(Thanks to the monthly ticket of the weak tea Rumo brothers) Chapter 187

Meng Jin stood in front of Wang Yue cautiously, as a low-level general placed by Wang Yue and Fan Heng in the Jinyi Guard, he rarely had the opportunity to face the two bigwigs in the inner court, but he knew that Wang Yue and Fan Heng must have their own place in their hearts.

At the beginning, Meng Jin was selected to be sent to the East Factory from the Jinyi Guard, and soon he was returned to the Jinyi Guard in the name of the limited number of East Factory Ti Riders, and outsiders naturally did not know the inside story of the road, in fact, in just a few days, Meng Jin's identity has changed dramatically, and Wang Yue was designated as one of the internal personnel who returned to the Jinyi Guard.

Meng Jin is obviously willing to accept his new identity, whether in Dongchang or Jinyiwei, he is at best an excellent horseman, but once he changes his identity, he becomes an important pawn in the eyes of Dongchang. Although this way to get to the top is dangerous, it is better than being called by someone for a lifetime to be called in exchange for a role, and Fan Heng also made a promise, once he has made a great contribution, he will ask for someone from Jinyiwei again, and he can be directly promoted after entering the East Factory.

It's just a pity that Mu Bin is obviously not a fuel-efficient lamp, and all the Jinyi Weiqi School that was returned after being selected and sent to the East Factory has no chance to enter such a key department as the General Office or the Fusi of the North and South Towns, and Meng Jin was also transferred to the Zhengnanfang Qianhu Institute as a flag school.

Meng Jin was also very helpless about such a result, if he couldn't get in touch with the core yamen, he couldn't play an important role, and he had to endure patiently in Zhengnanfang. Three years have passed, Meng Jin has made no achievements in the work of acting as a meticulous worker, but he has gained in the identity of Jinyiwei, and he was actually promoted to the hundred households of the 200th household in Zhengnanfang, responsible for the investigation, and when he dreamed back at midnight, he even had some doubts about his original choice.

But Meng Jin knew that he couldn't have such thoughts, and he always reminded himself of his special identity, because he knew that any sign of disloyalty to Dongchang, even a little performance, would ruin everything for him. In the past three years, Dongchang has not blamed him for doing nothing, but has continuously provided him with money for him to squander up and down, which is the practice of casting a long line to catch big fish, and behind the warmth, it is a strong pressure.

In many small things, Meng Jin chose to remain quiet, which was also specially explained by Fan Heng, small things are worthless, but easy to expose; However, since the new emperor ascended the throne, all the personnel who had been installed in the Jinyi Guard and the various yamen, including Meng Jin, were told that all rumors and news about the dispute in the inner court, and even the actions of the Shangguan, had to be reported to the authorities, that is, to find the reactions of all parties from the mountain of news and deal with them.

And Meng Jin was also specially told to pay close attention to the reaction of Song Nan, who was close to Liu Jin, so although Meng Jin had been squeezed out of the power core of Zhengnanfang by Song Nan, he had to prick up his ears and listen to the wind, constantly looking for valuable news.

"Meng Baihu, why did you suddenly come to see our family, you should go to your family." Wang Yue looked at Meng Jin in front of him lightly and asked slowly.

Meng Jin arched his hand and said: "The subordinates feel that this matter should be told to the prince, because the subordinates feel that the matter is very important. ”

Meng Jin's subtext is that I naturally have to listen to Wang Yue for major things, and I am not at ease when I am told by others, Wang Yue has a smile on his face, and there are rumors from the outside world that Fan Heng is disrespectful to himself behind his back, although Wang Yue laughed, but his heart was a little uncomfortable, Fan Heng was promoted by himself, and Fan Heng presided over the East Factory, but in fact, his influence in the East Factory was comparable to Fan Heng, and Meng Jin's words also proved this, which made Wang Yue's heart quite comfortable.

"Say, what's the matter, although it's not in accordance with the rules, but it's all here, and our family will tell Master Fan for you."

Meng Jin hurriedly said: "Thank you princess, my subordinates have found that something is wrong with Song Nan in the past few days, and hundreds of brothers have been selected for seven or eight consecutive days, as if they are secretly investigating some big case, but all of them are very tight, and they can't ask for any news; The night before yesterday, one of my henchmen was drunk with a participating little flag officer, only to find out that they were checking some people's property, but who it was, the flag officer couldn't say, only that he was told by the above to do what he was told to do what he was told, and he was not allowed to ask more. ”

Wang Yue was stunned for a moment and said, "Check the family property? What's the big news? Don't you Jinyiwei do this kind of thing often? Is it that Song Nan is short of money at hand, and he has changed his tricks to get oil and water, and you can also talk about such things, it is really inexplicable. ”

Meng Jin blushed and said, "Prince-in-law, listen to what your subordinates have to say." ”

Wang Yue said a little impatiently: "Say it quickly." ”

Meng Jin said: "This afternoon, Song Nan convened a group of his dead friends in Zhengnan Fang to discuss things behind closed doors, I ordered people to watch, although I didn't hear what they said, but when I went out, my subordinates heard Zheng Da, the hundredth household of the 200th household, inadvertently said something like 'Daming Gate' and 'taking people', humble and foolish, I don't understand the meaning, but I feel that the matter is very important, so I hurried to ask for it." ”

