Kyoto Prefecture.
Liu Changqing is working at his desk in the study.
A subordinate clerk came in and reported respectfully: "Sir, someone from the Jinyi Guards is here to see you."
"Let him come in." Liu Changqing kept the brush in his hand without raising his head, nor did he show any surprise. He flipped through the files as seriously as ever.
Not long after, two members of the Jinyi Guards came in and saluted with clasped fists: "I've met Mr. Liu."
There is a saying in the official circles of the Qin State that Jin Yiwei will not go to the Three Treasures Palace for nothing. If he suddenly comes to the door, something bad will happen.
Other officials may be a little panicked at this time, but that's because they have something wrong with them.
But who was Liu Changqing? He glanced at the two of them and said, "No need to be polite, what's the matter?"
"That's it, Mr. Liu." One of them said: "Recently, a criminal named Lan Zhenfeng was arrested by Kyoto Prefecture. This person is a thief who has been lurking for a long time. We have been tracking and tracing here, so... I hope Liu Sir, let us carry the person away."
Liu Changqing almost laughed out of anger: "You want to pick someone up from the prison cell in Kyoto Prefecture?"
This is obviously impossible. What kind of place is Kyoto Prefecture? If someone can take the prisoner away with just a word, then Liu Changqing, the edict of Kyoto Prefecture, is nothing.
Unexpectedly, Jin Yiwei said: "Yes, Lan Zhenfeng will be interrogated strictly by us over there."
"What nonsense are you talking about? I still have a lot of things to deal with. I don't have time to chat with you here. If you have nothing else to do, just leave on your own." Liu Changqing's tone was already a bit rude.
"Master Liu." The Jinyi guards refused, and one of them said: "We are acting under orders. I hope you can make it convenient."
"Whose order?" Liu Changqing asked.
"Master Yang Zhaoyang."
Liu Changqing sneered: "Who does Yang Zhao think he is, hmm? What kind of place do you think this is!"
"But Mr. Liu, the handling of cases by Jinyiwei is a state secret."
As a result, before the man finished speaking, Liu Changqing interrupted him: "Don't use this as an argument! If you want to recruit people from the Kyoto Prefecture, you can get His Majesty's warrant!"
"Master Liu"
"see a visitor out."
Liu Changqing couldn't get rid of Jin Yiwei, so why not.
After he raised his voice, the servants also came in, bowed slightly towards the Jin Yiwei and stretched out their hands: "Please, you two."
"This" the two of them looked at each other, but seeing that Liu Changqing had already started working at the desk again, they could only say goodbye and left helplessly.
The two of them left the house, and one of them said, "What should we do now?"
The other person rolled his eyes: "What else can we do? Go back and report. Do you really dare to act wild in Kyoto Prefecture? If so, Liu Changqing will go to the court with a memorial. Not to mention that your life and mine are over, Mr. Yang." I’m afraid I won’t be able to eat anymore and have to carry it around.”
The man from before laughed dryly: "Well, then go back."
The study room in the house.
Liu Changqing was still writing something. The Kyoto Prefecture would naturally investigate Lan Zhenfeng's case strictly, and he didn't take what happened just now to heart at all.
Soon, another subordinate official came in, bowed his hands and said, "Sir, the Chang'an Director, the Industrial and Commercial Recorder, the Fangshi Secretary and other officials have arrived."
"Okay, I'll serve tea in the back hall, I'll be here right away." Liu Changqing responded.
"Yes." The subordinate followed the order and left.
A moment later, in a living room in the back hall of Kyoto Mansion.
There were six or seven officials sitting on both sides. There was a small square table next to each person for tea. Several officials were also drinking tea and chatting with each other.
"This time Mr. Liu summoned me and others, things should be implemented, right?"
"It seems to me that this matter has been planned for almost a year, and it's almost time to implement it."
While everyone was chatting, footsteps sounded outside, and Liu Changqing walked in wearing official uniform.
Several officials stopped talking and all stood up and handed over their hands: "Your Excellency, your Majesty."
"My colleagues, please take a seat." Liu Changqing returned the courtesy, took a seat at the main seat, and said straight to the point: "Let's not talk nonsense and get down to business."
"Qingyun Street in the southwest of Chang'an is an old and dilapidated urban area many years ago. Many houses have shown signs of collapse. They are not only dangerous, but also dirty. His Majesty has already given his nod to the renovation and construction of the old city. This matter has been delayed. It’s been so long, let’s make a decision today.”
Don't think that Liu Changqing is only responsible for matters such as trial cases. He is the magistrate of the capital and is in charge of administrative, judicial, people's livelihood and other important matters in the capital. In short, he is the top leader in Chang'an.
The Kyoto Prefecture is the largest official office in the world. It has many officials, such as judge, judge, Fuyuan, and Liucao.
The capital of the world has a prominent position.
After hearing this, all the officials nodded, and someone said: "The renovation of Qingyun Street is inevitable. Now the alleys are intricate, some houses have been half collapsed, there are many dangerous buildings, and they hide dirt and evil, which greatly affects the development of the capital. The official still retains his previous opinion, and Qingyunfang City should be added to the existing market in Chang'an."
"But if this happens, will those shops be willing to go there in a short period of time? The people living in Qingyun Street in the southwest are all poor families." Someone else said.
"On this matter, the government can launch a series of policies. Businessmen pursue profits. With good policies, I don't believe that a newly developed market does not have commercial value." The person who said before was an official of the Chang'anfang City Department, quite a man. in the industrial and commercial sector.
Liu Changqing listened to everyone's opinions and looked at Chang'an: "Master Liao, after adjusting the planning plan, are you ready?"
"Everything is ready, just waiting for the official's decision." Chang'an said, handing over a stack of official documents and drawings.
Liu Changqing took it, first flipped through it quickly one by one, and then said: "These officials will study it carefully later, but on the renovation and new construction of Southwest Street, a decision can be made today. After this discussion, everyone will Perform your duties and take care of your own affairs."
"As ordered -" the officials responded.
Next, there was another discussion and study, which was equivalent to a meeting on the renovation of the old city.
Its contents include urban layout, roads, travel, production, workshops, labor, life and other aspects.
Chang'an is the capital city. There are old, collapsed urban areas and dirty and messy areas, which must be rectified.
Finally, Liu Changqing made the decision and decided to fully implement the plan seven days later.
On the other side, Jinyiweinan Town Fusi.
After hearing the report from his subordinates, Yang Zhao had no choice but to smile bitterly, but before he could say anything, another leader said: "This Liu Changqing is too shameless. My lord, in view of my subordinates, it is better to send two elites. I can follow Liu Changqing secretly so that I can teach him a lesson."
"Are you crazy!" Yang Zhao's face changed drastically when he heard this, and he said angrily: "The Marquis and the second-rank minister, who do you think you are?! Dare you spy on him!? Do you want to kill me!"
The leader was shocked when he saw this, and quickly lowered his body: "Yes, it was a humble faux pas. Please forgive me."
"Go away!" Yang Zhao cursed, then took a deep breath and said to the others: "Forget it, the Kyoto Prefectural Investigation Department is doing the same thing about Lan Zhenfeng. Let's tell them everything we know. Since he has been arrested, There’s no need to hide it.”
"Ah? This, sir."
"Go!"
"Yes, yes." (End of chapter)
