The end of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 284 Luoyang Pingding

Apart from mentioning the Guizhou, it is said that the rebel forces in Luoyang City have basically calmed down, and Luoyang City has been filled with the black terror of raiding homes and arresting people for several days in a row. Many large and small officials were arrested one after another, and their relatives failed to escape this disaster. According to the ancient criminal law, rebellion was a major crime to kill the nine clans.

The list and families of the rebels arrested this time, as well as the official positions, have been delivered from Luoyang to Liu Xia. The dense words on it made Liu Xia take a breath. This time, there are more people and a wide range of rebellions than ever before.

From the population who were first arrested, they were constantly recruited from other cities, so the people of the investigation office and the dragon group once again went to other prefectures, prefectures and counties for large-scale arrests. As a result, there are more and more people, just like snowballing.

"Bang!"

Liu Xia slapped the list on the table angrily and shouted angrily, "Since you are unfaithful, don't blame me for being unkind. This time, all the people involved, together with the nine clans, were arrested. After I solved the matter here, I personally beheaded them!"

Liu Xia was angry, and the generals and ministers on both sides did not dare to speak and move. Where has the good mood of winning the battle just now has been thrown away?

"I think I am kind to the generals and ministers under my command, but there are still so many rebels and traitors. Humph, is this the spirit of our Chinese nation? Is it really my Chinese tradition to betray the country and people?

China never lacks traitors, just like there is no shortage of officials. There will be many in every dynasty. There were so many traitors in the late Qing Dynasty. In the face of the enemy, they were weak, and in the face of their own family, they were more fierce than hungry wolves.

It's like the city of the Republic. Generally speaking, they are the strange people of the Republic. They are absolutely first-class to bully their own people. If they push them to the battlefield, they will be scared to pee in their pants. Liu Xia hates this kind of people most, traitors and lackeys, bullying the weak and fearing the strong. These are all the scum of the Chinese nation.

Although Li Wen is a new member, he knows everything about Luoyang. Seeing that no one dared to come forward to inquire about the situation, he stepped forward alone and said, "Your Majesty, I don't know that these people are--"

Liu Xia sighed and said, "These include civil servants and generals. Merchant and craftsman. There were a wide range of people involved, and it was also found that several brothel buildings were related to the Qing court, and they were suspected to be intelligence personnel of the salams. The ancients said that the teahouse in the brothel was the best place to inquire about the news, which was true. I'm afraid that a large number of intelligence sources and intelligence transfers are sent from this brothel. It seems that I need to carefully investigate this brothel.

Li Wen said, "Your Majesty, there are a wide range of people involved this time. Now that all of them have not been found out, four or five thousand people have been confiscated. Have all these people been killed? If we don't charge that man as an army, we can kill fewer soldiers. Liu Xia calmed down her anger, shook her head and said, "No, if the criminal is filled with the army, it will spoil the army. My army is a high-quality soldier with strict discipline, law-abiding, and pro-people morality. It should not be defiled by the criminal. Killing can't be finished. Kill the main criminals and their descendants. The rest of the servants are used as labor force and handed over to the logistics department Wang En. I'm afraid that there will be a lot of people who need to use a large number of people in the future, and they will be the best labor force.

"That woman~"

Liu Xia frowned. He came from the 21st century, and naturally had a moral bottom line in his heart. To be honest, Liu Xia didn't want to force Liang to be a prostitute. In ancient times, women who committed crimes were generally used as official prostitutes, which could be regarded as forced prostitution and punished harshly enough. Liu Xia doesn't want to do this, but it is unlikely to let these women go, even if they are not guilty.

"I also handed them all over to the logistics department. Didn't I open a lot of factories? Glass factories, cloth factories, and many places that make military uniforms need women, so these women are arranged to enter them for labor education. If you are a person who is not guilty and performs well, you can be released after three years of work. If you don't want to leave, you can be given according to the salary on the market and treated according to the recruitment of employees. If a person is guilty of a serious crime, he will decide how long he will work according to his judgment according to the law.

Those women don't know that their fate is completely separated from entering the teaching workshop as official prostitutes because of the unbearance in Liu Xia's heart.

"Bear by the way, is there any information from the south?" Liu Xia asked.

At this time, Shou Biao next to him stepped forward and said to Liu Xiagong, "Your Majesty, a letter has been sent from the south a few days ago, but the prince didn't read it." After saying that, Shoubiao handed over the letter under many letters to Liu Xia. Liu Xia immediately opened it and looked at it after a while.

He only heard him say: "The war in the south has ended for the time being. The military division and General Ma defeated Wu Sangui's army and occupied Xinyang Prefecture. Now the whole of Henan has announced that all the political envoys have been recovered. Moreover, Zhang Xianzhong has taken action. In the back of Wu Sangui, Guizhou and Yunnan, I'm afraid that Wu Sangui can't take care of the Kuilang Legion at this moment. He ordered to tell Ma Peng, the commander of the Kuilang Legion, and Chen Liu, the military division, that they must defeat Wu Sangui to the south of the Yangtze River and control the land north of the Yangtze River.

Luoyang

Meng Yu hurried to a dilapidated house on the outskirts of Luoyang with the members of the Investigation Department, which was a small village. There were more than a dozen families in the village. When these people saw Meng Yu and others coming, they closed the doors and hid. In the past few days, things in Luoyang City have spread all over Luoyang and even Henan Province.

The people from the investigation office must not come to travel, but to arrest people. The people of the investigation office can be easily recognized, so these people are afraid to hide when they see them coming.

Meng Yu shook his head helplessly and was aggrieved. I didn't harm these people myself! Why are both people and officials afraid of him?

"Come on, block this house. No one is allowed to go in and out. If anyone dares to resist, let's kill!"

"Yes!"

Soon, dozens of people from the investigation office behind Meng Yu firmly surrounded the house. Meng Yu walked to the door of the yard and knocked on the door heavily.

"Bang bang! Pang bang! Pang bang bang!"

"Who is it!" At this time, an old voice came from the closed yard. Soon the door of the yard opened a 20-centimeter gap, and it was an old lady of 70 or 80 years old who opened the door. When she saw the officer, she was so scared that she didn't dare to move.

Meng Yu glanced at her and said in a low voice, "I am the commander of the Investigation Department. I came to arrest the prisoner Bai Lan." After Meng Yu said, the old man turned pale with fear and quickly wanted to close the door, but how could an old man's strength be comparable to Meng Yu? Meng Yu pushed hard, and the old man was immediately pushed to the ground and fell heavily. Then Meng Yu ordered the two people to catch the old man.

"Catch people! Arrested!" The old woman used her best to shout into the room. She didn't know who she shouted to.

"Shut up!" Meng Yu scolded the old woman fiercely, but the old woman was not afraid at all and still shouted. However, Meng Yu could only let people find something to stop the old man's mouth.

Just then, the door of the room opened, and an old man with a stick came out of it. The old man walked with a hunchback and silver hair. The corners of his mouth trembled and he made progress. After approaching Meng Yu, he suddenly knelt down and begged, "This official, please, please let my Lanlan go." He also has difficulties, please, please--"

Meng Yu, as the commander of the Investigation Department and the head of the Supervision Department, has been very hard-hearted. Naturally, he will not be asked for a few words. Meng Yu said, "I will handle cases in accordance with the law. I will not wrong a good person or let a bad person go. The old man doesn't have to be like this. Moreover, this Bai Lan committed the crime of treason and selling the nation. An Sin should destroy the nine clans!" Meng Yu's voice fell, and the whole yard suddenly became quiet. The old man and the old woman no longer spoke or struggled. Because they were so scared that they didn't know what to say.
