Chapter 17 Horror of the Seventeenth Corpse

Although Emperor Longqing was disappointed with Meng Chong again, he couldn't replace Meng Chong immediately after a while, so he didn't completely solve Meng Chong.

However, Emperor Longqing warned Meng Chong for the last time not to provoke Feng Bao and Zhang Juzheng, nor to offend Qin Tai, otherwise Emperor Longqing decided to give up Meng Chong completely.

Meng Chong immediately obediently agreed, he knew the current situation very well, if there was no master of Emperor Longqing to cover him, Meng Chong would definitely not live for three days.

There are no less than 10,000 people inside and outside the palace who want Meng Chong to die, and there are nearly 100 people who dare to attack Meng Chong. Meng Chong swore that he would not provoke Qin Tai again and would not interfere in anything with Qin Tai.

In fact, Meng Chong was also afraid of Qin Tai, Qin Tai was like Meng Chong's nemesis, always suppressing Meng Chong. Meng Chong didn't dare to say what was in his heart, if he said it, he would be able to hear Emperor Longqing's heart.

Not only did Meng Chong feel that Qin Tai restrained himself, but even his master, Emperor Longqing, felt that Qin Tai was very evil, and even had a bit of a taste of suppressing Emperor Longqing's personal fortune.

In fact, Emperor Longqing and Meng Chong are difficult brothers, under the suppression of Zhang Juzheng and others, coupled with Qin Tai, a freak who is rare in a thousand years, Emperor Longqing really feels that being an emperor is becoming more and more boring.

Sometimes Emperor Longqing had an impulse to simply hand over power directly and let the crown prince become emperor. At that time, Emperor Longqing will want to see whether Zhang Juzheng is educating the new emperor, or whether Li Guifei, the new empress dowager, will overwhelm Zhang Juzheng.

However, Emperor Longqing just thought about it, so he was reluctant to hand over power, especially himself. For him, the throne is more important than anything else, and now he not only fully understands the heart of his father, Emperor Jiajing Zhu Houxi, but also is becoming more and more like Jiajing Emperor Zhu Houxi.

Since there was no Meng Chong and others to make trouble behind their backs, Qin Tai and his wife officially took over the local case. Don't underestimate the affairs of this place, you must know that this is the most lively place in the country.

Even a small urban area here is more difficult to manage than a county outside. Both the population and the private assets are unimaginable in other places.

Qintai's hometown of Pingyao is also a wealthy place, not only with a large population, but also with many wealthy people.

Qin Tai once heard an official in his hometown say that the population of a county in Pingyao was the sum of the capital of a state in the northwest, and the same was true for the property.

But compared to the old saying in the capital, Pingyao is very small. Whether it is any county or urban area, the number of population and wealth far exceeds that of Pingyao.

You must know that although Pingyao is not a big county in the local area, it is also one or two times larger than the largest county in the capital.

Although so many people are crowded together, it is lively and prosperous, but it also means that there are more things and more cases.

The so-called capital generally includes two large areas in the city and outside the city, and the city is divided into the outer city, the inner city and the imperial city, and outside the city is the Shuntianfu and the four counties under its jurisdiction.

The scope of public security under the jurisdiction of Jinyiwei generally refers to the city, and the security outside the city is generally handed over to the forbidden army and local troops.

In fact, the maintenance of law and order by the Jinyi Guards is only incidental, and it is not their main responsibility, but for a long time, this has become the main source of wealth for the middle and lower classes of the Jinyi Guard.

Nearly half of the lower-level personnel of the Jinyi Guard rely on patrolling and collecting merchants

"Security management expenses" sustain life. If this income is missing, at least one-third of Jinyiwei will be hungry.

If this power is withdrawn, Jin Yiwei estimates that at least a quarter of the people will be dispersed. You must know that Jinyiwei is different from the East Factory, the upper echelons of the East Factory are eunuchs, so they will not care whether their subordinates drag their families and bring their mouths, and Jinyiwei is a military household that needs to support a large family.

Generally, there are at least six or seven family members in a Jinyiwei's family, or even a dozen or twenty family members.

Because these people are military households, they can't have their own land, and they can't do business blatantly, and all their sources of livelihood can only rely on the family of Dang Jinyiwei.

If it weren't for Jinyiwei's gray income, Jinyiwei's normal income alone wouldn't be able to support everyone.

Qin Tai had already heard that even if Jin Yiwei was not corrupt or secretly playing tricks, the most ordinary one would have fifty or sixty taels of silver a year, plus Jin Yiwei's skin could usually be eaten for nothing, which was enough to feed his family.

You must know that if a local magistrate is not corrupt, the normal income is only eighty-nine taels of silver a year, and the annual income of each person at the grassroots level of these brocade clothes is basically the same as that of the local county lord, which is also a lot of income.

The so-called three circles of the capital refer to the fact that there are three distinct circles in the capital, and the interior of the capital is divided into four non-use areas.

