"You dare to interfere with our beggar gang's affairs, you are really looking for death!"
The leader, a man dressed like a beggar, held a stick in his hand and looked at Liu Jin menacingly.
"I will teach you a lesson today, let you know that the sky is high and the earth is high."
After saying that, he waved to a few people, and immediately several beggars rushed towards Liu Jin with sticks. When the people around him saw it, they were frightened and hurried away, fearing that they would be implicated.
"Hmph~"
"Catch them all."
Seeing these beggars rushing over, Liu Jin suddenly became furious.
These people have both hands and feet. If they don't work hard, they just become beggars. Some of them pretend to be miserable, and some simply continue to be beggars and do some evil things.
Among them, the thing that Liu Jin hated the most was harvesting and cutting, which was to abduct some children, break their hands and feet, blind their eyes and deafen their ears, and then use it to beg and deceive people's sympathy.
A few years ago, when we were cracking down on gangsters and evil, we carried out targeted and severe crackdowns. Many similar things happened in various parts of the Ming Dynasty.
In addition, their business scope is very wide, and theft is also one of their main businesses. They specialize in training some children to steal things, or to commit crimes in gangs.
The buying and selling of people is also an important business for them. Children and women are their main targets. Many times, they travel around as beggars and abduct those they find suitable on the spot.
The train station has a large flow of people, which is the ideal place for these beggars to commit crimes. Here, almost at a distance, you can see some beggars pretending to be miserable and begging with a broken bowl, or some that look particularly miserable.
The child is begging.
There are also people who specialize in stealing money and commit crimes in gangs here.
Sometimes, one person steals, and several people around him help cover or transfer the stolen silver. This is almost exactly the same as the European gypsy thieves.
If they encounter resistance or act bravely, they will often take out a knife and fight back fiercely. Even if it is stolen, people will not dare to chase it, and they will not dare to stop the thief when they see it.
These members of the beggar gang are definitely not the so-called chivalrous and righteous people like the beggar gang in Jin Yong's novels. They are a group of people who are really lazy and do all kinds of bad things.
Hearing Liu Jin's words, the guards around him knew what to do. Looking at the beggars rushing over, they all fell to the ground in two or two, unable to even run away.
"Hmph~"
"The Beggar Clan, it seems that this crackdown on gangsters and evil cannot be stopped. It must be carried out strictly."
Looking at the beggars who were pressed to the ground, Liu Jin didn't have the slightest sympathy. He ordered someone to find the stolen money bag and return it to the woman. Looking around again, it seemed that there were still some beggars gathering here.
.
But at this time, a group of government officials got the news and hurried over. When the beggars around them saw it, they immediately ran away.
"Master, what happened?"
The leading yamen officer looked at the scene and then at Liu Jin. Seeing that Liu Jin was very impressive and had guards around him, he might be a descendant of a prominent family in the capital, he asked quickly.
"I am Liu Jin, Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, and I will ask your Yin Linpan of Shuntian Prefecture to come and see me immediately."
Liu Jin took out a sign from his arms and said with a cold face.
When the yamen officer heard this and looked at the sign in Liu Jin's hand, he suddenly trembled with fright.
Oh my god, what happened today to make this boss so angry?
Who is Liu Jin?
He was a celebrity around Emperor Hongzhi, a partner of His Highness the Crown Prince, a minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs of the Ming Dynasty, and a famous God of Wealth in the Ming Dynasty. In every aspect, he was a real boss.
Look at his current face, which is very ugly. Look at these beggars again.
He couldn't help but curse in his heart.
It must be that these beggars without eyes wanted to steal Liu Jin's money, but Liu Jin found out about it, and then they tried to attack the current Minister of Personnel.
This matter is really big.
Once Liu Shangshu is angered, Lord Fu Yin Lin will suffer a lot. As for himself, a small government official, he will probably not have a good life either.
Bitter!
"It's time to give these beggars a serious fix."
The yamen servant had a grimace on his face and quickly ordered someone to find Mr. Fu Yin.
He inquired in detail from the side, and soon he figured out the situation here.
Just as I expected, these beggars really don't have eyes.
Ignoring these corvees, Liu Jin continued to stroll around the train station.
Liu Jin felt that the entire train station was very chaotic, and the entry and exit of the station was not very orderly. Moreover, there was a mixed bag of people here, with many people from different religions and professions.
There were buskers occupying a piece of land and performing various juggling performances, making the already crowded train station even more crowded.
