Chapter 586: City-wide Search

After the negotiation, the British public saw that it was dark, and refused Wang Xian to stay for dinner, and said lightly, "Everything is handed over to you, and I will bear any responsibility." So he let Wang Xian deal with the specific errand, and went home for dinner by himself. In the eyes of the British public, who are accustomed to seeing strong winds and waves, although the assassination of King Han is not a trivial matter, it is not a major event.

Of course, there is Wang Xian, a bull who is praised by everyone, as his deputy, so that Grandpa Guo can be completely relieved to be the shopkeeper. Zhang Fu also believes that a young and ambitious guy like Wang Xian definitely doesn't like to have a layman boss dictating. Just sell him well, let him watch and toss by himself.

The British duke's decision is very famous, although he is in contact with Wang Xian for the first time, but from his past experience, he knows that he is a person with a strong desire for power and control, and this way to deal with the relationship between the two is undoubtedly more than saying 10,000 good words, which can win Wang Xian's favor.

Wang Xian was helpless about the fact that the British public was in charge, and he also felt that it was cool to do so. He asked people to prepare documents for sea fishing, ordered the prefectures and counties under the jurisdiction of Tianfu to block water and land transportation, and sent a note to the local government to escort the bow and arrow masters into Beijing, etc., and wrote to Yingtianfu, ordering them to assist the Zhenfu Division in searching for Gyeonggi!

Although I know that this has no effect, the momentum must be sufficient, otherwise how can it reflect the emperor's concern for the King of Han, and how can it reflect the great importance that the court attaches to this case? As for whether it is irresponsible to the state finances to spend such a large amount of manpower and material resources, this has never been an issue that the secret services should consider.

At this time, it was completely dark, and on the large flat in the courtyard of the Zhenfu Division, the blazing torches and bright lanterns illuminated the courtyard as bright as white ground.

The officials of more than 100 households in Beizhen Fusi were all solemnly lined up in the courtyard, looking ahead, and there was only the occasional 'crackling' sound of torches burning in the air, and the rest was silent at all. Although he has only been in office for more than a month, the current Beizhen Fusi is no longer the one he used to be, all the officers who disagree with him have been purged out, and the power is firmly in the hands of the internal and external signing rooms, and the newly promoted officers are all a group of people who have been excluded and not promoted in the past, and these people are full of gratitude to Wang Xian, even more fanatical than his cronies in the signing room.

Wang Xian was dressed in a crimson regimental collar and narrow-sleeved military attache uniform, with a short-winged black gauze hat on his head, a wide black velvet cloak on his shoulders, and a Jinyiwei's signature embroidered spring knife around his waist. The firelight was swaggering, and his face became more and more contoured, and his facial features were like knives. Wang Xian's whole body was straight and solemn, only the index finger of his right hand on the handle of the knife was silently knocking on the hilt.

The pacification envoy was obviously waiting for something, and after a while, he heard a rush of footsteps, but none of the officers turned back. The man seemed to pass through a row of wooden stakes and whispered to Wang Xian at the bottom of the steps: "There is a will! When the king of Han was assassinated, a mediocre member of Tianfu and Jiangning County was duty-bound, and ordered the Fusi of Beizhen to arrest the criminals and send them to prison, and inquire whether there was any collusion with bandits and murder of the prince! ”

"The ministers obey the holy commandment." Wang Xian hurriedly took the edict with both hands, checked it under the light, and said to the eunuch who passed the decree: "Dare to ask my father-in-law whether to go back to reply to the decree, or stay as a prisoner?" ”

"The prison army doesn't dare to be," the eunuch said politely: "But at this time, the palace gate is locked, and our family can't go back, so let's go with the adults." ”

"Okay, please come here." Wang Xian took a step to the side, letting the eunuch stand side by side with him, and then said to his subordinates in a cold voice: "The tasks of the three places have changed, first arrest the officials of Ying Tianfu and Jiangning Mansion." ”

"Yes!" Zhou Yong roared with the people from the three places, saluted Wang Xian and turned to go out, and took his Jinyi guards out of the courtyard gate with a gust of wind.

The people to be arrested set off, and Wang Xiancai asked the eunuch: "Originally, the whole city was going to be searched, but now the officials of Ying Tianfu have been imprisoned, I don't know who the emperor will temporarily put in charge?" ”

"Hehe, it's Xue Fuyin." The eunuch said with a smile: "Xue Fu Yin thought about it behind closed doors at home because of the fire on the Shangyuan Festival before, but he escaped this catastrophe, and now the emperor is thundering and angry, and he can only let the officials on the ground of Ying Tianfu come back to the end." ”

"That's a good feeling." Wang Xian was also a lot relieved: "With Xue Fu Yin out of the mountain, the hope of solving the case has increased greatly." ”。

Overnight, the people of the capital felt the thunderous wrath of the emperor, a group of brocade guards with leather boots, and Ying Tianfu officials wearing big red uniforms, rudely knocked on the doors of every house, and after a little delay, the door was kicked open, and then the wolf-like soldiers rushed in, controlled everyone, and ordered them to stretch out their hands to check. At the same time, as long as there is no name in the household register, no one is known to Bao Jia, and those with calluses on their fingers will be arrested.

This night, Zhenfu Si and Ying Tianfu didn't know how many people were arrested, and they filled up all the prisons of Ying Tianfu, and finally had to find an empty warehouse as a temporary cell, so as to solve the problem of overcrowding in the prison.

