Chapter 1059: Retaliation

Zhou Sanqiang, because he is the third in his family, is known in the Jianghu as Zhou Sanlang. Of course, those who mix in the Jianghu also need a prefix that can be called out, such as the Filial and Righteous Black Sanlang, the timely rain, etc., the nicknames of those in the Water Margin.

But it's a pity that this Zhou Sanlang can't compare to Black Sanlang, and didn't mix out a prefix nickname. Mainly because he didn't mix well enough, and secondarily because he didn't do human things.

There is a contempt chain in the hooligan circle, such as not bullying women and children, not bullying the poor, etc. At this time, some hooligans also have persistence.

Or to put it another way, to a certain extent, this is the "correctness" in the hooligan circle. Acting for heaven, robbing the rich and helping the poor, etc., are all "legitimate" reasons for hooligan gangs.

Even if it's not done that way, it must be packaged that way. Even if no one thinks so, if someone does it, they have to say "admire, admire."

This Zhou Sanlang specializes in opening casinos. People who come to play have small wealth and poor people. He lends people high-interest loans, relying on his many dog-legged men, and also relying on having some connections in the official face, so he forces debts and asks for money, and beating people is light. If anyone's wife or child is beautiful, he always has to touch it. Then he sells them to others, as slaves and maids, or sells them to the brothels.

For such a player, people can't think of what nickname to crown him, so they can only call him Sanlang Sanlang. Fortunately, although Sanlang is relatively crazy, he knows that he can't be too crazy when mixing in Tokyo. So he didn't shamelessly take a nickname for himself.

The sun is three poles high, just like in the past, Zhou Sanqiang, who had been drinking and reveling all night, woke up in the brothel. He pushed the beautiful prostitute hanging on his body to the side. The latter didn't care about Zhou Sanqiang's rudeness, just turned to the side and continued to sleep soundly.

Zhou Sanqiang put on his clothes loosely, yawned, and went out.

Just after arriving outside, he saw more than ten catchers with complete martial arts equipment standing loosely in various places at the door. He didn't care, and naturally didn't find that this group of people blocked various positions at the door, all of which were places where they could help within two steps. On the periphery, there were two people with crossbows hanging from their waists.

He scanned the circle, and didn't avoid others looking at him. He just happened to find that the ten-man catcher who led the team was someone he knew, so he greeted him with a smile.

"Chen Tou, what are you doing?"

His attitude was casual, completely ignoring others, and went straight to the Chen surname catcher.

The Chen surname catcher was called by this person, and he was panicked, waving his hand in a hurry: "Take him down, take him down, hurry, hurry, hurry."

As the words fell, before Zhou Sanqiang reacted, a group of people quickly surrounded him and captured him, tied him up tightly with ropes, and roughly blocked his mouth with a rag snatched from the waiter in the brothel.

Everything happened too fast, Zhou Sanqiang didn't even react, and he was already tied up. He struggled hard with "woo woo woo," wanting to distinguish clearly.

Immediately after, his stomach was punched by the Chen surname catcher, which made him show his blue veins, and his eyes bulged, as if they were about to explode.

The Chen surname catcher spat and scolded: "Damn thief, what kind of grade, dare to get close to me. Take him away, take him away, don't let the Inspector wait too long. I tell you, don't chew your tongue when you go back, I don't know this dog-fart Zhou Sanqiang."

"Chen Tou, don't worry, the Inspector has already explained. It doesn't matter if you know him, as long as you don't leak the news or let people run away."

"Can I not know? But the Inspector's momentum is too great, I, Old Chen, tremble when I see him. Was the previous judge prestigious? He incited us to find trouble with the Inspector, but in the end, he ran away in a gray way. I heard that he looked for a circle of relationships, and no one helped him. If he ran slowly, it is said that the first one of our brothers to confiscate would be his home.

And the few commanders before, they were not beating or scolding us in the past, but what about now? Now they are all waiting to go to the northwest. It is not easy to stay, and the Inspector is generous. If you are implicated because of such a thing, it is really the eighth generation of bad luck. Damn, talkative."

The Chen catcher was still not relieved, and kicked Zhou Sanqiang again, waving his hand impatiently, "Take him away, take him away, go back and condition him well first."

