responsible, and they must first make sure that the upper echelons will not be held accountable before they are willing to send people out. Before sending it out, Hui Niang had to be left in a cell and wait for the follow-up results.

"Lord Shen, there are some things that have to remind you, the fire in this prison of the Criminal Department is not trivial, and the person who died is a key criminal, it is impossible for the three law divisions not to investigate in detail, if they are replaced by dead people, people who are burned alive and died of natural diseases can find out the clues with a little observation."

Peng Yu said, "But Lord Shen doesn't have to blame himself too much, the prison number next door is a person who is suffering from tuberculosis and waiting to die, and this person is the one who wants to replace Lu Sun's family." ”

Saying this, Shen Xi suddenly remembered that when he went to visit Lu Sun's family, what impressed him the most was the miserable cry of the girl in the prison next door.

The little girl's mother was about to die, but the cell boss didn't care about it, and Shen Xi couldn't bear it at that time.

"Lord Shen, all the activities that the villain can do have are active, now is the best way, you can take the idea!" Peng Yu finally looked at Shen Xi eagerly and said.

In order to save Hui Niang, and to make innocent people die in vain, Shen Xi had difficulty making a choice in his heart for a while.

I didn't kill Boren, but Boren died because of me, Shen Xi was really uneasy, but thinking of the pain that Hui Niang might endure, he still put his heart down: "Okay, I'm tired of Brother Peng." I will give you the rest of the money. ”

"No...... Don't worry, just wait until everything is settled. ”

Peng Yu hurriedly stopped, "Just ask Lord Shen to remember, if the villain has three longs and two shorts because of this, the villain's family, you have to worry about it." ”

Shen Xi understood that Peng Yu was doing business with his head in his hands.

Behind the high risk is the high reward, get Lu Sun out of the cell, Peng Yu can have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of his life, and he can also get Shen Xi's care, and he will be able to rise to the top in the future, which is a great temptation for Peng Yu, which is also the fundamental reason why he is willing to help.

But Peng Yu was afraid that something would happen, but as long as he took care of his family, after the accident, he would not confess Shen Xi, even if the matter failed, Shen Xi would be able to get out of the matter.

Shen Xi originally thought that Peng Yu was just a villain, but now that he thinks about it, this person has no choice, and he can give his life to help you, if he doesn't give trust, then there will only be a group of people in this world who are not ancient.

"Brother Peng, please rest assured, if something happens, Ling Gaotang will be my Gaotang, and there will be no loss!" Shen Xi took Peng Yu's hand and said.

"Good...... Thank you, Lord Shen. ”

Peng Yu left in a hurry, and left a letter to Shen Xi before leaving, and the action was on the same night.

Because sooner rather than later, if the matter drags on, once Hui Niang is arraigned, she is likely to be locked up in another cell, and things will have to be re-planned.

What Shen Xi was worried about was that Zhang Yanling's people would take the first step.

Shen Xi didn't go home that night, and stayed outside temporarily, but only temporarily notified Zhu Qi and asked him to go home to inform him, saying that there were still some hands on the township test this year, and he needed to stay in the Shuntian Mansion to deal with it, and he couldn't go back tonight for the time being.

Even if the matter was set at night, Shen Xi knew that it would only be carried out in the dead of night, because at that time the people in the cell were asleep, so even if the people in the prison were replaced, it would not be easy for people to notice.

Shen Xi didn't know how big the plan for this fire was, but it depended on the situation...... There is more than one scapegoat for the people who are going to die, and the people of the criminal department may bury many lives for the sake of silver.

That night, Shen Xi stayed overnight in the small courtyard where Li Jin lived for the first time.

It has been more than half a year since Li Jin was bought back by Shen Xi, and it can be seen that the number of times Shen Xi has only added up to five times, each time it is in a hurry, Shen Xi does not say anything to her, and then leaves.

But this time, Shen Xi came, but sat at the table and remained silent.

Originally, in her opinion, this was just a young man, even if he became famous in the field, he couldn't get rid of his child's heart, but at this time she knew that Shen Xi was a deep man.

"Master, it's late at night, and the concubine will serve you to bed." Li Jin stood beside him for more than an hour, and finally mustered up the courage to speak.

Shen Xi turned his head sideways and looked at Li Jin and said, "What did you say?" ”

"The concubine body is to say...... Serve the master to bed. ”

Li Jintou couldn't help but lower, she was a woman after all, and how old Shen Xi was, this kind of thing was difficult to talk about, but from the day she was bought by Shen Xi, she knew that she was just a woman raised by Shen Xi outside, and she would always usher in a day of sleeping.

Shen Xi looked back at the candle on the table and shook his head: "No need." I'm here today just to wait for news that is important to me, and if you're tired, go to bed first. ”

Li Jin was originally a little repulsed by Shen Xi, after all, she was not married back to Shen Ximing, and she had the arrogance of a young lady in her heart.

But being rejected by Shen Xi so coldly, she felt disappointed again.

Shen Xi didn't accept her, or when she took the initiative to serve, after that...... Isn't it even possible to do Shen Xi's outer house?
