Chapter 1065: Another Assassination
After having a child, Wang Yan spent more time at home.

Anyway, everyone is already familiar with the work process. If you can't stand it, come to Wang Xunyuan as soon as possible. So he only went for half a day in the morning, and returned home at noon to look after the children and comfort Shulan.

When he was taking care of his children, all the members of the Xunyuan Yamen, which had been running at high speed, under the wise leadership of Inspector Wang, completed the feat of cleaning up medium-sized criminal gangs in Bianjing City without fear of hardships and hardships.

The criminal gangs in the city were involved in the downstream criminal industry chain, which was also involved in the reselling of weapons in the military, as well as other businesses such as real estate processing and human trafficking. Most of them are various intermediary businesses in Bianjing City. Wang Yan has basically broken up the business of buying and selling people in the past two months.

At the same time, it is not limited to the city, because Wang Yan's principle is to expand the area of ​​​​attack, and anyone who comes into contact must be skinned. From the seventeen counties of Kaifeng Prefecture, countless large families in the capital, local officials, and local criminal gangs were brought out.

After all, no matter how many criminal gangs there are in the city, they are still only a handful of people. In a big city with a population of one million, there are only ten thousand professional criminals who specialize in illegal and criminal activities. There are ten or twenty thousand remaining hooligans, which is still in line with the social structure, but the people of Bianjing cannot afford any more.

The criminal gangs in the capital are easy to fight, and they are not hard-core. Following the orders of Inspector Wang, he was arrested quickly, tried quickly, and sentenced harshly, so the people in the yamen had no time to grind. The working procedure of the interrogation team led by He San is to capture a person and beat him with a whip dipped in cold water before questioning him.

If it doesn't work, then do something harsh, like burning the skin, pulling out the nails, putting bricks on it, etc. If this doesn't work, then the famous Brother He will cut his flesh with a knife.

A group of professional hooligans who usually have an older brother and a younger brother, but are not that hard-boned. Except for the real lunatics, most of them are petty players who bully the weak and are afraid of being strong. Correspondingly, when most people were brought in and received the first beating that symbolized greetings from the patrol, they were ready for anything. But the beating he deserves will not be less at all.

As for counties outside Bianjing City, it will be much more difficult. One is because of the distance, and the other is because of the obstacles encountered in handling cases elsewhere. But the good thing is that the police officers go out with evidence instead of looking for evidence when they get there.

Wang Yan is very tough, and he will arrest anyone who obstructs him. After arresting the person, find fault again, provide evidence of the crime, and deal with the person. So although local affairs were troublesome, and although Wang Yan had offended the local magistrates all over, things were still going smoothly. They didn't involve high-level people, and they had all been checked by him in the past two months.

It must have been impossible to clean it thoroughly. After all, the legs are on his own body. There was a lot of movement on Wang Yan's side. Many people thought about whether they were going to be hit too. They had already packed up and ran away with others. .

Wang Yan can't do anything about this kind of thing. His manpower is limited and it's impossible to control everyone accurately. There was no Internet in the Song Dynasty, so the sea arrest documents issued were of little use. These people are also bandits outside, and it is difficult to survive in this place.

Because of the transportation and economic constraints at this time, the regional nature was very strong. In a village or a county, if there are no major changes, the life around people can basically remain unchanged. Although household registration is not a problem, life is. The useless sea fishing documents will be useful at this time. It's not that they want to go to the mountains, it's just that they can't go.

If you don't go to the mountains, you have to go to neighboring countries, and it's a different situation there. Unless absolutely necessary, no one is willing to take such a desperate risk. Nine out of ten people will still have to go up the mountain.

Wang Yan did not insist on these leaked gangsters. Drive them out and they can never come back.

Because the inspection team he led completely shattered the black property they had accumulated for many years and also shattered their personal network. The most important thing is that he brought up the status of the Xunyuan Yamen. Even if it will still decay after he leaves office, suppressing the gangsters is enough. The former gangster leader no longer has a place in Bianjing City. It's just that he probably didn't get beaten a few times and was sent to the northwest to die.

These are not troubles. The real trouble is that as Wang Yan's actions expand, more inside information becomes known. There was also a government office, Dali Temple, that wanted to intervene in the money distribution.

