Wearing a black veil, a green regimental collar shirt, soap boots, and a black horn belt, in the mirror, a personable young man, but in that smile, there is still a bit of greenness.

On weekdays, when he went to Yuwang's Mansion as an accompaniment, Yu Jin was wearing civilian clothes and had no chance to participate in the court meeting, so he didn't have much chance to wear this official robe.

Jiupin is the lowest petty official, barely entering the product, and he can be regarded as having an official body, so that he doesn't have to kneel at every turn, and he doesn't have to call himself a "villain" when he sees those officials, he can call himself a "lower official".

"Young master, you are really majestic in this official robe." Xiao Man praised while tidying up Yu Jin's clothes.

Xiao Mu's eyes were about to pop up with little stars, and when he heard this, he echoed: "Wearing this dress, the young master will become an official master, well, the young master looks good in this official uniform." ”

The two little maids rarely see Yu Jin wearing official uniforms, they all say that horses rely on saddles, people rely on clothes, Yu Jin's appearance is not bad, wearing this brand new official robe, it adds a lot of points to the image, Xiao Man and Xiao Mu see that little face is a little red and simple.

"What's so good about this green skin, if it is changed into a scarlet robe, then the complement is replaced by an embroidered peacock or a cloud goose, it will be about the same." Qing'er was knocking melon seeds on the side, and said with some disdain.

The peacock is the patent of the third-grade civil official, Yunyan is almost a little, and it is also the exclusive of the fourth-grade civil official, for a nine-grade small civil official, from the ninth grade to the third grade, it is simply a long journey.

Listening to her tone, it seemed that changing into an official robe was as simple as eating a meal, and Yu Jin was speechless.

This girl just likes to splash cold water when others are happy.

Yu Jin was used to it, so he didn't hear it, Xiao Man and Xiao Mu heard it. They all stuck out their tongues and didn't say anything more.

"Young master, there is a Jinyi guard official surnamed Liu outside the door who wants to see you, and the little one has already led him to the living room." Just finished dressing, Ah Zhong reported it.

"Okay, I'll go out and have a look right away."

Yu Jin knew. This is the person sent by Zhu Xizhong to assist him.

The efficiency is not generally high.

Yu went in and out of the outside, only to see a middle-aged man wearing a flying fish suit and holding an embroidered spring knife standing in the living room and looking around, seeing Yu coming in, he smiled and saluted: "Yu school book is good." ”

"This person's surname is Liu, his name is guarded, and after the famous family, he is currently the commander of the Jinyi Guard, and he is a role in the Jinyi Guard." Qing'er explained in Yu Jin's ear at the right time.

Liu Shouyou?

Yu Jin's whole person froze: What a coincidence, isn't this the next commander of the Jinyi Guard?

Liu Shou has average ability, and he is not very famous in the history of the Ming Dynasty. However, he is better than his family background, his grandfather Liu Tianhe is a doctor, born in Jinshi, the official Zhishang Shu plus Taibao, after his death, he gave Shaobao, Zhuang Xiang, and his father Liu Cang, served as the imperial history. is also an important minister in the court, and the official reputation of both of them is very good. This gives Liu Shou a good background.

is not a famous family, but also a son of a famous courtier.

Zhu Xizhong retreated into the background, Jinyiwei was his world, how did he plan to get close to him, but he didn't expect that Zhu Xi's call to send someone to help him was him.

"Yu school book, Yu school book. Are you okay? Seeing Yu Jin looking straight at him, Liu Shouyou was a little strange, and seeing that Yu Jin didn't speak for a long time, he couldn't help but say.

As he spoke, he touched his face. I thought I had something dirty on my face.

"Young Master" Qing'er saw that Yu Jin was distracted, gently pulled Yu Jin's hand, and reminded in a low voice.

Yu Jin came back to his senses at this time, smiled a little embarrassedly, and explained while saluting Liu Shouyou: "Lord Liu, I missed the distance, I saw the adult just now, I felt very similar to an old man, I lost my mind for a while, and I ask the adult to forgive me." ”=

"Oh, and that matter?"

"Yes, it does." Yu Jin said with a serious face.

Liu Shouyou didn't doubt it, and laughed: "I didn't expect this kind of thing, in fact, Liu Mou was also very kind when he saw Yu Xiaoshu, it seems that we are very fateful." ”

is not ashamed to be the son of a famous courtier, just that demeanor and self-cultivation make many people sigh to themselves, speak decently, behave generously, and make people feel like a spring breeze between the words.

Jin Yiwei's commanding officer, that is the fourth grade, I don't know how much higher than Yu Jin, the nine-rank elementary school book, but he calls himself Liu, not the official, which inadvertently shortens the distance between the two a lot.

It can be heard from these words that Liu Shouyou also has a good impression of Yu Jin.

This made Yu Jin's first impression of him much better.

