Chapter 1533. Who dares to question the case to be handled by the Criminal Investigation Department? Kill
The Biyuan carriage of the Commander of the Criminal Investigation Department has not appeared in front of the people of the capital for a long time.
Every time I see a Biwan carriage, something big is going to happen, causing an uproar in the capital.
Take the last time I saw the Biyuan carriage as an example. That time, Marquis Shenwu was so domineering. He first demolished the temple that the Tianzhu people believed in, and then shot the Rakshasa business group with a bow in the street.
Outside the Imperial City.
Many people saw the scene that day.
It was a sensation.
Instead of blaming Marquis Shenwu for committing murders and being so cruel and domineering in the streets, the people in the capital praised him greatly. The people all praised Marquis Shenwu for bringing great dignity to the country.
Those Tianzhu people and Rakshasa people had the audacity to kidnap the Criminal Inspector and attack the people of the imperial court. They deserve death. There is no execution method such as quartering the body with five horses and tearing the car apart. It is too cheap for these foreign races.
Today, the majestic carriage with the majesty of an official office and pulled by four big horses appeared in front of the people of the capital again. There was a large group of criminal inspectors in official uniforms and swords in front and behind the carriage.
Caused commotion among the people.
Discussions were buzzing on the street. Everyone already knew that Jin An was returning to Beijing today, and they were all curious to discuss that Marquis Shenwu had just returned to Beijing today and led the Criminal Investigation Department out in full force. What big case was going to be solved?
Then they all discussed what kind of major case could attract the attention of Marquis Shenwu so much that he started traveling non-stop as soon as he returned to Beijing.
Wherever the Criminal Investigation Department passed, more and more people gathered to watch the excitement. Everyone was curious and followed the team, wanting to see what happened.
Spice shop.
Under the orders of several deputy commanders, the Criminal Investigation Department personnel spread out and surrounded the entire spice shop.
In the high-rise attics in the surrounding cities, people heard the noise and commotion outside. They came to the windows and verandahs one after another, looked in the direction of the noise, and saw the scene of people from the Criminal Investigation Department holding torches and surrounding the spice shop.
So many torches formed a huge fire ring, lighting up the night brightly, and people shouting and horses neighing. It was quite spectacular when viewed from above.
At this time, the spice shop was in chaos, and there were many shady people from all walks of life hiding in it. When they suddenly saw the Criminal Investigation Department surrounding the spice shop with such a big fanfare, they all thought they were here for them.
Anyone who hangs out in the spice shop knows one thing well. The spice shop is the domain of the palace servants and the nobles. No one in the court will conflict with the celebrities around the emperor's family over a spice shop.
This spice shop has its own rules, and no outsider can interfere. No matter how long the hands of the three major magicians in the capital are, they still cannot reach into the spice shop.
Because the spice shop not only involves the interests of the servants, but also because many noble concubines in the palace come to the spice shop to purchase their powders and spices.
Which concubine in the harem does not have a strong backing family? There are so many forces intertwined together, and the interests are complicated, so even the three major law ministers cannot reach out to the spice shop.
This resulted in the spice shop having its own rules, and no forces other than the internal servants could get involved. They always lived in peace, which attracted many people from all religions and desperadoes, who all gathered in the spice shop and treated it as their own.
Use as a safe hiding spot.
The spice shop cannot be moved. This is almost an unspoken rule that everyone from the dignitaries to the foreign businessmen in the capital agrees on.
As a result, the spice shop, which had been peaceful for many years, was suddenly broken today. Seeing the Criminal Investigation Department surrounding the spice shop, it seems that they want to use the spice shop to set a precedent. It can be said that one stone caused thousands of waves and shocked many people's jaws.
.
Some curious people began to ask around to find out who the Criminal Investigation Division wanted to arrest when they came to the spice shop this time, but they couldn't tell.
This has aroused even more controversy among the people. Some people say that Marquis Shenwu is so arrogant that he even dares to touch the spice shop. Is it possible that the palace concubines are behind the spice shop?
