Chapter 658 The Iron Fist of Ming Dynasty (3rd update, please subscribe)
The money you give away will eventually come back to you!
Zhao Siming looked at the banknotes and the police in front of him. His eyes were filled with not only confusion and doubt, but more of surprise.
How could the money be returned?
"Okay, Mr. Zhao, the suspicion on you has been cleared. Here is your money. After you sign to receive it, you can leave."
Looking at Young Master Zhao who was standing there in a daze, Zhang Wenjie said with a smile.
"Why do you want to stay here for two more days?"
"Live here? No, no, what kind of place is this? That's where people live, no one wants to live here."
As soon as Zhao Shuwang finished speaking, he realized that he had said the wrong thing.
"I'm talking about the prison where we lived before. It's not a good place, isn't it, Master?"
Young Master Zhao didn't pay any attention to what his servant said. Instead, he asked in a daze.
"signature?"
"How can you get the money if you don't sign?"
Zhang Wenjie said as he looked at Young Master Zhao who seemed a little dazed.
"This money is yours. If you don't want it, who will you give it to?"
"My money?"
Wasn't this money given to you before? Isn't it your money now? How did it become mine again?
Zhao Siming was a little confused. This was the first time he saw that the money that went into the government’s pocket could actually be turned back.
If an official asks for money, it's like throwing meat buns at a dog, it will never come back.
But now the meat buns that were beaten out have come back. Who would believe this if they told others about it?
Not to mention that the people who heard it didn't believe it, even Young Master Zhao, looking at the money in front of him, had a look of disbelief on his face.
"Okay, don't just stand there, Mr. Zhao. Be careful when you go out in the future. People's hearts are hidden in their stomachs. Please sign your name and keep the money."
Everything seemed like a dream. Even when he walked out of the police station, Zhao Siming was still a little dazed.
It’s not because the money is back, but because... the Ming Dynasty is completely different from what he imagined.
"Master, now I know why you're thinking about the Ming Dynasty!"
Zhao Shuwang, who was following the young master, glanced at the policemen coming in and out from time to time and said.
"This place is really nice. The officials don't take the money from the common people. This is very rare..."
Looking at the city that he has gradually become familiar with during this period, Zhao Shuwang seemed to really understand the young master's thoughts at this moment.
Is there any official in this world who doesn't value the money of the common people? But this place really doesn't value the money of the common people.
If nothing else, just for this point, the Ming Dynasty is better than my hometown.
"It's rare..."
Zhao Siming nodded thoughtfully, and then said,
"Shuwang, let's find a house first. Daming is indeed a good place!"
Just when Zhao Siming decided to stay in Daming and experience the Daming that he had been thinking about, on the other side of the continent, in the imperial palace of Yingtian, Emperor Zhu frowned more and more as he listened to the report of Sun Yike, director of the National Police Bureau. He did not expect that hundreds of kilograms of opium could be seized in Daming at one time. What did this mean? At least thousands of people in Daming smoked opium.
When you are well fed and warmed, you will think about sex!
Some people may feel that the good days are over!
Emperor Zhu asked, hating those people's incompetence.
"Where did the smoke come from?"
As early as the Nanhua period, in order to prevent opium from flowing into Nanhua and causing an opium epidemic, Emperor Zhu Da specially trained drug-sniffing dogs to search for immigrant ships and immigrants to prevent crew members or immigrants from smuggling drugs.
Many people have been killed for this reason over the years.
But he really couldn't imagine that even so, there were still people who could transport opium into the Ming Dynasty. And there were still many people smoking opium there.
"From China. According to the clues we have, the opium was shipped from China to Peru, and then from Peru to Ming Dynasty by drug traffickers via land..."
When Sun Yike was reporting, he only felt a slight sweat on his back. He was careless!
It's more than just negligence, it's simply dereliction of duty!
That smuggling route has existed for more than a year, but they didn't have any intelligence about it. If this were to be investigated, he would have no choice but to die.
