Hanzhong Mansion, Jinyi Wei Thousand Households

After Rover's death first, the two hundred households in the inner city here began to fight for power, both of them have some background behind them, and the hundred households in the outer city are just decorations, and only the two of them are really capable.

Therefore, when Guo Yong came to the Qianhu Institute with the team of Nanzhen Fusi, he found that there was no one at the door, the door was open, and except for a few scribes, there was no one who could not find a Jinyi captain.

Guo Yong caught a scribe and inquired carefully, only to learn that the two hundred households had divided the power and were now searching desperately outside.

It is said that Chen Nianji, the son of the Qin State of Qin, was arrested by bandits, and the Jinyi Guard, Hanzhongwei, and the government of Hanzhong Mansion have all gone out of the city to search, and they have not returned for two days.

From the mouths of the scribes, Guo Yong confirmed the shocking scene they saw at the city gate.

The one who robbed Chen Nianji was Liu Xin, who was disguised as a Jinyi Wei Qianhu.

The sea fishing document has been issued to the entire Shaanxi Province, Guo Yong does not believe that Liu Xin will do such a thing, but people swear that so, and also issued a formal document, this matter cannot be questioned by Guo Yong.

Everyone couldn't find Jinyiwei's words, so they returned to the post station, and in the post station, Liu Xin appeared quietly.

"Your Excellency!" Guo Yong, Liu Fu and Ding Mingfu saluted in the room, and after getting up, Guo Yong couldn't help but ask Liu Xin.

After Liu Xin listened to Guo Yong's confusion, he told him in detail about the clues he had secretly found here, as well as Luo Fuxian's betrayal, the attack on the farm, and the appearance of the Northern Barbarians.

Liu Xin now needs to get the trust of his subordinates, here in Hanzhong Mansion, because of Chen An's relationship, he has already issued a sea fishing document to him, if he doesn't explain it clearly, if Guo Yong and they don't trust him, the rest of the matter will be difficult to handle.

"My lord, we naturally trust my lord, but according to what my lord said, that Luo Fu first colluded with Chen Nianji, and the clues found here by Jinyiwei in Hanzhong should be useless!" Guo Yong concluded.

Liu Xin is very satisfied with Guo Yong's attitude, and although Guo Yong and several others are a little less capable, they are experienced and can help a lot at critical moments.

"The matter of clues can only be drawn slowly, you first negotiate with the prefect of Hanzhong Prefecture." Liu Xindao.

"That's all there is to it." Guo Yong and the others bowed their heads, they first came here, many things were not cleared up, the person they wanted to investigate had been robbed by Liu Xin, but Liu Xin said that it was done by the Northern Barbarians, and Guo Yong and the three of them naturally trusted Liu Xin more.

After Liu Xin left, the three of them glanced at each other, and they all saw the horror in each other's eyes.

His own thousand households have really done another big thing, but this matter must be extremely careful, after all, Chen Nianji has the relationship of Qin Guogong behind him.

However, at this time, the worries in the hearts of the three were quickly resolved.

Early the next morning, there were a series of major events in Hanzhong Prefecture, but the prefect of Hanzhong Prefecture, Zuo Jianzuo, who had been sick at home, signed the document at the prefect's yamen.

Immediately afterwards, notices were posted in the streets and alleys of Hanzhong Prefecture, and the soldiers of Hanzhong Mansion blocked the city gate under Zuo Jian's orders.

The people in the city were panicked at first, thinking that something big was going to happen, but after reading the notice, they learned that the prefect of Hanzhong Prefecture colluded with Chen An, the governor of Hanzhong Prefecture, to smuggle official salt, and was convicted and imprisoned!

At the same time, a large number of government soldiers raided the Chen Mansion, and also raided the mansions of more than a dozen officials. These people are all in cahoots with the Chen family.

Chen Nianji, who was robbed by thieves, was also convicted of oppressing the people, selling official positions, eating empty salaries, and so on. Liu Xin's sea arrest document was cancelled directly after Chen Nianji was convicted, and Chen Nianji's wanted notice was posted with it.

The city did not know what was going on outside the city, and the military camp of Han Zhongwei changed almost at the same time, and the Northern Military Governor's Office sent a prosecutor to come to Han Zhongwei directly with the tiger charm and seize the military power of Banwei.

