At this time, the large courtyard of the Yingtian government office was already full, and many people had to be put outside the government office. Countless people were still trying to say something, begging these strangely dressed people to let them go.
When Huang Huai walked out of the lobby, those subordinate officials who turned out to be Yingtian Mansion recognized him and immediately said: "Master Fu Yin, why did you arrest us! What mistake did we make!"
Hearing these people talking, other people who did not recognize Huang Huai also shouted loudly: "Master Fu Yin, I am a good citizen. I neither steal nor rob. What are you doing to arrest the common people!"
Huang Huai wanted to say something, but the noise around him was so loud that he couldn't even hear what he said.
Upon seeing this, Li Guan signaled that he would bring the "police" which was adapted from the retained yamen servants. These people understood and immediately showed the sticks in their hands and started beating. The other "police" also immediately followed suit, finally calming them down.
.
Although Huang Huai was a little dissatisfied with the "police" taking action, he thought that these people would not be able to calm down if they didn't take action, so he didn't say anything.
He coughed softly and said loudly: "You guys are either junior staff in the yamen who have been in the government for many years, or you are the big guys in the capital. You are all people who bully the people on a daily basis. How can you be a good citizen? This time I am serious
It’s to eliminate harm for the people!”
These people wanted to talk again, but Huang Huai had no one to talk to them anymore, so he said to a 'policeman' who had just been transferred from Jinyiwei: "After being sentenced one by one, let them talk."
The 'policeman' said: "Yes, sir." and then directed other policemen to escort them to the backyard.
Most of these 'policemen' are disabled soldiers whom Yunxi asked the commander of the Twelve Guards to count a few days ago, and there are also some disabled low-level generals.
The reason why Yunxi asked them to be the "police" was, firstly, because they were all military households and had no connection with the subordinate officials in the city before and would not be merciful; secondly, because they were completely isolated from the subordinate officials system in the past and did not have this era.
Third, what Yunxi wants to do this time is not just to clean up a few beggars, or to clean up a group of cannibalistic subordinates. This is just the beginning. He wants to do a lot, and he needs a lot of time.
It is a group of people who know the rules and abide by the disciplines. In this era, soldiers are the ones who know the rules and abide by the disciplines best. In other words, soldiers are the only ones who know how to abide by the disciplines.
Huang Huai has been busy since the fourth watch today. He is a little tired and said to the judge: "If there are still policemen escorting criminals over, there is no need to inform me. They will be sent directly to the backyard to wait for punishment."
"If there are other matters, unless it is His Majesty's will, we will ignore them and do not disturb me."
Tongju promised.
Huang Huai knew that many people would be dissatisfied if he arrested people in the capital on such a large scale and "caught the whole city". Among them, he didn't have to think about the ones that got the most out of it. His Majesty would handle it himself; but there would definitely be many officials.
Come and talk to him face to face. He doesn't want to deal with this group of people, so he gave the order to the judge.
After he finished his instructions, he turned around and prepared to go back to the backyard to rest for a while. After getting the confessions of some of the executed people in the afternoon, he had to go to the palace to face the saint, so he needed to maintain sufficient energy.
But as soon as he lifted his feet and before he took a step, he heard a voice coming from behind: "Huang Fuyin!"
Huang Huai had no choice but to look back. He saw a small sedan for two people parked outside Yingtian Mansion Office, and an official wearing the uniform of a sixth-grade civil servant stepped out of the sedan.
As soon as Huang Huai saw it, he recognized that this was Cheng An, the commander of the Zhongcheng Army and Horse Department. Although he did not attack the officials of the Five City Army and Horse Department this time, he also arrested many of the subordinate staff. Of course he wanted to Let’s get an explanation.
It was inconvenient for Huang Huai to push such a matter to others, and besides, no one else in the entire Yingtian Mansion knew the details except him, so he could only entertain it himself.
The two entered the second hall and sat down separately. Cheng An took a sip of tea and immediately said: "Huang Fuyin, today I am still resting in the back hall of the Yamen. I was told that many of the subordinate officials of the Zhongcheng Military and Horse Department were arrested. They were captured and taken away. The clothes of these people were unheard of, but they all ended up in Yingtianfu Yamen. Are these people who serve strange people from Yingtianfu?"
"He is from Yingtian Mansion." Huang Huai said.
"Then I can only ask Huang Fuyin, why did your government arrest the subordinate official of the Army and Horse Department in Zhongcheng?" Cheng'an asked.
Seeing that he was speaking politely, Huang Huai said: "To be honest, your Majesty's decree is to investigate and deal with the big bones, Tuantou, and subordinate officials who bully the people in the capital. Your Majesty's decree is very severe, and I have to do it." "
"Huang Fuyin, why didn't you inform me of the Central City Military and Horse Division beforehand?" Cheng An asked in a gentle tone.
"Your Majesty has strictly ordered that in order to prevent the news from leaking, only a few people knew about it beforehand, so I did not dare to tell the various military departments." Huang Huai explained.
Since it was His Majesty's will, Cheng An did not dare to say anything. After all, he just arrested a group of subordinate officials, and they were all corrupt and perverted the law. He could not defend these people.
However, "Huang Fuyin, although not many people from our Zhongcheng Soldiers and Horses Department have been arrested, they are all some squad leaders. Now it will be a bit difficult for our company to maintain law and order in the capital city," he said. .
Of course Yunxi had thought of this matter. "Commander Cheng, His Majesty has already thought of this matter and has specially ordered the police from Yingtian Mansion to patrol the streets and maintain law and order in the capital." Huang Huai said.
Cheng An was shocked. He didn't know what the emperor meant. Was he just letting these people now called 'police' maintain law and order for a while, or would it always be like this in the future? If it had always been like this, then... Don't you want to abolish the Five Cities Military and Horse Division?
Cheng'an suddenly didn't care about the fate of these subordinates at all. How could they be as important as their own official positions? He kept inquiring about the fate of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division.
But although Huang Huai knew what Yun He wanted to do next, how could he possibly tell him now? He was just saying haha.
After a while, the commanders of the other four cities' military and horse divisions also arrived. In fact, their departure time was no later than that of Cheng An, but their yamen were further away from Yingtianfu yamen, so they arrived later.
Huang Huai repeated what he had said to Cheng An. The four commanders suddenly no longer cared about the fate of their subordinates and asked about the fate of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division. Huang Huai laughed as usual.
At this time, Huang Huai's advantage of having a higher official position than them became apparent. As the Yin of Yingtian Palace, Huang Huai was of the third rank, and he was one of the few high-ranking officials in the entire Ming Dynasty; while the military commander of the Wucheng Military and Horse Division was only of the sixth rank. , he is not a low-ranking official in the local area, but he is just a minor official in the capital.
So Huang Huai was fighting with them, and they didn't dare to press him. They could only retreat and look for inquiries from their own connections after the inquiry was fruitless.
Huang Huai finally sent them away and said to Fu Cheng: "If anyone comes looking for me again, I will block them." Then he went back to the back hall to rest.
