Chapter 46 Opening the government

"Thank you very much." Xu Jinghong got up and bowed his hand to thank him. He did not call the other party his father-in-law or anything, although the other party's identity is indeed the same, which is also a kind of respect for Huang Yue. And this really made Huang Yue very satisfied. He nodded with a smile and said, "It's getting late. Do you have anything else to ask? If not, I will go back."

"There is one more hope that the seniors can satisfy me." Xu Jinghong walked to the door and opened the door: "I hope to see the masters you mentioned, otherwise how can I use them in the future?"

"Oh, I forgot!" Huang Yue also came to the door, and then stretched out his hand and patted it twice.

The crisp applause was not far away, and after the applause dissipated, more than a dozen dark shadows came straight this way. Although they can't see their appearance clearly, the murderous spirit emanating from these people still makes Xu Jinghong sure that they are indeed rare masters and masters who are good at killing.

These twelve people are named after the twelve zodiac animals and twelve hours. They are Minzi Rat, Han Chou Niu, Meng Yin Tiger, Ling Mao Rabbit, Teng Chen Long, Yin Si Snake, Xiao Wu Ma, Zhi Wei Yang, Xie Shen Monkey, Ming You Chicken, Zhongxu Dog and Stupid Hai Pig. Huang Yue pointed to the twelve people in black and came out their code names one by one: "They only have this code name, and they have no other identities."

Xu Jinghong carefully looked at the twelve people in front of him through the moonlight. They were tall, fat and thin, and there was a mask on their heads, so that they could not see their appearance at all. Only the shining eyes came out of the hole of the mask. He couldn't help but be a little surprised that the martial arts of these twelve people were at least not much worse than his own. How did the emperor find them? Also, why are these people so willing to be anonymous in this kind of role?

Huang Yue did not mean to explain this question. He just said to the twelve people: "The twelve zodiac animals, from today on, you will obey Xu Dusi's orders, and no matter what instructions can be postponed, do you understand?"

"Yes!" Without too many words, twelve people answered in a low voice at the same time.

"Very well, you will be by his side secretly in the future. When I need you to do something, I will greet you." Xu Jinghong was quite satisfied with their attitude. After nodding, he said to Huang Yue, "In this way, I can cooperate with you with all my strength."

"I hope you won't let your majesty down and make a big deal in this position of the national security division." Huang Yue seemed to remind and say a wish, and then disappeared into the darkness with the twelve people.

After seeing them disappear, Xu Jinghong showed a strange look on his face: "This emperor is really interesting. He actually raised such a group of killers as his cronies. Few people in the world will know that Shadow Killing Hall is actually under the emperor's hands, right? After all, he has lived in this era for many years, and the news that there are top killers such as the twelve zodiac is naturally clear. Compared with the title image of these twelve people, this conclusion can naturally be reached.

"With the help of these guys, my strength has naturally increased a lot. However, the current top priority can still make Guoansi stand up quickly, but I don't know if they have the ability to do so. Finally, Xu Jinghong put his mind on the matter of Guoan and slowly walked back to the room.

The thin camel is bigger than the horse. This sentence is indeed true. Although the emperor has been suppressed by the family and has almost no power to govern, his hidden power is still not small. When Xu Jinghong had no way for a while, everything turned around again through the emperor's efforts to hide his hands in the court.

A few days later, the Ministry of Household has agreed to allocate a sum of money to Xu Jinghong's Guoan Department to prepare for the construction of the government and recruit all kinds of people. And a few days later, good news came from the Ministry of Industry. Not only has a house that has been used for a long time in the city as the location of the government office of the National Security Division, but also sent many craftsmen to repair many damaged houses for them.

At the end of July, Guoansi actually appeared in Daliang City. What is missing now is to choose an auspicious day and open the government. In addition, Xu Jinghong also recruited a lot of people through various channels and became the internal and external service of the National Security Department.

Some of these people were selected from the patrol camp through the documents of the Ministry of War. In fact, there is no need to choose any more. The patrol battalion soldiers who once dealt with the underworld in Beijing with Xu Jinghong are very appetizing for him, and these people also want to follow this generous boss. The only thing to do is Meng Huchong. Fortunately, Xu Jinghong has done his work well in public and private, so he has not suffered any difficulties.

The public side is the document of the Ministry of War, which is enough for Meng Huchong to refuse. On the private side, he sent nearly 10,000 taels of silver to the general. In this way, the patrol camp, which was not very in charge, handed over these men to Xu Jinghong.

Of course, it is not completely opposed by no one. So many of his men have been poached, and many of the generals in the patrol camp still have opinions. However, because their identity was not enough, Meng Hu stamped it, and in the end they failed to make any waves. However, what Xu Jinghong didn't know was that he had offended some people in the patrol camp, and these people were bound to come back.

Of course, in addition to these soldiers, the National Security Department, as a permanent government in the capital, still needs some other personnel. More than 20 officials were selected by the Ministry of Officials. These people have been waiting for a real difference. Now they are very satisfied to enter such a government, and they also respect Xu Jinghong, a young boss.

And the more important group of people were personally taken care of by Xu Jinghong. These are some idle men and scoundrels who are idle in various places in the capital. Xu Jinghong knows that what he is going to go as the internal guard of the Tang Dynasty, the Imperial City Department in the Song Dynasty, and the Jinyiwei in the Ming Dynasty, which requires as many secret eyes and eyes as possible. These idle men and scoundrels are all over the capital and are the most ideal spy roles.

However, these people are also the most reassuring. Xu Jinghong now has only selected more than 30 people who look reliable as the eyeliner of the National Security Department. Of course, the selection of these hands is carried out behind their backs and recruited under the guise of recruiting handymans.

Xu Jinghong's requirements for these detectives are also very simple. Usually, they just do their previous careers. Once the government needs them to do something, these people must exert their ability to search for information through their own circles. As long as the information is accurate, there will naturally be no less rewards.

However, Xu Jinghong did not put his expectations on these people. He already had a further plan to wait for the Guoan government to really stand up before taking the next step.

And his brothers also obtained some positions according to their abilities. Those who are grumpy and able to fight like Xiong Geng have been assigned to the arrest team. If there are criminals to be caught in the future, they will naturally be indispensable. Wang Liehai and the old dog were so calm that they were left by Xu Jinghong's side. At least before Sun Zaiyuan came to Beijing, they were his counselors. In addition, some of the elites led by Mao Shun were also scattered as secret agents, but their goal was to see if these people were bought by others.

In this way, with both inside and outside, light and darkness, Xu Jinghong's team, the first force in this era, has finally been fully established. Now only waiting for the fourth day of August, the auspicious day of the selected zodiac will be opened.

The fourth day of August arrived quickly. In the sound of gongs and drums, the gate of Guoan Division, which had been repainted and renovated, was slowly pushed open. Then Xu Jinghong led a hundred people and strode into the government gate of the National Security Division.

In the surrounding streets, many people look at this new government house with curiosity. Their hearts are full of doubts about what this Guoan Division does and whether it will affect their lives.

Amman, there are some people who dress the same as them, but with other purposes are also watching the establishment of Guoan Si Yamen. In the eyes of these people, they are either worried, contemptuous, or hate...

Anyway, this new government, which has never appeared in the officialdom of the Song Dynasty, still appears in front of everyone, and it is about to make great changes to the situation of the Song Dynasty, which has become frozen...
