Chapter 16: The Six Doors

Yue Su's cheating is that this is the end, the big people of the imperial court began to be busy with Fang Congzhe's entry into the cabinet, the big people were busy with big things, and the little people were busy with small things, after the news of Yue Su's promotion to the secretary of the criminal department came out, it really shocked the entire Yanjing Jiucheng.

The most panicked thing is the Criminal Department, no, the current prison of the Criminal Department has begun to get busy.

"Whoever should live in which room, let him move back quickly, and the brethren of the province will do it. After that, the comfortable day is gone, and the table and bed in the prison are carried away! ”…… Today, the chief prisoner personally took the cell boss and the jailer to inspect the cells, saying that it was a neglect of inspection, rather than a move.

There are some prisoners with some backgrounds in the prison of the Criminal Department, and the treatment enjoyed by these prisoners is of course very different from that of ordinary prisoners, as if the last time Yue Su came to see Xiong Tingbi, he found that there were gambling and drinking among them, and there were even women in Zhang Zhongxin's cell.

That time, Yue Su looked at Zhang Yan's face, and did not play the emperor, but just wrote a letter to Wang Zhiyin, the secretary of the Criminal Department at that time. Wang Shangshu was only slightly rectified, and then he went with the flow, until later, Wang Zhiyin was forced to become a minister, and the prison was even more smoky.

But now, Yue Su is the secretary of the Criminal Department and has become a direct leader, whether it is the prison in the prison, or the cell boss or jailer, if you want to keep this job, it is better to be honest. I heard that Lord Yue will take office in the afternoon, God knows if he will remember the last time, come to inspect it, now he is the leader in charge, and there is no sand in his eyes, if he sees it again, he will be unlucky from top to bottom.

Seeing the expression of the prison lord with a dead mother's face, the familiar prisoner couldn't help asking, "Lord Han, what's going on?" Our filial piety is not less, how can you say that you will turn your face? ”

"Outside of Su Yuan, it's not that the little brother doesn't give face, there is really no way, 'Yue Yan Wang' has now received the book of the Criminal Department, and he can come to take office in the afternoon, and when he goes to the prison of the little brother, seeing you like this, even if he doesn't cut me, he has to let me lose a layer of skin, and the big guy has to bear with me." After Han Sijian finished speaking, he shouted loudly: "Hurry up, hurry up, don't rub over, move the beds, tables and chairs inside!" ”

The Su Yuanwai who just spoke, who used to be a member of the Ministry of Officials, was arrested for taking bribes, and because of his activities up and down, he never asked for the guilt, and he bought through the prison and lived an uncle-like life in the prison. At the moment, I am gambling with a class of inmates of a similar grade, but I caught up with such a show, why don't I get angry.

Fortunately, they have now heard of Yue Su's name, and they heard that Yue Su is the secretary of the criminal department, and they can come this afternoon, so they immediately deflated the eggplant, went back to their own rooms, and let the jailer remove the things in the cell, and did not say a word again.

The cell was cleaned up, and the prison secretary took people to carry things and left. Let me explain here that Uncle Zhang Guo had already been released from prison before Yue Su entered Beijing, and when Carpenter Zhu was about to promote Yue Su to the secretary of the Criminal Department, he sent him away.

As expected, Yue Su came to the Criminal Department that afternoon to take up his post. Don't take the Zhongzhi as dry food, when you come out of the yamen, you still worship Yin Shengtang. The matter of Lord Yue's promotion to the Ministry of Shangshu, the officials of the Criminal Department have long known, and this is also a situation. A number of hundreds of officials, such as the left and right attendants, Lang Zhong, Wai Lang, and the director, came to see one after another. Some of these people have never seen them, even if they know each other.

The Yamen of the Criminal Department did not say that the Shuntian Mansion was big, after all, it was only a place to try cases, and it was rarely responsible for arresting people, and there were not as many errands as the Shuntian Mansion. There are two subordinate departments of the Criminal Department, one is naturally the prison of the Criminal Department, and the other is the famous Six Doors.

The six doors are directly managed by the Shangshu of the Criminal Department, and are not deployed by officials such as Shilang, and the office is not in the courtyard of the Yamen of the Criminal Department, but in another courtyard next door.

It is said that the Six Gates were established in the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty, and it was a secret organization specially formed by the imperial court to deal with cases related to national affairs, which was a collection of green forest masters, secret agents, fast catchers and killers. Because of the secret surname of this organization, and because the headquarters hall is open on three sides, facing north and south, southeast and west, with two doors on each side, a total of six, it is called "six doors". The members of the organization also call the headquarters "Six Doors" because of the secrecy of their operations. Because of the strange actions of this organization, the ferocious methods, and the special handling of major cases, the people widely recited the majesty and terror of the six gates. After a long time, the six doors are known to everyone on the rivers and lakes.

However, officials are rarely targeted, and most of the targets are Jiangyang thieves and traitors. After all, you can't rob Dongchang and Jinyiwei of their jobs, Yue Su naturally heard of this organization when he watched TV in his previous life, and now he is in charge of the Criminal Department and has become the chief official of the six doors, so if you don't take a look, wouldn't it be too difficult to say.

But he didn't go to the six doors immediately, but went to the prison of the Criminal Department first, Han Sijiao was secretly glad to be happy, fortunately he started early, otherwise he would have been hit, but he really couldn't eat and walk.

Yue Su checked it and saw that the bad habits from last time were gone, so he nodded with satisfaction. But Lord Yue is not easy to fool, he understands that this may just be a look, to show himself, and when he leaves, he doesn't know what the situation is. Well, don't know, let's see.

