On this day, Song Zhixian hurriedly came to Yang Qiuchi's house and told Yang Qiuchi that Ma Du, the general banner of Jinyiwei, had returned, and asked him to go to the post house to meet him immediately.

Since Qin Zhihui was kidnapped by that female senior, there has been no good news for a long time. Now that Ma Du is back, he must have brought the news of his promotion. Yang Qiuchi rushed to the post house.

The two were very happy to meet. Ma Du had already heard about the disappearance of Yang Qiuchi's concubine, and as soon as they met, he comforted Yang Qiuchi for a long time, and then told him that he had been promoted. This time in Beijing, the commander of Jinyiwei made Master Ji Gangji very happy, and personally promoted him to be the deputy of the Qianhu of the Jinyiwei Thousand Households of Yingtianfu, which is a five-grade official, two levels higher than the original general flag, and countless rewards. After coming back to see Yang Qiuchi this time, he was going to take office.

Yang Qiuchi hurriedly congratulated Ma Du, Ma Du first said a word of gratitude, and then told him that he had solved the case in front of Master Ji, and did his best to protect Yang Qiuchi. The commander of Jinyiwei made Master Ji Gangji very happy, and sent a secret envoy Li Gonggong to see Yang Qiuchi.

It seems that this Madu is still very righteous, and Yang Qiuchi is grateful from the bottom of his heart. Ma Du went to the back hall to ask the special envoy Li Gonggong to come out and meet Yang Qiuchi.

Gonggong Li carried a birdcage covered with black cloth in his right hand and a brocade box in his left hand. Gonggong Li put the bird cage and brocade box on the table, and after the others avoided it, he took out a small brocade shaft from his arms, held it in his hand, and said in a low voice: "Lord Yang, please kneel down and accept the order!" ”

Pick-up? Yang Qiuchi's head buzzed, as if it was about to explode, and he fell to his knees in a daze, could it be that the old man of the emperor wrote a letter to himself? Somehow, such a strange thought suddenly popped into Yang Qiuchi's head. I thought that Ma Du had mentioned it, and he should laugh if he could replace him as the general banner of the Jinyi Guard, but now it seems that he is not a small official, and the emperor personally appointed, just kidding, at least he is a deputy ministerial-level cadre, no matter how bad it is, it should be a provincial level.

"Fengtian carrier, the emperor system said: Yang Qiuchi, the capital division of Guangde, was awarded as the special envoy of the Jinyi Guard, and he was respectful. Those who disobey the order will be cut first and then played. Chin this"

"Commander envoy? What is an envoy? Yang Qiuchi's head was still buzzing, and he didn't dare to ask. He went to catch the brocade shaft with both hands, but Gonggong Li didn't let go, and reminded in a low voice: "Lord Yang, you haven't thanked you yet." ”

Yang Qiuchi was stunned for a moment, and quickly kowtowed and shouted, "Thank you, Lord Longen!" Long live my emperor, long live, long live! ”

Only then did Gonggong Li let go. Yang Qiuchi took the brocade shaft, unfolded it and looked at it again, this beauty in his heart, he became an official, he finally became an official, haha, Mr. Bai Qian, now your daughter is my concubine, it's not a grievance, right? Hahaha. It's just that I don't know how many officials this envoy is, and just as he was about to ask, Gonggong Li had already said, "Lord Yang, please get up and speak." ”

Yang Qiuchi quickly stood up, rolled up the brocade scroll, and held it in his hand.

Gonggong Li picked up the small brocade box on the table and handed it to Yang Qiuchi.

What kind of treasure is this? It's too late to ask, let's take a look first, Yang Qiuchi respectfully stuffed the brocade shaft of the holy decree into his arms, and opened the brocade box with both hands, only to see that there was a yellow ivory waist card inside, oval, with a flying dragon moire pattern ornament embossed at the upper end, and a round hole, which was used to wear a rope. Above the front of the card, the horizontal row of shallow carved regular script "Jin Yiwei Commander Special Envoy Yang Qiuchi" words, the left vertical row of shallow carved regular script 'Jin Special Word No. 1', the right vertical carved seal book 'Guan Fang' two words. The middle of the reverse side is lightly engraved with two lines of regular script, "the arrest of the whole of the order, all those who disobey the order, first cut and then play." The left ridge is shallowly engraved in regular script: 'Yongle seven years made'.

Yang Qiuchi picked up the waist card and turned it upside down to look at it, there was his name on it, he didn't know what was going on, and asked: "Gonggong Li, this is ......?"

"This is your brocade guard card."

"Huh? My brocade guard waist card? Yang Qiuchi exclaimed.

"Yes, after the commander Ji listened to your investigation of the Jianwen Yu Dang case, he personally interrogated Wang Yue and others, and also checked the corpses of Hong Ying and others, the head of the Jianwen Da Nei guard, and praised your merits, and specially reported this matter to the emperor."

"It has been several years since the escape of the Jianwen Yu Party, and they have been secretly active, murdering and plotting against important ministers of our court. Although several years of pursuit, with little success, the emperor has been worried about this matter, Lord Yang this time successively captured the core figures of Jianwen Yu Party, the emperor Longyan Dayue, originally wanted to recruit you into the palace and personally reward, but considering that the bandit leader has not yet been caught in the net, this matter still needs to be hidden, so he sent the old slave to issue a decree. I personally appointed you as the commander and envoy, and I was fully responsible for solving the Jianwen case. ”

Yes? Yang Qiuchi was surprised and delighted, but he didn't know what kind of official this envoy was, so he asked a little embarrassedly, "How many officials is this envoy?" Now that he cares about this the most, as a big official, Bai Qian will not underestimate himself.

