Early the next morning, Zhang Zhubo, the governor of Yidu County, walked out of his house in the southeast as usual. The streets outside the door had fewer pedestrians than usual, but there were a few more vendors.
Zhang Zhubo didn't pay attention. He stood at the door and arranged his official uniform, and then swaggered onto the street, preparing to go to the county government office.
"Tomorrow is the official day, and I don't know if the three warriors are ready!"
Zhang Zhubo was thinking about it. He had been planning for several days to assassinate Liu Yan with Zhao Tuiguan. He thought that the plan was flawless. The only thing he was worried about now was whether the three warriors of Qingzhou Central Guard and Qingzhou Right Guard were reliable. .
"We'll see what happens tomorrow. We'll find out today whether Liu Yan's itinerary to inspect the military garrison outside the city will change tomorrow."
While thinking about it, Zhang Zhubo walked to the east end of the street, and a strong man bumped into him, causing Zhang Zhubo to stumble and almost fall on his back.
"You bastard, you bumped into me, and you didn't even look..."
Before Zhang Zhubo could finish his scolding, he immediately lost his temper. Looking down, he saw a sharp dagger pressed against his heart, and cold sweat started to flow down in an instant.
"Don't, don't, if you have something good to say, please speak it carefully!"
The strong man who came was Wu Guojin. At this moment, Wu Guojin pulled Zhang Zhubo in front of him, put a dagger on Zhang Zhubo's lower back, and whispered: "Let's go to your house!"
Zhang Zhubo did not dare to say anything and led the way stiffly. Wu Guojin followed step by step to the door of the house.
"Call the door!"
Zhang Zhubo hurriedly knocked on the door. After a while, a concierge opened the door and came out. He saw that it was his master and was about to smile to please him, but saw the small vendors at the door rushing over one after another, each with a sharp knife in their hand.
"They..." m.
Before the concierge could finish his sentence, he was kicked down by Wu Guojin. A dozen Ye Bushou dressed as vendors rushed in. Wu Guojin also escorted Zhang Zhubo into the yard, and then closed the door with his backhand. OK and locked.
Then there were continuous screams in the courtyard. Zhang Zhubo and his family of eight were all killed by Wu Guojin and Ye Bushou's soldiers.
The letters between Zhang Zhubo and Zhao Tuiguan and others were also searched out by Wu Guojin and others.
Wu Guojin briefly looked through it, then put it away, and then said to the soldiers who stayed overnight: "Set fire, everyone evacuate from the back door!"
"yes!"
These dozen or so names were all the elites of the Guards and Cavalry Battalions. Wu Guojin was appointed by Liu Yan as the Chief of the Intelligence Department, and was given a privilege, that is, he could randomly select his subordinates from each battalion of the New Army. The Intelligence Division was set up and would be improved later.
So Wu Guojin spent a day selecting ten elite men from the nearby guards camp and cavalry camp and kept them at night.
Liu Yan then handed over the investigation of the assassination to Wu Guojin, and told Wu Guojin: "This case is the first case after the establishment of the Intelligence Department! Now Qinglai Town has just got on the right track, and the New Deal is being steadily advanced. This town does not want to Let Xu Xiaoxiao mess up a good situation, so this town must take a preemptive strike and everyone involved in this case will disappear within two days!"
This is the reason why Wu Guojin led the crowd to raid Zhang Zhubo's house.
A moment later, the fire ignited, and the surrounding people ran out in fear, shouting "Water leakage", and rushed over from all directions to put out the fire. However, Wu Guojin had already led his people to withdraw from the back door and disappeared.
At noon that day, Officer Zhao was walking back and forth restlessly, waiting for Zhang Zhubo at the Yidu County Yamen. Normally, Zhang Zhubo would arrive early, but today it was already three o'clock in the morning, but he was still missing.
"Could it be that Zhang Zhubo got cold feet and went to inform the Lord of the Town himself?"
