Sakura left the Fuguo Duke's Mansion sadly, feeling very depressed.【】
Moling Town, where she lives, is not far from Cimu Mountain in a straight line. Moling Town is in the southeast of Jinling, and Cimu Mountain is in the southwest of Jinling. The two places are originally on the south side of Jinling, and it doesn't take long to go back and forth on a quick horse.
But when she decided to ask for help from Xia Xun, she didn't know that Xia Xun was at the foot of Ci Lao Mountain. As a result, she ran all the way to the capital, but it was in vain. If she wanted to ask for help from him, she would have to rush to Ci Lao Mountain again.
It was getting late, and even though she was walking fast, she couldn't possibly rush all night to reach Ci Lao Mountain.
To solve this matter, they must rely on government officials, and they must be informed officials. Since they arrived in the Ming Dynasty, they have only dealt with two government officials: one Xia Xun and the other Ji Gang. Xia Xun is a person she is very familiar with.
, but she was really timid to see Xia Xun. As for Ji Gang, she had only met him once. Ji Gang's sharp eyes like an eagle left a deep impression on her. From the first glance, she knew she didn't like this person from the bottom of her heart.
Later, through the mouth of her tenant, she got to know more about Ji Gang's character. She knew that he had an extremely bad reputation among the people and was a very cruel official. Xiao Ying did not want to deal with this person even more.
Xiaoying asked someone about the location of the Jinyiwei Yamen, but hesitated to ask him for help. She led the horse and walked all the way, and rushed to the Jinyiwei Yamen without knowing it, but she was still struggling in her heart. As she walked, her hoofs behind her
There was a sudden sound, and someone shouted loudly: "Get out of the way, get out of the way, everyone, get out of the way!"
Sakura subconsciously dodged to the side of the road, turned her head, and saw four or five people on fast horses galloping past her. There was a person in between, wearing a scarlet official robe... His face was cold and majestic. This group of people was walking very fast.
, she was far behind in a moment. Xiaoying walked aimlessly, and when she looked up again, she saw a plaque hanging high on the lintel of the yamen door on the roadside, which read: "The Commander of the Jinyi Guards"
Sakura thought to herself: "Now that we are here, let's go and ask for help from Nozuna. It was he who arranged to secretly lead the queen into the palace... As long as we explain the situation to him, are we afraid that he will refuse to help?"
Xiaoying thought, looking around, she wanted to find someone to report inside, but at a glance, there was not even a guard guarding the door of the Jinyiwei Yamen. Xiaoying grew up on the grassland, so she didn't know how to do it.
She thought the yamen entrance should be tightly guarded... so she wasn't surprised. Since no one was there, she simply tied the horse to the hitching post and walked in.
Xiaoying entered the gate of Jin Yiwei. As soon as she arrived at the courtyard, she saw that the courtyard was crowded...it was so lively. No wonder no one was guarding the door. It turned out that two adults were fighting inside, and even the guard guarding the door ran in to join the excitement. The two gatekeepers
The shi guard was standing on tiptoes with a big gun, stretching his neck in an interesting manner. In the center of the crowd, Chen Ying and Ji Gang stood face to face like a cockfight. Chen Ying's face was ashen and sinking, while Ji Gang's chin was slightly raised.
, with a look of arrogance.
Chen Yinghan said: "Ji Gang... you and I are officials in the same dynasty... we are colleagues, so don't do things too badly!"
Ji Gang was "surprised" and said: "What, what, what did you say, Chen Butang... This is your fault. I select girls for the emperor. I am acting in accordance with the order. I am a minister and do my best to serve the emperor.
Why do you call it "getting things done"? Is it possible that doing things for the emperor with all your heart means doing things perfectly? Only with your eyes, Chen Butang, can you find a way to go. Mr. Chen Ying and Chen, you are so majestic!"
There was a commotion from the Jinyi captains all around, but Chen Ying suppressed her anger and said: "Ji Gang, you are a second-rank official of the imperial court. You must respect your status and don't act like a ruffian in front of the headquarters. I won't say more to you, as long as you
Let my niece go, and Chen will turn around and leave."
Ji Gang smiled and said: "I'm sorry, my niece is smart, beautiful and has outstanding character, so she has been selected!"
Chen Ying's face suddenly turned red, and she yelled angrily: "Ji Gang, this court just asked Ying Tianfu Yin, my niece's name is not on the list of candidates!"
Ji Gang's eyes turned cold, and he said pitifully: "It didn't happen before, but now it does!"
Chen Ying said in shock: "What?"
Ji Gang smiled coldly and said in a loud voice: "Here you come, take the list of the four treasures of the house!"
Immediately, two people from hundreds of households in brocade clothes came to him, one holding a list of beautiful women, the other holding a pen and ink, and stood in front of him. Ji Gang picked up the pen, moistened the ink, and asked in a long voice: "
What’s that girl’s name?”
"Sir, her name is Fan Xinlian!"
Ji Gang stared at Chen Ying with a provocative look, picked up a pen and wrote down the three characters "Fan Xinlian" on the hua roster, then slammed the pen at Chen Ying's feet, and laughed loudly: "Look, isn't this true?
Is it okay? Chen Buyuan, congratulations, congratulations! In the future, if you become a relative of the emperor, don’t forget Ji’s contribution today, ha, ha, ha, ha ha..."
Chen Ying was so angry that she was trembling all over. She pointed her halberd at Ji Gang and said sternly: "Hello, Ji Gang! Hello!"
Ji Gang smiled scornfully and said sternly: "I have always been very good, and I will be even better in the future! But for those who have trouble with me, Ji Gang, it is very difficult to think about it well! Don't you think so, Mr. Chen?"
Sakura stood behind the crowd, looking at Ji Gang's surly and violent face, her heart suddenly felt disgusted. She gritted her teeth and walked out as soon as she turned around.
