A knife in love

Chapter 2862
The leader of the officers and soldiers did not dare to disobey the order of Jin Yiwei, so he led a team of officers and soldiers to escort Li Qiufeng and others to the east gate.From time to time on the way, a small group of officers and soldiers patrolling passed by, seeing that Li Qiufeng and others were escorted by officers and soldiers, naturally no one came to check, so everyone walked all the way to the east gate, and it was extremely smooth.After leaving the east gate, the leader of Jinyiwei ordered his three Jinyiwei and officers and soldiers to stay in the city, and he personally bid farewell to Li Qiufeng and Murong Danyan.Li Qiufeng thanked him repeatedly, and watched the leader of Jinyiwei return to the city. He didn't walk eastward hand in hand with Murong Danyan until the city gate was closed.

It was already the third watch at this time, and the surroundings were pitch black, with no human voice at all, only the hooves of three horses walking.Murong Danyan listened attentively, and after confirming that there was no one around, he said to Li Qiufeng: "Brother Li, just now you talked to Yang Zhenzhong in Wangjiazhuang, and said that a treasured knife was lost in the big stone cave. I feel very distressed? But You don't have to be sad, there are many treasured swords hidden in Murong Villa, after we return to Jiangnan from Fusang, I will take you to Murong Villa to meet Daddy, and pick out a treasured sword that you can use."

After hearing what Murong Danyan said, Li Qiufeng couldn't help laughing, and said: "I'm ashamed to say that the so-called treasured sword is just a lie that I lied to Yang Zhenzhong, and it can't be true."

Murong Danyan was taken aback when he heard Li Qiufeng's words, and said in his mouth, "Cheating the epicenter of Yang? This, what's going on here?"

Only then did Li Qiufeng explain the matter of putting Liu Feiyan's ashes on the ship, and finally he said to Murong Danyan: "Liu Shengyan is Liu Shengzongyan's only daughter, although she helped Liu Shengzongyan do many bad things, But she is not bad-hearted. She once rescued Senior Liu Zongyan, but did not tell Liu Sheng Zongyan where Senior Liu's bones were buried. Moreover, Liu Feiyan had a rough life, which is really regrettable. I promised to bring her ashes back to Fusang Country, but in the end It is a pity to lose her ashes."

Murong Danyan finally understood after listening to Li Qiufeng's words.She thought for a moment, and then said: "Although Liu Feiyan is from Fusang and was born in a fishing village in Hanshan, Fusang country, she fled to Liaodong with Liu Shengzongyan, and Dongliao County can be regarded as her hometown. Fusang people are treacherous and cunning. Even Liu Feiyan's biological father, Liu Sheng Zongyan, was using her. What is there to miss about the so-called Hanshan Fishing Village? It would be better to bury her bones in Dongliao County. What a pity, Liu Feiyan knows from the bottom of his heart, and he will definitely not feel resentment towards you."

Li Qiufeng nodded, and said in his mouth: "The girl is very right. In the past, Liu Shengzongyan led his clansmen to escape from the Hanshan fishing village in a hurry. I am afraid that the village has been razed to the ground, and Liu Feiyan was buried in Dongliao County. Not a bad thing."

The two talked and talked, and they had walked five or six miles before they knew it.Murong Danyan took out the Jinyiwei waist badge that Yang Zhenzhong gave her, and said with a smile: "Now that I have the Jinyiwei waist badge, I can be regarded as a member of the Jinyiwei. Showing off this waist card will definitely scare them away. But if my father finds out about this, he must scold me."

Li Qiufeng smiled slightly, and said in his mouth: "Yang Zhenzhong values ​​us very much, and the two waist cards given to us are made of ivory, which is quite remarkable."

Hearing Li Qiufeng's words, Murong Danyan was stunned, and said: "Ivory? Ah, no wonder I hold the waist card in my hand, and I feel it is quite gentle, but it is different from jade, it turns out that it is made of ivory. made."

