In the face of a group of brocade guards who completely ignored themselves and the law of the country, and were arrogant and arrogant to the extreme, Xia Weiqiu realized how terrible this most feared institution in the Ming Dynasty in the past hundred years was.

In the past, when he listened to his friends, classmates and colleagues talk about Jinyiwei and showed jealousy, he didn't take it too seriously, because in his opinion, most of these statements were exaggerated. Or maybe that's the old yellow calendar, now in this prosperous world, even if the factory guards are unscrupulous, they will not do things too much.

But now, he realized that his original idea was completely wrong, and he didn't encounter the threat of Jinyiwei before, just because he was in a remote county, and people didn't look down on him at all. And now, once they really find an excuse and opportunity, it is not something that a small seven-pin county order can handle.

In fact, these brocade guards acted like this because they had been holding back for a long time and had a rare opportunity to vent, so they couldn't wait to do it. Since Wang Zhen fell off the horse, the situation of Jinyiwei, as one of his lackeys, is also quite unbearable, even in the local area, they are all holding their tails and behaving people, and they dare not do anything out of the ordinary.

And this time, they finally got such a legitimate opportunity to come to Lijin County to investigate the case, and they didn't have the same joy as a wild horse with a loose halter?

Of course, their joy is not manifested in the torture of some innocent people, this is just a means, but their purpose is to take advantage of the opportunity.

As a matter of fact, since they arrived in Lijin yesterday, they have made a swift attack under the pretext of investigating the murderers of their colleagues, and brought the owners of those rich families in Lijin County into the county office under the pretext of suspects, and then let out the word and let their families pay for ransom.

Because there are Jinyi guards in this city, they are looking for targets one by one, and none of them have escaped the net. And the Jinyi guards who rode out of all directions naturally frightened the people in the city, so there was no half of the people outside the county at noon.

The people who were taken into the yamen yesterday were actually ransomed by their own families as early as this morning, but these two people were the showmen who came to the county school to question after hearing the news.

These two talented men are also well-read, and they don't have the slightest ability to judge the situation, and they think that they have a reputation and will make those who are evil jealous, so they come directly to the yamen to reason. And the result, naturally, Xiucai met the soldiers, and it was unreasonable.

Jin Yiwei has always been domineering, and in his heyday, even high-ranking officials in the DPRK and China were arrested and tortured at will, so how could he care about the identities of these two talents? And they didn't know how to go back to the errand, so they directly took down the two of them, and then insisted that they were murderers, and planned to torture them, and successfully closed the case.

Xia Weiqiu, who was the commander of Lijin County, saw this situation, although he was angry, but he couldn't do anything, and he mustered up the courage to go to Jinyiwei Theory several times, but he was persuaded by his subordinates and master. It wasn't until the screams of the two torturers became more and more terrible, and seeing that they couldn't even save their lives if they continued to toss, that he finally ran uncontrollably, and ended up trapping himself in it.

Looking at Xia Xianling's frightened and indignant appearance, the Jinyi Wei Baihu named Ma Decai was even more disdainful with a hint of pride, squinted at the other party and ordered: "Give me continued torture, I don't believe that their mouths can be harder than my Jinyiwei's whip!" ”

"Yes!" Several lieutenants with whips in their hands immediately agreed loudly, and waved their whips with a smirk again. In fact, they tortured these two innocent people not only to force them to admit their crimes, but also to satisfy their perverted psychology, and at the same time to prove the value of their existence, after all, they have been aggrieved enough for a long time in the past half a year.

"Wait!" Just as the whip was about to be drawn on the target, there was a thud, and the closed door was slammed open, and a voice full of majesty followed.

I don't know if it was affected by this sound, but the whip of the captain in charge of the punishment was actually soft in the middle of the road, and it did not reach the target. Then, everyone in the room turned their heads to look at the door, with some anger on their faces, is there anyone in this county government who dares to obstruct themselves?

Ma Decai's face sank and he was about to ask someone to take down the person at the door, but after seeing the appearance of one of them clearly, he suddenly froze: "Yang ...... Yang Qianhu, why did your old man come? "As one of the hundred households in Jinan's Thousand Households, and a close confidant of Qu Gongliang, he had met Yang Zhen with his boss before, and he was deeply impressed by this cold-faced Thousand Households.

A few brocade guards who originally wanted to reprimand, and even rushed out immediately to get people, after hearing this, their faces quickly flashed with surprise, and their movements naturally stopped. For a while, these people were stunned as if they had been pointed, and they were all stunned in a somewhat strange posture.

