Although Xuanwu seemed to be a simple, even honest, big man, no one would really think that Xuanwu, the commander of Jinyiwei North Town Fusi, would be a good old man who was harmless to humans and animals.
The number of prisoners who died at the hands of Xuanwu was not only one hundred, but also eighty.
He is a criminal, not a human being...
Prisoners in Zhao Jail.
"However, after all, you are a member of my Jin Yiwei, so you should be treated as a sensible person."
Xuanwu took out a piece of white feather from his sleeve.
"As a Qianhu of Jin Yiwei, this should be familiar to you! I found the feathers of the Thunder Pigeon in a pigeon loft in the stronghold."
Xuanwu, when he inspected the site before, he also specifically looked at the pigeonhouse at the base.
The Thunder pigeons here all have gray feathers, while the real pure-blooded Thunder pigeons have pure white wings and no mottled colors.
Pure-blood Thunder Pigeons are extremely rare and can only be found at the Jinyiwei headquarters and Jinyiwei branch offices in various states.
Jinyang here is indeed the administrative seat of Bingzhou, but this stronghold is not the Jinyiwei branch established in Jinyang, it is just a Jinyiwei stronghold in Jinyang City.
According to convention, there should not be such pure-blooded thunder pigeons in this stronghold.
"Don't you think it's strange that this pure-blooded pigeon appears in this stronghold in Jinyang?!"
"Looking at the white feathers, they should have just fallen from the Thunder pigeon, but I searched around the pigeon loft and found no trace of the pure-blood Thunder pigeon. And this pure-blood Thunder pigeon must have come here.
The one who delivered the information, I saw the secret compartment where the information was hidden, and it was also opened by someone."
Qianhu felt the murderous aura on Xuanwu's body, and his knees became weak, but his mouth was still stiff, "Shi Zun, what kind of evidence is this? Even if important information from elsewhere is transmitted here?! How can this explain He
Does it matter to my subordinates?!"
Xuanwu shook his head, "I don't even know how you got promoted to your current position?"
"This information hasn't been in my hands yet, what's the problem?!"
"Perhaps the murderer had already followed Xunlei Ge as soon as the information was transmitted here. The brothers in the stronghold were killed before they could pass it on." Qianhu put forward a hypothesis that seemed very possible.
Xuanwu shook his head and spoke calmly.
"It's fine if it's the commonly used Lingfeng Pigeon. Experts who are good at Qinggong can indeed keep up, but what do you think the Thunder Pigeon is?! The pure-blooded Thunder Pigeon is known as the fastest in the world. It can fly 4,900 times in one hour.
It can fly continuously for four hours. Who can keep up with the Thunder Pigeon?!"
"This..." Qianhu was stunned for a moment, "This matter is not absolute! I heard that Yang Houye, the minister of Dali Temple, has extraordinary light skills. How can he catch up with Thunder Pigeon?!"
Yang Qingyuan, who was far away in Yanmen, said, "You are bragging, can you please don't take me with you?"
The number of forty-nine in an hour, expressed intuitively by speed, is one thousand two hundred and twenty-five kilometers per hour.
This speed has another name, called Mach 1!
Yang Qingyuan's Qinggong can indeed cause visual impairment in a short period of time and transcend sound, but Kang Long will not be able to survive for long, and this speed cannot be maintained forever.
"So, there is only one possibility. Their information was intercepted when they reported it. Then who in this stronghold will report the information to?!"
"Although I am the highest commander of the Jinyi Guards in Jinyang City at the moment, you are their direct superior. They cannot pass the information to me. They can only inform you of the matter. Combined with the appearance of the scene just now, it is clear
If an acquaintance committed the crime, the answer is already obvious! You have been bribed. After receiving this information, you came here and killed those who knew the information. "
After listening to Xuanwu's words, Qianhu already knew that he was finished. Xuanwu was 70% or 80% right about what he had done.
As a member of Jinyiwei, I naturally know that it doesn't matter if there is no evidence for the matters that Jinyiwei has determined, it will be found in the first trial.
In fact, Xuanwu didn't fully understand this matter. In addition to these so-called reasonings, there were also wounds on the deceased that made him suspicious.
All the wounds of the deceased were damaged, indicating that the weapon used by the murderer had extremely negative characteristics, which may have exposed his identity. After noticing the Xiuchun Dao on Qianhu's waist.
Feiyu uniform, Xiuchundao is the standard equipment of Jinyiwei. Among them, Xiuchundao was designed and made by the general supervisor. The blade is light, thin and long, and the wound is obvious.
So, Xuanwu decided to deceive him, but he didn't expect that Xuanwu guessed it right.
"You should know what I mean. Do you want to go to jail and let the Jinyiwei torturers play a pipa song on their former boss before recruiting him, or do you want to plead guilty and confess now?"
Playing the pipa is considered a regular activity of Jinyiwei and the two factories.