In these years, talented men have always been popular and respected, Yu Jin is famous, escorted by Zhao Jin, and mingled with Zhu Xizhong and King Yu, or a person close to King Yu, and the future is limitless, which is the reason why Liu Shou is polite as soon as he enters the door.

In Yu Jin's eyes, Liu Shouyou is a "strange commodity", and in Liu Shouyou's eyes, Yu Jin is also a worthy befriender.

The thoughts of the two can be said to coincide.

Yu Jin's heart moved when he heard this, and he said with some "embarrassment": "Don't dare to hide it, in fact, Lord Shishi is a bit like the deceased eldest brother of Xiaguan." ”

"Then don't call it an adult, it looks like a raw person" Liu Shouyou said with a straight face: "We are people of temperament, and we are so fated, it is better to be called brothers." ”

It's really beating snakes with sticks, Yu Jin showed a little bit of tone, and this famous courtier's son immediately hit snakes with sticks, and Yu Jin called him a brother.

Yu Jin pretended to hesitate and said: "This, Yu is just a small school book of the ninth grade, from a poor family, and the adult is from a famous family, and he is a commander, and the future is unlimited, so I really dare not climb high." ”

"Where is it, Brother Yu is a talented man, the pillar of the Ming Dynasty, Liu is actually a rough man, and he can have today, all of them rely on his father's shadow, and it is Liu who climbs high." Liu Shouyou immediately responded.

This is a good thing to say, it is comprehensive, it not only expresses the meaning, but also shortens the distance.

No wonder there are so many children of the official family, but there are really few people like Liu Shouyou who mix so well.

Although Liu Shouyou was born in a family of eunuchs, he does not have that kind of stubborn problem, his character is still there, and he has no bad deeds during his reign, plus he has a wide range of contacts, and he belongs to the kind of person who can eat very well. It's not a bad thing to make friends with this kind of person.

Yu Jin immediately said: "Brother Liu, you have worked hard all the way, come, please take a seat." ”

"Sit together" Liu Shouyou pulled Yu Jin to sit down, tore a crystal clear jade pendant from his body and said, "First meeting." There is no preparation, this should be regarded as a meeting gift, your eldest brother is a few ranks higher than you, but that bit of money is not comparable to you, a rich man, don't dislike it. ”

Yu Jin was so refreshing, Liu Shouyou was a little overjoyed, and gave away all the meeting gifts on the spot, confirming this relationship.

Don't look at Yu Jin is just a Jiupin elementary school book, but Liu Shouyou, who is well-informed, knows it. Chengguo Gong and King Yu attach great importance to him, especially King Yu, Yu Jin has made great contributions to King Yu's Mansion several times, and when King Yu ascends the throne, that is when his little brother becomes famous.

There was still a trace of scruples in front of him, but after proving that the letter was a forgery, Yuwang's status was once again as stable as Mount Tai, as a high-level member of Jinyiwei. Liu Shou still has this convenience.

Besides, Yu Jin is still an out-and-out rich man. The Yujing produced by the outlying islands is the only one in the world, and the dividends given to Zhu Xizhong, the Duke of Chengguo, during the Chinese New Year, are counted in cars, who is not red-eyed?

So, make friends. Liu Shouyou is not ordinarily resolute.

Yu Jin said gratefully: "What's the matter, the eldest brother doesn't dislike the younger brother, the younger brother doesn't know what to do, you see, there is nothing to take advantage of for a while." Brother Liu, the younger brother will present the meeting gift later. ”

"Hehe, in fact, you don't have to be so polite, our brothers, talk about the heart and not the gold."

"Yes, yes, talk about the heart and not about the gold."

The two talked and laughed, and they chatted for more than a quarter of an hour, and the relationship was so good that it was even closer than brothers.

Not only Xiao Man and Xiao Mu, but also Qing'er, Deng Yong and others also looked at each other: these two are really the legendary love at first sight? No, it hit it off at first sight?

Yu Jin and Liu Shouyou exchanged pleasantries for a while, and then they cut to the chase.

"Brother Yu, this time the adults ordered me to cooperate with you to enter the palace to investigate, I don't know where you want to start?" With a brotherly relationship, Liu Shouyou speaks more casually.

"Not right"

"What's wrong?" Liu Shouyou was taken aback.

Yu Jin said with a straight face: "It's right for the younger brother to assist the eldest brother, after all, the younger brother was asked by the Guogong to help." ”

"But, my lord, I asked me to cooperate with my brother."

