Chapter 1658 The humble military envoy
Tokyo, Taketoshi.

The sky is getting colder, and there are layers of dark clouds above the sky. The sky and the earth are dark, which makes people feel depressed.In the yamen, Wu De envoy Wang Yinwu frowned deeply, flipping through the reports of the bandit suppression from the Northwest repeatedly, as if he wanted to sort out some clues from the messy information, but the result gave him a very headache, there were a lot of news, but useful facts few.

The successful conclusion of the Lu case made Wang Yinwu feel a little more at ease. Although it was unavoidable that he felt hurt, Emperor Liu did not keep his word and did not take any more actions, and let him continue to be in charge of the Wu De Department.

However, Wang Yinwu also knew very well that the positive performance before and after the Lu case was not enough for Emperor Liu to really let himself go.After that unprecedented and serious political incident, Emperor Liu's trust in him has been greatly reduced, and it can't even be said to be trusted.

In recent months, Wang Yinwu has always had a sense of urgency in his mind, and even wanted to escape, but he quickly dispelled that ridiculous and weak delusion.Being unable to escape is one aspect, and being reluctant to bear the power and position of Wude envoy is another aspect.

Therefore, after finishing the investigation of the Lu case, Wang Yinwu spent almost all his energy on the investigation of the Black Khan mission case and the military, political and civilian conditions in the Northwest. This was his last hope.

And the result was really unsatisfactory.The investigation of the case of the Black Khan Mission has progressed, whether it is from the mouth of the surviving groom, through the identification of the corpse left by the horse bandit, or even the information obtained during the bandit suppression process, all of which have provided a lot of evidence. The actions of hundreds of hummer bandits cannot be done quietly. Follow those clues, follow their tracks, and investigate all the way, at least confirm the "Singing Sand Bandits" as a force.

Even, the bandit leader "Lu Nan" was found, but at this point, it has come to a standstill. His identity, background, and whereabouts are still unknown mysteries.

Until late autumn, due to the inexplicable disappearance of mountain people after entering the mountain in the past few months, the Lingzhou government finally organized a group of people to go to the mountain to investigate. It was both accidental and inevitable to find the hidden camp and the remaining buildings with rotting masses of corpses.A scene of horror, both startling and delightful.

The officials of Northwest Wude Department, who were already exhausted, heard the news, and after screening, they quickly judged that this was the bandit who committed the mission case.

However, this extremely obvious behavior of silence is doomed to leave too many clues behind.Even if some clues were found from the corpses, even some well-known bandits and some belongings of the Black Khan Mission, the clues obtained were of some value, but they were not very high.

What's more, the situation is more serious than imagined. It is almost certain that this is no longer some daring bandit, but a real rebel force. This nature is too serious.

At this point in the investigation of the matter, the situation has become very clear. Wu Desi's hard work for several months has not been in vain, but the result is really not optimistic.

In this regard, I can barely make a survey report and report to Emperor Liu, but it does not quench my thirst. In the case of "South", how can this matter be explained to the past, and even his true identity remains to be investigated.

Of course, Wang Yinwu's headaches are not limited to this. At least, compared with the chaos a few months ago, all kinds of strange things, now that he has a prepared investigation object, he can start again at most.

Those traitors, if they are able to commit the big Hexi case, it is impossible to stop, as long as they continue to move, they will show their feet sooner or later.

What worries Wang Yinwu is that some equally serious problems have been discovered during the crackdown on public security across the country and the investigation of the military, political and civilian conditions in the Northwest.

The corruption of law and order is not only due to the inaction of local officials or poor governance, but also because of the many conflicts among the people. The situation is particularly obvious in the northwest and northern provinces that are the key investigation targets.

From the restlessness in the prison camps in various parts of the north, it can be seen that some policies of the Han Dynasty are suffering more and more resistance as time goes by.

And the groups who are dissatisfied with the imperial court seem to be increasing too. Immigrants to the border areas have been implemented. Compared with more than 20 years ago, the power of the Han people in the border areas has indeed increased, but not all Han people are of one mind with the imperial court. Many people are dissatisfied with the status quo, committing crimes in various parts of the Northwest, trying to challenge the authority of the imperial court is definitely not a small group, there are several families that are exposed, and even more hidden ones.

