Prince Ping leads the Ministry of Punishment. Although he is not the chief official of the Ministry of Punishment, he has the right to intervene in all government affairs of the Ministry of Punishment.
Children of the Dali royal family can participate in politics, but are not allowed to lead armies.
In addition to the crown prince, there are four other princes in Dali who are more active in the court today.
The third son of the emperor, King Shou Qin Changshou, was in charge of the family mansion.
Qin Changming, the fifth son of the emperor, was in charge of Honglu Temple.
Qin Changping, the seventh son of the emperor, leads the Ministry of punishment and assists the king in the cabinet.
The eighth son of the emperor, Prince An, Qin Changan, led the Ministry of Industry and assisted the cabinet.
The remaining few either became happy kings or died young or died young.
Among these four, Prince Ping and Prince An were undoubtedly the most powerful. They were deeply entrenched in the court and had many cronies, and the Ministry of Punishment and the Ministry of Works basically became their territory.
Therefore, if Qin Wei wants to recruit people from the Ministry of Punishment, he must inform King Ping in advance.
Under the guidance of Prince Ping's disciples, Qin Wei and Xiao Shunzi came to the main hall and met his seventh uncle again.
"Nephew pays homage to uncle!" Qin Wei said respectfully.
Qin Changping looked at Qin Wei, his calm but powerful expression showing a little warmth.
"Are you feeling better?"
He seemed concerned.
"My nephew's health has improved and he is stronger than before." Qin Wei said with a smile.
"That's good, that's good. I only have a son like you, Ninth Brother. You must pay attention to your health. If you need anything, you can come to me at any time. Don't be embarrassed." Qin Changping said.
Qin Wei smiled and said: "As long as my uncle doesn't mind his nephew being noisy, my nephew will definitely come to bother my uncle in the future."
"Haha, okay!" Qin Changping laughed, seeming to like Qin Wei's visit.
Qin Wei was also smiling, but he was complaining in his heart.
After talking nonsense, it’s time to get down to business.
"My nephew wants to ask my uncle for help." Qin Wei said softly.
"As long as my uncle can do anything, he will definitely not refuse it?" Qin Changping narrowed his eyes and said with a smile.
"My nephew wants to ask for a few people from the prison of the Ministry of Punishment." Qin Wei said.
Qin Changping looked at him with deep eyes and said in a gentle tone: "The prisons of the Ministry of Punishment are all heavy-duty prisoners."
"When the Zhenwu Division was first established, it was time to hire people. My nephew had no choice, so he selected a few useful people from the prison of the Ministry of Justice. Don't worry, uncle, they are not important people." Qin Weidao.
"The Ministry of Punishment must also abide by the laws of the court. You will make it difficult for me to do this." Qin Changping seemed to refuse, but he didn't seem to refuse.
Just because it's difficult doesn't mean it can't be done. Whether it can be done depends on what you mean.
"But if the Zhenwu Division is short of manpower, my uncle can't just sit back and watch. If you don't mind, my uncle has some good warriors in the palace."
Qin Wei couldn't help laughing when he heard this.
They are all thousand-year-old foxes playing nonsense.
Let your people go to Zhenwu Division. From now on, this Zhenwu Division will be yours or mine!
"My uncle's safety is the most important thing. My nephew doesn't dare to touch my uncle's people."
Qin Wei was afraid that King Ping would have some unrealistic ideas, so he said directly: "My nephew is going to the palace to ask for an order, and give these people a chance to make atonement for their sins."
Qin Changping looked at him deeply and said, "That's fine. As long as my father agrees, I naturally have no objection."
no comment!
Qin Wei took it as if he agreed.
Afterwards, he and Qin Changping chatted for a long time before saying goodbye and leaving.
After returning to Zhenwu Division, Qin Wei immediately asked Li Ru to draft a memorial.
The content of the memorial contains two aspects. On the one hand, it is a request for pardon for the three martial arts masters in the prison of the Ministry of Justice, and on the other hand, it is a request for official positions for Li Ru and others.
After the memorial was drafted, Qin Wei asked Xiao Shunzi to send it to the palace.
Qin Wei stayed in the Zhenwu Division to handle government affairs.
