Chapter 71: What is the crime

There was a special system of giving wardrobes in the Ming Dynasty. Although the symbolic meaning of giving wardrobes is more representative, it represents a kind of honor. The wardrobes are divided into several types, namely, the python robes, the flying fish, the ox to fight, and the qilin.

Python robes are generally only given to the royal family and first-rank officials. As for the flying fish, most of them are the Shangshu or the commander of the Jinyiwei, followed by bullfighting and Qilin robes.

The clothes that Hao Fenglou wore were the legendary Qilin suit. It was red in color, with a diameter of gauze, gold-colored embroidered persimmon stalks over the shoulders. The divine beast rusted on the clothes looked like a dragon but not a dragon, which was very abstract, but the texture was excellent and thin as gauze. It didn't feel much when worn on the body.

It turned out that the so-called extra dress was this Kirin suit, and Hao Fenglou couldn't help but smile that was roughly 'I understand'.

Although the Qilin suits are usually given to officials of the fifth and sixth ranks, the Qilin suits are actually more rare than python robes and flying fish suits. The reason is ridiculous, because the emperor is surrounded by important officials, such as those royal families, whether princes, princes or dukes, the emperor often gives a python suit. It can be said that everyone has a share and is not deceived. As for the flying fish suits, the same is true for all. However, all important officials, whether Xie Jin or Ji Gang, wander around in front of the emperor every day. Some people wear flying fish, but some don’t. When the emperor saw it, he thought of it and said no.

This flying fish suit is sure to be delivered to your home. However, there are few people who are given out of this bullfighting and Qilin suit. After all, the emperor has not had much contact with low-level civil and military officials. Even if they are given, it is a gift from the Ministry of Rites or the corresponding yamen. It is not a royal gift, so it is naturally not their turn to send out the bullfighting and Qilin suit. Therefore, the situation in the early Ming Dynasty was that there were not many flying fish in the capital. Although there were not many flying fish as many as dogs, there were only a few people wearing bullfighting. As for Qilin suits, even if they were on their fingers, there were not a few.

Hao Fenglou is wearing a Kirin suit now, which is very noble. In fact, the style of this Kirin suit is similar to that of a python suit and a flying fish, and the cloud patterns are the same. Except for the background color is bright red, not yellow, if you don’t find it carefully, even a Kirin rusted on the clothes is not much different from a Panlong. The only difference is that the legs are longer, which is very frightening.

Hao Fenglou knew it well and didn't say much. He thanked Sanbao and then left the palace.

He rushed back to Nanzhen Prefecture Office. There was still a solemn and murderous aura outside Nanzhen Prefecture Office, and dozens of lieutenants lined up in a row.

Liu Tong, the commander-in-chief, was full of anger at this time. The Jinyiwei was rebuilt. Liu Tong was the commander-in-chief and was in charge of the Nanzhen Prefecture Department. There was a big tree behind him to enjoy the cool air. Originally, the superior instructed him to try his best to cultivate his own power in the Jinyiwei, and at least he could compete with Ji Gang.

Although the Jinyiwei is called a personal army, it has long become a hot commodity in the eyes of many bigwigs because of its special nature and transcendent status. The commander, assistant magistrate, even thousand households in the garrison have become the targets for many people. For example, the commander Ji Gang has unclear relations with the King of Han, and Liu Tong naturally has his backer.

It is precisely because he has a backer and has mastered the laws and regulations within the Jinyiwei that although Liu Tong is only the fourth person in the Jinyiwei, his strength is quite strong. Many Jinyiwei thousands of households secretly sent him a secret message. Liu Tong also understood in his heart that the reason why these people were afraid of him was simply because they controlled the supervision of the Jinyiwei and held the power of life and death within the Jinyiwei, so some people sold themselves to surrender.

But now, a hundred households dare to be so arrogant and domineering, and they break into the royal palace to cause trouble, but they dare to say anything to themselves, such as not regretting it. This is simply crawling on their heads and shit, which is tolerant, and who is intolerable? If this matter is spread, who will look at them in the future?

