Chapter 96: Bloodwashing Secret Detectives
The Jinyiwei took the first move, and it was stable, accurate and ruthless.
Wu Xukuan seemed to have only two options left, either to rebel directly, or to hold back and not to speak. There is no third way to choose. After all, the Wu Guoyu case is full of iron evidence. If he wants to overturn the verdict, he may not be able to overturn the verdict and even provoke a slut.
There is no doubt that Wu Xukuan would not rebel because of this. Wu Guoyu was not worthy of letting Wu Xukuan make such a big move.
Wu Xukuan did not hurt him, and he could even say that he had no loss, but his face was not good-looking and would be panicked. The secret detective was useless and did not help Wu Xukuan's destruction.
He was even less useful than Li Hubiao, the commander of the Western Imperial Army.
On October 28th, the Jinyiwei was dispatched in the afternoon and started a large-scale arrest operation. Wu Guoyu had already been sentenced last night, and the people arrested today were all related to the Secret Scout Guard.
For example, Wu Guoyu's deputy in the Secret Scout Guard, the commander of the Secret Scout Guard, as well as the thousands of households, hundreds of households, general flags, and even the spies and informants at the bottom were arrested.
There has been almost no arrests on this scale of the same department in Dongqian's history, because even if you know that the yamen is full of corrupt people, it is impossible to arrest them all together. You have to take them step by step, or the yamen will be abandoned and there will be no one in charge of the business.
It’s like the court is full of corrupt people nowadays. Even without him, Wu Xukuan, the empress wouldn’t have anyone arrested everyone at once.
Because the consequence of doing so was that the entire court stopped operating.
But this time, what the Jinyiwei did was so overdoing.
It can be said that it was the "blood-slaughter" of the entire Secret Scout, and basically destroyed the yamen.
Zhou An knew how to read people's memory, and because he had gained all the trust of the empress, this matter was basically that Zhou An arrested anyone he asked, and he didn't even have to report to the empress. Zhou An only needed to tell Master Yuan Sheng that Master Yuan Sheng would not object.
Such a huge attack was planned by Zhou An.
If it is targeted at other yamen, it may not be possible to do this, but the secret detective guards are different. This is a semi-disabled secret agent. Even if the secret detective guards are directly removed, all personnel will be dismissed, it will not affect anything.
So it's okay to catch him no matter how many people.
Starting from the afternoon of October 28, the arrest lasted for several days.
Too many people to be arrested and too many people to be tried. They also have to confiscate their property and track down fugitives who are afraid of crime.
Before we knew it, it was the third day of the winter moon.
That is the third day of November.
At noon.
The middle city of Qianjing City is Tunxi Street, which is only two streets away from the Imperial Palace.
The secret detective and guard office is located on this street.
The Jinyiwei came a few days ago, and today they came again, surrounded by the entire Secret Sergeant and Guard Office. The Jinyiwei rushed in... The current Secret Sergeant and Guard Office Office, basically all the officials in charge of the secret Sergeant and Guard Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office Office
However, the Jinyiwei was not here to arrest people today.
But come to dig something!
From the day when Zhou An saw Wu Guoyu's memory, he knew that he had buried the stolen goods in the secret detective and guardian yamen, but he did not immediately ask someone to come to the secret detective and guardian yamen to dig it out.
Because he also knew that not only were there stolen goods hidden here, but other evidences of guilt were enough to implicate many people.
Zhou An was worried that digging out the things here first would cause chaos within the Secret Scout Guard, causing some people to escape, which would cause unnecessary trouble for the Jinyiwei's subsequent arrest operations.
That's why he waited until today, and when all the people he should have arrested were almost gone, he came to take people to dig things.
The Jinyiwei first set up several boxes under the floor tiles of the main hall of the Secret Security Office.
Later, some things were dug out in the small garden in the backyard of the yamen.
There are also hidden stolen goods found in the horse shed and weapon warehouse of the Secret Security Office.
Even in Wu Guoyu's office study, there were stolen goods.
The Jinyiwei general secretly investigated the security guards' yamen and turned the corner to the sky.
Wu Guoyu is also very determined. He hid more things in the secret yamen of the Secret Security Department than in his own home. However, from another perspective, this is also his smart place. It is safer to hide here, even than to hide in his home, because if he is arrested for other things, his home will definitely be confiscated, but no matter what, he will not search the yamen.
