For this reason, if ministers want to borrow troops, they need to write a memorial and submit it to the Zhongshu Province. After preliminary verification by the Zhongshu Province, it will be sent to the Menxia Province for review, and finally forwarded to the Taiwei, and the prime minister will make a decision.
If the number of troops sent is too large, the emperor's personal approval is required.
It is impossible to complete this whole process in less than ten days. Fortunately, Muchuan is not an ordinary civil servant. He is also a second-rank general who suppresses the army and has received meritorious titles. It is easy for him to borrow troops.
At this time, on the muddy road in the suburbs, hundreds of cavalry were walking mightily. There was a domed carriage at the front of the team, and Muchuan was in it.
Sitting with Muchuan was Ouyang Bufan. At this time, Ouyang Bufan seemed to be very excited, with a smile on his face.
"As expected of Lord Muchuan, you can mobilize the cavalry so casually. Apart from the prime minister, you are the only one in the entire court who has this ability!"
"It's okay...compared to this, why did Bufan come with you again?"
"Join in the fun! Aren't you going to annihilate the rebels this time?
I'm just bored and can watch a show."
Muchuan was going to be furious at this. Ouyang Bufan usually stayed far away when encountering fights and killings, for fear of harming Chi Yu, but when encountering such a battle scene with a huge disparity in strength, he came back.
When you get excited, it feels like modern people going to the cinema to watch a movie.
In fact, Ouyang Bufan was indeed watching a show. According to the one-eyed jailer, there should be many prisoners' accomplices in the wooden house, no more than ten in number.
Compared with those prisoners, the cavalry led by Muchuan this time consisted of a hundred people, and they were all brave and good at fighting and physically strong. It would only take a matter of minutes to crush the group of prisoners with the strength of the cavalry.
"Bufan, just watch the show, and don't cause trouble when the fight breaks out later, or you won't be able to protect yourself."
"There is no need for you to say this, Mr. Muchuan, I will take care of myself!"
Ouyang Bufan bared his teeth and smiled like a naughty monkey.
On the contrary, the one-eyed jailer sat aside and looked very silent, with an awkward expression on his face.
Muchuan also knew what the one-eyed jailer was thinking. After all, Muchuan wanted the other party to plead guilty and perform meritorious service. At this time, the one-eyed jailer indeed provided clues and showed meritorious service, but the extent of the credit cannot be measured. After all, Muchuan also said that he should be punished.
Only when the merit is great enough can the other party be exempted from punishment.
So Muchuan said: "Don't worry, if we can catch all these criminals and find out the culprit behind the scenes, I will naturally pardon your crimes and even reward you."
"Thank you, sir!"
"But how did you find the tracks of these prisoners?"
Muchuan was really puzzled at this point. Chang'an City is so big and has a huge population. It is not easy even for people with vast connections like Ouyang Bufan to find him. As a result, the one-eyed jailer was found in just one day, which is incredible.
Already.
At this point, the one-eyed jailer showed a somewhat proud expression: "It's not difficult to find. I remember the smell of the person who bribed me."
"smell?"
"yes!"
The one-eyed jailer pointed to his nose and said that his nose was like a dog's nose that could remember other people's body odor just by smelling it.
At that time, the prisoner who made the deal with the one-eyed jailer seemed very mysterious, dressed strangely, and was obviously unwilling to reveal his identity.
On the contrary, the more unwilling one is to reveal one's identity, the more one becomes curious about the other person's identity. Therefore, the one-eyed jailer pays close attention to the other person's characteristics.
Although the big man covered his face, his eyes were exposed, and they were very fierce eyes, like the eyes of a python.
In addition, the big man was 1.9 meters tall, and his legs and arms were extremely strong. He must have been engaged in manual labor for a long time. In addition, the man had a fishy smell, so the one-eyed jailer speculated that the man was a river fishmonger.
After hearing this, Muchuan asked in confusion: "Even if he is a river fish trader, how can you know who he is without seeing his true face?"
"Just ask!"
There are many people selling river fish in Chang'an City. If he is a prisoner, he must have obtained a large amount of money, so there is no need to make a living by selling river fish.
Therefore, just ask which seller has stopped selling fish recently, and he is likely to be a prisoner!
Of course, there are many sellers who suddenly stop selling fish. After a day of investigation, the one-eyed jailer found three people. But it is much easier to judge who is the real murderer among the three people. Just smell it with your nose.
, after all, bribery people have other smells besides fishy smell.
"Sir, this is how I found the dealer. However, I don't know who this dealer is..."
Since Qin Shihuang unified the world, a strict household registration system has been implemented, and this household registration system has been continued.
Like the common people living in Chang'an City in the Tang Dynasty, every household had a name, but according to what the one-eyed jailer said, the big man with python eyes had no name, that is, he was a wanderer from outside.
"I see, it seems there is a big fish behind this big fish."
If this big man with python eyes is a wanderer, and he should have no enmity with Muchuan, then upon closer inspection, this big man with python eyes may be just one of the chess pieces, and there is a mastermind behind him!
Thinking of this, Muchuan couldn't help but feel a headache. It seemed that the matter was not so easy to solve.
But when Muchuan looked at the one-eyed jailer at this time, his eyes couldn't help but change, because judging from the investigation of the one-eyed jailer just now, this one-eyed jailer is still a talent! At least his logical analysis ability, insight, and tracking ability are far beyond
Above ordinary people, the one-eyed jailer also has a canine nose!
If placed in modern times, the one-eyed jailer would be a criminal detective! And a high-level criminal detective at that!
"May I have your name?"
Muchuan asked.
The one-eyed jailer was obviously shocked that Muchuan actually asked his name?
What does this mean?
You must know that in ancient times, people with high positions would not ask for the names of their subordinates, because those lowly people were too insignificant and did not need to remember their names. Normally, they either did not call their names, or they did not.
Just shouting words like "slave", "little boy", "slave".
The one-eyed jailer couldn't figure out Muchuan's intentions, but he still told his name honestly: "The villain's name is Li Daquan."
"Li Daquan?
How did you choose a dog’s name?”
"Haha... I have a sharp nose since I was little, like a native dog walking in the fields. That's why my parents gave me this name."
"I see."
Muchuan understands this very well. In ancient times, the grassroots people at the bottom of the society chose their names casually. They often named them after animals or the characteristics of certain things, but they were far different from the elegant and beautiful names that modern people have.
