Volume 2 Chapter 90 A Kindness That Alone
There is a special office space in the Nanya of the Southern Tang Dynasty Official Office, but at the back of the building here is a black building, where the rumored black prison of Qianniuwei is located.
It's the middle of September, but it's still very hot in the whole Nantang, but outside the building on the street, it makes people feel very cold!
Because within the towering walls, there will be a terrible scream of lovers, so that many people passing by here feel cold and goosebumps.
In recent years, Qianniuwei's power has become more and more powerful, and he claims to be the most powerful guard among the twelve guards of the Southern Tang Forbidden Army. Of course, in terms of the actual division of labor, the left and right Xiaowei, the left and right military guards, the left and right Weiwei, the left and right Jinwuwei, and the left and right leading guards are not as good as the left and right Qianniuwei.
In fact, Qianniuwei is also responsible for intelligence collection, secret investigation and arrest, and more than ten years ago, the imperial power was granted the right to use the black prison.
Because the twelve guards belong to the forbidden army guards of the imperial court, it is easy to become a privileged class, and the Southern Tang Dynasty has also adjusted this year by year, the original twelve guards have been removed, and the commanders of each guard have all become commanders, and the deputies also have two deputy commanders.
Although the subordinate relationship is in the Ministry of War, Qianniuwei has the right to act arbitrarily independently, and the other guards are also subordinate to the Zhichong Mansion, but the Yamen of the Ministry of War has to be responsible for the family's military salary.
But they can't help it, in the past few years, especially Qianniuwei's reputation has become more and more famous, and his power has become bigger and bigger! The two commanders of Qianniuwei are even more popular with His Majesty the Emperor, who dares to provoke?
Qianniu Weizuo's commander Shang Hu is currently on a business trip in Lingxi, and I am afraid that this time the local official is likely to be unlucky. Now Luo Mingsheng, the right Qianniu guard command room in the city, is even more ruthless.
This person's identity is probably the same as Guan Shanhai, but the murderous reputation is not obvious, mainly because this person is rumored to be very shady and often good at playing behind his back.
Compared with Shang Hu, Qian Niuwei and these people may be more afraid of Luo Mingsheng, Shang Hu is a downhill tiger, but Luo Mingsheng is a yin-faced tiger.
In the Nan Yaguan Office, Luo Mingsheng put down the thick file and was silent, and there were two subordinates standing outside the door of the room, with straight bodies and a silent voice, because Lord Luo's face has been gloomy today, and the nickname of the Yin-faced Tiger is not called in vain.
On the day of the parade of the floats, the act of stabbing had been characterized, and the firing devices of the three Genki Arrows had been found, but when Qianniuwei arrived at the scene, he found that the assassins were either dead or unconscious.
This shows that someone did it in advance, so who did it? And it was for the assassination, and the perpetrator was obviously preventing the assassination, which means a lot of content.
Those unconscious people were taken to the black prison at this moment, but they didn't expect that these people were all dead soldiers, and they actually bit through the poison hidden in their teeth at the same time and committed suicide.
Luo Mingsheng was a little irritable, the killer did not have any characteristics that marked his identity, except for tracing the source of the three Yuan Qi arrows, there were basically no clues to trace, but the three crossbow frames were scraped off all the marks!
However, weapons like components are only available to the military, so Luo Mingsheng ordered the transfer of all relevant documents of the Ministry of War, as well as all the records of the relevant transfers of the Yuanqi Arrow in Zhichong Mansion.
The background involved in this is too complicated to be completed in a short period of time, and Luo Mingsheng has already been under pressure from the peak, which makes him even more irritable.
He put down the file, picked up the tea bowl on the table and took a sip of tea, but found that the tea was already cold, and after a while, Luo Mingsheng put down the tea bowl and picked up another file.
This dossier is covered with a black seal, which is a top secret document, but ordinary people have no permission to see it, because it is marked with the words "Investigation by the personnel of the Great Jin Mission".
As the enemy country of the Great Jin Dynasty for many years, the Southern Tang Dynasty was naturally very cautious and even nervous about the entire Great Jin, and the envoys in it even required the investigation to be very careful.
Although the two countries have not been fighting for many years, the hostile mood is still there, and the intelligence collection on the Great Jin side currently exists in the hands of Zuo Qianniuwei, and the left and right are the basic division of labor between the left and right Qianniuwei.
The top-secret dossier in Luo Mingsheng's hands now is naturally not the intelligence of the military intelligence in front of the stage, but the information of everyone in the Great Jin Mission is recorded in great detail.
From the chief and deputy envoys to the tiger guard officers below, and even the maids and grooms, there are detailed records, from their place of origin to their age preferences, the number of years they have been engaged in work, and even whether they have gone out to find a little wife and seduce men.
The envoy of the Great Jin Mission is Hong Jingtian, the only son of Hong Zhao, the king of Dingnan, this person is bound to be the person who needs the most attention, not to mention the grudge between the military of the Southern Tang Dynasty and the king of Dingnan, but such an opponent is respectable, and you will be taken care of as his son now.