At this time, Tuiguan Zhao was already confused and began to have random thoughts in his mind. At this moment, several government officials from outside ran in, and one of them said to Official Zhao: "Something happened to Master Zhao. There is flooding in the city. Master Zhao asked Master Zhao to lead people to put out the fire!"
Tuiguan Zhao had nowhere to think about putting out the fire, so he said irritably: "What kind of fire are you putting out! Where is the fire?"
The government officials looked at each other with strange expressions, and then one of them said: "Master Zhao, the people who came to report to the government said that it seemed to be at Zhang Zhubo's house. It is said that the fire was already very strong, but Zhang Zhubo was nowhere to be seen. I ran out alone..."
Official Zhao's face instantly turned pale, and he hurriedly called on everyone to put out the fire. The government officials ran out in a hurry, following behind Official Zhao all the way to the south of the city. Looking from a distance, they could indeed see the people ahead. Billowing black smoke.
"Master Zhao, go this way, this is the shortcut!"
A yamen servant suddenly shouted. Zhao Tuiguan was so anxious at this time that he didn't even bother to recognize the way and ran directly along the path guided by the yamen servant.
But after running for a while, Officer Zhao suddenly stopped. Something was wrong!
"Zhang Zhubo's house was flooded. This is a big deal, but the county magistrate never showed up. Even when he ordered to put out the fire, he asked the government servants to come over and tell him what the county magistrate was doing?"
"besides……"
Zhao Tuiguan looked around and saw abandoned houses all around. Unknowingly, he came to a sparsely populated alley.
"Also, where is this place?"
At this time, Officer Zhao turned back to look for the government officials. There were still no figures anywhere. He only heard the footsteps gradually running away, but he didn't know where those people had gone.
"It's over!"
Seeing this scene, Tuiguan Zhao entered the ice cellar, turned around and was about to run away, but saw two burly men walking out of the deserted house holding sharp knives. At the same time, Tuiguan Zhao also walked out of two people behind him, also holding sharp knives. The four people surrounded Zhao Tuiguan and had no way to escape.
"Who are you? I am a county government official. If you dare to kill an official, are you trying to rebel?"
Seeing this, Officer Zhao had to pretend to be calm. After scolding him, he saw the leader took out a badge with the words "New Army Guards Camp" written on it.
These strong men are naturally Wu Guojin's subordinates, but the intelligence department's waist badges have not yet been produced, so everyone still uses the new army's waist badges for the time being.
When Zhao Tuiguan saw this, he understood that the matter must have been exposed. Liu Yan didn't know whether it was because of insufficient evidence or because he didn't want to be too involved, so he finally chose to deal with it secretly.
"Ha ha!"
Official Zhao suddenly laughed, with a sense of helplessness and despair in his laughter: "It's ridiculous that Zhang Bo is still daydreaming all day long, saying that assassinating Liu Yan will cause chaos in Qinglai. We will be able to get back all the confiscated cultivated land, and our respective servants will be safe. Now it seems how naive it is to advocate Bo, and how stupid I am to listen to such nonsense!"
The four Ye Bu Sheng listened to Zhao Tuiguan's words quietly, and then one of them stepped forward and sealed his throat with a knife. Zhao Tuiguan's eyes widened, his hands covering his throat, and he fell to the ground unwillingly, blood gushing out like a fountain. out.
Officer Zhao was lying on the ground and twitching continuously. After a while, his eyes became dull and lifeless.
"Carry people in."
The captain pointed to an abandoned house nearby and said: "The pit has been dug. You bury the people. I will deal with the blood stains here."
"yes!"
"This guy is lucky to be alone!"
The captain of Ye Bushou was named Wang Yang. When Wu Guojin was selecting personnel, he caught his eye. At this time, Wang Yang secretly thought: "I don't know if Wu Tou's side is going well."
In the afternoon, Wu Guojin took several night soldiers to the military camp in the city. This was a remote camp, and all the surrounding New Army officers and soldiers were secretly transferred away.
"Wu Tou, everyone is inside."
