Jinyi Town Mountains and Rivers

Chapter 2
Jinyiwei has a noble status, unlike other pro-military yamen scattered in the alleys of the capital, but outside Chengtianmen, on the west side of the Thousand Steps Corridor, adjacent to the Dudu Mansion of the Five Armies, and across the street from the Six Departments on the east side.

He Liu and Lao Hu lazily walked to the gate of Fusi Yamen in Beizhen, and it was already three shots in the sun.

Outside the Yamen of Fusi in Beizhen, four officials in Jinyiwei dressed in thousands of households jumped on their horses, followed by a hundred warriors with swords.A group of people are majestic, and they headed east in a mighty way.

Chengtianmen is the root of the imperial city.Whether it is the officials of the six ministries or the generals of the five armies, who dares to gallop here?
Only Jinyiwei's people dare to swagger here.

Lao Hu said to He Liu: "It is estimated that there is another big case, and the thirteen imperial guards of Jinyiwei have alarmed four of you! Lao Liu, I think your job will start again after arresting the person."

The thirteen imperial guards of Jinyiwei mentioned by Lao Hu is not an official official taboo, but a seniority ranking among Jinyiwei.

He Liu's original name is He Ping'an.Because he is also a member of the [-]th Taibao of Jinyiwei, ranking sixth, so he is called He Liu.After a long time, others forgot his real name, and his subordinates respectfully called him "Liu Ye".His superiors and colleagues called him "Old Six".

The thirteenth Taibao of Jinyiwei, the seven Fusi of Beizhen, and the six Fusi of Nanzhen.

The 13 people are Liu Da, the governor of the Beisi, He Er, the governor of the Nansi, Jinsan of Qianhu, who is in charge of the prison of the Beisi, Jiang Si of a thousand households of the Nansi, Han Wu of a thousand households of the Nansi, and Han Wu of the Qianhu of the Beisi. He Liu of one hundred households was inspected, Xu Qi of Qianhu was deputy inspector of Beisi, Wang Ba of Qianhu was in charge of Beisi, Xue Jiu of Qianhu was patrolling the city of Nansi, Yan Shi of Qianhu was in charge of punishment of Beisi, Li Shishi was deputy of Qianhu of Sisi , Zhao Twelve, a thousand households surveyed by the Northern Division, and Qi Shisan, a hundred households passed down by the Southern Division.

Above the Thirteenth Taibao, there are Jin Yiwei who command the affairs, command the colleagues, and command the envoys.

He Laoliu was able to rank among the Thirteen Taibao, not because he was so shrewd and capable.

The other twelve Taibao are all dragons and phoenixes among men, smart and capable, and have a competitive heart.

He Liu is a well-known "honest man", and he has devoted himself to raiding his home for more than 20 years.He has always been indifferent to things such as meritorious service and promotion, which others have fought for.

Lu Bing, the commander of Jinyiwei, took a fancy to him, and named him the sixth son of the Thirteen Taibao.

He Liu and Lao Hu walked to the gate of Beizhen Fusi's yamen, and all the gatekeepers bowed their hands to He Liu: "Liu Ye is here."

He Liu said politely: "Sun Baihu is on duty at the gate today?"

The gatekeeper replied: "Yes. I have been on duty for the past two days. Sixth Master, are you going to raid the house today?"

He Liu replied: "How can I be so free. Today I will copy the house of Wan Anliang, the right servant of the Ministry of Rites."

The gatekeeper smiled meaningfully and said: "Then Wan Anliang is notoriously poor and clean. It seems that the sixth master is going to make a futile trip today."

There has always been an unwritten rule in Jin Yiwei's raiding of the house - every hundred pick up one.

For example, if 1 taels of silver were confiscated from an official's house, Jin Yiwei would keep 100 taels of silver and keep it in the warehouse in Beizhen.By the end of the year, everyone from commanders to lieutenants and wrestlers can share a share.

This is not a bad practice unique to Jin Yiwei.Nowadays, in all the yamen in the Ming Dynasty from the capital to the local areas, which one has not been plucked by wild goose?But which yamen doesn't reach out to grab some of the living water money that passes by?
After entering the Beisi yamen, He Liu directly led Lao Hu into the signing room.

To search the house of an official ordered by the imperial court, He Liu had to get a driving letter bearing the seal of the Commander of Jinyiwei.

The signing room was empty.It seems that Beisi did have a big case to handle today, and everyone left.

He Liu and Lao Hu sat in the signing room for a while, and Liu Da, the governor of Beisi, walked in.

