Chapter 18 Involvement
Because, this time, it was a woman with disheveled hair who was dragged in.Wei Dongting's expression changed slightly again and he said:
"How can there be a woman! Whose arrangement is this?"

"This seems to be the escort of the old steward of Ambassador Liang's residence. It is said that there is something unclean about him. Let us help to interrogate and pass it."

Seeing this, Guo Chongtao replied with some hesitation:
The woman was covered with scars and blood stains, she looked very pitiful, but she could vaguely see the beautiful charm of the past; however, Jiang Tian recognized her all at once.

Because she is the nanny of his former student Luoluo, and also the late wife of Ambassador Liang's house, Cui Liniang who was married to a maid; earlier, for some reason, there were many women who made trouble for "myself" .

Now that he has been reduced to such an end, Jiang Tian finds that there is no trace of pity and sympathy in his heart, and he even feels a little gloating.However, while the woman was sobbing, she was dealing with questions and answers;

"Ask her for me,"

Jiang Tian suddenly said:

"That day, who was she meeting in secret at the side door beside the flowers and stones on the left side of the backyard? And the day before yesterday, who was the one who secretly gave her something?"

However, as soon as this question came up, Cui Liniang, who was still whimpering, suddenly lost her voice; then she said with a little shortness of breath:

"This...is just an old relative of the slave family."

"...Come here to blow some autumn wind, for the sake of relief..."

"I'm just afraid of disturbing the inner courtyard, there may be obstacles, so..."

However, following her fluent explanation, Jiang Tian frowned again and said:

"Isn't she the old lady who came here as a dowry from the Junjun's mansion, and where did she come from outside?"

"It's from the slave family... after Beppu, we met again,"

Then, as expected, Cui Liniang heard the words and quickly explained again:

But just what she showed, between the fleeting surprise and hesitation, was enough for these experienced interrogators to see clues and doubts on the spot; She was sentenced again.

What happened next was a little surprising; just after everyone replaced her with a third torture instrument that was neither fatal nor obvious, and continued to torture her for a while, she yelled again at the top of her lungs:
"Nujia, Nujia... are the outsiders of Wu Desi, and it was what they passed on to me that day."

And this sudden change also made Wei Dongting, Guo Chongtao and others who were watching coldly from the turret suddenly lose their voices; how could such a woman who was clearly involved in the case involve the notorious Wu Desi? relationship.

You must know that after the street accident on the Lantern Festival, among the team that participated in the overnight arrest, there was the Marriage Officer of Wu Desi.Then think of Qinghei Langjun and others who have disappeared from the secret place of Sansefang in Lianwoduan.Suddenly Guo Chongtao was sweating coldly from behind.

Moreover, even if there is no right and wrong in the front, Wu Desi secretly sent people to contact and control, what is the meaning of the Xiguo Daxia of the First Kingdom, the people who are close to the permanent ambassadors, etc.?Once it is revealed, what kind of turmoil and incidents will it be.

However, Wei Dongting, who was the senior later, reacted faster than him; and gave instructions to others with a cold face.Then a note was passed to the interrogator, and it became the words in that mouth:

"You thief woman, why do you know those Wu Desi people with your white teeth?"

However, after the woman heard this sentence, she showed an unimaginably penetrating expression, and suddenly broke away frantically, hit her head on the ground suddenly, and passed out on the spot after a few blows.For a while, the scene became chaotic...

However, at this time, Murong Wu, the jailer in black who was guarding behind the scenes, suddenly broke the silence and asked:
"What do you think about this matter?"

"I?"

Jiang Tian was taken aback for a moment, then organized his words and replied:

"I think, what can touch her so much, and she desperately maintains it; it's either the relationship between flesh and blood, or the adulterous and passionate lover."

"Perhaps, you are right."

Murong Wu looked at the woman being carried out.

And above the turret.

"You know, the teacher has already interrogated him back and forth."

Wei Dongting sighed again:

"But apart from a lot of dirty things, it has nothing to do with the incidents of Shangyuanye. Sure enough, the key to the matter still has to fall on this person."

Then, after Wei Dongting, who was patrolling the city seemingly peacefully, came out of the prison, his original expression of being in control of the city mansion changed drastically; It actually involves Wu Desi's relationship.

To say that these censors of the imperial court known as "mad dogs" have dealt with the most in the past, these are the big and small marriage officials of Wu Desi, and their pawns; .

But I also understand that when it comes to Wu Desi, there is nothing that is not easy and simple; it is easy to catch some handles and minor problems in daily life, but it is even more difficult to go deeper up.

