In the bloody years, countless grievances lingered, and the condensed violence, killing, revenge, ambition, and madness were beating in the hearts, and the blood flowed into the atria and was pumped one by one. The blood vessels appear on the face like veins, and the eyes stand out like bloodshot eyes.
Mao Rui stared with red eyes, clenched his fists and wanted to smash the world. The storyteller behind him won the applause of the whole hall, the waiter serving tea stood in the distance waiting to greet him, and the pedestrians passing downstairs walked in a hurry.
Zhou Mingshi raised his hand to support the curtain hat and said in a cold voice: "Do you think it is appropriate for us to attack a child?"
Mao Rui took a sip and said, "You worry about this. How many people died during the Hongwu Dynasty and how many children there were? Do you think the court did not kill children? Do you think those children who lost their parents had a good end? Minister Zhou, don't Forgot, we must never be merciful in anything we do!"
The curtain moved slightly, and Zhou Mi took out a treasure note and put it on the table. He stood up and said, "Wang Zhonghe has been arrested. It is no longer safe for you. It is best to leave the capital as soon as possible."
Mao Rui picked up the wine glass and drank it, not caring: "What about Wang Zhonghe? He doesn't know our great cause at all. What can he do with just my name? As long as I use other photos to walk around, no one will can find me."
Zhou Mishi looked at Mao Rui and said nothing. Instead, he walked to the side compartment, closed the door, and never came out.
Mao Rui kept waiting, but Zhou Mi didn't use it for a long time. Just as he was about to get up, he suddenly felt cramps in his abdomen. He was covered in cold sweat, gritted his teeth, and fell to the ground, twitching continuously.
The storyteller was telling a wonderful story, but not many people saw this scene. On the other hand, people drinking tea and drinking on the side saw it and quickly called the waiter. When the waiter saw this, Mao Rui was already dead before he could find someone to send him to the hospital.
From the time he was poisoned to the time he died, he didn't say a word.
Upstairs opposite the small teahouse, a window slowly closed, and the curtain and hat were taken off, revealing a resolute and indifferent face. After rubbing his hands, the resoluteness dissipated, the indifference disappeared, and it became gentle and feminine.
"Assassinate Zhu Wenkui?"
The voice was soft and hesitant.
In broad daylight, someone died while drinking wine and tea, which naturally attracted the attention of the governor of Yingtian Mansion. However, the government officials arrived in front of him and before they could survey the scene, the people from the security bureau arrived.
Liu Changge looked at the dead Mao Rui, took out a portrait from his arms, compared it, and said to Tang Buping on the side: "It's Mao Rui. It seems that someone is cleaning the tail."
Tang Buping bent down to inspect Mao Rui's body, then picked up the wine glass and smelled it, then stood up and looked at Liu Changge: "The poison of Gelsemium must be used in a lot, there should be someone here."
Liu Changge nodded solemnly and called for a waiter to inquire. He learned that a faceless man wearing a curtain hat had a drink with the deceased here. As for what the two said, he did not hear clearly.
"check!"
Liu Changge was a little angry.
Mao Rui died, not outside the capital, but within the capital. This was a naked declaration of war against the Security Bureau!
Liu Changge knew very well that someone was telling the Security Bureau through killing people that you were not pursuing Mao Rui. Now that I have killed him, how can you still investigate?
What is exposed is what is abandoned.
This group of people are vicious and vicious, hiding in the dark like poisonous snakes. Now, they are in the capital!
Half a day later, all the forces of the Capital Security Bureau were mobilized, and the local gangsters and market bullies were the first to suffer misfortune. But no matter how the security bureau investigated and dug deep, they could not find the person who killed Mao Rui.
There is too little information. He is about seven feet tall, thin, and wears a white curtain hat. There is only this pitiful information. If you ask anyone, you can't get any results.
However, the Security Bureau was not without gains. They found five identity cards on Mao Rui, belonging to Fujian, Jiangxi, Guangxi, Southern Zhili, and Northern Zhili.
The names on the photo posts are different, but the portraits in Jian's paintings are all Mao Rui.
In the Ming Dynasty, if you want to apply for it, whether it is in the household department of the capital, or in other places, or in various prefectures and counties, you need the joint signature of other people. For example, if a family handles the application collectively, the joint name should be included and written on the back.
If there is only one person left in the family, a neighbor or other person needs to co-sign.
This kind of joint name is similar to a guarantee, and is an extension of "Lianying".
Under each of Mao Rui's photos, there are co-signs. Whether these people are related to ancient and modern times, and whether they have resentment towards the court still requires in-depth investigation.
In ancient times, there was no computer database and it was impossible to control a person who had only one photo ID. Although the imperial court is very strict in controlling population and household registration, and the procedures for ordinary people to reissue their ID cards are quite complicated and require investigation and verification, there are always some people who have special means, such as going through the back door.
The headquarters of the Security Bureau was lit up all night, and it was still busy despite the cold winter.
Liu Changge and Tang not met, and they were in trouble. No new clues could be found, and the investigation reached a deadlock.
Huo Lin joined in the intelligence analysis, looking back and forth at the five photo IDs, picking up a magnifying glass to look carefully at them from time to time.
Liu Changge sighed: "Such a huge force but no one can be found!"
Tang Buping looked at Liu Changge: "The matter on Da Liuqiu Island should have been settled. Pang Huan should be on his way back, right?"
Huo Lin frowned slightly: "Pang Huan, the legendary bloody-handed Yama, is he on the Da Liuqiu Island?"
Liu Changge took out a confidential document and handed it to Huo Lin: "You are now an important person in the Security Bureau and have the authority to know some things. But you have to remember that confidential matters are never allowed to be leaked."
