Like dragging a dead dog, the North Korean Green Battalion dragged Min Shanchai, who was begging for mercy, and dragged him outside, his hand raised his knife, and a bloody human head rolled to the ground. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

"You people, violating the ban of the imperial court, colluding with false profiteers, and using counterfeit money, this is how it will end!" The leader of the Eight Banners of North Korea pointed to the human head on the ground and roared, "Hang the human head and show it to the public for five days!" ”

Then the North Korean Green Battalion pulled out three more North Korean villagers, all of whom had used counterfeit banknotes worth more than fifty taels of silver, without the slightest mercy, whether it was the North Korean Eight Banners or the North Korean Green Battalion, they were merciless to their compatriots. Three North Korean Green Battalion soldiers raised and fell with their swords, and three heads fell to the ground.

After executing a group of Korean villagers who had "committed the most heinous crimes", openly resisted the imperial court, and used counterfeit money, the leaders of the Eight Banners of North Korea began to arrest people according to the names on the list.

More than two months ago, after the discovery of a fake Qing dragon banknote in North Korea, the Qing court had already made arrangements. First of all, the Jin merchants who jointly established the Daqing Bank with the imperial court began to get busy, and all the men with the ticket numbers of the commercial houses were mobilized, Fan Yubin led people to urgently sort out the warehouse, find out the version of the dragon banknote sent to North Korea, and rushed to make it day and night, copied a number of wood carving versions, and sent them to North Korea with 600 li in an expedited manner, and at the same time, the household department sent tax officials to North Korea.

A large number of Jin merchant ticket numbers also rushed to North Korea, and their task was to cooperate with the household tax envoy to verify the authenticity of the dragon banknotes.

The North Korean peasants still paid taxes as usual, but no one noticed that a group of Qing court household officials disguised as North Korean tax collectors and Jin merchants were mixed in, and under the leadership of the local Korean officials, the household tax envoys and Jin merchants registered the taxes collected, and each name corresponded to the tax paid by this person.

After that, the Jin merchants cooperated with the tax envoy of the household department to identify the dragon banknotes handed over to the tax and found a large number of fake Qing dragon banknotes.

All the banknotes and names are on the same number, the amount of work is huge, the Jin merchants are busy almost prostration, and it turns out that the number of people using counterfeit banknotes is shocking, just in the area of Ping'an Road, more than 30,000 people were found to use counterfeit money.

Most of the North Koreans who use counterfeit banknotes are ordinary farmers, and the amount is not large, except that the taxes paid are mixed with a few counterfeit notes. However, there are still some North Koreans who pay counterfeit money in taxes. Qing court officials and the Eight Banners of Korea carried out investigations, and found that a large number of counterfeit banknotes were brought into Korea by agents of the Tiandihui disguised as grain merchants, and they offered twice the price of the Eight Banners Firms to buy grain from the Koreans, and the money they gave was naturally counterfeit.

The Shengjing general stationed in North Korea, Dadu, was furious, and he issued an order to carry out strict investigations throughout North Korea, and the agents of the Heaven and Earth Society who sent counterfeit money into North Korea must be severely punished.

However, the intelligence source and intelligence transmission speed of the Heaven and Earth Society far exceeded the dispatch speed of the Qing army, and as soon as Dadu's order was issued, the agents of the Heaven and Earth Society knew the news. A large number of agents of the Heaven and Earth Society immediately fled Korea by boat, some went to Tamna Island, which was under the control of Zheng Zheng, and some fled back to Jiangnan, and only a few were captured.

All the captured agents of the Heaven and Earth Society were killed, but only a few were captured after all, and a large amount of grain exchanged for counterfeit money had already been smuggled back to Jiangnan.

After investigation, the Qing court found that a lot of counterfeit banknotes had already flowed into the Korean market, and a large number of wild animals, furs, mountain ginseng, medicinal materials, jewelry, etc. were exchanged from the Koreans.

The losses caused to the Qing court by the pseudo-Qing dragon banknotes were irreparable, and the Qing court could not find a better way than to kill people. So the North Korean counterfeit money case that shocked North Korea happened.

According to the list, the leader of the North Korean Eight Banners pulled out a group of people from the villagers, among which Kim Geun-bo's neighbor Park Ji-min was also on the list, although Park Ji-min used a small amount of counterfeit banknotes, but all the taxes he paid were counterfeit banknotes.

"Park Jimin, are you guilty?" The leader of the North Korean Eight Banners sneered and looked at Park Jimin.

"Spare your life! Spare your life! The grass people really didn't know it was a counterfeit banknote. Park Jimin knelt on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly.

The leader of the North Korean Eight Banners snorted coldly: "You don't know that it's counterfeit money, but you don't know the consequences of selling grain to smugglers without authorization?" This is your sin! Your sins are not unto death, but you are alive. Come! A hundred rods! Send this Diao Min's whole family to Ningguta! ”

Two North Korean green battalion soldiers came up, grabbed Park Jimin, and hit him with heavy wooden sticks, until his skin was open and blood was dripping. And Park Jimin's family was all arrested, and all the things in the house were taken away and confiscated, although there was nothing valuable.

Looking at Park Jimin's end, Kim Geun-bo turned his head and glared at his wife fiercely.

The wife also knows that if her husband does not go to the city, but sells the grain to smugglers, then the fate of Park Jimin's family will be her own fate! After beating a hundred, and then sending it to Ningguta, it is almost nine deaths. And after going there, the female relatives of the family were also humiliated by the flag people.

After dealing with a group of prisoners who were to be sent to Ningguta, the leader of the Eight Banners began to read the list again.

"Jin Genbao!"

Hearing his name, Jin Genbao only felt trembling, like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, but where did he dare to hide, he still stood up honestly, and knelt in front of the leader of the Eight Banners: "The grass people are here, I don't know what the grass people are guilty of?" ”

"Jin Genbao! The taxes you pay are also mixed with counterfeit money! There are counterfeit bills of six taels of silver! According to the laws of the Qing Dynasty, if you use less than 20 taels of counterfeit banknotes, you will be imprisoned for half a year! The Eight Banners said coldly.

"Spare your life! The grass people's grain and mountain goods have always been sold to the Eight Banners Trading House in Pyongyang, and the grass people have never been in contact with the puppet profiteers. Jin Genbao knelt on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly. He knew that if he was beaten with 20 canes and imprisoned for another half a year, he would not want to dig mountain goods in winter, and before the autumn harvest next year, the whole family would not want to eat.

The leader of the Eight Banners smiled coldly: "Jin Genbao, I really don't know about you, the court is open, and those who don't know are not guilty, so let's do it, the official will also be extrajudicial and gracious, and you won't be in prison, you can make up for six taels of silver, and then you can be twenty rods!" ”

Although it is very distressing to take out six taels of silver, if the money is taken out, there will be no grain of rice at home, and it is not enough, and you have to borrow a loan shark to make up for it, but it is much better than sitting in prison for half a year, so Jin Genbao gritted his teeth: "Thank you, sir!" Grass farmers are willing to pay back taxes. ”

The Manchurian, Mongolian and Han Eight Banners carried the Eight Banners of North Korea, and went out everywhere to search and arrest people, and slaughter Koreans with butcher knives. Across the Korean Peninsula, thousands of heads fell to the ground in a matter of days, and many more Koreans were imprisoned, tried, and sent to Ningguta as slaves.
