After Qin Tai knew about this, his first reaction was to incense Duan Xingao. But Qiu Xiaoqiu told Qin Tai that Duan Xingao not only did not have a cemetery left, but also had no family to rely on. The common people also thought about helping Duan Xingao do something, but everyone was powerless. What little savings had been snatched away by the wolf-like officers and soldiers. Duan Xingao's family is thousands of miles away in Yunnan. Everyone had no choice but to secretly set up a well-dressed mound for Lord Duan Xingao. Because Qiu Xiaoqiu didn't dare to say his identity, the residents didn't tell Qiu Xiaoqiu the location.

Not only did Qin Tai not see Duan Xingao, but when he encountered this kind of thing, of course, Qin Tai was a little emotional. Seeing that her husband was about to get angry, Zhan Xiaoxiao hurriedly went up to take Xiao Ping'an away. Zhan Xiaoxiao let Qiu Xiaoqiu leave the room temporarily with Xiao Ping'an in her arms, and at the same time used her internal strength to desperately suppress her husband Qin Tai's anger. Although Zhan Xiaoxiao was also very annoyed at this time, now was not the time to let Qin Tai lose his temper.

Qin Tai finally regained his calm under the suppression of his wife Zhanxiao. But Qin Tai's expression became more and more serious, so Zhan Xiaoxiao was worried. Zhan Xiaoxiao is not a person who does not know her husband Qin Tai, Qin Tai's expression said that he is in charge of this matter, and he must give Duan Xingao a justice. But Qin Tai and Zhan Xiaoxiao are not the Qin Tai and Zhan Xiaoxiao of the past. They have no official proof of the case, nor can they intervene in the investigation of such a case. In addition, this case obviously involves the governor and the Qianhu office, and it is possible that the prefect's yamen, the yamen of the inspection envoy, and the yamen of the political envoy may be connected. Qin Tai's doing so was tantamount to an all-out war with the Hubei, city, and county governments of Hubei. Not only is it not conducive to Qin Tai and his wife, but it is also easy to attract the attention of the capital. At that time, Qin Tai will not be able to solve the case, not to mention, and it is more likely that he will not be able to protect himself.

Qin Tai finally exhaled deeply and handed the envelope handed to him by Zhang Juzheng to his wife Zhan Xiaoxiao. Zhan Xiaoxiao read the contents of the envelope and finally breathed a sigh of relief. But immediately frowned again, and said to her husband Qin Tai: "Xianggong, have you seen clearly? The cabinet asked you to go to Hunan to investigate the case, and it was a secret investigation. You can't be public, and you can't meddle in internal issues with local officials. Let alone meddle in the affairs of Hubei officialdom. Even if you take out this certificate, the officials here will not admit it. Even if they admit it, will you be able to interrogate the governor or the thousand households of the Thousand Households? It is important to know that the questioning or interrogation of these senior officials requires the signature of all members of the Cabinet. Just that high arch would never have agreed. ”

Qin Tai also knew that this certificate was not of much use to officials in Hubei. But it was impossible for him to let Duan Xingao die so infamous and infamous. Whether it is for Xiao Lingzi, or for Duan Xingao, whom he respects, or for the common people, he has to fight with these officials. But what did he rely on to fight these people? He has no one in his hands, no money for money, no power for power, and no backstage for backstage. The other party is strong and strong, and he wants money, food, people, and officials, and there is no shortage at all.

Zhan Xiaoxiao also knew what her husband Qin Tai was worried about, and Zhan Xiaoxiao's eyes suddenly lit up. said to Qin Tai: "Xianggong, that's right. We have a trump card in hand. As he spoke, he took out a jade token. This token with the texture of white jade makes people feel an indescribable depression. But it made Qin Tai feel very comfortable, and Qin Tai felt the importance of power to his case for the first time.

This token is very simple, with a huge "order" on the front, announcing its arrogance with teeth and claws. Behind it are two vertical flying dragons, and in the middle is a carved dragon ball, with the words "Jinyiwei" engraved below. This is the token of Jinyiwei, a token that only the senior management of Jinyiwei can have. As the emperor's direct personal guard, Jinyiwei not only shoulders the responsibility of defending the emperor, but also has the responsibility of handling secret tasks for the emperor. One of the duties of the Jinyi Guard is to supervise the civil and military officials, especially the feudal officials who are in charge of the territory. When Jin Yiwei went out to handle cases, he not only ignored the local officials, but also saw the third level of the official. Each of the official members recognized by Jinyiwei has his own identification. Gold, silver, copper, and iron are the most common, and the iron grade is the lowest, and only the right to follow others to handle cases, not alone. The bronze level has the power to handle cases autonomously, but is not allowed to investigate provincial officials. The silver rank has the power not only to investigate provincial officials, but also to interrogate or question incumbent officials below the fourth grade. The gold level is the most powerful, and it can be on an equal footing with the local feudal officials, and can even temporarily take over the powers of generals or governors. But ordinary officials don't know that there is a jade token above the gold level of Jinyiwei. The person in charge of the jade token is either the high-level of Jinyiwei or the high-level of Jinyiwei. As long as you have a jade token in your hand, you can mobilize any of the four levels of Jinyiwei, gold, silver, copper, and iron.

