Jin Yi Wei also known as the Embroidered Uniform Guard, was the imperial secret police that served the emperors of the Ming dynasty in China. They once, for a period of time, had the duty of monitoring people’s actions, documenting the words and behaviors of those under surveillance, to be used as evidence in court.
