Lin Wenbiao didn't have an idea, and glanced at President Wei.

President Wei signaled with his eyes, and then Lin Wenbiao also signaled that Aixin Jueluo Lu was not extravagant.

Wei Bao wants to deal with these traitors on his own, not let Nurhachi send people! Wang Bing's men informed Nurhachi of the situation here, and their goal had been achieved. Wei Bao now only wants a Nurhachi attitude, not Nurhachi's clear instructions on how to deal with these traitors.

In Wei Bao's opinion, small-scale rebellion, in Nurhachi's view, may not be a problem, after all, this kind of thing often happens in the army.

"I just sent a letter to the Great Khan overnight last night, so you don't need to write again so soon, just wait!" Aixin Jueluo Lu Lu said to Wang Bing: "Let's take a look at these guys first!" ”

Aixin Jueluo Lu Lu didn't know what Lin Wenbiao wanted to do, so he used a trick to delay the army.

"Okay!" Wang Bing nodded and said: "General, I don't think you need to care too much about these people, you should be ruthless and make an example!" ”

"The point is that you're not sure if it's these people now, because you haven't got the actual incriminating evidence, have they anyone confessed?" Aixin Jueluo Lu Lu asked.

"Not yet, but it's not hard to get them to explain. Just take a beating. Wang Bingyin smiled compassionately.

Lin Wenbiao, Zhang Pan, Lin Maochun, Chen Zhong, Lai Tag and others were expressionless when they heard Wang Bing say this.

Wei Bao was very uncomfortable in his heart, just beat him, yes, this is the ancient judicial organ!

Although this judicial organ is the judicial organ of Jiannu, why is it not the case with the Ming Dynasty?

Wei Bao knew very well that if he was really put into a yamen prison by someone like Wu Sanfeng or Zu Kefa one day, it would not take half an hour for him to be beaten, and he would also have to be tortured to extract a confession, and obediently draw a fingerprint on the confession.

Everyone followed Wang Bing to a larger cell, which was quite large, the size of a basketball court, but it was still crowded with more than 200 people.

The most important thing is that these people who were suddenly detained are very inexplicable, and I don't know why they were arrested?

"My lord, you can't lock us up? We haven't done anything. ”

"My lord, why are you arresting us?"

"What the hell have we done?"

As soon as a group of prisoners who had been detained for no reason saw Wang Bing, they immediately became moved.

"What's the noise? All stand up! Hurry up and get up! Wang Bing shouted.

More than a dozen subordinates beside Wang Bing waved their braids and pumped them: "Get up, damn, stand up!" ”

As soon as Wei Bao entered the cell, he smelled a pungent stench, this cell is not like what you often see in TV dramas, there are wooden fences or something, in fact, there is nothing, it is just a simple big wooden house.

Wei Bao is a little strange, these people are not shackled, why don't they dare to resist? Then Wei Bao figured it out, this is the barracks, the barracks have iron-blooded discipline, not to mention more than 200 people are detained, that is, more people, usually they are all scared, as long as the defenders outside are larger than the prisoners, the prisoners will not dare to resist, because there are no weapons in their hands.

Even if Wang Bing and the others don't bring any weapons, these people will not dare to resist, this is a class society, between classes, there is a strong ability to suppress.

Regardless of whether it is a soldier or a civilian, once they are oppressed by people of the military or police nature, they can only be passively oppressed.

While Wang Bing and the others were maintaining order, Aixin Jueluo Lu Lu took the opportunity to ask Lin Wenbiao for instructions: "What should you do with these people?" ”

"You have only one purpose, as many people as possible! The more the merrier! Especially traitors, you don't have to be polite. Lin Wenbiao said softly.

Now Aixin Jueluo Lu Hao fully understands the meaning of 'master', his life is now in Lin Wenbiao's hands, isn't he his master?

"General, the suspects are all here, and the arsonist should be among them!" Wang Bing said to Aixin Jueluo Lu Lu.

