Quick Wear: Random Cheats

Chapter 80: Murdered just after inheriting Yiqing Farm (19)

"Uncle, are you saying that if I do this, I might become the first to stand out, or the leader of the charge against the noble families? If so, then I can only succeed, not fail!

Are the higher-ups already so dissatisfied with the aristocratic families?"

What Uncle Li Haoguang said was quite clear, and Li Tianya was not stupid, he just didn't react at first.

At this moment, he naturally understood and was surprised instantly!
"What else? The legacy of aristocratic families is not something that has happened overnight. Look at how bold the Zhang family is. They have hired a group of assassins to work for them, and their monopoly on various resources has reached an outrageous level.

The hydropower resources of several planets are not in the hands of the government, but are controlled by them. I don’t know how many times I had talks with them before I got them to lower the price.

But even so, it is higher than the official price.

The situation of other aristocratic families was not much better. If it were not for the restrictions from above on public opinion and policies, which kept the core members of the big families confined to the Imperial Star and allowed them to leave the Imperial Star at will, or even go to the habitable planets they bought and successfully transformed, there would be a lot of trouble.

You don't know how much evil some small families have done in the local areas by relying on the fact that the emperor is far away. If small families are like this, who knows what they can do in the local areas if the big families are not restraining them in the imperial star.

Okay, now that you have decided to do it, just do it.

But you still have to be prepared and not lose. At the same time, I think your superiors will not refuse."

Although the Li family is also among the top ten families, there are still certain differences between them and other families. The biggest difference is that their family is much poorer than other families.

His family just has a deep foundation and a long history.

But no other family is as rich as this one.

No other noble families are as greedy.

While other aristocratic families were buying large amounts of land and various resources, his family, for the sake of their careers, only invested appropriately in some companies and only held a small portion of the shares.

Just take the dividends and don't worry about anything else.

It is equivalent to buying some stocks within the system when you have nothing to do.

The risk of investing in a company is undoubtedly greater than directly buying land or various mineral resources. After all, many companies may go bankrupt while they are operating, and there are actually very few that can eventually grow and survive.

Excluding resource-based enterprises such as hydropower, coal and iron.

Even fewer are left standing.

Fortunately, their family has a good vision. Although they are currently the poorest among the top ten families, the dividends distributed by major enterprises are three to four trillion yuan every year. In addition, their family has a small population, so it is not only enough, but more than enough.

But because of this, their interests are not consistent with those of ordinary families, but are closer to the government.

Otherwise, their superiors would not have allowed their family to have a deep presence in the two important institutions, the Public Security Bureau and the Procuratorate. These are truly powerful institutions, second only to the military, and the military does not allow any aristocratic family to interfere.

So they went against other families.

The Li family really has no psychological burden.

"Uncle, after hearing what you said, I am actually a little worried. What if the girl from the Zhang family and I really succeed in defeating Zhang Feiyi and Zhang Hongyi, father and son, and wipe out the killer forces cultivated by their family?

Liquidate any other criminal activities that can be found.

Will the other families attack together? Will there be any trouble? Or if they attack together.

You won't abandon us like pawns, will you?"

It was precisely because his uncle had escalated the matter to the level of declaring war on the aristocratic families that Li Tianya was a little hesitant at this time. After all, in his mind, if the major aristocratic families united, their strength would undoubtedly be terrifying.

He is not afraid of charging into battle.

He was afraid of being abandoned.

Li Haoguang just laughed at this time:

"Hahaha, you're also afraid sometimes, don't worry, they probably won't dare to do that. If they do, the people above them will probably die of laughter.

How could I not protect you?

If they do some small things in private, we can turn a blind eye to it, but if they dare to attack you openly and want to kill you, that is rebellion. The reason why the higher-ups have been restraining themselves from taking action is that they don't want to cause any trouble. But if some people really think that the higher-ups dare not take action.

If you dare to do something reckless
That's like an old man eating arsenic and courting death! !

From the moment Wanwu Group officially researched and launched the Wanwu Manufacturing Machine, the aristocratic families had no bargaining chips.

