Chapter 52: Going to jail again?
No matter how smart and sophisticated Du Qianhu is, he can't imagine how a thief could break into the government office.
It's not like he hasn't passed Nanzhen Fusi before, but he didn't even look over there.
First of all, he didn't expect Zhao Sheng to be so courageous.
Secondly, it’s also some of Jin Yiwei’s ambiguities.
Du Qianhu belongs to Beizhen Fusi, and has the duties of direct escort, reconnaissance and arrest. Among the Jinyi Guards, Beizhen Fusi is the most famous.
Those who were angrily scolded by people in the world as "hawks and dogs" in the imperial court usually referred to Jin Yiwei who was born in Fusi, Beizhen.
But even Jin Yiwei, who acts so recklessly and rampantly, has his own fears.
That is Nanzhen Fusi.
Nanzhen Fusi is not as famous as Beizhen Fusi, but he is in charge of the punishment of this department.
In other words, if Jinyiwei commits a crime, he will usually end up with Nanzhen Fusi.
Du Qianhu came out this time just for He Qiansui's personal affairs. If the commotion was too big and he was targeted by Nanzhen Fusi, he would not be in trouble.
Therefore, when he passed by there, he did not dare to look back.
In this way, he missed out on the "house thief, thieves, bastards, and bastards" in his words.
Zhao Sheng, who was standing in front of Fusi Gate in Nanzhen at this moment, actually had no choice but to do so.
Although he had changed his appearance before coming to Nanzhen Fusi, he had a guilty conscience after all.
In front of him was the majestic government office, and behind him were the Jinyi Guards and the Jinwu Guards patrolling Yanjing, making him feel like he was being attacked from two sides.
If someone's flaws are discovered, there will be no way to escape.
Fortunately, Jinyiwei and Jinwuwei had gone far away. Although the official from Nanzhen Fusi who inspected the letter did not say anything, he did not reveal his identity.
"Are you really the little flag recommended in the recommendation letter?"
The official presented the letter to Zhao Sheng and said with a quizzical look on his face.
Jinyiwei's employment is said to be strict, but it is also very casual.
They are recruited from the Zhili Yamen, so the investigation is stricter.
However, due to the special official position of Jinyiwei, most of the manpower required needs to possess martial arts skills.
When Jinyiwei was first founded, because they couldn't recruit enough people, they even directly recruited people from the martial arts world.
Most martial arts warriors possess extraordinary skills and are decisive and ruthless in their attacks. They are very suitable to work in Jinyiwei.
People from the world of martial arts come to visit with their artists. If they can retire in good health, most of them will be enshrined as guests by the royal guards.
These guest officials returned home in fine clothes, and because they had offended too many people in the world, they naturally needed to win over their own connections.
At this time, they will write a letter of recommendation to the junior who likes it and ask him to take it to Jinyiwei to seek an official position.
In this way, a literati-like network of disciples and former officials was formed.
Since most of the recommended people have "clean qualifications", Jinyiwei does not refuse anyone who comes.
Such mutual benefit has become a hard-won tradition of Jinyiwei for many years.
It's just that although it was said before that all comers would be welcome, they would be carefully verified and searched.
In recent years, Jinyiwei has become more and more loose, and they basically don’t check their identity.
Those old-timers know the ropes and write letters very casually.
For example, in Zhao Sheng's letter, the only information written about Li Qingcong is: "This person is innocent, in the sixth level of bone forging, with a broad face and forehead, and a majestic air."
The official stared at Zhao Sheng's handsome face, but could not see anything majestic.
"And why do you have such a strong smell of blood on you?"
The official narrowed his eyes, looking rather unkind.
Zhao Sheng only had time to change his clothes, but there was no time to remove the bloody smell caused by the fighting.
Although he was shocked, his expression remained unchanged.
"Before coming down here, I killed a few thieves and took them to the Yamen to exchange for wine money."
After that, he secretly took out a few blood-stained silver ingots and handed them to the officials in front of him.
After staying in the palace for two years, Zhao Sheng had already developed the ability to lie without blushing.
