Chapter 1119 Great Cleanup
Chapter 1117: Great Cleanup
The anti-traitors in Bingbei had no signs in advance, but they came quickly and went quickly.
It took only one day for the Black Ice Platform to arrest the Qiao family in Yanmen and the Chang family in Taiyuan, thirty-one Shanxi merchant families and four ordinary families.
After investigation, ten families were arrested, a total of 45 families of all sizes were arrested.
Forty-five families, this is not a small number, it has nearly one-fifth of the total number of Shanxi merchant families, which has caused all Shanxi merchants to jump.
Shanxi merchants were greedy and had no bottom line. While enjoying the huge benefits brought to them by the Jin army, they also wanted to gain greater benefits, and even betrayed the entire nation for this reason.
Greed blinded the eyes of these Shanxi merchants, making them blindly believe in the power of Yuan Meng, but ignored that the Jin army was actually very powerful.
How powerful is the Jin army?
As strong as Yuan Meng, he must use the hands of merchants to plot against the Jin army in order to be sure to defeat the Jin army;
The Jin army was so powerful that when they really attacked the Shanxi merchants, they had no strength to fight back, and could only surrender and wait for death.
The Shanxi merchants far overestimated their position and thought that the Jin army could no longer live without them, so Qin Wen would never dare to attack them, but they did not know that they had already touched Qin Wen''s reverse scale.
The Qin family is from a merchant family, and few people know merchants better than Qin Wen. He gave Shanxi merchants huge wealth, but he did not give them the force to protect their wealth, just to prevent these greedy merchants from fighting back on themselves.
The Jin army can protect the wealth of the Shanxi merchants, and can also recover their wealth and wealth and lives.
As Qin Yijue said, these Shanxi merchants were just pigs raised by the Jin army. After being fattened, if they were good, they could still survive. If they were not good, they would just take them out and slaughter them and eat meat.
Hei Bingtai arrested one-fifth of Shanxi merchants at one time, which also made those Shanxi merchants who did not commit any crimes panic all day long, because these people were not absolutely clean, and the arrest was not over, and no one knew whether the Jin army would kick open its door.
Although this arrest started with Shanxi merchants, it was not only targeted by Shanxi merchants, but also targeted all traitors who colluded with Yuan and Meng. Therefore, the arrest of forty-five Shanxi merchant families was just the beginning, and the purge was still proceeding in an orderly manner.
Soon, the Great Purge affected all walks of life from the business world, and countless people were arrested, and eventually involved the political circle, and even the Qin family itself.
In the provincial governor''s mansion, Qin Wen trembled and looked at the report in his hand, and said angrily: "How dare they, how dare they?"
The report reads: Two county magistrates, five county magistrates, six county magistrates, and one county magistrate...
"Catch all the more you catch, and check them strictly, investigate them strictly, and investigate them strictly." Qin Wen shouted angrily.
In recent years, due to physical reasons, Qin Wen relaxed his control over the political circle, but he did not expect that because of his negligence, the political circle of the Jin army would be corrupt to this extent.
Qin Wen''s scalp was numb after accepting bribes, covering up Shanxi merchants, dereliction of duty, etc.
Where did the Yanmen Army, who was once the administration of Qingming Festival, did not close their doors at night and did not pick up their leaves on the road? Just because he changed his name and became the Jin army, were all the fine traditions thrown out to feed the dogs?
Qin Wen only felt that his heart was bleeding, and he felt sad for the Jin army he had formed. Obviously, there are many Jin army officials who are incompatible with Shanxi merchants. After all, if the officials do not collude with them, how could the merchant have such courage? However, it is useless for Shanxi merchants to bribe all the officials.
The Jin army implemented a policy of separation of military and political affairs. The army did not interfere in politics and did not obscene the army. Officials did not mobilize the power of the army. Therefore, once evidence was found, any official would have to be arrested.
The only two things that Qin Wen was pleased with this great purge were that among these officials involved in the case, none of them had a county magistrate level or above. As for the military, only one county magistrate was involved.
This shows that Qin Wen’s management in the military is still excellent. No matter how corrupt and dirty the political and business world are, the military still maintains the purity of the military and is not polluted by the dark and dirty political and business world.
"Enjoyed Father, among the people involved in the case this time, there are many people from my Qin family, as well as some of the confidants around my adopted mother..."
As he said that, Qin Yijue glanced at Qin Wen''s face and asked carefully: "Are these people?"
Qin Yijue didn''t finish his words, but Qin Wen already understood what she meant, and his face suddenly became extremely bad.
Qin Wen had long guessed that many people in his family were not clean, even the same people around his wife. He originally thought he could make up his mind, but when he really reached this point, he still felt a little embarrassed.
"Grasp."
Qin Wen took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "No matter who colludes with Yuan Meng, he will be arrested."
Qin Yijue sighed slightly when he heard this, and now his family can''t escape.
"Report, report to the lord, Hao Tong and Sima Fang, two adults, came to ask for a meeting with each other, wearing a thorn."
Qin Wen was shocked when he heard this and hurried out to meet him. Sure enough, he saw his confidants Hao Tong and Sima Fang, who were exposed with their upper body and covered with thorns.
"Why are you? Get up quickly."
Qin Wen pulled the two of them and said, "I have heard about the affairs of the Hao family and the Sima family. My Qin family is the same. There are many people in the big clan, so it is normal for a few scum to have a few scums. It has nothing to do with you."
Although Hao Tong and Sima Fang were upright officials, they could not control the people in the family. This time, many people were arrested in the Hao family and the Sima family, including many of them, including the core brothers in the family. So the two of them came together to apologize.
Hao Tong and Sima Fang refused to get up. Sima Fang said, "We have managed ourselves well, but we have not managed our family well. We are really untrustful of our lords. Please punish us for the crime of not being strict in our lords."
"In order to return the Qingming Festival to the Jin army, Hao Tong was willing to go to prison to shock a group of sluts."
Hao Tong said with a serious look on his face. After hearing this, Sima Fang, who was standing beside him, his cheeks twitched and thought to himself: Hey, this is different from what he said when he came. Isn’t it a bit too much to play?
Qin Wen knew that in order to support his own purge, he was willing to go to prison to deter all other officials. He immediately said with a touching look on his face: "Wen Ding will live up to your hard work."
"The person who came, Hao Tong and Sima did not say anything under the defense. They were sentenced to prison and reflected on one month, and were sentenced to one year."
"Thank you lord to make it happen."
