The days when I ransacked the house in Jinyiwei

Chapter 239: Mrs. Chang shot and killed a court official in the street? !
The civil service group has been developing its own secret power over the years to fight against factory guards.

This force is the Supervisory Department of the Ministry of Punishment, now known as the "Little Jin Yiwei".

Min Gui, the Secretary of the Ministry of Punishment, had already ordered the Supervisor to investigate secretly all the secrets about Chang Feng and his family.

Mrs. Ninth was originally the most famous broker in selling stolen goods in the capital.It is not difficult to find evidence and witness statements of her crime.

The lobby of the Ministry of Justice.

The sharpest dagger in the sleeves of the civil service group - Inspector Xia Cong and Min Gui sat across from each other.

Xia Cong was 28 years old at the time and had a deep hatred for Chang Feng.

Xia Cong is from Wanping County, a suburb of Beijing.Both parents died since childhood.Growing up on hundreds of meals, it was normal to go hungry nine times in three days.

If nothing else happens, like most poor people, he will work as a tenant farmer for a wealthy family until he is ten years old, and will be a mule and horse kneeler for the rest of his life.

Nothing is written without coincidence, and it is impossible without accidents.

When Xia Cong was eight years old, Shang Ming, a "good man" who robbed the rich and helped the poor, used kidnapping to extort money from wealthy households and built a charity school in Da.

Volunteer education not only teaches poor children to read and understand for free.For a child like Xia Cong, whose parents have died, the free school still provides food and shelter.Every once in a while, a new set of clothes will be given out.

Xia Cong has heard many heroic stories since he was a child, such as the loyal Yue Fei and the loyal Guan Erye.

However, when he was in need of food and clothing, he did not see Yue Fei or Guan Erye appear to help him.Duke Shang En gave him food, clothing, and books to read.In his eyes, Shang Ming is the great hero of the world.

When he was ten years old, a Qianhu, a guard named Chang Feng, escorted Shang Ming to the free school for the last time.

Then Chang Qianhu escorted Shang Ming away.Since then, Xia Cong has never seen his great hero Shang Ming again.

A seed of hatred was planted in Xia Cong's young heart: My benefactor was framed by a man named Chang Feng, who was dressed in thousands of households.

No matter how others belittle Shang Ming.Xia Cong has always regarded him as a benefactor.

Xia Cong made up his mind to study hard, gain fame, and hold power.When he is able, he will rehabilitate his benefactor Shang Ming and take him back to Beijing from Xiaoling.

In the 12th year of Hongzhi's reign, the examination fraud case was closed and the palace examination was held as usual.

On the gold list of that subject, in addition to Lun Wenxu, the only Cantonese scholar since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, and Wang Shouren, who ranked sixth in the second class, there was also an inconspicuous name at the bottom of the second class list: Xia Cong.

Xia Cong wrote a letter and planned to tell Shang Ming in Nanjing.The poor boy who received your favor back then has now been awarded a gold medal, became a Jinshi, and entered an official career.

However, the messenger returned to Beijing and informed Xia Cong that Eunuch Shang was depressed and ill.Before receiving the letter, he set out on a journey to the west.

Xia Cong was very sad.After sadness comes resentment.He paranoidly believed that Chang Feng harmed Shang Ming.

Xia Cong looks very much like Chang Feng in his youth.Ambitious, skillful, and shrewd.

In six years, he climbed from a sixth-grade chief of the Criminal Department to the position of a doctor in the Capital Police Department.It has become a sharp dagger in the hands of the civil servant group specializing in secret errands.

Min Gui said: "It's time to take action. That Ninth Lady's death has come."

Xia Cong played with the tea cup in his hand: "Don't worry, Min Butang. The official has collected more than 90 testimonies and locked up more than 40 thieves in the Prison Department Prison."

"These testimonies and the thieves can all prove the identity of Madam Ninth as the broker who sold the stolen goods. The evidence is conclusive!"

"According to the laws of the Ming Dynasty, the number of cases involving Mrs. Ninth is enough to sentence her to three rounds of autumn judgment."

Min Gui looked at his most useful subordinate with satisfaction: "I always feel at ease when you do things."

