readx;
Almost at the same time that Yan Jin was imprisoned in the prison, the news came out, and more than a dozen black shadows instantly poured out of the dark streets of the capital, with flexible movements under his feet, without any communication, rubbing, in pairs, and quickly disappeared into the darkness.

"Is this true?"
"It's true, the news from the palace, the emperor Long Yan was furious, angrily reprimanded Yan Jin, and ordered someone to be imprisoned."
"Hahahaha." A burst of laughter came out, and two figures were reflected through the window lattice, one fat and one thin, one tall and one short, the distance was closer, and the two figures were reflected under the candlelight, and the fat one was the person who appeared on the official road, the former county magistrate of Sanjiang County.
"The general's revenge has finally been avenged!"
The fat man smashed his fist on the table, the flesh on his face shook up and down, he was ordered to stay in Sanjiang County that day, he didn't want Sanjiang County to be occupied by another force, and the leader was the arrogant and domineering county seat Liu Datong.
So it is certain that the fat man in front of him is Lan Yu's person, and the news of Lan Yu's ambush has spread, and most of the old troops in the past left the border camp in frustration, and they were also worried that they would be implicated in it, so they could only live in seclusion in the wilderness.
Only some people with relatively hidden identities remained, the trees fell and scattered, as soon as Lan Yu died, most of the people who were attached to him on weekdays chose to take refuge in others, and only some diehards were left who could think of avenging Lan Yu in their hearts.
"Although it was Lan Yu who killed the general, it was indeed the cold-blooded and confused emperor who gave the order."
"Be quiet." The fat man's figure moved to the door, his ears were attached to it, this is the capital, you have to be careful when you talk and do things, make sure that there is no one, and flash back to the table.
"Be careful that the wall has ears, you and my brother have received the favor of the general, and now they can see that the old thief Yan Jin is content with the law, and if he hears such words, he will lose his head."
"Are you scared?"
"It's not that I'm afraid, there are too many implications, don't forget that you and I are family people." The fat man reminded loudly, and the thin man on the side snorted coldly, "It is said that the courage to be an official is big, and he dares to take any benefit, at this time, he is not thinking about his future and wealth, don't forget, without the general, you and my brother would have died a long time ago." ”
"I haven't forgotten, I don't dare to forget it for the rest of my life, just what the two of us can do, not to mention that if it is peaceful today, the people are rich, and the general knows everything, he will definitely be able to understand you and me."
"Forget it, there's still something to do, I'll look for you another day."
"Don't do stupid things."
The wooden door was pushed open, the black shadow disappeared quickly, the fat man let out a sigh, the wooden door was closed and returned to the room, with the faint light of the candle flame took out a note from his arms, twisted his fingers to take a look, raised his hand on the candle flame and lit it, it can always be kept around his waist, it must not be an ordinary thing, why should it be burned at this time.
As if thinking of something, the palm of his hand moved, and the burning note was extinguished, and he held it in his hand, and suddenly received instructions twenty days ago, in the past, these instructions were carried out through the hand of Lan Yu, and then choose the right person, the note was opened again, and the words Jinyiwei faintly appeared on it.
Eradicating the Jinyi Guard to avenge the Spear King, Lan Yu's status is extremely high, ranking first among the two kings, and his status is only under one king, and finally died at the hands of the Jinyi Guard, and all the hatred instantly gathered on the Supreme Commander of the Jinyi Guard, Yan Jin, who was once the first of the three peers in the Blood Hand Alliance, known as the old man.
Yan Jin knows how to disguise his identity and is equally loyal, and from all indications, the seemingly powerful Blood Hand Alliance is gradually losing its ability to control the number one person, and Yan Jin is the best example.
There was no word all night, and the capital was exceptionally quiet tonight, whether this kind of stagnant calm was a sign that a violent storm was coming.
Crunch, the wooden door was pushed open, and a person walked out of it with a sigh of air in his mouth, just took three steps, stumbled and fell a big heel under his feet, and scolded in his mouth, "Where did you come from, hide here and trip Lao Tzu, believe it or not, I will kill you." ”
Just as the man got up from the ground and turned to see who had tripped over him, the whole person fled back with a strange scream, and closed the wooden door with a clatter.
The number of people on the street gradually increased, and some of them came over boldly, and there was a man lying on the ground, with his eyes wide open and his face pale, lying there motionless.
"I'm afraid I'm not sick."
"It doesn't look like it."
One of them was bold and put his hand in front of the man's snort, "He, he's dead." ”
"Dead, Officer."
A person flashed out of the crowd, the fat figure was particularly conspicuous, he glanced at the man, his left hand outward, his right hand on his waist, a pair of eyes looking around, lying there was the thin man who left last night, this is only a street away from where he lived last night, that is to say, he was poisoned not long after leaving.
After a short time, a team of yamen came over, one of them carried a box in his hand, it should be a special autopsy, most of them are experienced, dead people, and they can tell whether they died or killed them by both hands.
"It's done."
"How did you die?"
"There were no external injuries, it should have died of illness."
The first catcher nodded quickly, "Can anyone recognize this person?" ”
The onlookers shook their heads again and again, "Send them outside the city first, post a notice, and see if anyone comes to identify the body." ”
"Obedience."
The yacha left with the corpse, and the people dispersed, and the fat man left with the crowd, the person was already dead, and he couldn't figure out what happened here last night, the right and wrong place in the capital, the sooner he left, the better.
As everyone left, two people walked out of the street corner, dressed almost no different from ordinary people, "Do you see clearly?" ”
"Probably not."
