185 Not for the purpose of making money
"Liu Qing, is there any evidence that I asked you to investigate?"
Liu Xingzuo obviously didn't sleep and was listening, so he replied immediately: "Reply to Your Majesty, I found out that Luo Yangxing directly ordered that the Axe Gang no longer be surrounded. As for why Luo Yangxing suddenly ordered and who contacted him and talked, this matter is still being investigated..."
After not replying, Hu Guang felt that the progress would not go smoothly. It turned out that it was related to Luo Yangxing, which was really difficult to investigate!
Thinking of this, Hu Guang was unwilling to wait for the result, so he ordered Liu Xingzuo to say, "Come to see me tomorrow morning!"
Then, he switched to the East Factory Working Group and gave an explanation to Cao Huachun.
The next morning, when Liu Xingzuo and Cao Huachun rushed to see the emperor, they found that the other party had also been summoned. In this case, it was estimated that the emperor would definitely do something.
Sure enough, after seeing them, Hu Guang briefly said that it would take a lot of labor to build a house on Yongping and other places, but it was not appropriate to recruit the civilians.
After explaining a little, Hu Guang told them to the two of them, "You send someone to investigate the Ministry of Justice and other prisons, and escort prisoners with serious crimes to Yongping and other places to serve; in addition..."
Speaking of this, he said with a serious expression: "The capital does not allow snakes, insects, rats and ants like the Axe Gang, so I decided to carry out a severe crackdown in the capital for two days to remove all these snakes, insects, rats and ants. All the gang members caught will be sent to Yongping and other places for labor. Do you understand?"
Hearing this, Liu Xingzuo and Cao Huachun immediately responded: "Abide by the order!"
"In order to prevent these gang members from having a backstage, or inform them, or plead for them, etc., this crackdown must be kept confidential in advance. At the beginning, a thunderous blow should be carried out, and try not to let gang members miss the net, especially those responsible; and, try to capture those who can be captured alive, as the court lacks the labor force for middle-aged people!"
Hu Guang's explanation of these was naturally based on the experience of later generations. In the past, there was indeed a period of poor social security. Later, many crackdowns were carried out, and the social environment improved a lot. He still remembered that before the crackdown, socialists even affected his school. After the crackdown, the school became quiet.
At this time, although the capital was under martial law and other measures, robbery rarely happened. However, labor is needed now, and these gang members are the cancer of social stability, so they took the opportunity to eradicate them. Even if it was blown by the spring breeze, it did not prevent the crackdown from being severely cracked down this time.
Cao Huachun and Liu Xingzuo responded again, and then Cao Huachun hesitated for a while and spoke: "Your Majesty, the East Factory is still short of staff, I beg to send some helpers."
"Your Majesty, I will discuss that if you want to attack these people with a thunderous blow and try to capture as much as possible, the factory guards alone may not have enough staff. These people are well-informed. When they are arrested at the beginning, they will disappear when they smell something wrong." Liu Xingzuo also followed.
When Hu Guang heard this, he thought for a moment that it was indeed the case. He ordered the eunuch Gao Shiyue, the chief eunuch in charge of the imperial horses, and asked him to mobilize the personnel from the imperial horses to cooperate with the factory guards to arrest him.
As for the Jingying, the capable soldiers were sent out due to food control. It is hard to say whether the remaining old and weak can beat the gang personnel and whether they will escape. Moreover, it is hard to say whether they have any contact with those gang members in the Jingying.
Hu Guang would not believe it even more. Without the indulgence of the Five Cities of the Five Cities of the Five Cities, it would be even more difficult for such a gang to survive.
After the decree was announced, the three giants took emergency action and prepared for half a day.
Gao Shiyue drew 5,000 troops from the four guards of Tengxiang, while Cao Huachun drew only 700 Dongchang soldiers. There were many new members among them. Liu Xingzuo had a little more, and there were two thousand Jinyiwei lieutenants available.
There were a total of about 7,700 people, divided into more than 100 people, and according to the original information of the factory guards, they spread to the entire capital city to form a sky net, and then suddenly announced the mission and started a rare crackdown in the capital.
In a remote house in a slum in the capital, it seems that there is no popularity outside, and it seems to be an uninhabited house. But inside the house, there are nearly ten people busy.
The division of labor among these people was very clear. Two people were busy cutting rice paper, cutting it into small pieces with a sample in their hands, and one person sorted it out according to the size of several small pieces and sent it to the other two tables where they were writing for what they were writing on the words.
The small pieces of paper written by these two people will be placed on the kang, and the handwriting on the pieces will be dried in a short while. Then someone will put the pieces of paper away and send them to another table. Someone is having fun holding a few seals. The last person will take the pieces of paper to the kang and dry, and then collect them and send them to the last table.
At this table, there were two people sitting, drinking tea leisurely, and the smile on their faces could not be covered. The older one smiled at the younger one and said, "Ergou, how about it, is it easy to make money in this kind of transaction?"
"The gang leader is very good at all. As long as we sell the food we receive to the black market, we can make a lot of money!" Wu Ergou nodded and echoed.
In fact, when he drove the carriage to receive these special rice paper for the imperial court, he already understood what the mysterious gentleman asked the gang leader to do. This is indeed a good deal. If you act a little, you can make a lot of money without shouting and killing.
Unexpectedly, after hearing his words, the gang leader shook his head and said, "No, we don't come out to collect grain directly, but go to the black market to sell these food coupons at a low price. Sell them all in a short time, and then let the people selling food coupons hide. In this way, we can make a big profit without any risks, do you understand?"
Wu Ergou was a little stunned when he heard this. It didn't seem like the style of the gang leader! If he did this, he would make a lot less money. But he soon came to his senses. It must have been the explanation from the mysterious gentleman.
He thought in his mind that if he was eager to get out of business and to make a lot of money if he sent someone to get food, he would make a lot of money if he wanted to rush to get it.
Suddenly, a thought flashed through him, wasn’t this the main purpose of making money? If so, why was this done?
He was thinking, and suddenly he heard a "bang" sound from outside, and then the chaotic footsteps came over. Among these sounds, there were low shouts.
Almost instinctively, Wu Ergou pulled out the axe stuck between his waist and hurriedly touched the door, trying to hide behind the door.
After he took action, the gang leader reacted. However, he did not go to the door, but instead went to the back door in panic. The remaining people were dull and didn't know what had happened.
