    ,

    "Bang bang bang bang!"

    The door of the big house in the city was knocked open, and a house slave asked cautiously: "What's the matter, sirs?"

    The official said: "The world is one, and everyone is equal. There is an order in the township that slaves are not allowed. Let us go in quickly, and all the slaves will come to register. All the contracts of sale will be voided, and the slaves can stay as they please. I would like to keep the slaves who work.  , Write clearly the number of years of employment, write clearly the monthly salary!"

    "Master, our family has registered." said the slave.

    "Before, I took the initiative to report to the government. Today is the government's door-to-door inspection. Get out of the way!" the official scolded.

    Five or six official messengers entered the courtyard, and the owner of the house hurried over to greet them.

    An old man took out his money and said with a smile: "Master, the slaves and maidservants at home have reported to the police, and they have been replaced with employment contracts."

    "Take out all the contracts!"

    "Grandpa, wait a moment."

    Not long after, some of the contracts and servants were brought before the leading officials.

    The leading official said: "Write it down, this household bribedhow much?"

    Another official who took the scale said: "A bribe of eight silver coins."

    "The household bribed eight qian, ten times the fine, and eight taels of silver. Quickly take it out!" the official urged.

    "This" The old man began to panic.

    The officer cursed: "Don't you have a brain? In this month, the wharf has killed a civil servant, two military officials, seven second-class government servants, and more than forty people who beat the board. How dare you offer bribes?  You want me to die, don't you?"

    "Don't dare, don't dare, the old man accepts the punishment." The old man hurriedly asked for money to be brought over.

    In private, there must be officials who accept bribes, just like there must be people in the military who have not been found out for corruption.

    But on the bright side, no one dares to be greedy anymore.

    This thing can make meritorious deeds by reporting each other. As long as they make meritorious deeds, they will be promoted soon. Anyway, there is a shortage of manpower everywhere.

    After registering the fine, the contract and servant are verified.

    Several officials rushed into the inner courtyard and began to shout: "Is there any domestic slaves? If you don't register and settle down, you will be a black household vagrant from now on. If you are beaten and killed, the government doesn't care. As long as you register and settle down, your descendants can become officials. Listen.  , As long as you register and settle down, the descendants of domestic slaves can also be officials! Don't think about yourself, but also think about your children and grandchildren!"

    No response.

    An official came to a remote courtyard, and the courtyard was full of firewood.

    "Bang! Bang! Bang!"

    Just when the official was about to leave, there was a sudden burst of noise from a small room where sundries were piled up.

    The official came to open the door, but the door was locked.

    "Whoa! Whoa! Whoa!"

    The official sent immediately blew the bamboo whistle, and other officials rushed over.

    "what happened?"

    "The door is locked, there is movement inside."

    The chief officer turned around and saw that the owners of the house were all frightened.

    "Pry it open!"

    The door was quickly pried open, and there were more than a dozen house slaves locked inside.  Limbs were bound and mouths were gagged.

    The officials were startled, pulled the rag from the mouth of a house slave, and asked, "Why are you imprisoned?"

    The house slave replied: "A few days ago, the master killed a servant with a stick. We are all house slaves in the master's inner courtyard. When he heard that the official came, the master tied us up and hid us."

    "Okay! Grab them and bring them back to the county government office. Don't even think about running away."

    All the officials were surprised and delighted. This is a big case. They have all done meritorious service. Maybe they can be sent to be officials in western Guangdong.

    There are so many pickles by the big family. I wanted to investigate the domestic slaves, but a bunch of cases were found, and the magistrates of Nanhai and Panyu were very busy.

    These officials sent the criminals back to the county government office, but they saw gongs and drums beating on the way.

    A slave sits on a palanquin, with gongs and drums clearing the way ahead, accompanied by suona accompaniment.

    "Boom!"

    Someone rang the gong and shouted loudly: "Congratulations to shopkeeper Lin, congratulations to shopkeeper Lin, once you are free, you will never be a slave forever. Long live Zhao Tianwang!"

    "Crack, clap, clap!"

    Another entourage lit firecrackers, crackling all the way, the scene seemed to be welcoming relatives.

    "Sprinkle money!"

    Sitting comfortably on the palanquin, the slave called shopkeeper Lin ordered his attendants to throw money on the street.

    Many passers-by flocked to pick up money on the ground.

    There was an idler who couldn't squeeze in, so he shouted: "Congratulations to shopkeeper Lin, the children and grandchildren will be rich and honored, and the children and grandchildren will do well."The judiciary officer ordered.

    "Yes." Ordinary officials responded quickly.

    The official of the Department of Anti-corruption took out an official document: "Foshan Xie Shijun, Xie Yunwen and his son bribed Datong military officers 500 taels. With such a bad deed, they refused to repent and bribed 300 taels to Nanhai County Prime Minister. Nanhai County Chancellor has been imprisoned and confessed  , witnesses and material evidence are all there. Xie Shijun, Xie Yunwen and his sons should be arrested and sent to prison immediately, and a trial date will be set for sentencing!"

    Xie Shijun was dragged out and shouted in horror: "I didn't pay bribes, I didn't pay bribes!"

    The ICAC official continued to read: "The servant Xie Chong was instigated by Xie's father and son to bribe, and he was arrested and sent to prison."

    Xie Shijun quickly said: "It was the slave who betrayed the master, and the old man didn't know anything about it!"

    "Whether you know or not, let's talk about it when we arrive at the office of the ICAC." The official of the ICAC sneered.

    Seeing that the Secretary of the Independent Commission Against Corruption had taken the three of them away, the ordinary officials trembled with fright.

    The officials in Guangzhou now call the Secretary of the Integrity "Black Clothes Guard", which is already equivalent to Ming Dynasty's "Bright Clothes Guard".  These guys seem to be everywhere, arresting corrupt officials everywhere, and now they even took away the owner of the Xie family.

    Many wealthy businessmen in Foshan hid at home and dared not go out.

    Their original plan was to cooperate with Zhao Han in everything, and when Zhao Han left Guangzhou, they would knock out the officials with money.

    ?But now the Department of Integrity has suddenly appeared, and the office of the Department of Integrity in Guangzhou has also been officially established.  In the past few days, a group of domestic slaves have also been recruited as spies, making the wealthy businessmen feel insecure, and they always feel that all the servants at home are the eyes of the Secretary of the ICAC.

    Once a bribe is given, at least ten times the fine will be imposed.

    If the bribe exceeds one hundred taels, all the corrupt and bribe-givers will be executed. Several of them have been publicly killed these days.

    The merchants were all terrified, they had never seen anything like this, and they even regretted taking the city and donating it.

    Until this moment, Zhao Han hadn't made it clear what the rules and regulations would be for doing business in the future.

    To govern a group of merchants, do you still need to fight wits and courage?

    First confiscate their firearms, then let them release the slaves, and then what to do with the rest.  Zhao Han was annoyed, so he didn't mind killing a few more, and let the Secretary of the Integrity of Government keep an eye on him from now on.

    By the way, the merchants in Guangzhou are too corrosive. In the future, we will send people from Jiangxi to secretly investigate the Integrity Department in Guangzhou, so as to prevent the merchants from corrupting the Integrity Department.
