White Bone Monkey King
Chapter 1533 Who dares to question the case that the Criminal Investigation Department is going to h
The Biyan carriage of the Commander of the Criminal Investigation Department has not appeared in front of the people of the capital for a long time.
Every time I see a Biwan carriage, something big is going to happen, causing an uproar in the capital.
Take the last time I saw the Biyuan carriage as an example. That time, Marquis Shenwu was so domineering. He first demolished the temple that the Tianzhu people believed in, and then shot the Rakshasa business group with a bow in the street. Outside the imperial city.
Many people saw the scene that day.
A sensation.
Instead of blaming Marquis Shenwu for committing murders in the street and being brutal and domineering, the people in the capital praised him greatly. The people all praised Marquis Shenwu for bringing great dignity to the country.
Those Tianzhu people and Rakshasa people were so bold as to kidnap the Criminal Inspector and attack people in the imperial court. They deserve death. There is no such thing as dismemberment by five horses and execution by splitting a chariot. These are all too cheap for these foreign races.
Today, the majestic and official carriage, drawn by four large Saibei horses, once again appeared in front of the people of the capital. Behind and behind the carriage, there was a large group of criminal inspectors wearing official uniforms and carrying knives. Caused commotion among the people.
Discussions were buzzing on the street. Everyone already knew that Jin An was returning to Beijing today, and they were all curious to discuss that Marquis Shenwu had just returned to Beijing today and led the Criminal Investigation Department out in full force. What big case was this going to handle?
Then they all discussed what kind of major case could attract the attention of Marquis Shenwu so much that he started traveling non-stop as soon as he returned to Beijing.
Wherever the Criminal Investigation Department passed, more and more people gathered to watch the excitement. Everyone was curious and followed the team, wanting to see what happened.
Spice shop.
Under the orders of several deputy commanders, the Criminal Investigation Department personnel spread out and surrounded the entire spice shop.
In the high-rise attics in the surrounding cities, people heard the noise outside and walked to the windows and corridors one after another. They looked in the direction of the noise and saw the scene of people from the Criminal Investigation Department holding torches and surrounding the spice shop.
So many torches formed a huge fire ring, lighting up the night brightly, and people shouting and horses neighing. It was quite spectacular when viewed from above.
At this time, the spice shop was in chaos, and there were many shady people from all walks of life hiding in it. When they suddenly saw the Criminal Investigation Department surrounding the spice shop with such a big fanfare, they all thought they were coming for themselves.
Anyone who hangs out in the spice shop knows one thing. The spice shop is the domain of the palace servants and the nobles. No one in the court will conflict with the celebrities around the emperor's family over a spice shop.
This spice shop has its own rules, and no outsider can interfere. No matter how long the hands of the three major magicians in the capital are, they still cannot reach into the spice shop.
Because the spice shop not only involves the interests of the servants, but also because many noble concubines in the palace come to the spice shop to buy their powders and spices.
Which concubine in the harem doesn't have a strong backing family? There are so many forces intertwined together, and the interests are complicated, so even the three major law ministers can't reach into the spice shop.
This resulted in the spice shop having its own rules, and forces other than the internal servants could not get involved. They always lived in peace, which attracted many people from all walks of life, as well as some desperadoes, who all gathered in the spice shop and regarded the spice shop as their own. Make a safe hiding place.
The spice shop cannot be moved. This is almost an unspoken rule that everyone from the dignitaries to the foreign businessmen in the capital agrees on.
As a result, the spice shop, which had been peaceful for many years, was suddenly broken today. Seeing the Criminal Investigation Department surrounding the spice shop, it seemed that they wanted to use the spice shop to set a precedent. It can be said that one stone caused a thousand waves and shocked many people's jaws. .
Some curious people began to ask around, but they couldn't tell who the Criminal Investigation Department wanted to arrest when they came to the spice shop this time.