As for the Hu Min minority, it was a perennial problem. The horse bandits in the Northwest were repeatedly banned, and there must be the support of those border Hu people.The goal of using the Han to control the Hu has been partially achieved, and the contradiction between the Hu and the Han has also become a normal state. But on the other hand, in the investigation of the Wu De Division, there are many cases of collusion between the Hu and the Han.

All kinds of contradictions, all kinds of conflicts, accumulated so far, have formed a chronic disease, seriously affecting the stability of the Northwest region, and the civil and military people in the Northwest seem to have become lazy and lazy in a long period of peace and ease, and their restraint has been greatly reduced.

A major rectification of the officialdom, supplemented by a thorough law and order suppression of bandits, eliminated the rising contradictions to a certain extent, and the various beasts and beasts also settled down a lot, but they did not cure the root cause, and contradictions and crises always existed.

And Wang Yinwu is almost certain that, as Emperor Liu said, there are indeed some people or forces in the northwest that endanger the rule of the Han Dynasty. I don't know how long they have been developing or how long they have been hidden, but they are already ready to move.

The chill brought by the early winter season could not dispel the hotness in Wang Yinwu's heart. He threw the official document in his hand on the desk, rubbed his temple vigorously with his hand, and let out a long sigh.

However, within a few months, Wang Yinwu, who has always been strong and strong, has become much haggard and aged. During this period, the pressure on his body and mind is unimaginable.

"Uncle!" Wang Xuanzhen walked in and bowed.

"What's the matter?" Taking a deep breath, Wang Yinwu tried his best to adjust his mood and asked.

"There is a notification from the palace, Your Majesty is calling!"

Hearing this, Wang Yinwu couldn't sit still, he got up quickly and said, "Where is the visitor?"

"Tea in the living room!"

"How can you be so negligent?"

"Just a servant, not a famous official!" Wang Xuanzhen said.

Hearing this, Wang Yinwu smiled wryly and said: "The current situation of the old man, not to mention Zhang Dejun, even anyone close to His Majesty, you can't afford to offend!"

Seeing Wang Yinwu's appearance of worrying about gains and losses and being timid, Wang Xuanzhen opened his mouth, but he couldn't say anything.As a falcon dog, a keen sense of smell is a must. Wang Yinwu's changes in the past few months, how could he not be aware of them?

"Get 100 taels of silver!" Wang Yinwu did not forget to order when he went to meet the guests.

"Yes!" Wang Xuanzhen agreed behind him, but couldn't help frowning, he couldn't help but look down on this uncle with such behavior.When did the dignified martial arts envoy become so humble?
In the Chongzheng Hall, when the pair of monarchs and ministers meet now, there is always a trace of strangeness in the air, Wang Yinwu is still trembling, and Emperor Liu is still majestic and terrifying.

Perhaps, the weird thing is people's hearts. No matter how hard Wang Yinwu tried, it was difficult to dispel Emperor Liu's knots. Looking at him, he would only become more and more unpleasant.

Emperor Liu's summoning was naturally for the affairs of the northwest, and Wang Yinwu did not dare to hide anything any more, and reported the investigation of Wu Desi, no matter how big or small.

With the foreshadowing of the previous reports, although Emperor Liu's face was not very good-looking, he did not fly into a rage.He just got up, stood under the huge map, and stared at the northwest.

After a long time, when Wang Yinwu became more and more uneasy, he finally sighed quietly: "It seems that the Northwest needs to be cleaned up thoroughly. In the past, too many details were left behind, causing the legacy to this day!"

Although a large part of the reason for the situation in the northwest was caused by policies, how could Emperor Liu reflect on and question his policy of long-term stability?The solution is to kill those traitors one by one.

"You go back first, and continue to investigate!" Emperor Liu didn't have any more instructions for Wang Yinwu, but only lightly ordered.

"Yes!" Emperor Liu's indifferent gaze really made one's heart palpitate, he bowed his hands anxiously, and said with a guilty conscience: "I will definitely find out those traitors!"

Emperor Liu was noncommittal and waved his hands casually.

After Wang Yinwu retreated, Emperor Liu said coldly: "This person can't even be a Wude envoy now!"
