Jinyiwei work report

Seeing Xie Zhongyu who opened the door, the scholar scrambled to him, hugged his thigh and cried, "Master Daoist, help me, I really can't take it anymore."

Xie Zhongyu hurriedly said, "Speak up if you have something to say, don't act like this."

Liao Zhongfang heard the movement, came to the door, saw the scholar, and couldn't help but startled, "It's you."

"Taoist! It's me." The scholar said excitedly to Liao Zhongfang, "It's really great that you're back."

"What's going on?" Xie Zhongyu asked his senior in puzzlement.

"When I passed by this town a few days ago, I helped a family with a small favor. When I was leaving, the hostess of this family came to another person, and she insisted that I help him get rid of evil spirits. At that time, I had already wasted a lot of time, and was anxious to find you, so I promised to wait for me to come back and help him see, I originally planned to come to him after dinner, but unexpectedly he came." Liao Zhongfang helped the scholar up, "Since you're here, come in quickly, and I'll take a look for you."

The scholar stood up, wiped his tears and said: "I look forward to your return every day, and I hired someone to watch at the entrance of the town. Today, this person came to tell me that you have entered the inn, so I hurried over and asked at the counter. You live on the second floor, and I'll come up right away."

As soon as he finished speaking, he scratched his cheek with his fingers uncontrollably and said, "No shame, no shame, a big man is crying."

"..." Xie Zhongyu had goosebumps all over his body.

Liao Zhongfang said: "Come in quickly, I'll take a look for you." After saying that, he led the scholar into the house.

The room was small, and Liao Zhongfang wanted to exorcise others, and Xie Zhongyu was thinking about Song Yingbai, so he didn't want to stay in the house anymore, so he took Dandan out and knocked on Song Yingbai's door, "Let's go buy some dried fruit for Dandan."

What Li Zhen said just now was interrupted by the scholar, so it was useless. Just as he was about to repeat it again to draw closer, Xie Zhongyu knocked on the door again. He thought to himself, you all have to make trouble, right? !

Song Yingbai opened the door and said to Li Zhen: "Xie Zhongyu is going to buy some hazelnuts for Dandan, are you going? Just take a stroll."

Li Zhen said: "Xie Zhongyu, why don't you help senior brother exorcise evil spirits, and go shopping at this time."

"He's fine by himself, but I'm in the way."

As soon as Xie Zhongyu finished speaking, Liao Zhongfang opened the door and called him, "It's great that you didn't leave, come and help!"

Xie Zhongyu grinned, and walked back reluctantly. As soon as he entered the room, he saw the scholar kneeling on the ground with beads of sweat on his forehead, "Master Daoist, what the hell is this on me? I'm really going to be driven crazy by it." Yes, about a month ago, I would feel ashamed of myself for no reason. Sometimes I would eat with other people, and I would suddenly say, "No shame, no shame, I eat like a pig." What's worse is going to the toilet , I would say: 'No shame, no shame, I will stare at others secretly.' Just because of this sentence, I was almost beaten by someone. It is also when I settle accounts, 'No shame, no shame, I want to steal money from my boss ', anyway, when there are people, I will say whatever can cause trouble for myself."

Xie Zhongyu said: "It's not that you are insane, you can't help but speak out your true thoughts."

"Absolutely not. I'm not sick, really!" The scholar said, "My surname is Shen, but I'm just a scholar. I swear by my fame, there have been no epidemics or madness in the generations of my family."

Liao Zhongfang said: "Just look at it." He asked Xie Zhongyu to light the candle, and took out the copper coin and sword talisman for him to use.

Liao Zhongfang asked Shen Xiucai to stay where he was, then cast a spell around him with a copper coin sword, burned a talisman and threw it into the air, as the talisman slowly descended, a black-clothed boy gradually emerged behind Shen Xiucai.

He lay on Shen Xiucai's back, realized that Liao Zhongfang and others had seen him, immediately showed a ferocious expression, and glared at them fiercely, "It has nothing to do with you stinky Taoist priests, don't meddle in other people's business."