"Damingmen? Take people? Wang Yue's brows furrowed into a pimple, and his fat face instantly became solemn: "You are only under the jurisdiction of the Jinyi Wei Yamen in the south of the city, and the Daming Gate is the imperial city, how can you go and take people's share?" ”

Meng Jin said: "Yes, the subordinates also acted strangely, but looking at their solemn appearance, the secret merchants began to gather their subordinates again, and it seems that some action is certain; I was thinking about whether this Song Nan had been ordered by someone to assist in getting some important people in Damingmen; The subordinates linked their secret investigation of other people's property, thinking that it was because they found out that a certain minister in the DPRK was corrupt or something, and they might want to take people tomorrow after waiting for officials to go to the court? ”

Wang Yue frowned and said: "It's not right, even if the corruption of the ministers of the court and the central government is found, it should not be taken by you Zhengnanfang, but it should be reported to the Zhenfu Department or Mu Bin, and the people of the general office will handle it; Moreover, if you Jinyi Wei take the officials of the DPRK and China, you need to go to the Criminal Department to receive the sticker, how can there be no rumors about such a big matter. ”

Meng Jin said: "The subordinates are also very confused, is there someone who is afraid of startling the snake, and secretly arranged for Song Nan to act privately, if the relationship is too important, Jinyiwei does not need to be attached every time." ”

Wang Yue thought about it sideways and said, "Do you know the details of their investigation of other people's property?" Even a little bit of it. ”

Meng Jin frowned and thought about it carefully, and suddenly said: "I remembered one thing, it seems that more than a dozen flag schools have gone to Beijing to investigate cases, and it seems that they went to Baoding Mansion. ”

Wang Yue took a breath of cold air and said, "Baoding Mansion? ”

Meng Jin said: "Yes, it's Baoding Mansion, I remember, it's Baoding Mansion, you said that when did we Zhengnanfang Yamen extend their hands to Baoding Mansion, it's quite unusual." ”

Wang Yue stood up and said: "Meng Baihu, I know everything you said, you keep an eye on Song Nan after you go back, and report any news immediately, our family still has urgent matters to do, so I won't leave you." ”

Meng Jin retreated, confused in his heart, although he didn't know what Song Nan was doing, but he intuitively felt that something big must have happened, so he came to report, but Wang Yue didn't seem to take it to heart, but he also reported what he should have reported, and he did his duty, and he didn't have anything else to do.

The housekeeper took Meng Jin out, Meng Jin walked to the gate, but the housekeeper said, "The master has ordered, I want you to go out of the back door." ”

Meng Jin immediately felt that something was wrong, he was already very cautious when he came, as an experienced brocade guard, how could he be watched, Wang Yue specially told the housekeeper to take him out of the back door, is this too careful.

Wang Yue closed his eyes and pondered in the study for a while, and suddenly shouted loudly: "Someone, prepare a sedan chair." ”

The housekeeper hurriedly came over and said, "The master wants to go out?" ”

Wang Yue said: "Don't be wordy, change clothes, and order someone to check at the front and back doors to see if there are any idle people waiting for the haunt." ”

The housekeeper hurriedly complied, and when Wang Yue got dressed, the servants who went out to check came back to report, and there was nothing unusual in the front and back doors, Wang Yue breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly went out and got on the sedan chair and went north.

In the corner of Chongjiaofang, a small river is lush with trees, Fan Heng's outer house is in this wooded place, the new emperor is different from the previous emperor, and he is not very diligent in handling political affairs, and the officials who accompany him have more time, since the summer, Fan Heng has come to the outer house almost every day to spend the night, coveting the cool and comfortable outer house by the forest river; I was in a good mood today, and I got the news in the afternoon that tomorrow morning Li Dongyang will participate in Liu Jin's construction of the leopard room, Fan Heng is secretly proud, and he is looking forward to seeing the emperor and Liu Jin eat deflated tomorrow.

Back in the outer house, set up a banquet in the courtyard and called the second and third stalls of the East Factory and several personal servants with him to drink, when he was drunk, he suddenly heard the servant come to report, saying that the master of ceremonies Wang Gonggong was visiting, Fan Heng was startled, Wang Yue never came to his outer house, why did he come to visit in person tonight?

In the midst of doubt, Fan Heng hurriedly took a few subordinates out to greet him and came to the front yard, where Wang Yue was already standing in the courtyard with his hands in his hands, and there was no one around him.

"Father-in-law, what kind of wind blew you here, did you come to the table and drink two glasses?" Fan Heng smiled and said, and several of his subordinates also stepped forward to salute respectfully.

"Tell them to stand down, we have something to say to you." Wang Yue didn't look back, and said coldly.

Fan Heng hurriedly waved his hand to signal several of his subordinates to retreat, and came behind Wang Yue and said with a smile: "What does the prince have to admonish?" ”

Wang Yue smelled the smell of wine in Fan Heng's mouth, frowned, turned his head and asked in a deep voice, "Do you have any real estate in Baoding Mansion?" ”
