After the famous courtesan Qi Yaxiu finished talking about the story of the male monkey and the female dog, the Martyr Woman, he smiled, he smiled, and he also laughed.
As expected, Sanyang laughed.
She is well-deserved to be called a famous prostitute!
Just as he was smiling happily, his family members came to report in a hurry: "Master! The guards in uniform are here! Lots of them!"
For civil servants, Jinyiwei is synonymous with terror. It is the emperor's knife hanging above their heads. I don't know when or why, this knife fell.
Even cabinet ministers are no exception to the fear of Jin Yiwei.
Everyone's expressions changed drastically, thinking that coming to Yang Shiqi's house had nothing to do with them, so they all stood up and left.
Huanghuai Yang Pu was stopped by Jin Yiwei.
"You two can't leave." The one who spoke was the accompanying general flag.
Lin Linyou seemed to be more polite, and he cupped his hands to Yang Shiqi, who was standing next to them, and said: "Lin Linyou, the Fusi Secretary in Xiabei Town, hereby sends an edict to invite the two gentlemen to come to the Yamen for a few words."
Huang Huai looked at Yang Pu and calmed down: "Where is the driving ticket? Do you have a driving ticket?"
The accompanying commander said angrily: "Didn't you listen? Here's an order!"
Lin Linyou glared at him, and the commander lowered his head. This guy was so arrogant, Lin Linyou had long suspected that he was sent by Ji Gang to keep an eye on him.
However, he really couldn't get the driving ticket, Ji Gang didn't give it to him.
"The formalities are complete and the procedures are in compliance." Lin Linyou said sincerely to Yang Pu and Huang Huai.
"Who knows!" Yang Pu glanced at Yang Shiqi standing in the room and said in a loud voice.
Could it be that, in their minds, Ji Gang was so bold that he dared to falsely pass on the imperial edict?
"Take the two gentlemen and go down and wait." Lin Linyou said to the guards in uniform, "Be polite!"
After working together for so long, all the subordinates know Lin Linyou's temperament. If he is polite, if you say sternly, then he is really polite. If you put it lightly, it means asking them to secretly fix the prisoner's meal.
Yang Shiqi in the room nodded slightly to Yang Pu and Huang Huai, and Yang and Huang obediently followed Jin Yiwei away. The Jinyi guards were also very gentle and polite, only protecting the left and right, and did not push or push in any other way.
However, it will be hard to say when you enter the imperial prison...
After clearing the place, Yang Shiqi was the only one left in the room.
Lin Lin swam into the house, closed the door, and bowed his hands respectfully: "Mr. Ha!"
"My surname is Yang!" Yang Shiqi rolled his eyes at him.
Lin Linyou was stunned. Wasn't the person he called Mr. Yang just now? After reacting, I couldn't help laughing at first. It seemed that I was still a little nervous in front of the high official! I guess you were afraid of being suppressed by a small supervisor in the past, right?
"Mr. Yang, I'm really sorry for disturbing the family dinner. It's my duty as well." Lin Linyou said, "Sir, you should know why they were arrested."
Yang Shiqi said calmly: "You Jin Yiwei always do random things! But you ask me?"
Lin Linyou knew that Yang Shiqi was always cautious as an official and never talked about official matters when he returned home. Even close relatives were not allowed to hear about it, so he was even more cautious about Jin Yiwei.
"There is only one way to prevent the Jin Yiwei from misbehaving." Lin Linyou sat down at the lower table, facing Yang Shiqi, looking at the messy cups and plates on the table, all filled with good wine and good food!
It's a pity that it took a long time for some people to eat, especially poor Yang Pu and Huang Huai, who had been imprisoned in the imperial prison for ten years...
"What can we do?" Yang Shiqi asked.
"Remove Ji Gang's position as the Commander of the Imperial Guards," Lin Linyou said.
Yang Shiqi was stunned and looked at Lin Linyou carefully.
"Actually, I have something to ask of you." Lin Linyou silently poured himself a glass of wine.
"you say."
"Before your Majesty enters the capital, who are the messengers who will be notified in advance?" Lin Linyou picked up the wine glass and looked at Yang Shiqi intently.
…
After Lin Lin walked away, Yang Shiqi hurriedly entered the palace to see the emperor.
When Zhu Di asked about the prince's delay in greeting him, Yang Shiqishi immediately said: "The prince is as filial as before. Anyone who is late will be punished by the officials."
