Chapter 260 Those are all fate

“Your Majesty, I admit that I would never dare to force a good girl into prostitution. I just came to the capital and wanted to do some business and bought shares in those brothels.

The inside story "I really don't know," Zhu Youshu, the former king of Zhennan who was demoted to the rank of general of Zhenguo, said aggrievedly.

"Yes, Your Majesty, I don't know either." Another clan member spoke aggrievedly.

Immediately afterwards, the other twenty or so clan members spoke one after another.

They have only been in the capital for more than two years and have invested in many businesses, but most of them do not participate in the operation and only receive dividends.

But whether they know the inside story or not, only they themselves know.

Afterwards, everyone spoke one after another without knowing the inside story in advance.

Zhu Houzhao glanced away. Except for a few people, they all lowered their heads and did not dare to make eye contact with the real eyes.

Everyone is terrified and unable to calm down.

Like heaven and God, that's it.

In one word, they would just run here and kneel on their own.

One look made them unable to calm down at all.

If it weren’t for their lives and wealth, many people would have hired someone on the spot.

"Very good." Zhu Houzhao spoke, his eyes were a bit colder, with killing intent.

The vast Ming Shen True Essence spilled out, covering more than a hundred people. One after another figures were caught by the golden True Essence and thrown out, falling to the ground not far away.

“Ouch~!”

“Ah~!”

···

Screams and screams, and soon, forty Many people were thrown out.

Three clans, four nobles, and the rest are officials.

Zhu Houzhao withdrew his true energy and waved his hand to the frightened and kneeling man, "You guys get up, I believe your words for the time being."

Turn around and glare at those who fell. The people on the ground shouted angrily: "Do you think you can hide it from me?"

Those people were shocked and frightened.

They all struggled to get up and knelt down to kowtow.

"Your Majesty, please forgive me, I, I confess."

"Your Majesty, I confess, I know I was wrong."

"I was wronged, Your Majesty, I really didn't know, I just heard it.”

····

The voices of fear rose and fell, and Zhu Houzhao no longer wanted to listen.

"Capture them all and conduct a thorough investigation.

Participating in it and knowing about it in advance is acquiescence and complicity, and shall be dealt with in accordance with the law." Zhu Houzhao said coldly.

“Yes.”

The Jin Yiwei swarmed up, took down these officials, and told them to shut up.

Everyone who stood up felt a sense of fear and joy.

Fortunately, I really didn't know it beforehand, otherwise, I would have been very unlucky.

"If you didn't know in advance that you forced girls into prostitution, I believe you for the time being." Zhu Houzhao turned to look at them, and his tone was gentler.

The next moment, a voice rose: "But, are your relatives and family members involved? We still need to investigate thoroughly.

You just stay here for now, and then talk after a thorough investigation. "

"Yes." Many people were afraid and worried, but they had to respond.

"Uncle, Lao Guo and Er Cao, please follow me." Zhu Houzhao said and walked into the Meridian Gate.

After the group passed the Meridian Gate.

"Your Majesty."

The three elders of the cabinet, Gu Xichao, and Cao Youxiang came up to greet him. They had obviously arrived a long time ago.

Zhu Houzhao didn't leave either. He waved his hand to isolate the sound from the outside world for several feet, and said firmly: "I have decided to immediately seal all brothels, dental shops, and gambling dens in the Ming Dynasty. ”

No one has any objection. Although this matter is big, it is not a big problem for the Ming Dynasty and His Majesty, who are really at their peak now.

Although Guo Bujing, Cao Zhengchun, and Fu Tianjiao were surprised that there was an extra gambling den, they didn't think much about it.

"From now on, no brothels or gambling houses are allowed to exist in the Ming Dynasty. They will all be banned." Zhu Houzhao continued firmly.

In an instant, everyone's expressions changed, and they looked at their Majesty in disbelief.

"Your Majesty, this...!" Ma Wensheng said a little at a loss.

Why should they all be banned?

Everyone else is like this.

Searching is okay, but it is not a big problem for the current court.

If it can be completely banned, that would be a big problem.

Not to mention that this has been around since ancient times.

There are countless people whose interests are connected behind brothels, brothels and gambling houses.

Local gentry, wealthy families, landlords, gangs, as well as major martial arts forces, including Zhengdao.

Even Shaolin and Wudang are all related.

Because the profit sharers of brothels, brothels and gambling houses must be part of the Shaolin and Wudang profit chains.

Maybe it involves high-level officials.

There is no need to verify this at all.

It won’t be a problem to temporarily seal it up, even if it lasts longer. Sooner or later, it will be returned to them. These people can only endure it.

If it can be completely banned, then you are not sure what will happen. "Your Majesty, brothels, brothels and gambling dens have existed since ancient times. If they are banned rashly, it may affect people's livelihood.

And they are all connected with forces from all over the world. If you are not careful, you will be The crowd is excited," Liu Jian said solemnly.

"It has been around since ancient times, is it right?

Borthels, using my Ming women as goods and things to be abused, what is the difference between this and slaves?

Absolutely not They exist in our Ming Dynasty.

I only regret that I didn’t realize earlier that most of them are poor women.

