Chapter 293 The Embroidered Uniform Guard Investigates the Case (2)
The deployment of the Embroidered Uniform Guard quickly caused an uproar in Yudu.
But this uproar wasn't limited to Yudu.
Imperial City.
Weiwei Temple.
It is said that a new official makes a splash when he takes office. Liu Chen took office as Minister of the Imperial Guards, and before anyone could react, he burned down the entire staff of the Imperial Guards.
The kind that burns your butt!
First, Liu Chen went to Taiji Gate to remonstrate to the death, and then someone came to Daxing Hall to issue an imperial edict. In this short day, no one in the Weiwei Temple knew what happened to the other officials in the central government, but every single one of them had not been able to sleep last night.
Because they weren't careful, they all ran into the whirlpool.
The officials and clerks of the Imperial Guard who hadn't slept well were on their way to the yamen for roll call today, but they were filled with unease because the Imperial Guard Minister, who had burned them all, hadn't come to the yamen.
"Sigh, what a mess this is! The New Year is just a few days away, and we can't even have a proper New Year celebration."
"Celebrating the New Year? Whether they'll even survive is another matter."
"What are you saying? The deficit in the armory and granaries has nothing to do with us!"
"Yeah, we're just a bunch of gatekeepers. Even if the armory is emptied, what does it have to do with us?!"
At that time, outside the Weiwei Temple, several constables stood there in a daze. With such a big incident, and an imperial edict issued yesterday to strictly investigate the Weiwei Temple and the Northern Army, who could be at ease?
Bang bang bang~
Da da!
As the group argued, the sound of footsteps and hooves came from afar. They looked over nervously and saw figures running swiftly in the cold wind.
The commotion was so great that it startled some government offices.
"The Embroidered Uniform Guard!!"
One of the constables outside the Weiwei Temple exclaimed in surprise, and then turned to run into the government office.
But while the others were still in a daze...
Suddenly, a dark shadow flashed past them.
"what!!"
Soon after, screams rang out.
The person who had intended to deliver the message was now lying on the ground, struggling and clutching his legs.
"hurry up!!"
Lou Han, the garrison commander of the Northern Garrison, who was in charge of leading the team, shouted sternly with a cold look in his eyes.
"Surround the Imperial Guard Temple for me!!"
"Don't let a single one escape!!"
Upon hearing the shouts, the Imperial Guards immediately split into several teams, creating such a commotion that the constables outside the nearby government offices watched with tense expressions.
"Xiaoshan! Take your men and bring the roster here."
Lou Han, who had reined in his horse, stared at the flag officers pouring into the Weiwei Temple and said coldly, "See who hasn't reported for duty. Send someone to inform Commander Yan!"
"Yes."
The centurion standing nearby immediately clasped his hands in greeting and shouted.
The case of embezzlement of the armory and granaries was ordered to be thoroughly investigated yesterday, but the Imperial Guards only arrived today, probably to see who was getting restless.
As for escaping?
Can they escape?
Originally under the Eighth Commandery of the Imperial Guards, it was small in scale compared to other commanderies, but that doesn't mean the Embroidered Uniform Guard was really short-handed!
Otherwise, how could the Embroidered Uniform Guards, who were already under secret orders, possibly manage to keep up with everything?
"Be honest with me!"
"come out!"
"On what grounds are you arresting people!"
"What crime have we committed?!"
Lou Han dismounted, patted his flying fish robe, then gripped the hilt of his embroidered spring knife and, surrounded by dozens of flag officers, walked proudly toward the bustling Weiwei Temple.
The Imperial Guard Temple at this moment has lost all its former majesty.
One by one, the officials and clerks were dragged out by the officers of the Embroidered Uniform Guard.
Starting with the Left Vice Minister of the Imperial Guard, the Imperial Guard was divided into officials, clerks, and servants. These people from the Imperial Guard were separated by the officers of the Embroidered Uniform Guard. This scene, however, stung the hearts of many.
"Who's in charge of this team?!"
Left Vice Minister Sima Zheng could not hide his anger. He glared at the group of Imperial Guard officers standing with their swords at their sides and said sternly, "Even if we are to investigate the Imperial Guard, Liu Chen must come in person!"
"Lord Sima, I'm sorry to disappoint you."
Under these circumstances, Lou Han walked over with his head held high. The officers of the Embroidered Uniform Guard in front of him stepped aside. Facing Sima Zheng's angry glare, Lou Han said calmly, "Lord Liu has important business to attend to, so he has appointed this Commander to lead the team here."
"Who are you!?"
Suppressing his anger, Sima Zheng looked at Lou Han, who was about the same age as his son, and questioned him.
"The Embroidered Uniform Guard, Northern Garrison Command, Garrison Commander: Lou Han!"
Lou Han said in a firm and resolute tone.
This is just nonsense!!
Upon hearing what Lou Han said, Sima Zheng was deeply disturbed. He had just observed the group of Imperial Guards led by Lou Han and found them all to be incredibly young.
The oldest, I'm afraid, has only been a few years old.
He's been entrusted with such an important task before his hair has even fully grown in?
What are you going to do next?
But at this moment, Sima Zheng could only suppress his anger and look at Lou Han, saying, "Are you planning to arrest us all?"
Even if the armory and granaries under the jurisdiction of the Imperial Guard were in deficit, it did not mean that everyone was at fault. After all, the Imperial Guard's authority was clearly defined, and those who were not involved in its duties could not easily interfere.
I originally thought that a thorough investigation of the Imperial Guard Temple would simply involve arresting those involved, but the commotion caused by the Embroidered Uniform Guard clearly indicates that this is not the case.
Even as he was speaking, Sima Zheng noticed some people leaving, seemingly carrying something in their hands.
"That's not the case."
In response to Sima Zheng's question, Lou Han smiled slightly and said, "The Imperial Guard will be closed for the next few days. I would appreciate it if you gentlemen could stay here with my Embroidered Uniform Guard and chat with us."
Want to chat?
Upon hearing Lou Han's words, many of the officials, led by Sima Zheng, showed expressions of astonishment, clearly not expecting this.
"Rest assured, gentlemen."
Lou Han maintained his smile and continued, "During this period, everyone will be provided with all the food and drink they need. In addition, the Embroidered Uniform Guard has already sent people to your residences to inform your families, so you can all stay at the Imperial Guard Temple with peace of mind."
"Governor, the archives have been sealed."
"The garrison commander has not missed anyone."
"Commander, the interrogation site is ready."
"The Garrison Commander and the Imperial Guard have arranged manpower in all departments."
"The Pacification Commissioner..."
As soon as Lou Han finished speaking, a group of Jinyiwei officers walked towards him with serious expressions and whispered the situation to him.
This scene, witnessed by Sima Zheng and his companions, caused a change in their expressions.
So stable!
Although these Imperial Guards all looked very young, they acted with reason and composure, which was very impressive.
"Lou... the Garrison Commander holds an important position in the Imperial Guard."
Under these circumstances, Sima Zheng stepped forward and asked, "If you were to close the office, how would you handle urgent matters?"
"rest assured."
Lou Han, who was listening to the report from his subordinates, waved his hand when he heard what Sima Zheng said. Then he smiled and said to Sima Zheng, "If there is any urgent matter, I will arrange for someone to inform Lord Liu. There is no need for Lord Sima to worry about this."
Sima Zheng remained silent.
Now you're thinking about doing errands? What were you doing before?
Lou Han glanced at Sima Zheng, a cold smile creeping across his face. He then turned away; he had much to do and no time to waste here!
