After the vendor was brought in, he stood against the wall opposite Yong Shijing, with his head lowered.
Yong Shijing asked in a gentle tone: "You are the mobile post guarding the chief officer of the Guard Department, right?"
"Yes."
Hearing Yong Shijing's soft tone, the vendor boldly raised his head and looked at Yong Shijing and Yong Ganping beside him.
"How old are you this year? How long have you been involved in operational missions?"
"My subordinate is nineteen this year and has been selected to perform the mission for more than a year."
From his answer, Yong Shijing knew that this was the practice of "Yong Wang Wei". In the Wei, self-defense belongs to the officer level, and the positions are mainly hereditary.
School officers are the backbone of the front line and are often subject to casualties during operations, so they are often promoted and appointed from among their subordinates.
The number of subordinates was appointed by Emperor Renzong. In addition to subordinates at all levels, the Yong family and its "Four Davids" had 2,000 subordinates, and the "Wang" and "Wei" families each had 500 subordinates. The whole Wei family in total had a total of 2,000 subordinates.
There are three thousand subordinates.
Subordinate positions are hereditary. After the father dies, the son succeeds, and the elder brother succeeds the younger brother. Until there is no descendant to take over the position, it will be taken back to the Ministry of Health and reported to the General Guard for approval and be allocated separately.
All men affiliated with the Ministry of Health will be registered when they reach the age of 18, undergo centralized training, and select the best to be assigned to the Ministry of Health to perform tasks.
This subordinate dressed as a hawker was selected and appointed according to the regulations of Wei Zhong.
But Yong Shijing realized from his answer that something was wrong with this person, so she asked: "You were not originally the person who personally accompanied the chief officer of the Guard Department. How did you get transferred to these eight people? Hurry up and tell the truth."
The subordinate hurriedly replied: "I don't know why, I only know that I was transferred to the personal guard about a year ago and have been here ever since."
"What's your name? Who gave you the transfer order?"
"My subordinate's name is Wu Jun. The person who transferred my subordinate to change of guard is Li Jin, the school officer of the Guard Right School of the Ministry of Health."
"Does he have official paperwork for you?"
"No, it was a verbal transfer order."
"Wu Jun, what was your original position? What tasks were you mainly responsible for?"
"Reporting to the special envoy, the transportation support team formerly at the Guards' Right School of the Ministry of Health is responsible for the transportation of supplies needed for the daily life of the Ministry of Health personnel."
Yong Shijing frowned and asked: "Where is the Ministry of Health's material warehouse in Tonglu?"
"In the 'I-road' warehouse."
"Is that the Ministry of Health's exclusive warehouse? Or is it rented?"
"Returning to the special envoy, it is the exclusive warehouse of the Ministry of Health. The people guarding the warehouse are colleagues of the Ministry of Health guard. Only the workers responsible for loading and unloading the goods are hired."
"Are there any warehouses available for rent?"
"No."
"Did you receive any special tasks in your new position?"
"After serving as the secret guard for the chief guard, I once reported the problems I discovered to the superior officer, and then I was transferred to the mobile post the next day."
Regarding this new situation, Yong Shijing feels a little strange. Under normal circumstances, superiors will further verify the issues reported by subordinates, and at the same time order those who found the report to continue to pay attention to the subsequent situation in order to report in a timely manner.
But after Wu Jun reported the abnormal situation, he was immediately transferred. If there were no problems, why would he do this?
"Wu Jun, tell me what you discovered?"
"Yes, one time when I was following my chief officer to work, I found someone following us secretly.
After I informed another companion, he was responsible for continuing to protect the commander, while I went to find out the status of the stalker.
After the stalker discovered that he was exposed, he immediately turned away.
Later, under my tracking, the other party hid in an alley and eventually reached a dead end.
At this time, the opponent revealed his face, and turned out to be Chen Hai, the former guard officer's guard subordinate.
He said that if you want to survive, don't tell anyone his name. What he does is worthy of the Ministry of Health and he will not hurt the chief officer.
I told him that I wanted to report the situation truthfully, and he said that it was my duty and he would not force me to do so, but he only needed to tell me about being followed, and never say who it was.
Reporting the situation truthfully is tantamount to sentencing myself to death, and unless I take my own life, then there is nothing he can do."
Yong Shijing looked at Wu Jun's expression and eyes and concluded that he was not lying, so she asked: "What else did Chen Hai say to you?"
"Before he left, he told me that I must protect the chief officer, because someone would do harm to the chief officer.
I asked him, 'Why are you following the chief officer secretly?'
He replied, 'I want to speak to the chief officer, but I don't want to embarrass our current guards, so I'm looking for an opportunity.'"
"Did you ask him if he was alone or with companions and partners?"
"Special envoy, my subordinates didn't ask. I was a little confused and a little scared at the time."
"Do you have a gun on you?"
"Bring it with you. The secret sentries guarding the chief officer are all equipped with guns."
"You have a gun in your hand, what are you afraid of?"
"Special envoy, you don't know something. I see that Chen Hai doesn't look the same as before. His expression is very scary, as if he is just recovering from a serious illness. He looks very bad."
"What was he like before?"
"Very strong and energetic."
Yong Shijing nodded, and in order to ease Wu Jun's mood, she asked: "Have you ever been to training before you joined the guard's right school?"
Wu Jun shook his head and said, "Returning to the special envoy, this subordinate has not participated in any training organized by the Ministry of Health.
The subordinate was notified to join the Guard Right School one month after his family reported the list of eligible males in the family in accordance with the requirements of the Ministry of Health.
I officially joined the company on the third day after receiving the notice. I stayed at the right school of the guard for less than two months and was transferred to the post of chief guard officer."
"Without intensive training, can you meet the job requirements on the job?"
"Returning to the special envoy, the rear guard is not like the left guard who is responsible for operations, the personnel must be flexible and shrewd; it is also different from the avant-garde who is responsible for operations, the personnel must be strong and agile, and it is even different from the right guard who is responsible for intelligence, the personnel must be alert and capable
, good at discovering clues.
Guards are mainly responsible for the supply and security of materials. They mostly do procurement, transportation, storage and distribution. They only need to follow the rules and regulations of the Ministry of Health. They are good at keeping things and do not like changes.
Therefore, although my subordinates have not undergone intensive training from the Ministry of Health, they are still qualified for their job responsibilities and have not made any mistakes."
Yong Shijing listened to Wu Jun's story and couldn't help but be full of doubts about Tan Zheng. He was a guard commander. Although he had control of all the materials and equipment of the Ministry of Health and had direct jurisdiction over the personal guards of the chief guard officer, he actually held a high position and had no power.
A guard commander with actual combat effectiveness.
Once he becomes dissatisfied, it is easy for other guards to join forces to counterattack. It is impossible for Tan Zheng not to know the key point of this.
He was supposed to be a close confidant of the chief official of the Ministry of Health, so why did he do something extraordinary?
