Of course, the development of this series of events has at least one advantage; Jiang Tian can legitimately investigate and participate in the matter; although when the matter has reached this point, it is very likely that the key clues have been erased or preempted. Processed or covered up.
Therefore, this requires the assistance of some abnormal investigation methods. Thinking of this, Jiang Tian also felt that the trump card in his hand was still somewhat lacking. So in the reporting room, he suddenly said to Linghu Xiaomu: "Xiaomu, I have something to say to you privately, please come with me."
Then, Linghu Xiaomu's face turned slightly red, but she pursed her lips tightly and let Jiang Tian roll onto the saddle behind her without saying a word; she started trotting again with the two of them riding together. , temporarily left the large group of people and flew towards the distant wilderness.
After waiting for an hour, Jiang Tian and Linghu Xiaomu, who were fully dressed, also returned to the branch entrance outside Chang'an City; only to see Deputy Supervisor Yu Cong, who looked exhausted, already here. Guarded. In addition, there is another censor wearing a green robe with a fish charm on his waist.
"The Supervisor is polite, I am the Imperial Censor, Inspector Gu Shenzhong on the right." While being introduced to Jiang Tian by Yu Cong, the Imperial Censor also introduced himself, and took out an official document from his sleeve pocket and said: "I am here to serve you. On the order of Lantai Zuo Suzheng (Censor Zhongcheng), the supervisor was asked to go to the Taiyuan Shensi Hall to discuss the matter."
"Please lead the way!" Jiang Tian said in a deep voice with understanding: After all, he had just solved the large-scale beast disaster in Xingyuan Mansion that defeated the official army head-on. Therefore, the important people in the court obviously have all kinds of questions and ideas, waiting for him to come back for consultation.
As for why it was in Yushitaiyuan, Jiang Tian could understand it to some extent; this may be because he didn't want to attract too much attention. However, the situation of this meeting was still far beyond Jiang Tian's expectation; because the lineup waiting in the Taiyuan Shensi Hall was a bit too grand.
At the scene, in addition to the left censor Zhongcheng Liu Zhan who was on duty, there were also Shenan Huaigong, the right servant of Shangshu Province, who was in Beijing, and Qiu Wenxuan, the minister of the inner hall of the Privy Council (Gyeonggi). Although it is not as high as the political hall in terms of official rank and rank, it represents the pillar and key to the daily operation of Beijing.
Therefore, this summons itself was filled with all kinds of unusual meanings. At the beginning, it was just a detailed inquiry, about the large-scale beast tide that broke out in Xingyuan Mansion and the defeat of the official army; almost every detail about the expedition into the mountains again and the night battle when they were attacked, as well as the follow-up raid on the caves;
However, the subsequent topics slowly shifted from specific on-site descriptions and comparisons of feedback from multiple parties; to the subsequent clue analysis and situation judgment of the battle; the performance of various soldiers and specific figures in battle, and the various experiences and lessons exposed thereby Gains and losses, areas that need to be corrected.
However, at some point, the topics and discussions they raised gradually turned to exploring Jiang Tian's personal views. For example, in the midst of increasingly relaxed conversations, some seemingly insignificant questions, suggestions and opinions began to be raised, but they had other meanings.
In other words, compared to the previous court summons on behalf of the emperor; or the later riddle-like explanation with Pei Gong at Pei's house; these three important court officials seemed to come from the third faction in the court. represent. Therefore, it was late at night when this meeting ended.
Jiang Tian was also fortunate enough to be invited to taste one of the "Three Wonders", Yushitai Taiyuan's gallery food/late night snack. In the end, I was able to pack up a large portion of beef soup and several kilograms of "Gulouzi" (giant meat pie); of course, Jiang Tian had even greater gains.
During the exchanges and interactions between the three ministers on duty, Jiang Tian could confirm through just a few words that the imperial court was determined to spare no effort to further increase its investment in the censorship department and the Lixingyuan. Therefore, the plan to set up branches in the sixteen prefectures outside the two capitals has been secretly approved.
What followed was the deployment of more manpower, financial resources, authority, and other resources; and these branches located in the sixteen prefectures directly under the imperial court would be supplemented by investigators selected from the local areas and dispatched from the two capital headquarters. A team of laymen serves as flexible force support.
In addition, these branches also have priority over local departments in filing and investigating powers; and the bottom line and collateral damage standards for unconventional investigation methods are relaxed, but only for those below the seventh grade. The use of force and the mobilization of official and military support must also be
Go through the approval process.
As the headquarters of the Eastern Capital/Li Xingyuan, in the name of the Fourth Court of Yushitai, it is possible to directly initiate investigation orders for officials above and below the sixth rank of Beijing officials and above and below the fifth rank of foreign officials; and control them within a short period of time. Personal freedom provides corresponding convenience for subsequent investigation and evidence collection.
In addition, in addition to most of the garrisons of the Imperial Guards in the Sixteenth Prefecture of the two capitals, all the garrison and border troops belonging to the Twelve Guards of Nanya Government; Some of the Long March athletes were also within the range of being called upon to cooperate when the eulogy was held nearby.
For the Xijing branch led by Jiang Tian, the biggest change is that as laymen, the existing left and right battalions that have not yet been completed and trained have rapidly expanded to five battalions; and the internal security directly under the supervision department and mobile team members were also required to expand by three to five hundred people.
Of course, the drama behind this change is about those strengthened members of the team directly under the Supervisor who have experienced varying degrees of mutation but have survived and adjusted. After they are promoted, they will become the backbone and force responsible for leading the team to various places in the Sixteenth Prefecture.
In other words, as the informant of the Privy Council's Inner Office (Gyeonggi Province), Qiu Wenxuan barely made it clear or hinted in person; as long as Jiang Tian was willing to continue to expand the strength of his men and cultivate more team members with similar benign mutations in batches; the Privy Council was willing to provide "everything you need". assist.
But what surprised Jiang Tian was that no one suggested that he hand over the corresponding secret recipes and processes. Maybe he learned something inside through other channels. As a disguised exchange condition and price, the supervisory authority of the Xijing branch led by Jiang Tian was further expanded;
For example, as an envoy of the Supervisory Department, he has the power to carry out public supervision and secret supervision with special means for all internal and external members below the third director of the two capitals and sixteen prefectures, including the Eastern Capital Headquarters; and approve corresponding measures when necessary. The expediency of coercive measures such as suspension, detention, and questioning.
But most of these conditions are not what Jiang Tian wants; he neither wants to become an expert factory other than Jinyiwei, Dongchang, and Xichang in a sense; nor does he want to establish a feared company through this. The spy system, let alone the prosperity and wealth it will bring.
His goal has always been clear, to investigate more of the past and complete more missions and explorations; to eliminate the aliens and further strengthen himself, have more power, and better protect those around him. As for other things, they are all foreshadowing.
Therefore, Jiang Tian also tentatively put forward his own conditions; he hoped to participate in the investigation of the "Night Wandering God" attack on the Prime Minister in the name of Supervisor, and to have the expediency and convenience of acting alone. As the saying goes, "It is disrespectful to come back and not go back." There is no reason to respond passively.
Even if the black hands hiding behind the frame have already dealt with most of the clues and traces; but as long as you are proactive enough to strike out in multiple directions and create enough momentum to scare the snakes or shock the tigers; maybe someone will reveal the flaws and suspicions. Where are the traces?