Aixin Jueluo Lu Lu glanced at Wang Bing, and then walked towards a 'suspect': "You killed someone and set fire to it last night?" ”

"No, no general!" The man was so frightened that he hurriedly defended: "I didn't! ”

Aixin Jueluo Lu Lu looked at Wang Bing.

Wang Bing looked embarrassed, pulled out his waist knife violently, and smashed it from the top of the head of the interrogated suspect with the hilt: "Call you dishonest!" Is there any?! ”

The suspect screamed, and then fell backwards!

More than 200 'suspects' were frightened, and they all retreated together, huddled in huge cells, like a flock of ducks waiting to be slaughtered, and all of them shivered.

Wang Bing stepped forward and stepped on the wound of the suspect whose head was bleeding on the ground, and the suspect's face was tightly trampled on the ground.

"Is there any, you speak!" Wang Bing asked hysterically.

"Yes! Yes! I killed people and set fires, and the general spared his life! The suspect cried out in horror.

Wang Bing looked at Aixin Jueluo Lu Hao triumphantly, "General, there will be no mistake, none of these people are clean!" We're not going to arrest people. ”

Aixin Jueluo Lu Lu didn't say anything, Wang Bing continued his performance, as long as the person who was beaten by Wang Bing, one counts as one, knowing that if he is beaten like this, he will be beaten to death sooner or later, rather than so, it is better to simply admit it, even if he thinks that the law is not to blame the public, even if he is drunk and makes trouble, so many people will not be killed, so the people who were asked admitted that they participated in the arson last night without thinking.

Wei Bao was originally very worried that Wang Bing would thoroughly investigate the cause of death of those who were killed and then burned to death, but it seems that he overestimated people like Wang Bing, this kind of person will not be entangled in how people die, they just want to understand as soon as possible, and not set themselves on fire.

"It doesn't work! If you only kill more than 200 people here, it's too few! Wei Bao whispered to Lin Wenbiao: "If you want to kill more people, let them report each other and expose them!" Shut up the guilty! ”

Whistleblowing each other? Lin Wenbiao was so frightened by President Wei's words that he shivered.

Although Lin Wenbiao was born in the mountains and wild willows and has a very low level of education, these days, as the head of the spy agency of President Wei, he has learned a lot about things in the court, and he probably knows what it means to hear about things.

Rumors and rumors refer to the fact that officials in supervisory positions such as the imperial history in ancient times could admonish or impeach officials according to rumors, and also generally refer to the upward reporting of officials according to rumors.

In ancient times, officials who held supervisory positions such as the Imperial Historian could admonish or impeach officials based on hearsay. According to rumors, the officials were reported upward.

The means adopted by the ancient kings in order to rectify the dynasty and purge the rule of officials, the officials can play according to the news, impeach each other, and reward those who are found to be true, and those who are not punished are not punished, which is the strategy of the king to open up the way of speech, and the monarchs of the Ming and Qing dynasties have used it.

Isn't letting these suspects report and expose each other a kind of rumor?

If there are only one or two suspects, and each confesses ten people, twenty people are at the top, and killing twenty or thirty people is not a big deal.

But there are more than 200 suspects here?

If people bite people, one bite the other, endlessly, I am afraid that the entire shepherd fort is a suspect, and even expand the scope, the control area of Jiannu, wouldn't everyone be a suspect?

Wei Bao was also happy for his own flash of inspiration, Wei Bao did not have much experience in political struggle, and if he did, he also had a little bit of hearsay from various historical stories.

Wei Bao's most intuitive struggle experience is probably left over from his elementary school days.

Primary school class cadres, the specific positions roughly include class leader, deputy class leader, study committee, labor committee, life committee, representatives of each subject, group leader, duty team leader, etc., according to the different levels of the position, with a bar, two bars, three bars to distinguish, divided into captain, squadron leader, squad leader, is not an organization is not easy to say, at least on the surface are directly subordinate to the class teacher, nominally under the unified jurisdiction of an organization called the Young Pioneers, but it seems to belong to the nominal jurisdiction of listening to the tune and not listening to the propaganda, This is the political struggle that Wei Bao was first exposed to, and probably the only one.

