Chapter 160 Urgent Report
Early the next morning, when the sky was misty, the sound of horse hooves broke through the pre-dawn silence of the capital.
If someone were standing on the street at this time, they would notice that there were two horses and two riders, one in front and one in back, and they seemed to be unwilling to fall behind.
When they were approaching the imperial city, the two fast horses parted ways, one heading towards Bei'anmen and the other towards Dong'anmen.
The neighborhood outside Bei'anmen was called Maoer Hutong in later generations. The name sounds a bit happy, but in this era, it was the location of Beizhen Fusi.
Several roosters crowed in the distance, and the dawn showed a glimmer of light. The fast horse panted and arrived in front of Fusi's door in Beizhen.
The man on the horse stumbled a little and fell off the horse, and then fell to his knees directly. This was the dizziness and weakness caused by running long distances day and night.
For more than five thousand miles, he couldn't even remember how many horses he killed along the way, before he finally reached the capital in the shortest time.
There was no need for anyone to guard the door of the Jinyiwei Yamen, but perhaps after hearing the sound of horse hooves, the dark door was pushed open, and several Jinyiwei came out with torches. Then they saw a person kneeling in front of the door, although there was no Jinyiwei.
Their clothes were just short-game attire, but they recognized the mailbox on their backs, it was for the exclusive use of Jinyiwei.
Without hesitation, several people hurried over to help him up. When the firelight reflected his face, they saw that he was extremely tired and unkempt, and his original appearance could not be seen.
"Quick! Take me to see the commander"
The hoarse voice sounded extremely weak and tired, but also extremely urgent.
Today is the day of the passing ceremony. According to the rules, all civil and military officials in Beijing must participate. Therefore, the commander will not come to the Yamen today. Not only the commander of the Jinyi Guards will not come, but also the Jinyi Guards and colleagues will not come. The whole
There are only a few thousand housekeepers left in Beizhen Fusi.
As for the senior officials of Jin Yiwei, after they wake up from their sleep in the palace, they will go directly to the palace to participate in the three-year passing ceremony.
But looking at the eagerness, the Jinyi guards did not dare to neglect, knowing that this was probably an urgent matter. They couldn't help but look at each other, and they could see that each other looked a little troubled.
After looking at each other for a moment, one of the guards in Jinyi suddenly turned around and walked out of the Yamen, neatly mounted the horse, which was also very tired, and then swung his whip and walked away.
Mou Bin had just changed into the imperially-given flying fish suit in the mansion, and was going to rest at home for a while before entering the palace to attend the passing ceremony. However, he did not expect that the commander-in-chief of the Jin Yiwei came to the mansion at this moment, saying that there was an urgent report.
When dawn breaks, where is the urgent news?
Although he was puzzled, Mou Bin did not dare to neglect. He mounted his horse and rushed to the Fusi Yamen in Beizhen together with the flag officer of the Imperial Guard.
When he entered the main hall and saw the weak and tired Jinyiwei messenger, his heart skipped a beat. Before he even had time to sit up, Mou Bin personally took the mailbox from behind him.
After he took the letter out of the mailbox and opened the envelope to see the contents inside, Mou Bin's pupils shrank violently, and then he looked confused, "This, is the content of this report true?"
The messenger fought back his tiredness and said: "Sir, the report came from a humble position and a group of brothers who made inquiries from various sources. They saw it with their own eyes and there is no lie at all."
Hearing this, the last trace of luck in Mou Bin's heart disappeared. He looked at the report in his hand, and a sense of shock continued to flow out of his heart, and then all gathered on his face.
His temples were bulging and he was a little unsteady about the report in his hand. How dare those officials from Guangdong do this? How dare they do this?
If this report is true, I am afraid that in the near future, the people in Guangnan and even the entire Guangdong will rise up.
By then, the corruption in Huguang and other places will spread to southern Zhili
Thinking of this, Mou Bin felt dazed for a while, and he didn't dare to think about it anymore. He couldn't help but take a few steps back, and quickly reached out to hold the desk.
In addition to the shock and horror, Mou Bin also felt a little confused at this time. He didn't know whether he should hand this report to the emperor, or how to hand it in.
He must hand it over, and he didn't dare to cover it with such a hot lid.
What he is worried about is how the emperor will react once this report is handed in. If there is any good or bad, he will
"Go, hurry up and go to Dongchang to inquire. Dongchang also sent a police officer under the emperor's order this time to see if they have received the report and whether they will submit it to the palace!"
Mou Bin remembered this matter at this time, and then, as if grasping at a life-saving straw, he quickly ordered people to go to Dongchang to inquire.
I must not be the first person to submit this memorial to the palace.
————————————————————————
Dongchang did receive the report at this time, and got it ahead of Jinyiwei. After all, Dong'anmen was closer to Bei'anmen.
In a slightly gloomy lobby, a painting is enshrined in the middle. The paper of the painting is a little yellowed, as if it has been hung for a long time, and it seems because of the incense burner on the table.
The incense in the incense burner burns all the time, burning night after night, and the thin green smoke fills the air all year round.
This is the Dongji Office, and the person in the painting must be Yue Fei and Yue Wumu, and it can only be this famous anti-gold general.
Although many people secretly despised the hanging of this portrait in Dongjishi Factory, thinking that it was a disgrace to this famous anti-gold general, they never dared to say it out loud, and even had to praise it. Yue Wumu Ruo knew
It must be extremely gratifying to have his portrait enshrined here.
At this time, sitting next to the portrait, Eunuch Xiao, or Eunuch Xiao Xiao, the actual person in charge of Dongchang was sitting. As a eunuch, he did not have to attend the passing ceremony. He even had food and accommodation in Dongchang.
Therefore, he had already read the memorial, and at this time, his always dull face finally had an expression of shock, shock, and disbelief.
There are many expressions, but when they are put together, in the eyes of others, all they see are penetrating and terrifying.
So much so that Dongchang Fanzi, who had traveled a long distance to deliver this urgent report, was obviously weak and tired, but he still managed to kneel down in the hall.
After a long silence, Eunuch Xiao finally spoke, "Did anyone from the Jinyi Guards receive this report?"
"When I return to my father-in-law, I entered the capital together with the spies from the Jin Yiwei. I think I have already received..."
"Did Mou Bin from Jinyiwei ever go to the palace to report?"
"This, I don't know this humble position."
"."
Eunuch Xiao didn't speak any more. He tapped his fingers lightly on the armrest of the seat. He was silent, seeming to be thinking about something, and seemed to have returned to that boring state.
After a long time, he finally stood up and uttered two words calmly, "Prepare the horse."