"The weather is very cold, please buy hot wine to warm yourself up."
The official took it and immediately beamed.
"I don't dare to call you a master. From now on, if you are promoted to a small flag, you and I will be colleagues."
After that, he took Zhao Sheng's hand and walked into Nanzhen Fusi.
The inside of the Yamen is not big, but there is always a gloomy feeling, which makes Zhao Sheng feel like a light is on his back.
When they arrived at the record library, the official asked the clerk to register Zhao Sheng's identity, and then took him to find a Baihu who was responsible for the recruitment of civil servants.
Hundreds of households are writing furiously, with files stacked higher than their heads in front of them.
He took the letter of recommendation, glanced at it, glanced at Zhao Sheng, and then lowered his head to go to work.
"Sect members? If you have a sixth-level cultivation, you can go to Tiqi in the future. You will receive the Feiyu suit in a month. Go down."
The official bowed and led Zhao Sheng down, with envy on his face.
"Brother Li has been promoted to Xiaoqi at a young age, and he can go directly to Tiqi. I must take more care of my little brother in the future."
Zhao Sheng has heard of the reputation of Tiqi.
There are many Jinyi Guards, there are twelve in total, but not every Jinyi Guard has the power of reconnaissance, interrogation, torture, and arrest.
Only Tiqi has such power.
In layman's terms, they are the special agents in Jinyiwei.
Zhao Sheng guessed that the group of people he just killed should belong to the Tiqi of the Jin Yiwei.
"Why does it take a month to get clothes?"
Zhao Sheng asked in confusion.
The official sighed and explained.
"It's also my fault that those guys in Fusi, Beizhen, are not human beings and use their power for personal gain. Major crimes have occurred frequently in the womb in the past few days. The Holy One is furious and strictly investigates the five guards of the imperial army.
In this way, almost half of Fusi's colleagues in Beizhen were arrested. Because of Xu Ni's case, another group of people who were not strict in handling matters were arrested.
Nowadays, the imperial prison of Beizhen Fusi is almost full of people from Beizhen Fusi. Is this okay?
Therefore, the power of edicts and prisons is left to our Nanzhen Fu Division, but we don’t have enough manpower.
It just so happens that you are here to take up the post, and you may not know where you will be sent in the future, but at least you are innocent now, so I will send you to the imperial prison as a jailer first.
Don’t blame me, several people who came here before were like this, just get used to it.”
Zhao Sheng was speechless after hearing this and didn't know where to start.
After going round and round, why did you end up working as a jailer in a prison again?
This time it’s not the prison of the clan’s mansion, it’s the prison of the Jin Yiwei, but that’s okay.
……
Zaoyi Lane, Qizhai.
Du Qianhu stood in the courtyard, his face livid and ugly, his hand holding the handle of the knife so hard that his finger bones turned white.
Inside the house, there were noisy footsteps, as if someone was searching for something, and from time to time there was the sound of floor and wall tiles being pried open.
Only Du Qianhu stood there motionless, as if he was alone.
Qianhu, a Jinyi guard wearing Feiyu uniform, came up and comforted him: "Old Du, the matter is over, what we have to do now is to see how much loss we can recover."
"Old Li, I have eighteen people, all of whom are masters of the Bone Forging Realm, but now they are all dead! They are all dead!"
Du Qianhu gritted his teeth and his eyes were bloodshot.
When Li Qianhu heard this, he could only sigh.
He has a comradeship with Du Qianhu, and they even worked with him to investigate the Donghuamenfang City case a few days ago.
Unexpectedly, he was busy with other things today, and something like this happened to Du Qianhu.
Eighteen people from the Bone Forging Realm all died, but they didn’t die in official duties.
As the leader, Du Qianhu is afraid that he will be in big trouble.
Inside the house, Jin Yiwei walked out quickly, holding a package in his hand, which contained a divided medicine bag.
"Only these medicinal materials were found..."
Du Qianhu and Li Qianhu both looked back, their hearts trembling.
Donghuamen lost a warehouse that time, and now these are the only medicines left?