This has aroused even more controversy among the people. Some people say that Marquis Shenwu is so arrogant that he dares to deceive his master because of his high achievements. He even dares to touch the spice shop. Don't you know that the spice shop is behind the concubines in the palace?
Some people secretly criticized in their hearts that Marquis Shenwu was a martial arts immortal and ranked first in martial arts. There was really no need to fear the noble clan behind the imperial concubine.
Everyone kept these words in their hearts and did not say them out loud to avoid causing disaster to the nine clans.
At this time, several deputy commanders of the Criminal Investigation Department shouted orders, attracting the attention of all onlookers.
"The Criminal Investigation Department investigated the case and found that some recalcitrant spies of the Steppe Khanate were hiding in the spice shop, intending to carry out revenge for the subjugation of the country. We received an order to thoroughly investigate all the personnel of the spice shop. They were not allowed to enter or leave. If any resisters were encountered, they would be punished. It will be regarded as a crime of collaborating with the enemy and sent to the water prison of the Criminal Investigation Department. If anyone resists with weapons, he will be killed on the spot. "
Several entrances and exits of the spice shop were blocked by the deputy commander and his men. Several deputy commanders announced the blockade of the spice shop one after another. When they heard that remnants of the Steppe Khanate were hiding in the capital, it caused a huge commotion.
Not long ago, the great witch master of the Grassland Khanate attacked the capital, but it was still vivid in his mind.
Although most ordinary people do not know the details and do not know that the great witch master of the Prairie Khanate personally attacked, they all know that it was the steppe Khanate who wanted to go to Beijing to assassinate the emperor.
When they heard that the Criminal Investigation Department was here to arrest the spies of the Grassland Khanate, many people had such expressions. The current situation in the world is tense, and this reason is the most reasonable.
This reason was given to Deputy Commander Sun by Jin An on the way here.
This reason can be excused from top to bottom. Even if an official wants to get involved with him later, he must carefully consider whether he will be suspected of being a traitor and a spy, whether it will arouse the emperor's suspicion, and whether it is worth it.
In the imperial position, every step up is not easy.
There was only one location, but there were dozens of pairs of eyes staring at it.
One wrong step and you will be attacked by alien parties, and you will be trapped in a situation that is beyond redemption.
Emperors have always been suspicious of each other. Officials are most afraid of being suspected by emperors. Even if there is only a little suspicion, their careers will be ruined.
Now is the time, the right time, the right place, and the right people are all in his Criminal Investigation Department. It is the best time for him to take the opportunity to sweep away dissidents.
However, there are always some fools who can't see the situation clearly. At this juncture, they try to hit the stone with an egg, or they try to please the superiors and are used as cannon fodder without knowing it.
The spice shop is still in chaos. At this time, a eunuch with several followers came to the deputy commander Sun who was blocking the road and asked who gave the order to block the spice shop. He said that there was evidence that there were spies from the enemy country hidden in the spice shop.
This eunuch was wearing official clothes and belonged to the ninth rank official. No wonder he dared to confront the deputy commander of the Criminal Investigation Department.
Eunuchs are divided into those with official ranks and those without official ranks.
Eunuchs with official ranks can wear official clothes. If the official rank is high, they can also wear court clothes.
Among these eunuchs with official ranks, the most distinguished are the eunuchs who serve the emperor's family. People outside the palace often call these eunuchs Zhongguiren, for example, the eunuchs favored by the queen are called Zhongguiren by people outside the palace.
Deputy Commander Sun rode on horseback with a sword, and looked at the poor eunuch in front of him with cold eyes. He was really stupid. He still couldn't see the situation clearly.
A ninth-rank eunuch without real power was not enough for the Deputy Commander of the Criminal Investigation Department to dismount and greet him. Deputy Commander Sun ignored this dying person and began to order other people in the Criminal Investigation Department to enter the spice shop for search.
"If you see suspicious people, take them back for interrogation."
"If you encounter resistance, kill them without mercy."
"Don't let a fly out of this spice shop today."
