Jinyi Town Mountains and Rivers

Chapter 45 Big Wooden Box?
There is a huge mansion in the west of the Acropolis of Tianjin. There is a plaque on the mansion with the words "Commander Qian Shifu" written in a big book.

This is the house of Sun Chunbin, Zhao Youtian's patriarch.

In the military system of the Ming Dynasty, the highest officer of the guards was the Commander of the Guards. Under the Commander was the Commander Zuo Tongzhi, the Commander You Tongzhi, and the next level was the commander.

In front of the Commander's Mansion stood eight gatekeepers.

Zhao Youtian led He Liu and Lao Ma to the door.

The leading soldier said: "Zhao Zongqi, have you finished your errands so quickly and come back?"

Zhao Youtian cried and said: "What is the errand for you! Hurry up and report to our lord, Jin Yiwei wants to see him."

But He Liu scolded Zhao Youtian: "Fart. If Jin Yiwei wants to see someone, do he have to wait for the summoning after being reported?"

He Liu and Lao Hu went straight into Sun's residence.

Sun Chunbin was sipping a cup of tea in the hall.But Zhao Youtian led two strangers into the hall.

Sun Chunbin asked, "Who are you?"

He Liu took out Jinyiwei's badge: "Jinyiwei inspects hundreds of households——He Liu!"

Sun Chunbin is also a person who has been in the officialdom for more than ten years. How could he not have heard that there is a sixth master in the [-]th Taibao of Jinyiwei?
Sun Chunbin is a military officer of the fourth rank, but when he saw He Liu, a hundred households of the sixth rank, he turned his head and bowed: "The last general has met the sixth master!"

He Liu sat down at the head of the hall unceremoniously: "Excuse me."

Sun Chunbin got up: "The sixth master came to the humble house from the capital, do you have any orders?"

He Liu said to Zhao Youtian, "Put that Lao Shizi on the table."

Zhao Youtian looked at Sun Chunbin in embarrassment.Sun Chunbin said anxiously: "You do what Liu Ye tells you to do! See what I'm doing?"

Zhao Youtian put the jade ox on the table.

He Liu said to Sun Chunbin: "Master Sun, what is the crime of keeping things in the palace privately?"

Sun Chunbin looked terrified: "Reporting to the sixth master seems to be a capital offense."

He Liuyi patted the table: "You still know it's a capital offense! Heh, I know, the current officials like to play with antique jades for nothing. It's not uncommon to get one or two things from the palace occasionally. I think it's been more than 100 years since the founding of the Ming Dynasty. , no one cares about the rules laid down by Master Hong Wu. Let me tell you, you were unlucky and fell into the hands of our Jinyiwei. You should know that what our Jinyiwei loves to do is to be truthful!"

Sun Chunbin fell to his knees with a plop.Jin Yiwei's notoriety was unrivaled all over the world, and he knew that the sixth master in front of him was definitely not just talking casually.There is ironclad evidence of the possessions in the palace—the Jade Bull is on the table.Jin Yiwei really wanted to kill him, it was as easy as trampling an ant to death.

However, Sun Chunbin was puzzled: there are so many people hiding jade and antiques in the palace at home, why does this sixth master just have trouble with me?

He Liu asked Lao Hu: "How should this case be handled according to the rules?"

Old Hu said: "Master Sun is the commander of the fourth rank. He should be detained by our Jinyiwei first. Then the Jinyiwei will issue a document to the former military governor's mansion to let the former military governor's mansion remove his military status. Then our Jinyiwei will execute the sentence and behead him. killed him."

Lao Hu and He Liuyi sang together, scaring Sun Chunbin like a sieve.

"Forgive me, you two superiors. The general was confused for a while, I really don't know that this is a thing in the palace!"

Seeing that the heat was almost ready, He Liu said to Zhao Youtian, "Zhao Youtian, you go out first."

Zhao Youtian walked out of the hall.

He Liu got up and walked in front of Sun Chunbin: "Old Hu, you are Jin Yiwei's living file. Mr. Sun is the commander of Zhengsipin. He must have a background in our North Town Fusi, right?"

Old Hu thought for a moment: "Yes, if I'm not wrong, Mr. Sun relied on the support of Mr. Wu, the left servant of the Ministry of War, to sit in command."

He Liu smiled and said: "Ah, Wu Shilang from the Ministry of War. His little girl is over a hundred years old, and I even went to drink! So it's my own."

When Sun Chunbin heard this, he seemed to be grasping at straws: "Your Excellency is right! Wu Shilang is my godfather! We are all on our own!"

He Liudao: "Since you are one of our own, as long as you confess and understand the origin of this jade ox, we will let you go."

Sun Chunbin's eyes were erratic, and it took him a long time to say: "This is the last general who ruled a thousand households to honor me."

He Liu suppressed his smile and sat down on the chair: "Master Sun, if you make up nonsense, I can only do business!"

Sun Chunbin said: "The last general dares to lie to Master Liu!"

He Liuyi slapped the table, knocked a teacup on the table to the ground, and smashed it to pieces: "Fart! Do you think I don't know that Ding Wang gave you this thing?"

Sun Chunbin's face turned pale when he heard the word "Ding Wang".

"The sixth master also knows... Ding Wang?" It took a long time for Sun Chunbin to say this.

He Liu threatened Sun Chunbin: "Jin Yiwei knows half of the things in the sky, but Jin Yiwei knows everything about the earth! Is there anything that can be hidden from our Jin Yiwei's eyes? I know exactly what you and Ding Wang are doing! Do you think Jinyiwei is the little commander of the Wucheng soldiers and horses in charge of the bandits? I am a Jinyiwei and the Sixth Taibao, because of a jade cow in the palace, I will rush from the capital to Tianjin Acropolis, which is not enough for you? Tell me! , What did you let Ding Wang hold? What did Ding Wang force you to do all these years?"

Seeing that he had missed the point, Sun Chunbin had no choice but to confess.

It is an open secret that the generals of the Guards Army eat empty quotas, drink soldiers' blood, and do business in private.For example, in Tianjin Wei, the commander opened a casino, and the commander Tongzhi opened a pawn shop next to the casino.Sun Chunbin, the commander, runs two brothels in the Acropolis.

One day a year ago, Ding Wang approached Sun Chunbin.

Ding Wang took out a few pieces of paper, which recorded the amount of credits Sun Chunbin ate, and the fact that he used the money from the slack to buy girls and open brothels—all in detail.

Sun Chunbin was caught by Ding Wang, so he had to obey him obediently.

Daming banned it.All goods shipped from Nanyang are not allowed to enter the border of Ming Dynasty.

Sun Chunbin is the commander of Tianjin Wei, in charge of a thousand sailors, and is responsible for patrolling the sea.

Ding Wang asked Sun Chunbin to open the door for Nanyang's smuggled goods.

Of course, Ding Wang did not treat Sun Chunbin badly, and gave him 5000 taels of silver every month.

After Sun Chunbin said all this, he burst into tears: "Sixth Master! It's because of the fat and fat in the end that he helped Na Ding Wang to do this demented thing."

He Liu smiled: "The generals of the Guards Army participated in the smuggling. Add to this the matter of hiding things from the palace, Mr. Sun, even if you have nine heads, it's not enough for our Jin Yiwei to chop off!"

Sun Chunbin said: "Please Liu Ye hold your hand high! The final general will definitely repay you well!"

He Liudao: "You haven't told me yet, what is Ding Wang asking you to do when he sent you the Jade Bull?"

Sun Chunbin confessed: "He asked me to help him a while ago—hidden a big wooden box."

He Liu's eyes lit up: "Big wooden box?"
