Chapter 81: Punishing Tobacco Sellers

This night, Han Zheng said a lot unconsciously, until later, even he didn't know what he was talking about, and Li Ying had been sitting there quietly, listening, distressed.

Even though she always didn't understand the other party's words, she still listened to them word for word, all she knew was that Han Zheng was bitter in her heart, and that kind of suffering was like suffering.

When the sky was faint and the rooster wanted to sing, Han Zheng finally finished talking in the chatter, and his heart was relaxed for a while, so he fell asleep on the table like that, but the brows were unconsciously wrinkled together in his sleep.

Li Ying came to Han Zheng, carefully looked at every edge and corner of the other party's face, and then stretched out her hand to smooth out Han Zheng's frowning eyebrows, and did not call others to help, she slowly moved Han Zheng to the bed with great effort, and when she left, she couldn't help lowering her head and kissing Han Zheng lightly on her forehead, and quickly peeked at Han Zheng like a thief, and when she saw Han Zheng, she didn't notice it, so she touched her hot cheek with her hand and walked away shyly.

I can't sleep tonight, it seems that there is another one more, although Han Zheng sleeps, Li Ying is destined to be unable to sleep.

The next morning, Han Zheng woke up early, even earlier than ever, not because of anything else, but because he was suffocated—he was suffocated by his bladder.

Last night, he unknowingly drank a lot of tea, and today he naturally wants to expel it, but this matter is really embarrassing.

Han Zheng ran out with a hunched waist in some pain, and after a long time, Han Zheng came out of the toilet next to the camp outside the door, his waist was also straightened, and his face was full of relief.

Thinking of what happened last night, I don't know if I said anything I shouldn't have said, but when I woke up, I couldn't remember anything.

In the morning, the battalion training ground, all the soldiers came here under the leadership of their respective commanders, and everyone knows what happened last night today, depending on what the commanders mean, today is destined to not be a simple time.

After Han Zheng washed up, he came to the playground with a solemn face, and after everyone stood up and saluted, there was not even any foreplay, Han Zheng briefly said what happened last night.

After everyone heard this, the school was silent, and they knew that they were going to have a mission next!

Han Zheng swept the faces of the soldiers with satisfaction, and then continued to say to the soldiers: "Many of you must have heard of the harm of opium, and even you have seen it with your own eyes, there must be many people in your hometown who died because of opium smoking, this should not be denied, and last night, to our heart's pain, there was an incident of collective smoking of cigarettes among our comrades-in-arms!" ”

"They were originally good soldiers, good soldiers and good comrades of everyone, just like you, and now? They have nothing left, just because those black-hearted and deserving big tobacco dealers have poisoned them! In the past, foreign countries used opium to erode our empire, and today those scum still want to use opium to erode us soldiers, are we willing??? Did you say yes!! ”

"I don't want to! Unwillingly! Unwillingly! Every soldier screamed, their anger was completely provoked by Han Zheng, they didn't know anything else, but what they knew was that opium did ruin many people, and even among these people, there were their own relatives and friends.

And now, when they heard their superiors say that those hateful opium dealers wanted to poison their comrades, they were completely furious!

"Okay, everyone will give me a hard investigation, don't let go of any of these scumbags and scum, and those who dare to resist and escape will be shot on the spot, and they will not be tolerated!" Han Zheng is completely determined to eradicate this tumor on his own one-third of an acre of land!

Today's Wuyang County is destined to be an ordinary day, the people are happy, and some people are about to be unlucky.

After Han Zheng's soldiers received Han Zheng's order, no one dared to slack off, Han Zheng personally led people, loaded the guns and bullets, and began a large-scale thorough investigation of the opium halls in the city, as well as those tobacco houses where opium was sold and gathered, as long as opium was involved, it would not be tolerated, all were arrested and imprisoned, and all those who resisted were shot.

Han Zheng never expected that there would be so many opium halls in this small county, and at the same time, he was secretly surprised and afraid.

