King of Han Dynasty of Ming Dynasty

The next afternoon.

With the close cooperation of a group of powerful people in the entire Yingtian City.

A carpet search was conducted throughout the city of Yingtianfu to clear out any suspects in the city.

Anyone who showed any suspicion was arrested without any surprise and imprisoned in the Jinyiwei prison.

After a day and night of trial and investigation.

In the Jinyiwei prison, the identities of the thousands of suspicious persons arrested were finally checked one by one.

If the identities match and someone can provide proof, then all those who should be released will be released.

That's it.

A total of more than 700 people were released.

There are nearly three hundred people left with various suspicious points that need to be verified and examined.

He wanted to eliminate the innocent people from the remaining nearly 300 people and find out the Japanese bandits hiding among them.

It can be said that the workload of the Jinyiwei was directly stretched to the limit, which tortured them severely.

Since noon the day before yesterday, the whole city has been under martial law and search and arrest, and all the members of the Jinyiwei have not even closed their eyes.

After nearly twenty hours of high-intensity work, the Jinyiwei in charge of this case were exhausted both physically and mentally.

They have lost their former energetic appearance, and are yawning continuously, looking terribly depressed.

See this situation.

As the commander-in-chief of this matter, Ji Gang had to report the current situation.

Subsequently.

The two brothers Zhu Gaochi and Zhu Gaoxu came to fight again.

Ji Gang, who had been waiting at the door for a long time, saw the two people coming and stepped forward quickly:

"Greetings to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, Prince Han!"

"You two, please come in."

Say it.

He hunched over and walked on the side to lead the way for the two people.

Along the way.

Looking at the Jinyiwei who looked listless and yawned from time to time, both of them frowned involuntarily.

After inspecting the place, Zhu Gaoxu looked at the Crown Prince and asked:

"Boss..."

"You've seen what you should see."

"How to do?"

"Break or continue?"

Upon hearing this, Zhu Gaochi could not help but frown, with a trace of confusion flashing across his face. He did not answer the question immediately, but turned to look at Ji Gang beside him and asked:
"Master Ji..."

"Where are the personnel that were transferred from Yingtianfu City?"

"The people in our headquarters can't hold on any longer. The people we transferred here should be able to take over directly if they are just interrogating us, right?"

When Ji Gang was called, a trace of embarrassment flashed across his face and he shook his head slightly:

"Your Highness..."

"You also know that the Jinyiwei has a limited number of personnel."

“Its manpower is limited.”

"We went down yesterday and the city-wide search involved so many areas."

"Those personnel transferred from other places were also directly assigned to help."

"so……"

Dele.

Talk and talk.

That means everyone is doing the job and there is really no extra manpower.

All his subordinates are of the same character.

No one can bear it any longer.

After hearing this, Zhu Gaochi's face darkened, a hint of displeasure flashed across his expression, and he was about to scold.

But the words were not spoken.

Zhu Gaoxu stood up from his chair, patted his shoulder gently, and shook his head slightly.

On this matter.

In a sense, sincerity cannot corrupt the Jinyiwei.

After all, it was a whole-process search!
The manpower required is already a lot.

And after the search, so many people were captured.

They have to be examined one by one to confirm their identities and problems.

How much workload is involved?

Anyone who is not a fool can imagine it.

Confirm the identities of thousands of people!
It all depends on people.

The difficulty can be imagined.

And these Jinyiwei actually took less than twenty hours to eliminate more than 700 people.

There were less than three hundred people left.

Obviously, they tried their best.

There was no dishonesty or cunning in this matter, nor was there any hypocrisy.

Scolding at this time does seem a bit inhumane and like you are not treating others as human beings.

This is really what we need to do.

When this gets to the ears of the people below, God knows what they will think.

I think it will definitely lead to evil in people.

Such a result is totally unnecessary.

After a brief pause, Zhu Gaoxu turned around and shouted to the outside of the door:

"Somebody come!"

"Quickly summon Prince Zhao Zhu Gaosui to come to the imperial prison to report."

then.

He retracted his gaze, waved at the two of them with a smile, and said:

"fine."

"Didn't that bastard Lao San just come back?"

"That bastard was sneaking around and not participating in the citywide manhunt."

