Chapter 1625 Hexi Major Case
Outdoors, the sky is blue and the sun is shining brightly, the sky and the earth are bright, and the hall is still lit with two rows and three layers of candles, which seems to be more temperamental.

A young man in a beast costume walked into the hall with cautious steps, glanced at Wang Yinwu who was sitting reviewing the case while drinking tea, stepped forward, and bowed: "Uncle!"

This person's name is Wang Xuanzhen, and he is Wang Yinwu's nephew. He was the captain of Wu Desi Jingji at that time, and one of Wang Yinwu's closest relatives. His main responsibility is to sort out and analyze national intelligence.

A hero with three gangs. After Wang Yinwu took office as Wude envoy, he also installed many relatives and friends, and promoted many cronies.On the side of the Imperial City Division, there is a group of confidants headed by his four adopted sons. Wang Yinwu also promoted the "Eight Great Vajras" in the Wu De Division, and this Wang Xuanzhen is one of them.

Of course, Zhang Dejun's grandson has now started to serve in the Imperial City Department and even the local government, serving the imperial court.Li Chongju would never do this kind of nepotism, in order to avoid assigning blame to others. Compared with it, Wang Yinwu is obviously more like a spy chief, who can be described as "stained and stained".

In the hall, Wang Yinwu looked away from the official document in his hand, and landed on Wang Xuanzhen, noticing his serious expression, he refused to let him sit, and asked majesticly, "What's the matter?"

Upon hearing this, Wang Xuanzhen bowed again and said, "Hexi reported that the Black Khanate mission has been robbed and killed!"

As soon as he heard the performance, Wang Yinwu immediately paid attention to it, straightened his back subconsciously, and asked anxiously, "What's going on? When did it happen? What's the loss of the mission?"

Wang Xuanzhen obviously knew the seriousness of the matter, he cupped his hands and said: "Seven days ago, what happened at Yanzhi Station at the junction of Ganzhou and Liangzhou, there were more than [-] members of the Heiheihan Mission, only one injured groom survived, and the rest were all killed. The envoys and deputy envoys were among them, and all the belongings and tributes accompanying them were looted, and the reception officials and a group of officers and soldiers accompanying them were not spared either!"

Hearing such a report, Wang Yinwu couldn't hide his surprise, he couldn't sit still, he got up in a gaffe, and asked, "Do you know who did it? Who has the guts to commit such a heinous crime?"

There is no doubt that this is a major case that can shake the government and the public!For so many years, in the stable and prosperous environment of the big man, crimes are inevitable, and some crimes such as robbery and assault still occur from time to time among the people, but there is absolutely nothing comparable to this time.

There have never been any bandits who dared to target the government and attack official personnel.It has been 20 years since the restoration of the Northwest, but during these 20 years, there has always been a chronic disease in the Northwest, especially in the Hexi area, that is, horse bandits.

Those horse bandits are complex and come from various ethnic groups, including Uighurs, Tubo, Han people and other minorities. They may be dissatisfied with the rule of the imperial court, or they may be seeking money.

Because the horse bandits plundered and affected the security of the northwest, the local government and the garrison also organized several times to suppress them, but these horse bandits were endlessly suppressed and destroyed.

Because the horse bandits are basically locals, they are fierce and fierce, and they are familiar with the environment. They go in and out of the desert, come and go like the wind, and every time they are hit, they don't sink for a long time, and then rekindle.

In fact, the government also knows that as long as the golden commercial route of the Silk Road is still there, and the trade between east and west continues to prosper, then the profession of horse banditry will never disappear.

However, under the continuous suppression by the government and the army, the horse bandits in the northwest have been contained up to now, and the officials and bandits are in a relative balance.

Although the horse bandits have not been eradicated, the frequency of crimes has dropped significantly compared to a dozen or 20 years ago. In addition, business travelers traveling between east and west have also strengthened their guards, and the Hexi Corridor is still relatively safe.And even if they were looted, it was rare for them to be exterminated.