While talking, Murong Danyan flipped the badge in his hand and played with it.Li Qiufeng said in a deep voice: "Jin Yiwei's badge is an identity badge, without this badge, nothing can be done."

Murong Danyan was stunned, and said: "I've heard people say that Jin Yiwei is wearing a flying fish suit with an embroidered spring knife hanging from his waist, so even if he doesn't wear a waist badge, no one would dare to stop him?"

Li Qiufeng shook his head, and said in his mouth: "These nonsense are all legends in the world, and they can't be taken as true at all. If Jin Yiwei didn't carry a waist card, even if he was wearing a flying fish suit with an embroidered spring knife hanging on his waist, if he wanted to arrest people, then Don't even think about it. It should be known that in the capital, Jinyiwei is not the only one who carries out arrests. The officials of the Shuntian Mansion, the Criminal Ministry and other yamen have the right to arrest and judge cases. Therefore, when Jinyiwei is on business, he must carry his waist badge. If If you don't show your badge, the yamen will never obey Jin Yiwei's orders."

When Li Qiufeng said this, he paused for a while, and then continued: "The badge of the Jinyiwei is much more important than the flying fish suit and the embroidery spring knife. Once it is lost or damaged, it will be severely punished. It’s not uncommon to be troublesome, and it’s not uncommon to cause death. According to the laws of the Ming Dynasty, Jin Yiwei sometimes does not need to wear official uniforms and embroidered spring knives when handling cases, but the waist badge must never be separated from him. When I was on duty in the imperial city , if I don’t have a waist card, not only will I not be able to enter the palace city, but the guards guarding the palace gate will immediately take me down.”

Hearing what Li Qiufeng said, Murong Danyan stuck out his tongue and said with a smile: "So this sign is so great. Then I will put it away, so as not to lose it accidentally. I asked for the waist card, but I couldn't get it out, so he had to kill me."

Li Qiufeng shook his head and said: "That's not necessarily the case. Yang Zhenzhong asked us this time, so he gave two Jinyiwei waist cards. It's just that although we got the waist cards, we are not under the jurisdiction of Jinyiwei Nanbei Town Fusi. Although the power is great, it can't control us. At worst, when we return to the Central Plains, we can return the two waist badges to him. Jin Yiwei's waist badges are different according to their grades. Ordinary Jin Yiwei captains can only wear copper ones. Waist badges. Any waist badges made of ivory can only be carried by senior officials of Jinyiwei with more than a thousand households. Yang Zhenzhong gave us two waist badges made of ivory, and we value them very much."

Murong Danyan put the waist badge back into his bosom, and said in his mouth: "No wonder when Yang Zhenzhong handed the ivory waist badge to Brother Li just now, you have to return the original badge to him. Presumably you have the ivory waist badge, the original one The brand is of course useless. Although ivory is not as valuable as jade, it is quite warm and cool in the hand, but it is much more comfortable than jade."

Li Qiufeng said with a smile: "The waist badge made of ivory is not because the ivory badge is more comfortable to hold than jade, but because Jin Yiwei can get a lot of high-quality ivory. It should be noted that Jin Yiwei not only travels with the emperor as a ceremonial staff , guarding the gates of various palaces in the imperial city, apprehending important criminals, and adjudicating cases, there is also an elephant training station to maintain elephants for the imperial court. When the imperial court holds sacrifices and ceremonies, elephants must be used to "spectacularly" ', otherwise it would be a breach of etiquette, and the head of the relevant officials would not be safe. Some elephants died of old age or disease, and the elephant training center took off the ivory and used it to make ornaments and waist tags, and presented it to the commander of Jinyiwei Envoys and other high-ranking officials. These high-ranking officials will then give the ivory belt badges to their cronies to carry with them. Therefore, when officials of all sizes see the Jinyiwei wearing the ivory belt badges, they are all respectful and respectful, and dare not violate them."
