Steel Dynasty - Chapter 1112

[Chapter 1102 Chapter 1105 Judgment of Crime]

“The accusation of crime” has finally subsided.”

Niu Ben read the newspaper that had just been published in the morning and let out a breath.

A few days ago, he and Luo Quan took a train to Qingzhou City. When they returned to their respective mansions, they received news from all sides.

A big drama unfolded in front of them, and only then did they understand that so many things had happened in the empire in just a few days.

At such a sensitive moment, the two naturally did not dare to cause trouble for Xiao Ming, so they stayed at home and watched the development of the situation.

It wasn’t until they saw the news published in the newspaper this morning that the two of them understood that the storm had ended successfully.

“It is said that many people suffered this time, and many people were frightened.” Luo Quan said, his hair has become a lot grayer in the past few days.

Now he doesn’t care about other things, he is just worried about Luo Xin and Luo Hong.

“It’s their own fault. Think about it carefully, are these people who have been punished relying on their aristocratic status to oppress the people, and now they are just paying back.” Niu Ben’s eyes were sharp.

He had been with Xiao Ming for a long time, so he naturally knew the emperor’s temper very well. What’s ridiculous is that Ge Yiren and others thought they could twist their arms past his thighs.

“Hey, I can’t control other people. It’s still uncertain whether our Luo family can be saved. Luo Hong is involved in this matter. This is a serious crime that will destroy the nine clans.”

When mentioning this, Luo Quan beat his chest and felt full of regret.

Niu Ben sighed, and comforted him: “The Luo family has fought bloody battles for the royal family for generations. The emperor has his own thoughts. Don’t worry. It’s just Luo Hong…you have to be prepared.”

“This traitor…hey…” Luo Quan Suddenly he stopped talking.

As soon as he finished speaking, the housekeeper suddenly ran up to him and said loudly: “Master, Da Lang and Er Lang are back.”

Luo Quan stood up suddenly: “Where are they?”

“Just entered the city. .” said the steward.

“You traitor!” Luo Quan picked up the sword that he had used in the battlefield for many years and turned around and left the mansion.

When Niu Ben saw this, he immediately followed him, fearing that Luo Quan would do something impulsive because of his anger.

At the same time, Xiao Ming also received news that the Southwest Army had arrived in Qingzhou.

“Your Majesty, Commander Luo Xin only brought ten personal guards to Qingzhou this time.” Qian Dafu said.

“He doesn’t dare to take too many.” Xiao Ming snorted coldly. Except for Zhu Sansi who was in Alaska, everyone from the six military regions had not returned yet. Everyone else had arrived in Qingzhou.

After all, Zhu Sansi’s location was too far away, and he was not prepared to let Zhu Sansi come back.

He stood up and walked to the door, and said: “After so long of tossing, the empire has been in chaos for a while. Now it’s time to give out the results and let the world calm down. Let’s settle it at the meeting tomorrow.”

After that, Xiao Ming Exited the imperial study room.

According to statistics, more than 2,000 people related to the Merchant Council were caught this time, and more than 8,000 old nobles who were in cahoots with Ge Yi and Luo Honghang were caught. These people can be found in various cities in the empire.

In addition to Luo Hong, more than 300 generals in the army were arrested.

Some of these three hundred generals were Luo Hong’s old men, who had negotiated with Luo Hong to start a joint uprising, and the rest were from aristocratic families.

After the incident was exposed, these generals tried to lead troops in rebellion, but as a result, they were immediately arrested by the army commander Shi, and only a few close associates followed them in the rebellion.

Because of this, this farce started violently but ended dramatically.

It’s just that this incident has caused some damage to the empire, and capturing the criminals cannot be guaranteed to be 100% in modern times.

In this era of low population density and zero surveillance facilities, the difficulty of arresting people has naturally increased exponentially.

But unfortunately, there are still fish that slipped through the net. Now these are completely missing, including several generals. No one knows whether they are dead or alive.

And this is the only flaw in this incident, but Xiao Ming also understands that nothing in this world is perfect, and you can’t have your cake and eat it too.

After a day of rest, Xiao Ming went to court on time the next day.

A group of officials received the order and arrived at the Zhengdaguangming Hall on time. They knew that someone was going to have their head dropped in today’s meeting.

Sitting down on the dragon chair, Xiao Ming’s eyes swept over everyone’s faces, and his eyes stopped on Luo Xin for a moment and then turned back.

“Today, dear friends, you must also know what I am going to say. A few years ago, the Merchant Council brought trouble to Jiangnan and caused the empire to suffer a serious disaster. After the Merchant Council was defeated, the Cao family father and son who founded the Merchant Council and the British lackey Cao Kun The father and son fled to England and were canonized as nobles by the Queen of England. Since then, the father and son have tried their best to bring trouble to the empire, instigating members who were lurking in the empire to spread rumors and cause trouble, looking for opportunities to rebel. God helped the empire, and these two thieves were He was captured during the Battle of India, and the secret stronghold he established in India was also destroyed. Yue Yun even searched out the roster on him. After verification and investigation, it was found that the people on this roster were indeed closely related to the Cao family and his son. They were not Framed,” Xiao Ming said word by word.

Pang Yukun came out at this time and said: “The Cao family and his son are the sons of treacherous ministers and thieves. They are dirty people who regard thieves as their fathers. I believe that these traitors should be sentenced to death to set the record straight! You must not be merciful.”

“I think that even in the second year, After death, we should cast bronze statues based on their appearance to be remembered by the world and cast aside by generations!” Zhan Xingchang said.

Xiao Ming nodded. He actually hated Cao Kun more than Ge Yiren.

Ge Yiren at least competed with him for his own interests and lost, but this Cao Kun was a traitor who betrayed the country and was willing to be someone else’s dog.

He would never have a trace of pity in his heart for such a person.

So he said: “According to what Mr. Zhan Ge said, after publicly hanging the two men, a bronze statue should be erected to be despised by all generations, and the masterminds on the list will also be killed without mercy!”

The Battle of India was just the beginning of his official war with the great powers. stage, after this failure, the Western powers may negotiate for peace.

But their wariness of the Empire will only grow higher, and they will secretly accumulate strength to plot a comeback.

Therefore, he did not want the empire’s technology to be stolen to Europe by traitors one after another during this period.

In order to set an example, he could only adopt ruthless methods and kill the remnants of the Merchant Council.

After convicting Cao Kun and his son, Xiao Ming sighed slightly, “The next thing is what makes me extremely sad. An imperial cabinet minister actually opposed me in my name. Ge Yiren, what else do you have to say?” “Yes.”

Xiao Ming looked at the shackled Ge Yiren and said.

Nowadays, Ge Yiren has no trace of his former charm and looks like an old man in his dying years. But even so, he is destined to bear the responsibility for the mistakes he made.
