Exercise? What a ghost drill.

There were so many troops, hundreds of officials from the imperial court, and even three cabinet members, all of whom were the most powerful.

With so many people added together, you tell me it's a drill?

But as it turned out, it did seem like a drill, albeit a little too unreliable to watch.

As more and more people leave, no, it should be said that they left their cells and returned to their posts, which confirmed the reason for the announcement.

During the exercise, wages will be paid as they are paid, and no one day's wages will be deducted.

Most of them were let go after being questioned by officials from the Criminal Department or from the Wuhou Institute.

And the question to ask them is simple, what was your previous job on the construction site? Where were you at the time of the incident? Who can testify?

As long as you can answer these questions and find someone who can testify, you can leave your cell and go back to work, all the same.

For several days, almost seventy or eighty percent of the workers who were arrested left the city, and the remaining people were fewer and fewer, but the clues obtained were negligible.

Or rather, there are no clues at all.

Of course, this result was expected, because Zhang Xingcheng did not go in the direction of a possible breakthrough at all.

"Tomorrow we will start interrogating those masters!" Listening to the report of his subordinates, Zhang Xingcheng nodded secretly, and couldn't help but show a smile on his face.

"Deli, are you sure?" Fang Xuanling was a little puzzled.

He has seen all the actions in the past few days, but it is not his duty to interrogate, although he also has some understanding of Zhang Xingcheng's methods, and he can see it clearly.

But after all, it was not through his own hands, and with years of work, he had never been involved in this aspect, and at this time, Fang Xuanling's heart was still a little lacking in confidence.

Mainly as more and more people are cleared of suspicion, but there are almost no clues they have caught, and this pressure is still very high.

"Don't worry, I don't dare to say anything else, but the old man is still very confident about the case. In recent years, the Criminal Department has not made much progress in other aspects, but the means and ability to handle the case are beyond even the expectations of the old man. Zhang Xingcheng laughed, not worried.

"You say that's really that useful?" Fang Xuanling was a little suspicious, or uncertain.

"On weekdays, this is indeed a waste of money and labor, but we are the Criminal Department, and everything must be prepared, and we can't prepare when we need it." Zhang Xingcheng nodded and expressed his affirmation without hesitation.

"If it's really feasible, after returning to Chang'an this time, the old man is going to ask His Majesty for ......" Fang Xuanling nodded.

The matter is very simple, as early as before, Zhang Xingcheng also said this in private.

However, most of the cabinet members feel that it is not too helpful, but will affect the work below, and at the same time, the personnel are already relatively tight, which from time to time to transfer people away for a period of time, does not it aggravate the work of others?

Regarding this point, Zhang Xingcheng did not refute it, but he also did not approve of their ideas.

These people's ideas are nothing more than two points, insufficient manpower, insufficient funds, and do not want to waste money in this area.

But Zhang Xingcheng doesn't see it that way, in terms of funds, he can find a way to save to the greatest extent.

As a result, there is a system that the Criminal Department is now implementing.

The system was inspired by the Ministry of Development, which has developed different development strategies based on the different conditions of each region, and at the same time, if there is a new development, it will also organize personnel to go to the places where it has already developed.

As a result, Zhang Xingcheng asked each county to regularly send two people to the state capital to attend the meeting every year.

The content of this meeting is to exchange with each other about the cases they have encountered in the past year, and how they have done when they have handled them. How do you think about certain situations?

To put it simply, this is an internal system exchange meeting, where everyone speaks freely and tells their own case-handling methods for others to refer to and learn, and at the same time, other people's case-handling ideas and methods can also be learned.

What? You say hiding smuggling?

If you can hide it, then please feel free to do so, this exchange meeting is not only a meeting to exchange experiences, but also a pre-examination for the selection of future officials.

It can be said that if the person who has made a big show in this conference is still stable enough in the next year or two, then congratulations, you will definitely be promoted.

Hiding in front of an official position? It's not your selfishness, it's your own future.

Then, each state capital sends a team of five people to communicate with several neighboring states between state capitals, the process is the same, the difference is that at this time, there will be some strange cases for them to solve.

