Tomorrow morning at the latest, I have to submit the results to the emperor.
Jiang Wan was thinking about it in her room. In the distance, there were faint sounds of crying and pleading. The training of the young men in Tingyulou included torture training. How to torture people was also an internship for them.
opportunity.
"Sir, shopkeeper Xu wants to see you!"
Someone walked in to report. Jiang Wan was slightly startled: "Invite him in!"
Is there anything important to come to see him at this time? Jiang Wan murmured slightly in her heart. Seeing Xu Bai's solemn face as he walked in, she was even more convinced of this.
"Mr. Jiang, I heard some news, so I came here to report to you..."
Xu Bai looked a little cautious. He lost the casualness when he got along with Jiang Wan. He lowered his voice and said, "Someone wrapped a note with a stone and threw it into my house. I guess it was the same as in the afternoon."
If it’s relevant and I don’t dare to delay, I’ll send it to Mr. Jiang!”
Jiang Wan took the note he handed over and saw the word "Jingjun" crookedly written on the note with charcoal strips. From these two words alone, he could conclude that the note was sent to Xu.
The person in the white room must be someone from Shangshan Supervisor.
In Shangshan Prison, the most indispensable thing is charcoal sticks.
"Oh, I know! Jiang Wan put the note away: "Some people are afraid that I will forget this matter, so I remind you, but there is no harm in it!"
"That's good, I'm afraid of delaying Mr. Jiang's affairs!" Xu Bai nodded with relief: "If everything is okay, I will go back. The food for the brothers is ready for the evening. If you are hungry, call for instructions.
Call them and I’ll ask them to send them over!”
"Thank you!" Jiang Wan smiled.
"By the way, Mr. Jiang..." Xu Bai walked to the door and turned around: "When I entered the palace, I don't know if my brother knew about it. I was afraid that he would find out that I was not in the building and he was a little anxious. This
Sometimes, if you cause trouble because of me, it won’t be good!”
"Don't worry about it. I'll send someone to tell him tomorrow!" Jiang Wan smiled: "You can rest peacefully and be busy for a while. It will be of great benefit to you in the future!"
"I understand!" Xu Bai chuckled, "Thank you very much, Mr. Jiang. I won't say anything more if I'm grateful. My Xu family brothers will be at the mercy of Mr. Jiang from now on!"
After Xu Bai left, Jiang Wan patted her forehead and immediately called over the team responsible for investigating the case: "Su Yue and Wang Deqiang, immediately check whether any of the people you arrested have done anything in the palace.
Jingjun’s and others also screened among their own suspects and almost forgot about this matter!"
After that, he explained the origin of the Jing Army to his subordinates. The young men all widened their eyes. Apparently, there was an army composed of eunuchs in the palace, which made them very surprised.
Although the original intention of this strange army was to have fun with the emperor, this was beyond their understanding.
"Go and check, immediately!" Jiang Wan's face was very serious.
The teenagers realized Jiang Wan's attitude and hurriedly turned away. Not long after, they immediately reported the news back.
The two people in the Internal Affairs Prison, one who resisted arrest and the other who committed suicide, were both from the Jingjun Army. Among the other people arrested in the Shangshan Prison, three of them were from the Jingjun Army, and the suspects in other cases were also more or less different.
Someone from the Jing Army appeared.
"Continue to torture and pull these people out individually!" Jiang Wan ordered: "I want to know how many people there are in their so-called pure army and what weapons they are equipped with. Who has the specific list?"
He looked at everyone: "I am going to the Qianqing Palace right now. Before I come back, I hope I can get an answer!"
At this time, it was already getting very late. Jiang Wan and his men hurried towards the Qianqing Palace not far away. He finally realized that he had overlooked something.
On the first day when he was guarding Zhu Youjian in the Qianqing Palace, he swore to Zhu Youjian that as long as there was no army to attack, his people would be more than enough to defend against a few assassins.
However, there is a real army in the palace, and the strength of this army is definitely not bad. At least, they are also equipped with firearms.
If Wei Zhongxian jumps over the wall in a hurry, then this army is his biggest support. He ignored it before, but it shouldn't be too late to make amends now. He just takes advantage of these few cases to completely dismantle and eliminate this so-called pure army. Don't let them become a hidden danger in the palace.
"how do you want to do it?"
Zhu Youjian was indeed not asleep yet. When he heard Jiang Wan's report, his expression suddenly became serious: "At this time, if the guards are mobilized to arrest these people, it will inevitably cause riots in the palace. If someone takes the opportunity, If you fan the flames and encourage them to cause chaos, that would be a big deal!"
"There is no need to mobilize the imperial guards!" Jiang Wan said: "The imperial guards only prohibit the movement of personnel from various prisons and bureaus in the palace. Let the ministers and ministers handle the arrests. They will declare to other palace residents that they arrested yesterday's murder case. The murderer can avoid the panic of other palace residents to the greatest extent!"
"I only want His Majesty's will!"
"Do it!" Zhu Youjian nodded: "I'm right here, waiting for your reward. Wei Zhongxian, the old dog, has made this palace a mess. I don't want to see this dirty army again!"
"I accept the decree!" Jiang Wan nodded, bowed and retreated, and heard Zhu Youjian instructing Wang Chengen: "Call the minister of the Imperial Guard tonight to convey my decree and order him to guard all the forbidden areas in the palace. Jiang Wan and those who hold the waist badge of the former guards of the Ten Princes' Palace are prohibited from moving around, and those who resist the order will be killed on the spot!"
After exiting the Qianqing Palace, Jiang Wan breathed a sigh of relief. He was now a little grateful to the guy who reminded him. He decided that when tonight was over, he would find that guy and thank him properly.
"How about it!"
Back at the station, Jiang Wan frowned and the torture continued. However, it was obvious that these guys from the Pure Army were not going to tell Jiang Wan what he wanted for a while.
"Be harsh, don't worry about their life or death!" Jiang Wan said coldly in front of the dying guys: "If one dies, just replace it with the next one. There are always people who don't want to die here! "
"yes!"
The teenagers responded in unison, and the dying guys raised their heads and looked at Jiang Wan, with despair in their eyes.
"Whoever speaks out first now, spare his life, and all the others will be executed!" Jiang Wan said slowly: "I am not patient enough. If no one says anything within the time of a stick of incense, everyone will be executed!"
"I said!"
"I said!"
Almost at the same time, several people shouted loudly.
Jiang Wan looked at the first person to shout, "What's your name!? Do you know all the questions they asked?"
"The little one, the little one's name is Li Ergou! I know everything the adults ask!"
"Li Ergou, congratulations!" Jiang Wan nodded slightly and said to the people behind him: "Li Ergou lives, everyone else dies!"
