The sky is blue and white outside, the sun is shining brightly, the sky and the earth are clear and bright, and there are still two rows and three layers of candles burning in the hall, as if this makes it more elegant.
A young man in a beast suit walked into the hall with cautious steps. He glanced at Wang Yinwu, who was sitting there reviewing the case and drinking tea. He stepped forward and bowed: "Uncle!"
This man's name was Wang Xuanzhen, and he was Wang Yinwu's nephew. He was the captain of the Gyeonggi Province of Wude at that time, and was one of Wang Yinwu's closest relatives. His most important responsibility was to organize and analyze national intelligence.
A good man has three gangs. After Wang Yinwu took up the post of Wude Envoy, he also appointed many relatives and friends and promoted many confidants. In the Imperial City Division, there was a group of confidants headed by his four adopted sons. Wang Yinwu was in Wude.
Si also praised the "Eight Great Vajras", and Wang Xuanzhen was one of them.
Of course, Zhang Dejun's grandson has now begun to serve in the Imperial City Department and even local governments, serving the imperial court. Li Chongju would never do this kind of nepotism in order to avoid giving others leverage. In comparison, Wang Yinwu obviously
He is more like a spy chief, whose body can be described as "stained with bad things".
In the hall, Wang Yinwu's eyes moved away from the official document in his hand and fell on Wang Xuanzhen. Noticing his serious expression, he refused to let him sit down and asked with dignity: "What's the matter?"
After hearing the question, Wang Xuanzhen bowed again and said: "Hexi reported that the Black Khanate's envoy was robbed and killed!"
As soon as he heard this memorial, Wang Yinwu immediately paid attention to it. He straightened his back subconsciously and asked urgently: "What happened? When did it happen? How was the loss of the mission?"
Wang Xuanzhen obviously also knew the seriousness of the matter, and said: "Seven days ago, something happened at Yanzhiyi at the junction of Gansu and Liangzhou. There were more than 30 people in Heiheihan's envoy. Only one injured horseman survived, and the rest were all killed.
Killed, the envoys and deputy envoys were among them, all the belongings and tributes accompanying them were looted, and the receptionist and a group of officers and soldiers accompanying him were not spared either!"
Hearing such a report, Wang Yinwu couldn't hide his surprise. He couldn't sit still anymore. He stood up a little rudely and asked: "Do you know who did it? Who has such courage to commit such a heinous crime?"
There is no doubt that this is a major case that can shock both the government and the public! Over the years, in the overall environment of stability and prosperity in the Han Dynasty, although crimes are inevitable, some robberies, attacks and other crimes still occur among the people from time to time, but there is absolutely no such thing.
It can be compared with this time.
There have never been any bandits who have dared to target the government and attack official personnel. Twenty years have passed since the restoration of the Northwest, but during these twenty years, there has always been a chronic disease in the Northwest, especially in the Hexi region, and that is
Horse bandit.
The horse bandits were of various origins, including Uighurs, Tubos, Hans, and other minority peoples. Perhaps they were dissatisfied with the rule of the imperial court, or perhaps they were seeking wealth.
Because the horse bandits' plundering had affected the security of the northwest, the local government and the garrison also organized several raids, but these horse bandits could not be suppressed and destroyed.
Since the horse bandits are basically local people, they are fierce and ferocious, and they are familiar with the environment. They go in and out of the desert and come and go like the wind. Every time they are hit, they will be depressed for a long time before they get angry again.
In fact, the government also knew that as long as the golden trade route of the Silk Road still existed and the trade between the East and the West continued to prosper, the profession of horse banditry would never disappear.
However, under the continuous suppression by the government and the army, the horse bandits in the northwest have been contained until now, and there is a relative balance between the government and the bandits.
Although horse bandits have never been eradicated, the frequency of crimes has dropped significantly compared to ten or twenty years ago. In addition, business travelers traveling from east to west have also strengthened their security, so the Hexi Corridor is still relatively safe. And even if it is attacked
Robbery rarely involves killing everyone.
