The commander of Jinyi Guards, Xu Kaiying, was sitting in front of the hall, holding a bowl of hot tea, but was not in the mood to drink it.
Now, all the captains of the Jin Yiwei who can be dispatched have been dispatched. The prince was kidnapped, which is a big deal. Although the incident happened in the Ministry of Justice, no one can escape the involvement of all the imperial troops defending the capital.
Among these forbidden troops, the Jin Yiwei has the greatest power and the largest number of personnel. If the prince cannot be found, his position as the Jin Yiwei may really come to an end.
Whether the head on the item can be saved depends only on the emperor's mood.
In Xu Kaiying's heart, she couldn't help but cry out for injustice on behalf of the Ministry of Punishment.
Although until now, no one knows who kidnapped His Royal Highness the Crown Prince from the Ministry of Punishment, Xu Kaiying's heart is suspicious of the mysterious group of men in black who massacred the Jin Yiwei before.
This Li An really doesn't know how much he weighs. The group of people killed more than 600 Jinyi guardsmen in order to enter the Dongchang prison. With such strong strength, he dared to accept the prince into the Penal Department prison.
Alas, now the prison has been lost, the prince has been kidnapped, and the entire Ming Dynasty has no peace.
It’s true that the purple-robed captain handed over the prince to Dongchang. He knew how to ask the Jinyiwei to support Dongchang, but he still dared to secretly transfer the prince to the Ministry of Punishment. How much trust does this have in the Ministry of Punishment?!
Although his current personal relationship with Li An, the Minister of Punishment, is very good, wouldn't this be harmful to Mr. Li?
Even if Li An is absolutely reliable, who in the Ministry of Punishment knows whether it is a piece of metal? What's more, facing that powerful opponent, secret whistles should be scattered everywhere on the street, Dongchang's
Every move was under their surveillance. This time, Captain Ziyi took a desperate risk and made a mistake.
In such a big capital, it's not easy to find someone, alas...
Xu Kaiying let out a long sigh.
"Your Majesty, Commander, Sir Jiang Qianxiaojiang, the Censor of the Left Capital of the Inspectorate, would like to see you." A captain on duty came in, raised his fists, saluted Xu Kaiying, and said respectfully.
"Master Jiang of the Inspectorate? Didn't the emperor hand over Captain Ziyi and Master Li, the Minister of Punishment, to him for review? Why would he come to our Jinyi Guards if he wasn't busy with his own business?" Xu Kaiying put down the tea bowl in his hand and pondered for a moment.
Although he was thinking this in his mind, the other party was on an equal footing with the members of the Six Departments. As the commander of the Imperial Guards, I still did not dare to turn him away casually.
"Let's go, come with me to the gate." Xu Kaiying stood up, greeted the captain, and hurriedly walked towards the gate.
At the gate, Jiang Qianxiao, dressed in the uniform of a second-rank imperial official, stood in front of his carriage, waiting quietly.
"Master Jiang, aren't you busy with the case assigned to you by the emperor? Why did you suddenly come to our Jin Yiwei?" Xu Kaiying smiled, folded her hands, and saluted Jiang Qianxiao.
"Oh, Commander Xu." Hearing the voice, Jiang Qianxiao turned around and saw Xu Kaiying with a smile on her face. She cupped her fists and returned the greeting, "I came to Jinyi Guard today because I have an important matter and I want to discuss it with Commander Xu."
"Oh? Important thing? That must be official business. Mr. Jiang, please come inside." After saying that, Xu Kaiying stepped aside and opened the door. She made an inviting gesture with her right hand and said respectfully.
"Please." Jiang Qianxiao said politely and moved slowly.
Walking into the hall, Xu Kaiying gave Jiang Qianxiao a seat at the table, and then he slowly sat down. Then he hurriedly ordered the captain on duty to make a bowl of hot tea for Jiang Qianxiao.
After all the polite things were done, Xu Kaiying straightened her body and looked at the other party: "Master Jiang, you are coming to Jinyiwei now. If you have something to say, you may as well tell me directly."
"Ahem, cough..." Jiang Qianxiao cleared his throat and smiled slightly, "I'm here because I want to trouble Commander Xu with something."
"Sir, please speak." Xu Kaiying said politely, but she was slightly startled.
The Inspectorate and the Jinyiwei usually do not have anything to do with each other on matters of affairs. Master Jiang said that he wants to trouble the Jinyiwei, but it is a bit confusing. What is there about the Jinyiwei that is worthy of the Inspectorate's trouble?
"The Ministry of Punishment has caused such a big mess this time. All the troops in the entire capital have been mobilized to search for the whereabouts of His Royal Highness. However, the two people directly responsible for Dongchang and the Ministry of Punishment, Colonel Ziyi and Lord Li Anli, the Minister of Punishment, are the emperor.
They were handed over to the Inspectorate for investigation. Now, the two of them are being detained in the place where prisoners are temporarily detained by the Inspectorate. I always felt something was wrong, so I came over and wanted to ask Commander Xu for help." Holding the tea bowl with one hand.
, Jiang Qianxiao said with a smile.
Xu Kaiying was startled: "Master Jiang, do you want Jin Yiwei to assist in the investigation?"
