A few days ago, the border army defeated the Qing army and beheaded more than 10,000 people to shake the whole city, the patriots were excited, and celebrated day and night, and then soon there was news to the capital, and the thief army of hundreds of thousands of troops swept the Baoding Mansion and was about to go north.

It was really two heavens of ice and fire, and the people who were originally excited and cheering fell into deep worry and fear at this time, burning incense and praying for the Buddha abounded, and some literati and writers who cared about their families and countries were even in the Goolan Wine Workshop while doing sports while lamenting that the country would not be a country, and at the same time scolding the court for not doing its job, and not going all out to suppress bandits, and messing around in the city, it was simply insulting.

What they considered to be insulting to Sven certainly refers to the fact that in one day, the imperial court suddenly ordered the construction of public toilets in places where various groups of people in the city of Beijing were concentrated.

How can such a filthy place appear on the streets in such a filthy place, which immediately attracts the saliva of these trolls, who only spray but ignore the reality of the city being swollen and the stinking of flies, rats and ants.

However, at this time, the imperial court was very stubborn, ignoring the criticism of these trolls, and multiple departments jointly launched a war on environmental protection in the capital, strictly prohibiting open defecation and littering, and the Terracotta Division was responsible for daily supervision, and even the Beijing Camp and Jinyiwei were also involved, and at the same time established public toilets and garbage collection places in densely populated places.

The infrastructure project is also a multi-departmental alliance, with the Ministry of Industry responsible for site selection, the Ministry of Households responsible for demolition, and the construction of the project outsourced to the Royal Octopus Chamber of Commerce.

Usually once the official department is involved, there will be all kinds of dirty insiders, such as eating and taking cards, otherwise the construction period will be delayed again and again, but this time the difference is the household department and the Ministry of Industry, the effectiveness of the work is very high, the reason is very simple, the departments have recently joined forces to fight corruption, no one dares to commit crimes against the wind, and this matter is the emperor personally ordered to supervise, and strive to eliminate the plague as soon as possible.

Once the Ministry of Industry chooses a good place, the construction of the borderless land will start immediately, and the household department with the owner will immediately go to talk, and the negotiation will be particularly smooth, but anyone with a little brain knows the work of Octopus, his background is the imperial merchant and the underworld, almost on the line, don't cause trouble.

Crowded, naturally the first to push the Qianmen Outer Street, where merchants gather is the most prosperous business district and the most famous red light district in the capital, among which Dashilar is the most, around Dashilar, there are Qianmen Arrow Towers in the north, Langfangtou two or three, jewelry market, Jiumen money market.

This area is a place where wealthy merchants are located, and banks, banks, and money banks abound, one by one. Opposite the Dashilar is the meat market and fresh fish mouth, and the outside is the famous Qianmen Street, which leads directly to the overpass and Yongding Gate. There is a street inside from the east exit of Dashilan to the south of the grain store, and further south is Puchen City to the overpass.

There are countless teahouses, restaurants and opera gardens inside and outside Dashilar, such as Dajingcheng nightclub (called Chajia teahouse in the past, Guanghe Lou in later generations), Zhonghe Garden, Qingle Theater, Sanqing Theater, Daguanlou and so on. In addition, there are countless cloth shops, silk shops, tea houses, pharmacies and so on in this area.

In such a prosperous place, the Ministry of Industry has selected five places here in one go.

Of course, the headlines of Dashilar these days are not about building five official toilets at once, but suddenly a dart bureau was established.

What's a dart game? Many people didn't understand it for a while, and they suddenly realized after hearing the news that it was to escort the goods to the nursing home to ensure the safety.

The name of the dart game is Octopus, and those who know the industry will know it as soon as they see the name, and I am the opening of the emperor business, and the background is hard, and ordinary people can't afford to provoke it.

Of course, few people don't even know that Emperor Chongzhen doesn't know that there are Dongchang and Jinyiwei in the background of the Octopus Dart Bureau, not only hard but also ruthless, coincidentally, the Octopus Dart Board is in a grain store south of the east exit of Dashilar, and in the real history, hundreds of years later, this is where the Huiyou Dart Bureau is!

