Qin Dewei glanced at Little Brother Xu strangely and urged: "Let's go! Why are you so stunned?"
Xu Miaojing said hesitantly: "You, you are like this. Isn't it wrong to lie to your sister like this?"
Qin Dewei shouted: "Who lied to your sister? Let's go investigate the case!"
Xu Miaojing seemed to be enlightened and said repeatedly: "I understand, I understand! We are just going to investigate the case!"
He, Xu Miaojing, has no other good qualities except that he is obedient! He does whatever he is told!
"It's too expensive to go to a place like that to investigate a case!" Xu Miaojing said worriedly.
Qin Dewei: "It doesn't matter to us whether it's expensive or not! No need to spend money!"
Xu Miaojing believed it. She heard that her brother-in-law never spent money when he was in Nanjing...
Excited and a little nervous, Xu Xiaodi said sheepishly: "Then it's not a good idea for us to go together, right?"
Either you handle the case or I handle the case, why would we go to find someone together?"
Qin Dewei: "..."
Suddenly I felt that Xu Xiaodi had misunderstood something?
Although Qin Dewei knew that Ren Xiaoyi lived in the West Courtyard, it was a very broad place name for the area, similar to the name of Qinhuai Old Courtyard.
So someone still needs to lead the way, but after arriving at Xiyuan Hutong, I found that it would be no problem even without Xu Miaojing to lead the way.
Although the architectural style is different from that of Qinhuai Old Courtyard and Nanshi Building Street, Qin Dewei still found a familiar feeling.
The business model and atmosphere here are generally between the cultural-oriented Qinhuai Old Courtyard and the commercial-oriented Nanshi Building Street, or the two models are mixed together.
The alleys are full of people trying to make a living. Just find one and they will take you where you want to go.
Although it was still early for nightlife, several people were already sitting in the front hall of Ren Xiaoyi's house.
This is also normal. The person who can be sent to seduce Qin Dewei will definitely be of good quality, and the business will naturally be good.
When Qin Dewei and Xu Miaojing, two and a half young men, came in, the old madam was not surprised. There were too many dandies in the capital.
She greeted her professionally and enthusiastically: "The girls are still dressing up. The two junior officials will sit down and drink tea first."
However, a closer look made the old madam a little confused. The two young men did not look like they were from a wealthy family, but they were accompanied by four tall servants. It was strange.
"No!" Qin Dewei refused and said, "We are here to do something for Ren Xiaoyi! Take us to see her!"
Where should we sit? What should we drink? Of course Qin Dewei understands the rules. As long as he sits down, he has to pay for tea!
He didn’t have any other intentions. If he paid for the tea at the door, wouldn’t he be taken advantage of?
Doing something? The old madam was stunned for a moment, and then said with a smile: "Whether it's to do something for my girl, or to do something else, now I have to sit here and wait."
The people who were already sitting in the front hall looked at Qin Dewei with contempt. People who do not follow the rules are not welcome anywhere.
Qin Dewei asked Xu Miaojing: "Did you get any certificate? Show it!"
Xu Xiaodi shook his head blankly, what is the certificate?
Damn it! Qin Dewei is speechless. Even the government officials know that when doing errands, you need to get a ticket! Otherwise, you will be beaten to death without any reason!
You, Xu Miaojing, claim to be seconded to handle the case, but you don’t have any evidence in your hand? Can you be more amateurish?
What sins did you commit in your previous life, and why does God always punish you for being a novice!
Xu Miaojing was also aggrieved. Eunuch Qin just announced the secondment and then allowed them to report to Lingji Palace, the temporary office location, when they were free. Nothing else.
Qin Dewei was even more speechless. Is there something wrong with the eunuch's brain? What can he do if he goes to a martial arts school to find a bunch of novices?
Forget it, fortunately I never expected to be a novice. Qin Dewei rummaged around in his arms for a long time and took out a list.
Then Liangming said to the old bustard: "This is the certificate signed by the Minister of Punishment! I will come to see Ren Xiaoyi to inquire about the matter!"
This kind of certificate is similar to the county government ticket, which indicates the matters to be done and the deadline, and also has the seal of the Ministry of Punishment.
Generally speaking, it is impossible to fake it, or in other words, few people dare to do it openly like this. As we have said before, anyone who steals or pretends to be an official seal will be executed!