However, other important ministers still continued to impeach Yang Shiqi and should not be forgiven alone, so Zhu Di ordered him to be imprisoned by the Jinyi Guards.
Lin Linyou sent Yang Shiqi to the imperial prison and chose a slightly clean separate cell for him, right next to Yang Pu in Huanghuai, so the three of them would not be too lonely.
"Mr. Yang, you will be released soon, so don't be too sad." Lin Linyou quietly said to Yang Shiqi, then turned to Huanghuai and Yang Pu: "If you two gentlemen have any needs, please tell me together. As long as I can do it, I will do it."
"Book." Yang Pu, who was sitting in the corner with his eyes closed and concentrating, without even saying hello to Yang Shiqi when he came in, suddenly said.
"What book does Mr. Yang want to read?" Lin Lin walked to Yang Pulao's door and asked.
"The Legend of the Fierce Lady!"
Lin Linyou laughed dumbly and turned to Huang Huai: "Mr. Huang?"
Huang Huai shook his head silently.
Just as he was about to leave, Yang Shiqi suddenly said: "Wait a minute."
Lin Linyou hurriedly came over.
"I heard that Minister Xu of the Ministry of Finance talked about you." Yang Shiqi said, "I hope I didn't misjudge the person."
"No." Lin Linyou said firmly.
"Shilang Xu knows the question you asked me a few days ago." Yang Shiqi said, "If we encounter any unexpected situation, we can ask Jin Zhong, the Minister of War! We can only entrust him with everything in the court!"
"Don't worry!" Lin Linyou nodded gratefully, got up and walked out...
It was Lin Linyou who single-handedly arranged the arrest of Yang Shiqi and sent him to prison. Ji Gang was very satisfied with this and felt that Lin Linyou had surrendered. However, a counselor beside him did not think so...
The counselor's name was Jia Quan. He came to Beijing at some unknown time. At first he made a living by setting up a street stall and telling fortunes, but he only told the fortunes for high officials in the court, not ordinary people. Claims to be a descendant of Jia Xu, the poisonous scholar of the Eastern Han Dynasty.
Originally, Jia Quan wanted to make a name for himself in the palace and hope to be reused by Emperor Zhu Di. Unexpectedly, Ji Gang took the opportunity to take him into the palace first.
Several major events that have happened in the world recently have been predicted by Jia Quan. Ji Gang is naturally convinced of his abilities, but whenever he asks him to tell his fortune, Jia Quan just smiles and shakes his head, mysterious and mysterious. He also said solemnly: "Your Excellency is a general in the sky, blessing me with a great Ming Dynasty. The time has not come yet, and the secret of heaven must not be leaked lightly."
Although his words were always half-literate and his official language was really distorted, Ji Gang took advantage of what he heard and didn't think much about it.
Recently, Jia Quan often warned Ji Gang: "My lord, remember, do not shoot willows in the palace on Dragon Boat Festival. If you do, do not talk to Pang Ying! Never!"
That day, when he saw Ji Gang holding a blueprint and ordering a craftsman to build it, Jia Quan was shocked and asked Ji Gang where the blueprint came from.
Ji Gang said it was a gift for Zhang Fu.
"Zhang Fu?" Jia Quan asked suspiciously, "Is that the British Duke Zhang Fu?"
Ji Gang said: "To be precise, they are for our Jin Yiwei Qianhu Zhang Bi and his sworn brother Lin Linyou. What do you want to preach, sir?"
"Inappropriate, inappropriate!" Jia Quan shook his head repeatedly.
"What's wrong?" Ji Gang thought that what he said was wrong, that he meant that he condescended to make gifts for his servants.
"This is...this is the Nine Stars Continuous Pearl!" Jia Quan blurted out.
"But there are sixteen stars here." Ji Gang looked at the drawing and said.
"The other seven..." Jia Quan thought for a while and said, "The other seven are the Big Dipper! Nine stars take away the light, seven political stars are dark, and the country declines! This is a game! They are planning to rebel! This Isn’t this a trap for you, my lord?”
Ji Gang laughed and didn't take it seriously.
However, after the sixteen billiard balls were made, all the craftsmen who made them were silenced.
Lin Linyou had no idea that his usual source of happiness, the sixteen billiard balls, were covered in blood.
Little did he know that it was these sixteen billiard balls that would cause death!
"Lin Linyou must not be allowed to stay!" Jia Quan said gloomily.
