The first thousand one hundred and thirty-one chapters received Dongyu
There is a large house covering an area of ten acres in the northeast corner of Jingyang County. This is a merchant's house, because Chang'an has strict restrictions on merchants and civilians' houses, which cannot exceed three acres, are not allowed to have concubines, and are not allowed to own more than one property.
If you want to increase the living area and take in concubines, there is only one way, which is to obtain a title or obtain a title. But it is difficult to obtain a title, and it is even harder to obtain a title. You must make great contributions to education and Salesian causes.
However, the upper limit of three acres is only in Chang'an City, and is looser in other counties of Jingzhao Prefecture. The upper limit of Xianyang and Xinfeng is five acres, while the upper limit of residential area for merchants and civilians in other counties is relaxed to ten acres.
This house in Jingyang County is just on the edge of the upper limit. It is said that the owner of this house is a grain merchant with a large business. He does business in Chang'an all year round and rarely comes back, so this house looks very deserted.
In the inner hall, an old man with deep eagle eyes was pacing back and forth worriedly with his hands behind his hands. He was none other than Steward Kang among the twelve great stewards of the Tangzhou Chamber of Commerce. Currently, there are only eleven great stewards left. General Wu of Hanzhong has already
Throw yourself into the fire.
The single line of contact caused serious consequences. He did not know at all that the tea shop in Xishi was raided, which triggered a series of serious consequences. The training camp in Hanzhong was confiscated. He also learned that the training camp in Hanzhong was confiscated, and
I urgently sent someone to Chang'an to check, only to find that the tea shop had been sealed.
The steward of Kangda is a little worried at the moment. Just now, the people he sent came back from Chang'an and brought him another extremely shocking news. Changying Martial Arts School was taken over by the inner guards. He was simply shocked. What happened to the inner guards?
Do you know about Changying Martial Arts School?
In order to cover up the Changying Martial Arts School, he did a lot of meticulous work. The Xinfeng Martial Arts School that originally trained the guys was dispersed. The instructors all changed their names and surnames to join the Changying Martial Arts School. All the people in the Martial Arts School were his own people, and there was no outsider.
It can be said that the students in Chang'an are watertight. Except for himself and a few close subordinates, no one in Chang'an knows that Changying Martial Arts School is a martial arts school of Tangzhou Association? How did the inner guards do it?
The stewards of Kangda were in a state of panic. The martial arts school had been seized, and an important treasury of theirs was gone. At the same time, they didn't know how many secrets would be revealed?
He couldn't sit still and sent people to Chang'an overnight to inform the shopkeepers of seventeen shops to evacuate. At the same time, he got on the carriage and rushed to Tongzhou to report the situation to his lord...
Thirty officials were busy until the fourth watch, and finally five shops were identified from more than 2,000 stores in Chang'an.
The main reason is that among the information left by each store to the government, there are only the names of the proprietor and shopkeeper. No store will leave the name of the clerk, and the City Department does not have this requirement.
But the people who go to the martial arts hall to train are usually the clerks, and few shopkeepers go to the martial arts training. The tea shop also sends three clerks to train the martial arts. The shopkeeper Li Wulang did not go.
Therefore, the five stores compared are likely to have the same name and the same surname, which is not the real result.
‘Zhang Lin, Wang Jun, Wang Yansi, Li Ping, Li Zhen’
Seeing these five names, Zhou Min frowned. The names were too common. Basically, just by scanning them on the street, you could find a bunch of those names, and the youngest was forty-five years old?
How is it possible to practice martial arts?
He threw the report on the table. This report could not be reported to His Highness King Jin? It seemed that the list was very useful, but in fact it was of little significance.
"Deputy Commander, we should ask the City Department to come forward and ask every store to hand over the list. It will take at most two or three days to collect it all," one of his subordinates suggested.
Zhou Min still shook his head, "In two or three days, all their members retreated. Besides, the list they handed over was definitely not the real names. No one would honestly hand over the list to the government. Most shops would or
If you do more or less tricks, this method will definitely not work."
Zhou Min looked at other information carefully. There was almost no information of practical significance. For example, there was a thick roster. There were at least one or two thousand warriors trained by this martial arts school over the years. It only had names and no home addresses.
, completely meaningless.
"Did the arrested person confess?" Zhou Min asked.
They captured a total of more than 20 people. The owner of the gym had already died in the battle. Most of the people they captured were ordinary samurai and knew nothing about them. Only the person who burned the list was of some value and was the accountant of the martial arts gym.
"Reporting to the deputy commander, the confession has been obtained, but there are discrepancies between the two confessions, so it is still being verified and should be obtained immediately."
