The Young and Vigorous Eighth Prince
Chapter 590: The Suppression of Heads Rolling
If the person in front of them was an imperial envoy, they would not worry. They could spend some money and use Fu Weimin's identity to put pressure on him, and he would definitely go along with them. If that didn't work, they would just kill him.
But the person in front of him was the Princess of Qin, that was different, who was the Princess of Qin? She was going to be the queen in the future.
Fu Weimin is just an ant in front of them, they are nothing! Coming back to their senses, Fu Weide, the generals, and the head of the police immediately knelt on the ground with terrified eyes.
"Please forgive me, Princess. I was blind and offended you. I hope you can forgive my fault and let us go!" Fu Weide spoke first.
The general opened his mouth and wanted to speak, but before he could open his mouth, Chu Yan'er pointed at the general and said to the white-robed general: "Execute him... right here!"
"Send another person to capture the prefect and all the people in the government office. Immediately send someone to take over the city guards and control all the generals in the city guards. Anyone who dares to resist will be executed on the spot!"
Her voice was icy cold, and the moment the words came out, the general turned pale with fear. He collapsed to the ground. Coming to his senses, he opened his mouth and wanted to speak, but the white robe general did not give him a chance to speak, and stepped forward to seal his mouth.
Under the shocked gazes of everyone, they dragged the city guard general in front of the crowd and chopped off his head on the spot in front of all the civilians and city guards.
The city guard general who had been so proud just now was now a dead body. As for the remaining city guards, their faces were pale and they were too frightened to move.
Although they are very powerful and have weapons in their hands, they are nothing in front of the White Robe Army. The combat effectiveness of the White Robe Army is many times stronger than theirs.
Not to mention, the person in front of them is the Princess of Qin. No matter how much courage they have, they dare not touch the Princess of Qin, because that would confiscate her property and exterminate her entire clan!
When the people saw the city guard leader being killed and knew that the person in front of them was the Qin Wangfei, they all cheered and kept shouting "Long live the Wangfei".
They had no way of solving the problem of the opium den, but now that the Princess of Qin was here, did they still have to worry? This was the Princess of Qin.
The status of the King of Qin among the people is unmatched, and his prestige in the army is unprecedentedly strong. Not to mention, the prestige of the King of Qin's wife in the army is also extremely high.
With her around, who would dare to stop the destruction of the opium den? Especially when Princess Qin said that all the people in the prefecture would be controlled, even the city guards, they knew that these corrupt officials were finished! The sky in Yongning Prefecture was going to clear up!
In the following time, Fu Weide was imprisoned, and all the officials in Yongning Prefecture were arrested. The generals and captains of the city guards were also controlled. The city guards let the White Robe Army take over.
After investigation, it was found that half of the generals of the city guards were involved in the opium business, and only a few upright generals and captains hated opium deeply.
But they had no choice but to endure it for the sake of their families. However, they did not get involved.
Almost all the people in the government office were involved in the corruption. Only about one-fifth of them did not participate, and these people were squeezed out of the core of power.
Chu Yan'er convicted those corrupt officials with lightning speed, and those officials who were not involved in corruption were promoted and temporarily took charge of the operation of the government.
As for the participants, they were all taken to the vegetable market. There were more than 300 people in total, including officials, yamen runners, and soldiers. Anyone who was directly involved, no matter how high their status, would be sentenced to death in the end!
On that day, the vegetable market was crowded with people, and hundreds of people were beheaded. The whole Yongning Prefecture was in a state of panic. Of course, this was relative to those who held power.
Chu Yan'er used these heads to warn these people, as well as those who wanted to get involved in opium with evil intentions. If they dared to touch opium for money again, they would die.
In addition to dealing with those who sold opium, a group of Western businessmen in Yongning Prefecture were also arrested, especially Hebrew people. Regardless of whether they participated in the opium business or not, they were all arrested.
Finally, many Western businessmen were brought to the scene, and Chu Yan'er showed them how the opium dealers and Hebrew speakers were beheaded.
Originally, Western businessmen were somewhat fearful because they felt their lives were not guaranteed and some of them did not dare to come to China to do business.
However, Chu Yan'er sent a message that as long as they did not touch opium and did not harm China, their business would be protected. But if they dared to touch opium and do anything that harmed China, they would die.
As for what the Western merchants would choose in the end, Chu Yan'er didn't care. She wasn't worried about scaring the Western merchants.
They can make money by doing business with China, so as long as they don't cross the red line, they will still come to do business.
Under Chu Yan'er's thunderous measures, opium in Yongning was banned in a short period of time. The confiscated opium was also collected by Chu Yan'er and destroyed.
Except for Yongning Prefecture where Chu Yan'er was, the entire coastal area sent people to destroy the opium with the fastest speed. They also captured two or three Hebrew merchants.
As long as they are Hebrew merchants, regardless of whether they sell opium or not, they will be executed. Although not all Hebrew people can do business, the cunning of Hebrew people will only harm China. Jiang Fan’s meaning is very simple. China does not welcome Hebrew people. Those who dare to come will be killed!
As for Fu Weimin, he was stripped of his post as governor and exiled. Regardless of whether he had anything to do with the incident, he could not escape the blame.
If he is not punished, those officials will definitely turn a blind eye to the bad deeds of their relatives. Anyway, he can let his relatives borrow his reputation.
If something goes wrong, they just need to get themselves out of it. They still hold important positions.
No matter what, if Fu Weimin cannot control his relatives, then it can only be said that he deserves it. Even if he is capable, he will never be tolerated if he endangers China.
Not only was Fu Weimin dismissed, but there were also numerous other officials dismissed because of their relatives. The intensity of this time is unprecedentedly large.
Moreover, all actions were taken with force, including the Huaining Army and the White Robe Army. The coastal areas were almost bloody. Jiang Fan knew that if he didn't use high pressure, it would be difficult to resist the momentum of opium.
Even inland, opium had seeped into some places. Fortunately, the Hebrews did not dare to be too blatant. They also knew the harm of opium and were afraid that acting too hastily would cause their plans to fail.
However, they never expected that Jiang Fan would discover it early and kill their infiltration plan in advance!
Even the Hebrew people could no longer enter China. Even if they did not use opium, they had no way to infiltrate China.