Xia Cong smiled slightly: "In addition to convicting Madam Ninth, there is another thing that can make Chang Feng lose face in the capital."

Min Gui asked: "Oh? What's the matter?"

Xia Cong smiled and said: "An old detective from the Supervisory Department slept with Madam Ninth 20 years ago and even fell in love with her."

"When you hit someone, you need to slap someone in the face, and when you expose someone, you need to expose their shortcomings. Add one more line to Madam Ninth's crime, luring an official from the Criminal Department into committing crimes."

Min Gui smiled and said: "It's wonderful. The woman who is the commander of the dignified Jin Yiwei is actually a slut who can't do anything. If this matter gets out, will Chang Feng still have the dignity to stand in the court?"

Xia Cong continued: "With the arrest of Madam Ninth, those Tujia people in Xiangxi Lane will not be able to escape their involvement. They will become alien gangsters."

"Chang Feng gathered foreign gangsters, inserted himself into the emperor's personal army, and plotted evil, and the charge of treason was confirmed."

Min Gui said: "I will personally handle the matter of arresting Mrs. Ninth! But we can't arrest people in the Chang Mansion. We have to save some face for Butcher Chang."

"Send someone to keep an eye on Chang Mansion. When Mrs. Ninth comes out of the house, let's arrest her on the street."

Xia Cong cupped his hands and said, "Good advice from the Ministry."

Min Gui changed the topic: "If Chang Feng can really be defeated this time, someone from above will guarantee that you will become the minister of the Ministry of Punishment and rank among the ministers within ten years."

"Your future is limitless!"

Moreover, Chang Feng did not realize at all that a web of conspiracy spun by the civil service group was quietly falling on him.

Liu Jin realized that he had an inside job in the Superintendent's Department.

Huanyi Bureau, in the secret room of the Eight Tigers secret meeting.

Liu Jin said: "The Ministry of Punishment wants to punish the ninth lady of Mr. Chang's family. Mr. Chang doesn't know about this yet. What do you think?"

Zhang Yongdao: "I have always regarded Mr. Chang as one of my own family members. Naturally, I should remind Mr. Chang in time for this kind of thing so that he can take precautions in advance."

Gu Dayong put forward a different opinion: "Master Chang has always been at a distance from the eight of us these years."

"If he was on the same boat as the eight of us, why would the civil servants be so arrogant?"

"If Mrs. Ninth is killed by civil servants, will Mr. Chang still stand between civil servants and internal officials in the future, indecisive?"

"The hatred of killing my concubine will make him share our hatred without hesitation!"

"So, the Ministry of Punishment wants to punish Madam Ninth. I don't think it's a bad thing, but a good thing."

Liu Jin hesitated: "But Mrs. Ninth is Master Chang's woman after all. I can't bear to sit back and watch her being killed by a civil servant."

Gu Dayong encouraged him: "It's just a concubine. She's not Master Chang's wife."

"If the Ministry of Punishment wants to harm Mrs. Chang, Princess Wanping, and Master Chang, then we have not said anything and will designate to help Master Chang protect them."

"Mrs. Ninth is different. She is just a concubine. Her death is a good thing for the Chang family."

Liu Jin asked: "How?"

Gu Dayong said: "If she dies, Master Chang will become one of us. If we become one with him, the civil servants will definitely lose."

"At that time, Mr. Chang will be able to share power with us and enjoy glory forever."

Since ancient times, Liu Jin was neither vicious nor a husband. If Liu Jin could become the "Emperor" of the Ming Dynasty in the future, he would naturally have a ruthless and vicious side.

Liu Jin made up his mind: I'm sorry to Mr. Chang.For the future of the Chang family and me.This time I could only sit back and watch.

Thinking of this, Liu Jin said: "Okay. This time we will wait and see what happens."

Let's talk about this day, Liu Xiaoyan and Madam Ninth left the house and wandered on the street.

When a noble lady goes out on the street, she is naturally followed by several servants.

Many swingers on the street couldn't help but look at these two gentle and beautiful women.The servants scolded me from time to time: "What are you looking at? If you look at it again, your eyeballs will go out."

The two entered an antique shop.

Liu Xiaoyan asked the shopkeeper: "I told you last time that I would like to buy a string of high-quality Buddhist beads. How is it going?"

