Usually when they leave office at noon, these ministers are all very lazy. Coupled with the beautiful scenery in autumn, they usually walk and chat about which pub they should go to for dinner.
But today is different. When it is about to close the office, these ministers are filing out.
After leaving the imperial city, they either got on a carriage, took a sedan chair, or walked, and dispersed in all directions.
"Brother, please slow down."
Su Che shouted after Su Shi.
"We can't be slow. This is a big lawsuit and we must not let others snatch it away." Su Shi walked even faster.
Su Zhe looked anxious and said: "Brother, this matter is not simple. Don't be impulsive."
Su Shi said: "What am I impulsive about? This is the responsibility of our procuratorate."
Suddenly I heard someone next to me say: "This is obviously the responsibility of my Legal Aid Department."
"Um?"
Su Shi turned his head and saw Fan Chunren walking out of the alley next to him. He immediately argued: "Last time, I carefully studied the powers of our procuratorate. We are proactive in prosecuting, and your Legal Aid Department is passive in prosecuting. Now The big events have nothing to do with you."
Fan Chunren said: "If something serious happens, I will immediately apply to return to the procuratorate."
"Go back to the prosecutor's office?"
Su Shi suddenly remembered that Fan Chunren seemed to be his immediate boss, and suddenly thought: "Mr. Fan, this matter is such a big deal, and the number of people involved in the lawsuit may reach hundreds. Why don't we each take responsibility for a part?"
Fan Chunren said: "As the deputy prosecutor, you should assist me."
Su Shi said: "As a prosecutor, you should take the overall situation into consideration and let me handle the litigation in court."
"I can't leave such a big thing to you easily." Fan Chunren shook his head.
Su Zhe caught up from behind and gasped: "You two, you two, please stop arguing. This matter has not been clarified yet."
Su Shi had not yet answered. Fan Chunren said: "They actually used such reckless methods. No matter how reasonable they are, they should not do it."
Su Shi nodded repeatedly and said: "At this time, there must be a lot of chaos over there, and blood is flowing like a river. If we don't stop it quickly, the consequences may be disastrous."
"Hurry up, hurry up, isn't it here yet? Why is this carriage moving slower than me?"
Sima Guang, who never liked riding in carriages, shamelessly commandeered a public carriage today and rushed to the dense residential area west of the Guanyin Temple with Wen Yanbo and Lu Gongzhu.
Seeing Sima Guang fidgeting and sweating profusely, Lu Gongzhu comforted him: "Jun Shi, don't be anxious first. I don't think this is necessarily true. They did a good job before and everything was in order. Why?" Are you so reckless all of a sudden? Could the news be wrong?"
Wen Yanbo shook his head and said: "There is no way the news is wrong. News of police patrols demolishing houses came from more than 20 places at the same time. There is no way it is false."
Lu Gongzhu frowned and said: "If it is true, the consequences will be disastrous and the people will not be able to fight with them."
After listening to this, Sima Guang could imagine the scene in his mind. A group of patrolmen ran to demolish someone's house, and there would definitely be mourning all over the place.
He made a fist with his right hand and hit the palm of his left hand hard, saying "Hey" in great annoyance.
He was an insider. If something happened, even if Zhang Fei didn't shake him out, he would still be responsible for it. He would have scolded Zhang Fei half to death in his heart.
We must not spare that boy lightly this time.
He really never expected that Zhang Fei would directly use force, because Zhang Fei had just resorted to one move to file a lawsuit before.
After a while, the coachman groaned and the carriage slowly stopped.
"Report to Duke Wen!"
Before the groom could finish his words, Sima Guang rushed out.
However, the sight before him surprised him.
On the empty streets, there were no so-called wailings everywhere, only a few men were seen cleaning the stove next to the door.
Sima Guang looked back at the groom, "Did you go to the wrong place? Where is this?"
Wen Yanbo, who came out later, looked around and said, "Yes, it should be here."
The groom scratched his head and said, "All the shacks outside have been demolished."
"Total dismantling?"
Mr. Lu got off the carriage and looked at the empty street in front of him in surprise.
Impossible!
The news they had just received only lasted three hours, how could it be possible that it had all been demolished.
Sima Guang hurried over and asked a man who was cleaning the stove: "Brother, what happened here?"
