Chapter 344 Heavy Punishment
Chapter 344 Heavy Punishment
Zhang Shirong's guess was correct. Those three strong men were here to cause trouble. They aggressively grabbed the honest people who complained and wouldn't let go. Even though the people had retreated out of fear, they still couldn't escape their pushing and insulting. The scene was chaotic, and ordinary people who were queuing up to shop retreated to the street corners for fear of being affected.
Zhu Youjian was not a master of calculations, but he guessed that the chamber of commerce, aristocratic clans, and Donglin Party members might retaliate and cause trouble, so he ordered Tian Boguang, commander of the Jinyi Guards, to send more people to patrol the streets and secretly protect the small businessmen who were open for business.
Coincidentally, there was a team of Jin Yiwei patrolling near this street. Zhang Shirong asked a shop assistant to run to the Jin Yiwei to call the police. Only after running a few dozen steps, he saw the Jin Yiwei patrolling not far away and immediately called the police.
As soon as Xiaoqi, the Jinyiwei leader who was leading the team, heard that someone called the police, he immediately led several of his men to rush to arrest the person.
The Commander-in-Chief has said that as long as the person causing trouble is caught, it will be considered as merit, even if he cannot be promoted, the bonus will definitely be indispensable.
Money is motivation. If you can follow the clues and find out the person behind the scenes, a small credit may turn into a big credit. Everyone is holding back their energy to make contributions.
The three strong men were still making trouble. They didn't expect the Jin Yiwei to arrive so quickly. When they saw several Jin Yiwei running towards them in a menacing manner, they were all startled and stopped quickly.
A person's name, a tree's shadow, Jinyiwei's fierce reputation, who is not afraid?
However, they were not too worried because the benefactor who provided the money had said that it was just a minor friction and Jin Yiwei would not care about it and had no power to do so. The person responsible for maintaining law and order was the police officer. Even if he was arrested, he would be sent to the county jail. , as long as they are beaten to death and do not confess, someone will naturally help them come out.
"Come on, take down these three spies of the Qing Dynasty for me." Xiaoqi, the leading guard of the Qing Dynasty, held a revolver and pointed at the three strong men who were making trouble and ordered.
A Qing spy?
The three brawny men who were making trouble were dumbfounded. With the top hats off, the Jin Yiwei had the power to arrest people.
"Sir, please forgive me, I am not a spy of the Qing Dynasty..."
The three strong men were frightened and quickly knelt down to beg for mercy. It was rumored that people who entered Jinyiwei's prison always went in vertically and came out horizontally. It was so terrible. They were still young and didn't want to die.
These fierce-looking Jin Yiwei didn't care so much. They directly took out ropes and tied people tightly, and blocked their mouths with smelly rags picked up from nowhere.
"Fathers and fellow villagers, it's okay, it's okay. Don't worry, please wait in line to shop. As long as someone causes trouble, just call the police. Jinyiwei will bring those bad guys to justice."
The Jinyiwei Xiaoqi hugged him and comforted him, and then escorted the three brawny men who made trouble back to the Jinyiwei official office to claim credit.
The people around him breathed a sigh of relief, but they all had a strange feeling in their hearts. Aren't the Jin Yiwei very bad and terrible? How could they do good things and help ordinary people like them?
When the Jinyiwei Xiaoqi happily escorted the three brawny men who made trouble back to the Jinyiwei official office, they found that the official office was already overcrowded. Many people were escorted back by various groups patrolling the streets, and they were happily asking The commander is asking for credit and rewards.
Tian Boguang, the commander of the Jinyiwei, counted the people who were arrested for causing trouble and found that there were thirty-five people. He immediately arranged for manpower to be interrogated.
Most of these strong men were gangsters. They usually bullied honest ordinary people. But when they entered Jinyiwei's prison, they were so frightened that they cried and confessed before Jinyiwei could torture them.
Although the person confessed, it was of no use. They all took money from the benefactor to cause trouble. As for the identity of the benefactor, he didn't know anything about it when asked. Tian Boguang was so angry that he beat up a few unlucky guys. Then he entered the palace and secretly played to the emperor.
"All of them will be distributed to the mining areas." Zhu Youjian thought for a long time before saying. His original idea was to label these thirty-five unlucky people as spies of the Qing Dynasty, and then drag them all to the market entrance to have their heads chopped off, but he wanted to I thought I changed my mind.
As for waste utilization, the mining area requires a lot of free labor. Thirty-five strong men can supplement some labor and save some money. The emperor's family does not have any surplus food.
Besides, cutting off their heads will actually make them die happily. Sent them to hard labor in the mining area is more painful than killing them. In the mining area, they don't have enough to eat, they have to do heavy work day and night, and they have to be whipped by the supervisor. , life is really worse than death.
Those who are weak cannot survive one year, but those who can survive three years are those who are so lucky that even King Yama does not want to accept them. However, the final outcome is still death in the mine.
No one comes out of the mine alive.
