Two hundred and sixty-ninth festival melon vine copy
No one noticed that there were two people dressed as migrant workers in a nearby secluded alley, looking at them coldly.
"It seems that Shi Weng's spell didn't work." A migrant worker who looked like he was carrying a big bag at the dock looked at the person opposite and said, "It's only been a long time, and the plague is over without killing many people. This so-called evil magic of yours
It’s of no use at all.”
"Don't you see how much trouble this plague has caused for Kun Thief." The man who looked like a porter opposite raised his eyes and glared, "Just because this shop has been closed down so many times, and it lasts for several months, Kun Thief will have to make a lot less money.
?Is it possible that your Majesty still thinks that we can only talk empty words?"
"You can save these words and ask for credit in front of Shi Weng." The man carrying the big bag smiled contemptuously, "If you want to say empty words, they are really empty words. You think this plague is caused by you and the Taoist priests put some evil spirits in the Liumai Canal.
What's causing trouble? I'll tell you the truth, this is the plague! The thieves imported furs from Liaodong without knowing anything about life and death. The plague was brought in from the furs - it has nothing to do with the messy digging of graves you made.
.”
"If there hadn't been the mage invited by Shi Weng..."
"Don't talk about that mage - I don't think he can live long. The Australians are going to pull him out and show him to the public and have him tried and sentenced publicly. I'm afraid there will be a lot of heads in Guangzhou."
As the migrant worker slowly took out a box of "Big Production" from his arms, he touched the matches and said: "The guard against thieves is getting tighter every day, and I'm afraid there will be no chance of using these dirty tricks again. Only
I can use my brain more on the thief Kun’s money..."
"Are you talking about counterfeiting money?"
The migrant worker chuckled, blew out a smoke ring, and said: "I really don't know what to say about Shi Weng. What's wrong is that I have to make counterfeit coins. Let me advise you first on behalf of Mr. Paul, you can make counterfeit coins."
Not coming……"
The porter looked dissatisfied and sneered: "In that case, I still need to ask sir for some advice. What brains does this thief have in his money?"
"Mr. Paul is not good at this matter, but there are people in Ming Dynasty who are. Please ask Shi Weng to ask Lao Xier from Shanxi House for more advice."
He wanted to say something else, but when he looked up, he saw several patrolmen dragging their batons in the direction of the alley. He shook his head, quickly handed a wax ball in his hand to the porter, and left with his head lowered. The porter looked at him.
With a flick of his back, he lowered his head and lit up a "big production" stick. After taking a few puffs, he picked up the stick and walked out of the alley.
After the martial law was lifted, the entire city government immediately started working at full speed: there were too many things that had accumulated. There were several important things before Liu Xiang: the conclusion of the witchcraft case; the civil service examination that had to be postponed because of the plague;
The second public security campaign...
Because the witchcraft case itself is deeply involved with the Guandi Temple Troops, and the Guandi Temple Troops, as an evil force that has been entrenched in Guangzhou for many years, are actually inextricably linked to many other criminal and public security cases. Yes.
It is said that it actually plays the role of the general backend for various criminal elements in Guangzhou.
When Shen Ruiming and others were sorting through the case files, they found that there were many intertwined parts. Many interrogation records involved Guandi Temple personnel.
"It's not like pulling out carrots to bring out mud, it's like pulling out peanuts..." Shen Ruiming flipped through the case file and made marks from time to time with red and blue pencils.
"Pull peanuts?" Zhang Yunmi, who was helping him organize the case files, asked, tilting his head.
"Have you ever seen peanuts being pulled out of the ground? No, right? When that thing is pulled out, there are many peanuts hanging on it, and sometimes the vines extend very deep and far." Shen Ruiming pointed to the case file, "So It’s really rare for a case to affect the whole body.”
"Didn't you work as a lawyer before? You should be well-informed."
Shen Ruiming thought to himself that I am a lawyer and I don't work in the procuratorate. I really have no chance to see this kind of "nested case".
One name will be involved in multiple cases, and one case will be involved in many names, just like countless spider webs intertwined over and over again. Some cases even involve the past many years ago and involve the society. All aspects.
After discussion, the elders of Guangzhou decided to start with the witchcraft case, dig deep into the people of Guandi Temple, and use this case to completely conduct a "spring cleaning" of Guangzhou at the social level.
Guangzhou is the first big city that the Senate entered. Before entering the city, the reputation of the Senate was nothing more than a group of reputable merchants/pirates. After raising the flag of rebellion, they became rebellious officials and traitors. The witchcraft case was completely fought over by the Senate. A great opportunity for the people of Guangdong.
Cases of harvesting and mutilation, abduction and trafficking of women and children, mainly harm the middle and lower class civilians in the city. Public anger is great, and the harm is widespread. It seriously affects social stability. A thorough investigation of this case will not only eliminate harm to the people, but also win the support of the urban class. A good starting point. The Senate has won the hearts and minds of the people. Any gang that wants to cause trouble in Guangzhou City is water without a source and a tree without roots.
