On June 28, the ninth year of Wanli, Lu Wancai, the chief magistrate of Shuntian Prefecture, was fined three months' salary.

No one who has achieved this position will care about the salary that is not enough for one person to eat for a year, but the salary fine is one of the severe punishments of civil servants by the capital.

Qingliuzi, civil servants and ministers, pay attention to a gentle and elegant style. There are few direct reprimands on the official side. If you make a mistake or offend someone to a certain extent, this mistake will not be as good as demotion or removal from an official position, and it will generally be a salary fine.

And this is a precursor. If someone is fined, he will not be promoted in the officialdom in the future and will be bleak all the way.

Although Lu Wancai was just a magistrate of Shuntian Prefecture and could not be called a high-ranking and noble person, this position was an important position, not to mention his errand in the Public Security Department. He was a close friend of Wang Tong, a Jinyiwei Qianhu.

Since Wang Tong appeared in the sight of the capital, although there were many controversies around him and the court officials were criticized continuously, Wang Tong was always on the rise on the road to officialdom. Although there were not many people around him, he followed him and stood firm in the storm, but this time it was different.

Although there was no big announcement, the news spread quickly throughout the capital, and many people thought what this matter meant.

After all, the Public Security Department where Lu Wancai is located is under the jurisdiction of Zhang Cheng, the eunuch of the Lijian Supervisor. He is close to Wang Tong, but he still has to rely on Eunuch Zhang to shelter from the wind and rain in various matters in the capital.

Now that Eunuch Zhang can’t protect him, is there really something big? Is it necessary to finish the yamen of the Public Security Department? Many people think so.

There are not many people in the capital who have a good impression of the Public Security Department. Not to mention those who have to spend money to buy the Ping An brand, who would like to have such an institution to keep an eye on everyone besides Dongchang and Jinyiwei.

Seeing the people from the Public Security Department being defeated, there were people who speculated, and more people who were gloating. On June 29th, it was quiet for a day, and everyone in the capital had to wait and see if there were any recurrences in this matter.

But the well-informed people in the capital didn't hear anything. Lu Wancai was fined three months' salary. Moreover, Shuntian Prefecture and Jinyiwei all investigated Wuming Bai's crimes outside the city and quietly withdrew into the city. It seemed that Lu Wancai and the Public Security Department were indeed unlucky this time, and maybe even Eunuch Zhang was inappropriate.

The case of Wuming Bai and others abandoning the people ended like this, which shows that he was offending the people in the palace. What else can be better...

On June 30th, a few of the people sent to the store to collect safe money were pushed back by people who were neither soft nor hard. Someone in the Qinguan pretended to be crazy by drinking wine and said he wanted to take a few girls back.

Everyone knows that this is a test. If the Public Security Department endures silently, it will further prove everyone's judgment. The Public Security Department becomes soft and someone has defeated his momentum.

Even the police officers of the Public Security Bureau were verbalized outside and did not receive the money. At that time, they could only swallow their anger. The servants and maids in the Qinguan only advised the drunken and nonsense customers, not scolding them like before.

If you let someone else bet, you will be bullied. This practice has made the people in the capital more confirm their ideas. Many people are planning to give the Public Security Bureau a good look the next day.

However, the next day, people who wanted to give the Public Security Department a good look were scared. The shops that did not buy the Ping An brand the day before were blocked by the officers from Shuntian Mansion.

The guests who made trouble in the Qinguan were also beaten by the Qinguan guards. They had no way to complain. Some people who rely on the backstage wanted to find someone to fight, but were startled by the news from the palace.

Zhang Ping, the eunuch Zhang Cheng, was a nephew of the eunuch Zhang Cheng, who was loyal and honest. He was specially appointed as the Jinyiwei and was appointed as the chief banner. He was stationed in Nanjie.

The eunuch who is the eunuch who is the second and third among the internal officials. Needless to say, this authority is equivalent to the second auxiliary of the cabinet, and the rewards in the palace are also unrewardable. According to conventions, it is always promoted to the nephew of such eunuchs into the Jinyiwei or the Dongchang, just like Feng Bao's nephew Feng Youning is the East Factory in charge of the thousand households.

At this moment, with such a decree of kindness and reward, everyone knows the attitude of the palace towards Eunuch Zhang. There is something wrong with it, and it is clearly a favor.

Not to mention the rumors that the Empress Dowager and Long Sui Ye praised Eunuch Zhang in person, Zhang Cheng's status was stable and even bullish.

Then his security department is naturally stable, and there is no misfortune or unlucky mentioned above. Perhaps Lu Wancai's salary is just a salary penalty, and there is no other punishment.

Those who paid Ping An bank were glad that their family had not taken any risks, and it was too late to cry for the hard-working companies. This time, they could not reopen by paying a few times the fine.

