Xu Wenchang glanced at Hai Rui and shook his head helplessly. After being together for so long, Xu Wenchang understood Hai Rui very well.
Daming the common people, Hai Rui absolutely loved them as if they were his own children.
His salary and the rewards bestowed by the Emperor were all given to the poor people by him.
At the same time, he did not have a good impression of the heartless and evil Honours, so he did not show any mercy when dealing with them.
When Gao Gong sent Hai Rui to deal with Xu Jie, Hai Rui did not care and was ruthless.
Human lives were not that important in Hai Rui's eyes. If they died, they died, especially to those messy people.
Xu Wenzhang had no intention of persuading Hai Rui about this. Hai Rui was now a crazy old man. They were old and had their necks buried in the soil, so they had nothing to worry about.
Hai Rui did not have any descendants. Even if he did, Hai Rui would not care so much.
Fang Ming left the Five Cities Censor's office. He was much more spirited. It was finally time for him to show off his skills.
At the Five Cities Censor's office.
Fang Ming strode into the office and said to the soldier behind him, "Assemble!"
Following Fang Ming's order, the five commanders of the Five Cities Censor's office all gathered at the Five Cities Censor's office.
The five commanders originally did not care about Fang Ming, the new Five Cities Censor's office.
But in the past half a year, Fang Ming had removed three commanders from their posts. One of them was even banished to the army. He did not care about their feelings at all. At the same time, he was unusually ruthless.
There was no need to think about complaining. Fang Ming's position as the Five Cities Censor's office was very stable.
His direct superior was the Censor's office. Hai Rui was nicknamed the Sea Yama. It was basically impossible to complain to him.
It was even more impossible to find the officials of the Five Armies Commander-In-Chief's Office.
No one in the Five Armies Commander-In-Chief's Office wanted to offend Fang Ming. They were not subordinates.
They were well aware of Fang Ming's background. He was the emperor's trusted aide.
In the past few years, the emperor had smuggled a lot of people out, and there were also a lot of people who could fight. All of them were ruthless and had no scruples.
The emperor really supported them. When they were in trouble, you could help them. When there was nothing, you went to find trouble with them. Are you afraid that the emperor's knife is not sharp enough?
In addition, his superior was Hai Rui, and the Hades of the Sea was even more difficult to provoke. Being targeted by him would not end well.
Besides, what kind of government was the Five Cities Military Department?
Although it was nominally responsible for arresting bandits in the capital, managing the streets, ditches, prisoners, and fire restrictions, the Five Cities Warden's Office was actually the Warden's Office.
To put it bluntly, it was an army, an army in the capital. You want to interfere?
If it was in the past, it wouldn't be a problem. Civil officials often did this, but who did they think they were today?
Was military power something that just anyone could covet?
Today, there were signs that someone would come knocking on their door the next day. Only a fool would reach out to the Five Cities Warden's Office.
In this way, Fang Ming had thoroughly established himself in the Five Cities Warden's Office, becoming the true commander of the Five Cities Warden's Office, not just in name.
After summoning the five commanders, Fang Ming gave a meaningful glance to the person behind him. The person nodded and walked out.
When the door was closed from the outside, his voice could still be heard.
"Set up a sentry a hundred paces away. Without the commander's order, no one is allowed to approach. Anyone who disobeys will be killed."
Hearing these words, the five people in the room became solemn.
This was originally the Five Cities Warden's Office, so it was heavily guarded. It was a place to discuss important matters. For such a place to be so heavily guarded, it could be seen that the matter being discussed this time was no small matter.
Fang Ming's gaze swept over the faces of the five people and slowly said, "I have summoned you here today because the Five Cities Warden's Office is going to do something big."
"This is a major event. It's a large-scale crackdown on the entire capital."
As Fang Ming spoke, he cupped his hands and said, "This is the intention of the palace. I don't need to say more about the importance. In short, those who do well will be promoted and rich, and those who don't will be exiled to Liaodong."
"This time, the main targets are the hooligans and thieves on the streets, as well as the various gangs in Beijing. There are also various criminal groups, such as child abduction and prostitution, all of them are on the list."
"No matter who is involved, no matter whose people, they will all be killed."
"Those who have killed people will all be dragged out and beheaded. Those who have committed serious crimes will all be sent to the cement factory to grind stones.
In addition, strictly investigate eating, selling, and selling. Put up notices on all the streets in the capital. "
"Anyone who buys things without paying or freeloading will be severely punished, no matter which yamen is involved."
"Tell the merchants under you not to be afraid. If they come to complain, anyone who is found guilty will be punished.
Check all the gambling houses, brothels, and prostitutes for me. Anyone who forces women to be prostitutes or buys and sells human beings will be severely punished. "
The five people felt numb when they heard this. None of what Fang Ming said was easy to investigate.
All the gangs, casinos, and brothels in the capital were backed by the big shots of the capital. Honours, relatives, and officials of the court were not to be trifled with!
If they were to fight, it would cause too much of a commotion.
"If we do well, we will be promoted. If we don't, the Imperial Bodyguard and Dongchang will deal with it. You know the consequences."
"By the way, the Imperial Bodyguard and Dongchang will keep an eye on you. If you don't do well, someone will arrest you.
But the five of you are not bad. You are clean under the table. "
"Although some of you are doing business, you are not involved in dirty things."
The five people listened with cold sweat on their foreheads. They didn't know anything yet, but they were already investigated?
Fang Ming stood up and said, "I hope you understand the seriousness of the matter. Don't make mistakes and keep your hands and feet in check.
From tomorrow on, we will deal with the gangs first. "
The five people hurriedly stood up and bowed. "Yes, sir!"
The five people finally understood that they had to do it this time. They couldn't avoid it.
God knew where Dongchang and the Imperial Bodyguard would keep an eye on them. If the Imperial Bodyguard and Dongchang really got something on them, they would be finished.
He secretly rejoiced in his heart. Fortunately, he didn't do anything messy. Otherwise, he wouldn't be here now.
"That's good. Go back and arrange it. We will patrol the five cities tomorrow. I hope you won't let us down."
Fang Ming nodded. "If anyone leaks the news tonight, you are on your own!"
"We dare not!" the five people hurriedly said loudly.
"Go ahead!" Fang Ming nodded before instructing.
That night in Beijing was the same as usual, but in the five cities, a big storm was brewing, a big storm that would sweep the whole city.
