Within two days, Zhao Xu received a report from Shi Deyi - he had intercepted the letter from the monk who wished to become a monk.
"I won't read the letter." Zhao Xu said: "You know all you need to do is tell me, did I wish to become a monk to make any arbitrary comments on national affairs in the letter?"
Shi Deyi lowered his head and replied: "I want to inform you all that the soul of the man who wished to become a monk has been taken away by evil spirits!"
"Amitabha!" Zhao Xu clasped his hands together and sighed with compassion: "Unfortunately, such a disaster has happened to Samana!"
"Bo Xun is wearing the Buddha's cassock and sitting majestically in the pure place of Buddhism!"
"Good! Good!"
Shi De raised his head and carefully confirmed what his young master meant: "What do you mean?"
Zhao Xu looked at him deeply: "You know it, so don't worry about it anymore."
The Detective Department is a secret service agency.
A secret service cannot have its own will, let alone the power to engage in violence.
otherwise……
Sooner or later, this spy agency will come back to bite its master and even begin to influence politics!
Therefore, Zhao Xu knew clearly.
The Detective Department must not be allowed to have any power other than intelligence collection and analysis.
In particular, it cannot be allowed to obtain powers beyond the judiciary.
If someone commits a crime, the government will deal with it.
If you, a secret service agency, get on top of the government, you have the power to legally lynch or even kill.
Then this secret service will definitely become a cancer in the future.
When Shi De heard this, he bowed his head deeply: "I understand."
"Go down!" Zhao Xu waved his hand.
Watching Shi Deyi's figure leave, Zhao Xu thought for a while, picked up a pen and began to write an order on a piece of Yuan Shu paper.
After finishing writing, he picked up the "Kaifeng Treasure" placed on the case and stamped it.
Then, he called Feng Jing to him, handed the order to Feng Jing, and said: "Send it to the Secretary of the Kaifeng Prefecture and let Yang Wenyuan handle it according to the order!"
Last year, Yang Wenyuan served as the Secretary of the Kaifeng Prefecture and promoted the inspection of the school treasury.
Before Zhao Xuchu came to Kaifeng Mansion to supervise the government, this civil servant ate and slept in Kaifeng Mansion day and night, drank chicken blood every day, screamed and led people, and was responsible for the "Bianjing Orphans Livelihood Protection Project".
Therefore, in the winter when Zhao Xu first came to Kaifeng Mansion, all the orphans entrusted by the Bianjing government achieved the miracle of no one freezing to death, no one dying of starvation, and even the sick could be cured!
This made Zhao Xu have a strong impression on the people of Bianjing.
After all, to most people, the emperor lived in a deep palace and had nothing to do with most civilians.
However, after Zhao Xu's reform and opening up, thousands of orphans in entrustment were able to have food and clothing and were cared for.
Later, the Kaifeng Prefecture selected more than a hundred smart and intelligent children from these orphans and sent them to government schools such as arithmetic and law to become bookboys.
Although they are book boys in name, in fact, they are given the opportunity to work and study part-time.
Even though arithmetic and law were not taken seriously in the Song Dynasty.
But knowledge is wealth!
In arithmetic and law, as long as you study seriously, the orphans who have learned it will have a foundation for success when they grow up.
And Yang Wenyuan was promoted as a result - he was directly promoted to the Chief Officer of the Chief Officer Division to join the army.
He himself was promoted to a court official from a post in the capital - since the eighth rank Xuan Yilang became the eighth rank Feng Zhilang.
It looks like it has only been upgraded to one level.
In fact, it is an earth-shaking super migration!
This is like a modern deputy department becoming a deputy bureau.
He is also the deputy bureau of the real power department of the imperial capital!
In addition, because he was an official who was removed from office by Zhao Xu himself, according to the usual practice, his future promotion and appointment will be the responsibility of the capital rather than the official department.
This is even more soaring!
Therefore, Yang Wenyuan is one of the civil servants in Kaifeng Prefecture who most obeys Zhao Xu's orders. He, Jia Zhongmin, who is in charge of the street department, and Zhang Wei, who is in charge of the shop and home affairs, are nicknamed "eagle dog" in the official office of Kaifeng Prefecture.