There are stalls selling all kinds of things, from peanuts and melon seeds to wontons, noodles, dumplings, steamed buns and so on. The business is very good. They set up stalls randomly and take up a lot of space. The key is that the train station is very dirty and messy.
.
Garbage can be seen everywhere, some are piled up, and the entire corner is full of garbage, and the stench is oncoming. In addition, the public toilets here at the train station are obviously not enough. Many people come to the train station for the first time and do not understand anything.
Unable to find a bathroom, he urinates everywhere.
In addition, you can actually see a lot of bald monks asking for alms here at the train station. They don't want food, they just want money and a few good words, and then they will tell you that they want to raise money to build a temple, and I hope you can donate a little.
Liu Jin looked at these fat and muscular monks, with red faces and fat heads and big ears. They looked nothing like monks.
The situation inside the train station is relatively better. There are no more performers of all kinds, but there are still many people carrying cargo loads and pushing small carts selling food. Some beggars even come inside.
Go begging.
There are also many people who jump in line when selling train tickets. They take advantage of their physical strength to jump in line fiercely to buy tickets. When the train enters the station, there is a swarm of people waiting for the train, for fear that they will not be able to get on the train. Some people also carry
There were so many things and they were so big that they blocked the entrance to the station and the ticket gate.
Liu Jin felt that the entire train station was chaotic, lacking order, and lacking enough manpower to maintain order. In addition, there were too many, too many people who didn't know how to ride the train at all, so there were many things that made people laugh and cry.
things.
"It needs to be taken care of."
Liu Jin frowned.
"Lord Shangshu~"
After waiting for almost an hour, Shuntian Prefecture Yin Linpan finally arrived. He cautiously came to Liu Jin's side and saluted Liu Jin. On the way here, he had already roughly understood some situations.
"Is Mr. Lin also on annual leave?"
Liu Jin didn't even bother to look at Lin Pan and asked calmly.
"My lord, I'm going to be the official, I'm going to be the official..."
Lin Pan didn't know how to answer.
The emperor and I have already taken annual leave, and all the princes in the court have also taken annual leave. He is also preparing to return to his hometown to celebrate the New Year or something.
This is a legal holiday, so it is normal to take a vacation.
But in front of Liu Jin, he didn't know what to say.
"Mr. Lin, take a good look at this train station. What do you see?"
Liu Jin asked, pointing to the noisy train station in front of him.
"Sir, this low-ranking official is stupid, please show me clearly."
Lin Pan looked at it, but didn't see anything coming out. These messy phenomena are very normal in this era. As long as there are many people, it is basically the same.
"Mr. Lin, I think you'd better not take this annual leave."
"This train station is a mess. We need to send people to clean it up. People from all walks of life are mixed here. Now is the peak season for returning home. A large number of people want to return to their hometowns."
"After the New Year, they will return to the capital. If the relevant work is not done well, big trouble will happen by then."
"I just saw a lot of thieves here. The money these people had worked hard to save for a year was stolen by these thieves in one fell swoop."
"These thieves not only steal money, some even rob openly and commit crimes in groups. The people from the Beggar Clan are even more arrogant. Some people act bravely and even directly hurt people with knives."
Liu Jin pointed at the beggar at the train station and said.
"Yes, I will definitely carry out strict rectification~"
"We will no longer take annual leave. We must ensure the safety of all those returning home and work and ensure normal order."
"I will crack down hard on the Beggar Gang later."
When Lin Pan heard this, he nodded quickly and made a promise to Liu Jin.
"Hmm~"
Liu Jin nodded slightly.
To be honest, I don't have a good impression of this Lin Pan. He is a typical traditional bureaucrat, and his style is also typical of an official.
In the past, there wouldn't have been any major problems. Just review cases and maintain local security, and live a comfortable life.
But it's completely different now. The capital has a huge population and there are a lot of things going on.
The responsibilities of Shuntian Prefecture should slowly change from those of later generations of government agencies, and gradually focus on service, serving the needs of all aspects of society, maintaining social security, normal social order, the public livelihood of the city, etc.
.
These things are gradually coming to the fore. Just like this train station, it is the lack of effective management that leads to such chaos.
"Urban management and public services also need to be put on the agenda."
"This Lin Pan is not suitable to stay in this position at all. He must be replaced and replaced by a young and promising person."
In his mind, Liu Jin was thinking about replacing Lin Pan. What he did was too bad.