"Wupin," Gonggong Li smiled, "but it is bigger than any official of Jinyiwei, you are now in Jinyiwei, that is one person under ten thousand people, directly under the command of Master Ji." In the case of Jianwen, when you need to call the Jinyi Guard, you only need to show this card, and all the Jinyi Guards will listen to the order as one. After a pause, he said word by word: "Lord Yang, as a special envoy, you have the power to cut first and then play!" Your privilege is to command Master Ji to ask the emperor for permission. Anyone who resists the order, whether it is Jinyi Wei or government personnel, can be cut first and then played! ”

No way! Chop before play? The emperor personally approved it, so dragged! If it doesn't please the eye, kill! After killing, just find a reason. Haha, cool! Yang Qiuchi felt his blood boiling.

Gonggong Li said in a low voice: "The Fusi of Beizhen has jointly issued an official document with the Ministry of Officials and the Criminal Department, informing the Yamen of the Jinyi Guard and the Yamen of the various political yamen, prefectures, prefectures and counties of this matter, but for the sake of secrecy, I did not say your name. ”

Yang Qiuchi nodded, which means that Jinyiwei and the government both know that there is a special envoy in charge of the Jianwen case, but they don't know that this envoy is me Yang Qiuchi.

Gonggong Li picked up the birdcage covered with a black cloth from the table next to him and handed it to Yang Qiuchi: "There are two carrier pigeons here, when you have any confidential matters to report, you can directly fly the pigeon and pass it to Master Ji." After the letter, the pigeon will fly back on its own. Can be used over and over again. Master Ji gave you instructions, and it was also passed directly through this carrier pigeon. Do you understand? ”

Yang Qiuchi nodded, took the small cage, lifted a small corner of the black cloth, and looked inside, only to see two white pigeons inside, and when they saw the light, they cooed.

Gonggong Li said again: "Master Ji knows that the Jianwen case lasted for many years, and the Jianwen Yu Party was very deep, and it was not possible to solve it overnight, so I didn't give you a time limit for solving the case, I just hope that you will fulfill your duties and strive to solve the case as soon as possible." ”

No deadline? That's good, now it's the envoy of the Jinyi Guard, one person is above 10,000 people, and the wind is windy and rainy, cool and crooked. Yang Qiuchi was happy, and even the sorrow that had come a lot lightened a lot.

Gonggong Li said again: "However, the relationship between Jianwen Yu Party and the current emperor Lord Yang must also be very clear, and the commander Ji emphasized that this matter is related to the national system and must not be upheld, and I don't know who else in the court is this Jianwen Yu, so you can only secretly visit, including the old slave who came this time, and the local government does not know." This matter must be kept secret, and this waist card cannot be used lightly, remember to remember! ”

Yes? Yang Qiuchi was dumbfounded, and he still hoped to use this waist card to show Bai Qian, but now it's good, I can't say it, I can't say that I still show a fart.

Gonggong Li walked to the door, opened the door, whispered a few words to the guards, the guards bowed away, and after a while, five brocade guards wearing flying fish suits came in outside the door, the first one was a burly man, in his forties, with a beard on his face, and bowed to the two of them: "See Gonggong Li for the humble position, and see the special envoy Lord Yang for the humble position." ”

Does this know me? Yang Qiuchi was called a special envoy for the first time, and he felt very fresh.

Gonggong Li introduced: "This is the Lord of the Hundred Households of Jinyi Wei in Ningguo Mansion. ”

Hundreds of households in brocade clothes? This person is Ma Du's former boss, the leader of the Jinyi Wei of Ning Guofu? Yang Qiuchi was surprised and delighted, he heard Ma Du say that Jinyi Wei Baihu is a six-rank official, the same as Bai Qian's chief official, and it feels really cool to see him as a subordinate courtesy. hurriedly clenched his fists and returned the salute.

"Lord Niu, in the future, you must do everything you can to do what the special envoy Yang instructs." Gonggong Li said with a smile.

Niu Baihu bowed again: "Humble obedience!" Whatever the envoy commands, he will do his best to do so. Please rest assured, father-in-law, please rest assured! After that, he turned around and pointed to the four Jinyi guards behind him, "These are the four capable generals under the humble position, headed by the Jinyi Wei Xiaoqi of the official residence Ningguo Mansion, and the envoy can call him Hou Xiaoqi." It is suggested that the four of them should disguise themselves as servants and follow the envoy so that they can be sent at any time. I wonder if it's appropriate? ”

Yang Qiuchi said with a smile: "That's good, it's just that my salary is low, I'm afraid I don't have so much money to bear these expenses." ”

Gonggong Li laughed and patted Yang Qiuchi on the shoulder: "Don't worry about this question, Lord Yang, I still have two good things to tell you, and when you listen to it, you won't worry about money." ”

"Oh?" Yang Qiuchi became interested and asked, "What's a good thing?" Grandpa Li. ”

Gonggong Li took out a stack of papers from his arms and handed it to Yang Qiuchi. Yang Qiuchi took it and took a look, and saw that it was some land deeds, house deeds and the like, and he didn't understand it.

Father-in-law Li smiled: "These are the deed of the old man He's house in Guangde County and the deed of thousands of acres of land. Master Ji said that Lord Yang has made meritorious contributions in solving this case and should be commended, but because you want to continue to secretly solve the Jianwen case, it is not appropriate to give you an official promotion, and I will give you all the family property and land of Mrs. He. Of course, in order to hide people's eyes, we only said to the local government that you paid for it. ”