The shopkeeper said: "I've been keeping an eye on Mrs. Chang! You'll be waiting later."

The shopkeeper entered the cabinet and after a moment took out a string of Buddhist beads: "Mrs. Chang, take a look. These are the finest sandalwood Buddhist beads, which are extremely valuable." "What's even more rare is that this string of Buddhist beads has also been passed through Hangzhou Ling. Master Miaofeng from the Yin Temple consecrated it."

"Master Miaofeng lived to be 99 years old and passed away. After his death, he sat in a vat and became a Buddha in the flesh. He was the most eminent monk in the Ming Dynasty who achieved enlightenment!"

Liu Xiaoyan quickly bowed to the Buddha: "Amitabha."Then he took the string of beads with respectful hands.

The shopkeeper smiled and said: "You are a regular customer of our store. We are not making any money this time, we just want to fulfill your Buddhist destiny. You can reward the store with 800 taels of silver."

Liu Xiaoyan is the eldest daughter of a high-ranking official family.I don’t like to bargain much when buying things.

The Ninth Madam is different.She was born in the market and worked as a "businessman" for ten years.

The ninth lady said: "800 taels? Shopkeeper, are you kidding me? I know the origin of this string of beads. The most you can spend is 200 taels."

"The most I can give you is 100 taels of profit, 300 taels! If you don't sell it, we'll leave immediately!"

In fact, how does Madam Ninth know the origin of the Buddhist beads?It's just to fool the shopkeeper.

Madam Ninth took off the beads from Liu Xiaoyan's hand and placed them on the table: "Sister, let's go."

The shopkeeper quickly stopped him: "Don't ask me. The price is negotiable. I said, I don't want to make money in this business. I just want to fulfill this Buddhist relationship."

"Buy it now, 400 taels."

Mrs. Jiu said: "Come on. Sister, let's go."

The shopkeeper was helpless: "Okay, 300 taels is 300 taels. Mrs. Chang, do you need me to find a good brocade box and put it in it for you?"

Liu Xiaoyan said: "No need. I'll just take it with me."

After the two bought the Buddhist beads, they went to visit the bow and arrow shop.

Liu Xiaoyan couldn't let go of an old yellow bow.

At this moment, a large number of officers from the Ministry of Justice suddenly rushed into the bow and arrow shop.

Min Gui led Xia Cong, several doctors and principals from the Criminal Department in.

Min Gui walked directly to Madam Ninth and asked, "Is your name Motieba Gani Zhaozhao?"

Madam Ninth replied: "Yes."

Motieba Gani Zhaozhao is the name of the ninth lady.Madam Ninth has not heard anyone call her name for many years.

For a moment, she actually felt somewhat cordial.

Min Gui said with an upright face: "I am Min Gui, the official of the Ministry of Punishment. Gani Zhaozhao, you are suspected of selling stolen goods, the amount is up to 10 taels."

"Here are the papers for your arrest. Come with us."

Liu Xiaoyan dodged and protected in front of Madam Ninth: "Who do I think it is? It turns out to be Min Butang from the Criminal Department."

"Is my ninth sister the one your Criminal Department can arrest whenever you want?"

Xia Cong held his hands aside and said in a neither humble nor overbearing tone: "Mrs. Chang, you are polite. In the capital, any criminal who violates the laws of the Ming Dynasty will be arrested by the Criminal Department."

Liu Xiaoyan said angrily: "Which onion and which garlic are you? Why don't you pick eggplants without looking at them?"

"As long as I'm here, let's see who dares to take away my ninth sister today!"

After speaking, Liu Xiaoyan shouted to the accompanying servants: "Go to the Jinyi Guards quickly and inform the master!"

The officer from the Ministry of Punishment took out his sword and pointed it at the servants.The servants did not dare to act rashly.

Min Gui said angrily: "The Minister of Punishment personally arrested the criminal. How dare the criminal resist arrest?!"

Liu Xiaoyan saw that Min Gui was not a good person.She softened her tone and said, "Min Butang, you don't know who I am, do you?"

Min Gui said: "I know, you are the queen's sworn sister. But the emperor's crimes are the same as those of the common people. Not to mention the concubines of officials' families?"