On the day of the opening of the dart bureau, it was widely issued to recruit heroes from all walks of life to conspire together, in fact, it was to recruit a dart master, the capital was a place where businessmen gathered, and there was no shortage of heroes from all walks of life to follow into Beijing, but they were all self-employed, seeing that the salary was expensive, and the applicants were enthusiastic.

As an imperial businessman, there is no shortage of gentry in the capital, and because of the background of the 12th Taibao, the shareholder of Octopus, there is no shortage of underworld bigwigs who come to cheer, but the most eye-catching are the two yamen who only give gifts in the end.

One is the Nancheng Soldiers and Horses, and the other is the Jinyi Guard.

Dashanlan is located in the south of the city for the south of the city of the soldiers and horses directly under the jurisdiction of the division, not to mention the signboard of the brocade guard, these two yamen sent congratulatory gifts, its purpose is self-evident, in addition to knocking on the mountain and shaking the tiger, but also to tell others, we are strong and have a strong background, come and sign the order.

Of course, the biggest shareholder behind the dart game is actually the East Factory, the reason why it does not come forward to support is to be low-key, the name of the East Factory is too stinky, and the second is to offend too many people.

Of course, it's because the East Factory has been too busy lately.

Soon after the restart of the East Factory, there was a shortage of manpower, and most of them called Jinyiwei, and now that the war started, Chang Yu was extremely interested in intelligence collection work, and almost all of his manpower was dispatched to various war zones and south.

Chunxiang, who stayed in the capital, was under great pressure, on the one hand, he had to recruit and train people, secondly, he had to monitor public opinion in the city, thirdly, he had to unite with multiple departments to fight corruption, and fourthly, the most important thing was to secretly do some dirty work for Emperor Chongzhen, and there was also an assassination list ordered by Chang Yu.

Just when Emperor Chongzhen was praying late at night, in the Dongchang Yamen on the east side of the imperial city, Chunxiang looked at the bloody man who had been beaten into a pig's head and was almost humanoid in the edict prison, his expression did not have a trace of pity, and he said coldly: "Do you recruit or not?" ”。

The bloody man's breath was weak: "The gelding dog in the East Factory is miserable and inhumane, it's time to recruit, you, what are you asking me to recruit......"

Chunxiang sneered, looking at the confession in front of him, this person is the person designated by Chang Yu to be arrested, named Chen Hongfan, the crime is collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country, before being arrested, he guarded Dengzhou and Laizhou, Chunxiang sent someone to arrest him before the month, and he was immediately put in prison when he returned to Beijing recently.

This Chen Hongfan is known as the living Qin Hui, and he is the biggest traitor of the Manchu Qing Dynasty in the Ming Dynasty, but he shamelessly writes books and proclaims his allegiance to the Ming Dynasty, shameless to the point of outrageousness! Of course, these all happened after Chongzhen's death and during the Southern Ming Dynasty after the Qing army entered the customs.

However, if it didn't happen, Chang Yu could let him go, he couldn't! Otherwise, how can you be worthy of Zuo Maodi.

Chen Hongfan was arrested by Dongchang and immediately extorted a confession by words and deeds, and this goods immediately confessed to some illegal acts of embezzlement and bribery, interception of military salaries, and even the occupation of subordinates' wives.

But the people in Dongchang still tortured non-stop, and if they didn't recruit, they would be beaten, because Chunxiang didn't get the confession he wanted, and he collaborated with the enemy and betrayed the country!

But Chen Hongfan is not stupid, don't say that he hasn't done this, even if he does, he can't recruit it, this crime is now the death penalty, and he will definitely die!

It's just that he hasn't figured out the situation yet, that is, whether he recruits or not, the end is the same, the same miserable!

"Chen Hongfan, have you ever heard of Ling Chi's punishment?" Chunxiang snorted coldly.

Chen Hongfan, who was no longer human, trembled when he heard this: "You, you geldings can't die well......"

"Peeled!"

Chunxiang said lightly to the punishment expert next to him, Chang Yu said that this kind of person can't solve his hatred with a thousand cuts, so let's have a more exciting way to die.