As soon as his subordinates finished speaking, an internal guard general came in and presented the confession, "This is the confession from the torture last night. Please take a look at it, deputy commander."
Zhou Min quickly took the confession and took a closer look. The accountant's name was Wang Liansheng, a native of Chencang County. According to his account, he had worked as an accountant for five stores in the past three years. Below is a list of the five stores.
Zhou Minteng stood up, excited. Unexpectedly, if there was no light in the east and light in the west, the list would be meaningless, but the counting house had revealed five shops.
Zhou Min looked at the sky and saw that just after the fourth watch, he ordered: "Send the order to the first battalion of internal guards to assemble!"
Zhou Min knew the importance of time. He couldn't wait for dawn, so he immediately gathered a thousand internal guards, divided into five groups, to raid five stores, two each in the East Market and West Market, and one in Xi'anmenwai Street, which involved four people.
A shop selling goods and a restaurant.
The restaurant on Menwai Street in Xi'an is called Tianping Restaurant. The owner, Zhu Tianping, was shot dead by assassin Li Xiao with a poison crossbow last year. The restaurant was taken over by his nephew Zhu Yan, and the name of the restaurant remained unchanged.
In the dark of night, two hundred internal guard warriors surrounded the restaurant. A general kicked open the door of the restaurant and led dozens of soldiers to rush to the backyard. Generally, the shopkeeper's room and waiter's room in a restaurant are in the backyard.
In the darkness, two black figures climbed out of the back window of a room. Behind them was Dong Er Road. They were caught by the soldiers who were ambushing here.
Soldiers brought torches, and these two people looked frightened. They were the proprietor Zhu Yan and shopkeeper Han Da. They had just received news from Kang Da’s manager and were preparing to evacuate. Unexpectedly, the internal guards arrived so quickly that they were too late.
Evacuated and was caught red-handed.
A dozen guys who were sleeping in another big room also got up and were taken away.
At the same time, the arrests in the East City and West City were also ended. The two shops in the West City were a step late, and the two shopkeepers had already escaped. The shopkeepers of the two shops in the East City were captured, but to Zhou Min's regret
Yes, the two messengers who came to inform them to evacuate were not captured.
There was no need to wait until dawn. The internal guards interrogated Zhu Yan all night, especially Zhu Yan. His arrest was really beyond Zhou Min's expectation. His arrest may have revealed the mystery of Zhang Daqi's assassination. Zhou Min decided to interrogate Zhu Yan personally.
Yan.
.........
At dawn, Guo Song came to the official room as usual. As soon as he walked into the courtyard gate, a guard came forward to report: "Your Highness, Deputy Commander Zhou of the Internal Guard has been here for more than half an hour. He seems to have not slept all night.
I am humble enough to let him lie down in the meeting hall and take a nap."
Guo Song nodded, "Let him drink some hot tea first, and then invite him to see me!"
Among Wang Yue's many subordinates, the one Guo Song admired the most was Zhou Min. His thinking was clearer than Wang Yue's, and he was more decisive and courageous in doing things.
During this time, Guo Song had been considering merging the Jinwei Mansion and the Inner Guard, and then dividing the Inner Guard into three. One would be responsible for security, one would be responsible for various major cases, and the third would be responsible for private investigations.
Wang Yue is better at security guards, and all arrangements are meticulous and watertight. Zhou Min is even better at investigating cases. As for the private investigation, Guo Song is going to hand it over to Song Tian. As for Guo Yuniang, she has been in charge of it for two years now.
A female guard camp of thousands of people.
At this time, Zhou Min walked in quickly, knelt down on one knee and saluted, "In this humble position, I see His Highness the King of Jin!"
"General Zhou is exempt from courtesy!"
Guo Song asked him to stand up and asked with a smile: "Besides a large amount of money from the martial arts hall yesterday, what other gains did you get?"
During the inspection of the martial arts hall, Guo Song knew that a large number of Tangzhou Chamber of Commerce warriors were killed and a large amount of money was seized. The Ministry of Revenue also took over the martial arts hall, but he was more concerned about the interrogation.
"Reporting to Your Highness, a lot of things happened last night. First, the roster check had no practical significance, and then there was a breakthrough in the accountant's confession. He worked as an accountant in five stores. We arrested these five stores overnight, and at this time,
The Tangzhou Chamber of Commerce also notified shop staff to evacuate. Among the five shops, two shopkeepers ran away, and the other three were arrested in time. Among them, the owner and shopkeeper of Tianping Restaurant were arrested, revealing a mystery that has puzzled us for a long time.
An answer."
"Tian Ping Restaurant?"
Guo Song frowned, "Is that Zhu Tianping who was shot by a poisonous crossbow?"
