Han Jinxin got up and stood in front of Li Zhi with his head lowered, saying nothing.
Li Zhi said kindly: "Han Baihu is sitting down!"
Hearing Li Zhi call him Baihu, Han Jinxin's eyes flashed with a look, as if he had regained his former demeanor as a member of the Jinyiwei Baihu. But soon, he thought clearly about his current situation, and that look faded away. He
After thinking about it, he even suspected that Li Zhi was mocking him for having worked for the eunuch party, so he knelt on the ground again with a thud.
"The guilty people have long since changed their minds and have nothing to do with the eunuchs anymore!"
Li Zhi knew that calling him Baihu scared him, so he turned around and said, "Don't be afraid, Father Han. I'm here to give you a future!"
Han Jinxin raised his head in surprise and asked: "What is the future? Please make it clear!"
Li Zhi did not answer his words, but asked: "What did you do when you were a Jinyiwei?"
"The criminal was then a member of Fusi Jinyi's Front Office, Middle and Back Office, Baihu Office, Jinyiweibei Town, and he was responsible for spying and supervising officials."
"How to spy on supervisory officials?"
"It means collecting intelligence about officials and supervising their illegal behavior. They may stand guard to keep an eye on people, pay bribes, intimidate and suppress them, or torture them to extract confessions."
Li Zhi nodded and said, "Please be more specific."
Han Jinxin's face turned pale when he said this. The ten years of being ostracized made him look down upon. He became nervous when he mentioned Jin Yiwei's past. He looked at Li Zhi, lowered his head and said, "Sir, the criminals have changed their ways.
Make a new start and have nothing to do with the past!"
Li Zhi smiled and said: "I have something good for you to do. Please tell me how the Jin Yiwei spy on the intelligence."
Then Han Jinxin looked at Li Zhi, lowered his head and thought for a while, and said: "The so-called sentry tracking means sending people to watch people at the front and back doors of officials. When they see officials or family members coming out to do business, they follow them all the way until the truth comes to light. This way.
There is a huge demand for manpower, but this is the only way to deal with cases with no clues. The so-called bribery is to find the family members of officials who are greedy for money and despise justice, lure them with gold and silver, and get them to tell the officials' things. This method,
It is suitable for exploring some insignificant clues, or when the official's crime is relatively minor. For insignificant matters and minor crimes, the official's family members are likely to betray the official for profit."
"What about intimidation and suppression?"
"Intimidation and suppression means showing off one's identity as a royal guard, deceiving the families of those officials who are weak-minded, and lying to them that their master is in danger and will be suppressed by the emperor. Now he can only escape by telling his master's bad deeds.
Opportunities! Generally, after a period of tracking and coaxing lower-status servants to find out the situation in the official’s home, such a weak-minded official’s family can be found and intimidated.”
"What about torture?"
"Torture is to kidnap key servants after getting clues, put them in prison and interrogate them carefully until evidence is produced."
Li Zhi nodded and praised: "With these four moves, how can you prevent the officials from being scandalous? Yes, you haven't lost your skills yet!"
Han Jinxin didn't know what Li Zhi meant, and he knelt on the ground speechless.
Li Zhi smiled and said: "Han Jinxin, you treated me well when I was a child. Now I will show you a clear path. Do you want to follow it?"
Han Jinxin's eyes lit up, he raised his head and said, "Sir, please make it clear! The villain is now desperate. As long as he has a mouthful of food, Han Jinxin will risk his life!"
Li Zhi smiled and said: "I will let you be the leader of my secret guards, responsible for spying on the people on Tianjin West Road and collecting evidence of crimes."
It turned out that the general was going to work for him. Han Jinxin asked, "Aren't you afraid of others talking about your use of the remnants of the eunuchs?"
"I'm not afraid, let them discuss it." Li Zhi said: "I will give you five or two months of money, and I will give you ten people to take care of. Do you want to do it?"
Five or two months' money can support a family of five or six people in this era, which is considered an absolutely high salary. Hearing this, Han Jinxin's face lit up happily and said quickly: "I did it, and I will do it wholeheartedly."
Sir, collect information!"
Li Zhi helped Han Jinxin up, let him sit on a chair, and said slowly: "Dad Han, you need to find out all the information about the businessmen on Tianjin West Road and the bureaucrats behind these businessmen, and find out their dirty things. This
The first thing we need to investigate is Song Daoming of Bingbei Dao, and we need to search his house from top to bottom!"

Li Zhi appointed Han Jinxin as the envoy of the "Secret Guard Office" of the shogunate. As a general, Li Zhi would sooner or later organize a shogunate to handle affairs, but currently the shogunate only has one department: the "Secret Guard Office". Li Zhi paid in advance
Li Zhi gave Han Jinxin five or two months of money and asked him to make some decent clothes first, and then move his family to Fanjiazhuang. Li Zhi recruited ten more clever young people and gave them all to Han Jinxin to manage.
Li Zhi also found his cousin, Zheng Kaicheng's younger brother Zheng Kaida, and asked him to be the deputy envoy of the Secret Guard Office to supervise Han Jinxin. Zheng Kaida used to be a supervisor in a textile factory, and he was very willing to be transferred to the Secret Guard Office by Li Zhi.
After all, the Secret Guard Office is a key department as soon as I hear it, and the future will be bright.
The Secret Guard Office has twenty taels of "intelligence money" every month. If Han Jinxin wants to buy information or needs money elsewhere, he can withdraw the report money. However, it can only be withdrawn with Zheng Kaida's consent.
There are many ways to spend money to collect intelligence, and twenty taels of silver will not be enough in the long run. But Li Zhi wants to see Han Jinxin's ability, and if Han Jinxin does well, then he will be given more money to fund it.
Han Jinxin had been in poverty for ten years. He was so poor that he didn't even have enough clothes for his wife to spend the winter. Many people died of frostbite, which shows how miserable life was. At this time, Li Zhi suddenly took advantage of him, and he took charge of ten people at once. Han Jinxin looked like a living person.
He was as radiant as before. He was doing his job with ease, and organized the spying and spying in an orderly manner.
Zheng Kaida reported to Li Zhi several times, saying that Han Jinxin was very dedicated and competent.
Half a month later, Han Jinxin and Zheng Kaida found Li Zhi and reported the results of their investigation of Song Daoming in the past half month.
Han Jinxin came here this time to wash himself off and put on a clean coat. At this time, he seemed to be ten years younger, looking about thirty-two or three years old. In just half a month, his whole temperament had grown.
Changed. Although he still missed his late wife and was a little depressed, his back was no longer hunched, his head was no longer bowed, and his eyes were already somewhat bright.
"Sir, this Song Daoming is corrupt and has accepted bribes. He has collected a lot of bribes!"
"How many families have you collected, and how much money have you received?"
"I bribed two servants in his house and got first-hand information. As far as I know, there is a general, nine guards sent 3,000 taels of silver, and more than 2,000 taels of various goods.
