Chapter 57 Establishing Prestige
The next day, the Jinyi Guards were in charge of the headquarters.

Jia Wei, dressed in a Feiyu suit and with an embroidered spring sword on his waist, entered through the main gate. Northern Pacification Envoy Qiu Duwei and Captain Lu Wenzhao were already waiting with their men.

"Greetings, His Excellency!" everyone said in unison.

Shen Lian, the commander-in-chief of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, was standing at the end of the crowd, saluting together.

He glanced at the new deputy minister and was stunned for a moment...

How could it be him!
The Su Can whom I met in Nuanxiang Pavilion of the Jiaofangsi, Mr. Su?

They were having tea together that day, and it was this Mr. Su who laughed last and was chosen by Zhou Miaotong... Fortunately, the Eastern Depot's men arrived in the end.

Shen Lian was a little surprised. He didn't expect that he was Jia Wei, who had become famous recently. As a member of the Imperial Guard, Shen Lian naturally knew a lot about Jia Wei.

The top military scholar, the Dragon Guard, the deputy commander of the Imperial Guard, the guard who quelled the rebellion at Tiewang Mountain, and the first-class viscount...

"Stop talking nonsense. I'll select some men and follow me to raid the homes of those traitors." Jia Wei waved his hand. Qiu and Lu were pretending to obey him but secretly disobeying him, so he naturally wouldn't be happy about it.

Captain Qiu smiled and said, "Let's not talk about anything else. The Jinyiwei are good at confiscating property. I have already selected a banner of soldiers for your dispatch. I guarantee that they will complete your task!"

Jia Wei said coldly: "Are you teaching me how to do things?"

"I dare not!" Captain Qiu leaned forward and explained, "It's just that such a big case happened in Tiewang Mountain yesterday, and the other brothers have work to do. The factory manager is pressing us hard, so we can't get busy for the time being..."

Jia Wei glanced at everyone and sneered, "The Jinyiwei is the emperor's personal army. Some people are so used to being dogs under others that they have forgotten their duties."

Captain Qiu's face turned pale and blue, and he was furious but did not dare to lose his temper. Anyone with a discerning eye could see that Jia Wei wanted to establish his authority.

Jia Wei didn't go to see him. "Where are Lu Jianxing, Shen Lian, and Jin Yichuan?"

The crowd was stunned and all turned around to look back. The three brothers were also confused. How did the newly appointed assistant minister know about them?
There was no time to think about it. The three of them leaned forward and said in unison: "Here are your humble servants."

Jia Wei said, "I'll give you half a quarter of an hour. Bring your men and follow me to search the house."

The three brothers looked at each other, and Shen Lian and Jin Yichuan both turned their eyes to their eldest brother Lu Jianxing.

When Lu Jianxing looked up, he saw Captain Qiu and Lu Wenzhao winking at him.

Captain Qiu smiled with a fake smile, waiting to see Jia Wei's good show. Without his nod, how could Jia Wei, a newcomer, take people away? Even if he took people away, he would have a way to set a trap in the middle and let Jia Wei suffer the consequences.

Lu Jianxing had been in the officialdom for many years, and he understood that the county magistrate was not as good as the current manager. Just as he was about to refuse, he heard Jia Wei smile and said lightly:
"I am serving as an imperial envoy, and those who disobey orders will be punished by death!
"...Of course, if you do a good job, you will also get some benefits. I will reward you with a centurion first."

When Jia Wei said the word "hundred households", Lu Wenzhao's heart skipped a beat.

Lu Jianxing's father was a centurion of the Jinyiwei, and his mother's long-cherished wish was for him to inherit the title of centurion. How many people did he ask for help and how much money did he bribe in order to get this sixth-rank centurion?

This new deputy judge managed to find Lu Jianxing's weak spot with just one casual remark?

Is it really such a coincidence?
Lu Jianxing took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "I obey your command!"

The three brothers were one. Seeing that their eldest brother had agreed, Shen Lian and Jin Yichuan also said, "I obey your command!"

