Father can be an enemy to the country

Chapter 48 The Pro-Army Captain's Mansion

The predecessor of the Qinjun Duwei Mansion was the Gongwei Division, which was established in the first year of Wu Dynasty. It was originally affiliated to the Grand Duwei Mansion and was the imperial guard office responsible for the protection and ceremonial duties of the emperor.

In the third year of Hongwu, Zhu Yuanzhang made it independent and changed it into the pro-military Duwei Mansion, which was responsible for the guards in the palace and the guard of honor when the royal family traveled.

In layman's terms, it's the job of an Ouchi guard.

Therefore, its officers and soldiers must not only be tall and long-legged, have thick eyebrows and big eyes, and be highly skilled in martial arts, but most importantly, they must be absolutely loyal.

There are roughly two types of soldiers. One is the children of soldiers who sacrificed their lives in the process of fighting for Zhu Yuanzhang. These orphans were raised by Zhu Yuanzhang from childhood, and there is absolutely no doubt about their loyalty.

The second is the children of noble and high-ranking generals. It has been a tradition since ancient times for the children of meritorious officials to serve as honorary guards. It has many benefits and no need to go into details.

But there are actually disadvantages, that is, it is not as simple and reliable as the former...

~~

Amidst the sharp copper whistle, the tall guards and soldiers poured into the school grounds from all directions.

In less than twenty breaths, the four hundred guards and soldiers in the Yamen were already neatly dressed, holding knives and crossbows, and lined up neatly on the school field.

I am hereby entrusting you with the order to immediately go to the Mansion of Marquis Deqing and search the Mansion of Marquis Deqing. You are not allowed to harass the family members, hide privately, damage property, or reveal any inside information about the search. Anyone who violates this rule will be executed as ordered. Right Commander Cao Xiugao The voice announced.

According to the order! the guards and soldiers responded in unison.

Cao Xiu then ordered the general: Mei Yi, Zhu Xian, you two will lead the team. After meeting with the people from the Ministry of Revenue at Hongwumen, go to Deqinghou Mansion to raid the house!

Here!

After speaking, he glanced at the other commander and said, Hood, you stay behind.

Yes. Hood was a little unhappy, but still responded in a deep voice.

Remember, this time is not a house search, the focus is on investigation! You must bring back everything with a mark on it. As for the property in the house, it will be registered and sealed by the Ministry of Household Affairs. You must not be greedy! Cao Xiu warned again and again:

It's Chinese New Year, and all the ministers are watching. Don't cause trouble for the emperor!

Understood! All the subordinates responded loudly.

Let's go. Cao Xiu waved his hand.

The soldiers all turned back under the command of the vanguard commander Mei Yi.

Cao Xiu looked very solemn as he watched the soldiers divided into two columns and marching neatly out of the Yamen of the Duwei Mansion.

Normally, he should lead the team in person for this kind of thing, but he really didn't want to get involved.

This is the first noble whose house was confiscated after the founding of the Ming Dynasty! Moreover, he is the Marquis of Deqing who has made great achievements and is not inferior to the Duke of the country.

Cao Xiu felt that what happened to Liao Yongzhong would definitely cause the grief of the ministers of the dynasty. They don't dare to show off to their superiors, otherwise they will take their anger out on themselves.

The emperor won't let his son interfere, so we can still avoid it, so let's avoid it. Cao Xiu said in a low voice. He said this not only to himself, but also to Hood beside him.

Thank you Captain Cao for coming back to protect me. Hood nodded. But he knew in his heart that the real reason why he was not allowed to participate was because he was Hu Weiyong's nephew.

The emperor is worried, fearing that he might be causing trouble...

‘Your Majesty, you really guessed it. ’ Hood gave a meaningful smile.

~~

On the second day of the Lunar New Year in Nanjing, the spirit of the New Year is still in full swing.

Door gods, Spring Festival couplets and peach charms are posted on the door of every house, and the streets are covered with colorful firecracker skins. People wearing new clothes are going from house to house carrying gifts to pay New Year greetings.

Suddenly, rapid gongs and shouts sounded at the street entrance:

Avoid avoidance!

