The heavens start with letting the bullets fly

Chapter 535 Baoyu: Chen Zhao is a courtier
Although the Police Department currently has only a few hundred people patrolling the streets of Nancheng, when they see serious-looking soldiers in flying fish suits and embroidered spring knives walking back and forth on the street, the criminals will always have scruples. Don't dare to do anything, the law and order everywhere has improved a lot.

Originally, these trivial matters in the streets and alleys were all handled by the policemen and policemen of Shuntian Mansion. Jin Yiwei handled the errands with such dedication, but they had a lot of leisure.

There is nothing to do on the street, but since the beginning of the waxing moon, Shuntian Mansion has never been free for a moment, from the Prime Minister Sun Shaozong down to the non-compiled book office officials, headhunters and the most ordinary servants, No one is free because there are few cases outside.

This Sun Shaozong was introduced to Chen Zhao by Jia Lian.

Although he was a civil servant, he came from a military family. His elder brother, Sun Shaozu, was the commander of the patrol battalion in the capital.

This Sun Shaozong was tall and strong, he looked like a general and warrior at first glance, but in fact he was indeed gifted with supernatural power and could carry a tripod.

But in fact, he is a bear-skinned fox-hearted, he did not take the route of generals, but took the route of civil servants, until he reached the position of Shuntian Mansion Chancellor - the proper second person of Shuntian Mansion.

This Sun Shaozong defected to Chen Zhao, and Wang Ping's thoughts were similar to those of Wang Ping, that is, they all saw that Chen Zhao had a bright future, so they wanted to come here early to hug their thighs.

After Chen Zhao and this Sun Shaozong drank a few times, they reported to the emperor, arranged for someone to write an official document, signed a seal, brought it to Shuntian Mansion, and handed it to Chen Zhao.

The two muttered to each other for a long time in the duty room, and after Chen Zhao left, Sun Shaozong called all the officials of Shuntian Mansion for a meeting to investigate the cases of these years.

He wants to count the big and small cases reported by the common people every year, which are related to theft, robbery and deception.

Shuntian Mansion, like other government offices, is procrastinating in doing things, and doing official business is not as energetic as doing private business.

So this matter was proposed by Sun Shaozong in the name of the public, but he sent a lot of gold and silver in the name of a private person. If everyone complains secretly, it is not easy to get away with it.I had to go all out.

Sun Fucheng himself is very cunning, not to mention there is Jin Yiwei behind him, he wants to clean up these things, everyone naturally understands the meaning behind it, and with gold and silver in hand, naturally they dare not slack off.

So soon, the records of criminal cases such as theft, robbery, abduction, and deception in the capital were sorted out and sent to Chen Zhao.

I don't know if I don't count it, but even Chen Zhao was shocked when I counted it.

In the past few years, all these criminal cases in the capital have involved a million taels of gold and silver, and tens of thousands of people have been victims.

Chen Zhao didn't dare to neglect, and immediately went to see the emperor.

Emperor Xiaode was also taken aback: "It is said that at the foot of the Son of Heaven, the most benevolent land, there are so many tricks and tricks, and there are so many tricks to harm people. These are all people who report to officials, and those who don't report to officials, Could it be that there are more? Could it be that my Great Zhou capital is so restless?"

For a while, he walked back and forth in the Wenhua Palace with his hands behind his back, finally stopped, and said in a deep voice: "Chen Zhao, I ordered you to take full responsibility for this matter, and the capital must be cleaned up! Strictly crack down on crime! Let the capital change into a bright and bright world! I will wait for the spring boudoir in March next year, so that you can enter the examination room with peace of mind."

Hearing the emperor's statement, Chen Zhao immediately knew that Emperor Xiaode had great ambitions, and immediately cupped his hands and said, "Don't worry, Your Majesty, this time'strike hard', I will definitely go all out!"

In the middle of the twelfth lunar month, the guards in brocade clothes of the Patrol Department read official documents aloud in the streets and alleys where people gathered. Started to recite the official document, while one person stood aside solemnly.

In addition, the officials of Shuntian Prefecture and the commanders of the Five Cities Military and Horse Department were also standing aside. It was obvious that the three families were united.

"...Stealing, violent robbery, fighting in the street, gathering crowds to riot and other illegal things, should be severely punished, don't say it's unexpected..."

