Daming Yuanfu

Chapter 394 Prepare for a Rainy Day (Part [-])
When Feng Bao left Zhang Juzheng's University Scholars' Mansion, his steps were brisk, and his round face under the bamboo hat was also smiling.

He and Xu Jue walked to the sedan chair in front of the door one after another. Just as they were about to get on the sedan chair, three figures turned around at the corner of the street, staggering a bit, and came supporting each other.

Feng Bao originally planned to get into the sedan chair directly, but when he saw the three people approaching, he immediately stopped, stood by the side of the sedan chair, opened the door curtain, and pretended to be waiting for Xu Jue to get on the sedan chair.

Xu Jue also noticed the three people over there, so he had no choice but to cooperate with Feng Bao in acting, and stepped forward as if he was the master.

The three of them also saw Feng Bao and the others, and one of them yelled inarticulately, "Who... who's there? No, I don't know... is there a curfew?"

Xu Jue's face turned cold, he turned around, and said solemnly: "When you get drunk late at night, do you know the curfew?"

It turned out that the reason why the three staggered and supported each other was because they were drunk. The three of them were not far from Feng Bao's side now, and the smell of alcohol rushed towards them, which made Xu Jue unhappy.

On the other hand, Feng Bao didn't respond to the smell of alcohol, but seeing that the three of them seemed to be planning to make trouble, he couldn't help frowning slightly.

"Hey?" The other man opened his tongue, shook off the other two, took two steps forward, raised his chin, patted his chest and said, "We are Jin Yiwei, and we are out to watch the night today. Is the curfew still on my head?"

The man from before also stepped forward, stretched out his hand to stop him, and said with a chuckle, "That's right, Jin, Jin Yiwei was patrolling the night, just happened to bump into you who violated the curfew... Come on, come with us!"

Xu Jue subconsciously turned his head and glanced at Feng Bao. Seeing Feng Bao's face was gloomy and he didn't say a word, he couldn't help but strengthened his courage and sneered at the three Jin Yiwei: "Walk with you? Where are you going? Beizhen Fusi ?"

The three guards in Jinyi also seemed to be taken aback for a moment, but the one in the lead reacted quickly, and even seemed to be so shocked that he sobered up a little, his eyes fixed, and he shouted: "If you violate the curfew at night, why bother with Beizhen Fusi? Can't the three take you first?"

Just as Xu Jue was about to answer, he didn't expect Feng Bao who was behind him to suddenly say coldly: "If the Fusi of Beizhen hadn't handled the case according to the emperor's will, you three would have dared to say that I would get Feng... people?"

As soon as these words came out, the three Jinyiwei guys were stunned for a while, and they looked at each other with hesitation on their faces.

In fact, due to the exaggeration of some film and television works in later generations, people's understanding of Jinyiwei is somewhat biased and narrow. Most ordinary people's impression of Jinyiwei is that they are wearing flying fish suits, wearing embroidered spring knives on their waists, and martial arts. It is a negative image, and the perception of its status and control is basically one word: spy.

The usual saying is: Jinyiwei is a secret service agency, and it is the Dongchang Eagle Dog who acts like a domineering and oppresses the people.However, in fact, only a small part of these impressions are true, and most of them are far from the actual situation of Jinyiwei in history.

Those who are actually in charge of "secret agents" in Jinyiwei account for only about 5.00% of the entire Jinyiwei organization, mainly "Tiqi" and are controlled by Beizhen Fusi.

The number of these riders is actually not too many. For example, during the Chenghua period of Emperor Xianzong, there were only 100 riders under the command of the guards in charge of Jinyiwei, who were responsible for monitoring the capital's misconduct, desperation, robbery, and confidential events; There are only 200 riders, full-time catching thieves.The source of these Tiqi is mainly "Heroes or Jia Renzi".

In addition, the East Factory also selected 80 people from Jinyiwei, most of whom were "sharp and sharp claws" who specialized in "checking people out of the book room". The number of people is twice as large as that of the East Factory, and the authority is even higher than that of the East Factory.

These Tiqi (Jinyiwei school lieutenants with detective powers) are considered "secret agents", and their number generally does not exceed 600, accounting for less than 5.00% of the total number of Jinyiwei (Note: A full staff is 1120 people, Jinyiwei has 17 institutes).Moreover, Tiqi is selected from the people, which is different from the rule that the general guards are inherited from father to son.