Also, even if you hide in the yamen, even if you are discovered, Wu Guoyu can be said to be not his own. After all, this yamen is so big and there are so many people working, anyone can hide it.
It just passed noon.
Secret detective and guard office, at the lobby entrance of the front yard.
The yard is very clean. Although it had snowed for a long time a few days ago, it has not fallen these days and the snow has been cleaned up.
The boxes that had been dug out were moved over and placed at the door. Some boxes were already opened, containing not only gold and silver, but also porcelain, antique calligraphy and painting, jewelry and other things in the previous dynasty.
The Jinyiwei was busy.
Zhou An was also rummaging carefully.
He was looking for some very, very important things, which were related to whether Zhou An could successfully get the Secret Scout Guard to operate again. Although he read Wu Guoyu's memory, the Soul Knowing Technique was not a detailed memory, but only important memories, and it is very likely that he just watched a clip.
So the current situation is that Zhou An knows that those things are in the Secret Detective and Security Office, but where they are hidden is not reflected in Wu Guoyu's memory, and Zhou An doesn't know either.
As for the other people in Secret Scouts... they arrested a lot, interrogated a lot, and killed a lot these days. Zhou An saw many people's memories, but they didn't know where this crucial thing was.
This thing was set at the beginning of the establishment of the Secret Scout Guard, and it could only be controlled by the Secret Scout Guard Commander.
Seven or eight Jinyiwei brought some boxes over.
Zhou An looked at the style of these boxes, and it didn't seem to be dug out from the ground, so he looked up and asked, "Where did you find it?"
"When I went back to my father-in-law, there were some scattered things in the secret compartment of the study. We found other boxes to pack them." A black-faced Jinyiwei hurriedly replied to Zhou An's words.
"Yeah!" Zhou An nodded, raised his hand and signaled them to go and work hard. Then he walked over, opened several boxes, and looked at it.
Some calligraphy, paintings, jade artifacts, and some books.
Zhou An picked up a book casually, opened it a few times, threw it back, picked up another one, and flipped it again...
Yuan Shengshi Ben searched and looked around not far away, and saw that a new box was brought over, he also came over. Like Zhou An, he only read the books, and he seemed to be looking for something.
Zhou An flipped through one book after another, not one box, and he flipped through another.
Master Yuan Sheng picked up another ancient book in another box, opened it to read, and his eyes suddenly stopped. He was attracted, and began to read it seriously, slowly turning it over.
Zhou An, who was searching on the side, glanced at Master Yuan Sheng.
Master Yuan Sheng noticed Zhou An's gaze, glanced at Zhou An, and then combined the ancient book, glanced at Zhou An's ancient book, and showed Zhou An the words on the cover, and then said, "I want to take it away."
There are a few words written on the cover of the ancient book - the Thirteen Sword Styles!
"Sword Technique?" Zhou An asked.
"Yeah." Master Yuan Sheng responded with a nasal voice.
"Take it whatever you want..." Zhou An said it was indifferent. Although these were all stolen goods, as Yuan Shengshi, he took martial arts secrets in the stolen goods he had searched. Even if the empress found out about this, the empress would not take it seriously.
Master Yuan Sheng is a sword crazy, and everyone knows this.
Although Zhou An had the power to supervise the Jinyiwei, he was not the kind of rigid person. Moreover, he wanted to establish a good relationship with Yuan Shengshi.
To be honest, if Zhou An had the chance, he would be eager to give Yuan Sheng a few secrets of swordsmanship.
It is always good to win over.
"The box we just flipped through is also a few secrets of swordsmanship. Although it is all rough skills, it may not be able to catch General Yuan's eyes. However, if General Yuan likes it, just take it away." Zhou An pointed to the box he had flipped before and said.
Master Yuan Sheng didn't say anything, so he went to the box to flip it.
It felt that Master Yuan Sheng was not looking for some amazing sword skills, he was just collecting some special sword skills that he had never seen before. Perhaps he wanted to get inspiration from those secrets and seek breakthroughs.
He is a sword cultivator, and whether his sword skills can make progress again depends on whether he can enter Tiangang.
Zhou An began to turn over the box before him again.
Keep looking to the bottom.
He found several books with no words on the cover below. He opened one of them and only read one page, and was shocked.
Found it!
That's it!
The secret detective is placed in the roster of all spies in the world!
Zhou An immediately searched all the books with the same style and words on the cover from under the box. There were more than twenty books. He quickly opened a few more books, and only read the first page.
Yes!
Chapter completed!