It can be said that torture is used to the extreme without harming people's lives.
Regardless of whether a person is fat or thin, there are ribs. To play the pipa, a knife blade is inserted between the ribs, and the ribs of the prisoner are scratched repeatedly with the knife. The victim is in endless pain while being tortured, and he will not be tortured.
It hurts to death.
Although Qianhu was used to this method, when he heard the pipa being played, his body still trembled involuntarily.
For those of them who are accustomed to torture, they know even more how terrible these tortures are.
"Little man's move!"
--------------------------
"What?!" Yu Yanyi was slightly shocked when he received Xuanwu's secret report.
"This Qianhu has identified that he has long had beneficial relationships with Wu Qianqiu and has accepted bribes of up to 3,000 taels of silver from Wu Qianqiu. This time Wu Qianqiu asked him to serve as an internal correspondent, to coordinate internally and externally, and to lead Mohe at the right time.
The army enters the city."
"..."
Yu Yanyi immediately said, "This matter cannot be accomplished by him alone. There must be someone in the army who will respond. Has he ever admitted his comrades?"
Xuanwu shook his head, "He only admitted himself and more than a dozen of his subordinates."
Then Xuanwu half-knelt in front of Yanyi.
"Yu Shuai, Jin Yiwei's internal governance is not good, and there is a traitor, please Yu Shuai punishes him!"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! If these thousands of families are allowed to succeed, then the Jin Yiwei will be in danger.
"What does this matter have to do with you?! If according to your logic, Wu Qianqiu's appointment document is still stamped with the seal of our Ministry of War, then the governor is also guilty of not investigating?"
After saying that, Yu Yanyi helped Xuanwu up. Everything was so natural that Xuanwu didn't even react.
"Can you tell me more about the information that was hidden by him?!"
Faced with Yanyi's question, Xuanwu also shook his head.
The information only stated that someone was cheating to open the north gate, but it did not specify who it was.
Xuanwu even used a severe punishment on Qianhu. He used his fierce true energy to turn into a cone and stab Qianhu's bones. This punishment was more severe than playing the pipa, but Qianhu still didn't say anything. It should be true.
have no idea.
"This information is too simplistic. It only mentions one north gate, but it doesn't tell which north gate it is. There are two north gates in Jinyang City!"
"No matter which north gate it is, be careful. The governor has now ordered all gates to be on guard. Be careful of insiders who should try to open the city gate. At the same time, the chief general of Beijing Gate, Xiang Ming, and the guard of Beiding Gate, Chen An, have strengthened their defense. However,
This traitor must be eliminated, and this person must be found!"
Xiang Mingnai is the son of the founding father Xiang Chong.
Xiang Chongnai was one of the four vanguards under King Kaiping, who was brave, adept at fighting, and fearless. Chen Anai was a general transferred from Tiance Army, and both of them were among the best in the army in terms of their ability to lead troops.
Xuanwu hesitated and expressed his analysis on the matter.
"Sir, I think this person must have an old relationship with Wu Qianqiu."
Yu Yanyi turned to look at Xuanwu, "Tell me what you think."
"If it was the secret planted by Nur Ha Chi, then why have they been wasting their troops to confront us in the past few days!? Not only did they cause huge damage, but they also dampened their own spirit?! For the Mohe tribe, now
Defeating us in one fell swoop, occupying the three prefectures, and threatening Tongguan is the top priority, and we should not deliberately delay it. Moreover, as soon as Wu Qianqiu came up to attack the city, someone wanted to use his insiders to trick him into opening the city gate, so I thought that this person must be related to Wu Qianqiu.
related!"
Yu Yanyi shook his head, "What you said is a possibility, but it is not inevitable. I have also observed in the past few days that although the momentum of the siege is fierce, Nurha's casualties are heavy, but the number of casualties is still high.
None of them are direct descendants of Nur Ha Chi. Nur Ha Chi may also be borrowing our power to strengthen his control over Hou Jin. After all, although he is now in charge of the power of Hou Jin, he is only a clan king in name."
Then the conversation changed to Yanyi.
"But there is nothing wrong with your analysis. You can continue to investigate along this line."
Afterwards, Jin Yiwei used the intelligence network to start investigating the generals in Jinyang, and they really found the most suspicious candidate.
Guardsman of Beijingmen, former Bo Xiangming of Pengcheng.
Why the former Pengcheng Bo?! Because his title was stripped by the emperor four years ago, and the culprit was Yang Qingyuan, who was the Prime Minister of Dali Temple at the time.
At that time, the Xungui Group in Beijing was involved in the water transport case, tax evasion and smuggling, which caused huge tax losses to the court. The emperor was shocked and ordered a thorough investigation of the case.
In the end, all the nobles involved in the case were demoted by the emperor. The biggest victim was His Royal Highness Zhu Zhangui, the king of Chu, who was guarding the city at the moment.
