Drunk holding an iron ruler is called Fenglei, and Yudilun called for two times.

When there is no ghost in the world, he still roars into Xitai.

"Chongxu Servant Wang Wenqing's Portrait"

—I am the dividing line —

At the same time as the last round of summons in Qinzhengwu's building, a team that temporarily responded and assembled from multiple directions on the street at the same time surrounded a little-known Taoist temple located in Lezhengfang, southwest of the city. .

And the only thing they have in common as the mobile units that belong to the Beijing Control Committee is that they have just been deployed from Xiangyang, Jiangling, Guangling, Jiangning and other places, and have no direct involvement or relationship with the capital.

Afterwards, members of the patrol team and the temporary street leader of the town went to call the door, just as they negotiated a few words with Dao Tong and others in the door; many hooks and assembled portable long ladders have been set up. After the backyard of the gymnasium and the wall on the side, it became a figure vying to get in.

The fierce exclamations and shouts, fighting, collisions, and smashing sounds suddenly sounded in the next moment, breaking the original purity. It turned into roars and screams, and then followed the rapid sound of firecrackers, and then turned into screams and screams, and the dull crash of falling from the eaves through the roof of the tile.

Immediately afterwards, fire and heavy smoke rose from the Sanqing Pavilion and other buildings in the backyard; then a few black figures were found on the upper floor of the pavilion, and they were knocked out by the broken windows one after another, and they were on the gray-brown tile roof. He ran and jumped, seeing his hands swiftly and quickly dodge the firecrackers that smashed the tiles behind him, and jumped out of the wall.

However, in the next moment, these gray-headed people and so on, they saw a large swath of raw ashes splashed on their faces, and a few large nets that followed faintly. then. While holding their breath and closing their eyes, they rushed out to the left and right sides, but they were also unconsciously covered by the big net, and rolled down and entangled in a ball on the spot.

Some people drew short knives to cut, but they did not prevent that the big nets were made from brown hemp and sisal hemp. The ordinary blades went on their own and they kept splitting their consciousness. Instead, they got close to the pierced fork and nailed them through. They screamed after getting rid of their hands and feet, and they all succeeded in catching them.

Not long after, the fireworks in the Taoist Temple were extinguished this time, and the copied objects were piled up in the courtyard. But this was just the beginning. It was just a moment after the completion of the Taoist temple. With the continuous gathering of reinforcement squads, they were divided into several teams and set off again.

In the following time, they raided and searched a high-quality shop, a hostel, and three private houses in different locations in the nearby city. In addition to one private house that was emptied, another one was taken initiatively. Except for arson and fierce resistance, almost all other places were found.

Then these raided teams, following the latest clues, gathered one after another on the ruins where Qujiang/Furong Garden was located in the south of the city. At this time, the noise they made in the city could not be covered up, and it was inevitable that some rumors and rumors were born.

The two regiments who were ordered to mobilize and mobilize from the Qixia Gate and Yanxing Gate nearby also surrounded this place, which covers 30 hectares and 17 li in Zhouhui, from the inside out. At the same time, they also temporarily arranged a boat to swim and search on the Yellow Canal leading to Duling Town outside the city.

Therefore, while the various special reconnaissance teams of the Upper Management Committee were searching the ruins in the Qujiang Furong Garden step by step; in the water surface of the Yellow Canal outside the city near the moat, they also found and intercepted them one after another. Several suspicious people who are swimming and fleeing are waiting.

After a few more moments, the dragnet-style search team was near the Water City Hall in Furong Garden. Along the messy traces of the escape, they found an underdrain channel near the Yellow Canal that flows under the city wall. It was inconspicuous at all. Rift.

From this point, the crack that seems to have fallen into disrepair for a long time can be carried into the waterway of the Yellow Canal by holding a floating bag or treading water on its own, and there is still enough space for normal breathing from the surface of the water. Since then, the biggest secret tunnel that sneaked into Chang'an from outside the city has come to light.

At the same time, there were also prohibited materials hidden under the ruins of the Furong Garden Palace, among the rocks and rocks covered with weeds; they also included hundreds of swords, bows and crossbows, and even a few. Three-eyed blunderbuss and horn blunderbuss that are outdated.

But the matter is not over yet. The connections and clues triggered by this secret passage into the city point to a number of underground gangs in the city that privately resell and traffic, and the upper management club restricts and controls materials.

Among them, the identities used as a cover on the surface are different. There are seemingly ordinary houses and highly mobile traffickers, and there are also designated small temples or normal businesses and shops. There is even a lower class. Prostitution.

Although in most cases, it is far from the original target, after the elimination of these illegal groups that took the opportunity to suck blood and profit, it also caused the order and economic activities between some abandoned cities in the city to be in a short period of time. The time has improved greatly.

However, the aftermath of the unstoppable and ensuing is the internal inventory of the Taiping Army's subordinates in the Chang'an Upper Management Committee. Therefore, during the morning meal after dawn the next day, Zhou Huaian, who was drinking chicken congee with cheese cake, got the first batch of urgent list.