On this night, the people of the capital were panicked, and no one slept. When it was daybreak, they found that the city gates were closed, and every land and water passage was blocked. Outside the capital, it was no better, the officials of the prefectures and counties and the soldiers of the guards were mobilized, blocking water and land transportation, everyone was not allowed to pass without leading the way, and even if they led the way, they had to be strictly inspected before they could be released, and anyone with calluses on their thumbs was taken into custody and sent to Beizhen Fusi.

Farther away from the surrounding prefectures and counties, although the atmosphere is not so tense, but the government began to clean up the rivers and lakes, those big and small gangs are unlucky, all the masters who can shoot arrows, middle hands, and low hands are all arrested and sent to the capital!

In a word, both inside and outside the capital have entered a highly tense state of martial law because of the assassination of the King of Han, and the government has only one code of conduct, that is, high-pressure sweeping, rather than indulgence!

There was a lot of noise inside and outside the capital, and the pedestrians on the street were reduced by half, and even the market was greatly affected...... The prosperity of Nanjing City, how much effort he has soaked! But he was reinstated because of the assassination of King Han, how could he get cheap and behave? What's more, in this sweep, I don't know how many vicious criminals have been caught, and even some cancerous gangs have been uprooted, which can be regarded as an unexpected gain. So he has been silent, and he will do whatever the Zhenfu Division tells him to do.

However, Xue Juzheng watched it, and the imperial historians really couldn't stand it, if it weren't for the tacit alliance with Wang Xian, they would have impeached him for abusing his power and harming the people. However, they couldn't pretend to be deaf and dumb, so after some discussion, they sent the criminal department to Yang Yan to make peace with Wang Xian.

Speaking of which, the Criminal Division supervises the Criminal Department, Dali Temple and Beizhen Fusi, which can also be regarded as the supervision department of Beizhen Fusi. However, before Beizhen Fusi has always regarded himself as the emperor's order, he has never been a bird in the criminal department, and it was only after Wang Xian came to power that he began to buy face in the criminal department, at least all the driving posts were signed by the criminal department first, so Section Chief Yang still has a good impression of Wang Xian.

On this day, Wang Xian was about to go out in the yamen, when he heard that Section Chief Yang was coming, he hurriedly greeted him in person, took Yang Yan's hand affectionately and said with a smile: "Rare guests, welcome leaders to come and guide." ”

Although it was strange to listen to Wang Xian's words, Yang Yan could still hear that he was patting himself on the back, so he smiled and said: "Where, there are too many driving posts sent by your company, and there are few people in the criminal department, so I can't be busy, so I have to make a trip." ”

"The section chief will inform you and let the people below pick it up." Wang Xian said and glared at Wu Wei beside him: "Didn't you let people be in the criminal department around the clock." ”

"It's also that there are too many drivers," Wu Wei explained in a low voice, "It is inevitable that there will be times when the front and rear feet cannot be connected." ”

"Then send more people, and let Section Chief Yang personally run, it's not like that!" Wang Xian reprimanded.

"Alas, Wang Zhen's words are serious," Wu Wei knew that Wang Xian was acting, and nodded with a 'sincere fear'. Seeing this, Section Chief Yang hurriedly waved his hand and said, "It's nothing for the lower officials to run errands. He smiled and said, "Besides, I really have something to do, I want to make peace with adults." ”

"Inside, please." Wang Xian invited Section Chief Yang to sit in the living room, served tea again, and then asked, "I don't know what the section chief has to teach?" ”

"I can't talk about teaching," there are full of stinky stones in the matter, and Section Chief Yang has to deal with the chiefs of various yamen, so he can be considered to be a little bit of a listener, but he is also a little bit of a listener, "I just want to ask my lord, have you sent more driving posts in the past two days?" ”

"Extraordinary times, it's inevitable." Wang Xian smiled when he heard this: "His Royal Highness the King of Han was assassinated, the emperor was furious, how can he calm the holy anger if he doesn't arrest a few more people?" ”

"Having said that, there are too many people who can be arrested," Yang Yan said patiently, "Many people are not assassins at all, but they have not been heard from when they are captured by the government." The people of the capital are unbearable, and they are afraid that when the family will let the government take them away, and in the long run, I am afraid that there will be chaos. ”

"My Section Chief Yang," Wang Xian smiled helplessly: "At this time, I can't take care of the people, I have to take care of the emperor first!" This kind of thing is impossible for ordinary readers, but Wang Xian said without any obstacles. He said with a straight face: "If it is replaced by Ling Gongzi who is almost killed, may I ask how the section chief will feel?" ”

"Of course it's very angry." Yang Yan said: "But I also know that there is a debtor who is wronged, and it will not affect the innocent." ”

"The problem is that the enemy is hiding and can't be found for a while." Wang Xian spread his hands and said: "You can only cast a net all over the sky like this." ”

"If you can't find it, you should find a way to find it, not affect the innocent." Yang Yan said.

"That's the reaction of us ordinary people. But the emperor is the Son of Heaven, and the wrath of the Son of Heaven is ambushed by millions of corpses and bleeding thousands of miles! Wang Xian said in a deep voice: "Now that the emperor has handed over this case to us courtiers to handle, we can only try to make the emperor angry, if the emperor is not satisfied, he has to personally intervene in this case, then it is not to arrest people, but to kill people!" ”
