Chapter 278 - Punishment (3) Transactions
After that, Nanfeng asked Ruan Siming to take him down and record the things he knew. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info also ordered the police of Wenlu Township to temporarily imprison all the administrative personnel of Wenlu Township.
Because in Nanfeng's opinion, with such a township chief, the people below are estimated to be no better.
So I locked them up first, and when the investigation was clear, I would return their innocence. At the same time, do your best to mobilize migrant boats. In the shortest possible time, the refugee camps were emptied.
After all, the living conditions in the refugee camp are really not good. Daming's supervision also has big loopholes. If there is an extreme case like Wang Fubai again, it will really damage the image of the Ming Dynasty. Therefore, the best thing to do is to move the refugees out as soon as possible.
In this way, it not only avoids the complaints of refugees, but also converts refugees into new immigrants who meet the requirements of the Ming Dynasty in the shortest possible time.
It can also contribute to the construction of a rich and powerful Ming!
In addition, different investigation teams were dispatched to other refugee camps to prevent the recurrence of similar cases.
However, what happened here was given a gag order by Nanfeng. And specifically mentioned that before the matter is investigated, it is not allowed to leak the news. This is to find out the forces hidden behind the Wang family and avoid startling the snake.
When these things were arranged step by step, west of Wenlu Township, Malacca City. Malay Governor Magorny was pacing back and forth in his governor's palace. But his gaze kept looking out the window, as if waiting for something.
And on his wrinkled hands, he is still holding a glass of 63-year-old red wine. As he moved, the burgundy liquid swayed, as if by some kind of magic.
If you look closely, you will find that there are many water stains on the outer wall of the glass. In fact, it was Magorny's sweat stains, all printed on the glass, revealing the nervousness in his heart.
Such a look is extremely abnormal for him to appear!
For at all times he was the unfazed Malay governor, the noble Marquis of Magorny.
What's more, he just single-handedly caused civil strife in Johor, which turned Johor, which was pro-Daming, into a mess. It should have been proud.
So the person he wants to meet is obviously not ordinary.
When a carriage came to a steady stop downstairs from far and near. A middle-aged man with red hair in a Western-style tuxedo quickly pulled the curtain. The waiter, who had been waiting for a long time, immediately opened the black umbrella in his hand. When he stepped forward, he just blocked most of the man's body.
Seeing this, Magorny breathed a sigh of relief.
Because this person is not an ordinary person, but Wang Qingnian, the mayor of Johor Bahru Town, Johor Bahru City. The ancestors were Chinese from Chaoshan and came to Nanyang very early. Because he was good at enduring hardships and was industrious, he ran a sugar cane plantation in Java, which was controlled by the Dutch.
As a result, it has become the leading Chinese family in Nanyang. After generations of expenditure, the people are extremely prosperous.
Later, the 'Red Creek Massacre' occurred in Java, and the Wang family cooperated with the Dutch colonists and betrayed the interests of the Chinese, and temporarily avoided this disaster.
It's just that the Chinese were slaughtered back then, and those who knew the inside story basically became dead souls. Even the participants of the Wang family passed away suddenly.
Therefore, when Daming was liquidating the 'Hongxi Tragedy', no one reported the Wang family's dirty affairs.
Now this Wang Qingnian is the seventh generation of the direct eldest grandson of the Wang family. If nothing else, he is the new head of the family after the death of the old master.
It was with this in mind that Daming appointed him as the mayor of Johor Bahru City.
It's just that this Wang Qingnian can't change his nature as a businessman, and he is extremely greedy, money, and wealth in his bones. However, due to the Ming Dynasty's strict control over officials, especially the administrative leaders at the municipal and town levels, they are even more impermeable. Let him, the mayor, dare not do anything bad to enrich his own pockets on the bright side.
In addition, Daming's corruption and fraud of officials were punished very severely. So he didn't dare to have the heart to use power for personal gain.
But no matter how strict the law is, there are loopholes to exploit.
Wang Qingnian, who was born as a merchant, asked the side branch of the Wang family to accept benefits from outsiders on his behalf. Like Wang Fubai's father, it was because he helped Wang Qingnian accept bribes, bribes, and benefits that it was so easy to become the head of the township.
Wang Fubai's transverse, domineering, and Taoism can be forcefully suppressed.
After all, ordinary people's eyes are focused on the main line of the Wang family, and naturally they will not pay attention to the side branches that are not famous. The eyes of the discipline inspection department have always been on Wang Qingnian, and they would never have thought that Wang Qingnian would be so opportunistic.
As a result, this act of corruption and perversion of the law was unknowingly concealed from the world.
It is also the place where the Ming Dynasty has invested too little energy in Nanyang, and this place is a place where the Ming Dynasty and all parties are in close contact. So Nanfeng and they don't have the energy to pay attention to the corruption problem within Nanyang.
In addition, the supervision of the discipline inspection department is also very limited. In addition to keeping an eye on a group of major senior administrative officials, there is a weakness in the hearts of others.
Therefore, these factors combine to make Wang Qingnian be able to be free for so long.
So when the British brought a generous gift, they did what they liked. Wang Qingnian got on the thief ship of the British without any courtesy, righteousness, shame, family and country righteousness. And by virtue of his position, he sold a large amount of information to Britain in exchange for huge profits.
Like the recent exercise, Wang Qingnian revealed a lot of rumors in advance. It was only then that many British merchant ships left the port ahead of schedule and escaped being seized by the Ming Dynasty.
There is also last year's smallpox incident, which was given convenience by Wang Qingnian. Let the British merchant ships be able to get through the customs in the dark. The infected smallpox patient entered the Ming Dynasty so easily.
At that time, Wang Qingnian introduced some scapegoats to make himself escape the eyes of the Intelligence Department. But after only being careful for a while, he regained his greedy nature.
Now, he is seduced by the British to complete an important deal.
When he was led by the waiter to the reception room. Magorny happened to sit on the couch and drink all his time. Seeing that Wang Qinglai was coming, he immediately raised his glass. The waiter on the side immediately poured half a glass of red wine.
After seeing Wang Qingnian make a gesture of salute in return, Magorny smiled warmly: "Mayor Wang, it's a pleasure to meet you!" ”。
"Mr. Governor, so do I!" As he spoke, he took a sip of red wine and sat down briskly across from Magorny. And with a snap, he threw the wig on his head on the table.
It turned out that as the mayor of Johor Bahru City, he helped dispatch migrant boats. He took advantage of this opportunity to take a boat to Malacca City. Just to hide people's eyes, he deliberately dressed up as a Westerner.
But the tuxedo, worn on him, is a bit nondescript. After all, tuxedos are tailored to the body type of Westerners, while the climate of Nanyang is hot and humid, and most of the people who live here are petite. This tuxedo is too wide to wear. (To be continued.) )
