Chapter 27 On the Function of Shangjing Yutu
Wing Lok Street,
At the beginning of time,
Really, it was only dawn at this time, and the sky was still a little dark, but now the Yongle Long Street, which is nearly ten miles away, is indeed brightly lit.

With the help of the fire oil that Xie Wenyuan added before, the fire was even more unstoppable, and nearly half of Yongle Street was already engulfed in flames.

The end of the remaining half of the long street was tightly blocked by soldiers in bright armor, even the adjacent streets, or the entrances of ordinary alleys were also stationed.

"Lord Luo, before the officials brought people to Xie Mansion, seven or eight hundred elite cavalry were sent here, plus the guards on the outskirts, it seems that none of these remnants escaped."

Ding Xiu leaned in front of Luo Congee and bowed to report. As Luo Congee expected, those rebellious officials and thieves were not stupid enough to come to Luo Mansion with those dead men to attack and kill him. They basically stayed at home in peace. Fuchu.

Let’s not say that they will only cause trouble if they go together, even if the matter finally comes to pass, they still need to be decent when they plead guilty to His Majesty. , not in the name of rebellion, to punish his nine clans, and to protect his family members.

"Well, it's done well, so it seems that the word "temporary generation" in front of your Nanzhen Fushi will soon be removed."

Luo Congee nodded in satisfaction.

Looking from the back of the horse, there are no less than a thousand people standing on the half of the long street away from the fire, most of them are family members of criminal officials, who have to block the long street because their mansions were burned, and they are all looking anxiously. Watching the soldiers around.

The rest who were not affected by the fire for the time being were hiding in the mansion, but they could still see the uneasiness in their hearts. From time to time, they peeped out a pair of eyes from the crack of the door or the courtyard wall to watch the situation outside.

"Lord Luo..."

Ding Xiu looked at the long street and hesitated to speak.

"Say something straight."

"Reporting to my lord, although most of this place is the house of the rebellious officials and thieves from the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Industry, there are still some mansions of officials who did not participate in this matter are also on Yongle Long Street. The current situation is so chaotic. If you really want to move Hands-on, I’m afraid it’s hard to tell the difference.”

Ding Xiu said worriedly.

"Bring me a map of Beijing."

Luo Congee didn't answer Ding Xiu when he heard the sound,

Instead, after thinking for a moment, he said in a deep voice.

"Lord Luo, please."

Not long after the words were finished, Wang Ruling stood silently behind him and found a map so quickly from nowhere, holding it in front of Luo Congee.

"Lord Luo, please take a look,"

"This is the location of Yongle Street in the city."

Wang Ruling opened the map, and quickly pointed to the location of an extremely wide long street above, and said, as the only remaining old man in Jinyiwei, he used to win people in the city, so he naturally knew the layout of the capital well.

Luo Porridge stared at the map held in Wang Ruling's hands, slightly startled. It was not as crude as imagined ancient maps, but extremely fine.

Even the mountains, rivers and rivers outside the city are clearly marked on the map, and the layout of the streets in Shangjing is detailed. Even an unknown alley can be found on it. Skipping over the layout of the palace in the imperial city, it seems that it was also written by Jin Yiwei.

"Are most of them officials from the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Industry?"

Looking at the mansions marked on the map, Luo Porridge murmured, already thinking in his heart, it is not difficult to find out the heels of the thieves who surrounded and killed him before, after all, there are always traces to follow when so many people act together.

But if you want to subdivide it into each mansion, it is indeed too much trouble, and it is definitely not a day's work, but the current situation can only be cut quickly.

"Bring a pen."

After thinking for a while, Luo Conge drew a pen and drew two circles, one large and one small, on the map. The inner circle surrounded Yongle Street with red ink made of cinnabar, and the outer circle was drawn with black ink. The entire Yongle Long Street is included together with several nearby streets,

"Let's all take a look together."

Luo Porridge handed over the map after drawing it.

"Lord Luo, what do you mean?"

Ding Xiu also came together at this moment, looking at the two large and small circles on the map, he was a little confused.

"Within the black circle, all will be sent to Zhao Prison!"

"Check one by one, no one should be missed!"

Luo Congee said in a low voice.

"Then the red circle?"

Ding Xiu had vaguely guessed something,
There was a slight drop of cold sweat on his forehead.

"Within the red circle, kill without mercy!"

