Chapter 19: Jin Yiwei
[There are easter eggs at the end of the chapter, about the setting of Jinyiwei! ] γ
"The surname is Feng, Zhang Guanren is lifting you up, don't be embarrassed!"
Before Feng Yuan could answer, the jailer on the side was already shouting.
Raising his head, Feng Yuan said in a low voice: "I won't sell my ancestral property, you guys are dead of this heart!" β
"Toast without eating and drinking, look for a beating!"
Seeing that the jailer was about to beat someone with a stick, the little official surnamed Zhang stretched out his hand to stop it, and then looked at Feng Yuan: "Little brother Feng, why are you doing this!" β
"You must know that money is something outside the body, and people cannot be resurrected after death, you have to think clearly!"
Feng Yuan said unhurriedly: "I am already a descendant of Xiao, how can I sell my ancestral property to make a living!" β
"You have to think clearly, don't be impulsive!" The little official spoke bitterly, looking like he was thinking about him.
Feng Yuan lowered his head and said without hesitation: "You don't have to say more!" β
Seeing that he was really iron-hearted, the little official's expression turned cold, and he slapped the table and stood up.
"Hmph, I want to die, but it may not be so easy, this should be in the prison of Tianfu...... There are ways to make your life worse than death! β
Walking out of the cell and looking at Feng Yuan, who was still with his head down, the little official said coldly: "You are asking for your own hardship!" β
The little officer brushed his sleeves and left, but the two jailers did not leave, they were cleaning up the food that had not been touched.
"Boy, you really don't have a lot of brains, don't you give the money and go out!"
"Lord Tongju wants to clean you up, how can you resist!"
After a good meal, the two jailers were in a happy mood, so they said a few more words to Feng Yuan.
Feng Yuan grasped the key and hurriedly asked, "Didn't the Xue family harm me?" β
Realizing that they had lost their words, the two jailers said no more, and Ma Yu packed up his things and left.
After these people left, the people in the cells on both sides leaned over and complained that Feng Yuan was a fool and didn't know how to be flexible.
"Stay in the green mountains, don't be afraid of no firewood, you kid is really brainless!"
"As long as you live, you have a way to start a business, and you still want to die, what a fool!"
Everyone heard the conversation just now, and they could roughly guess what was going on, it was nothing more than the government defrauding him of money.
For these people who have been in prison for a long time and whose future is uncertain, if they have money to get out, they will not hesitate to sell their fields.
"Even if you don't agree, you should always eat some food on the table, and you will cheapen those two guys for nothing......"
"It's so stupid, such a person lives, and I don't know what to make my father and mother angry!"
was repeatedly belittled by these people, which made Feng Yuan, who was already remorseful and guilty, faint with anger for a while.
This is good, everyone scolded him for being useless, and after a while, they dispersed.
After about ten minutes, the well-fed jailer turned back and splashed a bucket of water to wake Feng Yuan from his slumber.
"You sleep soundly, but you make us ...... work"
"Get up, it's ready over there, soldering iron nail board leather whip...... You've got it! β
β¦β¦β¦β¦
Feng Yuan suffered in the prison of the government office, but in the Jinyiwei prison at the other end, some people complained that the food was too unpalatable.
In today's Ming Dynasty, as the head of the Shangzhi military guard, the function of the Jinyi guard has been very simple, mainly as the emperor's eyes distributed throughout the country.
Each province has set up a thousand households, which are specially responsible for the news of a province and supervise all the officials and gentry including the imperial history.
"Don't complain, you and I should still think about what to do next!" Wang Qun's face was sad.
Putting down the dishes and chopsticks, and taking a sip of half a tael of cold tea, Zhang Qiuyou sighed: "What else?" It's a big deal to be demoted, go back to the countryside to study and farm! β
Wang Qun shook his head: "Those things under the rule of the two of us, as long as we strictly investigate them, we can discuss the crime, if the thirteenth master is bent on standing up, I am afraid that it will not only be dismissed!" β
Sighing again, Zhang Qiuyou said: "It's only because of our luck, the thirteenth master came and whispered, so he became a bird!" β
"Who would have thought that this thirteenth master is not very old, but he is even stricter than the prince!" Wang Qun thumped his chest.
