On weekdays, the Xue family can't be called "good friends" in the alley, but they don't have any grudges. The He family is richer than most families in this alley, and it is said that they have contacts with the government. However, the Xue family is not "good friends".
"Bullying others by force", no matter master or slave, they are all very kind.
Zhang Yu watched the police nervously and saw someone knocking on the door and shouting loudly: "Police! Open the door!"
Then there was the sound of the door being opened, scoldings, shouts and women's cries mixed together in the night. After a while, Mr.
Although Chains looked calm, his complexion was frighteningly gray. Behind him, his wives, concubines and children were crying one by one. Zhang Yu couldn't bear to look at it anymore and slipped back to bed, secretly wondering: What happened? What kind of crime did Mr. Xue commit?
,The Australians want to arrest him suddenly?
Xue Guirong was caught and suddenly interrogated in the city bureau overnight, and everyone was arrested before midnight. He did not expect that he would be arrested, and even tried to "talk to Mu Min" before starting the interrogation. He still adhered to the old concept and thought
The Australian police put up such a big show because they thought he was not "filial" and took the opportunity to extort money. However, Mu Min's few words let him know that he was completely wrong.
"...I know that hiring gangsters and thugs is commonplace for you. You also hire people, and your opponents also hire people. If you kill someone, you can buy someone else's life. This has been an old rule for many years. The government doesn't care." Mu Mu
Min said, "However, the world is dominated by the Senate now, and this old rule is not tolerated."
Mu Min walked slowly in the interrogation room: "The Senate will let things go in the past. But if something like this happens again now, you can't just buy a few lives to take the blame and get over it. As for you,
Hiring gangsters, committing crimes in the city, and attacking public and private institutions, in the Song Dynasty, it was a gathering of people to riot, which is tantamount to rebellion..."
The words "equal to rebellion" made Xue Guirong go to pieces. Rebellion was a major crime that implicated the nine clans. If his hands and feet had not been handcuffed to the chair, he would have been lying on the ground kowtowing like garlic.
If the world was still under the Ming Dynasty, he would not be so nervous. The officials of the Ming Dynasty were always good at talking big words to make small money. When they extorted people's money, even if it was a small matter, they would dare to say some scary big words, and it would be a golden bell.
A cover can often frighten good people to the point of pissing themselves off and ruining their fortunes.
The dental industry is a special industry that is closely attached to the government, so this method is useless to them. The more serious you say, the more you know that you actually have no cards to play. After some haggling, you can always end up with a price that is acceptable to both of you.
Compromise on price. Being an official for thousands of miles is just for money. As long as the demands are not too excessive, Yaxing will naturally meet the demands of the officials. After all, both parties are mostly using each other.
If the Australians still follow the methods of the Ming Dynasty officials, then naturally they will still follow the same practices as in the past: jail the "prisoners" who surrender, release the beggars caught, and then send people to "make peace" with them: How much?
Public expenses, how much private expenses, are twelve lives enough...
To arrest him directly is to enter the "judicial process" - although there is no such term in ancient times, it is also known that "one word enters the officialdom, and nine cows cannot pull it away". Once a person enters the yamen, he has to "explain"
"Jin Tou" exercise in private will cost a lot of money.
Xue Guirong knew that Mu Min was not an empty threat. He was so frightened that he lost his mind and begged for mercy. After three attempts, he completely eliminated the plan of Ya Xing to give the rice merchants "a little color". Mu Min had already received a call from Lin Baiguang in advance.
She was instructed to collect as much information about the dental clinic as possible from Xue Guirong, so she started asking carefully.
Guangzhou's tooth shops are large in scale and involve many industries. In theory, all goods entering the city must pass through the hands of tooth merchants. However, in actual operation, tooth shops have inconsistent control over the circulation of various commodities. The same is true.
Salt, a staple consumer product, has almost no influence. This is not only because of the decline of official salt and the proliferation of private salt, but also because most of the private salt dealers are "evil lords" who are not afraid of death, let alone hired ones.
The thugs, even the officers and soldiers, will use their swords and guns whenever they disagree. Moreover, the consumption of salt is limited and its absolute value is not high, so the industry is not interested in spending great efforts to monopolize it.
Another example is vegetables, which are indispensable to the people every day: the wholesale of vegetables in the city is now monopolized by the Guandi Temple people. All farmers who come to the city to sell vegetables have to change hands - in fact, the Guandi Temple people do not have government-issued food.
Yatie is a "wild tooth". To make farmers obey orders, they have to rely on violent methods. Naturally, Yaxing does not dare to fight.
In addition, since a large number of officials and gentry are involved in the lucrative overseas trade, almost all sea trade merchants have a "big threshold" as a backer.
Mu Min learned during the interrogation that Yahang basically bullied the weak and feared the strong. Whenever there were a large number of officials and gentry involved in a certain trade industry or there were powerful gangs like private salt dealers, they often could not effectively use the benefits provided by the government.
Monopoly power. Generally speaking, it is a standard parasitic industry.
