Ziyun kept taking notes, and the book in his hand was full, so he had to replace it with a huge piece of linen cloth.
"Huh! I can't write any more!" Ziyun suddenly dropped the cloth and drew out his short knife: "I'd better kill these guys to sacrifice to heaven!"
"Presumptuous!" Zhao Rui immediately scolded: "Dashang has laws, how can you kill people casually, especially my officials of DaShang! No matter what, you must understand the crime, or let them die!"
Ziyun suppressed the anger in her heart, picked up the linen and continued writing.
There was an endless stream of people coming to complain, and almost all the people in the city had been made things difficult by the officials in the city.
What makes Zhao Rui most incredible is that among the nearly a hundred merchants in Yanbei City, not one of them is from the Ministry of Commerce.
However, they used the name of the Ministry of Commerce to lead the support of big businessmen.
"Where are the defenders of Yanbei City?"
Zhao Rui suddenly shouted, and soldiers with armor immediately entered the venue.
In Dashang, soldiers in any city will obey Zhao Rui's orders unconditionally, otherwise they will be regarded as rebels.
This point was even written into the Dashang Code by Murong Bing and was known to every soldier!
The soldiers came out with the city's police officers and reserve troops.
These people are considered to be at the lowest level in the city, and are usually bullied to death by the heavy-handed officials.
Now there is always someone who can call the shots, so naturally they have to stand up.
Not long after, a total of 30,000 people from the city's garrison and various people gathered in the city!
All officials, merchants, and related personnel were also tied up and pinned down on the square.
Zhao Rui raised the King Yu Sword, and the internal energy from his body swept out, giving him a bit more domineering pressure.
"Everyone in Yanbeicheng, from the city lord down, is guilty here! Eight people were sentenced to death, twenty-three people were beheaded, and forty-two people were gangsters. The crimes of the remaining people will be decided after discussion!"
The people in the city immediately cheered, and what they saw completely exceeded their imagination.
In the perception of ordinary people, Zhao Ruinai is the superior King Zhao, and it is impossible for him to meddle in such nosy matters.
No one thought that Zhao Rui would really make the decision for them!
The Lord of Yanbei City was brought to the high platform. The executioner cleaned the torture instruments and started the torture directly!
"King Zhao, I am a member of the Jianghu. I am the third leader of the Salt Gang. The court has no control over the affairs of the Jianghu! If you kill me today, the Salt Gang will rebel in the future!"
The murderous intent in Zhao Rui's eyes increased.
"I remember that the salt and iron business seems to have been included in the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Commerce. People who sell it privately will not be spared! It seems that the salt gang has violated the national law,"
As soon as these words came out, officials at all levels in Yanbeicheng fell completely silent.
The Salt Gang is extremely powerful, with members spread all over the world. In addition to selling salt and iron, they also sell weapons, leather and other items.
In the past, when the world was in chaos, the Salt Gang worked with various princes and made a lot of money. It can be said that these guys are as rich as the country!
But now that the world is unified and the Ministry of Commerce is spread all over the country, there is no need for the so-called salt gang.
Zhao Rui stood up slowly: "The imperial court will wipe out the Salt Gang in the near future. If you can provide clues, you will be rewarded with ten taels of silver. If you can capture the members of the Salt Gang, you will be rewarded with a hundred taels of silver!"
The scene suddenly boiled, and some people rushed to the high platform.
Yanbeicheng is regarded as the starting point of the Salt Gang in the north. Many specialty products from the north are shipped from here to all parts of the country.
Therefore, there were many members of the Salt Gang in the city, and within three days, thousands of people were arrested.
Zhao Rui was not polite to these people and immediately set up an execution ground to kill all of them.
The bloody execution ground was so shocking that the officials at all levels who rushed here to take over had rarely seen this scene, and all of them were so frightened that their legs weakened.