The young man saw that Sima Guang was wearing official uniform and said quickly: "Sir, we have demolished everything here. Why don't you go somewhere else to take a look."
Wen Yanbo, who came up later, asked: "Is anyone injured?"
The little brother shook his head hurriedly and said: "No, no, no! We just asked, but... we didn't resist."
Wen Yanbo was surprised, "No resistance?"
"Really do not have."
The little brother said: "We helped to dismantle it, otherwise it wouldn't have been so fast."
".?"
The three of them were immediately dumbfounded.
What's happening here?
When did the people of Song Dynasty become so reasonable?
Lu Gong said: "How about we go somewhere else and take a look."
Maybe this is just a special case?
too exaggerated!
The three of them immediately got into the carriage and headed north, rushing to the residential area east of Majing Street.
Zhouqiao.
"What?"
Su Shi, who had just arrived here, exclaimed: "Everything has been demolished?"
The aunt in front of him said: "Yes! They were all dismantled."
Fan Chunren asked: "How many people did they come?"
"There are dozens of people."
"Only a few dozen?"
Su Che looked confused. Hundreds of people could easily stand up here. How could it be so easy? He wondered, "You just let them demolish it."
The aunt saw that they were all officials, so she said: "We know that those patrolmen are doing it for our own good. They are also afraid of flooding and not having time to put out the fire. And they have promised to compensate us for the stall, so of course we are willing."
Su Shi asked curiously: "Compensate for your stall?"
"yes!"
The aunt said: "A patrolman said that the government will open the street for poor people like us and allow us to set up stalls."
"You also believe this?" Su Shi blurted out.
The aunt looked shocked, "Are you trying to trick us?"
"no no."
Fan Chunren hurriedly said: "We just came to ask if anyone was injured."
The lady hurriedly said: "One person is injured."
"Did the patrolman beat him?"
"No, I accidentally injured my foot when I was helping to remove it."
"Help with the demolition?"
"We all helped to dismantle it."
"Okay, as long as no one gets hurt! Excuse me."
Fan Chunren bowed his hand.
After the lady left, Su Shi said: "They are lying! Even if the Royal Street is opened, how can there be enough space for so many people to set up stalls."
Fan Chunren breathed a sigh of relief at first, and then said: "Since they dare to say that, they must have their own plans. It's good that no one is hurt."
I looked back at the street again, feeling like I was dreaming.
How can this be?
Quyuan Street.
An old man and a young man were walking on the messy streets, looking at the people who were cleaning up.
These two people are Lu Huiqing and Wang Anshi.
"The process in these three places is the same. First, someone sets a fire with a torch, and then the police chief holds the torch and wants to kill them all to intimidate the people. Then he uses the streets to seduce them, and uses both kindness and force to control these people into obedience.
."
"Needless to say, the person holding the torch must have been bribed by them a long time ago." Wang Anshi said with a smile.
Lu Huiqing nodded: "The students think so too."
"Zhang San's knife really hit the opponent seven inches above." Wang Anshi said.
Lu Huiqing asked: "What did my teacher say?"
Wang Anshi asked with a smile: "If you are allowed to do it, how do you think those powerful people will oppose this matter?"
"Of course I can borrow these people..." As soon as the words came out, Lu Huiqing reacted suddenly, "What does my teacher mean, Zhang San's strategy is to deal with these poor people first, and then deal with the powerful?"
Wang Anshi smiled and said: "That must be the case, but it must be done quickly. Even if it takes a whole night, with the power of those powerful people, the matter may turn around."
At this point, he sighed: "Can we use this trick?"
He is a national reformer and cannot win with speed.
Lu Huiqing said: "But now they have only cleared more than 20 relatively dense streets, but there are still many street intrusions."
Wang Anshi said: "If the other party incites the people to make trouble, they must concentrate their manpower to quickly make the matter bigger, and these places are the most dangerous. As for those who are scattered, they will not be able to make a big impact in a short while.
If I were Zhang San, I would tell those people that the Royal Street stalls are limited and first come, first served, and those people would immediately invite the patrolmen to demolish them."
Lu Huiqing nodded slightly and suddenly thought of something, "The Royal Street really cannot accommodate so many stalls."
Wang Anshi pondered for a while, "I don't know about this, but I think that since he dared to say that, there must be a way to solve it."
quick!
This is really too fast!
