Secret guard is the first and only spy agency since the founding of the Dongqian Dynasty, which was established by the Dongqian Taizu and the founding emperor Wu Yuanyin, established in the second year of the Kaiyuan Dynasty, and its establishment has been maintained to this day.

Back then, Wu Yuanyin set up a secret guard, whose original intention was to spy on the rivers and lakes and prevent the people in the rivers and lakes from making trouble. Because Wu Yuanyin was born in the rivers and lakes, he relied on the strong support of the people of the rivers and lakes to start his business, so he understands what kind of energy the people of the rivers and lakes have, if it is good in the prosperous times, the people of the rivers and lakes will not be able to make too many waves, but as long as it is a troubled time, the people of the rivers and lakes can turn the clouds and rain.

Therefore, at the beginning of the establishment of the secret guards, their duties were limited to spying on the rivers and lakes and preventing problems before they occurred.

In fact, Wu Yuanyin was fully capable of leveling the rivers and lakes back then, a martial arts catastrophe was enough to overturn everything, and there was no need to be so prepared, but Wu Yuanyin did not do it for many reasons, either because he did not want to fall into the stigma of treachery, or he understood that the rivers and lakes could not be completely eradicated.

Even if in a certain period of time, there are no sects and sects on the rivers and lakes, and the three sects and nine streams have become good citizens, but it won't be long before the rivers and lakes will naturally form again, and they can't be killed, so they can only be guarded again.

After the establishment of the secret detective, there was a reputation for murder, but for various reasons, it finally lost power.

Wu Yuanyin, who can be called a generation of Tianjiao, died suddenly in the tenth year of Kaiyuan, and only became the emperor for ten years, he was just forty years old that year, and the cause of his death was a mystery, but at that time the world was already peaceful, and his eldest son succeeded to the throne without twists and turns.

Wu Yuanyin attaches great importance to the rivers and lakes, and his children and grandchildren, the emperors of previous dynasties, are not like this.

Although the functions of the secret guards have also been expanded, especially during the Qianli Sect two hundred years ago, the secret guards were given the power to supervise the world, but after that, they flourished and declined.

In modern times, the secret guards have completely lost their power because of traitorous officials, rampant corruption, and lack of attention from the emperor.

Although the Secret Inspectorate still did not have the right to directly interfere with the secret guards, it could supervise them, and if it was found that there were illegal things in the secret guards, they could report to the cabinet or directly to the emperor, and if the secret guards exercised the right to arrest, they also needed to report to the Metropolitan Procuratorate.

That is, whoever he arrests, he must first tell the Metropolitan Procuratorate.

This greatly limits the power of the secret guards.

At present, the secret guard can only be regarded as an investigation department whose power generally depends on people's faces, but one point is still extremely important, that is, the secret guard is the largest intelligence department in Dongqian at present.

But...... In fact, the department is already semi-paralyzed and unable to function well.

Corruption is also rampant in the secret detectives, and the problem lies here, this yamen is already rotten, not only in the Qianjing City, but also in the localities, and also in collusion with local officials.

It would be even more difficult for the secret detectives to investigate that the magistrate was corrupt.

The first person to open the knife in the Yamen of the Zhenfu Division was Wu Guoyu, the commander of the secret guard.

This is Zhou Anding!

Just today, after the establishment of the Zhenfu Division, the empress personally participated in the discussion on the question of who to arrest first, and Zhou Anjin proposed to arrest Wu Guoyu and explained the reason to the empress.

First of all, Wu Guoyu's official title, he is an official of the third grade, and he is considered a big member, but in the entire Qianjing City, it is neither high nor low.

Secondly, although the secret guard is the largest intelligence department, this department is no longer useful, especially for Wu Xukuan, this department has little effect.

In addition, Wu Guoyu took sick leave a long time ago, he was really sick, except for the day when he came to the court to cheer Wu Xukuan, in recent months, he has not been to the court.

He was too sick to take care of things, which greatly diminished his value.

But from another point of view, he is Wu Xukuan's hardcore cronies.

Therefore, it is very appropriate to arrest him, which not only shows the empress's determination to crack down on the traitorous party, but also does not lead Wu Xukuan to rebel directly, after all, arresting Wu Guoyu will not make Wu Xukuan hurt his muscles and bones, but his face is not good-looking.

The empress listened to Zhou An's words and felt reasonable, so she nodded accurately.

She didn't know what Zhou An really thought.

Zhou An didn't want to be the first to arrest Wu Guoyu because of his current situation, there are many traitors who are not as good as him, but Zhou An wants to arrest him first, why...... Naturally, he fell in love with the secret guard!

The foundation of the secret guard is too good!

This is a huge spy agency that used to have the right to supervise the world, and the secret guards used to lay out the whole world, and branches were set up in the entire elder brother state capital of the Dongqian Dynasty, and there were secret guards in any slightly larger county in the whole world.

It's a terrible thing.

Although, now the secret guard has rotted to the bone, and the stubborn disease of corruption has completely ruined it.

However, the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, and the skeleton of the secret guard is still there, it is like a towering tree that was once extremely dense, and now the trunk of this big tree is full of holes, but those branches, those branches and leaves, are still there, and very lush.

This is a spy agency that has existed for more than 300 years, and generations of secret guards have been scattered all over the world, they are either in the light or in the dark, they still exist!