"Even eleven people were involved in the initial investigation, and one was a low-level official of the Control Committee?"

Zhou Huaian slowly savored the sweet and delicious taste of chestnut rice soaked in chicken juice and sighed:

"It's only been a few months! The Huahua World in the capital can corrupt people in this way, or the treatment given to them by the Taiping Army is too low; so much so that these squad camps have to resort to methods in order to be able to do so. To maintain decency and pomp?"

"The Lord's Mingjian, these are just a few black sheep who stand upright, and most of them are those who have been used in the past."

One of the committee members of the Anti-Rebellion Committee in Beijing who was in charge of submitting the list, Gui Hou said softly:

"Most of the foreign commissioners and officials transferred from the Supervisory Office still stick to their original intentions, and they are not in the same way. Especially between the garrisons of the various ministries, the incoming and outgoing exchanges are very clean."

"You don't have to solve the problems in disguise for those in the upper management committee..."

Zhou Huaian shook his head and said:

"After all, I have been slack and negligent. I always feel that the world is set to let Nanshan go and sit back and relax. If it weren't for the thorough investigation of the assassin, these people still don't know how long it will be exposed. ..."

"According to my order, we should increase the review and removal of the former employees!"

Zhou Huaian just thought about it, and then took out a two-handed way to compensate for the leakage:

"At the same time, before the eighth-level officials are promoted to chief officials, and the eleventh-level officials are transferred to regents, the establishment of a social relationship declaration system has begun."

The degree of corruption that accompanies the establishment and operation of a regime is a long-term problem that can hardly be avoided in the history of development and evolution of any civilization and national power in ancient and modern China and foreign countries.

Because, as long as there is the operation of power and the flow of resources, it is inevitable that all kinds of problems and malpractices will be born due to the deviation of man-made positions and selfishness, and the truly selfless and self-interested people in the world are only a rare minority.

Moreover, it is often linked to the administrative efficiency and timing operation costs of the government in various eras; therefore, in the context of the feudal era, the practice of successive dynasties was to abandon the bottom of society beyond their capabilities to a vibrant society in disguise. Organize/have powerful households to release water and raise fish in exchange for low-cost and wasteful execution.

Therefore, as the foresight of later generations of modern people, Zhou Huai'an can only use a relatively reasonable structure of mutual checks and balances and a relatively advanced system to ensure that it can continue to mowing the grass to kill the signs of corruption. And control at a relatively acceptable critical point.

Then, there was another private investigation report presented by Liu Bailu, a special representative of Shanghai from the Ministry of Social Mediation, as a confirmation; it seemed even more unpleasant;

Because according to the above description and confession, there are still so many potential anti-thief suspicions or signs of dissatisfaction in Chang'an City, which seems to be peaceful and peaceful now.

Seeing the many crimes and evidence of these words and deeds, Zhou Huai'an suddenly understood and realized why the Huang Chao regime after occupying Chang'an at the beginning could cause waves of cleansing and killings. The so-called is full of "I always feel that someone wants to harm me." "Plots of persecution delusions and suspicion.

However, the internal purge carried out by the Taiping Army is one thing, and it is another thing to expand the scope of liquidation and purge outside among the civilians. After all, it would be too much to just rely on words to sin or to talk about the heart.

Not to mention, it is easy to be infinitely amplified by people and lose control, and even become a tool for factional invasion and political struggle. That's just

Therefore, Zhou Huai'an suppressed this article and kept it from posting for the time being, and the instructions demanded that more evidence be added to observe the situation, and then he continued to ask:

"Now that the situation in the city has been stirred up, are there new clues about the assassin's suspicion and deeds?"

"The fourth and seventh teams responsible for the investigation have already had some clues... However, in order to prevent the grass and startling snakes, they have taken turns to guard them, waiting for more flaws and deeds..."

Liu Bailu quickly replied:

"In this case, the temporary team formed by you alone still has some shortcomings. It needs the cooperation of people from the local market and the salt farmers to be safe..."

Zhou Huaian thought for a while and said:

"Allow you to recruit informing collaborators who are certainly not too bad as a peripheral, and then mobilize some professional personnel from the south to take the opportunity to take over and control the gray areas such as ghost markets and prostitutes in Chang'an City..."

"promise..."

Liu Bailu quickly replied:

At this time, there was another announcement from the outside world:

"The senior member of the upper management committee came to see you..."

"He is extremely well informed!"

Zhou Huaian couldn't help sighing:

As one of the chiefs of the Taiping Army’s outreach in Chang’an, Gao Yu is now a member of the Upper Management Committee who specializes in economic and reproductive affairs. Among the officials who committed the crime, the highest rank was one of his former ministries and protégés.

"Let's talk, did he bring anyone else?"

Zhou Huaian asked again:

"Back to the king, there is indeed such a person, he is the former Grand Master of the Beijing Normal University, now the leader of the Guanzhong Guild Hall, Jiuhu..."

When waiting outside, he replied:

Zhou Huaian felt hesitant in his heart. This was obviously another stakeholder, because this time one of the officials involved was from the background of the nephew of the great master of the capital. (End of this chapter)
