Chapter 141 - The Missing Pen Post
In the side hall of the east wing of the Imperial Servant Bureau, the little Belle Ye, who had already been "anxious", loudly urged the guard Mara to hurry up to find the missing pen post style, Zhang Suihan, the boss of Songzhu Zhai, but was stopped by the criminal department behind him.
Hongyi heard that the guest who was retained by himself finally spoke, and first quietly gave Mara an affirmative look, and then hurriedly turned around, with an anxious face, and hurriedly asked:
"Master Tu, this matter must not be delayed! I'm afraid it's too late...... Everything points to disaster! Do you have anything else to teach? ”
Tu Hai looked at Lord Belle's expression, listened to his words, and couldn't help but wonder in his heart - a small pen post, even if it is missing, there are still many yamen in charge, the prince of the Qing Dynasty, Lord Baylor Weishenme is in a hurry to become like this? Even if it's your right-hand man, won't he be so flustered? Is this still the legendary golden crow descending from the sky? Perhaps, this person is called Zhang Suihan, and the matters involved in this person are not trivial?
"Lord Belle, the slave is thinking, this pen post is a person from the firearms battalion under Lord Belle, and he can be regarded as an official of the court, and he disappeared for no reason, which is a big deal. You can first go to the Jiumen Army Patrol Camp [1] Yamen to report the case, and at the same time notify the Five Cities Imperial History Division, and order the inspection of the Five Cities Imperial History and the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division, and conduct a detailed inspection within the Ten Directions! Tuhai bowed down and offered advice.
Hongyi heard this, and praised it in his heart:
The Jiumen Army patrol and arrest camp manages the security cases in the capital, especially in the inner city, and it is the duty of someone to go missing, which is equivalent to the police station in the central area of the capital in later generations.
The imperial history of the five cities, subordinate to the Five Cities Metropolitan Inspectorate, one each of the Manchu and Han dynasties. Kedao is simple to use. Year to year. Take charge of appeasement places and check out the evils. In the tenth year of Shunzhi, it was clearly stipulated: "The imperial history of the five cities belongs to each rate, handles local affairs, rectifies evils, and rectifies customs", and the specific responsibility is to inspect the realm of the ten squares of the Beijing Division, and it can be regarded as the inspector of the Public Security Bureau.
The Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division, with a commander of the six products, is responsible for commanding and taking charge of the security of the capital area, and belongs to the mobile armed Liliang of the Public Security Bureau.
As for the ten squares, it is actually the division of jurisdictions. The specific situation is that "Zhongcheng is divided into two squares: Chinese and Western, Middle East; Dongcheng is divided into Chaoyang and Chongnan two squares; Xicheng is divided into customs outside and Xuannan two squares; The south city is divided into southeast and east squares; The north city is divided into two squares. Each city has a deputy commander of the seventh rank to lead the two squares under it. There is also an unruly official in charge of each square. The deputy commander and the officials were all Han Chinese at the time.
Search for a missing person within the Kyoshi. If the patrol camp, the imperial history of the five cities and the commander of the soldiers and horses of the five cities, as well as the deputy commanders and officials of the ten squares, are all mobilized, and the inner and outer cities are included. It can be said that "the soup does not leak". Either way, there will be a result.
Tu Hai's words. It shows his analytical ability and level of work on the spot!
"In addition, should it be reported to the Five Cities Metropolitan Procuratorate[2] again so that it can arrange the visit as soon as possible?" Tuhai paused slightly. A sentence added.
Hearing this, Hongyi's heart is full of joy! The most critical and most reflective of the level and mind of Lord Tuhai is this sentence! And Hongyi and others are also like this!
The Five Cities Metropolitan Procuratorate is the leading body for inspecting the local security of the Beijing Division, including the Imperial History of the Five Cities, the Soldiers and Horses of the Five Cities and the above-mentioned ten squares, and is also responsible for the "investigation and arrest" of the officials of the Beijing Division! Tu Hai said three vague words: "Is it not", the subtext is-
In case this pen post under your command leaves his post without permission and flees from his post, notify the Five Cities Metropolitan Procuratorate, and you don't have to bear the responsibility for the rest personally. But what kind of yamen is notified, it is even more a science! The yamen of the official department is too big, and if it is really the pen post style who leaves his post without permission, the head of the firearms battalion will inevitably be involved. Therefore, the "small" five-city metropolitan procuratorate is the most suitable.