This is the most serious prison institution. Wang Yan arrested many officials, and eventually they all had to be first tried by Dali Temple and reviewed by the Ministry of Punishment. But they found that they had done all the dirty work, but their homes had been confiscated by the Inspectorate. The lowest-level clerks and patrol officers in the Inspectorate's yamen were treated better than some officials, so of course they It's not balanced. So he wrote a letter to Zhao Zhen, accusing Wang Yan of acting beyond his authority.

Of course, Wang Yan overstepped his authority. He was not qualified to deal with officials, but he could obey the authority in a hurry. He did what he said was urgent. Of course he knew what Dali Temple and the Ministry of Punishment wanted to share, or monopolize the wealth of those officials. They also wanted to improve their treatment.

Wang Yan was happy about their money grabbing behavior. There was no doubt that this was a good thing. The fundamental significance of this incident is that the people in Dali Temple realized the benefits of recruiting officials to work in large households, which can not only increase work performance but also make money.

But joy comes as joy comes. Wang Yan is not going to forgive such players who dare to challenge. So when he knew that they were interfering with him in front of Zhao Zhen, he retaliated with tooth and sent people directly to Dali Temple and the Yamen of the Ministry of Punishment to arrest them, which was very arrogant.

Why did someone make trouble with the Sheng family's usury money before, so he was dismissed from his post as the envoy and the matter was left unsolved?
Zhao Zhen's silent support must be one of the reasons. The main reason is that Wang Yan really makes money by confiscating houses, and also because Wang Yan started to clean up the "redundant officials and redundant personnel". He arrested the officials, and some positions were filled, and some were taken advantage of the situation. The preparation was abolished. Wang Yan also arrested many people who had no power but had official positions. They are all kinds of shady support, and they all belong to the families of powerful people. Of course, Wang Yan only targeted individuals and did not expand the attack.

This way, we both increase revenue and reduce expenditure. Of course Zhao Zhen is happy to see the success, and he also understands that Wang Yan is an absolutely loyal minister of the Song Dynasty, and it is all for him Zhao Song.

But Zhao Zhen's strength was not that great. Since he shared the world with the scholar-bureaucrats, the emperor's power was restricted to a considerable extent, and Zhao Zhen was far from being able to speak out. So Zhao Zhen's acquiescence was the reason, but it was not the main reason.

It was the last time when the political affairs hall was accountable, Wang Yan gave Zhou Kongmu a hard blow in front of the hall. This was the main reason. In other words, why Wang Yan dared to fire on important ministers of the country was the reason why Wang Yan arrested and implicated him extensively and expanded the scope of his attack.

If he dared to report Zhou Kongmu directly, it would prove that he had other important ministers in his hands. If Wang Yan really let everything go, there would be no room for relaxation.

This is not something that since everyone has something wrong with them, just pretend it didn't happen and end it by just beating Wang Yan to death. Because the evidence Wang Yan has is the truth, it is 'correct', and it is a complete denial of the officials' standing in the world.

Unexpectedly, on the second day after Wang Yan annexed the right courtyard, Zhou Kongmu personally tied up his son Wu Huada and sent him to Dali Temple, and then asked Zhao Zhen to resign. Zhao Zhen was sent out to be a county magistrate because of his feelings, and he would only continue to be a county magistrate in various places in the future, and his decades of hard work were in vain. If your physical fitness is not good, you will basically die on the road to travel.

Wang Yan himself is quite upright. If he really wants to be investigated, he is just doing business under false pretenses. The Sheng family is also relatively stable. Otherwise, the previous wave of criticism would not have been just a usury.

Therefore, even if Wang Yan goes a little overboard, he is not afraid of accountability afterwards. Because he went too far, but not too much.

That is to say, the Shaoqing of Dali Temple (second in command) and many officials below him, as well as the Minister of Punishment (first in command) of the Ministry of Justice, a minister (second or third in command), several doctors, foreign ministers, and other officials were all arrested at once. got up.

After all, what he arrested was a gang of gangsters, and all the crimes he was involved in were gangster crimes. Dali Temple and the Ministry of Punishment were the corresponding yamen. He had the most evidence of official protection and collusion between officials and businessmen. These two yamen could be said to have the most.

However, after arresting the person, Wang Yan directly submitted an official document to the Political Affairs Hall, asking the Political Affairs Hall to handle the matter. At the same time, he wrote to Zhao Zhen, taking the initiative to plead guilty, and actively applied to Dali Temple and the Ministry of Punishment to participate in the arrest, interrogation, and interrogation of the officials. In the activity of confiscating houses, the Ministry of Punishment and the Dali Temple supervised the execution, and the patrol courts carried out the execution. The money accounts were divided among the three families, with the Ministry of Punishment doing the most and the patrol courts the least.