After all, in middle school and university, when the people's congress is more mature and mature, there will be fewer people who make small reports, and political struggle will no longer be the main theme among students.

Aside from personal relationships and other influencing factors, the interpersonal relationships in primary schools are so complicated, and they feel that the relationship between them is very loose, but these people have always maintained close one-line contact with the class teacher and the teachers of various subjects, and have the privilege of gossip and reporting.

The great thing about it is that although everyone is very clear about their identities and backgrounds, due to the limitations of the system, they must get along day and night, and it is inevitable that they will not be able to prevent it, so they still often leak important information, resulting in various private activities of students being repeatedly damaged to varying degrees.

Thinking of this, the corners of Wei Bao's mouth crooked, and he couldn't help but cover his mouth and smile.

Now, of course, the most direct and bloody sabotage behind enemy lines is not a modern schoolboy affair.

Not to mention his shallow experience in political struggle, in Wei Bao's cognition, the lethality of rumors and rumors to the court is also terrifying.

As far as Wei Bao knows, the greatest civil power is not the Ming Dynasty, but the Song Dynasty.

Because the Song Dynasty did not suppress annexation, and there was the ancestral precept of not killing scholars, the gentry class had a strong economic foundation and talisman, and except for Di Qing, a special case in the Privy Council, they were all civil officials, that is to say, the civil officials had a complete control over national politics from the Song Dynasty.

Prior to this, the Tang Dynasty, the gate valve still had an extremely strong force, and before the Tang Dynasty and the Tang Dynasty, it can be regarded as the period when the emperor and the gate valve ruled the world together.

The gate valve has great power, not only as an official himself, but also as a personnel officer, and makes his protégés and former officials officials, and many of them also become military attachés, forming a huge political group with guns.

Once the emperor is weak, he can easily be overlooked, and even his life is in danger.

The gentry was much easier to control than the gate valve, and the imperial examination system put the power in the hands of the emperor, and the civil officials could only form a party by pulling fellow villagers of the same year, but could not form a community of interests as strong as the gate valve.

Moreover, most of the civilian officials do not know the soldiers, and they cannot command the battle on the front line, and they still have to rely on the military attaché to command the battle.

However, the civil officials of the Song Dynasty were extremely strong, and they reached the peak of their development in the Southern Song Dynasty.

The emperor is weak, and the prime minister still overthrows the emperor through his prestige and skill.

In the Yuan Dynasty, the prime minister abolished several emperors, and the imperial power was unstable again.

The Ming Dynasty learned the lessons of the Song and Yuan dynasties, abolished the prime minister, and also set up an army and spy agency that was only responsible to the emperor - Jinyiwei, with the troops directly under the emperor, the imperial power was guaranteed, and the cabinet chief assistant was only a secretary, and the emperor's removal of him was theoretically a matter of one sentence, and there was no need to go through any procedures at all.

Moreover, the court staff was also the emperor's lynching, and the emperor could kill the minister without judicial trial, which was an unprecedented expansion of imperial power.

Therefore, there is no such thing as a civil official in the Ming Dynasty who can effectively check and balance the monarchy. The extent of civil power depends entirely on whether the emperor is ruthless or not.

Ming Xiaozong may be more kind, so he is aggrieved.

Jiajing killed more than a dozen people at once, and no one dared to talk nonsense anymore, and then blindly look for trouble with the emperor.

Wanli has not been in court for more than 20 years, and no one can fight the idea of imperial power.

But why do people feel that the imperial power of the Ming Dynasty was severely restricted?

Because most of the emperors of the Ming Dynasty in the back were more face-saving, they didn't dare to be like Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Di, and they didn't want to make a name for themselves, and it was a little bit to kill the minister.