Liu Danian was only [-], and he had only been in Jinyiwei for ten years, but he was promoted from a warrior to Beisi Zhenfu envoy, ranking first among the Thirteen Taibao.This person's scheming and means can be seen.

"See Fushi Liu Zhen."

He Liu and Lao Hu half knelt and cupped their hands, saluting Liu Zhenfu.

The envoy Liu Zhen waved his hand: "Excuse me, old six."

After finishing speaking, he took out a driving card from his sleeve and handed it to He Liu: "This is the driving card of Wan Anliang's family, the criminal copyist. This poor and clean family doesn't have anything to cheat on."

After saying this, Liu Zhenfu envoy suddenly lowered his voice, and said to He Liu: "However, Yan Songyan's chief assistant specially explained that there may be a Song Dynasty Zhang Zeduan's "Qingming Riverside Picture" hidden in Wan Anliang's mansion. You should pay attention. If If you find this picture, you don’t have to hand it over to the warehouse, just bring it to me.”

He Liu said "Oh".

The envoy Liu Zhen suddenly turned his head and said to Lao Hu: "It smells so strong. You started drinking again early in the morning, Master?"

When Liu Zhenfu envoy first joined Jinyiwei, he was Lao Hu's guide.According to Jin Yiwei's family rules, even if Liu Zhenfu envoy takes up the position of commander one day, he should respectfully call Lao Hu, a small flag officer, "Master".

Lao Hu smiled awkwardly: "I didn't drink much."

Liu Zhenfu frowned: "Master, drink less from the bar in the future. If Jiang Si, who is in charge of the law and discipline of Nansi, knows that you drink when you are always on a job... that guy looks for our Beisi with staring eyes every day. What a mess!"

Lao Hu smiled again: "I really didn't drink much."

Liu Zhenfu shook his head helplessly: "A while ago we sent a few brothers to Jiangnan to handle the case, and when they came back, they brought me two jars of authentic 20-year-old daughter red. I will send someone to your house at night, Master. Alright, I've got the driving ticket, you guys go to work."

He Liu and Lao Hu walked out of the signing room and went directly to Xu Qi, deputy inspector of Qianhu.

Although He Liu has the title of Hundred Households on his head, Lao Hu is the only one under his command.When going to ransack a house, you always have to bring more people to support the scene, do rough work, move gold and silver treasures and the like.He Liudu went to Xu Qi, deputy inspector of thousands of households, to transfer people.

Xu Qi, nicknamed Fatty Xu, is the fattest person in Jinyiwei.His flying fish suit was even specially tailored by a tailor, otherwise, how could the small flying fish suit cover his big belly like Maitreya Buddha?
"Qi Ye, copy the house of Wan Anliang from the Ministry of Rites today. I will transfer a few people." He Liu cupped his hands towards Xu Qiyi and said.

Xu Qi nodded: "Lao Liu, is it enough for you to transfer fifty wrestlers?"

He Liu said: "Success. That's enough. Please trouble Qiye."

After leaving Xu Qi's place, He Liu and Lao Hu entered the Beisi arsenal.

After rows of brand-new firecrackers and Xiuchun knives emitting a cold light, the two came to the depths of the arsenal.

In the depths of the arsenal, there is a small nanmu table.A three-foot-square box was placed on the table.

This box is called "Innocent Box".It contains various tools used to search for gold and silver treasures when searching for hundreds of households.

He Liu bowed his hands towards the "Innocence Box" and bowed down: "My ancestor, He Liu, the disciple of the sixth generation, come to ask for your innocence."

After taking the clean case from the arsenal, He Liu and Lao Hu led fifty warriors out of the Yamen of Beizhen, and headed straight for Wan'an Liang's house in the south of the city.

Two years ago, the first assistant of the cabinet was Xia Yan, and the second assistant was Yan Song.The two walk in the same water and fire.The battle between Xia Dang and Yan Dang finally ended with Yan Song's victory.Xia Yan had no choice but to return to his hometown.Yan Song ascended to the high position of chief assistant.

In the past two years, Yan Song, the chief assistant, has spared no effort to clean up the remaining Xia Yan party in the court.Wan Anliang, the right servant of the Ministry of Rites, is one of the members of the Xia Party.

This person was born in the south of the Yangtze River from a family of scholars from generation to generation. He was a Tanhua in the 14th year of Jiajing, and a well-known leader of Qingliu in the court.

It is said that Wan Shilang's mother had a birthday party, and his son actually bought a chicken with only five guan.

Such an upright official, what can the family have to copy?
