From the beginning of the five elements, it is to the north belongs to the water, and black is the positive color of the water, the water belongs to the yin, and the yin lord is tortured, so the Jinyi Wei Yamen is located in the north of the Beijing Division, and the gatehouse buildings are mainly black.

In winter, the Beijing division was cold and windy, but when it came to the edict of the brocade guard, it was three points colder than outside.

After the next dynasty, Lu Hanjiang came to Jinyiwei Edict Prison, and today such a thing happened, Wu Qiming, the servant, had to come to the edict prison in person, responsible for interrogating the mad man who was shouting on the street.

When Lu Hanjiang arrived, the people in the cell were already covered in blood and dying.

"I've seen adults." Wu Qiming came forward to greet him.

Lu Hanjiang waved his hand, withdrew his eyes looking in the direction of the cell, and asked, "How was the interrogation?" ”

Wu Qiming's expression was gloomy, and he said: "This thief is afraid that he has already saved the heart of death, and he still does not say a word under the torture of the brothers, and he also asks the adults to wait for a while, so that the brothers can try in a different way." ”

Lu Hanjiang nodded, and asked again, "Has his origin been clarified?" ”

Wu Qiming's eyes flashed a little ruthless, and he replied: "Lord Huiyu, it has been found out, this person's name is Han Cheng, a person from Jiangnan, who studied in Meihua Academy, and Qi Yunzhou, the vice president, although he has no name as a master and apprentice, but he has the fact of a master and apprentice, and this time he came to Beijing to be invited by his letter. ”

"It's also an academy," Lu Hanjiang narrowed his eyes and said to himself: "In this way, Jin Yiwei can only touch this layer of relationship at most in the end, right?" ”

"Also?" Wu Qiming was stunned for a moment, then his eyes lit up, and he hurriedly said: "Haven't you already guessed who is the person who is manipulating behind the scenes?" ”

Lu Hanjiang patted Wu Qiming on the shoulder, the two left from the cell and walked to the open space, he said: "Although there is no evidence in this matter, it is not difficult to guess if you use the results to push back, anyway, you can exclude the academy and Old Master Luo first." ”

Wu Qiming frowned and said, "Is your lord too arbitrary, this person has a close relationship with the academy, how can it be said that it has nothing to do with those people?" ”

Lu Hanjiang said with a smile: "That vice president Qi Yunzhou is an interesting person, he won't do such a stupid thing, and Old Master Luo, if he wants to scold people, with his temperament, he will personally come to the door and launch a dead soldier as a pioneer to send him to death, wouldn't it be shameful for him to shame the four-character plaque of benevolence, righteousness, etiquette and faith in front of his division." ”

Wu Qiming still hesitated: "Having said that......"

Lu Hanjiang said again: "There is another point, the roots of the academy are basically in the south of the Yangtze River, and they moved to Beijing because of the beggars' rebellion, do you think how big a net they can lay in just one year?" Not to mention it, this matter alone can hide from the sight of Jinyiwei, do you think they can do it? ”

This is not Lu Hanjiang's blind confidence, Jinyiwei's nest is in the land of Gyeonggi, and supervising hundreds of officials is their job, so to speak, any wind and grass in the capital can't escape their eyes.

To put it bluntly, the arrangement of these big families in the capital is basically one-way transparent to Jinyiwei, how can a mere academy be an exception.

Wu Qiming also came back to his senses at this time, the biggest doubt in this matter is how that crazy student blinded Jinyiwei's eyes, his identity is complicated, it is difficult for people to believe that it was a whim and suddenly did it.

Lu Hanjiang pointed out a clear path to Wu Qiming at this time: "Lord Wu, although Jinyiwei is full of eyeliner in the capital and can supervise hundreds of officials and ministers, if you think about it carefully, there is a place that we can't reach out to no matter what." ”

Wu Qiming twisted his eyebrows and thought hard, and suddenly his heart flashed, and he was shocked: "What the adults are talking about, Ouchi?!" ”

Jin Yiwei can control the movements of the entire Jingshi, but there is one place that is blackened, that is, in the imperial city, which is the only blind spot that Jinyiwei cannot reach.

