Tianci saw that Master Zheng didn't say anything clearly, so he said to him: "Brother Zheng, please follow me to the guest room to discuss it. I have something I want to ask in person." After saying this, Tianci walked to a guest room, and Mr. Zheng headed the escort.

I had no choice but to follow him inside.

After arriving in the room and sitting down, Tianci took out something from his arms and handed it to the escort Zheng. The escort took it and saw that it was a piece of bamboo about the size of a waistband, with a vivid koi carving carved on it.

After seeing this object, Zheng Biaotou was shocked and quickly asked Tianci: "Where did this object come from?"

"I found it in the hidden compartment under the car. If it doesn't belong to your escort agency, it must have been left by the thief. It seems that Brother Zheng recognizes this thing?"

"Hmm." Chief Zheng hesitated for a moment and continued: "This thing is the badge of the 'Forbidden Guards', a secret organization of the royal family in the capital during the Wuji period." Then, he told Tianci about the origin of this organization.

.

At that time, the power of the Forbidden Army in the capital was very large. Relying on their influence in the court, officials at all levels of the Forbidden Army formed cliques for personal gain, and corruption was very serious. Later, after Yuwen's son Yuwen Haotian was promoted to the commander of the Forbidden Army, in order to supervise the military discipline of the Forbidden Army,

To punish factional corruption within the army, a very small number of elites were selected from the Forbidden Army to form the "Forbidden Army Guards" organization. Although there were only thirty or fifty people at the time, it was very effective. In less than a year, the illegal members of the Forbidden Army were eliminated.

All officials were purged, military discipline and appearance were greatly improved, and it also won an excellent reputation among the people.

Later, even the emperor at the time used this organization to investigate many major cases and eliminate many dissidents. Therefore, it won the emperor's trust and reuse, and gradually became a royal secret organization specifically serving the royal family, responsible for investigating some

The intelligence collection, secret reconnaissance, arrests and even assassinations of important officials of the imperial court were very powerful and the scale expanded to hundreds of people.

"Their waist tags have a koi carp on them. It is said to be taken from the emblem of the Yuwen family. Some waist tags have the word "Diao" engraved on them. These people are responsible for setting up traps and reconnaissance. Some have the word "catching" engraved on them.

They are specifically responsible for arresting and executing people. So the people also call them 'Fishing and Fishing Bureau'." Zheng Biaotou pointed to the pattern on the bamboo sign and said to Tianci: "This bamboo sign does not have these two characters engraved on it.

The characters indicate that this person is an executive-level figure in charge of these two types of people."

Tianci nodded, but then asked with some confusion: "Since Brother Zheng is a escort for the imperial court, why did the imperial court send someone from the fishing bureau to commit theft?"

"No, this fishing bureau was disbanded and reorganized more than ten years ago and no longer exists. Later, all the personnel related to it were arrested or killed as members of the disloyal party." Head Guard Zheng continued.

.

After Yuwen Haotian, the eldest son of the Yuwen family, was crowned king, he was transferred to the Northern Territory and became the King of Zhenbei. A small number of middle- and high-level officials from the Forbidden Army and Imperial Guards at that time followed Yuwen Haotian to the Northern Territory, and the rest remained in the capital.

After Yuwen Haotian was transferred, the commander of the imperial army was changed to Huang Shenyuan, the queen's brother. After Huang Shenyuan took office, he reorganized the original "imperial army guards" into "Tianji Department". The people in "Tianji Department" all have a tattoo on their arms.

With a tiger tattoo, the people also called it the "Black Tiger Hall". From then on, the "Forbidden Guards" or the "Fishing Bureau" disappeared from the world until a few years later, the Yuwen family was executed by the Nine Clan for treason.

, the 'Tianji Chu' carried out a bloody purge of the original 'Forbidden Army Guards', and strangled many people who were considered to be related to the Yuwen family. After that, the 'Tianji Chu' (Black Tiger Hall) carried out another

It was expanded and adapted, separated from the Forbidden Army, and became a secret organization truly commanded by the imperial court. The then Emperor Wu Beikun designated Qiao Bensheng, the Minister of Internal Security, to personally serve as the commander of the 'Tianji Department' (Black Tiger Hall), and was directly responsible to him.

Wu Beikun used the "Tianji Chu" (Black Tiger Hall) to carry out a frantic extermination of the supporters of the imperial family and the sympathizers of the Yuwen family inside and outside the court. The "Tianji Chu" (Black Tiger Hall) also had great power for a while, but could do anything without the approval of the judicial organs.

Being able to supervise and apprehend subjects at will, and hunt and kill them arbitrarily, set off a terrifying bloody storm in the capital.

"At that time, if you had such a waist card in your hand, you might lose your head at any time. In fact, it is similar now, but no one has seen this thing again for a long time." Zheng Biaotou raised his hand.

The waist card said to Tianci.

"Then it can be considered that the people of Zhenbei King Yuwen Haotian stole the box?" Tianci asked.

"Well, maybe." Officer Zheng nodded.

"Why? You must know what is in this box," Tianci asked.

Chief Zheng lowered his head and was silent for a moment, then said: "The box actually contains some documents and accounting books. It was a escort received from a businessman in the northern Shanxi county. This escort was entrusted by an important minister in the court.

The money given to my boss included two large boxes, and they were all paid in advance. However, the client picked up my boss’s eleven-year-old third son and said that he wanted to come to his house to play with the young master for some time.

, you can take them back when the escort arrives. They are obviously being used as hostages. That's all I know." After saying that, escort Zheng buried his head in his hands in pain: "I was the one who harmed the third young master.

ah!"

Tianci patted Zheng Biaotou on the shoulder and comforted him for a while. He originally wanted to show the jade he was wearing to Zheng Biaotou to see if he knew the origin. But from what he said, he knew nothing about the Yuwen family.

Not much, and I didn’t even know that Pisces was the emblem of the Yuwen family, so I didn’t mention it again.

"Brother Zheng, since there are documents and account books inside, I will immediately order all checkpoints inside and outside the city to conduct strict inspections of such objects, and try my best to recover the lost belongings of Brother Zheng. Brother Zheng, don't be too concerned for the time being.

Be anxious, give me a day or two." Although Tianci said this, he knew very well in his heart that there was almost no possibility of chasing the boomerang, and he was just trying to comfort Brother Zheng.

"Without further delay, brother, I'll take my leave first and go back so that we can make arrangements." Tianci stood up and said goodbye.

"Wait a minute!" Chief Zheng stood up and said, "You can take this thing. Mr. Zhang is still worried about catching the thief. No matter what the result is, I, Zheng, have accepted this information and I will do my best to repay it in the future."

Then, he handed the waist card in his hand to Tianci.

"Brother Zheng, you're welcome. This is just my job. In addition, this belt was left to you by the man in black. He must have given instructions. You should keep it by your side. It may or may not be useful in the future."

After saying that, Tianci walked out of the guest room door and led several officers and soldiers out of the inn without looking back.
