The reason why Zhao Junchen wanted to bring Qin Wei to him was not a sudden thought, but a deliberate decision.
First of all, this Qin Wei is old enough. Judging from his age and demeanor, he has been in Jinyiwei Yamen for many years, and he must be familiar with all the unspoken and explicit rules of factory guards. Now that the West Factory is being rebuilt, Zhao Junchen is lacking such a close confidant who is familiar with the factory's security situation. With him by his side, it will be more convenient for Zhao Junchen to control the West Factory in the future.
Secondly, this Qin Wei's position is not high, and now he is just a junior high school captain in imperial robes. Obviously, no one would deliberately bribe such a person. Zhao Junchen took him to his side without having to worry about being someone else's spy. In the future, it would be easier to cultivate Qin Wei's loyalty to him through personal promotion and help in times of need.
In the end, it was because Qin Wei was not evil enough! Although he is in a big dyeing vat like Jin Yiwei, and he seems to rely on the majesty of Jin Yiwei to show off his power, but judging from his previous performances, he still has a pure heart in his heart. As long as such a person treats him well, he will never He will not betray easily, and Zhao Junchen can use it with confidence.
The only doubt is that he doesn't know how good Qin Wei's ability is, but compared with the benefits, it is still enough to make Zhao Junchen make up his mind.
………
When Zhao Junchen rode a carriage and left from the back gate of Jinyiwei Mansion, Qin Wei was already waiting at the door.
At this time, he had already taken off the round collar of the Imperial Guard and put on his normal clothes. Perhaps because the future was still unclear, Qin Wei's expression changed. Full of anxiety.
The carriage stopped in front of Qin Wei, and then Xu Qingyan opened the curtain and looked at Qin Wei with critical and scrutinizing eyes. Then he said in an impatient tone: "Your name is Qin Wei, right? Why are you still standing here? My master asked you to get in the car."
"oh oh!"
When Qin Wei heard what Xu Qingyan said, he was stunned for a moment, then quickly agreed, climbed into the carriage quickly, and then at Xu Qingyan's signal, entered the carriage and sat with Zhao Junchen and Xu Qingyan.
"I've met Mr. Zhao."
After entering the carriage. The space in the carriage was a little narrow, but Qin Wei didn't dare to sit down casually until Zhao Junchen said nothing. He just stood in front of Zhao Junchen with his body hunched over, his legs bent and his head hanging down, full of nervousness. He was tall and tall, matching his expression at this time. But it is even more cramped.
Zhao Junchen first looked Qin Wei up and down carefully. Then he nodded and smiled: "The carriage is small after all. Why are you standing like this? Sit down quickly."
Then he saw Qin Wei gently touching his butt to the seat, still lowering his head, not daring to look further.
Zhao Junchen couldn't help laughing when he saw Qin Wei like this, and asked: "Who am I? I guess you know it by now, right?"
After hearing Zhao Junchen's question, Qin Wei nodded quickly. He wanted to stand up and answer, but continued to sit at Zhao Junchen's signal. He replied cautiously: "I understand. Your Excellency, you are the current Secretary of the Ministry of Household Affairs and the General Manager of the Internal Transport Treasury, Mr. Zhao. You just ordered the envoy to personally summon Beizi, saying that he would follow you from now on."
Zhao Junchen nodded and asked in a broad voice: "The Jinyi Guards are so powerful. If I ask you to come here, you won't complain, right?"
Qin Wei hurriedly shook his head and finally dared to look up at Zhao Junchen and said: "How dare you think so, sir? Your Excellency, you are overly worried. Although Beizhi has served in the Jinyiwei Yamen for many years, he is now just a low-level school captain. What's more, he knows My lord, you are so powerful in the court, it is a blessing to be with you, my lord, in this humble position.”
Zhao Junchen smiled and said: "You do know how to speak, but what you said is not wrong. I didn't ask you to come from Jinyiwei just to make you a long-term follower, so you can be put to some important use. In this case, in the future You’ll understand, I won’t wrong you anyway.”
After a pause, Zhao Junchen continued: "I only look at two things when hiring people, one is loyalty, and the other is intention. As long as these two points are fulfilled, I will never treat them badly."
Qin Wei quickly promised: "From today on, I will be loyal to you and do my best to serve you. Please rest assured."
After some discussion, Zhao Junchen decided to learn more about Qin Wei, and then asked: "I think you are quite old, right?"
"My lord, I am now thirty-two years old."
"How long have you been staying at Jinyiwei Yamen?"
"It's been seven years."
"Oh?" Zhao Junchen asked again: "So, you are considered an old man in Jinyiwei Yamen, why are you just a mere school captain?"
Qin Wei's expression changed slightly, but he was a little silent.
On the other side, seeing that Qin Wei didn't answer, and Zhao Junchen hadn't said anything, Xu Qingyan frowned and said, "You answer whatever the Lord asks you. Is it possible that you don't want to answer?"
Xu Qingyan has been with Zhao Junchen for many years and is Zhao Junchen's most trusted confidant, so he is very picky about new senior followers like Qin Wei.
Especially when the two sides had a conflict not long ago.
