It was snowing last night, and the atmosphere was sunny today.

The Chinese New Year is also looking forward to spring. In winter, we look forward to spring warm, but spring is cold. In the blue sky, white clouds are covered with white clouds.

The bright sunshine shines on the earth from the blue sky, and the capital in the early morning is full of peace.

But under the sun, there will always be a place covered by shadows.

This is a magnificent building, located on the side of Yuewang Temple in the western suburbs of Yingtian Prefecture, the bridges and eaves are full of the majestic atmosphere of the government. But this is also the darkest place for everyone to talk about in the Ming Dynasty.

Jinyiwei, the garrison, and the imperial prison.

This is a place where people eat and don’t spit bones. Whether they are dukes or first-rank officials, royal relatives or founding nobles, as long as they enter here, the only thing they can do is pray to die soon and not suffer death.

In the courtyard, some of them were not wearing flying fish suits, and were walking around in the close-fitting stickers. The blood stains on their hands and clothes that had not yet dried up were particularly dazzling.

The air was filled with the burnt smell of flesh and blood, with continuous screams and the sound of torture instruments falling on the flesh and blood echoed in the various torture rooms.

Jinyiwei Jiang Yan sat upright in a bright hall with bright windows and sunlight shone in from outside, making the atmosphere inside and outside bright. Although this place is bright, it is ominous, because the house is filled with heart-wrenching screams from outside.

The place where he was sitting was facing the gate. In the courtyard outside the gate, the plum blossoms were blooming proudly. He looked straight, but it seemed that he was not looking at the flowers, but at his enemy.

His eyes were so vicious and his face was so cold.

On the left hand, the dried blood in the white bandage turned black, and the fingers leaking outside the bandage were covered with blue and purple.

Ah! Stop hitting, stop hitting! I said, I recognize whatever you ask me to say!

Outside, there was a collapsed beg for mercy. Jiang Yun squeezed out a little sneer on his cold face and showed a little pleasure.

In the case of the Zhao family in Hangzhou, the Jinyiwei lost all his face and he was almost killed by the emperor. He did not dare to complain about the emperor, but he was full of hatred for the criminals who were arrested in the Pacification Division.

He hated these people, and almost made him lose his head, his official position, and everything. Outsiders looked at him as the commander of the Jinyiwei, but only he knew the taste.

He was the emperor's dog, and the Jinyiwei was a group of dogs. The emperor would not stay. Mao Xiang, the former commander of the Jinyiwei, was more valued and more glorious than him, but he was also killed in the end. He was cautious for so many years, not only stood in the emperor's heart, but also left a good impression on the emperor's grandson, and almost ruined all these bastards and corrupt officials.

I was thinking that someone came in outside, and it was Jiang Yan's confidant, Li Baoguo, the assistant minister of the Jinyiwei and the Qianhu of the Criminal Department. He was cruel and ruthless, but some of his brains were not enough, and he was better at loyalty.

Lord, I have all taken it! Li Baoguo wiped the blood on his hands on his pants and began to say, "There are thirty-seven Beijing officials, 46 officials, and the inspectors of the county, the city gate army, and the constables in Yingtian Prefecture have a total of 124 people!

There are many foreign officials involved. My subordinates just calculated that there are almost all involved in the area. There are no less than 200 people above the fifth rank, including the Shandong Provincial Commissioner and Hunan Provincial Commissioner!

As he said that, he took out a few pieces of paper and placed it on the table. This is the list! There is also a detailed account book of their money.

Everyone was caught! Jiang Yan didn't even look at it, frowned.

The leaders were arrested, and the minor officials involved in Yingtian Prefecture and the minor officials had not had time to arrest them!

It’s not that there is no time, but that more and more people are catching and biting it out.

Why are you still standing there? Take it! Jiang Yan said impatiently, "I would rather kill the wrong person than let it go." As long as the criminal mentions it, you will be arrested!"

OK! Li Baoguo agreed, turned around and went out, shouting, "From the Criminal Department, come out and two teams of people, and go arrest me with me!"

There was another noise outside.

Jiang Yan sat in the room, thinking in his heart that it is easy to arrest officials in Beijing, but foreign officials still need some effort. Should we notify the local Jinyiwei, or send people from the capital?

Thinking of this, I felt annoyed again. The Jinyiwei from all over the world was also a group of waste. For such a big case, I couldn’t find out any news.

Suddenly, he understood a little. It was not that he could not inquire, but that the Jinyiwei from all over the country concealed and refused to report it. Maybe they had already colluded with local officials.

It's time to clean it up!

Jiang Yan snorted coldly in his heart, picked up the order that Li Baoguo put down, and started to look through it.

Arrest and complaining the people have become a means for these corrupt officials in the capital to make money. The local government's filial piety is divided into layers, forming a huge network of interests.

Although there are not many silver and money for filial piety in the local area, the largest one is only a few hundred taels a year, the number of people below is only a few dozen taels, and the number of errands is just a few taels. However, the favor is huge, which means that the local officials have the handle in the hands of others.

There is so much money on the surface, but it may be much in private! Like Chen Ji, the chief minister of Yingtian Mansion, if he wants money, would the local officials dare not give it?

It is said that the Jinyiwei is unscrupulous, but the officials are unscrupulous!

Jiang Yan cursed, but the next second he was so scared that he almost bit off his tongue.

The Nancheng Inspection Department will be divided into 300 taels of silver every year, commanding the soldiers and horses will be commanded by 100 taels, commanding the soldiers and horses will be commanded by 60 taels, inspecting for 40 taels, and the rest will be divided into squads...

With a swish, Jiang Yan's cold sweat came down. The commander of the Nancheng army was Zhao Sili, the future father-in-law of the crown prince!