"He has to contribute to the follow-up finishing work and the trial work!"

"After all, Zhanji is also his nephew."

"How can a real uncle hide behind and watch the fun and take a break?"

“That makes absolutely no sense.”

"Do you think so?"

After hearing this.

No matter whether it is extremely good or Zhu Gaochi.

The two of them instantly brightened up their eyes and subconsciously exclaimed:
"Yup!"

"King Zhao is back."

"He also served in the Imperial Guards, but I forgot about him."

"but……"

As he spoke, Zhu Gaochi seemed to have thought of something and said in a deep voice:
"Second brother..."

"We have someone to take charge of the situation."

"The question is where are the people for the interrogation?"

"How do we deal with this? What should we do?"

In this regard.

Zhu Gaoxu smiled and shook his head, pointed at Zhu Gaochi, and said helplessly:

"No... Boss, are you pretending to be stupid in front of me?"

"manpower?"

"The soldiers in the army, the soldiers of the imperial guards, aren't they all human beings?"

"Isn't it just an interrogation?"

"What's the big deal?"

"If you haven't eaten pork, how can you have never seen a pig?"

"Are you underestimating these people?"

"Do you really think that interrogation is something that only the Royal Guards can do?"

"you really are……"

"As the saying goes, caring too much can lead to confusion!"

That's what I said.

When Zhu Gaochi asked the question, he reacted instantly.

Then, a hint of embarrassment flashed across his face.

Don't tell me yet.

He really thought too much about this matter.

Seeing that he didn't speak, Zhu Gaoxu waved his hand at Ji Gang beside him and said:
"Master Ji..."

"Let's arrange this matter this way!"

"Those who need to rest, let them go back and rest."

"As for the rest, wait for the third brother to come and let him arrange it himself."

"He's familiar with the process anyway."

Upon hearing this, Ji Gang did not leave immediately, but subconsciously focused his gaze on Zhu Gaochi.

After all, this matter involved Zhu Gaochi.

Naturally, it was impossible for him to just listen to Zhu Gaoxu's orders.

Otherwise, God knows if it will cause dissatisfaction among this gentleman.

There is absolutely no need to offend others. Feeling the gazes falling on him, Zhu Gaochi did not say much. After all, he could not find any fault with Zhu Gaoxu's arrangement.

Then, after a brief silence, he waved at Ji Gang who was eagerly waiting.

The two agreed.

Ji Gang did not stay any longer and left to arrange the next matters.

After all, let alone the people below, their bodies couldn’t bear it anymore.

As the person in charge, he has been working non-stop for more than twenty hours.

His body can no longer bear it.

Almost a quarter of an hour later, Ji Gang left.

crunch...

The door, which was originally tightly closed, was pushed open with a bang.

Zhu Gaochi and Zhu Gaoxu, who were leaning on the armchair, suddenly opened their half-closed eyes and looked towards the open door. A trace of displeasure appeared on their faces and they were about to shout.

However, after seeing clearly who was coming, he had to hold back the words that were about to come out of his mouth.

Then, he looked at Zhao Wang Zhu Gaosui, who was walking towards the two of them with a smile on his face, and heard his teasing words in his ears:
"Big brother, second brother..."

"What's going on with you two?"

"I haven't seen you for two days. Why are you like this?"

"Why did you come to the Jinyiwei prison to take a nap?"

"I don't want to sleep on the soft couch, I'm sleeping in the Jinyiwei prison."

"have to say……"

"You two are such a good bunch!"

"Did you steal cattle last night?"

Zhu Gaochi and Zhu Gaoxu glared at him in disapproval.

We are all smart people, how could we not know that this is a deliberate attempt to discredit the two of them.

but.

The two were too lazy to argue about it, after all, business was more important.

Then, Zhu Gaochi spoke first and said:
"That's enough! Third brother..."

"Can you please stop being so rude?"

"What's the reason? What's the problem? Don't you know?"

"You think we slept comfortably for two days just like you!"

"The two of us have been very busy these past two days."

"Where is the time to rest?"

The words have not yet fallen.

Zhu Gaosui waved his hand to interrupt and asked with interest:

"Okay, okay..."

“You have worked hard and made great contributions.”

"Don't complain to me, it's useless."

