With the murder of Li Shanchang and others, the previous storm gradually passed, and the streets of Nanjing City returned to its former prosperity again. Merchants, craftsmen, peddlers and pawns performed their duties. After all, everyone had to live. As for the powerful people who died from the top, they rarely care about it, at most they just had a few more topics of conversation after meals.

However, on a street west of the Imperial City, it is rarely visited. Even though the streets next to it are very lively, few people dare to come to this street. Even if someone has to pass through this street, they are all very fast, as if they are afraid of being caught.

In the middle of this street, an inconspicuous yamen stands there, with three large characters "Zhenfushi" hanging on the door, which is also the famous Jinyiwei station.

Originally, the Jinyiwei was suppressed two years ago, and there was even rumors that the Jinyiwei would be cancelled. However, this time the Hu Weiyong case reoccurred, and the Jinyiwei's majesty immediately shook. Now it is almost impossible to get close to ghosts and gods. If someone is wearing a flying fish suit on the road, everyone around him will immediately retreat.

It can be said that after this case, the reputation of the Jinyiwei reached a peak again. The people in the capital did not even dare to mention the three words "Jinyiwei", let alone passing by the gate of the Fushishi.

However, the situation today is a little different. I saw a group of people galloping in the quiet street and soon stopped in front of the gate of the Fushimen. The guards in charge of guarding the gate were a little surprised. After all, no one dared to run wildly in front of the gate of the Fushimen. However, when I saw the clothes of the horseman, I was also shocked, because the other party was actually the imperial guard in the palace.

Li Jie rode on a horse and looked at the gate of the Fufu Division. It was his first time here. The Fufu Division is not divided into north and south, but only one Fufu Division. It was not until the Zhu Di period that the Fufu Division was divided into two parts. The Beifu Division was responsible for investigating the case, and the Nanfu Division was responsible for supervising and discipline. As for the East Factory and West Factory in the future, there was no trace of it now.

However, it is precisely because of the lack of those messy secret agencies that the power of the tutor in the early Ming Dynasty was extremely powerful, and there was no one to restrain him except the emperor. In this way, the power of the Jinyiwei became increasingly greater. No wonder Zhu Yuanzhang had to suppress the Jinyiwei and even stripped some power from the Jinyiwei. Otherwise, if they were allowed to grow up, they would sooner or later threaten the imperial power.

At this moment, a hundred households came out of the Fushima Division and probably received the report from the guards. He was stunned when he saw Li Jie on his horse, and then stepped forward and saluted, "The official is here to pay homage to Li Banju. I wonder what you are doing when you come to the Fushima Division?"

"Do you know me?" Li Jie also looked at the strange household in surprise. He was sure that he had never seen him.

"Li Ban knew something. As long as there are famous people in the capital, we almost all know each other!" The hundred households said proudly. The Jinyiwei started out by supervising ministers, so as long as there are officials with famous names in the court, they will draw images to keep the Jinyiwei in mind, let alone Li Jie is one of the key points of the Jinyiwei's attention.

"Is that true?" Li Jie refused to comment when he heard this, and then said again, "Where is Mao Xiang? Let him come out to see me!"

Li Jie called Mao Xiang by name, and he was still sitting on the horse now. It can be said that he was extremely arrogant. This changed the face of the Baihu in front of him. He had never seen anyone dared to be so disrespectful to the commander!

However, this hundred households were still very cautious, so they did not dare to get angry at this time. Instead, they looked at Li Jie carefully and said, "The commander is in the yamen. Why not go and report it and then ask Li Banju to come in and meet him?"

"Hmph!" Li Jie snorted coldly, immediately took out the imperial edict in his arms and said loudly, "I am in accordance with the imperial edict of Your Majesty, control the Jinyiwei, and let Mao Xiang come out to receive the edict!"

Seeing that Li Jie actually took out the imperial edict, Baihu was also shocked and immediately did not dare to say anything. He turned around and rushed in to report the news.

After a while, Mao Xiang took a group of Jinyiwei out to greet him. However, when he saw Li Jie, his face looked a little ugly, but he still went forward honestly and bowed: "The commander of the Jinyiwei Commander Mao Xiang received the order!"

Li Jie looked at Mao Xiang condescendingly and did not rush to read the imperial edict. In fact, Li Jie's arrogance was only three points true, and he pretended to be the remaining seven points because he knew that the Jinyiwei would be in trouble soon, especially Mao Xiang. After all, the rabbit was dead, so of course the lackeys left behind would not have any good ending!

This time, Li Jie had to rely on the power of the Jinyiwei and could not get too close to the other party, so he deliberately showed such arrogance, so that Mao Xiang would not be unlucky in the future.

Li Jie rode on the horse and looked at Mao Xiang. This was the first time he saw the other party outside the palace. Then he dismounted and opened the imperial edict and read it out: "The order, the coastal defense patrol commander Li Jie, control the Jinyiwei and the people and others!"

