Security Bureau Headquarters.
Liu Changge looked at Xue Xia, Tang Buping, Pang Huan, Huo Lin and others, and said with a stern face: "Ji Gang is very resourceful, good at exploiting loopholes, sowing discord, evil-minded and ruthless, and has a very small tolerance, and he does not tolerate others. The emperor takes office It’s not a good thing for us that he is a security bureau chief.”
Huo Lin frowned slightly. He had heard of this Ji Gang himself. He was the first military officer in the Ming Dynasty. He also participated in the battle to conquer Annan and made military exploits. He was later transferred to the Northeast and was promoted repeatedly. Within a few years, he became the commander of Helan City Guards. history.
Judging from this, this person is not as bad as Liu Changge said. Are you convening everyone so nervously for discussion just to guard against Ji Gang?
Pang Huan took a sip of tea and spit out a tea leaf: "Not to mention what kind of person Ji Gang is, but if you want to enter the Security Bureau, you still need to go through the necessary procedures. According to the regulations of the Security Bureau, anyone who holds an official position in the Security Bureau, even a general flag , hundreds of households must also be thoroughly investigated to ensure that their family background is innocent, they have no criminal record, and they are loyal to the royal family."
Huo Lin nodded heavily. When he entered the security bureau, his hometown was almost thoroughly investigated. Neighbors, classmates, friends, and even the county government were specially visited.
Most of the personnel in the Security Bureau are from sergeants. It is easiest to investigate these people, including their household registration, health center, family, and the relationship between the family and the outside world. It's clear at a glance.
The investigation of Security Bureau personnel who are not sergeants is even more complicated and in-depth. Especially for the appointed official position, because they control a certain number of security bureau sergeants and have access to more information and intelligence, the senior security bureau attaches great importance to the review and investigation of these people.
When Zhu Yunwen founded the Security Bureau, he had put forward strict requirements. Even the marriages of general officers of the Security Bureau needed to be approved, such as Tang Buping and Guo Han, Pang Huan and Cong Pei'er. It was approved by Zhu Yunwen.
Now that Ji Gang is joining the Security Bureau, he was originally a governor. It is against the rules not to investigate. From this point of view, the emperor's direct transfer of Ji Gang to the Security Bureau without review by the Security Bureau violated regulations.
The emperor cannot make mistakes, so the Security Bureau must find a way to make up for this mistake.
"I will be responsible for investigating Ji Gang, but it will take four months. During this period, I hope that Ji Gang will not have access to any confidential information or any prisoners."
Pang Huan stood up and asked for tassel.
Tang Buping frowned: "There are a lot of places you need to go to investigate him. You'd better spend more time with Cong Pei'er and the children. I'll take care of this matter."
Pang Huan waved his hand: "Ji Gang is a very careful person. If he has any flaws, they will not be discovered easily. If you go to investigate, I'm worried that it will not be reliable."
Just as Tang Buping was about to retort, Liu Changge knocked on the table: "Leave this matter to Pang Huan. Tang Buping, you need to protect the emperor. As you know, the emperor is about to make new moves. You can't walk away." .”
"All right."
Tang Buping sighed.
Liu Changge looked at Pang Huan and said seriously: "Don't worry, if there is no problem with Ji Gang, the Security Bureau will entrust him with important tasks. If there is a problem with him, then this will be his death place. I will give you half a year to investigate slowly. If you want to go north or south this time, you might as well take Cong Pei'er and your children back to Shandong."
Pang Huan thought for a while and agreed: "Okay."
Huo Lin did not steal Pang Huan's job. He was currently processing various intelligence and clues from the Security Bureau. Widow Liu's line involved too many people, including two princes, five vassal kings, and many others. Ministers, even the Supervisor of Ceremonies and the Imperial College are also involved. How to eliminate the innocent and leave the suspects in these complicated situations must be done.
If you include everything indiscriminately, it will be difficult to find clues and it will easily lead to an unjust case. Huo Lin couldn't leave, so he could only stay in the capital.
Pang Huan left, and so did Huo Lin.
Tang Buping looked at Liu Changge, moved his wrist and said, "Do you mind if I do something random?"
Liu Changge held the tea bowl and said lightly: "Just don't go too far."
Ji Gang was very proud. No department was as powerful as the intelligence department. It could punish whomever it wanted and threaten whomever it wanted.
If he doesn't obey, find a reason to kill him.
If you don't give money, find a reason to kill him.
If he doesn't surrender, find a reason to kill him.
Liu Changge, Liu Changge, as the commander of the Security Bureau, he is still gentle. You should learn from Mao Xiang. Not 30,000 officials died under his sword, but 20,000.
At that time, the Jin Yiwei was so majestic that the people in the world changed their minds when they heard about it, and the officials were trembling when they saw it. Even Uncle Hou had no choice but to pay money to keep him safe. But what about the current security bureau? Officials are not afraid, and the people are not afraid. What kind of security bureau is this? It might as well be called the Cat and Dog Bureau.
Ji Gang has long been dissatisfied with the behavior of the Security Bureau. Why the White Lotus Sect and Yin soldiers are so rampant is not because the people in the Security Bureau are too stupid and incompetent. If they are ruthless and murderous, they will kill those who are disobedient and ready to attack. Anyone who is a bit suspicious should be killed, and those who should be liquidated should be liquidated. Where is their business?
Now, let me change the Security Bureau and make it a Jinyiwei again.
"Walk!"
