Chapter 727: The Imperial Court wants to be in Datongxing Prison

PS: Ask for a monthly pass!

"Master Meng, thank you." Xing'an knew that if it weren't for Meng Yan, he wouldn't have had a chance to become the superintendent of the Datong Dynasty.

"This is all the trust of the Holy Lords in you, and the lower officials don't have half the credit." Meng Yan smiled, today he is here to accompany Xing'an to take over the prison military mansion.

This Prison Mansion, which is comparable to the Hou Mansion, can be said to be the place with the heaviest yin qi in Datong City.

There is no other reason, there are either eunuchs or women living in it, but it is not yin and heavy?

The people living around are not ordinary people, they are all Guo Jing's disciples and generals in Datong, Guo Jing's loss of power, where will these people go?

"Master Meng, these people were all Guo Jing's subordinates, I'm afraid they can't be used anymore, you have to get me some manpower, otherwise, I can't manage such a big prison mansion alone."

"I don't have enough manpower here, don't worry, the court will consider it, the person you want will arrive in a few days." Meng Yan Road.

"It's okay, but you lend me some manpower first, I don't feel solid to live in such a big yard."

"Okay, I'll line up a couple of people and enter the prison military mansion."

With Meng Yan's assurance, Xing'an's heart can be put down.

"In addition to personal clothes, not a single brick, tile, grass or tree in the prison army mansion is allowed to be taken away, and if it is discovered, it will be severely punished!"

"Zhang Chong!"

"Your Excellency." Zhang Chong ran over.

"In addition to the stewards and people involved in the prison palace, the dismissed servants, each person has twenty taels of silver severance pay, but if someone carries it, then not a penny will be given, and twenty boards will be heavily responsible!" Meng Yan commanded.

"Yes, sir." Zhang Chong took the order and left.

"No wonder the people in the capital say that you, Lord Meng, are kind-hearted and a good official." Xing'an sighed.

"These people are just supporting their families when they join the prison army, even if they make mistakes. That's just coercion, so why should the official embarrass these people? Meng Yan said.

"But these people commit evil and are the most hateful, sometimes they falsely pass orders, causing people to ruin people." Hung Yen Road.

"If he has such a criminal record, the official will naturally not let him go unpunished." Meng Yan Road.

"Master Meng has a heart, where does this severance pay come from?"

"Naturally, it was copied from this prison military mansion."

"We've been in Datong for a while. At this time, I am afraid that the prison army mansion is already an empty shell? "Xing'an Road.

"He just transferred all his belongings, and left some for the daily expenses of the prison military government, and the severance pay is enough." Meng Yan smiled.

"That's right." Xing'an smiled, he was not a greedy person, so he didn't care about how much wealth the prison army mansion had.

What he cared about was how Meng Yan would dispose of this wealth, and the little money he had to dismiss the servants of the prison army was just a drop in the bucket.

"My lord, Lord Huo is here!"

"Xiaguan Huo Xuan see Lord Qincha Meng, and the superintendent of the army Xing Gonggong!" Huo Xuan trotted all the way over. Seeing Meng Yan and Xing'an, he hurriedly bent down and saluted.

"Lord Huo is exempt!"

"Why is Master Huo here?" Xing'an asked.

"The lower official came to see if the supervisor needed help, but seeing that Lord Meng was pressing, the lower official was too worried." Huo Xuan smiled.

"Master Huo, you are familiar with this Datong City, so you will lead the way and check Guo Jing's property in Datong City." Meng Yan Road.

"Huh?" Huo Xuan was taken aback.

"Is there anything wrong with Lord Huo?" Meng Yan asked with a slight smile.

"No, there's no problem......" Huo Xuan snorted secretly. I shouldn't have come, this is a fight. The unlucky ones are all the following errands.

"All the properties related to Guo Jing will be sealed, and if the shopkeeper and the guy dare to escape, a wanted warrant will be issued, and the whole city will be wanted!" Meng Yan ordered.

"Yes!"

Huo Xuan stubbornly agreed, Guo Jing's industry in Datong is all over the city, and there is still a lot of land in the surrounding cities.

That's a lot of money. How many people are staring at it now?

"Master Meng, now that Guo Jing has fallen, how many people are staring at his industry?" Xing'an reminded Meng Yandao.

"Whoever dares to fight Guo Jing's industrial idea, this official will see if his neck is hard enough!" Meng Yan sneered.

In officialdom, the most taboo thing is to eat alone. But Meng Yan didn't plan to eat this alone, Guo Jing's industries were of great use.

"My lord, except for the female dependents and those involved in the case, all the servants of the prison palace have been dismissed." Zhang Chong soon came to say goodbye.

"What about Guo Jing's disciples and private soldiers?"

"Some of the doormen took severance pay and left on their own, and some had already taken refuge in others, and the private soldiers were all disarmed and waiting to be disposed of."

"But all the guests involved in the case must be arrested and brought to justice, take the initiative to surrender, and those who have meritorious service can be punished lightly, how many private soldiers are there?"

"There are more than 800 people on the roster registered by the Prison Military Mansion privately!"

"More than eight hundred, how can there be so many?" Meng Yan was taken aback, even the prince's guards didn't have so many people!