Jia Zhongmin, who is Zhang Yi?
One is the urban management ancestor who took to the streets with a stick to enforce the law, and is now Zhao Xu's number one loyal dog who is in charge of the Bianjing Academy project.
The other one is the son of Jingyuan Road Economic and Strategy Envoy Zhang Kai, the Minister of Household Affairs Zhang Heng, and the nephew of Guangxi Economic and Strategy Envoy Zhang Dun.
At the same time, the shop and housekeeping he was responsible for was the source of money for the concubines in the palace.
In addition, Zhang Kai and Jia Zhongmin are also responsible for various matters of the newly established "Property Bureau" - now, the business scope of the Property Bureau is still limited to store and housekeeping.
That is to say, they are responsible for providing security, sanitation, property maintenance and other services for the properties owned by the royal family in Bianjing.
They are still leveling up in the Novice Village, developing, using royal resources, accumulating experience, and cultivating the team.
This Yang Wenyuan can be called together with these two people.
Naturally, it was because he had a high appearance rate in front of Zhao Xu - almost every time Zhao Xu went to Kaifeng Mansion to inspect the government, he would summon him to ask about the situation or give instructions on the work he was responsible for.
Yang Wenyuan did not disappoint Zhao Xu.
At least for now, this civil servant still wants to make progress.
…
The official office of the Kaifeng Prefecture's Directorate of Records is not in the government office.
Instead, it was in the former residence of Prince Zhaocheng next to Kaifeng Mansion—Prince Zhaocheng, the second son of Taizong, had high hopes from Taizong, and he served as the governor of Kaifeng Mansion for five years after he came of age.
However, he died violently in the end, and the official cause of death was 'illness caused by accidentally eating the food of his beloved concubine Zhang'.
However, various folk legends are still being discussed.
After Zhenmiao came to the throne, he cherished his brother and gave it to Prince Zhaocheng posthumously. However, he changed his old residence into the official residence of Si Lusi. This is very confusing - Si Lusi is one of the three prisons in Kaifeng, and it is the third prison in Kaifeng.
The highest level in the prison, it mainly detains criminals from the Third Division and various divisions.
In addition, the Treasurer of the Inspection and Records Department hanging under the Department of Records is mainly responsible for entrusting and keeping the inheritance of orphans whose parents have died in Bianjing and Kaifeng, and returning them to these orphans when they become adults.
This is even more confusing.
However, times have changed and there are very few people who still know these old things.
No one is going to investigate the inside story anymore.
Only those old people in Bianjing might mention a few legends about the Prince's Prison when telling stories to their children.
However, these legends are completely indifferent to Yang Wenyuan.
At this moment, he was in the study in the backyard of the government office, looking at the emperor's surrender command in his hand, and his emotions were rolling in his heart.
"I heard that there is a temple in Tianshui Lane, Bianjing, called the Bathhouse Temple. There are many filth and evil in it, and there are even demonic monks who are willing to succeed and mislead the public with their evil words. We should use the Dharma to investigate them."
The paper is covered with the "Treasure of Kaifeng" made by the Ministry of Internal Affairs after the current official came to Kaifeng.
Under the seal, there is a large regular script: C.
C is fire!
It means burn it!
Yang Wenyuan naturally has this common sense.
So he knew that the implicit meaning of the official order was - you do it, and if something happens after you do it, I won't recognize it!
Yang Wenyuan picked up the imperial edict, threw it into the brazier beside him, and watched it being burned to ashes.
Then, Yang Wenyuan stood up, thought for a while, and ordered someone to call the famous Bianjing benefactor in the Si Lu Division, an official named 'Li Shu', and asked him: "I have heard from this official
, there is Tianshui Lane in Bianjing, which is famous all over the world, do you know its details?"
When Li Shu heard this, he was very shocked!
Fu Si (short for Si Lu joining the army) was a close minister of the emperor with a bright future.
