Chapter 187: Complaint (Subscription Request)
"Are you done?" Twenty or thirty old men were looking at the hundreds of cavalrymen going away with trepidation. They were delivering vegetables to the navy. They had arrived yesterday and saw hundreds of cavalrymen blocking the navy's main camp.
We also saw countless people rushing out of the navy camp. We thought that this group of cavalrymen were doomed, but who knew that they died faster in the navy camp than in wheat cutting, like chopping melons and vegetables. This group of cavalrymen of unknown origin were too strong.
Especially that move, when the navy camp had a large ship setting out and wanted to go into the sea, a huge red longbow appeared above the heads of the hundreds of cavalrymen, with a long arrow on it, which was extremely huge. With one arrow, a long hole was pierced in the large ship, and the whole ship sank. Those were the only three large ships in the navy camp.
They had been discovered and did not dare to leave, so they stayed far away for the whole day. Until one night, a few cavalrymen dressed like these people came out from the navy camp, holding a bunch of things like account books, and just left.
"What should we do?" Although these dozens of old men survived, they were terrified when they saw the corpses everywhere.
"Old Wang, Old Zhang, come quickly." Some people suddenly appeared in the navy camp, all of them were familiar firemen.
These dozens of old men watched as the hundreds of ferocious-looking people left, and when they saw familiar faces, they dared to greet them.
"Chef Zhang, what happened?" Lao Wang muttered in a low voice.
"An incident happened. Many people in the navy had benefited from the Ming family. The Four Famous Detectives went to the south of the Yangtze River to investigate the Ming family. These people were afraid of what they might find out, so they wanted to protest, but they were all killed by the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry. As for that ship, the commander knew the situation was hopeless and wanted to escape, but he was shot dead." Chef Zhang is very gossipy.
"No way, with so many people here, aren't you afraid of killing someone by mistake?"
"What do you mean by accidental killing? There was no military order. Who asked them to go out? They came to block the door. If they didn't go out, there would be no problem. There is nothing we can do about it. Many brothers have long been fed up with seeing them colluding with the Ming family. They survived this time, but their strength has been greatly reduced." Even the admiral has colluded with the Ming family. You can imagine how many people have been killed.
Something happened to the Jiangnan Navy, and the Ming family finally did not get their hope. All their cards had been revealed, and in the end they just wanted to bully the Four Famous Constables into not fighting a big battle with the Jiangnan Navy. Who would have thought that they would bring the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry directly with them.
After killing the people, the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry did not return to Kyoto. They went straight into the Three Major Quarters. They were worried that the Ming family had a backup plan and could stir up trouble in Jiangnan. With the Three Hundred and Eighty-Ranks here, they could just suppress it directly. It was also to protect the Three Major Quarters and prevent the Ming family from being cornered.
Nowadays, only Shen Qingzhou's Tiger and Leopard Cavalry can stage such a battle. They can directly suppress the Jiangnan Navy created by Ye Qingmei to protect transportation with just a few hundred people. This is an army.
Within three days, all the powerful people in Jiangnan knew about the downfall of the Ming family. Even though the Ming family was prosperous in Jiangnan, they could not withstand the arrival of the Four Famous Detectives to solve the case.
Except for Guo Ding, all the other people from the Six Gates of Jiangnan were thrown into jail. Guo Ding came here alone to gather information. The people from the Six Gates did enter the Six Gates according to the regular procedures, but they were all funded by the Ming family. If Guo Ding had not been waiting for Wuqing, he would have overthrown them long ago.
In the past few days, the government has never stopped. The Four Famous Detectives have traveled all over Jiangnan. Many gold and silver medal chief detectives have been transferred here, and they have also brought many of their detectives. Without the help of people from Jiangnan, there is no chance for any family to intervene.
The people of Jiangnan also discovered that the world had changed. The Ming family, which was once so wealthy that it could make anyone powerful, had fallen. As long as they went to file a complaint, the members of the Ming family, who had once been so powerful, would be caught and convicted and would be put to death. In addition to the Ming family, there were other families that relied on the Ming family to do evil.
The Four Famous Detectives don't care who you are. If the evidence is solid, there is only one choice: death. The verdict is always pronounced in court. At their peak, they executed 78 members of the Ming family in one day, and brought out hundreds of people behind the scenes. Of course, the Four Famous Detectives also have people from the Six Gates, and they have indeed encountered many assassinations. What's wrong with the Ninth Rank? These aristocratic families are bound to collude. If you don't fight for yourself, you will be dragged out.
However, those who came to Jiangnan this time, even if they are constables, will have the qualifications to be silver-medal constables in the future. They just came here for training. If they are killed even though they have body-building skills, they might as well commit suicide.
In addition to armed assassinations, there were also complaints to the capital. Many aristocratic families, especially the Ming family, had foresight and influence in Kyoto, so they were just waiting.
The aristocratic families in Jiangnan were silent and particularly calm. According to the Ming family's plan, Jiangnan should have been in chaos during the demonstration, but the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry directly slaughtered more than 4,500 people of the Jiangnan navy. It was too scary.
As for the people from the underworld, they did not burn, kill and loot in Jiangnan just because the army was not strong enough. The ones who came this time were the Six Gates. They are now a powerful family, but their main job is to manage the underworld forces.
The Four Famous Detectives were able to become famous detectives thanks to the heads contributed by some masters in the underworld. The cold-blooded Thirteen Eagles are already a first-class force in the underworld.
The Four Famous Detectives also knew that they would be reported, and might have cared about it before, but now, they are the disciples of the Grand Master.
However, it must be said that the Four Famous Detectives have become more famous after this incident. This is truly a plea for the people.
Logically speaking, if they do this to the aristocratic families, those people with the final say will not let them off easily. But who can blame Liushenmen for being a top-notch publicity tycoon? With lottery as a money-making tool, the God of Detectives also learned about the role of publicity through the Four Famous Detectives. You, a literati, cannot smear it.
Kyoto.
“Your Majesty, my Ming family is wronged. We have worked diligently and wholeheartedly for our Qing Kingdom. The Four Famous Constables came to Jiangnan and arrested the head of my Ming family and the old lady without any investigation. The most outrageous thing is that they were accompanied by cavalrymen of unknown origin who directly attacked the Jiangnan Navy and killed the admiral.
Our Qing country wants to sell its goods everywhere, but the Jiangnan Navy is no longer able to protect them. These six gates are clearly eyeing the inner treasury's financial power and want to take it under their control. Your Majesty, do not be deceived by villains. "Just after the court session, a white-haired old man, a third-rank official, rushed out to file a complaint.
Everyone looked forward in tacit understanding. The place where Shen Qingzhou had originally stood during court was now occupied by another person, the Six Gates God Catcher.
Ever since Shen Qingzhou announced the list, Emperor Qing and he have had a tacit understanding. Emperor Qing did not ask him to return to the court. Instead, because of the Six Gates' good methods of solving cases, he directly promoted the Six Gates as a whole to a certain level, only half a level lower than the Ministry of Justice. However, the God of Capture is already a second-rank official position.
The Four Famous Detectives have also been promoted to the third rank and are eligible to attend court. I heard that they will also be given gold and silver medal chief constable positions, and the Ministry of Personnel has already started working on it.
Everyone knows why. The Six Gates are too powerful and the court wants to use them for its own purposes.
