"Damn! Five hundred taels of silver a month, do you pay it or not!"

The big man took the case, and the three men behind him immediately made a fierce and vicious attitude, and the old bustard laughed again and again, secretly complaining in his heart, it turned out that Fengyulou collected three hundred taels of silver every month, and these few people who came out of the rivers and lakes opened their mouths to ask for five hundred taels, and they rose by two hundred all of a sudden. *With* Dream *Little* Say .lā@,

"Hero, hero, the shop relies on a few girls to accompany the guests, our small courtyard is not a big garden like Baiyi Garden, these five hundred taels of silver are too much, and the Xiao Da master of Fengyulou in the past only received three hundred taels, good man, good man, a little less, a little less. ”

The old bustard begged for mercy again and again, and the teapot Xiaoer couldn't stop begging for mercy on the side, his face was full of fear, and there was a mess outside the door, and several big men fell to the ground with a chirp, and the girls looked at them with fear.

"Xiao Da is in charge, our brother will turn around and leave, isn't his old man gone now. The big man slapped his palm on the table, and the thick camphor wood table cracked in response, and the old bustard was startled.

"Don't talk nonsense! Give or don't give!"

"Give! give!" The old bustard didn't dare to insist anymore, and agreed repeatedly.

The big man was a little satisfied, and several men behind him also smiled.

In the alley, two groups of men holding knives and forks, staring nervously at the two men in the middle, one of the two men held a knife, the other held a short gun, the two of them exchanged knives and guns, tossing and turning, and the fight was very fierce.

"Hmm!" "Hmm!"

The man with the knife and the man with the gun snorted separately, the two of them swished apart, both of them were wounded, a blood mark appeared on the cheek of the man with the knife, and a piece of flesh was cut off from the left shoulder of the man with the gun, which made him grin.

"Damn! Sun Laosan! Lao Tzu is not finished with you!" The man with the gun covered his shoulders and scolded, and a somewhat obscene man behind him came up to bandage him, he pushed the lewd man away, regardless of the blood on his shoulder, raised his gun and pointed at the knife-wielding man and scolded.

"The surname is Duan! You have to let out this Kaisheng gambling house, and the master will spare your life today! Otherwise, don't blame the master when you get down, we Jianghu people eat this bowl of rice, and we can only blame ourselves for not being good at learning skills!" The man with the knife did not move, and said in a good time.

"Fuck your mother's ass!" This gambling house is what our brothers bought with their lives! Who wants it! Swap their lives for it!" the man with the gun cursed and waved his hand behind him: "Brothers!

After shouting, he waved his gun and rushed up, and the man behind him screamed and rushed up, and the two groups of people mixed together in the blink of an eye.

For Jingzhao Yin Chen Xuan, this period of time was a house leak that happened to rain overnight.

In the past few days, more than a dozen murders have occurred, and the death toll has reached more than 20 people, and it is not known how many people have been injured, but there are no people who have reported the case, and no one has come out to identify the body.

Of course, Chen Xuan knew what kind of weapon fight this was, this kind of fighting in the rivers and lakes, as long as it did not hurt ordinary people, both sides would not report the case, and the government simply pretended to issue a notice to recognize the corpse, and then after a while, in the name of the nameless corpse, the case was eliminated, and the corpse was pulled out and buried.

But it can't be done that way now.

In the past few days, the imperial court has impeached him more and more, all accusing him of ineffective management of the security of the imperial capital, which has led to the collapse of public order in the imperial capital.

In the face of the sudden impeachment, Chen Xuan was a little confused, he had been Jing Zhaoyin for almost ten years, and he was deeply trusted by the first emperor, and he also used this as a battle, punishing many people and offending many people, but in the Shilin government and the opposition, his reputation was not bad, and even praised a little more.

When he took over Jing Zhao Yin, he knew that this was the most difficult official position in the whole world, Jing Zhao Yin was not of high grade, but his position was extremely important, and his authority was also heavy, not only in charge of various things in the imperial capital, but also in charge of the city guards, in addition to a huge number of head catchers, Jing Zhao Yin Yamen's head catchers are probably the most in all the county governments in the world, the total number is as high as more than 400 people, usually patrol inside and outside the city, each head catcher commander has twelve heads, each head catcher has nine heads under the head, and the four head catchers are all directly under the jurisdiction of the Hu Cao army under the Jingzhao Mansion。

In the face of waves of impeachment, Chen Xuan defended himself on the one hand, strictly ordered Hu Cao to join the army and scatter all the arrests quickly, and on the other hand, he demanded that the city guards be used to patrol inside and outside the city, but this move was vetoed by Shang Shutai, believing that the matter had not yet reached the point of using the city guards.

"My lord, there is no way to do this," Yuan Suo saw that Chen Xuan was a little worried, so he persuaded: "As soon as this wind and rain building falls, it is equivalent to lifting the town demon tower, and all the demons and monsters have not come out, my lord, the people below have gone out, but it can be said that we have four hundred catches quickly, but in fact we only have three hundred and fifty-two people, how many people are in this imperial capital, there are 100,000 in the city, and these more than 300 people are sprinkled down, like pepper noodles, that can be seen!"

Chen Xuan smiled bitterly in his heart, he didn't think of this, so he asked to use the city guards, but Shang Shutai princes, did these people mean to see their jokes?!

This thought took root in his heart for the rest of his life.

"Your Excellency!"

A middle-aged man came in from outside the door, the man was powerful, wearing a soap-colored brocade robe, and thin-soled fast boots under his feet.

"What's going on today?" asked Yuan Suo eagerly.

