There is a home in the depths of the white clouds

Chapter 309

Wu Youwei was in a daze, dumbfounded.

what does this mean?

We have been working together for so long, who doesn't know that he and Wantong live next door?And when I went out to eat, I also sat at a table and stirred chopsticks in a hot pot!

How did you become a stranger all of a sudden?

"Cough cough!" Yin Zhi coughed twice: "It is said that he is responsible for the five-year examination?"

Wu Youwei smiled: "That's right! During the exam, Mr. Wan added charcoal to the room where I waited for the students."

"Oh?" Yin Zhi asked, "What's going on?"

Wu Youwei said that in their class, in fact, many people received preferential treatment because of Wantong's relationship, especially the students from the south.

Although Daming has a north-south list, it is because of the north-south list that southerners come to the north to take the exam.

Geographically, it should belong to the south, but if the ancestral home is in the north, you have to come to the north to take the exam.

In addition, the levels of the north and south rankings are different. The style of writing in the south is at its peak, and the exam is difficult, while the north is relatively easy, so many people come to the north to take the exam because of their household registration in the north.

Just because it is easier, it will be easier for southerners to take the exam in the north.

So in recent years, many southerners have moved to the north, but Daming has strict household registration control, and they cannot easily move.

In the beginning, the management was lax, and later there was the Nanbeibang case, which was one of the four major suspicious cases in the early Ming Dynasty, so the household registration was strictly controlled.

Therefore, it makes sense for a student from the south to come to the north to take the exam.

Moreover, those who can come to the north to take the exam must be from a well-known big family in the south, or their ancestors are from a family with a big background.

However, because they came to the north to take advantage of it, few people could take care of them during the exam in the North.

"Master Wan is also kind, and his subordinates are all reasonable people." Wu Youwei said: "People from the south just don't adapt to the north..."

Is this really the first time Yin Zhi has heard that Jin Yiwei can still be a well-educated person?

However, it is a good thing that Jin Yiwei respects scholars, and after listening to it, he is also very satisfied with Wantong's approach: "It's just that I have heard some rumors now.

Wu Youwei's eyes widened...

That night, Wantong had something to do in Beizhen Fusi and didn't come back, but someone sent a message to let him rest first.

Wu Youwei had something on his mind and couldn't sleep well. In the early hours of the morning, there was a knock on the door.

"Who is it?" Wu Youwei finally fell asleep, but was suddenly woken up.

"Master, it's Jin Yiwei!" It was Wan Fu who spoke.

"Ah?" Wu Youwei was stunned: "What did you say?"

Butler Wanfu was in a hurry: "Master, Jin Yiwei is here and said that he will take you to Beizhen Fusi."

Wu Youwei regained consciousness all of a sudden: "But something happened to Zhongming?"

"I don't know, they're all new here, and they can't do important work, so I can only send them to pick up someone for unimportant news." Butler Wanfu was also dumbfounded: "They look very anxious. "

"I'll put on my clothes and go!" Wu Youwei thought about Wantong's special job, even if he was promoted to the command post, it didn't mean he was out of danger.

After clattering his clothes, he went to the living room.

Standing in the living room were four very young guards in brocade clothes, with unfamiliar faces, and each of them was very restrained. They might have never been in the mansion where the commander was in charge, and they drank tea with a cautious look.

Wantong provided Wu Youwei with the Jinyiwei team, chatted with them, and knew that they were all new Jinyiwei, very fresh, and everyone took good care of the four juniors.

Seeing Wu Youwei coming out, they all stood up: "Master."

Well, are you all ready? "Wu Youwei hurriedly said: "Then let's go!" "

"Yes!" The crowd guarded him, got into the carriage, and hurried all the way to Fusi, Jinyiwei North Town.

There is a curfew in the capital at night, "xiao" means night, and "ban" means prohibition.

A curfew is a prohibition on activities at night.

The laws of the Ming and Qing Dynasties changed this article to "night ban".

