Operation Jingxi has not stopped in Jingxi, but as the starting point and core area of Operation Jingxi, the area under the jurisdiction of Fengri City has already begun to wrap up, which is completely opposite to the intensifying situation in other places outside the jurisdiction of Fengri City.
The reason is also simple. Shen Hao is personally arresting Fengri City, and the information is used to control the people in advance, and then arrest people in a unified manner, without giving these "big shots" any time to react. The subsequent implicated persons were also moved quickly and without any delay. More than 80% of the implicated persons did not have time to escape. In the following days, the agents who slipped through the net were also chased away by the sea arrest documents and had no place to hide. They were brought to justice one after another.
Almost all the prisoners have been taken away and they are all locked up in the dungeon. Naturally, there are not many arrest scenes involving crying for father and mother. Passers-by on the street, apart from curling their lips when they see the seal on the door when they pass by the tall red wall from time to time, they still live their lives as they should.
To ordinary people, those who suffered were the "big shots". They were too far away from them, and even a few gossips after dinner felt out of touch, and not as exciting as what happened at Widow Zhang's house next door.
Compared with Fengri City, which was agitated but quickly calmed down, other places in Jingxi were much more complicated.
First of all, in addition to Fengri City, many other places in Jingxi were also involved in the large-scale smuggling of strictly controlled materials from the Baijiang River Basin to the barbarians in the south. The severity was no less bad than what happened in Fengri City. However, these criminals were not immediately charged or arrested. Even the news from Fengri City has spread throughout Jingxi, and these people are still safe and have a lot of time to plan, hold together, get rid of each other, and ask for help...
Escape? That's the last resort. Who would be willing to run away if they weren't desperate?
Besides, those who dare to engage in large-scale smuggling activities that benefit the country and enrich themselves are definitely worthy of calling themselves "big shots". The network of connections at their feet is complicated, especially the money they get. Now if I get hurt, no one can run away!
Even Xuan Qingwei himself couldn't stand the beating. Although I didn't have much contact with the local area in the past, Xuan Qingwei's sign can still attract flies. If I go back and forth one day, I might become a link in someone's network. Now if I want to be selfless, I have to be strong enough. .
Therefore, it is very appropriate to use chicken feathers to describe the places in Jingxi except Fengri City.
And this situation has begun to spread to other parts of the country as Jingxi intentionally or unintentionally disclosed more information about the smuggling ships seized in Baijiang Mountain.
Just as Shen Hao estimated at the beginning, such a large transport volume on the Baijiang River cannot be limited to Jingxi and cannot go anywhere else.
It's just that Shen Hao didn't expect that the situation would change so much everywhere.
When did Xuan Qingwei become so powerless? Are you still quarreling with the local government?
don't know.
However, there is no room for others to sing in Shen Hao's hands. He had directly stated his position to Xie Youlin, the chief officer of Fengli City, that the smuggling case was indeed not handled by Xuanqing Guard, but it was different when it involved barbarians. This was why Shen Hao was able to persuade the higher-ups to launch Operation Jingxi. the root cause. Wu Changhe knew these time-lapse secrets first, and it didn't hurt that Xie Youlin knew them.
Because the nature of the smuggling of controlled materials to the barbarians is completely different. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is treason against the enemy. However, Xuanqingwei has the power to independently investigate and handle the entire process without going through the local government or the law. program.
From this point of view, Xuan Qingwei's power is indeed overwhelming, and it is precisely for this reason that he is criticized by many people.
The first batch of criminals who were arrested had already vomited everything in their stomachs. After Shen Hao asked Jiang Cheng for instructions, he went directly to the legal process. All the principal criminals who were directly involved in this series of cases were to be treated as private persons. Collaborate with the enemy country and deal with it, cut it in half, and kill the three tribes. He was demoted to a lower level of crime and cut in half, leaving his family unaffected.
All procedures were quickly simplified in the hands of Xuan Qingwei. As long as the evidence in the file was conclusive and a confession was obtained, the prisoner would be held in custody directly. Procedures such as a confrontation in court were not needed at all. Therefore, after the order of the governor's office was issued, Bundles of files were stamped "Case Closed" that night.
Closing the case means that the names on the files have completely become personal names and no longer have the use of representing individual lives.
That night, 4,912 people were secretly executed in the prison of Xuanqingwei. According to the "cut in half" order of the governor's office, it was not perfunctory at all. It was completely painful to cut you in half. It will take an hour to die. The loud screams made the residents around the guardhouses tremble in fear and at the same time secretly thought: No wonder the houses here are so cheap.
The next day, when the wagon train pulling the bodies out of the dungeon before dawn, their vests were all cold, and it felt like they had gone around in a slaughterhouse, like slaughtering people.
This is the request of the Zhenfu Envoy Yamen. All the criminals in this case are not allowed to be executed publicly and can only be executed secretly.
It's reasonable, after all, if the common people knew that those "big shots" who usually show off their power were secretly engaged in shameless activities that benefited the country and enriched their own interests, they might be stimulated to what extent. This is not good for the foundation of the country, so it is best to let these black sheep die quietly.
When Shen Hao finished executing the prisoners and began to confiscate his property, the report on the situation in Fengri City quickly reached the Jingxi Town Fushi Yamen.
Jiang Cheng seemed to have been waiting for the execution report note for a long time. He opened it and read it and nodded with satisfaction. In particular, there is this sentence at the end of the file: The criminals have been punished, the turmoil in the area under the jurisdiction of Fengli City has been eliminated, new officials have filled the vacancies one after another, all of them are conscientiously fulfilling their duties, and the atmosphere of Fengri City has taken on a new look...
Shen Hao was polishing his report. After all, after the big move, the area under Fengri City's jurisdiction was already relatively stable compared to other places. It was starting to return to normal, so it was natural to pull it out and make a splash. But these words have a different meaning in Jiang Cheng's eyes.
Less than a meal after receiving the file from Fengri City, Jiang Chengcheng personally delivered it to the commander's Yamen. Pang Pangren specifically told him before that he should report the news about Sealing Sun City as soon as possible.
Pang Ban still looked calm and relaxed. After reading the file sent by Jiang Cheng, he nodded without saying much. Instead, he asked about the previous roundup in Xiaochuan.
"How do you plan to deal with those pseudo-evil monks?"
Jiang Cheng bowed and replied: "My subordinates have prepared another file..."
Before he finished speaking, Pang Ban waved his hand to interrupt: "The Baihu under your sect named Shen is very capable and thoughtful, and he also uncovered these fake evil monks, right? Continue to hand over this case to him. Do it. Give him an order to act cheaply and see how far he can find out."
