With the development of Xiangshan County's economy, it is inevitable that the dark side is also growing. In particular, things such as cheating, kidnapping, cheating, and robbery have happened.

Zhang Yifan is also experienced in these, and when he was a child, he went to a railway station in the south, which was called a chaos, so he was also vigilant about such a situation.

At Zhang Yifan's level, things like this are rarely heard. If he really was just an eighteen-year-old Ming Dynasty man, he might not be able to know the truth behind it.

However, he is not.

It's all going to get to the point of beating the drums, and in terms of probability, this is definitely not the first. In Zhang Yifan, a place where the colt can't see, chaos must have grown.

According to the man's accusation, it was said that the gangsters also had relatives who worked in the yamen. I can't be sure of this, but I can't disbelieve it!

Zhang Yifan believes that the people below will definitely have an understanding of things in society, but they have not reported to him. There are two reasons for this.

One is that they don't want to alarm him; The other is simply interested.

In this case, as small as a county government or as large as the imperial court, there are actually similar situations. Because of this, the Ming Dynasty only had factory guards, rather than just listening to the words of the bureaucrats.

Zhang Yifan is only a county order, and he has only been in office for three years, which is not suitable for having his own "Jinyi Guard".

However, he also has a solution to this matter.

No, after Zhang Yifan transferred to the back office, he immediately instructed Zhu Wudao, who was following behind: "When you find a few people, go and bring the couple to the backyard just now, and I will ask again." Remember, try not to let others find out. ”

"Yes, colt!" When Zhu Wu heard this, he didn't understand why he did this, but he still agreed.

As a result, what Zhang Yifan never expected was that at noon, when he had just finished lunch, he saw Zhu Wu coming over with someone and carrying two sacks.

Zhang Yifan: "......"

He saw at once that Zhu Wu had stuffed people into a sack and carried them over.

Sure enough, Zhu Wu asked people to put down the sack, and then told Zhang Yifan: "Donkey, people brought it!" ”

Zhang Yifan was really speechless, and hurriedly said: "Hurry up and release people, how can there be such an invitation?" ”

"Didn't you say it was best not to be seen, colt?" Zhu Wu listened and defended, "This is the most appropriate, no one will find out that they were brought!" ”

At this point, the sack was untied. Originally, the two inside had been struggling, but after hearing the conversation, they both stopped struggling.

Removing the cloth from his mouth and untying the ropes that bound his hands and feet, the two immediately hugged each other with fear and confusion on their faces.

When Zhang Yifan saw it, he hurriedly squeezed out a smile and comforted: "Don't be afraid, this is to not alarm the gangsters, so as not to leak the news." Didn't you eat? Come on, hurry up and arrange a meal for the hospitality. ”

Seeing that his subordinates went to get food, he continued to say to the two people in front of him: "You explain the situation again, you have to be specific." ”

Zheng Baolu had seen Zhang Yifan in the lobby, of course he knew that this was a concubine, not a pretend, and when he heard his words, he stabilized his mind, and hurriedly let go of his daughter-in-law and kowtowed: "Master Mingjian, the grass people are indeed Shaoguan ......"

Then he recounted the situation.

Zhang Yifan listened carefully and didn't find any flaws. He could hear that those gangsters should be habitual offenders, and they were definitely not improvised.

So, he ordered someone to call Zhu Jingjing over, and then said to Zheng Baolu: "You two, describe in detail what those villains look like?" ”

Zhu Jingjing, on the other hand, began to paint portraits according to their descriptions.

And he himself went to the library to consult the documents.

When Zhang Yifan went to check the archived official documents with a purpose, he found some signs of cheating and abduction cases. However, most of them were not reported, and even if they were reported, it was a spring and autumn penmanship to cover up the past.

Subsequently, Zhang Yifan summoned Zhang San, the historian.

This Zhang San, who started at the end of Wei, became a classic history because of Zhang Yifan's appreciation, and he can be regarded as a trustworthy person by Zhang Yifan.

Therefore, Zhang Yifan asked sternly: "How is the public security situation in Xiangshan County?" The official must listen to the truth and not hide anything! ”

Zhang San had never seen the county magistrate speak to him so harshly, and he was immediately a little panicked.