The three of them quickly left the courtyard and counted the people. Jia Wei was still standing in the courtyard waiting, so the others could not leave for a while.

Lu Wenzhao was a little curious. Captain Qiu's face was terribly gloomy, and there was a lot of buzz in the audience.

"The three Shen Lian brothers are really three ungrateful wolves. They start to lick the new master as soon as they see him..." There was a hint of jealousy in his words.

"This deputy minister is so overbearing... We will be in trouble from now on!"

This is not groundless. The Jinyiwei is a special organization. The person in charge is never the commander-in-chief or the deputy commander, but the person appointed by the emperor to "be in charge of the Jinyiwei affairs."

Suddenly someone complained, "A kid who hasn't even grown all his hair yet scared you? The factory owner is still here!"

Jia Wei suddenly shouted loudly, and everyone on the spot was shocked.

"You! What's your name?" Jia Wei pointed at the man who had just spoken. He had already entered the realm of innateness, with sharp ears and eyes, and he could hear all the people's comments.

The man was startled and lowered his head guiltily, but Jia Wei was staring at him and he had no way to escape.

"Your Excellency, I am Ling Yunkai."

Jia Wei waved to him, and Ling Yunkai walked up with a pale face.

"Repeat what you just said."

Ling Yunkai's pupils dilated slightly, and he turned his head to look at Lu Wenzhao, as if asking for help.

Jia Wei also looked at Lu Wenzhao and said with a smile: "Master Qianhu, what is the crime of insulting your superiors with rude words and humiliating the first-class viscount of the Han Dynasty?"

"This……"

Jia Wei didn't wait for his answer and slapped Ling Yunkai in the face.

"Snapped!"

Jia Wei used so much force that several of Ling Yunkai's teeth flew out. He rushed out at an angle and hit the beam hard. He put his hand to cover his mouth and blood flowed out from between his fingers.

The Jinyiwei were all stunned, and the scene was dead silent...

Jia Wei did not give up. He took the whip again, walked up to Ling Yunkai, and started whipping him all over the head.

He didn't care about the strength and just whipped him casually. After a few whips, Ling Yunkai couldn't help but scream.

Lu Wenzhao watched a few more whips fall before he stepped forward to stop them. He used all his internal strength to hold down Jia Wei's hand and said, "Master Jia, Lingyun Armor's General Flag is the nephew of the factory owner..."

Jia Wei also whipped him with a whip, pushed him a foot away, and cursed: "I don't know? Do you need to tell me?"

Then Jia Wei continued to whip, and every thousand households received a whip, and no one dared to step forward to stop him.

Lu Wenzhao turned his wrist and saw a blood mark, and he couldn't help but be shocked.

"An innate master?"

"Since when has the imperial court's top martial arts scholar reached the level of the best martial arts masters..."

The three Shen Lian brothers also arrived with their people, and they stood there and watched.

Watching Jia Wei whipping him again and again, watching the normally unruly Ling Yunkai, who was also their general flag, wailing less and less until he was beaten to silence...

After Jia Wei finished beating the man, he swung the bloody horsewhip. Everyone stood there, silent as a mouse.

"Are all the people here? Let's go, Lord Qiu, Lord Lu, please wash the floor."

Jia Wei turned and left. At this point, Shen Lian and the other two had no way to retreat and could only follow him.

After leaving the Jinyiwei, he went straight to Zhao Wuji's residence.

Shen Lian and the other two followed behind him, feeling confused but not daring to ask.

Jia Wei noticed it, but just smiled and didn't care.

The reason he chose the three Shen Lian brothers was certainly not simply because he was familiar with these three names.

Most of the Jinyiwei nowadays are Wei Ao's men, and the rest, except for the emperor's men, are from all the gates and government offices.

However, Shen Lian, Lu Jianxing and Jin Yichuan have no foundation at all, and each of them has their own weaknesses.

With clean identities, competent abilities, and good control, Jia Wei would naturally choose them...
