[Chapter 381] It seems that I have touched the outline of the Mujianshe...

(0381)

However, it is regrettable that after Wang Qinian's interrogation, it was discovered that Sobud was not clear about the core organizational structure of the Mujian Society. What Sobud knew was that there was indeed a secret organization of the Mujian Society, and this secret organization was indeed related to the descendants of the royal family of the Western Xia Kingdom in the past. Apart from this, there was not much valuable. Most of the content he explained was inferred by himself.

In fact, Sobude was just a guess as to whether Li Guozhen was really the leader of the Mujian Society. In order to survive, he insisted that Li Guozhen was the leader of the Mujian Society. However, after careful questioning, his answer was full of loopholes and inconsistent. It can be seen that he was indeed lying. Xu Xingxia could still see this little trick. As for Wang Qinian, he was even more of an old hand, and he could tell it with a glance.

So, after someone took Sobud away, Xu Xingxia discussed with Wang Qinian to touch the foundation of this Mujian Society. They believed that some of the information provided by Sobud was still credible. With the power of the Jinyiwei, it would not be very difficult to investigate this Mujian Society. Of course, all investigations were carried out in secret. If Li Guozhen was really the boss of Mujian Society, it means that the strength of this Mujian Society should still be very strong. Before understanding the basic situation of Mujian Society, Xu Xingxia did not want to expose himself rashly.

Now, more than half a month has passed, and Wang Qinian's investigation should have resulted in some results before he came to find himself. As an intelligence veteran of the Jinyiwei, if he really put his mind to investigate something, and Xu Xingxia could give him enough manpower, material resources, and financial resources, there was no intelligence that he could not get.

Xu Xingxia smiled and said, "Old Wang, please sit down!"

Wang Qinian sat down and said slowly: "It's certain that the Mujian Society does exist. I have seen some records of Jinyiwei and Dongchang in Ningxia Town, and mentioned that there were some strange phenomena in Ningxia Town. At that time, I didn't pay much attention. After all, Ningxia Town was not under my jurisdiction. I was also discouraged at that time and didn't want to manage things. Now that I think about it, these phenomena are very likely related to this mysterious Mujian Society."

He looked through the information in his hand and said in an orderly manner: "In the past ten years, more than 500 people in Ningxia Town's army have mysteriously disappeared. Note that it is disappearing. The senior officials of Ningxia Town announced to the public that they were killed in battle and that they had not even recovered their bodies. However, their families can receive money and food on time every month. The senior officials explained that they performed very well before their death and could also receive money and food subsidies after their death."

"This makes people very suspicious. The average death-dead people have no other subsidies except for meager pensions. If these benefits are available, the military households will not get up all day long to make money. But why can the families of these people be treated preferentially? What did the dead, or the disappearing people do to make the senior management pay so much attention and treat them so well? This is a doubt."

"I also carefully investigated the identity information of these people who disappeared or died in battle, and found that they all have one thing in common. They are all outstanding masters in the war system or the guard system. Several of them are all first-class warriors in the army. I wonder why they are always killed in battle? If only one or a few people died in battle, there is nothing to doubt. But, there are a total of five hundred! Anyone with some skills will die, which is too abnormal! This is doubtful point two."

"When I was investigating, I accidentally discovered that in the camp of a certain garrison in Ningxia City, the ones stationed were not guarding the garrison. However, they were not soldiers. They claimed to the outside world that this was just a material reserve warehouse, and they were all guarding the warehouse. As for what kind of troops it was, it is still unknown. This is the third question."

"According to the clues you provided, I also investigated who had dealt with the mysterious black-clothed archers who were killed after Sawanna was assassinated that day. As a result, it would be fine if they were not investigated. After investigation, I found that the person responsible for handling the corpses was Li Guozhen's private servant! Queen Khurashan was assassinated, and Li Guozhen's reinforcements came very late, but they seemed very active in handling the assassin's corpse. Why is this? This is the fourth question."

"I felt that Li Guozhen might have really had problems. Through some relationships, I checked some information about the General Officer's Office and the Governor's Office before. I unexpectedly found that when Sawanna was assassinated, Governor Li Maohui was actually at Li Guozhen's home and was drunk by Li Guozhen. This made me suspect that Li Guozhen was deliberately designing to make Li Maohui lose consciousness and ability to move, so as to facilitate his own actions."

"Because, once Li Maohui is awake and Sa Wanna is assassinated, he will definitely mobilize troops to rescue immediately. His power is greater than that of Li Guozhen. All the troops in Ningxia Town are directly mobilized by him. He can directly cross Li Guozhen to command the army. His responsibility is also greater than that of Li Guozhen. If Sa Wanna encounters any accident, he will probably be the one who is beaten. His reaction must be fast. This is doubtful point five."

After listening quietly, Xu Xingxia said expectantly: "Apart from these five doubts, is there any other one?"