This imperial edict is very short, and it is actually not a formal imperial edict. At most it is a central edict, because the Jinyiwei belongs to the emperor and only needs one or two imperial edict at ordinary times. This time, at the request of Li Jie, Zhu Yuanzhang specially added a central edict.

"I obey the order!" Mao Xiang immediately accepted the order, and at the same time he secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Just now, he saw Li Jie's aggressive appearance, and thought the other party was here to question, but fortunately he was just restraining them.

But then Mao Xiang thought about doing things under Li Jie, and his heart was also nervous. He almost captured Li Jie's parents before, and this Liangzi couldn't get over it no matter what. Judging from the other party's performance just now, he obviously did not intend to reconcile with him.

Sure enough, when Mao Xiang was about to ponder, Li Jie next to him said sarcastically again: "Commander Mao, are you not planning to invite me in?"

"You..." Mao Xiang was also angry when he heard this. Since he took control of the Jinyiwei, no one except Zhu Yuanzhang had dared to talk to him like this. Even the important officials in the court had to be polite to him, but Li Jie looked like a villain, which was really hateful.

However, Li Jie came after all, and even if Mao Xiang was angry, he would not dare to have anger, so he had to suppress his anger and said, "Li Bandu, please come in!"

Li Jie was not polite to him, and immediately snorted coldly and walked straight to the front. The Jinyiwei behind Mao Xiang also looked at each other. However, some people knew the grudge between Li Jie and Mao Xiang, but these people were all huddled behind. After all, the gods were fighting, so they should not get up.

Li Jie stepped into the lobby of the peace department, and did not say hello to anyone, but went straight to the main hall, and then sat down. This made Mao Xiang behind him finally unable to help but say angrily: "Li Jie, don't bully people too much!"

It’s not that Mao Xiang was angry. Only he, the commander, could sit in the lobby. Even if Li Jie had the power to control the Jinyiwei, he was not the master here after all. He snatched Mao Xiang’s seat now, which was simply a slap in the face.

Li Jie sneered, then reached out and put the waist knife that he had been holding in his hand and put it on the table with a "bang" sound, "Mao Xiang, do you recognize this knife!"

Mao Xiang was frightened when he saw the knife on the table. He might not recognize him, but as a close minister beside Zhu Yuanzhang, he often went to and from the East Warehouse, so he naturally recognized that this was Zhu Yuanzhang's sword.

"Elephant Yiwei, everyone must listen to my restraint. If you dare not follow me, you will definitely be killed!" Li Jiaoguang stared at Mao Xiang ruthlessly. In fact, he did not really want to deal with Mao Xiang, but he had to take revenge before, so Li Jie wanted to humiliate Mao Xiang severely and also kill the chicken to warn the monkey, so that there would be no cat or dog that would mess with him in the future!

Facing Li Jie's threat, Mao Xiang felt extremely frustrated, but when he saw the sword in Li Jie's hand, he dared not refuse to obey. After all, Zhu Yuanzhang rewarded Li Jie with the sword, which had already shown his attitude, so no matter what Li Jie said, he had to do it.

"Li...Li Ban reads the anger! He was the rude official just now, so please don't blame him!" Finally Mao Xiang surrendered again.

The Jinyiwei behind Mao Xiang was also in an uproar at this time. This was the first time they encountered someone who dared to come to provoke him, but Mao Xiang still had to apologize. Now they refreshed their understanding of Li Jie again, and secretly labeled Li Jie as "can't be messed with".

Seeing Mao Xiang surrender, Li Jie nodded with satisfaction. In fact, he didn't like this either. After all, people who are too arrogant generally don't end up well, but there is no way. If you act kinder in the officialdom, it will make people think that you are weak and can be bullied. Maybe others will eat you up and not even lose. So when you should be tough, you must be tough, otherwise you will suffer.

"It's great. Now I'll give you a task. Before noon tomorrow, I want a detailed list of famous wealthy businessmen near the capital, especially the business under their names. The more detailed the business, the better!" Li Jie immediately ordered.

"Sir, please obey the order! It will be done before noon tomorrow!" Mao Xiang felt relieved when he heard this. He was worried that Li Jie would deliberately make things difficult for him. Unexpectedly, the other party just wanted detailed information about the wealthy businessman, which was just a piece of cake for their Jinyiwei.

"Very good, I'll come back tomorrow at noon!" Li Jie didn't drag on the slumber after saying that, and stood up and was about to leave.

However, when he left, Li Jie also saw Hu Jiang in the crowd. The two looked at each other, but neither said anything.

In fact, Li Jie had seen Hu Jiang for a long time. He had no good feelings for Hu Jiang, but when Hu Jiang went to capture his parents before, he could still treat him with courtesy, so Li Jie also recorded this favor. If he greeted him now, it would probably only make Mao Xiang hate Hu Jiang. In the future, he would not be easy to be a human being in the Jinyiwei.
