Chapter 383 Petition Mailbox
In order to facilitate espionage intelligence, Liu Bei planted a detailed work in Luoyang City very early.
Xu Shu told the official about the fake identity of the fine work.
The official sent someone to investigate and verify, and when it was confirmed from Xizuo that Xu Shu was indeed a businessman who came to Luoyang City to do business, he went through the formalities and let Xu Shu and the others leave.
Xu Shu walked out of the gate and looked at the heavily guarded courtyard behind him, his heart was heavy.
"Mr. Xu!"
The person in charge of coming to greet Xu Shu and brought them to the Yuelai Inn.
This inn is a normal store on the surface, but it is actually Liu Bei's stronghold in Luoyang City.
"Shopkeeper Liu."
Xu Shu smiled and greeted the person in charge of the stronghold, Mr. Liu.
"My subordinates meet the military advisor."
Shopkeeper Liu hurriedly saluted Xu Shu.
"Just call me Mr. Xu in the future, don't be so polite, so as not to expose your identity."
Xu Shu admonished.
"My subordinates understand."
Shopkeeper Liu welcomed Xu Shu and his party into the quiet courtyard of the backyard.
Xu Shu asked Shopkeeper Liu about the current situation in Luoyang City.
Shopkeeper Liu smiled bitterly,
"Mr. Xu, at present, we don't know anything about Luoyang City."
"Oh? Why is that? ”
Xu Shu said in surprise,
"You've been lurking in Luoyang for four or five years, why don't you know anything about the situation here?"
Shopkeeper Liu sighed and said helplessly,
"There is a department in the imperial court called the Military Intelligence Department, Mr. Xu should know about it, right?"
"Yes."
Xu Shu nodded.
Of course, he knew about the famous Military Intelligence Department.
"According to the information we have, the Military Intelligence Department is divided into two departments: sword and shield.
The sword was responsible for spying on intelligence outside the jurisdiction of the imperial court, while the strong shield was responsible for the administration of the imperial court. ”
"The spies in the Jiandun department are pervasive, and more than 100 of my development have been offline, all of which were scrapped last year.
If it weren't for the fact that his subordinates saw that the situation was bad and cut off contact with other downlines in advance, I am afraid that I would not be able to see Mr. Xu today. ”
Xu Shu gasped.
The strong shield department of the Military Intelligence Department under Hua Xiong's name is so terrifying!
"Mr. Xu, if you want to assassinate Hua Xiong, there is really nothing your subordinates can do."
Shopkeeper Liu spread his hands, looking helpless.
Yes, Xu Shu ventured into Luoyang City this time in order to assassinate Hua Xiong!
After the capture of Xuzhou, Huaxiong's power became more and more huge.
Liu Bei, Cao Cao and others were very worried, and they were repeatedly humiliated by Hua Xiong, so they would consider using assassination.
After many discussions, Liu Bei and others decided to send Xu Shu.
First, Xu Shu has never met with the people around Huaxiong, and he is a fresh face.
The second is that he practiced martial arts hard when he was young, and he also assassinated enemies for his friends, so he had experience in this area.
So, Xu Shu led a team of people, pretending to be merchants, and came to Luoyang City.
Xu Shu's brows furrowed, and his heart was a little heavy.
He didn't expect that the security in Luoyang City would be so tight.
"Shopkeeper Liu, how many people do we have now?"
"Returning to Mr. Xu, count the one hundred and twenty people brought by Mr. into it, a total of one hundred and fifty people,"
Huaxiong is in Luoyang City, not to mention that there are 50,000 horses.
One hundred and fifty men against fifty thousand horses is tantamount to striking a stone with an egg.
How can this be done without a numerical advantage and without specific intelligence?
Xu Shu thought about it for a long time, but he didn't have any good ideas.
Forget it, you can only take one step at a time.
……
The next day, Xu Shu took only two entourages and wandered around Luoyang City.
I have to say that Luoyang City is the cleanest of all the cities Xu Shu has ever seen.
The streets were spotless, not to mention garbage, not even a single fallen leaf.
From time to time, people wearing yellow clothes embroidered with the words "Luoyang Sanitation" passed by Xu Shu.
According to Xu Shu's observation, these people should be in charge of the sanitation in Luoyang City.
They all had strange-looking tools in their hands, and any garbage on the road was immediately removed by them.
Xu Shu raised his eyes and saw that the people who came and went were neatly dressed and had happy smiles on their faces.
The city's business districts are thriving, and there is a lot of shouting and shouting.
The living area is quiet, planted with colorful plants, and even has a few lakes for people to relax and enjoy.
Xu Shu walked around and was stunned by what he saw.
"I really don't know, who designed such a city?"
This happened to be heard by an old man nearby, who laughed and said,
"You're not a local, are you?"
Xu Shu said strangely, "How do you see it?" ”
"Who of the locals doesn't know that this city was designed and built by King Wei himself and under the command of the workers."
The old man said proudly,
"There is a spring in the city that comes from outside the city, and you can drink it whenever and wherever you want.
There are also sewers to facilitate the discharge of sewage by the people in the city. ”
The old man told him about the various advanced facilities in Luoyang City.
Xu Shu was stunned when he heard this.
"The most important thing is that these facilities don't cost money. Including the house, it was all given to us by King Wei! ”
When the old man said this, his face was full of awe and admiration for Huaxiong.
After saying goodbye to the old man, Xu Shu was a little distracted.
If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes and heard it with his own ears, he wouldn't have believed that all of this came from Huaxiong!
But Hua Xiong, under the description of Liu Bei and others, is a heinous traitor!
"Strategist, are you alright?"
Two attendants said with concern.
"I'm fine."
Xu Shu waved his hand.
At this moment, several passers-by hurried away.
As they walked, they said,
"The petition mailbox set up by King Wei is open today, let's hurry over and join in the fun."
"It's too late, I guess there will be no place."
"Yes, yes, yes."
Their words made Xu Shu a little curious.
Petition mailbox, what's that?
He took two followers and hurriedly followed behind them.
Soon Xu Shu came to a street.
There were no shops doing business on this street, and there were more than a dozen imperial departments scattered all over the street.
At this moment, the street is surrounded by people on the inner and outer three floors.
The innermost is a high platform.
A man in an official uniform held a wooden box and said in a loud voice,
"Ladies and gentlemen, today is the day to open the petition mailbox.
After our verification and investigation, the officials who handled the household registration were slacking off on the people! ”
Xu Shu inquired about the people next to him, and finally understood the identity of the official and what the so-called petition mailbox meant.
It turned out that Huaxiong had set up a number of petition mailboxes in Luoyang City, but whenever officials committed illegal acts, the people could write letters to report them.
And the one responsible for handling the petition mailbox is the Supervision Yuan, which was only established by the imperial court.
It is similar to the Imperial Observatory, which is responsible for impeachment, and is dedicated to overseeing the wrongdoing of court officials.