Of course, he knew that someone beat the drum to complain in the morning, so he hurriedly replied: "Master Ma, my subordinates don't dare to hide anything, there really hasn't been a major criminal case, at most it is some cheating, and there are some small things to rob money." His subordinates also sent people to inspect everywhere, but it is possible that we all know each other in Xiangshan County, and when we inspected, we did not bump into these things, so we didn't dare to alarm the horse master! ”

Speaking of this, Zhang San said with a bitter face: "These little things are not only difficult to investigate, but also delay the effort, and the yamen is really thankless to do. ”

Hearing this, Zhang Yifan was silent.

The lack of understanding made Zhang San think that as long as it was not a big case like murder, other things were actually trivial. Moreover, Zhang San had never done a history before, which was also the reason why he couldn't do his best when he did things.

In the past, county officials were the kind of people who inherited their father's business, and they could indeed impart certain experience. And if you want to break the professional hereditary, it seems that you still need to make up for a vocational training course.

Thinking so, he didn't complain too much about Zhang San, but emphasized: "People's livelihood is no trivial matter, if you are a bitter master, come to a strange place, be robbed of all your money, and take your wife with you, how desperate will you be?" How bad will it be for our Xiangshan County? In the long run, will there still be outsiders who dare to come to build our Xiangshan County? ”

"Colt, they ...... They're here to make money. Zhang San listened, hesitated for a while, and finally defended.

As soon as Zhang Yifan heard this, he knew that this was another question of understanding.

So, he asked rhetorically: "Do you think that without outsiders, Xiangshan County will be so prosperous?" ”

Speaking of this, he commanded in an unquestioning tone: "After you go back, write a report to this official, the content of which is the merit of the stranger!" Hand it in tomorrow! ”

Zhang San: "......"

Seeing that the colt was serious, he didn't dare to defend himself, so he could only leave with a bitter face.

Subsequently, Zhang Yifan returned to the backyard.

"Brother Fan, look at it, two wicked people have been drawn." When Zhu Jingjing saw him, he motioned for him to come over and look, and said at the same time.

Zhang Yifan glanced over and felt that the painting was good, so he turned his head and asked Zheng Baolu, who had finished eating and was standing there stiffly: "How much is it like?" ”

"At least eight images!" Zheng Baolu heard this, and hurriedly replied, "Her Royal Highness the princess is so powerful, this person is really like!" ”

Zhu Jingjing smiled slightly when she heard this, she was still confident in this, and said to Zhang Yifan: "Brother Fan, then you can go and get someone!" ”

Zhang Yifan listened, shook his head and said: "Not only to catch this gang, I am going to come to a big one, completely clean up Xiaxiangshan County, and solve some problems caused by the rapid development of Xiaxiangshan County." ”

For his arrangement, Zhu Jingjing naturally would not object.

Subsequently, Zhang Yifan wrote two letters and sent them to Guangzhou and Dongguan respectively, in addition, he called Qi Xiang over, called the sergeant, and began to control the wharf, official roads and other traffic arteries without a trace.

…………………………

Dongguan He family, after He Zhen read the letter sent by Zhang Yifan, he instructed his eldest son He Rongdao: "The horse is here to live, you go and do this!" ”

So saying, he handed the letter over.

He Rong listened, and while going to pick up the letter, he asked, "Dad, what is the big deal about this horse?" ”

"It's just that let's assign some suitable people to Xiangshan County to investigate those ruffians and hooligans."

Hearing his father's answer, He Rong didn't bother to read the letter, and said very disappointedly: "This colt is really, just this trivial thing, it seems like there is a big thing!" ”

Nanyang's affairs, his father arranged for his brother He Gui to do it. But he also wanted to do something big, and he was so disappointed.

But who knows, when He Zhen heard this, he suddenly said with a stern expression: "What do you know? That colt is really a capable person, and it can be seen at a glance that although these things are small, they will have a very bad impact on Xiangshan County, which has gathered a large number of people in a short period of time. That's why he attaches so much importance to it. ”

Speaking of this, he paused, and continued to say seriously: "Moreover, the fact that the colt can leave this matter to our He family to do means that he is beginning to trust us." Therefore, this thing must be done well and beautifully, understand? ”

He Rong saw that his father was so serious, although he still didn't understand it, but he knew that his father would definitely not be wrong, so he immediately responded: "Got it, Dad, I will personally arrange this matter, and I will never embarrass the He family!" ”

The He family is the head snake of Guangdong, and they have all kinds of people in their hands, and if they really want to do this seriously, they are absolutely sure.

