The heavens start with letting the bullets fly

Chapter 1249 I usually just flip the table
On this day, the ordinary prisons in Shuntian Mansion were overcrowded, and hundreds of newcomers were imprisoned in one day, all of whom were green-skinned gangsters who had just been caught.

Hundreds of green-skinned gangsters on the street were locked together, one can imagine the lively scene.

"Let us out, let us out, we haven't done anything bad or broken the law, why do you arrest people randomly?"

"Bastard, bastard, why are the bastards in Shuntian Prefecture arresting people indiscriminately? My relatives are officials in the household department yamen. Don't let me go out to make you look good!"

"There are people behind me, be careful if you can't eat and walk around!"

"..."

A group of green-skinned gangsters showed no fear or worry at all. Instead, they slapped Da Lao's thick cell door vigorously with their throats, showing the posture of an experienced old driver.

"Scream, call a ghost, be honest with me, the adults in the yamen will come over later, if you have anything to say, you can tell the adults in person, there is no use for screaming here!"

The guards guarding the big prison had a headache for a while, and the gang of green skins who were suddenly imprisoned were not easy to provoke. Most of them had unexplainable relationships with court officials or wealthy families.

"Then tell your lords to come here, I want to ask, why did he arrest us for no reason?"

The jailer's words didn't have any effect at all, the gang of green skins locked in the prison were still making a scene, banging the rough wooden door of the prison, and yelling in their mouths, they were not afraid of making things worse.

There were even green-skinned gangsters who had a bad relationship, because they didn't like each other when they were locked together, and they would fight if they disagreed, causing the whole prison to be full of smog.

"presumptuous!"

After half an hour, the sky gradually darkened.The lights in the prison were lit, and Chen Zhao came to the prison calmly.

Seeing this scene, Chen Zhao smiled coldly, and shouted:
"presumptuous!"

He deliberately used his true energy, and suddenly the sound was like thunder, thunderbolts, and rolling explosions. The shock caused pain to the eardrums of the green-skinned gangster, and the blood in his body surged. The entire noisy cell suddenly became silent.

Everyone's face was pale, and they were about to vomit, and they looked at Chen Zhao with horror and fear in their eyes.

Even if all they see is a teenager.

But when the other party drank it, it was like a god of thunder.

Even though they are all generous, when faced with such an existence, they all behave like obedient sheep.

"Which one is the hairless worm Niu Er, stand up for me, I have something to ask!"

Chen Zhao spoke calmly, then glanced at him.

"He is Niu Er!"

"Master Guan, he is a hairless worm!"

Someone will launch Niu Er soon.

This Niu Er is known as the "Hairless Worm". He usually bullies ordinary people, but he has no arrogance in the face of green-skinned gangsters. Under Chen Zhao's thunder, he naturally pushes him out deliberately.

Chen Zhao sneered, ordered people to open the cell door, walked in, grabbed Niu Er, and dragged him out.

During the whole process, all the rogues watched with their eyes, and no one dared to make a move.

And the naughty bull, who didn't even have the thought of resisting, was directly dragged by the neck by Chen Zhao, dragged out like a dead dog, came to the interrogation room, and was thrown directly to the ground.

Chen Zhao, on the other hand, sat on a chair and waited quietly.

Boom!

The prison, which was still silent just now, exploded like a gunpowder explosion, and all kinds of noise suddenly surged like a volcanic eruption.

The hooligans who had reacted, in order to cover up their cowardice just now, couldn't help but utter all kinds of comments and curses, so all kinds of dissatisfied and all kinds of scoundrels came one after another, and even some people who didn't know how to live or die slammed the prison door and shouted for Chen Zhao to look good.

But the jailers quickly emboldened themselves. They all took out their sticks without hesitation and swung violently through the fence, beating the green-skinned men until they screamed and fell to the ground one by one. give up.

The atmosphere in the interrogation room was gloomy, the surrounding walls were covered with various instruments of torture, and there seemed to be a faint smell of blood in the air. Niu Er slowly got up from the ground, and seeing Chen Zhao looking at him indifferently, he couldn't help feeling his spine go limp. up. .

"Niu Er?"

Chen Zhao's voice sounded very calmly, startling Niu Er and nodded hurriedly: "The little one is here!"

Don't look at Niu Er's arrogant and unscrupulous character in front of the common people and jailers, but in front of the real officials of Shuntian Mansion, and in front of the big men of Shuntian Mansion with super high force value, his bones softened all of a sudden. Don't even dare to fart one more.

