Liu Xiang sneered and said: "The peace of Guangzhou is guarded by my Senate. You, a city fox and a scum among the public, dare to guarantee peace for us? Go to the King of Hell and talk to the people you killed." Take it!”

Since ancient times, subordinate officials have been ruthless and ruthless people. After hearing Liu Xiang's words, Zhao Xian no longer hesitated and shouted: "Master Bi, I'm sorry!" After saying that, he put the chain in his pocket and locked it. Bi Wusi dragged him down the hall.

Bi Wusi struggled hard and saw that all his disciples and disciples were either silent or dumbfounded, and no one stood up for him. Then he looked at the Japanese warrior here wearing a red array of feathers, grinning, revealing a set of uneven teeth. , seemed to be smiling at him - I felt a chill coming from my back and spreading throughout my body. Seeing that he was being dragged closer and closer to the case, the stunned man shouted: "Drag him down and behead him!" No one in Guangzhou dared to plead for him! He suddenly realized how insignificant he was. Without Daming, he was nothing. In an instant, it was as if he had woken up from a dream, his whole body shaking like chaff, and he knelt down with a thud. His face was filled with cold sweat and tears, and he said in silence: "Please...please, sir, look at it, look at it, look at it..." He kept saying "For the sake of it", they found that they had no friendship with Mr. Liu at all, and he was a smart man, "...for the sake of the villain's service to Dongzhu Guo in the past, I was looking down on you... ...The villain is short-sighted and offends the power of an adult. He deserves death for his crime."

There was another commotion among the subordinate officials present. Bi Wusi was usually violent, insidious and vicious. He was a man with a heart of stone who sought money and killed people every day. Now he is chained, but he is kneeling on the ground, crying and crying, begging for his life. The contrast is too great!

Liu Xiang smiled and said, "Don't worry about me, Mr. Guo." He said sternly, "Take it!" After his cry and begging, several officers from the detective team lost their fear and immediately pounced on them like wolves and tigers. Biwu Si tied the rope tightly and stuffed a hemp core into his mouth. Press down under the eaves and wait for delivery

Lu Yizhong only saw the horror, knowing that Liu Xiang was "killing the monkey to scare the chicken", and thought that this was the only way to punish these "cunning officials". Now cheer up and read the names one by one.

"Zhu Hui Fei!", "Zhai Shini!", "Zhang Dejin!", "Gao Chenfeng!"... With Lu Yizhong's cadence of roll call, the detective team picked people by name, one by one from the queue. come out. He was tied up with ropes and his mouth was numb. There were many people kneeling under the eaves of the corridor.

The air in the yamen suddenly solidified. These more than a thousand yamen servants usually shouted and acted arrogantly. Who had ever seen such a formation? I saw them being pulled out of the queue one by one. They were tied up with ropes, and everyone was so frightened that their calf muscles twisted, and there was no color on their faces. Some people were so frightened that they fainted.

There were more than a hundred people on the list, and most of them were arrested. Those who didn't come were sent by the detective team to arrest them. People came here to report, some caught, some not. Liu Xiang didn't ask any questions, he just asked those who hadn't been caught to be put on a red notice.

Several detective team members came back here, but it was Wu Duoduo who led the team to capture Kuaiban Yamen Bu Dailu - a man who has done many evil things and colluded with the "Datian Er" outside the city to kidnap and commit countless crimes. Earn a lot of money. This time I knew that my crime was extremely heinous, so I didn’t dare to come to answer Mao.

Wu Duoduo came up and reported: "Sir, Bu Dailu is not at home. People at home say that he went out last night and did not come back. He is nowhere to be found."

Liu Xiang nodded and said, "I do know where he is going."

As soon as these words came out, Wu Duoduo and others trembled, and they saw two National Army soldiers pushing Bu Dailu out from behind, who was tied up tightly.

Wu Duoduo and others were shocked, and immediately collapsed on the ground, kowtowing like pounding garlic.

"Come on! Search!"

Liu Xiang gave the order, and several officers rushed over and pushed them to the ground. In a short time, several of Delong's silver notes, totaling five hundred taels, were found from Wu Duoduo and another government official Lu Rui.

Liu Xiang looked at it, nodded and sighed: "I've heard for a long time that the wealth of subordinate officials is appalling. Now I know what's going on - even money from the frying pan needs to be fished out." He kowtowed to Wu below, begging for mercy. Lu Erren said. "I thought that you guys don't do much evil on daily basis, and you are still a conscientious person. It seems that I don't know how to recognize people. Mr. Lu!"

Lu Yizhong knew that he wanted to kill someone to establish his authority, so he quickly stood up and said, "I'm here for my humble duty!"

"What crimes should Wu Duoduo and others commit according to the Anti-Rebellion Law?"

"Returning to the commander: accepting bribes and releasing wanted criminals privately. A capital crime!"

"Wu Duoduo and Lu Rui were bribed to let go. The two others who went with them did not know about it and are exempted from guilt."

"Where is the executioner?!" He suddenly shouted sharply, and the guards around him were shocked. They almost responded in unison like a conditioned reflex: "Pass to the executioner!"