Xu Miaojing was stunned. He remembered that when Qin Dewei came out of the prison, he went to talk to Wang Tingxiang for a long time.
Is it just to get this certificate? To do (free) things (prostitution) without spending money. Is that so?
The old madam was also surprised. Are you serious? But this will affect the business too much.
The prime time at night has been wasted on you. Are you responsible for the loss? Besides, who knows if you want to take the opportunity to have sex for free?
The old bustard was experienced and calmly pointed at everyone in the hall and said with a wry smile: "Why didn't you two servants come earlier?
You see, some people have been waiting for a long time. They are all decent people with status, so we can't let others wait in vain.
If you forcefully jump in line, others will be dissatisfied, and I'm afraid it will affect the official business of the men on duty."
Qin Dewei glanced around and asked the old bustard casually: "Who is dissatisfied?"
Immediately, someone complained and said in displeasure: "How dare you, a mere official from the Ministry of Punishment, be so domineering and disrupt order at will!"
Qin Dewei looked and saw that this man was a scribe in his thirties. He asked tentatively: "Looking at this gentleman's appearance and demeanor, could he be an official?"
The man sternly replied: "Whether or not you are an official has nothing to do with you!"
Qin Dewei rummaged around in his arms for a long time, and finally took out a slip and said to the scribe: "This is the driving post from the Metropolitan Procuratorate. It is covered by the General Constitution, Customs and Defense, but the name is still blank!"
The official document used by the Metropolitan Procuratorate to summon officials is called a driving notice, and the certificate used by the Jinyi Guards to take someone is also called a driving notice, which generally means the same thing.
When Xu Miaojing saw this, she almost knelt down.
It’s really not that bad, brother-in-law, you’ve worked too hard to do something for nothing (prostitution) without spending any money!
Also, where did this blank driving post come from?
Then Qin Dewei held up the driving post and continued to say to the scribe: "If you dare, please state your name! I will fill it in for you right away!"
The scribe scratched his head and was about to say something, but was quickly stopped by the person next to him. Don't be stupid!
Qin Dewei shouted: "If you are an official, why are you having fun in the flower streets and willow lanes! Don't you know that the newly appointed Vice-President Huo Tao of the Metropolitan Procuratorate is about to rectify you dissolute officials!"
The scribe and his companion stopped talking. Qin Dewei said to Duan Qing: "If this person is nagging again, follow them to confirm their identity! Then fill out the driving certificate and send it to Huo Fuxian!"
After finishing the explanation, Qin Dewei said to the old bustard: "Who else is dissatisfied?"
The guests in the hall were silent, and no one was stupid. How could it be so simple for someone who could produce a certificate issued by the Minister of the Ministry of Justice and a stamp of the Zuodu Yushiguan for driving at the same time?
It's not uncommon to see domineering people, but it's really rare to see people with such technical skills.
If all the dandies talk about procedures like this, why worry about the Ming Dynasty failing to cure us!
The old bustard is still calm. The full name of their Western Courtyard is Jiaofang Si West Courtyard. It is also a state-owned industry. It is not that they do not have strong backers!
Otherwise, there are so many powerful people in the capital, and if everyone takes advantage of their power to have sex for free, who can continue to do so?
I only heard the old bustard saying to Qin Dewei: "There are state laws and business rules. We Lehu are all under the jurisdiction of the Jiaofang Department of the Ministry of Rites, and we have our own rules.
In order to prevent evil people from taking advantage of the girls, if someone from the outer yamen wants to find a girl to run an errand, they must go to the Jiaofang Si Yamen Office for questioning, or ask officials from the Ministry of Etiquette to come with them."
Without saying a word, Qin Dewei put his hand into his arms again and touched it.
The old bustard really wants to slap Qin Dewei's hand away, you've had enough!
Then Qin Dewei took out a list and showed it: "The Ministry of Rites issued a stamped certificate, specifically authorizing me to interrogate Ren Xiaoyi!"
Everyone: "..."
How many official documents are you carrying on your horse? From the Ministry of Punishments, the Metropolitan Procuratorate, the Ministry of Rites, and what else?
Is this a new way? It’s a long time coming!
Xu Miaojing thought she knew Qin Dewei very well, but she discovered tonight that she still knew nothing.
His values have been shaken. Could it be that the legend of relying solely on talent without spending any money was deliberately marketed?