In just one morning, 23 residential areas in the city were directly demolished.
So much so that these courtiers, who are accustomed to being undisciplined, felt as if they were in a dream.
You young people don’t have martial ethics!
When the General Police Department demolished the walls before, they were so unhurried and everything was in order. So far, the walls have not been completely demolished.
The rhythm is very good and suits them quite well.
Moreover, it also fully demonstrates the fact that the General Police Department is short of manpower.
At that time, they were thinking that the General Police Department would definitely do it step by step. Even if it was done at the same time, there would still be a process. Judging from their experience, it would take three months at the earliest.
As long as the General Police Department dares to demolish houses, they can incite the people to cause trouble and fight for them against the General Police Department.
This is also their usual routine.
After all, it is indeed illegal to invade the street. They can't tell Zhao Xu that I am violating the rules and I will not demolish them. On the surface, everyone still has to be reasonable and abide by the law.
As long as the people make a fuss.
It is to compete with the people for profit.
It's just disrupting people's livelihood.
Moreover, when they lost the whereabouts of Cao Dongdong and the others, they were worried that they would be caught off guard, so they bribed some people in these dense residential areas.
As long as the patrolmen come to break it up and let these people just make trouble, we will protect you.
But they never expected that the other party would also arrange a trap, and it would be even more ruthless than theirs. No matter how fierce the quarrel was, no one would dare to set fire to the house, otherwise they would all end up together.
The key point is that the General Police Department did not use the existing patrol officers, and they had been keeping an eye on those patrol officers. They never thought that the General Police Department would directly transfer three battalions from the Divine Guard Army, totaling 1,500 people.
This morning, 23 dense residential areas in the capital were renovated.
It was really lightning fast.
Although they now know that the torch-bearer must be a traitor arranged by the General Police Department, they do not have any evidence.
If there is no accident and the emperor goes there to cause trouble, the emperor will only praise the police department for a job well done.
Such a big project could be completed in one morning without causing public outrage.
Must like.
Now the wood is finished.
How to do it?
Stall replacement.
Where are there so many stalls in your Royal Street?
It’s not enough to fill the entire Royal Street.
So they took advantage of this and said that the police station was all a liar. Everyone must not believe it. They would not be able to provide so many stalls by then.
Let’s leave the rest aside. Even the more than 20 residential areas that have been demolished cannot be accommodated by Yujie.
"Come on, Xiaoma, let's toast to Chief Cao. Chief Cao has really done a great job in this mission!"
"Brother, Xiao Ma respects you!"
"Where! Where! Did it!"
Cao Dongdong put the wine glass on one side, wiped his mouth, and said: "Xiao Ma, you didn't see how powerful my brother was at that time. He took the torch and went to burn it, but it frightened those people, and some of the ladies even cried from fear.
Yeah. Haha!”
Ma Xiaoyi was shocked and said: "This is not arranged."
Cao Dongdong suddenly became depressed. Wouldn't he know how to drink and spank?
"Xiao Ma, you can't say that." Zhang Fei waved his hand and said, "This also requires acting skills. At that time, whoever's hand shakes first loses."
Cao Dongdong immediately said: "Zhang San, I would like to propose a toast to you."
As soon as I picked up the cup, the door was pushed open.
I saw Cao Ping standing in front of the door with a gloomy face, "You guys are already drunk?"
"Daddy!"
Cao Dongdong said: "My child has made great achievements and deserves a good celebration."
Cao Ping glared at him and walked in.
Zhang Fei stood up quickly and said, "Chief Superintendent, please take a seat."
Cao Ping sat down with a golden sword, "Although you have completed the task well, it is too early to celebrate now. You only cleared those dense residential areas, but there are still many street intrusions.
But now there are rumors outside that our headquarters is deceiving the people, and the Royal Street simply cannot afford so many stalls to replace them. You should act quickly, otherwise, once the people believe them, we will definitely have difficulty in the future."
Zhang Fei smiled and said: "Chief Superintendent, please rest assured, Yujie is just a flaw I left for them to use to cause panic."
Cao Ping asked curiously: "Why is this?"
Zhang Fei said: "If it doesn't cause panic, people won't come to ask for demolition. The chief superintendent can wait for one more day. After one day, our police station will be full of people."
Cao Ping asked curiously: "But there are really not enough stalls in Yujie!"
