86_86695In the past half month, Lu Ping, a Jinyi Wei Xiaoqi subordinate to Jingzhou Jinyi Wei Qianhu, can be said to be worse than dead.

Lu Ping is from a family of Jinyi Wei. His Lao Tzu, his Lao Tzu's Lao Tzu, his Lao Tzu's Lao Tzu, Lao Tzu's Lao Tzu, are all Jinyi Wei. Among the four generations, only Lu Ping's head seems to have been blessed by his ancestors, and he is a little smarter. Although the martial arts are scarce, tracking, detective, interrogation, and spying, these housekeeping skills left by his ancestors, Lu Ping can only be regarded as so-so. But in the eyes of outsiders, Lu Ping is indeed a person with a good mind.

In fact, Lu Ping himself knows that his intelligence level can only be regarded as a middle and lower level. The reason why he was able to stand out among the groups of ordinary wrestlers and become a small flag. The main reason is that I am good at observation and good at summarizing.

Since the beginning of Wanli, Lu Ping has often heard his grandfather and father often talk about the reality that Jinyiwei is becoming more and more depressed. Unlike his stone-headed grandfather and father, Lu Ping did not think that the decline of Jinyiwei was inevitable. He believes that the reason why the prestige of Jinyiwei in the early years of Wanli is becoming more and more sweeping is that there is no big boss as a backer.

Lu Ping summed up an experience from the chatter between his grandfather and father over the years, whenever the emperor above was a strong person, Jinyiwei was often able to become majestic. For example, when Emperor Jiajing was in power, Jinyiwei was very majestic. If the emperor above is a doughy character like Emperor Longqing, he will not stand out for Jinyiwei. Then, Jin Yiwei will be down.

Lu Ping, with his uneducated head, came up with a simple truth: whether it is an individual or a group, if they are "widows sleeping - there is no one above". Well, neither this person nor this group will have a good life. After realizing this truth, Lu Ping spent the first half of his life looking for his own backer.

However, even if Jinyiwei was one of the important forces of the violent organs of the Ming Dynasty, even if Jinyiwei was a powerful yamen in the eyes of ordinary people. However, on the one hand, because of Zhang Juzheng and Zhang Xiangye's strength, Jinyiwei was completely sluggish in front of civilian forces. On the other hand, as an ordinary Jinyi Weilishi, a lowest-level Jinyi Wei staff. Lu Ping can't get in touch with the kind of powerful person who can become his backer.

Lu Ping inherited his father's business from the age of nineteen and became an ordinary wrestler in the Jingzhou Thousand Households Institute of Jinyi Wei until he was thirty-five years old. It took him sixteen years to get an opportunity to get in touch with the big guys. By chance, he got acquainted with the eldest young master Zhang Tianlu, the nephew of Zhang Wenda, the secretary of the household department.

With his clever mouth and knowledge of the streets of Jingzhou Mansion, he became one of Zhang Tianlu's main followers in Jingzhou Mansion. After that, with Zhang Tianlu's influence in Jingzhou Mansion and even in the entire administrative system of the Ming Dynasty, Lu Ping became the small banner of Jinyi Wei that his ancestors did not dare to look at for several generations.

Just when Lu Ping tried his best to flatter Zhang Tianlu, hoping that he could go further in the Jinyiwei system. Young Master Zhang suddenly made a request to him. Zhang Tianlu ordered Lu Ping to take a few trustworthy brothers to a small county town called Zhijiang County below to collect evidence about the son-in-law of the king of Zhijiang, a royal guest named Wang Shuhui.

Lu Ping's opinion of the vassal king has always been in a state of chaos. Back then, when Zhang Juzheng and Zhang Xiangye were still on stage, the vassal kings of the entire Huguang lived like a turtle with a shrunken head. Lu Ping has seen with his own eyes that King Jing, who is theoretically the most noble in Jingzhou Mansion, once personally sent a steward of Zhang Xiangye's old mansion out of the gate of the palace. At that time, the vassal kings in the Huguang area, whenever Zhang Xiangye's father celebrated his birthday, would personally go to the old house of the Zhang family to send congratulatory gifts to Mrs. Zhang and pay homage to his birthday.

But on the other hand, the vassal clans in the Huguang area also caused the "Chuzong Rebellion" that implicated the entire Huguang officialdom more than ten years ago. At that time, Lu Ping's supreme governor, the thousand households of the Jinyi Wei Jingzhou Wei Qianhu, once lectured all the Jinyi guards of the thousand households, saying that it was the affairs of the vassal kings, and they could not be involved.

In Lu Ping's eyes, the power of civil officials is great, but the power of the vassal kings is not small. He can't afford to offend civil officials, and he can't afford to offend vassal kings. What's more, Lu Ping also has his own sources of information. It is said that the Wanli Emperor has a very good impression of this Zhijiang King, and even the daughter and son-in-law of the Zhijiang King are also deeply loved by the Wanli Emperor.

Not to mention anything else, the county lord guest named Wang Shuhui was seen by Lu Ping in the report in the Jinyi Wei system. He was awarded the highest official rank in the Jinyi Guard system, the commander of the Jinyi Guard. Although, even Lu Ping knew that it was a false seal, and Wang Shuhui did not even have a brocade guard under his hands. However, he is also the commander of the brocade guard.

Although Lu Ping has experienced psychological entanglement, Lu Ping is Lu Ping after all, and Lu Ping is a smart person who is good at observing life and summing up experience, and can stand out among the brocade guards. He clearly knows the truth that "county officials are not as good as being in charge".

