The heavens start with letting the bullets fly

Chapter 1250
After the servants returned to the mansion, many high-ranking officials and dignitaries sent their sons who were away from home to do general affairs to visit them.

Originally, everyone had a lot of ways to deal with the extraordinary officials in the capital.

Those who are greedy for money give rich gifts, those who are lustful give gifts to beauties, and those who are self-motivated will have noble people show up and form marriages.

But when dealing with Chen Zhao, everyone found that it was like a dog biting a hedgehog—there was nowhere to bite.

Chen Zhao's parents were both dead, and all contact with him was cut off from his only relative.

She is only fifteen or sixteen years old, and there are not many servants in the mansion, so she has no plans to get married at present.

He is simply an invulnerable guy.

There is no way to solve it!
What's more, Chen Zhao has a lot of ways to make money, so he naturally disdains the money presented by those rich and powerful.

After all, the money is really hot.

It also affects his reputation.

……

After returning to the yamen, Chen Zhao started the next step without stopping - cracking down on gangsters!
Liu Yamen, who was lying in bed now, had recovered, but was told by the Yamen to take a break.

He recuperated, so the bounty in the yamen would naturally not fall on him.

So while Lao Liu regretted it at home, he was also complained by his family and ridiculed by his colleagues.

Of course, what happened to Lao Liu also alerted others.

If you want to make money and get rewards, then follow in the footsteps of Feng Fucheng!
……

Catching fugitives and wanted criminals is just an appetizer. What really endangers the stability of the capital is the big and small gangs and the huge profit troupes involved.

Of course, with the current strength of Shuntian Mansion, at most they can only deal with those small and medium-sized gangs.

The two leading gangs of Li Yanbei and Du Tongxuan, as well as the underdogs like the Taoist Priest Baiyunguan, Shuntian Mansion was powerless for the time being.

After all, many people in the government office rely on these two gangs to make a living.

And these two major gangs and Baiyun Temple are inextricably linked with the above.

Chen Zhao is currently not in the mood to make a big mess.

As long as one's own power is strong enough, and the truly loyal people at hand are strong enough, they will naturally be cleaned up like fallen leaves in the autumn wind.

The beggar gang organized by Dongcheng Sunliu and Xicheng Wanghu provided timely information, and there were hundreds of green-skinned gangsters who were arrested. The information revealed in order to cover the crime and make meritorious service, in fact, Chen Zhao had long been aware of the various gangs in the capital. A clear understanding, there is good and bad involved in it, it is not good to act rashly.

At this time, through nearly a month of hard work, he not only successfully established prestige in the Shuntian government office, but also won a lot of praise from the emperor and courtiers. Without hesitation, we will continue to deepen the cleanup efforts against the capital city.

The bustling market, the bustling crowds, the hawkers who set up stalls, and the monkeys playing for fun, made the streets of Nancheng even more noisy and lively.

In a small block, there are several theater troupes stationed here, and the voices of babbling and hanging voices are endless all day long, most of them are young apprentices raised by the theater troupe.

The surrounding people and traders have long been accustomed to it, and they don't feel that there is anything wrong with each other.

Today, as usual, the courtyard where several troupes gather is bustling with noise, and young troupe apprentices are practicing basic skills with their masters leading them.

Interested people stood at the door and watched, shouting and applauding from time to time, which made the young apprentices training in the yard work harder and harder.

This situation is no different from usual.

But today, a group of uninvited guests came to this bustling and noisy street.

Chen Zhao, the Prime Minister of Shuntian Mansion, led dozens of yamen servants, and went straight to this block in a threatening manner. The people and vendors on the road retreated after seeing them, for fear of causing trouble to the upper body.

The originally noisy and bustling streets suddenly became a little deserted because of the arrival of a large number of Yamen servants in Shuntian Mansion, and there seemed to be a tense atmosphere in the air.

"Enclose the courtyard of the Huoyun class, and don't let anyone in there leave, otherwise don't blame me for not being sympathetic!"

