4671 That's it
In the eyes of the people, the difficulties and hardships as great as Mount Tai are just an understatement in the eyes of the top figures in the court.
The next morning, the officials of the Yangxin Palace reported their work to Emperor Tongzhi. King Yu finally failed to solve the case. The assassination against Xin Jian turned into a strange mystery!
None of the killers was caught, and no clues were found. Everyone listed their evidence, and the only reasonable explanation in the end was that the evil ghosts were seeking their lives.
Several places in the capital came to the rescue, and even the result of writing spirits and divination was that the dead Guangliang was asking Xin Jian for trouble!
It sounds reasonable to explain. After all, Xin Jian’s complaint against Yu did indeed make Guangliang and other supervisors lose their lives, and that night there was a well-known ghost crying sound.
The assassination was ultimately attributed to the evil ghost's life-seeking. This ending was really unrestrained, but unfortunately, the people at that time really accepted such an answer!
The way of gods and ghosts was so marketable in that year!
It would be useless if Xin Jian was not convinced. The Beijing Iron Factory gave you three thousand taels of comfort. Is it good to buy you a calm person? You can discuss the conditions you have, anyway, you are not really hurt!
Your student Hu Zi broke one leg? OK, you will also give three thousand taels of medicine to pay for. It is not disabled, so it is enough to spend!
In that era, the people were simple and timid, and they did not dare to expect anything like truth and fairness. When they saw that the court really paid money, these people not only did not get angry but kept thanking the emperor for his kindness and saying good things from the court!
Xin Jian had no choice when he encountered this situation. He knew that these workers had lived in this era since childhood and could not change their inertial thinking at all. It was already a blessing in their eyes to be able to get some compensation from the court!
Xin Jian became much more mature and smooth, and did not make any trouble. He just accepted the money and shut up. The money turned back and turned into pens, inks, paper and inkstones in night school classrooms for the students to share.
King Yu breathed a sigh of relief. As long as Xin Jian, the thorn, did not cause trouble, everything else was a trivial matter. As long as the foreign devils and the second devils were comforted this year, there would be no worries!
King Yu directly reported to the emperor that the case had been settled. Even if the evil ghosts were seeking their lives, everyone was happy. Xin Jian also stated that he was not pursuing it, and the victim was properly placed.
Zaichun actually didn't want to continue to investigate. Now the court has had too many things, and each of them is bigger than this one. When he heard that the Chinese people were not making trouble, he naturally nodded and asked King Yu to close the case.
The ministers discussed the national policy again, and the court meeting naturally dispersed at around nine o'clock!
King Yu walked towards Xihuamen, and after only a few steps, he heard Fu Qing's voice behind him, "Prince Yu! This case was handled beautifully, congratulations to you!"
"Oh... Lord Fuqing has been polite, it's all his duty, and I'll share my worries with Master Long Live... Why did you come here without leaving Donghuamen?"
"Oh, I'm going to go out of the city to go for a walk around the west mountain and check the copper cables in the post office... The accounts in the two steps are no longer in line, and I'm just arguing! Damn, I suspect that an insider steals copper cables and sells them. If I want me to catch them, I must peel him off!"
"Ah... Go to Xishan Daku, that's the direction, let's go together..."
From the Military Affairs Office to Xihuamen, the two of them walked in a car and chatted while walking. As they spoke, Fu Qing changed his voice, "Hey... I saw something very sad yesterday, I have to tell you!"
"I went home after the curfew last night. When I passed by the entrance of Nanchengzhu City, I saw a woman running wildly on the street with her child in her arms, shouting for a rickshaw while running!"
"I asked the servant to ask, and then I realized that the child had a high fever and was about to lose weight. I went to see the doctor at night but couldn't find a rickshaw or sedan!"
"There's no way. I asked my personal soldiers to ride horses to send the mother and son. I don't know if the child was saved?"
"The prince is in charge of the matter on the ground in the capital. I just want to ask... Didn't there be rickshaws running every night before? Why did there suddenly be no one?"
King Yu was stunned, his mind suddenly turned 180 times, and he thought a lot in a short time.
The Fucha family is the chief boss behind all rickshaws in the capital. Xiao Letian gave the entire Qing Dynasty a business to their family for producing rickshaws!
All the rickshaws produced in the Qing Dynasty were their family's industries, which means that the downstream running business is also considered the Fucha family's industry!
The more work you take, the more rickshaws you sell, and the more money they make. Is Fuqing blamed me for ordering that rickshaws are prohibited from running around at night?
Has it delayed their family making money? Come and warn yourself? Good, Fuqing is not easy to mess with. His brother-in-law is simply the living king of hell!
I would rather provoke the Emperor than provoke the Head of State!
"Oh... the third master is talking about this! I have a headache these two days. These censors come to me all day long, saying that there will always be a curfew system for rickshaws in the middle of the night!"
"Fight, scold people, and slogge the bell to disturb the people... and they also violated the ban, forcing me to crack down on it, so the market investigation has been stricter in the past two days..."
"This is also impossible. Who made the Qing Dynasty have this curfew system?"
The ball was kicked over and directly pushed the blame to the Censor Qingliu and the ancestral system!
"Hahaha... Prince Yu said that the lower officials had no other meaning, just seeing the sick mother and son was so pitiful!"
"The subordinate officials have an immature idea. This national law is nothing more than human favors! The family law of our ancestors is not wrong, and curfews are also beneficial to the safety of the people!"
"But we can't stick to the rules, it's still the same! People have a headache and fever at night. The relatives at home went out to drink and hangover and didn't return. Even their wife quarreled with the man and ran out in the middle of the night to go back to their parents' home..."
"It's all unsafe. It's really unreasonable to not let these relatives go out!"
"I heard before that the General Police Department issued 100 late-night roads? Isn't this a good reform attempt? We won't abolish the curfew system, but we can reform it in limited quantities!"
"One hundred late-night roads are one hundred licenses! Make it formal, legal, and long-term... All those who hold these licenses are registered and registered. Every day, whoever comes out to run for work at night must report to the police station!"
"In this way, your police have added 100 helpers to patrol the street late at night. When you encounter someone who is sick and drunk, you don't need the police to send it. The rickshaw is sent home with a wave of your hand!"
"Don't worry about public security issues. All rickshaw drivers have registered. Do they still dare to steal, rape and adultery? They have all registered, and they are very easy to catch!"
King Yu's eyes turned around and felt that he wanted to sell the face of the Third Master. He immediately smiled and said, "The Third Master really loves the people, this is a good way!"
"On the one hand, we will not abolish the curfew system, and we will also follow the old rules... And after registering these 100 coachmen, even if they are an auxiliary force for the night patrolmen at night!"
"It helps the people in the capital to live more conveniently! They are all under the supervision of our police, and there is no need to worry about safety!"
"Haha... The third master is so scheming! That's it!"
