A certain person is the Heavenly Killer Li Gui.

Chapter 93: When you go out, your identity is given by yourself (pre-update for 600 monthly passes)

Li Gui sat on his horse arrogantly and shouted:

"A certain person is a ruler from Shandong who came to Beijing on official business. I heard that a traitor dared to assassinate Your Majesty, so I came here to perform meritorious service!"

"That treacherous and unscrupulous person must not have been a sudden act. I'm afraid he had already planned it. He has been secretly checking the information for an unknown period of time. It is absolutely impossible for him to be alone. Someone is instigating him behind the scenes."

"This kind of person, I'm afraid he has an extraordinary status, and there are countless dens in the city, so it is impossible to hide him in a private house."

"You might as well pick that big family to check. Isn't it better than bumping into this house?"

There is actually a reason why Li Gui dared to cheat so blatantly and pretend to be an official.

Since ancient times, the management of the place of origin of Chinese people has been very strict. When traveling, you need to have an "identity document", such as tiger charms, rabbit charms, fish charms, turtle charms, dragon charms, Linfu, tooth badges, waist badges... everything.

The most stringent one is the "photo sticker" invented by Shang Yang of the Qin Dynasty. It is a polished bamboo board with the holder's headshot and place of birth information engraved on it. It is issued by the government and everyone in the Qin State has it.

At that time, accommodation had to show a "photo ID" to the landlord, otherwise no one would dare to take the person in, lest they commit the crime of harboring and interfering with each other.

Later, he committed suicide. After the death of Qin Xiaogong, Shang Yang was persecuted by King Qin Huiwen. When he fled, because he did not have a "photograph", no one from the landlord dared to stay overnight, so he had no choice but to rebel, but failed and was killed.

However, later this situation changed and became looser, or the technology retreated.

As liberal arts became the dominant force, gradually fewer and fewer painters were able to draw clear and accurate portraits, and painters began to draw and express their intentions, becoming more and more artistic.

As we all know, art is about feeling and cannot be precise, otherwise it will appear to be craftsmanship.

Even Tang Bohu's erotic pictures look like nothing more than a bunch of ugly ghosts in the eyes of people who don't know how to appreciate them.

This can be seen from the image of Li Gui on the wanted notice in Yishui County.

So the "photographs" were abolished and replaced by various brands.

It's easy to say that tiger charms are a pair. If they match, they are genuine. As long as they are properly kept and not leaked to outsiders, they can be anti-counterfeiting.

But other fish charms, waist badges, etc., almost have no anti-counterfeiting effect and can be easily counterfeited.

In order to prevent counterfeiting, in the Tang Dynasty, in addition to fish charms, officials were also given fish bags. The two were matched, and they could barely play an anti-counterfeiting role similar to the principle of tiger charms.

However, there were some changes in the Song Dynasty.

In the Song Dynasty, commerce was developed, and the too strict household registration system was not conducive to merchants' travel, so control was relaxed.

In the Song Dynasty, the fish talisman was abolished and only the fish bag was retained. However, after several adjustments, the fish bag became a status symbol exclusively for civil servants. Military generals were not qualified to wear fish bags.

So what do military commanders use to prove their identity?
That's the waist card.

A sign with official title, name and other information written on it, and that's it.

Please note that there is no description of the human body or the like, so it is of little use and can only be used as a pass.

Official waist badges are made in pairs by the government. One is kept on file to verify identity, and the other is given to the official to carry. It is taken back after being dismissed or becomes an official, and replaced after being transferred.

The waistbands of ordinary merchants are often made by guilds, and are also issued by local governments. It depends on each situation and cannot be generalized.

In other words, it is very easy to pretend to be a military attache with a fake waist badge. Unless you go to the Ministry of War to verify the authenticity of the waist badge, others will not be able to recognize it.

What's more, Li Gui's waistband is still genuine.

In Yishui, he killed countless generals and selected a commander named Li. He suddenly became a high official named Li.

Look, how easy it is to become a military attache. Is it still necessary to recruit someone?
So Tang Seng's fake father has been a county magistrate for so many years and no one has ever found out. What does this mean to Li Gui?
Therefore, when you go out, your identity is given by yourself. How bold the person is, how big the official is.

The reason why he behaves as he pleases, is unscrupulous, and makes trouble everywhere is because it is certain that no one will be able to accurately identify his identity these days.

Not to mention just assassinating the emperor, but actually killing the faint king, he was also confident that the court would not be able to catch him!
It is said that there is a lot of trouble all over the city, but in this feudal era where there are no cameras and no Chaoyang people, if you want to accurately catch a thief, it is not much different from finding a needle in a haystack.

