Jin Yiwei is on duty, signing Fengshen Legs at the beginning

Governor Luo walked into the lobby with several guards, bowed his hands to Niu Ren and said, “Master Niu.”

Niu Ren stood up and greeted him: “Master Governor, please take a seat.”

“I’ve met the Governor.”

Huang Shaojie and others all bowed their hands to Governor Luo.

Governor Luo also slightly bowed his hands to the three of them.

After Governor Luo sat down to serve tea, Niu Ren took a sip of tea and asked, “Did Governor Luo come here because of Cao Renqi’s affairs?”

“Exactly.” Governor Luo nodded, then cupped his hands and said, “I came here specifically to thank Lord Niu for your kindness.”

Niu Ren naturally understood what Governor Luo meant, but he pretended to be confused and said, “Why did the Governor say this?”

Inspector Luo said: “If Master Niu hadn’t discovered in time that Cao Renqi was a Japanese pirate, and sent someone to tell Cao Renqi that he had left a Japanese assassin, I would have been in danger of death, so I would like to thank Master Niu for his great kindness.”

Four Japanese assassins stayed in the governor’s mansion disguised as bodyguards, and there was a possibility of assassinating the governor at any time.

Even if Governor Luo has experts around him, he will not be wary of the guards in the mansion.

Therefore, these four Japanese assassins have every chance of killing Governor Luo.

Niu Ren smiled slightly: “You don’t have to be polite, Governor. Since we discovered Cao Ren’s Qitong Japanese, we naturally have to guard against him misbehaving with the Governor.”

Governor Luo had a look of resentment on his face and said angrily: “I didn’t expect that Cao Renqi would be so bold and dare to betray the country by treason with the Japanese. The Jin Yiwei must check Cao Renqi carefully to see if he has any accomplices or backers who are treason with the Japanese.”

Niu Renxin was as clear as a mirror to what Luo Jishi said.

The current emperor has two direct princes, namely King Xiang Hong of Qi and King Xiang Hu of Han.

These two princes are most likely to inherit the throne of Dachu in the future.

The King of Qi and the King of Han fought openly and secretly, each wooing officials from the court and the Jianghu sects, forming their own forces to compete for the position of crown prince in the future.

Some of the officials in the court aligned themselves with the King of Qi, and some aligned with the King of Han.

There are also those who do not take sides and remain neutral.

The governor Luo was from the King of Qi faction.

Cao Renqi is from the Han Dynasty faction.

Now that Cao Ren has seven traitors to the Japanese, this is undoubtedly the best time for the Qi Wang faction to counterattack the Han Wang faction.

Therefore, Governor Luo said that he hoped that Jin Yiwei would investigate whether Cao Renqi had any accomplices who were involved in the Japanese, and whether he had any backers behind the scenes.

The point of the spear is self-evident.

Of course Niu Ren would not get involved in the struggle between the King of Qi and the King of Han.

The commander of the Jin Yiwei, Ling Xiaotian, has an order. The Jin Yiwei is only loyal to the emperor and will not side with any of the princes. Violators of the family rules will be punished.

“You don’t need to say anything about this, Lord Governor. We, the Jinyi Guards, will naturally find out everything. We will not let go of any official who is a traitor to Japan, nor will we wrongly accuse any good official.”

The meaning of Niu Ren’s words was very clear. Jinyiwei was doing business and would not deliberately target or investigate anyone.

Naturally, Governor Luo could understand the meaning of Niu Ren’s words. He originally wanted to take the opportunity to lure Niu Ren, the Jinyiwei Qianhu, into the water and ask him to join the side of King Qi.

But now it seems that Niu Ren still adheres to his principles and does not take sides.

Governor Luo waved and asked his guards to present a brocade box.

“Lord Niu, this is one thousand taels of gold. This is my thanks to Lord Niu for your kindness.”

Niu Ren looked at the thousand taels of gold presented by the guards and couldn’t help but smile:

“You are so polite, Lord Governor, but I dare not accept it!”

Governor Luo cupped his hands and said, “Master Niu, please don’t be polite. A mere thousand taels of gold means nothing for saving my life.”

Niu Ren nodded reluctantly: “Okay, since Governor Luo has such good intentions, we Jin Yiwei will accept it.”

After saying that, he looked down at Huang Shaojie: “Mr. Huang.”

Huang Shaojie stepped forward and bowed his hands: “My subordinate is here.”