"My lord, don't you know, it is a kind of atmosphere to raise private soldiers here, less than one or two hundred, more than thousands, this is not unusual, not to mention that the combat effectiveness of private soldiers is the strongest, every time they go out, private soldiers will accompany them, so the court will turn a blind eye, as long as it does not exceed the limit that the court can tolerate." Ma Weiran explained.

"What Master Ma said is right, this private soldier Taizu will save the country when he founded the country, but there were strict restrictions at that time, this general was out on the battlefield, and there was always someone to take care of his diet and daily life, as well as to undertake part of the security work, so it is allowed to raise some private guards, but the number of people is not more than three hundred, once it is discovered, it will be imprisoned for questioning." Xing'an explained.

"There's no such thing on the Da Ming Law?"

"No, this is a tacit understanding of the monarch and ministers, everyone knows it in their hearts, but in recent years, the number of generals raising private soldiers has been increasing, and the treatment of private soldiers is better than that of the guards, so many people would rather be private soldiers than serve in the guards."

"What would happen if the imperial court ordered that private soldiers be forced to enlist?"

"I don't know this, but it certainly won't be so easy to do, private soldiers are privately fed, he can be disbanded at any time, then these soldiers are ordinary people, so they are forcibly conscripted into the army. Difficult! "Xing'an Road.

Meng Yan frowned slightly, this is indeed a difficult problem.

"Lord Meng, Guo Jing's private soldiers should be more than these, this is just the number of people on the surface, in fact it may be more, those who guard his property and manor in various places. In essence, they are also private soldiers, how to deal with these people, you can think about it, if you disband directly, these people do not have any life skills, and it is easy to fall into the grass and become a disaster. Xing'an reminded.

"The private soldiers are not in a hurry to disband first, and wait for the official to think of a proper way." Meng Yan commanded.

"These people will definitely not wait for Lord Meng to think of a way, there is a limit to their patience."

"If you resist or run away. Lawfully kill on sight! Meng Yan ordered without hesitation.

Xing'an nodded, this is the person who does great things.

You have to be more ruthless than these outlaws, otherwise you won't be able to suppress them.

Weapons and horses were confiscated, these people were not the opponents of the Jinyi guards who were armed to the teeth at all, not to mention that these people only had one dead word when they ran out.

The rest is the female dependent, the mysterious Madame Ruan's line of sight today.

This woman is said to have a leg with Fang Junhe. When Meng Yan saw this woman, he was indeed amazed.

This woman did have a red face. Cut the water pupils, a pair of eyes seem to be able to speak, can hook the soul of a person.

Age, in Meng Yan's opinion, is not very big, and it is estimated that he is in his early thirties. It is the age group that women desire the most.

For such a woman to be forced to marry an inhumane eunuch, she is hard enough, and it is reasonable to hook up with Junhe above.

Fang Junhe has read books. has the temperament of a second-class literati, and the woman who attracts this kind of ** should be handy.

"Ruan Yuxia of the slave family has seen Lord Qincha Meng."

This voice is soft, it is simply crispy, this woman is really the best, no wonder Guo Jing, the old Wang Ba who can't do anything, wants to marry her into the mansion.

"Mrs. Ruan, excuse me!" Meng Yan raised his hand and said expressionlessly.

"You should know what this official is here for today, right?" Meng Yan said sternly, "I advise you to tell what you know honestly, maybe this official can still give you a way to live, otherwise, your little life will return to the netherworld." ”

"The slave family is a weak woman, I never ask about the master, and I don't have the ability to ask, my lord, what do you want the slave family to say?" Ruan Yuxia said, took out a piece of champa to wipe her tears, and said pitifully.

"Since you don't want to say it, then go to the prison and say it, take it away!" Meng Yan waved his hand and ordered someone to take Nephrite Xia away.

"My lord, this is Ji Chun, the housekeeper of the Inner Palace."

"No beard, a eunuch?" Meng Yan looked at him and asked in surprise.

"Our lord asks you something!"

"You people will have retribution, Dong Weng will not let you go!" As soon as Ji Chun opened his mouth, he yelled at Meng Yan viciously.

This is a die-hard, Meng Yan waved his hand and directly let people take it away.

"From now on, this prison palace is yours of Gonggong Xing." Meng Yan smiled slightly and said.

"It's not mine, it's the imperial court, Xing'an is just taking care of the imperial court temporarily, Lord Meng don't talk nonsense." Xing'an said busily.

"This official won't bother Father-in-law Xing, and he will leave." After raiding the Prison Mansion, Meng Yan's task has been completed, and there is no point in staying any longer.

There's a lot more to do for him.

Talk!

There was a wind of interviews blowing in Datong City, which was a new method of investigating cases invented by Meng Yan, the new inspector of Datong.

After many officials were interviewed, they went straight in, and in just three to five days, dozens of officials, big and small, were invited in.

At present, the officials of Datong trembled with fright when they heard the word "interview."

Of course, not all the officials interviewed were arrested, and there were also officials who were invited to talk to them, not only were they not arrested, but after they returned, they were entrusted with important tasks to replace those who were invited in.

The officialdom of Datong began to be turbulent, but the lives of the common people were not affected, but those merchants who were deeply disturbed by the officials found that there were much fewer people to eat, drink and take cards, and it became easier to do business.

It is a place of high-end consumption, business has declined a lot, and the main force of consumption is now cautious one by one, and they all go home obediently at night, and dare not stay outside.

A terrible rumor came.

The imperial court is going to be imprisoned in Datongxing! (To be continued......)