Walking to the small courtyard where a theater troupe was located, Chen Zhao stopped and ordered in a cold voice.

"Respect!"

A group of yamen servants suddenly agreed, and immediately divided into several waves to surround the courtyard of the Huoyun class, scaring the left-behind members of the Ruiqing class and the young apprentices at once.

"My lord, our Huoyun class has always been law-abiding. I don't know why your lord came here all of a sudden?"

The squad leader rushed out from the inner courtyard in a hurry, but was blocked by the yamen guards who surrounded the entire courtyard and couldn't come out. He asked Chen Zhao cautiously.

"Whether you obey the law or not, it doesn't matter what you say, and it doesn't matter what the official says! It's up to the laws of Ming Dynasty!"

"My lord, we are all good citizens and have never violated the law. Don't slander a good person!" The class leader shouted loudly.

Only his voice was louder.

It can almost be heard for miles.

He is actually a master of internal skills!
Do you want to inform your companions to escape?

Think beautiful!
"You said you are a good citizen?" Chen Zhao sneered.

"The law of the Ming Dynasty belongs to the sage and the court, and the decision is made by the three judges. Whether you are a good citizen and whether you are guilty or not, the Ministry of Punishment, Dali Temple, the Metropolitan Procuratorate and the emperor have the final say. How can it be that guys like you just say nothing? !
Chen Zhao smiled lightly, and continued, "Search for me, don't let go of any clues, especially these little apprentices, find out their identities, and see if there are any unexpected discoveries!"

While Chen Zhao was talking, the corners of his mouth were full of disdain. The situation here had already been found out by the beggars below, and with the evidence of those gangsters who were afraid of death, some things were quite clear.

After receiving the order, the government officials who had surrounded the courtyard rushed into the courtyard with a bang. Suddenly, the courtyard where Huoyun Ban was located was in a panic, with shouts and panicked screams mixed together.

"You dog official! I will fight for you!"

Seeing this, the class leader knew that he couldn't get anything done today, so he gritted his teeth, shouted angrily, and suddenly shook his fists, like a dragon flying out of the sea, knocking away the two yamen servants around him, and rushed towards Chen Zhao.

The so-called capture the thief first capture the king!

As long as Chen Zhao is captured and held hostage, he will have a chance to escape!

As long as you escape your life and stay away from the capital, you can be free and at ease!

His martial arts are profound, and he has been hiding it all the time. With this move, he is like a tiger on the mountain, with awe-inspiring momentum, roaring towards Chen Zhao with a terrifying killing intent!

Boom boom boom...

For a moment, the wind of the fist was like a dragon, with the sound of swift and violent explosion, fierce and swift, it was no small matter.

Chen Zhao watched the punch coming, just smiled slightly, and didn't move.

"Bold madman!"

"Not yet!"

Chen Zhao didn't need to do anything at all, and immediately a few high-strength yamen servants were dispatched and rushed towards the class leader!Each body was as strong as the wind and the wind was like thunder, instantly trapping the class leader in it.

Shuntian Mansion is the No. [-] local government office in Ming Dynasty, and it is under the emperor's footsteps. In fact, there are many good people in it, but they have not been taken seriously until then.

However, after Chen Zhao entered the Shuntian Mansion, he quickly promoted them, and they existed as the backbone of the yamen servants, and their performance in the "strike hard" operation here was quite eye-catching.

These people have been valued, and a lot of money has been lost, so naturally everyone is the first to charge.

No matter how good the martial arts of the class leader is, he is still a wanderer, worrying about money every day, how can he defeat the officials of the court?
Therefore, he was controlled by the servants of Shuntian Mansion.

At the same time, other yamen servants also drew their swords and fought with those who tried to resist!
However, the battle came and ended quickly. With sufficient preparation, the government officials quickly controlled the guys from Huoyun Class. Many people screamed and fell in a pool of blood, but the government officials had no time to pay attention to them. Ignoring the troupe apprentice who turned pale with fright and cried loudly, he rushed into the room in the yard angrily. Soon there was a sound of banging and banging rummaging for things, and basically everything in the room was smashed. pulpy.