"No, no, no," Jiang Qianxiao shook his head, "That's not what I meant. What I mean is that the temporary detention center for prisoners in the Superintendent's Office is poorly equipped. Whether it is housing or food, it is okay to make do with it. But these two
, they are all respectable people, and in my opinion, this matter will not be closed for a while. But for the two of them, neither the Dongchang Prison nor the Criminal Department Prison is suitable to imprison them. So, I thought
I want to imprison the two of them in the Jinyiwei prison first."
"I'm afraid this is inappropriate." Xu Kaiying hurriedly refused, "These two people were designated by the Emperor to be handed over to the Inspectorate. How could they change the place of detention at will and change it to the Jinyi Guard Prison? Besides, since Fusi Town, Beizhen
After the governor Liao Xianghe was captured by Dongchang, the Jinyiwei's prison was no longer in name only. But this time, the matter was so big that all the Jinyiwei captains who could be dispatched had already gone to the streets to search for the prince.
I accept that these two people will be imprisoned in Jinyiwei Prison, and there is no one to guard them now."
Xu Kaiying shook her head in embarrassment and told Jin Yiwei's difficulties.
The current Colonel in Ziyi and Li An, the Secretary of the Ministry of Justice, are the culprits of this incident and the targets of the emperor's anger. They will not contact each other if they can. Everyone hides as far away as possible, and they are full.
Yes, I accepted them into the Jinyi Guard Prison because I was afraid that the emperor wouldn't see them and wanted to make their presence felt.
"Commander Xu is worried that they are the culprits of this matter, and is he afraid that he will be implicated?" Jiang Qianxiao said with a smile. The implication was that he had already clearly seen the little Jiujiu in Xu Kaiying's mind.
Hearing the other party speak directly about what was on his mind, Xu Kaiying's face felt awkward for a while: "Mr. Jiang, you don't know that I have just been the commander of the Jinyi Guards for a short time. I haven't made any achievements yet, but I lost money all at once a while ago.
He lost more than 600 famous school captains. Although the loss was due to protecting the prince, the loss of so much at once, in the emperor's mind, Jin Yiwei's ability to do things was greatly reduced. Moreover, since the establishment of Dongchang, the prison of Jin Yiwei has been greatly reduced.
, no new prisoners have been imprisoned. This sudden reopening of the imperial prison cell in Fusi, Beizhen, I'm afraid someone will gossip."
"Gossip, what are you talking about? Both Jinyiwei and Dongchang are agencies directly under the emperor, and they all serve the emperor. The emperor has not abolished Jinyiwei Prison, which means that the prison has its value. Now, Dongchang Prison cannot be used
, the prison of the Ministry of Punishment cannot be used, and only the imperial prison of Fusi in Jinyiwei North Town is left. Does Commander Xu really not intend to let the Inspectorate use it?" Jiang Qianxiao saw that Xu Kaiying was not enlightened at all, and just slapped him with a big hat.
Up.
Both the current Dongchang and the former Jinyiwei relied on the emperor's favor to kill people by force.
But the Inspectorate, in accordance with the laws of the Ming Dynasty, killed people with words.
If you are targeted by the Inspectorate, you will most likely not be able to escape the final sanction. Because under the hands of those censors, a small mistake can make you go around in a big circle and then be replaced by a big hat.
, buckle it on your head.
As for Xu Kaiying, hearing Jiang Qianxiao's tone became a little heavy, her heart thumped and she secretly complained.
We Jinyiwei have already kept such a low profile, why can't you bypass Jinyiwei? There are only two prisoners, so what's wrong with being imprisoned in the Inspectorate? They must be imprisoned in Jinyiwei.
I have said so many good things, but you still don't let Jin Yiwei go. Now, you are going to slap me with a big hat. Alas, the official level will crush people to death. These words are not false at all.
"If Mr. Jiang insists on locking them up in Jinyiwei, what else can I say? Now I will send someone to take them to the Jinyiwei prison?" Xu Kaiying said with a wry smile.
Seeing that the other party agreed to his request, Jiang Qianxiao also smiled on his face, and his tone became much more friendly. He picked up the tea bowl on the table, shook it, and took a sip.
"Is this Pu'er ripe tea from Yunnan? Commander Xu really knows how to drink tea. In this season, drinking this kind of ripe tea will warm your stomach."
Xu Kaiying nodded: "Mr. Jiang has good eyesight. This tea is exactly the ripe Pu'er tea from Yunnan. I don't know whether it warms the stomach or not, but my stomach feels very comfortable after drinking it."
"Commander Xu is very low-key. It is obviously cooked tea that warms the stomach, but he pretends not to understand and only says that it tastes very comfortable. Could it be that in the eyes of Commander Xu, I, Jiang Qianxiao, am just an outsider and not worth it?
Are you speaking from your heart?" Jiang Qianxiao took another sip of tea and said with a smile.
"Where is it?" Xu Kaiying was startled in his heart, but he hurriedly said: "Master Jiang is a second-rank official of the imperial court who is on an equal footing with the six tribes, and the lower official is only a third-rank warrior. How dare he get close to you, sir? If sir,
I don’t look down on my subordinates, I will definitely treat you as a honored guest.”
What's Mr. Jiang doing today? One moment he says it's business, and the next moment he talks about not treating him as one of his own. Isn't he just imprisoning two criminals? As for such nonsense?
"Okay, since Commander Xu said this, I might as well tell you that imprisoning these two people in Jinyi Guard is an opportunity that Commander Xu will never have again."
A trace of mystery flashed in Jiang Qianxiao's eyes.