"Three dead. The middle-aged man replied dullly, Yuan Suo's expression darkened, and he was about to wave his hand to let him go down, Chen Xuan frowned and asked, "Why are there three again, what happened there?"

"Two are in the south of the city, and one is in the Chenghuang Temple in the west of the city," the middle-aged man said: "The Chenghuang Temple is the second of the five ghosts known as the Chenghuang, and one of the two in the south of the city is the incense master of the Sanjiang Society." ”

"Sanjianghui? Didn't you hide?" Yuan Suo was a little puzzled, but also a little curious, he was born in the original family of Runan, the original family was not a scholar, only a civilian class, mixed in the imperial capital for several years, it was easy to get mixed into a petty official, and later Chen Xuan appreciated it, and was promoted to Hucao to join the army. In the position of Hu Cao joining the army, he has been working for five or six years, and he is very clear about the situation in the imperial capital.

During this time, a lot of things happened around the wind and rain building, including the vicious fight that happened in Shilipu a few days ago, this vicious fight was transmitted to Jingzhao Mansion in the middle of the night, Chen Xuan immediately asked him to take people out of the city to check, he and the two total catchers and four catchers and more than 30 catchers rushed to Shilipu, and when they saw the scene, they knew what was going on, so a few people didn't care, collected the corpses at the scene, transported them back to the city, issued a notice, and it was over.

Unexpectedly, there were still many officials in the restaurant and teahouse not far from the scene of the fight at that time, and these officials were probably frightened, and the next day they vented their anger on Chen Xuan, and they played together to impeach Chen Xuan.

As an official who was picked up by Chen Xuan, Yuan Suo was naturally grateful to him, and without waiting for Chen Xuan's order, he asked all the arresters to patrol the streets and maintain law and order, but to his surprise, murders happened one after another, and the security of the imperial capital collapsed overnight.

"My lord, I inquired about it," the middle-aged man said calmly: "The Sanjiang Society is hiding, but the Sanjiang Society is still expanding, after the wind and rain building Xiao Yu does not know what to do, the Sanjiang Society will expand rapidly in the south of the city, accounting for most of the south of the city, in addition, the Flying Eagle Hall in the north of the city is also expanding, as well as the east of the city." ”

Speaking of which, Chen Xuan was already impatient, he knew these things, his Jing Zhaoyin was not the kind of person who played the piano and cultivated it, but actually did it, what happened to the imperial capital, he would not know!!

"Mr. Zhao, is there a way to make these quiet?" Chen Xuan asked gloomily.

Mr. Zhao's name is Zhao Han, and his cultivation is profound, ranking first among the four chief catchers.

Zhao Han shook his head after a little contemplation, and replied directly: "Back to my lord, there is no way, unless the city guards are used, we have too few people." ”

After a pause, Zhao Han whispered: "It's not completely impossible. ”

Chen Xuan's eyes lit up, he raised his head and motioned for him to continue, Zhao Han lowered his voice and said: "It wasn't so messy before, it was because there was a wind and rain building, but now there is no wind and rain building, and these fish, shrimp and crabs below have all come out, my lord, since this is the case, just support a new wind and rain building to come out, and the matter will be solved." ”

Yuan Suo immediately understood that this was a good idea, so he looked at Chen Xuan, Chen Xuan frowned and thought about it, this matter is very dirty, Jingzhao Mansion is an official government after all, and the official government can't manage it, so he has to borrow the power of the rivers and lakes, this has to be passed out, and he must not be drowned by the saliva of the old masters in Shilin.

But is there any other way to do this?

Unless the city guards are used, the city guards can be used, will the court agree?

Seeing that Chen Xuan was silent, Yuan Suo glanced at Zhao Han, and Zhao Han turned around and went out.

"My lord, I see that this strategy is feasible," Yuan Suo said in a low voice: "My lord, even if you use the city guards, the soldiers of the city guards may not be able to manage them, but on the contrary, if you use the city guards, you will be uneasy inside and outside the court." ”

"Support, what kind of support method?" Chen Xuan's expression was very bitter.

"We can not support one, support four," Yuan Suo said in a low voice: "Why did the palace demolish the wind and rain building, the reason is very simple, Xiao Yu's power is too big, he has already monopolized the imperial capital, and there are tens of thousands of people under him, which can't cause the palace to worry, so let's support four, one each in the east of the city, west of the city, south of the city, and north of the city." Then he called the four of them together, told them to do their part, and the matter settled down. ”

"How long will this take?" Chen Xuan asked, vaguely feeling that the time given to him by the imperial court would not be too long.

"Ten days, the humble promise is to get things done within ten days. ”

"Ten days?" Chen Xuan was slightly disappointed, according to today's standards, thirty people will die in ten days, and I don't know how many will be injured.

"My lord, ten days is already a very fast time. Yuan Suo explained: "In the past ten days, the lord has played to the imperial court, in order to maintain law and order, all the unemployed people will be driven out of the imperial capital, and those heroes and heroes will be cleaned up and rectified. ”

Chen Xuan was silent for a while, Yuan Suo didn't interrupt him, but there was a little anxiety in his expression.

"Okay, let's do it, but, five days, no more than seven days," Chen Xuan said categorically: "The matter must be settled." ”

"Yes, my lord!" replied Yuan Suo in a deep voice.

Chen Xuan didn't ask what to do, but just gave a time limit, and the meaning was very clear.

Now that everything is his original request, Chen Xuan will not ask again, no matter what means are taken, within seven days, the security of the imperial capital will be restored.
