Chapter 732 Inspection
Qian Yiai, who was demoted from the second uncle to his son-in-law, fought with Zhao Mengguan’s best friend at the Jinyiwei Yamen, haha, but he was very anxious about his job. It was already afternoon, and it was dark.
After greeting the managers of various Jinyiwei, Qian Yiai said to Zhao Mengguan: "My father-in-law, do you think about me..."
Zhao Mengguan was very comfortable when he said that his father-in-law called him. He took out his waist card and handed it to a thousand households beside him: "Third brother, you are in charge of the imperial prison, you can go there in person!"
The thousand-household called Lao San was Zhang Sanfeng, of course, not Zhang Sanfeng in Wudangshan in the late Yuan Dynasty and early Ming Dynasty. Zhang Lao San's father was a Jinyiwei Lishi in Dongguan, and he was a temporary worker who was not a worker. However, Lao Zhang was young and handsome, and was recruited by Zhao Mengguan's father as a son-in-law. Therefore, Zhang Sanfeng's eldest and second brothers were both surnamed Zhao, and only Zhang Sanfeng himself was named Zhang with the grace of Mr. Zhao. So Zhang Sanfeng was Zhao Mengguan's nephew.
As the only male member of the Zhang family, Zhang Sanfeng naturally succeeded his father as the Jinyiwei Lishi. Later, as his uncle Zhao Mengguan's status rose, he became the most powerful upper-middle-south household in the Nanzhen Fushi.
After hearing what his uncle said, Zhang Laosan quickly took over the waist card and took Qian Yiai to the Jinyiwei Zhaozhao Prison outside the North City.
Zhang Lao San is in his thirties, and is considered Miss Zhao's cousin. He is very curious about the son-in-law he found. In Zhang Lao San's mind, his uncle has always spoiled his cousin very much, so why did he promise his cousin to the guy in front of him as a concubine for no reason? You must know that my cousin is just fifteen years old. Although he is at the age of marriage, he does not have to get married.
Zhang Laosan looked at Qian Yiai and said, "Brother-in-law, how dare you ask the county magistrate of which county?" Zhang Laosan heard his uncle say that Qian Yiai was a county magistrate and should be a scholar, but his cousin was a little aggrieved to be a concubine for a seventh-rank sesame official. Zhang Laosan, as one of the fourteen thousand households of the Jinyiwei, looked down on ordinary county magistrates.
Qian Yiai smiled and said, "I have been in charge of Shangyuan County for four years under the emperor's order. I have really let His Majesty down the emperor's grace betrayal!"
Zhang Laosan was shocked when he heard Qian Yiai say this. Shangyuan County was one of the two counties attached to the capital, and it was nothing important. What shocked Zhang Laosan was that this small county magistrate was actually specially ordered by the emperor, so the relationship between this brother-in-law and the emperor must be different.
Zhang Laosan asked tentatively: "Brother-in-law, are you the emperor's special county magistrate? This honor is so great!"
"Haha, that's okay! The main sister of this official is the emperor's concubine, so the emperor is more concerned about this official!"
The Jinyiwei was the emperor's slave. When Zhang Laosan heard Qian Yiai say this, he immediately knew who the young county magistrate was in front of him. He must be the son of Mr. Qian Ge, the younger brother of Concubine Qian in the palace, and the child prodigy who passed the imperial examination at the age of fourteen, Qian Yiai.
The Qian family is a top-notch gentry in Nanzhili. Zhao Mengguan's daughter is not only a concubine, but even a girl who is a wife. After Zhang Laosan knew Qian Yiai's identity, he never dared to speak anymore and rushed to the imperial prison with Qian Yiai.
When he arrived outside the gate of the imperial prison, a strong man who was guarding the gate had already come in to report that Zhang Sanfeng, the chief officer of the Jinyiwei, had arrived.
The superiors in charge came to the imperial prison. The thousand households here quickly opened the middle door and welcomed the leaders to check the work. The officials who managed the imperial prison were also a thousand households, but his thousand households were far behind Zhang Sanfeng's fourteen thousand households. From the clothes, it can be seen that Zhang Sanfeng was wearing a flying fish suit given by the emperor, and the thousand households in front of him were only wearing the ordinary green and green romance uniforms of Ming military officers.
The Qianhu stepped forward and knelt down on one knee, shouting: "The Jinyi Prison guards the Qianhu Wang Dan, and you have met the Third Master!"
Zhang Sanfeng nodded and said from the horse: "Get up, today I will come to inspect the Jinyiwei Prison under the military order of the commander of Tongyiwei Zhao Mengguan, and take me around! This is the waist card of Tongzhi, you can check it!"
The Wang Qianhu quickly bowed and said, "How dare you be humble? Please come in and talk about it!"
The Jinyiwei Zhaojue was originally under the jurisdiction of the Beizhenfu Department. In order to reduce the rights in Qian Lide's hand, Emperor Zhu Hongsan transferred the Zhaojue to the Nanzhenfu Department after Zhao Meng came to power. Wang Dan was Wang Xian's younger brother, so Zhang Sanfeng did not dare to be careless and smiled and said, "Wang Qianhu, one code is one code, so it's better to check the waist card!"
When Wang Dan heard Zhang Sanfeng say this, he did not hesitate and quickly ordered someone to take out the photocopy and check the waist card of Lord Tongzhi.
After the inspection, Wang Dan smiled and said, "It's indeed Lord Tongzhi's waist card. Please come in!"
Zhang Sanfeng nodded and walked into the gate of the Jinyiwei Zhao Prison with Qian Yiai.
Wang Dan looked at the young man behind Zhang Sanfeng and asked, "San Master, who is this person?"