Wu Guojin nodded. The ones he chose were all talented. It seemed that he did not make a mistake. He handled things cleanly and neatly. He was a rare talent.
"Were you not discovered by the three of their subordinates?"
"Haha, don't worry, Mr. Wu. Those soft-footed shrimps under their command don't even know about it. They are probably still eating and drinking in the military camp."
"Ah That's good."
After saying that, Wu Guojin walked into the camp and saw the two hundred-household officials from the Qingzhou central guard and the chief flag officer from the Qingzhou right guard falling to the ground. All three were tied up with a rag in their mouths.
"Woo! Woo!"
When the three of them saw Wu Guojin, they immediately screamed. Wu Guojin sneered and said, "Don't waste your efforts. The head of the town is already aware of your conspiracy with Yidu County Yamen Zhang Bo and Zhao Tuiguan." It’s time for you to get into trouble!”
The three of them were dumbfounded when they heard this, and the chief flag officer among them burst into tears. The area between his legs instantly became wet, and a strong smell filled the air. Wu Guojin couldn't help frowning and took a few steps back.
The two Baihu officials were not much better. One was frightened and fainted, and the other struggled to kneel down, kowtowed to Wu Guojin, and kept whimpering in his mouth, as if Just begging for mercy.
"You are really worthless. You have the guts to do it, but you don't have the guts to take responsibility. People like you actually dare to assassinate the mayor. You are really crazy!"
Wu Guojin fanned his hands, looked at the three of them with some disgust, and said, "Okay, don't waste your efforts. I will send someone to send you on your way in a moment. It doesn't matter if you do stupid things in this life, be careful in the next life!"
After saying that, Wu Guojin left the camp and said to his men waiting at the door: "Be careful while cooking, and try not to use a knife, as it will be difficult to clean up."
"Okay, Wu Tou, don't worry."
"Um."
Wu Guojin walked aside and watched as several of his men entered the camp and walked out a moment later. Each of them carried a large sack and trudged towards the large car parked next to it.
I saw a few people loading large sacks into the car, then covering them with a lot of grass, covering them with tarpaulins, and fixing them with ropes.
"Wu Tou, let's set off first."
"Well, be careful on the road. You must come back before dark."
"yes!"
At dusk, Wu Guojin arrived at the Governor's Mansion. Liu Yan was very satisfied after listening to Wu Guojin's report and said, "It seems that the town did not misjudge the person. The town is relieved to hand over the Intelligence Department to Wu Sicheng."
Wu Guojin was overjoyed when he heard this, clasped his fists and said, "With these words from the Lord Commander, my subordinates will be happy and will definitely serve the Lord Commander with all their heart!"
In the next few days, Wu Guojin successively transferred two batches of night guards from each battalion to set up the structure of the Intelligence Department.
The name of the chief of the criminal cao was Yao Guangming, and the name of the chief of the case treasury was Guo Minghe. Both of them were in the army and refused to collect them at night. Yao Guangming had some knowledge of interrogation matters, so Wu Guojin entrusted him with the management of the criminal record library. Guo Minghe was literate and was said to have attended private school for several years, so he was the perfect person to manage the case record library.
As for the person in charge of the investigation of Cao, Wang Yang, the captain of Ye Bu Shu, performed well in the operation to eliminate Zhang Zhubo and others, and was favored by Wu Guojin, so he handed over the key department of Investigation Cao to Wang Yang.
A few days later, when Liu Yan was deploying intelligence collection matters to Wu Guojin, Miao Shao came quickly to report: "Sir, I have just received an official document from the Governor's Palace, and Governor Lu is ready to come over for inspection."
"Um?"
Liu Yan frowned slightly and asked, "Where is the official document?"
Miao Shao handed over the official document, and Liu Yan read it and said: "The official document said that Governor Lu wanted to inspect local military and political affairs, but he came to Qinglai Town for the purpose of expanding and training the new army. Governor Lu is here to check the bottom and see if our new army has become an army."
Some people died, but not completely...
