Chapter Ninety-Six: Bloody Secret Guards
Jin Yiwei's first shot can be called steady and ruthless.
Wu Xukuan also seems to have only two options left, either directly rebel, or just hold back and don't speak, there is no third way to choose, after all, the Wu Guoyu case is ironclad evidence, if you want to overturn the case for him, I am afraid that it will not be overturned, and it will cause a commotion.
And there is no doubt that Wu Xukuan will not rebel because of this, and Wu Guoyu is not worthy of letting Wu Xukuan make such a big move.
Wu Xukuan didn't hurt his muscles and bones because of this, and he could even say that he didn't have any losses, but his face was not good-looking, and he would be panicked, and the secret guards were already useless, and it didn't help much for Wu Xukuan's seizure of the country.
He was not even as useful as Li Hubiao, the commander of the Xicheng Forbidden Army.
On the day of October 28, the Jinyi guards were all dispatched in the afternoon and began a large-scale arrest operation, Wu Guoyu had already been sentenced to justice last night, and the people arrested today were all people related to the secret detectives.
For example, Wu Guoyu's deputy in the secret guard, that is, the commander of the secret guard, as well as the thousands of households, hundreds of households, and general banners below, and even the spies and informants at the bottom, have all been arrested.
There is almost no arrest of this scale against the same department in the history of Dongqian, because even if you know that all the people in this yamen are corrupt, it is impossible to arrest them all together, you have to do it step by step, step by step, or this yamen will be abolished, and there will be no one in charge of affairs.
It's like there are corrupt people in the court now, even if there is no Wu Xukuan, the empress can't let people arrest everyone at once.
Because the consequence of this is that the entire imperial court will cease to function.
But this time, Jin Yiwei did so much.
It can be said that it was the "bloodbath" of the entire secret detective guard, and basically abolished this yamen.
Zhou An knows how to read people's memories, and because he has won all the trust of the empress, this matter is basically that Zhou An will arrest whoever he wants, and he doesn't even need to report to the empress, Zhou An only needs to tell Yuan Shengshi, and Yuan Shengshi will basically not object.
And such a vigorous arrest operation was also planned by Zhou An.
If it was aimed at other yamen, maybe it really couldn't be done, but the secret guard is different, this is a half-crippled secret agency, even if the secret guard is directly withdrawn, all the personnel are dismissed, it will not affect anything.
So it's no problem to arrest as many people as you want.
Beginning on the afternoon of October 28, the arrest operation lasted several days.
There are too many people to arrest, too many people to be tried, and they have to confiscate their family property and track down those who have absconded in fear of crime.
Before you know it, the time has reached the third day of the winter month.
That is, the third day of November.
It's noon.
In the middle of Qianjing City, Tunxi Street, which is only two streets away from the palace.
The Yamen of the Secret Detective Department is located on this street.
A few days ago, the Jinyi guards came, and today they came again, and the entire secret security division was surrounded, and the brocade guards swarmed in...... At present, the Yamen of the Secret Investigation and Security Division, the managers have basically been arrested, and the rest are some low-level clerks, who are also panicked when they see Jinyiwei coming again, but they don't know who Jinyiwei is going to arrest today.
However, Jin Yiwei is not here to arrest people today.
It's to dig something!
From the day Zhou An saw Wu Guoyu's memory, he knew that he had also buried the stolen goods in the Yamen of the Secret Investigation and Security Division, but he did not immediately let people come to the Yamen of the Secret Investigation and Security Division to dig up.
Because he also knew that there were not only stolen goods hidden here, but also other incriminating evidence, evidence that was enough to implicate many people.
Zhou An was worried that digging up the things here first would lead to chaos within the secret guards, causing some people to flee, which would cause unnecessary trouble for Jinyiwei's subsequent arrest operations.
That's why he waited until today, and when the people who should be arrested were almost caught, he came to take people to dig things.
Jin Yiwei first took out a few boxes under the floor tiles of the main hall of the Yamen of the Secret Investigation and Security Division.
After that, in the small garden in the backyard of the yamen, some things were dug up.
In addition, hidden stolen goods were found in the stables and weapons warehouses of the Yamen of the Secret Investigation and Security Division.
Even in Wu Guoyu's office study, there are stolen goods.
The Jinyi guard secretly investigated the yamen of the guard division and turned it upside down.
This Wu Guoyu is also big-hearted, and he hides more things in the Yamen of the Secret Detective Department than in his own home. But from another point of view, this is also his smart place, hiding here, even safer than hiding in his house, because if he is arrested for other things, he will definitely be raided, but no matter what, he will not raid this yamen.