"My lord, I found it, I found it. There is a cellar in the backyard, and there are about twenty children imprisoned in it, both men and women!"

Not long after, a yamen servant rushed out with excitement on his face, he didn't even care to wipe off the bright red blood splattered on his face, which shows the excitement in his heart...

When dozens of white, tender, but terrified children were carried out, the whole street became a sensation!

"What, this troupe is actually a group of human traffickers?"

"This is simply a bastard!"

"Abduction and trafficking of children is an outrage between humans and gods! It's really unbearable!"

"I've known for a long time that they are not good people. They are sneaky all day long and make people suspicious!"

"The consciences of these people have been eaten by dogs!"

The public opinion of the surrounding people immediately changed!

People's hearts are fleshy. No matter whether the common people are rich or poor, they all hope that their children will grow up healthy and happy. No one would want their children to be abducted!
Zhen Shiyin in "Dream of Red Mansions" was abducted because of his child, and as a result, his spirit changed drastically, and he became a Taoist monk.

Therefore, in just a blink of an eye, this team immediately became the target of criticism.

Not only was the surrounding people a sensation, when Chen Zhao led the yamen servants to bring the traffickers and trafficked children back to the government yamen.

As a result, the entire Shuntian Mansion became a sensation!
This is destroying a den of human traffickers!A group of human traffickers were arrested and more than 20 abducted children were rescued. This achievement can be said to be huge!
And it is a great contribution of supreme merit!
Even Zhang Qingbo, Yin of Shuntian Prefecture, who had never dared to touch his hand, was shocked by it.

If such credits are all pushed out, I'm afraid Zhang Qingbo will become the laughing stock of the world!

So as soon as he received the news, he showed up and spoke, and praised Fu Cheng Chen Zhao greatly!
And under everyone's fiery eyes, not only announced the big rewards, but also asked everyone to make persistent efforts to return Shuntianfu to a bright future!
You know, human traffickers usually abduct children from wealthy families.

One reason is that they are all raised white and tender, so they are easy to sell.

Second, it can be sold at a good price.

So once the child's parental family is found, it will be a great network!

Being able to form a good relationship with so many powerful families is boundless for the development of myself and my family!

Chen Zhao personally sits in town and conducts uninterrupted interrogation for [-] hours. He quickly obtained a large amount of criminal evidence of buying and selling children from these traffickers. shocking.

Chen Zhao wrote these crimes into the memorial and handed it to Zhu Qizhen's desk before the morning court.

"Insane, really insane!"

When Zhu Qizhen saw the content in the memorial, Long Yan was furious immediately!At the Dachao meeting, he was also furious, and the reply demanded that the Shuntian Mansion strictly investigate to the end, not to be tolerated, and anyone who dares to stop him will be killed without mercy!

The civil and military officials of the whole dynasty were well-informed, so naturally they would not be in trouble at this time, even those officials who liked to contradict the emperor, none of them opened their mouths at this moment.

Because they know that offending the emperor can make them famous.If I offend the family power behind those children, I am afraid that I will die without a place to bury myself!

Of course, Chen Zhao would not give up. With the emperor's affirmation, he stepped up to interrogate the criminal facts of human trafficking in the Xiangqing class, and at the same time, according to the information revealed by the criminals, he followed the clues to catch all the traffickers involved.

The Ming Dynasty has been in peace for nearly a hundred years. Except for the battle to defend the capital ten years ago, the capital has always enjoyed peace. Therefore, black and evil elements, large and small, have risen one after another. Over the years, they have gradually formed a large-scale industry, spreading all over the city. Outside the city, they had a clear division of labor and a tight organization, and the crime area spread to the entire northern provinces.

