The Imperial History of the Patrol City has set up five inspection institutes in the east, west, south, north and middle of the city in Beijing, and each inspection institute has a different number of imperial histories, Jiang Huan belongs to the South Patrol Academy, so the unlucky Li Fugui and his family were brought to the South Patrol Academy.

The South Patrol Institute is probably one of the yamen that is still lit up in the middle of the night in Beijing, and there are more than a dozen soldiers guarding the gate standing at the door.

Jiang Huan looked at Li Fugui behind him, and then explained: "Bring the prisoner who pretends to be the Marquis of Guangning to the second hall, and the official will take a break to try the case!" ”

After Jiang Huan finished speaking, he ignored the struggling Li Fugui, entered the yamen and returned to his resting place, and his own servants offered towels to wipe his face.

There are a total of eleven imperial historians in the Southern Patrol Academy, and tonight it is Jiang Huan and a royal historian surnamed Dong on duty, that Dong Yushi saw Jiang Huan come in, and asked with a smile: "Lord Jiang, it seems that there is another case tonight?" ”

Not long after Jiang Huan arrived, in order to be promoted and famous, many officials who violated the curfew order were arrested in the past month or so.

Jiang Huan smiled when he heard Dong Yushi say this: "I caught a prisoner pretending to be a marquis, and the younger brother will go to the overnight surprise trial in a while!" ”

In the past, Jiang Huan arrested some unlucky ghosts who drank flower wine and prostitutes at night, but today he got a guy who pretended to be a nobleman, this is a big case. You must know that these nobles in the court, regardless of their official positions, have the emperor's golden book, and now someone dares to pretend to be a marquis, which is a serious crime of the three clans.

Dong Yushi heard that Jiang Huan had caught a big fish, and hurriedly asked, "Pretending to be a marquis?" Is that guy so bold? Which marquis is being pretended? ”

There were only thirty-six marquis in Zhu Hong's three titles, and most of these people were military officers, and after the founding of the People's Republic of China, these people were sent by Zhu Hong's three divisions to serve as garrison commanders, and less than ten people stayed in Beijing.

"Lord Dong should have heard of it, it's the Marquis of Guangning."

Jiang Huan was stunned as soon as he said that Dong Yushi, Guangning Hou was too familiar with him, wasn't it the cell boss Li Fugui? This old guy hugged His Majesty's thigh in Wuchang back then, and lived to the founding of the country, and not all bullshit could be a marquis.

Dong Yushi is also very familiar with this guy, although Li Fugui is not ostentatious in the capital, but Lao Li likes to drink and visit brothels, and it is common to go home late at night, so these night wandering gods of the city are very familiar with Li Fugui.

"Master Jiang, are you caught an old guy about sixty years old, with a short figure of five, a goatee less than a foot long, and a Huguang accent in one mouth?"

"Yes, Lord Dong recognizes this prisoner?"

Dong Yushi heard Jiang Huan say this, and said angrily: "Oh, Lord Jiang, you just arrived in Nancheng and don't know, this guy is the Marquis of Guangning, this old guy lingers in Fireworks Willow Lane every day, most of the people in our Imperial History Office of the city patrol know him, Lord Jiang, you caught the wrong one!" ”

Dong Yushi was originally kind-hearted, thinking that Jiang Huan had just joined the work, so Dong Yushi felt that he had the obligation to remind this daredevil, don't move anyone for promotion, Beijing is full of crowns, in case you hit a hard stone, you will suffer in the end!

Who knew that Jiang Huan smiled slightly and said: "Lord Jiang, this official is the emperor's official, no matter who violates the law, he will be severely punished!" After Jiang Huan finished speaking, he arched his hand and said goodbye. That Dong Yushi saw that Jiang Huan's oil and salt did not enter, and scolded in his heart for not eating and lifting.

Dong Yushi saw Jiang Huan go out, sat in the room, rolled his eyes, and thought in his heart: This Marquis of Guangning is not ordinary, although he is from a humble background, he can talk to the emperor, and he heard the gossip that the son of the Marquis of Guangning was designated by the emperor as the princess of Changsha, which is not a big thigh, it is better to send a letter to his family, and it can be regarded as a good fate.

After Dong Yushi made up his mind, he put on his clothes and went out, and took a few soldiers to the Marquis of Guangning's mansion in Dongcheng.

Dong Yushi said those words Jiang Huan didn't know, Jiang Huan has worked in the Ministry of Rites for more than ten years, and has been in Beijing for five years, can he not know who the Marquis of Guangning is? Jiang Huan's operation on Li Fugui today is not accidental, but the result of Jiang Huan's careful consideration.

Jiang Huan is in his forties this year, and if he was a jinshi at this age, he would have already mixed into the prefect and governor, but Jiang Huan was just a showman, and finally relied on Lao Tzu's relationship to get into the noble Metropolitan Procuratorate. Jiang Huancai wants to seize this good opportunity and strive to climb up as soon as possible.

However, unlike local administrative bureaucrats, the Metropolitan Procuratorate has no specific affairs and its main business is to scold and complain. When Jiang Huan arrived here, he found that the only thing he could do to be promoted was to handle the case. As long as Jiang Huan handles an earth-shattering case and lets it be known inside and outside the court, the prestige and qualifications of the promotion will be there.

But Jiang Huan is not so stupid as to really enforce the law impartially, and arrest anyone. Beijing is not a rural area, there are many dukes everywhere in the city, and there are as many marquis as dogs, as for any earl and governor, a brick can be thrown out to hit five or six.

Four of the nine dukes are civil officials, these four old guys Jiang Huan absolutely dare not move, these four people don't talk about Jiang Huan, even Jiang Huan's old son Jiang Yueguang is not good to do it in person. There are still five generals among the dukes, and these five can't move, not because Jiang Huan is afraid of the generals' power, but because he is afraid that he will be beaten by these guys.