Because of this, when Qin Wei heard Xu Qingyan's accusation, he couldn't help but panic. He didn't dare to hide anything anymore, and quickly replied: "Sir, my humble post is actually in the Jinyiwei Yamen. I was originally following the former governor Wei Huaiwei." , also held the position of a hundred households, but two years ago, the governor of Wei Town committed a crime, and his humble position was also implicated. Not only was he ostracized by his colleagues, but his position was demoted again and again because of some unfounded crimes, and the result was only two In a matter of years, he has become the lowest rank of Imperial Guardsman."
Speaking of this, Qin Wei couldn't help but smile bitterly, and continued: "Actually, if I hadn't followed you today, I'm afraid I would have been kicked out of the Jinyiwei Yamen in a short time."
After listening to Qin Wei's answer, Zhao Junchen understood what had happened before when Qin Wei was ridiculed by his colleagues.
After thinking for a while, Zhao Junchen seemed to have remembered something, and asked with interest, "The Wei Zhenfu envoy you mentioned was the former Nanzhen Fusi envoy?"
The Jinyiwei Yamen has numerous responsibilities and powers, but if we talk about the two most well-known departments, they are probably the North and South Town Fusi.
Among them, Beizhen Fusi specializes in imperial edicts and owns edicts. It can arrest, interrogate, execute, and execute officials on its own without even going through ordinary judicial institutions. Most of Jinyiwei's current reputation comes from this yamen.
In contrast, Nanzhen Fusi is like a military policeman, responsible for the legal and military discipline of the Jinyiwei staff.
Qin Wei looked sad and nodded in reply.
Zhao Junchen narrowed his eyes slightly and asked: "What crime did Lord Wei Huai commit? Why did he suddenly fall? Where is he now?"
After Qin Wei hesitated for a moment, he showed an indignant look and replied: "Returning to your Majesty, Mr. Wei Huai has always been an upright man, resourceful and rigorous. He is the most admired person in a humble position. How could he commit such an obvious crime?" Guilty? However, Nanzhen Fusi, the yamen in charge of military discipline and law, has always been the easiest to offend his colleagues, and Master Wei Huai is the most intolerant of criticism. When encountering problems, even if he asks for mercy, he will always deal with it correctly. In this way Come on, everyone in the Jinyi Guards, I don’t know how many people are resentful of Mr. Wei. Two years ago, he was dismissed from his post and imprisoned for interrogation on the charge of avenging private revenge and causing a large number of unjust, false and wrongful convictions."
Speaking of this, Qin Wei's expression was filled with anger and a little sadness, and he sighed: "Jin Yiwei's prison punishment method is the most famous. It's pitiful for a hero like Mr. Wei, but he didn't know how to endure it during that time." After a lot of torture, not to mention having my legs broken during the torture, it only lasted for more than ten days. I was actually driven crazy by those bastards, and I lost my mind. I was crazy all day long, talking about things in my mouth. Just saying 'I'm not guilty' is really pitiful."
"Oh?" Zhao Junchen asked: "So...this Master Wei is still alive?"
Qin Wei nodded, then gritted his teeth and said bitterly: "Master Wei was originally falsely accused. Those beasts couldn't catch the evidence. After Master Wei lost his mind, they released Master Wei. But after this For one thing, those beasts?a href='/711/4849420/'>.Purpose. They are so painful and so powerful!?br />
"Have you ever visited Mr. Wei these days?"
Qin Wei nodded repeatedly and replied: "Beizi has received a lot of favors from Lord Wei. Since Lord Wei was released from prison, Beizhi has often visited him. It is precisely because of this that Beizhi is ostracized by his colleagues around him."
Zhao Junchen also nodded. After thinking for a moment, he suddenly shouted out of the car: "Stop!"
Seeing Zhao Junchen behave like this, both Qin Wei and Xu Qingyan looked puzzled.
But Zhao Junchen said leisurely: "Qin Wei, since you have been deeply favored by Wei Huai over the years, and now that your position has changed, you should go and tell him. Although he has lost his mind now, your heart is still there. .”
Seeing that Qin Wei was still stunned, Zhao Junchen smiled and said: "Whatever you are doing, don't delay. You can go now and come to Zhao Mansion to find me afterwards."
………
Looking at Qin Wei's retreating figure, Xu Qingyan hesitantly asked Zhao Junchen: "Master, are you doubting Wei Huai..."
Zhao Junchen nodded, then shook his head, and said quietly: "It's just a suspicion. If that Wei Huai is really as heroic as Qin Wei said, how could he be in prison for just more than ten years?" He was tortured and went crazy that day? I'm afraid this was just Wei Huai's way of protecting himself. If he hadn't gone crazy at that time, I'm afraid he wouldn't have been able to walk out of the Jinyi Guard Prison alive. If that's really the case, with such forbearance and intelligence, this person is worthy of me Take it well.”
Xu Qingyan shrugged and said, "I'm afraid that Qin Wei's words are exaggerated, while that Wei Huai is simply weak-minded and weak-willed. He was really tortured to the point of going crazy."
Zhao Junchen looked casual and said with a smile: "There's nothing to lose, I'm just giving it a try."