Deputy Commander Sun's three orders were full of heroic spirit, and the brothers of the Criminal Investigation Department were greatly infected, and they all sang a loud "yes" with great morale.
The hundreds of people responded in unison, which was murderous and shocking. The momentum was like a march to war. The eunuchs who had lived in the palace for a long time had never seen such a murderous scene, and they took a step back in shock.
When he realized that he was afraid in public, he was in the spice shop but lost to the criminal inspection department in momentum. This scene was seen by many people. How could he survive in the spice shop and among his peers in the future? Thinking of this, he stepped forward in anger and asked Deputy Commander Sun with a harsh tone: "You criminal inspection department dare not even say who gave the order. Are you bending the law for personal gain and using public tools for private purposes? You know that you are disturbing the people! So you dare not say it!"
Deputy Commander Sun looked down at the poor man in front of him, and the look in his eyes that looked at the dead was more obvious.
At this time, Jin'an's voice came from the Bi'an carriage, and the voice was calm and calm: "This is the order from this commander."
"Why, you, a ninth-rank eunuch, are qualified to question the case that my Criminal Investigation Department is going to handle?"
"The commander has not answered my last question yet. Do you have solid evidence that the Spice Shop has spies from the enemy country? If the commander can report the other party's surname, name, and which house he is hiding in, we will immediately assist the commander to capture the enemy spies and sacrifice ourselves for the court." The ninth-rank eunuch still refused to give way and wanted to continue to block the road and question.
He relied on his status as a eunuch and was in the Spice Shop. He thought that the Criminal Investigation Department would not dare to really be an enemy of the entire Eunuch Department except for verbal intimidation, but he misjudged the situation. A ninth-rank official with no real power dared to block the carriage of the Criminal Investigation Department commander in the street.
In the Bi'an carriage, Jin'an's voice remained calm: "Deputy Commander Sun, if there is obstruction and resistance to the law, how should it be convicted?"
Because he had received advance instructions on the way here, Deputy Commander Sun answered without hesitation: "It will be regarded as treason and imprisoned."
Jin'an: "What should be the conviction if there is repeated obstruction?"
Deputy Commander Sun warned in a cold voice: "At this time when the two countries are at war, severe punishment should be used and no mercy should be given."
"Why don't you take down this treasonous spy? After clearing out the spice shop, put him and other suspects in the water prison and torture them to see if there are any remnants." Deputy Commander Sun gave an order, and immediately a dozen people came with shackles and shackles to tie up the ninth-rank eunuch and his entourage.
Seeing that the Criminal Investigation Department was really going to torture him as a prisoner, the eunuch in the ninth-rank official uniform was so angry that he couldn't speak. He subconsciously pushed away the shackle that was about to be put on his neck.
As a result, he was greeted by a cold light, click!
The knife was raised and the head fell, blood splattered ten steps away.
Deputy Commander Sun held a bloody long knife in his hand and said murderously: "This person has repeatedly obstructed the enforcement of the Criminal Investigation Department. After investigation, his identity as a eunuch is fake. He is actually a spy from the grassland Khanate lurking in the capital. He deserves death."
"Come here, carry the body of this traitor away, and take it back to the Criminal Investigation Department with the other suspects to be strictly interrogated to see if there are other remnants."
Thump, thump, the followers were so scared that they all knelt on the ground, their faces pale.
Looking at the body that fell heavily to the ground and splashed blood, and the headless neck was still gushing out hot blood, there were many screams from the crowd watching the excitement.
More people had dilated pupils and took a breath of cold air.
It was not until then that they realized the seriousness of the situation. The Criminal Investigation Department was serious this time and really wanted to extend its tentacles into the spice shop, which was different from the previous small fights.
Who would kill people when they came for a small fight?
Moreover, the person killed was a ninth-rank eunuch with an official rank.
Perhaps even the eunuch who was killed could not have imagined that the Criminal Investigation Department would actually execute him in the street.
