In fact, those children who are sold into wealthy families are nothing to those wealthy families.
Perhaps for the sake of face, they ignored Tianfu.
But if the emperor had spoken, they would certainly not object.
So will Emperor Zhu Qizhen say anything?
That is definitely a must!
As an emperor, his words and deeds must be recorded by historians. Of course, he will not lose the face of officials for the sake of a few children.
Sure enough, things went very smoothly, and Zhu Qizhen readily agreed to his request.
Then he summoned the British Duke into the palace and discussed the matter with him.
Therefore, the wealthy families in the capital "quickly" returned the children they bought from Ren Yazi to Shuntian Mansion.
The supervisory censor Zhang Ru became the laughing stock of the capital.
As these groups of people were sentenced to death by "standing in the cage", the children also returned to their homes. Feng Zhou distributed bonuses and rewards to the yamen servants, and he completely established a foothold in the yamen and gained
won the hearts of all.
So Feng Zhou immediately struck while the iron was hot and launched the next step of 'strike hard'.
This time, the target is the large and small underground blockades in Kyoto City.
You must know that in this era, brothels and gambling houses are legal operations, not to mention that there are big figures behind them, and they cannot be eliminated at all.
Therefore, Feng Zhou targeted the underground gambling houses first.
Adhering to the principle of putting the easy things first and then the hard ones, and using the clues provided by the beggars and the confessions of the captured criminals, Feng Zhou worked tirelessly to personally lead the team and directly seal down all three underground gambling houses in Dongcheng.
Because of the success of the "anti-trafficking" incident, the morale of the entire Shuntian Mansion was greatly boosted, and no one was holding back any of them. Seeing the seizures in the Yamen lobby, Feng Zhou couldn't help but smile with satisfaction.
But when he saw the harvest compiled by his men and the pile of dozens of boxes of loan sharking notes, he couldn't laugh anymore.
A black gambling house is a black gambling house. It is really a black gambling house.
From three small black gambling houses, a total of 8,000 taels of silver and nearly 20,000 silver notes were found. As for the copper plates, they were packed in more than a dozen baskets before they were all moved.
These are not the most important things. The most important thing is those boxes of loan sharking notes. Looking at the blood-red fingerprints, his mood suddenly became very heavy.
From the confessions of the captured gangsters and thugs, and through severe torture, they were directly forced to obtain evidence of their crimes of killing dozens of people.
Not only that, they also forced them to destroy their families, sell their wives and daughters into brothels, send their boys to men's houses or mining factories in other places, and seize their homes and fields.
Feng Zhou did not return home that day, but sat in the Yamen and stayed up all night to fight. With a team of clerks, he cleared out all the boxes of loan sharking notes, involving nearly 20,000 taels of gold. The interest alone was enough to reach the same figure.
, it’s simply the ultimate in blood-sucking and madness.
At the same time, it was confirmed by the old government officials in the government office that the number of people and families involved in these loan sharking loans reached an astonishing hundreds. These are just the common people and small businessmen in the Dongcheng area. There are also many IOUs involving hundreds of people in the suburbs.
A lot of portions.
Really shocking...
At the same time, there were several luxurious houses in the capital, and the lights in the owner's study or secret room were also not extinguished all night long.
The heads of these families, who usually seemed kind-hearted, now looked ferocious and full of murderous intent, and were urgently discussing with their close men how to deal with it.
"Du Tongxuan, why are your hands and feet so unconcealed that Feng Zhou beats you to the door!"
"This fellow Feng Zhou is clearly seeking death and dares to touch my place!"
"This kid is really brave! I really thought he could walk sideways in the capital!"
"If you don't give him a hint of color this time, this little guy will probably not know the heights of the world!"
"..."
Anyone who has the guts to open an underground gambling room in the capital is a ruthless person, otherwise he would not be able to deter the monsters and monsters in Kyoto.
Being rich and powerful is the best description of them, and at the same time, each of them has an extremely powerful backer. Who would have expected that they would encounter an unreasonable guy like Feng Zhou, who would suddenly forcefully lead the government officials and the troops of the Wucheng Army and Horses Division?
, catching them off guard.
By the time they realized it, the underground gambling room had been sealed off. The news from Shuntian Mansion made them furious. The losses this time were extremely heavy.
These guys are all very brave people. They suddenly suffered such a big loss. How could they give up? While contacting their superior backers, they also contacted the forces in the world that have been cooperating for a long time, preparing to teach Feng Zhou a profound lesson.
No need to contact each other, they have already made a bold decision.
Feng Zhou looked at his harvest overnight, his heart heavy.
Under the prosperous and peaceful age, all kinds of evil are hidden everywhere.
There are still only three underground gambling houses, and there are probably more than a dozen underground gambling houses of the same size or even larger in the capital of Ming Dynasty. Just thinking about it makes me feel extremely heavy in my heart.
According to his estimate, at least one-third of Kyoto's population should be involved, either from the underground gambling houses themselves or from the victims of the underground gambling houses.
Moreover, most of the victims of these underground gambling houses are ordinary people who have little ability to resist risks. It is not easy to struggle out of this quagmire, let alone try to take advantage of it.
However, the "regular" gambling houses, which are not many in number but larger in scale, target the wealthy and wealthy. They cooperate with the underground gambling houses and form a network of terror, covering most of the city of Kyoto.
The officials under his command had been working in the yamen all night and were already very tired. Feng Zhou asked them to rest, and took part of the captured proceeds as bonuses, and then walked out of the gate of Shuntian Mansion with the documents.
At this time, the sky was slightly bright, and the area around the Shuntian Mansion was extremely quiet and empty. This area was where the government offices of various ministries were densely packed, and few ordinary people visited it. Only soldiers from the Wucheng Military and Horse Division walked by from time to time, giving the silence
The streets bring a sense of solemnity.
Feng Zhou got on the carriage and headed directly towards the palace gate.
At this moment, a change occurred!
"Fengzhou Puppy Officer, please accept your fate!"
Suddenly a violent roar came from the empty street, and a vigorous figure jumped down from the high wall on one side. The steel knife in his hand shone with a sharp and cold light, and roared down with indomitable ferocity.
"Ah..." Feng Ping had never encountered such a thing before, he screamed and was stunned.
However, the two guards around Feng Zhou were alert, and immediately drew their swords to confront them, instantly fighting with the visitor...
But the matter was not over yet, there was another burst of sound in the air.
Dangdangdang...
Hidden weapons like raindrops hit the carriage, but they made a tinkling sound of gold and iron.
Is this carriage made of iron?
But looking at the horse pulling the cart, it doesn’t look like pulling an iron cart at all!
But at this moment, the assassins could no longer think too much. They could no longer care about anything else. Their faces were full of murderous intent...
