Chapter 393 Gangsters in Prison
Perfect is not surprised that there is a black market and smuggling in the city.
After all, even in the original world, more than two hundred years later, these things are unavoidable, not to mention the fact that the legal system and management are not sound in all aspects now?
I just know that this kind of thing has a reason and soil for its existence. No matter how hard I fight, it can't be completely destroyed. However, Purficott still asked Chernobog's police and city guards to dispatch the city. Clean up the black market and smuggling channels in the country.
If it were normal times, she would have turned a blind eye. After all, although smuggling is not a good thing, it can be regarded as a kind of material for the current situation in the north. of supplement.
Anyway, if you are willing to fight, you are willing to suffer. Since those who go to the black market to buy things can afford the money, there is no need to control this matter too tightly.
Unless they are smuggling some important materials, or things that can affect the livelihood of ordinary people, Purficot is not very willing to crack down on smuggling and the black market.
But the situation is different now.
With the first snowfall of the year in the north, although Chernobog's material supply can still be guaranteed, it has also entered a state of control under Purficott's order.
If you are still smuggling at this time, you are basically working against Purficott's orders.
This is intolerable to Purficott, especially since these black market smuggled materials will disrupt the normal market order.
More importantly, the smuggling of materials and the black market is a kind of destruction to the order of the city, and the gang forces that breed from it are the main destroyers of urban security.
Perfect's fight against smuggling, and more importantly, against these gangs, is to make them calm down at this critical moment and not jump out to seek death.
But obviously, there are always some people who think this will be a good opportunity and a good time for a gang to develop and grow.
But I have never thought that this so-called good time is to a large extent the time when rulers like Purficott crack down on gang forces the most severely.
So under Purficott's order, the police and the army in the north took action. With the help of intelligence agencies and the Assassin Brotherhood, they launched a special rectification operation against the gangs in the north.
As for the small black market and smuggling like the Shelby family, it can only be said that they were the unlucky ones who were swept away.
The smugglers who were really targeted were not just using train lines to transport some small packages of food, but were blatantly using other goods as a cover to transport some contraband. Either the smuggled goods are transported into the city, or they are transported to the settlements below for sale.
If it was just food or other daily necessities, Purficott didn't think it was anything. It was just that these people didn't want to pay taxes, or they felt that the variety of goods through official channels was not rich enough.
This situation has already happened before. Some well-connected merchants transported goods from the New World colonies to the north and then sold them to those settlements.
Because it can be regarded as a material supply channel, although Purficott knew this, he did not crack down on them severely. He only asked people to clean them up occasionally to prevent them from making too much trouble or doing too blatantly.
But the goods purchased by some settlements actually contained military weapons, which made Perfectcott unbearable.
This time the black market cleanup is mainly aimed at cleaning up and rectifying the smuggling of these prohibited materials and bulk goods.
Overall, the operation went very smoothly. After all, the information obtained by the intelligence agencies in the north and the Assassin Brotherhood was very accurate.
After summarizing all aspects of the situation, if the northern police station still cannot solve the problem and submit a beautiful answer sheet, then Purficott will wonder if someone feels that they are living too comfortably. I want to build it into the wall and use it as a decoration. Apparently there was no one in Chernobog's police station who wanted to decorate the walls.
After receiving Purficott's order, they all devoted themselves very seriously to cracking down on and rectifying the black market and gang forces.
Even if someone has received some gray income before and provided shelter to certain gangs, no one dares to provide shelter to gang members at this time.
Being able to give them a warning before the special rectification begins and ask them to quickly avoid the limelight is an act of benevolence.
These people still know very clearly which one is more important: head, job or wallet.
As for the kind of corrupt criminals who want money rather than their lives, there is still no such thing in the Northern Territory. After all, the construction time in the Northern Territory is too short, and these officials have not had time to turn themselves into such greedy fat pigs.
Of course, this is also because their immediate boss is a terrifying being who can literally build people into walls as living decorative paintings. No one wants to become the new decoration of their office.
But the police are serious about their work, which is bad news for gang members like Tommy.
In addition to their business being affected, it was also because they were severely affected like the flowers and plants swept by the typhoon.
For example, at this moment, the main members of the Shelby family were thrown into Chernobog's prison, and they were thoughtfully imprisoned in a large cell.
"Tommy, what's going on?" A family member who was thrown in, with a bruised nose and face, asked Tommy, who was also bleeding from the corner of his mouth.
"It's unlucky for us. The lord ordered to crack down on the black market and smuggling, and crack down on gangs, so we were affected." Tommy has a full understanding of his situation. He knows that the Shelby family is like this Small characters will not be the focus of this operation at all.
Hearing this, Tommy's brother, who was also thrown in, helplessly rubbed his arm that had just been taken back, and said with a grin: "So we are unlucky?"
" Yes, we are unlucky! They should be targeting the big gangs and large-scale smuggling on the street. Small-time smugglers like us just caught it when we cast the net." Tommy didn't catch it with his brother. Duo said that he was thinking about the next way out for his family.
This smuggling route that he worked so hard to manage will probably be useless in the future. After all, it is impossible for him to keep his job at the loading and unloading station after what happened.
And without the job at the loading and unloading station, it becomes impossible to re-establish a smuggling route.
He must think of a new way out for his family.
Fortunately, they had already made a lot of money before. As long as the money was okay, he could still open the tavern as planned.
So Tommy asked his brother directly: "Has the money been hidden? That will be the capital to turn around after we get out!"
"Don't worry, I'll leave it to Aunt Polly. She hid the money in a safe place," Tommy's brother replied with a smile on his face.