He naively thought that the worst outcome would be that he would be imprisoned by the Criminal Investigation Department, and soon someone from the Ministry of Internal Affairs would come to rescue him, so he dared to stop the Criminal Investigation Department several times to kill the prestige of the Criminal Investigation Department and let people recognize that the Spice Shop was the territory of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and they would not dare to reach out casually from then on.
He was determined that the Criminal Investigation Department would not really break up with the Internal Affairs Ministry.
It can only be said that this person died unjustly. He did not consider his own weight, and dared to swim in any muddy water. He actually wanted to die caught between the martial arts immortals and the internal servants.
The Ministry of Internal Affairs can ignore the commander of the Criminal Investigation Department, but it dare not ignore the martial arts and immortals.
As the Criminal Investigation Department attacked the internal servants, the undercurrent was surging in the capital at this moment, and pieces of information were rushed to all parts of the capital, dooming many people to stay up all night.
Someone is asking for help from higher ups.
Someone is spreading the news to the outside world that the Criminal Investigation Department is suspected of going to war with the Interior Ministry.
And with this killing of chickens as a warning to monkeys, the subsequent search of the spice shop by the Criminal Investigation Department immediately became much smoother, and no more obstacles were encountered. Even local snakes had to stay calm at this moment and wait patiently to go out and ask for help. people brought back the news.
The spice shop was a mixed bag, and some fugitives wanted by the government were hiding in it. Sporadic fights broke out during the search, but under the pressure of several deputy commanders, these sporadic fights ended quickly.
After this search, no big fish were caught, only a dozen small fish were caught. A search of more than a dozen servants in the spice shop found no big fish that Jin An and Fatty Li were looking for.
These chamberlains were very tough-mouthed and couldn't get anything out of the interrogation. They all stared angrily at the Biyan carriage, as if they wanted to kill the murderer in the carriage with their eyes.
Suddenly, a criminal inspector hurried over, looked nervously and whispered a few words to Deputy Commander Sun, and handed him an exorcism charm.
The exorcism talisman was almost burned, leaving only fragments the size of fingernails.
Everyone in the Criminal Investigation Department has an exorcism charm painted by an old Taoist priest.
It seems that this spice shop not only hides people from all religions, but also some ghosts and snakes.
Deputy Commander Sun took the fragment of the exorcism talisman, and his expression changed. He did not dare to delay, and rode to the Biwan carriage. Then he dismounted and reported the situation, and handed over the fragment of the exorcism talisman.
The person who opened the curtain was not Jin An, but an old Taoist priest wearing a yellow robe.
There was only silence in the Biwan carriage for a while, and soon the old Taoist priest opened the curtain and nodded to Deputy Commander Sun, letting him lead the way.
Among the aristocratic families, there has always been a saying that one tael of spices and one tael of gold are available, which shows how profitable these spices are.
Because of the low status of merchants, few nobles and nobles were directly involved in the spice shop business, but this did not mean that the upper class nobles would give up this huge piece of fat.
As a result, a situation was formed in which eunuchs with mutilated and humble bodies controlled the spice shops.
And these eunuchs also represent the natal power of the concubines in the harem.
Merchants doing spice business in spice shops can be roughly divided into three types. One is the Han people, who almost monopolize the entire spice shop business;
The second is the merchants from the Western Regions. They traveled thousands of miles to Kangding State through the Desert Silk Road, and brought their own spices to Kangding in exchange for scarce silk, tea, porcelain, ironware, medicinal materials, etc. in exchange for barter.
The third is Nanyang spices brought from the mountains and forests of Nanman and small overseas countries.
Nanyang spices are also very popular in the aristocratic circles of the capital. For example, frankincense and ambergris are tributes that only emperors can afford. Another example is agarwood and sandalwood from Nanyang. The long-lasting aromatherapy effect is far better than that of Gracilaria, Pichia, etc. Local spices such as Shenjiao, Guigui, and Mulan.
When it comes to exorcism charms, we have to start with Nanyang spices...