Two deputy envoys, one is Lang Zhongling Chu Yin of Dingnanguan in the Great Jin Dynasty, this person belongs to the Shendu Imperial Court, plus Lu Bancheng, the Zhengqing of Honglu Temple who was photographed this time, which is equivalent to the will of the Shendu Imperial Court.
The following two subordinate officers are both members of the Divine Guard, and the rank of the commander of the Ma Army is not low, so it is likely that the military of the Southern Tang Dynasty will be more interested.
Then there is the deputy head of internal security of the Dingnan Palace, Guan Shanhai, this person should be Luo Mingsheng's peer, but this person's conduct is not good, and he did not attract attention in Luo Mingsheng's eyes.
Most of the other people and other officials in the retinue were indiscriminate, and many of them were impostors, but they were recorded in the status files, probably because they had infiltrated the mission to take advantage. And although Sima Yan's name made Luo Mingsheng pay some attention, because this person was only a person who practiced martial arts, he naturally would not pose any threat to immortal cultivators.
"These two maids are also a little weird!" Luo Mingsheng muttered to himself, and casually picked up the pen and marked the file.
Then he was looking at the recent movements of these people, Chu Yin and that Lu Bancheng were obviously very compatible, the two were often together, although they didn't go out much, they wrote letters with some middle-level officials in the Southern Tang Dynasty.
There were even a few officials who went out to visit together, but in Luo Mingsheng's eyes, even if several scholars and monks in the court saw them, there was no threat, not to mention that these two people were not related to the assassination case.
Guan Shanhai and those officers were very restless, and last time they beat up the Qianniuwei spies who were arranged outside the mission station, which made him very faceless, although he ordered the people to stay away, but they must not consider activating the hidden stakes inside the post house.
In the following days, Guan Shanhai and the people didn't go out often, and even when they went out, these guys drank and didn't do anything good, but just yesterday, I don't know what permission they got from Hong Jingtian?
Luo Mingsheng cared about the envoy of the Great Jin Mission, His Royal Highness was very young, and it seemed that he was going out on business for the first time, but he seemed to have a very special status.
This person's whereabouts also seem to be a bit strange lately, and some spies have reported that this person seems to have gone out once on the day of the assassination case, and he still went out alone, as for where he went, no one could track him.
This is very strange, and the place where this person watched the parade of floats that day happened to be on Suzaku Street, very close to the square in front of the palace, and very close to the position of the three Genki arrows, it seems that he can see the whole process of the stabbing frame very closely.
The suspects in the stabbing case are very clear, and they are nothing more than those few, especially Li Honglie, the king of Ping, but it is necessary to find or even get the evidence.
Now this sudden appearance of the Great Jin Mission inevitably fell into Luo Mingsheng's suspicion list, because the Yuan Qi Arrow is not a secret, and the Great Jin military has also copied a batch.
If this envoy smuggled in the Yuanqi Arrow because of its official status, or colluded with people within the imperial court, then the motive and mode of action of this assassination case can be explained.
The prince of Dingnan is likely to be a key person, this person doesn't go out much, basically stays in the embassy and doesn't go out, in Luo Mingsheng's opinion, this person must be practicing some special exercises.
However, His Majesty the Emperor of the Southern Tang Dynasty was very kind to this person, not only specially invited this person to the banquet at the Mid-Autumn Festival dinner last time, but also sent several gifts to the mission later......! That one actually visited the Great Jin Mission in person!
There are all kinds of indications that His Royal Highness the Prince of the Great Jin Mission is very suspicious, but His Majesty the Emperor's attitude towards him is also very suspicious, could it be that there are more inside stories involved.
Luo Mingsheng suddenly felt that his mouth was dry, and he picked up the tea bowl and drank the herbal tea dry!
"Rumors...... ......If it's true, what should we do?"
His Majesty the Emperor was so kind to the little prince of the empire, which indirectly proved some secret rumors that appeared a long time ago, and Luo Mingsheng didn't dare to think about it, because he knew that those things were not something he could touch.
But where the responsibility lies, the stabbing case is pressed very tightly from above, and it seems that he has to pay attention to it, and this kind of work is indeed a bit of a crime.
Luo Mingsheng called people directly, and his subordinates came in to salute, he thought for a while and ordered: "Find a way to get the manpower transfer situation on the side of the Valley Manor, be careful not to let King Ping's people notice, and besides, tomorrow is the day when the court will receive foreign missions, and I will keep an eye on the embassy at night." ”
The subordinates took the order and left, Luo Mingsheng rubbed his eyebrows, sat down and watched the hem of his official uniform begin to be distracted.
But he didn't expect that the current location of the Great Jin Mission was in a mess, and he didn't know how Sedum ordered, Guan Shanhai and a few people brought the officials of the Ministry of Rites who accompanied them to drink this time.
But although they didn't go into the backyard, several Kaki beauties ran into the rooms of the Great Jin officials with a gust of incense, and everyone shouted in shock for a while.