Moreover, no matter how ferocious the horse bandits were, they only plundered local people and passing caravans. They never dared to invade the government and the army.
But this time, several bottom lines were broken at once. Not only did they kill people and buy goods, but they also killed officials, soldiers, and equally important, the Black Khan Mission. This was a serious foreign-related incident.
Although the Black Khanate is smaller than the Han Dynasty, it has to be said that it is one of the few countries around the Han Dynasty that maintains normal diplomatic exchanges, and it is not that it does not dare to go against the Han Dynasty.
In recent years, with the people-to-people trade between the two countries, the relationship between the two countries has been relatively harmonious. The Black Khan's envoys to the east have not been cut off every year. Now, their envoys have been robbed and killed directly in the territory of the Han Dynasty.
The big man might not care about the envoy's life or death, but the imperial court was hit in the face and punched out hard enough to make a loud cracking sound. This was particularly serious.
This is why Wang Yinwu couldn't sit still after receiving the report. Of course he has a certain political vision in his position. When something like this happened, he didn't know how angry the military and political officials in Hexi were.
He said that he didn't know how to report this matter to Emperor Liu.
Subconsciously, he looked in the direction of Bian Palace. He was separated from Wude Si Yamen and numerous palace gates, but he seemed to have been stared at by Emperor Liu's cold eyes, which made him shudder.
Seeing Wang Yinwu's reaction, Wang Xuanzhen did not dare to neglect, and continued to report: "After inspecting the scene of the incident, Hexi Dozhi Zheng An initially judged that it was a local horse bandit who did it!"
"Does this still require judgment?" Hearing this, Wang Yinwu immediately scolded: "At the junction of Gansu and Liang, in the hinterland of Hexi, besides those horse bandits, who else, what other force, has the strength to commit such a major crime? In general,
It’s not like the local garrison did it!”
Wang Xuanzhen was a little embarrassed, but Wang Yinwu stared at him: "What I want to know is which banditry it is! Give me the report!"
"Yes!" Wang Xuanzhen hurriedly approached and presented the Hexi secret report, while continuing: "Right now, the local border troops in Ganzhou, Liangzhou and Lingzhou have been dispatched to search and investigate, attack bandits, and clear up public security, but there is no result yet.
!”
Wang Yinwu said coldly: "Have you thought of clearing up public security at this time? Isn't it too late?"
While reading with frowning, Wang Yinwu said: "Although there are many horse bandits in Hexi, there are probably only a few that can commit such a big crime, so let's keep an eye on those big bandits first!"
"Yes!" After hearing the instructions from King Yinwu of the Earth, Wang Xuanzhen responded immediately.
The hall gradually fell into silence for a long time, until Wang Yinwu finished reading the urgent report from Hexi, put down the document, and sighed: "There will be another big disturbance in the court. This pass on the Hexi Road is really sad! We are the same!"
"
Hearing what Wang Yinwu said, Wang Xuanzhen was a little puzzled and said: "This matter must be due to the deterioration of public security in Hexi and the ineffective suppression of bandits. What does it have to do with my uncle? What does it have to do with my Wude Division?"
Wang Yinwu shook his head and said calmly: "Wude Si monitors the world, do you think we can be exempted from responsibility for this matter and have nothing to do with it?"
"If the court pursues the case, I'm afraid that everyone involved in this matter will not have an easy time!" Wang Yinwu said with some sadness: "Don't forget, we started in Hexi. Don't care about other Daozhou. There is a problem in Hexi.
, even if I am not primarily responsible, I will still be held jointly and severally responsible!”
"We are the first to receive the news here in the capital, right?" Wang Yinwu looked at Wang Xuanzhen.
Wang Xuanzhen nodded: "Yes!"
"To tell you the truth, right now, I don't know how to report it to His Majesty!" Wang Yinwu looked like he had a headache.
