Back to the Yinyi Wei Yamen, the new personnel appointments have been issued, Zhang Xiaowu announced the functions and scope of each person's work, Ruan Qingwen and Wu Song each served as the left and right deputy commanders, Guan Xiang, Li Chuncheng, Cao Li, Wen Ruyu, Jin Sheng, Hu Sanwan each served as the editor of the six bureaus, and the rest of the people each served as the assistant editor of each bureau to manage each department, and the directors and assistants of each bureau were all Ghost Guard Captain, School Zuo, Du Lieutenant, Du Zuo, etc., and the head of each workshop was served by the former Ghost Guard.

After the appointment was announced, everyone had no objections, but they had recently taken over 120 household courtyards, which needed a lot of maintenance and repair funds, and Zhang Xiaowu gave each household 1,000 taels of silver to start the repair. One hundred and twenty households is 120,000 taels of silver, if it weren't for Zhang Xiaowu's withdrawal of 250,000 taels of silver in advance, plus the 80,000 taels of silver replenished by the household department and the inner treasury, just the maintenance funds would have occupied most of it.

It is not possible to sit on the mountain and eat empty, the important thing is open source, the dragon capital city of two million people is full of business opportunities, Zhang Xiaowu convened everyone to discuss the business experience, and everyone has offered suggestions. In particular, Wang Bao, who is now the director of the cleaning office of the Internal Affairs Bureau, actually deliberately wrote a list of how to make money in the past in advance, so that everyone can circulate it to each other and study it together.

Zhang Xiaowu asked Wang Bao about the tea fee in the market, and Wang Bao explained more carefully and seriously, at that time, the treasury was empty, and the household department lacked silver, and the king of Nanyang County led the Suzaku Army to pacify Jiangnan, and the silver guard saved a lot of silver to the household department when it was banned. However, the role of the Silver Guard is to maintain the stability of the operation of Longdu City, and even convey the will of the imperial court, so after the Yinyi Guard banned it, Longdu City was in chaos. Just because the people dumped sundries on the streets, causing garbage everywhere, it has already provoked all the ministers to impeach Yin Shaoxue of the Longdu Mansion, complaining that he is not effective in governing the dragon.

Fortunately, Shao Xue's teacher Zhang Kuan supported him, Shao Xue was not Zhang Kuan's best student, but his most loyal student, once Zhang Kuan was sick, Shao Xue resigned and accompanied the teacher day and night, serving his daily life and medicine. Shao Xue was more filial and meticulous than the servants' children, and Zhang Kuan was deeply moved. But Shao Xue also made mistakes, once Shao Xue was in the Qinglou, in order to compete for a woman, he fought with other officials, and both sides were impeached by the imperial history, and Shao Xue was also demoted to a remote area as an official.

This time, Shao Xue served as the Yin of Longdu Mansion, really because Longdu Mansion was a mess, and other officials from the scholar clan knew the depths, so they threw this hot yam to Zhang Kuan. Zhang Kuan immediately thought of his student Shao Xue, who was relegated to a remote place. Shao Xue did not live up to the cultivation of the teacher, and the first thing he did after returning to Longdu was to rectify the Longdu Mansion, drove some corpse vegetarian officials out of the Longdu Mansion, recruited a large number of cadres in the Zhang Party, and restored order in Longdu in an extreme time.

However, regarding the governance of the civil order in Longdu, Shao Xue felt helpless, and he had no right to rebuild the Yinyi Guard, so he proposed to replace the Yinyi Guard with a helper, and obtained the permission of the Great De Emperor.

It's just that where did the state get the money to pay the helpers, so Shao Xue creatively proposed the concept of tea expenses. The tea fee is different from the commercial tax, the tea fee is a project to generate income for the Longdu government, and the business people need to pay the daily tea fee in addition to the commercial tax, which causes great hardship to the small traders in Longdu.