Xie Zhongyu was in a bad mood, he took out a small mahogany sword from his sleeve and threw it at him, it stabbed him in the chest, causing him to fall off Shen Xiucai's back with a groan of pain.

Xie Zhongyu said to Liao Zhongfang dissatisfied: "He is so easy to deal with, you have to ask me to come back to help, just to watch me."

Liao Zhongfang didn't refute, but said to the man in black: "Who are you, why did you want to kill Shen Xiucai?"

The man in black's face was pale, he snorted and said with a smile: "Are you going to tell me if you ask me?!"

"..." Xie Zhongyu twirled his fingers unceremoniously, causing the mahogany sword to circle around his heart, and the pain caused him to beg for mercy, "Master Dao, please be merciful, let me say, I say it's okay."

"Don't eat a toast and eat a fine drink."

Shen Xiucai couldn't see or hear the black-clothed boy, but hearing the tone of the two Taoist priests, it seemed that the evil spirit had been taken off him, and he couldn't help being extremely happy, as if recovering from a serious illness.

The black-clothed boy pointed at Shen Xiucai and scolded: "I was killed by this bastard in my previous life. I just let him feel like this. I was in the same private school as him in the previous life." Studying, one day, I was making out with other scholars in the house, and he saw me. The next day, in front of many classmates, he pointed my finger at my cheek and said, no shame, no shame, go with others dry road.

I was so ashamed that I hanged myself that night.In the end, he lived a good life. I was so angry that I looked for him everywhere, and finally told me to discover his reincarnation.Also let him taste the taste of being humiliated in public. "

Xie Zhongyu looked at Shen Xiucai, he was really ungrateful, someone else cares about your business with whomever you are intimate with, and you made jokes with your mouth, but in the end it was a life.

Liao Zhongfang said: "Men and women are complementary, Yin and Yang can be reconciled, your behavior is contrary to Yin and Yang, he should not have said about you in public in his previous life, but you did make mistakes first."

Xie Zhongyu didn't want to listen, "Don't steal or rob, the two of you are happy."

Liao Zhongfang frowned, as if thinking of something, "...forget it, I won't argue with you." Then she said to the boy in black: "You have tortured him almost a month ago, since we bumped into him today, it's God's fault." It's your good fortune to make arrangements to prevent you from stopping before you die." After finishing speaking, he took out a small bottle in his sleeve and said, "I'll take you in first, and I'll save you when I have time."

The boy in black said: "I was so humiliated by him in my previous life that I hanged myself, should I just let him go like this?!"

Liao Zhongfang said helplessly: "He just said a word. You are narrow-minded and overreacted. According to the degree of humiliation you have given him, he should have hanged himself many times. Enough is enough!" Pointing the vial at him, he recited the spell , into the bottle.

Shen Xiucai stood up at this time and moved her shoulders. "It seems to be really relaxed. My arms and mouth belong to me again. Thank you two priests. I will be the host and prepare some thin wine. Please do me a favor."

Liao Zhongfang said: "That's unnecessary, it's easy to do, I'm just staying here for a while, and I'm leaving soon."

He rejected Shen Xiucai's hospitality and sent him away.

As soon as Shen Xiucai left, Xie Zhongyu took the monkey to find Song Yingbai again, but he didn't open the door even after knocking, so he judged that he went shopping with Li Zhen and bought dried fruits for Dandan, and returned to the house depressed, sitting at the table Sulk.

Liao Zhongfang finally couldn't bear it any longer, and asked, "What's wrong with you? You said you were looking for someone, but they found him, why are you still acting so angry all day long?"

Xie Zhongyu frowned, "Is there?"

Liao Zhongfang clicked her tongue, "I said no, do you believe it?"

Xie Zhongyu sometimes felt that Song Yingbai was very kind to him, and sometimes felt that he was very ruthless to him. Of course, he was not angry with him.