Ban Wei was revealed to have taken advantage of his position, and in the past few years, he took away 127 war horses from the military horse farm for reasons such as illness, death, and disability, and more than 12,000 taels of silver! The Northern Army Governor's Mansion directly took Banwei and went back to investigate.

This news was passed back to Hanzhong Mansion by someone with a heart, and Chen An was still trying to die in vain, but the moment the news appeared, his heart was like ashes, his own protective umbrella was gone, and how could he fight with others.

The prefect Zuojian's repeated operations shook the Hanzhong Mansion, and everyone was surprised to find that the prefect was hiding so deeply, and this operation directly shuffled the Hanzhong Mansion up and down.

I also heard that the prefect directly put the evidence on the table of the prefect's yamen, and anyone who disagrees with the case can go and check it.

As a result, the evidence was kept for a whole day, and not even a single person dared to approach it.

Liu Xin, who received the news, hurried to the post station, and a staff member under the command of the prefect Zuo Jian was already waiting here.

Before coming, Liu Xin first went to the secret investigation team to get the secret stronghold, but the people there went to the empty building, leaving only a secret letter, after reading, Liu Xin understood everything.

Senior Brother Chai found an abnormal point from the intelligence collection of Hanzhong Mansion, and then speculated that someone was deployed in Hanzhong Mansion, and its intelligence force was far stronger than that of the secret investigation team, so the secret investigation team withdrew first to prevent being defeated by the people behind the scenes.

This feeling made Liu Xin feel familiar, and when the imperial capital investigated the Imperial Horse Supervision case, Yuan Dongxiang felt that there seemed to be a bigger and stronger black hand behind this case.

Secretly came to Hanzhong in order not to be discovered by the people behind the scenes, but in Hanzhong, an unknown force appeared, and even the secret investigation team had to avoid its edge.

In Liu Xin's memory, in the world's intelligence organizations, the covert investigation team can be ranked in the top five! The first to bear the brunt is naturally the official Jinyi Wei and Dongchang, the Wuhou of Wudi City on the rivers and lakes is the latecomer, with the appeal of the unification of the rivers and lakes, the Wuhou of Wudi City has become the first intelligence organization in the rivers and lakes.

Other intelligence organizations may come from the civilian clique, the nobles, or the royal family.

But whoever is in power has his own source of intelligence, and these sources of intelligence are woven into a network and become an intelligence organization.

In fact, there are several intelligence organizations in Hanzhong Mansion, Jinyiwei has almost become a waste because of Chen Nianji's riotous operation, and the focus of Dongchang here is the military horse farm, which means that the official attention to Hanzhong Mansion is actually lacking, of course, this is also related to Chen Nianji's identity.

Outside of the official, the strongest intelligence ability is the Holy Sect's secret investigation team, Wuhou of Emperor Wu City, and as for the evil sect, the secret sons are basically active in the south.

Could it be the Marquis of Emperor Wu City?

But if it is Wuhou, what is their purpose, there is no reason for the Jianghu people to meddle in officialdom. Unless the people who are laid out here are people in the officialdom with the background of Emperor Wu City.

But the people of Emperor Wu City are basically in the military general system, what is the purpose and benefit for them to do this.

Liu Xin diverged his thinking, but he still had no clue.

Coming to the post station, the staff of the prefect Zuo Jian were still a little surprised by Liu Xin's appearance, after all, Chen An had been spreading that it was Liu Xin who robbed Chen Nianji.

And after seeing Liu Xin's appointment documents, this staff member felt that he had insight into the reasons behind this matter.

"So it was Liu Qianhu who found out about the collusion between the Chen family and the salt mine, but Rover first took refuge in the Chen family, destroyed all the evidence, and also framed Liu Qianhu for you. The prefect was also aware of the presence of the Northern Barbarians, but these Northern Barbarians were only active outside the city, so the Prefect did not take any measures. ”

Liu Xin looked at this staff member, and then at Guo Yong, Liu Fu and others, who were of the same age, suddenly felt that his subordinates were not fragrant.

And Guo Yong and others felt that their adults looked at them strangely, that kind of gaze was like a child who looked at his own family.

"Ahem, in fact, it's not true, Chen Nianji was indeed arrested by me!" Just when this staff member was complacent, thinking that he had analyzed everything, Liu Xin's words made his jaw drop in shock.