Wang Qinian nodded and said, "Of course there is. But I can't explain it myself. The sixth suspicion is Li Maohui's reaction. Sawanna was assassinated and Li Guozhen was slow to act and delayed the fighter plane. Li Maohui, who was originally the governor, had a very bad relationship with Li Guozhen. He should have taken the blame and beat Li Guozhen hard. As long as he was a civil servant, he knew how to operate. But strangely, this time, Li Maohui did not deal with Li Guozhen at all, as if nothing had happened."

"The seventh suspicious point is related to Prince Qing's Mansion. Sa Wanna was invited by Prince Qing's Mansion. She was suddenly assassinated. Logically, Prince Qing's Mansion should make a big move and investigate the murderer behind the scenes. As we all know, the relationship between Prince Qing's Mansion and Li Guozhen is not very good. At this time, it should be a good opportunity to attack Li Guozhen. However, strangely, Prince Qing's Mansion has no other actions except for revealing Sa Wanna's identity. No further action was taken against Li Guozhen. This is somewhat unreasonable."

Xu Xingxia nodded slowly and said deeply: "Will there be any exchange of interests here?"

Wang Qinian shook his head and said, "I haven't discovered it yet. The Qing Palace has money, land, and Li Guozhen has an army. If the two sides want to exchange interests, they can only unite to rebel. Obviously, this is impossible. Dongchang and Jinyiwei are both watching this very closely. If they have signs of unity, Li Guozhen would have been dealt with long ago."

After pausing for a while, Wang Qinian said with some emotion: "However, this is the first time I have heard of the name of Mujianshe. Perhaps it is because I am not of sufficient level and cannot access relevant information. Logically speaking, such an organization has been hidden for so many years and cannot be unaware of it. I believe that there must be information from Mujianshe in the archives of the Jinyiwei Experience Department."

Xu Xingxia nodded thoughtfully and said slowly: "I guess the Prince Qing Mansion should know something. On that day, the first person to arrive at the assassination scene was the Prince Qing Mansion. If they didn't know the existence of the Mujian Society, it would be impossible. However, they probably wouldn't know much, otherwise Sa Wanna wouldn't be in danger."

Wang Qinian said hesitantly: "The energy of the Prince Qing Mansion is too great, and there are many talented and ambitious people on the outside, many of them are Hu people from all over the Western Regions. If we continue to investigate, they may notice it, then..."

Xu Xingxia said firmly: "This clue is very important, we must continue to investigate!"

After pausing slightly, Xu Xingxia said again: "Also, I feel that Hu Yan Aobo from Prince Qing's Mansion is also a problem. As the housekeeper of Prince Qing's Mansion, he must have a lot of secrets. On that day, the person who led the team to rescue Sa Wanna was also this Hu Yan Aobo. His appearance was really a coincidence. Well, no, it was definitely not a coincidence. There must be some internal connections in this. If you can trace it, you might as well find out his background. If you encounter a problem, you can come to me at any time!"

Wang Qinian nodded and agreed to go.

After he left, Xu Xingxia stood up and paced back and forth in the room.

"Mujianshe, Mujianshe, what kind of organization are you? What exactly do you want to do?" Xu Xingxia suddenly looked up at the roof and muttered to herself.

There is no doubt that the appearance of the Yujian Society has a deep conspiracy. In particular, it is related to the Xia Kingdom hundreds of years ago, which makes people easily think of the four words "revolutionary country". Throughout history, it is so common for the remnants of the previous dynasty to rebel and restore the original dynasty. Novels, TV and movies about this conspiracy are simply a mess. However, Xu Xingxia did not expect that the small Ningxia town had such an organization lurking in such a conspiracy.

By the way, the Western Xia Kingdom has been destroyed for four or five hundred years, and its royal family has almost disappeared. Now it suddenly jumped out and wanted to create a rebellious country, which gives people the feeling that it is more absurd, rather than shocking. Your Western Xia Kingdom was destroyed by the *** people. During the Mongol Empire, you didn’t get up to rebel, but it was rebelled only in the Ming Dynasty. Is this a bit time changing? Of course, this is not completely impossible. Other Murong Fu is a descendant of the Xianbei people and tried to rebel, and it was a complete gap between five or six hundred years.

However, this is not the most eye-catching. What is most eye-catching is that if the Mujian Society really existed for many years, then the Jinyiwei and the Dongchang would not be unaware of it. Even the Qingwang Mansion knew that there was no airtight wall in this world. If there was such an organization in Ningxia Town, it would be an organization of activities. The smartness of the Dongchang and the Jinyiwei would not be unaware of it. If they really didn't know, then everyone could go and eat shit.

However, why did the Mujian Society survive until now? Why did the Dongchang and Jinyiwei not take action in time? Why did the imperial court and the emperor not take action in time? Don’t tell me that when the emperor learned that the descendants of the royal family of the Western Xia Kingdom had set up a Mujian Society in Ningxia Town, he would ignore it and ignore it. Even an absurd emperor like Zhengde cannot ignore it at all! What’s more, there are cabinets and six ministries!