He was angry with Li Zhen, so why should he stand between them.

Suddenly, he saw the small porcelain vase on the table, which contained the soul of the boy in black just now.

He rolled his eyes, got an idea, took the vial, and showed a mischievous smile towards the room where Li Zhen and Song Yingbai were.

Liao Zhongfang saw his "treacherous appearance", and took back the vial vigilantly, "I almost forgot to put it away."

Xie Zhongyu stood up all of a sudden, snatched the bottle back, "It's not too late for you to take it back after I use it up."

"What are you going to do?"

Xie Zhongyu didn't hide it either, "Li Zhen, don't worry, just to tease him, it won't cause any harm to him."

"Why did you punish him? By the way, you have been against him all the way. What kind of enmity do you have?"

"Don't worry about it, it won't affect our return to the capital anyway." Xie Zhongyu unplugged the vial and released the boy in black.

The boy was just put away, and then released again in a blink of an eye, he couldn't help but look at Xie Zhongyu and the others inexplicably.

Liao Zhongfang shook his head helplessly, he can't control Xie Zhongyu anymore, he can do whatever he likes, as long as he doesn't want to run away.

Xie Zhongyu looked at the boy in black with a smirk, "I have a task for you, wait for a while, after the two people in the room at the end of the corridor come back, you will attach yourself to the taller man, just like you did to Shen Xiucai." , grabbed his hand and shamed him."

The boy in black was reluctant, "I have no grudge against him."

Xie Zhongyu snorted and said, "If you don't punish him, you will have enmity with me. You can choose one."

Thinking of the pain of being stabbed by the mahogany sword just now, the boy in black was afraid of the power of the Taoist priest, so he reluctantly agreed, "Okay, but why should he be ashamed of him?"

Xie Zhongyu raised his head slightly, smiled and pondered for a while, "Just say, you are not ashamed, you like to watch other men change clothes!"

Liao Zhongfang was sipping tea, and couldn't help frowning when he heard this sentence. Suddenly, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, as if he understood something.

Why was the junior brother so unhappy all the way, why did he fight against Li Zhen everywhere, why did he justify the behavior of the man in black just now.

No, although they can marry wives and have children, it's not good to like to mix with men.

Xie Zhongyu was very happy, put Dandan in the palm of his hand, stretched out his fingers to play with it, "We must make Li Zhen ashamed."

-

Song Yingbai and Li Zhen strolled around the biggest market in the town and bought some peanuts and hazelnuts, which were enough for Dandan to eat along the way.

After shopping around, I went to a bigger restaurant and asked for food and drinks. After finishing the meal and paying the bill, Song Yingbai stretched his waist, "Satisfied, go back and have a good sleep." Standing up, she picked up the food she bought for Dandan. Ration, patted, "It must be happy to see it."

Li Zhen smiled and said, "Actually, it's good for Dandan to raise him. Don't you think monkeys and dogs are quite suitable for each other?"

Song Yingbai smiled: "Don't let him hear your words, he should be angry."

"Where did he get so angry, who loves him so much, who is used to him." Li Zhen said lightly.

The two chatted while walking downstairs. When they were leaving the hotel gate, they met a group of people. There were five or six people. Song Yingbai and Li Zhen recognized the leader at a glance. This is not Pan Si Miss, it's just that she is wearing men's clothes now, but that look is definitely not wrong.

Fourth Miss Pan also recognized the two of them, and was startled for a moment. At this time, the cashier in the counter came out and said to him respectfully: "The Fourth Master is here."

Fourth Miss Pan raised her hand to signal the cashier not to speak, and said to Song Yingbai and the others, "Why are you still here?"

"It's not still there, but it's back. You tell your father that we still have something to do, so we won't bother you at the house." Li Zhen said: "You, on the other hand, seem to be doing well, and it seems that you have not been held accountable."

