Chapter Eighty-Seven: Fabricated Charges to Remove Nails
For Jinyiwei and the East and West Factories, Li Mi is also extremely interested, it is now the twenty-second year of Wanli, and I don't know if Li Jinzhong has entered the palace, let alone this young man who was born on the street and became a eunuch from the palace in order to avoid gambling debts, has changed his name now.
Li Mi knew that this young eunuch would become one of the most notorious Ming eunuchs in another ten or twenty years, but Li Mi really didn't know much about history and couldn't understand the specific situation.
The reason why I pay so much attention to this Li Jinzhong is because after this young man changed his name, he was called Wei Zhongxian!
Li Mi has always wanted to see the brocade guard wearing a flying fish suit and an embroidered spring knife at his waist, but unfortunately he didn't get his wish this time.
The flying fish suit is an official uniform that can only be worn by the senior military attache of the Jinyi Guard, and there are red python robes and bullfighting suits on top of the flying fish suit, which are far from being the lucky ones that Li Mi can see today.
After getting the news, Li Mi asked people to go to the ward Wu Weizhong, because he knew very well what a huge temptation Zhou Yu was for these Jinyi guards.
But Li Mi didn't feel how to panic, because he didn't need to worry at all, Zhou Yu could use the Juyi Hall as a chessboard, kill these widows, and play everyone between applause, even now, he will still take the initiative in his own hands, if he doesn't want to, these brocade guards want him to enter the palace to face the saint, but I'm afraid it will be difficult to do.
And if Zhou Yu had already planned to enter the palace, Li Mi didn't plan to do anything to keep it, maybe he couldn't keep it, because as a traverser, although it is not clear whether Zhou Yu is the same as him, he is also a traverser, but Li Mi has lost to Zhou Yu, which is an indisputable fact.
In fact, this is an objective gap in hardware, if Zhou Yu is a real traverser, then he must have an advantage over Li Mi.
Because Li Mi has mastered the knowledge and cultural technology of the next thousand years, a large part of which is too advanced, and with the environment and conditions of the Ming Dynasty, it is impossible to put it into action.
But this Zhou Yu comes from a thousand years ago, from the fact that he has the art of war of Li Jing of the Tang Dynasty, as well as his speech, it can be seen that maybe he is not just crossing, but really living for a thousand years, and the knowledge reserve in his mind is like a vast sea!
If this is the case, how can Li Mi be able to fight Zhou Yu?
Of course, Li Mi would rather believe that Zhou Yu is a time-traveler like him, and he would never dare to believe that Zhou Yu has lived forever for thousands of years.
Putting these aside, since the cavalry of the Jinyi Wei Hundred Households has arrived, the purpose is obvious, and it is naturally coming for Zhou Yu.
However, Li Mi did not relax his vigilance because of this, because the Fan family father and son were dissatisfied and jealous of their nakedness, because they suppressed Li Mi head-on, so Li Mi did not need to be guarded, what Li Mi really guarded against was actually Huang Shiyuan, the same acquaintance of Suzhou Mansion who had been smiling and hiding a knife!
Li Mi was about to ask Song Zhiwei about the situation of the hundred households, but there was already a commotion outside, and as soon as Li Mi and Song Zhiwei got up, they saw a military general wearing a blue-green splendid suit pressing his knife and asking in a Jingshi accent.
"Which one is Li Mi!"
Song Zhiwei hurriedly stepped forward and said to the man: "It turned out to be Lu Wutai Lu Zong, I don't know what kind of wind will blow the general over?" ”
This Lu Wutai is also a hundred households, but he is a sixth-grade official position, which is higher than Song Zhiwei's seventh-grade promoter.
Moreover, the Jinyi Guard has fourteen thousand households, and whether they fight or not, they are the most noble among the thousand households, because they are the close servants of the Son of Heaven to put it bluntly, and they are the all-round troops directly under His Majesty the Emperor!
Earlier, the Jinyi Guard was the emperor's honor guard, but later the authority became bigger and bigger, so that the tail could not be lost, and it gradually got out of control.
Therefore, no matter in terms of official position or real power, an official like Song Zhiwei should have little confidence in front of Lu Wutai of 100 households.
But Song Zhiwei can also see that this Lu Wutai is clearly coming for Li Mi, if he doesn't block it for Li Mi, and he has the right to buffer one or two, Li Mi is afraid that he will be crushed so that there is no bone and scum left!
Sure enough, the people of Jinyiwei were no one in their eyes, and this Lu Wutai didn't take Song Zhiwei in his eyes, and didn't care about Song Zhiwei's greetings at all, but continued to shout in a deep voice.
"Which is Li Mi, don't get out of here yet!"
Li Mi knew Song Zhiwei's kindness, but he also knew that Song Zhiwei couldn't do anything at all, so he also stood up at this time and said to Lu Wutai.
"The villain is Wu County Patrol Li Mi, I don't know what advice he has."
Lu Wutai is also in his twenties, he is really frighteningly young, although Baihu is not too high-level in the Jinyiwei system, but you must know that the official position of Jinyiwei is not so easy to get.
The first Jinyiwei was established by Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang, not called Jinyiwei, but Gongwei, that is, the predecessor of Jinyiwei.
The reason why this yamen was established was to give those brothers around him who followed him from birth to death a more decent official position, so that they could become their own personal guards.