Wang Yan's combination of boxing not only officially started the campaign to implicate high-level officials, but also cleaned up the Ministry of Punishment and Dali Temple. It could also be classified as a conflict with each other. After all, it was the Ministry of Punishment and Dali Temple who took the initiative to cause trouble. Wang Yan didn't just fire rashly.

In fact, many people would be satisfied with Wang Yan if he didn't catch himself, because Wang Yan is really a sharp knife. Less than half a year after taking office, he worked all night long, his work attitude was impeccable, and his work results were even more appalling.

Including officials, the inspection court arrested tens of thousands of people and implicated more than 20,000 people. They confiscated fields, shops, various silks and satins, various calligraphy and painting treasures, gold, silver and copper, etc., with a total value of more than 10 million. Guan, this is a scary number, more than the cash it took Song two years to collect.

The increasingly professional house-searching team is busy day and night. Dozens of accountants in the patrol court are working together to do the calculations, and they haven't finished the calculations yet.

When it comes to who is the best at making money in the Song Dynasty, all the officials from top to bottom would definitely recommend Wang Yan, and no one would be dissatisfied.

But if they think that this money comes from themselves or even their own family, then the majority of officials will feel uncomfortable...

Once again, I was sitting at the bottom of the political hall. It had been more than three months since I last came to Ouchi and came to the political hall to accept accountability.

"I heard that Wang Qing had a son the day before yesterday?"

"My thoughts are with you, my mother and son are safe."

Shulan gave birth successfully, and Wang Yan named his second son Wenxia, ​​who was also destined to be unlucky for a lifetime... Zhao Zhen, who was in the top position, nodded and said with a somewhat gratified smile: "Very good, very good. Wang Qing's parents died early." , I am alone, and now I can give you a pair of jade pendants to add some joy to Wang Qing's entrance. "

"It's also a blessing. Thank you for the reward." Wang Yan stood up and saluted to express his thanks.

After he sat down again, Pang Ji cleared his throat and spoke: "Today, I summoned the Inspector Wang to come here to discuss the reform of the Inspectorate. It has been more than three months since the Charter of the Inspectorate reform was submitted. The envoy and judge of the Right Court are vacant, and you are also in charge of the affairs of the Right Court, and your achievements are obvious to all. The officials and I want to see how you manage the affairs of the two chambers, and we also want to make a good living to discuss the pros and cons of merging the two chambers.

Now it seems that the advantages of merging hospitals outweigh the disadvantages. Therefore, I have called you here today so that you can explain how to change things. How to arrange the patrolling and forbidden troops..."

Pang Ji was a reformist before, but like Han Qi, Fu Bi and others, he later tended to be conservative. But they are not really conservatives. They just dare not seek big breakthroughs and cannot accomplish anything big.

In fact, Wang Yan, Pang Ji and most people in the political hall did not like him. Because Wang Yan's style of doing things is fierce and wild, like a violent storm, rather than the spring breeze and rain that the scholar-bureaucrats admire.

Everyone knows that Wang Yan is a firm believer in reform. But Wang Yan never said he wanted to change, but everything he did was changing. Not mentioning Hangzhou, just by asking him to serve as an inspector, he was solving financial problems, solving the problems of redundant staff and redundant expenses. At the same time, he also cracked down on a large number of large households and opened up a certain degree of upward channels. In half a year, the atmosphere in Bianjing has undergone tremendous changes.

They all admitted that Wang Yan was a good sword, but they couldn't stand it when the sword came to them. After all, a person who was able to sweep down even minor officials in the Ministry of Punishment would be unpopular no matter what.

But as everyone knows, this is already Wang Yanchun's method to change the situation. Otherwise, he would have had his head beheaded if he didn't do anything in the political hall.

After all, destroying the interests of those with vested interests, for those with vested interests, perhaps the only way to stop the storm is to kneel down and call them daddy...

Of course Wang Yan was aware of his situation, and even more aware of the purpose of the Political Affairs Hall calling him here today.

In fact, the purpose is very simple, just to convey the message to him and let him do a good job in the reform of the inspection court, and the crackdown operation can come to an end. They hoped that Wang Yan would stop here and find something for Wang Yan to do. In other words, if Wang Yan still doesn't stop, they will help Wang Yan stop.