"Let's get down to business!"

"Why are you calling me here so hastily?"

"What on earth do you want to do?!"

Zhu Gaochi pondered for a moment, picked up the hot tea on the table to moisten his throat, and then told the whole story one by one.

After listening.

Zhu Gaosui was not at all surprised by this.

Before coming, he had some guesses in his mind.

As for the current situation, he had no reason to refuse.

After a short pause, he nodded slightly and said:
"Okay!"

"It's just trivial things that don't matter."

"Then let's walk?"

"Both of you together?"

After hearing this, Zhu Gaochi and Zhu Gaoxu looked at each other.

Afterwards, Zhu Gaoxu shook his head and said:

"The third child..."

"Be a human being, okay?"

"Didn't you see that the boss and I fell asleep sitting on these stiff chairs?"

"Can we take a break for a while?"

"You go first..."

"After all, we are all laymen in this matter, and you are the professional."

"We can't give you much help if we go, so we won't cause you any trouble!"

"That's great. Let's take this opportunity to have a rest."

"Just wait for your good news here!"

"All right?"

"Just don't bother the two of us, is that okay?"

It has come to this.

What could Zhu Gaosui say?
Judging from the expressions of the two people at the moment, he is not a fool, how could he not see that they are tired?

Then, without pretending to be weird about it, he waved to the two of them magnanimously, turned around and left in big strides.

Seeing that Zhu Gaosui did not make any trouble, the two of them couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. They looked at each other and a bitter smile appeared on their faces.

After that, the two didn't talk much.

Then the room fell into silence, and after a while, two loud snoring sounds were heard.

……

After arriving at the interrogation room and looking around at the nearly three hundred suspicious people who were detained.

Zhu Gaosui turned to look at the person next to him and asked:
"We arrested more than a thousand people last night, and we are still investigating their identities."

"Have you confirmed that there are any Japanese bandits caught?"

After hearing this.

The soldier who had been carefully accompanying him along the way was startled, then he calmed down and quickly agreed:

"Report to the prince."

"During the search last night, we captured a Japanese bandit whose identity was previously exposed and was able to confirm his identity."

"Among the more than 1,000 people who were arrested, not a single one could be confirmed to be a Japanese bandit."

"so……"

The words haven't been said yet.

Zhu Gaosui, who was standing in front, stretched out his hand to stop them and ordered:

"Row!"

"Then come along first. I'll go and see the Japanese bandit whose identity is confirmed!"

"See if we can find something unique about them, and find out what these bandits have in common."

"As long as we can find it, the matter will become less complicated."

Say it.

He motioned to the man to lead the way.

After walking for dozens of meters and turning several corners, the two arrived outside the deepest cell in the imperial prison.

Compared with other cells, dozens of people were imprisoned together.

This cell seemed very empty.

Only one person was detained.

And this person was none other than Ueno, the mastermind behind the assassination attempt by the Japanese bandits.

Looking at the people coming, Ueno in the cell raised his eyelids and glanced at the two people, then closed his eyes again, as if he was asleep.

See this situation.

Zhu Gaosui couldn't help but raise the corner of his mouth slightly, a hint of intriguing smile flashed across his face, and he shouted in a low voice:

"sure!"

"Not bad, not bad, with character."

"very good…"

"I like it, I like it, but I hope you can still be as calm and composed as you are now."

Say it.

He was too lazy to talk to him, so he waved at the person next to him and said:

"Somebody come!"

"Take this man to the interrogation room."

"I want to see how tough he is."

"Let's go!"

Done.

He walked towards the interrogation room first, without even glancing at Ueno.

The soldiers received the order without any hesitation.

The cage was opened quickly, and a man held one of Ueno's hands and carried Ueno, who was shackled on both hands and feet, to quickly follow Zhu Gaosui.

In the interrogation room.

Zhu Gaosui leaned back on the armchair, leisurely skimmed off the floating matter in the teacup, took a sip, and then, with drooping eyelids, glanced at Ueno who was tied to a wooden stake, and walked forward with a grin, saying:
"Ueno! Ueno!"

"you say…"

"You yourself told me the news I wanted to know!"

"Or should I do it myself and let you tell me the news I want to know?"

"Ok?"

"Which way do you think is better?"
