No one noticed that there were two people dressed as migrant workers in a nearby secluded alley looking at them coldly.
"It seems that Shi Weng's spell didn't work." A migrant worker who looked like he was carrying a big bag at the dock looked at the person opposite and said, "It's only been a long time, and the plague is over without killing many people. This so-called evil magic of yours It’s of no use at all.”
"You don't see how much trouble this plague has caused for the Kun thief." The man who looked like a porter opposite raised his eyes and glared, "Just because this shop has been closed down so many times, and it lasts for several months, the Kun thief will have to make a lot less money. ? Is it possible that your Majesty still thinks that we can only talk empty words?"
"You can save these words and ask for credit in front of Shi Weng." The man carrying the big bag smiled contemptuously, "If you want to say empty words, they are really empty words. Do you think this plague is caused by you Taoist priests who put some evil spirits in the Liumai Canal? What's causing trouble? I'll tell you the truth, this is the plague! The thieves don't know how to live or die and import furs from Liaodong. The fact that the plague was brought in from the furs has nothing to do with the messy digging of graves you made."
"If there were no mage invited by Shi Weng"
"Don't mess with that mage. I think he won't live long. The Australians are going to pull him out and show him to the public for a public trial. I'm afraid there will be a lot of heads in Guangzhou."
The migrant worker slowly took out a box of "Big Production" from his arms and said while touching the matches: "The guard against thieves is getting tighter every day. I'm afraid there will be no chance of using these underhanded methods again. It's just that I can use my brains more on the thief’s money.”
"Are you talking about counterfeiting money?"
The migrant worker chuckled, blew out a smoke ring, and said: "I really don't know what to say about Shi Weng. Why do you have to make counterfeit coins? Let me advise you first on Mr. Paul's behalf. You can't make counterfeit coins." "
The porter looked dissatisfied and sneered: "In that case, I still need to ask sir for some advice. What brains does this thief have in his money?"
"Mr. Paul is not good at this matter, but there are people in Ming Dynasty who are. Please ask Shi Weng to ask Lao Xier in Shanxi House for more advice."
He wanted to say something else, but when he looked up, he saw several patrolmen dragging their batons towards the alley. He shook his head, quickly handed a wax pill in his hand to the porter, and left with his head lowered. The porter looked at his back, lowered his head and lit a "big production" stick. After taking a few puffs, he picked up the stick and walked out of the alley.
After martial law was lifted, the entire city government immediately went into full gear: too many things had accumulated. There are several important things before Liu Xiang: the conclusion of the witchcraft case, the civil service examination that was postponed due to the epidemic, and the second public security crackdown.
Because the witchcraft case itself is deeply involved with the Guandi Temple people, and the Guandi Temple people, as an evil force that has been entrenched in Guangzhou for many years, are actually inextricably linked to many other criminal and public security cases. It can be said that it actually plays the role of the general backend for various criminal elements in Guangzhou.
When Shen Ruiming and others were sorting out the case files, they found that there were many overlapping parts. Many interrogation records involve Guandi Temple personnel.
"This is not pulling out carrots to bring out mud, it's simply pulling out peanuts." Shen Ruiming flipped through the case file and made marks from time to time with red and blue pencils.
"Pull peanuts?" Zhang Yunmi, who was helping him organize the case files, asked, tilting his head.
"Have you ever seen peanuts being pulled out of the ground? No, right? When that thing is pulled out, there are many peanuts attached to it, and sometimes the vines will extend very deep and far." Shen Ruiming pointed to the case file, "It's such a big thing. It’s really rare to have a case where the whole body is mobilized.”
"Didn't you work as a lawyer before? You should be well-informed."
Shen Ruiming thought to himself that I am a lawyer and I don't work in the procuratorate. I really have no chance to see this kind of "nest case".
One name will be involved in multiple cases, and one case will be involved in many names, just like countless spider webs intertwined over and over again. Some cases even involve events from many years ago and involve all aspects of society.
After discussion, the elders of Guangzhou decided to start with the witchcraft case and conduct a thorough "spring cleaning" of Guangzhou at the social level through an in-depth investigation of the Guandi Temple people.
Guangzhou was the first big city the Senate entered. Before entering the city, the Senate's reputation was nothing more than a group of reputable merchant pirates. After raising the flag of rebellion, they became treacherous officials and traitors. The witchcraft case is a great opportunity for the Senate to win over the hearts and minds of the people of Guangdong.
Cases of childbirth harvesting and mutilation, as well as cases of abduction and trafficking of women and children, mainly harm the middle and lower class civilians in the city. The public's anger is great and the harm is widespread. Seriously affecting social stability. A thorough investigation of this case will not only eliminate harm to the people, but also be a good entry point to win the support of the public class. The Senate has won the hearts and minds of the people, and any gang that wants to cause trouble in the city of Guangzhou is like water without a source or a tree without roots.
Through the detection of the case, we will concentrate our efforts and mobilize the masses to completely solve the influence of the Guandi Temple people. In particular, through the interrogation of the Guandi Temple personnel, many old cases in the past were cleared up. Further win the hearts and minds of the people.
Through the investigation of the witchcraft case and the Guandi Temple troops, we dig deeper into the background. Justifiably deal with a group of non-violent and non-cooperative gentry.
Finally, the sensational effect of the case was used to divert the disaster to the north, and the beneficiaries of harvesting and harvesting were directed at the vassal kings, eunuchs, and the emperor of the Ming Dynasty. Anyway, it is a historical fact that the emperors of the Ming Dynasty loved alchemy. In addition, Jiajing was almost strangled to death by a palace maid, and the red pill case and other dark materials completely brought down the Ming Dynasty's orthodoxy and put it completely against the people.
Liu Xiang instructed the propaganda department to write a special report on the case. The more horrifying the relevant reports, the better, add physical evidence, and use the golden finger of photos to hold a traveling exhibition. The more fearful the people are, the more they can transfer their fear and hatred of the case itself to the Ming regime through propaganda. The root cause of these murders is a decadent and backward society, and they take the opportunity to speed up the progress of social transformation. The Senate took this as an opportunity to establish a firm foothold in Guangdong.
The police department began working around the clock. Because there were too many prisoners to be interrogated, the interrogation venue was moved from the city to the Ming Army barracks in East Campus. The shackled prisoners were escorted here in groups.
Originally, the Zaoban government officials from one prefecture and two counties in Guangzhou, whether retained or retired, were all recruited according to the roster. Under the command of officers from the pre-trial section of the police station, interrogations were conducted day and night in thirteen divisions. In the evening, a bonfire was lit in front of the door.
The prisoners arrested in various cases, the big bones and key members of the Guandi Temple people in Mali, were first stripped naked, put on the torture rack and whipped, and then they were hung up and tortured. In the past, the yamen servants of Zaoban showed off their energy one by one, tortured and extorted confessions, their fingers and sticks creaked, their screams, moans and roars echoed with the sound of the wind, like sledgehammers, pounding the east gate of Dadongmen hard. The hearts of the wealthy gentry owners from Gao Avenue to Yuanyun Street.
Those who fainted under severe torture were dragged to the school grounds, smoked with straw fire to wake them up, and then given strong drinks or brought back to their senses. When their bodies can no longer withstand the torture, medical staff will treat them to prevent them from dying.
The content of the interrogation is based on the clues currently available. Since entering the city, various departments have grasped many similar clues in handling various matters, especially