The Shuntian government office acted quickly, and quickly arrested dozens of criminals related to it, and at the same time rescued nearly ten children who had just been robbed.

The case here is just the beginning.

After all, human traffickers are just an upstream industry.

The so-called no demand, no business.

No business, no harm!

Those midstream and downstream industries are much more powerful and powerful than some human traffickers!

After all, they are the ones who make the big bucks.

The so-called profit touches people's hearts, and some unscrupulous guys can do anything for profit.

Soon, Chen Zhao personally led the team and rushed directly to a famous brothel in the capital, escorted the bustards and girls inside to the hall, and beat the guests who dared to make trouble with sticks.

All of a sudden, no matter if they were gentry or scholars, they were all driven into the hall, watched by hundreds of soldiers with guns, while Chen Zhao led the yamen servants to break open the boxes and smash the cabinets, looking for the girls.

Each of the yamen servants held a stack of documents in their hands, which were all the features of the abducted girl.

Seeing this, the old bustard turned pale and trembled all over.

Although there is a big boss behind the Chunlou where they are located, and their status is very high, but once there is a child abduction, the big boss behind will immediately throw out the old bustard as a scapegoat without blinking.

Although there were thorny shouts in the hall, Chen Zhao didn't care. His purpose was not to demolish this brothel, so as not to conflict with the big boss behind them.

As long as we seize the matter of "child abduction and trafficking" and don't let it go, the big boss behind it, even if it is the British government, will cease to exist at this time.

Even the Southeast King or the Taiping King will be overthrown immediately if they mess with him!

But those who can open a brothel are all slick-faced people, and at this time they don't know how to get on the pole and stick out their face for him to slap, so after Chen Zhao tossed the brothel well, he left with the traffickers and girls who wanted to do it.

In one night, he raided seven brothels, rescued nearly a hundred abducted girls, and arrested dozens of stewards who were doing business with human traffickers. The whole capital was completely shocked...

But what is quite strange is that, after all his troubles, none of the officials "heard about the matter".

It's probably a sensitive moment, for fear of getting into trouble!

But Chen Zhao didn't intend to stop!
As his "strike hard operation" in Shuntian Prefecture continued to deepen, in addition to arresting a large number of criminals, he also discovered some extremely hidden clues.

The bosses behind the brothels and gambling houses in the capital are all high-ranking officials. They are either the Duke's Palace, the Marquis' Palace, or some other prince's palace.

Although most of the princes of the Zhu family are in the local area, it does not prevent them from opening brothels in the capital and inquiring about news.

Of course, some people are superficial, while some people are deeply hidden. If it weren't for the powerful intelligence network under Chen Zhao, they would not have discovered the hidden connection at all.

This is the most normal phenomenon!
The so-called "If you want to get rich, sell wine and vinegar as soon as you can"!
Where the emperor is, he is walking. At the feet of the emperor, hundreds of officials gather, and there is a lot of money flowing in every move. Doing business here, as long as you have a good eye, you will definitely make a fortune.

Not to mention opening brothels and gambling houses?
The benefits are touching. The speed at which these unorthodox businesses come in, or the speed at which they gather money, is much better than serious business.

Whether it is the big families who want to be rich and long, or the vassal kings who want to collect information, or even the Southeast King and Taiping King who have thoughts and ideas, all of them want to achieve a career.

And to be successful, all it takes is talent and money.

When they are at this point, it is impossible to do without money!

If you want to maintain a wealthy life and win over masters like Ye Gucheng and Honest Monk, you can't do it without money!

Chen Zhao also vaguely noticed some of the clues through the combination of investigations from the beggar gang and the government, but he didn't take it to heart.

As long as he can fight those criminals and make himself better, then he won't bother to deal with these forces!

However, some people not only wantonly make money, but also dare to deploy a small but capable armed force in the Gyeonggi area.

For example, the bandits from Bailong Mountain and Changyun Mountain some time ago!
It's no wonder that Zhu Qizhen was furious. Obviously, he had vigilance and preparedness in his heart, which led to Shuntian Mansion's "strike hard" action.

