Master of Ceremonies.

Located in the northern part of the Forbidden City, along with the many yamen of the Inner Court, the celebrant was one of the most important buildings in the Imperial City.

At this time, Wang Zhen was in the bedroom flipping through the eunuchs who had been approved by the eunuchs of the ceremonial eunuch Bingbi, and when he agreed with the opinions proposed by the eunuch Bingbi, he asked the chamberlain standing aside to stamp the seal of the orthodox emperor on the seal, otherwise he would send it back and let the eunuch Bingbi re-approve the red until he was satisfied.

Therefore, the eunuch in the palm seal of the celebrant is the supreme being, which determines whether the performance of the chapter can be carried out.

It is worth mentioning that the seal used by the eunuch on the seal of the master of ceremonies is not the jade seal of the orthodox emperor, and the seal of the orthodox emperor is not only a jade seal, but there are other seals, which are used on different occasions to represent the emperor.

The reason why the seal of the orthodox emperor is used instead of the seal of the celebrant is because although the celebrant has a very powerful position, his rank is only one of the yamen of the inner court.

Therefore, the seal of the celebrant is only valid for the people and things of the celebrant supervisor, and it should be one of the seals of the orthodox emperor on those seals, and only when they are stamped with this seal can they be sent to the major ministries and institutes for execution.

Originally, Wang Zhen was supposed to stay in the Forbidden City at night to serve the orthodox emperor, but because of the case of the He family and Xue Xuan, he chose to stay in the steremonial supervisor, so that he could deal with the matter reported below in time.

"Father-in-law, Master Ma sent someone to send a message that Prince Zhong left someone to guard the edict when he left." The door was gently pushed open, and the celebrant walked in with the eunuch Mao Gui, and whispered to Wang Zhen, who was looking at the music in his hand.

"Got it." Wang Zhen replied without raising his head, frowning and looking at the music in front of him, Li Yuntian had given enough time for people to operate the affairs in the edict, and now that the time was up, he would naturally seal the edict.

"Father-in-law, do you say that the loyal prince can find out the head of Lord Wang." Mao Gui groaned for a moment when he heard this, and asked tentatively in a whisper.

"If Lord Zhong is serious, he will definitely find him!" Wang Zhen put down the piece in his hand and stretched lazily, with a depressed look on his face.

Wang Zhen was very surprised that Li Yuntian was able to find the embroidery village in such a short period of time and also got the waist card of the brocade guard, and at the same time it was a logical thing, if Li Yuntian did not have this ability, he would not have become a leader in the military and political circles of the Ming Dynasty, leading the way.

Now, all Wang Zhen can do is to wait and see what happens, and wait for Li Yuntian to find Jinyiwei's body before attacking, with Li Yuntian's calmness and mind, he can understand how to do the following things with a little touch.

"What's going on with the second young master?" Subsequently, Wang Zhen remembered something and couldn't help but ask Mao Gui.

"According to the report of the people who came back from Tongzhou, the second young master boarded the ship heading south in the afternoon, and if there is no accident, he will arrive in Nanjing smoothly." Mao Gui bowed down when he heard this, and replied with a smile.

"I hope this incident will give him a long memory." Wang Zhen bowed slightly, and his expression was extremely serious.

The second young master in Mao Gui's mouth refers to Wang Shan, the second son of Wang Zhen's brother, who has no heirs, so he regards several nephews as his own, and takes care of them in every way, and he will naturally protect him if there is anything

After the orthodox emperor ascended the throne, Wang Zhen's family members came to him one after another, and Wang Zhen then gave them an errand in the pro-army, among which Wang Shan entered Jinyiwei and is now a lieutenant of Jinyiwei.

That's right, the person who committed adultery with Yue's family was Wang Shan, a year ago, Wang Shan met Yue's family on the street, and was immediately shocked, so he began to flatter and flatter, teasing in every way, and finally the two hooked up and became adulterous.

In order to be able to stay together, Wang Shan wanted to accept the Yue family as a concubine, but was rejected by the He family, who knew that the Yue family was young and beautiful and difficult to be widowed, and considering that she did not leave children to the Zhao family, she was ready to let her marry someone else after three years of filial piety.

However, Wang Shan couldn't wait that long, and after He knew that Yue might be stealing people outside, he asked his family to watch him die, so that the two could no longer have a private meeting.

Wang Shan, relying on Wang Zhen's power, didn't put a small commander Tongzhi's widow in his eyes at all, and saw that he was so ignorant of promotion, so he decided to get rid of the He family, and then achieve the goal of staying and flying with the Yue family.

