Chapter Ninety-Four: Jinyiwei's Investigation
In the end, under Zhu Gui's half-threatening and half-encouraging way, Feng Zhengwu still agreed to this decision, and then left the Daiwang Mansion with Feng Shaoqiang with a depressed face.
He didn't know how many people noticed his move.
You must know that before Feng Zhengwu and his son, no one could leave the Daiwang Mansion 'completely', and this place is also known as the place comparable to the Netherworld Mansion.
Zhu Gui didn't think about how much follow-up impact this incident would have.
After dealing with this matter, he first had another breakfast with Xu Miaoqing, and then took his guards to Yandao Yamen.
He came here to check the salt sales in Nanjing, and whether he could take the matter of providing refined salt in his hands.
But halfway through, he was stopped by a group of people.
There is no doubt that the person who stopped Zhu Gui was Jinyiwei.
Zhu Gui's heart couldn't help but sound.
Only then did he remember this powerful organ that was a smash hit in the Ming Dynasty.
It can be said that the rights of the Jinyi Guard during the Hongwu Emperor period were only one level lower than that of the emperor and the crown prince, and even ordinary princes had to give them three points of courtesy.
Because they not only have the right to bypass the law enforcement of the criminal department, but also the right to use lynching and the right to cut before playing.
Jinyiwei is only responsible for the emperor's orders, and was once abolished by Zhu Yuanzhang because of the abuse of lynching in history, and was later activated by Zhu Di, the Yongle Emperor.
At this time, although the reputation of Jinyiwei for abusing lynching had spread, it was still some time before it was completely abolished.
I didn't expect Zhu Gui to run into it this time.
Thinking of the monstrous power of Jinyiwei in this period of history, even Zhu Gui felt his scalp tingle.
"Acting Wang, someone has reported that you are abusing lynching, threatening public safety and the Da Ming Law, please come with us."
A brocade-clothed guard Qianhu walked out, opened a piece of yellow silk, and said in a decent manner.
Zhu Gui frowned, and his eyes became cold: "Abuse of lynching? Threat to public safety? What a big hat, can there be proof? ”
He had already pulled out his twin spears from his waist, he would not go with the Jinyi Guard no matter what, and anything could happen when he entered their territory.
That Jinyi Wei Qianhu seemed to have expected Zhu Gui's words, and said without any surprise: "Jinyi Wei was ordered by the emperor to specifically eradicate all threats to the imperial court, as for the evidence, there will be it, take it." ”
The four brocade guards behind him immediately rushed out.
"Do it, don't leave it alive."
This is what Zhu Gui said.
He himself drew his two spears and shot them at the thousand households.
Jin Yiwei seemed to have anticipated Zhu Gui's firearms, and while trying to resist with a long knife, he took a tortuous route, trying to dodge the bullets with his body.
But the distance between the two sides is within ten steps, and although Zhu Gui's marksmanship is not as good as Xu Miaoqing's, the accuracy is still there.
'Bang Bang' fired four shots in a row.
It's just that the result surprised him.
The bullets that hit that Senhe were all embedded in his armor.
And the flintlock pistols of the two pro-soldiers had better results than on his side.
The two brocade guards were already lying on the ground, bleeding all over the ground.
It seems that the rifle is powerful enough to deal with the armor of these brocade guards.
Thinking of this, Zhu Gui also exchanged two flintlock pistols, held the gun in one hand, and continued to shoot.
Although the five Jinyi guards had strong skills, they were completely suppressed by the firepower of Zhu Gui's side.
Within a moment, the five were killed on the spot.
But Zhu Gui's face was also very ugly.
"After disposing of the corpse, it seems that this salt road yamen can't go."
Zhu Gui personally came to the street corner to look at the wind.
Fortunately, Jin Yiwei usually handles cases in the shadows, which gives Zhu Gui a chance.
After a stick of incense, the two pro-soldiers finally got it ready.
Except for the lingering smell of blood, there was no trace of a fight at the scene.
Zhu Gui returned to the palace with his personal guards.
Along the way, he was thinking about who had complained to Jinyiwei.
Could it be Feng Zhengwu and his son?
There is this possibility, but it is unlikely, they are just the lowest businessmen in Nanjing, and they can already be grateful to Dade for surviving in the hands of Zhu Gui, how dare they sue a prince?
Zhu Gui remembered what the brocade cloth Wei Qianhu said, which mentioned that he had 'violated the law of the Ming Dynasty'.
Da Ming Law, to be honest, Zhu Gui violated too much.
But before he became a vassal, the things he committed were because of Zhu Yuanzhang's attitude in the court, so Jinyiwei would not pursue them at all.
That was the only thing he did after he became a vassal, except for selling salt, touching taxes, and trading salt and iron with the Mongols.
It seems that if he were to be investigated, he would indeed be able to cut off his head ten times or eight times.
But these things have either been asked for instructions, or they have been suppressed by the crown prince Zhu Biao, or they are very secretive, how did Jin Yiwei know?
"How did you get back? Why do you smell blood? ”
Just when Zhu Gui was a little distracted, Xu Miaoqing came to him with a teacup and immediately discovered the problem.
Xu Miaoqing is not one of those women who has been staying in the boudoir.
She has been on the battlefield with Zhu Gui and killed people, so she is very sensitive to the smell of blood.
Zhu Gui had no choice but to confess that he met Jinyiwei on the road.
Unexpectedly, Xu Miaoqing's attitude towards Jinyiwei was even more serious than him.
"You killed Jinyiwei? This is tantamount to going against the emperor, this is trouble, let's go to my father and let him think about it. ”
Xu Miaoqing walked around the house anxiously, and a silk scarf and handkerchief were about to be wrung up.
"You sit down first, this matter is handled by the king very secretly, and no one will know about it. You can't tell your dad, or he'll be in danger too. ”
Zhu Gui knows Zhu Yuanzhang's temper very well, and the famous generals who died in his hands are enough to play football.
"So what now? Since Jinyiwei has made a move against you, it means that your matter has been filed in the Jinyiwei headquarters, and someone will make a move if they find something wrong. ”
Xu Miaoqing said with a worried face.
This is exactly what Zhu Gui is worried about.
"The only way to do this is to leave Nanjing."
Zhu Gui thought about it again and again, and finally said.
"Leave? But what about the birthday of the crown prince and the emperor? All the other vassal kings will come. Xu Miaoqing paused for a moment and asked.
"If you leave Nanjing, the emperor may be angry, but he will not ask the king for this, if he stays in Nanjing, he will always worry about his life."
Zhu Guidao.
"You're right, that's the only way to do it, as long as you return to Datong Mansion, even Jinyiwei can't ask the king of the vassal in the fief."
Xu Miaoqing also calmed down, and at the critical moment, she showed a very amazing decisiveness.
The two looked at each other and nodded, and immediately began to order someone to pack their things.
Their plan was to leave Nanking that night before the gates were closed, and no one could notify them until then.
