The Ming Dynasty’s Prodigal Son - Chapter 1570

[1570. Chapter 1491 No one can escape]

. The fundamental problem lies in professionalism.

To put it bluntly, most of the current imperial censors and Dali Temple are scholars named on the Golden List. They have read the Four Books and Five Classics for half a lifetime, entered the Hanlin Academy, and then entered the Imperial Academy or Dali Temple.

They may not even know the so-called laws better than the petty officials.

In this case, then simply introduce a new trend, recruit a group of young people, conduct professional training, and let them take charge of these things.

The various Beijing police agencies do not interfere with each other. You search for your evidence, and they search for his.

Once you have enough evidence, submit it directly to the Beijing envoy.

There are thirteen people in the Beijing Inspectorate. To put it bluntly, they are there to support these little Beijing Inspectors.

Although in the end the emperor could not be spared.

But at least… in the past, the supervision of officials was just based on the so-called impeachment of the censor, but now… it has begun to become more formalized.

Emperor Hongzhi probably read the charter and then raised his head: “Can this be done in a foolproof manner?”

Obviously, Emperor Hongzhi took this matter very seriously.

Fang Jifan said: “Your Majesty, it is difficult to be foolproof. It is said that people’s hearts are separated from each other. The most difficult thing in the world to distinguish is loyalty and traitor.”

Emperor Hongzhi frowned and said, “So, it seems to be of no use?”

“It is useful. “Fang Jifan said with confidence: “As far as I know, many officials are unscrupulous and bully the people as a daily routine, even if it is a dog in their family, they will be so rampant. I can guarantee that they will never be greedy for money, and I can’t guarantee that they will not engage in malpractice for personal gain, but… it can make them restrain themselves a lot.”

Emperor Hongzhi’s eyes widened: “Huh?”

Fang Jifan nodded and said: “As the saying goes, the devil is as high as the Taoist. In the past, because they had no scruples, even a small official could openly and openly pull people on the street to ask for money. But after supervision, they may still It’s just that the method of greed is not so rough. It’s the same for junior officials, and it’s the same for high officials. Nothing can be accomplished overnight, and it doesn’t take a day to freeze three feet. If you expect your Majesty to issue a decree, you can. Eliminating all the evils is a bit taken for granted.”

Fang Jifan paused and then said: “If your son is a small businessman, he will be directly asked for property by petty officials every day, even if he is wronged. , It only depends on the mood of the parents and officials, I will give them a beating first, what will I think?”

“But because of the shock, the junior officials do not dare to be so blatant, maybe… they will only do it if someone asks them to take care of them. Dare to ask for some benefits covertly, and secretly convey some benefits to others. If they encounter a lawsuit, although their parents are in a bad mood, they still have some scruples. Even if they are partial to the criminals in their hearts, they dare not go too far. Maintaining fairness in society, isn’t this a huge improvement for the common people?”

Emperor Hongzhi listened to Fang Jifan’s analysis very seriously, his eyes gradually brightened, and he felt like he suddenly realized: “There is some truth, I think. You can’t eliminate all evils, but you can eliminate the most evil ones, and let those who do evil things get severe punishment. Only in this way can people restrain themselves. Every step of the way is as high as the devil. This is a good saying. I didn’t expect you to know how to treat it. A big country is like cooking a small dish.”

Fang Jifan chuckled and said: “Your Majesty is generous and kind, practices frugality, is not immoral, and is diligent in political affairs, attaches great importance to justice, and is open-minded. Not only that, he also drives out traitors and is diligent in political affairs. , work hard to govern… How can it be that I am not enlightened by learning beside His Majesty?”

Emperor Hongzhi frowned: “I know that even if it is to do this, it will not be easy, and there will inevitably be a lot of resistance when the time comes, and the succession of the vassal… …I’m very worried about you.”

Fang Jifan said calmly: “This matter will benefit the country and the people of the world. I will do my best. As for resistance, of course there will be resistance. It is even possible that I will encounter it. The revenge of countless people is nothing…”

Emperor Hongzhi lowered his head, glanced at the charter again, and couldn’t help but said: “There is Chen Tianjin here? This person…didn’t he object just now…”

Fang Jifan said: ” Mr. Chen just talks about the matter. His noble character has always been respected by his sons and ministers. Public is public and private is private. Privately, his sons and ministers admire him very much. It seems that such an upright person like him became the imperial envoy. Only then can this happen naturally.

Emperor Hongzhi couldn’t help but sigh with approval in his eyes, “I didn’t expect that you have such a big heart.

“

Fang Jifan also expressed emotion: “I have talked with this Minister Chen, and I am deeply impressed by his uprightness. In my heart, he is like my elder brother, and I have feelings for him.

“

Emperor

Hongzhi nodded and finally made a decision: “In that case, let’s go ahead and do it.” “

Let’s go and do it…my hand is hurt.”