Who fucked this name?

If the water is clear, there will be no fish. No matter how honest a person is, there is no way to give up some things. Moreover, the money will be paid by rewards. If Zhao Sili wants to stay in Yingtian Mansion, he must collect the money. Otherwise, he will be excluded by his colleagues, obeyed by his subordinates, and be wary of Shangguan.

Jiang Yan understood this truth very well, but when it comes to this person, he was too scared!

At that moment, he quickly rushed out with the order and caught up with Li Baoguo who was about to go out.

Don't catch it! Don't catch it!

Jiang Yan begged all over the sky, and he was already shameless with the emperor. If he was annoying His Royal Highness, it would not be a knife in his hand, it would be a loss of his head.

Li Baoguo!

Li Baoguo, who was taking people out, turned around and said, "Sir, what else do you have to give?"

Jiang Yan pulled him to a secluded corner and whispered, "Did you arrest Zhao Sili, the commander of the South City?"

Zhao Sili? Li Baoguo thought about it, it should be gone! As he said, he asked, "Sir, the younger one is going to catch me!"

Catch your grandma!

Jiang Yan swung his arm around and was a big shave. The latter suddenly had a star-eyed look and was unable to stand firmly.

Don’t you know who he is? Jiang Yan continued to scold, don’t you fucking read the imperial court’s newspaper or the emperor’s imperial edict?

Li Baoguo covered his face and thought for a long time, who is he?

Jiang Yan was speechless, you are such a fool! He is the father-in-law of the crown prince. Now their family has the gate of the imperial guards appointed by the emperor!

No wonder I feel it’s so familiar! Li Baoguo was shocked and covered his face. Fortunately, he didn’t catch it, otherwise he would have pleated!

Now it's pleated! Jiang Yan said angrily, who bit off Zhao Sili's name? Who has seen this list?

The Nancheng inspection recruited! Li Bao Guodao, you only saw this list, no one!

I found all the files and transcripts! Also, the record secretary also came! Jiang Yan said angrily, hurry up!

If Zhao Sili's name is reported, he, the commander of the Jinyiwei, will be over, and he may not be over. Jiang Yan saw it with his own eyes and heard it with his own ears. The old emperor praised the future crown princess.

Then, in the bright and clean hall just now, the windows and doors were covered and blocked. The Jinyiwei, the secretary of the record, etc. who participated in the interrogation, were present.

Jiang Yan solemnly ordered the files and confessions to rewrite, causing them to re-encode, and told everyone sternly that no matter who confessed, the three words Zhao Sili were allowed to appear.

After the subordinates dispersed, they lit a brazier in the house and threw all the lists involving Zhao Sili into the fire.

But the next second, regardless of the flame, he pulled out the confession file again, carefully wiped away the stains on it, and stuffed it into his arms.

~~~

Nancheng, Niangniang Lane, Zhao Mansion.

Zhao Sili and his wife looked out carefully through the gaps in the door.

Outside the door, two Jinyiwei guards guarded their waists, but the entrance of the alley was filled with anxious people. Those were the families of colleagues in the yamen, and even the families of their former bosses.

Why are they still here? Zhao asked in a trembling voice.

Zhao Sili was swaying in her heart and said, "Don't be afraid, let's close the door and no one will see you!"

Since his daughter was appointed as the princess by the emperor, Zhao Sili's status in the yamen has soared. There have been endless people who have been in contact these days. The threshold of his Zhao family is about to be broken, and even his former boss has begun to flatter him carefully.

But there were not as many people that day as yesterday.

As soon as the case of the knock-out case broke out, his colleagues and superiors were arrested one after another. All the families of those people came to his house and asked him to help save people.

Zhao Sili was not so arrogant. The Jinyiwei arrested people without passing through the Ministry of Justice, and it was obvious that it was the emperor's intention. At this time, he was too late to clear him, so how could he still get up?

But others don’t think so. The family members of his colleagues and friends who are close friends are dying from the Zhao family without help. After finally clearing them out, these people are blocked at the entrance of the alley.

Although he is a big official, he is a Beijing official and has seen more people. In the past few years, Hu Weiyong's case and Li Shanchang's case were all in this way. Some people, because they asked casually about the case, were taken directly by the Jinyiwei, and their homes were beheaded.

Several marquis and dukes who fought against the old emperor had died. If the Zhao family was involved, they would have to cause trouble if they had nothing to do.

Besides, he was actually not sure. Although he was honest and didn't take the money he shouldn't have, he was in charge of the patrol and security forces in Nancheng, and he could not refuse the gray income he had to pay attention to every year.

If it is turned out...

That is a shocking case! As long as you get involved, you won’t have a good ending!

It will definitely be turned out, let alone entered the Jinyiwei's custody department. Even if the prisoner enters the Bingma Si, he will have to bite him to survive. A prisoner can often pull out a string.

Fortunately, my ancestors blessed me and gave birth to a good daughter. Otherwise, Zhao Sili would have gone in at this time.

The head of the family, our family cannot be implicated! Zhao asked with a pale face.

With our daughter here, as long as we don’t open the door and don’t get involved with them, it’s okay! Zhao Sili has a backbone in his heart and said, “We are in-laws with the emperor!”

Dad! Mom! What are you doing? A voice suddenly came from behind, it was Zhao Ning'er.

Zhao Ning'er is still the same as before, and she has not worn gold and silver because of her identity.

Daughter, it’s okay! Zhao Sili smiled fiercely, if you don’t stay in the house, why are you doing?

Zhao Ning'er curled her lips and said, "Learn to be stupid when learning rules in the house all day long!"
