The next day, the entire story of the corruption was published on the empire's official virtual network. For a moment, the whole country was in an uproar. People never expected that in such a harmonious environment, such a big event would happen quietly. After the incident was exposed, public sentiment agitated. Those who are worried are only wondering whether such a major event will have an impact on the empire, which will in turn destabilize the country. Fifteen years after the founding of the empire, the people lived and worked in peace and contentment, and lived a happy life. But now this incident is very likely to affect the people-people who have experienced the troubled times in the late Han Dynasty never want to have the same experience again. There are also harsh ones, pointing out that the people involved either have close ties with the emperor, or have huge potential power in the empire, and I am afraid that the top officials of the empire will be perfunctory. They called on the prince to commit the same crime as the common people, and hoped that the empire's top officials would enforce the law impartially and not let people down. There are also those who are concerned about the safety of the empire. They see that these crazy people actually put their hands into military supplies. Therefore, they hope that the empire can deal with it seriously to avoid such a thing from happening again. They were worried that if the front line collapsed due to such a thing, then the empire's good situation would be in ruins, or even beyond recovery! Of course, there are many people who believe in the official and the emperor, and feel that since this matter has been announced and exposed, the empire will not be perfunctory. There was a lot of discussion about Liao Ling Zong Zong. At the same time, people are also looking forward to it, wanting to know as soon as possible how the empire will deal with the criminals who violated the law this time. Within a few days, the empire officially announced the results of the investigation. This incident. There are nearly 100,000 people directly connected. in. More than 20,000 people will be executed immediately, and the scene of executing criminals will be open to all people and completely transparent. The remaining 70,000 to 80,000 people were all enslaved and deprived of all privileges. Deprive them of all their property, imprison them, or send them to various mining planets for hard labor. Related officials who were not involved in the matter but inadvertently provided convenience were all dismissed from their official positions. According to statistics, the central empire and several edge galaxies. The officials involved, ranging from the largest governor to the smallest town mayor, numbered more than 3,000. At the same time, there are government officials and military generals who have a close relationship with the relevant criminals but are not aware of it and are not involved. He was demoted one level and fined one year's salary as a warning. The relevant trading houses and chambers of commerce have been taken over by the authorities pending processing. Among these penalty provisions. Every one of them is clear. People such as Dong Zhuo and Yuan Shao were imprisoned. Princess Yuying was deprived of all her rights, Liangzhou Commercial Bank was taken over by the government, etc., etc., etc., all were clearly presented in front of people's eyes, without any cover-up. Once the results of the treatment were exposed, people immediately rejoiced. People were originally worried that the empire would be secretive, give light punishment to those big bosses, and cover up the matter, but now they know that is not the case at all. Although they were not killed, they were deprived of all rights and property and imprisoned. For these big guys, this kind of punishment is probably more serious than killing them. As for the imperial concubine Yuying, she was only deprived of all rights and received no other punishment. This is understood by people. After all, she is the imperial concubine, so she cannot be killed, right? This is something that is detrimental to the country and discredits the emperor. " Moreover, after this incident, the emperor will definitely not give any more rights to his concubines. Furthermore, even the Liangzhou Trading Company, a trading firm owned by the emperor, has been dealt with. What else can people say? Enough. Afterwards, Wang Shi publicly issued a letter of apology to all the people, especially the citizens of the fringe galaxies that had been harmed. He also stated that he would exempt those galaxies from paying taxes for three years and mobilize supplies to make those galaxies free as soon as possible. Calm down. Of course, Wang Shi also gave a warning to the current resistance forces in those galaxies, telling them to immediately lay down their weapons and disarm, and the empire would forget about it. Otherwise, a large army will be dispatched to destroy them. In another three days, more than 20,000 people were executed on the grassland. Because it was to serve as a warning to the monkeys, this punishment was carried out in the form of beheading. The heads were rolling in. More than 20,000 heads were piled up into a mountain. The people who were originally prepared to watch the show were shocked. There were more than 20,000 people. This number was not worth shocking. But when things came to an end and blood flowed into rivers, people realized how terrifying this was. How long has it been since people who are used to living a peaceful life have seen so many dead people?! "After this time, no one will commit any crime for a long time." Looking at the hell-like Shura Field in the light screen, Hu Zhao couldn't help but sigh. "That's true." Xun Yu agreed. Tian Feng¡¯s face was expressionless: ¡°You asked for it all.