The poor relationship between the monarch and the minister is also a very important factor.

Due to the excessive imperial power, and the Ming Dynasty royal family ate too much for well-known reasons, the gentry class naturally had many dissatisfactions, which was one of them.

Second, the emperor tried to suppress the ministers and artificially create party disputes. In the Wanli period, it finally got free, and the party struggle gradually broke away from the emperor's control.

Third, not going to court led to the lack of prestige of the emperor himself, and if the prestige was insufficient, he had to use various extreme means to confront the civil officials, which led to the further intensification of the contradictions between the monarch and the ministers.

From the day it descended on the Central Plains, the autocratic imperial power became the source of authority for the entire bureaucratic apparatus based on its monopoly on violence. It should be supreme and inviolable in nature, otherwise it would not be stable enough to be a vast empire.

In order to ensure the imperial power under his control, the emperor naturally had to control the personnel power and the power of life and death in the government. If the emperor is a puppet or cannot exercise imperial power, there will be people who will come out to exercise imperial power on his behalf, and it will be difficult to come up with another system. This point has not changed much except for the gate valve political period of the Eastern Jin Dynasty.

The long-term trend of strengthening the so-called absolute monarchy in Chinese history can actually be understood as the emperor's direct intervention in administrative affairs has been better guaranteed in the system.

This is the scope, in the small range where Wei Bao is now, whoever has the most power is the 'emperor' in this small area, so Wei Bao came up with such a 'rumor' to let the suspects expose each other.

After Lin Wenbiao hesitated for a moment, he still attached his ear, translated President Wei's meaning into his own words, and then instructed Aixin Jueluo Lu Lu.

Aixin Jueluo Lu Lu understood when he heard it, and he was also startled, as the small leader of Nurhachi's personal guard, he had been following the Great Khan for a long time, although his position was low, but he was also a person who had lived in the inner circle of the Jiannu high-level for a long time, and his political insight was not bad.

Aixin Jueluo Lu Lu looked at Lin Wenbiao suspiciously, and asked softly: "In that case, I'm afraid it will involve a lot of people?" ”

"Yes, the more the merrier, it's better to let the people of Shepherd Fort and Fuzhou City die!" Lin Wenbiao said coldly.

Being able to make the opponent's people consume a lot without fighting is naturally the result that Lin Wenbiao wants to see, because Lin Wenbiao knows that this is the result that President Wei wants to see!

Wang Bing was tired, so he handed over the action of torture to his subordinates to complete, and proudly went to Aixin Jueluo Lu Lu's side: "General, how is it?" I handed over these more than 200 prisoners to the Great Khan, and I can be regarded as having an explanation for what happened last night, right? Coupled with my personal willingness to pay money to support the general's men who were burned to death in the fire, this matter should be able to be suppressed, right? ”

Aixin Jueluo Lu Lu shook his head and said, "Brother, what you think is too simple!" ”

"Huh? What the? Wang Bing was stunned, and asked himself that this set of aftermath disposal has been dealt with perfectly, right? Why does this guy still say that he thinks simply? "Please make it clear to the general."

"It's not a problem with how many people make it! The most important thing is to be figured out by things, the person you beat like this confesses, and the fool knows how you did it! Moreover, once these people are sent to Shengjing City, do you think they will not retract their confessions? "Love Xin Jueluo Lu Lu said.

"So, what then? What does the general mean, do you want me to spend some more money to check these things with the officials who are specifically handling these things? Wang Bing asked in astonishment, although he felt that Aixin Jueluo Lu Hao seemed to be making a big fuss, making a big deal about a trivial matter, and some alarmist, but it was about himself, and he didn't dare to be careless.

"You still haven't figured out what I mean, it's not something to be taught, it's you who want to do things beautifully, so that people don't get caught and look like you're impartial, understand?" Aixin Jueluo Lu sells Guan Zidao.

