Wang Xianggan returned to Wuchang Mansion.

Eighteen bandits were temporarily imprisoned.

Just like his father Wang Zhiyuan's worries, Wang Xianggan had already thought it through on the way back, and catching these people would not mean anything.

If the subsequent interrogation is fruitless, this effort will not only be in vain, but will also alarm the situation, and the subsequent work designation will be more difficult to carry out.

Therefore, interrogation is particularly important.

Wang Xianggan felt that he was not good at this, so he ran to ask his father Wang Zhiyuan.

"Dad, how do you think you should examine it next?"

"If you encounter someone who is not afraid of death, then it will be useless no matter how you judge it." Wang Zhiyuan replied.

"That's why I came to ask my father. I have tried all kinds of thieves. Is there any wonderful method I can teach me, otherwise I'd be afraid of being in vain."

"Torturing and beating against them is definitely not possible, they don't even take that kind of trick."

"What method then?"

"In my opinion, I don't rush to review. I will try my best to find out their origins first and make sure they are not alone. If so, then there is no need to review them. You will definitely have a waste of trouble; if not, we will find a way to find a way slowly, and maybe there will be hope."

"Well, my father is right." Wang Xianggan nodded at first, and then said, "But even checking their origins is not an easy task. What if they don't speak one by one?"

Wang Zhiyuan murmured: "No matter what, first of all, we must find their weakness."

...

Zhu Yiliu soon received news from Wang Xianggan.

After Wang Xianggan returned to Wuchang Mansion, he immediately rushed to deliver the news to the capital in 800 miles.

At first, Zhu Yiliu was also very excited.

But after thinking about it, I quickly figured it out that the problem was far from that simple.

The 18 bandits were nothing more than bringing them to justice, but what about the people behind them? The key was to uproot the organization behind them.

Killing is easy, just like the one hundred and forty-eight people who are known as refugees, they can die without a place to die in one sentence, but the root cause is not solved.

Wang Xianggan must have realized this problem, so he rushed to ask him for instructions.

However, he also had a headache. There was no ID card in this world, no technology that identified faces or fingerprints.

If the person being interrogated just doesn't speak, it is not easy to check his origins.

Unless someone knows him.

But where are the people who know him? What reason are there to correct him? Such a terrifying organization, how many people dare to go against them?

So this is all a problem.

But finally I found a useful line and must not give up easily.

Zhu Yili thought about it again and again.

Finally, he made a decision and immediately sent a letter to Wang Xianggan Babaili in a hurry.

The main content of the letter was to divide the eighteen bandits into two, keep half of them in Wuchang Prefecture, and secretly escort the other half to the capital.

As for Wang Xianggan's interrogation method, Zhu Yili's reply was: It's casual.

The implication is that any effective interrogation method can be adopted.

...

Wang Xianggan soon received Zhu Yili's order.

He was quite puzzled about this: Why did the eighteen bandits be divided into two? And he also wanted to leave half in Wuchang Prefecture and the other half secretly escorted the capital?

Wang Zhiyuan was also puzzled, "Did Your Majesty think of any good interrogation method?"

"If so, why don't you tell us?" Wang Xianggan said disapprovingly, "If so, why don't you escort all the bandits into the capital?"

"Your Majesty often acts unexpectedly, and it is beyond our ability. It's better to do it according to his will and send it to the nine people in the capital secretly."

Compared to his son Wang Xianggan, Wang Zhiyuan thought he would understand Zhu Yili better. After all, when Zhu Yili was in Jiangling, he had dated him many times.

Before Wang Xianggan, he was just a sixth-rank chief in the Ministry of War. Not to mention getting to know Zhu Yiliu, he usually doesn’t even have the chance to meet.

Wang Xianggan himself admitted this.

Since I can't figure out what Zhu Yili sold in the gourd, I can only do it.

Nine bandits were immediately secretly escorted the capital.

In the letter, Zhu Yili also deliberately explained a detail: cover the eyes of the nine bandits and prevent them from knowing where they were transported.

