Chapter 1120 Jia Yu is imprisoned


    Chapter 1118: Jia Yu is imprisoned


    The news that Hao Tong and Sima Fang were detained and imprisoned shocked the entire Bingbei officialdom.


    The officials who were arrested before were not of high rank, and the highest was only the county magistrate. Sima Fang was a close minister around Qin Wen, and Hao Tong even followed the minister of the dragon who followed Qin Wen since the Yanmen Pass era.


    These two political leaders have been punished and imprisoned for reflection, which shows how strong the purge is.


    After Hao Tong and Sima Fang, an unexpected person was imprisoned. She was Qin Wen''s only wife, the mistress Jia Yu.


    "Madam, most of the Shanxi merchants are still clean, and those Shanxi merchants who defected to Yuan and Meng are themselves willing to degenerate and have nothing to do with you. You don''t have to blame yourself." Qin Wen advised with a wry smile.


    "No."


    Jia Yu was not grateful and said with a serious expression: "I am in charge of all the business of the Qin family, but I am unable to strictly investigate all the Shanxi merchants, so that there have been so many rebellions. I am unable to explain this. Please ask my husband to imprison me to be punished with justice."


    "Madam, this incident has nothing to do with you no matter how you look at it. Who knows that those families are so heartless..."


    Qin Wen was still trying to persuade him, but Jia Yu looked determined and sighed, "Madam, why are you doing this?"


    "In order to return the Jin army''s officials to the Qingming Festival, I am willing to go to prison and ask my husband to fulfill his wish."


    Looking at the determined wife, Qin Wen was also extremely shocked, because neither Hao Tong, Sima Fang, nor his wife Jia Yu were trying their best to eliminate the disasters of the Jin army, but these disasters were caused by his indulgence.


    “Huh…”


    Qin Wen vomited a long breath, and held Jia Yu up with tears in his eyes, and smiled and said, "With this wife, what else can the husband ask for?"


    "Come, I''ll put my wife in jail and reflect on me."


    So, after Hao Tong and Sima Fang, even the mistress Jia Yu was imprisoned and reflected on her, which caused a gust of wind and waves in the entire Bingbei officialdom.


    For a time, all the officials of the Jin army were panicked, fearing that they would also be on the list of lord Qin Wen''s purge.


    Everyone knows that Hao Tong, Sima Fang, and even the mistress Jia Yu are all innocent, but even so, they are still severely punished. So what if they really commit a crime? I''m afraid there will be a day to turn things around!


    In just five days, all the people involved in the case were arrested. Of course, it was not because all the crimes were arrested, but because they could not continue to arrest them.


    There are too many people arrested now. Apart from Shanxi merchants, they involve all walks of life, and even the military and political system has not been spared.


    If you continue to capture, more people will definitely be involved. At that time, the Yuan army may be in chaos before it can be fought.


    Therefore, after confirming that 95% of the rebels had been arrested and brought to justice, Qin Wen stopped the open cleaning in time. As for the secret search, of course, it will never stop.


    The great purge was finally over, which also made everyone feel relieved, but the storm still did not pass because the next trial is crucial.


    There were as many as 45 Shanxi merchant families arrested this time. The fewer were arrested in each family, and the fewer were more than a dozen, and the more even nearly a hundred, with two or three thousand people in total. Nearly a thousand people were arrested and killed during the arrest.


    The business community alone arrested 3,000 people, while there were nearly 1,000 people involved in the case, including military and political circles, and a total of 4,000 people were arrested.


    Among these 4,000 people, there will definitely be people who were wrongly accused and wrongly arrested. Many people even did not commit any crimes themselves and were arrested just because they were implicated by their families. But in this special period, it doesn’t matter whether they were wrongly accused. Regardless of whether these people commit crimes or not, they will only be found guilty in the end. Who makes the rebels among them? It’s just that the severity of the conviction will be different.


    Of course, Qin Wen could not kill all four thousand people who were in danger of rebellion, as this would inevitably stain his perfect reputation.


    In the end, Qin Wen ruled that he would directly execute him in Jinyang City. The three realms of business, politics and military led by Qiao and Chang, totaling 1,000 core rebels.


    As for the other three thousand people, whether they were wronged, implicated, or unaware of the situation, they all became slaves or official chickens for life and would never be hired.


    Among the person executed, there were also sixteen brothers of the Qin surname, more than fifty officials of the Jin army, and nearly a hundred lower-level and senior officials of the Qin family caravan.


    Originally, Qin Wen wanted to hand over the Qiao family to Qin Prosecutor''s handling, but after seeing the various evidences of the Qiao family, Qin Wen couldn''t help it for a moment and directly ordered the execution of the Qiao family.


    On the day of the execution, Jinyang City surrounded the people. After all, there were many tyrants and corrupt officials. Since the establishment of the Jin army, it is unique to execute thousands of people at one time.


    Qin Wen personally supervised the beheading, and with his order, thousands of people were cut off their heads amid the sound of regret and begging for mercy, but the people all shouted happily.


    With the thousands of heads falling to the ground and the jail-in reflection of Jia Yu and three others, all officials in the Jin Dynasty were extremely awe of corruption and collusion between officials and businessmen.


    In a short period of time, the administration of the Jin army was quickly restored, and the Qingming Festival reached a near-extreme state. No official dared to break the law. The entire Bingbei seemed to have returned to the Yanmen Army era.


    ————


    At the same time, Yang Ye of Ningxia County and Wang Meng of Yinchuan County also joined forces to convective Murong Ke who flew into Ningxia County.


    Although Yang Ye and Wang Meng had a force of up to 100,000 after the round, they were all cavalry in the face of Murong Ke''s 70,000 army, and Murong Ke never stayed in the place for a long time, so that Wang Meng and Yang Ye''s several encirclement and suppression operations had already returned in vain before they even started.


    "This Murong Ke is really difficult." Yang Ye said gritting his teeth.


    "Report to the general, Murong Ke led his army eastward."


    When the generals heard this, they were all shocked. The east side was in Taiyuan, and the lord was in Jinyang, the capital.


    The generals of the Jin army suspected at first that Murong Ke was just making a fool of himself. On the surface, he wanted to attack Taiyuan, but in fact his goal was Zhenbei Pass, but now it seems that the real goal of the Yuan army should be Taiyuan Jinyang.


    "Governor, the lord''s security must not make any mistakes. The last general believes that he should go and block the Yuan army from advancing eastward." Luo Yi said with a serious face.


    Yang Ye looked at the sand table and marked the location of the enemy and our army. He thought to himself that it was still time to block this distance, and immediately ordered: "The whole army marched west..."


    “Governor, please wait.”


    Wang Meng quickly stood up and said, "It is too early to conclude Murong Ke''s true purpose with this."