In Lu Ping's mind, no matter how big Wang Shuhui and Wang Yibin are, no matter how terrifying the name of the commander of Jinyiwei is, it will not involve the life and death of him, the lowest small civil servant in the bureaucratic system of the Ming Dynasty. However, the eldest young master Zhang Tianlu is directly related to whether he can go further and get ahead. Emperor Wanli is certainly a god like the emperor, and Emperor Wanli certainly likes King Zhijiang and the guest of honor in his house, Wang Shuhui. However, neither the Wanli Emperor nor the vassal king Yibin will provide him with the opportunity to be promoted and make a fortune.

Besides, the Emperor of Heaven is certainly wise and martial, but it is the people below who are in charge. For example, there is an internal allusion circulating within the Jinyiwei system. It is said that the tea leaves for the emperors in the palace are often old teas from previous years. The reason is very simple, the inner supervisors don't want to raise the emperor's mouth.

It can be seen from this that no matter how wise and martial the Emperor of Heaven is, he will be fooled by the maggot-like inner supervisors below. Therefore, Lu Ping was still able to make the right choice. Between offending a guest of honor in the vassal prince's mansion that he didn't know, and offending his own food and clothing parents, and his own big backer who was promoted to make a fortune, he clearly chose the former.

Lu Ping led three of them in the Jinyi Wei Jingzhou Thousand Households, and it is said that he is the best subordinate of the professional Su zhì, and after coming to Zhijiang County, he found that things here are different from Jingzhou Mansion in every way.

Zhijiang County is just like the ordinary county town in his impression, it is a small place that is not very lively and there are not many people. However, the clean Cheng dù in this county is something that Lu Ping has never seen. Moreover, there is not a single idler on the streets of Zhijiang County. Even the children running around the streets, although they were all dressed in tattered clothes, they were all ruddy and cleanly dressed.

The children's su zhì was extremely high, and none of them came forward to ask them for money or things. However, they followed the four of them in groups, and they followed wherever they went, and they couldn't get rid of them.

Until Lu Ping found out that there was only one inn in the county, and the price was amazingly high, and it was the property of Zhijiang Wangfu. The four Lu Ping, who were afraid of revealing their identities, decided to leave the city and stay in Dongtankou Market Town on the Yangtze River outside the city under the guidance of the children.

As soon as the four of them left the city, they were intercepted by a group of armed men wearing gray half-length short-sleeved robes with cross-collared sleeves, wide belts around their waists, and large black gauze hats on their heads. Two of the four people think they are strong in martial arts, and they still want to compare with others. Unexpectedly, as soon as the two took out the dagger hidden in their waists, they were used by the people to use a repeating short gun (a replica of the Colt M1851 revolver equipped by Wang Shuhui for the political security police, produced by the newly established Jiangbei Arsenal), and opened seven or eight holes in their bodies.

Seeing this situation, Lu Ping, who was immediately frightened and peed his pants and surrendered, didn't know that he was sold by those children running around the street (students of Fuxing Primary School in Zhijiang County). They didn't have nothing to do, and they followed Lu Ping. The children who are on vacation every three days are a group of part-time little sighs. They received the copper plates from the Joint Guards of the Intelligence Committee.

Lupin and his only surviving subordinates were far inferior to the Portuguese-Spanish missionary (Portugal had been annexed by Spain) Ovaro Semerdo aka Tselutaka Tseng De Zhaolai.

After being pressed into the dungeon by the political security police, in the regular interrogation at the beginning, Lu Ping had already confessed his identity as Jinyiwei. The interrogators who heard the news were also excited. They learned in the political and common sense class that this brocade guard of the imperial court can be regarded as one of the few peers in their era.

However, Lu Ping, the Jinyiwei who hugged the thigh of the nephew of the civil official in order to be promoted, still disappointed the interrogators. In Li Erniu's words, "It is not as difficult to interrogate this thing as it is to interrogate the spies of bandits from other places." ”

Lu Ping is indeed not very powerful. The interrogators had only used two methods, and before the five hand breaks in the regular interrogation procedure were completed, he told everything. In the later questioning, whether it was the purpose of his coming or Zhang Tianlu's identity. Whether it's how he got his brocade clothes and Wei Xiaoqi, or what bad things he did when he was a child. What did Lu Ping say, which made the interrogators extremely unaccomplished.

On the contrary, it was Lu Ping's only surviving subordinate, who showed the basic qualities that a brocade guard should have. He spat after nine interrogations.

Lu Ping's subordinate pointed out in a later confession that as a professional interrogator in the Jinyi Wei Jingzhou Qianhu Office, he expressed great indignation at the behavior of Wang Shuhui's interrogators.

In his words, the interrogation of their Jinyi guards was a full range of means, but the purpose of their interrogation was to make the interrogated confess that he had committed a crime or not a crime. The interrogators of the interrogation center are completely mechanical in the execution of the interrogation. Whatever it is, ask questions first and then use the means. When you try someone, you have to convict someone first.

In the eyes of this professional interrogator of Jinyiwei, it is really torturous to ask nothing and use methods there without saying a word. The reason why he was able to survive the nine means was not how loyal and unyielding he was. Instead, as an interrogator of Jinyiwei, his original fixed thinking influenced him.

He thought that the purpose of the interrogation was to frame him. Where do you think, the purpose of the interrogators is to obtain information. He's still waiting for the interrogators to charge him with a crime, so he can confess immediately. Unexpectedly, after being tossed for a long time, people didn't mention this stubble at all