"Brother Liu" Yu Jin lowered his voice and said: "There are some things that are not convenient to tell you for the time being, but the younger brother feels that it is more appropriate for the eldest brother to take the credit." ”

"But"

Yu Jin saw that he was a little hesitant, and said in his ear again: "The younger brother has made meritorious service in front, the position is too low, even if he stands more, it is estimated that there will be more rewards, if the eldest brother has made meritorious service, the benefits are unimaginable, big brother, you think about it, Guogong is a high power, and then he is in charge of the brocade guard, it is definitely not suitable, so Zhu Guogong is just making a transition, the position of the commander will soon be relinquished, if the eldest brother performs outstandingly, maybe"

Liu Shouyou's spirit was shocked, and he looked at Yu Jin's eyes with a little more sincerity and gratitude.

He had thought about this question for a long time, and he had been active, he didn't expect that Yu Jin, who had just made a verbal acquaintance, would put himself in such a position for his own sake, which was really rare.

Do you really think of yourself as a brother?

"Brother Yu is really righteous, but this matter is complicated, whether it is merit or hardship, I don't know yet" Liu Shouyou sighed: "Now my brother does not seek merit, but seeks no fault." ”

Under Yu Jin's questioning, Liu Shouyou spread out everything he knew.

It's not a good job.

Those who live in the harem are the emperor's women, those palace maids and eunuchs are better to say, their status is not high, and they are quite cooperative with the interrogation of Jinyiwei, and those concubines, when it comes to inquiry, they are the first two big.

For the trial of the case, the punishment is combined with the psychological offensive, and then according to the experience, as long as the psychological defense line of the prisoner is broken, then everything becomes easy and simple, and sometimes the prisoner is directly intimidated by the momentum of the interrogator, and confesses himself before the trial.

These are completely useless to the concubines of the harem.

The doctor sees a doctor, but also has to be through the curtain, a little more mysterious, that to the golden thread to probe the pulse, Jinyi Wei to investigate the case, not to mention the torture, even people can't see it, first a salute, and then through several layers of bead curtains carefully asked, in the middle of the words have to pay attention to words, accidentally say the wrong thing, but also have to hit the mouth, if the answer is slow, you have to be patient and wait, sometimes the voice is small and not clear, and I don't know how to open my mouth to let those noble concubines say it again.

If you meet someone with a good temper and is willing to cooperate, it is quite smooth to ask something, but if you meet someone with a bad temper and suspicion, you can't say a word, you cry and make trouble inside, and you are injured by something that flies out, and you have to think that you are unlucky.

In a word, there are walls everywhere.

"How's the situation with Concubine Lu Jing?" Yu Jin immediately picked out the key points.

Related to King Yu, nine times out of ten it is related to King Jing, the world wants to say that King Yu is not good, that is, King Jing who wants to compete with King Yu for the throne, this Jinshan Night Festival incident, there are a lot of movements in the harem, Concubine Lu Jing, as King Jing's biological mother, will definitely not stay out of the matter.

At this point, Jinyiwei will not let go easily.

Liu Shouyou knew that Yu Jin would ask this question, and he had already made preparations: "Concubine Lu Jing has always won the favor of the emperor and has a very high status in the harem, and she has a good relationship with Concubine Zheng Guifei, who is in charge of the backyard, and she is very cooperative with this investigation, but we don't have any evidence." ”

Careful inquiry, no execution, no search, if the evidence is easily found, it would be strange.

Yu Jin thought for a moment and continued to ask, "What is wrong with Concubine Lu Jing recently?" ”

"Before the Chinese New Year, Concubine Lu Jing went out of the palace to worship the Buddha in Tanzhe Temple, and we have investigated this matter, she was alone throughout the whole process, and she did not contact anyone, and there was nothing suspicious."

"Concubine Lu Jing has the habit of worshipping Buddha on incense?" Yu Jin asked.

Liu Shouyou said with certainty: "Yes, I will go out of the palace to worship several times a year, Brother Yu, you also know that the palace is so big, if there is a chance, these concubines will take the opportunity to go out of the palace to relax." ”

Although the palace is big, but as a concubine, you can't go to the end, no matter how beautiful the place is, it will be annoying to see too much, and you can go out of the palace to see, it is estimated that you will not miss any of them.

However, I didn't go out to worship until the New Year, and the palace was also busy at that time, right?

"Brother Liu, did An Lu reply from there?"

"Not yet, I guess it's coming soon, Brother Yu, don't you suspect that the one is coming?" Liu Shouyou asked curiously.

Yu Jin said with a smile: "It's hard to say, that person's courage has always been very big, his power in the capital has suffered a heavy blow, and the situation is getting more and more unfavorable for him, maybe he can't make a desperate bet." ”

"Hehe, it's better not to show up, the vassal king leaves the domain without permission, this is a big crime." After Liu Shouyou finished speaking, he turned his head to Yu Jin and said: "Brother Yu, it's not too early, it's time for us to go, no matter how much we say, let's go to the palace to have a look, see what we have gained, what is the matter, we will talk while walking." ”

No matter how much is said here, it is only speculation, and everything must be evidenced.

Yu Jin nodded and said, "Okay, Brother Liu, please." (To be continued.) )
