Jin Yiwei is on duty, signing Fengshen Legs at the beginning

The next morning.

After Huang Shaojie came to the Jinyiwei Yamen and signed in, Niu Ren took him to the lobby of the Sanwei Office.

At this time, the three bannermen and dozens of captains from the three guards were all present, and they were all talking about it.

“Alas, General Hu Qi died yesterday. I don’t know who will be the general flag of our three guards.”

“Should one be promoted from among the three Xiaoqi-sama from our third guard station?”

“That’s not necessarily the case. Maybe it’s hard to tell if someone is transferred from another place.”

Although the three small flags didn’t say anything, they all expected to be promoted to the chief flag.

At this time, seeing Niu Ren and Huang Shaojie coming in, the three Xiaoqi couldn’t help but feel a chill in their hearts.

Everyone stopped talking and bowed to Niu Ren:

“See Ushi Senhu!”

“No gift.”

Niu Ren nodded slightly, and then announced directly:

“Starting from today, Huang Shaojie will temporarily serve as the general commander of the Third Guard Station. You all must obey his orders. Do you understand?”

Everyone was stunned for a moment, but they immediately raised their hands and said, “Understood.”

The three Xiaoqi couldn’t help but feel a little disappointed in their hearts, but they were still convinced that Huang Shaojie was appointed as the chief flag of the three guards.

Although they were not in the same health center before, they had already heard about Huang Shaojie’s deeds of solving several cases in succession and his martial arts skills.

Especially this tax bank robbery case, everyone in Jinyiwei knew about it, and it was basically Huang Shaojie who found out about it.

After making such a great contribution, it seems reasonable to promote him from a small banner to a general banner.

“See Mr. Huang.”

After Niu Ren left, a Xiaoqi took the lead and bowed to Huang Shaojie and said that he was a smart man. Huang Shaojie was now their immediate boss, so naturally he had to behave better first.

The other two Xiaoqi also quickly bowed their hands and said, “See Mr. Huang.”

The remaining dozens of captains also bowed their hands in salute.

Huang Shaojie raised his hand and smiled slightly and said: “No courtesy! Tonight at Zuixian Tower, I’m treating guests. You can order whatever you like and drink as much as you like before resting!”

As soon as these words came out, everyone couldn’t help but applaud and cheer.

Zuixianlou is a famous high-end restaurant in Suzhou City, and they, the Imperial Guards in Imperial Guards, can’t even afford it.

Now the newly appointed General Banner actually invited them to have a big meal at Zuixian Tower on his first day in office, which naturally made them very happy.

The previous Lord General Banner had never invited anyone, including Xiao Qi.

They were the only ones who entertained adults like Xiao Qi and Zong Qi by inviting guests.

Huang Shaojie doesn’t care. Firstly, his family is rich, and secondly, he is also a generous person. He parachuted into the Third Guards Station as the general flag, and he is in a good mood. He spends dozens of taels of silver to treat his subordinates to have fun. In the future, these subordinates will She must be more loyal to him.

…….

Afternoon application time.

The inspector general, He Lu, took a hundred strong men and escorted more than a dozen horses back to the Jinyiwei Yamen.

These carriages were filled with gold and silver treasures copied from the Five Lakes Society.

The carriage stopped at the school grounds waiting for inventory. He Lu came to the Jinyiwei lobby with a list.

“See Ushi Senhu!”

He Lu cupped his hands and bowed to Niu Ren who was sitting at the top.

Niu Ren put down the case report in his hand, looked at He Lu, and asked:

“He Lu, have you finished copying the Wuhu Club’s property?”

He Lu said: “The copying has been completed. This subordinate is here to report to Mr. Qianhu that all the assets of Wuhumen have been confiscated.”

After that, he stepped forward and presented the copied list to Niu Ren.

