"This subordinate is Xu Changqing. The two of them are the chief flags of my subordinates. Their names are Xu Bin and Xu Bing!”
The leading centurion answered honestly.
Duan Hu nodded in satisfaction.
There were not many people in the Brocade Guard that he could use.
And these three people met his requirements.
"Do you know why I chose you?”Duan Hu asked the three of them.
Xu Changqing and Xu Bin looked at each other and shook their heads.
"He used to serve in the border army, and his position was hereditary. He hasn't been promoted yet. It's rare for him to be in such a miserable state!”Duan Hu said.
After hearing Duan Hu's words, some of the three people's faces turned red.
The commander in front of them was telling the truth. However, they really couldn't do something like climbing up to power and wealth.
Not to mention climbing up to power and wealth, he had never even bribed the three of them.
But wasn't this what Duan Hu needed?
"Alright, from now on, the three of you will follow me.”Duan Hu said.
"Yes, sir!"
The three of them hurriedly nodded.
Although the three of them were not good at climbing up the social ladder, they were not fools. The reason Duan Hu chose them was because they did not have any complicated backgrounds.
To put it bluntly, it was clean!
"Get rid of all the people under you. Get rid of anyone who has anything to do with the court.”
Hearing Duan Hu's words, Xu Changqing felt awkward again.
He who keeps company with vermilion is red, and his subordinates are almost the same as him.
"Don't worry, my lord. Those brothers under me don't have any connections to the rich and powerful. They are all good people!”Xu Changqing said embarrassedly.
Actually, Duan Hu was just saying that. He roughly understood what was going on.
Although the Jinyiwei was a powerful department with prominent official positions and great power, the sons of the real nobles in the court or their relatives would not allow their family members to enter the Jinyiwei.
The reason was, of course, because the Jinyiwei had a bad reputation.
Most of the sons of the real nobles were working in the palace guards.
Most of the Jinyiwei were children of good families.
This was also one of the reasons why Wei Zhongxian was able to quickly control the Embroidered Uniform Guards.
"Alright, now gather your men and go to the imperial prison to specially vacate a few cells for interrogation!”
"Leave this matter to your subordinate. Follow me to capture her!”
After Duan Hu finished speaking, he stood up. Xu Changqing quickly nodded and instructed Xu Bin and Xu Bing to do their job.
According to Duan Hu's own deduction, the White Lotus Society's followers hidden in Shangjing were definitely not small.
The little cloud dragon had already said that when the saintess came, the deceased Chen Youliang had said that he wanted to call the disciples over to pay their respects.
However, she was rejected by the White Lotus Saintess.
To be able to sneak into Shangjing with weapons, Duan Hu would not believe that there was no one supporting him.
None of them were from Shuntian Prefecture. They did not have any clearance documents or anything to prove their identity. How did they enter the city?
Therefore, Duan Hu was prepared to follow the clues and find the root of the White Lotus Society.
"Who is in charge of the city defense outside Shangjing?”Duan Hu asked as they walked.
"Milord, the defense of Shangjing City is under the command of the Ministry of War. The 72 battalions in the city take turns on duty.”Xu Changqing followed behind Duan Hu and answered as they walked.
"Investigate who was on duty yesterday and which battalion.”Duan Hu said.
Before they arrived at the outer city, Duan Hu called the ten people he brought from Liaodong.
The group of people headed to the outer city of Shangjing in a grandiose manner.
It was the location of the Yongding Gate.
On the way, Xu Changqing had already sent people to investigate. The ones on duty at Yongding Gate yesterday were the lieutenant camp.
The lieutenant camp, the cook camp, and the guard camp were located in the south.
After learning about it, Duan Hu immediately led his subordinates to the lieutenant camp.
When the soldiers guarding the camp gate saw the group of Brocade Guards dressed in flying fish uniforms, their eyes widened.
Xu Changqing stood at the gate of the lieutenant camp with one hand on the embroidered spring knife.
"Call your commander out. The commander wants to ask questions.”Xu Changqing said to the soldiers at the camp gate.
The soldier's eyes surrendered to Duan Hu.
Seeing Duan Hu wearing a black python robe, he didn't dare to say anything more.
When the Brocade Guards did things, one of them was the imperial authority's special permission.
"Great Lord, our commander is not in the camp. After last night's duty, he…"
"Just what? What was there to hide? Do we have to go to the imperial prison to talk?"
Xu Changqing said with a frown. The soldier guarding the door was so scared that his face turned pale.
After entering the imperial prison, how many of them could still come out alive?
"No, no. After the commander went off duty, he went to the Bell Tower Street next to Shichahai.”The soldier said with a trembling voice.
Duan Hu frowned.
"General, Bell Tower Street is a famous place in Shangjing where brothels gather.”
"Every spring, the Shichahai will be filled with pleasure boats. Although it's winter now, the brothels are still open.”
"Moreover, there are many official prostitutes sent out by the Education Bureau.”
