Chen Xi rested for about an hour, and just as he was about to continue the trial, a soldier suddenly came to report: "Sir, the imperial envoy, Yongning Wei Cai is guarding outside to ask for a visit!"

Chen Xi stood up, sorted out his official uniform a little, and said, "It's so fast. I'll let Yu Niang accompany me out to see this guardian."

The full name of the guard is the guard eunuch. After the middle of the Ming Dynasty, the guard eunuch was in charge of military and political affairs in important military areas and became a decree. As one of the three guard cities, Yongning Guard ruled more than 200,000 people. His status in Fujian was comparable to that in Quanzhou Prefecture. With the guard commander inside, the court had guard eunuchs, one led troops and the other performed the responsibility of supervision. However, as the guard eunuchs who were slaves of the emperor, their status was still above the guard commander.

Chen Xi came out of the main hall and before he could reach the door of the official office, he saw a man with a slim figure but a greasy face and a feminine appearance walking in.

The man's name is Cai Lin, who is about forty years old. When he arrived in front of Chen Xi, he looked up and down, then looked at Yu Niang behind Chen Xi, and sighed, "There is a handsome man next to the little imperial envoy."

This way of greeting Chen Xi felt quite strange. When he met Cai Zhenshou, he seemed to fall in love with Yu Niang. However, when he thought of this old eunuch, he had probably become psychologically perverted for a long time. Perhaps he regarded Yu Niang as a man and was unable to look like a body... Well, the picture was too beautiful, and I really didn't dare to think about it too much!

"I've seen Cai Zhenshou."

Although Chen Xi was extremely disgusted, he still saluted respectfully to express his respect for Cai Lin.

Cai Lin looked Yu Niang carefully again, then came to his senses, and said in a bad tone: "Mr. Shen was in a hurry after coming to Quanzhou. He first fought with Folang Jiren in the Tuotong Port for a night and got a great contribution out of thin air... However, since you have made contributions, you should go back to report to the court. Who would have thought that you would kill someone and then return to Quanzhou Prefecture? But I think your contribution was not great enough?"

Chen Xi shook his head slightly: "I have other cases to handle."

"The case that Lord Shen called is not something that was stolen out of nothing, right? I heard that Your Majesty asked you to return to Beijing before June. If you don't leave now, you may have to delay your trip... We have never seen an imperial envoy like Lord Shen. If you don't return to Beijing early to report, you always like to make trouble..."

"Does young people nowadays like to make some noises and make people think you are capable? Could it be that if the Ming Dynasty leaves you, you will be destroyed?"

Chen Xi discovered that Cai Lin was mean and was completely a silly wordless. He didn't scold others but had to make people feel ashamed before he could give up.

But Chen Xi's face is thicker than the city wall. He really doesn't care much about an old eunuch. Chen Xi thought to himself: "I dare to offend even a future powerful official like Liu Jin, let alone you, a eunuch who is sent to guard the border?"

Chen Xidao: "Cai Zhen came here to interfere with the case handling of the imperial envoy, right?"

Cai Lin was stunned for a moment, and he thought to himself: "I left the town and represent the authority of the emperor. Who is not afraid of me? I came over and talked to you in a good manner, so that you could leave with tactfulness. You were so good that you actually called me on the board. You clearly acted as a soft dough and didn't dare to treat you!"

Cai Lin said: "I heard that the emperor's mission handled by Lord Shen is only limited to receiving diplomatic envoys and receiving tributes. It seems that there is no interference in local government affairs? If everything is true, I must solemnly warn you now that you are doing something that harms the local area... Nearly 100 people at the prefecture and county levels, you can arrest them as soon as you say. Where is the law of the Ming Dynasty? If you insist on saying that it is also the emperor's will, then do you have the evidence that Your Majesty sent you to handle this case, or the flag of the king?"

Chen Xi said coldly: "Whether this imperial envoy has the power, it's not the turn of Cai Zhenshou to make trouble!"

"What did you say?"

Cai Lin was annoyed at the moment. You are the imperial envoy, so I, the eunuch in charge, aren't the imperial envoy? You, a little sixth-rank general, dare to show off your power in front of me. You obviously don't want to live anymore, right?

Chen Xi repeated: "I was ordered to handle the case. As for whether the conduct is appropriate, it can only be decided by Your Majesty and the court, so that Cai Zhenguan will not worry about anything."

