In just one afternoon, the security environment of the entire capital has greatly improved.
Especially for the vendors doing small business in the capital, many people couldn't help but cry with joy as they suddenly no longer had the extortion money from the bullies and thugs.
This time, the Wucheng Soldiers and Horses Division's intensity in fighting criminals is unprecedented.
The rogue rangers were led into the Nancheng Bingma Si Yamen one by one by the captains.
Of course, the highlight is still on various illegal organizations.
The leaders of these killer organizations who were arrested and imprisoned all looked calm, and some even smiled and said hello to acquaintances they met.
Zhang Yong, Liu Erqi and Yao Chi all looked a little embarrassed.
Chen Kan looked at the three of them with a smile but not a smile: "I didn't expect that these three conductors have quite a wide network of contacts."
After teasing, Chen Kan didn't mean to blame them. We all have to support our families and we all know that making money is not an easy thing.
The salaries of officials in the Ming Dynasty were so low that they had no other income. It would be good if they could ensure that they would not starve to death, let alone maintain a huge five-city army.
Such things are very normal in any era, and Chen Kan would not blame them for these trivial things.
This world is never black and white.
"Let's go and investigate and see if there are any clues."
Chen Kan took the lead and walked towards the square behind the Yamen with his hands behind his back.
The Wucheng Bingma Si Bing is mainly responsible for arresting bandits and the like, so naturally there are prisons.
It's just a small area, and it's incomparable to Jin Yiwei's prison.
This time, almost all the evil forces in the capital were wiped out in one fell swoop. With so many people, the prison would definitely not be able to contain them.
Therefore, ordinary rogues and the like can only be strung together with ropes and squat in the square with their heads in their hands.
Those who can be imprisoned are the leaders of various civil organizations.
Chen Kan led five people into the prison, and heard bursts of cries of injustice.
Most of these people knew Zhang Yong, Yao Chi and other senior officials of the Military and Horse Department. They shouted injustice on their lips, but they didn't look too panicked on their faces.
This is not the first time they have entered the prison of the Bingma Division. In the past, they could get out with just a little money, and this time should be no exception.
"quiet!"
Zhang Yong shouted loudly, and the small prison instantly became quiet.
"Master Zhang, my brothers have not committed any crime recently. You have arrested the brothers indiscriminately, but your hands are tight. If there is any inconvenience, it is all your brothers, just ask."
The question made Zhang Yong a little angry. He took off the scabbard and hit the man in the face with the scabbard.
"shut up!"
Chen Kan watched this scene with interest and did not speak to stop it.
It all shows that the criminal law for corrupt officials was very severe in the early days. I wonder if accepting bribes should be punished by skinning and selling grass, or should it be punished by punishment?
Zhang Yong was a little frightened by Chen Kan's eyes, and he said, "Sir, don't listen to his nonsense."
Chen Kan smiled and asked, "Who is the leader of Bailian?"
Seeing that Chen Kan had no intention of arguing with him, Zhang Yongyong breathed a sigh of relief.
Then he cupped his hands and said, "Sir, the White Lotus Sect's stronghold is in Nanpo Village, sixteen miles south of the capital. Lord Shi has personally taken people to get it."
Say Cao Cao and Cao Cao will arrive.
Zhang Yong just mentioned that it would take a while for Shi Wen to come back.
Shi Wen walked into the prison with an unlucky old face.
"Sir, my subordinate is not doing his job well, please punish me!"
As soon as he entered the door, Shi Wen knelt down in front of Chen Kan.
Chen Kan frowned slightly and said, "What's wrong?"
Shi Wen showed hatred on his face and cupped his hands and said, "Sir, when my subordinates arrived at Nanpo Village, the members of the White Lotus Cult were nowhere to be found."
"It's indeed them!"
Chen Kan's face instantly darkened.
What a White Lotus Sect, I didn’t come to mess with you, but you came to mess with me first.
I'll fucking kill your whole family!
Chen Kan had never had a good impression of cults, especially cults like the White Lotus Sect, the Maitreya Sect, the Tianli Sect, which brought trouble to the world in the name of rescuing people from suffering.
Since you dare to offend me now, just wait for me to uproot you!
Chen Kan felt secretly angry.
Looking at Shi Wen kneeling on the ground, his tone softened and he comforted: "It's okay, get up!"
"Now that it is confirmed that he is an assassin sent by the White Lotus Sect, we will increase the intensity of arresting the White Lotus Sect members."
With a word of relief, Chen Kan walked out of the prison without saying a word.
Zhang Yong followed and asked: "Sir, what about these people..."
Chen Kandao: "After a review, those with life-related lawsuits will be handed over to the Shangyuan County Yamen or Fu Yamen. Others will give it a beating and let them go!"
"As commanded."
After returning to the yamen and sitting down, Chen Kan waved over Shi Wen and ordered: "You must pay close attention to the infiltration of things into the local area. Next time, you must not be so passive."
"Also, let's put the matter of the mastermind behind the scenes aside for the time being. If we can't find any clues, since it is aimed at me, it will surface sooner or later."
"Yes, I understand."
Shi Wen left with a fierce look on his face. Needless to say, the cult forces lurking around the capital would definitely receive his fatal blow.
Chen Kan leaned on the chair, recalling the danger of that arrow, and became more determined to uproot the White Lotus Sect.
As for the man behind the scenes, since he dared to collude with such a cult, no matter how noble his background was, Chen Kan had already sentenced him to death.
After his mood calmed down a little, Chen Kan was ready to go home and sleep.
As soon as they left the house, Zhang San and Fang Xu brought hundreds of people to prepare for the attack, and even thoughtfully prepared a sedan for Chen Kan.
Seeing Chen Kan going out, Fang Xu came up to him, cupped his hands and said, "Sir, Master Xu has ordered his subordinates to guard your safety at all times."
Chen Kan instinctively wanted to refuse.
With such a big commotion in the capital today, no assassin should dare to risk the disapproval of the world and assassinate him again.
Otherwise, it will not only be the majesty of the Five Cities Military and Horse Division that is provoked, but also the face of the entire Ming Dynasty.
But think about it, if the people of the White Lotus Sect are so unafraid of death, wouldn't my life be in vain?
After weighing the situation, Chen Kan got on the sedan chair they prepared.
The journey home from Nancheng Bingma Division was indeed peaceful, but neither Zhang San nor Fang Xu dared to take it lightly.
As soon as Chen Kan got off the sedan, butler Yuncheng came up to him with a solemn expression.
"Sir, look at this."
Yun Cheng handed over an arrow and a piece of silk embroidered with a lotus pattern.
"The thief is so brave!"
When Fang Xu saw the lotus pattern, he became furious.
Chen Kan took the silk and arrow and asked curiously: "Do you know what this is?"
Fang Xu said angrily: "Sir, this is the killing pledge of the White Lotus Cult."
Chen Kan was stunned for a moment, and then a smile with unclear meaning appeared at the corner of his mouth.
Said to himself: "Things are getting more and more interesting."