It can be seen that Tuhai's brain is not confused at a critical time, and there is also a maintenance affection for Little Belle in it!
"That's right! Mara, as Master Tu said, go quickly. Hongyi nodded gratefully at Chong Tuhai, and then ordered Mara.
"Mara guard, stay a little less." After Tuhai finished speaking, he took out his own name card from his arms, personally handed it to Mara, and said: "You take my name card, just say that the criminal department has asked about this matter, and let them all cooperate with you with their hearts!" ”
"Mara, follow Lord Tu's post, go dispatch the people and join us quickly!" Hongyi added.
"Huh!" Mara glanced at Hongyi, got a recurring look, and then took the order.
"Thank you, Lord Tu!" At this time, it was Hongyi's turn to bow deeply.
"It's right for a minion to work for Lord Belle." Tu Hai hurriedly called Qian'er to help him, but he still didn't understand why a small pen post style was so valued by Xuan Ye.
"My lord, now that the matter has come to an end, I will tell you the truth." Hongyi said, pulling Tuhai to sit down with half of his ass, and he stood close to his ear.
"This pen-style Zhang Suihan, although his official position is low, he is only seven grades, but now he is handling a royal case assigned by the emperor! I won't leave my post without permission, I'm afraid it's ......" Hongyi saw Tuhai's doubts, no longer concealed it, and explained with great trust to Lord Shangshu.
"Ah, the Imperial Case!" Tuhai is really surprised!
"Hmmm! Xuan Ye was instructed by the emperor to thoroughly investigate the case! Hongyi took two steps back and replied Lang Lang.
"Minister, the Criminal Department is full of Shangshu Tuhai, listen to the holy oracle!" Tu Hai couldn't sit still anymore, so he quickly knelt down in the space that Xiao Xuanye vacated.
Since it is a "royal case", it is a case, and since it is a case, as a secretary of the criminal department, it is still "heard", so it cannot be left out of the matter. Moreover, when Little Belle Ye said the "Holy Message" at this time, it also implied that he wanted to take the initiative to participate. Not calling oneself a "minion" also highlights the tolerant nature of this matter.
"The emperor said: In the transaction of mules and horses, Korean merchants have been mixed for a long time. It's not that I don't know, but I'm worried that I will appoint the mule and horse tax bureau to conduct a thorough investigation, and I am afraid it will be inevitable. If they send personnel to make secret visits, it is too appropriate to be aware of their behavior, whether it is a Korean merchant who smuggles horses, a horse dealer who sells horses privately, or a derelict official, they will all be on guard, and it will not be easy to investigate thoroughly. The most important thing is not to investigate and prosecute a few small officials of the tax bureau of mules and horses, but to have a thorough understanding of the smuggling of North Korean merchants. Hongyi lobbied Fulin in the Yugong that day. It was replaced by an oracle.
"The Emperor Shengming!" Tuhai: This is a sincere evaluation.
The emperor also said: Xuan Ye is still young, and those traders and officials who have never met will naturally not take precautions. If they pretend to be the children of gentlemen, and then take out a royal horse from the imperial horse supervisor as bait, they will definitely think that they are just young children of rich and noble families, and come out to sell horses for entertainment. Businessmen are mercenary and easy to show their true faces. Hongyi continued to sublimate his words into a holy decree, paused for a moment, and saw that Tuhai did not have the slightest doubt, so he continued:
"The second son of the emperor, Xuan Ye, is the messenger and secretly dispatches. Investigate the case thoroughly. Once there is evidence. It can be notified that the ministry and the institute will handle it in coordination. He preached the word every day, just like me! These are the original words of Fulin.
"The Ministers obey the Holy Decree!"
"My lord, that's all the emperor's edict. Now you know why Xuan Ye was in Luoma City that day, it was so coincidental. was beaten by Sun Gouzi, right? Hongyi helped Tuhai up. While explaining.
"I see! The slave had just taken over the errand of the Criminal Department from Kyaw Lo Bahana a few days ago. I have also heard him talk about Lord Baylor's 'strict governance and love for the people'. What's more, for the sake of the emperor's order, Lord Belle did not hesitate to damage his royal body, and the slave was really admired! Please be worshipped by the minions! Tuhai, who had just gotten up, said that he was about to kneel down again.
"Your Excellency. Aren't we all agreed? That is to say, not vulgar! Hongyi grabbed Tuhai's big hand and said seriously.
