Chapter 262: visit

   Chapter 262 Prison Visit

   There are nine gates in Kang'an City, three gates in each of the east, west and south. The Yanping Gate in the southwest is under the jurisdiction of Erye Jiang of the West City, and the Kaiyuan Gate in the northwest is under the jurisdiction of Qiao Zengzi in the North City.

  The soldiers and horses of Suzhou entered the city from Jinguangmen. Who should maintain the law and order and clear the streets? This time, I can send the generals and horses directly to Taipu Temple, and maybe I will see Long Live. It's a decent errand to show your face.

   Jiang Erye saw Qiao Zengzi's desire, and made a gesture of invitation under the table, indicating that he should ask for this errand. Qiao Zengzi was very grateful, and clasped his fists under the table. After the governor finished speaking, he took the initiative to say, "Don't worry, sir, Xiaguan will lead people to clear the streets, control pedestrians, and ensure that the troops and horses are safely sent to Taipu Temple."

Zhang Wenjiang saw that Jiang Feng did not intend to compete, and was very satisfied. After saying a few more words, he said, "Mr. Jiang has managed the West City well, and his reputation has been introduced into the Golden Temple, and he has been praised by the saint. As a role model, self-denial and diligent, the people of Kang'an City do not pick up things on the road, and do not close their houses at night, and have a good reputation."

   "Yes." The commanders of the other four cities responded in unison.

   Jiang Erye quickly stood up, "Xiaguan dare not take credit, it is you who taught me tirelessly, that made Xiaguan relax. When the sage praised Xiaguan, Xiaguan also told Wan Sui the same way."

  Liao Gang…

"It's also Mr. Jiang's intelligence. With just a few words from this government, you can draw inferences from other facts and draw parallels." Zhang Wenjiang smiled quite gratified. He didn't expect Jiang Feng to take office for only three months, so he would be given to him in front of Wan Sui and other ministers. With such a big face and such a subordinate, who doesn't like it?

   Master Zhou Qiwen, who was standing behind Zhang Wenjiang, also kept nodding, yes, very good, Jiang Erye did a better job than he thought, and his second brother really followed the right person this time.

   The commander of Nancheng, Gao Yonghu, who was robbed of a lot of business in Nanshi by Xicheng, asked in a loud voice, "Master Zhang, there are a few things I would like to ask Master Jiang for advice, okay?"

  Zhang Wenjiang nodded, "It is a good thing to learn from colleagues' strengths and avoid their own weaknesses."

   Gao Yonghu is welcome, "Mr. Jiang, Gao heard that you promised half of your wax to the officers of the Xicheng Yamen, is there any such thing?"

   There is no impermeable wall in this world, Jiang Er Ye didn't hide it, and said with a painful expression, "Yes. I'm not as good as you, I can only rely on the extra efforts of the yamen officials, so I came up with this strategy and cut my teeth."

   After listening to his words and seeing his painful expression, the others finally felt more balanced. The biggest income for officials at the end of the year was La Feng. According to the custom, the commander of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses will have three hundred taels of La Feng at the end of the year, and Jiang Feng has promised one hundred and fifty taels, which is indeed a meat cut.

   Du Maoshen of Dongcheng asked, "Mr. Jiang's move is really ingenious. What Du wants to ask Lord Jiang is, how do you restrain those rogues in the West City?"

   This is also one of the questions that everyone is most concerned about. Everyone is staring at Jiang Erye, waiting for him to speak. Jiang Erye said with sincerity, "The local ruffians are the most scoundrels. They don't listen to their control. Just imagine, lords, what are they doing roaming around in the market all day?"

   "Delicious and lazy!"

   "Tricked and abducted!"

   "Fight hard!"

  “…”

  The crowd listed dozens of hateful things about the picky ruffians, and they hated them deeply, but they couldn't do anything about it. Because they made big mistakes and did not make small mistakes constantly, they caught a few board games and fined some money, but they were still the same after they went out.

   Erye Jiang patiently listened to everyone's words before saying, "In the final analysis, what they want is face and money. After discussing with the officials in the yamen, Jiang will set up control in Xicheng and arrest them all in the yamen to scare them..."

