Chapter Eighty-Eight: The Rise and Fall of the Detention Hall for a Hundred Years, the Head of the Big Stalls Secretly Ordered to Capture the Wolves

Mai Barracks in Qifeng Mountain.

In the big tent of the Chinese army.

The sandalwood on the table was swirling, and Yuwen Junxun leaned back on the chair, slightly stunned.

Wang Zheng looked at Yuwen Junxun and felt that he had made a big difference compared to the past. He thought it was just because he was disturbed by the Five Elements agent.

Wang Zheng still doesn't realize that once a person breaks through his bottom line, he will slowly become another person, and he is no longer willing to be bound by anything from now on. At this moment, Yuwen Junxun has become different!

It took a while for Yuwen Junxun to slowly recover.

He glanced at Wang Zheng and asked, "What do you think of that Five Elements secret agent named Ant Ridge?"

Wang Zheng thought carefully for a while and replied: "He gives me a very strange feeling, and I can't say the specifics." But this man was so shrewd and bold that he was able to find our hiding place so quickly, and dared to enter our camp alone. ”

Yuwen Junxun said with emotion: "The other party is just a gold medal secret agent of the Five Elements Secret Department, and he has such an ability, the Feng family can shock the continent and spread the name of the Three Kingdoms with only one place in the southwest." ”

Wang Zheng nodded and didn't say anything more.

Yuwen Junxun carefully read the Fengyang secret letter again, put the secret letter into the incense burner on the side, and after a while, the flame rose and slowly swallowed the secret letter.

"Tell me to go down, expand the scope of vigilance, and if anyone trespasses into Qifeng Mountain, there will be no mercy!"

Night Singing City, White Pot Avenue.

It is located near the Imperial City of Yeyin City, which is a more prosperous area in the city, but on the entire Baihu Avenue, it is deserted and sparsely populated.

The reason for this is entirely because of the yamen in the center of this avenue.

The Detention Hall, the largest intelligence organization in Southern Qi.

Hearing its name can tell its horror.

The Detention Hall was established in the early years of the Southern Qi Dynasty and was established by Li Hong, the first emperor of the Southern Qi Dynasty. In the beginning, it was just to spy on military intelligence and serve the army. However, with the establishment of the Three Kingdoms and the end of the war, the functions of the Detention Hall gradually changed. Under the emperor's orders, they supervised hundreds of officials, patrolled the world, spying on military intelligence, and assassinating at the same time, and at the same time carried out the tasks of reconnaissance, arrest, and interrogation.

Since the Detention Hall was directly ordered by the emperor, other officials in the court could not interfere with them at all, so the power of the Detention Hall was extremely great. They can bypass the judiciary, regardless of their rank, directly interrogate cases, and even have the right to use lynching, so the ministers of the DPRK and China are both angry and afraid of them.

In fact, in order to prevent problems within the Detention Hall, the emperor also took precautions, and issued a special decree to strictly restrict their official position system, even the highest administrator of the Detention Hall was just an order from the five grades. While suppressing their room for promotion, the emperor used money as a standard for rewards, and every time the officials of the Detention Hall made meritorious contributions, they would receive a large amount of monetary rewards.

The original intention of the Emperor of the Southern Qi Dynasty was to raise salaries and maintain integrity, so as to establish a judicial force that was not afraid of power and eliminate traitors and corruption in the court, but he ignored that excessive power itself would breed corruption, and the temptation of money would make people lose their hearts.

Gradually, problems arose. Due to the lack of necessary limits on their power, the officials of the Detention Hall gradually became arrogant, and because they did not have a complete system of official promotions, grabbing money became their only hope. As a result, corruption inevitably emerged. They no longer follow the decree of arresting people on evidence, and they begin to "move when they hear the news", as soon as they hear rumors, they immediately start to arrest people, and then extract so-called "evidence" through torture. The punishment in the detention hall is harsh and inhumane, comparable to the Nine Hells, and the arrested officials and ordinary people will not survive the torture seven or eight times out of ten, and choose to "confess their guilt and surrender to the law". In this way, their efficiency and accuracy in "punishing adultery and eliminating evil" were greatly improved, and they were repeatedly praised by the Emperor of Southern Qi.