Since the city was built more than 2000 years ago, the people in the capital have seen almost all new things. Just imagine that even the "Changing King's Banner at the Head of the City" is a sideshow for thousands of years since the city was built. What else have the people in the capital not seen?
Although the people in the capital are well-informed, there are very few new programs that benefit themselves, such as "strike hard", and they feel that they are very fresh. It has been a legendary era for several generations, and this kind of thing has never happened .

But everyone quickly realized the benefits of promoting this project.

For example, at the Nancheng market, a thief stole a wallet and was caught immediately, but suddenly several burly men appeared, directly intimidating everyone.

"If you don't want to get beaten, just stay away. If you can't keep your wallet in check, it's because you have no ability!"

The corners of the big men's mouths were light, and they didn't pay attention to the people in the market.

But before the words fell, a sharp whistle sounded, and soon a dozen or so Jinyi guards wearing flying fish suits, embroidered spring knives on their waists, and wooden sticks rushed over, directly surrounded these people, and scolded them. After that, the sticks were put together, and those burly men, together with the thief, were knocked down to the ground and tied up firmly.

"If the thief and his accomplices are caught, how will they be dealt with according to the law?"

"Thirty boards per person!"

"Jinyiwei implements strict crackdowns, doubles the enforcement, and changes it to sixty boards, and kills no matter what!"

"Yes!"

Immediately, a few Jinyi guards were elected, and they raised their sticks and beat them severely.

These soldiers have been trained for several months, and each one has been beaten and scolded by the instructors, and each one is full of anger, and they will not be light when they execute the execution.

Suddenly, there was a "cracking" sound of flesh and blood.

The thieves still wanted to fight hard, pretending to be heroes, but they didn't know that more than a dozen sticks would go down, so they screamed in pain, and grandparents screamed desperately.

But the executor was stared at, saying that sixty sticks are sixty sticks, and no one can let go.

So dozens of sticks were used to beat lifelessly, killing two people immediately, and the others also vented more gas than breathed in, even if they were raised well, they would become useless.

This kind of thing doesn't just happen in one place.

However, no one will feel pity for such a cheating and abducting thing.

But Chen Zhao was not satisfied.

How about killing and maiming?

After all, the policy of "strike hard" is to learn from past mistakes and avoid future ones, to cure diseases and save lives.

Wouldn't it be better to keep working and re-education through labor?
So Chen Zhao quickly issued a new order.

Sticking was changed to whipping.

Even though the whip is bloody, the medicine can heal well, and the person will not be disabled, but after the medicine is used for diagnosis and treatment, the person is not sent back directly, but is escorted outside the city to wait.

A large number of people are needed to build the mausoleum for the Supreme Emperor.

During the Han Dynasty, the emperor began to build a mausoleum for himself as soon as he ascended the throne.

But then everyone is not so stupid.

Many emperors have been in office for more than ten years. Feeling old and weak, they began to build mausoleums for themselves.

The Supreme Emperor is even more unusual.

He came to the throne at the age of 20, and has been the emperor for 45 years. He has always held great power, majestic and prosperous, and always feels that he will live forever.

It was not until he abdicated due to serious illness that he began to consider building a mausoleum.

Today's reign name is "filial piety", which is an excellent example of filial piety and morality.The mausoleum of the Supreme Emperor is naturally very large-scale.

Therefore, there are a lot of laborers arranged.

Chen Zhao thought what the emperor thought, and used the crackdown to recruit a large number of criminals, and many of them were sent directly to repair the mausoleum there.

Of course, only the heinous guys are sent there, and they work until they are exhausted.

People with minor crimes were sent to manors outside the city.

Those manors are the high-level officials of Jinyiwei, as well as the Zhuangzi of various gods. They are short of manpower to build water conservancy projects, and some have plenty of work. Now Jinyiwei has taken the initiative to send soldiers to escort these prisoners to work, which is naturally what they wish for.

Some of them are busy here, and there are soldiers in training guarding them in and out, and it is impossible to escape.

It was clearly stated in the official document at the time that after the punishment, he would have to be reeducated through labor, and only after he had been tempered by the rules could he be set free.

Some people can go back after working in a manor outside the city for a month, while others have to be sent to some old villages in the mountains of Yanshan, and some have a hard time.

People are fearful of power and not afraid of morality.

However, when the gang of thieves were killed and those who set up the scheme were sent to work outside the city, the security atmosphere in the capital suddenly improved.