Miss Pan Si asked others to wait aside, and went to the private room on the first floor with Song Yingbai and Li Zhen, and said with a sneer, "Probably because I was lucky enough, after my wife was wiped out, he vomited blood and passed out on the spot , It's been almost three days, and I woke up once, but my sanity has completely collapsed, and I can't even speak a complete sentence. I don't think he can last long. The current business is taken care of by our brothers and sisters. I'm here to check the accounts Yes, I didn't expect to meet you."

Song Yingbai's heart skipped a beat, Madam disappeared?Pan Yuetai is seriously ill?It seemed that Li Zhen really had to send someone to replace him.

Li Zhen's complexion is not good, Pan Yuetai is too obsessed, this kind of person is actually not suitable to be a spy, if he knew that there was a wife in his family who was so clear, he would never have been sent here to work.

Fourth Miss Pan is most like her father. The business of the family is basically managed by her elder brother and younger brothers. She is the only daughter in the family who intervenes in the business.

Li Zhen sneered and said, "Although I don't know the specific situation, the sudden death of my wife may have something to do with your behavior that day."

"People don't kill themselves." Miss Pan Si snorted and said, "I took a gamble, but I won." After speaking, she suddenly took a step forward and wanted to put her lips in front of Song Yingbai's cheek.

Seeing her approaching, Song Yingbai immediately took a step back. At the same time, Li Zhen's hand was already between them, and he frowned, "What do you want to do?"

Fourth Miss Pan burst out laughing, "Okay, I'm sure, you guys are real, seeing how anxious you are, haha."

Song Yingbai thought to himself, is there something wrong with you?What is true or false, we are Jin Yiwei, you suddenly approached and didn't hit you directly, you are lucky.

Fourth Miss Pan raised her head and smiled, "Since that night, I've always suspected that I'm an ugly monster. Now I'm fine. I'm pretty sure that it's because you guys aren't interested in women, not because of me alone." They waved their hands, "There will be a period later."

When she walked into the counter and began to check the accounts, Song Yingbai and Li Zhen walked out of the hotel. After he got on the horse, he couldn't help but said: "She is so inaccurate in seeing people, can she do business with this vision?"

Li Zhen raised her eyebrows and didn't answer.I don't know if Song Yingbai is accurate or not, but he is quite accurate anyway.

"I have to hurry back to the capital and find someone to replace Pan Yuetai, at least explain the situation here before he dies." Li Zhen said with a solemn expression.

Song Yingbai nodded, "Okay! Let's hurry back."

When the two returned to the inn, it was already evening, Song Yingbai sent the dried fruit bought for Dandan to Xie Zhongyu, sat in their room for a while, peeled the peanuts and fed them to Dandan, suddenly remembered the phrase "dog If it matches well with monkeys, I can't help but lower my head and purse my lips and smile.

Although Xie Zhongyu didn't understand why, he also followed suit.

Liao Zhongfang looked at the two of them from the side, and fell into deep thought again, wait a minute, Zhongyu looked at Song Yingbai with gentle eyes, maybe...

"By the way, did you help that scholar exorcise evil spirits?"

"Well, it's a trivial matter. His old enemy has just been found, and he has already been sent away." Xie Zhongyu deliberately said that he had been sent away, so that Li Zhen would have an excuse for "being sick", and said that the evil spirit had returned. , "Don't look at it as an evil spirit, in fact, it is the true thoughts of others."

Liao Zhongfang couldn't understand Xie Zhongyu's "despicableness", so she cleared her throat vigorously, but Xie Zhongyu ignored him at all.

Song Yingbai saw that the time was almost up, so he took the initiative to leave, "We still have something to do when we return to the capital, and we have to hurry tomorrow without stopping."

Liao Zhongfang agreed very much, "Great, I also want to hurry up."

Xie Zhongyu got up to send the man out, and promised that he would wait until Song Yingbai was sent away, then opened the vial and let out the boy in black, "Follow the man who went out just now, but remember, it was another person who was playing tricks, don't make a mistake."

The boy in black said: "Don't worry, I won't make a mistake. It's another man in the same room, I know." After speaking, he followed Song Yingbai out the door.

