Fusi, Jinyiwei North Town.

A young eunuch stood in the lobby of Jinyiwei holding an edict and shouted loudly: "Commander of Jinyiwei sent Luo Yangxing to receive the edict from the East Palace!"

Luo Yangxing quickly led a group of Jinyiwei officials out and knelt down to listen to the order.

"The Crown Prince issued an order to order Luo Yangxing, the commander of the Jinyi Guards, to seize the house of Liu Rong, the eunuch in charge of the war bureau, and Ma Xianxiang, the eunuch of the armory."

"I humbly accept His Highness's orders!"

Suddenly receiving the decree from the East Palace, Luo Yangxing was confused, but he did not dare to neglect it. He asked in a low voice: "May I ask my father-in-law, does your Majesty have any decree?"

After all, the Bingzhan Bureau is also one of the twenty-four yamen, so it would be a big deal to touch them.

The eunuch who came to deliver the order was none other than Wu Zhong. He looked at Luo Yangxing and said with a smile, "Why, Mr. Luo, can His Highness the Crown Prince still not be able to command you?"

"Don't dare." Luo Yangxing glanced at Wu Zhong, feeling a little unhappy, and secretly cursed the bastard.

But thinking about it carefully, if the East Palace did not have His Majesty's authorization, how could it dare to easily launch an army? Thinking of this, he felt a little relieved.

"Master Li, come with me to the War Bureau!" Luo Yangxing looked at Li Tingbiao. He was still a little worried and planned to let Li Tingbiao come with him.

Originally, a rich man like this who ransacked the house didn't want to drag Li Tingbiao, but because Li Tingbiao was the prince's man, he had no choice but to drag him along to perform meritorious service.

Li Tingbiao didn't make excuses. This was an order from His Highness the Crown Prince. His Highness must be doing something big, so he naturally had to keep an eye on it.

Luo Yangxing quickly summoned several of his close associates, Qianhu of Jinyiwei, to the official hall to discuss matters.

Not long after, hundreds of brocade guards wearing green brocade clothes and embroidered spring knives hanging on their waists filed out of the Fusi Yamen in Beizhen.

With so many people in uniform and uniforms coming out, one could tell at a glance that some high-ranking official was going to be in trouble.

"I don't know which official offended the emperor, and he will suffer disaster now!"

"Isn't that right? The Jin Yiwei hasn't been out like this in many years."

Near the Zhenfusi Yamen, many passers-by gathered together and talked about it. When they saw Luo Yangxing coming with a group of royal guards, they quickly dispersed.

Although Jinyiwei has not been as powerful as before in recent years, he still has a illustrious reputation for more than 200 years, which still makes many people fearful, fearing that they will be imprisoned and tortured if they talk in private.

Of course, they were overthinking it. The imperial prison was not just for anyone who wanted to enter. Those without any identity could only be thrown into the prison of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division and beaten.

Not long after, Luo Yangxing led hundreds of Jinyi guards to surround the military camp and sent people in to arrest them.

After guarding for a long time, the Jinyi guards who went in came out and told Luo Yangxing that the eunuch Liu Rong and the eunuch Ma Xianxiang of the Military War Bureau were not inside and should be at home.

Luo Yangxing sighed and said angrily: "Damn it, all this trip was in vain. We divided into two teams and went to the homes of Liu Rong and Ma Xianxiang respectively to tie them up!"

Li Tingbiao secretly cursed an idiot in his heart and just stood aside without saying anything.

Luo Yangxing thought about it for a while, and finally decided to let Li Tingbiao lead a group of people to Ma Xianxiang's house, while he led a group of people to raid Liu Rong's house and work separately.

Li Tingbiao didn't know his little thoughts yet. Wasn't he just worried that he would stare at him during the house raid and affect his fortune?

With secret contempt in his heart, Li Tingbiao led his people to Ma Xianxiang's house without saying a word.