Because Wu Desi has its own corresponding origin, which can be traced back to the Anshi Rebellion at the earliest.The current Emperor Suzong ascended the throne in Pingliang, and opened the Grand Marshal's Mansion, thinking that he would be in charge of the military aircraft and military affairs to restore the two capitals of the Central Plains;

At that time, in order to supervise the Chinese and foreign armies and ministers, Suzong appointed Li Fuguo, the favored internal affairs supervisor, as the commander-in-chief of the commander-in-chief of the world's soldiers and horses.In addition, an inspection hall was set up, with many minions and pawns, rampantly inspecting the ground in the two capitals and the northern capital.

Later, due to the change of seizing the palace caused by Suzong's critical illness, Empress Zhang died in front of the imperial couch; the heirs of Cao Wangxi and Guo Guo, who were cited as foreign aid, also violated the ban and were defeated; His plot was also thwarted by Liang Gong and Long Wu, Jin Wu and other northern and southern Ya Jianrui.

The Procuratorial Office, which was once famous for a short time, has since become a thing of the past.But only a few years later, during the Taixing period when the new emperor was in power, the new policy of reforming the bad and eliminating the old was carried out boldly, which led to many disturbances and incidents;
Even with many old family backgrounds, a rebel party formed in Luoyang and invaded the eastern capital, disturbing the Taixing Emperor who was recuperating at the time; and once fell into a precarious situation.

Although in the end, it was inevitably wiped out and wiped out by the new heroes headed by Liang Gong and the soldiers and horses of the local kings from all walks of life.However, Emperor Taixing, who had learned from the painful experience, and with the support of Guo, Li and other meritorious officials, pushed forward several major-related reforms against all opinions.

The first is to abolish the left and right Habayashi Army controlled by the clan's relatives among the six armies of the Beiya, which has been the practice followed by grandparents and grandchildren since the founding of the country; and to add and expand the organizational system of Habayashi Orphans (army orphans adopted by the palace);
Secondly, it is the privy signer acted by the eunuch, who is often on duty in the Privy Council and believes that the exchange of military and state secrets is important.Moreover, while abolishing the many military observer systems of the previous generation, the three-official dispatch system of bachelors, censors, and ministers was implemented in the expeditionary army and the Yanbian Economic Strategy and Governor's Office.

In the end, at the same time as the Ministry of Internal Affairs was completely abolished, the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Ministry of Public Affairs were completely abolished; in the name of the five workshops belonging to the Dianzhong Province, the Carving Workshop, the Falcon Workshop, the Harrier Workshop, the Eagle Workshop, the Dog Workshop, etc. The remaining manpower was transferred to the spies and eyeliners under the jurisdiction of the flying dragon envoy.

Of course, as the final result of the game between the generals and ministers of the outer dynasty and the emperor; these five-fang children who were brought up by the eunuchs of the inner court can only live on the ground of the two capitals and the sixteen (direct) government. Acting, once out of bounds will naturally lose the guarantee of corresponding identity.

It's just that after these years of gradual evolution, Wufang Xiao'er gradually became Xunchengsi, Xunchengsi became Jingshansi, and Jingshansi finally changed to the name of Wu Desi.

During this process of change, it was Wufang Xiaoer, who was the eyeliner of the Ouchi, who had no choice but to gradually fade away his tentacles and influence under the combined forces of the ruling and opposition forces to repel and squeeze, and even secretly design and attack him. result of shrinkage.

Therefore, at present, Wu Desi's influence has been compressed to a few government offices in the north except the two capitals; but under the long-term struggle between light and dark and high pressure, it has also formed a cohesion and action that cannot be underestimated, as well as a huge Eyeliners and spies.

It is also because of this that Wu Desi can be said to be one of the few appearances and presences of the big inner city that is used to rule by arches.

Then Wei Dongting sighed slightly again, obviously this junior student of his own had other ideas or even big plans, and seemed to want to get something out of it.But he was only ordered to come over to help out for a while, just to boost his momentum.

Although Wei Dongting was born in the Wei family of Weifang, he could barely be regarded as one of the three leading ten-role generals under the Liang Gong family, one of the five long histories, and the descendants of Wei Fangjin and Wei Xuangong, the Marquis of Luyi; up.

Even if he had the protection of his ancestors, there was absolutely no reason or need for him to wade directly into this muddy water.Therefore, Wei Dongting decided to take a step back and leave the problem to those who are really capable of doing something.
