The Jinyiwei led by Xie Ying were carrying out a special campaign to crack down on gangsters and young hooligans in the capital. They patrolled the capital after daily drills, regardless of day or night. Sometimes when Ryan Cui came out of the Imperial Academy or returned from Li Xueshi's house, he would run into the Jinyiwei on patrol.
I even met Xie Ying a few times.
In the past, Xie Ying would have pretended not to know him and turned away. But now they had already established a friendship in front of the two scholars and the attendants, and this relationship might be reported to the emperor at any time, so there was no need to pretend to be unfamiliar. Therefore, when they met on the road several times, not only would Ryan Cui immediately greet him with "Master Xie", but Xie Ying would also bow, with a faint smile, and gently respond with "Mr. Cui".
In front of a street full of people, that's it.
Xie Ying still wanted to avoid suspicion. On the contrary, some of his officers who had met Ryan Cui saw that he was so well-read that the emperor noticed him, and he could be so close to the Jinyiwei. They all thought that he was grateful and had good character, and were willing to talk to him more.
