Since the female prison was far away from the office, and Takeda Mayumi and others immediately closed the door after entering the female prison, the police officer in charge of the night watch did not know that something had happened in the female prison. He saw the three people climbing up to the room and running over the walls. Going west, Changsheng had no choice but to cheer up and shout, "Someone broke into the prison at night. The prison robber has gone west. Go and chase him."
After shouting, he wanted to wake up Yang Shuyun. Unexpectedly, Yang Shuyun, who had fainted from fright, opened his eyes on his own. Before the night watchman heard the sound and arrived, he stood up and thanked Changsheng repeatedly.
"Mr. Yang's words are serious, have you ever been injured?" Changsheng asked casually.
"It's not a problem, it's not a problem," Yang Shuyun patted the dust on his body, "Fortunately, it was just a false alarm."
While the two were talking, several police officers rushed over from a distance. Before Yang Shuyun could speak, Changsheng raised his hand and pointed to the west, "Someone broke into the prison just now and tried to rob the prison. Fortunately, Mr. Yang was not afraid of danger and dealt with it appropriately, so that they did not succeed." , there are three people who broke into the prison, and they have gone west at this time, you hurry up and chase them!"
Although Changsheng had a first-class official position, he was not an official of Dali Temple. The police officer who arrived did not immediately accept the order, but looked at Yang Shuyun with a pleading look, waiting for his order.
Yang Shuyun had been kidnapped by the prison robbers before, which was a very shameful thing. He was secretly upset, but he heard that Changsheng did not mention this matter in his words. He knew that Changsheng was determined to protect his face. After seeing Changsheng for a few words, he The policeman did not obey, so he urgently urged, "Master Li has given the order, why are you still standing there, go and chase him."
Several Dali Temple police officers heard this and nodded in response, calling on their colleagues nearby to catch up to the west.
"Master Yang, the three people who broke in seemed to be here for the envoy to the Tang Dynasty." Changsheng said casually. Yang Shuyun may not have noticed that Takeda Mayumi took away a hairpin, but he definitely saw Mayumi Takeda slashing at the cell where the envoy to the Tang Dynasty was staying. Even if he didn't say anything about the lock, Yang Shuyun could guess that Takeda Mayumi and others were here to send the envoy to the Tang Dynasty.
"What Mr. Li said is absolutely true," Yang Shuyun nodded and said, "The three people who came are all Japanese."
"Fortunately, it was just a false alarm. They intended to rob the prison but failed." Changsheng said.
Yang Shuyun lowered his voice, "Master Li doesn't know something. The purpose of their trip is not to rob the prison."
Changsheng was shocked when he heard this. Could it be that Yang Shuyun also noticed that someone secretly gave a hairpin to Takeda Mayumi? However, this possibility is not very likely, because there are only two oil lamps in the felon prison area, and the light is very dim. Yang Shuyun has no spiritual skills, so he should not be able to see at night.
Just as he was about to ask a question, several more detectives came over from a distance. Yang Shuyun pointed at the prison and shouted an order, ordering the few detectives to go in and check on the female detectives guarding the female prison.
When the few detectives ran into the dungeon, Changsheng asked in a low voice, "Master Yang, you mean that they didn't want to rescue those envoys sent to Tang Dynasty."
"Yes." Yang Shuyun nodded.
"If they weren't trying to save people, why did they break into the prison at night?" Changsheng asked.
"They are not here to save people, but to get a map." Yang Shuyun said.
"Map? What map?" Changsheng was not pretending to be confused this time, but he was really confused.
"I don't know about that," Yang Shuyun shook his head and said, "Do you still remember what the Japanese ronin said when he urged the woman traveling with him earlier? What he said was, 'The map is in Photon's hand, go find her quickly.' "
"Master Yang, can you understand Japanese?" Changsheng was very surprised.
Yang Shuyun nodded, "Before I took charge of Dali Temple, I served in the Ministry of Rites for many years and was fluent in foreign languages."
"Master Yang, you mean they have taken away the map?" Changsheng asked knowingly. At this time, he had already guessed that the so-called map was hidden in the hairpin.
The two had dealt with each other before. After Yang Shuyun was captured this time, Changsheng became very nervous and put his safety first. Afterwards, he tried his best to save his face. Yang Shuyun became very close to him. , said in a low voice, "They must have succeeded. In order to prevent the private possession of escape tools, prisoners in Dali Temple will be strictly searched before being put into the prison. Some small items may be brought in secretly, and larger items will be searched." Come out, in my opinion, the map should be very small, and the female prisoner can throw it out through the fence."
"Oh, that's it," Changsheng nodded and said again, "In my opinion, it's better not to make this matter public. After all, the prisoner didn't escape, and there's no need to make matters worse."
"What Mr. Li said is absolutely true," Yang Shuyun said, "Thankfully Mr. Li is here today. Otherwise, I'm afraid it would be difficult for me to survive."
"Ashamed, ashamed," Changsheng waved his hand and said, "If I hadn't been curious about the appearance of Japanese women, you wouldn't have come with me to a place like this. It's a sin to cause Mr. Yang a false alarm."
While the two were talking, they walked towards the Yamen Office on the south side. On the way, they met Yu Yi and others who came after hearing the news. Yu Yi had also heard the noise earlier, but this was Dali Temple, and she had been transferred. When we arrived at the Yushitai, it was inconvenient to wander alone without the company of Dali Temple police officers.