Later, Gong Weisi and later Jinyiwei have not yet become terrifying spy intelligence agencies, but only His Majesty the Emperor takes care of his old subordinates, so that those sons among his subordinates are not successful, and there is a place to eat and wait for death.
In other words, the brocade guards who got up early were just a benefit from the emperor to his subordinates, so that those who were not talented and capable could have a serious official position and name to eat and eat.
It can also be seen from this that it is not the descendants of the official eunuchs and magnates, in fact, it is difficult to enter the Jinyi Guard, although there was a small amount of recruitment later, but the official position of the Jinyi Guard is actually mainly hereditary, and the son of Lao Tzu died on the top.
This Lu Wutai is so young, his eyebrows are full of unruliness, and his nostrils are facing the sky and there is no one in his eyes, he is indeed a second-generation official.
But Li Mi did not underestimate this person, because unlike other official positions, 100 households can be used to command troops, as the name suggests, 100 households are not leading 100 troops, but managing 100 military households, but later, it became the meaning of commanding 120 troops.
It can be seen that Lu Wutai did not come in Jinyi to mess around, but can really take power!
Song Zhiwei, the governor of Suzhou Prefecture, is lower than his rank and official position, but at least he still has an official body, and he is not respectful to him, Lu Wutai can still understand, but Li Mi is just a small catcher, and he dares to be neither humble nor arrogant in front of him?
He had already heard the provocation of Huang Shiyuan and Wang Mude, saying that this Li Mi was the troublemaker who stirred up the wind and rain, and now that he saw it, Li Mi really had an unpleasant face, which was annoying from beginning to end!
Although he Lu Wutai is only six products and hundreds of households, he mentions Song Zhiwei, that is, the prefect Chen Heguang, and he has to be polite to him, and almost no one in the local area dares to collide with him head-on!
This is also related to the official system of the Ming Dynasty, for example, Jinyiwei is a very special yamen, Jinyiwei is said to be the most important yamen of His Majesty the Emperor, and its chief is generally a high-ranking official of the first or second grade, and the command of the envoy is already a third-grade yamen, and the north and south Zhenfu Division is regarded as a four-level yamen, which is equivalent to a bureau-level unit directly under the central government.
And the Wucheng Terracotta Division, which is also in the capital, is just a positive six-grade yamen, mainly responsible for public security in the territory, patrolling and other things, that is, a local section-level unit, so the captain of the Wucheng Terracotta Division, when he encounters an ordinary brocade guard, even if the other party is just a righteous general flag, he must be polite, and he does not dare to breathe.
This is the innate nobility of Jinyiwei, although there are many big officials in the local yamen, but the local yamen itself is already lower than the Jinyiwei yamen, even if the local officials are high-level, when they meet the middle and senior officials of the Jinyiwei, the local feudal officials do not dare to hold it up, and even want to tie up the Jinyiwei.
In addition, Jinyiwei is famous, even if he has now become the dogleg of the East and West factories, but who dares to provoke Jinyiwei?
However, Li Mi dared! Who gave him the guts, why is he so arrogant? Don't take him in his eyes at all!
Li Mi is not blindly confident, he also knows that he should be able to bend and stretch, and if he wants to gain a foothold in the officialdom, sometimes it is necessary to bend over, but he just wants to be a detective because he doesn't want to be so angry, if he can't even do this, how can he achieve his ideals in the future?
Lu Wutai is really noble, but he can't control his head, Li Mi didn't make any mistakes, even if Lu Wutai deliberately found fault, Li Mi believed that he could confess, even if he couldn't confess, he couldn't be managed by a brocade guard, that should be Jian Dingyong's headache, not his Li Mi!
That being the case, why did Li Mi nod to him? Why should you have lost your dignity?
Seeing that Li Mi was like this, Lu Wutai was angry, and said to the lieutenant and Lux behind him: "This general received a tip, Wu County patrolled Li Mi, harbored criminal evidence, sabotaged the investigation, came to someone, search for me to death!" ”
Li Mi knew that he would find fault, but he didn't expect him to find such an excuse, and he couldn't cry or laugh at the moment, where is the evidence of Li Mi's crime?
However, those captains and wrestlers have already pounced, and Li Mi also knows that this era is not like the later generations, what human rights and the rule of law are told to you, and it is just a matter of one sentence to search for you, unless you are also powerful and powerful, then there is still a fight.
But Li Mi didn't take care of the loss, why was he so angry!
"Slow me down!" Li Mi pressed the hilt of the knife, his eyes burst into fierce light, and he stared at Lu Wutai Dao neither humbly nor arrogantly.
"Mr. Lu, although Li Mi is lowly, he is also a public person, if you take a name at will, you will search my body, if you can find it, Li Mi can't say anything, but if you can't find it, what should you do?"
Lu Wutai didn't expect that at this time, Li Mi was still so hard-mouthed, as the general of the Jinyi Guard, no one could respect him for three points, Li Mi's little patrol was rampant to such a point!
"This master said that you are harboring, you are really harboring, if you resist arrest, don't blame the people under your hands who don't know the severity of their hands and feet!"
Lu Wutai drank suddenly, and continued to say to those captains and wrestlers: "This person is a supreme commander and despises official authority, take it down for me first, and beat him in the ass before speaking!" ”
Those captains were also bullying, and they couldn't hold it anymore, so they pulled out their waist knives one after another!
However, at this time, a lazy voice sounded outside the door.
"Wake up the governor of Pontus to sleep, the hundred households of Jinyi Wei are really majestic..."
