At this time, I know that there must be a war of words above the court, the three pavilion elders and those civil and military officials will definitely not give up, and outside the hall will be the Dongchang and Jinyi guards, ready to arrest people at any time. I have only been in the Yiluan Division for a month, and I have a vague impression of the courtiers, who have never given us a good face, which is indeed inferior to the eunuchs in the palace, who sometimes seem so easy-going and enthusiastic. Last night, it was originally the courtiers who expelled the Eight Tigers, but after Liu Jin and others cried all night, it became today's arrest of the courtiers, and the situation was turned over and over again, and it was unpredictable. I couldn't help but take a breath of cool air, Beijing is really cold in the cold winter.

And I'm not cold! Jin Yiwei overnight, earth-shaking changes have taken place, I have just been promoted to a thousand households, and then I was asked to be in charge of the Beizhen Fusi, of course, the top boss is still Liao Jianzhong. And Xue Shen was also promoted to a thousand households, but he was in charge of the Nanzhen Fusi, it is said that the Nanzhen Fusi is in charge of Jinyiwei's law and military discipline, but obviously the power is not as good as ours here. You must know that Xue Shen is a relative of the Queen Mother, and such an arrangement is really unexpected. Sometimes the commander of the Jinyi Guard may not be able to command, because its other master is the emperor.

And I felt a bit heavy. I have made a thousand households, and I can manage many people, Liao Jianzhong sent me two hundred households, one of them turned out to be Lu Song, and the other was Gu Dachun, who had just been promoted to a hundred households. Ning Boyang was promoted to the general banner, leading my original subordinates to become my intimate person. And what makes me heavy is that Hardy was arrested, and he was neither imprisoned in the Imperial Prison nor in the East Factory, but in the Zhaoyi Hall where the West Factory used to be located.

This news was told to me when I was about to leave for Bao Xiaobai to get the python suit. I was amazed and even asked why? Bao Xiaobai said: "The matter of the three fathers-in-law of the East Factory! I was even more confused, Bao Xiaobai said: "Your brother is the only witness, if this case is not solved, I am afraid that there will be more and less luck, and he will be able to escape for a while." ”

I called "wronged" and said that Hardy could not be the murderer at all, Bao Xiaobai smiled and said: "It depends on your ability, either find the real murderer, or find someone more powerful, it doesn't matter who the real murderer is!" ”

I was completely confused, and showed the record book to Bao Xiaobai, but Bao Xiaobai looked at it quite seriously and said: "This murderer should be someone we all know, but I'm not sure yet, you are busy with your business first, and then you will talk about it when you come back!" ”

Before leaving, Bao Xiaobai congratulated me on being a thousand households, but when he spoke, he was not so enthusiastic, and even his eyes were somewhat cold, which made me a little frightened, and I left in a hurry, thinking in my heart, a young man of about the same age as me, who is here all the year round, what ability can he know so many things.

A group of crows were "croaking" overhead, and Ning Boyang rode over from behind and said, "Lord Qianhu, Yang Hong's house is in front, what should we do?" "I glanced around, although this is the west of the city, most of them are low-rise houses, far less lively than other places in the capital. There were almost no people on the street, and the Shuntian Mansion and the Five Cities Terracotta Division also sent people over, and what was surprising was that Xia Yuchun was in charge of here.

Ning Boyang was very happy that I had made a thousand households, originally thought that I would rise one level at a time, and did not want me to be handpicked by the emperor and made a thousand households. He rarely complimented me, and even told the original group of brothers that he was ready to treat me and celebrate my thousands.

When I mentioned Hardy, Ning Boyang was very indifferent and said: "It is really difficult to get out of being targeted by Dongchang. When I said that I wanted to save him, Ning Boyang pursed his lips and said: "The three fathers-in-law are the thorns in the eyes of Dongchang, a thorn in the flesh, in fact, they are dead, I don't know how many people are happy, so not many people are concerned about this case, so it is difficult to save Hardy for a while." However, he can't afford to lose anything! ”

I sighed and said, "Even so, we are his brother after all, not to mention, I have done a thousand households, and I can't ignore the things of my subordinates!" Ning Boyang smiled and said, "I heard that Father-in-law Qian has a way there, why don't you give it a try?" ”

"Which father-in-law is Qian?"

