Fang Zian continued: "Everyone, the reason why I have spoken out these words today is not to find fault with you. I just want to tell you that I can let go of the past, because it is for others.

Under the rule, I can't control it. But now that I have taken over the yamen, I will never allow the atmosphere of the yamen to be so bad. Therefore, I want you to understand a few things. First, from today on,

Anyone who commits the unworthy acts mentioned by me above will not be tolerated by me and will be severely punished in accordance with military law and court laws. If you are lucky and refuse to change your character, you can give it a try. I promise

If you seek benevolence and be benevolent, those who deserve to be killed will surely lose your heads, and those who deserve to be punished will surely lose your fortune."

"The second thing is about your responsibilities as a defense force. As far as I know, many of you are just waiting to die, free and undisciplined, and don't take your errands seriously at all. When it's time to put out the fire, you drink, gamble and sleep.

This situation must be changed due to long-term lack of training, low skills, and incompetence. I will announce the new Fangyu Army Yamen regulations and soldier code. From now on, anyone who violates the terms will be punished.

The corresponding punishment will never be lenient or merciful."

"The third thing is the adjustment of our military structure and the deployment of personnel. From now on, all tower commanders, captains, captains, captains, and deputy teams are being relieved of their duties on the spot, and I have drawn up a new appointment list. This is now announced in public. The transfers

Li Dalong and Lei Hu are the principal and deputy captains of the Yamen Commanding Army. You two assist me in managing all troops and horses, and are responsible for the discipline training of soldiers and horses in each station and firefighting. At the same time, an inspection team is formed, with Lei Hu as the captain, responsible for auditing the soldiers' conduct.

and behavior. If there is any mistake or negligence, just ask: Li Dalong, Lei Hu, do you two understand?"

Li Dalong and Lei Hu promised loudly and stood up to salute: "The two of us will definitely live up to your high expectations!"

Fang Zian said: "Okay, let's go into the lobby and sit down."

Li Dalong and Lei Hu entered the lobby amidst everyone's envious and jealous eyes, and sat down on the chairs. They were so excited that Lei Hu's mouth burst into laughter, but Li Dalong kept a serious expression, because he had actually already

I know about this appointment.

"...Appoint Wang Jin as the general manager of the Yamen. He will be responsible for all logistics matters such as the payment of soldiers, weapons and equipment together with the previous managers. Wang Jin, enter the lobby and take a seat." Fang Zian shouted.

Wang Jin was so shocked that he almost fainted. He happily agreed loudly and trotted into the lobby and sat down.

"Appoint...Chen Niu'er as the chief of the fire-watching tower in Qiantangmen, Sun Fushou as the chief of the fire-watching tower in Yongjinmen, Li Anping as the chief of the fire-watching tower in Zhonghebei District, and Yang Youcai as the chief of the fire-watching tower in Zhonghexia District.

, Su Da became the tower chief of the Beiguan Fire Watch Tower...Qian Debiao...Wu Ping...Wu Laoqi..." Fang Zian announced a series of appointment lists, more than 20 tower chiefs, and more than 80 fire submersible teams.

He announced the team roster one by one.

Some of the people whose names were read were pleasantly surprised, some were stunned, and some were doubtful. The others also kept making sounds of surprise. Many of them were the original tower commanders and captains. As the list of new appointments was announced,

After announcing the announcement, their faces became increasingly gloomy. Everyone finally understood that Mr. Fang had done a lot of research and preparations before this. No wonder Mr. Fang has been visiting various fire towers in the past few days to inspect and find people to chat with.

, is looking for a list of candidates. He has already made all preparations.

All were

Everyone whose name was called entered the lobby and took a seat. The originally empty lobby was now filled with more than a hundred new employees with excited faces.

"I have submitted the appointment of the above candidates to the Huozheng Yamen for approval. I will grant a letter of appointment. You all have to shoulder the important task of restoring the reputation of our Fangyu Army Yamen. I must warn you that if you do nothing or

If you are incompetent, I will immediately remove you from your post. If the soldiers in each tower team's respective jurisdiction do something that violates the law and you fail to fulfill your responsibilities of prevention or timely handling, I will pursue the case according to the circumstances.

I hope you all will take care of yourself." Fang Zian turned around and faced the yamen filled with people.

"Follow your orders!" everyone shouted in unison.

Fang Zian nodded, turned around, and looked at the murmuring and discussion, and the soldiers with different expressions continued to speak loudly.

"The above appointments take effect immediately, and all those who previously held the position are also dismissed on the spot. After the meeting, those who are dismissed must make a good handover and must not neglect it. Can any of you raise any objections?"

The crowd was silent, and Fang Zian was about to speak when suddenly a man with a pockmarked face stood up and said loudly: "Sir, I don't accept it. Didn't you say let's forget the past? How come we are exempted from our official positions? We have worked so hard to survive.

To this day, do you dismiss us when you say you want to dismiss us? We are also officially appointed, so why do you do this?"

"That's right, that's right, we don't accept it. Why should we be dismissed from our posts? We have done a good job, so we are dismissed like this? You are messing around, and we need an explanation."

"Yes, give me an explanation, or I'll quit. Let's go to the Huozheng Yamen to ask Mr. Zheng for comment."

The man raised his head, and immediately more than ten people stood up and started shouting and making noise.