The regulations are more clear, and travel is prohibited when the evening drum is sounded at three o'clock in the morning, and the ban on traffic is not allowed until the morning bell is sounded at three o'clock in the five o'clock.Those who walk on the streets during the second, third, and fourth shifts will be beaten forty times (fifty in the capital city); those who commit night crimes after the first night ban and shortly before the fifth watch is lifted, will be beaten thirty times (forty times in the capital city). Down),

Of course, there are exceptions, that is, disease, birth, death and death can pass.

Only those who have had emergencies, those who have given birth, and those who have died can go out to the streets at night. Those who are urgent need to consult a doctor; also can.

The rest will not work.

In fact, there was not much nightlife in ancient times. Either make little people at home;

And because Wu Youwei had Jin Yiwei by his side, he was able to travel all the way without hindrance, and soon arrived at Beizhen Fusi.

Beizhen Fusi is also brightly lit at night, there is no way, this is the yamen of Jinyiwei, there are many things going on day and night.

After Wu Youwei came, he was supposed to go directly to Wantong's yard, but someone came out to receive him: "I'll wait for you in the Houya."

"Houya?" Wu Youwei frowned at Jin Yiwei beside him: "Why is it in that place?"

"I have something to do over there. My lord said that when Wu Shidu came, I would send it to the back." The man pointed to the road next to him: "Go and wait in the yard first. My lord hasn't eaten yet, and the supper has already been delivered.

"Okay!" The Jinyi guards who followed Wu Youwei felt that there was no danger when they arrived at Beizhen Fusi. Who would dare to come to Beizhen Fusi to make trouble?

That's purely courting death!

Wu Youwei walked in with others alone. He had been here once, but the time he came, he looked at Beizhen Fusi very seriously. The road he walked was indeed the passage behind.

It's just that after walking this way, I found that something was not quite right...

Wantong went to Nanzhen Fusi to find his brother Wanxi because of something.

Wanxi is now the commander of Nanzhen Fusi.

The full name is "Jinyiwei South Town Fusi Commander Tongzhi".

In the early Ming Dynasty, the world was established, and it was recorded in "History of the Ming Dynasty":... To save the key points, those who belong to one county set up offices, and those who connect the counties set up guards.A large rate of 600 people is the guard, 120 people are the thousand households, and [-] people are the hundred households.The commander of the guards and envoys set up officials such as Jingwei, with the same rank and rank.

Commanding one envoy, is the third grade; directing two colleagues, following the third grade; directing four people, being the fourth grade...

Jinyiwei is no different than other guards, but Jingwei, where the emperor is close to the army, so this commander Tongzhi is three levels higher than other guards.

"Nanzhen Fusi" is responsible for the legal and military discipline of the guard.

"Beizhen Fusi" passed on cases appointed by the emperor, had its own prison (imperial prison), and could arrest, torture, and execute on its own without going through the judiciary.

Beizhen Fusi has many external tasks and often travels across the country.Beizhen Fusi's secret agents are all "imperial envoys".Since Beizhen Fusi is directly responsible to the emperor, local officials are respectful and respectful when they see Beizhen Fusi, and they are not careless at all.

But Nanzhen Fusi is not as prestigious as Beizhen Fusi. What they care most about is the guards of the emperor Luanjia and the personnel of Jinyiwei, the law and order, military status, etc.

It is not an exaggeration to say that it is Jinyiwei's logistics, and because Nanzhen Fusi is Jinyiwei, when Jinyiwei was notorious, he was inevitably implicated, and because he had no real power, he easily became a punching bag, so that now, Nanzhen Fusi is not only Jinyiwei's logistics, they also have to help when Wucheng Bingmasi is too busy!

For example, at the Shangyuan Lantern Festival, when the fire escaped, all the people from Nanzhen Fusi were dispatched to help the soldiers and horses of the five cities maintain order.

For example, when it rains heavily in the capital, the Fusi people in Nanzhen have to cooperate with the officials of Shuntian Prefecture to supply water to all the sewers in the capital to prevent the capital from being flooded.

Speaking of which, I'm tired!

Of course, it is also "tears".

It can't be compared with Beizhen Fusi.

