Guo Gang's heart was filled with anger. It was a certainty that the Fujian Security Bureau had neglected its duties. There were so many local problems in Fujian and they were so serious that no one from the Security Bureau reported it to the capital!
After settling Yu Xin, Guo Gang personally kicked open the door of the Jianyang Security Bureau branch.
Liu Chang of the Hundred Households was drinking and having fun. When he was drunk, he heard someone coming to make trouble. He couldn't help but get angry. This is the territory of the Security Bureau, and no cats or dogs can come here!
"Who are you?"
Liu Chang asked coldly.
Guo Gang glanced at everyone with a stern look. They were all showing ugly faces, all of them had nothing to eat, and all of them were drunk and dreaming!
Is this the security bureau?
Is this still the Security Bureau? !
Guo Gang couldn't believe the scene in front of him, but the badge hanging on the screen and the embroidered spring knife leaning in the corner of the room all showed that this was a branch of the Security Bureau!
"Are you Liu Chang, a member of the Jianyang Security Bureau?"
Guo Gang's face showed murderous intent and he walked towards the wine table.
A drunken man pushed Guo Gang: "Who do you think you are? You dare to call Lord Baihu by name?"
Guo Gang grabbed the opponent's thumb and broke it violently. The opponent bent over in pain. Guo Gang raised his hand and slapped the opponent to the side. Then he raised his foot and stepped on the stool, saying coldly: "Feixiu Mu" You are not allowed to drink alcohol at this time. This is the rule of the Security Bureau. Where did you put the rules?"
Liu Chang grabbed the wine jar next to him and threw it over, shouting: "When will it be your turn to be an outsider taking care of the security bureau's affairs? You are looking for death!"
Guo Gang raised his hand, smashed the wine jar with one punch, and withdrew his hand: "The Security Bureau is loyal to the emperor and is the emperor's bodyguard. It shoulders the important task of investigating the place and ensuring the safety of the Ming Dynasty! But what about you? A group of drunkards are worthy of Xiuchundao, too. Do you deserve to call yourself a member of the security bureau?"
Liu Chang slapped the table: "Brothers, beat me to death!"
Everyone was ready to take action after hearing this, but before their sleeves were rolled up or the bench was swung, a waist badge appeared in everyone's eyes. Everyone may not be literate, but they are all familiar with this waist badge.
This is the badge of a senior official of the Security Bureau!
"Security Bureau Headquarters, Qianhu Guogang!"
Liu Chang sat down.
Everyone was shocked and trembling, not knowing what to do.
Although the other party is only a thousand households, once the thousand households from the headquarters of the Beijing Security Bureau leave the capital, they are automatically one level higher than the local thousand households. Even if Sun Zhengcheng, the thousand households from the Fujian Security Bureau, comes in person, he must be respectful and careful.
Guo Gang walked toward Liu Chang, while others avoided him.
"Do you know why Sun Zhengcheng didn't come to Jianyang with me?" Guo Gang walked up to Liu Chang, raised his leg and kicked Liu Chang down to the screen, knocking over the screen, and sat down again. He stepped on Liu Chang's chest: "Because Sun Zhengcheng is under control! Now it seems that the Fujian Security Bureau has a big problem. Tell me, what did you do behind the emperor's back?! You know The rules must be explained clearly. If you don’t harm your family, if you don’t cooperate, if you can survive the punishment from the Security Bureau, just try it!”
Liu Chang was no longer drunk and was trembling all over. It was over, completely over...
At midnight, Yu Xin was still awake.
Although the spread of the plague was controlled, Wang Chang, Wu Shanqiao and others did find a prescription to treat the plague, but these were not enough to treat everyone, and the fatality rate was still high.
According to the documents sent by Wang Chang and others, Shaowu Prefecture, where the plague was most serious, had emptied many villages and towns due to the plague. It was difficult to count the number of people who died, but it was at least 5,000.
Wang Chang is asking for help. It is difficult to deal with such a large number of corpses by relying only on the power of medical officers, but he cannot leave them alone and expose them to the wild!
If the army is sent forward to help, there will be potential dangers. Once the army is infected with plague, the consequences will be serious.
Yu Xin felt sorry for the dead people, worried about the people who were going through life and death, and even more worried about the situation at hand.
More and more evidence shows that Wang Zhonghe, the Chief Envoy of Fujian Province, is a very powerful figure. He almost actually controls the Dusi and the Inspectorate, and uses various means to win over and control various prefectures and counties.
Oh, Taizu abandoned the provincial system of the Yuan Dynasty and set up three divisions to take charge of administration, justice, and military affairs, in order to prevent one family from becoming dominant. Now, a powerful figure has emerged and has unified the power of the three divisions. No, With Zhu Yunwen's appointment, he has become a "governor".
The real governor actually felt troubled when faced with a "fake" governor.
Guo Gang knocked on the door, walked in, and handed a document to Yu Xin: "The Fujian Security Bureau has gone blind. I will report to the capital to seek reorganization of the Fujian Security Bureau."
Yu Xin looked through the documents and was not surprised by the result: "Sun Zhengcheng is still arrogant. It seems that he should be sent to the capital. The Security Bureau is the emperor's private soldier. I can't say anything, but stay away from the capital. How to ensure that the Security Bureau is loyal and fulfills its duties requires you to pay more attention."
Guo Gang sighed.
The problem of the Fujian Security Bureau is probably not unique. After seven years of comfortable life, many local security bureaus have begun to become corrupt and enjoy themselves. They have forgotten their responsibilities and rules!
