Two hundred and thirty-eighth section remove the old cloth new (1)
Shen Ruiming successfully obtained the person from Du Wen, and Guangzhou was also constantly urging the elders of the Judicial Office to be in place, so he rushed over without further delay.
The Ministry of Justice also duly secured a place in Guangzhou. It was the Guangdong Patrol Censor Yamen of the Huifudong Buddhist Temple in the old time. After the liberation of Guangzhou, the Yamen was originally planned to be given to the Political Security Bureau, but Liang Xinhu went to find it. He contacted Liu Xiang and said that this Yamen was right at the junction of the two counties of Panyu in the South China Sea and was very suitable as the location of the court. So it was transferred to the Ministry of Justice. All the judicial departments in Guangdong are now concentrated here.
This place was originally the Xinzang Temple built in the Southern Han Dynasty. It was built by Liu Yan, the king of the Southern Han Dynasty, in response to the twenty-eight constellations in the sky. It was expanded into Longzang Temple in the Ming Dynasty and later changed to the Inspector's Office.
Shen Ruiming did not come to Guangzhou alone: he also brought his two life secretaries. When he was touring various places, the conditions were not good and he could not bring them with him. Now that he is stationed in Guangzhou for a long time, he naturally has to arrange a comfortable home. For this purpose, he also carried twenty-eight boxes of luggage with him.
At this moment, these luggages are piling up in the yard. People from the general affairs department of the city government are rushing to carry them. Shen Ruiming, like all the elders and naturalized citizens from Hainan, has a combination of accommodation and office. And the one he occupies is the patrolman's office. The courtyard where the censor lived.
It is quite ironic to say that Shen Ruiming stood in the main courtyard of the government office and looked up at the lobby: the Senate used illegal means to kidnap Gao Shunqin, the censor of the Ming Dynasty, and then occupied his government office for judicial activities. It's really dark humor to promote legal ideas to other subjects.
But he had no time to care about these things at the moment. Before he could even unpack his bag, Shen Ruiming received a notice from Liu Xiang asking him to attend a meeting.
"So anxious?" Shen Ruiming glanced at the notice and thought it was probably to prepare for the city's second public security strengthening campaign.
After the witchcraft case, it is urgent to deal with the Guandi Temple people, a cancerous tumor in Guangzhou's municipal government. These thousands of people are not engaged in production, and they all occupy one side. Although they have a slight effect on public security and municipal administration, they have a negative impact on urban order, street hygiene and even It is a huge hidden danger to the overall security.
In the past, the Guangzhou Municipal Government had an unstable foothold and limited grassroots execution capabilities. It could not move this group. Now that the police and civil affairs systems have begun to take shape, and the material conditions for shelter and resettlement are also available, Liu Xiang naturally can no longer tolerate the existence of such an "underground government" Moreover, the witchcraft case also fully demonstrates that such a bottom social group, which has no basic political demands and is completely profit-oriented, is extremely easy to be exploited politically, and its destructive power cannot be underestimated.
Logically speaking, taking in beggars and carrying out public security rectification are all administrative matters and have little to do with the judiciary. As for cases that need to be transferred to the judiciary, it is not too late to transfer them to the judiciary for processing. Calling him there so rudely is nothing more than It is necessary for the judiciary to do its job well as the “knife handler”.
Although some elders of the Ministry of Justice believe that the judiciary should be separated from the administration. They take care of their own affairs and I judge mine. They seem to be righteous, but in fact they are just their own little ones. Don't they just want to expand their power and not want to be restricted? In his view, there is no need to be so detailed at this stage, and working together to transform society is the top priority.
"Go and reply to Mayor Liu and say I will be there soon." Shen Ruiming circled the notice, handed it to the correspondent, looked after the maid a few times, and immediately left for the city hall.
In the confidential meeting room of the municipal government, Liu Xiang, Lin Moguang, Mu Min, Pan Jiexin... several elders of the Guangzhou local government were sitting around the table. Except for Zhang Yunmi, who served as the secretary of the meeting, the others were in charge of administration and police. The patriarchal leader of the work.
Liu Xiang first introduced Shen Ruiming, and the meeting got down to business.
As Shen Ruiming thought, the theme of this meeting was to eliminate the Guandi Temple personnel and shelter all beggars and refugees in Guangzhou.
"Comrades," Liu Xiang cleared his throat and said, "it has been more than half a year since we liberated Guangzhou. Now Guangzhou's social order has basically returned to stability, the city's renovation work has achieved initial results, and the implementation of the new currency is progressing steadily. Public security in the suburbs has also improved. It has improved significantly, and we now have a reasonably usable team of local cadres... It can be said that our work of taking over Guangzhou City has been basically completed. The first step is to be able to enter and stand up to this goal. Now it has been Achieved."
This was a cliche at the beginning, so of course there was no need for anyone to respond, but someone sent Shen Ruiming a copy of the "Compilation of Basic Situations in Guangzhou".
"Our next one, and one of the biggest problems we face, is the evil force that has been circulating in Guangzhou for a long time - the Guandi Temple people. Everyone knows a little bit about the ins and outs of this group. We also know that the recent witchcraft case is related to The connection with this group. The energy and activity of this beggar group is really quite big.”