At the same time, teams of catchers caught the account room, caught the thugs, caught Zhou Sanqiang's family, and none of them ran away.

This is the important role of catchers. They can really find the people they want to find quickly and accurately in a city with a population of one million. Hooligans and yellow are unstoppable. This is due to the difference in people. There are always people who are lazy, and there are always people who want to bully others a little bit to make themselves live better.

That afternoon, Wang Yan saw the hooligan leader who was beaten all over with bruises, swollen nose and bruised face, and it was difficult to open his eyes, and the red saliva hanging from the corner of his mouth was miserable.

Wang Yan carried his hands on his back, looked at the surrounding environment, turned his head and said to the new judge who followed him: "Draw a sum of money, this dungeon needs to be repaired well. As for the manpower, use these people who were caught, and find the craftsmen of the Jiangzuo Supervisor to come over to guide and supervise."

"Yes, Inspector, I will arrange it tomorrow."

Nodded, Wang Yan asked: "Where is the account book?"

"Dog official, see how long you can be rampant."

"When I was in Hangzhou, there was a jailer who specialized in torture. He had a sharp knife and a pair of steady hands. That year, there was a big household surnamed Liu who participated in gathering crowds to rebel and kill officials, and was also involved in selling military contraband. This big household surnamed Liu had hard bones, died without opening his mouth, refused to explain, scolded my ancestors for eighteen generations, and wished to bite me to death.

At that time, the jailer said that he could use a knife to slice the skin and flesh until he saw the bone. He said that what he sought was to slice the person until only the skeleton remained, and the person would not die. This official asked him to show it, and he saw that his arm was like a butcher dismembering an ox, and it only left white bones in a moment.

The skin and flesh taken were roasted on an iron pot, which was extremely fresh and fragrant. I wanted to call the big household surnamed Liu to eat it himself, but I didn't expect him to be scared to fly, and he confessed everything. The skin and flesh were not easy to discard, and finally had to be fed to the dogs. This official was shocked, thinking that this act hurt the harmony of heaven, so I didn't use it easily."

Wang Yan shook his head and sighed, and beckoned to the jailer who was holding torture tools and leaning against the corner of the wall carefully, "He San'er, you come and try, shave his hand first, practice your craftsmanship well, as long as you practice and pass it on to your descendants, it will be enough for your family to not be full for several generations."

"Hey, okay, Inspector, look at it, my knife is not dull."

"Don't come over, don't come over... ah..." Zhou Sanqiang struggled in fear, and finally, when the cold touch of the knife fell on his hand, he said loudly, "I said, I said everything, the account book is in the dark grid on the side of the beam in my house..."

He San stopped his hand with some regret and looked back at Wang Yan.

"It's already at this point, isn't it like a knife?" Wang Yan scolded with a smile, and waved his hand casually, "Move a knife, you find the feeling first, the thinner the better."

He San turned his head and patted Zhou Sanqiang's face: "Don't move, if this knife is not sliced well, I will slice the second knife..."

Zhou Sanqiang still peed. He was still a tough guy, otherwise he wouldn't have been beaten for so long without recruiting the account book. But the knife now is not a knife. Because he suffered this knife, his brain thought of his hand being shaved into a skeleton, which was too scary...

However, Zhou Sanqiang's pain was ignored by anyone, and people looked at He San'er who was concentrating on using the knife. Even Wang Yan was very surprised. There was nothing else, his hand was very steady, and the meat sliced was really thin. Sure enough, even if the Great Song is not good, it is true that talents come out in large numbers on this land.

As He San finished the possibly meaningful first knife activity in his life with an unfinished look, Zhou Sanqiang finally confessed in detail, fearing that there would be any omissions, and then he would be sliced two knives, and even fed to the dogs in front of him, or even let him eat it himself.

From the beginning of peeking at the widow taking a bath when he was a child, to how he made his first bucket of gold, how many people he persecuted over the years, where the massive printing money he lent out came from, as well as the brothels he cooperated with, and the partners in the slave market.

However, what surprised Wang Yan was that Zhou Sanqiang also confessed new situations.

Wang Yan frowned slightly and asked: "How much do you know about the Wuyou Cave you just mentioned?"

