Zhang Yanxiang smiled, and said to Guo Forging that the Jinwu Courtyard is the government office of the Gongwei Daming Palace, and Si Jinwu is the government office that supervises the Jinwu Courtyard.

"Monitor what?"

"Supervise the official and civilian mansions in the streets of Chang'an to prevent treachery!" Zhang Yansheng said.

In fact, Si Jinwu, that is, Emperor Li Shi, strengthened the children of Jinwu who were originally simply patrolling the streets, with the purpose of training them as a spy agency to supervise the capital.

"Your Majesty has a will, and Si Jinwu will set up a privy councillor, which will be served by the lieutenant Yin Zhizhen; There will be another person who patrols the streets, and you will be responsible for it. ”

Specifically, Guo Forging is the judge of Jinwu, and is not responsible for General Jinwu and street patrol envoys, but directly takes the independent "Si Jinwu" children to collect information, secretly supervise hundreds of officials, and hand them over to the emperor's imperial review.

Guo Forging was secretly happy in his heart, he understood that he could immediately select and recruit more than 100 vigorous and ruthless people from the evil boys in Beijing to serve in the Si Jinwu Office, as long as the eagle and dog work was in place, he would not be able to worry about not being developed.

But who would have expected that the first task assigned to him by Zhang Yansheng on behalf of the emperor was to "collect the fire worship shrine in Xijing, and the nine surnamed Hu Shang, who had previously collaborated with the enemy and aided the rebellion, and all his family property was not included in the official!" ”

"What!"

Guo Forging himself, but he has a great friendship with this group of Hu merchants, when he was still a thief catcher in Jingzhao Mansion and Wannian County, he secretly colluded with Hu Shang and engaged in power and money transactions, which is also the fundamental reason why he can raise thousands of evil teenagers and control the whole Chang'an quality shop, of course, when Guo Ziyi, the king of Fenyang, was still alive, Guo Forging used this relationship with Hu Shang to manage the dark gray money for the Shuofang army (many people in the Shuofang army have various relationships with the nine surnames Hu).

But now the emperor really wants to attack the Hu merchants in Beijing?

"Don't worry, kill the current group of Hu merchants, and soon another Hu merchants will enter Chang'an City, they still have to tie up with you in order to gain a foothold in Shangdu, and even the Wuyi Khan who is now returning to the city will thank you."

Zhang Yansheng is right, most of the Hu merchants in Chang'an City now believe in Manichaeism and support the original Mu Yu Khan, while Wuyi Khan killed Mu Yu Khan to stand on his own, and banned Manichaeism in the territory of Hui, so this group of Hu merchants can neither get the protection of the Tang government, nor the backing of the mother country, which is equivalent to meat in front of the chopping board knife and axe.

What's more, these Hu merchants had ancestral halls, family houses and huge wealth in Chang'an City, and they had donated a large amount of money to the rebels Li Huaiguang, Zhu Zhu, Yao Lingyan, and even Li Xilie's department through Guo Foran, just to change the dynasty and get the support of the new Tang and Tu government.

But they obviously made a mistake in investing, and made Li Shi Neng raise his sword and axe more calmly.

"You are very familiar with this group of Hu merchants, that's why the Holy Lord asked you to do something." Zhang Yanxiang smiled but didn't smile, and there was a faint threat in his tone.

Then Zhang Yansheng said that he would only attack the wealthy Hu merchants and customers, and those who did some small business in the market should not be embarrassed.

"Yes." Guo Forging can only obey his words now.

Two days later, in the early morning, Gao Yue, who lived in Cui's house in Shengpingfang and was about to set off for Xiangyang, was awakened by the shouts and flames coming from the outer wall, he hurriedly put on his coat and walked to the courtyard, but when he saw that the group of slaves left behind also hugged him, he looked panicked for a moment, "Don't panic, except for two people to find out the news, the rest of the people guard the gate." Gao Yue said.

No, the two slaves who went out ran in, saying that the fire worship shrine in Chang'an County and Wannian County (it is difficult for the Tang people to distinguish between Zoroastrianism and Manichaeism, and they all call their temples the fire worship temple) were destroyed by the Jinwu disciples, and many Hu merchants were raided.

"What about people?" Gao Yue asked.

He replied that the sage Son of Heaven ordered that no one should be killed, and all of them would be sent (expelled) out of Chang'an and returned to the territory of Huifu.

Hearing this, Gao Yue raised his head and looked at the column of smoke floating in the distance, his heart was full of mixed feelings, the tide was surging, and finally he couldn't help it-

Poof, laughed.

"Hmph, Emperor Li Shi has finally done a good deed, although the purpose is also the money of the Hu merchants, but where did the money of this group of Manichaean Hu merchants come from? The Eight Achievements were obtained by smuggling, extortion, privileges, and illegal business operations, and the exploitation of my Tang people, and now I have stripped them clean and sent them back to the desert, in fact, they are also told to die-because after they go back, the Wuyi Khan will probably kill them, quickly, quickly. ”

Because Gao Yue will not forget how he witnessed the murder of Atso's mother in Dongshi, and how Hui Su and Hu Shang were arrogant.

After thinking about it, Gao Yue divided the slaves left behind in Cui Zhai into three shifts, holding sticks and sticks to guard the door, and did not let anyone in.

As a result, three days later, when Gao Yue left the house, he was about to go to Dutingyi, and set off to Xiangyang City, when suddenly his boots kicked into a person under the steps.

The man rolled over, got up and muttered two stiff Chinese words, and then stretched out his hand to beg for something from Gao Yue.

Before the slaves drove him away, Gao Yue saw that this person was on the left side, wearing a bearded hat, with a high nose and deep eyes, and he was obviously a Hui species.

"Do you dare to go to the street before the official street drum beats?" Gao Yue was disdainful, he understood that now this group of Hui people had long lost their prestige.

"I don't have any money, I'm hungry, I can't care about the curfew." That time, the man was cheeky and patted his stomach and said.

"Why don't you go back to China with the group of expelled Hu merchants?"

"Hey, it's ...... after returning to China" The man was obviously very scared, and made a posture of killing his head, meaning that they didn't dare to go back, and Wuyi Khan would slaughter them all as Mu Yu Khan's henchmen.

Gao Yue snorted coldly, pointed at the man and said, "Now Honglu Temple and Chang'an Gongfu, don't they still have to give you rations every month?" And come to beg? ”

This time, the man was both greedy and shameless, but also straightforward, he told Gao Yue after making a fuss: "I have been here for a few years, and I have given birth to a large family in Chang'an City, and the rations issued by your Tang family are not enough to eat. ”

"Why don't you support yourself?" Gao Yue means that he can make a living like An Lao Hu'er, selling steamed beards.

"What kind of food is there, the arrows and knives are gone, so I can only come to beg!" Obviously, this time, the men don't even have a basic concept of "self-reliance", after all, in their world, arrows and knives represent all, which can be described as "abundant martial virtues".

As soon as he finished speaking, this man with abundant martial arts was slapped in the face.

Gao Yue raised his foot and kicked him violently, and the man returned to the mouth and nose with blood and rolled out into the street.

"You, you, you!" Then he wiped the blood and pointed at Gao Yue angrily.

Gao Yue sneered, "The Tang family's Hu Cake is not easy to beg, the truth is in these boots." He pointed to his boots, took a few more from the servants, and threw them into the dirt of the street, "But don't worry, sooner or later I will leave you to fend for yourself." ”

That time, the man was busy picking up the dirty steamed beard, and he could only kowtow to Gao Yue a few times, and crawled away.
