Chapter 50 Wait and See
In this world, ordinary people are under the jurisdiction of the village head, who is equivalent to the director of the street office and can handle most of the small disputes. Further up is the local yamen, which basically controls all aspects of ordinary people's lives.
In the eyes of the common people, Xuanqingwei belongs to a terrifying and dangerous department higher than the yamen. Aren't people who can deal with such horrible things as evil not fierce enough?
The yamen alone makes the common people feel superior, let alone Xuan Qingwei?
The common people in other places are fine, because they may not be able to see Xuan Qingwei's black robe once a year. But to the common people in Licheng, Xuan Qingwei was just a butcher knife with a cold light beside him.
Not long ago, this butcher knife beheaded hundreds of people.
So when it comes to Xuanqingwei, the people of Licheng are more in awe than people in other places. Because for them, the blood on Xuan Qingwei's sword was visible and audible.
But now, Xuan Qingwei, who is so frightening, actually put up a copper cabinet on the street, and wants to collect "reporting letters" from everyone? !
Whether it was the strange-looking copper cabinet or the "report letter" that no one had heard of, people who read the notice were horrified.
According to the notice, anyone can post a "report letter" into the copper cabinet, and a "report letter" is a letter of denunciation. The target of the denunciation can be someone in the yamen, or even someone in Xuanqingwei. Whether the reported matter is corruption or bribery or unjust, false or wrongly decided cases, as long as it is unfair, as long as it is something that cannot be done in a normal way, a "report letter" can be delivered to the copper cabinet.
To use a sentence in the notice, it is: the reporting mailbox is Guochao listening to the real voice of the people.
On the first day, the ten copper cabinets ignited the chatterbox of the entire Licheng. From the officials and high-ranking officials in Licheng to the traffickers and pawns, the copper cabinets and the notice were the most talked about by everyone.
"This old man has lived for sixty-one years, and this kind of notice urging people to commit crimes will still be heard!"
"How can it be regarded as the following criminals? Are you illiterate? Reporting, reporting and exposing, it is Guochao who made us ordinary people avenge their grievances!"
"Wake up! Are you going to seek justice? The people sued the officials, and the case is closed, but you have to hit 30 boards first. Do you think the following crimes are empty words?"
"Tsk tsk, didn't you read the signature of the notice? It was written by the Black Flag Camp! It was the Black Flag Camp that brought down the traitor Li's family before. Do you think the notice they issued was a joke? Besides, in the notice Having said that, reports can be made anonymously, so what are you afraid of?"
"Anyway, the old man thinks this is unreliable, anyone who is not afraid can try it."
"There must be people who try."
On the first day the copper cabinet was set up, no one dared to try it.
First, I was worried about the unwritten rule that the old man said just now, "the following offends the superior". Secondly, there are too many onlookers, even if someone wants to report it, it is not good to deliver the report letter in front of so many people.
It was not until the third day that the first report letter appeared.
When the report letter was placed on Shen Hao's desk, it was already the fourth day after the copper cabinet was set up.
"Here is a perverted merchant Jia Hengshun named Wang's family who bribed the chief official of the Licheng Yamen with more than five hundred thousand taels of silver."
Shen Hao clicked through the thousands of words of the report letter in his hand, then raised his head and asked Wang Jian who was standing in front of him: "Who wrote this? The writing is very good!"
"Hey, Zongqi, this is a letter received from Cabinet No. 9. According to the secret sentinel there, the person who sent the letter was a man with a painted face, but they followed it back and found that it was a guest from the adjutant's house. I guess the words on it It must have been written by the adjutant chief writer."
"Hmph, the bullshit thing really popped up first."
There are definitely more bad things in the local yamen than in Xuanqingwei. The distribution of various powers alone involves countless open and secret fights. Shen Hao has heard about these things for a long time, and it is also the reason why he has kept away from local officials for so many years, because there are too many troubles.
But now the first report letter received in the report mailbox was this kind of bad thing in the yamen, which made Shen Hao angry and funny.
"It's really funny. But my lord, according to some information listed in this report letter, the credibility is actually very high. Would you like to send someone to follow?"
"What's the matter? We don't have enough people? And we just need to know about these bad things in the local area. It's not appropriate to intervene in the past. After all, it's not appropriate for our Black Flag Camp to put our hands in other people's pockets and provoke hatred. "
"Then what kind of cases do we mainly handle?" Wang Jian has been a little dazed for the past two days, and he can't understand the confusing behavior of his own headquarters.
"Don't worry, in a few days, after the news of the copper cabinet spreads, there will definitely be a suitable case. Now your task is to let me keep an eye on everyone who delivered a report letter to the copper cabinet .”
"Please don't worry, General Banner. I have found more than 20 idle homeless people according to your instructions, and I will stare at the ten copper cabinets every day. No one will notice, let alone cause trouble."
"Well, the matter of homeless people can be taken a step further, and they can be given some simple training, such as stalking, following, hiding and so on. You should catch this matter yourself and keep it secret."
"Good general flag. In addition, the manpower you have drawn out has almost been trained individually. Do you think it is time to start recruiting people?"
Shen Hao put down the pen in his hand, raised his head and asked with a smile, "Did Zhang Liao ask you to ask?"
"Hey, I knew I couldn't hide it from you, Zhang Liao was a little anxious to wait."
Except for Wang Jian who dared to say these words to Shen Hao in the entire Black Flag camp, no one else dared to say such words at all.
Shen Hao smiled and said: "You are the one who is catching up on the expansion of recruitment. Do you think they can recruit people?"
"It's ok. Zhang Liao has been a small banner officer before, and he has experience in these things, and the people I assigned him are also veterans. If you recruit newcomers and train for half a month, you should be able to form a combat force."
"Okay, if you think the time is right, then post the recruitment notice. It's still the old rule, people are selected from unrooted and unreliable casual cultivators, and you don't want to recruit any of the noble children, but leave me seven If there is a shortage of wrestlers, the school order will leave one for me."
"Good flag."
Wang Jian gave him a look of "I understand", then turned around and went to Ann to give orders.
In terms of "sensibility", Wang Jian is more than a little bit stronger than Zhang Liao Han Xin, and his brain is so lively that Shen Hao doesn't need to explain many things at all.
In the afternoon of the same day, Wang Jian reported to Tang Qingyuan's office that the Black Flag camp was going to expand to recruit a small flag camp, and the latter immediately approved it. The Black Flag Battalion was already in a state of severe lack of personnel, and Tang Qingyuan had no reason to disagree.
Afterwards, the news spread that the Black Flag Battalion was going to select personnel from the Xuanqingwei Reserve and the garrison troops in various cities. Unlike the last time when the black flag battalion was established and wanted to recruit people, Wang Jian received more than 100 notes in just half a day, all of which were self-recommendations.