"Grandpa, the little one really doesn't know. It's just that I sold a few beautiful women to them. I didn't know at the time. Later, I heard the middleman tell me that they came from below. Jianghu legend says that the Wuyou Cave is unfathomable, right under our feet, with roads in all directions, no one leading, and you can never get out if you go in.

Inside are all characters who have committed big things, all of them are ruthless people who don't blink when killing, hiding from the government's pursuit below. They opened casinos and brothels inside, which are more beautiful than those on the ground. I heard that it is extremely prosperous inside, and it is a golden underground kingdom."

Wang Yan sneered, a dog-fart underground kingdom.

People often hold the greatest degree of beautiful fantasy about places they don't understand.

The soil nest dug out underground, with the current technical level, how good can it be? Ventilation can be solved, the soil smell can be covered, lighting can also rely on candles, plus various mirror reflections, creating a dim and ambiguous hazy, but the dampness underground, snakes, insects, rats, and ants, as well as the damage to the building, etc., these are not easy to solve. Comprehensively, it is definitely not as good as said.

It is true that it hides dirt and dirt. Businesses such as human trafficking, killers, gambling, etc., will definitely have them. After all, they always have to make money and live. But to say that dignitaries all go to the underground to enjoy, that is impossible.

If it really developed to that extent, even if the underground passage is complicated and like a maze, the Imperial Guard can also fill it flat.

No longer paying attention, letting people continue to interrogate, Wang Yan went back to continue selecting people. More than 500 people, just catching one Zhou Sanqiang is a waste. Now that the ox knife is tested, it is natural to use manpower more reasonably.

In this action, Wang Yan also roughly understood the ability of each person and made a more detailed manpower arrangement. More than 500 people were divided into three groups. One group was responsible for confirming the location of personnel, the second group was only responsible for catching people according to the places provided by the first group, and the third group was specifically responsible for confiscating homes.

In order to carry out a wider range of activities, Wang Yan enabled a large number of helpers. Implement a guarantee system, one person leads one person, whether it is a small hooligan who hasn't made a name for himself on the street, or someone's family, or relatives, as long as they are reliable, they can be brought over to do things. And promised that in the future, the team will be expanded, and these people will be selected first. Those who are not selected can also act as helpers and have money to take.

Wang Yan's move can be said to have completely abandoned the past helpers, and at the same time improved the status of the helpers. Making the helpers no longer the original temporary workers, but upgraded to extra-budgetary contract workers. Relatively speaking, it has improved stability and reliability. Having a rice bowl and not having a rice bowl are two concepts for the importance of work...

He has this authority. As long as he doesn't reach out to Kaifeng Prefecture for money outside the plan, then this is his power.

Although the manpower Wang Yan can mobilize is not much, it can't be called a strict strike in any case, but it has also formed an atmosphere of strict strike. Even if only his Left Inspection Institute is relatively strict, it has also caused the wind and cranes in the entire Bianjing City.

After all, I hear every day which relatively awesome hooligan leader was caught, the home was confiscated, and even the hooligan leader's wife appeared on the government matching list. Whoever wants to do bad things has to tremble.

Wang Yan didn't care about anything. For a whole month, he spent it in catching people. The prison of the Left Inspection Institute was full early, for which Wang Yan forcibly requisitioned the prison of the Right Inspection Institute.

The law division and private recording counselor of Kaifeng Prefecture have recently handled all the things pulled out by Wang Yan, and they are busy from morning to night every day. After all, the inspection institute does not care about the aftermath work. People are caught, the problems are interrogated, and the rest are all the things of the law division. They have to find the relevant victims, carry out sentencing, form a certain evidence chain, form an official document, and most importantly, go to the Dali Temple and the Secretariat.

These are secondary, the key is that Wang Yan also compensates the victims, and others can't occupy a point. More importantly, the people caught by Wang Yan, confiscating homes are all done by themselves, and this big head can't be touched by others. More importantly, it's okay not to touch it, and Wang Yan has to handle them.

Because many official officials and some big households in the city are involved, Wang Yan is very impolite. For high-level ones, he directly wrote an official document to Lu Gongchuo, and for low-level ones, he went to the door to catch them and confiscated their homes directly. Then form an official document and report it to Lu Gongchuo.