Ma's Mansion occupies a very large area and is the residence of Ma Xianxiang, the eunuch of the Military War Bureau. A powerful eunuch in the Ming Dynasty was no different from an official. He had his own mansion outside the palace, was respectfully called "Master", and even had a wife.

Live like a human being.

Although the eunuchs of the Ming Dynasty cannot be called men, they are still considered half men, because before and including the Ming Dynasty, all eunuchs only had their balls cut off, but the cannons were not removed. Only the eunuchs of the Qing Dynasty were beheaded with one sword.

flat.

For example, during the Jingtai period, a eunuch named Wei would hire prostitutes to accompany him at banquets. He also took advantage of his power to marry an officer's wife and forcibly married the officer's daughter as a concubine.

Marrying wives, taking concubines, and having sex with each other is the treatment given to powerful high-end eunuchs. What about those low-status handyman eunuchs? What should we do? Of course they go to prostitutes outside the palace.

Li Tingbiao ordered people to surround Ma Mansion and had people come forward and break down the door.

"Jin Yiwei is doing something, please open the door quickly, otherwise we will be bombarded!"

A member of the Jinyi Guard Qianhu held a fist as big as a casserole, knocked hard on the door of Ma Mansion, and shouted loudly.

Many people in Ma's house heard the knock on the door. Although they were confused, they did not dare to open the door.

Ma Xianxiang was sipping tea and playing with the birds in the yard. When he saw the housekeeper coming to report in a panic, he frowned: "What's going on, the Jin Yiwei actually came to arrest me? Did you hear something wrong with your ears?"

"Master, it's true, I saw the Feiyu suit through the crack in the door..."

"Open the door and let them in." Ma Xianxiang said calmly. Although he didn't know what was going on, if the Jin Yiwei really came to arrest him, closing the door tightly would be useless.

Seeing the door of Ma's Mansion open, a group of royal guards rushed into Ma's Mansion, pushed aside the housekeeper and several servants, and rushed straight into the lobby.

Ma Xianxiang was already sitting in the lobby. He looked at Li Tingbiao who walked in and said, "Why did you come to arrest us?"

Li Tingbiao glanced at him and said calmly: "We Jinyiwei never ask the reason when doing things, we only ask the time, place and who."

If Zhu Cixi were here, he would definitely roll his eyes, isn't this guy just a courier?

Ma Xianxiang was startled and blurted out: "Is this your Majesty's will?"

Li Tingbiao said: "It's an order from the East Palace."

"Ha ha ha ha……"

Ma Xianxiang burst into a sinister laugh, folded his sleeves with his hands, narrowed his eyes into a slit, and said with a smile: "Order of the East Palace? The Bingzhan Bureau is also one of the eight bureaus of the Twenty-Four Yamen, and there is no driving post. Prince

Why should Your Highness arrest me?"

Jia Tie represents the official document issued by the Criminal Division to arrest a person in accordance with the emperor's will. Starting from the Zhengtong period, Dongchang and Jinyiwei required Jia Tie before arresting people.

Li Tingbiao frowned slightly and said coldly: "Stop talking nonsense, take him away and search the house!"

A eunuch jumped out from the side, pointed at Li Tingbiao and said angrily: "How brave! How dare you arrest Eunuch Ma without a driving license..."

Before he finished speaking, he felt a coldness in his throat and could no longer speak. Then he fell down suddenly, twitched a few times and then crossed his legs.

When Li Tingbiao jumped out to speak, he instantly drew his knife and slashed his throat, killing him.

Ma Xianxiang couldn't help but took a few steps back in shock, trembling with fear, and said: "You...you...how dare?"

"What age have you been, and you still need to drive?" Li Tingbiao smiled and wiped the blood on the tip of the knife. Suddenly his smile sank and he shouted coldly: "Tie him up and drag him away!"

Seven or eight wolf-like Jin Yiwei rushed in and pushed Ma Xianxiang to the ground. Then someone tied them up with ropes and dragged them away.

After searching the house for two hours, Li Tingbiao registered everything in Ma Xianxiang's house.