Guo Yong and the others didn't know that Liu Xin had arrested Chen Nianji, and at this time the expression was similar to that of the staff.

In the stunned eyes of several people, Liu Xin recounted that he happened to rob Chen Nianji from the Northern Barbarians.

The staff member said that he wanted to report back to the prefect, and Liu Xin told him that Chen Nianji was locked up in a safe place and could come and pick up people at any time.

The staff left in a hurry, leaving behind Guo Yong and the others, who were still in shock.

Liu Xin looked at Guo Yong and the three of them, and couldn't help but have the meaning of comparison in his heart, so he opened his mouth to test a few people, and by the way, he also brainstormed:

"Behind this prefect, there should be someone laying out. Otherwise, for no reason, these pieces of evidence would not have appeared together, and the Chen family and their henchmen would not have been conclusive at the same time. Tell me, what is the purpose of the person behind this scene, and what is the identity of the person who may be? ”

No matter how sluggish Guo Yong and the others were, they could also find that this matter was unusual, so they opened their mouths one after another.

Guo Yong first analyzed: "My lord, there must be someone behind this prefect, as far as we know, Chen An actually has no ability. He trusteth on his Son for everything, and the Father is precious in Son. Therefore, the subordinates felt that the person behind him should be aimed at Chen Nianji. Based on this, his subordinates boldly deduced that the person behind the scenes might be Qin Guogong's political enemy! ”

Guo Yong's judgment has some truth, if it is Qin Guogong's political enemy, a certain nobleman among the nobles, then it is possible that he has an intelligence organization that is more powerful than the secret investigation team.

Ding Mingfu then spoke: "My lord, my subordinates have some other ideas. You must know that the Xungui Group has always been a group, and now the two largest Xungui groups in China are Wu Guogong and Qin Guogong.

But the current situation is that Wu Guogong took the initiative to abdicate and transfer power and the entire Wu Guogong group to Qin Guogong.

Unless it is Wu Guogong behind him, but this is seriously inconsistent with his voluntary abdication, and it is completely unnecessary! ”

Liu Xin bowed his head, expressed his agreement, and motioned for him to continue.

Ding Mingfu continued: "In fact, if the target is Qin Guogong, then what the people behind the scenes are asking for must be the rights of the military, and now there is another party in the whole country that has been coveting the power of the military for a long time, the imperial family!" ”

"Since the restoration of Emperor Wuyang, the imperial family has been greatly weakened. The national policy of hereditary succession is certain, and the royal family is not even as noble as ordinary honors. And there have been cases in the past where the royal family is in charge of military power. Therefore, the subordinates thought that it might be a certain royal family who secretly arranged against the Duke of Qin. ”

Ding Mingfu's inference is actually very likely, because now is the time for the Duke of Wu and the State of Qin to take over the military power. Although there are factions among the nobles, and they are also competing for those military shares, after all, this is only an internal strife, and the fat water does not flow into the fields of outsiders. There's no need to do anything like that.

And if it's royalty, it means that the two major factions are going to start fighting. And in the real battle between the two major factions, it is very possible to use a pawn like Chen Nianji to sacrifice the flag. It not only folded the face of Qin Guogong, but also was equivalent to a declaration of war.

Liu Fu was the most calm, and after listening to the analysis of the two colleagues, he finally spoke: "My lord, Lao Ding, Lao Guo!"

I also have a guess based on the judgment of the two here.

If it is the royal family, the royal family alone will not be able to compete with the noble group that holds the actual military power, and if there is no other force behind this, it is estimated that no one in the current royal family will have the courage to do so.

So I think the civilian clique may be involved as well. What civil officials are best at is making small moves, and they have always been masters of balance. Now that Wufu is in charge, Wenchen can only say hi, stay in his own one-acre and three-point land, even if the scolding is earth-shattering, how can Wufu care. The balance between the DPRK and China is actually unbalanced!

If you want a real balance, if you want to make the civilian clique stronger, then helping the royal family fight for military power is a good way to do it.

Now the situation of the Zhengyang Dynasty is that the military is dominant, and the military power is supreme. At the local level, almost all of the highest power holders such as provincial governors are military generals. One is that he can only deter one side if he has strong force, and the other reason is that the local military is far greater than the civilian force. And if you don't have a lot of force, you can't drive those generals at all.

