It has been several days since Feng Buyi and others went to the place to solve the problems of various trading houses.
One piece of news flew to the capital like snowflakes.
There was no so-called escort for trial; some were just arrests and arrests immediately after the edict was issued, and beheadings were displayed to the public.
And on that day, the local supply and marketing bureau was established and a plaque with the imperial court was hung.
The means cannot be said to be iron-blooded, nor can they be said to be swift.
Those shopkeepers thought it would be the same as before. Even if they were arrested, they would just be handed over to the local government for trial. After a few days of gossip, they would be fine.
But this time, Feng Buyi and others did not do such a thing at all. After confirming their identity, they immediately killed him coldly and showed no mercy.
Even the local government failed to respond in time and watched helplessly as the shopkeepers were beheaded.
For a time, the whole country felt an unprecedented killing intent, crossing the sky over Dajin.
No longer just talking, no matter how loud the wind is, the raindrops are small, but directly kill without giving any opportunity for sophistry.
Such a style of conduct has never appeared in Dajin before.
In other words, no one has ever done this except that Zhongyong Bo.
After being smashed, Wangfu Trading Company quickly changed its name to the Supply and Marketing Bureau and actively disseminated the "Supply and Marketing Department Assessment Reference Book" to the local area.
Beijing,
The ministers who were waiting to see the Supply and Marketing Department get into trouble were angered by the bloody news.
"How dare he!?"
"How can it be so careless to commit a serious crime of beheading? And he just killed him without even having a trial at the Yamen. Where did he, Li Changan, get the power!?"
"We must learn from him. Li Changan must not stay in this position."
"Who behaves extremely erratically, is lawless, and does not follow the rules at all? Who dares to stay in the court?"
"This is a lunatic!"
…
The supply and marketing department's iron-blooded tactics attracted the attention of all parties.
No one could have imagined that the Supply and Marketing Department, which had been denounced nationwide, would act like this after being silent for more than half a month.
The ministers who had been taking a wait-and-see attitude seemed to have seen the disaster relief scenes in the south a few years ago.
"As expected of him, he kills people without mercy."
"There are no trial rules at all... This is in line with Li Changan's temperament."
"As long as you don't follow the rules, you won't fall into the quagmire of easy trials and difficult convictions, and you won't be locked in and unable to get out."
"However, the people killed this time seem to be just superficial figures. The real black hands behind the scenes have not been pulled out yet. Is this useful?"
Such questions are also swirling in the minds of most people.
This batch of supply and marketing departments beheaded so many people that the total number from all over the place exceeded a thousand.
It was really a killing spree, with no mercy.
Among the people who could be killed, most of them were business owners who took the lead in making trouble, and there were also some scoundrels who went too far.
The real existence behind it is not involved.
So it gives people the impression that although they killed a lot, they were not thorough.
"Could it be that Li Changan didn't dare to touch those people?"
"That shouldn't be the reason. Isn't it just a slap in the face of those people who are killed? They are already slapped in the face. The two sides are already in tit-for-tat confrontation. If he really doesn't dare, then he won't take action."
"I'm probably waiting for an opportunity..."
"Don't forget, everyone, Li Changan killed a lot of officials under his butcher knife back then."
…
The local people witnessed the beheadings with their own eyes. Looking at the heads hanging high at the yamen gate, everyone's eyes widened in disbelief.
"I'm a good boy, do you really dare to kill Uncle Zhongyong's men?"
"That's the shopkeeper of Sihai Trading Company. He is always called a brother-in-law to the county governor and county magistrate."
"As expected of Uncle Zhongyong. Only through training on the battlefield can he have such murderous intent."
"Don't worry about beheading. The Bureau of Supply and Marketing is also open today. Go and read the reference book that Uncle Zhongyong mentioned."
"There was such a fuss before that I thought the Supply and Marketing Bureau couldn't open, but I didn't expect it to open today."
"If we can get admitted to the Supply and Marketing Bureau in the future, wouldn't we be able to meet Uncle Zhongyong?"
"Go and have a look."
…
As the days passed, more and more people were killed.
Those noisy trading houses soon ceased under the brutal killings.
The voices angrily criticizing Li Changan and the Supply and Marketing Department have not completely dissipated, but instead all kinds of gossip are floating around.
Therefore, it has gradually evolved into a situation where most people are incompetent and bark, but few actually dare to put it into practice.
Everyone's life is life.
The reason why I dared to take action before was because there were similar actions all over the country, and the law did not punish everyone.
However, the actions of Li Changan from the Supply and Marketing Department told everyone that there is no such thing as impunity. Anyone who dares to do something will have his head chopped off.
As a result, those who took action were worried all day long, and even the number of people who spoke in the local area decreased.
I was afraid that one day those people from the supply and marketing department would break in the door of my house and chop off my head with a knife.
The whole court in the capital exploded.
Papers were handed over one after another, and there were voices one after another that denounced Li Changan for killing innocent people indiscriminately and wanted to demote Li Changan to the north.
However, the queen ignored them and instead revealed the evidence of the murders.
This was something Li Changan compiled into a book and presented to the Queen before sending people to various places.
When I took it out in the court, the effect was surprisingly good.
Dugu Zhao looked at the courtiers who were eating flies one by one, and couldn't help but recall the words Li Changan attached to the booklet in his mind:
"I hope someone can come out, so that the second round of purging can begin, and the Queen can also take the opportunity to cultivate her true confidant in the court."
There are countless connections behind these trading houses, but many things are not so easy to dig out.
It is also extremely difficult to trace the transactions of silver coins.
Hard evidence is hard to find.
These important officials of the imperial court who stand behind the scenes have been in the officialdom for who knows how many years. It is common for them to be so vigilant.
If Li Changan wants to kill him, he must find evidence.
It's a pity that these guys are as slippery as loaches. They can only push the chess pieces out, so killing them won't do any harm.
It is simply impossible for them to take action personally.
A bunch of old foxes.
Dugu Zhao waved his hand and retreated.
After she returned to the imperial study, she took out the Thousand Miles Transmission Charm and asked, "Li Chang'an still hasn't let go?"
"No, Li Changan is not able to get in. Nearly twenty third-grade scholars came forward from Bailu Academy. The Imperial College also sent several people, but he rejected them all."
"What did Mrs. Liu say?" Dugu Zhao frowned slightly.
"Ms. Liu has agreed a long time ago, but the persuasion is still fruitless, and I suspect that Li Changan may be even more disgusted with this matter because we went to see Mr. Liu."
The voice coming from the other side was helpless.
Dugu Zhao put down the Thousand Mile Telecommunication Note, and Danfeng narrowed his eyes slightly, "Li Chang'an, what exactly do you want to do?"
