The eldest grandson of Emperor Ming Dynasty!

Chapter 458 The Shadow of the Prosperous Capital
The recent capital seems to be peaceful on the surface, but in fact, through the sorting out by the Ministry of Criminal Justice, since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, the backlog of cases has reached a new peak.

Everything has two sides. When the Qunying Chamber of Commerce brings prosperity to the capital, a large number of people are also gathering towards the capital.

Especially with the prosperity of chambers of commerce, now that restrictions are gradually being lifted, the floating population alone has increased by at least 50 in the capital this year.

Because of the construction of various factories, such as cement factories, paper mills, printing factories, and the rise of various industries such as winemaking, clothing, textiles, icing, and porcelain.

More and more common people began to change their status as workers.

During the passage of the checkpoint, the original restrictions have become much simpler, which has led to a large number of young and middle-aged people choosing to work in factories in order to seek a stable wage.

Because for workers, Zhu Ying established a protection system and has a minimum monthly salary standard, so compared to farming, it seems that becoming a worker can also support the family.

With the full implementation of the policy of dividing every man into a mu, this has also led to the stimulation of population fertility. Many middle-aged men generally have four or five children, and they are still having children.

Like tenants, in the case of farming for the landlord, the rations are not enough at all. In comparison, they earn more by working.

A large number of tenants began to pour into the nearest factory. As the news spread, more people discovered that the factory on the capital side had more lucrative wages.

If you have some conditions, you can simply travel a hundred miles and come directly to the capital.

Once there are more people, the ingredients will naturally become mixed.

Three teachings and nine streams, and gradually formed a circle on the capital's side.

In just over half a year, underground gangs in the capital have sprung up like mushrooms after rain.

Even Zhu Ying, in today's world, has no good way.

The current population in the capital is close to 300 million.

As for Jin Yiwei and the Department of Public Security, the number is less than [-].

It is impossible to monitor 3 million people with 300 people.

And a large number of Jinyiwei do not undertake to supervise the common people, but only the officials and noble class.

Not to mention the Five Cities Bingma Division.

The only way now is to continuously expand the team of the Department of Public Security.

With the expansion of the Department of Public Security's team, more good and bad people joined in, and even some gang members transformed themselves into patrol officers of the Department of Public Security.

Judicial offices everywhere are already facing a shortage of manpower.

Even if the common people are afraid to report the case, the current situation is that all the judicial offices are queuing up to report the case.

In the early dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang had been angry several times regarding the security of the capital.

Even Yang Jing, Shangshu of the Ministry of punishment, was almost removed for ineffectiveness.

But there is still no way.

The economy of the capital is prosperous, but the literacy rate is still not high.

Workers from all over the country are also divided according to their hometowns, and they form groups one after another.

"Da Sun, it seems that what you said about the law is correct. We need to establish a separate imperial examination and find more talents, so that this chaos can be suppressed."

Zhu Yuanzhang has some headaches recently, because as far as the capital is concerned, the biggest case has already involved court officials.

Just a few days ago, a Beijing official of the eighth grade was killed on the way to the early court.

Although it took only three days, the murderer was caught and beheaded for public display.

But this also means that there are already many daring and desperadoes in the capital.

Zhu Ying replied: "Grandpa, the current capital is in urgent need of a case-solving expert to serve as an example, so it was actually publicized on the residence newspaper to scare Xiaoxiao."

"Grandson was recommended by Zhan Hui, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, to recruit a master case judge in Shanxi, which should be of some use."

"This person is said to be the heir and grandson of Di Renjie in the heyday of the Tang Dynasty. He has the reputation of solving cases like a god."

If you want to curb the misconduct of some lawbreakers, you must first let them have a fear of the law.

Now that there is no monitoring, it is difficult for some criminals to be brought to justice.

There are not a few people who escaped.

Once the sweetness is tasted, committing the crime for the second time becomes a foregone conclusion.

At this moment, characters like Di Renjie from Tang Dynasty and Bao Qingtian from Song Dynasty are very needed.

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and said, "Since it was recommended by Zhan Hui, I think this person must have some talent."

"In terms of selecting officials, Zhan Hui is indeed doing well."

Of course, things like Zhan Hui's compilation of the talent list of Ming officials cannot be hidden from Zhu Yuanzhang.

The reason why Zhu Yuanzhang has always favored Zhan Hui and has never been transferred to other departments is also because of Zhan Hui's actions in the Ministry of Officials, but he is very recognized.