The civil official group can only have a little say in the imperial capital now, and only a few adults in the center have certain rights. ”

Liu Xin nodded while listening, and finally he concluded that Guo Yong, Ding Mingfu and Liu Fu were veterans of Jinyiwei and were experienced, but they were not qualified staff.

Liu Xin didn't hit the three of them, and he saw that the three of them were analyzing the Tao, and he couldn't bear to spoil the mood of a few people, so he changed his way of saying and said:

"After listening to your thoughts, I also have some epiphany, why don't you listen to it?"

The three of them hurriedly bowed down and listened intently.

"My angle of entry started with the Imperial Horse Supervisor case."

"You also know that I assisted Dongchang to find out the important clues of the Yuma Supervisor case, so I was promoted. Some of them are secret, not known to outsiders, and they have been hidden from you because of the circumstances of the case. But now that my mission here in Hanzhong has been completed, then this case in the imperial capital can also be closed. ”

When the three of them heard this, they immediately looked at each other. At first, they didn't know the specific reason for Liu Xin's promotion, but they only knew that they had received the attention and appreciation of the senior management of the East Factory. But now it seems that our Liu Qianhu was promoted and reused because he helped Dongchang find out the important clues of the case.

So the three of them waited with bated breath, waiting for Liu Xin to tell the secret they didn't know.

Liu Xin continued to speak: "In fact, when I was investigating the case of the Imperial Horse Supervisor, I found that some clues pointed to two directions, the most direct of which was of course pointing to the real murderer behind the scenes, and we have locked this real murderer!" ”

The three of them were taken aback when they heard that the real culprit had been locked. Because no arrest was carried out, when they left the imperial capital, the investigation of the Imperial Horse Supervisor continued. Liu Qianhu's captains are still running outside.

Unexpectedly, the real culprit of the case had already been found, and Liu Qianhu's gang was just doing useless work, and the three of them couldn't help but feel a little funny when they thought of this.

Liu Xin continued to speak, and the three of them hurriedly listened intently.

"The clues in the case of the Imperial Horse Supervisor point in two directions, but one of them clearly points to the person behind the scenes, so it shows that the other clue points to an unknown mysterious person. And for this unknown person behind the scenes, I teamed up with Dongchang Yuan Qianhu to conduct an investigation, and finally all the clues pointed to the Hanzhong Military Horse Farm! ”

It turned out to be a military horse farm, and the three of them suddenly realized that the main reason for the investigation of the imperial horse supervision case was the secret art of raising horses, and the largest military horse farm in Zhengyang was in Hanzhong.

"At that time, I didn't think too much about it with the original Qianhu of Dongchang, but I just thought about coming over and arresting people quickly, so that the secret art would be saved. And from the mastermind behind the Imperial Horse Prison case, it may be possible to interrogate who this higher-level person is! ”

"But this idea was overturned by myself at this moment, because in Hanzhong Mansion, we also encountered a higher level of mysterious black hand. He seems to be in control of everything, he has everything in his hands, we are just some external factors, and even if we don't show up, this move will continue to play according to that person's wishes. ”

"Then from this point of view, the civil official group you are talking about, the imperial family or the opposition to the Duke of Qin in the Xungui group, are all untenable."

"When I was investigating the Imperial Horse Prison case, I found out about the involvement of the Northern Barbarians, and the Northern Barbarians also appeared here, indicating that there must be a connection between the people behind the scenes and the Northern Barbarians, and since he is in contact with the Northern Barbarians, then..."

Speaking of this, Liu Xin paused for a moment, looked at the three people who were looking at him intently, and said word by word:

"This person must have colluded with the Northern Barbarians, maybe he just wanted to use this matter to pull the Duke of Qin into the water. As a result, the defense of the border army will be weakened, and this person must be a traitor in collusion between my court and the northern barbarians! ”

The three of them nodded in unison, adults are still adults!

Because the angle of the station is different, the height is different, so the line of sight is also different, and the things that are seen and analyzed are different.

The four of them analyzed here as fierce as tigers, and the ending was not analyzed at all.

When the time came to evening, the prefect invited Liu Xin to go to Yixu.