How can I associate with those old bustards in Sweetwater Lane?
Even if you want to have fun, you should go to a high-end place like Sangjia Wazi.
What are the hook bars in Tianshui Lane?
Half-aged MILF!
Could it be that... this is what Fu Si likes?
No wonder, after taking office, the Fu Secretary has been working in the government office and rarely goes home.
I originally thought that Fu Si was not close to women, but I didn’t expect that he actually liked this tone?
understood!
So, Li Shu happily bowed to Yang Wenyuan and began to introduce: "Fusi, the Goulan in Tianshui Lane, Bianjing, is not as exciting as the Goulan in Sangjia Wazi, Pan Tower, Fan Tower and other places, but it is also a scenic spot in Bianjing.
!”
"There are four Tianshui Lanes...named Little Sweetwater Lane, First Sweetwater Lane, Second Sweetwater Lane, and Third Sweetwater Lane."
"This Little Sweet Water Alley is just north of the Daxiangguo Temple. The women in the numerous stalls in the southern food shops are mostly from southern prefectures and counties... I heard that famous prostitutes from Yangzhou once lived there..."
"The first sweet water lane is in front of the Ancestral Temple, past the South Guanyin Temple...among them..."
"The Second Sweet Water Lane is to the east of the temple bridge in front of the Daxiangguo Temple, where most of the restaurants are..."
"This Third Sweet Water Lane is from the east of Zhouqiao Bridge, to the north of Qianming Temple, and to the east of Daxiangguo Temple. There is Bathing Temple in it. There are eminent monks in the temple who are good at Buddhist teachings... I heard that many nobles from Bianjing have paid homage to him. I asked for advice...it is said to be quite effective!"
Yang Wenyuan listened and grasped the key. He looked at Li Shu and asked: "Really?"
"How dare you deceive the governor?" Li Shu immediately bowed and said.
"Good!" Yang Wenyuan became excited.
He is still worried about how to complete the task of surrendering command within the official family!
Now he knows!
Spreading evil laws corrupts moral principles and harms human ethics.
The monster monk in the bathroom temple has trampled on the criminal system of the Song Dynasty!
Since the Beizhou Wangze Rebellion, the Song Dynasty has strengthened the management of folk obscenities and religions.
but……
Yang Wenyuan smiled and looked at the Bianjing guest in front of him and asked: "Is that eminent monk really effective?"
"Needless to say!" Li Shu thought he was about to climb a high branch, and he was so excited that he almost danced: "The government secretary doesn't know something. I heard that there are often dozens of nobles from Bianjing in the Bathhouse Temple at night. Gather together and listen to the eminent monk’s sermons, and we will disperse at dawn!”
"Oh!" Yang Wenyuan narrowed his eyes.
very good!
The late emperor once issued an edict: Everyone should practice the magic of demons, gather at night and disperse at dawn... and behave according to the law.
The Bathhouse Temple has already met the two conditions in the late emperor's order.
"Is there any more?" Yang Wenyuan asked in a persuasive manner.
"Of course there is!" Li Shu's face turned red. He leaned in front of Yang Wenyuan and spoke vividly: "Legend has it that in the Bathhouse Temple, there are sometimes unobstructed gatherings..."
"Every noble man brings his own women..."
Yang Wenyuan licked his tongue and looked at Li Shu, did you mean it?
Li Shu nodded and almost swore: "Secretary of the Government, this is absolutely true!"
"Although I have never witnessed it or participated in it, I have heard people talk about its wonderful features..."
As Yang Wenyuan listened, the terms of the punishment system emerged in his mind: Those who teach demon religions and scriptures, if they encounter men and women living together, they will be dismissed according to the regulations!
Which one does it fit?
Of course, it is the article that "monks and seculars do not distinguish between men and women...it is entrusted with the promotion of laws and regulations, and one indulges in promiscuous habits. If it is not eliminated, it is really evil."
This is a crime for losing your head!
Especially after the Wang Ze Rebellion, the court was very tight on this!
Normally, if no one takes care of it, that's fine.
But once someone wants to take care of it.