As long as the "backbone" of the secret guard is replaced and the "branch" is reconnected, the secret guard will be able to exert terrifying energy immediately.

So Wu Guoyu must die, die immediately!

Zhou An wants secret detectives!

……

In front of the Wufu Gate, Zhou An looked up at the plaque, his pale face expressionless.

Behind him, the small pavilion that followed him, and the two old eunuchs who were the celebrant also dismounted and walked behind him. Zhou An has always taken the small pavilion with him, and he was transferred to the celebrant supervisor, and the small pavilion also followed.

Now that he goes out to run errands, he also lets Xiaoting follow, one is to cultivate, and the other is that he needs someone to run errands.

And the two ceremonial eunuchs and old eunuchs, all of whom are low-grade and powerful in the evil realm, were sent to Zhou An by Kang Longji, because Zhou An is now in the limelight, and now he has to participate in the handling of the case of the Yamen of the Suppression Division, the offended person must have gone to the sea, and this kind of assassination may happen to Zhou An.

Therefore, in order to ensure Zhou An's safety and strengthen his reputation, Kang Longji gave him two powerful old eunuchs to accompany him and listen to him.

Three hundred brocade guards quickly surrounded Wufu.

Yuan Shengshi had already put away his sword like a sheath, standing side by side with Zhou An, his face was very calm.

Everything is ready.

Yuan Shengshi raised his hand and gestured to his side, and a number of brocade guards stepped forward, raised their feet at the same time, kicked open the gate of Wufu, and the soldiers and generals rushed in.

With the first shout, Wufu quickly became brightly lit.

Great chaos.

Half an hour later, in the courtyard of Wufu, Wu Guoyu's entire family of seventy-six was detained in the courtyard.

Wu Guoyu, who was nearly fifty years old, didn't even have time to wear clothes, only wore a very thin nightgown, in this cold winter, he was held on the snow, he did not kneel and beg for mercy, nor was he sincerely afraid, but scolded loudly, and he had been scolding for a while.

“…… This official wants to show Wu Ge Lao, you rebellious ministers and thieves, lawless, you ...... Stop it...... Stop...... cough, cough, cough ......" Wu Guoyu scolded while coughing.

Jin Yiwei was searching Wufu, rummaging through the cabinets, and many boxes were lifted out of the house and dumped directly in the yard.

"Lord Wu, don't waste your efforts, we are responsible for the affairs of the pacification department, and we are only responsible for the saint, you say that we are chaotic ministers and thieves, I'm afraid it's not appropriate, right?" Zhou An said lightly.

"You! You eunuch, shut up, when will it be your turn to preach with the official! Wu Guoyu pointed at Zhou An and scolded.

Zhou An squinted, and the corners of his mouth hooked up an inexplicable smile.

He suddenly took two steps forward, approached Wu Guoyu, and asked in a dark voice: "What did you just call our family?" ”

"Eunuch, phew!!"

Zhou An looked at Wu Guoyu, slammed it on his waist, and the red sword light flashed out, and instantly converged into nothing.

Wu Guoyu was taken aback.

But he's fine.

Beside him, the head of a middle-aged man who was kneeling on the ground flew out directly, blood spurted wildly from his neck, and the headless corpse flipped out, trembling twice before he didn't move.

First there was silence.

Immediately afterwards, the woman's miserable howl sounded, and the child's cry couldn't be stopped.

"You...... You...... You ......" Wu Guoyu's face turned pale, and he even wanted to struggle to stand up, but Jinyiwei's knife was staggered on his neck, he couldn't get up, let alone speak, his hand trembled and pointed at Zhou An, but his body suddenly surged forward, and a mouthful of blood sprayed on the ground, and the whole person looked like he was about to lose his breath.

The person who was just killed was Wu Guoyu's eldest son, Wu Renqi.

Zhou An is a murderer if he doesn't agree with each other!

Wu Guoyu will be wiped out by the nine clans after all, and there is no difference between killing first and then killing.

"Shut up for our family." Zhou An said crisply.

The courtyard suddenly stopped, and the woman stopped crying, and even covered the child's mouth.

"Be careful what you say." Zhou An looked at Wu Guoyu again, with a chilling smile on the corner of his mouth.

Squeak, squeak, squeak.

With the sound of stepping on the snow, Xiao Tingzi bowed down and walked up from behind, raised his hand to carefully help Zhou An collect the big coat, and said in a low voice: "Father-in-law, don't catch a cold...... Don't be angry, it's not worth it. ”

After speaking, he actually took out a small teapot from his arms and handed it to Zhou An.

The teapot was still warm, Zhou An glanced at the small pavilion, warmed his hands with the teapot in his hand, and then took a sip at the spout.

Comfortable!

"Huh?" Yuan Shengshi's voice suddenly came from behind.

Zhou An turned around to look.

But when he saw Yuan Shengshi turn his head to look in the direction outside the gate, he seemed to have noticed something.

Soon, Zhou An also noticed it.

The ground was shaking, and there was the sound of horses' hooves.

It seemed that a large group of soldiers and horses were running over.

"Who?"

"Jinyiwei handles the case, and the idlers retreat!"

"What are you going to do?"

Shouts of astonishment rang out one after another outside the door.
