Chapter 4 The Truth (4)
Zhu Yinglong's words were soon fulfilled. Although Ma Jie rarely manages prison affairs on weekdays, it does not mean that he has forgotten his responsibilities. On the contrary, every move in the prison is under his surveillance. Cao Yongzuo's little move cannot be hidden from his eyes. Moreover, this internal small interest group cannot be banned. This has been proved for thousands of years. As long as Cao Yongzuo does not make too much trouble, he will turn a blind eye. As for Cao Yongzuo's position, it is simply impossible. He knows this better than anyone else.
Perhaps Yang He, the Minister of Justice who recommended Cao Yongzuo to the First Prison, did not know that the talent he recommended actually had this almost whimsical idea.
The full name of the Imperial Guard is the Imperial Guard. The commander is Zhou Huaian. The Imperial Guard is also known as the Imperial Guard. There are six brigades in total, each brigade has 1,200 people. Three brigades take turns to be responsible for the daily defense of the Forbidden City. One brigade is stationed in the First Prison, and two brigades rotate on duty. In addition to the logistics support and service, medical and miscellaneous chores, the Imperial Guard has been established in more than 8,000, and it is also the most elite division besides the new Beijing Army. Although they lack combat experience, they do not take on combat tasks for many years and are only responsible for defense. However, they are all Geng Zhong men and well-trained. The First Prison in Beijing is detained either as a serious criminal or a key criminal. There are many unknown secrets. The Imperial Guard is responsible for its defense.
It's just right. In addition, the adjacent garrisons and the combination of inside and outside, the safety of the prison is like an iron bucket, as solid as a soup, so Zhu Yinglong was not worried about how much energy anyone would have. The prison inside and outside would rob the prison prisoners. What he was most worried about was collusion between inside and outside, causing some secrets or criminals to escape. Therefore, not only was the management extremely strict, but it was "harsh", but the punishment for internal thieves was more than three times heavier. However, no matter how severe the management was, no matter how heavy the punishment was, it would be impossible to achieve perfection, especially for people. Everyone had different desires. Unless some inhumane methods were used, there would be no step of "the water was clear and there would be no fish". No one has been able to do this in ancient times.
This also fits the objective truth that "the times are developing and people are constantly improving", after all, human wisdom is endless.
The Wuwei sect, who had been mixed into the First Prison, was led by a man named Wu Liuqi. Wu Liuqi had some reputation among these craftsmen. He was originally a royal craftsman, and he was also a craftsman, and he had a lot of salary from the court. Originally, there was no need for a craftsman like him to come to a project that had almost no technical content like the construction of a prison. However, the court stopped the construction of the imperial palace and many royal houses. A large number of royal craftsmen had no work to do. Ordinary craftsmen could find work on their own. However, the project of ordinary people like Wu Liuqi was useless. Besides, there were not many people who could ask for it. The second phase of the First Prison started, and a large number of craftsmen were required. It was said that "the snake could not do without a head", and it was also necessary to divide the work and cooperation of craftsmen familiar with civil engineering. Wu Liuqi was a royal craftsman, so he was naturally appointed as one of the six major promotion officials for the project.
But no one knew that the ancestors of the Wu family would have something to do with the rebellious Lan family. Although Emperor Taizu had been imprisoned and implicated thousands of people, he missed a family with the surname Wu. The person named Wu was a stonemason. Lan Yu saved his life when he was conquered the west. Later, he was joined by the army and was incorporated into the craftsmen. He was also known as the seventh-rank craftsman. Under the hereditary craftsmanship, the Wu family almost produced a craftsmanship for generations until it was passed down to Wu Liuqi.
