"Liu Qing, do you have any clues about what I asked you to investigate?"

Liu Xingzuo obviously didn't sleep and had been listening, so he immediately replied: "Back to Your Majesty, it is currently found that Luo Yangxing directly ordered not to round up the Ax Gang. As for why Luo Yangxing gave the sudden order, who contacted him to talk to him , the matter is still under investigation..."

When there was no reply, Hu Guang felt that the progress would not be smooth. It turned out to be related to Luo Yangxing, which was really difficult to investigate!

Thinking of this, Hu Guang didn't want to wait for the result any longer, so he ordered Liu Xingzuo: "Come and see me early tomorrow morning!"

Then, he switched to the East Factory working group and gave the same explanation to Cao Huachun.

Early the next morning, when Liu Xingzuo and Cao Huachun both rushed to see the emperor, they found that the other party had also been summoned. In this case, it is estimated that the emperor must do something.

Sure enough, after Hu Guang saw the two of them, he briefly said that building houses in Yongping would require a lot of labor, but it was not appropriate to recruit civilians.

After a little explanation, Hu Guang told the two of them: "You send people to inspect the prisons such as the Criminal Department and other prisons, and escort the prisoners who have committed serious crimes to Yongping to serve on equal terms; in addition..."

Having said this, he looked a little more serious and said: "The capital does not allow snakes, insects, rats and ants like the Ax Gang to exist, so I decided to use two days to launch a severe attack in the capital to get rid of all these snakes, insects, rats and ants. So. If you catch gang members, they will all be sent to Yongping for hard labor. Do you understand?"

Upon hearing this, Liu Xingzuo and Cao Huachun immediately responded: "I obey the order!"

"In order to prevent these gang members from having a back-up, informing them, interceding for them, etc., this severe crackdown must be kept secret in advance. It will be a thunderous strike at the beginning to try not to let the gang members slip through the net, especially those who are the main The person in charge; also, try to capture those who can be captured alive, the court lacks mature labor!"

When Hu Guang explained this, he naturally referred to the experience of later generations. In the past, there was indeed a period when social security was very poor. Later, many severe crackdowns were carried out, and the social environment suddenly improved a lot. He still remembered that before the crackdown, social elements even spread to his school. After the crackdown, the school suddenly became quiet.

At this time in the capital, although due to martial law and other measures, robberies rarely occurred. But now we need labor. These gang members are a cancer on social stability, so we take the opportunity to eradicate them. Even if it comes out again in the spring breeze, it does not prevent us from cracking down hard this time.

Cao Huachun and Liu Xingzuo responded again, and then Cao Huachun hesitated for a while and then said: "Your Majesty, the manpower here in Dongchang is still insufficient. I kindly ask you to send some more helpers."

"Your Majesty, I would like to second my opinion. We need to strike hard at these people and arrest as many as possible. I am afraid that the factory guards alone will not have enough manpower. These people are well-informed. As soon as they start to arrest, if they smell something wrong, they will Disappeared." Liu Xingzuo also followed suit.

When Hu Guang heard this, he thought for a moment and realized that it was indeed the case. He then ordered a decree to be sent to Gao Shiyue, the eunuch in charge of the Royal Horse Supervisor, and asked him to deploy the Royal Horse Supervisor's manpower to cooperate with the factory guards in arresting him.

As for the Beijing camp, all the capable soldiers were sent out due to food control. It's hard to say whether the remaining old and weak ones can defeat the gang's men or whether they can escape. And it's hard to say whether there is any contact with those gang members in the Beijing camp.

There was also the manpower of the Wucheng Army and Horse Division, and Hu Guang didn't believe it even more. Without the connivance of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division, it would be even harder for this kind of gang to get along.

After the decree was announced, the three giants took action urgently and took half a day to prepare.

Gao Shiyue removed 5,000 troops from Tengxiang's four guards, while Cao Huachun only transferred 700 Dongchang officers, including many newcomers. Liu Xingzuo had more, with 2,000 Jinyi guards. Available.

A total of 7,700 people were divided into groups of more than a hundred. Based on the original intelligence of the factory guards, they were spread throughout the capital to form a skynet. Then they suddenly announced the mission and began a rare severe crackdown in the capital.

In a remote house somewhere in the slums of the capital, it looks unpopular from the outside and seems to be an empty house. But inside the room, there were nearly ten people busy.

The division of labor among these people is very clear. Two people are busy cutting rice paper, using a template in their hands to cut into small pieces. One person sorts the small pieces according to their sizes and sends them to the table where the other two are immersed in writing. Go up and ask the two people there to write something on this piece of writing.

The small pieces of paper written by these two people will be placed on the fire kang, and the writing on the paper will be dried in a while. Then someone will collect the pieces of paper and send them to another table. Someone there was holding a few stamps and was very happy. The last person took the stamped pieces of paper to the kang to dry, then collected them and sent them to the last table.

There were two people sitting at this table, drinking tea leisurely, with smiles on their faces that couldn't be concealed. The older one smiled at the younger one and said, "How about it, Ergou? Isn't it easy to make money from this kind of business?"

"The gang leader is very capable. As long as we sell the grain we receive on the black market, we can make a lot of money!" Wu Ergou nodded in agreement.

In fact, when he drove the carriage to receive these imperial rice papers, he already understood what the mysterious gentleman asked the gang leader to do. This is indeed a good deal. With a little effort, you can make a lot of money without shouting or shouting.

Unexpectedly, after hearing what he said, the gang leader shook his head and said: "No, we don't come out to collect food directly, but go to the black market to sell these food stamps at low prices. We sell them all at once in a short time, and then we Let the people who sell food stamps hide, so that we can make a lot of money without any risk, do you understand?"

Wu Ergou was a little stunned after hearing this. This didn't seem like the gang leader's style! If you do this, you will make a lot less money. But he quickly came to his senses, and it must have been the mysterious gentleman who told him.

He made a calculation in his mind, this kind of one-shot deal and sending people to collect the food by himself, the kind of long-term flow of water, found that if he had to rush to get rid of it, he would make a lot of money for less money.

Suddenly, a thought occurred to him, isn't this the main purpose of making money? If so, what is the purpose of doing this?

While he was thinking, he suddenly heard a "bang" sound coming from outside, and then the sound of chaotic footsteps came over. Among these voices, there were also low-pitched shouts.

Almost instinctively, Wu Ergou pulled out the ax stuck in his waist behind his back and hurriedly moved toward the door, trying to hide behind it.

After he made a move, the gang leader reacted. Instead of going to the door, he went to the back door in panic. The remaining people looked blank and didn't know what was going on.
