During this period of time, the situation in the capital has changed, and the Jinyi Guards of the Fusi Division in Beizhen have been inspecting around the clock every day, not only targeting the officials of all sizes in the capital, but also not letting go of the big families in the capital, and some people in the rivers and lakes, almost turning over the entire capital.

For a time, the whole capital was full of rumors, up to the ministers of the DPRK and the central government, down to the common people, almost everyone was afraid of the Jinyi guards coming to the door, and the originally lively and extraordinary capital became depressed in a blink of an eye, even the former densely populated Qiansanmen Street was sparsely populated at this time, and it was not at all possible to see the prosperity of the past.

Even so, the commander of the Beizhen Fusi Commanding Envoy Menda was still not satisfied, and specially met Liu Juntao to say that his men were too small to fully investigate the capital in a short period of time, after all, the capital was too big.

After Liu Juntao asked Emperor Chenghua for permission, he ordered to mobilize 700 people from the Nanzhen Fusi to supplement the Beizhen Fusi, and at the same time mobilized 3,000 archers from the Wucheng Soldiers and Horses Division, and obeyed the dispatch of the Beizhen Fusi to make Menda.

And the tens of thousands of soldiers of the Beijing battalion stationed in the capital were also involved, and Menda could ask the garrison to cooperate in the search of anyone after consulting Liu Juntao!

Of course, the officers and soldiers of the Long Xiang Army will not work, Menda will not be able to mobilize, and Liu Juntao will not allow others to dispatch the soldiers of the Tiance Army at will.

In this way, the atmosphere in the capital became more solemn, and in April of the first year of Chenghua, hundreds of officials of all sizes in the capital had been arrested, and Menda threw all these people into Zhao Prison and tortured them.

After Liu Juntao saw the list sent by Menda, he knew in his heart that there must be many people who were wronged, but Menda's arrest of these people was not done at will, and the officials on this list had some shady things, either greed, or forming a party, or gaining power.

I have to say that Menda is indeed exquisite, understands Liu Juntao's intentions, and at the same time arrests the murderer, he also takes the opportunity to take down many officials in the DPRK who violated the laws of the Ming Dynasty, so that there are many vacant positions in the DPRK and China.

Liu Juntao was also unceremonious, and immediately ordered the selection of capable talents from various schools in Shandong and Shanxi, and after all of them passed the palace examination of Emperor Chenghua, they were added to the court, which greatly enhanced his own power and purified the atmosphere of the court to a certain extent.

In less than a month when Menda presided over the arrest of the murderer, Jinyi Wei of the North Town Fu Division and the South Town Fu Division joined forces to interrogate hundreds of officials in Zhao Prison on the one hand, and obtained a lot of valuable clues, and at the same time arrested a lot of people and lawless bandits in the capital, almost uprooting the underground forces in the capital!

When Liu Juntao saw the file, he was also amazed, but he didn't expect that at the feet of the Son of Heaven, there were thousands of people from the rivers and lakes, these people not only had swords and other blades that were not strictly forbidden by the imperial court, but also hundreds of pieces of cloth armor, dozens of firearms, and three earth-shattering thunders!

Seeing this, Liu Juntao was also afraid for a while, and immediately ordered Menda to continue to strictly investigate, these firearms must not be spread among the people!

Although Liu Juntao firmly supports the vigorous development of firearms, it does not mean that he is willing to see firearms proliferate among the people, which will not only shake the foundation of the Ming Dynasty's rule, but also lead to the outflow of firearms technology.

Once firearms are spread among the people, those merchants with financial resources and connections can easily gather a large number of firearms, and many of these businessmen are money-oriented, and they may secretly communicate with the Tartars, sell firearms to the Hu people, or even raise a large army themselves!

Liu Juntao doesn't want to have a firearms revolution before his change is completed~.

With the passage of time, everyone in the capital was in danger, and many people were afraid that they would be implicated, and they were all sick at home, and even many people resigned.

For these officials who resigned, the commander of the Beizhen Fusi made Menda arrest them all without hesitation.

Menda believes that these people have studied hard for ten years, and after thousands of troops and horses have crossed the single-plank bridge, they must be thieves. Even if these people have nothing to do with this assassination, they have ghosts in their hearts, and they must have done something else.

What's more, Emperor Chenghua and Liu Juntao have already given Menda a death order, Menda has no way out, he only has a one-month deadline to solve the case and arrest the murderer, and now there are only a few days left, but there are only some clues in his hands, and he hasn't even caught a murderer, not to mention the masterminds behind the scenes, there is no trace.

At this moment, Menda is already in a hurry, where can he care about whether he will wronged a good person? Menda directly ordered his subordinates to use all means, even if they beat those officials who were imprisoned in Zhao Prison to death, and they must find a breakthrough within three days!

