Daming Town Haiwang

Chapter 232, the speed of the factory guard
In Hu Wan'an's secret house in the capital, Hu Wan'an knew everything that had happened in the morning at the first time, and suddenly he became anxious.

"How could Xiao Jing be asked to investigate this case?"

Hu Wan'an was a little unbelievable. They had already studied Emperor Hongzhi's character thoroughly, and knew everything about Emperor Hongzhi. This is a good emperor, and he is also an emperor who is close to civil servants. He has been on the throne for so many years, and everything has been listened to by civil servants. , almost everything is under the control of civil servants.

This is why he is confident that he can turn this matter into a minor one, because in their expectation, no matter who Emperor Hongzhi sent to investigate the case, it would be nothing in the end.

In addition, the grain merchants have taken the initiative to bleed blood, and the ministers of the DPRK and China have made admonitions. In the end, this big event will be calmly pressed down, and there will be no waves.

But no one could have imagined that Emperor Hongzhi would now let Xiao Jing investigate this case and use the power of the eunuch and factory guard.

Jinyiwei and Dongchang existed in the past. Although Emperor Hongzhi has been on the throne for many years, people seem to have gradually forgotten their existence, but people who have experienced the Chenghua Dynasty are still shocked when they hear about the factory guards. Pale.

The factory guard is the sharpest knife in the hands of the emperor. In the past, Emperor Hongzhi put it on the shelf, and everyone's life was easy. Now that it is brought out again, it will not be so easy to fool and fool Emperor Hongzhi in the future.

"Is the tail cleaned up?"

Thinking of the factory guard, Hu Wan'an couldn't sleep or eat. He kept walking up and down the room, thinking for a while and asking Hu Yining who was standing respectfully beside him.

"Don't worry, we've dealt with it long ago. No matter how powerful the Jinyiwei and Dongchang people are, they will never find us."

Hu Yining said confidently.

Dare to plan such a big event, they have already made complete preparations from the very beginning, carried out detailed planning, and they have already figured out how to retreat before the matter fails, and they have also thought about how to get out.

"You still can't be careless. If you think about it carefully, those tails have not been cleaned up. There will always be clues to reveal such a big action."

"The current situation in the court has changed drastically. Once our family is found out, the people in the court will definitely treat us as abandoned sons, and our Hu family will be finished by then."

Hu Wan'an didn't feel at ease because of Hu Yining's words, he thought carefully for a long time, and explained after thinking about it.

"Yes, I'll do it now, and I must clean up all the tails."

Hu Yining thought for a while, nodded solemnly, and was about to get up and go out.

"Bang~"

The door of this secret house was suddenly knocked open, and then a group of guards in brocade clothes wearing flying fish suits and embroidered spring knives on their waists filed in.

"Jinyiwei?"

"How could it be so fast."

As soon as they saw Jin Yiwei's people, Hu Wan'an and Hu Yining's expressions changed drastically, with expressions of disbelief on their faces. The morning court had just ended not long ago, so why did Jin Yiwei find out about themselves.

……

In the streets and alleys of the capital, the Jinyiwei and Dongchang fanzi who had disappeared for more than ten years began to move out in groups. At this moment, their faces were full of spirits and joy.

After eleven years of immersion, they are like swords hidden in the snow. They have been silently in the dark, enduring loneliness and all kinds of ridicule.

The emperor didn't need them anymore. For a whole eleven years, Jinyiwei and Dongchang didn't have any chance to perform.

But in the past eleven years, the life of Jin Yiwei and Dongchang has been too sad. They are the swords in the hands of the emperor after all. If the emperor wants them to be good, they can be good. up.

Since Emperor Hongzhi came to power, he trusted civil servants and no longer relied on the power of eunuchs and factory guards like Emperor Xianzong. Naturally, the source of Jinyiwei's funds has shrunk greatly, so Jinyiwei and Dongchang had to lay off large-scale personnel.

Of course, the servants of Jinyiwei don’t actually live on their salaries. Most of the time, the main source of income of Jinyiwei’s servants is to accept bribes. They often handle a case for the emperor, and the servants of Jinyiwei will suddenly become rich.

This is why the factory guards have always been criticized by people. Many times, in order to make a fortune, these factory guards will try their best to involve innocent people in order to achieve the purpose of extorting money.

In the eleven years since Emperor Hongzhi came to power, he had never used the power of the factory guards at all, leaving these Jinyiwei and Dongchang fans with nothing to do at all, and naturally no source of income. How could this life be happy.