Xiaoying hurried to the city gate, but secretly screamed in pain. It turned out that the sky was getting dark, and there were very few people going in and out. As a result, the city guards checked the people coming in and out more carefully, Xiaoying
Sakura's crude disguise cannot withstand the subtlety of others. If someone reveals that she is a girl... Sakura hesitates for a moment and then drives off. Now she has to find an inn to stay. Tomorrow, there will be many people coming in and out, and the inspection will be lax.
It's time to leave again.
※
In the Yang Family Courtyard at the foot of Ci Lao Mountain, an uninvited guest came early the next morning. They were Xin Lei and Fei He Wei. These two people have always been inseparable. Xu Jiang just arrived yesterday. If he had walked slower, he should still be there by now.
Before arriving in the capital, Xia Xun couldn't help but be surprised. He didn't know what urgent matter had happened in the capital. He didn't expect Xin Lei to be beaming with joy, but what he sent was good news.
This news was sent by Chen Dong, the criminal officer of Dongchang, to Fu Guogong's Mansion. The people who stayed behind in Fu Guogong's Mansion passed it to Qianlong Headquarters. Qianlong Headquarters felt that it was necessary to let the Duke know immediately, so they sent it.
In fact, they only want to say one thing: Chen Ying and Ji Gang are fighting.
The fight between Chen Ying and Ji Gang started because of Chen Ying's niece named Fan.
Jinyiwei is rampant in the capital... Dongchang was first established. Now it is far less powerful, prestige and authority than Jinyiwei, but this does not mean that Dongchang has done nothing. Dongchang has been watching every move of Jinyiwei and doing its best to
Understand all their actions. This is not entirely because of the bad relationship between Xia Xun and Ji Gang, but it is also in Dongchang's own interests.
The two secret espionage organizations have almost the same power and almost the same functions, which is destined to their competitive relationship. There is no room for two tigers in one mountain... If they cannot distinguish between superior and inferior, the overt and covert fight cannot stop. Since this draft is conducted by Jin Yiwei, Ying Tianfu It was run jointly with the Internal Supervisor Yamen, and Gong Muen of Dongchang Chang was the third-in-command of the Li Supervisor, so it was easy for Dongchang to place a large number of eyes and ears there.
A small village chief can use his privileges to help relatives and friends avoid the draft, let alone a family of officials. There are many cases where officials use their privileges to help their relatives avoid the draft, and Chen Ying's brother-in-law's family is just one of them... It turns out that It's nothing. But precisely because the relationship he relies on is Chen Ying, and Chen Ying and Ji Gang are not compatible, and it is Ji Gang who presides over the draft, so when this seemingly useless information fell into the hands of Chen Dong, the prisoner of Dongchang, It played a big role.
Chen Dong immediately thought that there was a lot to be done, so he immediately reported it to Mingchang Gong Mu En... Mu En was so good that he immediately notified the young eunuch through the palace channels to dig a hole for Chen Ying, and successfully provoked Chen Ying and Ji Gang A more intense conflict between the two parties. However, Dongchang is now far less powerful than Jinyiwei, and Mu En also lacks ruthless and sinister means. After provoking a conflict between the two parties, he is not good at making good use of it, so they gave this information to Xia Xun sent it.
Because Xie Jin was demoted, Xia Xun was seizing the time to collect clues about Chen Ying... When he heard about this... he suddenly felt that there was a lot to be done, but how to use it, he couldn't think of it for the moment. He tapped the desk gently and thought about it carefully. Xin Lei saw that he was thinking about something... so he picked up the tea cup and drank water carefully. After two sips of water, he suddenly remembered something again and couldn't help but let out an "ah" and said, "Oh, that's right..."
Xin Lei exclaimed and woke up immediately, disturbing the Duke's thinking. He was busy and silent, but Xia Xun had already heard it. He raised his head slightly, raised his eyebrows, and said "Huh?" in doubt. Xin Lei He hesitated and said: "Uh..., that's it. When I came from the house, my disciple mentioned something..."
"Um?"
"He said that yesterday a young man in black came to the house and asked to see the Duke. He asked him about his identity but refused to tell him. He only said that his name was Xiaoying, and said that he only needed to tell the Duke his name and surname to know his identity. He His face was full of anxiety, as if he had something important to do, but when he heard that the Duke was not at the house, he left in frustration."
Xia Xun frowned and said: "If you sign up without knowing your surname, you should be someone I know very well. It's strange, why can't I remember whose nephew's name has an English character? Xiaoying..., Xiaoying?" ah!"
Xia Xun stood up and asked urgently: "Xiaoying? You said she is a young man?"
Xin Lei said blankly: "That's what the disciples said, that he is a very handsome young man with a beautiful mustache..."
At this point, Xin Lei's voice stopped abruptly. After all, he had been a Metal Gear spy for many years, and he immediately figured out what was wrong.
Xia Xun snorted coldly: "You are young, how many of you know how to grow a beard? This person is not very proficient in the art of disguise, but he can even fool an expert like you!"
Xin Lei said politely: "This... I was not at the scene at the time. When I heard about it afterwards, I just listened casually and didn't take it seriously..."
Xia Xun glared at him and said, "If I guess correctly, this Xiaoying must be that Xiaoying.
If it weren't for something extremely embarrassing, I'm afraid she would never come to me. Let's go to Moling Town for a walk."
Without saying more, Xia Xun left the study, called two personal guards, and took Xin Lei and Fei Hewei with him. A group of five people, each riding a horse, whipped their horses and whipped, left Cimu Mountain and went straight to Moling Town.
At this time, Xiaoying, who had stayed in Jinling City for the whole night, had just left Jinling City and was rushing towards Ci Lao Mountain...