The other person nodded, "This guy is too ostentatious, keep him sooner or later, send a few people out to keep an eye on it, if someone identifies the body, even the person will destroy the body directly, so as not to trouble in the future." ”
"Okay."
Three days passed, Jinyiwei commanded Yan Jin to be imprisoned, Zhu Yuanzhang was only imprisoned, and when the news came out, those who hated Jinyiwei shouted happily, and it was sad for these people who stayed in Jinyiwei's camp.
"My lord, will something happen?"
In the past, the brothers of the Tianlong Battalion got together again, and now they have all done thousands of households in each battalion, and they are busy reorganizing, don't look at the Jinyiwei camp, there are not many opportunities to meet on weekdays, the news of Yan Jin's arrest came out, and the entire Jinyiwei camp exploded instantly.
The emperor wants to move Jinyiwei, I dare not imagine, everyone knows that Jinyiwei is the emperor's personal guard, and he has done too many things to help the emperor over the years, to put it bluntly, he is his own person, who would have thought that Zhu Yuanzhang would attack his own people.
It can be said that although Jin Yiwei is at fault, he used his power to do something that should not be done, the tree is big, everyone has a big forest, plus those who think of a way, it is inevitable to collect some benefits, and after receiving benefits, they must always do something to come out, and take people short, after all, there is still merit, especially Yan Jin.
"Your Majesty, the dragon body is important, let's go back and rest."
Zhu Yuanzhang frowned, and read the folds in front of him several times in a row, the excerpts sent by the courtiers in these places were justified and well-founded, and they were to the point, directly grasping Zhu Yuanzhang's vital points, especially Jin Yiwei's abuse of power to trap those upright officials and the people, one by one, all with blood and tears.
"I'll see it again, is there any reaction from Jinyiwei?"
"Back to the emperor, the commander has already ordered to go down, and the guards of the capital and the Imperial Forest Army have mobilized people to surround the camp of the Jinyi Guard, and there is no movement for the time being."
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded, "No matter what, Yan Jin has always been the supreme commander of Jinyiwei, and he has cultivated a lot of good players over the years, so he can't be careless at this time." ”
"The minion is going to deliver a message to the Commander."
"Go ahead."
The eunuch in charge had just gone out, and happened to see a little eunuch running in from outside, "What's going on?" ”
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has arrived, saying that he wants to meet the emperor."
"At this time, I'm afraid it's not appropriate." The eunuch in charge looked worried, knowing the prince's temperament, at this time, the emperor was annoyed about the matter of Jinyiwei, once the prince's words were inappropriate, I was afraid that he would be angry.
"The crown prince has arrived, and he must see the emperor."
"Take me there."
The little eunuch agreed, the eunuch in charge had a very high status in the palace, walked a few steps quickly, went down the steps, and happened to see the prince Zhu Biao, since the Lan Yu case, Zhu Biao has been staying in the East Palace to learn the number of rituals, why did he suddenly enter the palace at this moment to face the saint.
The eunuch in charge walked a few steps quickly, "The servant greets His Royal Highness the Prince." ”
"No need to be polite, my father can be in the main hall?"
The eunuch in charge hesitated, "Yes, but the prince had better not go at this time." ”
"Why is that?"
The eunuch in charge coughed, "The prince must have heard the rumors, the ministers folded and impeached the Jinyi guard, and the strict commander has been pressed into the prison to await trial, and the evil is more auspicious, these days, the emperor has been annoyed by this matter, no matter what the purpose of His Royal Highness the prince's trip is, it is not the time." ”
Zhu Biao smiled indifferently, "Don't hide it from my father-in-law, His Royal Highness is here to intercede, and the queen mother told her when she was dying, you must not use the sword again, and strictly command the envoy to make meritorious contributions to the court, even if there is a mistake, it is definitely not the fault of one person." ”
"Your Highness, you must think it through."
"Please."
"Okay."
The eunuch in charge shook his head helplessly, whispered a few words in the ear of the little eunuch, most likely to let this person pass the word, he took the prince to the main hall, the eunuch in charge went in, Zhu Biao had to wait outside the door, don't look at the prince's body, he also obeyed the rules here.
Zhu Yuanzhang heard the voice of the eunuch in charge and raised his head, "So fast?" ”
"The emperor clearly sees that even if the old slave runs and breaks his leg, he can't come back, and the errand is handed over to someone else to do, the emperor, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is waiting outside the palace."
"Prince!" Zhu Yuanzhang moved his body, his fingers lightly tapped on the table, and most likely he had guessed that the purpose of Zhu Biao's trip must be to intercede for Yan Jin.
It is also strange to say, Hu Weiyong was arrested that day, and there were many people who denounced his crimes, and only Li Shanchang and those old ministers who had fought together were the only ones who were protected by Li Shanchang, this time it was different, Yan Jin was arrested, and there was no one who took the opportunity to complain, and there was no one who pleaded for mercy, it should be that the situation is unclear, so I went to wait and see.
"Let him in."
"Yes."
The eunuch in charge turned around and went out, came to the door of the main hall and whispered a few words, Zhu Biao nodded, stepped in, knelt on the ground and kowtowed, and shouted, "Erchen greets my father." ”
"Get up and speak."
Zhu Biao got up and stood aside respectfully, his eyes fell on the folds stacked like a hill on the table, if he didn't guess wrong, these should be the excerpts of the impeachment of Jinyiwei and Yan Jin, I had already thought about it on the way here, and I was also stunned for a moment, I didn't expect it to be so many at once.
