In a small hotel not far from Niuma City, the curtain kept the cold wind out of the door, and a pot of charcoal fire was lit in the middle of the room, which was not too prosperous, and a little heat drove away the cold. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

There were no customers in the shop, the little guy sat in front of the charcoal basin and took a nap, and the owner was not seen behind the counter.

Around a small table in the corner, two middle-aged men sat opposite each other, their heads together, whispering.

After Zhang Weiji finished speaking, he arched his hand to Lan Yuan opposite: "This matter is not small, and it involves a lot of money. The official family has already sent a message that the money must be recovered smoothly as soon as possible, and there must be no trouble. Please leave this matter to the ban, and there will be a re-report in the future! ”

Lan Yuan's face was embarrassed: "This matter is extremely tricky, you don't have to worry, let me think about it carefully." According to what you said, there are many people involved in this matter, and if the situation is not secret, no one can afford to provoke the forbidden army to make trouble. ”

Zhang Weiji stopped talking and silently poured wine for Lan Yuanyong.

Lan Yuanyong is now in the ** Provincial Escort Class and the Imperial City Division, how many people in the Sanya Forbidden Army are involved in gambling and lending, and he doesn't believe it in his heart.

According to the system, the affairs of the Imperial City Division are in charge of the affairs of the Imperial City Division, and the military ministers and chamberlains are involved, and the chamberlains are required to be escorted or above. Together with the front division of the palace and the introduction of the military chief, he defended the palace and was on duty, and these affairs were generally managed by military ministers. And all the miscellaneous affairs in the palace, such as investigations, interrogations, and purchases, are in charge of the inner servants. The most important thing in the affairs of the Imperial City Division is to be the eyes and ears of the Son of Heaven and spy on the intelligence of the capital. And in this detective mission, the most important thing is to monitor the Sanya Forbidden Army.

Chen Qiao mutinied, Zhao Kuangyin took the front of the palace to check the incident, and almost replaced the Hou Zhou Chai family without blood, and a very important point is that the palace guards are in the hands of the front division of the palace. Zhao Kuangyin had an incident outside the city, and his subordinates Shi Shouxin and Wang Xianqi took advantage of their power to guard the palace with the convenience of the soldiers and horses in front of the palace, and wiped out the royal family and important ministers such as Zaizhi, isolating the inside and outside. After entering the Song Dynasty, in order to prevent history from repeating itself, the front of the palace was moved outside the imperial city, and the palace guards were also divided into three, which were responsible for the front of the palace, the imperial city division and the military head introduction department, which not only restrained each other, but also monitored each other.

Song Taizu once said: "Although there are police in Beijing, there are tens of thousands of elite soldiers in the imperial city. "This is the soldiers and horses under the Imperial City Division. Of course, tens of thousands are exaggerated, in fact there are less than 10,000 people, but they are enough to contain the forbidden army. The forbidden army guards the Beijing Division, and the Imperial City Division guards the Imperial City, and the emperor's personal guards are in charge of the military head introduction division, which is fortified at all levels. Because the forbidden army has a large number of soldiers and horses, its strength has an absolute advantage, and the power of the commanders at all levels is too heavy, and then the Imperial City Division sends people to monitor it.

Lan Yuanyong has a calm personality and a careful mind, some time ago, the forbidden army gathered to gamble and lend money so much, there was no news from the Imperial City Division, he said that no one believed him in his dereliction of duty, so he could only not expose the matter for various reasons.

Silently drank two glasses of wine with Zhang Weiji, Lan Yuan said with his talents: "Official, don't hide it, there are people in the forbidden army who gather to gamble, and I also have some rumors about this matter." It's just that this kind of thing has not been cut off in the forbidden army, drinking and gambling for money is originally the favorite thing for those martial artists to do on weekdays, and forcibly banning it has caused chaos. Although there was a rumor, I didn't send anyone to investigate. I just heard from a senior official that some officers borrowed money from the Jingshi Bank and lent money to the officers and soldiers during gambling gatherings, and this matter is a bit of a big deal. ”

