As soon as Wang Yiming left, Wang Jian followed.
"Wang Jian meets your lord."
Wang Jian came relatively late, but that didn't mean he just got the news. In fact, as soon as Shen Hao came out of the commander's office last night, he used Qianli Note to notify Wang Jian. Wang Jian arrived in the imperial city that night, but he had been making emergency arrangements with the spies in the imperial city, so he had not shown up before.
Like Wang Yiming, Wang Jian also understood that this was a rare opportunity. The black water in his hand will definitely be a very important part of the investigation this time.
"Well, are all the people deployed?"
"Yes, sir, according to your instructions, all the residences of officials from fourth grade and above in the imperial city have been assigned extra manpower to ensure that no news is missed."
The Imperial City has always been the place where Blackwater has invested the most manpower and material resources, followed by the City of Fusi. Recently, after two rounds of manpower recruitment, it has begun to strengthen the construction of intelligence tentacles in other places in all aspects.
This time, after Wang Jian arrived in the imperial city, he immediately summoned several spy leaders here and arranged Shen Hao's orders. Even the Impermanence Department came with more than ten elites just in case.
"The most important things at present are the Ministers and Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of Justice, the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of Works, and the Ministry of Rites. Their whereabouts, recent trips and visits, movements of people at home, and the frequency of use of the teleportation circle. I need you to report them as soon as possible. Create a file to record these in detail.
I have asked Wang Yiming to find the documents for Ye Lansheng. Next, I will make a detailed map of Ye Lansheng's blood relationship, so that the connections behind him will be clear. You should go to Wang Yiming yourself and ask him to make a copy of it and bring it back to you, so that the people in Heishui can do some analysis based on the map so that you can be prepared. "
Shen Hao always felt that Ye Lansheng himself was a huge trap. He didn't know what would happen after the case was investigated, so he could only prepare himself as much as possible.
Wang Jian bowed to accept the order, then saw Shen Hao waving his hand and bowing, then hurriedly left. He went to find Wang Yiming to ask for something.
For the whole day after that, Shen Hao stayed in Ye Mansion. The items found need to be identified and estimated by knowledgeable people. The people they found were several old masters from an auction in the Imperial City. They discussed and estimated a price, and then a soldier from the Black Flag Camp A note is clearly written on the ledger.
Shen Hao didn't need to pay attention to these tasks. What he cared about were the documents and slips found from the Ye family's study and secret rooms, as well as a large number of copper bars and Qianli Note stubs. The content on these things is what really stirs people's hearts.
After these documents and copper bars were found by the soldiers from the secret room, Shen Hao asked them to gather them all in the main room of Ye Mansion, and then put them away one by one by eight school commanders. The basis for sorting is based on the yamen category. For example, those from the local government are grouped together; those from the six ministries are each classified into a category; those from the military, those from the dental industry, and so on.
Shen Hao was very surprised that Ye Lansheng, the head of the civil service, had so many documents and letters related to the military. The content inside also opened Shen Hao's eyes.
The military seems to be fairly united, and it seems to be very resilient to the perennial suppression by civilian officials. Although it is at a disadvantage, it is not completely powerless to fight back. But who would have thought that so many people in the army were flirting with Ye Lansheng, openly cursing the civil servants for not being human beings, but secretly giving Ye Lansheng various tips, acting like they were "one of their own".
Not only are there garrison men, but there are also many such wall-mounted factions in the four major front armies and frontier armies, and they are all military generals with high official positions. Many of them are names that Shen Hao has heard of.
In this way, Shen Hao no longer feels strange that the military has been suppressed by civilian officials for many years and cannot hold its head high.
Of course, among these letters and documents, Xuan Qingwei's share is indispensable. It's just that the Xuanqing Guards belong to the emperor's personal soldiers and have an unusual status. Moreover, Pang Ban's management has always been arrogant, and people who are half-hearted will not be able to climb up. Therefore, most of these letters and documents are from official positions in Qianhu Offices in various places, and there are no people at the level of governor. This somehow made Shen Hao breathe a sigh of relief. Otherwise, there will be many more variables in this matter.
The first search of Ye Mansion was not completed until after noon. Later, all the things found at this stage will be brought back to the Black Flag Battalion's temporary residence at the Commander's Yamen for detailed analysis and summary. These will be placed in the Black Flag Camp as the initial case files and will serve as the basis for subsequent official case files.
At the beginning of the Shen Dynasty, Shen Hao left the Ye Mansion and personally took fifty Black Flag Battalion elites and more than a hundred Forbidden Army soldiers to escort these more than twenty carts of treasures and documents returned to the command post. yamen. Once we arrive at the commander's office, we are completely safe.
The things that were shipped back began to be formally sorted and filed. Shen Hao asked Wang Yiming to keep an eye on these things in person. Things must not be missing or damaged, and they must not be omitted or wrong. As for the prices of those belongings, Shen Hao was also extremely cautious this time. He filled in whatever the auction house people estimated, without increasing or decreasing. He also numbered each piece of property, striving to make sure that there was not much for each item. .
Although there are many good things like these, there are some overseas products that even Shen Hao would be jealous of. But you can't take it, otherwise you will be in trouble and you won't be able to get rid of it. Although the people below are all trusted by Shen Hao, the money and silk are so attractive that Wang Yiming still keeps an eye on them personally just in case.
Afterwards, Shen Hao did not go to his own residence to rest, but instead went back to the dungeon assigned to them by the Black Flag Operation to handle the case.
Although the commander's office is not large, the dungeon is unusually huge. There are five floors underground. Shen Hao is allocated half of the cells on the first and second floors. This is enough for Shen Hao to imprison a thousand people. There are more people, which shows the size of this place.
After a long series of complicated procedures, Shen Hao entered the dungeon. The first floor held the eighty-two people taken from the Ye Mansion last night, including servants and slaves. There were twenty-three people who were blood relatives of the Ye family, all of them direct relatives of Ye Lansheng. Of course, this is not all of them. There are still many scattered in various places outside the Imperial City. At this time, people from the Black Flag Battalion in various places have seized them, and they will all be brought back to the Imperial City for custody later.
Shen Hao met Ye Lansheng on the second floor. The former left prime minister was expressionless and naked, chained to a stone pillar. When he saw Shen Hao coming in, he just raised his eyes and ignored him.
Shen Hao smiled and did not feel dissatisfied. He walked up to Ye Lansheng and said with a smile: "Let me introduce myself. My name is Shen Hao. I am the commander of the Black Flag Battalion of the Xuanqing Guard. I have been assigned to investigate your case this time.
Haha, don’t want to talk? It doesn't matter, there are many people who come to Xuanqing Guard. I have only seen a few people who kept their mouths shut until they died. I can count them on one hand. Let’s try it and see how hard our former left prime minister’s bones are..."