The hooligans who don't do many serious things, who always harm the neighbors, and the beggar gang heroes who rule a place and dominate, are all trembling at this time, those who can go out of the city are out of the city, those who go to visit their relatives, and those who avoid it.

If Long Xiaoyun knew about the crackdown after his death, he must hate why Chen Zhao didn't implement the crackdown earlier.

Going to work in the manor is much better than dying from pain.

Many people discussed in private that this kind of cruel punishment might violate the sage's humble words and righteousness, and maybe those civil officials would advise to cancel this kind of high pressure as soon as possible.

But they didn't expect that these prisoners were working for free on the manors of the bosses of the civil servants. The bosses must be optimistic.

Sure enough, after discussing for a few days, I didn't hear any remonstrance. On the contrary, there was another news that Jinyiwei was investigating the backlog of cases in Shuntian Mansion. To thoroughly investigate.

Jin Yiwei Tong Zhi Chen Zhao personally connected the case with Sun Shaozong, the Prime Minister of Shuntian Prefecture, and must thoroughly investigate all criminal cases.

You must know that there is no perfect business in this world. When a case was made, money was used on the same day, and the relationship was used, and the past was delayed by fooling around.

As soon as the news came out, even those who could hold their breath hurriedly left the city, fearing that they would be swept away, let alone beaten to death, and would not be able to endure hard labor!
But for wealthy families, it's just a chat after dinner.

That day when Jia Lian mentioned the majesty of Jinyiwei in front of Jiamu, Jiamu and others praised him again and again, but Mrs. Wang didn't say a word, only Baoyu curled her lips.

When he returned to the courtyard, he said to the attacker: "I think that Chen Zhao is not just a fool, but also a villain who deceives the emperor. Why is the capital 'so chaotic' and 'the people are in a panic'? In my opinion, the strategy of cracking down is pure nonsense, and it is nothing more than greedy courtiers. We also live in the capital, why have we never seen those villains? In this peaceful world, it is clear that Chen Zhao turned the world upside down in front of His Majesty Black and white, it's a pity that Uncle Lin taught such a sycophant."

He usually said that, and the maids would definitely agree with him.

Unexpectedly, after he finished speaking this time, Xiren just chuckled, with a pale face, obviously not agreeing with what he said.

Baoyu was about to ask again, when Xiren sneered and said, "Second Lord is really idle. Where do you usually live, and how many servants do you have when you go out? How many people are there to guard the house in the Grand View Garden and Rongguo Mansion? The slaves didn't read it. I’ve read books, but I’ve also heard of ‘Why not eat minced meat’, I’ve heard what you said today, so I know what’s going on, I’ve really been educated?”

Baoyu was speechless for a while, and only after a while did he take care to speak softly to the attacker.

On this day, Chen Zhao came to the Jinyiwei yamen, and was reviewing official documents in his small courtyard after finishing typing, when Sha Jinrui walked in, greeted Chen Zhao, and said with a smile:

"Just now, Master Zhang, the Shaoqing of the Taipu Temple, sent someone to thank him, saying that we found the horses he lost last year. The capital city was in trouble, but he didn't expect to be sold to Luoyang by the horse thief caught today. As soon as the thief caught him, he was so frightened that he broke his burden, and he was in a hurry to confess his meritorious deeds."

Chen Zhao shook his head with a smile. The Taipu Temple is in charge of horse affairs. It is nothing to lose a few horses.

"The crackdown presided over by Mr. Chen is really a face for our Jinyi army. Now the brothers are straighter than before on the street. This is all thanks to Mr. Chen!"

"Dutang praised you. From now on, Dutang will still call Chen Zhao by his name. You can't be such an adult in front of Dutang."

Sha Jinrui smiled with his hands behind his back, and said:
"Your Majesty, even the common people will praise you for the merits that Mr. Chen has done. You will be named on the Gold List in March next year, and Jin Yiwei will also have to honor your affection!"

After all, Sha Jinrui is the commander of Jinyiwei. As long as he lands smoothly and retires after completing this term, he will be safe in this life.

But after all, he belongs to the Jinyiwei family. Seeing that under the leadership of Chen Zhao, the old Jinyiwei, which had been left behind by mud and sand, was rejuvenated and thriving. Sha Jinrui was also honored, so he came here to show his favor when he had the opportunity. After all, he might not need it, but The son and grandson will continue to work in Jinyiwei.
