Song Qian's blood cooled down just as quickly as it came.
Looking at the corpses on the ground in the cottage, Song Qian's excited heart suddenly felt cold.
"Brother, someone is ahead of us!"
Song Xuan hummed, looked at the surrounding environment, observed the injuries on the body, searched several rooms, and then waved to Song Qian.
"Let's go back to the Yamen!"
Song Qian asked doubtfully: "Let's go now, why don't you look for clues?"
"It's not necessary!" Song Xuan shook his head and said: "The corpses were all killed with one blow, clean and neat. Not even half an hour after they died, all valuable things were looted.
This is our Xuanyiwei's style of doing things.
If nothing unexpected happens, after we have completed our mission by killing the bandits at the entrance of the village, the Xuanyi Guard Yamen will send people to clear out the bandits here. "
Song Qian realized something. "In other words, the Xuanyi Guard Yamen has been keeping an eye on the bandits here for a long time. They waited until we completed the assessment task before sending people to clean up these bandits?"
Song Xuan nodded and said with a smile: "Xuan Yiwei has three yamen. In addition to the inspection department we are affiliated with, there is also the adjudication department and the law enforcement department.
The Inspection Department is mainly responsible for handling cases, the Judgment Department is responsible for trials, and the Law Enforcement Department is, to put it bluntly, an agency specifically responsible for killing people and cleaning up garbage.
There are about a hundred bandits here, but none of them showed signs of struggle before dying. They were all killed instantly. The difference in strength was too big.
If nothing unexpected happens, it should be Xuan Yiwei from the Law Enforcement Department who takes action. "
"The people from the Law Enforcement Department... I have heard of them. It is said that they are all ruthless and exist only for killing. Brother, you said that after we are promoted to the second class Xuanyi Guards, we will not be transferred to the Law Enforcement Department, right? ?”
"It's hard to say. It depends on how strong the relationship between our father and Uncle Zhao is."
My father, Song Yuanshan, has said more than once that he and Zhao Dezhu, the chief officer of the Xuanyi Guard Inspection Department, were good brothers who grew up together wearing crotchless pants. The two had such a good relationship that it was a life-long friendship.
"As long as Uncle Zhao doesn't nod, there's nothing the Law Enforcement Department can do."
Song Qian sighed, "I hope Uncle Zhao can be more diligent. Although I think killing people is not difficult, I don't want to join the Law Enforcement Department and become a killing machine."
Song Xuan squinted his eyes slightly and rubbed his forehead.
Over the years, I sometimes subconsciously uttered some words from my past life, but Song Qian unknowingly learned them. This little girl is becoming more and more like a time traveler.
...
The Xuanyi Guard of the Great Zhou Dynasty is a privileged institution that makes people laugh.
Although the three yamen of Xuanyiwei are related to each other, they are relatively independent and have their own yamen.
Hereditary descendants of the Xuanyi Guards like Song Xuan and Song Qian usually serve in the Xuanyi Guard Inspection Department, but after being promoted to the second-class Xuanyi Guards, they will have a chance to be re-appointed.
Generally, specific duties will be reassigned based on the specific performance of promotion tasks. Some people will be transferred to the Law Enforcement Department, and a very small number of people will be transferred to the Adjudication Department.
As soon as they stepped into the gate of Xuanyi Guard Inspection Department, Song and Xuan were led to the chief officer Zhao Dezhu.
"Uncle Zhao!"
Zhao Dezhu was sitting at the desk at this time, processing the documents on the table. When he saw the Song Xuan brother and sister arriving, he immediately put down his brush and nodded with a smile.
"I have received your performance records here, and the Law Enforcement Department has given them excellent evaluations."
Hearing this, Song Xuan's heart tightened.
Damn it, they are being targeted by the Law Enforcement Department, are they really going to transfer them there?
Sure enough, Zhao Dezhu continued: "There is a transfer order from the Law Enforcement Department, and they want to recruit you to serve in the Law Enforcement Department... I want to ask your opinion, do you want to go?"
Song Xuan shook his head, and Song Qian naturally followed her brother's lead and quickly shook her head in agreement.
"I knew you were unwilling, so I rejected it."
Song Xuan breathed a sigh of relief, "Uncle Zhao, if you directly reject the transfer order from the Law Enforcement Department, will there be any dissatisfaction there?"
Zhao Dezhu laughed and said: "So what if he is dissatisfied? Does that man named Li still dare to fall out with me because of two second-class Xuanyi guards?
Working in the Law Enforcement Department requires you to fight with martial arts masters, and the death rate is not low.
With my relationship with your father, I can't send you there to risk your lives. "
With that said, he stood up and walked to Song Xuan and touched his arm, "I heard that you punched the bandit through the chest?"
Song Xuan nodded sheepishly, "It's my first time to kill someone, and I'm not yet proficient in controlling internal power, so I made Uncle Zhao laugh."
Zhao Dezhu said indifferently: "For things like killing people, if you kill more people in the future, you will slowly gain experience. When dealing with ordinary thieves like this in the future, try not to waste your internal energy at will."
Song Xuan nodded in agreement.
Walking to the desk, Zhao Dezhu handed two second-class Xuanyi Guard tokens to the two of them and said: "In the past, as the third-class Xuanyi Guard, you mainly lived in the imperial capital.
But it's different now. You have become a second-class Xuanyi guard, serving in the Inspection Department. From now on, you will be responsible for the investigation and handling of specific cases.
Originally, you had just passed the assessment, so I was supposed to give you a few days off to rest and recuperate.
But now a case has just been handed in, and I can't find the right manpower here. I'll leave it to you brothers and sisters to handle it. "
With that said, Zhao Dezhu took out a folder from the desk drawer and handed it to Song Xuan.
Song Xuan opened the booklet and browsed it quickly, frowning and said: "Uncle Zhao, usually the local government is responsible for such cases. When did our Xuanyi Guards have to intervene in adultery cases?"
Zhao Dezhu also said helplessly: "Under normal circumstances, such cases among ordinary people are not under the control of our Xuanyi guards.
But this case is a bit special. After some investigation, the local government detectives thought that the matter might involve people from the Jianghu community, so they reported it to our Xuanyi Guards.
It is said that this matter caused very bad public opinion in the local area. Our Inspection Department is responsible for the investigation of the case, so this case fell into our Yamen. "
Song Xuan put away the folder and asked, "Uncle Zhao, can I bring some people over?"
"The second-class Xuanyi guards all have their own errands to be busy with, but you can pick a few of the third-class Xuanyi guards who are dawdling in our inspection department and take them with you.
Remember, after you go, you just need to find out the ins and outs.
If this case is really related to Jiang Hu, once you find out who it is, stop intervening and just report it to me. The batch of killer embryos from the Law Enforcement Department will take action later.
When it comes to fighting against people in the world, they are the professionals! "
"Understood!"
Song Xuan and Song Qian saluted Zhao Dezhu and prepared to leave.
But when he walked out of the door, he turned around and asked again.
"Uncle Zhao, if we encounter someone who threatens us outside..."
Before he could finish speaking, Zhao Dezhu's clear voice sounded.
"Kill if you should, we Xuanyi Guards don't have so many worries!"
"Don't worry, if there's a problem, I'll take care of it!"