Fang Jifan thought to himself, secretly lamenting the backwardness of the ancients. There is no compensation for work-related injuries, which is really unreasonable.

However, Fang Jifan was still very happy. With His Majesty’s permission, everything will be fine. It all worked out.

One hundred young people were carefully selected. Most of these young people were of good character and were studying in Xishan. After they were transferred, they immediately started training.

On the other hand, they asked for money and food. As a Beijing police officer, they will have to have money to work in the future.

They will need to rent houses in various places and hire some people to help them.

Of course… they must have performance. Who can solve the case and have detailed evidence of the case. , and got the approval of the superior Beijing inspector, if we can really bring down the local officials with real evidence, we will take credit for it. The funds given will increase in the coming year, but if we can’t do anything in consecutive years, it will be better. It was easy to do, but it turned out that the evidence found could not lead to a conviction. The one with the worst performance was directly dismissed.

To put it bluntly, in Fang Jifan’s view, the bonuses and funds were the accelerator for these police officers

to make themselves more powerful .

With fame, becoming a leader, and having more funds, these Beijing police officers must rush forward with all their might.

The responsibilities of the thirteen Beijing inspectors are precisely to put the brakes on the crime. They have to test the evidence, confirm the authenticity of the witnesses and material evidence, issue orders related to the search, etc.

Most of these young people were full of energy, and they were all extremely excited when they learned that they were about to become intern police officers.

They began to familiarize themselves with the Laws of the Ming Dynasty, learn the techniques of investigation and evidence collection, and even… how to recruit informants, identify the authenticity of informants, etc.

After more than a month of training, these people each received a sum of money and started working.

In fact…

this is a good time to be like a fish in water.

Because in this era, there is almost no need to cover up corruption or oppression of the people.

It is not uncommon for people to openly send countless amounts of money to various houses in the name of Bing Jing and Tan Jing, or to bully ordinary people under various names.

There is no such thing as sneaking around.

Therefore, the so-called evidence collection skills do not exist at all.

The various Beijing police officers began to accept reports constantly, and began to look for witnesses and evidence everywhere. Those who robbed women, directly asked for money and food, and even ordinary petty officials were almost ignored by the Beijing police officers.

What happened in broad daylight was shocking.

People have long been accustomed to this.

Countless criminal evidence and files were piled up like snow flakes to fill a room.

At this time… Fang Jifan immediately invited Zhu Houzhao.

In a small courtyard of Shuntian Mansion, Zhu Houzhao summoned all the Beijing inspectors.

These Jingcha envoys actually don’t have much idea about Jingcha… but occasionally some official documents will be sent to them to tell them where things are going.

Sometimes, we also invite them to sit down and work together to see what they think of Jingcha.

Now…

thirteen Beijing inspectors gathered together.

Kong Wenshao, the Duke of Yansheng, came and smiled at everyone he met. He was a very easy-going person.

The British Duke Zhang Mao and Cheng Guogong didn’t know much about this matter, so they thought they were just here to make up the numbers.

Shouning Hou was on the side, shouting that he was hungry. Zhu Houzhao glared at the uncle before he stopped talking.

Ouyang Zhizi sat quietly in the corner.

As for Liang Chu, he still looked indifferent to the world.

Xiao Jing also came reluctantly, and reluctantly sat with Liu Jin.

Although he was smiling, he couldn’t help but murmur in his heart, who are we, who is Liu Jin? When we were in the palace, you, Liu Jin, were nothing, but now… you are actually on an equal footing, hey… life… …

The commander of the Jinyi Guards, Mou Bin, had a sullen face with a sinister look on his face.

Chen Tianjin looked quite proud, stroking his beard leisurely. The people who can sit here are not ordinary people. They are respected by Fang Jifan, but…

Chen Tianjin still feels that the thunder in Beijing is loud and the rain is light. This is also good. It is better not to bother, since Wouldn’t it be nice to have the name of a Beijing inspector and avoid trouble?

When Fang Jifan saw Chen Tianjin, he greeted him with a smile: “Mr. Chen, how are you?”

Chen Tianjin pursed his lips and deliberately turned his face away, as if he was just trying to get close to you, I have nothing to do with you, don’t hurt me .

clear name.

Fang Jifan was not upset at all. The prince was sitting in the first place. Fang Jifan coughed and said, “Your Highness, everyone is here. Can we start filing the case files now?”

Zhu Houzhao seemed very excited: “Okay, from now on, everyone will be here .”

You are not allowed to leave until more than 300 cases of corruption have been settled. Troops have been posted outside, and not even a fly can fly out.”

His Highness the Crown Prince’s words immediately caused many people to whisper.

What’s going on?

What are more than 300 cases?

What will be decided?

Why don’t you let people go?

Chen Tianjin’s heart sank… That’s not right.
