Intelligence agencies are originally tools for "dirty work". The methods are despicable and shameless, which is reasonable. Of course, the most basic limit is still needed. Now, Yuwen Wen is very satisfied with Fu Youcai and his subordinates' "understanding".

This is a level performance.

This matter has been done, but Yuwen Wen is quite interested in the "Shitaxi" methods. He asked Fu Youcai to introduce a few more "successful cases" and share his experiences to see how to do things well and have a good reputation at some point.

Just like an old driver flirting with girls, he is tired of playing and throws people away. The girl is still thinking about it without any resentment. If she can reach this level, she is considered a master.

Just like a superpower in later generations, dealing with "dangerous elements" does not involve simple and crude direct arrests or torture, but rather enforces the law, turning the target into a client, an addict, a scumbag, a pedophile, etc., and arrests him on this grounds and sentences him to prison.

He cleverly arrested and locked up the person with irrelevant charges, but his true intentions were covered up without any trace, and public opinion was not easy to gossip, and he would not sympathize with the arrested person.

Such as the violent law enforcement of Jinyiwei's open fire-like arrests, it is majestic and intimidating, but its reputation is negative. Yuwen Wen feels that his minions should not be like this.

Since he ascended the throne, he has often been depressed by some "dog officials", but often he cannot rely on murder to solve the problem.

If you encounter a bastard who is similar to the Ming Dynasty's cheating stick to gain reputation, it will be as disgusting as possible.

The court stick was a means of punishment for ministers by the emperors of the Ming Dynasty. It was to use a board to hit the ministers on the butt on the palace. The minor ones were seriously injured, and the unfortunate ones were killed immediately under the stick. It was a terrifying punishment and represented the supreme imperial power.

But later, being given a court stick became a shortcut to gaining fame, because many civil servants were proud of being given a court stick, and even deliberately made the emperor angry (small anger) in order to get beaten, and then being given a slap as they wished, and their reputation rose.

Of course, Yuwen Wen did not set up any court sticks because he thought there was no need to use this method to humiliate the ministers. It would be more appropriate to use exile, so that these officials would be distracted from the center of power. It would be a bad feeling.

But it is not good to exile people for a few trivial matters at any time. Moreover, although there is no court stick, it does not mean that some officials cannot "smack the car".

For example, when he saw that he was in a bad mood when he went to court, someone would write a letter to advise him not to "indulge in wine and sex" and "take care of the dragon body". Yu Wen Wen was not easy to get angry, and it was even harder to explain, because the more he explained, the more he felt guilty.

He just stayed up late on a whim the night before yesterday to design a steam crane, but it was said that he was "absorbed with wine and sex" and was like a fool. He could not kill people, otherwise he would become a tyrant who did not listen to advice, so he could only settle the matter with "I know".

Now, for some officials who have made a name for themselves, Yuwen Wen feels that there are new means to punish them.

It is better to set up a plan to ruin the other party's reputation, such as "playing with a little lady in Lefang and not giving money", "hitting a friend and a concubine", etc., so that he can't stay in the officialdom, so he can only resign in shame and go back to his hometown and stay in the door.

This method is like killing people without blood with a soft knife, but it is enough to make life worse than death. If there is a bastard like a cheating stick jump out in the future, Yuwen Wen will definitely make the other party want to die.

Of course, dealing with officials is not the responsibility of the police, but the means are the same.

Yuwen Wen and Fu Youcai talked for a while, but left the office, but did not return to the palace immediately, but instead went to the archives for inspection.

The archives of the Anti-Japanese Police Office cover a large area and the warehouse is heavily guarded. There are a large number of archives stored in the cabinets in the warehouse. These archives record the personal and family situations of each insider who "cooperates" with the Anti-Japanese Police Office, and even portraits.

In the era when there were no cameras, you could only rely on sketches to leave a portrait for a person. The sketching masters in the police station could draw the appearance of the target in a very short time, which can be said to be a "human camera".

Of course, the police officers and criminal police officers of the police station can do this, so it is nothing special to be a portrait.

Similarly, it is useless to build files just because the more insiders you buy, the news collected on weekdays is enough to make people feel a splitting headache after reading it, because it is really laborious to find useful news from many meaningless gossips.

One day or two, one month or two months, maybe it's okay. If it lasts for several years or even more than ten years, this is not a job that people do.

How to do it specifically? The "Market Investigation Department", one of the predecessors of the Police Office, has summarized a set of methods, and Yu Wen Wen has some understanding of this.

In this era, productivity is low and natural disasters are frequent, so people have to rely on grouping to ensure the continuation of incense. The way to grouping is first focused on clans (same clans), followed by village party (same clan).

Clans and fellow townsmen are the most basic social units for the common people in "ancient" society, because many people may never go to a place a hundred miles away in their entire lives, so their living circles are either the same clan or the same hometown.

When life is difficult, we need help from relatives or villagers. If we fight for the water source of farmland, we can only rely on relatives or villagers to fight together with each other and fight together, and the government cannot rely on them.

People who are traveling outside to make a living want to contact their relatives in their hometowns, basically they can only rely on their fellow villagers to help. Therefore, the living circle of ordinary people cannot be cut off from their fellow villagers.

It is precisely because of this that if a certain clan or region is used to summarize the target person, "file" them, and then targeted intelligence collection, the effect can be achieved by twice the result with half the effort.

You can achieve twice the result with half the effort, and you can’t just talk on paper.

Yuwen Wen wanted to check the efficiency of the police station, so he casually reported the name of a Chang'an merchant. After a while, the person's information was submitted.

The family is composed of a well-known tribe and his relatives, their hobbies, and which restaurants they often go to for fun on weekdays are all clearly recorded.

Among them, the person who has been close to this wealthy businessman has also classified it separately in the file.

Yuwen Wen looked carefully and felt that the content recorded in the archives was very detailed, so...

Then, if Yu Wen Wen suspected that this rich businessman secretly manipulated the prices in the East City, the police would predict who would participate based on the person's "social circle", and then use the inside line in a targeted manner to spy on the activities of these people.

When the other party often goes to the restaurant, there will be attention from the policeman in the inside. When the other party is having fun in the private room, he will have "ears across the wall".

As long as this wealthy businessman is really planning to manipulate prices, it won’t take long before the police will collect enough personal evidence and notify the Dongshi Municipal Administration to “clean up the portal.”

It is not easy to do this. In the era of no eavesdropping machines and cameras, intelligence collection is entirely dependent on manpower, so it is inevitable to continuously develop the inside line.

The intelligence network developed by the Anti-Insurance Police Office is composed of insiders. As this network becomes larger and larger, the number of institutional personnel and insiders develop is increasing, and the difficulty of management is becoming increasingly difficult.

Will the once short, concise and efficient team gradually become bloated and inefficient?

Yuwen Wen didn't know the answer, but he knew one thing: born in distress and died in happiness.