Fang Zian nodded slowly, stared at the pockmarked man and said, "What's your name?"

The pockmarked man was also brave enough and said loudly: "I won't change my name, but I won't change my surname. My name is Zhao Sanjiu."

Fang Zian muttered the name Zhao Sanjiu, raised his head, thought for a while, and said in a deep voice: "Zhao Sanjiu... nicknamed Zhao Sanmazi, the head of the Beitumen Fire Watching Tower. Three years ago, the Beitumen area was

The gangster leader, is that you?"

The pock-marked man Zhao Sanjiu was stunned. He didn't expect Fang Zian to be so familiar with his details. He frowned and said, "It's me, so what?"

Fang Zian sneered and said: "Zhao Sanzi, I said to let bygones be bygones, but that means not to hold you accountable for what you did. I hope you can start a new life and give you a chance, but I didn't say that you will be exempted from your duties. I will give you a

This is an opportunity for you to take back what you said before."

Zhao Sanjiu was already dizzy. He scratched his neck and said, "What did I do? I worked hard with Mr. Xia. As soon as Mr. Xia died, you exempted us all. What does this mean? I don't give you an explanation.

We won’t agree to it.”

Fang Zian sneered and said, "Are you really unwilling to take it back?"

Zhao Sanjiu shouted: "Take back what? I don't understand."

Fang Zian nodded and shouted in a deep voice: "Li Dalong, Lei Hu, lead people to take Zhao Sanjiu."

Li Dalong and Lei Hu immediately rushed out, stepping on the gap between a group of people and rushed towards Zhao Sanjiu. Zhao Sanjiu shouted: "What are you doing? Even if you are an official, you can't take someone for no reason."

Fang Zian scolded: "You don't know how to live or die, don't you know what you have done? Last October?"

In March, there was a fire in the Chen family's mansion in Fengle Bridge. What did you do when you took people to put out the fire? You blackmailed the Chen family for fifty taels of silver before you were willing to put out the fire. Could it be that you have forgotten. On the thirteenth day of the winter last year, there was a fire on Anminfang East Street.

, a common people's house was looted by you, and afterwards you threatened others not to report it to the government, saying that the fire burned all the property. From last year to this year, you extorted more than 300 taels from the people, robbed countless properties during the fire, and even deducted money from your subordinates.

Soldiers' pay is more than twenty taels. Do you still have the nerve to say that I took people for no reason? I have investigated all these things clearly. I said to forget about it, you should be glad that you dare to jump out and make a noise.

Come up here and beat me hard."

Zhao Sanjiu was stunned and speechless. He was really taking a chance. He thought that Fang Zian had just arrived and it was impossible to know everything. These things were done before Fang Zian came, and they were done very secretly. Fang Zian would not know

He knew. But at this moment, he realized that he was completely wrong. He actually knew it clearly.

In the confusion, Li Dalong and Lei Hu had already dragged him out of the crowd. After Fang Zian gave the order, Li Dalong and Lei Hu took action themselves, took jujube sticks, knocked him to the ground, and beat him severely.

The wooden stick was so hard that after a violent beating, Zhao Sanjiu was beaten to pieces and his hip bones were almost broken. Fang Zian did not want to kill anyone, so he stopped the execution, but Zhao Sanjiu seemed to have been interrupted.

He collapsed on the ground and passed out like a mangy dog ​​with a backbone.

"You bitch, you are so shameless. Li Dalong first led people to ransack his home and search for stolen goods. Later, he sent the stolen goods to Huozheng Yamen for Mr. Zheng to deal with. Such things ruin the reputation of Huozheng Yamen.

That bitch, Mr. Zheng, let him live one more day and count it as his luck." Fang Zian shouted sternly.

"Yes!" Li Dalong promised loudly.

Fang Zian turned to the dozen or twenty guys who had just followed him and shouted in a deep voice: "Who else wants me to give him an explanation? Tell me your name, and I will give you an explanation."

Those who stood up had already secretly sat down, and no one dared to say another word.

Fang Zian reached out and took out a thick booklet from his arms, and said in a deep voice: "In the past ten days, I have done a lot of visits and collected evidence. I have recorded what some of you have done before.

Here. That's why I dare to say that I know everything you do. I give you face, but I don't want it. Spare your life, but I don't want it to be long, so I won't be polite. Everyone, listen to me.

I still say what I said, let bygones be bygones. But the premise is that you all behave honestly to me. Before, anyone who extorted people's property, robbed people's property, or deducted the wages of their brothers, after today, I will

I will give you a ten-day period of repentance. Within these ten days, anyone who takes the initiative to confess and return his property will not be held accountable, and will be treated equally in the future. After this ten-day period, this will be the fate of Zhao Sanjiu."

Those guys who had done bad things were scolding in their hearts, but they were not scolding Fang Zian, but Zhao Sanjiu and the people who made the fuss before. Originally, things had calmed down, but these sons of bitches kept making trouble.

Now it's okay, something big has happened. Seeing Zhao Sanjiu lying on the ground in a bloody state, these people were all frightened and didn't know what to do.

Not to mention the joy in the hearts of the other soldiers. Originally, Master Fang said that these people should be spared, but they were still murmuring in their hearts. Now it seems that the matter is not over, and the reckoning is coming. Some people applauded, and this time,
Chapter completed!