They knew that what the royal family was most afraid of was to form a party and plot rebellion, and the reward for seizing the rebellious organization was also the richest. As a result, they deliberately and unscrupulously expanded the scope of their involvement, severely tortured and forced the so-called "criminal officials" to bite others, and for a time, there were countless unjust, false and wrongly decided cases.

The detention hall has privileges and the nominal protection of the emperor, they are arrogant, evil, corrupt, abused lynching, everyone will hear about the detention hall, and the Southern Qi court seems to be shrouded like a dark cloud. This is also one of the important reasons for the decline of the Southern Qi Dynasty.

However, justice is in the hearts of the people, and there is no room for treachery.

Nanqi is very fortunate to have such a good minister as Hong Hui.

At that time, Hong Hui was already famous all over the world and was highly valued by the emperor, and the detention hall had designed to frame Hong Hui, but the emperor resolutely did not believe it, and removed a detention hall stall who reported the matter from his post for investigation. From then on, the detention hall threw a mouse taboo and no longer dared to touch Hong Hui.

At that time, it was the second melee between the Three Kingdoms, and Hong Hui was outside commanding the army. In order to stabilize the rear, Hong Hui didn't want to tear his face with the Detention Hall. However, one of his cronies, a general, was framed by the Detention Hall and sent someone to arrest him. Hong Hui was immediately furious, and the officials of the Detention Hall who were arrested in the future were arrested and sent to the front line. At that time, Zhao Qiuchi ran to the emperor Li Hong to cry, but was reprimanded by Li Hongshen, and from then on, the detention hall never dared to provoke Hong Hui.

But if you don't commit Hong Hui, Hong Hui doesn't want to spare you anymore.

Several generals under Hong Hui's command have friends and relatives who have been wronged and punished by the detention hall, these people know the weight of Hong Hui in the emperor's heart, and they all ran to Hong Hui to plead, hoping that Hong Hui would make a statement to the emperor.

Hong Hui was originally taboo about having too much authority, which caused dissatisfaction among the royal family. So knowing that the Detention Hall was misbehaving, he has been holding back. But at this moment, he couldn't ignore the request of his generals, these people were the backbone of the Southern Qi army, and there was even a handsome man he saw very much, Hong Hui thought about it again and again, and made up his mind to write to the emperor to clean up the detention hall.

Who is Hong Hui?

His book was like a boulder thrown on the surface of a calm lake, and in an instant, a huge storm was set off in the court of Southern Qi. With Hong Hui taking the lead, the ministers and officials of the Southern Qi Dynasty who had been oppressed by the Detention Hall for a long time responded one after another, and for a while, Li Hong's desk was full of twists and turns of impeachment and arrest.

There is a way that one person is suspicious, and three people become tigers. Under the excitement of the crowd, even if Li Hong trusted the Detention Hall, he had to comply with the courtiers' wishes and ordered the investigation of the Detention Hall.

As a result, after a check, Li Hong's face was bloodless.

Dark, corrupt, cruel, and unreasonable, the Detention Hall that he had always trusted had become such a filthy place to hide filth.

Crimes are rampant, there are countless unjust, false and wrongful cases, and the huge corruption is even more sensational!

Li Honglongyan was furious, and took the holy decree and only wrote one type: Kill!

The emperor's order was issued, and the word "kill" was written, and thousands of heads rolled to the ground.

From Zhao Qiuchi, the envoy who received the order, to the lower-level officials who had blood on their hands, as long as they were members of the Detention Hall who committed crimes, none of them were spared.

On the day of the beheading, there was a sea of people on the court, gongs and drums were noisy, and firecrackers rang out in unison, just like a festival.

With the order of the prison officer, thousands of officials from the Detention Hall went to Jiuyou, the people shouted a tsunami, and the whole country of Southern Qi rejoiced.

Next, Li Hong personally issued an edict against himself and thought about it behind closed doors for three days to thank the world.

