Martial Arts of the Ming Dynasty: Salted Fish and Jin Yiwei in the Imperial City

It was also the last thing the emperor wanted to see them succeed, and he tried his best to fight for it.

Emperor Tianwu wanted to do something big, so he naturally wanted to win the hearts of the people.

As a wage earner who took over the task, Ye Lan understood the boss's intentions very well.

Walk in the disaster area to Emperor Tianwu.Pulled a lot of favorability.

Also showing off, Ye Lan headed further south.

Naturally, it was impossible for him to stop and help with disaster relief.

Jin Yiwei doesn't do this job.

Bringing so much food to them along the way was already the limit of what he could do.

Complete the most important task of sending gold, and the rest is to fight those corrupt officials and clean up the atmosphere!

With the remaining one hundred Jinyiwei, Ye Lan came to Huizhou.

It's also a big city.

Adjacent to the north of Hunan, connected to the south of the Yangtze River, and looked up to the capital city.

In this kind of city, not only the three religions and nine streams gather, but also many merchants gather, and people from the martial arts circle come and go.

When Ye Lan came from the official road, he looked at this city which was completely different from the tragedy in the disaster area in northern Hunan, and sighed a few words in his mouth.

"North Xiangbei next door is so miserable, but Huizhou doesn't have much influence."

Shen Lian, a dull gourd, walked around the north of Hunan, and felt a lot in his heart.

Hearing Ye Lan's words, he always felt that he was making sarcastic remarks, so he replied unconsciously.

"There are rivers and lakes near Huizhou. When the flood from northern Hunan is diverted here, it will not cause serious problems."

"Yo, you understand this too?" Ye Lan looked at Shen Lian in surprise.

He turned his head expressionlessly: "Before I was transferred to the capital, I stayed in the south for a while."

"Oh? That's a good relationship. I just want to ask you something."

Ye Lan rode his horse and took Jin Yiwei, who was usually hidden in the dark, on the official road swaggeringly.

"It is said that the south is rich and prosperous. Doesn't that mean that they will pay more taxes to the court?"

"Maybe." Shen Lian looked at Ye Lan's back, and his heart was a little moved.

Could it be that Ye Lan wants to start from Huizhou?

This is not a safe place...

"Yes, that's good, brothers, there is still oil and water to fish for!"

Ye Lan said loudly, and Jin Yiwei's brothers also echoed.

It's good to follow such a boss, and never forget to help them fight for their interests.

Looking at the city gate that was getting closer and closer, the corner of Ye Lan's mouth twitched into a smile at the front.

Now I'm free!

Are you ready to take the call?

"All orders!"

"Break it into pieces and sneak into Huizhou City!"

"Collect all information about the forces here!"

"This hundred households are waiting for your good news at the county government."

The royal guards were all gearing up to respond. After waiting for so many days, it was finally their turn to show their talents.

"By the way! Don't disturb the residents of the city." Ye Lan reminded in a neutral manner, "We are here to deal with corrupt officials, not to disturb the people!"

"understand!"

Chapter 34 Judgment Today, Extinction Tomorrow

More than 100 Jinyiwei, when they entered Huizhou City, they had already been broken into parts, each showed their skills, and went to inquire about the news.

Ye Lan also entered the city alone, but Ye Lan went straight to the Yamen.

If you come to Huizhou by yourself, you can't hide from those people. It's better to go in openly, attract the attention of those people, and create space for Jin Yiwei to move around.

Wearing the silver-white uniform of Baihu Jinyiwei, before Ye Lan arrived at the yamen, there were already officials waiting outside.

Officially speaking.

Ye Lan's Jinyiwei hundred households are only sixth-rank officials, and they don't need officials to talk to each other.

But he is not only the Jinyiwei of the picket officials, but also the imperial envoy of the emperor, so his status is naturally different.

Ye Lan's southern tour on behalf of the sage has almost spread throughout Daming in the past few days, how could the county magistrate of Huizhou not know?

When he received the news that Ye Lan had entered Huizhou City, he also complained in his heart.

This guy was safe and sound all the way, and he didn't do anything out of the ordinary.

How could he be selected for surgery in Huizhou City after the gold was delivered?

"Lord Ye, I wonder why you came to Huizhou City?" The county magistrate pretended to be confused, but Ye Lan didn't point it out.

Hand over the steed to the servants, and go to the county government office first.

"I heard that Huizhou City is also a prosperous center in the hinterland of Ming Dynasty, so I just came to see the world today."

The county magistrate followed behind, so that he could wink at the master and the yamen servant next to him, and smile apologetically.

"Master Ye is just joking, the capital city is the most prosperous place in the world, which row is the best in Huizhou?"

"Hehe, the north is better than the north, and the south has the beauty of the south. I will walk all the way and see that the people live and work in peace and contentment. Master Li has made great achievements in governing."