Zhu Zhangui: Ouch... I don’t know why I still sneeze in the summer.
Yu Yanyi's Ministry of War had great power and was even in charge of the promotion of generals.
This matter was originally done by the Commander-in-Chief of the Five Armies, but the Commander-in-Chief of the Five Armies was jointly managed by the Commander-in-Chief of the Longwu Army, the Commander-in-Chief of the Shenwu Army, the Commander-in-Chief of the Tiance Army, the Commander-in-Chief of the Shence Army, and the Commander-in-Chief of the Yulin Army among the Emperor's Six Armies.
The four great governors, Longwu, Shenwu, Shence and Tiance, are away from the capital all year round.
As for the commander-in-chief of the Royal Forest Army, he has the important position of Su Wei Palace and cannot interfere with other military affairs, so this responsibility falls to the Ministry of War.
Yu Yanyi was recalling the affairs of the Ministry of War and found Xiang Ming.
This man once worked with Wu Qianqiu in the Longwu Army, but Xiang Ming was under the command of his father Xiang Shoucheng, while Wu Qianqiu was under Zhao Tianlin.
Combined with the fact that the Xiang family was deprived of their title by the emperor because of the water transportation incident, there was inevitably resentment in their hearts, so it was very possible.
Yu Yanyi immediately took out his command arrow and handed it to Xuanwu.
"Immediately ask your trusted Jin Yi guards to carry my command arrows and head to the north gate. If Xiang Ming makes any move, you can kill him first and then tell him!"
Xuanwu took the order arrow and said, "Yu Shuai, I'll go in person!"
"No, you have more important things to do. The person in charge of the Jinyang Jinyi Guards betrayed, and I don't know how many people defected to the enemy. The Jinyang Guards patrolled the city to isolate spies. It is a big deal. It is not possible for anyone else to go except you.
You can control Jin Yiwei. You must do this in person!"
"I humbly accept my order!"
"Zhao Tianlin!"
Although veteran Zhao Tianlin is old and has been fighting for days, he is still in good spirits and is getting stronger with age.
"Immediately take people to Dongzhaomen, replace His Royal Highness the King of Chu, and ask him to inspect the city. If you encounter any suspects, you can control them first and then interrogate them slowly."
King Zhu Zhangui of Chu was the legitimate son of the emperor. This was a privilege that others could only admire.
Half an hour later, dozens of ox carts arrived at the gate of Yu Yanyi's mansion, loaded with letters.
"Your Excellency, these are the files of all officials and generals related to Bingzhou in the past twenty years. There are thirty-seven cars in total!"
Although I don't know what Yu Yanyi wants to do, he is now the highest military officer in Jinyang City, and there is nothing wrong with following his orders.
"You immediately move these files and slips in and summon all the people in the Commander's Mansion."
Soon, these slips were moved into the main hall, and more than thirty clerical assistants were summoned to the Commander's Mansion.
"Everyone, look for it together, and find out all the information related to the traitor Wu Qianqiu!"
Following Yu Yanyi's order, all the paperwork began to work.
The letters in the main hall were spread out on the floor, and they were even hung with lanterns, making the entire main hall look like daylight.
Yu Yanyi himself also picked up the letter, and Han Sumi, who was secretly protecting Yu Yanyi, also appeared to investigate together.
Half an hour later, Yu Yanyi had read more than forty books.
The clerk and assistant officer on the side were dumbfounded. Is this the strength of the Grand Scholar of the Wuying Palace of the Great Zhou Dynasty and the Minister of the Ministry of War?!
Han Su Mi on the side glanced at Yu Yanyi and flipped through the pages quickly. His heart moved and he couldn't help but stepped forward and asked curiously.
"Bachelor Yu, how did you see so quickly?"
When Yu Yanyi heard Han Sumi's question, he stopped temporarily and continued to read the slips for an hour, which made Yu Yanyi's eyes slightly astringent, just in time for some news.
"This matter is not difficult at all. If you look at these cookie-cutter training routines and records, and official interactions, they are actually of little value. There is nothing unusual here. So we have to find the main time nodes, such as
The records of the rise of officials and the changes of troops and defenses here are valuable."
Yu Yanyi explained patiently, but Han Sumi didn't seem to listen to what he was talking about at all, and Yu Yanyi's figure was reflected in his eyes.
Yu Yanyi pointed to a scroll of slips and said, "For example, if you look here again, in the third year of Yong'an, General Wu Qianqiu of the Longwu Army and the Tiance Army jointly sent out troops and were defeated by Chahan Timur, who was still the king of Ruyang.
Hands, 20,000 troops, only a few hundred remnants escaped?!...Huh?!"
At the end of the sentence, Yu Yanyi made a surprised sound.
"What's wrong, Master Yu, what did you find?!" Han Sumi also noticed something strange about Yu Yanyi.
"There is a problem here! And it's a big problem!" The relaxed look on Yu Yanyi's face disappeared.