Wei Bao and Lin Wenbiao listened to it on the side, thinking it was funny, and secretly praised this Aixin Jueluo Lu Lu Lu is indeed a talent, given time, no matter whether this guy has the talent to govern the army or uphold government, anyway, he is a good hand at being an official! At least when he is forty or fifty years old, it is very possible to be a high-ranking official at the level of deputy flag master of Jiannu.

"I still don't understand, please make it clear to the general." Wang Bing said in fear.

Aixin Jueluo Lu Lu made a gesture for Wang Bing to get closer.

Wang Bing hurriedly listened to it.

Aixin Jueluo Lu Lu then told Lin Wenbiao about his bad tricks to let the criminals expose and report each other.

Wang Bingyi sweated, he didn't expect Aixin Jueluo Lu Hao to make such a move, so could it be: "General, there are so many people here, if this is the case, will it involve too many people?" Isn't this a big deal about the little things that can be suppressed? ”

"I'm doing this for your good, and it's also for the good of the Great Khan! How is this going to be big? Can you be sure that the murderer must have been among the more than 200 people? In the future, if someone finds out that the murderer and arson are not among these people, and you kill so many people without catching the real culprit, will you be very responsible? If the border town has another incident because of your negligence, can you afford to be guilty? Aixin Jueluo Lu Lu frightened.

The more Wang Bing listened, the more frightened he became, his eyes widened, and he said vigorously: "What the general said, what the general said." ”

Aixin Jueluo Lu Lu's words made Wang Bing have to obey, because what Aixin Jueluo Lu Lu said seemed to have no personal interests at all, and it seemed to be completely impartial, completely for the sake of the Great Khan and the Dajin court.

"Hurry up, shall we? Don't fight, if you fight again, it's just that they can confess by themselves, and they have to bring out more accomplices and bring in the real murderer. Aixin Jueluo Lu Hao urged.

"Yes, I'll have someone interrogated right away!" Wang Bing hurriedly said. After speaking, he ordered his subordinates to stop: "You all listen! Each of you truthfully explained how many people were involved in the arson last night, and whatever you wanted! Don't even think about hiding anything, otherwise the fight will be even more fierce! Do you understand everything? ”

More than 200 people who were frightened to death, mechanical, instinctive, although they didn't know what to confess? But now I just want to stop the fate of being beaten quickly, whatever Wang Bing wants them to confess, they will confess, and they will not hesitate to kill their father and mother.

Subsequently, under the interrogation of Wang Bing's subordinates, under the 'supervision' and 'help and guidance' of Lin Wenbiao and others, each suspect confessed a large number of 'accomplices'!

In the afternoon, a huge shepherd fort, a military town of nearly 6,000 people, almost one counted, and no one could escape the fate of being reported and exposed.

After all, no one is perfect, not to mention that these are all ruffians and scum.

Even if there is no evidence of direct arson, no one has done anything less than killing people and stealing goods, fleeing from battle, robbing people's property, killing people, and killing people and setting fires.

The scope of reporting is getting wider and wider, and everyone's stain is becoming clearer.

Just when Wang Bing was secretly scared and felt that things seemed to be getting more and more difficult to end, General Nahai and Liu Aita from Fuzhou City came over.

Before, when Liu Aita was preparing to take the Han people in the area of Fuzhou City, when he returned to the Ming Dynasty, Wang Bing reported Liu Aita, but the evidence was insufficient, and Nurhachi did not accept it, and demoted Liu Aita to retention.

So Wang Bing met Liu Aita for the first time since this time, and they were a little embarrassed with each other, although the atmosphere was not tense, it also implied a blade!

However, Wang Bing was not very afraid that Liu Aita would 'mess' with him because of this matter, because the military and political chief who was really in charge of Fuzhou City was actually General Nahai who led more than 3,000 elite iron cavalry.

"What the hell is going on? Shepherd Fort killed people and set fire to them last night? Mixed in with a lot of spies? As soon as General Nahai saw Wang Bing, he asked with a split face.

