At this moment, in the entire capital, whether it was the Embroidered Uniform Guards or Ye Fan, everything they did would attract the attention of many.
Looking at the wooden boxes that they had sent people to make and place everywhere in the capital, everyone was puzzled. It was not until they saw the documents on the wooden boxes that everyone understood what Ye Fan wanted to do.
The commoners were used to being bullied. Even though they knew about the corruption and honesty of officials, they could easily catch a commoner and tell you who the bullies in the south of the city were and who they could not provoke.
However, if they were to really step forward and report it, even if it was just writing a letter, they would not dare to do so.
Ordinary people were poor and short of breath. It was already good enough that the dignitaries did not provoke them. Did they intend to let them take the initiative to provoke the dignitaries?
Moreover, in the hearts of the people, officials protected each other. That was a wise saying that had been passed down through the ages.
More than a day passed. The people Ye Fan sent out to collect the letters returned with no results.
Ye Fan looked at the Embroidered Uniform Guards around him and looked at Liu Chong, the deputy general, and said,"Liu Chong, you've been in the Imperial Army for so many years, and you've lived in the capital for so many years. You should be familiar with the capital, right?”
Liu Chong nodded, but he didn't understand.
"Then let me ask you, are there any bullies in the capital who bully their neighbors? It didn't matter if he was a relative of the royal family or something else, as long as he was evil or greedy, it was fine.”
Liu Chong thought for a moment and said,"There are too many small evils. For example, the Butcher in the west of the city, the Bodyguard Agency in the south of the city, and…"
Hearing Liu Chong's words, he waved his hand and said,"As long as it's a bully, no matter how big or small, you can bring people to capture him for me.”
Liu Chong looked embarrassed. To him, it was a little embarrassing for an Embroidered Uniform Guard to capture some rural bullies.
Ye Fan looked at him and saw that he didn't move. He directly scolded,"What are you waiting for? If he didn't catch the bully now, how could he catch the high-ranking officials in the future? Hurry up and get lost.”
Liu Chong was scolded by Ye Fan and immediately did not dare to delay. He brought his men and rode their horses.
In less than six hours, the entire Embroidered Uniform Guards encampment was bustling with activity.
One by one, the criminals were captured. No matter what background and relationship they had not been captured, Ye Fan wanted to see who would dare to bail them out after they entered the Brocade Guard.
When the Embroidered Uniform Guards were set up, they had built a prison underground. The space was not small, so it was not too troublesome to bring these people back.
Ye Fan brought back a total of 500 people from the Imperial Army. Liu Chong selected 300 people to be the action team, and the rest were responsible for the guards of the Embroidered Uniform Guards and other miscellaneous matters.
This included the interrogation.
In the prison of the Embroidered Uniform Guards, bullies were beaten by the Embroidered Uniform Guards. Ye Fan had ordered that anyone who entered the Embroidered Uniform Guards would either confess or be beaten to death. There was also a third possibility, which was that the interrogating jailer would die for the prisoner.
In short, as long as one entered the Embroidered Uniform Guards, it was impossible to retreat unscathed.
With Ye Fan backing them up, the jailers below were not afraid at all. Looking at such an impudent and bold jailer, these bullies did not dare to. They were afraid and each of them explained the things they had committed in detail. Moreover, many of them were afraid of hiding and being beaten to death, so they even said a lot of things that Ye Fan and the others did not understand.
Minister Sifona was toasting with Longkedo.
"Long Zhong Tang, with your help, why would I be afraid of the Embroidered Uniform Guards!”Sifner said obsequiously.
Long Keduo straightened his back and said," Although the Emperor loves Ye Fan, the Qing Dynasty is still the Qing Dynasty of the Manchu people. Ye Fan is just a chess piece of the Emperor." When he doesn't need it, he will naturally abandon it. At that time, you can slowly settle the score with him. In short, you don't have to worry. I just received news that Ye Fan had just established the Jinyiwei. He had nothing to do and went to catch some bullies in the countryside to fool around. Such a person is really not worth mentioning.”
"Why not? Would I lie to you? Ye Fan got someone to get some boxes and placed them all over the capital. He said that he wanted the people to report those who were greedy and perverted the law. However, he didn't think about it. Who would dare to do such a thing? It had been almost two days, but no one had reported it. Moreover, a dignified Jinyiwei actually went to catch some bullies. It was really embarrassing. If I were him, I would find a hole to hide in and never come out. Hahaha.”
Hearing this, Sifner did not say anything else. Although he knew Ye Fan well, he should not be like this. However, the truth was right in front of him. How could he not admit it?
Now that he had the help of Emperor Yongzheng's uncle, Long Keduo, who led the three provinces and six ministries, he did not have to worry about Ye Fan's revenge in the future.
In terms of power, the Military and Political Affairs Office was the center of power in the country. Ye Fan could not compare to it at all. In terms of favor, Longkeduo was the only person Emperor Yongzheng had publicly called uncle. It was obvious who was more awesome.
"Don't worry, we'll let that Ye Fan fool around for two days. If in a few days, he is still catching some bully or setting up a report box, just these two points, I can go to the emperor and seize his official position for incompetence. At that time, won't you have the final say?”
Lonkedo looked at the expression on Sifona's face and advised.
