In the East Police Factory, Lin Shangli walked out of the back hall with a smile on his face.
Today, as soon as he came back from the palace, Xiao Lizi mysteriously told himself that the Commander of the Imperial Guard had been waiting for him for a long time.
This Jin Yiwei had almost no contact with him after Ji Gang's downfall.
Especially this new commander, who had never had any interaction before.
It was only after the establishment of the East Factory that we roughly knew that the new commander was transferred from Tianjin Guard.
Come as soon as you come, treat it as a daily visit.
However, there must be something wrong with waiting for him to come back.
I originally thought that if I asked Xiao Lizi to send him away, the case in hand must have pointed the finger at Jin Yiwei. In order to avoid suspicion, it would be better to have as few interactions with them as possible.
But in a blink of an eye, I thought that only by knowing yourself and the enemy can you be victorious in every battle, so it would be a good idea to explore the tone of the new commander first.
"Commander Xu, I've kept you waiting for a long time." Lin Shangli raised his fists and said hello with a smile.
Xu Kaiying hurriedly stood up, clasped her hands and returned the greeting: "No, no, the factory master is very busy with official duties, and he often goes to the palace to report to the emperor, so it doesn't matter if I wait for a while."
The boss of the East Factory was the emperor's favored eunuch.
Although he is the commander of the Jin Yiwei, he must have just taken up the position. Whether it is his qualifications or the emperor's trust, there is no difference at all.
There is no harm in keeping a low profile in front of such a powerful figure.
"Commander, please." Lin Shangli raised his hand, pointed to the other party's seat, and slowly sat down. He held the tea bowl on the table and played with it slowly.
"Commander came here today, is there something wrong?" Lin Shangli said with a smile, feeling that the atmosphere was a bit awkward.
"Not long ago, my fellow countryman who works as an errand in Yunnan sent me two cans of Pu'er ripe tea. The temperature in our capital is cold, and drinking this Pu'er ripe tea is not only fragrant and delicious, but also nourishes the spleen and stomach. So,
Today I specially sent a can to the factory owner."
As he spoke, Xu Kaiying gently pushed an exquisite white porcelain jar placed on the table.
"Here he is, bringing such a precious gift. Yunnan is the border of the Ming Dynasty, and it is far away from the capital. This jar of Pu'er is a rare thing, so the commander is interested." Lin Shangli had a smile on his face and put the bottle in his hand.
He held the white porcelain jar in his hand.
"Xiao Lizi, make two bowls of Pu'er ripe tea and let me and the commander have a taste," Lin Shangli said.
"Yes." Xiao Lizi responded softly, took the porcelain jar and walked into the back hall.
"Commander, do you have other things to do when you come today?" Lin Shangli said with a smile.
"Haha," Xu Kaiying's face was full of smiles, "I have something to ask for today, and I want to ask the factory owner."
Lin Shangli was stunned: "Please? Our Dongchang and Jinyiwei are going their own way. It seems there is nothing we can do to help the commander."
"It's like this," Xu Kaiying cleared her throat and tried to make her voice more tactful, "The fifth thousand households of Jinyiwei, together with a hundred households, and about twenty famous school captains, were killed by the Thirteenth Battle of Dongchang.
Detain them. I would like to ask the factory owner to let them go if they have not made any serious mistakes. As for compensation, it is easy to talk about."
"In the Thirteenth Battle, a member of the Jinyiwei was detained? Why didn't I know at all? Are you sure it was not arrest, but detention?" Lin Shangli was stunned.
This Xiao Chen was still in the palace in the morning, and he made such a big noise when he came out, but he didn't report it.
"Little plum." Lin Shangli shouted.
Xiao Lizi, who was making tea, quickly put down the objects in his hands and ran out.
"Today, did Xiao Chen report any action taken during the Thirteenth Battle?" Lin Shangli asked in confusion.
"No, didn't he come into the palace with you? We are not allowed to wear weapons in the palace, and his knife is still here with me." Xiao Lizi also frowned, not knowing why.
"That's strange." Lin Shangli looked at Xu Kaiying, "Are you sure it was the 13th Battle of Dongchang who detained the Jin Yiwei?"
Xu Kaiying stood up and cupped her hands: "Master Factory Lord, after the people from the Thirteenth Army detained the person, they sent the news back to the Yamen of the Jinyiwei Commander's Department. Otherwise, I would not dare to plead with the Factory Lord casually.
"
Xu Kaiying's face was full of respect.
"Xiao Lizi, tell Xiao Chen that Duan Tianming is coming to see me." Lin Shangli ordered.
"Yes." After hearing this, Xiao Lizi ran out quickly.
"Lord Commander, let's wait for a moment. When the people from the Thirteenth Army arrive, I'll find out what's going on." Lin Shangli said with a smile.
Not long after, Xiao Chen and Duan Tianming walked into the East Factory Hall.
"My subordinates, Duan Tianming and Xiao Chen, meet Mr. Factory Master." The two of them saluted hurriedly.
"Okay, get up." Lin Shangli pointed to Xu Kaiying next to him, "Do you know who this is? Mr. Xu, commander of the Jinyi Guards."
"I've met Commander Xu." The two of them saluted hurriedly.
Although the other party is only the commander of Jinyiwei, being able to sit with the factory owner is indispensable in view of the etiquette of superiors.
"Commander Xu came over and said that you detained members of the Jinyi Guards. Is this true?" Lin Shangli deliberately made a serious face and raised his voice.
"Sir, sir, this is indeed true. Before we had time to report to you, little plum arrived." Xiao Chen said calmly.
After glaring at the two of them, Lin Shangli said: "Why are they being detained?"
"They gathered to make trouble at the gate of the Thirteenth Battle, and falsely accused me of destroying their embroidered spring knives. I argued with them, and they started to take action. In desperation, I had no choice but to detain them all and wait for the factory manager.
Your Majesty, I'm sorry." Xiao Chen said with a serious face.
"Destroyed the Xiuchundao? When did this happen? In the morning, you were still with me and the emperor. When did you destroy their Xiuchundao? Besides, the Xiuchundao is made with thousands of tempers.
, is it so easy to destroy?" Although he looked at Xiao Chen, Lin Shangli's words were clearly meant for Xu Kaiying's ears.
He carried out the emperor again, and said that the embroidered spring knife was hardened and could not be damaged. Even a fool could see that Lin Shangli had already started to protect the calf.
"Master Factory Lord, it seems that the people from Jinyiwei have indeed wronged Dongchang. Seeing that everyone is working for the emperor, Lord Factory Lord, please let them go." Xu Kaiying was extremely angry, but she still had to accompany her.
Smiling face, he spoke softly.
"To slander them is to slander Dongchang, and to slander the emperor." Lin Shangli snorted coldly, "This matter can be big or small, it all depends on how the commander wants to handle it."
After hearing this, Xiao Chen couldn't help but feel admiration in his heart.
It is said that ginger is still hot when he is old. The factory owner who usually has a nice smile turned out to be so "domineering" when he became ruthless.