"Yesterday you beat old man He who sold chestnuts, and even robbed him of three catties of chestnuts and dozens of copper coins, right?"

Chen Zhao asked.

"This, it seems to be a trivial matter, there is no need to go to jail, if I hadn't apologized to Old Man He, at worst I would have compensated him for all his losses!"

Niu Er bowed his head and said.

Although he is soft-boned, Niu Er is unwilling to be punished.

But to excuse himself from the crime, he was absolutely unambiguous.

"Oh, what about you and a group of people who robbed a batch of goods from out-of-town merchants five days ago?"

Chen Zhao sneered, and said directly: "The value of that batch of goods is very high, and the Shuntian Mansion is investigating. Once the evidence of the crime is confirmed, it will be light to sentence you to exile for thousands of miles.!"

"Don't, it's just a little joke, sir, don't take it seriously!"

Niu Er was startled. He didn't expect that the boss of Shuntian Mansion across from him knew so much about his affairs. He was suddenly frightened and frightened.

"The four most vicious things in the world are knocking on the widow's door, digging out the family's grave, beating the blind, and scolding the dumb. Do you think Shuntian Mansion doesn't know about the things you did last month? Who kicked the door of Widow Chen's house?" bad?"

Chen Zhao continued to speak.

With a "pop", Niu Er fell to his knees directly, with a look of horror on his face and kept saying: "Sir, please forgive me, please..."

He was extremely frightened for a moment, wondering how the eldest man of Shuntian Mansion in front of him knew so much about him.

Widow Chen's door was kicked because he wanted to do some shameless things and was rejected. As for beating the blind and scolding the dumb, he has done a lot. If these things are found out one by one, exile for thousands of miles will be light , maybe he will be sentenced to death.

"Hey, what you have done is more than that, extortion, extortion, prostitution, and other crimes are enough to kill you, but as a government official, I think there is a good life in the sky." De, how about I sentence you to a cage for ten days?" Chen Zhao sneered.

Standing in a cage is an extremely serious torture, and it is used by the government to treat the most heinous criminals.

Because beheading a prisoner usually requires all materials to be collected and reported to the Ministry of Punishment, and only after approval can he be executed later in the autumn.

But in this way, it will not be able to deter some mortals who have committed serious crimes.

So the government used a method, which was to stand in a cage.

The standing cage is an instrument of torture. It is long in front and short in the back, with the long end touching the ground.There is a mouth in the cage to catch the prisoners' necks, and they stand day and night until they die. Some of them first place cushions under their feet, secure them around their necks, and then remove the cushions, causing the prisoners to suffocate to death.

Green-skinned gangsters are the most bullying and fearful of toughness. As long as the government treats them harshly, they will soften in an instant, softer than slugs!

"Sir, please spare my life, little one, I know I'm wrong, I know I'm wrong!"

Niu Er was so frightened that he was so frightened that he didn't dare to make a move, kowtowed and shouted.

As the saying goes, the people's hearts are as strong as iron, and the official laws are as strong as furnaces.

It is really easy for Shuntian Mansion to deal with a green-skinned gangster.

What's more, even if Niu Er had no problems, just relying on the tricks in the yamen, he would have to peel off his skin if he didn't die. At this moment, he still had no intention of fighting against the yamen, so he just begged the boss of Shuntian Mansion in front of him to let him go.

"I'll give you a chance to commit crimes and make meritorious deeds. It's up to you whether you can seize it!"

Chen Zhao sneered, and said, "It's not difficult to reduce your punishment, it depends on whether the case you exposed is sensational enough!"

Niu Er's expression full of hope changed, and he pretended to be stupid with fear in his heart: "My lord, I don't know what you are talking about, I don't understand!"

"Stop pretending to be confused!"

Chen Zhao smiled lightly, revealing two rows of neat white teeth, which looked particularly permeable in the current eerie atmosphere, he said coldly; "Either you are unlucky, or the guy you reported is unlucky, choose one You decide what to do yourself, I’ll give you a cup of tea to think about it, and I won’t wait until the expiration date!”

As he spoke, he picked up the tea that had just been filled on the case table, and took a sip with an extremely leisurely expression.

Is this still an option?
A dead Taoist friend is not a poor Taoist!

As long as you can survive, what does it matter if a group of fellow Jianghu people die?
Niu Er didn't need Chen Zhao to wait for a cup of tea, he said directly, "My lord, if I tell you, will you really lessen my guilt?"