These generals don't care what kind of saint disciples you are, Qian Yong used to ask for food, Zhao Guodong used to be a homeless, Wang Jinbao was a rogue, Ma Kun was a gangster in Wuchang County, Zhou Yu was a bathhouse, these five guys pay attention to the white knife in and the red knife out, so what do you care about patrolling the city? Therefore, it is better for these five to remain untouched.

The remaining thirty-six marquis are similar, most of them are civil officials, these people are either powerful teachers or have many protégés, and they are not something that Jiang Huan can afford to provoke. The military generals are headed by Qian Lide, if Jiang Huan feels that he is tired of being bored, he can provoke it, but now it is better not to talk about it, the other generals are the commanders of various divisions, and Qian Yong has a virtue, if Jiang Huan doesn't want to be beaten by a group of black-clothed people in the middle of the night, these people should not move.

In this way, Jiang Huan picked Li Fugui, who was ugly and poor, and his background was low, and at the same time, Li Fugui was still a marquis, and his status was enough, this kind of noodle melon was the best candidate to fight monsters and upgrade, so Jiang Huan was ready to take Li Fugui under the knife.

After Jiang Huan finished grooming, the second hall, the inspection institute of the city patrol and the imperial history is different from the regular yamen, this is just a temporary institution to take care of prisoners, so there is no regular yamen like the three-class yamen, and now the soldiers standing on both sides of the hall are soldiers from the Soldiers and Horses.

Jiang Huan came out of the side door, walked to the bookcase in the middle of the lobby and sat down, and the Xiaoqi of the Soldiers and Horses Division led by him saw the adults coming out and shouted: "Ascend to the hall, the prisoner kneels!" ”

In the Ming Dynasty, there was no need to kneel down to any officials, but today Li Fugui came out to drink, and he could wear neat court clothes there. The soldiers on the side saw that Li Fugui did not kneel, and stepped forward to hold him down and forced him to kneel.

Lao Li is sixty years old, and he is the opponent of these soldiers, so he has no choice but to kneel, but Lao Li Hu will not fall down, although he kneels on the ground, he will not fall in his mouth.

"This Lord Yushi, is this official the Marquis of Guangning, or the Ministry of Justice Wupin Langzhong, according to the laws of the imperial court, he should not kneel, and now you are coercing the official to kneel, why is this?"

Jiang Huan sneered and asked, "Hmph, you said you were the Marquis of Guangning, and you said that you were a Wupin Langzhong?" What about the Emperor's Golden Book? What about the seal of the official? With the official seal of the clerical officer, how can you trust the official with any proof? ”

Li Fugui heard Jiang Huan say this, he was so angry, the canonization of the golden book is a gift from the emperor, and the official seal is the most important certificate of an official, these two things are very valuable, and losing that is a big sin of losing his head, plus have you seen that official come out to drink with the official seal in his arms?

Li Fugui knew that this imperial history deliberately embarrassed himself, but now that people had to bow their heads under the eaves, Li Fugui had no choice but to beg: "My lord, this official knows that today is wrong, but please forgive me, this official really can't bring the official seal on his body." Could it be please, please let the official's family go back to the house to get His Majesty's gold book, and hand it over to the Lord for verification. ”

Li Fugui is a super marquis, or a five-grade langzhong, he can say this kind of thing and bow his head and soften, if he changes to other imperial history, he will definitely let him go home to get it, after all, these nobles have discounted bones and tendons, and if there is no deep hatred, it is really inconvenient to poke this hornet's nest.

But today Jiang Huan is different, Jiang Huan just wants to take Li Fugui to establish power, where can you get away with your guilt safely?

Jiang Huan's face sank and said: "If you don't have a golden book, you are pretending to be an imperial noble, and if you don't have an official seal, you are pretending to be an official, and if you commit these two things, you are committing a major crime of rebellion!" Come on, take off the prisoner's pants and give me twenty boards! Let's see if he's in the same party! ”

Li Fugui was the head of the cell back then, and he knew what was going on with the twenty boards, and it all depended on the mood of these killers. Li Fugui saw that he was going to be unlucky today, so he also let go out and scolded: "You bastard Yushi, do you know who Lao Tzu is?" Lao Tzu was born and died with His Majesty the Emperor back then, you little bastard hasn't been born yet! Lao Tzu's son is going to be a princess on the first day of the sixth month, Lao Tzu and His Majesty the Emperor are going to get married, you dare to beat Lao Tzu! ”

After Li Fugui finished speaking, he turned his head to the soldiers of the Soldiers and Horses around him and said viciously: "You bastards, don't you recognize Lao Tzu? Just now you were ordered by Lao Tzu not to pursue it, now if you dare to beat Lao Tzu, try it, Lao Tzu can't kill that turtle son Yushi, you can still kill you! ”

Li Fugui's words frightened the soldiers of the Soldiers and Horses Division, these people said that they were soldiers, but in fact they were all residents of Beijing, and they were selected by the local officials every three months to serve as errands in the Imperial History Office. They are all ordinary people, and now they are so frightened that they dare not do anything when they hear Li Fugui's vicious threats.

Jiang Huan saw that this was not good, but he didn't expect this Li Fugui to play this threat, Jiang Huan said to those soldiers in a deep voice: "This official knows that you are embarrassed, but this official is patrolling the city and maintaining the law and order of the capital by the emperor's holy decree, if you don't do it, you will resist the decree, and you don't need to say what the crime of resisting the decree is!" ”

This group of soldiers looked at each other, no need to say anything about resisting the order, there is a dead end! These dozen soldiers, you look at me, I look at you, there is no way to stand up and be executed.
