It is nothing wrong to have the Jinyiwei basically under the jurisdiction of the East Factory, so when Jiang Xia said that Liu Jin "is in charge of the ritual supervisors and the outside of the East Factory, and commands the Jinyiwei, which is so powerful that it is enviable." Liu Jin didn't feel anything, so he nodded and responded.

However, the so-called unintentional listener intentionally, Jiang Xia's words "leading the Jinyiwei" directly put the secret affiliation between the Dongchang and the Jinyiwei on the surface.

You should know that the Jinyiwei was founded by Emperor Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang and has existed since the founding of the Ming Dynasty until today. Institutions like the East Factory and the West Factory, which were dominated by eunuchs, only began to appear during the Yongle period, and there were ups and downs, and some dynasties did not.

Therefore, in terms of foundation, Dongchang is not as good as the Jinyiwei.

Furthermore, the predecessor of the Jinyiwei was the "Guangwei Department". They belong to the military system to trace the origin, and it is no longer a group of eunuchs who take care of them.

However, the affairs of the Dongchang and Jinyiwei are often responsible for overlapping, and the two often need to cooperate with each other. Liu Jin is deeply trusted and favored by Zhu Houzhao, and he often stays with Zhu Houzhao, and his voice in front of Zhu Houzhao is much more powerful than Huang Feiyue. It is precisely because of this reason that Huang Feiyue is afraid of Liu Jin and tries to follow him in many things.

However, compliance does not mean subordinates. Huang Feiyue is a senior official of the third rank, and in terms of real power, how many civil and military officials in the Ming Dynasty would not be afraid of him? It is definitely an insult to let him admit that he was under the jurisdiction of a eunuch.

However, Jiang Xia understood Huang Feiyue's thoughts, but Liu Jin had always felt that Dongchang and Jinyiwei were affiliated by the Jinyiwei, so he didn't think much about it and responded to Jiang Xia's words "leading Jinyiwei".

Jiang Xia smiled slightly, clasped his fists at Liu Jin and Huang Feiyue and bowed: "Eunuch Liu, Lord Huang, I'm leaving."

After saying that, Jiang Xia left first.

Liu Jin looked at Jiang Xia's departure and sneered, and he whispered: "The villain is successful and he is incoherent."

After saying that, Liu Jin turned around and smiled at Huang Feiyue and said, "Mr. Huang, it's still early. Why don't we go to Mingyue Tower for a cup of tea and talk about how to capture the flower-picking thief?"

Huang Feiyue looked at Liu Jin deeply, shook his head and said, "Report to my elders, I still have important things to do, so I won't disturb you from my elders' precious time. I will take my leave first. Please forgive me for being rude."

After Huang Feiyue said something, he turned around and left.

Liu Jin was slightly stunned. Generally speaking, Huang Feiyue called him "father-in-law", which was also considered a kind of respectful title, but Huang Feiyue had never called him "Master". With Liu Jin's knowledge, how could he not understand that Huang Feiyue was expressing his dissatisfaction?

He carefully recalled what Jiang Xia said just now, and then he realized that he had been slapped once by Jiang Xiayin.

Jiang Xia was really too cunning. In his long passage, only the five words "Super the Jinyiwei" were traps, and there were no other ambiguities in the rest, so Liu Jin did not notice and fell into the trap at once.

A cold light flashed in Liu Jin's eyes and he shouted coldly: "Jiang Xia!"

At this moment, Jiang Xia had already brought Bu Jinyun, the royal family dragon stinger, and Yu Ren waited to the Duke Dingguo Mansion.

The word "determined" can be interpreted as "determined country" which shows that this family was a minister who had left great achievements during the founding period. Indeed, this family was a descendant of Hong Kaiji, Jiangyin.

Hong Kaiji is not famous in history because he has never fought any classic wars, nor is he a general who stands alone.

In fact, he was the commander of Zhu Yuanzhang's personal guard. During his days of fighting in the south and north, he used his body to block the swords and arrows for Zhu Yuanzhang five times. If it weren't for him, Zhu Yuanzhang would have died long ago.

Therefore, after Zhu Yuanzhang established the country, he was appointed Duke Ding and allowed his descendants to inherit this title.

The Duke of Dingguo Mansion was given by Zhu Yuanzhang. It has a high-gate courtyard, covering a vast area and extraordinary style.

Bu Jinyun knocked on the door of the Duke Ding Mansion. After a while, a small door under the door opened. The person in the doorman stretched out his head and asked, "You are."

Geng Zhongqiu, who was standing beside Jiang Xia, took out the token of the Royal Dragon Investigator from his arms and said, "The Royal Dragon Investigator, come to investigate the matter of your eldest lady's hunchback, according to the emperor's will."

Geng Zhongqiu was unable to say the word "picking flowers".

However, the person in the doorman understood, and he nodded quickly and said, "Please wait, everyone, I'll report to my master immediately."

"Okay." Jiang Xia nodded.

After a while, the middle door of the Duke of Dingguo's Mansion opened, which was a kind of kindness.

Anyone who understands it knows that in ancient times, there were side doors next to the gates of the slightly more powerful families, and the middle door was the main gate in the middle. In ancient times, the hierarchy was strict, and there were regulations for anyone to walk on any door. For example, servants could only walk on the back door, and if they were married, they could only walk on the side door. When marrying a wife or greeting a VIP, they had to walk on the middle door. The wide opening of the middle door indicates respect.

Jiang Xia nodded to the people beside her and took the lead in walking in.

In the front yard, an old man came up with several middle-aged people. The old man asked, "Who is Jiang Xia, the leader of the royal dragon detective?"

"Mr., Jiang Xia is below." Jiang Xia walked forward two steps to salute the old man. He saw the portrait of Duke Ding while reading the information of the flower-picking thief, so he recognized him at a glance.

Ding Guo Duke Hong Tao said excitedly: "Mr. Jiang, I have been hiding for a long time. I'm sorry for you for this matter."

Jiang Xia shook her head, then said to Hong Tao: "Old man, I don't know where the eldest lady is. Can we ask her some questions?"

"Oh," Hong Tao shook his head, turned around and pointed, "Please come with me, you will know after seeing it."

When Jiang Xia saw Hong Tao's appearance, he guessed that the situation of the eldest lady of the Duke's Mansion was not very good. He nodded and walked up.

Walking all the way to the backyard, Hong Tao pointed to a room.

The room was locked, and there was a miserable scream: "No! Go away! Don't come over"

The voice was a little hoarse, and it seemed that the young lady had been calling for a long time.

Hong Tao said with a sad look: "It's a misfortune to the family, and it's actually something so embarrassing. Since last night, she has been like this since this morning."

Jiang Xia nodded and said to Hong Tao: "Master, can you open the door and let me see the eldest lady?"

Hong Tao nodded and nodded to a middle-aged man who looked like a housekeeper beside him and signaled.

The middle-aged man immediately took out the key and opened the lock.

When Jiang Xia was about to walk over, Hong Tao grabbed Jiang Xia's hand and said, "Mr. Jiang, you can see through the conspiracy of the third Mongolian prince. Your intelligence and talent are well-known in the capital. I depend on you."

Jiang Xia nodded and said seriously: "Don't worry, Mr. Jiang Xia will do his best."

Hong Tao nodded, Jiang Xia took Yu Ren, Su Meiniang and the others to walk over.

Pushing open the door, the eldest lady of the Hong family immediately hid in the corner, curled up in a ball and said tremblingly: "Don't come over."

At this moment, Su Meiniang suddenly shouted: "Caiyin and replenish yang skills?"
