Academy patrol is a position established by the emperor today and independently appointed by the Academy. There is no specific rank, but it is more than half the rank of an official.
Under normal circumstances, patrols are not allowed to interfere with government affairs and local government affairs. The main purpose is to patrol the world and supervise officials. Whether it is military aircraft or government affairs, as long as there are violations, the academy patrols have the right to report them to heaven.
Therefore, in the minds of many people, the Academy Patrol is even more annoying than the Imperial Envoy. The Imperial Envoy jumps up and down in the court too much, so Your Majesty will not take it seriously. However, once a memorial is delivered to the Academy Patrol , His Majesty will deal with it strictly.
On the one hand, this is because today’s emperors trust the academy patrols they have set up. On the other hand, few people participate in the academy patrols. However, once reported, there will be irrefutable evidence, so some officials should really be afraid of the academy patrols. Patrolling like a tiger.
The Academy Tour, as the name suggests, comes from the Academy, and is usually held by tutors or professors from the Academy, with a maximum of twelve people.
Twelve people is the upper limit. Over the years, whenever there are fluctuations, the number is less than this number and never higher than this number. The reason why there are fewer people is not because someone resigned, but because this is a high-risk profession.
In the early years when this position was first established, the people who held the position were all upright people. They tried their best to ensure that they would not be corrupted by the world. Based on this, suitable candidates were selected.
However, it was precisely because of their personality that the first few rounds of patrols could not bear to look at him. Whether it was the princes of the court or the nobles of the aristocratic families, they would go straight to investigate if they were suspicious of him.
After these investigations were carried out, setbacks continued, and even Xingxun himself disappeared and died unexpectedly. Needless to say, the reasons for this also show that it is not enough to be upright, and there must be enough to support his wanton investigation. Strength.
Therefore, in addition to the character requirements for how to deal with others, the academy has also raised the cultivation requirements for Xingxun, which at least requires Xingxun to have a certain ability to protect himself.
Of course, the death of Xingxun also shows that these high-ranking official families are not reverent enough for this position and the emperor's special position. The result is that every time a Xingxun disappears or dies, an entire family is often buried with him.
Later, those aristocratic families who couldn't see the situation clearly were almost slaughtered, and only the smart people were left. Smart people knew how to be afraid, so that a certain classic event happened.
There once was a child of a big family who was greedy for the cultivation resources allocated by the imperial court and was targeted by the academy patrol. He knew that once he was traced, he would definitely die if the emperor punished him, so he decided to take a risk and kill the person at that time. The patrolman who was investigating.
Since death is inevitable on the road ahead, he might as well kill the investigators directly. In case his murder is not discovered, it can be regarded as a way out.
The master of the family somehow found out about this matter, and the master of the family directly tied up every one of the descendant's direct lineage, old and young, women and children, to Dali Temple for trial. The master of the family took the blame for his oversight and admitted that he had lost his title. , in addition to contributing to the foundation of the family's struggle for hundreds of years, such a strong man's act of cutting off his wrist could barely save the lives of the rest of the family.
Since this incident, basically no aristocratic family has taken action against the Xingxun of the Academy, and the mortality rate of the Xingxun has naturally dropped.
However, people in this world are bustling with people, and they come and go for profit after all. No matter how powerful the patrol is, those in power who deserve to share the profit will never hesitate to take action. The small moves were more subtle and not as blatant as when the family was in power in the past.
Then another problem emerged, that is, the previous batch of patrols had sufficient strength but insufficient ability. Faced with intricate, complicated, and obscure events, they were unable to find clues quickly and effectively, let alone follow the clues upwards.
Gradually, the requirements for cultivation for this position have been lowered. At the same time, people with too righteous personalities are not suitable for the position. More monks are needed who are flexible and good at peeling off cocoons.
The tiger has put away his claws, and the hunter has also played his tricks. Say goodbye to the tyrannical era, and the cat-and-mouse game has ushered in a competitive stage. Most things are done under the rules, and it only depends on the level of each person's means.
Ji Linsheng was a product of this stage. He received some reports, which showed that there might be something wrong with the Lingwu County Sheriff.
He came all the way from the academy without making any noise or alerting others, but he was stopped by Master Bu and his group in front of the city gate. This shows that there must be spies from Lingwu County in the academy.
Now that his identity has been revealed, he can no longer investigate secretly, so he simply follows the arrangements of this group of people to see what medicine they are selling in their gourds.
Under normal circumstances, when a patrol patrols a place, as long as they don't take the initiative to come in contact with local officials, even if the local officials know about it, they will pretend not to know and just silently regulate their own behavior so as not to cause trouble with the patrol.
People who hold important positions generally don't have too clean butts. As long as it's not excessive, the patrolmen will turn a blind eye. When the water is clear, there will be no fish.
Therefore, few officials will take the initiative to contact Xingxun. This is nothing more than attracting hatred to themselves, which is something a wise man would not do. However, the reaction of Lingwu County is very different from other places.
Master Bu and his entourage seem to be greeting you at the gate of the city. In fact, it is a demonstration and a provocation. It is to tell you clearly that we all in the city are aware of the movements of your academy tour. Do you think I can come here under such circumstances? Is there anything else that can be found on the site?
Not many people dare to provoke Xingxun. Either they think they are innocent and want to rely on this behavior to promote themselves and get into the sight of big shots, or they think that what they do is handled perfectly and Xingxun is unlikely to find any clues. .
No matter which of the above situations, Ji Linsheng did not want to face it.
It stands to reason that after the show at the city gate, whether Ji Linsheng walked away directly or went directly to the county magistrate's house to negotiate with the magistrate face to face, it was a normal behavior, and he should have the temperament of a patrol.
But he didn't. Instead, he went to the banquet as if nothing had happened, without any sign of falling out. This kind of behavior was telling the people in Lingwu County that I just want to investigate you, and investigate openly. Since you have pointed out my identity, then In the next period of time, he will cooperate with the investigation obediently. It is no longer possible to pretend to be deaf and dumb.
The county governor did not show up during the dinner tonight, leaving a master with no official position to take over. The other party dared to be so arrogant, obviously thinking that the handling was very clean, and he was already prepared to get nothing.
But Ji Linsheng won't completely follow the other party's wishes. The other party's actions are to drive him away, so he won't leave. Don't you think that I can't find anything through the investigation? Then I just want to show more confidence, so confident that it makes you wonder if there is something I haven't handled properly.
Once the other party is shaken, he will inevitably check again one last time, and this check by the other party will be his last and best opportunity.