"That depends on whether the case you exposed is of sufficient weight, and whether you can cover up your case! Either say or die, there is no second choice!"

Chen Zhao looked at Niu Er, his tone was extremely flat, but there were bursts of murderous intent.

When the murderous intent was leaked, Niu Er simply couldn't bear it and was already heartbroken.

"I said I said..."

Niu Er was so frightened that his face paled, and he said anxiously: "My lord, I know a fugitive murderer who is hiding in Dongcheng..."

Hearing Niu Er's revelation, the smile on Chen Zhao's face suddenly became bright, and he ordered the little official who was in charge of recording to make a note of it, and asked Niu Er to sign it, and his heart was filled with joy for a moment.

What does it mean to provoke gangsters to fight gangsters, this is it!

The so-called snakes have snake ways and rats have rat ways. In fact, if you really want to say that you are well-informed, no one can compare with the green-skinned gangsters who are local snakes. Their sources of information are very mixed but they are quite accurate.

Especially with regard to the news in the market, they know quite a lot. Many yamen can't get the news with a lot of efforts, but they can easily get it by relying on the convenience of local snakes.

Just like Niu Er right now, he opened his mouth and told the whereabouts of a fugitive murderer who had been wanted by the Ministry of Criminal Justice for a long time.If the yamen were to do their own investigations, who knows that the results will come out in the year of the monkey, or it will become a headless case again.

According to common sense, to get these green-skinned gangsters to speak, the government would have to spend a lot of silver to feed their stomachs, and they might confide a few words.

But under Chen Zhao's murderous aura, no one could withstand such coercion.

Niu Er is just the beginning. There are hundreds of green-skinned gangsters imprisoned in the prison. If only a small number of them can reveal some useful information, Shuntian Mansion will save a lot of trouble and increase the efficiency of half of the cases to the highest level. .

Chen Zhao didn't immediately go out to arrest the fugitive murderer just because of Niu Er's single words, but interrogated several Qingpis who mixed with him, confirmed the reliability of the matter through multiple confessions, and then personally Leading a team to kill the fugitive's hiding place, a dozen wolf-like officials suddenly broke in and caught the fugitive who was caught off guard.

Looking at the panic-stricken criminal who was pinned to the ground, Chen Zhao said calmly, "Old Chen, something happened to you..."

Everyone in Shuntian Mansion was stunned...

Originally thought that the movement made by the new Prime Minister Chen Zhao was just three fires when a new official took office. Even the Prime Minister Zhang Qingbo who was forcibly dragged into the water thought the same way.

As the Governor of Shuntian, Zhang Qingbo naturally understood the situation of the officials and yamen servants under him, and knew that the people below did not like Chen Zhao, the new Prime Minister, and it was impossible for them to fully cooperate, at least not in a short period of time.

The cleanup in the first two days proved this guess, which was simply a formality.Zhang Qingbo even sneered in his heart, ready to push Chen Zhao out as a scapegoat.

Where can it be so easy to clean up the law and order?

At the feet of the emperor, there is a mixture of fish and dragons, but it is also a place where the powerful gather. No one can afford to offend. If Chen Zhao does not do this well, not only will his image in the hearts of the court officials plummet, but he will also find it difficult to maintain his current status, at least He will not have much prestige in Shuntian Mansion in the future.

Losing prestige in the yamen will have disastrous consequences. It has basically been determined that he will have no future in Shuntianfu yamen, and it will be even more difficult to turn around.

It's just that no one expected that Chen Zhao broke the game so quickly. First, he frantically threw the green-skinned gangsters on the street into the prison, and then he did not know what method he used to get a lot of useful information from these green-skinned gangsters.

First, he personally went out to arrest the fugitive murderer Chen Laopi, which opened up the situation in an instant, and at the same time allowed him to establish his prestige in front of the officials below.

Before the officials in the Shuntian government office who wanted to see a joke reacted, Chen Zhao shot again and again, arresting fugitives, murder suspects, or criminal suspects one by one. In ten days, he arrested five criminals.

These five criminals are all Jiangyang thieves named in the Ministry of Punishment. Their crimes are heinous and heinous. It can be said that they are full of crimes.

They committed a serious crime, but they thought it was dark under the lights, and they ran to live in the capital, just wanting to be unnoticed.

But he didn't know that the eyes of the masses are discerning.