……………………

On the other hand, Fang Keqin, the governor of Guangzhou Prefecture, also received a letter from Zhang Yifan, asking him to deploy manpower to assist Xiangshan County in cracking down, just like the He family.

After a year and a half, Fang Keqin had already secured the position of the governor of Guangzhou Prefecture and already knew about Guangzhou Prefecture, so he immediately deployed relevant manpower and sent it to Xiangshan County.

Here in Xiangshan County, the matter of Zheng Baolu County Ya beating the drum seems to be a small stone thrown into the pond, but when it is thrown down, it ripples a little, and then it regains its calm.

No one realized that behind this calm and calm situation, Zhang Yifan mobilized how much force was being prepared, and even the officials of the county government didn't know.

Half a month later, the net was suddenly closed.

Qi Xiang's sergeant of Qianhu blocked all the main transportation routes, and the people sent by the Yamen of Guangzhou Prefecture and the people sent by the He family of Dongguan started at the same time, basically mixed up the society in Xiangshan County, including petty theft, and arrested 7788, and after interrogation, they arrested some of the people who slipped through the net.

It only took two days to almost wipe out all the people in Xiangshan County, and a total of nearly 400 people were arrested, including the group that deceived Zheng Baolu in the first place.

What is a little surprising is that about a quarter of these arrested prisoners are natives of Xiangshan County. There are indeed two of them, and they are still working in the county government.

In other places, these things in Xiangshan County are actually not called things at all. As a result, I didn't expect that Xiangshan County would attach so much importance here, which surprised everyone.

Zhang Yifan still used the old method to try these prisoners publicly, and a bitter master like Zheng Baolu came to the stage to complain, telling the situation after being robbed, which resonated with many people!

Don't just look at the stolen and robbed of a little money, you know, this money is likely to be someone else's hope!

Under the public trial, it is the easiest to resonate. After all, these things are trivial things on the surface, but when they are implemented by individuals, they are not trivial.

All of a sudden, the people applauded Xiangshan County's "making a big fuss" this time.

Subsequently, Zhang Yifan made a verdict, and all those with household registration in Xiangshan County were dismissed, and all of them were sentenced to exile in Liaodong. It will only be implemented after reporting to the father-in-law for approval.

In addition, Zhang San, the classic historian of public security, neglected his duties, failed to fulfill his duties, fought twenty battles, and confiscated year-end bonuses.

Immediately afterwards, Zhang Yifan took this opportunity to rectify the market by the way.

In Xiangshan County, all transactions that are dishonest and counterfeit, no matter who they are, are severely punished, and the kind of punishment will cause the store to close down and people to go to prison.

If it were somewhere else, there might be a powerful proprietor standing behind each store, and even if the government wanted to take care of it, it would have to weigh who was covering it.

However, in Xiangshan County, this situation does not exist, and all of them are treated equally.

Don't say that there is no strong in Xiangshan County, even if it is a businessman from other places, no matter how big the background is, can he still have the previous Yongjiahou Da?

As long as he is in Xiangshan County, Zhang Yifan is the biggest, and whoever doesn't follow the rules will definitely clean up whoever he is!

At the beginning, some people were worried about Zhang Yifan's approach, such as Fang Keqin, the governor of Guangzhou Prefecture.

He was Zhu Yuanzhang who specially sent him over to be the prefect for Zhang Yifan's side.

Therefore, he wrote to remind Zhang Yifan, saying that such a method is likely to make outsiders afraid to do business in Xiangshan County, and mess up the current good momentum of Xiangshan County.

In this regard, Zhang Yifan just replied to him with two words: Look!

It was Zhu Jingjing who made a joke on Zhang Yifan, which made Zhang Yifan hesitate.

Zhu Jingjing said that if Xiangshan County is close to Jingshi, it is so prosperous, maybe her relatives such as brothers and brothers will come to open a store, if there is a problem, how will Zhang Yifan deal with it?

Iron-faced selflessness is easier said than done, but it's not easy to do it!

However, if the vassal king violates the law, he still has to be judged by his father-in-law, and it is not Zhang Yifan's turn to take care of this matter. However, if their subordinates violated the law and discipline in Zhang Yifan's territory, he would definitely not be able to tolerate it.

Putting aside this hypothetical thing, what Zhang Yifan is going to do next is what he suggested to his father-in-law.