Not to mention Zhu Qizhen, the six ministers and the great scholars are also very afraid!

Why did Yu Qian have to die during the change of seizing the door?

It's not because he is a diehard loyalist of the late emperor!

When Cao Jixiang and Shi Heng teamed up to suppress the court, they relied on the 3000-strong black cavalry team!

Even if Chen Zhao hadn't urged Governor Zhang Qingbo to carry out the "Strike Hard" campaign, the imperial court would use other means to clean up the unstable factors in the Gyeonggi area, especially in the capital city.

Without Shuntian Mansion, he still has Jinyiwei!
In the final analysis, Chen Zhao followed the trend and won the unanimous approval of the emperor and the ruling and opposition parties.His actions by Chen Zhao just catered to the thoughts of the emperor and ministers, and thus he won the strong support of the government and the opposition.

It's ridiculous that Governor Zhang Qingbo still has doubts. He was afraid of wolves before and tigers later. His behavior would probably have angered the emperor. If it wasn't for the recent victories in Shuntian Mansion, he would have been the only governor whose cap was taken off.

Naturally, Chen Zhao is not afraid of offending others. Now Zhu Qizhen is determined to clean up the unstable factors. If anyone finds trouble with him, he can kill him at any opportunity.

Even if the news this time has passed, as long as Chen Zhao connects the matter with the secret cultivating forces, Zhu Qizhen will fall out no matter how good his temper is.

Besides, the world thought that Emperor Chenghua, who succeeded Zhu Qizhen, was soft-hearted, but in fact, Emperor Chenghua Zhu Jianshen was not a character to be fooled with. He clearly had more control over the court and the army than his father.

He will definitely understand that Chen Zhao's actions are a great contribution to maintaining the imperial court!
In other words, no matter whether Zhu Qizhen or Zhu Jianshen is in power, there will be no surprises in Chen Zhao's future.

Once a problem occurs, as long as it is not his fault, the emperor will definitely be the first to refuse to agree. This is a matter of principle and there is no need to discuss it.

With his official position and the level he can touch, he shouldn't be able to see such a long-term view.

But why should Chen Zhao be human?

Just through a little information and intelligence at hand, combined with the current situation of the court, the overall situation of the entire court can be easily seen clearly.

He can also follow the general trend of the court, follow the clues to analyze the composition and distribution of the major factions in the court, as well as the power of the ministers.

After all, he had been an emperor, a general, and a figure in the Jinyi Weidu Hall. He had rich experience in the court, and no one in the world could match him.

If it weren't for the fact that he was too young and many things were not suitable, he could have done more excessive and crazy things, but right now he is still taking every step and thinking about it every step of the way.

The harm is mutual. When he ruthlessly rectifies the law and order in Gyeonggi, pulls out cancerous tumors, and harms the interests of some people, it will naturally attract some people's revenge.

Chen Zhao himself is nothing to be afraid of, the worst thing is that even his mighty army can't stop him.

On this day, Governor Zhang Qingbo finished attending the small court meeting and came to the Yamen of Shuntian Mansion until early in the morning.

"Master Chen has done a good job. Today I handed over the memorial, and now I have praised Master Chen!"

Zhang Qingbo's face was full of smiles, and he smiled at Chen Zhao and said: "You still ask me to send you a message and do a good job. Mr. Chen is really in the heart of the emperor!"

In other words, the Shuntian Mansion made such a big commotion in the capital city yesterday and rescued hundreds of abducted boys and girls. The government and the public must know about such a big commotion.

If Zhu Qizhen didn't know, Jin Yiwei and Dongchang could all die.

"If the governor is not afraid of offending others, as long as he is determined, he can also win the love of his majesty!"

Chen Zhao smiled lightly, ignored the embarrassment on Zhang Qingbo's face, and exchanged a few words about work with Zhang Qingbo, and Zhang Qingbo naturally agreed.

