Shen Ruiming successfully obtained the person from Du Wen, and Guangzhou was also constantly urging the elders of the judicial department to be in place, so he rushed over without further delay. Tianlai Novelｗｗ . 』⒉
The Ministry of Justice also did its part to enclose the territory in Guangzhou. That is the Guangdong Patrol Censor Yamen of the Huifudong Buddhist Temple in the old time. After the liberation of Guangzhou, the government office was originally planned to be given to the Political Security Bureau, but Liang Xinhu went to Liu Xiang and said that the government office was located at the junction of the two counties of Panyu in the South China Sea and was very suitable as the location of the court. So it was transferred to the Ministry of Justice. Various agencies of the judicial department in Guangdong are now concentrated here.
This place was originally the Xinzang Temple built in the Southern Han Dynasty. It was built for Liu Yan, the king of the Southern Han Dynasty, in response to the twenty-eight constellations in the sky. In the Ming Dynasty, it was expanded into Longzang Temple and later changed into the Inspector's Office.
Shen Ruiming did not come to Guangzhou alone: he also brought his two life secretaries. When he was touring various places, the conditions were not good and he could not bring them with him. Now that he is stationed in Guangzhou for a long time, he naturally has to arrange a comfortable home. For this purpose, he also carried twenty-eight suitcases with him.
The luggage is piling up in the yard. People from the General Affairs Department of the municipal government were rushing around to move things around. Shen Ruiming, like all the elders and naturalized citizens from Hainan, had a combination of accommodation and office work. And what he occupied was the courtyard where the censor lived.
It is quite ironic to say that Shen Ruiming stood in the main courtyard of the government office and looked up at the lobby: the Senate used illegal means to kidnap Gao Shunqin, the censor of the Ming Dynasty, and then occupied his government office for judicial activities. It is quite dark humor to also promote legal ideas to other subjects.
But he had no time to care about these things at the moment. Before he could unpack his bag, Shen Ruiming received a notice from Liu Xiang asking him to attend a meeting.
"So anxious?" Shen Ruiming glanced at the notice and thought it was probably to prepare for the city's second security enhancement campaign.
After the witchcraft case, it was urgent to deal with the Guandi Temple people, a cancer in Guangzhou's municipal government. These thousands of people are not engaged in production, and each of them is entrenched in one area. Although they have a slight role in public security and municipal administration, they are a huge hidden danger to urban order, street hygiene and even overall public security.
In the past, the Guangzhou Municipal Government was not on a stable footing and had limited execution capabilities at the grassroots level. This group cannot be moved. Now that the police and civil affairs systems have begun to take shape, and the material conditions for shelter and resettlement are in place, Liu Xiang naturally can no longer tolerate the existence of such an "underground government." Moreover, the witchcraft case also fully demonstrates that such bottom social groups, which have no basic political demands and are completely profit-oriented, are extremely easy to be exploited politically, and their destructive power cannot be underestimated.
Logically speaking, sheltering beggars and carrying out public security rectification are all administrative matters and have little to do with the judiciary. As for cases that need to be handed over to the judiciary, it is not too late to hand them over for processing. Calling him in so rudely is nothing more than asking the judicial officer to do his job of "knife handler".
Although some elders of the Ministry of Justice believe that the judiciary should be separated from the administration, he will take care of his affairs and I will judge mine. It seems that he is righteous, but in fact he is just his own Xiao Jiujiu. Isn't it just that he wants to expand his power and doesn't want to be restricted? In his opinion, there is no need to be so detailed at this stage, and working together to transform society is the top priority.
"Go and reply to Mayor Liu and say I'll be there soon." Shen Ruiming circled the notice, handed it to the correspondent, looked after the maid a few times, and immediately left for the city hall.
In the confidential meeting room of the municipal government, Liu Xiang, Lin Moguang, Mu Min, Pan Jiexin... several senior figures from the Guangzhou local government were sitting around the table. Except for Zhang Yunmi, who served as the secretary of the meeting, the others were in charge of administration and police. The brain behind the work.
Liu Xiang first introduced Shen Ruiming, and the meeting got down to business.
As Shen Ruiming thought, the theme of this meeting was to eliminate the Guandi Temple personnel and shelter all beggars and refugees in Guangzhou.
"Comrades," Liu Xiang cleared his throat and said, "it has been more than half a year since we liberated Guangzhou. Now Guangzhou's social order has basically returned to stability, the city's renovation work has achieved initial results, and the implementation of the new currency is proceeding steadily. The security in the suburbs has also improved. It has improved significantly, and we now have a fairly usable team of local cadres... It can be said that our work of taking over Guangzhou City has been basically completed. The first step is to be able to enter and stand up to this goal. Now it has been Achieved."
This was a cliche at the beginning, and naturally no one needed to respond. However, someone sent Shen Ruiming a copy of the "Compilation of Basic Situations in Guangzhou".
"Our next one, and one of the biggest problems we face, is the evil force that has been circulating in Guangzhou for a long time - the Guandi Temple people. Everyone knows a little bit about the ins and outs of this group. We also know that the recent witchcraft case is related to The connection with this group. The energy and activity of this beggar group is really quite big.”
