Chapter 41: Deliberations
However, Liu Yin really didn't mean to worry about him, on such an occasion, if he sneered at Zhang Le, he would inevitably lose his identity. He smiled slightly: "The current situation is difficult, His Majesty the Son of Heaven has assassins who dare to assassinate, it can be seen how rampant the hidden enemy will be, the Lieutenant's Mansion is a place to arrest and hunt evil, and it is necessary to be cautious when dealing with these vicious people." Yesterday, I also thought about it, and the lieutenant's right department still needs to strengthen the internal security, so as not to give those forces hiding in the shadows a chance to take advantage of it. All officials above 600 stone need to be equipped with one or two personal guards, and at the same time, when going out to handle cases, they must also strengthen their troops and increase vigilance, our opponents are very cunning and terrifying! ”
Feng Quan and the others nodded yes, obviously appreciating Liu Yin's proposal.
Zhang Le's face couldn't help but blush slightly, and he said quite proudly: "Send more guards, that's not necessary, those local chickens and dogs, I didn't take it to heart." ”
Liu Yin has seen Zhang Le's kung fu, although this fat man looks out of tune, but he has a good martial arts, but unfortunately he still hasn't seen a powerful role, he doesn't know that there are mountains outside the mountains, and there are heavens outside the sky.
Today is Liu Yin's first time taking office, and he must first familiarize himself with the situation of the lieutenant's right office, and Feng Quan, the right officer, made a concise report to Liu Yin.
Lieutenant Youcheng subordinates have the right style of the road, the middle base order, the arsenal order, the capital order, the temple order, the left auxiliary commander, the right auxiliary lieutenant, the left and right lieutenants and other subordinate officials, the lieutenant right Cheng is responsible for the entire Beijing division, prohibiting violence, eliminating adultery, and catching thieves are all within the scope of its duties.
Liu Yin is most concerned about how many people he can mobilize, and after understanding it, the entire Lieutenant Youcheng has more than 1,000 direct subordinates, and this is only the force that can be mobilized near the Beijing Division, if you add the subordinates in other regions, the number is still quite considerable.
Although it is far from the kind of commander who can command thousands of troops and horses in Liu Yin's imagination, the scope of responsibility of the lieutenant's mansion is not too far from the cowhide coaxing brocade guard of the Ming Dynasty in later generations. Historians have verified that it was not until the Ming Dynasty that a relatively complete intelligence agency was established, isn't this nonsense, the Lieutenant's Mansion in the Three Kingdoms era completely has the function of Jinyiwei, but it is relatively low-key, not familiar to the world, and the records of the history books are quite hidden, so people in later generations have always thought that there were no agents before the Ming Dynasty.
In fact, as long as there is war, as long as there is confrontation between countries, there will be spies and agents, and this group of people with a special mission is like mercury leaking, pervasive and unguardable. Counter-espionage is also a long-term and arduous task, and the enemy country will not be destroyed, the spies will not be eliminated, and even even if the enemy country is destroyed, the spies will still exist, and the war on this hidden front is far more cruel and bloody than the fighting on the frontal battlefield.
The Qingcheng Mountain assassination incident against the emperor is the number one major event for the Shu State, and how to solve the case has been implemented in the Lieutenant's Mansion, and the newly appointed lieutenant Liu Yin is even more indispensable.
"Ladies and gentlemen, yesterday His Majesty was assassinated in Qingcheng Mountain, the government and the opposition were shaken, and His Majesty was furious, and he has issued an order asking our Lieutenant's Mansion to thoroughly investigate this case. For us in the Lieutenant's Office, this is also the duty. The predecessor Youcheng has been removed from his post by His Majesty for investigation because of poor inspection, and Liu was ordered to work together with his colleagues to solve the case. ”
Liu Yin sat in the chief, Feng Quan, Zhang Le, Zhao Zhuo, Jia Xun of the middle base, Chen Bin of the arsenal, Ding Yun of the temple order, Guo Ning of the left center, Xu Qian of the right center and others knelt on both sides, and the people were all together. Liu Yin looked around at everyone, and his opening remarks went straight to the point, without saying half a word of nonsense.
Feng Quan took the lead and said: "We know that the case is serious, and we dare not slack off. The crowd echoed in unison.
Liu Yin looked at it coldly, although these people were humble in their words, but they may not be really convinced in their hearts, think about it, no wonder, any bureaucratic system, it also has layers of barriers from top to bottom, and his own little Yu Linlang directly parachuted above their heads, in their eyes, that is the layman, let the layman lead the insider, I'm afraid no one is convinced.
Liu Yin never expected to rely on the emperor's hand-picking, and he could be convincing by others. It's easy to take orally, but if you want to be really convinced, you have to show real skills.
And the Qingcheng Mountain stabbing case is a touchstone, whether Liu Yin can gain a firm foothold in the Lieutenant's Mansion, and whether he can really convince these subordinates, the success or failure depends on this case.
"As you must have seen yesterday, this case is very tricky. There were a total of 36 assassins, except for the main culprit who assassinated His Majesty who escaped, the remaining 35 assassins were all killed on the spot, most of them were killed by the Praetorian Guard, and a few committed suicide by poisoning themselves under their injuries, leaving no one alive. The identities of the Assassins were secret, and there was no identification of the Assassins, i.e., who assigned them. We don't know. However, this assassination was an organized and premeditated operation, and it is not possible for ordinary people to carry out such an assassination operation. Moreover, the motive of the assassin is very obvious, that is, he wants to put His Majesty the Emperor to death, and generally speaking, in addition to personal enmity, it is national hatred. We can simply imagine what kind of people, what kind of forces, are capable of organizing such an assassination? ”
Liu Yin stayed up all night yesterday, that is, in the analysis of the case, many years of special police career, Liu Yin to develop careful thinking, rational logic has been of great help, although the ancient criminal investigation technology and modern times are very different, but any incident must first have a motive, Liu Yin is determined to start from this aspect, peel off the cocoon layer by layer, and find clues.
Feng Quan realized something, and said: "What does Lord Youcheng mean that this assassination is the most suspicious of the anti-Wei spy?" ”
Liu Yin said: "Yes, Your Majesty is on the throne, although there are many enemies, but he has the ability to carry out such a thorough and large-scale assassination operation, which is impossible for ordinary individuals, the Wei State has a huge spy force, and it is obvious that it has this ability, and from the perspective of the consequences of assassinating the emperor, once the assassination is successful, it will definitely cause chaos to the situation in our dynasty, and the Wei State can take the opportunity to march, it can be said that the Wei State is the biggest beneficiary of this assassination incident." ”
Liu Yin instructed people to present the crossbows and all kinds of physical evidence obtained in the bamboo forest yesterday, and said, "Have you noticed that such crossbows can be produced by my court?" ”