"Master Chen, do you know that at the Xiaochao meeting today, there was a censor who impeached you, my lord!"

While tasting tea, Zhang Qingbo changed the subject without losing the opportunity, and said with a smile.

But after waiting for a while, Chen Zhao remained calm, as if he didn't care at all.

It seems that he was not the one impeached by the censor, isn't this reaction too flat?
"Master Chen, are you not worried at all?"

Zhang Qingbo couldn't help feeling a little strange.

Chen Zhao's reaction is not normal.

When most officials heard that they were impeached by the imperial censor, they immediately broke out in a cold sweat, or shouted loudly that they were wronged. Do you want some memorials to explain your case?

"A tree that is beautiful in the forest will be destroyed by the wind. This is expected. Is there anything to worry about?"

Chen Zhao's tone was calm, his face did not change at all, and he said calmly: "Although the imperial censor can hear about things, if the wind is a strong wind or a typhoon, and you have to bear it, I'm afraid that your family and life will not be able to bear it, and even more so. Not to mention becoming famous all over the world!

Zhang Qingbo was dumbfounded for a while, and roared in his heart: The plot shouldn't be like this, the anger that was promised, the roar that was promised, where are they going...

Good things don't go out, bad things spread thousands of miles!
The news that Chen Zhao was impeached by the imperial censor soon spread throughout the Yamen of Shuntian Mansion.

The old people in the yamen are naturally gloating. Although Chen Zhao's recent performance has made the whole yamen very popular, not everyone is willing to live such an exciting life that offends others.

Especially the yamen servant surnamed Liu, he was still resting at home, sighing every day, but when he heard the news, his spirits were uplifted, and he couldn't help but feel happy.

His younger brothers also suddenly remembered him and came to visit him. Lao Liu was even more happy.

Damn, I told you to do it!

"My lord, I heard that some officials have impeached you, are you alright?"

When Wu Fan heard the news, he hurriedly comforted the rescued children, and hurriedly found Chen Zhao to express his concern, and said angrily, "Those censors don't have anything to do all day, so they know they're causing trouble!"

He had just been transferred from the Criminal Department, and he and several of his colleagues were Chen Zhao's absolute confidants. Once something happened to Chen Zhao, their lives would never be better.

"fine!"

Waving his hand, Chen Zhao chuckled lightly and said in a cold voice: "The supervisory censor Zhang Ru is just talking nonsense about the matter of chasing rumors, it's okay!"

The one who impeached Chen Zhao was Zhang Ru, the sixth-rank supervisory censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate. He was impeached to convict someone of corruption, pervert the law, use power for personal gain, and at the same time, use cruel methods to disturb the people and start business, etc. In short, there are a lot of crimes.

Under his wonderful pen, Chen Zhao is simply the most treacherous minister in the past and present, and the common people will not hate him if he doesn't kill him!

It's a pity that you can't see the general trend, this is called life and death!
This is Chen Zhao's fair evaluation of the supervisory censor Zhang Ru. He can't even see the situation clearly. This guy is simply looking for death.It is true that Yushi has the power to hear rumors, but we have to see when this is, right?

When Zhu Qizhen's father Zhu Zhanji was in power, the country was prosperous and the people were safe, Zhu Zhanji played with crickets a few times, so the gang of censors seized the opportunity and scolded him, calling him "the cricket emperor" , Let Zhu Zhanji be in a mess!

As a result, the censor became famous all over the world, and he was promoted step by step. It can be said that he gained both fame and fortune.

But this is because he is attacking Zhu Zhanji's personal hobbies. Zhu Zhanji prides himself on being a wise man, so he naturally wants to protect his face, so it's good to promote this guy.

But it's different now.

Cleaning up the capital and carrying out strict crackdowns are not about the safety of the people in the capital, but about the safety of the emperor and the court chiefs!

Anyone who dares to block it will definitely be overwhelmed by this trend and have ten thousand feet on it!