The outer city is inhabited by the common people in the capital, and they are generally ordinary people and have no officials. In the outer city is the inner city, and the officials of various departments in the capital live in the capital, as well as the retinue of these officials.

Don't underestimate these retinues, there are quite a few of them, even nearly two-thirds of the total number of people in the inner city.

These retinues are nominally the retinues of adults, but in fact they have their own residences and functions. Generally speaking, the imperial court stipulated that officials of the local government of more than five rank and the seventh rank of the capital could be equipped with one or two retinues.

These entourages usually follow their own venues, and when they come back, they live their own lives, not the private employment of this adult.

In addition to assisting adults in their work, these people are also suspected of supervising and monitoring adults. Everyone is speculating that these entourages are very likely to be spies of Jinyiwei or Dongchang, and it is quite difficult to deal with this kind of entourage, which the adults dare not call at will or easily offend, and it is not easy to dismiss them when they grow up.

In order to protect the lives of officials, all officials above the fifth rank in the capital can be equipped with one or two armed guards, and they are allowed to carry weapons to protect adults.

When the officials arrived at Sanpin, these protection work was directly handed over to Jinyiwei. Therefore, every official above the third grade has a brocade guard at home, and the brocade guard is responsible for protecting the adult's trip.

The inner city is the imperial city, where there are meritorious deeds with titles or relatives of the emperor, and there are also some super-grade officials.

The security here is completely under the responsibility of Jinyiwei, and ordinary people can't enter at all. Inside the imperial city is the sacred palace, and there is only one family in it, that is, the emperor Lao Tzu and his family.

According to the portal and family, the emperor Lao Tzu is the absolute first household in the world, not only the residence is super spacious and the population is large, but the vast majority of the population is inferior, and there are few direct relatives of the emperor who are really the head of the household.

The security and security of the Imperial City and the Imperial Palace were jointly handled by the Jinyi Guards and the Forbidden Army, and there was no need for ordinary Jinyi Guards to patrol.

Even if something happens, Jinyiwei can't handle the case independently, which requires the joint office of the Criminal Department, Jinyiwei, Dongchang and other departments, and even alarms the emperor Laozi.

The outer city and the inner city are the biggest goals and responsibilities of Jinyiwei, and all the big and small things that happen here have the right and responsibility to manage.

However, everyone doesn't call the outer city and the inner city that, and the common people and officials don't call it either. Due to the scattered area, the outer city is divided into four areas: east, south, west and north.

That is to say, the outer city includes the Dongcheng District, the Xicheng District, the South Urban District, and the Beicheng District. In addition, the inner city is also called Zhongcheng District, which happens to be five districts.

Although the capital has set up an office equivalent to the local yamen called the Wucheng Terracotta Division, which is responsible for the security and case management of the five major regions, the actual public security management is still Jinyiwei.

It's just that over the years, Jinyiwei's management authority here has changed, and the East Factory has gradually intervened, almost together with Jinyiwei to manage the security of the five urban districts.

Of course, Jin Yiwei was reluctant to give away the benefits to Dongchang, so the secret fight between them almost never stopped.

It's just that the boss of Dongchang is a cronie eunuch around the emperor, and he has a better relationship with the emperor than the commander of Jinyiwei, so Dongchang faintly suppresses Jinyiwei, and has the meaning of replacing Jinyiwei as the biggest winner in the capital.

Fortunately, there are many people in Jinyiwei, who have been operating here for a long time, and the forces that have been arranged around for many years have also played a role, which has barely curbed the momentum of the East Factory.

However, the struggle between Dongchang and Jinyiwei will not be broken, and it is very likely to break out at any time. Once it breaks out, no one is optimistic about Jinyiwei, and it is very likely that Dongchang will officially squeeze out Jinyiwei and independently manage the security work here.

Qin Tai's arrival has become a variable, not only the high-level but even the ordinary Jinyi Wei seems to see hope.

Qin Tai is not only a famous minister, but also has a good relationship with Dongchang. As long as Qin Tai is in Jinyiwei for one day, the people of Dongchang will not dare to deal with Jinyiwei to the death.

Everyone knows the relationship between Qin Tai and Feng Bao, the governor of Dongchang, so everyone in Dongchang calls Qin Tai before and after

"Second Governor". With this living ancestor in Jinyiwei, the people of Jinyiwei thought of an extra talisman.

Dongchang not only did not dare to bully the people of Jinyiwei openly, but also had to be careful to serve the people of Jinyiwei, for fear of offending Qin Tai's subordinates.

Jinyiwei's people also made an appointment, and when they met the people from Dongchang, they said that they were Qin Taiqin's subordinates, and promised that nothing would happen.

Gradually, everyone in the Jinyi Guard wanted to really become Qin Tai's subordinates, and everyone broke their heads to drill to Qin Tai.

It seems that after becoming Qin Tai's subordinate, he is really a big man at the third level of the official university.