"You forgot, the brother of Lord Qian in our brocade guard!" I was shocked, he was talking about Qian Tong's brother Qian Ning, who is now a eunuch of the Internal Supervision Department, and said:

"He's just a eunuch in the Internal Supervision Department, how can he talk about Hardy's affairs?" I remembered Qiu Cheng's words last night, Ning Boyang smiled, lowered his voice and said: "Although Father-in-law Qian is not as powerful as those eight fathers-in-law, he is also deeply trusted by the emperor, I see you give it a try!" It's just that it costs some silver! If Father-in-law Zhang is willing to help, it will not be difficult. It's just that Father-in-law Zhang has never been enthusiastic about these mundane things, and he is strict, which is not easy for ordinary people to contact. ”

Ning Boyang said, looked around, and still said in a low voice: "You are currently in power, and it is indispensable to do things like today to raid your home, we can take the opportunity to get some!" ”

My face was hot, I used to receive a lot of money from officials, of course, not much, and I also did things for them. I didn't keep this money, I gave half of it to Bao Xiaobai, and the other half was used to eat and drink with my subordinates, and I also bought high-quality clothes for Shu'er, but I didn't have time to give it to her. Now that Ning Boyang mentioned it, I was a little embarrassed, and said in a low voice: "This thing can't be done, the law of Da Ming is very strict!" Ning Boyang grinned and said, "We are not for ourselves, but for our hard-working brothers." You will slowly know that the officials of the Ming Dynasty are not all as honest as you think, and you think that the people in the edict are all good people! ”

I smiled dumbly, and Ning Boyang said again: "Hardy is a small banner under the Jinyi guard, it is said that the Liao commander should be justified in coming forward, but you also know that you and Liao are both under the door of Zhang Gonggong, and Zhang Gonggong is at odds with Qian Gonggong, what do you say?" ”

I couldn't help laughing and said, "You all said that I was under Father-in-law Zhang, how could I follow Father-in-law Qian's door?" Ning Boyang rolled his eyes and said: "Things are man-made, and people who play an important role sometimes can't do small things, just like we, small people, can't do big things." A few years later, though, that may not be true! ”

I have always felt that Ning Boyang is very mysterious, and Liao Jianzhong also told me to beware of Ning Boyang, but we are righteous brothers, this mind is still much worse, seeing that someone led Xia Yuchun to report the matter, I could only nod and said: "Wait until this trip is over!" ”

Last night, Jinyiwei ordered the paperwork, and Shuntianfu blocked this place, and Xia Yuchun was even more positive. When he saw me from afar, he opened his mouth wide in surprise, but he quickly smiled, and before anyone else could speak, he gave a deep salute and said, "The deputy commander of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division will make Xia Yuchun see Lord Jinyi Wei Qianhu!" ”

I saw him hunched over, and hurriedly said, "Commander Xia, we are also familiar, so we don't need to be polite, what is the situation ahead?" ”

"Go back to the Thousand Households, today, Lord Yang, no, Yang Hong returned from the Qintianjian duty, bought some food from the morning market, and went home. As is customary, he will set off again in the hour! ”

"Well, in that case, Mr. Ning, quickly lead the brothers and surround his house, Commander Xia, your people will block the street, and we will arrest people!"

The Yang family is nothing more than five small houses facing the street, with a small courtyard and low courtyard walls. A willow tree was planted in the courtyard, which was bare in the cold winter season. The chimney on the roof was already smoking, and we broke in without much difficulty. I originally wanted to break into each room at the same time, but I remembered that Liao Jianzhong said that there was an eighty-year-old mother in his house, and I suddenly felt a little unbearable, so I asked for the room where Yang Hong lived, and motioned to Ning Boyang to call the door.

The door opened, and a plainly dressed woman opened the door, her face dignified, although she was dressed ordinarily, but she had a bit of a posture. Ning Boyang raised his waist card and said, "Jinyiwei is here to handle the case, and he wants to see Lord Yang Hongyang!" The woman was not flustered, and said, "My husband has just returned from duty and is resting, so you can go to the study and sit down!" ”

Ning Boyang shook his head and said bluntly: "We are acting on orders, and no one can stop us!" With that, I broke inside, and I whispered, "Don't be reckless!" "Everyone still poured in, looked around, and was dumbfounded, this place can only be described as a four-walled wall! Yang Hong was closing his eyes in the study to recuperate, we suddenly came in, he was taken aback, suddenly woke up, saw our outfit, and immediately understood. He stood up, coughed a few times, his thin body trembled a few times, his eyes were bloodshot, and he saw that he hadn't slept well last night, he stroked his beard, arched his hand at us, and said, "A few adults, let the officials wash their faces, put on their official uniforms, and go with you!" ”