"If you cherish the Queen's reputation, don't hinder our official duties!"

After all, Mrs. Ninth is a Jianghu person, and she is a bit brave.She said: "Sister, there is no need to stop them. Just let them take me away. Our husband will save me."

Liu Xiaoyan said: "Jiu Mei, don't be confused. In the past two years, the Ministry of Punishment and the Jinyi Guards have been on the same page. If you enter the prison of the Ministry of Punishment, you may be in trouble!"

Several wolf-like servants stepped forward and put chains on Mrs. Ninth.

One of the bosses was very arrogant and wanted to show off in front of his bosses. He grabbed the chain with his hand and dragged Mrs. Ninth out of the door.

In desperation, Liu Xiaoyan actually picked up the old yellow bow on the counter and took out an arrow from the quiver next to it.

She nocked an arrow and pulled the string: "Let me see who is not afraid of death and dares to kidnap my ninth sister today!"

Min Gui and Xia Cong didn't speak.

From ancient times to the present, big leaders have to have a scolding scoundrel.

The person in charge who was holding the chain shouted loudly: "Okay! You dare to rob someone! You rebelled!"

After saying that, the chief took out the waist knife from the waist of a guard beside him and placed the blade across the neck of Madam Ninth.

The chief said angrily: "According to the rules, someone dares to rob a prisoner from the Criminal Department. The Criminal Department has the right to execute the prisoner on the spot!"

"Mrs. Chang, if you have the ability, try shooting an arrow! I think you dare to shoot a court official in front of the main hall of the Ministry of Justice!"

Liu Xiaoyan said angrily: "Don't force me!"

The principal deliberately tightened the knife in his hand.The sharp blade directly drew a bloody mark on Madam Ninth's neck.But it was just a skin injury and not fatal.

The boss sneered: "Come on, you can cum!"

Liu Xiaoyan saw that Madam Ninth was injured. If the master's hand tightened even more, Madam Ninth's jugular vein would be cut.She was even more panicked.

Xia Cong is an extremely vicious person.He said: "Mrs. Chang, calm down. Put down your bow first."

After Xia Cong finished speaking, he gestured to push Liu Xiaoyan's right hand that was holding the bow string with his hand.In the flash of lightning, he deliberately pierced the back of Liu Xiaoyan's hand with the long nail on the middle finger of his right hand!

Liu Xiaoyan was in pain, her fingers loosened in panic, and her bow and arrow came off the string!
"Whoosh! Pop!"

The arrows shot by Old Huang Bow are extremely powerful.Shot directly into the head of the principal!
Liu Xiaoyan still had a string of Buddhist beads on her wrist that had been consecrated by an eminent monk. Now, she could just shoot the arrow to achieve salvation.

All the officials and servants of the Criminal Department present were stunned!
Min Gui felt secretly happy: This is really killing a rabbit and killing two birds with one stone!
The crime of shooting a court official in the street is much greater than being a broker of stolen goods!

The principal wife shot and killed a court official, and the concubine was a broker for selling stolen goods. Chang Feng could not escape the connection!Even being dismissed from office is considered a minor matter.

Liu Xiaoyan was stunned after shooting the arrow.How could a frequent visitor to Kunning Palace not know how serious a crime it was to shoot a court official in broad daylight?
Min Gui shouted loudly: "Mrs. Chang shot the official of the Ministry of Punishment! It's really the opposite! Come on! Capture her and Gani Zhaozhao together and escort them to the prison of the Ministry of Punishment!"

A crowd of policemen, like wolves and tigers, swarmed forward.How could these two women be their opponents?

Min Gui and Xia Cong looked at each other.

Xia Cong said: "Come on, take them back to the prison of the Criminal Department!"

Two moments later.Jinyiwei is always on duty.

Qian Ning ran in in a panic: "Master Chang, something bad has happened! Min Gui from the Criminal Department arrested Mrs. Chang and Mrs. Ninth on the street."

Chang Feng suddenly stood up from his chair: "How dare he?"

Qian Ning said: "Your servant is at the gate of Jinyiwei. He said that Mrs. Chang fired an arrow in public and shot to death a chief of the Criminal Department."

Hearing this, Chang Feng couldn't believe his ears!