From the riots that stormed the Haiyang Guild Hall, to the Wang Da Niao case whose murderer has yet to be brought to justice, there are also countless unsolved cases of theft, abduction, intentional injury, and fraud... many of which are related to the Guandi Temple people. Not only do they directly commit crimes, they also act as a protective umbrella for various criminals and as a channel for selling stolen goods. It has built an "underground kingdom" that is difficult for outsiders to understand and intervene, a place outside the law. This is intolerable to the Senate, which pursues grassroots governance.
"... Now let me ask the comrades from the Municipal Bureau to introduce the specific situation of Guandi Temple's troops."
Mu Min stood up, holding a thick stack of materials in his hand. These materials were collected from social surveys conducted around Guandi Temple in the past few months.
Although foreign beggars can be considered as gang members as long as they register at Guandi Temple, these beggars and refugees are just peripheral and lower-level people. In addition to handing in "member money" every day, they are used by the big-bone beggar-headed drivers at all levels. Little is known about the inner workings of the gang. The real situation inside them is difficult for outsiders to explore. The big bones in charge of each sinus are either hereditary, or they have been working for many years and have worked hard to get to the top by relying on their own abilities. The traditional method of sending undercover agents to infiltrate the enemy's interior to collect intelligence simply doesn't work.
Mu Min could only resort to peripheral investigations. The focus of the investigation and questioning will be on social groups that have more contact and deeper contacts with the Guandi Temple people, especially the subordinate officials in Guangzhou.
Because the Guandi Temple people are actually responsible for a lot of municipal and public security work, the subordinate officials not only have a lot of contact with the Guandi Temple people, but it is also common for them to collude and use each other, and they know a lot about the situation.
In order to launch the investigation, Mu Min's investigation team not only interviewed the retained subordinate officials, but also investigated the imprisoned and retired subordinate officials and obtained a lot of materials.
In addition to these people, the beggars and big bones arrested in the raids on the Chaozhou Guild Hall and other security crackdowns were another important source of intelligence. Although not many big bones and key elements were arrested, they provided the most valuable first-hand intelligence.
Over the past few months, the city police department has roughly grasped the situation of the Guandi Temple personnel.
Mu Min opened the picture board and began to introduce the specific situation of Guandi Temple's troops.
"It is unclear when the organization of Guandi Temple's people and horses originated. There is no written history of this organization, and there is no record in the literati's notes or the county annals of past dynasties. However, from our investigation of the old subordinates and local citizens , Jin Shen, it is confirmed that this gang existed at least during the Longqing period.
"As for their origins, people from the Guandi Temple have a theory: Gao Tuantou's ancestor was a beggar. He studied under Taoist Zhou Dian in the late Yuan Dynasty. The old immortal Zhou traveled around the world barefoot in rags and helped Taizu to win the country. Bi left with his clothes, and it was hard to find the trace of the fairy. There are many legends left behind, the most widely spread of which is that when Taizu conquered Chen Youliang, the ship sailed to Anqing. The wind was calm and the ship could not move forward. Zhou Dian sang "The world is peaceful". To Zhu Yuanzhang It was said that "when the boat started running, the wind started running", so Zhu Yuanzhang sent people to pull the boat with fibers, and immediately a strong wind blew up. After that, Zhou Dian sued, but Zhu Yuanzhang tried to persuade him to stay, but failed. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, he went to Lushan Mountain to visit Zhou Dian's retreat. No result. I could only write "The Biography of the Immortal Zhou Dian" and stay in Lushan to commemorate my old friend. Taizu loved his house and crow, so he wanted to make the ancestor of the Gao family a general. However, Immortal Zhou had long warned his disciples that there would be no three blessings in their lives that lacked an official position. . Taizu then gave him an imperial pole and named him the head of the Guangzhou General Group. He established the General Headquarters at Guandi Temple. Although this legend cannot be confirmed, it shows that the gang does have an official background."
Although beggars are very harmful, they lack sufficient discipline and political demands and will not pose a threat to the dynasty. All dynasties have adopted a laissez-faire attitude towards it. The backward and lax social management capabilities and weak economy of the old era were unable to deal with the phenomenon of beggars, and even relied on them in some aspects. Recognizing their legitimacy and using their power became the only way for governments in many medieval societies to control beggars.
"But their home base is not Guandi Temple, but Jinhua Temple..." Lin Baiguang said confused.
"As for the origin of this name, it is said that the earliest location of the Guangzhou General Headquarters was an old and disrepaired Guandi Temple. Later, the Jin gentry officials rebuilt the temple, and Doukou moved to the Jinhua Temple outside Xiguan." Mu Min said and revealed. Opened the second diagram.
"We don't have the exact number of beggars and refugees currently registered at Guandi Temple. According to old officials in the yamen, prefecture and county yamen originally had special beggars' directories, and those who had to be registered in them were considered official beggars. But everyone Everyone knows that even the Ming Dynasty’s official household register is full of loopholes, let alone such a directory." Mu Min glanced at the document and said, "We have used various methods to speculate and estimate that the total number of people is about Among them are not only those who are poor and helpless, widowed and lonely, disabled... and others who are forced to become beggars, but there are also young adults who are healthy, have sound limbs, and have the ability to work but are indolent and indolent."