Then there was the exchange meeting of the entire Datang, and the entire Datang was divided into ten regions by Zhang Xingcheng, and each of the ten regions sent a team of ten people to Chang'an to participate in the national exchange meeting hosted by the Criminal Department.

If you perform well at this time, it means that you have entered the sight of the Criminal Department.

Nowadays, there are almost forty or fifty talents selected through this method in the criminal department, and each of these has a unique method of handling cases, which is different from ordinary people's way of thinking.

At this point, it is basically certain that Zhang Xingcheng's method was successful, but unfortunately, he did not encounter any major cases and did not give them a chance to get ahead, so so far, this method can only be implemented within the Criminal Department.

And this time, Zhang Xingcheng brought all the talents selected by the Criminal Department from all over the years to come, and these people had already discussed the whole way on the way here, and finally came up with this plan.

Yes, in one day, the idea and general direction of the entire case were determined, and even some details were formulated.

And in the past few days, they have further perfected these details.

Now that the whole plan is almost underway, they are about to get to the point, and if they can succeed, in the next two or three days, they will be able to catch the assassin who instigated and acted that day.

……

The next morning, it was just dawning.

The camp was once again busy, with fewer and fewer people being brought back from the outside, and more and more people leaving their improvised cells and returning to the construction site.

Everyone is wondering, is this a drill or not?

A group of soldiers was escorting a ragged, dirty worker toward the tent where he was interrogated, and had just approached the tent when he heard a frantic roar coming from the tent to which they were going.

"That's what you say? Do you know how much criticism the old man endured when he brought you up? How many people did you say good things about? Do you know how many times the old man has been pointed at his back and scolded? Now that's how you repay the old man?

Let me tell you, not only the old man now, but also Fang Xuanling and Cheng Zhijie are very dissatisfied with the process and results of this exercise.

Don't you know how many resources and manpower have been used for this exercise, and how many things have been affected?

Give you two more days, just two days, if you can't get a satisfactory result, you don't have to go back to the criminal department this time, where did you come from, go back, the old man can't afford to lose this person, one by one, he usually blows the clouds and clouds, and when he gets down to business, he will drop the chain for the old man......" Zhang Xingcheng walked out of the tent with a flushed face, gently glanced at the suspect who was about to be interrogated, and left here without looking back.

Of course, Zhang Xingcheng only left after seeing the soldiers standing behind him nod.

That's right, it's all acting, and the suspects in today's trial are important people, and if there's even the slightest clue, it's in these people.

For this reason, Zhang Xingcheng did not hesitate to scold those interrogation officials in public, and all this was the result of pre-arrangement.

"What do you see? What to stare at? What are you grinning at? Tell you, if Lao Tzu gets out, you all have to follow Lao Tzu to get out, what? Not convinced, right? Believe it or not, now Lao Tzu will let you get out? Do you really think that Lao Tzu, like you mud-legged people, came from Tianshe'er step by step? Even if Lao Tzu loses this official position, he will still be more comfortable than you when he returns home......" The sound of cursing came from the tent again.

Obviously, this is the person who was cursed by Zhang Xingcheng before, and he reprimanded his subordinates again.

Hearing these conversations, Zhou Tai wanted to laugh a little, but in the end he held back, because he didn't know what was going to happen to him next.

Although the case-handling staff was trained like a dog, Zhou Tai was very happy, but what about ......

Just after training them, it's their turn to be judged, will these people take all their anger out on themselves?

Before, I don't think anyone was punished, right?

Zhou Tai comforted himself silently in his heart.

Yu Jin's face was full of depression and unhappiness, at this moment, he had just been scolded by his boss, and then he was ridiculed by the soldiers below.

Although everything was acted, how could there be any happy expression on his face?

It has to be depressed, it has to be unhappy.

Well, in fact, Yu Jin was also chosen by thousands of people, because others don't seem to be as perfect as Yu Jin, so perfect that even he can deceive himself.

"Name, place of origin, what?" Zhou Tai was escorted in, Yu Jin sat on the chair with a blue face, and asked directly with anger, without the slightest concealment, just directly told the other party, I am very angry, don't mess with me.

Listening to Yu Jin's questions, as well as Yu Jin's attitude and way of asking, Zhou Tai smiled slightly in his heart, this person is not to be afraid, he is just a wine bag and rice bag......