Especially those green-skinned gangsters, they are well versed in some low-level sects. It is not easy for these criminals to hide their tracks.

Shuntian Mansion arrested them and brought them to justice, the people in the mansion were shocked.

Once these criminals are implemented, the reputation of Shuntian Mansion will go up to the sky. It is said that the Ministry of Punishment will be shocked, and even the emperor Zhu Qizhen will be able to hear the news.

This is political achievement, this is merit!

Now, the entire Shuntian Mansion is in a sensation!

Among other things, those yamen servants who were unwilling to cooperate before, don't mention how active they are now, this is all credit, the more credit, the more rewards from above.

Compared with the possible bright future in the future, what is the secret grudge with the new Prime Minister?
Anyway, the arms can't twist the thighs, and one day they will bow their heads and give in. It doesn't matter if they bow their heads early or late. What's more, arresting fugitives and criminals who have committed new cases will not only bring credit but also a lot of money. Only a fool would continue to compete with Chen Fucheng.

"Not bad, Chen Zhao did a good job!"

With breakthroughs, it is natural to report to the emperor. After all, the cabinet is only an advisory body at this time and does not have the strong position of future generations.

Although Zhu Qizhen lost his temper, he still held the power.

For the safety of his dragon chair, he naturally paid great attention to the public security of the capital, so he was quite satisfied with the efficiency of the Yamen in Shuntian Prefecture. Of course, he was also quite dissatisfied with the crime rate in the capital.

When did the most virtuous place at the feet of the Emperor become a place of filth and evil?

It was less than ten days before Chen Zhao was approved to "strike hard", and the number of major criminals arrested was close to ten, not to mention the even larger number of ordinary criminals.

When the emperor learned from Wang An that Shuntian Mansion had arrested hundreds of green-skinned gangsters in one day, and most of them had numerous crimes after interrogation, he was completely angry.

"Check, keep checking, check hard!"

Of course, the emperor would not miss this opportunity, and directly instructed,

Not only him, but also the princes of the court.

I didn’t expect the capital city to be so chaotic!

Although they are all hiding in poor areas, who knows when they were hired by someone with a heart!
The change of seizing the door back then was also completed without anyone noticing.

If a thoughtful person really knew that a few highly skilled criminal thieves had sneaked into his house without anyone noticing, it would be too late to regret it!
Besides, if another guy like Cao Jixiang and Cao Shaoqin came to collect these thieves, wouldn't the civil servants be suppressed by those eunuchs again?

The emperor's oral orders and the opinions of the princes quickly reached the ears of Zhang Qingbo, Yin of Shuntian Prefecture. As Zhu Qizhen's confidant, he clearly felt the dissatisfaction in it, and suddenly broke out in a cold sweat and was full of anxiety.

"Chen Zhao, the good thing you did has made me miserable!"

He secretly complained in his heart, but he had to bite the bullet and publicly expressed his support for Chen Zhao's behavior during the yamen meeting, hoping that he would continue to work hard to eliminate Xiao Xiaoxiao in the capital.

Chen Zhao laughed out loud with joy on his face, expressing that he did not need to be reminded by Fu Yin, he had absolutely no intention of stopping, the first few days were just the beginning, and the next one would be the main event.

The highlight is your sister!
Zhang Qingbo's scalp went numb after hearing this, and he had to show a look of deep agreement on his face, but he felt extremely miserable in his heart. If Chen Zhao continues to torment so unscrupulously, his position as the governor of Shuntian Prefecture should be abdicated. Give way to Xian.

This Chen Zhao's ability is really extraordinary, unmatched by ordinary people!

It's no wonder that at such a young age, being able to achieve the fourth rank of Shuntian Fucheng is really terrifying.

It is better to bully the old than to bully the young.

30 years in Hedong and 30 years in Hexi. Don’t bully young people into poverty.

Zhang Qingbo also had the idea of ​​not daring to provoke this young official who was less than 20 years old.

Just going on like this, wouldn't Shuntian Mansion become the source of evil?
The officialdom of the Ming Dynasty has too many death sentences, and the official’s performance appraisal will not have any good words. You kill too many people, which is called lack of love. And so many death penalty cases, doesn’t it mean that the place under your rule is not good? Jing?So county magistrates, prefecture magistrates, etc. rarely impose the death penalty. It’s not that they can’t kill people. If they want to kill people, they just let you stay in a cage. It doesn’t take two days for you to stand to death. It’s not considered a death penalty. It also acts as a deterrent.

