After finishing reading the dossier, Tang Fei had a general understanding of the case.
Of course, that was only what the written materials presented, and the specific details still called for inspection and supervision.
However, knowing their close relationship with the Lu Family, yet choosing to target them first... Was this the King’s wish or was it Yan Wenli’s trial?
The King intended to perform surgery on the nine major families, did the nine major families know about this?
Were they choosing to sacrifice a part to save the whole, or were they going for broke?
If it was the latter, then it would undoubtedly be an act of treason... Would they end up meeting the same fate as the Tang Family did back then?
But, if the nine major families united, on what basis did the Royal Family think they would definitely be the winner?
Could the Empire withstand such turmoil?
Since he had confirmed his entry into the Monitoring Bureau, Tang Fei had thought over these questions countless times in his mind and had also sought the opportunity to discuss them in-depth with the old man.
Yet, even now, there was no clear answer.
They didn’t believe Zhong Daolong could be so foolish, inflated with confidence to declare war on all nine families at once...
Uniting the others to take down the strongest among them, like his father had, was the smart choice.
Even though it was the Tang Family itself that was taken down.
One step at a time. Now caught in the game, let’s see how the chess master makes his move.
Of course, the most important thing now was to get acquainted with his subordinates.
To get things done, people were essential.
Now being the captain of the second team, this team should rightfully be under his leadership and command.
But, good horses are hard to find, and wild horses are hard to tame, so he decided first to meet them and see what kind of inspectors were under his command.
The Monitoring Bureau was organized into eight divisions, each with its own title.
Division Five was mainly responsible for the Black Cavalry stationed inside and outside Phoenix City, capturing bandits and criminals, and guarding, making it the strongest division in terms of military force within the Monitoring Bureau.
Originally, the task of inspecting the hundreds of officials in the capital was handled by one division, but Yan Wen had placed this case in Division Five and handed it to Tang Fei, the new captain.
Was he intending to use Tang Fei as a tool, with the Black Cavalry from Division Five as his solid backing?
Of course, while the thought was pleasant, he couldn’t be so optimistic...
The minds of those in power were not so easily guessed.
Tang Fei pressed the call button on his desk, and a tall, long-legged young woman dressed in a black OL uniform walked in and asked, "Captain Tang, did you call for me?"
"Who are you?" Tang Fei asked, looking at the uniformed beauty.
"Reporting to Captain Tang, I am Tan Yu, the confidential secretary of the second squad of Division Five of the Monitoring Bureau. Please let me know if there’s anything I can help you with."
"Confidential secretary?" Tang Fei paused for a moment. A squad leader has such a perk? His own secretary?
He had just seen Zhong Jiayuan’s secretary, Hua Juan, who wore a tightly wrapped Monitoring Bureau uniform...
There’s no dress code within the Monitoring Bureau, right?
"Yes," Tan Yu nodded. "Due to the importance and secrecy of inspection work, each squad has a confidential secretary."
"Oh. I understand," Tang Fei nodded and said, "I’m new here; there’s a lot I need to ask you about."
"You’re too polite, Captain." Tan Yu squinted her eyes, sizing up the young captain who seemed too young and said, "I’ve long admired the great name of Captain Tang."