Some people secretly criticize in their hearts that Marquis Shenwu is a martial arts immortal and is the best in martial arts. There is really no need to worry about the noble family behind the imperial concubine.
Everyone kept these words in their hearts and did not say them out loud to avoid causing disaster to the nine clans.
At this time, several deputy commanders of the Criminal Investigation Department shouted loudly, attracting the attention of all onlookers.
"The Criminal Investigation Department investigated the case and found that some recalcitrant spies of the Steppe Khanate were hiding in the spice shop, intending to carry out revenge for the subjugation of the country. We received an order to thoroughly investigate all the personnel of the spice shop. They were not allowed to enter or leave. If they met any resisters, they would be punished.
Treated as a crime of collaborating with the enemy, he will be sent to the Water Prison of the Criminal Investigation Department. If he meets anyone who resists with weapons, he will be killed on the spot."
Several entrances and exits to the spice shop were blocked by the deputy commander and his men. Several deputy commanders announced the blockade of the spice shop one after another. When they heard that remnants of the Steppe Khanate were hiding in the capital, it caused a huge commotion.
Not long ago, the great witch master of the Grassland Khanate attacked the capital, but it is still vivid in my mind.
Although most ordinary people do not know the details and do not know that the great shaman of the Steppe Khanate personally attacked, they all know that it was the steppe Khanate who wanted to go to Beijing to assassinate the emperor.
When they heard that the Criminal Investigation Department was here to arrest the spies of the Grassland Khanate, many people had such expressions. The current situation in the world is tense, and this reason is the most reasonable.
This reason was given to Deputy Commander Sun by Jin An on the way here.
This reason can be excused from top to bottom. Even if an official wants to get involved with him later, he must carefully consider whether he will be suspected of being a traitor and a spy, whether it will arouse the emperor's suspicion, and whether it is worth it.
When you are in court, every step up is not easy.
There is only one location, but there are dozens of pairs of eyes staring at it.
If you make one wrong move, you will be attacked by alien parties and you will be trapped in a situation that is beyond redemption.
Since ancient times, emperors have been jealous. Officials are most afraid of being jealous of the emperor. Even if they are just a little jealous, their career will be ruined in the future.
Now is the right time, right place, and everyone is in his Criminal Investigation Department. It is the best time for him to take advantage of the opportunity to sweep away the dissidents.
However, there are always some fools who cannot see the situation clearly, and try to defeat the enemy at this juncture, or in order to please the superiors, they are used as cannon fodder without realizing it.
There was still chaos in the spice shop. At this time, a chamberlain and several entourages came to Deputy Commander Sun who was blocking the way. They asked who gave the order to blockade the spice shop. He said that there was an enemy spy hidden in the spice shop. Is there any evidence?
?
This chamberlain was wearing official uniform and was a ninth-grade official. No wonder he dared to confront the deputy commander of the Criminal Investigation Department.
Chamberlains are divided into those without official rank and those with official rank.
Chamberlains with official rank can wear official uniforms, and if they have high official rank, they can also wear court uniforms.
Among the eunuchs with official rank, the eunuchs who serve the emperor's family are the most noble ones. People outside the palace often call such eunuchs "middle nobles". For example, the eunuchs who are favored by the queen are called "middle nobles" by outsiders.
Deputy Commander Sun rode on horseback with a sword and looked at the poor eunuch in front of him with cold eyes. He was so stupid. He still can't see the situation clearly.
He was just a ninth-level chamberlain with no real power, and he was not enough for the deputy commander of the Criminal Investigation Department to dismount to greet him. Deputy Commander Sun ignored this dying person and began to order other people in the Criminal Investigation Department to enter the spice shop to search.
.
"If you see any suspicious persons, they will be taken back for questioning."
"In case of resistance, shoot without mercy."
"Don't let a single fly out of this spice shop today."
Deputy Commander Sun gave these three orders with so much heroism that the brothers in the Criminal Investigation Department were greatly affected, and they all sang loudly with great morale.
