Chapter 51: The Trouble of Merchant Whistleblowing

Now that he is back, he is always going to go around his yamen, seriously, this inspection is Yu Feng's job, he has not seen anyone in the past month, although he has gone out to inspect the salt matter under the guise of going out, but he has not seen anyone, and he has not gone back, so it is unreasonable.

There is only one master in charge of the yamen, this is still a fellow villager recommended to him before the master of the cloth ruler Liu went to work with the cloth ruler, this person's surname is Shen, and he has failed the imperial examination many times, so he simply gave up this idea, Master Liu came over with a letter, and he came over immediately when he was at home.

If this Master Shen is a master of the county and the state, he will still be a little rusty now, but it is more than enough to be a master of inspection, in addition to some exchanges with other yamen, there is some paperwork left, needless to say, it is naturally handy. In the past half a year, Yu Feng has certainly been much more relaxed, but this Master Shen has also done a good job, quite a bit of a sense of satisfaction, where is the slightest taste of despair.

The main family came back, and Master Shen had no choice but to welcome Yu Feng in, and picked up some important things for the rest of the month, big and small, and reported them to Yu Feng as he walked.

As soon as the two of them sat down, there was a word from the salt at the door, saying that someone asked to see them.

Yu Feng was quite helpless, and glanced at Master Shen, this time when he arrived at the yamen, someone asked to see, and it was clearly the person who asked to see, and he always noticed the movement of the inspection yamen, and even saw that he walked into the yamen to ask for a meeting.

Master Shen shook his head slightly, he understood the meaning of the master's family very well, this was to ask himself if he knew what kind of road this was, he thought about it carefully, and confirmed that there was no omission, no one has handed over a post to ask to see his owner this month? Suddenly, he remembered something, and said busily: "The adult went out for a few days, and there were people sent by Shandong Jinyi Wei Qianhu to visit the adult, and when the adult was not there, the person who came left the words and said that he would come back to visit again, could it be the person of this Jinyiwei?" ”

Look at this style, when you go to the yamen with your front foot, someone will come to visit you on your back foot, this kind of behavior, I am really afraid that only Jinyiwei can do it. Yu Feng's scalp is also a little numb, what about Jin Yiwei! This is Jinyiwei! The Yamen of the Ming Dynasty can stop children crying at night, and I have always said that I have never seen it, but I didn't expect to see it in this way.

"Can anyone tell me who they are?" Yu Feng asked about the spread of Yan Ding, Yan Ding handed over a post with both hands, Yu Feng took a look, and immediately said to the salt Ding: "Tell you Xiaoqi to bring ten brothers to the back hall, and then invite the guests in!" ”

Hearing Yu Feng's instructions, Master Shen's face turned a little pale, this has nothing to do with guts, it is purely that this brocade guard is too famous, how many high-powered officials, and a few brocade guards came to the door and said that they would take it. During the Zhengde period, Jin Yiwei commanded Jiang Bin to raid the mansion of a minister, and the minister asked for a holy decree, which Jiang Bin said: If you want a holy decree, write a copy to him. It can be seen how far the brocade guards have become.

At present, although it has been a little years since Emperor Zhengde Wuzong, during which Zhang Juzheng served as the first assistant, it was a great blow to Jinyiwei, but Jinyiwei's fierce reputation since the founding of the country has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

When Yu Feng occasionally heard the people around him chatting, he found that there were two kinds of gossip and horror stories in the Ming Dynasty, one was the demons and monsters, which had been the case for thousands of years, and the other was the East and West Factory and Jinyiwei, collectively known as the factory guard, saying that it was peeling skin and bones, all kinds of torture, and people were worse off than dead after they entered. During the discussion, the tone was full of deep fear, which shows the importance of this factory guard in the people.

Seeing that his host actually had to ambush the armor in the back hall when he was receiving Jinyi Wei's arrival, what a bold courage he must have, and thinking about the consequences of this incident, how could he not help but be frightened by Master Shen's little face.

When Xia Shuangxi and his companions walked into the side hall of the inspection, they saw at a glance that Yu Feng, who was sitting on the top of the Dama Golden Dao, was drinking a cup of tea in his hand for a long time, and did not look like he got up to greet him, and his heart couldn't help but be on fire.

The inspection of this inspection department is just an official who is not in the stream, what kind of score do you put in front of our masters! Although he Xia Shuangxi is just a small banner of Shandong Qianhu, but with Shangguan who has won a lot of high-ranking officials of three or four grades, it can be said that even if it is a dog of the Jinyi Guard Yamen, when he arrives at these official yamen, these officials will be afraid for a long time. The person in front of him is such a person, obviously he doesn't take him seriously.

"Lord Yu, your incident has happened!" He shouted from afar, and under normal circumstances, when he shouted like this, the people in this hall either ran over to do sycophancy, or sat in a chair in a panic and trembled.

"The two brothers laughed!" Yu Feng put down the teacup in his hand unhurriedly: "Come on, look at the seat!" ”

Xia Shuangxi's eyes showed a fierce light, like a foraging eagle harrier, staring at Yu Feng deadly.