Cai Lin was so angry that he stamped his feet and said harshly: "You... you are so angry that you are so angry that you are so angry that you are so angry! Our family came here to remind you that you dare to talk to our family like this. If our family hadn't been Gu Nian and you were ministers, they would have... hum..."

"Okay, you said you were the one who handled the case yourself. Then our family asked you, did you arrest so many officials of the fourth-rank magistrate and the prefecture-level yamen, but did you get conclusive evidence of the crime?"

Seeing that Chen Xi was in a quarrel with the eunuch in charge, Yu Niang quickly helped explain: "Cai Zhenshou, in fact, Lord Shen has raised a large amount of dirty silver from the private houses of the prefect Zhang in Quanzhou City. The amount of these dirty silver is huge. With the salary of the prefect Zhang, I am afraid that it will not be able to earn for a hundred years. Isn't this the income from corruption and abuse of power?"

Cai Lin smiled sinisterly: "Hmph, you don't know where you found the money, so you dare to say that it was the corruption of the prefect Zhang? Humph, in this way, our family also has private money, so you also have to go to the court to sue someone?"

Chen Xi knew that Cai Lin came to intimidate because Cai Lin couldn't tell the matter clearly and was a vested interest.

To say that Quanzhou Guards are indifferent to the Folang Ji people, it can be explained that they are located in the inland Quanzhou, and they are dealing with threats from ethnic minorities in the mountainous areas. The news is relatively closed and unaware of it. However, Yongning Acropolis is on the south bank of Quanzhou Bay, and the five thousand household offices and three inspection departments are also in the coastal areas, but the Folang Ji people's warships landed on the coast, burning, killing, looting, and saying that the Folang Ji people did not bribe Cai Lin, Chen Xi would not believe it if Chen Xi was beaten to death.

Zhang Lian and Cai Lin were in a mess when it came to the Folang Jiren matter.

Chen Xidao: "If Cai Zhenshou does have money in his family that does not match his salary, then the official may really have to check it out carefully. I think Your Majesty will be interested in this."

Cai Lin first shrank his head instinctively, but he soon realized that Chen Xi was just a young boy and had no qualifications to check him. He immediately said angrily: "Okay, Chen Xi, our family will take a look here today. What certificates do you have to prove that the prefect Zhang is guilty? If not, you can't think of a step out of Quanzhou Prefecture."

Chen Xi smiled faintly: "This is the jurisdiction of Quanzhou Guard. Can the Shou Cai Zhenshou be so excited?"

"You are in Quanzhou Wei territory, so I naturally don't care about you, but as long as you leave Luojiang, someone will intercept you outside. If you don't believe it, you can go out and try it!"

Chen Xi can basically understand that Zhang Lian and his accomplices were eager to jump over the wall and were about to fight him to the end. Cai Lin, as the eunuch in charge, made such a threat, so he had to take the initiative to make the best.

Chen Xi shouted: "Come, take down these people who are unscrupulous!"

If those officers and soldiers were ordered by Wang He to follow Chen Xi to do things, they were not polite to the people at the prefecture and county levels, but they were not so bold when facing Cai Lin.

Cai Lin is the eunuch in Yongning Weicheng. Although he and Quanzhou Guards are not in charge, the eunuch in charge are essentially considered imperial envoys and belong to the military command system of the Ming Dynasty. In theory, Cai Lin is their "boss".

Cai Lin was furious: "I'm against you. Do you dare to let someone take our family? Do you know what our family is? It's great if you think you are an imperial envoy. Our family is the emperor's imperial order to guard Yongning Guard, representing the dignity of the Tian family. Our family wants to see who dares to be rude to our family!"

The people of Quanzhou Guards dare not treat Cai Lin, but even if the Yu Niang beside Chen Xi, she would have to go on the road. She felt that she had to take Chen Xi in, which made her uncontrollable now. Not to mention the two levels of Quanzhou Prefecture and County, even the eunuchs in Yongning Guards would offend them.

If Cai Lin is not taken down, he will be attacked by him. Neither she nor Chen Xi can leave the territory of Quanzhou Prefecture.

"Oh, you little white-faced... you have the strength to let go of our house and let go of our house... Have you heard?"

Cai Lin was easily subdued by Yu Niang. His feminine face was twisted and deformed due to a little pain, and he was almost crying.

Yu Niang knew that the pirate ship was in a hurry, so she took the person and asked Chen Xi for instructions: "I wonder what the imperial envoy is going to deal with this person?"