After all, everyone knows that His Majesty is extremely disgusted with opium. Otherwise, he would not have set up harsh laws to prohibit the flow of opium into Nanhua. As early as in Nanhua, sailors were shot for smuggling opium. Over time, opium has long become a forbidden area in the Ming Dynasty.
But there are still some people who are not afraid of death! After all, money attracts people's attention.
"Peru, Peru..."
Emperor Zhu frowned and his expression became a little ugly.
It is true that the Ming Dynasty banned smoking, but surrounding countries such as Peru did not ban it at all. As a result, the influx of opium was inevitable.
Then said.
"I was negligent. I thought that as long as there was strict control, drugs would not flow into the Ming Dynasty. It seems that I was too wishful."
In fact, compared with other countries in the world, opium and drugs in the Ming Dynasty were almost not worth mentioning. After all, there were harsh laws and punishments. Trafficking 100 grams of opium was enough to be punished by death. As for smokers, they were also subject to forced labor. But even so, it did not stop some people from yearning for opium.
"It seems that the punishment is still too light."
After thinking for a while, Zhu Xianhai said in a cold tone.
"Since those people are giving up their good lives to smoke opium, let them have their wish. From now on, any drug addicts who are caught will be sentenced to more than five years of hard labor and sent directly to the colonies. If they don't change, we will use whips to make them change. I have to see how many people are giving up their good lives to smoke opium. ..."
The Ming Dynasty is making progress. Since some people are unwilling to make progress, the Ming Dynasty will not wait for them. If they are unwilling, then use the whip to help them. If they can't keep up... then go to hell!
Emperor Zhu had sympathy for some people, but for some people, there was no need for sympathy at all. Even death did not require sympathy.
"As for those brothels that rotate their customers to smoke opium, they must also be shut down and dealt with severely according to the law. Not only must all the money they earn be recovered, but also the principal and interest."
There were no opium dens in the Ming Dynasty, but some people turned brothels into opium dens. They relied on prostitutes and masters to attract customers. For such people, we must not be lenient.
"Also, coordinate with the Military Police Headquarters to set up a border patrol team. If they find drug traffickers, they should be executed on the spot. Drug traffickers must be dealt with severely. If they want to die, then let them die!"
There are some people who must not be treated with mercy. Not to mention them, even those in Peru who sell drugs to Ming Dynasty must be talked to by Ming Dynasty.
"Also, the Police Headquarters can set up an anti-drug task force. From now on, no matter who it is, as long as they smuggle drugs to Ming and its colonies, the task force can directly sneak into other countries and arrest them and bring them to Ming for trial!"
This is a clear violation of the sovereignty of another country!
But what if it’s violated?
Isn't the United States in another world simply using its domestic law to "long-arm" other countries?
What is a violation of sovereignty?
Do weak states have sovereignty?
We have finally become a powerful country. If we don’t bully others and enjoy the pleasure of being a powerful country, what’s the point?
"Your Majesty, this involves some diplomatic issues."
Even as a policeman, he knew that doing so would definitely involve a lot of diplomatic troubles, so of course he had to give a reminder.
"Don't think about any diplomatic issues. Just form a commando team and formulate an action plan. No matter who they are, whether they are in Peru, Tangshan, or any other country, bring them back directly. Let them know that no matter who they are, as long as they dare to transport drugs to the Ming Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty will never let them go!"
Well, from now on, the Ming Dynasty will also begin to implement its own "long-arm law enforcement".
It doesn't matter if other countries are not convinced, they can protest! In the face of their protests, Emperor Zhu will definitely just laugh it off.
If protests were useful, there would be no distinction between weak and strong countries in this world.
"Catch them back and judge them according to our laws. Those who deserve to be killed should be killed, and those who deserve to be imprisoned should be imprisoned. I just don't believe that there are people in this world who are not afraid of death."
Emperor Zhu said coldly.
"No matter who they are, as long as they transport drugs to Ming Dynasty, they will be arrested and brought to Ming Dynasty. Let them experience what Ming Dynasty's iron fist is like."
I have set up a book club: 335260551. Everyone is welcome to join and discuss and deduce the plot together.