"Yu Mou has always been timid, and he is also conscientious to achieve this position, and he always thinks about how to serve the court, and several brothers make such jokes, Yu Mou can't stand it!"

"What does this guy have to rely on?" Xia Shuangxi's face did not change, but he muttered slightly in his heart, looking at him like that, it didn't look like he was holding on, but he really looked fearless.

I don't care what he depends on, I just do my own errand, if something happens, I naturally have a head around, will I still be embarrassed by this errand runner? He secretly cheered himself up.

"The two of you came to me Yu, I don't know what it is! If it is short-lived, it is inconvenient to have at hand, inform me, brothers also love to make friends, and there is no reason to let the two brothers go back empty-handed! ”

My day, do we Jinyiwei seem to be fighting the autumn wind? Xia Shuangxi simply crooked his nose angrily, seeing Yu Feng's serious appearance, he couldn't wait to break the nose of the little official in front of him with a punch.

At the moment, he suppressed the anger in his heart, ignored Yu Feng's words, and said loudly: "I am here to send a letter to Lord Yu on the order of our Lord Zhang!" ”

"What about faith?" Yu Feng held out his hand.

The letter is an ordinary letterhead, and the pen and ink are not the slightest bit surprising, but the content is a bit shocking. This is a letter of denunciation written by a merchant in Shandong to the Jinyi Wei Shandong Thousand Households Office, in which it is said that Yu Feng, the Lingshan Inspection Department, has colluded with smugglers to persecute the merchants, bend the law for bribes, and corrupt the salt administration of the imperial court, which is simply a heinous crime. And faintly pointed out that Yu Feng secretly stored weapons and hidden armor, at least it was said that it was overrun, and at worst, it was said that it was not subordinate.

After reading this letter, Yu Feng's face became gloomy, it doesn't matter where this letter came from, even if it was forged by the Jinyi guards, it is important, since this letter appeared in the hands of these Jinyi guards, it means that these Jinyi guards are eyeing themselves, which is definitely not a good thing.

"What do you say about the hundred households?"

"Our adults said that after reading the letter, Yu Inspector naturally knows what to do!"

"Huh?" Yu Feng knew that there must be something to be said about this.

"Our adults also said that our Jinyi Wei is on an errand for the emperor, and the cost is inevitably a little bigger, such as today, it is not too peaceful, and I don't know where to make up for this shortfall.

Sure enough, this is what they really came for! Yu Feng sneered in his heart: "I don't know, how many silver taels do you need to share your worries?" ”

"Thirty thousand taels!" Xia Shuangxi clasped his index finger and thumb together and put up three fingers: "My family said that if Yu Xunjian knows the general situation, the Diao Min who wrote a letter to falsely accuse the court officials will naturally accidentally knock over the fire candle at home, causing a fire, and the whole family will be buried in the fire!" ”

"Did those adults say that if I didn't know the general situation, what would you do?" Yu Feng said coldly with a straight face.

After sitting in the position of the inspection department, Yu Feng specifically inquired, in places like prefectures and counties, except for Jining Prefecture, which is a thoroughfare, the rest are not stationed in Jinyiwei, and generally a province is placed in a Jinyiwei thousand households, and it is only stationed in the capital and various prefectures. In other words, in normal times, he can't have any intersection with this Jinyiwei at all, even if he commits some great crime, he can't alarm Jinyiwei. You must know that Jinyiwei is a heavenly eagle dog, and it is also a big matter to be managed, and he will definitely not be idle to check an eight-grade petty official in the locality, and there are tens of thousands of eight-grade officials in the world, if even the affairs of an eight-grade petty official have to be managed, even if their organization is several times larger, they can't manage it.

Let's listen to the number reported by this Jinyi Wei Xiaoqi, 30,000 taels, no more, no less, it happens to be almost Yu Feng's current net worth, even if there is a discrepancy, it is not much different, it is clearly calculated by the other party, and there is no scum left for Yu Feng to eat.

Of course, Yu Feng will not bow down like this, although this brocade guard is famous, but Yu Feng is not scared. Send a few people at will, bluff, and take away all the belongings he has earned at the risk of a year, not to mention Jinyiwei, not even Obama.

"Dangchang", Xia Shuangxi pulled out the embroidered spring knife on his waist, and was about to say a few cruel words, when he heard a chaotic footsteps, a group of people rushed out from behind the screen, holding two or three feet long iron rods in their hands, at the end of the iron rods, a fire rope was slowly burning.

"Firecracker!" Xia Shuangxi's pupils shrank, and he immediately closed his mouth tightly and swallowed the words that were about to blurt out.

He is not a dirt bun, at such a distance, being pointed at by more than a dozen firebolts lit with arquebuses, he knows what will happen. He looked at Yu Feng, but Yu Feng was two feet away from him, even if he took the knife to hold Yu Feng hostage, it would be too late.

The fire rope snorted and burned, and the room was so quiet that you could hear a needle dropping. Yu Feng was about to speak, only to see a "plop", and the incomparably arrogant brocade flag on the opposite side had already knelt down: "Adult, adult is angry, small... The little one is just a messenger! ”
