The naughty Fourth Prince spent a peaceful day at the Outer City Public School, but the capital was not at peace.
Zhu Tingfang certainly did not just whip and punish those local thugs for the fruit that smashed Hong Shanchang's head. He knew that Shuntian Prefecture Yin Qin Guogong Zhang Chuan had also written a letter to apologize, so he met with him yesterday evening. So starting early this morning, Wucheng Bingmasi and Shuntian Prefecture Yamen once again joined forces to carry out a garbage sorting and cleaning activity.
After the first day of cleanup, the former underground tycoons were invited to the Xinglong Tea House... The northwest wind was blowing at the door! Even though the weather had warmed up in the past few days, the heat of the day had subsided when the sun was setting, and the chill of the night had arrived early. Even though the former bigwigs were wrapped up tightly, they were still cold and timid.
However, no one dared to speak or rub their hands and stamp their feet. If Zhu Tingfang's first few actions as a new official had shown the ruthlessness of the head of the Five Cities Military Department, then the heads of the revived flower-fighting gangs hanging at the city gate today told them that this was not just a warning to others, but perhaps another major cleanup.
Not to mention, there was also the Duke of Qin who used to be quiet on the second floor! What on earth was the emperor thinking, to actually pull out all these former nobles and put them in the most important positions in the capital!
Whether they didn't understand or were panicked, it didn't help their situation at all. Even though some people were frozen and had runny noses, they could only stand there obediently, praying to the gods and Buddhas in their hearts, hoping that they could bless them to get through this safely. Finally, a group of "big shots" who used to call the shots heard a sound like heavenly music.
"My Lord Yin and Lord Zhu have already agreed that from now on, if anyone causes any trouble in the capital, unless they are able to prove that they are alone, the Wucheng Military Department and Shuntian Prefecture will follow the clues and investigate this line. We will be sorry then. Just like the four people who were paraded through the streets after being punished today..."
"The man above them, Hai Lao San, who used to be a big shot in the capital, is now even worse off than them! He committed crimes under the emperor's feet, and there is no way to control him. So what's the point of keeping him around? He might as well be exiled to Gansu to cultivate the land!"
At this moment, the group of bigwigs who just felt that the weather was too cold and their feet were almost frozen suddenly became silent. In the past, they might have been respectful to the head of the prison, Lin Lao Hu, who spoke in front of them, and did some small things in private, but now they even forgot to mutter in their hearts.
With one order, Master Hai, who used to have hundreds of subordinates in the inner city and was able to collect money from various actions, was uprooted just like that? Exiled to Gansu, that is the northwest, not to mention the strong wind and sand in certain weather conditions, and if the northern barbarians attack, whether you can escape or not really depends on luck!
Therefore, everyone looked at each other, and as the first person rushed to swear and express his determination, the others also hurriedly promised that they would definitely keep a good eye on their subordinates and would definitely keep an eye on the thieves on the streets... In short, these bosses who were cruel and ruthless in the past seemed to be planning to turn over a new leaf and become good people.