Niu Ren said: “You are the first to investigate and deal with Cao Ren’s seven Japanese pirates. I will reward you with one hundred taels of gold.”

“Thank you, Master Qianhu.” Huang Shaojie thanked him with a bow.

Niu Ren looked at Li Baihu and Xiao Qiuyue and said, “Give me the order and collect your reward before the end of the day. One hundred households will be rewarded with one hundred taels of silver, one hundred trial households will be given fifty taels, the general flag will be thirty taels, the small flag will be ten taels, and the remaining schools will be rewarded with 100 taels of silver.” Wei Lishi and others were all rewarded with two taels of silver.”

Li Baihu and Xiao Qiuyue both cupped their hands and said, “Thank you, sir.”

The reason why Niu Ren distributed the reward in front of Governor Luo was to show that the thousand taels of gold given by Governor Luo was not for Niu Ren to keep for himself, but to use it in the Jinyiwei Yamen.

Governor Luo also understood what Niu Ren meant and did not want to accept his favor alone, lest he be suspected of being friends with the Qi King’s party.

Governor Luo stood up and said goodbye: “Master Niu is busy with official duties, so I won’t bother you further and will just go back to my house.”

Niu Ren also stood up and handed over his hands: “Sir, please go slowly. Oh, by the way, Cao Ren sent a lieutenant with a thousand soldiers to the beach of Yancheng to escort one million kilograms of sea salt for Dongsheng Chamber of Commerce. The governor sent soldiers and horses to intercept Come on, don’t fall into the hands of the Japanese pirates.”

Governor Luo said: “Okay.

When I returned, I immediately sent the infantry commander with 5,000 troops to Yancheng, and escorted Cao Renqi’s lieutenant back to Suzhou along with one million kilograms of sea salt. ”

After Governor Luo left, Huang Shaojie raised his hands and said to Niu Ren: “Master Qianhu, I have something to ask of you.”

“Oh, what’s the matter?” Niu Ren sat back on the chair and looked at Huang Shaojie and asked.

Huang Shaojie said: “Although the assassin Wu Zhen assassinated the imperial official, Cao Renqi raped his wife, killed his whole family, and falsely accused him of being a traitor to the Japanese. Now that the matter has been found out, it was Cao Renqi who was really a traitor to the Japanese. So, is this Wu Zhen Can he be acquitted?”

Huang Shaojie sympathized with and admired Wu Zhen very much.

He was the one who caught Jin Yiwei in prison, and he really didn’t want Wu Zhen to be sentenced to be beheaded.

Wu Zhen is a real man, and there is nothing wrong in what he does.

However, his assassination of a court official did violate national law, even though Cao Renqi was now found to be a Japanese communicator.

Niu Ren nodded slightly: “Wu Zhen is a good man. He has been wronged for ten years and has a bloody feud. If it were me, he would assassinate Cao Renqi.”

“If Cao Renqi had not collaborated with the Japanese, Wu Zhen would still have been sentenced to death. Now that Cao Renqi has been found to have collaborated with the Japanese, Wu Zhen is guilty of assassinating a Japanese spy. What crime is he guilty of?”

Huang Shaojie was overjoyed and said with cupped hands: “What your Excellency said is absolutely true, then let’s let Wu Zhen go now, right?”

Niu Ren hummed and said, “You go to the dungeon now, acquit Wu Zhen, and tell him the cause and consequences. If he wants to work as an errand in the Jinyiwei Yamen, I can let him be a small flagman first, and then he will be promoted after his meritorious service.”

With Wu Zhen’s first-grade master’s cultivation level, let alone Xiao Qi, it is more than enough to be a trial hundred households.

“I obey my orders!”

Huang Shaojie bowed his head and took the order to leave the lobby.

Come to the dungeon.

Xiao Qi, who was guarding the dungeon, came up to him, bowed his head and asked, “Is Mr. Huang coming to pick up the prisoner?”

Huang Shaojie said: “Under the orders of Niu Qianhu, the Japanese spy who was assassinated by Wu Zhen has been acquitted. Take me to open Wu Zhen’s cell!”

Upon hearing this, Xiao Qi nodded quickly: “Mr. Huang, please come with me.”

Xiaoqi took Huang Shaojie to the prison where Wu Zhen was imprisoned and opened the cell door.

Huang Shaojie said to Xiao Qi: “Take off the shackles on Wu Zhen.”

Xiao Qi took out the key and unlocked the shackles on Wu Zhen’s hands and feet.