   "How can they eat this kind of thing, everyone honestly asks for advice, is it inappropriate for Mr. Jiang to fool like this?" Liao Gang said immediately.

Jiang Erye smiled and said, "Master Liao, don't be in a hurry, just listen to me and tell me slowly. After I arrested these people and terrified them, I gave them two ways to make money: First, there are traders in the West City who dare to lack Jinshuangliang was kidnapped and deceived. As long as their stolen goods were sent to the yamen, they would hand over half of the fined silver to them as a reward; secondly, whenever a thief entered Xicheng to commit theft, abduction, etc., after they caught it, they would follow the The guilt of the thief is serious and the reward is given."

  Zuo Yuanliang of the Zhongcheng Soldier and Horse Division said, "So like this, wouldn't the yamen have to spend a lot of money to support them?"

"Master Zuo's thoughts are very reasonable. But the local ruffians are far more familiar with Fangshi than you and me. With their help in clearing the city and arresting thieves, the square city will be peaceful, and the people will live and work in peace and contentment. It will increase, if you make careful calculations, you can still pay for it." Jiang Erye explained.

   Everyone was thoughtful, and Liao Gang continued to nitpick, "Don't Mr. Jiang's move mean that the local ruffians have robbed the officers and soldiers of patrolling the city and the job of catching the head?"

Jiang Erye said solemnly, "Lord Liao, the local ruffians are also my disciples of the Zhou Dynasty. Those who are officials should love the people like sons, and show them a clear path for them to return to the right path, why not? If it takes a few months of experience , they can take on the errands of patrolling the city and arresting the head, and we will recruit them into the yamen. The extra manpower can be used for other great purposes, isn't it the best of both worlds?"

Liao Gang was speechless by Jiang Erye, and Zhao Minde, another young governor of Jingzhao Mansion, stood up and handed over his hands, "Listening to your words is better than reading ten years of books, Jiang Da's heart cherishes kindness and righteousness, and Minde admires the most. ."

Jiang Erye hurriedly handed over his hands, "The major case files that Master Zhao has tried in the past three years have been carefully read by the lower officials. Your Excellency, every time you can track down the murderer through clues ignored by others, the lower officials admire you the most. If the servants had half of your work, they wouldn't have given up La Feng to He Daobin."

   Everyone laughed and laughed. Zhang Wenjiang was quite satisfied with the results of today's discussion, and after a few more words, the crowd dispersed.

   Now it was time for lunch, Qiao Zengzi was very interested in Jiang Erye's way of governing the western market, and wanted to take the opportunity to invite Jiang Erye to lunch, and ask him for some more advice. Unexpectedly, Jiang Erye stayed in the room to talk to Master Zhang, and Qiao Zengzi had to go one step ahead.

   In the meeting room, Jiang Erye stood in front of Zhang Wenjiang with a smile on his face, "Sir, I have something to ask you, please grant me."

   Zhang Wenjiang, who was drunk, immediately woke up, "What do you say first."

   Jiang Erye took a step closer and said in a low voice, "Xiaguan wants to go to death row, ask Meng San why he hates Xiaguan so much."

   Today is a rare opportunity, Jiang Erye wants to take advantage of Zhang Wenjiang's happiness and try his attitude. If it doesn't work this time, and next time, if it doesn't work next time, he won't go through Zhang Wenjiang's hurdle, and just buy the prisoner into it!

   "It's all trivial matters, don't ask." Zhang Wenjiang should not be allowed to enter the death row.

Jiang Erye looked at Zhang Wenjiang and said sadly, "The adults also know that after the death of Xiaguan's wife, only two daughters and one son are left for Xiaguan. They are the lifeblood of Xiaguan. Meng San hates Xiaguan so much. Taking Liu'er's life made Xiaguan puzzled and frightened. Xiaguan wanted to know what he was thinking, and whether the rest of the Meng family hated the Jiang family so much. You also know that Xiaguan's grandmother, father, and wife have all passed away, and Xiaguan can no longer bear the grief of the death of his relatives."

   Zhang Wenjiang and Jiang Feng looked at each other for a moment, then finally sighed and compromised, "An hour."