The chorus of hundreds of people responded with murderous intent that shook the eardrums, and the momentum was like a march to war. The eunuch, a chamberlain who had lived in the palace for a long time and had been pampered and pampered, had never seen such a murderous scene, and he was so shocked that he took a step back.
When he realized it, he actually had stage fright in public. He lost to the Criminal Investigation Department in terms of momentum in the spice shop. This scene was seen by many people. How could he mix with his peers in the spice shop in the future? Thinking of this, he went up to the house in embarrassment.
Taking a few steps forward, he asked Deputy Commander Sun with a stern tone of voice: "Your Criminal Investigation Department doesn't even dare to say who gave the order. Could it be that you are bending the law for personal gain, using public weapons for private purposes, and knowing that you are disturbing the people! So you dare not say it!"
Deputy Commander Sun looked down at the poor man in front of him, and the look in his eyes that looked at the dead person became even more obvious.
At this time, Jin An's voice came from the Biwan carriage, and his voice was calm and calm: "This is the order from my commander."
"Why, are you, a ninth-grade eunuch, qualified to question the case that our Criminal Investigation Department is handling?"
"The commander hasn't answered my last question yet. Is there any conclusive evidence that there is an enemy spy hiding in the spice shop? If the commander can tell the enemy's surname, first name, and which mansion he is hiding in, our family will immediately assist the commander in capturing the enemy.
Spy, dedicated to the imperial court." This ninth-grade chamberlain still refused to give way and wanted to continue to block the road and question him.
He relied on his status as a chamberlain and was in the spice shop. He believed that the Criminal Investigation Department would not dare to become an enemy of the entire Chamber of Commerce except for verbal threats. However, he misread the situation. A ninth-level official with no real power dared to stop the Criminal Investigation Department on the street.
The commander's vehicle.
In the Biwan carriage, Jin An's voice remained calm: "Deputy Commander Sun, if he obstructs and resists the law, how should he be convicted?"
Because he had received advance instructions on the way here, Deputy Commander Sun replied without hesitation: "Considering him being a traitor to the enemy, he will be taken into prison."
Jin An: "How should I be convicted if I encounter repeated obstruction?"
Deputy Commander Sun warned in a cold voice: "At this time when the two countries are at war, we should use heavy weapons and shoot without mercy."
"If we don't capture this collaborator and traitor, after the spice shop is cleared out, we will send him to the water jail with other suspects to torture him to see if there are any remaining party members." Deputy Commander Sun gave the order, and immediately a dozen people came in with shackles and shackles.
, to tie up the ninth-grade chamberlain and his entourage.
Seeing that the Criminal Investigation Department was really going to take him away as a prisoner, the chamberlain in the ninth-grade official uniform was so angry that he couldn't speak. He subconsciously pushed away the shackles that were about to be put on his neck.
What greeted him was an icy cold light, click!
The knife rose and fell, and blood spattered ten steps away.
Deputy Commander Sun carried a long sword dripping with blood and said with murderous intent: "This person has repeatedly obstructed the law enforcement of the Criminal Investigation Department. After inspection, it was found that this person's identity as a servant was false, and he was actually a spy of the Prairie Khanate who lurked in the capital. He should be punished for his crimes."
"
"Come here, take away the body of this collaborator and spy. He will be taken back to the Criminal Investigation Department with the other suspects later for a strict interrogation to see if there are any other remaining members."
Plop, plop, the followers were so frightened that they all collapsed and knelt on the ground, their faces pale.
Looking at the body that fell heavily to the ground and was covered in blood, with blood still gushing out from its headless neck, many screams came from the crowd watching.
More people had their pupils dilated and took a deep breath.
It was only then that they realized the seriousness of the situation. The Criminal Investigation Department was serious this time and really wanted to extend its tentacles into the spice shop. It was different from the previous petty fights.
Whoever makes a small fuss will end up killing someone.
Moreover, the person who was killed was a ninth-grade chamberlain with official status.
Perhaps even the murdered chamberlain could not have imagined that the Criminal Investigation Department would actually execute him on the street.