At the instigation of Wang Shan, the Yue family complained to the Fusi of Jinyi Weibei Town that He had poisoned Zhao Commander Tongzhi, and Jinyi Weibei Zhenfu Si then handed over the case to the Metropolitan Procuratorate for trial.

Although He did not poison him, and Zhao Commander Tongzhi had been dead for nearly two years, and his body had turned into white bones, Wang Shan felt that this was not a problem, and the truth of the case was not important, what mattered was how the official in charge of the case would judge.

Wang Shan exerted pressure on the Metropolitan Procuratorate through Jinyiwei, and finally Zheng Xiang was forced to convict He of poisoning his husband according to his intentions against his will.

Originally, this case had nothing to do with Xue Xuan, but Commander Zhao was also an official in the capital no matter how he said it, and he had many old friends, and his case didn't know how to stab Xue Xuan, so Xue Xuan paid attention to it.

As Zuo Shaoqing of Dali Temple, it is Xue Xuan's duty to verify the case of the Three Law Divisions, so Xue Xuan easily transferred the case file of He's murder case, and found that there were many strange things in it, and many of the evidence was just one side of the witness.

Therefore, Xue Xuan naturally had to protest, believing that there were doubts in the case and let the Metropolitan Procuratorate retry it.

Those imperial historians of the Metropolitan Procuratorate already knew that the He family's case was related to Jinyiwei, and it was also a case that Jinyiwei Beizhen Fusi personally paid attention to, so no one was willing to come forward to take this case for retrial, after all, it was not a wise choice to provoke Beizhen Fusi for the sake of a widow.

So after several prevarications, the Metropolitan Procuratorate pushed the case to the Criminal Department, and the people from the Criminal Department also heard about He's murder of her husband with the figure of Jinyiwei, and they didn't want to wade into this muddy water, but there was no way, after all, it was the responsibility of the Criminal Department to try the case.

The next thing is well known, the head of the Criminal Department found He not guilty after examination, and Yue was put in prison for the Criminal Department.

Seeing this, Wang Shan had no choice, although he relied on Wang Zhen to walk sideways in the Jinyi Guard, but after all, his power in the court was limited, so he hurriedly asked Wang Zhen for help, first, he loved the Yue family so much and didn't want the Yue family to go to prison, and secondly, he was worried that the Yue family would involve him.

Wang Zhen naturally wants to protect Wang Shan, and he is also annoyed by Xue Xuan's meddling, there are grievances and entanglements between the two, and the civil official group has repeatedly attacked the inner court recently, so he decided to fight back, take Xue Xuan down and kill the chicken and monkey, and give the civil official group a little color.

Originally, Wang Zhen wanted to solve the case quickly, so that Ma Shun could quickly conclude the false bribery case, so that the civil official group in the imperial court would have nothing to do, after all, the civil official group could not interfere in the trial of the imperial prison.

But who would have thought that the orthodox emperor would show Li Yuntian Xue Xuan's impeachment of Jinyiwei and the Duchayuan, which made Li Yuntian accidentally involved in the case of Xue Xuan and the He family.

As Wang Zhen worried, Li Yuntian had Zhuo Yue's ability to solve cases, and found a breakthrough in He's case overnight, and with a little trickery, the proprietress of Xiuzhuang took out Wang Shan's waist card, forcing Wang Zhen to urgently send Wang Shan to Nanjing for temporary refuge.

The reason why Wang Shan lost the waist card was that Zhao Si had a great Kansai, Zhao Si saw the content of the waist card clearly by the moonlight outside the window, and did not put the waist card back in his place in panic, but put it in the flower pot on the windowsill, and then fled in a hurry.

Because Wang Shan was in a relationship with Yue's family at that time, he didn't notice that the waist card was missing when he got up in the morning and left, and it was already afternoon when he found out.

Wang Shan sent someone to Xiuzhuang to find it, but unfortunately it was hidden by the selfish proprietress, if it was left on the body of the ordinary Jinyi Wei acting lieutenant, he would have been anxious, but Wang Shan was who he was, and then asked the people of Jinyi Wei to make up for his waist card, and he didn't take this matter to heart at all.

At that time, Wang Shan would never have thought that this lost waist card would bring him big trouble and expose his identity as Yue's adulterer.

Fortunately, Li Yuntian did not rush to find Yue's adulterer, which made Wang Zhen have enough time to deal with it, first, to let Wang Shan urgently leave Beijing to avoid the limelight, and secondly, to send someone to the edict to warn Yue's not to talk nonsense, and to insist that there was no adulterer.

This is also why the Yue family guessed Li Yuntian's identity as soon as he saw him, but this also made Li Yuntian sure that someone had leaked the news to the Yue family.

