People at the gates of various cities in the early morning discovered that the guards guarding the city were particularly strict in interrogating today, and the number was double that of usual.

"Do you think something happened? Or are you arresting someone?" One of the businessmen whispered to his companions.

"Probably not. I haven't heard of anything big happening."

"I'll find out soon after I go to the city and ask around."

Several familiar businessmen were discussing together. There were a few people lining up at the back dressed like old farmers, but they would glance at the front from time to time.

One of them whispered: "The guards are so tight. Fortunately, they listened to the squad leader. They didn't bring weapons."

"Yes. The squad leader said he would find a way to transport weapons into the city."

"The leader told everyone to spread out and not gather to avoid being noticed. But what should I do if I don't have money? If I don't find a place to stay at night, wouldn't it be a failure if the patrolling Jinwu guards find me?"

"Keep your voice down, we'll figure it out later when we get into the city."

These people are the ones participating in the assessment. Xue Rengui had told them the request last night. Entering the city today, counting from tomorrow, you will have three days without being caught. Those who did not enter the city will be eliminated today, and those who were caught while entering the city will be eliminated. In addition to testing how to bring weapons into the city, this level also tests the psychological quality.

"Stop, don't run." Just then someone ran out from the front. Several military guards were also chasing after him.

"Stop. Stop running and shooting arrows."

At this moment, a general chased him out on horseback from the city gate. In a moment, he reached the person running in front and knocked him down with a whip. Several military guards came forward to hold the person down and tie him with a rope.

"He ran very fast. Search him," the general said jokingly while sitting on his horse.

Several military guards rummaged around on him and finally found a piece of paper in his shoe. The general opened it and took a look at it and said, "Yes, it's them. King Ji said he would be sent to the military camp to starve for three days."

The man just stood up and heard the general's words and shouted: "No way. You don't have to be like this. It's unlucky enough to be caught by you. Are you still hungry for three days?"

"Brother, this is your prince's wish. Just accept your fate. Don't worry, I will give you water." The general also felt sad for him. It's too awful.

Scenes like this happen from time to time at various city gates. The main reason is that the guards have low psychological quality and feel guilty when they see the officers and soldiers making inquiries. It's easy to spot someone's flaws at a glance. Just like a criminal who has the courage to commit a crime but unconsciously panics and avoids the police when he sees it.

The morning passed quickly. In Liangyi Hall, Li Shimin had just had lunch and was resting.

"Li An, how many suspicious people have been caught?" Li Shimin asked

"Your Majesty, I just reported that seven people have been arrested. One of them is an assessor, and six of them are thieves who have wandered over. They are preparing to commit crimes in Chang'an." Li An was also surprised when he heard the news. There are also unexpected gains.

When these six people were arrested, they also lamented that the capital was indeed extraordinary. The guards guarding the gate are so capable. The guards were so tight and I wouldn't have come if I had known. I originally thought that there were many rich people in Chang'an, so I wanted to make a fortune and fly away. As a result, he was arrested without even entering the city gate.

"Oh, you still caught six thieves? It seems that Lao Shi is right. This time is also the time to test the abilities of each guard. In the past few years, I have also found that the guards are a bit slack.

This is what Lao Shi meant when he said peace has been too long. Li An, please have someone record the detailed actions of each guard, the command personnel, etc.

Send someone to Li Zhiming's side to take notes. There must also be guards in the action team to record and observe but are not allowed to participate. Anyone who disobeys the order will be punished with fifty military sticks. "Li Zhiming is the general who led the [-] feathered forest guards this time and belongs to the royal family. His father Li Yuan conquered the world.

In fact, the commanders of the entire Bei Ya Forbidden Army were basically from the clan, and most of the twelve guards in Nan Ya were from the prince's family. These people are relatively loyal, because they are the aristocrats of the Tang Dynasty. If Datang is gone. They are no longer nobles.

On this day, a total of 370 four assessors were captured from Guancheng Gate. This made Li Shen very dissatisfied, so he reduced his number by one-tenth as soon as he entered a city. If it hadn't been for a year of training, wouldn't the whole army have been wiped out?

Compared with Li Shen's dissatisfaction, Li Shimin was very angry. 3000 people came in and more than 600 people came. Is Chang'an City still safe? If 5000 people come in tomorrow, that's [-] troops, and Li Shen said that all the people coming in are armed.

Five thousand armed forces. All the armed forces in Chang'an City are only 12. If he had these people come in every day, there would be tens of thousands of people in ten days. In an instant, Li Shimin felt that the palace was not safe, and Li Shimin decided to rectify the imperial army.

That night, suspicious characters were spotted in many places, and fights also broke out. People in many places in Chang'an City are hiding at home and dare not go out. Until dawn, only a dozen people were caught, and the rest ran away. Let the commander of the Jinwu Guards become furious at the patrolling captains.

Today's Jingyao Gate is different from usual. There are [-] Yu Lin Guards standing at the gate. The leader is none other than Li Zhiming, General Yulin Wei, who is in the fourth rank.

He has received news that there are still 600 people in the city who need to be captured. Originally, he thought it would be good to have 800 people sneaking into the capital with weapons.

Zuo Wuwei, who was guarding the gate, was not a vegetarian, but who knew that so many people had sneaked in and all brought this weapon. He was a general and had been familiar with military literature since he was a child. He knew how much impact these two thousand or six hundred people would have if they were really enemies if they sneaked into Chang'an.

"Humph, it's time for the Nanya Guard Station to be reorganized." Li Zhiming thought of Li An chatting with him and said that Li Shimin was dissatisfied with so many people sneaking in this time and wanted to reorganize the army. And he also said that he must catch all the assessors.

The city gate opened, and Li Zhiming said to the various captains and generals behind him: "According to the plan made last night, after entering the city, enter the workshops they are responsible for. When interrogating suspicious persons, remember not to disturb the people. Even if you are interrogating, you must first Please comfort me. If anyone bullies the people and robs their finances, let me know. He will be beheaded in public. Do you hear me clearly?"

"Follow your orders," said many captains and generals.

"Okay, let's enter the city. There will be left and right military guards and left and right Jinwu guards with us. Don't conflict." After Li Zhiming finished speaking, he took the lead into the city.

After entering the city, the Yulin Guards were divided into more than [-] teams according to the plan, and took turns patrolling in [-] directions, while the Wuwei and Jinwu Guards would also follow them separately, because they were more familiar with the terrain of Chang'an.

Due to the entry of the Forbidden Army and the dispatch of the Jinwu Guards, the people in Chang'an began to become nervous. The official reason given was that a thief had sneaked into Chang'an with evil intentions. Everyone is advised to be vigilant and report to the authorities if they find suspicious persons.

The first targets of the patrolling officers and soldiers were various restaurants, post houses, hotels (the places where people stayed in the Tang Dynasty could also be called Nilv, Dishe, Guanshe, hostel, hotel, village shop), brothels, brothels and other places where they could stay.
