Chapter 201 Jinyiwei

"Cleaning the corpses on the mountain road. Those who are not dead will give them a ride." Zhengliang ordered the three close servants behind him and a clerk in the village. Life and death are normal in troubled times. Since those people have chosen this path, they should be ready to be killed.

The besieged woman finally left under the persuasion of the servant. Zhengliang did not pay attention to the invitation she left before leaving, and did not show up to see the woman off. Depending on the situation, the other party was a business woman. How could it be said that in an era where men dominated, as a pretty handsome woman, doing business alone would definitely cause a lot of trouble. I hope she can go smoothly, after all, she is just a passerby, and it is already very good to be able to help her when she sees injustice.

Zhengliang stood quietly on the hills, facing the gradually setting sun, looking at the red clouds in the distance, and fell into deep thought.

"Your Highness" didn't know how long it took, but the voice of Kinoshita Masana was heard in his ears.

Zhengliang woke up from contemplation and saw that several people were already standing behind and saluting respectfully, and at their feet were the materials seized from the buried mountain road.

"All have been cleaned up?" Zhengliang asked.

"Yes," Kinoshita Masana replied, "Your Highness, this thing should be for you." After that, Kinoshita Masana mysteriously handed something wrapped in cloth.

Zhengliang took it casually and felt that the thing was very light. He pinched it hard and seemed very soft. He quickly opened it and saw that it was only a small handkerchief wrapped inside. Zhengliang took the handkerchief and smelled it with his nose, and it actually had the unique fragrance of a woman. It should have been left by the young woman just now. Obviously, the other party was still looking forward to Zhengliang visiting him. However, since he did not see Zhengliang's true appearance from beginning to end, in order to avoid being pretended by others, he left such a token for the purpose of meeting him later.

Thinking of this, Zhengliang smiled and put his handkerchief in his arms. He thought that Juji at home did not have such a beautiful handkerchief? This time, should I take advantage of the opportunity to come to Mingguo and buy a few of them back?

With the seized materials, Zhengliang and others returned to the parcel.

At this time, Liu Le, who received the notice, was already greeting Zhengliang at the gate of the mountain village. After suddenly receiving the news that Zhengliang had gone out with a few followers and fought with a group of unknown bandits. Liu Le was shocked. So he quickly organized the rest of the servants in the mountain village to go to help. As a result, Zhengliang had already returned, so Liu Le had to dismiss everyone and then went to the gate to greet him in person.

"Your Highness, a gentleman has any words to do not take risks. Your Highness, please forgive me, your Highness is indeed hasty this time." Liu Le bowed his body and said.

"Oh hehe, aren't you back? Look, what is this?" Since becoming Masayoro's retainer, Liu Le gradually became the second Togo Heiji. Masayoro quickly interrupted his persuasion and quickly handed him a knife in his hand. This knife was seized from the thieves who attacked the young woman.

"Your Highness...ah? This...this is it?" Liu Le was still ready to continue persuasion, but when he saw the knife in Zhengliang's hand, he immediately screamed.

"What's going on?" Zhengliang asked hurriedly when he saw Liu Le staring at the knife in his hand in a little panic.

"Your Highness, this is not a place to speak. Please order someone to seal these weapons into the warehouse immediately, and then we go to the meeting room to discuss." When Zhengliang asked, Liu Le knew that he was wrong and immediately bowed and said.

Zhengliang was startled by his sudden actions. Although he felt like he was in the clouds and fog, he still followed Liu Le's advice and ordered.

"Your Highness, do you know what knives you were holding just now?" Liu Le bowed to Zhengliang and said in the council hall.

"What kind of knife is it?" Zhengliang certainly didn't know. But now it is basically sure that it was the knife that caused Liu Le's panic.

"This is called the Yanling Sword," Liu Le frowned and said. "People rumor that most people who like to use Yanling Sword have some connections with the Jinyiwei."

"Embroidered Uniform Guard?" Zheng Liang stood up with a whisper.

"Yes, Your Highness" Liu Le nodded and said, "The special knives of the Ming Dynasty's Jinyiwei are usually embroidered chun knives, but some Jinyiwei also like to use geese feather knives."

Damn! Zhengliang cursed in his heart. He thought that he was trying to help him when he saw injustice, but now he was the Jinyiwei doing things. He offended the others. Thinking of this, Zhengliang couldn't help but recall the records about the Jinyiwei in the Ming Dynasty.

The Jinyiwei, full name is "Jinyi Personal Military Command Commander" and is an exclusive military and political secret service agency in the Ming Dynasty. Its predecessor was the "Gongwei Department" established by Zhu Yuanzhang, and later renamed the "Personal Military Commander". The main function of the Jinyiwei is "in charge of the guards, patrols and arrests". The leader is called the Jinyiwei Commander, which is generally served by the emperor's confidant generals and is directly responsible to the emperor. In the 20th year of Hongwu, Zhu Yuanzhang ordered the burning of the Jinyiwei torture instruments, and the prisoners held were transferred to the Ministry of Justice for trial; at the same time, he ordered all internal and external prisons to be tried by the Three Laws and the Jinyiwei abolished. During the reign of Emperor Chengzu of the Ming Dynasty, the Jinyiwei was restored, and the Beizhen Fushi Department specially handled the imperial prison.

Since the Jinyiwei was directly under the jurisdiction of the emperor, other officials in the court could not interfere with them at all, so the Jinyiwei could handle major cases involving court officials and submit them directly to the emperor. Therefore, officials in the court were mostly afraid of the Jinyiwei. However, the torture scope of the Jinyiwei was only aimed at officials and literati, so they generally did not interrogate or capture ordinary people. For ordinary people, civil cases were only handled through normal judiciary. During the Hongwu period, because the Jinyiwei had illegally humiliated and abused prisoners, Zhu Yuanzhang

The imperial edict was issued to burn the torture instruments of the Jinyiwei and abolished their function. After the Emperor Chengzu of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Di restored all the power of the Jinyiwei and strengthened it. He set up the Beizhenfu Division to manage the "Edict Prison" and could directly arrest and torture prisoners, the Ministry of Justice, Dali Temple, and the Censorate, and other judicial organs had no right to interfere. During the Chenghua period of Emperor Xianzong of the Ming Dynasty, the seal letter of the Beizhenfu Division was added. All the criminal prisons were presented to the emperor. There was no need to convey them through commanders, so that the Beizhenfu Division of the Jinyiwei became a judicial institution directly under the emperor, and its power reached the extreme.

The official school of Jinyiwei, who was responsible for reconnaissance and arrest, was called "Tiqi". Due to the lack of power restrictions, they fabricated charges in order to seek credit and reward, and used all means to expand the scope of involvement, and created countless unjust, false and wrong cases. In addition, Jinyiwei had privileges, which invisibly allowed them to do whatever they wanted, corrupt and abuse the law, and were protected by the emperor's "barrier", causing social chaos.

It is the Jiajing period, and the Jinyiwei has not yet disguised himself as a bandit and disturbed the people. So why did these people besiege a woman outside the wilderness? (To be continued, please search Piaotianwen, the novel is better and faster!