Zhang Fei said: "I plan to include the street from the west gate of Xiangguo Temple to Yujie within the scope of Yujie. This will create a lot of land. Moreover, this street will definitely be prosperous in the future."
Cao Ping wondered: "When did you go to Xiangguo Temple?"
Ma Xiaoyi was also curious and said: "Third brother, there is someone in my family at Xiangguo Temple, why don't you ask me for help."
Zhang Fei said: "I have never been to Xiangguo Temple."
"Then why do you requisition it?"
"I have checked that Xiangguo Temple has street intrusions in many places, which is also one of our targets for rectification. Moreover, I will also tell them that this street is requisitioned specifically for the Queen Mother and officials to enter Xiangguo Temple to burn incense and worship Buddha. It's just that
In normal times, it is used for people to do business."
As public opinion fermented, this indeed caused panic among the people, including those who had already been demolished, for fear of being cheated.
But if they don't dismantle it, they can only wait for the results to come out.
At this moment, the long-lost news suddenly appeared in various restaurants.
The article in the News was published in the name of the General Police Department. It first boasted about the great achievements of the General Police Department during this period, including how many shacks and walls were demolished.
At the same time, he said that there were indeed not enough stalls on the Imperial Street, so he had to find other places to set up stalls for the people. He also said that the entire street from the west of Xiangguo Temple to the Imperial Street would be included in the Imperial Street in order to supplement the stalls.
If people go to the police station to apply and voluntarily demolish it, it will be done on a first-come, first-served basis.
This imperial street runs through the north and south, dividing the east and west, and Xiangguo Temple is the most prosperous place. Once it is fully opened, the commercial value of this street can be imagined!
If the General Police Department wants to conceal it, others probably won't believe it.
But the General Police Department was so candid that the people immediately believed it.
Besides, they demolished so much in one morning, can we escape?
So the question is, including the street connecting Yujie to Xiangguo Temple, this is definitely not enough. Where will it be placed in the future?
The newspaper didn't mention it, maybe it was just under the corner of the city.
Sooner or later it will be demolished, so why not go early and try to get a good seat.
The day after the news was released, every police station was overcrowded.
"Let me go! Let me go! The patrolman is beating someone! The patrolman is beating someone!"
After hearing some shouting, I saw two patrolmen dragging a man out with one arm under his arm.
What is this for?
People waiting in line looked flustered.
"stop!"
After hearing the shouting, Fan Chunren walked over and asked, "What are you doing?"
He was always staring.
The reason he was willing to go to the Legal Aid Department was to keep an eye on the main police station.
The man seemed to recognize Fan Chunren and shouted quickly: "Mr. Fan, you must avenge me!"
He was caught. Fan Chunren said excitedly: "What grievance do you have?"
The man said: "My house has invaded the street, but they have not demolished my house. They are bending the law for personal gain. Sue them, and I will sue them."
Three black lines appeared on Fan Chunren's forehead. He cupped his hands to the two patrolmen and said, "Sorry! Sorry! This is just a misunderstanding."
The two patrolmen continued to drag the man outside.
At this time, a patrolman suddenly walked out, opened his mouth and cursed: "What are you doing? Are you doing nothing? The newspaper clearly stated that only those who obstruct traffic, occupy ditches, and have fire
Only if there is a hidden danger of trespassing on the street can you come here to apply for demolition.
What are you people from Maxing Street and Bianhe Street doing here? Are you joining in the fun? If you are intruding on the street, go to Si Lusi to pay taxes. Don't stay here. You think we don't do enough work. It's unreasonable. Yeah.
Mr. Fan, oh, that’s great.”
The person who spoke was Zhang Fei. When he saw Fan Chunren, he immediately walked over and said, "Mr. Fan, if you have time, can you take these boring people over there to pay taxes? Everyone comes to ask for help, trying to fish in troubled waters."
, how can we have so many stalls for them to replace."
When the people waiting in line next to me heard this, they thought, Ouch! What this means is that as long as the application is successful, you can change the stall. If the application fails, there is no need to dismantle it. You only need to pay taxes. Yes, you still have to pay taxes.
The queue immediately became tighter, for fear of being jumped in line.
Fan Chunren was so angry that he cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, you are really good at this."
The man who was thrown out just now was very angry and walked towards the alley next to him, cursing.