What's more, hiding in the yamen, even if it is discovered, Wu Guoyu can also be said not to be his own, after all, this yamen is so big, there are many people in the office, and anyone can hide it.
It was just after noon.
The Yamen of the Secret Detective Division, the entrance of the lobby in the front yard.
The yard is very clean, although it has been snowing for a long time a few days ago, but it has not fallen for a few days, and the snow has been swept away.
The boxes that had been dug up had all been moved and placed at the door, and some of the boxes had been opened, containing not only gold and silver, but also porcelain from the previous dynasty, antique paintings and calligraphy, jewelry and other things.
Jin Yiwei was busy before and after.
Zhou An was also rummaging carefully.
He was looking for something very, very important, these things were related to whether Zhou An could successfully make the secret guard work again, although he looked at Wu Guoyu's memory, but the soul knowledge technique was not a detailed memory, only an important memory, and it was likely that he only watched a fragment.
So the current situation is that Zhou An knows that those things are in the Yamen of the Secret Investigation and Security Division, but where they are hidden is not reflected in Wu Guoyu's memory, and Zhou An does not know.
As for the secret guards and the others...... These days, a lot of arrests, trials, and killings have been made, and Zhou An has read the memories of many people, but they don't know where this vital thing is.
This thing was set at the beginning of the establishment of the secret guard, and it can only be controlled by the commander of the secret guard.
Seven or eight brocade guards brought some more boxes over.
Zhou An looked at the style of these boxes, which didn't look like they were dug out of the ground, so he looked up and asked, "Where did you find them?" ”
"Back to my father-in-law, it's in the secret compartment of the study, and there are some scattered things, we found other boxes and packed them." A black-faced brocade guard hurriedly replied to Zhou An's words.
"Hmm!" Zhou An nodded, raised his hand and motioned for them to get busy, then walked over, opened a few boxes, and looked at them.
Some calligraphy and paintings, jade, and some books.
Zhou An picked up a book casually, opened it a few times, threw it back, picked up another one, and flipped through it again......
Yuan Shengshi was rummaging not far away, taking a casual look, and when he saw that a new box was moved, he also came over, just like Zhou An, he only took books to read, and he seemed to be looking for something.
Zhou An flipped through one book after another, and there was nothing in one box, so he flipped through another.
Yuan Shengshi picked up another ancient book in another box, opened it to look at it, his eyes were fixed at once, he was attracted, and began to read it seriously, slowly flipping through it.
Zhou An, who was rummaging on the side, glanced at Yuan Shengshi.
Yuan Shengshi noticed Zhou An's gaze, and also glanced at Zhou An, and then closed the ancient book, shook the ancient book at Zhou An, showed Zhou An the words on the cover, and said, "I want to take it." ”
There are a few words written on the cover of the ancient book - Sword Interpretation Thirteen Styles!
"Swordsmanship?" Zhou An asked.
"Hmm." Yuan Shengshi responded with a nasal voice.
"Take ...... casually" Zhou An acted very indifferently, although these are all stolen goods, but as far as Yuan Shengshi is concerned, he took martial arts cheats in the confiscated stolen goods, even if this matter is known by the empress, the empress will not take it to heart.
Yuan Shengshi is a sword idiot, this is something that everyone knows.
Although Zhou An has the right to supervise Jinyiwei, he is not the kind of rigid person, and he still wants to have a good relationship with Yuan Shengshi.
Seriously, if Zhou An had the opportunity, he would like to give Yuan Shengshi a few swordsmanship cheats.
It's always good to pull together.
"The box we turned over just now also has a few swordsmanship cheats in it, although they are all rough skills, I'm afraid they won't get into General Yuan's eyes, but if General Yuan likes it, just take them all." Zhou An pointed to the box that had been turned over before.
Yuan Shengshi didn't say a word, so he went to the box to rummage.
I felt that Yuan Shengshi was not looking for some amazing swordsmanship cheats, he was just collecting some special swordsmanship cheats that he hadn't seen before, maybe he wanted to get inspiration from those cheats and seek a breakthrough.
He is a sword cultivator, and whether his swordsmanship can enter the realm again is related to whether he can enter Tiangang.
Zhou An began to turn over the box in front of him again.
Keep rummaging to the bottom.
He pulled out a few books with no words on the covers, and he opened one of them, and after reading only one page, he was shocked.
Got it!
That's it!
Secret Detectives are placed in the roster of all spies in the world!
Zhou An immediately rummaged through all the books of the same style, with no words on the cover, from under the box, there were more than twenty books, and he quickly opened a few more, and only read the first page.
Yes!
That's it!