After praising the prison twice, Yue Su said to the six gates. I just looked at the roster of the Criminal Department by myself, and I also have an understanding of the director of the six doors. The total head catcher of the six doors is different from the head catcher of other yamen, and even different from the head catcher of the yamen of the criminal department. The head catcher of the Yamen of the Criminal Department has no grade, to put it bluntly, it is the same as that of Shuntianfu, it is not a civil servant establishment, and it can be changed when the leader says that he can change it.

And the head catcher of the six doors, that is a grade, a six-grade martial artist, wants to be replaced, unless a fault is found. Of course, as the secretary of the criminal department, it is still very easy to find fault with a subordinate who is always catching the head. Under the total head catcher, there are six head catchers, and there is no grade in this position, and the leader in charge says that whoever is allowed to do it, can do it.

Coming to the six gates, the news that Lord Shangshu came to inspect had already arrived, and the five men stood at the head of the door and waited, and when they saw Yue Su here, they immediately knelt down on one knee, and the man in the middle of the military general's robe said loudly: "The head of the six doors of the lower official is the head of the Torture Eagle, and the four heads of the door are brought to see the lord." ”

"Subordinates, etc., see your lordship." …… The other four men also said loudly.

is really a martial artist, and his voice is very loud.

Yue Su nodded and said, "You are exempt from courtesy. ”

"Thank you, sir." The Torture Eagle stood up with the four headhunters.

After the five of them got up, Yue Su took a look, and saw that the torture eagle looked like a tiger with thick eyebrows, a bearded face, a thin waist and a thin back, powerful and powerful, and his body was full of heroism, and he was a good man.

The four people behind him were also tall and full of spirit, compared to the head-catching people that Yue Su had seen before.

Before Yue Su came, he already had a great idea in his heart, how could he replace the head catchers in the six doors with two, but when he saw the temperament of these five, he was a little reluctant. Nodding with satisfaction, he said, "What are the names of the four of them?" ”

"Lord Hui......" Xingying immediately turned around and introduced: "His name is Bao Chop, his name is Zhu Po, his name is Zuo Kill, and his name is Shi Keng." ”

"People are as their name suggests, they are very domineering and very good." Yue Su smiled.

"Thank you, Lord Ministry, for the compliment!" The four of them replied in unison.

Seeing this, Yue Su praised again: "It's really well-trained." By the way, Xingying, the headquarters has seen the establishment of six doors, and I remember that it is written on it, and the six doors have a total of one head catcher, and six head catchers, why are there only five of you, and where are the other two now? ”

"Lord Hui......" Xing Ying bowed and clenched his fists and said: "The other two head catchers asked to resign after Wang Shangshu gave office. ”

"Oh, I see." Yue Su immediately understood that the two catchers earlier must have been planted by the former Shangshu Wang Zhiyin, and now that he is gone, the people who installed them will naturally leave with him. Nodding his head, he said, "I've heard the names of the six doors for a long time, and I'm here today to see what it's like inside." Xing Zhutou, please lead the way. ”

"Obedience! Adult please! Xingying agreed, and made a gesture of please. The other four catchers hurriedly flashed to the side, Yue Su strode forward, and Xingying followed behind, and entered the six doors together.

The six doors are different from the general fast capture value room, and there is a hall in it, which is specially used to give instructions and convene subordinates, and the side catches fast and stands guard. There are duty rooms on the left and right, which can be used to rest, and then go back, which is a martial arts field.

As soon as he stepped into the compound of the martial arts arena, Yue Su saw hundreds of men training in groups, and the content of each group training was different. Some groups are boiling their bodies, some groups are practicing archery, some groups are training horsemanship, some groups are arranging troops, and some groups are catching the right moves.

It's the end of spring and the beginning of summer, and all the men are wearing their upper bodies, showing solid muscles, which is not fooling, and requires long-term and hard training. These men are more powerful than Yue Su has seen the errand soldiers before, and even the guards, they can be compared with Li Zhong and Kong Blade, who are good at the rivers and lakes, are these people all catching fast with six doors?

Yue Su didn't dare to imagine it, his footsteps stopped at the entrance of the courtyard, and asked, "They are all your subordinates?" ”

"Back to my lord, it's all six doors of fast catching." Torture Eagle said.

"The headquarters has been an official for many years, and I have seen thousands of people catch fast, but I have never seen such a practice, and even the soldiers in the military cannot be compared. Why are you all practicing with bows and knives and arranging your troops? Yue Su asked faintly.

"If you go back to your lordship, the six doors are all big and important cases, and most of the people to be arrested are Jiangyang thieves and bandits. These people are ruthless and murderous, and they often form groups of people, which is very difficult to deal with. Only by practicing diligently can we shed less blood in wartime. My lord, please look at ......" Xingying pointed to the group of people who were training bows and arrows, and said: "Ordinary hunting is fast and rarely use bows and arrows, and when we go out to operate, if there are many bandits, we can set up an ambush and shoot them with bows and arrows." As he spoke, he pointed to the men who practiced horsemanship, "The horse bandits kill people and oversell goods, come and go like the wind, and if there is no horse kung fu that is stronger than theirs, you can only watch them slip away." Then, he pointed to the men who practiced the battle formation, "If there are many bandits, the only way to avoid the other party from escaping is to form a formation and strangle." Finally, he pointed to the men who caught the right battle, "If there is an assassination or lurking mission, you must have the skills of the green forest to make the opponent unable to defend against it." ”

After saying this, Xingying bowed down and clenched his fists again and said: "My six doors must not only be bound by the laws of the imperial court, but also directly deal with people in the rivers and lakes and underworld gangs, and be familiar with all kinds of skills, so that I can enter the yamen and exit the rivers and lakes." Therefore, those who enter the six gates must learn all the skills of horses, bows and knives, arranging troops, and teaching nine streams. ”