All the cases handled by the Detention Hall are all re-investigated, those who are deeply wronged will have all their property confiscated and returned, those who have been exiled and imprisoned will be released immediately and returned to their original duties, the deceased will be given additional titles, compensated for losses, and rewarded separately, and the family property of the officials of the Detention Hall will be confiscated, and those who have committed serious crimes will be sentenced and punished in accordance with the laws of the country.

At this point, the mourning hall that had been in the Southern Qi Dynasty was completely detained, and the dark clouds that shrouded the heads of hundreds of officials were swept away.

However, as an intelligence organization, the Detention Hall was indispensable to Nanqi, who was in a state of war. With the support and suggestion of Hong Hui and other military forces, the detention hall was rebuilt.

However, the emperor decreed that the excessively cruel torture instruments in the detention hall should be abolished, and they would be deprived of their arrest and interrogation powers, and they would be returned to the Criminal Department. The Detention Hall once again became a pure spy organization, and was supervised and supervised by the Ministry of War and the Supervision Yuan, and its power was greatly weakened.

However, with the support of Hong Hui and other military forces, the rebuilt Detention Hall quickly recovered its strength and became an espionage organization second only to the Tiande Hidden Wolf, the Great Wei Eagle Detective and the Feng Family's Five Elements Secret Department.

After three generations of the Southern Qi Dynasty, the functions of the detention hall have gradually recovered a lot, but with the organization that specializes in supervising the detention hall, they can no longer do anything wrong. The relationship between them and the hundred officials is to supervise each other, and the function is similar to that of the imperial historians, who can hear about the matter, and the emperor will decide whether to give the detention hall the power to file a case for investigation and arrest and interrogation. Of course, its main responsibility is to spy on intelligence and catch spies.

A man dressed as a common man hurriedly entered the White Pot Avenue, looked around vigilantly, and came to the door of the Detention Hall.

He reached into his arms and took out a nameplate, and after the guard of the funeral hall guarded the door, he flashed away.

This man passed through the hall to the hall.

At the door, he explained a few words to a clerk in the palace, and the other party nodded and went in.

A short time later, the official came out to summon him, and the man followed him into the hall and waited.

After about half a moment, a man in an embroidered suit walked out, this person had improper facial features, a collapsed nose, a crooked mouth, large and small eyes, and an extremely ugly appearance, but the whole body was shrouded in a compelling momentum. Looking at the clothing patterns on his body, it should be Nanqi's envoy from Wupin, and it can be seen that this person is Wang Yongzheng, the current head of the Detention Hall.

"Big stall!" the man bowed.

Wang Yongzheng crooked his mouth and asked, "You came back in such a hurry, but what urgent matter do you have to report?"

The man looked excited, and said: "Back to the big stall, we found the trace of the hidden wolf, the wind spirit has followed, she will leave a mark along the road, and the subordinates are here to ask for the big stall hair order this time!"

Wang Yongzheng's eyes glared slightly: "Can you understand it?" Are you sure it's a hidden wolf?"

The man said, "You can't be wrong. The guy who escaped from us last time was among them!"

Wang Yongzheng nodded, the last time the Detention Hall secretly got the news that someone was disguised to enter the Hong Mansion, and after being recognized, he fled, and the Detention Hall sent someone to intercept him, but he was allowed to escape. However, during the fight, the man's mask fell off, but his true face was seen.

The hidden wolf can be said to be the number one enemy of the Southern Qi, and Tiande has always been eyeing the Southern Qi, so he sent a large number of hidden wolf spies to the territory of the Southern Qi, so the Detention Hall and the hidden wolf fought the most.

In particular, the night Yin City of the Southern Qi Jingshi was the place where the battle between the two sides was most intense. It's just that because the hidden wolf is too deep, the Detention Hall has not been able to crack the main force of the hidden wolf, and the few successes are just to cut off some of the other party's innocuous wings.

Now that the traces of the hidden wolf in the Night Whispering City have been found, the Detention Hall naturally has no reason to let it go. They are fighting on their home turf, and with the support and assistance of official forces, as long as they find out where the hidden wolf is hiding, they can deal a fatal blow to it.

As soon as the secret orders came out from the general office of the Detention Hall, the relevant forces of the Southern Qi Dynasty acted secretly.