Liu Aita was silent beside General Nahai.

Wang Bing first glanced at his old boss, took him to Liu Aita, Liu Xingzuo, who defected to Jiannu, and then said to General Nahai: "I am already sending someone to investigate and collect evidence." Please don't worry generals. ”

Although Nahai is not a talented person and is unknown in history, as the son of Fei Yingdong, he has a respected status, and as a second-generation official, he grew up with his father and the Great Khan since he was a child, and his ability will not be too bad.

Nahai was anxious, and immediately said, "Go and see, who have you arrested?" ”

With Nahai's understanding of Wang Bing, he knew that Wang Bing would definitely arrest a group of people, and then casually buckle his hat, even if this matter was covered up, after all, if it weren't for the death of a dozen pro-soldiers around the Great Khan, this matter would not be a big deal.

"Yes." Wang Bing hurriedly led the way for General Nahai and Liu Xingzuo.

"You sent someone to say that the Great Khan had sent an inspector? The inspector and a dozen of his men were burned to death? General Nahai asked as he walked.

"Yes, the trouble is here, otherwise, it's a trivial matter." Wang Bing sighed.

"What about the Inspector?" General Nahai asked.

"It's over there, too." Wang Bingdao.

"Now the people around the Great Khan are becoming more and more diligent in their work." General Nahai was a little depressed, and what he was most afraid of was that he would send someone from above, and then report the local situation indiscriminately.

General Nahai asked Liu Xingzuo beside him with a sideways face: "General Liu, what do you think?" ”

"What should I do, killing people and setting fires, and being in the barracks, this matter can be big or small. If there is anything, we will report it truthfully. Liu Xingzuo pushed it all away with a word. This happened in Shepherd Fort, not about him and Nahai, at least, they are not directly responsible!

General Nahai instantly understood what Liu Xingzuo meant, nodded, made a straight face, and glared at Wang Bing. If it weren't for Wang Bing's frequent 'filial piety' for him, he wouldn't want to come and meddle in himself, so he stayed in Fuzhou City, and let Liu Aita deal with anything else, and then listen to the report and make a decision.

Wang Bing's heart was uneasy, but he could only laugh.

General Nahai and Liu Xingzuo came to the cell.

Originally, there were only a few large wooden huts that were used as prison cells for the time being, and at first, only prisoners were held in one of them.

But now, not only are several large wooden huts full of people, but even the two large barracks in the vicinity have been turned into prison cells, full of suspects.

General Nahai and Liu Xingzuo were taken aback.

General Nahai asked Wang Bing, who was beside him, "How many people have you arrested?" ”

"I don't know, there should be thousands of people now, right? Maybe almost two thousand! Wang Bing replied uneasily: "It's not what I mean, it's the inspector General Aixin Jueluo Lu Lu who said that the real murderer must be found out, and the real murderer must not be allowed to slip through the net, so the more people are caught, the more people are arrested!" ”

"Who gave him so much power? Have you seen his letterboard? General Nahai asked with a frown.

"I've seen it, it's indeed someone sent by the Great Khan." Wang Bing replied.

General Nahai touched his mouth, felt that the matter was very tricky, and glared at Wang Bing fiercely: "You did a good thing!" ”

Wang Bing panicked: "General, please rest assured, as long as the general is handed over to me, I will never implicate the general." ”

General Nahai snorted: "Have you disposed of it?" We are the border army, not the imperial history of the Great Khan's Imperial Inspectorate! Do you have the right to dispose of it? ”

Wang Bing blinked his eyes and said softly: "Although I don't have so much power, the Inspector seems to have it, and besides, I can get along with the Inspector Lord." ”

General Nahai was speechless for a few seconds, then sighed: "Okay! Let's meet this Inspector first! ”

General Nahai really can't figure it out, it is necessary to catch a spy, and then arrest half of the small battalion?
