Jinyi Town Mountains and Rivers

Chapter 172 Brocade Order and Shadow Commander

Lu Bing glared at Liu Da.He has long been dissatisfied with the unclear relationship between Liu Da and Yan Song's father and son.

Lu Bing said coldly to Liu Da: "Remember, you are a member of Jinyiwei, the emperor. You are not a servant of Mr. Yan Ge or Mr. Xiao Ge! I advise you, don't look at the height of one mountain! You There is only one root, and this root is in Jinyiwei Yamen, in Yongshou Palace!"

Liu Da cupped his hands: "This subordinate knows his mistake."

Lu Bing waved his hand impatiently: "Go back to Beizhen Fusi!"

Liu Da turned around and left.

Lu Bing said to He Liu and Lao Hu again: "You two, went to investigate Yan Shifan without the approval of my commander?! In this world, some Jinyiwei can investigate if they want to. Some people, Jinyiwei needs the emperor to come and go. Only by order can we investigate, understand?"

He Liu cupped his hands: "This subordinate understands."

Lu Bing glanced at Xue Yang, who was kneeling on the ground shaking like a sieve, and stretched out his hand towards He Liu: "Where's his confession?"

He Liu took out his confession and was about to hand it to Lu Bing.

Lao Hu stretched out his hand and stopped He Liu.

Old Hu asked Lu Bing: "May I ask Commander Lu, how do you plan to deal with Xue Yang's confession?"

Lu Bing frowned.The majestic commander of Jinyiwei, how to deal with the criminal's confession is not up to a thousand households who are in charge of the prison to intervene.

Lu Bing scratched his nose: "Old Hu, what do you mean?"

Old Hu actually changed his previous submissive attitude, straightened his waist and asked: "It's not interesting, just asking!"

Lu Bing said angrily: "Don't think that the emperor named you the third son of the Thirteen Taibao, and you will be defiant. Don't forget, I am the commander of the Thirteen Taibao's immediate boss!"

Old Hu said neither humble nor overbearing: "Commander Lu, I only have one boss in my eyes, and that is the emperor. Before I hand over this confession to you, I want to make sure that you will not collude with Mr. Yan Ge and Mr. Xiao Ge!"

Lu Bing laughed loudly: "Me? Lu Bing? The dignified commander of Jinyiwei? Do you need to condescend to condescend to collude with Yan Song and Yan Shifan?!"

Old Hu said: "Commander, you didn't answer my question."

Lu Bing sighed: "Old Hu, I respect you. You have served Jinyiwei for 40 years, and you are a senior in Jinyiwei. I can only tell you that some people will kill themselves if they do unrighteous deeds. However, it is not yet time to settle with those people. At the time of the general ledger. I will put this confession in the stall of Tianzihao. I will bring it out at an appropriate time."

When Lu Bing mentioned the Tianzihao stalls, He Liu's heart skipped a beat.The cause of death of his father and his wife, and the truth about the ghost house yin soldier case 20 years ago, may also be in the archives of the Tianzi!
Old Hu said: "So, the commander doesn't plan to let the emperor see this confession now? I'm sorry, if this is the case, Lao Liu and I can't give you this confession!"

In a rage, Lu Bing grabbed Lao Hu's collar: "Hu Ping! Are you going to violate the superior? Jin Yiwei's family rules, whoever violates the superior, will lose his post and be sent to the court for three thousand miles!"

Old Hu smiled: "Commander, don't get angry, just take a look at what this is."

Lao Hu took out a "token" the size of a fingernail from his waist, and on the token were engraved with three big characters "Jinyi Ling" in small script!
Lu Bing and He Liu were horrified after seeing it!Brocade order?Are the rumors of "Shadow Commander" true?
Jinyiwei has existed for nearly 200 years.A rumor has also been circulated in Jinyiwei for 200 years.

It is said that after Lord Hongwu established the Jinyiwei, he found that the Jinyiwei was too powerful, and he was afraid that it would be too big in the future.Ever since, he dispatched more than a dozen confidantes to enter Jinyiwei as internal response.Monitor every move of Mao Xiang, the commander at the time.

After Hongwu Lord, before the emperors of the Ming Dynasty died, they would tell their successors that there must be a limit to their trust in Jin Yiwei.We must send some reliable people to enter Jinyiwei to be the emperor's internal support.

The head of the internal response, known as the "Shadow Commander".The emperor will give him a fingernail-sized jade "Jinyi Order". When the Jinyi Order comes out, the commanders of the Jinyi Guards, the Nanbei Zhenfu envoys, the school lieutenants, and the warriors all obey orders.

However, each generation of "Shadow Commander" can only be used once.After using it, it is necessary to pay the order to the emperor.

He Liu had known for a long time that Lao Hu was the internal agent sent by the emperor to Jinyiwei.But he didn't expect that Lao Hu's status was so high that he turned out to be the legendary "Shadow Commander"!
When Lu Bing saw the Jinyi Ling, the size of a fingernail, he was silent for a while, and then he knelt down on the ground and kowtowed to the Jinyi Ling held between Lao Hu's two fingers: "No. Brocade order!"

Old Hu said: "Free of courtesy, flat body!"

After finishing speaking, Lao Hu put away the brocade order.

Lu Bing asked: "Old Hu, since you have shown the Jinyi order, if you want to hand over Xue Yang's confession to the emperor, I will not and have no right to stop it. But I want to advise you, the emperor is the most wise monarch in all ages. The old man knows who is loyal and who is traitor in the court. The reason why the emperor has not touched Yan Song and his son is because of his own considerations. Don't let this confession disturb the overall situation of the court!"

Old Hu smiled and said: "Commander Lu, I have heard too many people say the words "the overall situation of the imperial court" too many times. I have listened to it for 40 years! Now, I want to understand: the overall situation of the imperial court should not be a reason to shelter traitors What is the overall situation of the court? Isn’t it because the treacherous officials of the strict party are greedy for ink? They are like a group of moths, parasitic on the skinny court!”

Lao Hu turned his head and said to He Liu again: "Lao Liu, now you can enter the palace with me and meet the emperor. Alas, I have been thinking these days, I, the shadow commander of Jinyiwei, even that little Yang Lian Even the seventh-rank officials can’t keep up! Yang Lian, a Zhima official, knows how humble he is and dare not forget to worry about the country! All these years, I have been able to hide when I can, and escape when I can. Thinking about it, I am ashamed of myself.”

The prison department of the Ministry of punishment.

The spies of "Xiaodong Factory" were quick to do things, they had already arrested Yang Lian from the congee market and locked him in the prison department.

Yang Lian was bound tightly to a chair.

Yan Shifan said with a sly smile: "Yang Lian, you opened an official position privately and filled your own pockets. Did you receive orders from He Liu and Hu San? I advise you to confess quickly, so as not to suffer."

Yang Lian spat "ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! Slandering good people and fulfilling the wishes of traitors? Come on, let’s go to punishment! I’m going to show you today how tough I am, a powerless scholar!”

The secretary of the prison suddenly clung to Yan Shifan's ear, and reminded him in a low voice: "Mr. Xiaoge, today is the 83rd birthday of the first assistant. The first assistant believes in the theory of yin and yang and geomantic omen, and has repeatedly told the people below us that on the birthday , we are not allowed to impose severe punishment on anyone."

Yan Shifan heard the words and said: "Okay! Yang Lian, I will not give you a severe punishment today. I will give you a day to think about it. Tomorrow, if you continue to talk nonsense like this, ah, I will definitely put you in your body. If you think it is a hard bone, take it off and feed it to the dog!"