There are also gambling houses. How many people have sold their wives and children to sell them? Female." Zhu Houzhao's tone was filled with undisguised anger and no doubt.

The murderous intention became even stronger: "As for the anger among the people, let them be angry. I want to see how many people dare to jump out?"

After the words fell, everyone fell silent.

Fu Tianjiao and Hua Zhenzhen looked at their husbands with bright eyes, as gentle as water, with excitement and excitement in their mouths.

The one who was more excited than them was Gu Xichao.

My whole body was trembling slightly, but I managed to control it, and looked at His Majesty with fiery eyes.

"Your Majesty, if you want to ban brothels, brothels and gambling houses, you must attack the people behind them.

Most of these people are local gentry and gangs.

Those righteous big forces, on the contrary, It will not be directly related.

If we don’t investigate to the end for the time being, those big forces of the right path should not have an overreaction.

In this way, we can take it step by step and eliminate it first. Brothels, brothels and gambling houses in various places, and at the same time crack down on the gangs and gentry behind them

Then deal with all the gangs that oppress people in cities and towns across the country. "Guo Bujing suppressed the same excitement and said solemnly directly.

"Lao Guo, the order of attack you said is correct, but flies must be swatted and tigers must be beaten.

What about the right path?

I will ask Zhang Sanfeng and Monk Wuji to come forward in person to support you, so don’t worry.

No matter who is involved, I will pursue it to the end this time and kill them all. "Zhu Houzhao said coldly.

Everyone's expressions changed again.

This is really equivalent to cleaning up the Ming Martial Arts.

Because whether it is brothels, gambling houses, or gangs in towns and cities, they are all part of the martial arts forces and have a wide range of connections.

"Your Majesty, our Daming Guards have not yet been completely reorganized, and the Martial Arts Hall has not reached the expected state. If such a large-scale purge is carried out, I am afraid it will cause turmoil.

It is better to do it again. Wait?

Wait until the remaining Daming Guards have been reorganized and the Martial Arts Hall is stronger before taking action. "Liu Jian suppressed his excitement, sighed secretly, and said solemnly.

"No wait. "Zhu Houzhao didn't hesitate at all, his voice was a little regretful, and he gritted his teeth and said: "I used to think about waiting, and when I was ready, I made a move.

But today, looking at those teenage girls, I suddenly realized that every day I wait, I don’t know how many kind people of the Ming Dynasty are being bullied and destroyed at home.

They were all waiting for me to save them, but they didn't wait.

How many more people do I want to disappoint? How late will you be?

I tell you, those are not numbers, they are the lives of the people of Ming Dynasty. "

With a slight snort, he added: "I am very calm now. I know that the court is not fully prepared yet.

It doesn’t matter, now we are not targeting the entire Ming Martial Arts and all classes.

Just knock off part of it.

Now Daming is sufficiently prepared.

Of course, it will definitely cause some turmoil, more people from the Ming court will die, and even innocent people will be implicated.

But since you are a member of the Ming Dynasty, you should understand that you will die for the people.

As for the innocent people, I would rather have them implicated in the killing of crimes than to see more victims continue to suffer.

A true man must never be soft-hearted or hesitant.

No need to say more, I have made up my mind. ”

Everyone listened quietly, unconsciously feeling that their bodies were getting hotter and hotter.

“Yes.”

Everyone shouted in unison, and they all stood firm and stopped trying to dissuade him.

"Okay." Zhu Houzhao nodded, looked at Guo Bujing and Cao Zhengchun, and said solemnly: "After nearly four years of development, do the factory guards have the confidence to do a good job?"

"Your Majesty, with the current strength of the factory guards and the cooperation of the local martial arts hall and the government.

As long as the righteous forces do not act rashly, and I mobilize the experts from the court and the government, I am confident that without causing too much turmoil, I can step by step eliminate the people behind the brothels and gambling houses, as well as all the gangs in the towns that oppress the people. "Guo Bujing said firmly.

"The same is true for Your Majesty and Dongchang. "Cao Zhengchun immediately followed.

"Okay, the Martial Arts Hall and the government will fully cooperate with you. If you need any masters, just say it.

I and Mr. Zheng can take action at any time.

No need to have any scruples. "Zhu Houzhao agreed immediately.

"Yes, I and Eunuch Cao will come up with a comprehensive plan within one day and formally implement it." Guo Bujing said solemnly.

Cao Zhengchun glanced at Guo Bujing and nodded repeatedly.

"Yes." Zhu Houzhao nodded, and then said: "After destroying the brothel, how to place the women inside is also a problem.

In this regard, I think Xiuxiu may have a good idea. , I will ask her, but no matter what, the factory guards are not allowed to harm the innocent people."

"I understand," Guo Bujing and the others responded immediately.

"There is also Yaxing. From now on, all the sales contracts in the Ming Dynasty have no legal effect.

People cannot be bought and sold, even if they are biological fathers and mothers.

Buyers and sellers will be punished as serious crimes.

All wealthy families will be hired, and wages will be paid according to the hiring time.

The hired person can repent at any time and return the wages to the employer. That’s it…”