To say respect, Wang Yan privately handled officials. To say disrespect, Wang Yan also sent official documents to Lu Gongchuo, and a lot of money confiscated was handed over to the government office. This up and down, making Lu Gongchuo very difficult.

At the same time, the capital has become chaotic.

It is not a civil riot, but an official riot.

The hooligans on the street were caught by Wang Yan until they were silent. The people's life has improved a lot recently. They have trouble going to Kaifeng Prefecture to complain, and it is one by one. Because the Left Inspection Institute specially sent people to wait at the yamen door, the people said what kind of person and what kind of thing, and within an hour, people were caught.

If it is a dispute between ordinary and ordinary people, it is okay to say, if any hooligans appear, then don't think about it, the lightest is three months of labor. This is discussed with the Kaifeng Prefecture mention, that is, the second-in-command, the Kaifeng Prefecture boundary counties and towns. The second-in-command manages engineering, and he provides some people who eat little and drink little, and it doesn't matter if some die.

Under such circumstances, how can the people be chaotic?

It is also because Wang Yan has taken action against officials and some big households with relatively strong strength in the city. Even if he didn't target the highest level, the medium-level gangs are already very powerful and implicated a lot. These medium-level big households and officials pulled out can find backers later.

Everyone knows Wang Yan's mode of doing things. It is absolutely not satisfied with only catching small shrimps. After all, when Wang Yan was in Hangzhou, he started by doing top-level big households. After all, not everyone can be a grain merchant, and not everyone can cooperate with the government to sell grain in the constant-level granary.

So they know very clearly that after Wang Yan catches the medium-sized criminal gangs, he will definitely take action against those at the highest level. Even Wang Yan has a large amount of evidence in his hands now, but he just doesn't catch it, just wants to play with them.

They certainly can't sit still and wait for death, so someone participated in the court meeting that Wang Yan was not qualified to participate in, and participated in Sheng Hong, his brother-in-law's Kang family, and his wife's Wang family.

Their sense of proportion is very good. They didn't say anything else, just said that the three families all released printing money. This was dragged to Wang Yan, saying that he was not upright, and could not hold the important position of Left Inspector...

During the court, Zhao Zhen ordered people to call Wang Yan to the inner palace, and after the court, he directly questioned the Secretariat.

Wang Yan didn't panic, arched his hands, and smiled: "Why is the Emperor angry? This minister sees that the Emperor's face is ruddy, and his body is much better than when he saw the Emperor last time. I think the Emperor used this minister's method? This minister is bold, please let this minister take a look. A little thing is not worth the Emperor's anger, the dragon body is important."

Before Zhao Zhen could speak, Pang Ji smiled and took the words: "Why, is this Inspector Wang trying to blur it?"

Wang Yan raised his eyebrows and replied: "Prime Minister Pang is joking. This matter has nothing to do with this official. I married the Sheng family daughter, and it has only been three years. Father-in-law Sheng Hong has always been cautious and handled things properly, and the Sheng family is not short of money. The matter of printing money must be done privately by the mother-in-law. To say something disrespectful, it is just short-sighted. According to this official's understanding of the mother-in-law, she must have been bewitched by others.

The bewitching person must be the mother's family Wang family, and her sister Kang Wang family. As far as I know, Wang and Kang are both restless, holding on to the high gate, not thinking about serving the country, and specializing in living with the country. However, the children in the family are not competitive, and no one can be a high official, but they have some old relationships. So they make things difficult for the people and earn some money to maintain a luxurious life.

This official thinks that a special person can be sent to supervise and find out the situation. My mother-in-law's matter will definitely not be shielded. The fine will be paid by this official, and the mother-in-law will be asked to close the door and reflect."

"If so, why not let you, the iron-faced and selfless Inspector Wang, supervise?"

"This official will definitely be iron-faced and selfless."

Playing this set with me? Wang Yan glanced at the man, arched his hands directly to Zhao Zhen, and said, "Emperor, this minister reports Zhou Kongmu for lax management and seeking personal gain. His son hired thieves in the city last year to force the people's daughters to be defiled on the street, and insulted them to death. Afterwards, it was the Kaifeng Prefecture Law Division's main official who suppressed it. It is said that he held Zhou Kongmu's post.