Moreover, no matter how fierce the horse bandits were, they would only plunder the local people and passing caravans, and they never dared to invade the government and the army.

But this time, they broke through several bottom lines at once, not only murdered and extorted goods, but also officials and soldiers were killed, and equally important, it was the Black Khan Mission. This is a serious foreign-related incident.

Although the Black Khanate is smaller than the Han Dynasty, it has to be said that it is one of the few countries around the Han Dynasty that maintains normal diplomatic relations, and it is not that they dare not oppose the Han Dynasty.

Over the years, with the non-governmental trade between the two countries, the relationship between the two countries has been relatively harmonious. Every year, the black khan east envoys have not been cut off. Now, their envoys have been robbed and killed directly in the Han territory.

The life and death of the envoy might not be bothered by the big man here, but the face of the imperial court was beaten, and he still punched him hard, and he was beaten so hard that it was extremely serious.

This is also the reason why Wang Yinwu couldn't sit still immediately after receiving the report. When he reached his position, of course he had a certain political vision.When such a thing happened, he didn't know how the military and political officials in Hexi jumped their feet in anger. As far as he was concerned, he didn't know how to report the matter to Emperor Liu.

Subconsciously looked in the direction of Biangong, followed by Wude Siya, separated by many palace gates, but he seemed to have been stared at by Emperor Liu's cold eyes, and he was really shuddering.

Seeing Wang Yinwu's reaction, Wang Xuanzhen didn't dare to be negligent, and continued to report: "After inspecting the scene of the incident, everyone in Hexi knew that Zheng An's preliminary judgment was that the local horse bandits did it!"

"It still needs to be judged?" Hearing this, Wang Yinwu immediately scolded: "At the junction of Gansu and Liang, in the hinterland of Hexi, besides those horse bandits, who else, and what kind of force, have the strength to commit such a major crime? It’s not like the local garrison did it!”

Wang Xuanzhen was a little embarrassed, and Wang Yinwu stared straight at him: "What I want to know is which horse bandit it is! Report it to me!"

"Yes!" Wang Xuanzhen hurried forward, presented the Hexi secret report, and continued: "Right now, the frontier troops in Ganzhou, Liangzhou, and Lingzhou have been dispatched to search and investigate, hunt down bandits, and clear up the law and order, but there is no result yet. !"

Wang Yinwu said coldly: "At this moment, do you think of clearing up the law and order? Isn't it too late?"

While concentrating on reading, Wang Yinwu said, "Although there are quite a few horse bandits in Hexi, there are probably only a few of them who can commit such a serious case, so let's check those big bandits first!"

"Yes!" Hearing Wang Yinwu's instruction, Wang Xuanzhen immediately responded.

The hall gradually fell into silence for a long time, until Wang Yinwu finished reading Hexi's urgent report, put down the paperwork, and sighed: "There will be big disturbances in the court again, and the Hexi Road pass, I'm afraid it will be sad! We are the same! "

Hearing what Wang Yinwu said, Wang Xuanzhen was a little puzzled, and said: "This matter, it should be that the law and order in Hexi has been corrupted, and the suppression of bandits is ineffective. What has it to do with my uncle? What has it to do with my Wu De Division?"

Wang Yinwu shook his head, and said lightly: "Wu Desi monitors the world, do you think we can be exempted from responsibility for this matter, and have nothing to do with it?"

"If the imperial court pursues it, I'm afraid it will involve ups and downs, so don't even think about it!" Wang Yinwu said with some regret: "Don't forget, we started our fortune from Hexi, regardless of other Daozhou, Hexi has problems. , even if I do not take the main responsibility, I will also be jointly and severally liable!"

"Here in the capital, we were the first to receive the news, right?" Wang Yinwu looked at Wang Xuanzhen.

Wang Xuanzhen nodded: "Yes!"

"Let me tell you the truth, right now, I don't know how to report to His Majesty!" Wang Yinwu looked like he was having a headache.
