117 Second Master

Zhu Wu is not the previous Zhu Wu, while fighting all these years, he has also been learning, and with the guidance of teachers like Li Shanchang and Xi Yingzhen, he is no longer the straw bag he was at the beginning.

Coupled with the vision and thinking of modern people, they have their own understanding of this ancient but disaster-stricken country.

The problem of ancient China was actually the problem of land. No matter how powerful a dynasty is, in the end, it will become weak or even lose because of land annexation.

There are many factors that cause land annexation, it cannot be said that all landlords are bad, the Chinese people have a crazy attachment to land, and the rich people will be richer in the peaceful and prosperous times, and they will buy more land when they have money.

The poor are still poor, and no matter how glorious and prosperous they are, they are actually struggling to survive. Their meager income is nothing more than food and clothing, and once they lose their land, they will lose everything.

Production relations and productive forces made it possible in these times that there were not so many jobs to feed the landless peasants.

Then the contradiction will erupt.

The outbreak of contradictions is the outbreak of war, which leads to years of destruction, the days are getting worse and worse, there are more and more rebellions, more and more people are dead, people are almost dead, and the way of the world will cease.

It's an endless loop.

However, the navy seems to have given Zhu Wu another idea, there are countless vast lands overseas waiting to be developed.

You can learn from the Great Yin Empire, exile the prisoners to build it, and as long as you break the law, you will get it over, and then send it to garrison.

With the industriousness and construction attributes of the Chinese people, such a city in Nanjing, Chang'an, and Luoyang can be built in a few years.

It's better to occupy the kangaroo place, the kangaroos of later generations are too annoying.

Ever since he saw the huge Hongwu, this thought lingered in Zhu Wu's mind.

Although I know that this road has a long way to go, I just can't wait.

There are many roads in life, and it is much easier to walk.

There are many roads in the country, and it is much easier to walk.

But Zhu Wu's good mood was completely lost after returning to the palace. Zhu Damao, the secretary of public security, made him instantly cold-faced.

The capital has only been stable for a few years, and so many cows, ghosts, snakes and gods have emerged. There are even lower-level officials of the imperial court who are mixed in.

~~~~

Midwinter has arrived, this year's war in Jiangnan has stopped, and there is no movement in the north, it seems that no matter which forces, they are waiting for a new year, but it is still far from the New Year.

Although the year is still far away, the streets lacking in the capital have become lively these days, and there are security soldiers everywhere, and people are arrested by walking the streets and alleys.

Under the rule of King Han, the soldiers would not harass the people, and the people were a little panicked at first, but when they found out that they were all gangsters who had some bad deeds on weekdays, and after the rangers, they all applauded.

For a time, the detention center of the security soldiers and horses was overcrowded. On weekdays, there are some people on the street who show off their might, and they are locked up in it to eat nests.

At the same time, the public security department of the Qingshui Yamen, like some Qingshui Yamen, has also become a lively place, and countless people who ask for help and intercede come one after another, almost stepping on the threshold.

Deputy Sima Yuan of the Department of Public Security was the official of Meng Yuan, and he was the most sleek, and he received all of them, while Zhu Damao, the main Sima of the People's Republic, secretly asked someone to take a small notebook.

Whoever came because of whom, who was entrusted by whom, and what happened to the people he saved, all of them were written clearly and sent to the King of Han for personal perusal.

Although most of the people caught are small minions, there are also many big fish. I thought that the capital was safe, but I didn't know if I didn't catch it, and I was shocked when I caught it.

Those who sell moonshine, those who sell smuggling grain and salt, and those who privately open brothels and gambling houses. When these people were arresting, they not only grabbed a string of them, but also collected a lot of weapons.

After Zhu Damao sent these files to the Han Palace, Zhu Wu laughed angrily. As an old brother who has followed Zhu Wu since Haozhou, I know what Zhu Wu's smile means.

If you are not afraid of the fifth brother's anger, you are afraid that the fifth brother will laugh.

"Keep catching and check slowly!" At that time, Zhu Wu said, "If you want to catch it, you will catch it to the end!" ”

Zhu Damao's heart trembled when he thought of Zhu Wu's expression, and he couldn't help but tremble, as if Zhu Wu was whipping him with a whip when he was a recruit.

"Eleven people were arrested today, seven were usurers, four were sold for illicit liquor, and the moonshine came from Yangzhou."

Zhu Damao's words are like a dog gnawing the ground, and there is sweat on his head when he writes two lines of words.

Those who lend usury still have a way to live, and those who sell moonshine will definitely have to move their heads.

was staring at the words on the notebook, and the sound of two people talking came from behind the screen.

This is the office of the security soldiers and horses, and the outer hall and the inner room are separated by a screen like a wall.

Zhu Damao is inside, a position that others can't see, and the outside is reserved for his deputy to receive his lover.

"Brother, what is this for? Our Han King has a strict order, I don't dare to take the money that shouldn't be taken! This is the voice of Deputy Zhu Damao.

Another hearty voice sounded, "Friends have the friendship of wealth, this is a little bit of my heart, which is the king of the law!" Hurry up and put it away! ”

Zhu Damao sneered behind the screen, and interceded again.

These people are really stupid, eating official food, but their butts are not in official positions. Fortunately, most of the people who intercede so far are the old people of the Mengyuan Yamen, and there are no old people from Huaixi.

"Dude, my fellow villager just put some money out to eat interest, so he won't be locked up for a few days, right? What the hell is going on? You tell me the truth! The pleading man said.

"I'm not sure about this!" Deputy Zhu Damao said, "But you can rest assured, it's not a big deal!" As he spoke, he lowered his voice, "You also know that the chief officer of this Terracotta Division turned out to be a figure in the army, and he couldn't be idle.

If you are idle, you have to find something, and finding out what is a political achievement. Besides, the New Year is coming soon, the Department of Public Security, the Qing Shui Yamen, can't you get some money for the New Year? ”

"You mean?" The giver seems to understand.

"Don't worry! After a few days, the chief officer will see that it is almost over, and he will naturally stop, and when the time comes, your family will be working hard, and people will come out! ”

"Thank you, this is a reassuring pill! But man, my fellow is in prison......"

"Don't worry, I'll take care of it, and I'll make sure I don't suffer!" The deputy sent off the guests with a smile, and said as he walked, "If you want to say that the characters on the market don't have long eyes." The business of the light that does not do the house, the chief officer of the Terracotta Division, does not come to worship, isn't it waiting to be cleaned up? ”

Mother, you can really bury Lao Tzu!

Zhu Damao smiled behind the screen, this was the rhetoric he and his deputy had already decided.

If you want to continue to arrest people, you can't startle snakes. Otherwise, those people on the market are hidden, or they use joy, and it is really difficult to catch.

The most important thing is not to startle the snake. Zhu Damao has his own news channel, and now he is still holding the ground, and they are all small fish and shrimp. The real traitors have not yet appeared.

"Who the hell is that?"

Zhu Damao came out from behind the screen, sat on a chair, and asked with a smile.

The deputy was chubby, in his early forties, and said with a smile, "Lao Liu, the secretary of the household registration in the yamen!" ”

As he spoke, the deputy took out a few silver bills from his sleeve, Dahan Bank, "Two hundred silver dollars, not small!" ”

The main circulating currency of the Han Dynasty is the Han Silver Dollar Tongbao, but it is not easy to carry dozens or hundreds of them.

Therefore, the silver bills issued by the bank have become the best choice for large-value transactions or buying and selling gifts.

Zhu Damao flipped through it casually, ten silver tickets for 20 yuan, counted five and distributed them to the deputy, "Take it!" ”

"Thank you, sir!" The deputy was also not polite, and said with a smile, "Follow the adults, I will know that this money is easy to come by!" ”

Zhu Damao sneered, "Take this money, don't stretch out your hand anywhere else." Otherwise, you and I don't look good! ”

The deputy hurriedly bowed, "I know below!" ”

At this time, there were suddenly footsteps outside, "Brother Da Mao! ”

When I heard it, it was the original brother in the army, and sure enough, a man with one ear missing came in, full of anger.

"The loan shark has recruited a big fish!"

"Let's go! Check it out! ”