So far, in this area, no one has been found who can replace Zhan Hui.

When Di Yusen came to the capital, Zhu Ying immediately summoned him.

"Chen Di Yusen, I pay my respects to His Royal Highness the Grandson."

In Kunning Palace, Di Yusen knelt down and kowtowed.

Zhu Yingdao: "Get up, give me a seat."

Di Yusen cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, Your Highness."

Zhu Ying sized Di Yusen up and asked, "You know why I called you to the capital."

Di Yusen replied respectfully: "I have a little talent in judging cases. If Your Highness wants to call the minister to the capital, it must be the capital's side, and I need my service."

Zhu Ying smiled and said, "Very good, as expected he is a descendant of Di Renjie, quite confident."

"There are many palaces, so there is no need to say more. Now the capital is becoming more and more prosperous, so that many illegal and law-breaking people have mixed in."

"At present, in the Ministry of Criminal Justice alone, there are already a backlog of major cases. The yamen of the various public security departments, the yamen of the Wucheng Bingma Department, the yamen of Yingtianfu, etc., also have a lot of affairs, and it is extremely difficult to deal with them quickly."

"That's why I now need a master case judge who can shock people's hearts."

"I know your name from Zhan Hui, Minister of the Ministry of Officials. Zhan Shangshu and Ben Gong are among the talents who can solve the case, and you are the best among them, so I hope you will not disappoint me."

"If you can achieve the ability that I expect, the official rewards are only the second. I will publicize your deeds on the capital's residence newspaper."

"Nowadays, the Jingshi Mansion Newspaper is spread all over the Ming Dynasty, and overseas countries are also spending a lot of money to buy it. If you can stand on the Jingshi Mansion Newspaper, you will be famous both at home and abroad."

For literati, or for all people, few people can escape the word fame and fortune.

Di Yusen was in Pingyang Mansion, Shanxi Province, and some files of Xiezhou Xiaxian County Pinlu had been sent over to Zhu Ying long before he arrived in the capital.

Seeing some of the ways of handling the case, Zhu Ying also knew that Di Yusen was indeed a capable person.

However, limited by the fame of the students, it is difficult to have a chance of advancement.

Now Zhu Ying's behavior can be regarded as eclectic downgrading of talents.

As for talents, Zhu Ying didn't bother to say anything about helping justice, and just came up with some practical things.

Di Yusen was extremely excited when he heard the words. All he wanted was here, so there was no need to hesitate.

Immediately got up, knelt down and kowtowed: "Minister Di Yusen, thank you, His Royal Highness, Long En."

"It must be for the stability of the capital, do your best, do your best, and die."

Zhu Yingdao: "You don't have to be too happy too early. I will say the ugly words first. If you don't have much merit after taking office, don't blame me for not being able to fulfill your promise."

"I don't want to listen to any big talk, and I don't want those empty words. If you really have the ability, then use your ability to talk to me."

"Here in this palace, it doesn't matter what your background is, nor do you pay attention to things like the Four Books and Five Classics, as long as you can do things well, naturally this palace will not treat you badly."

These words calmed Di Yusen's boiling heart a little.

However, Di Yusen has his own pride in his ability to solve cases.

Although he is only the official history of Pinglu County, the cases he has handled are not limited to Pinglu County.

Other counties, even Pingyang Prefecture, have asked him to help solve cases.

Many complicated cases were easily solved in his hands, and the truth came to light.

If not, otherwise, he would not have entered Zhan Hui's list.

Di Yusen clasped his hands and replied: "I understand that I will definitely not disappoint His Highness the Grandson."

Zhu Ying nodded and said, "Since you are entrusted with such a heavy responsibility, you will naturally not be asked to investigate those civil cases. Most of the cases you are responsible for are difficult murder cases."

"Now that you have just arrived in the capital, you have no achievements yet, and it is difficult to convince the public that you have reached a high position all of a sudden, so you should take the post of magistrate of the capital first."

The responsibilities of Jingxian Cheng are similar to those of other counties. He is in charge of arrests and the ability to solve cases.

Compared with other places, it seems that they are only the top seven grades. In places like the capital, they are pitifully small, but in fact, the officials are small and powerful.

After a slight pause, Zhu Ying took out a token from his bosom and asked Guo Zhong, the eunuch who held a pen beside him, to give it to him.

