Zongwu: Start as Jinyiwei, invincible and powerful!

Lin Fan didn't answer but asked, "I heard that Miss Wuqing has the ability to read minds and understand people's hearts?"

"If someone is much stronger than me, or has special skills, I won't be able to see through his mind. For example, Lord Lin, I can't see through your mind," Wuqing looked at Lin Fan and said calmly.

"That's enough," Lin Fan smiled and continued, "His Majesty has ordered the Imperial Guard to investigate why Zhu Wusi was able to gain the support of the ten generals."

"But I'm sure you're aware of the situation with the Jinyiwei. I've only been in charge of them for a few months, so I don't have a complete understanding of everyone's background. I'd like to ask you to help me identify any spies among the middle and high-level officials of the Jinyiwei."

In fact, Lin Fan naturally knew that the ten generals supported Zhu Wusi only because he had some leverage over them.

But there is no need to rush to reveal it now.

Wuqing glanced at Lin Fan and said calmly, "Okay."

"I will immediately summon the Jinyiwei to test those with the rank of hundred households and above. I will trouble Miss Wuqing then," Lin Fan said with a slight smile.

Wuqing said: "Don't have too many people at once."

"Okay, I got it. Miss Wuqing, please wait a moment. I will arrange it right away." Lin Fan nodded and responded, then turned and left.

Wuqing looked at Lin Fan's departing back with a distant look in his eyes, and it was unknown what he was thinking in his heart.

After Lin Fan left the office, he directly issued an order, asking all those Jinyiwei who had passed the examination and were above the rank of centurion and who were not currently out to gather in a hall of the Northern Pacification Office.

"See the Commander!"

When they saw Lin Fan, everyone bowed, clasped their fists, and saluted respectfully.

"No need to be so polite," Lin Fan said calmly after looking around. "From now on, those whose names I call will follow me. The rest of you will stay where you are for now."

"Yes, my lord!"

Everyone looked at each other in confusion when they heard this, but no one dared to jump out at this time.

Next, Lin Fan took these Jinyiwei officials to see Wuqing in batches, asked Wuqing to check their thoughts through mind reading, and asked Zhou Meng to record them.

Of course, Lin Fan did not let everyone face Wuqing directly, as he put a screen between them.

People outside cannot see ruthlessness, but ruthlessness can see people outside.

After half a day, Wuqing saw through the thoughts of these people, and Zhou Meng also made detailed records.

This also includes the general flag reported by Dong Tianbao.

"Thank you for your hard work, Miss Wuqing," Lin Fan said to Wuqing with a smile after the screening was completed.

Wuqing said calmly: "I'm used to it. If there is nothing else, I will go back to the Divine Marquis Mansion."

Lin Fan shook his head slightly. "Miss Wuqing, please be patient. I'm looking for your help, not just to identify Jinyiwei officials."

"Identifying Jinyiwei officials is only to prepare for the next step. We need to avoid spies appearing at that time, which would cause great trouble for His Majesty and the court."

"What should we do next?" Wuqing asked calmly after hearing this.

"Miss Wuqing, please wait a moment. Let me take a look at the information first," Lin Fan responded with a smile, and then began to check the situation of the Jinyiwei people recorded by Zhou Meng.

After a short while, Lin Fan finished his inspection.

After three months of investigation, there were no more followers of Cao Zhengchun and Liu Xi among the Jinyiwei, but there were still two or three followers of Jiang Bin.

In addition, there were actually four or five people who were loyal to Zhu Wusi.

As for the general flag that Dong Tianbao reported, he was also one of Jiang Bin's followers. He contacted the Western Factory at the beginning only on the orders of a captain.

And that captain was also one of Jiang Bin's followers.

After reading the information, Lin Fan directly put it into the system space, but for the time being he did not take action against those people of Zhu Wusi. Instead, he eliminated Jiang Bin's people and fulfilled his promise by promoting Dong Tianbao to the general flag.

"Let's go, let's go meet someone." After dealing with the Jinyiwei matter, Lin Fan found Wuqing again and said with a smile.

"Who are you meeting?" Wuqing asked curiously.

"Tian Zi secret agent, Duan Tianya," Lin Fan narrowed his eyes slightly and slowly said a name.