There was silence in the cell, and the unknown terrified both of them.
"Shall we just sit back and wait?"
Hearing this, Wang Qun said helplessly: "This place is called Tiantian, what can you and I do except wait?" β
After thinking about it for a while, Zhang Qiuyou said in a deep voice: "Why don't we write an excerpt of confession?" Ask the Thirteenth Master and the Prince for forgiveness, so that the two of me will pay for their crimes? β
"This ...... It's not impossible, but I'm afraid it's not very useful! β
After a pause, Wang Qun continued: "You forget, we are the targets that have been set up, if we are released, it will not be in vain to work at today's court meeting!" β
What is the situation of today's deliberations, the two of them have analyzed it for an afternoon, and they already know it in their hearts, knowing that the prince and Zhu Jinghong are singing red and white.
"According to you, we're hopeless!"
"Not really, maybe someone out there has already tried to rescue us, you must know that...... There are many people who have something to do like us! β
Being so little bit by Wang Qun, Zhang Qiuyou immediately understood, and hope rose in his heart again.
"Then this fold, can you still write it?"
"Write, of course you have to write, it's okay to be idle anyway!"
As officials, although they live in a cell that is naturally more advanced, in addition to chairs and beds, pen, ink, paper and inkstone are also available.
One person was responsible for researching the ink, and the other was responsible for writing, and it only took about half an hour for a well-crafted love letter to be freshly baked.
The two signed their names and called for the guards who were outside.
The guard couldn't be the master, so he sent the excerpt to his boss, then to the hundred households, and finally to the thousand households Li Wenzhao.
Li Wenzhao has been very busy recently, as the emperor's local eye, he has to keep an eye on the affairs of the Japanese people, he has to investigate the traitors of the White Lotus Sect, he has to investigate the bad things of the magistrates, and now he has to supervise the settlement of accounts.
So much so that in the evening, he was still reading the reports coming from all over the world, and he had to sift through the valuable ones.
As a Jinyi Wei Qianhu stationed in Jinling, although Li Wenzhao is only a five-rank military attachΓ©, he is also a big figure in this province, and Jinling officials are stunned when they see it.
But at this moment, in the face of a mere excerpt, he has a solemn face.
"Lord Qianhu, this is the love letter of those two in prison, you see how to deal with it!" Baihu asked respectfully.
Who knew that Li Wenzhao asked: "What do you say to do?" β
As his confidant, Baihu replied after thinking about it: "My lord, I think it's better to give it away!" β
"Why!"
"My lord, today's event is a fight between the prince and the locality, we have enough things, it is better to stay away if we don't get involved!"
After nodding slightly, Li Wenzhao said: "Then send it over, don't worry about how to deal with it!" β
Baihu's words actually reminded Li Wenzhao that this matter is not only the prince and the local government, but more importantly, the prince and King Rui are fighting.
Although he is majestic and majestic, he is only a domestic slave to the royal family, so it is naturally better to stay away from such a matter of seizing the heir.
"Why aren't you leaving? Send it over! β
"My lord, there is one more thing, I don't know whether to talk about it!"
Li Wenzhao said angrily: "If you have a fart, let it go, don't you see that I'm busy?" β
"Today, the Thirteenth Master ran out of the palace and had a conflict with the Xue family's uncle, and after the Thirteenth Master beat the Xue family violently, he sent someone to send them to Yingtianfu!"
"Jinling Xue family? They are arrogant and domineering, and they deserve it! β
"Do you want to report this matter?" Baihu asked tentatively.
Zhu Jinghong was very restless, so in the recent imperial decree to Jinyiwei, he emphasized that he should be watched and reported in time if there is a situation.
But how to grasp the degree of it is a great test of Li Wenzhao's wisdom.