The executioner of the government office came out in response. Naturally, they also have various "bad rules" in their daily lives, but the words "doing many evil things" do not fit in. It should be fine to think of yourself as a "technical person". So I wasn’t too alarmed. Now that I heard that Mr. Liu was going on a red mission, I quickly cheered up and prepared for the mission.

"Push Wu Duoduo and Lu Rui out and behead them, and execute justice on the spot!"

"Here!"

The executioner responded at the same time, lifted Wu and Lu from the ground, tied them with ropes in an instant, and pushed them out. Just now, these two people were newly promoted "detective team members" by the Senate, and in an instant they became The death row prisoners, Wu, Lu and others cried and begged repeatedly, "I have been blinded by money. I beg you to give me a chance to change my mind."

Liu Xiang remained unmoved: "I've already given you the chance." He said slowly in an atmosphere of extreme terror, "Execution!"

Only three cannons were heard outside. After a while, the executioner carried two heads on a tray to the foot of the steps, half-kneeling and said: "Sir, please test the punishment!"

Liu Xiang glanced at the bloody head. I just felt sick. He looked away, calmed his breath, and saw that the subordinates and government officials below were all frightened and their faces turned white. He said slowly: "Hang outside the door and give orders!"

Seeing the head being taken out, Liu Xiang breathed a sigh of relief and said slowly: "Since you have pledged allegiance to the Song Dynasty and the Senate, you must work hard to complete your errands and not have any selfish thoughts. Otherwise, Wu and Lu will be An example for you!"

The subordinates below were stunned and dazzled by this turn of events. They had already been frightened to the point where their three souls and seven souls were out of place, and their whole bodies felt no pain. At this time, a gentle question was like being blown away by a sudden gust of wind. The people in front of them trembled like autumn grass and fell to their knees, not knowing what they said. When the people behind saw the people in front kneeling down, they also knelt down together, and suddenly they were all kneeling on the ground in darkness.

Liu Xiang saw that this round of arrests and killings had already had an effect. It was announced that all those who had been captured would be put into prison pending interrogation - the Planning Institute would also make a fortune from them - as for the others, they would all be considered subordinates of the Australians from now on.

"Tomorrow, when the army enters the city, you should serve as your errands with all your heart. Let me see who is the most flattering." Liu Xiang said with a smile, "I will inevitably have to promote you in the future."

The next person called Bai Nuo: "Thank you, Sir!"

After midnight, Liu Xiang ordered notices to be posted everywhere in the city, asking all yamen officers and subordinates who failed to report to report within three days. Those who did not report would be "hidden" and would be punished as "enemy spies" if captured.

Register on the spot when you come to report. First fill out the "Registration Form for Old Personnel" and then take photos for your records. This registration all uses cameras newly developed and manufactured by the Ministry of Science and Technology. Because magnesium powder is not easy to process, it is specially equipped with several photography lights to ensure the effect of the photos.

After the photo registration is completed, they are then asked to write a self-report. If they are illiterate, others will do it for them, so that everyone has a file that can be checked. After completing the filing, ask for your intention. Those who are unwilling to continue working as a errand must sign and stamp the pre-printed "Resignation Letter" on the spot, and then issue a voucher to the people.

Because serving as a government servant has tax-free benefits, some people spend money to buy a white official, but they are not actually serving as a servant. Now most of these people have quit their jobs.

Those who are willing to continue serving, whether they are regular or white members, must first recite an oath of allegiance to the Senate and then shave their heads. After their hair is shaved, they are assigned to various departments according to their daily duties.

The personnel of the third shift are received by the police stations at the city and county levels. These people are not awarded police titles and are unified into the detective team as auxiliary security personnel. Household officials, grain cadres, ambassadors from Hebo Stations, and tax collectors are mostly assigned to the tax department... I really don't know where they are assigned, so they will be assigned to the Comprehensive Management Office first.

In accordance with the policies formulated by Liu Xiang, all officials at all levels of the new Guangzhou Municipal Government were held by naturalized cadres from the team heading north, and important positions were also held by naturalized cadres. The descendants only serve as auxiliary personnel. Subordinate officials all wear the old Ming Dynasty official uniforms, but instead wear a brown copper hat - made of concrete pulp - and a blue armband on their arm, with their department written in Song script. The chest and back are in the shape of a soldier, with the word "Xie" written in Song style in big letters.

Liu Xiang requires all personnel, whether they are formal cadres who are naturalized citizens or "auxiliary personnel" who are subordinate subordinates, to be issued work IDs, which must have photos and fingerprints.

After dealing with the whereabouts of the old personnel, the next step is to establish its own new organization. Although it has accepted subordinate officials from one prefecture and two counties in old Guangzhou, in terms of setting up government departments, the Senate does not intend to follow the organizational structure of the prefecture and county yamen. This kind of organization is too crude and completely unsuitable for the rule of the Senate. need.

The newly established Guangzhou Municipal Government is located in the Guangzhou Government Office of the Ming Dynasty. It consists of two districts: Nanhai District and Panyu District. The administrative divisions are roughly the same.

Because it is in the initial stage, the organizational structure under the municipal government is very simple. It only has the municipal government office, police station, tax bureau, civil affairs bureau and a comprehensive management office that manages everything. The district government structures of Nanhai and Panyu districts are also roughly similar. (To be continued.)