Not to mention anything else, just a problem of execution can make it difficult for an official to die.

These days, most of the officers and soldiers in the imperial army have never read a book, and they only know a few words in Dingtian. No matter how good the rules and regulations are, if they can implement [-]% or [-]% of them, it will be because of the mercy of their ancestors!
In movies and TV dramas, the protagonist is always aware of everything. After solving the case in a few moments, he can then give orders to catch the culprit.

This kind of thing is limited to remote places with little traffic in the countryside. If it is a large city like Bianliang, where tens of thousands of people come and go every day, the most likely thing is that you finally solved the case after spending two or three days. , and then found that the thief had already run out of Tokyo city.

This is also an important reason why after Song Huizong was assassinated, the four gates were immediately closed and no one was allowed to enter and exit freely.And people are only not allowed to enter and exit "freely", which means that they can still enter and exit after inspection. Otherwise, the daily consumption of food and water in this city is astronomical, and there is really no way to delay it.

Even so, the city cannot be blocked for too long, otherwise the merchants will go crazy and the impact on the city's business will be too great.

Therefore, as long as no culprits were caught in the first few days of closing the city, the ministers in the court would urge the emperor to open the city gates.

As for whether the emperor is willing or not, the worst he can do is throw out the prefect of Kaifeng Prefecture and let the emperor vent his anger by beating, scolding and dismissing him from office.

Li Gui doesn't need to keep doing things under this fake identity. He only needs to make a time difference and escape after rescuing his second uncle.

Sure enough, the imperial guards who searched only took a few glances at Li Gui and others before believing his words.

There is no way, this war horse is really rare in the Song Dynasty. It is basically exclusive to military commanders. It must be a military commander with a good background, and ordinary military commanders do not have it.

Can't afford it, can't afford it.

Coupled with the pair of huge axes, it is full of persuasion.

One of the leading teams will come over and bow.

"If a general wants to make meritorious deeds, he may wish to report to the Ministry of War and let the Ministry of War make arrangements."

"We were ordered to search house to house here, but we didn't dare to go anywhere."

Li Gui smiled and said:

"If someone goes to the Ministry of War, I'm afraid he will be sent out of the capital. Where will he have the chance to make meritorious service?"

"Never mind!"

"You and others who only care about themselves don't need to pay attention to a certain family."

"I and a few others will follow you. If there is a strongman who attacks you, just call me and someone will come to help."

The team general thanked Li Gui and ignored him. After bypassing a few people, they continued their investigation.

Li Gui led a few people and followed them on horseback with a smile. They passed through obstacles and obstacles along the way, and no one came to stop them.

Every time he saw someone new, Li Gui would go over with a smile, show them his badge, and chat with them to make him look familiar.

Seeing him act so grandly, others would not doubt him, and no one would know that he was the assassin who was going to be captured.

If there was anyone who dared to stab the Forbidden Army and wanted to resist or escape, Li Gui would rush after him, one by one with his axe.

With a general like Li Gui who was "enthusiastic to help others" following him, the ordinary Imperial Guards certainly felt a sense of security and could not help but be a little polite to Li Gui.

Li Gui just followed the Forbidden Army and wandered around the city for a whole day. While he was familiar with the streets of Beijing, he also became familiar with many of the young Forbidden Army officers who led the search team.

When it was time for dinner, he generously ordered a banquet and had hot meals and dishes delivered to all the friends he had just met.

In just one day, the reputation of Shandong hero Li Tongzhi as a man of justice and wealth had spread throughout the Forbidden Army.

The most obvious feature is a pair of wheel-sized axes, and all members ride horses.

There was even a thoughtful person who was good at human affairs. After he was on duty, he came to see him for a drink, to make friends, and to help the officialdom.

Li Gui refused to refuse anyone who came, and after a few glasses of wine, he put his arms around everyone, calling them brothers, and having a heated fight.

From then on, there was a huge blind spot in Li Gui's so-called search. No matter how many raids were carried out, the murderer could not be caught.

The next day, when Li Gui went out to the streets again, he saw the unfamiliar leader of the Forbidden Army and was affectionately called "Master Li".

Li Gui also gave the gold and silver to Zen Master Zhiqing, pretending that it was from home, and asked him to pull the strings and invite Captain Gao to come here to meet him.

When Zen Master Zhiqing saw Yinzi, he was immediately motivated and began to think about how to arrange it.

　The number of monthly tickets has not yet reached 600, but it is not a big problem, so I will add more in advance.