It was already the third watch. After returning to the Yamen, Chang Sheng and Yu Yi said goodbye and left.
On their way back to Yushitai, they could still see Dali Temple officials hunting for robbers all along the street. However, they were just pretending. After all, the appearance of Japanese and Han people was no different. As long as they changed their night clothes, they would be fine. They met them face to face, and the official could not recognize them.
Yu Yi did not ride a horse on this trip, so Changsheng walked back with her, and Mr. Hei followed behind.
Previously, Changsheng had handed over the task of supervising local officials to Yu Yi. On the way, the two of them talked about the performance of the inspection envoys sent to various places, and when the police officers from Yushitai or Dali Temple would be dispatched. Go to the place and ask the guilty person.
Because there were too many people sent out for inspection, there were thousands of clues, and the case was complicated. Moreover, the Ministry of Household Affairs and the Yushitai were both important bureaucracies. Changsheng had two jobs. It was because of his photographic memory that he had a photographic memory. It was impossible for him to remember all the specific circumstances of the inspection, and he did not need to remember them all. As the chief officer, he did not need to do anything specific. He only needed to make requests for handling the case and determine the scale of law enforcement.
Regarding the rectification of local officials, Changsheng also has very clear ideas. One is to be as quick as possible, and the other is to be as ruthless as possible. He was ordered to do something in a crisis, and his job was to offend people. The faster this inspection, the better, and the more ruthless the punishment will be. The better, but it is not just about speed and ruthlessness. If it is too fast, there may be wrongful convictions and unjust cases. If the case is handled too ruthlessly, it will basically be killed wherever it goes. Officials above the seventh rank do not have more than one corruption. There are almost none with a hundred taels of silver.
Returning to the censor's desk, Master Hei opened the door and walked into the west wing. Changsheng returned to the main room and lay on the bed. He had the habit of sorting out his thoughts before going to bed. This time, he was thinking about Mayumi Takeda's prison robbery.
He didn't know what kind of map Takeda Mayumi took, but one thing he was sure of was that this map was very important to the envoys sent to the Tang Dynasty. To be precise, it was very important to Japan.
If the captured envoy to the Tang Dynasty was more important than the map, then Takeda Mayumi and others would try to save people. However, they did not rescue the captured companions, but only took away the map. This means that the map was more important than the captured envoy to the Tang Dynasty. More important, and the only thing more important than the captured envoy to the Tang Dynasty was the gain or loss of the country's interests.
Thinking of the Japanese pirates' repeated border incursions, and his master Luo Yangzi's negative comments about the Japanese, Chang Sheng regretted letting Takeda Mayumi take away the map. What if the map marked the situation of the garrison in various parts of the Tang Dynasty? Let the tiger return to the mountain and help Zhou to do evil.
But on second thought, this situation should not happen, because the master once severely admonished Takeda Mayumi before his death, and Takeda Mayumi herself was different from those ungrateful envoys who repaid kindness with revenge. She had gratitude and admiration for the Tang Dynasty. Yes, I will definitely not do anything harmful to the Tang Dynasty.
I was very tired during the day, and after thinking for a while, my consciousness began to blur, and I finally fell asleep.
When he got up early the next day, after opening the door, Da Tou brought him hot water for making tea and washing his face as usual. Chang Sheng scolded Da Tou a few times as usual. He would blame Du Tou a few times every time, but this did not affect Da Tou to come and help him get up every morning.
While Changsheng was washing up, Datou briefly explained to him some of the circumstances surrounding the seizure of Anxiang Tower. As of yesterday's update, more than eight million taels of silver had been confiscated and put into the treasury.
Eight million taels is not a small amount. Although it is still a drop in the bucket for the huge financial gap, the Ministry of Household Affairs at least has cash at its disposal. This money will not be used for the time being and reserved for emergencies.
Yang Kai went to court as usual. Yu Yi drank a lot of wine last night and did not go with Yang Kai. Shi Xuanming was meditating in the room and chanting sutras. Chang Sheng took the time to talk to him for a while.
Although Shi Xuanming also spent a lot of money at Anxiang Tower, his mentality was completely different from that of other guests. Others were impulsive, vain, greedy and lustful, while he was compassionate and had little experience in the world, and his sympathy was taken advantage of.
Changsheng did not reason with Shi Xuanming because he was not sure whether the truth he thought was correct was correct. He did not force others to accept and recognize his ideas. He just chatted casually with Shi Xuanming.
Shi Xuanming was in a very low mood, and his longevity was mainly about comfort. Shi Xuanming had been practicing martial arts in the Shaolin Temple in his early years, and he had not been around the world for a long time. Moreover, he was indeed compassionate and compassionate. In the eyes of good people, everyone is a good person. In the eyes of good people, everyone is a good person. In the eyes of bad people, everyone is a bad person.
Shi Xuanming appreciated Chang Sheng's relief, but he didn't buy it. He only said that what Chang Sheng said did make sense, but Chang Sheng ignored a very important point, that is, his actions seemed to be without selfish motives, but in fact they still had some. Yes, the so-called selfishness does not necessarily mean possessing something for yourself. If you don’t want to possess it yourself, you don’t want others to possess it either. This is also selfish.
Shi Xuanming's words made Changsheng look at him with admiration. Shi Xuanming dared to self-reflect and face up to his mistakes. This is something that most people cannot do. Ordinary people try their best to find excuses and reasons for what they do. .
If Shi Xuanming has such a realm, he will definitely become a great monk in the future...