In just two days, those officials in Zhao Prison were killed 29 people, the families of these officials have been in the capital all the year round, and they are all hands and eyes to the sky, even if the situation in the capital is urgent now, these people have heard the news, all of them helped the old and the young to rush to the outside of the Beizhen Fusi Yamen to shout grievances, and hundreds of people blocked the Beizhen Fusi Yamen tightly.

Beizhen Fusi commander Menda was also furious when he saw this, and now at this juncture, there was such a thing, and he suddenly became murderous.

But Menda had the courage to beat those officials to death, but he didn't dare to do anything to these hundreds of old and young women and children, all of whom were relatives of dignitaries in the capital or in the provinces, and the forces behind these people were intertwined, and Menda could not afford to offend.

What's more, if Menda really kills these people, Liu Juntao will never agree, and Menda will definitely die an ugly death.

Just when Menda was worried, Liu Juntao, who heard the news, sent Lan Siqi, the head of the Central Department, to rush over, and said to these hundreds of people in public: "Do you want to make trouble when you gather to make trouble?" What is the situation today? Do you want to add another fire? ”

The hundreds of people suddenly shouted in a panic.

"My lord died a miserable death, this is a flying disaster, my lord has to be the master of our orphans and widows!"

"Jin Yiwei is good at killing good people, the crime is unforgivable, please learn from it!"

Lan Siqi shouted a few times, and the hundreds of people stopped and continued to shout loudly over there.

So Lan Siqi waved his hand to the guards behind him, and the three guards immediately raised their handcuffs and fired at the sky together.

The sound of the huge fire bolt was like a burst of thunder on the street, and the hundreds of people were stunned in place. Smelling the pungent smell of gunsmoke, the family members of these officials, who were usually arrogant, suddenly did not dare to speak anymore, for fear that the next sound would be aimed at themselves.

Only then did Lan Siqi say loudly: "Since the imperial court has arrested your family master in Zhao Prison, there is sufficient evidence, and the Beizhen Fusi will also give you the evidence and judgment later!" What is the situation in the capital now, you all know that if you continue to make trouble, it will be related to the thieves who assassinated the general of the Beijing camp, and then it will not be a matter of killing one person, but to behead and wipe out the nine clans! Think for yourselves! ”

After saying that, Lan Siqi left with the guards.

The hundreds of people were buzzing and discussing, and the commander of the Beizhen Fusi Commanding Envoy Menda also took this opportunity to prepare the incriminating evidence and verdicts of those officials, and said: "You have two ways: first, go back with these incriminating evidence and verdicts, and send someone to claim the corpse early tomorrow morning; Besides, this commander invites everyone to Zhao Prison for a cup of tea! ”

At this time, these hundreds of people no longer have the confidence they had before, some of them lowered their heads and led the evidence and verdict and left, although the rest of the people were unwilling, but the situation was like this, and the head of his own family was also unclean, so he could only pinch his nose and admit it.

Seeing that this crisis was successfully resolved, Menda also breathed a sigh of relief, and after the hundreds of people dispersed, Lan Siqi went and returned, and Menda hurriedly stepped forward to salute: "Thank you Minister Lan for breaking the siege!" ”

Lan Siqi returned the salute and said, "Lord Men, Master Hou asked me to ask, how is this case handled, there are only a few days left in the deadline given by His Majesty!" ”

"This ......"

Menda was speechless, and his face was also very ugly.

Seeing this, Lan Siqi shook his head slightly, and walked straight into the Yamen of Fusi in Beizhen, and Menda hurriedly stepped forward to lead the way.

After the two came to Menda's study for official business, Menda hurriedly clasped his fists and said, "Please teach me!" ”

Lan Siqi said: "Those behind the scenes must be the Chinese officials of the DPRK, Hou Ye guesses that most of them are people in the cabinet, even if they are found, it is estimated that His Majesty will also cast a rat trap, after all, to move these people, the movement and the cost are too great, now Hamiwei's Gaslan is ready to move, the imperial court must not be in chaos!" ”

Menda instantly understood, and said: "But now that the movement in the capital is so big, if it stops abruptly, how will it end?" ”

Lan Siqi sneered and said, "Although Master Hou is ready to save a life for these big guys, he didn't say that he would save face for them!" Even if you don't move these elders, the officials under them, as well as their wings, can be sorted out? ”

Menda suddenly came to his senses, and at the same time, his heart was also cold, how old is Liu Juntao, the Marquis of Dingxiang? is only in his thirties, and his wrist is so sophisticated, even he, the commander of the Jinyi Guard for many years, is also sighing to himself, not at all like a military general from the army, but at this time he is more like a powerful minister who has been an official in the court for many years!

Thinking of this, Menda was also a little panicked: he wanted to cross the line!

"Got it?"

Menda immediately clenched his fists and said: "Minister Lan don't worry, I know what to do, please go back and report to Hou Ye: Please wait for good news!" ”

"That's good!"