¡± Indeed, you asked for it. To be honest, there is not a single poor household in the current empire. Of course, there are several people who have been harmed.Except for marginal galaxies. Even the most humble slave population can live a prosperous life with their own hands. And among these people who are being killed now, who is not wealthy?! ¡° Either they are important members of some big families, or they are high-level officials of the chamber of commerce. They can¡¯t use up all the credits in their accounts, yet they are so unpopular that they extend their hands into military supplies. They are simply seeking death themselves, and they cannot blame others at all. "What are these dead people doing?" Jushou said from the side: "The focus of work now should be shifted to the purge." The surrounding ministers all nodded. Hu Zhao waved his hand, dispersed the light screen, looked at the ministers present, and said: "The Ministry of Punishment will take the lead in this matter, starting from the center of the empire first." Jushou, the Minister of Punishment, nodded and said: "I propose, "Be polite first and then fight." "How do you say that?" Hu Zhao asked. When Wang Shi proposed this matter, he did not give a specific method, that is, let the Government Affairs Council do it on its own. That's why there is this meeting. "In the name of the Government Affairs Council and the Ministry of Punishment, a document is issued - if there is any stain, take the initiative to admit it. Then you will be given a lighter punishment. If you refuse to admit it, wait until it is found out. Give it a severe punishment!" Hearing this, the ministers couldn't help but stare. As soon as he saw it, Tian Feng said: "This is a good idea." "Well, it seems that everyone agrees, so let's do it." Hu Zhao nodded and said: "This matter still requires the cooperation of Mr. Jia's intelligence department. , I will contact Mr. Jia and make a copy of the information related to all officials in the empire for record. "There is no cover-up about the official purge, and it is also transparent to the public. Regarding this matter, people naturally agree with it very much. many people think that. It should be that the major events that happened previously stimulated the empire's senior officials and triggered this incident. After Wang Shi learned about it, he couldn't help but smile. People's guess is correct. It was precisely because of the previous incident that Wang Shi wanted to cleanse his heart. He wanted to see it. How many moths are there in this country and this civilization now? He wants to know, with generous salary and benefits. How many officials can't help but extend their evil hands? Compared with government affairs, the Military Department has also carried out a series of activities to purify the military. To this. Wang Shi was deeply satisfied. To be honest, when he just came back and learned about the corruption, Wang Shi was also dissatisfied with the military department. These people put their dark hands into military supplies. Wang Shi believed that someone from the military department must be covering up for them. The information obtained from the divine eye also confirmed Wang Shi¡¯s guess. Therefore, while killing those 20,000 people, more than a dozen generals in the army have also been executed. Among them, the one with the highest military rank and position is Qi Yi. It turned out that Yuan Shao's old subordinates played an important role in this incident. It was precisely because he covered up several of Yuan Shao's sons that it lasted for so long before being exposed. In addition to Qi Yi, there are several other generals from Fuxi Star. These people are the ones who provide convenience for Yuying. Likewise, he has also been executed. In addition, there were also some low-level officers in the army, large and small, who were all executed as long as they were slightly involved. Unlike the handlers of the Government Affairs Council who need to abide by the laws of the empire, the military only needs to abide by military laws. Those who violate military laws have only one end, kill! Speaking of which, most of the officers involved were tied up. Only Qi Yi dared to resist. After injuring several law enforcement soldiers, he actually wanted to escape to the three-eyed man. In the end, Zhao Yun caught up with him and stabbed him to death. Because this matter was related to the purity of the army, Guo Jia and others carried out a major purge in the army after asking Wang Shi's opinion. Although this incident involved many people, which made Wang Shi very disappointed, there was also something that made Wang Shi happy. "For example, none of the officers and officials from Cao Cao's group were involved. For example, no one in the empire's various ministries was dragged into the water. Speaking of which, in the entire empire, in the army and in the center of the empire, individually speaking, Cao Cao's group has the greatest potential. Even they were all honest, but Wang Shi couldn't understand how Yuan Shao, a Xu Dan, had the courage to do such things. In fact, when Wang Shi was satisfied with Cao Cao's group of military and political officials, Cao Cao and others were also wiping away cold sweat. Cao Cao¡¯s clansman, Cao Hong, is an extremely greedy and stingy guy. Earlier, Cao Hong was almost dragged into the water. But after all, this guy was smart. He told Cao Cao about this beforehand, and he was immediately stopped by Cao Cao, so he was not involved. Otherwise, I am afraid that Cao Hong and others will be beheaded and imprisoned this time. That's how things have passed. Because Wang Shi did not do Jue after all, the family was relatively harmonious. At thisAmong them, Zhen Yan, who was out on inspection, also hurried back and went to Wang Shi's home to plead guilty. Wang Shi actually has nothing to be picky about, Zhen Yan, his brother-in-law. Although the Zhen family was also involved in this matter, Zhen Yan was really not involved, and he had no knowledge of it at all. Because in recent years, the empire's industry and commerce have developed rapidly, and because more and more galaxies have been discovered in the chaotic star field, Zhen Yan spends most of his time inspecting various galaxies and formulating economic development plans based on the actual local conditions. planning. So he didn't know anything about this matter. The Zhen family didn¡¯t tell him either. Even Zhen Jiang knew the details of the incident and did not inform Zhen Yan. Those who don¡¯t know are not guilty, so Wang Shi comforted Zhen Yan and sent him away. The Zhen family is in decline this time, but after all, there are still the queen and Zhen Yan, the minister of the Ministry of Industry and Commerce, so what Zhen Yan has to do now is to work honestly and accumulate merit in the hope that Wang Shi will see his efforts and results. , free those Zhen family members who were imprisoned and serving hard labor as early as possible.
