Chapter 128: Catch the thief and take the stolen goods

Guan Zhuofan believes that Ci'an is the real "virtuous queen". Her virtue is one of the few in the entire history of China.

As a wife, Ci'an tried her best to support the two concubines left by her deceased husband, Cixi, in governing the country; Concubine Li, who protects and takes care of her wholeheartedly, treats her daughter as her own, and even gives the two mothers and daughters super-standard status and treatment. The word "jealousy" is inevitable in a woman's nature, and it seems that there is no zĂ i in her.

As a mother, Mu Zong's trust and love for his mother-in-law far exceeded that of his biological mother.

As the queen mother and empress dowager - many people have forgotten that Ci'an is the highest and last decision-maker of this old empire - she listens to the government in internal and external difficulties, ups and downs, knows people and is good at their duties, and gets along with each other, step by step, the country is in great difficulty, and it develops in the midst of a hundred wastes waiting to be revived, and finally there is a situation of "Tongzhi Zhongxing".

It can be said that the 20 years of Ci'an's reign were the best 20 years of the late Qing Dynasty, at least to reverse the decline and strive to move upward.

In addition, when Ci'an was alive, in addition to trying his best to support Cixi's governance, he also effectively curbed the negative factors in her nature. The state and Cixi herself were able to achieve great achievements during this time, and Ci'an's effective restraint on Cixi was a very important reason.

Guan Zhuofan believes that Ci'an has important historical merits for the country, and the historian's evaluation of her is too low. Her figure, obscured by the praise and scolding of Cixi by later generations and the smearing of various colors, seemed too indifferent.

This is true of the generations to come, and so it is to the people of the time.

King Xuan, Bao Jun and others, look at Ci'an, she is an ordinary, kind, and brainless woman. So. They concluded. Tzu An will definitely be among them.

Unfortunately, I think you're looking at the wrong person, so you're going to have to have a big fight on it.

Of course, if you create a "rumor", the queen mother and the queen mother don't believe it at all from the beginning, that's the most ideal.

Well. How can this be done?

In fact, it is very simple, this "rumor", if it was told by a third party to the Queen Mother, she was shocked, and did not rule out the possibility of doubting the letter; But if it is me or the Queen Mother who takes the initiative to tell the Queen Mother, do you think that she may still have a little belief in this "rumor"?

There will only be righteous indignation against the "rumor-mongers", right?

The "rumors" did not come out, of course I could not take the initiative to spread my "rumors" to the Queen Mother and the Queen Mother - "I dare not listen to the news", I can only do it after the "rumors" come out. But. After the "rumor" comes out, if it has already spread - no matter how big or small. If I tell the Queen Mother and the Queen Mother, even if I am the first person to tell her about this, it will make people feel that they are "forced to do it". Because, if you don't say it, there will naturally be others who will say it.

So, the key to this matter is that at the moment when the "rumor" is born, my person must be there - to be the first audience of the "rumor". At the same time, it is necessary to completely control the further spread of "rumors" in their own hands. In this case, I took the initiative to report the matter to the Queen Mother, so that I would be above board, and it would really be called "dare not be overwhelmed".

This thing seems a bit awkward to say, but in fact, it can be explained in one sentence: I must be the one who "catches thieves and takes stolen goods".

Guan Zhuofan said: "Posting this headless unveiling post is probably also the work of the 'Juxian Pavilion' - strengthening the control of the 'Juxian Pavilion'!" You go back and tell Zhang Chenglin to call the action team to be on standby 24 hours a day. Well, it's best to be in the ...... where the 'Jugenkan' is located Oh, Pen'er Hutong - rent a house, and the squad will live in some people to fight for the moment, and lose no time. ”

The "action team" refers to the "action team of the Military Investigation Department", which specializes in carrying out "difficult action" tasks such as assassination and arrest of "extremely dangerous persons" by the Military Investigation Department, and the person in charge is our old acquaintance, Zhang Chenglin, the number two person of the former Guards Regiment. After the establishment of the Military Coordination Office, Guan Zhuofan cut his love and transferred Zhang Chenglin to the Military Coordination Office as the captain of the action team. Zhang Chenglin is skillful and ruthless, and he and Chen Yicheng complement each other.

The reason why the action team is to stay next to the "Juxian Pavilion" is because only in this way can the people of the "Juxian Pavilion" make a move, and the action team can post it as soon as possible, follow them all the way to the scene, and then "catch the thief and take the stolen goods".

Otherwise, because it is impossible to determine where the people of the "Juxian Pavilion" will post the headless post, and this place, if it is far away from the station of the "General Grain Station Office of the Songjiang Army of the Imperial Xuan Army in the Beijing" on Chaoyangmennei Street of the Military Adjustment Office, the spies will definitely delay the time and will not be able to "catch the thief and take the stolen goods."

The people of the "Juxian Pavilion" are, after all, outlaws with kung fu, and the envoys who arrest them are not suitable for ordinary spies.

Chen Yicheng said: "Yes." The house in Pen'er Hutong, because we want to monitor the 'Juxian Pavilion' nearby, we have already rented it, and the shuai is relieved. Instead, I want to ask the marshal for two warrants, one for the general soldier of Alhatu, who commands the yamen of the infantry army-I want to ask Mr. A to send a few capable brothers to run errands with the action team of the Military Dispatch Department; The other one is ready for use - when the team is on an errand, if there is any obstacle, take it out and use it again. ”

Guan Zhuofan understood Chen Yicheng's intentions: the Military Coordination Office is in Beijing, after all, there is no law enforcement power on the table, and the people who want to pull the military commander of the yamen to act as a cover; In addition, the scene of "catching thieves and taking stolen goods" may not be in the jurisdiction of their own people, and there is a possibility that the arrest will be interfered with at that time - if so, it is necessary to move Zhuofan out of the "town".

Guan Zhuofan nodded and said, "You are very thoughtful, I will write the warrant now." Well, when the time comes, if someone really dares to shoot without opening their eyes, you can shoot and don't have any worries - harbor the suspect of rebellion, and kill him! ”

"Yes, I will obey the orders of the commander!"

"Also, I have to write a letter to King Rui," Guan Zhuofan smiled slightly, "You say, how should I write this letter?" ”

"I think that the 'catch the thief and take the stolen goods' that the marshal said is not only the policy of handling the 'exposing case', but also the policy of handling the 'drug case' - if Ao Bao has not committed the crime, he will be arrested, and he will not admit it to death. This person is a filial son, in order not to implicate the old lady, even if he is tortured, he may not be able to get a real confession. Also, even if he recruits, the 'rut' side can be said to be Ao Bao's bloody mouth, and it is not easy to sit on the 'rut' in this case. ”

"Well, then let's wait for Ao Bao to take the medicine. But ......"

"Don't worry, King Rui's family, you don't need to take the slightest risk - the dishes made by Ao Bao, everyone just don't eat them."

"Okay, that's it."

After a pause, a strange smile appeared on Guan Zhuofan's face and said, "There is another matter." The two suspects in the Anhui military reimbursement case, one is Li Zongshou of Anhui Grain Road, and the other is Song Zunbang, the prefect of Fengyang, and the criminal department has passed around, but the case has not been passed on - Song Zunbang simply can't find anyone! Hehe, I and Fang Ziying, the left waiter of the Criminal Department, are also old friends, and the old friend is in trouble, so I can't help but help him - this Song Zunbang, the Military Adjustment Department will help find it! ”

"Huh!"
