Chapter 1: Confiscating property? I'm good at this!
Ming Dynasty, Hongwu period.

Ying Tianfu!
The early morning after late autumn is still slightly chilly.

The mottled walls of the imperial capital of Nanjing did not sparkle under the sunlight, but instead emitted a ghostly and mysterious luster.

The ancient and heavy walls of the imperial capital also have a charming charm.

……

In the capital city full of fireworks.

The crowd was bustling and the vendors' cries were heard one after another.

"Where is this..."

In a shabby old house far away in the downtown area, Ye Xuan woke up slowly. He wanted to open his eyes but found that he was weak all over, his brain was swollen and his vision was blurred.

Smelling the moldy smell in the air, Ye Xuan took a long time to come back to his senses. Then he sat up and looked around.

The first thing that catches the eye is a large red curtain half-closed on both sides, and in the distance is a set of reddish-brown sandalwood tables and chairs, as well as some celadon ink paintings.

This room, decorated with antique furniture and exquisite artworks, looks very retro and gives people a heavy sense of history.

Next!

Ye Xuan recalled that he was originally a social animal enjoying the blessing of 996, but he lost consciousness due to a car accident.

its not right!
I was in a car accident, so shouldn’t I be lying in the hospital ward? How did I end up in this place?

Looking down again, Ye Xuan suddenly found that he was wearing a black shirt with a four-clawed python embroidered on it. The material looked very special.

In his hand, there was also a machete.

"This is... the Flying Fish Suit?! And the Embroidered Spring Sword!"

Ye Xuan realized that the clothes he was wearing and the scimitar in his hand were exactly the same as those of the Jinyiwei who appeared on TV.

quickly!

A strange memory flooded into his mind like a flood.

At the same time, Ye Xuan also understood all this.

He actually traveled through time!!!

"I just got hit by a car. Is it necessary to travel through time?!"

Ye Xuan, courtesy name Zi'an, was from Beijing.

The dynasty he is in now is the Hongwu period of the Ming Dynasty.

After thinking for a while, Ye Xuan looked calm. After all, he might as well make the best of it. Besides, he was alone in his previous life, with no ties or worries, so there was nothing to be nostalgic about.

If I have to say what I am nostalgic about...it's probably because I didn't delete my browser history before I died.

Since you have traveled through time, browser records and such are not important.

Speaking of the original owner, he actually has the same name and surname as me.

This is probably a kind of fate!

According to his memory, the original owner's parents were killed by bandits when he was seven years old. After that, the original owner became an orphan and could only grow up eating at other people's homes. Sometimes he even had to beg on the streets to earn money for food. Since then, he has been living in the old house left by his parents.

As we all know, people who start out without a father or a mother are not simple at all!
As expected, the original owner later became a Jinyiwei and held the official rank of centurion.

That's pretty good.

Thinking of this, Ye Xuan felt a little relieved.

As for the Jinyiwei, everyone has some understanding about them.

This organization was set up by Zhu Yuanzhang specifically to investigate the shameful activities of court officials.

Behead first and report later, royal authority has granted permission.

As cool as you can be!

"Luckily, I'm a member of the Imperial Guards, not an official..."

After calming down, Ye Xuan still felt a little emotional, and couldn't help feeling fortunate that he was now a Jinyiwei.

Because in the Ming Dynasty, being an official was a high-risk job. As the saying goes, serving the emperor is like serving a tiger.

If Zhu disliked someone, he would kill that person without any hesitation.

The workplace at that time was really simple. If you did a good job, you would be promoted. If you did not, you would be fired.

We clocked in together in the morning, but no one was there at noon!

Over time, people in the court were in a panic.

There is no way, the mortality rate is too high!!!
Moreover, Ye Xuan knew nothing about being an official, which might make the emperor even more angry.

In comparison, being a Jinyiwei is pretty good.

At least they don't have to worry about when they will be beheaded, because their job is to capture or investigate those ministers.

Besides, I am a centurion, so I don’t need to work too hard.

This position is like a middle-level leader, with more than a hundred people under him.

Wouldn't it be a great job to not have to worry about anything and still be able to manage a group of people at the grassroots level?
However, there are still some disadvantages. That is, being a Jinyiwei is more offensive to people, and investigating officials can easily lead to resentment.

But at the same time, these officials were also very afraid of the Jinyiwei, because it was like a knife hanging over the heads of civil and military officials, and they didn't know when it would fall.

In a word, the existence of the Jinyiwei would make these officials both fearful and hateful.

"Ding……"

"Congratulations to the host for successfully activating the system of becoming stronger by confiscating the house!"

Suddenly, a cold electronic prompt sound came to Ye Xuan's ears.

system!

Suddenly, Ye Xuan was extremely excited.

He was naturally very familiar with the system, because in the novels he had read in his previous life, which protagonist did not have a system as a golden finger?
And as long as you have the golden finger, reaching the peak of your life is just around the corner.

"System, please introduce yourself first!"

"Okay! This system is just as the name suggests. All the host needs to do is search the homes of every official suspected of a crime and find evidence of their crimes to get the corresponding reward."

That's it!

After listening to the introduction of the system, Ye Xuan suddenly realized.

Confiscating property? I'm good at this!
Moreover, now that he is serving as a member of the Imperial Guard, isn't it necessary for him to do things like raiding houses and conducting investigations?
This system was tailor-made for him.

Moreover, he clearly remembered the four major bloody cases in the early Ming Dynasty.

There must be more than hundreds of people who died.

The number of officials implicated is countless!

If I were to investigate on my own, I'm afraid I don't know how much the reward would be.

This system gives him so much room to play!
"It's daybreak? It's time to go to the Pacification Office!"

Suddenly, a gentle ray of sunlight shining through the window brought Ye Xuan back to his senses from his joy.

Looking out the window, the sun is already high in the sky. It's almost time to report to work.

Ye Xuan now plans to go to the Pacification Office.

The Zhenfu Division is divided into the north and south, and the main duties of each division are also different.

However, nowadays, both the Zhenbei and Beifusi are still uniformly called the Zhenfusi. The name of North and South did not appear until the Yongle period.

As for what the Zhenfusi is, it is a place for investigating cases and conducting interrogations, and is not affiliated with any judicial agency.

Simply put, it is a place equivalent to an office of the Jinyiwei.

This is also Ye Xuan’s job position. No matter what, he has to report there every morning to see if there are any new tasks to be performed.

Moreover, the Jinyiwei may be killed or leave the organization. If you do not report for more than three days, you will be judged as dead or traitor, and a search warrant will be issued directly to your home.

Ye Xuan didn't want to be visited by someone for no reason, so he had to go to the Pacification Office even if he was too lazy to move.