Currently, there are not many government affairs in the Zhenwu Division. The most important thing is to finish the work on the Bloody Clothes Building. The Bloody Clothes Building in Kyoto has been destroyed, but there are still many problems left behind by the Bloody Clothes Building.
First of all, regarding the heritage of the Blood Clothes Building in Kyoto, Cuixiang Building, as the stronghold of the Blood Clothes Building in Kyoto, stores a large amount of gold and silver, totaling more than 300,000 taels of silver. All of this silver has been transported to the warehouse of the Grain and Money Section of the Zhenwu Division.
It's a windfall.
Qin Wei doesn't care about the amount of money, but having this money is also a good thing.
Secondly, rewards and pensions are given based on merit. In the battle of Cuixianglou, five hundred soldiers contributed. Although it was only once, Qin Wei must not be stingy when he should be rewarded. There were also some casualties. This is what won people's hearts.
Naturally, Qin Wei couldn't let go of the good opportunity.
The rewards and pensions of the Zhenwu Division are based on the army's regulations. Qin Wei increased it by 50% on the basis of the army's regulations. Even soldiers who have not performed meritorious services can receive silver rewards.
Although the quantity is not much, at least it can make them happy.
Finally, there is the issue about the killers outside the Xueyi Building. The killers in Cuixiang Building are all killers trained by the Xueyi Building itself, but there are many outside killers in the Xueyi Building.
These peripheral killers have no close relationship with the Bloody Clothes Building. They just rely on the Bloody Clothes Building's secret list to earn bounties.
But no matter what, they are all killers, and they have all helped Xueyilou complete assassination missions.
In the study, Qin Wei frowned as he looked at the roster he found from the Blood Clothes Building.
"so much!"
"Well, there are four hundred and twenty-three in total, and there are many vicious people among them!" Li Ru said.
This is the scary thing about Blood Clothes Tower.
There are only thirty killers who really belong to the Blood-clothed Building, but there are more than 400 peripheral killers. As long as the Blood-clothed Building issues a large bounty, there will be a large number of peripheral killers working for them.
This is just the Blood Clothes Building in Kyoto. You must know that among the fourteen Blood Clothes Buildings in Kyoto, the Blood Clothes Building in Kyoto is the weakest. The Blood Clothes Buildings in the other thirteen states are far more powerful and arrogant than the Blood Clothes Building in Kyoto.
Li Ru said in a deep voice: "At present, we have found out the backgrounds of many of them. These people cover a wide range of people. Some are from noble families, and some are from wealthy families."
"But they are all descendants of the collateral clan. The reason why they accepted the secret mission in the Blood Clothes Building should be just for the money."
Don't think that the children of those wealthy families are not short of money. In fact, the lives of most disciples of big families are not very wealthy. Of course, they are definitely better than ordinary people, but they are only a little better.
Practicing martial arts is inherently a very expensive matter. If those ordinary children from aristocratic families want to achieve success in martial arts, they need a lot of money. The higher the level of cultivation, the more money they need, so they go to receive the secret of the Blood Clothes Tower.
The ranking tasks are not incomprehensible either.
What troubled Qin Wei was how to deal with these people.
Although these are insignificant little people, if they are all dealt with, it will definitely cause quite a stir.
Those wealthy families may not value these collateral descendants, but they attach great importance to face. If Zhenwusi really captures these people, they will definitely come to their door.
"Catch them all!" Qin Wei thought for a moment and said.
"Is this okay?" Li Ru asked.
"How can we condone it when human lives are involved?" Qin Wei said firmly: "No matter what their identity or background is, as long as they have killed someone, they must not be spared lightly."
It's not that Qin Wei is fearless, nor is Qin Wei the Holy Mother, but that Qin Wei must stick to the bottom line of Zhenwu Division.
Within the Dali Dynasty, crimes committed by warriors were rampant. If the bottom line was not adhered to, there would be no need for the Zhenwu Division to exist.
More than 400 peripheral killers mean at least more than 400 lives, or even thousands of lives.
"Together with the operation to eradicate gangs and eliminate evil, after determining the time for the operation, I will personally go to the 12th Regiment Battalion to secondment the soldiers." Qin Wei said in a deep voice.
"Here!" Li Ru's eyes lit up, and a surge of pride suddenly surged in his heart.
He was not a person who was afraid of trouble, and Qin Wei's attitude at this moment made his blood boil.