The Secretariat's hook-up Kongmu main official is an important minister of the country. Being so ignorant of the laws of the country and disregarding the court's discipline is truly heinous and does not deserve to be in this position. It should be confiscated, dismissed, and exiled for two thousand miles."

The Kongmu room is an affiliated department of the Secretariat, similar to the Secretariat, doing document work. The main official is naturally similar to the Secretariat's big secretary, a proper big official.

"Emperor, Wang Yan framed..." The Zhou surname Kongmu flew out directly, knelt on the ground, and shouted grievances, wanting to defend himself.

Wang Yan interrupted louder: "What this official said is true, the witnesses include the thieves who handled the affairs at the time, the parents of the people's daughter, the petty officials in the hall, the petty officials who passed the letter, and the white bones of the people's daughter. Now that the matter is revealed, do you dare to speak nonsense in front of the Emperor? Such a thief, also worthy of holding the power of my Great Song? Emperor, this minister requests to kill this unfaithful, unrighteous, dishonest, and un-ministerial national thief."

He not only had a loud voice, but his demeanor was also in place, and his tone was even more indignant. It seemed that if this person was not handled, the Great Song would be finished.

"Wang Yan! You..."

"Enough." Zhao Zhen waved his hand tiredly, glanced at the man, and said to Wang Yan, "Isn't Minister Wang going to take a look for me? Just right, also take a look at whether the body-strengthening kung fu I practiced is correct, and I heard that you have a better set? Just tell me by the way."

"This minister obeys the order." Wang Yan arched his hands and followed Zhao Zhen away, leaving only the people with different thoughts in the Secretariat, and the Zhou surname Kongmu who was sitting on the ground in a daze...

Zhao Zhen carried his hands on his back, stomping his square steps slowly, Wang Yan fell one step behind, swaying together. The eunuchs behind were far away.

"Does Minister Wang know what the priority of the country is?"

"Back to the Emperor, the priority is stability."

"Since you know, why are you so urgent in your actions? Minister Wang, you haven't hung your phase yet..."

Zhao Zhen spoke earnestly, but the meaning of the words was very heavy.

"This is the responsibility of the Inspector, not this minister's overstepping. Since this official took office, the number of lawsuits and punishments in Kaifeng Prefecture has decreased day by day, and it has decreased by 40% so far. The people in the city live and work in peace and contentment, and they clap their hands and applaud the net-street tigers who have disappeared from the street. And this official confiscated money, fields, shops, etc., totaling 200,000 guan. This official thinks that the people are stable, and the country is stable."

"200,000 guan?" Zhao Zhen stopped and looked at Wang Yan in surprise.

"Exactly. This official has only caught six organized bandit strong beams so far, plus the implicated officials and big households."

Wang Yan was not surprised by Zhao Zhen's shock. They didn't dare to handle big households, and the people rebelled every day. Where did he know what it meant to hide wealth among the people.

In the first year of Huangyou, the annual income was less than 5 million guan. Wang Yan hadn't exerted much effort this month. What he mastered were high-quality assets, which could be realized quickly. Saying 200,000 guan was a bit low-key.

Of course, if he killed all the big households and made no one take over, that would be another matter.

Looking at Zhao Zhen's flickering eyes, Wang Yan said: "Emperor, there are many illegal families in the city. This official thinks that if they are all confiscated, I am afraid that there will be tens of millions of guan. Today's matter, this official knows that it is a guilty conscience for others to be afraid of me checking them. Emperor, rest assured, this official can find the evidence of those people tomorrow, and will definitely bring these rats to justice. My Great Song has raised scholars for a hundred years, why worry about no one to be an official?

This official knows that the Emperor is worried about the instability of the official heart, but the people's heart is stable, why should the Emperor worry? Such a thing that both eliminates national thieves and contributes annual income to the country, why not do it, Emperor..."

Zhao Zhen glanced at Wang Yan, who was full of sincerity, and turned to continue walking slowly: "Minister Wang should take a good look for me. Recently, I really feel that my body is much more comfortable, but there is still some discomfort."

"Emperor, I'm afraid you didn't follow this minister's instructions. According to this official's observation, the Emperor's sexual intercourse has been frequent recently."

"Cough cough... Minister Wang..." ===== CHAPTER 1060 =====
