Chapter 68: Only grasp the first evil, and don't ask the co-ordinators
When Liu He returned to the palace, he immediately ordered the car to be driven into the warehouse, dismissed the witnesses, and closed the palace door firmly.
Then, he made all the Lang Zhong and the confessors anxious, and recited the "Book of Songs" and "Chu Ci" while drinking tea in the Fuyao Palace, which was very comfortable and quiet.
However, Changyi Palace is calm, but Changyi City and Changyi Country are not calm, and it is not an exaggeration to describe it as bloody and bloody.
An Le showed a vigorous and resolute style of doing things, and immediately interrogated those corrupt officials who were confessed by Tian Bu on the spot.
Once someone confesses to the painting, An Le will immediately give Lieutenant Wang Ji an order to send someone to search for Ji according to the map and immediately raid the house.
For a moment, Changyi City was suddenly shrouded in the shadow of swords.
A group of pavilion guards drove out of the lieutenant's mansion and rushed to different corners of Changyi City.
The people on the street didn't know what was going on in the city, and they were already frightened enough to choke when they saw a group of guards walking by, and they ran to their homes.
Suddenly, the city was filled with chaos.
In order to prevent people from taking advantage of the chaos to escape, An Le also ordered Wang Ji to temporarily close the various city gates and alley gates.
Among the many targets, the most important is Tian Buxi's outer house in Shangliulu in Beicheng, where there are not only Tian Buxi's black accounts, but also floating wealth worth millions of dollars.
In order not to make a mistake, An Le sent his most trusted subordinate to Jian Kou, and led a few soldiers to raid this outer house.
Each county and county has a thief who is responsible for catching thieves and strongmen, and the thief is directly under the jurisdiction of the lieutenant.
Therefore, this subordinate is mainly responsible for guarding the security inside the Prime Minister's Mansion, and is more like the chief of the guard.
Although the rank of the lower reaches of the door is only a hundred stones, it is not as high as the rank of the thief Cao Peng and the thief Cao Shi, and the scope of authority is only the prime minister's house.
However, the mode of operation of the administrative system of the Han Dynasty is to order the administration.
The prime minister is also the highest consul of the county, so the size of the power has nothing to do with the rank, but more to do with the decree of the prime minister.
Just like the current subordinate to Jian Kou, the rank is still 100 stones, but because he got the warrant from Anle, he can go to the lieutenant's mansion to order dozens of soldiers.
At this moment, Jian Kou is the embodiment of An Lexiang.
Jian Kou had been a commander in the army of the border county for several years, and he had a bright future, but a few years ago, when he was fighting with a small group of Xiongnu Liukou, he was blinded by a stray arrow, and had to return to his hometown of Changyi County.
coincided with An Le coming here to serve as the Minister of State, and he was also introduced to the Prime Minister's Mansion by Zhang Poji to serve as a subordinate minister.
In the past few years, Jian Kou has done his job conscientiously, so he is deeply trusted by An Le.
This Jian Kou left the Prime Minister's Mansion almost at the same time as Liu He, so when he set off from the Lieutenant's Mansion with his troops, Liu He had just returned to the palace.
It is about four or five miles from the Lieutenant's Mansion to Shangliulu in Beicheng, and it takes about three or four quarters of an hour to walk at the speed of ordinary pedestrians.
However, Jian Kou knew that the stakes were high, so he was in a hurry.
In addition, he was blind in one eye, and he looked particularly terrifying, so the soldiers did not dare to disobey, so he walked fast.
It was only two quarters of an hour before they came to the alley of Liulu in the northern city.
At this time, the turmoil in the city has not yet spread here, and there is still a harmonious and quiet atmosphere in the alleys, so the arrival of Jian Kou and others is still eye-catching.
Although Jian Kou lives in the Prime Minister's Mansion, he has a skill, that is, he knows all the large and small alleys and forks in the city: this is something he has spent several years training.
Jian Kou did not hesitate, and directly led people to Tian Buxi's outer house in full view.
Half an hour later, Jian Kou and the others came to a corner thirty steps away from the target.
In order not to make mistakes, Jian Kou asked several passers-by to confirm.
At this time, the gate of the mansion is tightly closed, and because the main street is far away, the alley is also very quiet, and pedestrians can only be seen occasionally.
It seems that there should be no scares yet.
Then it's much easier.
"Zhao Jia, Wang Ding!" Jian Kou called the two chiefs over.
"Yui!"
"Take your people around the house, block the other three side doors, and kill anyone if they escape!"
"Yui!"
Twenty soldiers followed their respective chiefs and rushed briskly in the direction of the house, and then disappeared into the two-story alley.
Jian Kou silently counted thirty numbers in his heart, guessing that the soldiers were already in place, so he took the remaining two men and horses and walked towards the main gate of the mansion.
When he came to the door, Jian Kou did not let people call the door directly, but leaned against the courtyard wall and hid in the period when the position of the main gate could not be seen.
The door of this house is not thick or heavy, but it is not easy to smash it open.
In order not to startle the snake, you must outwit and not attack.
"Liu Xiang, come here!"
Jian Kou lowered his voice and called the youngest of the four elders.
This Liu Xiang was only eighteen years old, with fine skin and tender flesh, and he spoke softly, only he was not wearing armor at this time, which was specially instructed by Jian Kou when he set off.
Everyone often said that if he dressed up in women's clothes, he would definitely make this woman in Changyi feel ashamed.
However, there is a reason why he can be this chief, don't look at his appearance, but because he has followed his father and brother to shoot geese in the wild since he was a child, he has a hand of archery that pierces the poplar in a hundred steps.
This is very rare in the county, and at this time, he carried an 8-stone bow on his back.
"When you go to call the door, you will say that Tian Buxi was sent by An Le Xiang and is going to another county, so he has to ask his wife to help him prepare some change of clothes."
"Yui!"
Liu Xiang took off the bow he was carrying, handed it to the soldiers behind him, and went to knock on the door.
After just three or four taps, one of the windows on the door opened, and a numb face stretched out.
"What?"
"I am a servant of the Prime Minister's Mansion Shaofu Pavilion, and I was sent by Tian Envoy Jun, and Changyi Minister suddenly wanted to send Envoy Jun to other counties on an errand today, and Envoy Jun asked me to come and get a few changes of clothes."
This reason was a bit hasty, but the servant was not suspicious, after all, he had been in this outer house for seven or eight years, and no suspicious person had ever come to make trouble.
The servant looked at Liu Xiang, nodded and said, "Well, then I'll open the door for you." ”
"Thank you, big brother!"
Then, I heard the sound of the deadbolt being lifted from behind the door.
As soon as the door was opened, Jian Kou gave a loud order.
"Suddenly!"
More than a dozen soldiers rushed up, pushed open the door and rushed in, knocking the slave behind the door directly to the ground.
"Who are you?"
The soldiers ignored them and rushed straight into the courtyard.
The servant didn't know if he was dazed or if he was usually a leader in this courtyard, so he stood up and was about to push Jian Kou.
Jian Kou was blind in one eye, but he didn't lose any of the foundation he had trained in the border army, and he drew his knife and swung it, slashing right on the opposite neck.
Blood spurted, and it was instantaneous.
"The Prime Minister has an order, Tian does not hesitate to deceive the upper and lower, greedy for the money and grain of the king of Mochangyi, the amount is amazing, we are ordered to investigate, only arrest the first evil, do not investigate the co-ordination, if you resist, correct the law on the spot!"
Jian Kou shouted loudly, and coupled with the surging soldiers, the entire mansion was in chaos.