Through the investigation of the case, we will concentrate our efforts and mobilize the masses to completely solve the influence of the Guandi Temple people. Especially through the interrogation of the Guandi Temple people, we will clean up many old cases in the past and further win the hearts and minds of the people.
Through the investigation of the witchcraft case and the Guandi Temple troops, we dug into the background and dealt with a group of non-violent and non-cooperative gentry.
Finally, using the sensational effect of the case, the disaster was diverted to the north, and the beneficiaries of harvesting and harvesting were pointed at the vassal kings, eunuchs, and the Ming emperor. Anyway, it is a historical fact that the emperors of the Ming Dynasty loved alchemy, and Jiajing was almost strangled to death by a palace maid. , these black materials in the Hongwan Case completely brought down the orthodoxy of the Ming Dynasty and put it completely against the people.
Liu Xiang instructed the propaganda department to write a special book on the case. The more horrifying the relevant reports, the better. They should add physical evidence and use the cheat method of photos to hold a traveling exhibition. The more fearful the people are, the more horrifying the case itself can be through publicity. The fear and hatred were transferred to the Ming Dynasty regime. The root cause of these murders was the decadent and backward society, and they took the opportunity to speed up the progress of social transformation. The Senate took this opportunity to completely gain a foothold in Guangdong.
The police department began working around the clock. Because there were too many prisoners to be interrogated, the interrogation venue was moved from the city to the Ming Army barracks in East Campus. The shackled prisoners were escorted here in batches.
Originally, the Zaoban yamen officers from one prefecture and two counties in Guangzhou, whether retained or retired, were recruited according to the roster. Under the command of the cadres of the pre-trial section of the police station, interrogations were conducted day and night in thirteen divisions. In the evening, at the door,
A bonfire was lit in front.
The prisoners arrested in various cases, the big bones and backbone members of the Guandi Temple people, were first stripped naked and put on the rack to be flogged, and then they were hung up for torture. In the past, the government officials in Zaoban showed off one by one.
Mentally, tortured to extract confessions, the fingers and sticks creaked, screams, moans and roars echoed with the sound of the wind, like a sledgehammer, pounding heavily on the wealthy gentry households from Donggao Avenue to Yuanyun Street from Dadongmen
their hearts.
People who fainted under severe torture were dragged to the school grounds, smoked with straw fire to wake them up, and then given strong drinks or allowed to regain their consciousness. When their bodies could no longer withstand the torture, medical treatment was provided.
The personnel treated them to prevent them from dying.
The content of the interrogation is based on the clues that have been grasped so far. Since entering the city, various departments have grasped many similar clues in handling various matters, especially in the customs industry rectification case and the production and cutting case.
A large number of clues appeared, but either lacked evidence or had no substantive content, making it impossible to conduct detailed verification. This time, after Shen Ruiming sorted them out, they were all brought out for questioning.
The interrogation is based on the principle of "copying". As long as the confessions obtained during the interrogation involve clues to other cases, they will be sorted out immediately and handed over to relevant personnel for continued interrogation. Liu Xiang's instructions are "investigate one clue after another."
, until there is no more confession!”
After several days and nights of interrogation, more and more people have been implicated. Case files recording confessions have been piled up. The investigators are constantly sorting out the clues of these confessions and sorting out specific clues.
Soon they discovered the first useful clue to an old case.
This case was the case that He Xi personally came to Mu Min to complain a few months ago. The director of Wenlan Academy set up a trap for Wang Xiucai.
This matter was ordered by Mo Rongxin, which was identified by He Xi herself, but her words alone obviously could not convict her. During this interrogation, the whole story was unexpectedly learned from a large bone of the Guandi Temple troops.
It turned out that Mo Rongxin entrusted this matter to Gao Tianshi and spent 500 taels of silver. Gao Tianshi asked his men to find a few swindlers who specialized in gambling to hook up with Wang Xiucai in gambling, and also got a prostitute.
The prodigal son seduced He Xi.
That is to say, when a specific person's name was involved, a summons was immediately issued to arrest several gamblers and wandering boys. Each person was given forty bucks and everything was "remembered".
"Mu Ju, do you want to arrest Mo Rongxin?" Someone came to ask for instructions.
"No need for the moment, we will monitor him first. If we find any signs of him leaving Guangzhou, we will arrest him immediately." Mu Min looked at a row of shelves beside the wall. The shelves were divided into cells, and there were words written under each cell.
There are small wooden signs with names of people, and there are more or less pieces of paper inserted into these grids. Each piece of paper has a file index number - they are all cases related to it.
In Mo Rongxin's grid, papers have piled up, at least thirty or forty pieces. There are also many in the grid of the other Master Zhong Ai - the white gloves of these two wealthy gentrymen in Guangzhou have indeed been dyed.
It has to turn black.
Mu Min knew that Mo Rongxin could not escape. However, there were some people whose boxes were still empty. Especially Liu Xiang hoped to catch key evidence, or at least a clue that could open a gap - the eldest son of the Liang family