When I first came, I took people to visit the streets and alleys of the county in person, but I didn't find these at that time, it seems that these cigarette sellers are also afraid of Jiang Sidao looting, but is it not good for their guns to have no bullets? Fortunately, it was discovered early, if it was later, not to mention training strong soldiers, a large group of smokers would appear if his subordinates didn't get it right, and they only knew how to swallow clouds and spit fog all day long!

The so-called remedy, it's not too late, Han Zheng was afraid at the same time, he was also a little relieved in his heart, and secretly rejoiced.

Han Zhengzheng thought of these terrible consequences, so in the next action, he was not merciless, the concept he upheld this time was naturally to cry all over the place, it was better to cry as a family, and at the same time, he also had to deter some small children, and after showing his 'carrot', he also raised his 'big stick'.

These cigarette dealers can be said to have really suffered a catastrophe this time, they didn't care about it at first, thinking that Han Zheng would be like the previous county order, as long as he and others consciously sent some filial piety money, the other party would stop.

But they didn't expect that the past history had become a thing of the past, and they were violently swept away by Han Zheng, Han Zhengjun was not polite at all to the filial piety money he took the initiative to send, but he was also polite to arrest them, and he had no chance to bargain at all, and took people away directly.

There are some outlaws among these cigarette dealers, who want to resist when they see that the other party wants to kill them all, but more people do choose to escape, and those who dare to resist in front of the wolf-like soldiers are a minority after all.

For those soldiers who had already seen blood, killed people, and been on the battlefield, the futile resistance of those outlaws was undoubtedly like sending them to death, and all of them were shot on the spot without exception.

The other cigarette sellers saw the ruthlessness of these soldiers and fled more, but after receiving Han Zheng's order, the soldiers only warned those who fled, and still insisted on shooting them directly.

This time the movement is a bit big, there has been no military rebellion of this scale in the entire county for a long time, the situation in the county town at this time has been instigated by those cigarette dealers, and there has been chaos, but Han Zheng didn't pay attention to it at all, he had thought of this situation before, and he had already sent people to the four gates to guard the city gate, and if he wanted to escape while the chaos, it was undoubtedly a fool's dream.

The arrest lasted until about 2 p.m., and a total of 21 people directly related to it were captured, nearly 10 people resisted and were executed, and as many as 30 were shot for fleeing.

At the same time, dozens of ruffians and hooligans who took the opportunity to loot and riot in the city were shot and killed, and the entire county seemed to be full of blood, and the residents looked at the turmoil outside the door with trembling in their houses, not daring to take a step.

Not every one of these people who were arrested and executed was a boss, most of them were fellow opium dealers and people who aided and abused them, for these people, Han Zheng did not mean to be lenient, he knew that conniving at bad people is persecuting good people, and he also knew the truth that wildfires could not be burned and reborn in the spring breeze.

After the arrest was over, Han Zheng did not stop, but continued to send people to search the homes of these people, and confiscated all things and property from the army.

And the results of the statistics have to make Han Zheng feel what is wealthy!

These opium dealers alone have more than 20 gold sticks, more than 30,000 silver dollars, and nearly 100 catties of opium!

It's just a small county, so much, if it's the whole country, how many should there be? Han Zheng didn't dare to think about it anymore, he just felt that his scalp was numb.

In his previous life, Han Zheng knew about the poisoning of opium in China, but he never expected it to reach such a shocking level, which was also the foreshadowing of Han Zheng's later crackdown on opium in the country.

Han Zheng transported all the confiscated materials back to the camp, and the more than 20 people who were caught were also pressed by the soldiers and taken to the barracks to prepare for the next thing.

Under Han Zheng's arrangement, the soldiers left 100 people to maintain order in the city, and the rest withdrew to the camp.