From the riots that stormed the Hai Duong Guild Hall, to the Wang Da Niao case where the murderer has not yet been brought to justice, there are also countless unsolved cases of theft, abduction, intentional injury, fraud... many of which are related to the Guandi Temple people. Not only do they directly commit crimes, but they also serve as a protective umbrella and channel for various criminals to sell stolen goods. They have built an "underground kingdom" that is difficult for outsiders to understand and intervene, a place outside the law. This is very important for the Senate, which pursues grassroots governance. Intolerable.
"...Now, I would like to ask the comrades from the Municipal Bureau to introduce the specific situation of the Guandi Temple troops."
Mu Min stood up, holding a thick stack of materials in his hands. These materials were collected through social surveys around Guandi Temple in the past few months.
Although foreign beggars are considered to have joined the gang as long as they register at the Guandi Temple, these beggars and refugees are just peripheral low-level people. In addition to handing in "member money" every day, they are used by the big-bone beggar-headed drivers at all levels. Very little is known about the internal situation of the gang. And the real situation inside them is difficult for outsiders to explore. The big bones in charge of each gang are either hereditary, or they have been working for many years, relying on their own abilities to "harden" their way to the top. .The traditional method of sending undercover agents to collect intelligence inside the enemy is completely unworkable.
Mu Min could only resort to peripheral investigations. The focus of the investigation and questioning was on social groups that had more contact and deeper contacts with Guandi Temple people, especially subordinate officials in Guangzhou.
Because the Guandi Temple people are actually responsible for a lot of municipal and public security work, the subordinate officials not only have a lot of contact with the Guandi Temple people, but it is also common for them to collude and use each other, and they know a lot about the situation.
In order to launch the investigation, Mu Min's investigation team not only interviewed the retained subordinate officials, but also investigated the imprisoned and retired subordinate officials, and obtained a lot of materials.
In addition to these people, the beggars and big bones arrested in the raids on the Chaozhou Guild Hall and other public security purges are another important source of intelligence. Although there are not many big bones and key elements arrested, they provide the most valuable information.
first-hand information.
Over the past few months, the city police department has roughly grasped the situation of the Guandi Temple personnel.
Mu Min opened the picture board and began to introduce the specific situation of the Guandi Temple troops.
"It is impossible to know when the organization of Guandi Temple's people and horses originated. There is no written history of this organization. There is no record in the literati's notes or in the county annals of past dynasties. However, from our investigation of the subordinates, the elderly and the local citizens
, Jinshen, confirmed that this gang existed at least during the Longqing period.
"As for their origins, people from the Guandi Temple have a theory: Gao Tuantou's ancestor was a beggar. He studied under Taoist Zhou Dian in the late Yuan Dynasty. The old immortal Zhou traveled around the world barefoot in rags and helped Taizu to win the country.
Bi brushed off his clothes and left, but it was hard to find the trace of the fairy. There are many legends left behind, the most widely spread of which is that when Taizu conquered Chen Youliang, the ship sailed to Anqing. The wind was calm and the ship could not move forward. Zhou Dian sang "The world is peaceful". To Zhu Yuanzhang
He said, "When the boat started to run, the wind started to run." So Zhu Yuanzhang sent people to pull the boat with fibers, and immediately a strong wind blew up. After that, Zhou Dian sued, but Zhu Yuanzhang tried to persuade him to stay but failed. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, he went to Lushan Mountain to visit Zhou Dian's retreat.
Unable to succeed, I could only write the "Biography of Immortal Zhou Dian" and stay in Lushan to commemorate my old friend. Taizu loved his house and crow, so he wanted to make the ancestor of the Gao family a general. However, Immortal Zhou had long warned his disciples that there would be no three blessings in their lives without official status.
Taizu then gave him an imperial pole and made him the leader of the Guangzhou General Group. He established the General Headquarters at the Guandi Temple. Although this legend cannot be confirmed, it shows that the gang does have an official background."
Although beggars cause great harm, they lack sufficient discipline and political demands and will not pose a threat to the dynasty. All dynasties have adopted a laissez-faire attitude towards them. The backward and loose social management capabilities and weak economy of the old era were unable to deal with the phenomenon of beggars.
, and even relied on them in some aspects. Recognizing their legitimacy and using their power became the only way for governments in many medieval societies to control beggars.
"But their home base is not Guandi Temple, but Jinhua Temple..." Lin Baiguang said doubtfully.
"As for the origin of this name, it is said that the earliest location of the Guangzhou General Headquarters was an old Guandi Temple that was in disrepair. Later, the Jin gentry officials renovated the temple, and Doukou moved to the Jinhua Temple outside Xiguan." Mu Min said and revealed.
Opened the second diagram.
"We don't have the exact number of beggars currently registered in Guandi Temple. According to old officials in the yamen, prefecture and county yamen used to have special beggars' directories, and those who must be registered in them are considered official beggars. But everyone
Everyone knows that even the Ming Dynasty’s official household register is full of loopholes, let alone such a directory." Mu Min glanced at the document and said, "We have used various methods to speculate and estimate that the total number of people is about
Between 4,000 and 5,000 people. Among them are not only those who are poor and helpless, widowed, lonely, disabled... and others who are forced to become beggars, but there are also young and middle-aged people who are healthy, have sound limbs, and have the ability to work but are indolent and indolent."