Really, I have to make things clear to you.

Just go ahead and do your job without worry. I guarantee you'll be fine.

Of course, the premise is that you succeed. If you fail, I can't say anything. At most, I can save your life."

Indeed, the Wanwu Group was the dominant enterprise in the Galaxy Empire, holding approximately 60% of the shares. Its original purpose was to unite the aristocratic families, hoping to monopolize the food business. The Empire wouldn't dare allow them to succeed in this endeavor. After all, food was paramount to the people, and if there were any problems with the food supply, even the slightest misstep could lead to unrest throughout the empire.

So, they quickly developed the nutritional supplements that had been held back. These supplements could be made with or without food. After all, the technology for artificial starch was invented 1,800 years ago, and combined with various synthetic essential elements, creating nutritional supplements was easy.

Not even a grain of wheat or a grain of rice.

That’s no problem, it won’t affect the production of nutrients.

After all, the empire really has no shortage of energy.

With the introduction of nutritional supplements, the plans of the aristocratic families could be said to have gone bankrupt. The prices of ordinary food, which had been pushed up, also fell rapidly. Many aristocratic families who had invested huge sums of money in this area suffered heavy losses and had to cut their flesh and bleed.

Since then, food prices have remained relatively stable.

Until recently, some aristocratic families have been criticizing the issue of nutritional supplements, arguing that humans are not livestock, so how can they rely entirely on nutritional supplements for survival? This is not treating humans as human beings. Many cattle and sheep can at least eat grain-fed foods.

Many papers have also been published, saying that taking nutritional supplements for a long time is not good for you, including problems such as digestive system and intestinal degeneration.

Of course, these problems do exist.

But in fact, the overall impact is not significant. After all, there are very few people who really rely on nutritional supplements to make a living. Most people may eat something when they are too lazy to cook or when they are in a tight spot at the end of the month. Under normal circumstances, they will still eat food.

The core reason they did this was because they loved the monopoly business. They controlled a large amount of land, but food prices were very stable, so they could only make a small profit each year, which made them very unhappy. However, if they built all the houses, they would not be able to sell them, and they estimated that they would have to pay back the construction costs. So they had to continue to focus on the food business, hoping to monopolize the market and increase profits.

A three or five yuan increase in the price of rice and cabbage is not enough to have any impact on ordinary people, let alone make them unable to afford it, but it can increase their land income by three to five times, or even more.

And the result! It’s obvious.

The imperial government immediately took a drastic action and launched the All Things Manufacturing Device, completely cutting off their thoughts.

It also increases the prices of common agricultural products.

There is no more room for hype and skyrocketing prices.

Apart from food, the other things that people cannot do without are water, electricity and the Internet, although a large part of these things are controlled by the aristocratic families.

But as long as the imperial government wants.

At most, the people will suffer a little for a few days.

Therefore, the Galaxy Empire is undoubtedly capable of dealing with the aristocratic families. It is just a question of whether to take action and whether it is worth it. Compared with the simple and crude direct action, the higher-ups would rather slowly and subtly erode them.

For example, once the Wanwu Group launched its Wanwu Manufacturing Machine, the prices of all land dropped. Previously, even when the government wanted to acquire the land, no one was willing to sell it.

Now they are begging the government to buy it out.

However, the empire was not very willing to acquire the land, because they also felt that it was useless to nationalize so much land. If they were used to grow crops, they would not be able to sell it at all.

If you don't plant it, it would be a pity to just leave it lying idle.

It’s better not to acquire it. Out of sight, out of mind. It doesn’t belong to the state, it’s private, so I won’t feel bad looking at it.

"Okay, I'll go talk to my boss again."

Li Tianya rolled his eyes again, pondered carefully for a moment, and finally decided to go for it. Although there were certain risks, the rewards were also huge. If he succeeded, he could at least advance to the next level.

At his level, if he were to rise one level, he would truly enter the core class of the empire.

Besides, he is not even fifty years old this year and has a bright future!
After making the decision, he quickly said goodbye to his father and uncle, then hurried back to the Imperial Security Bureau. Using official confidential communication equipment, he carefully communicated with his superiors about the matter. After obtaining the other party's permission, he immediately went to find Ding Shui.