Song Yingbai felt the chill behind him, and looked back, but of course he didn't see anything. He went back to his guest room and saw Li Zhen sitting at the table with his head bowed in thought, probably thinking about Pan Yuetai.

The boy in black followed Song Yingbai into the door, saw another man sitting at the table, and immediately rushed towards him, preparing his upper body, unexpectedly, the moment he approached the other man, he felt a murderous aura rushing towards him, scared him Not only did he fail to pounce, but he turned around and ran away.

Li Zhen stared in the direction of the boy in black. He seemed to feel a particularly disgusting aura just now, but he seemed to have left.

He didn't take it to heart anymore, and continued to discuss Pan Yuetai's matter with Song Yingbai.

The boy in black fled back to Xie Zhongyu's room as if he was dying, and without saying a word, he plunged back into the small porcelain bottle.

Xie Zhongyu looked into the vial with one eye, "Have you finished your work? Why are you back?"

"That man's aura is too strong to be provoked. He must have many lives in his hands." The black-clothed boy trembled.

Liao Zhongfang took the cork and plugged the bottle, "Okay, I said earlier that ghosts are afraid of evil people, so stop making trouble."

Xie Zhongyu thought disappointedly, really, if Li Zhen was an ordinary person, if he was told to lose face in front of Song Yingbai a few more times, he would be out.

Liao Zhongfang pretended to be casual and asked, "Can you tell me, why did you deal with Li Zhen?"

Xie Zhongyu was taken aback, "Anyway, it has nothing to do with you." He spread the quilt in front of the kang.

Liao Zhongfang thought for a while, then raised her eyebrows and said, "Indeed." Xie Zhongyu's favorite path has nothing to do with him, after all, his master can't control him, so what kind of mind does he care about.

-

After Song Yingbai and the others left the town, they hurried back to the capital, and bought a few more horses for transfer during the period, as long as they could rest.

Because of the rush, and the promise that Song Yingbai would not run on Xie Zhongyu again, and Xie Zhongyu had a Liao Zhongfang who was staring at him with a "knowledgeable smile" and couldn't make a fuss, so everyone got along fairly well along the way.

When he arrived in the capital, Liao Zhongfang graciously pushed his junior back to return to his command, while Li Zhen immediately canceled his leave and returned to the Jinyiwei Yamen to screen for someone who could replace Pan Yuetai.

Song Yingbai originally took half a year's leave, although it's only been less than two months now, but he couldn't stay idle. After a few days of rest, he returned to the yamen and continued to work. Clean up the backlog.

According to the situation seen in Hellwell, with the criminal in mind, it is much easier to find evidence.

However, there are also some cases that are not so easy to clear up, because the prisoner is caught, but the prisoner caught is wrong. If he wants to overturn the case, it means overturning the conclusions of the previous handlers, which is an offense.

Although Song Yingbai is not the kind of person who is unselfish and goes forward bravely in order to pursue the truth, but when he meets someone who can reverse the case, he still tries his best to reverse the case.

For example, a poor scholar picked up a doggerel written on paper on the road. Seeing that the content was very reactionary, he took the initiative to hand it over to the yamen, and then the yamen notified Jin Yiwei. It didn't say that he wrote it, but the detainment of the person was obviously intended to find the real prisoner and take him for a fool.

Song Yingbai saw in Hellwell that the person who wrote this doggerel was a businessman who came to Beijing to buy goods. Just let people go home for the New Year.

But he was locked in the prison, and he tried to mention him several times, but he hit a wall.

There was no way, so Song Yingbai asked Li Zhen to come out, write a note and stamp him, allowing him to mention someone.

As soon as Li Zhen heard his request, he wrote without thinking, "The governor of Beizhen has been reinstated, and the prison is afraid that he will die, afraid that he will make too many mistakes. During these days, it is easy not to let him go." People will interrogate the prisoner. But it doesn't matter, I'll write you a note."