Niu Ren took the list and looked at it. It read:

[A total of 5,430 taels of gold, a total of 217,850 taels of silver, a total of 56,700 copper coins, a total of three boxes of pearls, agates, and jade, and a total of 32 real estate and shop title deeds]

After Niu Ren read it, he couldn’t help but said in surprise: “The Five Lakes Society is actually so rich, but why does it take the risk of destroying the sect to rob the imperial court?”

I thought Wuhumen had no money to spend, so I came up with the idea of ​​official bank, but now I raided Wuhuhuizhuang Courtyard and found so much property.

This really surprised Niu Ren.

He Lu Gongshou said: “My subordinates found an underground hall in the courtyard of Wuhuhui. There are many furnaces used to smelt official silver. There are also many craftsmen’s hammers for making weapons. There are many weapons piled up in the underground hall. Thousands of weapons, including spears, swords, bows and arrows, have not been shipped out yet.”

Niu Ren couldn’t help being shocked after hearing this!

He stood up after taking the case and said: “This Five Lakes Society actually secretly built a large number of weapons in the underground secret room. Are they planning to rebel? No wonder they dare to rob the imperial court’s official banknotes. This must be an organization that intends to secretly rebel.”

He Lu said: “My subordinates also have this doubt. There are only a few hundred people in the Five Lakes Association, but they are building thousands of weapons in the underground secret hall. There is obviously no shortage of property, but they still want to rob the imperial tax money.

Killing five hundred officers and soldiers, all kinds of actions were indeed intended to be rebellious. ”

Niu Ren frowned and thought: “A small Five Lakes Association actually has plans to rebel. This matter is a bit strange. These rebels of the Five Lakes Association must be interrogated carefully. Maybe there is a larger hidden force behind the Five Lakes Association. .”

“As for the money seized from the Five Lakes Association, five percent should be kept according to the old rules, and the rest should be reported to the court.”

Jinyiwei requires a lot of money to handle cases, so when property is confiscated, Jinyiwei will withhold 5% of it and transfer it to Jinyiwei’s warehouse.

Firstly, it is used for daily case handling funds, and secondly, it is used for issuing rewards.

The imperial court was naturally aware of this.

But, it’s not just Jin Yiwei who can make money?

Which department, as long as it handles money, is not just plucking its feathers and grabbing a handful?

Although Jinyiwei only intercepted 5% of the stolen property, since they were handling major and important cases, the confiscated property was also huge.

Five percent is already a huge amount of income.

The total value of the properties copied by the Wuhu Society was at least five hundred thousand taels. Withholding five percent would be two to thirty thousand taels.

He Lu took the order and left.

Niu Ren then asked Huang Shaojie to be called.

“My subordinates are here to see Niu Qianhu.” Huang Shaojie bowed his hands to Niu Ren, “I wonder what your orders are when you summon your subordinates.”

Niu Ren said: “Just now He Lu came to report that there will be an underground hall in Wuhu where weapons are forged and there are plans for rebellion. I asked you to come with me to the dungeon to interrogate the captured Wuhuhui disciples.”

The reason why Huang Shaojie, the newly appointed commander-in-chief, was called was mainly because it was Huang Shaojie who solved the robbery of the official bank.

Forging weapons and intending to rebel?

Huang Shaojie couldn’t help being surprised! I thought that Wuhu would be brave enough to dare to steal the official silver, but I didn’t expect that they actually had plans to rebel.

Niu Ren brought Huang Shaojie to the dungeon, and was about to interrogate Elder Xiao. General Li Qi, who was in charge of the dungeon, handed over his hand and said:

“Lord Qianhu, the elder Xiao of Wuhu Hui who was imprisoned in the dungeon, as well as the two deacons, all cut off their meridians and died.”

“What?” Niu Ren’s expression changed.

I originally wanted to interrogate Elder Xiao and the two deacons, but I didn’t expect that at this critical moment, these three backbones of the Five Lakes Society would cut their own veins and die.

Huang Shaojie couldn’t help but be secretly surprised. Just now, Master Qianhu said that he was going to interrogate these people, but these people died by cutting off their veins. Isn’t this a bit too coincidental?