~~~

"Ouch!"

"Help!"

"Spare me!"

Prison and hell are both prisons, and hell is not a good place, whether it is prison or hell, people are destined to become ghosts here.

In the prison, the scorching stench of flesh, the wails of prisoners, and the sound of torture are intertwined, a living hell on earth.

Zhu Damao took people and strode in and went directly into the torture room.

Several men were tied to wooden stakes, their flesh and blood blurred, and the hot spots where they were burned by the soldering iron were still steaming.

A sergeant of the security department fiercely nailed a bamboo signature into a man's foot nails.

"To say or not to say?"

"Ahh The man's tied body twisted like a snake, "I've beckoned!" My lord, I'll say whatever you want me to say! ”

"Brother Big Mao!"

Seeing Zhu Damao coming in, the soldiers who tortured others all stopped.

Zhu Damao took out the silver ticket directly from his arms and threw it out, "It's divided!" As he spoke, he walked up to an unconscious prisoner, "Is that him?" ”

Bang, a basin of cold water, woke up the rice people.

The prisoner, who was in his thirties, trembled in horror, crying and begging, "Stop fighting, I've recruited everything!" ”

Zhu Damao slowly squatted down, "Say, where are the chips found on you?" ”

Managing the Department of Public Security, Zhu Damao has heard a little about the gambling houses in the city. But in the city, there are mostly small gambling houses.

The chips were mostly used for large bets, and they were made with precision, and they were all brass, with ten dollars engraved on them, which represented ten silver dollars. Fifty means fifty dollars.

Nanjing City doesn't seem to have such a big gambling house.

"Outside the city, Zhaojiazhuang!" The prisoner immediately confessed, "It looks like Zhuangzi on the outside, and there is a gambling house inside. There are also moonshiners, women, Qingqi people, and it turns out that Qinhuaihe's sister also has it! ”

Fuck, big fish!

The prisoner then cried, "The villain is just an errand runner, a helper, and he is not a fart in it, please let me go!" ”

Zhu Damao smiled hideously, "Who is in charge of it?" ”

"It turns out that a gangster in Nancheng!"

"What's it called?"

"The villain doesn't know his real name, he only knows that his name is Second Master!"

Zhu Damao's eyebrows stood up, "Second Master Nancheng? ”
