This Jinyiwei is obviously super strong but draws too much

From the beginning of the five elements, the north belongs to water, and black is the positive color of water, water belongs to yin, and yin rules punishment and killing. Therefore, Jinyiwei Yamen is located in the north of the capital, and the gatehouse buildings are mainly black.

In winter, the capital is cold and windy, but when it comes to Jinyiwei's prison, it is actually three points colder than outside.

After the court, Lu Hanjiang came to Jinyiwei Imperial Prison. Today, something like this happened, Wu Qiming had to come to the Imperial Prison in person to interrogate the mad student who shouted in the street.

When Lu Hanjiang arrived, the people in the cell were bloodstained and dying.

"I've met you, my lord." Wu Qiming came forward to greet him.

Lu Hanjiang waved his hand, retracted his gaze towards the cell, and asked, "How's the interrogation going?"

Wu Qiming looked gloomy, and he said: "This thief is probably determined to die. Brothers are tortured and served, but he still doesn't say a word. Please wait for a while, my lord, so that brothers can try another method. "

Lu Hanjiang nodded, and asked again: "Has his background been found out?"

A gloomy look flashed across Wu Qiming's eyes, and he replied: "My lord, I have already found out. This person's name is Han Cheng. He is from the south of the Yangtze River. He once studied at Meihua Academy. But there is a master-student relationship, and this visit to Beijing was also invited by his letter."

"It's also an academy," Lu Hanjiang narrowed his eyes, and said to himself: "So, Jin Yiwei can only touch this level of relationship at the end of the investigation, right?"

"Also?" Wu Qiming was taken aback for a moment, then his eyes lit up, and he hurriedly said, "Could it be possible that your lord has already guessed who is behind this scene?"

Lu Hanjiang patted Wu Qiming on the shoulder, and the two left the cell and walked to an open space. He said, "Although there is no evidence for this matter, it is not difficult to guess based on the results. Anyway, we can rule out the academy and Luo old master."

Wu Qiming frowned and said, "Are you being too arbitrary, my lord? This person has a close relationship with the Academy. How can it be said that he has nothing to do with those people?"

Lu Hanjiang said with a smile: "The vice president, Qi Yunzhou, is an interesting person, he would not do such a stupid thing, and Mr. Luo, if he wants to scold someone, with his temperament, he will come to the door in person and push out a dead man to be the pioneer Wouldn't it be embarrassing for the four-character plaque in front of his teacher's gate to be sent to his death?"

Wu Qiming still hesitated: "That said."

Lu Hanjiang added: "One more thing, the academy is basically located in the south of the Yangtze River, and it was moved to the capital because of the chaos caused by the beggar gang. Do you think that in just one year, how big a net can they lay down? Not to mention, this matter alone can Do you think they can do it without Jin Yiwei's sight?"

This is not Lu Hanjiang's blind self-confidence. Jinyiwei's old nest is in the capital, and it is their job to supervise the officials. It can be said that any disturbance in the capital cannot escape their eyes.

To put it bluntly, the layout of these big and powerful families in the capital is basically one-way transparent to Jinyiwei, how can a mere academy be an exception.

Wu Qiming also came to his senses at this moment. The biggest doubt about this matter is how the crazy student blinded Jin Yiwei's eyes. His identity is complicated, and it is hard to believe that he did it on a whim.

At this time, Lu Hanjiang pointed out a clear path for Wu Qiming: "Master Wu, although Jin Yiwei has all over the capital and can monitor hundreds of officials and officials, but if you think about it carefully, there is one place that we can't get in no matter what. of."

Wu Qiming frowned and thought hard, suddenly a flash of inspiration flashed in his heart, and he said in shock: "Your Excellency said, Da Nei?!"

Jin Yiwei can control the movement of the entire capital, but there is one place where his eyes are smeared, and that is within the imperial city, which is the only blind spot that Jin Yiwei cannot touch.

Lu Hanjiang nodded slightly, and Wu Qiming immediately thought of the key point: "My lord's words are like a drink to a lowly official. If this matter is led by Cao Yuan, then it is indeed difficult for us to detect it."

Both the East Factory and the West Factory are under the control of the Twelve Supervisors. Although the West Factory was killed by the Jinyiwei to scare the monkeys, the East Factory is still there. As an existence hidden under the deep water of the capital, their arrangement will naturally not be noticed by the Jinyiwei.

But Lu Hanjiang still shook his head: "Master Wu is still wrong. Although Eunuch Cao is capable, he is not very courageous. To put it disrespectfully, compared to our Lord Meng, this chief eunuch who is in charge of ceremonies is honest. too much."

Cao Yuan was the eunuch who served the old emperor, and he understood the old emperor's thoughts best. At the beginning when Lu Hanjiang killed Zou Jiliwei to test him, the old emperor showed his attitude. Since then, the third factory of the inner palace has never had any conflicts with Jinyiwei. .

Whether it was overtly or secretly, Cao Yuan firmly held down his godsons, and no one dared to continue to tease Jinyiwei's beard, even if Lu Hanjiang did everything he could, killing Xichang blood into rivers, or even Completely overhead, they remained silent.

Cao Yuan understands the emperor's mind, he is obsessed with longevity now, he can ignore the state affairs, but there is one thing that must be guaranteed, that is, he has the power in his hands.

Jinyiwei and the Third Inner Palace Factory are the necessary conditions to meet this demand, and they are also the largest capital in the hands of the old emperor.

Therefore, he can allow eunuchs to become bigger, and he can also allow Jinyiwei to lose power, but he will never allow the two to conflict and cause unnecessary internal friction, because the final result will threaten his imperial power.

Cao Yuan is a smart man. After trying to find out the old emperor's attitude in Naxichang to no avail, he immediately chose to reconcile with Lu Hanjiang, and even retreated a few steps, completely lowering his stance.

Lu Hanjiang believed that Cao Yuan would not do such a thing that would do more harm than good, so he was not the mastermind behind the cursing this time.

Wu Qiming frowned again: "If it wasn't Cao Yuan, who else would it be?"

Lu Hanjiang narrowed his eyes and didn't speak. It took Wu Qiming a while to come back to his senses. He said solemnly, "Your Excellency, you think that this matter was done by His Royal Highness the Crown Princess?"

The Imperial City of the Inner Palace is a sphere of influence that Jin Yiwei cannot touch, but the three factories that have energy in the Inner Palace are not the only ones, there is also a force in it, and that is the East Palace where the Crown Princess lives.

Lu Hanjiang nodded slightly, and then said with some doubts: "Although I can basically confirm that His Highness did this, I still can't figure out what she is planning."

Lu Hanjiang knew the Crown Princess very well, and they were at odds with each other for a long time. It is not surprising that the Crown Princess would make a killing move, but this time the madness of cursing is more like a temptation, or a mockery, or some kind of disaster The prelude to Dongyin.

In general, it may make Jin Yiwei look bad, but it is absolutely impossible to hurt his muscles and bones. Even judging from Jin Yiwei's current power, the biggest effect is probably disgusting.

That's why Lu Hanjiang was very puzzled. He knew that the Crown Princess was a smart person. In such a life-and-death situation, it was the right way to take advantage of the opportunity and stab the knife with all his strength. significance.

"My lord, how should we respond?" Wu Qiming asked in a low voice. Since the East Palace and the Crown Princess were involved, it would be useless for them to continue interrogating.

"Let me think about it," Lu Hanjiang pondered for a moment, and then asked, "By the way, has the county magistrate Fang been escorted back to Beijing?"