However, Fusi of Beizhen is very powerful, and Fusi of Nanzhen can also borrow money. There are two guards, which are just two yamen. Wan Tong came here to see if there are any good seedlings for him.

Just in time, Wanxi was found. Wanxi happened to see off a guest, and that person looked familiar. After the person left, Wantong asked Wanxi: "Brother, I think that person looks familiar?"

"Isn't that Li Yu, Governor of Shuntian Prefecture?" Wan Xi smiled and said, "You are still directing things, and you don't even know Governor of Shuntian Prefecture.

"He didn't do anything wrong, why do I know him?" Wantong also smiled: "I met once last time."

It was still the same time, during the Lantern Festival, Bai Jing had a convulsion, and they quarreled with each other for a while, and even made a fuss in the government office. It was Mr. Li Yu who settled the case.

and.And... it seems to be biased towards them?

"Then what are you doing here?" Wanxi pushed the dim sum plate towards him: "What about the Bai family?"

"The Bai family is one thing, and there are other things..." Wantong took a snack to eat: "Pour me some tea first, brother, I'm thirsty."

"Okay, wait a minute." Just like when she was a child, Wanxi took care of her younger brother to eat and drink enough before starting to do business with him.

Wantong drank two cups of tea and half a plate of snacks before saying to Wanxi, "I want to transfer Wanda back to the capital."

"Wanda...that's fine." Wanxi said, "I can't help you much, let Xiaoda go back to the capital and go to Beizhen Fusi to help you.

"Wanda, come here, at least our three brothers are all in the capital, and the eldest sister has a prince now." Wan Dao said: "Our family does not fight, but we can't be bullied."

"Yes, our Wan family is not as good as the Bai family, but our Wan family never thought of fighting. The Bai family is so aggressive and bullying too much." Wanxi is an honest person, and honest people also have a temper. Wan Zhener is Wanxi Untouchable fuse.

"Wanda's transfer order, I will trouble you, big brother." Wan Tongdao: "Transfer him to Beizhen Fusi, and there is an empty house near me. It just so happens that after he comes to Beijing, his family will live there. I'm close, and I'm close to you."

Well, I'll do it. "The Fusi of Nanzhen under Wanxi's management does this: "Also, the Bai family has been drilling camps everywhere recently. The last time the astronomical warning was issued, the emperor completely dealt with a group of people, but those who want to have the merits of the dragon There are not a few people,

The Bai family has the eldest son of the emperor, and they will definitely put up a banner to win people over. Do you think our Wan family is...? "

"Let him make trouble if he wants to!" Wantong didn't care about it.

Anyway, Wu Youwei said that the eldest son of the emperor will not live long, since it is already destined that the Bai family's bamboo basket will be empty, he'd better watch the fun on the sidelines.

Also let the emperor see that the people of the Wan family are not always thinking about the prince's family of the dragon chair.

The Bai family is so capable, sooner or later they will be rejected by the emperor, and when the emperor is gone...

For the Bai family, there is nothing to worry about.

"You...what are you talking about?" Wan Xi said angrily, "The Bai family has bullied our Wan family!"

"Brother, don't be impatient, you listened to me right!" Wan Tongdao: "The Bai family is just a clown, they will be cleaned up sooner or later, now we have to be calm and indifferent. The emperor is still young, who knows How many princes will there be in the future?"

Wanxi was taken aback

"Emperor Chengzu had a prince in the East Palace back then. Didn't Emperor Renzong live cautiously?" Wan Tong said, "The more the Bai family jumps up and down, the more difficult it will be for the eldest son of the emperor in the future."

Wanxi was silent. He didn't think so far, but his younger brother was smarter than him, and what he said...was quite reasonable.

Wantong came out of Nanzhen Fusi and went home directly. Seeing Wanfu looking at him in surprise, he didn't think much of it. After dismounting, he threw the reins to Wanxi: "Where's the master?"

"Master, didn't you ask someone to pick you up at the Fusi Yamen in Beizhen?" Wanfu Butler wondered, "Why did you come back alone?"

Wantong stopped immediately: "When did I send someone to pick him up?"