As for human teeth, dental teeth... Although these dental professionals can be considered part of the dental industry, due to their humble status and many industry secrets, they are actually in another industry, and there is a deep gap between them and these upper-level dental dealers.
Xue Guirong knew very little about them and could not provide any useful information.
After He Guirong was taken into custody, the entire police station was dispatched and immediately began to search for relevant personnel. When it was dawn, many people involved in the case related to Yaxing were caught from the bed and taken to the detention center. Mu Min sent people to separately interrogate. At the same time, he ordered the police
Seize the property of the person involved:
"The family members and slaves of the persons involved in the case will all be sent to the Gongyuan for temporary detention. Send people to seal up their houses, properties, shops and warehouses to prevent anyone from taking advantage of the chaos! Pay attention to the family members, important servants and masters of the persons involved in the case to prevent anyone from escaping.
Or commit suicide!"
Although the legal system of the Senate is "not implicated", in such a case, it is almost impossible not to involve his family and slaves - after all, this is an era of "family world". From the emperor to the common people
, cannot be exempted from vulgarity. When it comes to stolen money and stolen goods, it is almost impossible to have nothing to do with family members and servants.
The leading figure in the dental shop was wiped out overnight, causing great uproar in the city of Guangzhou. Immediately afterwards, there was a notice from the Guangzhou Special Municipal Government to ban the dental shop.
The notice announced: From now on, except for living service intermediaries such as Fangya and Renya, which can obtain business licenses from the city government to continue operating, all dental shops in counties under the jurisdiction of Guangzhou Prefecture that involve the circulation of goods will be cancelled.
The dental stickers issued by the Ministry of Finance, Guangzhou Prefecture, County Yamen and other government agencies at all levels are all invalid. Goods can be freely circulated after paying taxes according to regulations. No merchants or individuals shall be left in trouble.
As soon as the announcement came out, the oppressed merchants were immediately proud. The doorways of tooth merchants everywhere were suddenly crowded with foreign merchants who came to ask for payment and inventory. Suddenly, there were reports that tooth merchants were beaten and goods were stolen.
Fortunately, Mu Min was somewhat prepared for the robbery incident, and strengthened patrols in the streets where Yahang shops and residents are densely populated, and stopped the riot in time.
Immediately afterwards, notices about cleaning up the aftermath of the dental row appeared on the city government bulletin board and the "Yangcheng Express". The aftermath announcement was posted by the dental row aftermath office. The dental trade involves a wide variety of trading commodities and involves many traders. Moreover, Lin Baiguang
It has been known from the interrogation materials that because dental shops are a "white wolf" business, it is very common for them to misappropriate the merchants' money and goods. Some dental merchants live luxuriously and have huge daily expenses, which has actually caused a huge deficit.
Once the cleanup begins, a large number of legal issues will inevitably be involved, so Liu Xiang decided that the Guangzhou Circuit Court of the Ministry of Justice would take the lead, and the Commerce and Trade Bureau and Delong Bank would cooperate to deal with the aftermath.
"Mu Min just arrests people, and I'll leave the aftermath to you." Liu Xiang said to Liang Xinhu, "We have to get this done!"
"Understood." Liang Xinhu nodded solemnly, "Since I came to Guangzhou on my own initiative, I naturally have to make achievements."
"I have already said hello to the Cheka and will transfer some auditors to you. In addition, you can also call on the old officials retained by the households at will. They are more familiar with this kind of old-fashioned accounting and know the tricks in it better." Liu Xiang said.
, "Yaxing is a small power group, let's practice with it first. There are more things waiting for you to 'handle them according to the law.'"
Liang Xinhu understood the idea and arrived at the city police station as soon as the announcement was made. Then, the police once again mobilized to seal all dental shops and warehouses in the city. A notice was issued: dental dealers were required to report to the aftermath office within three days and hand over their old teeth.
Posts and related account books. The tooth merchants, their families, servants, and clerks are not allowed to leave the city. They are waiting for the aftermath to be dealt with. Anyone who refuses to report, absconds, or transfers their property will have all their property confiscated.
This lightning strike was a clean strike. The rice merchants in the city were in chaos, and by the time they realized it, they were all under control. Some people knew that Xue Guirong and his group were conspiring to deal with the rice merchants, and they couldn't help but cursed him for "not succeeding enough, but failing more than failing." Some people knew that Xue Guirong and his group were conspiring to deal with the rice merchants.
Having heard that the Australians were "strict in their laws", they were worried that their family would suffer a huge loss and might not be spared. Thinking of the various "cruel" punishments in the legends of the Australians, some of them might not be able to survive the torture and even commit suicide by throwing themselves into the ring.
Businessmen everywhere are naturally celebrating: they have been fed up with the toothache of tooth dealers, and have had their interests usurped for many years. Now the Australians have not only vented their anger on them, but also abolished the tooth dealer system. They also have to clear up the tooth dealers' accumulated debts.
, how could this not make them happy? For a time, all the major restaurants in Guangzhou were drinking wine and prostitutes, and there was laughter and laughter everywhere.
But in one day and one night, some people in Guangzhou were happy and some were sad. (To be continued.)