However, when His Majesty summoned Hao Fenglou, Liu Tong was very depressed for a while. At this time, he had nowhere to vent his anger. Naturally, he brought up Wu Tao and Zeng Jian, the chief banner of the Donghuamen Hundred Houses Office, to interrogate, declare their crimes, and enforce family laws.

"You are so brave that you dare to break into the palace. It's simply outrageous. I want to ask who is leveraging your courage and who is instructing me?"

These words were mixed with a lot of resentment and asked to vent their vent. They were extremely strict. Even the stationed gangs in the hall never saw such strictness as adults.

Wu Tao and Zeng Jian knelt in the hall and kept saying, "Sir, please spare me!"

Liu Tong sneered and said, "I asked who the entourage is and what are your plans. If you look at him, don't blame me for stripping you."

Liu Tong's intention is very obvious. He asked for confession first. As long as the evidence is conclusive, it is best to pull out Hao Fenglou. At that time, no matter who the person behind Hao Fenglou is or what kind of favor he has received, he will naturally have a headache if he handed over the confession himself. After all, this is a serious crime and is definitely not a joke. If you really want to protect it, no one can save it.

Wu Tao swallowed and spit, hesitated, and said with difficulty: "This...this..."

Zeng Jian was righteous, afraid that Wu Tao would ‘confess the crime’, so he hurriedly said, “Sir, we are not being instructed by someone, but we have the fate of the Beizhen Prefecture Office, and investigate the matter..."

Liu Tong was furious and clapped the table and said, "Come on, slap your mouth!"

Several strong men stepped forward, one of them grabbed Zeng Jian and slapped him hard.

Zeng Jian was beaten so hard that he burst into tears, but he was extremely tough and shouted: "Get good, fight well!"

"Test again!" Liu Tong raised his eyebrows and tried to kill.

Seeing this, Wu Tao hurriedly said, "You can't beat you anymore, you can't beat you anymore, I'll give you a humble explanation, I'll give you a humble explanation."

"Okay, you say it!" Liu Tong narrowed his eyes and looked at Wu Tao with murderous intent.

Wu Tao said: "Sir, it's actually a villain who is pursuing the rebellion. He happened to encounter a suspicious person who plagues into the Han Palace. Seeing this, Hao Baihu was afraid that the thief would be violent to His Highness King, so he tried his best to rush in with his brothers, and then just ran into His Highness King. Hao Baihu didn't recognize Mount Tai, and mistakenly recognized... mistakenly recognized..."

Liu Tong was not stupid at all. When he heard this, he immediately realized that he had been fooled by someone. None of the two general flags wanted to deceive the whole thing! He was even more angry and sneered: "Come on, come on, peel them off, beat them to death and feed them to the dog!"

A group of strong men felt Liu Tong's anger. Generally, Nanzhen Prefecture Office implemented family rules, and although they could teach people to survive but not to die, not many people said they wanted to be beaten to death like this. Everyone was silent and knew that the adults were angry and did not dare to neglect them. They quickly dragged Zeng Jian and Wu Tao out.

Wu Tao and Zeng Jian quickly shouted for justice and said, "We are just following the orders, so please check it out."

Liu Tong's face was cold, motionless, and a trace of joke flashed across his eyes.

At this moment, someone suddenly shouted: "What crime have they committed? Please give me an explanation!"

Liu Tong was stunned, looked up and saw that Hao Fenglou had already walked in.

Liu Tong was confused. This was the Nanzhen Prefecture Department. Even if a hundred households were to come in, they needed to inform them in advance. But why could this person come in so arduously?

However, after seeing the clothes on Hao Fenglou, Liu Tong understood that this was a gift of Qilin clothes, which many people might not recognize, but Liu Tong knew that this kind of imperial clothes was extremely rare, and it was very similar to flying fish and even python clothes. Such people were at least in charge of the entire capital, and entering the Nanzhen Prefecture Department was enough to be unobstructed.