But it was different now, the emperor thought of them again, and activated them again. These Jinyiwei and Dongchang fans seemed to have been injected with chicken blood, and they moved faster than rabbits.

The warehouses of the major grain merchants in the capital were seized immediately, and the real manipulators behind the grain merchants, such as Hu Wanan, Sun Wentang, He Jingnian, and Jiang Yunshan, were also seized by the factory guards almost immediately. catch.

At the same time, on the official road leading from the capital to the south of the Yangtze River, there are teams of factory guards who are divided into groups and rush towards the location of these people's families, preparing to seal up the families behind these people.

……

In the imperial palace of the capital, Xiao Jing listened carefully to the reports of his subordinates, showing a satisfied smile from time to time.

"Very good, everyone is doing things very neatly, and this time His Majesty must have some rewards."

"Our factory guards have never been reused. This time we have to do things beautifully to let His Majesty know that we are useful. We are no better than those civil servants, let alone those nobles, royal relatives and relatives. Our honor and disgrace It all depends on His Majesty."

"Your Majesty thinks we are useful, then we will live a good life. If His Majesty thinks we are useless, then we will definitely not have a good life. Now that we have the opportunity to do things for His Majesty, we must do it to His Majesty's satisfaction."

Xiao Jing looked at the Commander of Jinyiwei and the East Changchang who were beside him, he was very satisfied with their work efficiency, after more than ten years, the ability to eat has not fallen.

Ever since Emperor Hongzhi asked Xiao Jing to secretly investigate the theft of the official storehouse, Jin Yiwei and Dongchang have acted quickly, and have figured out the situation of Hu Wan'an and others early on, and even some ministers in the court behind them I have already figured it out, and the efficiency and speed of this work is also amazing.

Of course, this is also related to the fact that the case is too involved.

The Dezhou Warehouse and the Linqing Warehouse are two of the four major official warehouses of the Ming Dynasty. There is such a huge amount of grain stored in it that it is impossible to transfer it away quietly. As long as you have the heart to check, you can easily find it.

Even if they killed Liu Youliang, Zhao Yingyuan, Lu Yunliang and other superficial grain merchants, there are still many ways to find out.

The grain sources of the major grain merchants in the capital, where they store grain, what grain they sell, and then check the records of the capital's entry and exit, etc. If you want to check this matter, it is simply impossible for Jinyiwei and Dongchang It's not difficult.

The reason why Hu Wan'an and others made a mistake is because they did not expect that Emperor Hongzhi would ask the factory guards to investigate the case. If the case were to be investigated by officials from the court.

More than half of the officials in the Manchu Dynasty are from the Jiangnan area, and most of the remaining half are inextricably related to these people. Let them investigate, even if they investigate for a hundred years, they will never find anything. Come, naturally it will be nothing.

But for professionals, there is no difficulty in investigating a case, because there are too many things revealed.

The stolen grain in this official warehouse must be sold, and the grain merchants in the capital will naturally check it out; if someone in the court speaks for them, as long as they go to check, most likely they will not be able to escape.

Jin Yiwei and Dongchang have already been eyeing Hu Wanan and others, and as long as the emperor gives an order, they can catch all these people in the shortest time.

"Yes~"

When everyone heard Xiao Jing's words, they all nodded emotionally in agreement.

"Okay, let's go to work and pry their mouths open. I want to see who are those who want to target His Majesty and the Crown Prince, and want to limit the imperial power."

Xiao Jing nodded in satisfaction, after being a great eunuch for so many years, he finally has a majestic feeling.

Xiao Jing in the past was a good old man like Emperor Hongzhi, that was because Emperor Hongzhi needed him to do this, now Emperor Hongzhi needed him to become a sharp blade, Xiao Jing naturally became a sharp blade, thinking that he knew that his own Everything depends on the emperor, honor, disgrace, wealth and honor.

"Your Majesty always has the taste of a hero. In the past, he was too soft-tempered and was too kind to those people, so these people dared to be so presumptuous."

"Hmph, you actually want to limit the imperial power, even the crown prince is planning on it, and you're not afraid of exterminating the nine clans."

Seeing everyone leaving, Xiao Jing sighed while drinking tea while shaking his head slightly.

　The Jinyiwei in the Hongzhi Dynasty really had no sense of existence, and even the commander of the Jinyiwei couldn't find out~~