Yang Zhen's cold gaze swept over the faces of these people, and finally fell on Ma Decai's face: "Put people down and give them a good life and heal their injuries......"

"But......" Ma Decai didn't expect that the other party's first sentence was to give an order that was difficult for him to accept, and he subconsciously wanted to object. But after meeting the other party's eyes, a chill suddenly arose in his heart, as if he was being targeted by a poisonous snake, and immediately changed his words: "Quick, take them off and send them to the side for treatment!" ”

Even Baihu said this, and these school captains naturally didn't dare to disobey, so they hurriedly relieved the two unlucky Xiucai who had fallen into a coma, and then carried them aside. At this time, Yang Zhencai slowly entered the room, frowned slightly, stared at Ma Decai and said, "Didn't I ask Qu Qianhu to call you back?" Why are you still here? ”

"It's not ...... to be lowly in your job" Ma De just wanted to say that he had not received such an order, but then he understood again. Obviously, Yang Zhen would not lie, and the adults of his own thousand households must have agreed to the other party, but he did not really order to summon people back.

Qu Gongliang's practice is actually the same as the reason for the execution of these subordinates, that is, he wants to take this opportunity to vent. And in his opinion, Yang Zhen will not keep an eye on such trivial things, as long as it drags on for a few days, it is normal to call someone back after satisfying himself. But Yang Zhen's actions greatly surprised him, and he actually appeared in Lijin County only one day later, and caught Ma Decai and them red-handed.

But as a smart person and a subordinate who is good at figuring out the psychology of his boss, it is naturally impossible for Ma Decai to blame his own thousands of households, so he quickly changed the conversation: "Back to my lord, it was because I was greedy for a while and wanted to solve the case and make meritorious contributions, so I didn't immediately receive the order to return to Jinan." ”

"Really? Have you found out the truth? Don't tell me that those two seemingly powerless scholars can kill the people in your brocade guards. Yang Zhen said with a cold face.

"No...... Can't. The lowly officials only felt that they were suspicious, so they were interrogated. In front of Mingren, he naturally didn't dare to tell nonsense, so he could only throw out such an unconvincing reason.

"Hmph, I can't do anything well, I like to go through these crooked ways, no wonder my Jinyi Wei will be looked down upon." Yang Zhen said disdainfully, but he didn't mean to pursue the other party. Because he knew very well that Jinyiwei had always acted like this, the problem was not actually with them.

And Ma De finally breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this. Although the other party's words were quite unkind, he did not mean to hold himself accountable, which was a blessing in misfortune. After all, there are thousands of households, and they are also from Fusi, a person with the status of Qincha, and he has a hundred households in one place, of course, he does not dare to confront it head-on.

"This Lord of a Thousand Households, I hope you will give justice to the innocent victims in this county." After the initial surprise, Xia Weiqiu finally recovered from his panic and shock. Seeing that Yang Zhen was quite upright and jealous of Ma Decai, he mustered up the courage to complain.

His words made Ma Baihu's heart tighten, and at the same time, he gritted his teeth and secretly hated, he knew that this guy was like this, and he should have been taken down and tortured first.

Yang Zhen fell on this black and thin county magistrate, and his expression softened slightly: "Are you the main hall of this Lijin County?" ”

"It's this official!" Although Xia Weiqiu was apprehensive, he still puffed up his chest while speaking, looking quite majestic.

"There's someone waiting to talk to you in your office, so go there and talk about the rest first." Yang Zhen ignored the other party's pursuit at all, but changed the topic.

"Ah......" Xia County Ling replied with some puzzlement, and then he realized that people didn't mean to make decisions for themselves and the people in the county at all. Because they are also Jinyiwei's people, how can they stand up for outsiders and deal with their own family? This is the so-called protection of officials and officials.

After understanding this, he could only laugh at himself, arched his hand at Yang Zhen, and then went out. Since the person who came wanted to see him, and it seemed that his status was not low, he naturally had to go for a while. At the same time, he couldn't help but wonder in his heart, why did this matter look bigger and bigger, not only attracted hundreds of households and thousands of households in Jinyiwei, but even a person with a higher status than them, could it be that it alarmed the powerful people in the Beijing Zhenfu Division?

When Xia Zhixian left and found that Yang Zhen had refocused on himself, Ma Decai's mood became tense again, and he smiled at the other party with a stiff smile: "I don't know what the adults command?" If not, the lowly will take someone to leave. At this time, he just wanted to leave this Lijin County quickly.

Unexpectedly, Yang Zhen shook his head: "You wait, some people may need you." ”js3v3