The token in Zhanxiao's hand is not counterfeit or stolen. Instead, there was a person who took the initiative to give it to Zhanxiao. This person is Feng Bao, the most famous eunuch today, a eunuch head who is not the eunuch who is not the eunuch of the celebrant seal. Although Feng Bao is not yet the head of the inner court, Feng Bao's position is already unbreakable. Feng Bao, with the support of Li Guifei and the crown prince, had already mastered the two major power institutions of Dongchang and Jinyiwei. Even the twenty-four yamen of the inner court were controlled by Feng Bao, so Feng Bao was a eunuch in charge of the inner court who was not the eunuch in charge of the inner court. The reason why Feng Bao curryed favor with Zhan Xiaoxiao was for a reason that outsiders didn't know. Because Zhan has a small belly, this baby will be Feng Bao's son or daughter in the future.

Feng Bao is a eunuch, if he has regrets in his heart, he feels sorry for his ancestors. Because it is impossible for them to leave offspring for their ancestors, let alone to spread their branches. So in order to make up for their own shortcomings, these powerful eunuchs always like to adopt godsons and godsons. At that time, these godsons and goddaughters were not their own, and even if they took their surnames, they were not their descendants. Although Feng Bao is an aspiring and idealistic eunuch, he compares himself to Zheng He, the eunuch of the Three Treasures, but he also remembers this regret in his heart. After Qin Tai and his wife knew that Feng Bao was a person, they felt that Feng Bao was different from other eunuchs, and that he was a eunuch who could be reformed. In addition, Qin Tai and his wife needed Feng Bao's support at that time, so Zhan Xiaoxiao made his own decisions and allowed his next child to be raised by Feng Bao, which can be regarded as Feng Bao's descendants. Feng Bao almost didn't offer Zhan Xiaoxiao after learning about it, he knew that Qin Tai and his wife had a good bloodline, and their children would definitely not be bad. With such a descendant, Feng Bao doesn't have to worry about the family being unprosperous. For this reason, Feng Bao not only urged Zhan Xiao to have children all day long, but also almost responded to Zhan Xiaoxiao's requests.

Feng Bao was very reluctant to learn that Zhan Xiaoxiao was going to leave the capital. Zhan Xiaoxiao inadvertently said that she was pregnant, and Feng Bao almost wanted Zhan Xiaoxiao and Qin Tai to separate. Qin Tai must leave the capital, Zhan Xiaoxiao is pregnant and should stay in the capital to raise a baby. This was Feng Bao's decision alone, but Zhan Xiaoxiao did not agree. Zhanxiao's reason is that his wife should not leave her husband, and besides, she has to take care of her eldest son, Xiao Ping'an. In order not to let Zhan Xiaoxiao work too hard, in order not to let Zhan Xiaoxiao have an accident, Feng Bao privately gave Zhan Xiaoxiao a small sum of money, so that Zhan Xiaoxiao should not be reluctant to spend money. In order to prevent accidents, Feng Bao secretly ordered Jinyiwei and Dongchang to protect Qin Tai and his wife along the way, and at the same time, secretly stuffed Zhan Xiaoxiao's token that could command Jinyiwei. Feng Bao was not reluctant to hand over the token of Dongchang to Zhan Xiaoxiao, but he was worried that Qin Tai, the scourge, would cause him to get into trouble. As long as there are people from Dongchang to contain Jinyiwei, even if Zhan Xiaoxiao and Qin Tai mobilize Jinyiwei, it is impossible to make a big mess. It's okay to arrange it like this, otherwise Qin Tai and Zhan Xiaoxiao would really turn Hubei upside down.

Zhan Xiaoxiao took this token and secretly went to Jinyiwei and asked the other party to do three things. First, investigate the cause of Duan Xingao's death. Second, investigate the causes and consequences of the granary of war readiness. Third, investigate the extent of the involvement of the governor's yamen, the political envoys, the prefects' yamen, and the prefect's yamen, as well as the barracks at all levels, in this case. At the same time, Zhan Xiaoxiao mobilized a team of brocade guards to secretly protect the safety of his family. Jin Yiwei didn't dare to ask Zhan Xiaoxiao's origin, so he had to protect Qin Tai and his wife according to the attitude of protecting Jinyiwei's high-level leaders. In the end, it really saved everyone's lives, otherwise Qin Tai and his wife would really die here.

Not long after Jin Yiwei was transferred, a group of people who didn't know the origin secretly took over the inn. Taking advantage of the fact that Qin Tai and his wife had just arrived and were not very familiar with the inn staff, they replaced the real staff. It was agreed that on the night of the same day, the inn would be burned to death by burning Qin Tai and his wife. At most, it is enough for the yamen to issue a certificate that the fire caused the outsiders to burn to death. Unexpectedly, they didn't have time to prevent fire, and they were surrounded by the brocade guards who secretly protected Qin Tai and his wife. Jinyiwei had these people ruthlessly and asked why the other party did this. The people on the other side were originally very arrogant, but when they learned the identity of Jin Yiwei, they immediately told their identities one by one. They turned out to be military men from the Thousand Households, some alternate soldiers who did not even have official military status. They were ordered to burn to death a group of people who lived in this inn, and one of them was an officer of the Thousand Households. Jin Yiwei immediately secretly controlled the officer, and even the officer's family did not know where he had gone. The people of Jinyiwei asked a military man to pretend to be an officer, saying that something happened to the officer's hometown and he wanted to leave for a while. After arranging this officer, after Jin Yiwei helped Qin Tai and his wife withdraw from the inn, he still set fire to the inn. found a few corpses, acted as Qin Tai and his wife, and reported to the local yamen.