Wuqing said: "Is there something wrong with Duan Tianya?"

Lin Fan shook his head slightly and said, "Duan Tianya may be fine, but his wife, that's not necessarily the case."

"As far as I know, Duan Tianya's wife is a Japanese from the Yagyu family of Japan. Zhu Wusi has had a lot of cooperation with the Yagyu family of Japan."

Wuqing heard this and didn't say anything else.

Next, Lin Fan asked Zhou Meng to take people to investigate Wan Sanqian, the richest man in the Great Zhou Dynasty, while he pushed Wuqing to Duan Tianya's residence in the capital.

Behind them, the new commander-in-chief of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, Dong Tianbao, followed closely with a team of Embroidered Uniform Guards with serious expressions.

Soon, the group arrived at Duan Tianya's residence.

Duan Tianya's residence is also a very simple courtyard.

Seeing Lin Fan and Wuqing arrive, accompanied by a team of Jinyiwei, Duan Tianya couldn't help but look a little surprised. "Master Lin, Miss Wuqing, I wonder what brings you to see me?"

"Master Duan, won't you invite us in?" Lin Fan smiled faintly and asked instead of answering.

"You two can come in, but these Jinyiwei..." Duan Tianya looked at Dong Tianbao and other Jinyiwei behind Lin Fan, and seemed to be hesitant to speak.

Lin Fan waved his hand and said, "Wait outside. No one is allowed to enter the mansion without my permission."

"I obey my orders!"

Dong Tianbao heard this and immediately spoke respectfully.

Immediately, the other Jinyiwei also responded at the same time.

"please!"

Upon seeing this, Duan Tianya gestured to Lin Fan and Wuqing to come in.

Lin Fan didn't say anything polite. He pushed Wuqing and slowly entered the courtyard where Duan Tianya lived.

Duan Tianya took the two of them into the living room and served them tea and snacks personally.

After both parties sat down as host and guest, Duan Tianya asked, "Master Lin, can you please tell me why you came to see me?"

Lin Fan said, "The Imperial Guards have received news that Zhu Wusi has recruited a group of Japanese ninjas to work for him."

"I heard that your wife is from the Yagyu family of Japan. I would like to ask her some questions about the Yagyu family."

Duan Tianya's eyes flickered slightly, and he said, "My wife is ill, so I'm afraid it's inconvenient for her to see guests. I also have some understanding of the Yagyu family..."

"Is it inconvenient to see guests, or are you afraid to see guests?" Before Duan Tianya finished speaking, Lin Fan interrupted him and continued,

"Is it because Miss Liu Sheng Piao Xu knew we were coming and deliberately hid herself? If Hero Duan doesn't cooperate, I will have no choice but to let the Jinyiwei outside in as well."

Duan Tianya frowned and said, "Master Lin has come to investigate my wife. Is there a decree from His Majesty?"

"No," Lin Fan shook his head slightly, then continued, "Extraordinary times call for extraordinary measures. I hope Master Duan can understand."

"Besides, we are just asking for his cooperation to understand the situation. We are not going to take him back to the Northern Pacification Prison."

"Husband, there are guests at home." At this time, Liu Sheng Piaoxu suddenly walked out of the house, dressed like a housewife.

Duan Tianya saw Liu Sheng Piaoxu coming out and hurried forward to support her, "You're not well yet, be careful."

Lin Fan suddenly said, "I heard that Miss Liu Sheng lost all her power due to an injury and is now seriously ill. The skills I've practiced are quite effective in treating injuries, so perhaps I can help Miss Liu Sheng."

"Thank you for your kindness, Lord Lin. However, there is no need to trouble you," Duan Tianya said with a slightly gloomy face and refused.

Lin Fan did not insist after hearing this, and immediately pretended to ask about some matters of the Yagyu family and ninja matters.

"Excuse me, farewell!"

It was not until he saw Wuqing's ruthless eyes that Lin Fan ended his questioning and stood up to say goodbye to Duan Tianya and his wife.

Duan Tianya didn't say much. He let Liu Sheng Piaoxu go back first, and then sent Lin Fan and Wuqing out.

After leaving Duan Tianya's residence, Lin Fan asked Wuqing, "How was it? Did you gain anything?"