Luo Congee said coldly,
"Sir, this..."

Ding Xiu said with a troubled expression on his face.

"If calculated according to the salary of the imperial court, it would not be enough for them to buy such a luxurious house in Yongle Street, which is an area where every inch of land is expensive."

"I don't know why they can enjoy the bells and lanterns and don't ask the people's sufferings. I don't know where the money in their pockets comes from for such extravagance. I also don't know how many of them participated in it." Kill me."

"Yes, I know that as long as the knife falls,

"No one is wronged!"

Luo Porridge looked at Yongle Long Street and said loudly.

"Ding Xiu, obey the order!"

"I order you to lead the army to kill the remnants of the chaotic party!"

"Anyone who is an official must be punished with his own hands!"

Luo Porridge didn't give Ding Xiu a chance to continue speaking, and directly ordered that the scattered luck values ​​​​of the rest of the family members were still insignificant to him, but many of those officials, big and small, held important positions, and none of them could be left behind.

……

"After today, it's time for other people to think about the consequences of provoking me."

Luo Porridge quietly watched the crowds fleeing in a panic on Yongle Long Street, saw the long knives constantly swinging, watched the heads keep falling, and watched the stinky blood constantly flowing out of the drain, and his mood did not fluctuate too much.

I don't know if it's the numbness of the nerves after killing too many people, or because I'm just a cold-hearted person, or because I'm a bloodthirsty killer.

After two hours,
"Wang Tongzhi, where is it?"

Luo Porridge lost much interest in listening to the more and more sporadic system prompts in his ears, and instead called Wang Ruling who was waiting at the side.

"Lord Luo, tell me!"

Wang Ruling bowed and said.

"How many people live in this Yongle Square?"

Luo Porridge spread out the map in his hand and looked at the huge Shangjing City and asked. In Shangjing City, there are twelve main streets running from north to south, and 120 main streets running from east to west. There are countless alleys and short streets, which are divided into regions. It is [-] Bafang, which is a bit bigger than Chang'an in the previous life.

"Reporting to my lord, Yongle Square is already prosperous, and its population ranks among the top three in Beijing. There are more than 10 registered households, and the number of people is probably no less than [-]."

Wang Ruling said in detail,

"More than a hundred thousand people..."

Luo Congee repeated,
He touched his chin with his fingers, wondering what he was thinking about.

"Let's go and inform that Shangjing Mansion Yi."

Luo Porridge put down his fingers and thought, then pondered.

"According to my investigation, Yonglefang is a lair where rebels gather together. The atmosphere is corrupt, the people's customs are not honest, and accidents are prone to occur. Therefore, within the jurisdiction of Yonglefang, no new markets are allowed to exchange goods; no large-scale construction projects are allowed. Tall buildings; no new roads should be opened, roads should be widened..."

"Only the party of the rebels would reject this official's proposal. I think Lu Fuyi, who has always been loyal, must be deeply hurt by the rebels..."

"My lord, I'm afraid..."

Wang Ruling wiped the cold sweat off her forehead when she heard the sound, but stopped talking, after all, it was related to the future livelihood of more than [-] people and the prospects of the local area.

"Wang Tongzhi, you might as well think about it carefully. Among the people who can live in Yonglefang, which is ranked among the top few in Kyoto, how many ordinary people are there?"

"Perhaps there are some poor people in Yongle Fang, but for them, it may not be a bad thing!"

"As for the rest of the merchants, wealthy households, or officials, they have lived here for a long time, and they are real local snakes. Couldn't there be any clues about that scene, the ambush?"

"If you don't report what you know, you have to pay a price, right?"

"Wang Tongzhi, what do you think?"

Luo Congee asked coldly.

Wang Ruling was sweating profusely when she heard the sound, so she didn't say any more.

"and also……"

"Tomorrow morning, you will go to the garrison to choose a thousand households with a more honest heart, and set up a long-term station in this Yongle square. Every Goulan tile house, restaurant, and shop in the village will be checked one by one..."

"also,"

"Choose a hundred men with vicious faces from the guards, and station them at every entrance in the square with knives. Anyone who comes in or out, regardless of their official position or status, must register them one by one!"

"Officer, take orders!"

After hearing the trembling note of Wang Ruling's bowing and saluting, Wang Ruling couldn't wait to get on his horse and gallop up to the Beijing government yamen.