"The capital's handling of cases is unusual. In some places, there are quite a lot of constraints. But what I want is that you can not fear power and stick to your heart."

"This command talisman, I will leave it to you for the time being. With this command talisman, you can mobilize the Beijing Division of Public Security and Jin Yiwei to assist in handling the case, and you can also inquire about the household registration of the household department. If you encounter any difficult or serious matters, you can also You can directly enter the palace and ask for help from this palace."

"Since I believe in you, I will help you a lot in other aspects."

At this time, Zhu Ying had actually received some information about the Qunying Chamber of Commerce.

Under the temptation of huge interests, many nobles in the capital have secretly colluded with some underground forces to seek huge profits.

The occurrence of cases is often not due to personal grievances, but more likely to be due to entanglement of interests.

Then when Di Yusen was handling the case, he couldn't avoid these noble families.

Therefore, in order to really handle the case well, Zhu Ying must stand for him.

Di Yusen, who walked out of the palace, was a little confused at the moment.

Looking at the Taisun Token Talisman in his hand, he pinched himself fiercely, feeling the pain, and only then did he truly understand that what happened just now was all true.

"I was really valued by His Highness the Grandson, and I became the seventh-rank prime minister of Jing County in no time." '

At this moment, Di Yusen still felt like he was dreaming. The happiness came so suddenly that he didn't realize it all at once.

"Lord Di, your appointment is a special gift from His Royal Highness, and the official seal of the government should be filed by the Ministry of Officials, and it will not be delivered until tomorrow."

"However, the Chengfu of Jingshi County has already been arranged. When do you want to move in, I can arrange some servants here."

The accompanying eunuch said kindly at the side.

Being able to be summoned by His Royal Highness the Grandson in person is not something eunuchs like them can afford to provoke. When speaking, they are extremely polite, even with a hint of flattery.

When Di Yusen heard the words, he regained his composure, cupped his hands and said, "I have Mrs. Lao, and my wife is still in the restaurant. If possible, I would like to stay today, so that I can have a home."

The eunuch quickly said: "Of course it can be done, I will arrange it for Master Di immediately."

Under the arrangement of the eunuch, Di Yusen got into the carriage and walked all the way to the entrance of the restaurant where he stayed before.

Di Yusen, who got off the carriage, couldn't help but trot all the way to the door of the room.

"Lixue, open the door quickly, I'm the one who's back."

Qin Lixue, who heard the noise inside the room, got up and opened the door quickly, and saw Di Yusen's happy expression, and asked quickly: "How about seeing His Highness Grandson when my husband enters the palace, but His Highness Grandson values ​​it."

"Has His Royal Highness conferred an official? Is it an official of a certain rank, or is he still in charge of investigating the case?"

Facing the successive questions, Di Yusen couldn't help but look a little smug.

"It's said in the room, let me drink some tea first."

After entering the room, he picked up the teapot and poured it directly into his mouth.

Seeing this, Qin Lixue couldn't help saying, "You have all gone to the palace, so it's possible that you didn't even have a sip of tea?"

Gollum.

Di Yusen gulped it down, wiped his mouth and said, "That's His Royal Highness, I don't have the heart to drink tea."

"Only by that momentum, it's so overwhelming that I can't breathe."

"It is rumored that His Royal Highness Taisun came back from the dead and was blessed by the heavens. As expected, the rumors are true. Even if I take a look at it, I feel a little panicked."

Recalling the figure and appearance of His Highness the Grandson, Di Yusen sighed in his heart.

Years of adjudicating cases made him pay little attention to the details, and he has his own way of knowing people.

With just one glance, he can conclude that His Royal Highness Taisun seems to be peaceful and friendly, but in fact there is a hidden danger, which is even more terrifying than those other desperadoes.

Even the executioner who was in charge of the execution was not so strong with the evil spirit tainted on his body.

Qin Lixue heard the words and couldn't help but said: "Could it be that you were scared by yourself? Your Highness is pampered and pampered. How could you call him a murderer? No matter how you say it, His Highness can't be good at martial arts."

"Don't tell me, His Royal Highness is still a master of martial arts."

Di Yusen smiled wryly and said, "It's not just a martial arts master. It is said that His Highness Taisun has been doing business in the Western Regions before, and managed a huge power from scratch."

"Places like the Western Regions are in chaos and beyond the law. They are a hundred times more vicious than Daming. How can His Highness the Grandson be easy to rise in those places?"
