Chapter 1117: The Great Purge

And the hoeing operation in the north, without any warning in advance, came quickly, and went quickly.

It only took one day for the Black Ice Platform to arrest the Yanmen Qiao family, led by the Taiyuan Chang family, thirty-one Jin merchant families and four ordinary families.

After the investigation, 10 more families were arrested, and a total of 45 large and small families were arrested.

Forty-five families, this is not a small number, it already accounts for nearly one-fifth of the total number of Jin merchant families, which can give all Jin merchants a jump.

The Jin merchants were greedy and had no bottom line, they enjoyed the huge benefits brought to them by the Jin army, but on the other hand, they still wanted to obtain greater benefits, and even betrayed the entire nation for this.

Greed blinded the eyes of these Jin merchants, making them blindly believe that Yuan Meng was powerful, but ignoring that the Jin army was actually very powerful.

How strong was the Jin army?

is as strong as Yuanmeng, and must also use the hands of merchants to calculate the Jin army, in order to defeat the Jin army with confidence;

The Jin army was so strong that when they really attacked the Jin merchants, they Jin merchants had no power to fight back, so they could only be captured and killed.

The Jin merchants far overestimated their positioning, thinking that the Jin army could not do without them, so Qin Wen definitely didn't dare to do anything to them, but they didn't know that they had already touched Qin Wen's scales.

The Qin family is from a family of merchants, few people know merchants better than Qin Wen, he gave the Jin merchants huge wealth, but did not give them the force to protect the wealth, just to prevent these greedy businessmen from attacking themselves.

The Jin army could protect the wealth of the Jin merchants, and they could also recover their wealth and net worth.

Just as Qin Yijue said, these Jin merchants are just pigs raised by the Jin army, and after fattening, if they are good, they can still live, if they are not good, they will be directly pulled out and slaughtered to eat meat.

Hei Bingtai arrested one-fifth of the Jin merchants at one time this time, which also made those Jin merchants who did not commit crimes panic all day long, because these people are not absolutely clean, and the arrest operation is not over, no one knows whether the Jin army will kick open the door of their house.

Although this arrest was started by the Jin merchants, it was not only against the Jin merchants, but also against all the traitors who colluded with the Yuan Meng, so the arrest of forty-five Jin merchant families was only the beginning, and the purge was still going on in an orderly manner.

Soon, the Great Purge spread from the business world to all walks of life, and countless people were arrested, and eventually it involved the political circles and even the Qin family itself.

In the state pastor's mansion, Qin Wen trembled and looked at the report in his hand, and said angrily: "How dare they, how dare they? ”

I saw that the report wrote: At present, two county officials have been arrested, five county commanders, six county officials, and one county lieutenant......

"Arrest as many as you want, all of them will be arrested for me, strictly investigated, strictly investigated, strictly investigated." Qin Wen shouted angrily.

In the past few years, because of his health, Qin Wen has relaxed his control over the political circles, but he didn't expect that because of his negligence, the Jin army's political circles would be corrupted to this point.

accepting bribes, shielding Jin merchants, and dereliction of duty...... and so on, Qin Wen's scalp was numb when he watched it.

Where is the Yanmen army that used to rule Qingming, never close the door at night, and never leave the road behind? Just because it changed its name to become the Jin Army, all the fine traditions were thrown out to feed the dogs?

Qin Wen only felt that his heart was dripping blood, and he felt sad for the Jin army he had formed with his own hands.

Obviously, there are not a few Jin military officials who are in the same stream as the Jin merchants, after all, if the officials do not collude with the merchants, how can the merchants have such great courage? However, it is useless for Jin Shang to buy off all the officials.

The Jin army implemented a policy of separating the military from the government, the army did not interfere in politics and did not interfere with the army, and officials did not have the power to mobilize the army, so once evidence was found, any official had only one way to be arrested.

The only thing that pleased Qin Wen in this purge was that among the officials involved in the case, none of them were officials at or above the county guard level, and as for the army, only one county lieutenant was involved.

It can also be seen that Qin Wen's management of the army is still excellent, no matter how erosive and filthy the political and business circles are, the army still maintains the purity of the soldiers, and is not polluted by the dark and dirty politics and business.

"Father-in-law, among the people involved in the case this time, there are many people from my Qin family, as well as some cronies around my stepmother......"

Saying that, after Qin Yijue glanced at Qin Wen's face, he cautiously asked, "Are these people too?" ”

Qin Yijue didn't finish his words, but Qin Wen had already understood what she meant, and his face suddenly became extremely bad.

Qin Wen had already guessed that there were also many people in his family whose hands and feet were not clean, even the people around his wife, he originally thought that he could be ruthless, but when he really got to this point, he couldn't help but feel a little dilemma.

"Catch."

Qin Wen took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "No matter who it is, as long as they collude with Yuan Meng, they will be able to catch it." ”

Qin Yijue sighed slightly in his heart when he heard this, and his family couldn't run away now.

"Report, the lord of Qiqi, Hao Tong and Sima Fang, two adults, came to see him wearing thorns."

Qin Wen was shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly went out to meet him, and sure enough, he saw his henchmen Hao Tong and Sima Fang, who were exposed and covered in thorns.

"Why are you doing this, get up quickly."

Qin Wen pulled the two of them and said: "The affairs of the Hao family and the Sima family, Ben Hou has already heard about it, and my Qin family is the same, there are many people in the big clan, and it is normal for a few scum to come out, this has nothing to do with you." ”

Although Hao Tong and Sima Fang are upright officials, they can't control all the people in the family, and this time the Hao family and the Sima family were also arrested by many people, including many core brothers in the family, so there was a scene where the two came together to take the blame.

Hao Tong and Sima Fang refused to get up, Sima Fang said: "I have managed myself well, but I have not managed my own family, I really have the trust of the lord, please treat me and others for the crime of lax care." ”

"In order to return my Jin army officials to rule Qingming, Hao Tong is willing to go to prison to deter a group of Xiaoxiao."

Hao Tong said with a straight face, and after Sima Fang on the side heard it, his cheeks couldn't help twitching, and he said in his heart: Hey, this is different from what I said when I came, isn't it a little too big?

Qin Wen knew that these two people were willing to go to prison in person to deter all the other officials in order to support their purge, and immediately said with a touched face: "Wen Ding lives up to your hard work. ”

"Come on, Hao Tong and Sima didn't say anything under the defense, and the two of them were specially punished for one month in prison for reflection and one year of punishment."

"Thank you, my lord."