In this way, according to Zhu Yiliu's intention, one of the eighteen bandits was divided into two, half of which were left in Wuchang Prefecture, and the other half were secretly transported to the capital.

Except for Wang Zhiyuan, Wang Xianggan and his son knew about it, and others knew nothing about it.

Including Zhu Bajie, I don’t know yet.

However, the news of Wang Xianggan using himself as bait and arresting eighteen bandits spread wildly, and it quickly spread in Huguang and Henan.

Of course, it quickly spread to the capital.

...

By checking the difficult origin of Zhu Yiliu, he thought of making an "id card".

An ID card is a very important document for modern people. As the name suggests, an ID card is naturally a document used to prove one's identity.

Although it seems to be just a small card, it actually contains too much personal information, so it is very important to everyone, and it is a valid document that identifies people and distinguishes them from others.

But in ancient times without modern technology support, although people also had ID cards, they were not ID cards in the modern sense, or in ancient times, not everyone had ID cards. In ancient times, ordinary people generally did not have ID cards, and only those with certain status had ID cards.

That is to say, the ID card is not available today, but it has existed since ancient times. However, its origin is the identification symbol of officials. The earliest ID card was during the Warring States Period, when Shang Yang reformed the Qin State and invented the calligraphy letter.

The photo post is distributed by the government. It is a polished and fine bamboo board with the holder's avatar and hometown information engraved on it. Chinese people must hold it. If not, they will be considered as black householders or spies.

By the Sui and Tang Dynasties, the court issued officials a "fish talisman" with similar identities. It was made of wood or metal. It was shaped like a fish, divided into two left and right pieces, and small holes were chiseled in order to tie the pen.

The "Fish Talisman" is engraved with the names of officials, the ranks of officials in office and the ranks of officials.

At that time, all the "fish talismans" used by the prince and officials above the third rank were cast in gold, indicating their high grade status; the "fish talismans" of officials above the fifth rank were silver; the "fish talismans" of officials below the sixth rank were copper. Officials above the fifth rank also had special bags for storing "fish talismans", called "fish treasures".

The main purpose of "fish talisman" is to prove the identity of an official, so that it can be used when calling to enter and exit the palace gate to verify.

According to historical records, "Those who possess fish talismans should show their nobleness and lowliness and should be called." By the time of Wu Zetian, the "fish talisman" was once changed to its "turtle talisman" with a shaped like a turtle, and its purpose was the same as that of the "fish talisman".

By the Song Dynasty, the "fish talisman" was abolished, but the "fish bag" was still worn.

By the Ming Dynasty, "tooth cards" were used instead. This was a plate made of ivory, animal bones, wood, metal, etc., with the name, position, resume and the yamen where the licensee was engraved. It was very close to the card-style ID card in the modern sense.

According to the "Shuyuan Miscellaneous Notes" by Lu Rong, a native of the Ming Dynasty, not only officials hang the tooth cards, but "all those who come and go in the inner palace, regardless of their high or low status, will hang the cards to avoid suspicion."

It can be seen from this that the use of ID cards in the Ming Dynasty was no longer limited to officials, but began to develop towards the middle and lower classes, and the scope gradually expanded.

However, the popularity is still very limited, and it is aimed at those who have a certain status and status, people at the bottom, such as ordinary people, refugees, etc., who still do not have their own valid identity certificates.

Zhu Yili felt that this thing was urgently needed, and the ID card had too many functions.

Not only can you prove yourself and distinguish others, but more importantly, you can maintain social stability.

Just like this time, if everyone has their own ID card, it will be much more convenient to investigate the case.

The Ministry of Revenue is in charge of the national population, and the task of making an ID card can only be handed over to the Ministry of Revenue.

"Come."

As soon as he thought of this, Zhu Yili shouted loudly.

"Long live the Lord."

A close servant on duty came in immediately.

"Summons of the Ministry of Revenue to come and meet with you."

"Long live the new Minister of Revenue, I haven't served as the new Minister of Revenue."

"Damn!" Zhu Yiliu was impatient for a moment and forgot about this, "then call the chief assistant Mr. Shen."

"I'll go now."