He naively thought that no matter how bad the outcome was, he would be thrown into prison by the Criminal Investigation Department, and someone from the Ministry of Internal Affairs would soon come to rescue him, so he dared to stop the Criminal Investigation Department several times and kill him. His majesty made people
After realizing that the spice shop is the territory of the internal affairs department, I no longer dare to touch it casually.
He was determined that the Criminal Investigation Department would not really break up with the Internal Affairs Ministry.
It can only be said that this person died an unjust death. He did not consider his own weight, dared to swim in any muddy water, and actually wanted to die caught between the martial arts immortals and the internal servants.
The Ministry of Internal Affairs can ignore the commander of the Criminal Investigation Department, but it dare not ignore the martial arts and immortals.
As the Criminal Investigation Department launched an attack on the internal servant, the undercurrent was surging in the capital at this moment, and pieces of information were rushed to all parts of the capital, dooming many people to stay up all night.
Someone is asking for help from a higher level.
Someone is spreading the news to the outside world that the Criminal Investigation Department is suspected of going to war with the Interior Ministry.
And with this killing of chickens as a warning to monkeys, the subsequent search of the spice shop by the Criminal Investigation Department immediately became much smoother, and no more obstacles were encountered. Even local snakes had to stay calm at this moment and wait patiently to go out and ask for help.
people brought back the news.
The spice shop was a mixed bag, with some fugitives wanted by the government hiding in it. Sporadic fights broke out during the search, but under the pressure of several deputy commanders, these sporadic fights ended quickly.
After this search, no big fish were caught, only a dozen small fish were caught. A search of more than a dozen waiters in the spice shop found no big fish that Jin An and Fatty Li were looking for.
These chamberlains were very tough-mouthed and couldn't get anything out of the interrogation. They all stared angrily at the carriage, as if they wanted to kill the murderer in the carriage with their eyes.
Suddenly, a criminal inspector hurried over, looked nervously and whispered a few words to Deputy Commander Sun, and handed him an exorcism charm.
The exorcism talisman was almost burned, leaving only fragments the size of fingernails.
Everyone in the Criminal Investigation Department has an exorcism charm painted by an old Taoist priest.
It seems that this spice shop not only hides people from all religions, but also some ghosts and monsters.
Deputy Commander Sun took the fragment of the exorcism talisman, and his expression changed. He did not dare to delay, and rode to the Biwan carriage. Then he dismounted, reported the situation, and handed over the fragment of the exorcism talisman.
The person who opened the curtain was not Jin An, but an old Taoist priest wearing a yellow robe.
There was only silence in the Biwan carriage for a while, and soon the old Taoist priest opened the curtain and nodded to Deputy Commander Sun, asking him to lead the way.
Among the aristocratic families, there has always been a saying that one tael of spices and one tael of gold are worth it, which shows how profitable these spices are.
Because of the low status of merchants, few nobles and nobles were directly involved in the spice shop business, but this did not mean that the upper class nobles would give up this huge piece of fat.
As a result, a situation was formed in which eunuchs with mutilated and humble bodies controlled the spice shops.
And these eunuchs also represent the natal power of the concubines in the harem.
Merchants doing spice business in spice shops can be roughly divided into three types. One is the Han people, who almost monopolize the entire spice shop business;
The second is the merchants from the Western Regions. They brought their own spices to Kangding State all the way through the Desert Silk Road, and exchanged them for their own scarce silk, tea, porcelain, ironware, medicinal materials, etc., and bartered them.
The third is Nanyang spices brought from the mountains and forests of Nanman and small overseas countries.
Nanyang spices are also very popular in the aristocratic circles of the capital, such as frankincense and ambergris, which are tributes that only emperors can afford; and Nanyang agarwood, sandalwood, the long-lasting aromatherapy effect is far better than Gracilaria, Pizhi,
Local spices such as Shenjiao, Guigui, and Mulan.
When it comes to exorcism charms, we have to start with Nanyang spices...