The Public Security Department has set a tone and insisted on closing these stores. The owners are not allowed to open stores in the capital. The shopkeepers and the shopkeepers are no longer allowed to seek labor in the capital. As for the licentious men who cause trouble in the Qinguan, there are people from the Jinyiwei coming to the door to "visit". As a result, these licentious men either get infected with cold the next day, "restoring illness" at home, or leaving the capital with "homesome".

The same is true if you don’t open a shop in the capital, and go to Tianjin Wei. If you don’t ask for life in the capital, you can work in many wealthy places in the world. As for those rioters who make trouble, they just pretend to be crazy by drinking and just warn them.

But this attitude was made. Although Lu Wancai was fined and Wuming was withdrawn from the investigation outside the city, the Public Security Department was still not easy to mess with.

The Public Security Department is still majestic, but the poor people are not in a good mood. Lu Wancai, the magistrate of Shuntian Prefecture, was ill for half a month, and Zou Yi was busy with the errands of the Lijian Prison all day long, and he spent much less time leaving the palace.

Li Wenyuan had no expression on his face every day, but he was as always. However, when he had time, he went to Zhenxinglou to have a few drinks. He handed over the official business in Nanjie to Tian Ronghao, who was still back.

On July 15th, there will be some rituals and sacrifices as usual. People will not be in much better mood. For the Public Security Department, they are already in a bad mood, which makes them even more depressed.

On July 16th, Li Wenyuan, as usual, pointed Mao to his two hundred households in front of his house, and separated to do errands. He looked at several places where he took care of it. He calculated the same time and went to Zhenxing Building again. Now he had to restrain himself and had few things to do. Having two drinks at noon was considered a pastime.

Zhenxing Building is originally the territory of the Public Security Department. When the shopkeeper saw Li Wenyuan's reason for not being attentive to greet him and had a fixed seat, he also knew Li Wenyuan's taste and preferences. He would come up with wine and food as soon as he sat down.

However, when I entered the door today, a strange guy stood in front of the door and bowed and said respectfully:

"Mr. Li, please come inside!"

Li Wenyuan stared at him, nodded, glanced at the shopkeeper and the clerk on the counter, followed the clerk to the inner courtyard, and walked out of the back door of the building, with several private courtyards in front of him. The clerk turned around and whispered:

"Mr. Wang is waiting in Yunhaiyuan!"

Li Wenyuan paused, looked at the yard in front, nodded, stuffed the short knife that had been pulled back into his arms, and walked to the door of the yard, but saw the word "Jin" written in white gray. After seeing this mark, Li Wenyuan felt relieved and pushed the door open and walked in.

There were more than a dozen strong and strong men in the yard waiting there. The yard was not big, but so many people seemed crowded. Li Wenyuan was a little puzzled and thought why he had to create such a situation? It would be inconvenient to have something to happen so crowded.

"Mr. Wang, you look like the capital. If you come here, it will be troublesome if someone sees it!"

After entering the room, there were a few simple side dishes on the table. Wang Tong stood up with a smile. After all, Li Wenyuan was older and had the relationship between master and apprentice in the Huwei Wushu School. He couldn't help but say a few words.

"Everything is peaceful in the capital, what's the problem?"

Wang Tong asked back with a smile when he complained to Li Wenyuan. Li Wenyuan sighed and shook his head and said helplessly:

"Mr. Wang asked again knowingly. Recently, the people who were pursuing Wumingbai outside the city were ordered to retreat. The capital is not good for us! As a military officer, you have left your post without permission. If someone knows, it will be difficult at this time, wouldn't it be troublesome?"

Wang Tong just reached out and pressed it, and said relaxedly:

"Sit first, sit first, wait for the two of them to come."

After the two of them sat down, not long after Lu Wancai rode a horse. After entering the house, he was surprised when he saw Wang Tong. At this time, Li Wenyuan thought of something else. When Wang Tong left the capital, the public security department had just been put on, and he had no power at that time, so it was impossible for him to have any other force.

When we arrived at Tianjin Wei, the power of the Capital Security Department was gradually captured by Zhang Cheng and the other three. Although the Public Security Department had been trying its best to cooperate, there was not much power that really belonged to Wang Tong in the Capital. But today we came to Zhenxing Building silently and informed everywhere, and it seemed that it was not as he thought.

During lunch, Zou Yi rushed over. After entering the house, Zou Yi spoke a little more tactfully than Li Wenyuan before and said:

"Mr. Wang must be cautious at this time. There are so many entourages outside, which makes people pay attention."

Wang Tong didn't talk to a few people, but just nodded to the guards outside the door, and the guards took action to serve them, and the wine and food began to be delivered.

Soon after, the wine and food were all ready, but the top table in Zhenxing Building was very rich, but Lu Wancai and others were even more confused. Wang Tong got up and poured a glass of wine for each of the three of them, then filled it with him, raised his glass and said with a smile:

"This time I came to the capital to congratulate the three of you. Come on, let's drink this cup together!"

When everyone heard Wang Tong talk, they couldn't even touch it. When they were so depressed, they really didn't know where the joy came from, but they drank the wine in the glass out of etiquette.
Chapter completed!