I saw a middle-aged man wearing a Confucian shirt standing in the alley.
It is Nancy Feng.
“Performing well.”
Feng Nanxi took out a bunch of copper coins from the baggage beside her and handed it to the man.
The man smiled and said: "Brother Feng, if something good like this happens in the future, you can come to me again."
Nancy Feng nodded and said: "There will definitely be a chance. If you can shut your mouth obediently, I will come back to you next time."
"Brother Feng, don't worry, I have a very strict mouth."
"move."
"yes."
However, Nancy Feng never expected that this scene would be secretly watched by two old men.
These two old men were Sima Guang and Wen Yanbo.
But neither of them thought that Feng Nanxi was not actually serving Zhang Fei, but was using this matter to develop an informant for the Taxation Department.
"This brat has so many crooked ways!"
Sima Guang couldn't help but curse.
Wen Yanbo stroked his beard and said: "Compared to the difficulty of this task, these little measures are considered harmless. No one was injured. It is really a miracle!"
Sima Guang stroked his beard and said with a smile: "Now that the water in this pond has been drained, those big fish have no place to escape!"
"This trick is really wonderful! If we were to do it, we would definitely kill the chickens to scare the monkeys and start with the powerful people first. But he did the opposite and started with the common people first, but it achieved miraculous results. If I were Wang Jiefu, I would definitely do it
It cost a lot to bring this person under his command." Wen Yanbo gave Zhang Fei high praise.
Sima Guang said with a smile: "If Zhang San wanted to work hard for Wang Jiefu, he would have agreed long ago and would not wait until now. That guy is very shrewd. Not to mention the pros and cons of the New Deal, Wang Jiefu's reforms affected the whole country, not Bianliang.
There is only one third of an acre of land. No matter how capable Zhang San is, he only has one pair of eyes and cannot take care of it at all."
Police station!
People are still queuing outside, and Zhang Fei has already taken the next step.
His plan can be summed up in one word - quick!
We cannot give those powerful people time to react.
"Okay! Now that all their swords, bows and armor have been confiscated by us, now is the time to take revenge and complain."
"It's a pity that Han Pan went to Daming Mansion, otherwise I would definitely want the Han family."
Cao Dongdong sighed regretfully, "Forget it, I'll go to Gu's house."
Zhang Fei said angrily: "You have so many enemies, just pick one at random. I will go to the Gu family in person."
Cao Dongdong said: "I have to go with you."
Ma Xiaoyi said hurriedly: "You have a chance to meet me. I was there at the time and I want to go too."
"Okay! Then the three of us will go together. But!"
Zhang Fei suddenly took out two pieces of paper and said, "But before taking revenge, you two still have a task to complete."
"What mission?"
"Go and collect the trespass taxes from these two families."
With that said, Zhang Fei handed the two pieces of paper in his hands to them respectively.
The two took it and took a look.
"Eh? This place looks familiar to me!" Ma Xiaoyi looked at it and suddenly exclaimed: "Isn't this my home?"
Cao Dongdong also said: "This is my home!"
As he spoke, his eyes flashed fiercely, "Zhang San, do you want me to collect taxes from my family?"
Ma Xiaoyi also said: "Third brother, you are too unkind to do this."
Zhang Fei comforted: "Yamen, Xiaoma, with just a little bit of street tax, you can get the positions of deputy chief superintendent and police chief. It's a lot of money! The key is, this money is also used to subsidize our chief police station."
.Gu Shaoqing and the others are the ones who lost their wives and lost their troops."
Deputy Chief Superintendent.
Cao Dongdong groaned immediately.
When Ma Xiaoyi heard about the police chief, his eyes flashed sharply, but he said anxiously: "But I will be beaten to death by my father."
"This is easier."
Zhang Fei directly took the paper back from their hands, crossed his hands, and handed it back to them, "Isn't this enough?"
Ma Xiaoyi's eyes lit up, "Brother, this is a good idea. I will tax your family, and you will tax mine, and neither of us will be beaten."
Cao Dongdong suddenly looked at Zhang Fei, "Zhang San, who will conquer your family?"
When Zhang Fei heard this, he couldn't help but look sad and sighed, "Don't say it, I would like to be conscripted, but I don't have a house."
A 6,000-word chapter to complete yesterday afternoon’s update.