Wang Bao said: "Great Commander, the tea fee is a fat difference, but the reason is that the role of the official and the silver guard is duplicated, so the two sides must cancel one of them, and please consult with Lord Shao as soon as possible." ”

Zhang Xiaowu nodded, Wang Bao retreated, and Wu Song came to report that 2,300 people were arrested in the silver-clothed guard house by force, and 1,000 people were released on the same day because they paid a deposit, and the rest were still locked up in the dungeon.

"But there are a lot of people who come to say hello, please let them go." Woodsland Road.

Zhang Xiaowu said: "No one can intercede, and if you don't pay the money, you won't let people go!" ”

Wu Song smiled: "General, why don't you sell them face?" ”

Zhang Xiaowu said: "Remember, the more strict we are now, the more they beg us in the future, and the more we give them face, they will kick their noses in the face." ”

After holding on for a few days, many people were forced to come to the Yinyiwei Mansion to pay the fine, and the people who were ransomed spread out that the dungeon of the Yinyiwei was death row, and those who entered were people, and those who came out were ghosts, and they did not want to go to the Yinyiwei dungeon again in this life. The dungeon of the silver guard is actually a water dungeon, in addition to the cold dirty water, there are rats, feces and urine, mosquitoes and water snakes, which is not crying after entering the father's mother, and swears that he will never enter the water dungeon of the silver guard again in this life.

As a result, among the Beijing divisions, there began to spread the saying of how the Yinyi Guard dungeon was terrifying, and there was a saying among the people: "I'd rather enter the ghost gate than go to the Yinyi prison." ”

In the end, there were only more than 500 people who remained in the dungeon because no one paid the ransom, and only one of them was special, he was not unable to pay the ransom, but was arrogant and was locked up (pretending to fail), this person was the third person who was knocked unconscious.

Although it is rumored that Hou Laosan was killed by the silver-clothed guard, in fact, Hou Laosan was not killed, but was only knocked unconscious, and was falsely said to be killed. After Hou Lao San was imprisoned in the dungeon, he arrogantly said that he was carried in and had to be carried out, and Fang Youguo, the director of the prison of the Imperial Prison Bureau in charge of the dungeon, did not believe in evil anymore, and threatened that anyone could let go, so he could not let Hou Lao San go. As a result, Hou Laosan's subordinates were ransomed out, but he was still locked up in a dungeon (water prison) and suffered.

Waiting for the third child to be soft, he begged the guards to let him out, and knelt on the ground to apologize to a dozen big mouths to admit his mistakes, but unfortunately, no one cared whether he interceded or not, as if he was just waiting for him to be tortured to death.

The long time in the water prison made his feet sore, and his buttocks were also sores, and there seemed to be no trace of vitality written on his body. When Hou Laosan's family saw him, they didn't dare to confirm that this was Hou Laosan for a long time, and when they learned about it, they immediately cried.

The only reliance of Hou Laosan's family is the twelfth concubine of Lin Yuan, the eldest son of Mudong Hou, and this concubine used to be Hou Laosan's outer room. But as one-twelfth of Lin Yuan, the concubine couldn't get love in front of Lin Yuan at all, and even for the place of serving every day, the twelve women could not only quarrel but you hurt me and I cheated you, so this road was delayed.

Soon, the concubine happened to take a walk in the back garden with the puppy in her arms, and happened to meet the third son, Lin Dong, walking the dog.

Lin Dong was very interested in the dog in the concubine's arms and asked for it. The concubine handed over the dog to Lin Dong on the condition of rescuing the third child. Lin Dong sent someone to Yinyi Wei to explain it, but he was ruthlessly refused. Lin Dong was annoyed and ashamed, but it was not worth offending the silver-clothed guard for a dog, so he could only vent his evil fire on the concubine. That night, taking advantage of the fact that the eldest brother Lin Yuan was no longer there, Lin Dong tossed the little concubine all night to vent his anger.