Wang Yan couldn't stop this. After all, these were leaders, and they had greater power. He has to listen to orders, and he can't do otherwise. This also shows that the conservatives still won this battle.

It’s no wonder he doesn’t have any teammates, he also arrests reformists...

Wang Yan didn't pay attention to the vague warnings of these people. Instead, he stood in the political hall and talked endlessly about the reform plan of the inspection court.

That's basically it, but it's a little more detailed. For example, on the issue of total staff establishment, Wang Yan's opinion is that there are more than 500 yamen in the east, west, and south, and more than 500 yamen in the main. The placement of the forbidden troops in the military patrol shop can retain those who have not committed crimes and misdeeds and integrate them into the patrol court on the spot. There are separate fire patrol departments and cleaning departments, each with a staff of more than 500 people. They are responsible for the fire situation and sanitation in the city, and also assist other departments in their work.

In Bianjing City, there were already dedicated personnel responsible for the city's sanitation and cleanliness. Wang Yan asked them to come over and manage them uniformly.

In other words, the future patrol yuan will be responsible for all the messy things. It will be a super-large yamen that integrates the functions of civilian police, criminal police, armed police, prison guards, fire police, urban management, sanitation and other functions.

Zhao Zhen and Zhengshitang basically accepted Wang Yan's reorganization suggestions. The only dissatisfaction was that they wanted to reduce the establishment. But this is impossible. After all, in a big city with a population of one million, only 2,000 people are officially established to maintain public order, which is not comprehensive. Relatively speaking, there are fewer manpower now than before.

But it still requires a large number of helpers, otherwise it will be impossible to do the work of the whole city well.

"The plan has been decided, and the Inspector Wang will be solely responsible for this matter. The Deputy Inspector and the other judges will be arranged to take office soon. What does the Inspector Wang think?"

"Your Majesty will do as you are told."

"Okay, since I have taken care of this matter, I will return to the palace. Wang Qing, come and see me again."

"The minister obeys the order."

Wang Yan saluted all the leaders of the Political Affairs Hall and left with Zhao Zhen.

They are all smart people. Zhao Zhen certainly believed that Wang Yan had understood the spirit of leadership, so he really just asked Wang Yan to check his body, said some words of encouragement, and then let Wang Yan leave.

Whether Zhao Zhen was lustful or eager to have a son, he did not follow Wang Yan's medical advice. Wang Yan did have good intentions, but unfortunately Zhao Zhen couldn't control it...

He really did his best, and it was quite interesting.

As for Zhao Zhen not supporting his continued expansion, Wang Yan didn't really care. After all, he had never relied on Zhao Zhen. The foundation of his own career is his ability to do things, solve problems, and make money. It is not someone from any faction who protects him. While he did have some supporters, they were clearly not enough.

Wang Yan wandered out of the imperial city, taking Xiao Dongliang with him, still walking so comfortably.

After turning around Yujie and heading towards the road past the Xunyuan Yamen, this was a busier street that he deliberately chose. There are small two- and three-story buildings on both sides, with teahouses, wine shops, etc., and there are many pedestrians coming and going.

We just entered the street and walked a few steps. Wang Yan's originally slow pace slowed down even more.

Xiao Dongliang, who was looking around, paused quickly and asked in confusion: "Alang?"

Wang Yan's eyes casually scanned the space in front of him, and he said lightly: "Send the trumpet arrows and blow the whistle."

"Huh? Is there someone up to no good?" Although he was asking questions, Xiao Dongliang's hands were faster than his brain. He opened his mouth and glanced quickly. At the same time, he took out the delicate little slave from his waist and pulled the trigger straight into the sky.

The specially-made short-headed crossbow arrow was activated and flew rapidly into the sky. The speed drove the air to flow in the specially-made structure of the arrow, and a sharp sound was immediately heard.

Xiao Dongliang grabbed the long whistle hanging around his neck again and blew it as hard as he could. The whistle was equally sharp and penetrating.

Following the movements of Xiao Dongliang, the busy street experienced a short period of silence and suddenly became panicked. People hurriedly ran to the shops on both sides or hid on the side of the road, leaving a large open space.

It was also when the crowd was panicking that Wang Yan kicked the little pillar away with a light kick, and he himself even moved left and right.

When he stopped, he saw arrows scattered on the ground. A few arrows were stuck in the gaps between the stone slabs, and their tail ends were buzzing and trembling...

I would like to express my daily gratitude to the good brothers who vote monthly, recommend and read quietly for their strong support!