"Oh, this is the son-in-law of Lord Tongzhi. I heard that I came to inspect the imperial prison and wanted to come and see the new things. Wang Qianhu would not refuse?"
The Jinyiwei Zhaozhuo Prison is a major national location, so no irrelevant outsiders are allowed to come in to watch it. However, Zhang Sanfeng said that this young man was Zhao Mengguan's son-in-law and seemed to be very favored. Wang Dan thought about it and should not offend Zhao Mengguan for such a small matter.
"It is natural that there is no problem for Lord Tongzhi's guest to see this!" After Wang Dan said that, he brought more than a dozen low-level officials from the Imperial Prison to join Zhang Sanfeng to start the inspection.
Wang Dan took out the list of prisoners and asked, "San Master, where can I start?"
The imperial prison of the Jinyiwei is divided into three levels: heaven, earth and man. The Tianzi cell naturally detains the imperial ministers. If you don’t wear red robe, you can’t get in. The Dizi cell detains middle and low-level officials below the fourth rank. The herringbone cell is simple, and some people from the martial arts cell and reactionary corpses are detained.
Zhang Sanfeng flipped the list and said, "Look at the Tianzi Prison first! After all, there are important officials in the court here. If there is any mistake, I can't bear this responsibility!" What Zhang Sanfeng said is reasonable. The people who are detained here are all political prisoners. Although they look unlucky now, who knows that the emperor is happy that day. These unlucky ministers immediately turned over and became the chief minister. Therefore, the criminals in the Tianzi Prison are the strangest. As long as there is no emperor's personal order to punish them, they are usually locked in the prison cell and ignored them.
Half a month ago, the biggest position in the prime minister was Ma Jiyuan, but the emperor quickly released him. Now the detention of the Yongli court officials captured by the emperor in Yunnan and Guizhou. The most prominent here are the Yongli minister Qu Shisi and the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi Zhang Tongchang.
After the master and apprentice were taken to Nanjing in the fourth year of Shenwu, many of their disciples and former officials had visited them. Everyone meant to let them know the current affairs. After all, the general situation of Emperor Shenwu is now ready, so don’t make any useless resistance. However, the master and apprentice were very stubborn, and everyone who came to see them was scolded so much that even Qu Shisi’s teacher Qian Qianyi returned in disgrace, so no one cared about them over time.
Zhu Hongsan was pretty good to these two people, each with a separate cell and allowed their families to visit. Zhang Tongchang wouldn't say anything. His hometown is in Jiangling, Huguang, but Qu Shisi is a big family in Changshu, Suzhou. Although his family is not as rich as his teacher Qian Qianyi, he still has a small family property, so the two of them have not suffered much in prison in the past two years.
Zhu Hongsan couldn't help but write letters to these two people, so they knew a little about the current affairs of the court. At first, Qu Shisi thought that Emperor Yongli Zhu Youlang had more than 200,000 Western Army left, and he could still control Yunnan and Guizhou. But he didn't expect that Zhu Hongsan captured Guizhou in less than half a year and drove Emperor Yongli's twenty troops to Yunnan. Qu Shisi became even more depressed when he learned the news.
Today, the master and apprentice leaned against the wall and were discussing in detail. As soon as the prison door opened, a group of people came in and saw that they were officials of the Jinyiwei.
Qu Shisi was imprisoned for two years and had been numb. No matter who comes, he just keeps his eyes closed and says whatever you like. So today Qu Shisi also closes his eyes, no matter what people outside say.
These people came in and were Zhang Sanfeng and his party. Wang Dan took the roster and first came to cell No. 1 and said, "Third Master, the person who was detained here is Qu Shisi, the second assistant of the pseudo-Gui Dynasty court, Zhang Tongchang, the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi in the pseudo-Gui Dynasty court, where was the pseudo-Gui Dynasty court, where was the pseudo-Gui Dynasty court, where was the pseudo-Gui Dynasty court, and where was the cell No. 3 detained..."
After hearing this, Zhang Sanfeng nodded and asked, "How is it? What have they said these days?"
Wang Dan whispered: "Return to the third master, everyone else is easy to talk to. It's just that Qu Shisi and Zhang Tongchang are hard to talk to. Every time the court sends people to surrender, they are scolded by these two people, making no one visiting them for several months now!"
"Hmph! Don't worry about this kind of despicable person. As long as they don't let them commit suicide, let the big men in the court have a headache!"
After Zhang Sanfeng said that, he took a group of Jinyiwei officials to leave the Tianzi cell. The officials from the imperial prison all followed Shangguan and flattered him. No one paid attention to Qian Yiai who followed the last one, so Qian Yiai deliberately slowed down and stayed in the Tianzi cell. Of course, there was a prisoner in the Tianzi cell, but everyone saw this young man and Shangguan. As for why he walked to the end, no one dared to care.
Qian Yiai saw the Jinyiwei walk out of the boss, and the prisoners in the cell went out to lick their butts. Now only he and a group of prisoners are left in the Tianzi cell.
Qian Yiai quickly walked to the door of cell No. 2, looked inside, and there was a unkempt person sitting against the wall, with his hair and beard sticking together, and he couldn't tell who it was.
Qian Yiai heard that Zhang Tongchang was imprisoned outside the door, so she stepped forward and asked in a low voice: "Is Zhang Bishan inside?"
After a long time, the person inside said slowly: "It's Zhang, who are you?"
Qian Yiai heard the man speak, and it turned out that this was Zhang Tongchang. Qian Yiai said happily: "Brother Bishan, my younger brother Qian Yiai, Qian Qianyi is his father!"