At this time, Ding Shui had already completed the trial.

The trial effect is quite beautiful.

The success rate was 100%. No one who thought they had strong willpower could successfully break free from hypnosis. However, Li Tianya was still a little worried. In the end, he transferred several criminals with very strong willpower from the Public Security Bureau to participate in the trial together with staff from the confidentiality department. Naturally, all of them were successfully hypnotized.

Only then did Li Tianya feel more confident.

And officially began deployment operations.

The next few days were mainly a secret preparation process. There were many things to do, such as having Ding Shui officially join the Institute of Mental Power and successfully hiring him as an interrogation room technician for the Public Security Bureau.

They are not staff members, but technicians who provide technical support. Being a staff member is not that easy.

The relevant procedures cannot be completed in a day or two.

Secondly, through the clues provided by Zhang Sanmu and Zhang Sanshui, they searched for the descendants of the victims killed by Zhang Feiyi and Zhang Hongyi, provided them with a small amount of evidence, and encouraged them to directly sue the Zhang father and son.

As for why Ding Shui was not allowed to sue?
Of course, it was because Ding Shui had other things to do. She was the core technical staff who made Zhang Feiyi and Zhang Hongyi tell the truth. If she participated in the prosecution, according to the principle of case recusation, she would not be able to participate in the case work.

I can only be a good family member of the victim.

At the same time, for this reason, when conducting subsequent inquiries, priority must be given to information that is not related to Ding Shui's biological parents and adoptive parents. Only after all the necessary questions have been asked can this information be asked.

At this time, Ding Shui can step down.

Because it involves her, she has to avoid suspicion.

In short, even if the process becomes more complicated, they must go through it, because procedural justice is sometimes really important. If procedural justice does not exist, it is easy for others to overturn the situation and directly overturn all evidence, and all previous efforts will be completely wasted.

In addition, the procedures for officially incorporating the hypnotic interrogation device into a regular interrogation tool must also be completed quickly.

These are all necessary processes.

By the time all these matters were finalized, three days had passed, and some of them had been expedited. After carefully reviewing them and making sure nothing was missed, Li Tianya officially began his operation. He stormed into the Zhang family's ancestral home with an arrest warrant and arrested Zhang Feiyi and Zhang Hongyi, father and son. Then, without giving their lawyer a chance to react, he launched an interrogation.

The Public Security Bureau has special personnel responsible for stopping lawyers.

Stop for a while.

Ding Shui also participated in the process. After all, she was needed to operate the hypnosis interrogation device. Because they had made sufficient preparations in advance and even prepared the specific questions to be asked, the whole process was very smooth.

The hypnosis effect is also very good, and you can answer whatever you are asked.

Including some top-secret information, as well as the information of all the killers, specific records of mission execution, etc., all were successfully obtained in less than half an hour.

The next step, of course, was to rush back to the Zhang family.

All evidence and information were wiped out.

Based on the information, all the public security agencies in the empire immediately received orders and began arresting people across the empire.

Catch all the killers with the greatest hidden dangers.

Since the database of their criminal headquarters was directly seized, it was naturally not difficult to arrest people. They could just arrest them by checking the specific list information.

This action can basically be called Operation Thunder.

It is extremely fast and has a wide attack range.

By the time the Zhang family's lawyers officially began to intervene, the evidence in the hands of Li Tianya and his team was already enough to make the Zhang family father and son suspects from the beginning.

Directly become a heinous criminal.

Bail and other things are useless.

At the same time, the Internet was also very noisy. Everyone was shocked at Li Tianya's courage. Some people applauded, while others felt that it might eventually become a farce. Some even clamored that Li Tianya would definitely send the head of the Zhang family back politely after a while.

Of course, the online uproar didn't have much impact; the bigger impact was the questioning from other family heads.

Fortunately, all kinds of evidence have been successfully found.