Beizhen Fusi Zhenfu, although the rank is lower than that of Qianshi, he is also qualified to be a sage to the emperor, and directly governs the prison, so he has great power and is a key position.

Therefore, many forces want to assign this position to their own people. The current governor is called Pei Huaixuan, and he is the adopted son of Pei Neng, the eunuch of Bingbi, the supervisor of ceremonies in the palace.

Also as the adopted son of a eunuch, Pei Huaixuan is different from another famous adopted son Cao Xiaochuan, he is not a eunuch and can continue the incense.

There are three most powerful eunuchs in the palace: Eunuch Lv, the eunuch who holds the seal, Pei Neng, the eunuch who holds the pen, and Cao Xiang, the eunuch who supervises the Dongchang. The first two assist the emperor in handling state affairs, and the latter helps the emperor supervise the ministers. Each has its own functions and restricts each other.

Pei Neng has a lot of energy, knows how to be a man, and is very popular. He put his adopted son in the position of governor of Jinyiwei Beizhen Fusi. The commander of Jinyiwei did not object.

It's just that Pei Dong's health doesn't seem to be very good. He took more than a year's leave to recover from his illness. He heard that his health has recovered recently and he will be reinstated. This frightened the whole group of people so that their hairs stood on end.

Song Yingbai looked at Li Zhen writing, with his chin sticking out, and his upper body leaning on the table, "Is Pei Zhenfu scary?"

Li Zhen said: "It's not scary, it's all rumored by the outside world, I think he's pretty good."

Song Yingbai smiled wryly, "You think it's good, but it must be terrible."

-

"Ah——" The man let out a heart-piercing scream. When the last nail on his ten fingers was pulled out, his blind eyes kept rolling, and he almost passed out from the pain.

After the last piece of nail was thrown on the ground, the few people who were holding him let him go. He pointed his finger, and the bloody flesh was exposed in the air.

Pei Huaixuan, who was sitting at the top, said with a blank face: "What are you shouting for? They will grow again, but there are also some that won't grow." After speaking, he winked, and the attendants who stood aside took orders to take the man's body. Pressing his hand to the ground, he raised the knife and dropped it, cutting off the next little finger.

The man twitched in pain, passed out, was woken up by the cold water, and cried, "My finger, my finger..."

Pei Huaixuan said lightly: "You have more than 200 bones, this is just one of them, don't worry."

The man heard the implication, this is a chop that will last forever, and kept kowtowing to him, "My lord, my lord, please spare the little one."

"I have been looking for the location you calculated for more than a year. I checked all the teenagers who died in that place seven years ago, and I couldn't find anyone who fits. So, is it because you are not capable, or are you deliberately lying to me?"

"The little one really tried his best. The little one really counted the person you were looking for, and he is no longer alive. No matter how you ask the young one to count, the young one can't count on other results."

This blind man is well-known among the people, and he was nicknamed Sai Banxian. Although his eyes can't see real things, he can see things that need to be counted in the past and the future. The previous test asked him to count other things, and it was quite accurate. But he just failed to help him find someone.

But that's okay, at least he's still alive.

Pei Huaixuan sneered and said, "I tried my best? Well, since it's trash, it's useless to keep it." After speaking, he waved his hand, and the entourage stepped forward, grabbed the man and dragged him out.

"No—my lord—I can still count—give me another chance—" the man yelled, struggling to save his life, and said indiscriminately: "I saw it, I saw it, I saw it By the time you meet the man you are looking for, he is now a grown man."

After Pei Huaixuan sneered sarcastically twice, his smile grew stronger, and he told his attendants to stop temporarily, and came to the blind man, and said with a smile: "If nothing happens within a month, I will chop your old lady into meat sauce and call him You eat it spoon by spoon."

After finishing speaking, he passed by, walked forward, and left the side hall of his mansion.

One of the attendants followed up, "My lord, are you still going to Zhen Fusi today?"

Pei Huaixuan glanced at the height of the sun, "Go around."