"No."

Chen Xi was about to speak, but he heard the voice coming. It turned out that Wang He, the commander of Quanzhou Guard, hurried into the lobby. He heard that Cai Lin had come to the Quanzhou Guard Office and rushed back from the capital to receive him. He happened to see Chen Xi's people taking Cai Lin down.

Wang He hurriedly said, "Is there any misunderstanding between the imperial envoy and Cai Zhenshou?"

"Misunderstanding? He is a sixth-grade right middle Yun... who dares to take our family and piss off our family to death. What are the commander Wang waiting for? Let him let go? This little white face is so strong that he kicks his legs, and his thin arm looks like a woman, but he has the strength." Cai Lin said as he looked at Yu Niang, and his eyes were no longer obsessed, adding a little fear.

Even Wang He came to talk about his love, and Chen Xi had to give up. It was not easy for him to find evidence of Zhang Lian's corruption and abuse of power, and it was not suitable to cause trouble for Cai Lin.

All the eunuchs in this era had two special missions: one was to inform the local situation at any time as the court, and the other was to purchase local tributes for the royal family, thinking that slaves were "filial to their masters". In this way, these eunuchs often rely on their privileges to weave a huge network of relationships.

Especially Cai Lin, Yongning Wei, who is in charge of one of the three major guards in the country, has a much greater relationship between the people and the use of the people he can mobilize, than Quanzhou Wei. Although Wang He dared to capture people from the two-level yamen at Quanzhou Prefecture and County, he did not dare to offend Cai Lin.

If Cai Lin really has bad intentions, Chen Xi really can't go back to the capital.

Chen Xi waved his hand and told Yu Niang to let go of her hand. Then he said, "Cai Zhenshou, I dare to ask, if there is evidence below that Prophet Zhang is corrupt and abused the law, what do you think?"

"Hehe, you are the imperial envoy. Even if our family is not tactful, we know what sin is worth. If there is evidence, we will naturally let you take others. Not only will our family not make things difficult for you, but we will also respectfully kowtow to apologize to you."

Cai Lin had confidence on his face. He knew that Chen Xi had interrogated people from Quanzhou Prefecture and Jinjiang County today, and knew clearly that Chen Xi wanted to obtain "personal evidence" from officials at the two-level yamen. Zhang Lian took the initiative to confess that the dirty silver was physical evidence, so the case could basically be confirmed.

Cai Lin thought to himself: "Your plan to do your best is quite loud, but since I'm here and I'm accompanying you to trial the case in court. Whoever dares to talk nonsense will not want to live."

Chen Xidao: "Okay, I will find evidence for you now. Commander Wang, please take care of Cai Zhenshou. You must not let him have any trouble in the Quanzhou Guard territory, so as not to rely on me."

Cai Lin thought Chen Xi was at the end of his strength at this time, his face was full of disdain, and waved his hand: "Commander Wang, you have to go out to spread our words. Our family is now staying at the Quanzhou Guard Office. Before our orders, Lord Shen and his people would not want to step out of the Quanzhou Prefecture territory!"

Wang He and Cai Lin are at most "co-workers", but now Cai Lin speaks as if he is the eunuch of Quanzhou Guard, and is like issuing orders.

Cai Lin wanted to stay, and Wang He wanted to send someone to settle down there. Cai Lin regained his interest in Yu Niang who had just been harsh on him. His eyes kept looking at Yu Niang. The resentment and fear just now also turned into appreciation: "Why do you have to follow the person surnamed Chen? Why should you follow our family and keep it so that you can enjoy it and drink it spicy!"

Perhaps Yu Niang didn't realize that she was actually attracted by an old eunuch, so she didn't even bother to reply, so she stood directly behind Chen Xi. This made Cai Lin glar at Chen Xi in anger, as if Chen Xi had snatched his sweetheart.

Cai Lin went to the government office to rest with the officers and soldiers. After all, he rushed over from Yongning Acropolis. The road was bumpy, and his weak body after castration could not bear it at all.

As soon as the person left, Wang He said, "It is better for the imperial envoy to provoke Cai's guards."

Chen Xi sighed: "Actually, why do you want to commit a crime in the middle-aged official? It's just that Cai Zhenshou took the initiative to find trouble. He can only ask Commander Wang to keep an eye on him within one or two days and not let him interfere."

Wang He nodded: "I understand."