So Li Tianya didn't need to say much; he just had to get rid of the evidence. And as the subsequent questioning deepened, more and more evidence was collected. Even though some of the evidence had long been destroyed, especially some of the older evidence, the remaining evidence was still enough to make the father and son never leave the Public Security Bureau again.

After all, they really haven't done anything good.

He was originally responsible for doing dirty work, so what good could he have done? He used many means to get to the top, and his hands were stained with the blood of many people who were against the Zhang family.

The Zhang family also has a lot of blood.

To silence the other aristocratic families, Li Tianya, after consulting with his superiors, simply made public all the evidence of the Zhang family's crimes. For a moment, the entire interstellar network erupted in chaos, and people were constantly transferring the relevant evidence to the internal networks of various habitable planets so that even those without interstellar connections could see it.

Oh my god, in this day and age, the Zhang family still employs assassins, over two hundred of them. Oh my god, where does this feudal antiquity come from? Have they read too many novels about ancient princes, assassins, and death squads?

[Must punish severely, must punish severely!!]

[Too many people have died at their hands, and most of the cases were closed by accidents. If they hadn't been exposed, how long would they have been kept hidden?]

[Li Tianya is a real man! A real man! ! ]

[It seems the dispute between the Zhang and Li families should be over now. The Zhang family has been completely defeated, and even the head of the family has been arrested. It seems that they are completely defeated.]

"I've said a lot of bad things about the Zhang family online before, and I almost got hit and killed last month. I won't..."

[You're overthinking the above. You don't even look at the people who died at the hands of their killers. What qualifications do you have to let them do that? It's ridiculous.]

[It seems like there's something fishy about their assassin business in recent decades. I did a rough count, and the number of outsiders killed by their assassins is less than their own. No wonder people always say the Zhang family has been plagued by internal strife lately. It seems their internal strife is truly deadly.]

[It's true. Except for Zhang Ai and his daughter Zhang Qiangwei, the rest of the direct lineage were killed by their own assassins.]

[Is this considered a case of bringing disaster upon oneself? ]

I've always suspected something was wrong with Zhang Qiangwei's death, because hers was the most insane. I never expected she was the only one who committed suicide. The others were murdered. It's really hard to understand when someone goes insane. Is Huang Mao that powerful?

[People are not short of money, but they may be short of love? ]

[I'm different. I lack both money and love...]

It's a shame the death penalty has been abolished, otherwise these two guys would have deserved to be cut into pieces. Does anyone know how long their sentences might be for these crimes?

[It is estimated to be no less than two thousand years.]

"Two thousand years? That's ridiculous! How could they possibly live for two thousand years? I wonder if the person who sentenced them to this length of time is mentally ill. Who could possibly spend two thousand years in prison?"

"No, the higher-ups don't understand. Sentences of 2,000 or 3,000 years aren't meant to imprison them for that many years, but to prevent them from receiving a sentence reduction and release. These days, many things, like contributions to the government or science and technology, can lead to sentence reductions. While the maximum reduction is ten years per year, if they only serve 20 or 30 years, given the status of the Zhang family's patriarch, they'll be released in two or three years at most."

The cumulative increase in sentences for all crimes is to prevent this. If there is a sentence of two or three thousand years, even if ten years are reduced for each year, there is no way they can be released alive.

Overall, it's pretty good.

I still feel really bad. There's no need to jail people like this. It's so easy to just kill them. Can we make an appeal to reinstate the death penalty or something?

If I remember correctly, the abolition of the death penalty was a trick that happened when the aristocratic families were at their peak. The two- to three-thousand-year sentence was a last resort for the imperial government to deal with this situation. I think it might be worth a try. Let's leave a message on the official website.

[Yes, there is no death penalty. The deterrent effect is too low! ]

I don't know what the research on mental power and the soul is like at the Mental Power Research Institute. If they can discover the soul, or if they can impose punishment on the soul, I think the death penalty wouldn't be necessary. They could bring in the eighteen levels of hell from mythology and directly punish the soul. Then, even if the person dies but the soul lives on, the punishment continues!

[The one upstairs, even the King of Hell must step down and let the wise man take over! ]

【O living king of hell! 】