This pen-style Zhang Suihan is the key to this. So, let's find him first! ”
"Yes, yes, minions are confused!" Tu Hai blushed because of his "inconsequentiality".
"I'm the one who was flustered, if it wasn't for the adult's words and reminders just now, I don't know how much it would be like at this time!" Hongyi understood Tuhai's embarrassment and tried his best to persuade him.
"Lord Belle, since it has something to do with the North Korean business, those North Korean counselors can't get out of it. Why don't I send troops to the annex of the Huitong Pavilion [3] and ask what is going on! "Tuhai is starting to get into character.
"Your Excellency is very true! However, it is a matter of feudal states, and you should not act rashly. We need to think of another safe way! Hongyi admired Tuhai's judgment in his heart, but he also remembered the aphorism of later generations that "foreign affairs are no trivial matter".
"Another way?" How can Tu Hai compare this point to Hongyi, who has been thinking about it for a long time? This young master actually directed and acted in this "missing case", and he has already thought about the following!
"Adults don't know, Zhang Suihan is actually my meticulous ......" Hongyi looked at Tuhai's surprised expression, and slowly told the ins and outs of the pile of "contracts" in Korean that he had arranged for the clever and clever Zhang Suihan to penetrate into the enemy, pretend to be a horse dealer, and then use the royal horse as bait to deliberately approach the North Koreans and induce the merchants to write down the "contract" in Korean.
"Oh...... Lord Baylor is eloquent, and the slave is high in the mountains! "Tuhai woke up like a dream.
"Your Excellency is excessive. But now calm down and analyze, maybe something went wrong and the matter was revealed. Therefore, I judge that Zhang Suihan should be somewhere in the Huitong Pavilion at this moment, as you said. If this kid has a big life, he should not have to worry about his life, after all, North Korean businessmen are only for profit, and they will not take the initiative to involve murders! "The disappearance drama I played still needs to continue to round the scene!
"Then let's go to the North Korean annex of the Huitong Pavilion to inspect it, and it will naturally come to fruition. It's just this method, famous, and please show it to Lord Baylor! "Tu Hai understands it, this young master has actually been confident for a long time!
"Okay, my lord, in a moment! Little work! Hongyi shouted at the door.
"The minions are here!"
"You hurry up and go to General Ji Kaisheng Ji, Yang Yongjian and Min Xu, the two tributes, please come here!"
"Huh!" Seeing Liang Gong turn around and trot away, Hongyi once again came to Tu Hai's side, sat him back to his seat with both hands, and pretended to be mysterious:
"My lord, do you think this will work......" the two continued to whisper.
[1] The Jiumen Patrol Battalion was set up in the early Qing Dynasty and was subordinate to the Ministry of War. In the thirteenth year of Kangxi (1647), the commander of the Nine Infantry Army was established, and the Manchu ministers were in charge of their affairs. In the thirtieth year of Kangxi (1691), three battalions were patrolled and belonged to the infantry army, and in the forty-sixth year of Qianlong (1781), it was increased to five battalions of patrolling, which was collectively called "Admiral Nine Gate Infantry Army Patrol and Capture Five Battalions Commanding Yamen". At this point, its tasks and establishment were different from those of the ordinary Eight Banners Army stationed in Beijing. He is in charge of the guards, inspections, access controls, night patrols, bans, armor protection, arrests, trial of cases, imprisonment of prisoners, and signal cannons.
[2] The Five Cities Metropolitan Procuratorate was an institution that inspected the local security of the Jingshi. The Qing Dynasty divided the capital into five cities: central, eastern, western, southern, and northern. The Imperial Court assigned the Imperial History to patrol the city, and set up an office to patrol the Imperial History of the city, which was called the "Five Cities Metropolitan Inspectorate", or "Five Cities". Each city has a division of soldiers and horses, and each division is divided into two squares. It is managed by the Imperial Governor of the Five Cities. Responsible for hearing lawsuits, arresting thieves, etc. In the first year of Shunzhi (1644 AD), there were 1 commander of the Soldiers and Horses Division (Zheng Liupin), 2 deputy commanders (Zheng Qipin), and 1 official (not in the stream).
[3] In September of the thirteenth year of Qianlong (1748), Emperor Qianlong ordered the merger of the Huitong Pavilion and the Four Translation Pavilions into the "Huitong Four Translation Pavilions". (To be continued......)