Speaking of which, it is not peace that erodes people's hearts, but desire that erodes people's hearts. It's just that peace opens windows for desires, allowing them to come out and enjoy the breeze and sunshine directly.
In order to solve this problem, Zhu Yunwen once set up the Penalty Bureau outside the Security Bureau, and Gu Sanshen served as the commander. Over the years, Gu Sanshen has done his best to reorganize the security bureaus of Shandong, Henan, Beizhili and other places, and his management The focus was placed on the north due to the construction of the new city, the northern defense line, smuggling of arms, etc., and less attention was paid to the security bureaus of the southern provinces.
Now it seems that it is necessary for the Criminal Punishment Bureau to dispatch forces as soon as possible and go deep into the southern provinces to comprehensively reorganize all branches of the Security Bureau!
Guo Gang looked at Yu Xin who was looking through the documents: "Are you going to take action against Wang Zhonghe?"
Yu Xin turned over the documents and shook his head: "These testimonies are not enough. We need actual evidence. Most of the people involved in this matter are local officials. We cannot rely on this testimony alone. Just like the power to cut bamboo, the people They say that one acre of land costs five taels of silver, but the government insists on saying that one hundred acres of land costs five taels of silver. Who do you believe?"
"Of course I trust the people..."
Guo Gang didn't even think about it.
Yu Xin waved his hand: "The people may not be able to lie. Of course, the people are obviously right about this matter, but the problem is that no one can produce the government document that requires five taels of silver for an acre of bamboo forest, and no one can take it. To produce such a certificate, even if you go to the Chief Envoy to look for the receipt, it seems that it says 100 acres, not one acre. Without real evidence, how can you convict them?"
Guo Gang can imagine that these people can completely eliminate all evidence through fabrication. There is only one gap between one acre and one hundred acres. If you fill in the word "hundred" in this gap, it will be perfect. As for It’s enough to charge the connection and burn all the credentials.
There is no evidence, so why should we say that the government overcharged us? Why should we say that the government did not act according to the rules? No matter who investigates, the government will be right.
Yu Xin continued with a gloomy face: "The problem in Fujian is huge. If we want to move, we must do it with thunderous force, and we must not alert the snake. The task of the Security Bureau is still very heavy now. You must find Wang Zhonghe to bribe, bribe, and collude with other people." Direct evidence of government offices and officials, grasp the channels through which their interests are channeled, find out the network of connections behind them, and find out whether there are people who can be used by the court."
Guo Gang felt that he had a heavy responsibility, especially since the Fujian Security Bureau's headquarters was no longer available. Temporarily adding people from the Beijing Security Bureau to intervene in the investigation would easily reveal his intentions, and the efficiency would be very low. For the current plan, he could only use the principle of "paying for his crimes and making meritorious services." .
Yanping Prefecture, Nanping County.
The navy fleet docked on Jianjiang was in neat order, and patrol sergeants were arranged on the shore. A horse rushed up quickly and shouted: "Li Jian, Commander-in-Chief of the Navy, takes the order!"
When Li Jian heard about it, he quickly went ashore to salute and receive the order. However, the visitor did not announce the order. Instead, he handed the imperial order to Li Jian and whispered: "Your Majesty has ordered that the navy prepares for the southeast and is ready to go out at any time."
Preparing for war?
Going on an expedition?
Li Jian broke out in a cold sweat. Could it be that Wang Zhonghe really wanted to rebel? Does he really think that he is Chen Youliang, Zhang Shicheng and the like? Does he really think that this is still the troubled times of the late Yuan Dynasty, and he can separate one party at will?
Now the Ming Dynasty has no strong enemies outside and no major dangers inside. The Beijing army is too strong to fight, and the navy is powerful and cannot be bullied. Under such circumstances, to rebel is to seek death?
After Li Jian sent off the messenger, he didn't know what Zhu Yunwen was thinking for a moment. After hesitating for a moment, he still issued an order for the navy to prepare for the southeast. This order was not only passed to the navy officers and soldiers such as steam engines and ships, but also Fujian Navy, Guangdong Navy, Jiangsu and Zhejiang Navy!
Seeing such a large-scale mobilization, Li Jian was a little confused. To deal with a small Wang Zhonghe, did Zhu Yunwen need to launch such a large-scale battle?
According to the latest order of the Navy, the main force of the Navy in Guangdong, Jiangsu and Zhejiang will gather on the southeast coast within half a month of receiving the order to block the Fujian outlet.
After hearing this, some well-informed people began to waver.
Anyone with a discerning eye would know at a glance that the imperial court was planning to completely rectify Fujian's officialdom. The main force of the navy was coming, and danger was approaching. If he continued to follow Wang Zhonghe, the future might not be good.
The first person who couldn't bear the pressure was Zheng Quan, the Inspector-General of Fujian Province. Because he helped Wang Zhonghe handle many shady cases, he hid one injustice after another. However, Fujian's politics was clear on the surface, but in fact it was very dark.
In order to protect himself, Zheng Quan ran to Nanping County, Yanping Prefecture overnight, hoping to find Yu Xin to report him. Unfortunately, Yu Xin was not in Nanping. Zheng Quan, who was worried about being killed, went directly to the navy camp to take refuge.
Li Jian didn't cast the net, but a big fish jumped up.
In order to prevent the situation from getting out of control, Li Jian immediately blocked the news and reported to Yu Xin urgently. At the same time, he asked the Security Bureau to cooperate with the tight blockade of key roads to prevent the news from reaching Wang Zhonghe and others in Jian'an.
Suddenly, storms suddenly rose in the southeast.