The common people hurried to the side of the road and saw an elite troop wearing red-tasseled iron helmets, green embroidered uniforms, and long cowhide boots, trotting towards them, with uniform steps, and a chilling atmosphere permeating the long street.

Hey, this seems to be the emperor's personal guard... The people in Beijing are knowledgeable.

Yeah. I've never seen them go out alone, and there are so many people... Some people felt that something was unusual.

Is there something big going on?

It's Chinese New Year, what can happen? The prisoner is not being tried in the Yamen yet.

Zhu Xian, the commander of the Duwei Mansion's left guard, followed the team on horseback, absently listening to the gossip of the people, but all he could think about was what happened last night...

~~

Last night, the elders were drinking in the palace, and they, the younger generation, also gathered at the Duke of Song's mansion to drink New Year's Eve wine.

When he came out to pee, Hood came out too.

The two stood side by side in the hut, showing off their dicks together.

Amidst the clattering sound, he heard Hu De say:

Have you heard? Liao Yongzhong was arrested.

When did it happen? Zhu Xian was stunned and stopped.

Just half an hour ago, Hood said softly, Uncle asked someone to tell me.

Oh. Zhu Xian's head was very bright and he asked in a low voice: What are your orders from Prime Minister Hu?

My uncle said that with the emperor's temperament, the Deqinghou Mansion will definitely be raided soon. By then, I will most likely be excluded, and I can only count on Xian or Deng Zhen.

Yeah. Zhu Xian nodded, obviously knowing a lot.

If you are asked to search the house, then you will be like this, like this... Hu De warned in a low voice, and then said: I will also tell Deng Zhen. As for Mei Yi, my uncle will find a way to make him open his eyes. Close one eye.

Where's Tang Ding? He's not easy to bribe, is he? Zhu Xian asked again. The Qinjun Duwei Mansion has five guards, front, rear, left, center and right, and five commanders.

He has other business matters. Hood said calmly.

What if the two captains personally lead the team? Zhu Xian was still a little worried.

No, uncle said, Liu Ying must keep an eye on Liao Yongzhong to prevent him from being silenced. As for our right captain, don't you know his current virtue? Hu De said confidently.

Okay. Zhu Xian couldn't think of anything else and could only nod in agreement.

~~

Although Hu Xiang had made arrangements, it was Zhu Xian's first time doing this kind of thing, so he couldn't help but feel nervous.

He knew that if he was exposed, the emperor would definitely skin him. Even dad can't protect himself.

Looking at Mei Yi who was standing aside, he saw that the old man was there, as if nothing had happened, and he was very relaxed.

While thinking wildly, I heard Mei Yi whisper: We're here.

Oh. Zhu Xian quickly raised his head.

On the imposing door of the Hou Mansion, the plaque inscribed by the emperor with the words Superior General, Wisdom and Powerful Army came into view.

But at this moment, it seemed that the irony was overwhelming.

Yesterday, everyone in the mansion was put on lockdown. At this time, the door of the mansion was closed tightly, and there were officers and soldiers of the Yulin Guard guarding the door.

Mei Yi showed the edict to Qianhu who was guarding the gate, and then the officials from the Ministry of Household Affairs also submitted the letter of Zhongshu, and the Yulin guards opened the door and let them in.

As soon as he entered the mansion, he was blocked by more than a hundred tough servants armed with swords, guns and clubs.

All noble families have servants, as well as honor guards and bodyguards allowed by the imperial court. The same goes for Mei Yi and Zhu Xian's families.

Oh, I forgot to introduce. Mei Yi was the eldest son of Mei Sizu, Marquis of Runan, who was scolded by Marquis Deqing that night, and Zhu Xian was the eldest son of Zhu Liangzu, Marquis of Yongjia.

Therefore, this was a situation they had expected. Mei Yi read out the edict again and said politely: We are also carrying out errands according to the order. Brothers, please give way.

But we have this! Liao Yongzhong's eldest son, Liao Quan, showed an iron coupon the size of a tile with the golden words save death engraved on it, and said angrily: The emperor won't even recognize this, right?!