Any dynasty is the most sensitive to words such as rebellion and rebellion. As long as it involves a little bit, it is better to kill three thousand by mistake and never let go of a situation. An organization like the Mujianshe will survive until now and will not be hit. If the court strikes hard, the Mujianshe will definitely be destroyed! Then why did the imperial court not give it a heavy blow? Don't tell me that all the big bosses in the imperial court are very kind and reluctant to die, so they turn a blind eye and just live by it.

There is only one possibility, that is, the superior knows the existence of the Mujian Society, and may also know the details of the Mujian Society, but there is no intention to crack down. In other words, the existence of the Mujian Society is beneficial to them. Simply put, it is the existence of interest relations. So, what kind of interest game is there among them? If there is an interest game between them and they step in it, what consequences will there be?

If it is just a simple game of interest, then that's fine. Some people have a world, and there is a world of interest. As long as you live in this world, it is impossible to avoid the entanglement of interests. The problem is that no one knows whether party struggles will be involved in this. The game of interest is a very simple thing, and party struggles are much more complicated. In the game of interest, at worst, you can temporarily retreat and make a comeback in the future. However, once you fall into party struggles, it will be difficult to protect your life! Even the chief assistant of the court will be in a party struggle!

In the late Wanli period, the party struggles in the court had reached a heightened point, and even the always strong Emperor Wanli had no ability to stop them. The only thing he could do was to balance the forces of each party as much as possible and not let a certain party dominate. Unfortunately, by the later period, the rise of the Donglin Party was no longer something that Emperor Wanli could stop. Even if the leader of the Donglin Party, Ye Xianggao, resigned from his position as chief minister, the strength of the Donglin Party was still strong.

In the 45th year of Wanli, the party struggles were still fierce. There was no doubt that the power of the Donglin Party was the most powerful. There were a large number of Donglin Party members in the court. They were united and launched a resolute blow to those with different political views. For a while, the limelight was unmatched. However, the energy of the Zhejiang Party, Chu Party, Qi Party, Kun Party and other forces should not be underestimated. They fought alone with the Donglin Party, obviously not the opponents of the Donglin Party. However, if they united and secretly attacked, the Donglin Party could also suffer a lot of losses.

It can be said that in the late Wanli period, the court spent every day in such party struggles. Most officials were not concerned about how to do things or what to do, but what to fight today, who to protect, who to defeat, and what to get. Every night, countless people were secretly planning how to start and end tomorrow. When the night was late, countless people were racking their brains to think about how to kill their opponents.

They all turned red and were bare-chested, wishing to tear their opponents into pieces in the court. To be honest, they were not civil servants, but a group of jackals. The political affairs of the country were no longer political affairs, but a means of attack. Good things may become bad because of attacking each other. Bad things may become worse because of attacking each other. In short, after fighting, you must never expect good things.

In the late Wanli period, there is no doubt that the most busy officials in the court were the censors of the Censorate. Whether they were the censors stationed in the capital or the censors stationed in various places, they were the vanguards of the party struggle and the main force of the party struggle. Anything that happens, they are the first to be dispatched. Their impeachment memorials are the main form of the party struggle. If one day, the impeachment memorials of the Censorate have less than 100 copies, you will be embarrassed to say hello to others. Don’t underestimate these memorials, as one or several officials may lose their lives at any time. If you are not careful, your whole life will be on it.

In order to stabilize the power in their hands, the Donglin Party's approach is extremely extreme and has completely reversed the right and wrong. Their xenophobia has reached the point of being indiscriminate. As long as you go against us, no matter what you do, even if you take the initiative to support the old lady across the road, you are wrong or you are wrong so wrong that you cannot forgive and must go to the guillotine. As long as you follow us, even if you forcefully rob women, extort, and gain personal pockets, you are right, or you are right to keep your name in history and remember forever.

This one-size-fits-all approach will certainly attract many people's counterattacks. The Donglin Party is so aggressive that no one can stand it! Unless you are willing to give up the tempting power! Are you willing to give up the power? Of course you are not willing! Since you can't fight alone, you can only unite. This union was not particularly obvious in the Wanli period, but after Emperor Tianqi ascended the throne, it was very obvious. If the Donglin Party had not been very extreme, there would be so many civil and military officials around Wei Zhongxian.

In fact, to be precise, the major forces gathered around Wei Zhongxian are actually the consortium of the Zhejiang Party, Chu Party, Zhejiang Party, Kun Party, etc. It can be said that they were headed by Wei Zhongxian and united to attack the Donglin Party together. Otherwise, would the Donglin Party be so passive? Without these people, Wei Zhongxian would be just an old eunuch with no power to catch a chicken, and there was nothing to be afraid of at all.