Ji Gang suppressed his excitement and took Zhou Jie and Hu Zhi to the Security Bureau headquarters.
At the gate, two sergeants held knives to stop Ji Gang and others.
Ji Gang's face darkened, he took out the paperwork and shouted sternly: "Ji Gang, the security bureau headquarters governor, get out of the way quickly!"
A sergeant who blocked the road chuckled, but did not retract his extended hand. He just asked: "Since you are from the Security Bureau, have you read the regulations of the Security Bureau?"
"nature!"
Ji Gang said seriously.
The guard sergeants looked at each other, retreated to both sides of the door, and said nothing.
Ji Gang snorted and gave a few more warnings before leading the people inside.
Tang Buping was walking out with a document in his hand. When Ji Gang saw that it was Tang Buping, he quickly stepped forward to salute, which was completely different from his attitude toward the sergeant at the door.
"Oh, Governor Ji Zhen, since you are here, go find Commander Liu Shi."
Tang Buping glanced at it and walked over.
Seeing that Tang Buping was so indifferent and didn't even return the gift, Ji Gang couldn't help but his face darkened and he secretly hated him, but he was still respectful and prepared to salute Tang Buping away.
Tang Buping walked a few steps, suddenly stopped, turned around and looked at Ji Gang: "Envoy Ji Zhen, you should have read the regulations of the Security Bureau and understand the rules of the Security Bureau."
Ji Gang frowned: "Of course I understand."
Tang Buping nodded and shouted to Zhang Liu and Wang San, the guards at the door: "You two, get over here!"
Zhang Liu and Wang San rushed over and obeyed.
Tang Buping looked at the two men majestically and scolded: "You are old men from the Security Bureau. You are guarding the entrance to the Security Bureau headquarters. You have committed such an unforgivable mistake. Come on, drag these two people down." , whipped sixty times!" Zhang Liu and Wang San panicked.
After hearing the order, the sergeant from the Security Bureau ran over and tied up Zhang Liu and Wang San without any explanation.
Zhang Liu shouted: "Tang Tongzhi, please spare my life."
Wang San is also begging for mercy.
Ji Gang didn't know why, but seeing that this was a good opportunity to win people's hearts, he stepped forward to persuade him: "Tang Tongzhi, I think they have done their duty and made no mistakes. Why should they be punished so heavily? Sixty lashes are enough to beat people alive." Die. You might as well sell me to save face, spare them, and let them change their ways."
Tang Buping snorted coldly: "Give you face? How can a mere town governor get face? Zhang Liu, Wang San, do you two know what mistakes you have made!"
Ji Gang did not expect Tang Buping to be so domineering and unreasonable at all. In this case, it seems that they cannot work together.
Okay, Tang, just wait and see.
let's go.
Ji Gang was about to take people away, but he heard Zhang Liu shout: "We didn't watch the door carefully and let in people who shouldn't have come in."
Tang Buping sneered: "Now that you know this, I will punish you two according to the regulations, okay?"
"recognize!"
Zhang Liu and Wang San had to respond.
Tang Buping raised his voice a few times: "According to regulations, what should happen to those who enter the Security Bureau without a warrant from a Security Bureau colleague or above?"
Zhang Liu and Wang San said in unison: "He deserves to be killed."
Zhou Jie and Hu Zhi beside Ji Gang felt something was wrong, and even Ji Gang heard what it meant. Several people from the Security Bureau appeared in front of them, blocking the path of Ji Gang and others.
"Tang Tongzhi, today is the day I take office. Do you want to kill my people?"
Ji Gang turned around and looked at Tang Buping coldly.
Tang Buping walked forward, clasped his fists and said, "Don't get me wrong, Governor Ji Zhen. The regulations of the Security Bureau were determined at the beginning of their creation. What's more, these clauses are all written in the documents. You must have read them all yesterday. You I also said that I know the rules of the Security Bureau. If this is the case, then you should act according to the rules."
The corner of Ji Gang's mouth twitched. Your sister's soup is uneven. Do you know how thick the document the Security Bureau gave you yesterday was, five inches. I couldn't finish reading it in one day. I just glanced at the first few dozen pages. Anyone who cares can read them all.
Today is the time to take up a position in the Security Bureau. It is natural for Wei Feng to bring two of his confidants. Now you want to kill them. It is too bold.
"Boss, you have to cover us."
Zhou Jie and Hu Zhi became nervous and hid beside Ji Gang and begged.
Ji Gang cannot lose these two confidants. Without them, he would not be able to accomplish many things. It is really difficult to find a few trustworthy, obedient, and capable people these days.
"They are my people. If they make mistakes, I will bear them. I also ask Tang Tongzhi to show his kindness and let them leave."
Ji Gang said quite proudly.
Tang Buping smiled and patted the Xiuchundao on his waist coldly: "If you bear the responsibility, won't they have to die? The rules of the Security Bureau are iron. If anyone can't get along with iron, then try it. Security The sergeant of the bureau obeyed the order, and the envoy of Ji Zhen led the unidentified person to enter the headquarters of the Security Bureau without authorization. He was arrested and detained in the dungeon, where he was tortured and interrogated to find out his intentions. He was then reported to the emperor and executed!"
"Who dares?!"
Ji Gang was anxious and put his hand on the embroidered spring knife.
Tang Buping walked towards Ji Gang and said word by word: "This is not the Helan City Guard in the Northeast, this is the Security Bureau!"