"Where, where..." County magistrate Li saw that Ye Lan couldn't get to the point, and didn't know what he was thinking, so he could only be polite.

At the same time, he is also buying time for those people to erase some bad traces as soon as possible.

Of course Ye Lan also understood that they would definitely take action.

But he can be sad about Jin Yiwei's ability.

After all, finding criminal evidence is their old profession.

Now it is better than whose subordinates are stronger.

Ye Lan showed such a posture, maybe she was covering for Jin Yiwei.

I believe that with Shen Lian and Li Gexiao present, Jin Yiwei will be more efficient than those government officials.

When he came to the county government office, Ye Lan found a prisoner kneeling in the middle of the open space, with two or three corpses lying beside him.

"Is there a trial?" Ye Lan turned around and asked.

"Reporting to my lord, there happened to be a case of murdering my husband..."

"Oh, then you continue to handle the case, and I'll take a look."

Ye Lan walked aside, pretending to be a jury.

County magistrate Li was shocked.

Is this guy about to make a move?

They knew that Ye Lan's southern tour was to punish corrupt officials, so they had paid attention to it a long time ago.

It's a pity that my official business is business-like, and you can't catch it!

County magistrate Li felt complacent, coughed, and went back to continue solving the case.

But Ye Lan didn't pay much attention to this case.

But when he walked to the side and looked at the prisoner kneeling there, his eyes lit up.

Yoho, another star!

Which plot is this involved in?

The prisoner in the hall wore a red wedding dress, which was so bright.

When kneeling there, she didn't feel regret or fear, but her back was straight. Even if she was hidden under the wide wedding dress, people could still feel her graceful figure.

Under the slightly messy hair was a sickly smile.

Dark red blood splattered from the cheeks to the snow-white collarbone, making the whole person look coquettish and ghostly.

Looking straight ahead, it seems that he is indifferent to everything, and seems to be thinking about something on his mind.

When the county magistrate sat in the middle hall, her eyes turned to Ye Lan who was standing with his hands behind his back.

curious.

Charm.

eager......

Ye Lan looked at this sickly girl, the corners of her mouth turned up.

"It's a beauty, it's a pity..."

County magistrate Li glanced at Ye Lan indiscriminately, thinking of the information about Ye Lan that the person behind him gave him.

A young man born with a lot of money...

Looking at the criminal below, he ignored Ye Lan for the time being, and slapped the gavel, as if doing business, reciting the crime

"Ye Zhanqing, a peasant girl, was unwilling to marry Wang Chongli, a man from the same village, just because she was angry with the matchmaker's words, so she stabbed the bridegroom to death with a sharp knife on the wedding day with the two, and on the night of festivities and candles in the bridal chamber!

With unabated intent to kill, he ran outside the house and assassinated the groom's parents one after another!

Taking three lives, with a vicious heart, an unforgivable crime!

Judge today, kill tomorrow! "

boom!

With a slap of the gavel, County Magistrate Li said imposingly: "Come here! Put him in prison and ask him to kill him tomorrow!"

Two yamen servants came in the morning and carried Ye Zhanqing back.

She didn't resist at all, she just kept staring at Ye Lan, as if she couldn't get enough of it.

Ye Lan didn't say anything, just watched her being taken away, unmoved.

It's as if his exclamation before was purely an exclamation, with no other meaning.

The common people standing outside the yamen and watching the excitement clapped and shouted Qingming, which shows that they also think that such a sentence is right for those who killed their husbands and families.

But they were just watching the excitement, and when the case was judged, they also slowly retreated.

At this time, County Magistrate Li smiled at Ye Lan with the majesty of an official who judged life and death, which was completely different from the previous smile.

"Master Ye, do you think there was a wrong judgment in this case? Give me some pointers?"

"Hehe, I'm just an errand runner, so I don't understand these things." Ye Lan wouldn't even affect the emperor's aura, let alone a county magistrate of seventh or eighth rank.

Of course, Ye Lan said so, but turned around and said something.

"Doesn't the death penalty require His Majesty to make a judgment in person? Aren't you bypassing His Majesty and abusing your power? Contempt for the imperial power?"

Well, whether he is right or not, let's put his hat on first.

Unexpectedly, County Magistrate Li was not panicked at all, with a smile on his face, but he was quite contemptuous in his heart.

A reckless man, who doesn't even know the laws of the Ming Dynasty, dares to take the southern tour on behalf of the saint?

Just wait until you make a mistake!

Chapter 35 One satyr, what's the point..

In normal history, the death penalty in the Ming Dynasty, whether it was executed by decision or after the fall, had to be reviewed and approved by the central judicial authority and the emperor.

As for death penalty cases that have been decided, they are generally approved by the Ministry of Punishment first, and the Metropolitan Procuratorate participates in the review, and then they are sent to Dali Temple for trial, and then the three jurisprudence will play the emperor's final approval.

But that's normal historically.
