Chapter 218: Harvesting Yin and Replenishing Yang (Four Watches)

Jinyiwei is basically under the jurisdiction of the East Factory, which is not wrong, so when Jiang Xia said that Liu Jin is "in charge of the ceremonial supervisor inside, and in charge of the East Factory outside, commanding the Jinyi Guard, and Weizhen Jingshi, it is really enviable to be so majestic." Liu Jin didn't feel anything, so he nodded in response.

However, the so-called unintentional listener intentionally said, Jiang Xia's sentence of "commanding Jinyiwei" directly put the subordination between Dongchang and Jinyiwei on the surface.

You must know that Jinyi Wei was founded by Emperor Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang, and has existed from the founding of the Ming Dynasty to this day. And similar to institutions such as the East Factory and the West Factory, which were ruled by eunuchs, it was only in the Yongle period that they began to appear, and there were several ups and downs, some dynasties had it, and some dynasties did not.

Therefore, in terms of heritage, the East Factory is not as good as Jinyiwei at all.

Besides, the predecessor of this brocade guard was the "Gong Wei Division", and they belonged to the military system back to their origins, and it was not their turn to be a group of eunuchs to take care of them.

It's just that the affairs of Dongchang and Jinyiwei overlap a lot, and the two often need to cooperate with each other. And Liu Jin is deeply trusted and favored by Zhu Houzhao, and he often accompanies Zhu Houzhao, and his voice in front of Zhu Houzhao is much heavier than Huang Feiyue. It is precisely for this reason that Huang Feiyue is jealous of Liu Jin and tries to follow him in many things.

However, compliance does not mean subordination, he Huang Feiyue is a member of the third grade, and how many of the civil and military officials will not be afraid of him? It would be an absolute insult for him to admit that he was under the control of a superintendent.

It's just that Huang Feiyue's thoughts, Jiangxia understands, but Liu Jin has always felt that Dongchang and Jinyiwei are subordinate to each other deep down, so he didn't think much about it, but he responded to Jiangxia's sentence of "commanding Jinyiwei".

Jiang Xia smiled slightly, clasped his fists at Liu Jin and Huang Feiyue and saluted, "Father-in-law Liu, Lord Huang, retire below." ”

After speaking, Jiang Xia left first.

Liu Jin looked at Jiang Xia's departing back and sneered, and he said in a low voice: "The villain has ambition and is incoherent. ”

After speaking, Liu Jin turned to Huang Feiyue and said with a smile: "Lord Huang, it's still early, why don't we go to Mingyue Tower for a cup of tea first, and by the way, how about how to arrest the flower thief?" ”

Huang Feiyue glanced at Liu Jin deeply, shook his head and said: "Back to my lord, my subordinates still have important things to do, so I won't disturb my lord's precious time, my subordinates will retire first, please forgive my subordinates for being rude." ”

After Huang Feiyue finished speaking, he turned around and left.

Liu Jin was slightly stunned, generally speaking, Huang Feiyue called him "father-in-law", which is also an honorific title, but Huang Feiyue never called him "adult". With Liu Jin's insight, how could he not understand that Huang Feiyue was expressing his dissatisfaction.

He carefully recalled Jiang Xia's words just now, and then he realized that he was actually yin by Jiang Xia once.

That Jiang Xia was too cunning, only the five words "commanding Jinyiwei" in his long paragraph were traps, and there was no other ambiguity in the rest, so Liu Jin didn't notice it and fell into the trap all at once.

A cold light flashed in Liu Jin's eyes, and he shouted coldly: "Jiang Xia! ”

At this moment, Jiang Xia had already taken Bu Jinyun and Yu Ren of the royal family dragon detective to the Dingguo Mansion.

can run through the word "Dingguo", which shows that this family was a courtier who had made great achievements during the founding of the country. Indeed, this family is the descendant of Jiangyin Hong Kaiji.

Hong Kaiji is not famous in history, because he has not fought any classic battles, and he is not a general who stands alone.