The person who is caught will die!
So, Yang Wenyuan only had one last question left.
"That eminent monk is willing to fulfill his dharma title?"
Li Shu nodded and said with great joy: "It's the master who wishes to become a master!"
"This master is said to have given purple clothes to the late emperor, and he has relationships with many noble people."
"I heard that this master's purple clothes were obtained when he followed the current Prime Minister Zhang to open Meishan Mountain! Not only that, even the son of Prime Minister Wang at that time also worshiped under his Dharma!"
etc!
Yang Wenyuan's expression solidified.
"Mr. Zhang?"
"Wang Xianggong?" He looked at the other party and frowned.
Yang Wenyuan worked in the local government for a full ten years before he finally collected five petitions, successfully completed the imperial examination, and became a Beijing official. Then he worked in the local government for two terms as a general magistrate. Because of his outstanding political performance, he was
At the beginning of the eighth year of Yuanfeng, he was promoted to Beijing as an official.
He has no backing and no backers.
Otherwise, he would not have been placed in the Department of Records to be the so-called ‘Promotion, Prosecution, and Records Treasurer’.
In the past, this mission was almost a job of just waiting to die.
It is impossible to achieve any political achievements, and it is difficult to get ahead.
Therefore, Yang Wenyuan really didn't know the secrets and private affairs of these senior officials.
But, Yang Wenyuan knew it very well.
There are some untouchables in today's officialdom that cannot be touched.
Among them, the most well-known is the late emperor - the late emperor's affairs, unless His Majesty himself said, "Huang Kao and I have said so."
Otherwise, most people will die if they touch it.
Then, there was a legend among the small circles in Kaifeng Prefecture that one in Jiangning and one in Hedong were both untouchable.
If you touch it, the little official will be furious!
Legend has it that it seems to be because the late emperor once entrusted him to preserve it and treat it well.
Therefore, these two ministers are almost invisible in the court now.
The one in Jiangning is fine, so just don’t mention it.
The one in Hedong is awesome!
The other party seemed to know that there was such a thing, so he kicked his nose and touched his face, which made the officials in the hall often feel sick and uncomfortable, but they had to pinch their noses to cooperate with the other party's performance.
As a minister who often appears in front of officials and reports.
Yang Wenyuan, Jia Zhongmin, and Zhang Wei are relatively close, and now they can be regarded as exchanging name cards, which is a friendship that can be called brothers.
Therefore, Yang Wenyuan knew that these two officials, who were far more favored than him and even had the power to directly report to the emperor, had an inexplicable relationship with the ruler who had gone south.
In addition, according to his observation, every time a report comes to Beijing from Guangxi, Yousi will immediately bring it to the officials as soon as possible.
If there wasn't something fishy in this, it would be a ghost!
Therefore, Yang Wenyuan inevitably hesitated.
That demonic monk was the one the officials wanted to punish by name!
But he happened to have a close relationship with the "Ni Lin" of the official family and a man who valued governance very much.
This matter is difficult to handle!
Yang Wenyuan pondered, but he knew that this matter must be done, and it must be done beautifully, carefully, and properly.
Thinking of this, Yang Wenyuan waved his hand and sent Li Shu away.
"Catch this monster monk first!"
Definitely.
The officials have already made a decree, so as a minister, he must do it well.
As for the crime?
Yang Wenyuan remembered the words of the official decree.
He suddenly woke up.
"Why am I so stupid!"
"The officials have already made it so clear - they are deceiving the public with their lies!"
"I went there and foolishly tried to accuse him of it!"
This is a taboo!
But he was so stupid that he wanted to disobey the will as if he was possessed by a ghost.
According to the law, the upper limit for misleading people with lies is hanging, and the lower limit is even a fine.
At the same time, this crime is also very suitable for this situation.
the most important is……
Yang Wenyuan already knew how to get this done.
Simple, follow the story.
What story? Of course it’s the story of the officialdom of the Song Dynasty!
As long as the prisoner is in jail, as long as the officials want him to die, he will have to die! As for the cause of death?
