In the next half month, there was a wave of rectification in Dakang Chaotang.
The powerful people were still lucky before, thinking that the law would not punish the public, and prepared to unite to resist the Ninth Princess.
But the Ninth Princess dared to kill a group of dandies in such a bad situation in Xichuan. Now that she has the support of Jin Feng and the emperor, will she tolerate them?
Forbidden troops and bodyguards can be seen running around everywhere in the capital, and dignitaries who are usually aloof have become prisoners.
Naturally, the powerful people will not take it easy.
Starting from the house raids, at least one battle broke out every day in the capital.
As the scope of the Ninth Princess's house raids became wider and wider, the Secret Service became more and more strict in conducting investigations in the city, and the battles became more frequent and more intense.
The rich and powerful have no choice.
The Ninth Princess really took action, and all the officials who were arrested were guilty of serious crimes, and almost all of them could not escape death.
Everyone is dead, so what's the use of leaving more dead soldiers behind?
Therefore, even though he knew that he was not the opponent of the Zhenyuan Escort Agency and knew that this was a trap deliberately set by the Ninth Princess, more and more dead servants appeared, and assassination methods were endless.
However, Jin Feng and Ninth Princess had already made preparations, and the dead servants showed up to kill one group after another.
As the arrest operation continued, the people in the capital were so scared that they hid at home and did not dare to go out. Naturally, no one would guard the Jinchuan Chamber of Commerce and the auction house waiting to see Jin Feng.
Jin Feng could finally go to the auction house to take a look.
"Sir, the auction house is just ahead."
Luo Lan pointed to a yard and said: "According to your original design, this auction house has a total of two thousand seats and dozens of private rooms."
"It's quite impressive." Jin Feng looked at the auction house and sighed: "It's a pity that the auction house's business will never be as good as before."
In the past, the auction house relied entirely on making money from rich and powerful playboys. Now the Ninth Princess has gone crazy in the capital. She has almost wiped out all the powerful people who were corrupt and perverted the law. The fish caught in the trap no longer dare to escape. The auction house's business will definitely plummet.
But Jin Feng didn't pay much attention to this. Now that his foundation was established, the loss of the auction house no longer mattered to him.
Last year, he adopted a work-for-relief approach. In addition to building bridges and roads across Xichuan, he also built many factories.
Dakang's wages are so low that they are almost negligible, and as long as they take care of the food, they can recruit a large number of employees.
As these factories are put into use one after another, they will provide Jin Feng with a steady stream of money.
If the auction house's business is not good, then it will not work. At worst, it will reduce the number of auctions and turn it into a theater at other times to promote Dakang's various new policies. At the same time, it can also stage some stage plays and tell folk stories to avoid the emperor and civil and military officials.
Officials don't even know how ordinary people live.
Jin Feng was just thinking about whether to let Qingyuan bring the Jinchuan Song and Dance Troupe to the capital, when Luo Lan next to him suddenly gently tugged on his sleeve.
"Sir, people from Qing Mansion are here!"
Jin Feng turned around and saw several carriages approaching one after another.
On the lantern hanging under the carriage's roof, there is a big word "Celebration" written on it.
"How did Duke Qing find this place?"
Jin Feng was a little puzzled.
During this purge, many families in the capital were implicated, and the Qing family was one of the few families that was not implicated.
This is not to say that the Qing family has no corruption problems at all, but the Ninth Princess's purge of the court this time is not really purely for corruption. To put it bluntly, it is more like eradicating dissidents.
The Qing family was originally a staunch war faction and had always been on the same camp as the Ninth Princess. Qing Huai and Qing Xinyao had always insisted on being on the front line.
Duke Qing was also very sensible. Not only did he take the initiative to submit a confession and repentance, he also took the initiative to hand over hundreds of thousands of taels of silver, tens of thousands of acres of fertile land, and dozens of granaries full of grain.
Not only that, Duke Qing Guo also repeatedly promised in his confession and repentance that he would be strict with his people in the future.
For these reasons, the Ninth Princess decided to let go of the Qing family.
Several other families that were spared were in similar situations to the Qing family.
At the beginning of his fortune, Jin Feng had to be taken care of by the Qing family. The Duke of Qing came in person, but he couldn't support him, so he prepared to go forward to greet him.
"Sir, this is not the carriage of Duke Qing. It looks like the carriage of the Qing family."
Luo Lan reminded in a low voice from the side.
"Which young master of the Qing family?" Jin Feng asked.
"I don't know about this either. The two young masters of the Qing family have the same cars," Luo Lan said.
"Then forget it, don't worry about them."
Since he knew it was not Duke Qing, Jin Feng didn't bother to talk to them.
He was about to take Luo Lan into the auction house, but the carriage stopped at the main entrance of the auction house.
A tall and thin young man jumped down from the carriage, his eyes immediately locked on Jin Feng.
"Ha, you are Jin Feng, right?"
As the young man spoke, he stretched out his hand to hug Jin Feng's shoulders like an acquaintance.
Not to mention that Jin Feng wasn't familiar with him, even if they were, he wasn't used to being too close to people of the same sex.
He took two steps back, frowned and said, "I am Jin Feng, who are you?"
"I am Qinghuai's eldest brother Qingzheng!"
The young man put down his arms in embarrassment: "Just like Qinghuai, just call me big brother."
"I don't have such an out-of-touch elder brother!" Jin Feng said impatiently.
I don’t know how many times I have heard Qing Mulan say this about Qinghuai’s two brothers.
Every time when the Qing family in the capital was mentioned, Qing Mulan would pull these two out and compare them with Qing Huai and ridicule them.
In addition, when Zheng Fang and Liu Qiong came to the capital to report the news, they were also embarrassed by Qinghuai's two brothers, so Jin Feng had a very bad impression of them.
What the dandy young master cares most about is face. When Jin Feng said this, he almost threw Qing Zheng's face to the ground and stepped on it.
Qing Zheng's expression changed immediately.
If Jin Feng was a prince from another country, Qing Zheng might have exploded a long time ago, but facing Jin Feng, he did not dare to act violently.
This man is different from the young master in the capital. He is a master who really dares to kill people.
Just when Qing Zheng was embarrassed and didn't know what to say, another middle-aged man in his forties jumped out of the carriage.
The middle-aged man was obviously much calmer than Qing Zheng, and he quickly saluted when he saw Jin Feng.
"The lower official Wei Wutai has met the Imperial Master!"
"You move fast enough!"
Jin Feng glanced at the middle-aged man and narrowed his eyes slightly.
Although he did not remember this middle-aged man's name or official position, he remembered seeing him in the court.
And without asking, he also knew why the middle-aged man came.
The dignitaries must have realized that it was impossible to defeat the bodyguards and imperial guards in the capital, so they sent people to approach Jin Feng in an attempt to find a breakthrough.
Thinking of this, Jin Feng became a little curious.
He doesn't know what the powerful people will use to bribe him?
Just as I was thinking about it, I saw a group of warblers coming down from several carriages behind me.
Although they are all different in height, short, fat and thin, each of them has a delicate and graceful face.
Every gesture and gesture is full of charm, but without losing elegance.
At first glance, it seems that he has undergone rigorous training.