In fact, he is the commander of Zhu Yuanzhang's personal guards, and in the days when he accompanied Zhu Yuanzhang in the southern and northern wars, he used his body to block swords and arrows for Zhu Yuanzhang five times, if it weren't for him, I'm afraid Zhu Yuanzhang would have died a long time ago.

Therefore, after Zhu Yuanzhang established the country, he made him the Duke of Dingguo, and allowed his descendants to inherit this title.

The Dingguo Mansion was given by Zhu Yuanzhang, a high-gate compound, covering a vast area and extraordinary style.

Bu Jinyun knocked on the door of the Guogong Mansion, and after a while, a small door under the gate opened, and the porter stuck out his head and asked, "You are"

Geng Zhongqiu, who was standing beside Jiang Xia, took out the token of the royal family dragon detective from his arms and said: "Imperial family dragon detective, I came to thoroughly investigate the matter of your eldest lady's being paid by the emperor's order. ”

The word "picking flowers" Geng Mid-Autumn Festival failed to say it after all.

However, the porter understood, and he quickly nodded and said, "Everyone, please wait, I will go and tell my master immediately." ”

"Okay." Jiang Xia nodded.

After a while, the middle door of the Dingguo Mansion opened, which was a kind of goodwill.

Those who understand know that in ancient times, there were side doors next to the doors of slightly powerful people's houses, and the middle gate was the main gate in the middle. In ancient times, the hierarchy was strict, and there were rules on who went through what door, such as a slave who could only go through the back door, such as marrying a concubine could only go through the side door, and when marrying a wife or welcoming a distinguished guest, he must go through the middle door, and the middle door was wide open to show a kind of respect.

Jiang Xia nodded to the few people beside him, and then took the lead and walked in.

In the front yard, an old man came up with several middle-aged people. The old man asked, "May I ask which one is Jiang Xia, the leader of the royal dragon detective?" ”

"Grandpa, Jiang Xia is down there." Jiang Xia took two steps forward and saluted the old man. He had seen the portrait of Dingguo Gong when he was reading the information of the flower thief in the royal dragon scout, so he recognized him at a sight.

Dingguo Gong Hongtao said with some excitement: "Lord Jiang, I have been looking up for a long time, I have trouble you this time." ”

Jiang Xia shook his head, and then said to Hong Tao: "Old man, I don't know where Miss Lu Dao is, can we ask her a little question?" ”

"Alas" Hong Tao shook his head, turned around and pointed: "Lord Jiang, please come with me, you will know the Tao after you have seen it." ”

As soon as Jiang Xia saw Hong Tao's appearance, he guessed that he was afraid that the situation of the eldest lady of the Guogong Mansion was not very good, so he nodded and followed.

Walking all the way to the backyard, Hong Tao pointed to a room.

The room was locked, and there was a miserable cry from inside: "Don't! Go away! Don't come over."

Listening to the hoarse voice, it seems that this eldest lady has been screaming for a long time.

Hong Tao said with a sad face: "It's unfortunate for my family to encounter such a shameful thing. She's been like this since last night, this morning. ”

Jiang Xia nodded and said to Hong Tao, "Grandpa, can you open the door and let me see the eldest lady?" ”

Hong Tao nodded and nodded to a middle-aged man who looked like a housekeeper beside him.

The middle-aged man immediately took out the key and opened the lock.

Jiang Xia was about to walk over when Hong Tao took Jiang Xia's hand and said: "Lord Jiang, you can see through the conspiracy of the three Mongolian princes, your intelligence is well-known in Beijing, and the old man depends on you." ”

Jiang Xia nodded and said seriously: "Grandpa, don't worry, Jiang Xia will definitely go all out." ”

Hong Tao nodded, and Jiang Xia took Yu Ren and Su Meiniang and walked over.

Pushing open the door, the eldest lady of the Hong family immediately hid in the corner, her body curled up into a trembling ball and said, "Don't, don't come."

And at this moment, Su Meiniang suddenly shouted: "Picking yin and supplementing yang? ”