After entering the camp, Han Zheng called Wang Xian into a separate barracks and asked, "Say, how many are there this time." ”

After Wang Xian heard Han Zheng's words, his face was also a little unpleasant, but he had to say it: "A total of eleven people participated, and as for the others, they didn't find anything abnormal. ”

It turned out that Han Zheng had discussed with Wang Xian before thoroughly investigating the tobacco dealers, and in this process, Han Zheng personally led the team to search and arrest these tobacco houses and tobacco dealers, and Wang Xian led his gendarmerie team to arrest and observe which of the soldiers dared to hide opium privately, and reported it after coming back, this matter was not even known to Xiang Jie, Li Feng, Chen Feng, Cao Debiao and Han Qiang, only the two of them knew about it.

The number that Wang Xian replied at this time was the number of soldiers who had secretly hidden opium found in the morning.

When Han Zheng heard this number, his face became ugly, there were more than 300 people in the whole army, and it had only been a long time since there were so many opium smokers, but after a while, Han Zheng finally said: "Fortunately, we can still bear it." ”

Yes, fortunately, I can bear it, but if I don't put my mind to it this time, I don't know if I can bear it in the future, but I can't verify it.

"You immediately go back today and bring people to arrest all the opium hidden today, lock them up with the four people in front, hand over all the opium and destroy it, and finally deal with it the same as the four people." Han Zheng gritted his teeth and said these words, full of bitterness.

"yes, I see." Wang Xian nodded, feeling a little guilty in his heart. After all, strictly speaking, this kind of thing can be regarded as within the scope of Wang Xian's supervision rights, and at this time, he discovered the seriousness of the matter, which was already considered a dereliction of duty, and Han Zheng did not pursue it, but it did not mean that Wang Xian was not clear.

"And the opium dealers who were caught?" Wang Xian then asked.

"Kill me!" Han Zheng said without thinking about it, and one sentence decided the fate of those people.

After Wang Xian went out, he arrested all those soldiers according to Han Zheng's instructions, and exposed all the affairs of these eleven people, and the soldiers knew the reason.

At four o'clock in the afternoon, after Han Zheng had dealt with the affairs in the camp, he sent people to the city to publicize the execution of the arrested opium dealers at noon tomorrow at noon in the mass grave in the south of the city.

The next morning, the county soon became lively, one after another people came out from all over the city, and then came to the mass grave in the south of the city, quietly waiting for the arrival of Han Zheng and his party, and even many people from the countryside came, some watched the excitement, but more watched the retribution of these villains.

Before Han Zheng arrived, Li Ying found Han Zheng and wanted to follow, Han Zheng saw that the other party was persistent and stubborn, so he agreed.

In fact, after Li Ying decided to accompany Han Zheng in her heart, she first had to integrate into the other party's life, get used to him, and accept him.

After arriving at the location, seeing so many people present, Han Zheng was not surprised, he thought of this result when he was promoting it yesterday.

He walked up to the makeshift platform, pressed his hand down, and everyone fell silent, quietly waiting for the speech of the young officer, who had gradually gained their respect.

"Folks, everyone must know what is going on here, I don't want to talk about those vanity, since the extermination of the water bandits, I thought we should live and work in peace and contentment, and live a good life, but with these moths, how can we rest assured? Today, let you come to witness the destruction of this cancer! ”

After Han Zheng finished speaking, in the cheers of everyone, he brought all the opium dealers up, and then after verifying his identity, he was all blindfolded and pushed by the soldiers and stood in a row.

Then, in the eyes of everyone holding their breath, Han Zheng's gesture fell fiercely, and suddenly the gunshots were remembered, and gurgling blood splashed on the spot.

The silence could be heard, and more than twenty living lives became a thing of the past under the gaze of thousands of spectators, until a long time I remembered the bursts of cheers, mixed with the sorrows of some of the victims' families, and finally all turned into a large mass of neat chanting.

"Lord Qingtian!"

"Lord Qingtian!"

・・・・・・・・・・・・

Li Ying, who was standing behind the platform, was a little scared when she saw these people dying in the gunshots, but at this time, when she heard bursts of cheers and felt the happiness of the people, her nose was a little sour, and when she looked at Han Zheng again, her eyes were full of pride and pride...