Lu Hanjiang nodded lightly, and Wu Qiming immediately thought of the key: "The words of the adults make the humble position like drinking Daigo, if this matter is led by that Cao Yuan, then it is indeed difficult for us to detect." ”

The East Factory and the West Factory are all controlled by the Twelve Supervisors, although the West Factory was killed by the Jinyi Guard, but the East Factory is still there, as the existence hidden under the deep water of the Beijing Division, their arrangement will naturally not let the Jinyi Wei perceive.

But Lu Hanjiang still shook his head: "Lord Wu is still wrong, although Gonggong Cao is not small, but he is not very bold, to say something disrespectful, compared to our Lord Meng, this master of ceremonies is much more honest." ”

Cao Yuan is the great eunuch who served beside the old emperor, and he understands the old emperor's mind the most, when Lu Hanjiang killed Zou Ji Liwei to try, the old emperor expressed his attitude, and since then, the third factory of the inner palace has never had any conflict with Jinyiwei.

Whether it is openly or secretly, Cao Yuan has steadily suppressed his godsons, and no one dares to continue to pick up the tiger whiskers of Jinyiwei, even if Lu Hanjiang does everything desperately, killing Xichang with blood, and even completely empty, they have always kept silent.

Cao Yuan understands the emperor's thoughts, his old man is now obsessed with immortality, and he can ignore state affairs, but one thing must be guaranteed, that is, he has his own power.

Jinyiwei and the third factory of the inner palace are necessary conditions to achieve this demand, and they are also the largest capital in the hands of the old emperor.

Therefore, he can allow the eunuchs to become bigger, and he can also allow the Jinyi Wei power to lean towards the government and the opposition, but he will never allow the two to conflict and then produce unnecessary internal friction, because the final result will threaten his imperial power.

Cao Yuan is a smart man, after testing Naxichang to no avail, and then seeing the old emperor's attitude clearly, he immediately chose to reconcile with Lu Hanjiang, and even took a few steps back and completely lowered his posture.

Lu Hanjiang believes that Cao Yuan will not do this kind of thing that will do more harm than good, so it is not him who is behind the scenes of scolding the street this time.

Wu Qiming's brows furrowed again: "If it weren't for Cao Yuan, who else would it be?" ”

Lu Hanjiang narrowed his eyes and didn't speak, Wu Qiming came back to his senses for a while, and he said solemnly: "My lord thinks that this matter was done by Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess?" ”

The Imperial City of the Inner Palace is a sphere of influence that Jinyiwei cannot reach, but there are not only the three major factories with energy in the Inner Palace, but there is also a force among them, that is the East Palace where the crown princess is located.

Lu Hanjiang nodded slightly, and then said with some doubts: "Although I can basically be sure that this matter was done by His Highness, I still can't figure out what she wants." ”

Lu Hanjiang knows the crown princess very well, and they have long been at odds with each other, and it is not surprising that the princess makes a killing move, but this time she scolded the street, which is more like a temptation, or a mockery, or a prelude to some kind of disaster.

In general, it may make Jinyiwei's face ugly, but it is absolutely impossible to hurt the muscles and bones, and even judging from Jinyiwei's current power, the biggest effect is estimated to be disgusting.

So Lu Hanjiang felt very puzzled, he knew that the crown princess was a smart person, in this life-and-death situation, it was the right way to stab the knife with his dead hand when he saw the opportunity, like now, it didn't seem to make much sense to slap his mouth coldly.

"My lord, how do we deal with it?" Wu Qiming asked in a low voice, since it involves the East Palace and the crown princess, it will be useless for them to interrogate any further.

】

"Let me think about it," Lu Hanjiang pondered for a moment, and then asked, "By the way, has that Fang County Order been escorted back to Beijing?" ”