Besides, Shuntian Mansion is right under everyone's noses, what will the emperor and the court bosses think?
They keep on saying what they say, but will they have any problem with themselves?
So Zhang Qingbo was in a dilemma and at a loss.

Chen Zhao vaguely noticed Zhang Qingbo's thoughts, but he didn't care at all.

He is just the second-in-command Fucheng of Shuntian Mansion, and his duty is to assist Zhang Qingbo in handling the daily affairs of Shuntian Mansion. He only cares about his own work, and it is not up to him to dictate other matters. Isn't there a full-time job ahead of him? ?
The previous actions were a complete success, which not only allowed him to establish prestige in the Shuntian government office, but also won the hearts of the middle and lower officials in the government office.

It is indeed a wise choice to open a breakthrough through local gangsters like the gangsters on the streets of Beijing.

However, using Qingcheng gangsters to capture fugitives is just overkill, but it is also the easiest way to establish authority.

These fugitives and criminal suspects have a guilty conscience because they have committed crimes. Except for a few who have been involved with wealthy families and are quite courageous, the rest live a very low-key life. The arrest of them will not cause too much trouble on the street. Turmoil and backlash.

As for the big move to shake up the capital, Chen Zhao doesn't want to do it yet. After all, the relationship in the capital is complicated. Maybe a peddler who set up a stall on the street may have a close relationship with a certain powerful family.

Once the action becomes big, it is likely to bring out the dirty things of those wealthy families, and the resistance to handling the case will be too great.Before he has completely established himself in Shuntian Mansion, the fewer such actions, the better.

He wants to make a difference, he can't just ignore everything, see gods kill gods, meet Buddhas and destroy Buddha's halo pig horns, some things are not not to be done, but to pay attention to methods and methods.

Moreover, most of the fugitives arrested before were from outside the city. The local people in the capital have not acted rashly yet. He is waiting for the momentum to rise at this time. Now that he expresses his concern, it will not be too late to take action.

In the next half month, various urban districts in the capital suddenly encountered frequent "patronage" by Shuntian government officials, and one after another local criminals were arrested on the spot, causing a commotion among the public.

Sure enough, as Chen Zhao expected, when arresting the locals in the capital, they encountered considerable resistance!
After all, the network of local criminals is very complex, especially the natives of the capital, who are even more arrogant than Qingyilou in the world. When the Shuntian government officials break into the house to take someone, they are often blocked and beaten by their family members. Every time Every time it was like a war, the whole block was shaken.

If the soldiers from the Wucheng Military and Horse Division, who are also responsible for the security of the capital, were not present to assist, there would have been quite a bit of trouble. This shows that the reputation of Shuntian Prefecture's yamen is not very good.

But even so, the gate of the Shuntian Mansion Yamen was full of crying and cursing every day, which made the officials very annoyed and had a headache, and even the Shuntian Mansion Yamen became the laughing stock of the entire Beijing officialdom.

Not only that, but the matter of implicating the powerful that had been on guard before also surfaced.

The capital is the capital, and the number of officials here is the highest in the country. It is said that throwing a brick into the crowd can injure a sixth-rank official of the imperial court...

The number of people who came to beg for mercy suddenly increased. Of course, the heads of official families and the masters of wealthy families would not come forward, and they would all have errands like the stewards and followers below to pass on the message.

"Chen Fucheng, please show your respect..."

This is someone from a small and powerful official family. He lacks confidence and has no hope of finding people. His attitude is sincere and he has made enough gestures. This is human nature, and Chen Zhao has no intention of giving them face. Judge according to the magnitude of the crime.

He said it very clearly. If the crime is too big, don't expect him to let go. If the crime is not big, it's okay to let him go. This is his attitude.

"Master Chen, our master has told you to release so-and-so, otherwise you will be responsible for the consequences..."

This is the so-called Diao Nu from a wealthy family, with his eyes on his forehead and his high-spirited look, he speaks viciously and hatefully, and he doesn't pay attention to the Shuntian government office at all.

"roll!"

Chen Zhao has only one attitude towards such a thing that doesn't know what is good or bad, and throws it out with a stick!

No matter how these diabolical slaves slandered and provoked powerful enemies for the Shuntian government office and him after returning home, he really didn't care much. If he really made him anxious, he would dare to throw the table directly!
Cleaning up a capital city is easy now!