In short, most of the Jinyiwei, who are inherited from father to son, are not really spies, they are just "the son of heaven and the army", and they have no authority to arrest criminals.The power that Jin Yiwei really makes officials vigilant, fearful and disgusted is actually in the hands of Beizhen Fusi.

Moreover, even if Beizhen Fusi has these "secret agent" authority, their job is not to detect ordinary people, but to supervise and detect officials.Although the oppression of the common people is sometimes unavoidable, it is not the main thing after all. The reason why later generations portray Beizhen Fusi as if it is an eighteen-story hell, in the final analysis, the problem lies in its management - dealing with officials.

The pen is in the hands of civil servants, how much good reputation can Jinyiwei Beizhen Fusi, as a violent spy agency dealing with civil servants, have?Even if among the officials arrested by Jin Yiwei, 99 out of [-] arrests deserved their crimes, but as long as one is caught by mistake, or one with a good reputation is arrested, it will be a stain that cannot be washed away, and can only be treated by the civil official group. Repeated rendering and magnification, the last leaf blinded, became the evidence of Jin Yiwei's crime.

Since the three of them are Jinyiwei, their family members of course know about their own family affairs, so the other party just said "Go to Beizhen Fusi", and they immediately dared not speak casually - it means that they must be officials, or the family members of officials.

In a place like the capital, as a hereditary Jinyiwei, it might not be a big problem to bully ordinary people, but this is the place with the most officials in the world. If you just throw a brick into the crowd, you might be able to kill one or two of the eighth and ninth ranks. official.Although they are only rank eight or nine, the officials of rank eight or nine in Beijing are not joking. They are all civil servants, and they may be from Hanlin. How can they be provoked by a group of big soldiers?
So the Jin Yiwei who took the lead immediately hesitated, and laughed dryly: "Oh...it seems that there is a misunderstanding? Haha, it's okay, it's okay, we're just passing by, just ask a question...Dare to ask Mr. Guidi? Which Feng is it? House?"

At this time, it stands to reason that Feng Bao, who was playing the role of a follower, should answer, but Feng Bao was annoyed that he was spoiled by a few drunks of Jin Yiwei, so he didn't speak.Xu Jue had no choice but to snort coldly, and said: "I want to teach you military masters that my master is the prince's companion, the ceremonial supervisor Bingbi, and the Dongchang admiral Feng Gong."

When the three Jinyiwei drunks heard the word "Admiral of the East Factory", their faces turned pale with fright, and their whole bodies trembled like sifting chaff.The two behind fell to their knees with a plop, their mouths were vague and they didn't know whether they were begging for mercy or defending themselves.

The person at the head is a bit stronger, although he is also sifting chaff, he can still stand at least, but he keeps bowing and bowing, and said: "The little ones don't know Mount Tai, I don't know that the master is actually the person in front of Dugong Feng, All death, all death."

Feng Bao saw that they were afraid of his own reputation, and his mood improved a lot. Seeing that Xu Jue wanted to reprimand them with a false prestige, he coughed lightly, and interrupted: "Although you are blind, you are still sensible, and you have been convicted. Let’s not take the blame this time, just step back.”

The three of them seemed to be pardoned, and while saying words of gratitude, they got up and ran away, for fear that people from Feng Dugong's family would suddenly change their minds.

Seeing them leaving, Feng Bao snorted coldly, and Xu Jue quickly gave up his seat in front of the sedan chair and let Feng Bao get on the sedan chair.

But they didn't know that at the corner of the street, the three drunk men looked at each other without being drunk, and one of them smiled and said: "Young master is really good at predicting things, our people are here to watch the night. After half a year, it's finally time."

The other person also laughed: "Young Master is just taking money from others to eliminate disasters. This is a godsend, I'm afraid there is someone else."

In the end, the man waved his hand: "Don't talk too much about these things, don't talk too much! Let's just do things with peace of mind... You know, that master has a lot of money. We are afraid that this time we will be rewarded a lot, so we should hurry up Go back and report, it is only right to get the reward."

"exactly!"

The three of them looked at each other and smiled, and immediately hooked their shoulders and walked away happily.

　The foreshadowing in the previous article has uncovered another small corner-you see, I am really not writing a useless plot in front of me, but the foreshadowing is buried a little far away.