Zhang Weiji sighed: "It's just that the matter is so important that I don't dare to make a rash move, and I must borrow the strength of the guard." If there are still concerns in the hearts of the ban, we can enter the palace together, and take the decree in front of the officials. ”

Lan Yuanyong shook his head: "How dare you disturb the official family for some small things?" When the time comes, it will be our own troubles to blame. ”

"A trifle? The ban still didn't realize the seriousness of the matter. Let's be honest, the money borrowed from the Jingshi Bank in the forbidden army this time is hundreds of thousands of yuan, and it is difficult to say whether there is more than one million. Without this money, many things to be done by the foreign dynasty will only be watched by the officials. If we can't get things done this time—"

Zhang Weiji looked at Lan Yuanyong and shook his head gloomily.

Lan Yuanyong was taken aback: "Although I know that the bank has money, it is too sensational to move hundreds of thousands of yuan at every turn!" Official, aren't you bullying me with big words? With such a large amount, no one in the court can carry it! ”

"If it was before, it would have been appalling if the money was over 100,000 yuan, but now—" Zhang Weiji shook his head repeatedly, "Among the three banks, Jingshi Bank is the worst, and it is not difficult to come up with one or two million yuan." If it is the best Xijing Bank, it can now make up tens of millions of yuan at any time. The world has changed, and you can no longer look at money as before. ”

Lan Yuanyong's expression suddenly became nervous, frowned, and thought carefully. He knew that there were people in the forbidden army who gambled, but this kind of thing has always existed, and in his mind, it would be a lot of money involving tens of thousands of yuan, and it would be a big deal if he got it together, and it was not a big deal, so he didn't pay attention to it. As soon as I heard Zhang Weiji report the number of hundreds of thousands, I was really frightened.

The forbidden army in the capital is only two or three hundred thousand people, and the scale of gambling and lending is hundreds of thousands, and each person has a few runs. How much money do they pay a year? This is to stuff the money and food that has been in hand for most of the year into the gambling hole. Counting the fact that most of the people above it do not gamble, the gambling debts of the officers and soldiers involved in gambling are even more terrifying.

After pondering for a long time, Lan Yuan said to Zhang Weiji: "Big official, this matter is really not small, you can take a break here for a while, don't be in a hurry." In the past few days, I have sent people to the forbidden army to investigate and find out what it is like before making a decision. -- If the official asks, you might as well say it straightforwardly, and the Imperial City Division will not dare to take this risk if it is not investigated. ”

Zhang Weiji arched his hand: "In this case, please ask the ban, I will first collect those loans that do not involve the forbidden army." ”

Lan Yuanyong nodded, his brows furrowed even tighter. If something happens to the forbidden army, the Imperial City Division, which monitors the forbidden army, can't get out of it.

After drinking wine with Zhang Weiji, he called open the small corner door of Ouchi, checked his identity, and Lan Yuan used it into the palace. His father, Lan Jizong, has already become a scholar and has a home outside, and Lan Yuanyong usually does not stay in the palace. Coming back suddenly late at night surprised the soldiers on duty. However, he is in charge of the Imperial City Division, and he can come and go at will, but there are no twists and turns.

Back in his official hall, Lan Yuan recruited his subordinates, and did not say what happened, but just said that he heard the rumor that some people in the Sanya Forbidden Army were gathering to gamble, which caused the army's instability, so that all the people who could be sent out would be sent out tomorrow, and no clues could be missed. In addition, from tomorrow, according to the old system, they will be stationed in Sanya, copy all the documents, and bring the manuscripts back to the Imperial City Division. He also specially instructed that the palace attendants should lead the team and be in charge of it.

At this time, the biggest source of the inner servants in the palace is the old inner servants Sun Yin Bu, who tried Moyi at the age of twelve, and if he was qualified, he would enter the palace three years later. Therefore, the eunuchs of this era were not only able to read and write, but also had a certain level of education, which was enough to be competent for copying and writing. The Imperial City Division's transcription of the documents of the three yas has been a system for a long time, and it was only stopped in the Tiansheng years, and now that the matter is urgent, Lan Yuanyong picked up this system again.

Lan Yuanyong's job is to monitor the Sanya Forbidden Army, and all channels have long been available, so he is very familiar with it.
