Several knights and guards wearing bright clothes and angry horses appeared on the official road of Datong.
Pedestrians on the road saw them and gave way one after another, while some businessmen recognized the identity of these people as Jin Yiwei and hid from a distance.
"Sir, should we go to Datong Fucheng to meet the governor of Datong?" a horse-faced middle-aged man in the Jinyi Guards asked.
I saw a square-faced Jin Yiwei in front of this person turned around and said: "The documents received by the imperial court were sent by the Inspector of Datong. Let's go to Yanghewei to meet this Lord Inspector. Come on!"
He dismounted his horse and galloped down the official road.
Several other Jin Yiwei followed the opponent on horseback, galloping all the way.
There was a long queue outside the gate of Yanghe Acropolis, with people carrying burdens or pushing wheelbarrows preparing to enter the city.
Several Yanghewei soldiers collected entry fees from the people entering the city.
"Get out of the way, get out of the way! Don't block the road!"
A sharp shout came from the official road outside the city gate, along with the sound of horse hooves.
When the people outside the city gate saw the horses galloping towards them, they all hid on the roadside to avoid the fast riders coming from the direction of the official road.
People who can travel on horseback are either horse bandits outside the city, people from official families, or people with status. No matter what kind of people they are, ordinary people cannot provoke them. Even the soldiers in front of the city gate who collect the city fee Don't dare to offend.
Some people who were blocking the city gate were pushed aside by the soldiers, leaving a passage to make way for a few cavalry coming from a distance.
The galloping horses had no intention of stopping because they were about to enter the city. Instead, they went straight into the city, leaving only the dust flying after the horses ran past.
"Bah, bah, bah, damn, you made me eat a mouthful of mud." A soldier cursed in a low voice.
Even though he knew that the people riding past were not big shots that soldiers like him could provoke, it didn't stop him from cursing behind his back.
Beside this man, there was a soldier looking straight into the city.
"What are you looking at! Your eyes are straight. I didn't see you like this last time when I went to open the door ajar." The soldier next to him touched the other person with his arm and said with a smile.
The dazed soldier looked away and stammered: "Just now, it seems that the one who passed by just now was the Jin Yiwei."
"Jinyiwei?" Hearing this, the soldier next to him laughed, patted the other party's shoulder and said, "How could the Jinyiwei come to a place like ours? It's probably because of your eyesight."
The stunned soldier shook his head and said, "No, it's the Jinyiwei. When I was a kid, I went to Datong Fucheng with my father and saw the Jinyiwei once. They wore the same clothes as the ones who just passed by."
Seeing that he didn't seem to be faking it, the soldier next to him looked serious and said, "Are you sure you got it right?"
"You can't be wrong. If you really want to admit your mistake, I can give you these tricks." The dazed soldier said firmly.
"I want you to use your tactics." The soldier on the side said, "If those few who just entered the city are really Jin Yiwei, I'm afraid something big will happen."
There were several soldiers around, and one of them said with a disapproving look: "Just come, what big trouble can happen."
"Otherwise, you don't know anything." The soldier from before cursed, and then said, "You guys stay here and I'll go see our adults."
After saying that, he ignored the other soldiers in front of the city gate and ran towards the city alone.
The remaining soldiers in front of the city gate just thought that this man was making a fuss and did not take it seriously. They continued to greet the people at the city gate to enter the city and collect entry fees based on their head.
Yanghewei is smaller than the average county town. There is only one main road in the city. The Xunjian Yamen is on the busiest street in the city, and the main road in the city passes outside the Xunjian Yamen.
The size of the governor's yamen is smaller than that of the governor's yamen, but it is very conspicuous in Yanghewei.
After several Jinyi guards entered the city, they asked the people in the city where the patrol yamen was and searched all the way there.
There are soldiers guarding the door of the patrol office.
The Jin Yiwei came to the gate of the patrol office and dismounted one after another. One of them walked up to a soldier guarding the door, took out his token, waved it, and said at the same time: "I am the Jin Yiwei from Fusi, Beizhen. Please take me with you." I'm going to see Wang Xunjian."
The soldiers in front of the Yamen did not recognize Jin Yiwei's token, but judging from the person's appearance, he knew that it was impossible to fake it. He said to the Jin Yiwei in front of him with a humble look: "Sir, please wait a moment. I will go in and report to my house." grown ups."
"No need, I will go with you." As he said that, the square-faced guard walked towards the Yamen.
Several other Jin Yiwei followed suit and walked in together.
The soldiers at the yamen gate did not dare to stop him, so they could only jog in first to report the news.
Soon, Wang Xinyi's aide Chen Tong came out from the back office.
He was different from the soldiers who went in to report the news. He came to Datong from the capital. He had seen the fanzi in the capital with his own eyes. When he saw the clothes of the people coming towards him, he confirmed the identity of these people as Jin Yiwei at a glance.
"My Excellency, Chen Tong, is a member of the staff around Lord Patroller. I have met several of you." Chen Tong bowed his hands to these royal guards.
The square-faced Jinyiwei walking in front saw that the other party was Wang Xinyi's staff, and said with a straight face: "Where is Wang Xunjian? I am from Beizhen Fusi."
"My adults are in the back office. Please follow me." Chen Tong made a gesture of invitation.
The square-faced Jin Yiwei stepped forward.
With Chen Tong leading the way, the group quickly arrived at the back office of the patrol office.
At this time, Wang Xinyi was sitting on a seat in the back office drinking tea. When he saw Chen Tong bringing Jin Yiwei in, he raised his eyelids and took a look, but his body did not even move.
Instead, it was Chen Tong who took the lead and said, "Sir, these are people from Beizhen Fusi, here to see you."
Wang Xinyi casually put the bowl aside, looked at the royal guards who entered the back office, and said lightly: "Did Mr. Luo Sigong send you here?"
Now that the Donglin Party is gaining power, it is already known to everyone inside and outside the court. Jin Yiwei should be more polite to the Donglin Party members than to others.
The square-faced Jinyiwei knew that the Datong inspector in front of him was a member of the Donglin Party, so he did not show off, but said straight to the point: "The Holy One was furious when he saw the document sent by Mr. Wang, and sent me to Datong to verify the things in the document. , If Mr. Wang has any conclusive evidence here, please give it to us, and we will take it back to the capital and present it to the Holy One."
"What more evidence do you need? Since I said that Datong was treasonous, of course there is some evidence. I can deceive you, even if you are the censor of the Imperial Procuratorate." Wang Xinyi said with an ugly face.
The censor has always reported things based on hearsay. There is no such thing as evidence, and there is no need for it. Just a mouthful is enough.
The square-faced Jin Yiwei frowned slightly.
The censor can speak with his mouth, but they, the Imperial Guards, cannot. They need to obtain conclusive evidence before they can make a report. Especially since the Datong rebellion involves the governor of Datong and the general soldier of a town, empty words cannot be used as evidence.