Li Yuntian didn't care about this, because the He family's murder case was not just a case, but a game between several forces in the imperial court, and his purpose was to resolve this game rather than to hit a certain force, otherwise as long as he went to Jinyiwei to find out who left the imperial city when the Yue family went to Xiuzhuang to have a private meeting with the adulterer, then he could find the adulterer.

The reason why Wang Zhen can sit still now is precisely because he sees Li Yuntian's intention, so he did not panic, but patiently waited for the opportunity to flop against Li Yuntian.

At the end of the morning, Jinyi Weibei Town Fu Si was edicted.

Due to the darkness of the night, there was silence in the prison, and occasionally only the night guards lazily patrolled.

The Yue family, like the He family, was "lucky" to live in a single cell because of the involvement in the imperial case, which was a treatment only available to the princes and magnates of the imperial court, and many people couldn't look forward to it.

Because of Li Yuntian's words when he left, Yue's lay on the bed and couldn't fall asleep, and his heart was full of panic, if others said that, Yue's would scoff, but Li Yuntian was different, and his reputation was famous, which made her worry about her fate.

Although Wang Shan's own uncle Wang Zhen is the eunuch of the celebrant and the confidant of the orthodox emperor, Li Yuntian is the prince with a different surname of the Ming Dynasty and the teacher of the orthodox emperor since childhood.

Just as Yue was tossing and turning, there was a sound of footsteps in the corridor outside the cell door, getting closer and closer to her, and soon the sound of unlocking the cell door sounded.

There was a creak, and before Yue's reaction the door of the cell was opened, several big men in civilian clothes walked in with expressionless faces, which made Yue's couldn't help but get out of bed from getting up, looking at the Jinyi guards who entered the door with a surprised expression, not knowing what these people were going to do at such a late hour.

Then, under Yue's surprised gaze, a woman in a white jersey was carried in by two big men, not only were her hands tied with ropes, but also a ball of rags was stuffed in her mouth, and she struggled desperately there, her eyes full of frightened looks.

"Come with us." The leading national-faced man waved at Yue, who was in a daze there, and said with a serious expression.

"You...... Who are you? Seeing this, He couldn't help but be taken aback, and looked at the big man with a stunned face, feeling that the appearance of these people was rather weird.

It stands to reason that she will be passed through the court tomorrow and it is Li Yuntian who is trying the case, so no one should be summoned to ask him now, is there someone more powerful than Li Yuntian? I'm afraid there is only the Orthodox Emperor.

Moreover, the big man with the national character face and others were wearing civilian clothes, which made her feel vigilant.

"We're the ones who were ordered to save you, and if you don't want to die tonight, come with us." The big man with the national character face did not answer He's words, but reached out and pulled the long hair of the woman in prison uniform on the side, and looked at Yue Shi coldly, "One of the two of you must die here tonight, is it you or her?" ”

Hearing this, the woman in prison uniform began to struggle violently, shaking her head desperately, looking very frightened.

Seeing this, the Yue clan immediately understood, this woman in prison uniform was her substitute ghost, and she would die in prison instead of her, no wonder her appearance and figure were somewhat similar to her, so that Li Yuntian would not get any useful evidence when he tried the case tomorrow, and naturally Wang Shan would not be involved.

"We have limited time, if you don't want to leave, stay here and die!" Seeing that Yue still didn't react, the big man with the national character face let go of the long hair of the female prisoner he was holding, and said in a cold voice, "Later, the brothers will send you to meet with you below to find the commander."

"The women are willing to go, and the women are far away." The Yue clan finally came back to his senses and said to the big man with a national character face in a loud voice.

Hearing this, the big man with the national character face got up and walked towards the old door, Yue Shi hurriedly followed behind her, and the female prisoner who brought it was pushed down into the licorice pile on the side, and a big man pulled out a short knife and walked over viciously.

Yue had already guessed what was going to happen next, and he suddenly felt a little sympathy for the female prisoner in his heart, no matter how he said that the female prisoner also died on her behalf.

After leaving the door of the cell, Yue followed the big man with a Chinese character face to the gate of the edict prison, during which he did not see a single jailer on duty, presumably someone took him away.

There was a four-wheeled carriage parked outside the compound, Yue didn't think much about it, and immediately got into it after the big man with the national character face opened the car door, she is now bent on leaving here, and Wang Shan went to Jiangnan to live a good life, and Wang Zhen can't suffer a loss in Wang Shan's officialdom.

The carriage immediately started, getting farther and farther away from Fusi in Jinyi Weibei Town, and soon disappeared into the night on the streets.