After Huo Lin took it over, the document recorded that Pang Huan and Gu Yun used the pseudonyms Chen Erbao and Chen Dabao to lurk around Chen Zuyi. He couldn't help but admire him: "Heroes!"
The identities of Pang Huan and Gu Yun no longer need to be kept secret at the highest level as the navy is ordered to go to Liuqiu Island. After they cooperate with the navy to complete the mission, they will return to the capital and end their long dormant career.
Huo Lin had heard that Pang Huan was one of the few smart people in the security bureau, but his methods were ruthless and he killed without blinking an eye, so he was known as the Bloody-Handed Yama.
"There is no need to trouble Pang Huan when investigating Mao Rui and his ancient and modern accomplices."
Huo Lin handed the document to Liu Changge.
Liu Changge looked at Huo Lin in surprise and asked, "Is there something you can do?"
Huo Lin pointed to the photo IDs on the table and said seriously: "These five photo IDs all belong to Mao Rui, but if you carefully observe the time when the photo IDs were processed and see their scratches, wear and bumps, you can tell We came to the conclusion that Mao Rui has been traveling around. In order not to attract local attention, he prefers to use local photos."
Liu Changge and Tang Buping listened carefully.
Zhao Shen Tie is an important token for entering the city. Many city gates and checkpoints will check the Zhao Shen Tie. If the person is from the province where the person is staying, the inspection at the city gate will be much easier, and he will be let go with a wave of his hand. However, if the person is from out of town, he needs to carefully check, interrogate and record it in the book.
These methods were originally used to deal with businessmen and have been retained.
Huo Lin picked up a photo ID and said seriously: "Look, the two photo IDs from Fujian and Guangxi have been used very frequently and have been worn to a certain extent, indicating that he has been active in these two provinces. The one who suffered the most serious wear and tear was Nanzhili. Obviously, he had been in or near the capital for a long time."
Liu Changge felt a little depressed.
Mao Rui has been active in South Zhili for a long time, but the Security Bureau has never discovered his existence. You must know that this is where the Security Bureau's power is most concentrated. To be able to hide one's identity under the sun requires not only courage, but also the help and cooperation of others to create a new identity.
Needless to say, there must be people from them among the capital.
Huo Lin picked up a photo ID from Guangxi and said doubtfully: "This photo ID is a bit strange. It was processed in January of the sixth year of Jianwen. It can be said to be the earliest photo ID, but Mao Rui has very few Use this photo post."
Tang Buping realized something: "You mean, in January of the sixth year of Jianwen, the Maorui people were in Jiangxi, or that Jiangxi was his hiding place?"
Huo Lin handed Jiangxi's photo post to Tang Buping and nodded seriously: "If I guessed correctly, Mao Rui's photo post has exposed his location. It's just because he changed it."
His name was Mao Fu, and he thought he was safe, so he left this photo. I suggest that the Security Bureau follow the location of this photo ID to check. "
"Where in Jiangxi?"
Liu Changge asked.
Tang Buping looked at the location carefully, couldn't help but look a little ugly, and said in a deep voice: "Ji'an!"
Liu Changge frowned!
Ji'an, why did Mao Rui choose to be here? Is it because someone provided him with shelter, or is it because of something else?
Many people in the imperial court were from Ji'an, such as Xie Jin and Yang Shiqi, and these two people were close ministers of Zhu Yunwen, the current cabinet minister.
"This matter should have nothing to do with the cabinet. They are not involved in such a dirty thing."
Huo Lin said with certainty.
Xie Jin knew Zhu Yunwen's ability and wisdom, and he was a famous person. What is ancient and modern? All this guy could bring to Xie Jin was the danger of beheading. Considering Jie Jin's cautious temperament and current status, it was absolutely impossible. Jump into the pit.
Yang Shiqi is even more impossible. This man is loyal, benevolent and filial. He was promoted and trained by Zhu Yunqi. A scholar will die for his confidant. Yang Shiqi is a man who knows his kindness. When he entered the cabinet, he never showed off, and he was serious and low-key in his work. This was the characteristic of the Manchu Dynasty. Everyone knows this, not to mention that Yang Shiqi doesn't have any property in Jiangxi. Even though Yang Shiqi is over forty, he is quite old. His wife is just pregnant and has no descendants yet.
However, the location of Ji'an is indeed very important. It is a place where culture and education are popular. If some people are arranged there in ancient and modern times, it is easy to sneak into the imperial court through the imperial examination. This is extremely dangerous for Zhu Yunwen and even the entire Ming Dynasty.
Huo Lin looked at Liu Changge and Tang Buping: "Jiangxi needs to be investigated, but the most important thing to pay attention to is not Jiangxi, but Beizhili."
Liu Changge was a little confused.
Huo Lin took out the last photo ID, held it between his fingers, and said seriously: "The photo ID from Beizhili was in September of the seventh year of Jianwen!"
September? !
Liu Changge and Tang Buping were a little horrified. This time point shows that Mao Rui went to Beizhili two months ago!
What was he doing in Beizhili?
What is there in Beizhili that deserves the attention of people from ancient times to modern times?
Tang Buping looked a little pale: "There are two things that are the most important things for the Security Bureau in Beizhili. The first thing is to ensure that the construction of the new city goes smoothly!"
The flesh on Liu Changge's cheeks kept shaking, and he slapped the table: "They are really lawless!"
Huo Lin knew that the second thing was to ensure Zhu Wenkui's absolute safety.
After the New Year, Zhu Wenkui will be ten years old. Although he is not old, he has shown responsibility and courage. He left the comfortable capital and stayed in Peiping, which was undergoing major construction projects.
There are many craftsmen there, many people recruited, many officials, and many merchants. Countless people gathered there, and it was difficult to identify their identities. Once Zhu Wenkui was in danger, Zhu Yunwen would go crazy!
