294.Chapter 294: The aftermath of the bloody case

The Wushan bloody case that caused a sensation in Songjiang, after involving an unexpected big man, was finally tried.

Yue Hongwen, the president of the Hongwen Chamber of Commerce, colluded with Haikou and assisted the Sea Dragon Regiment in the sevenfold dà case!

If it is said that Yue Hongwen still has the factor of being coerced to participate in these cases.

With the re-investigation of the suicide case of Steward Cen, it was determined that this person died of homicide, and the instigator behind the scenes was Yue Hongwen himself, and his murder charge was completely implemented, and no one could save him.

Not to mention, he also sent the dead to storm the prison overnight!

With the determination of one crime after another, the entire Dengzhou people know that this once glorious cotton industry giant is finished.

On the first day he was taken into custody by the police station, Yue Hongwen still had some hope that other business friends would try to run for him.

It's just that there is a charge of colluding with Haikou in the past, and even Zhou Tianruichi Kaifeng and they gave up, publicly stating that they don't know anyone and cut off relations with Yue Hongwen, and others will not help.

When the news reached the prison, Yue Hongwen was completely desperate.

At this time, someone secretly entered the prison to visit the former president of the Hongwen Chamber of Commerce and gave him two choices: to be tortured into a trick, or to take a poison pill.

In fact, the result of both choices is the same, one word - death!

Yue Hongwen's heart was full of resentment and regret, but from the moment he jumped up and down most positively, his fate was already doomed.

Since they are all dead, if you are decisive, you can still retain the last bit of dignity and suffer less from flesh and skin.

With the curse of the loser's powerlessness, Yue Hongwen raised his head and swallowed the poison pill.

……… The next day, the news of Yue Hongwen's suicide in prison shook the entire Dengzhou.

Although most people are surprised by this, if you think about it, it is not incomprehensible that after decades of business reputation and serious crimes, it is not incomprehensible that suicide is better than being taken to the vegetable market and beheaded in public with those pirates.

However, Yue Hongwen's death is just the beginning.

If it's just a murder charge, it's nothing, it's just a life for life, and the family is not affected in total.

But Yue Hongwen's biggest crime is that he colluded with Haikou to resell the stolen goods, and even directly participated in dividends.

For this kind of crime, there is a clear provision in the laws of the empire, confiscate the family property, and return the property of the original owner if it can be found, and return it to the government if it cannot be found!

Songjiang's decree is still basically the same imperial decree, and the result of the disposal is naturally needless to say.

Only half a day after Yue Hongwen committed suicide by taking poison, the Songjiang government raided Yue's mansion.

Even the assets of the Hongwen Chamber of Commerce have been seized, and six ongoing transactions have been temporarily frozen.

All the property, land, and shops belonging to Yue Hongwen's name were also confiscated by the government.

For Chen Wu's decisive action, it is not that no one questioned it.

However, after the government released the news that it was willing to auction off some of the fields and shops of the original Yue family at a price lower than the market, many aristocratic chambers of commerce that coveted the wealth of the Yue family immediately stopped making noise and began to support the actions of the Songjiang government.

"Yue Hongwen colluded with Haikou, and he is innocent!"

"Governor Chen made a decisive move, arrested the pirates, and dug out the thieves who were linked to him, he is really a handsome and heroic man who has been seen once in a century!"

"Support the Matsue Army!"

With the voice of these public opinions, Chen Wu's actions against the Hongwen Chamber of Commerce were completely determined.

In order to close the coffin, the Matsue government also acted with unprecedented speed.

Only three days after the seizure was completed and a symbolic return of a little property, the FSB presided over the auction of the first batch.

Assets including 6,000 acres of land, 31 shops, and a large number of antiques, calligraphy, paintings, and jade were put on the auction table.

The Songjiang government did not break its promise, and set a starting price for these excellent assets with a low price of only 70% of the market price.

made a huge concession, but in fact everyone wants to grab good things.

After several price increases, even if everyone deliberately gave in to avoid excessive competition, the final transaction price still exceeded the market price.

The Taiping Army received a staggering amount of financial revenue for this, but these wealthy merchants who participated in the auction did not suffer any losses.

After all, there are many good paddy fields with excellent geographical locations, or cherished unique calligraphy and paintings, which are not necessarily available if you have money on weekdays, and Yue Hongwen will not cede them lightly.

Now they can start with the line, even if they just drink a few sips of broth with the Songjiang government, they are still very satisfied.

Of course, a few bones were thrown out, and while these local forces in Dengzhou were fighting, the real fat was eaten by the Songjiang army.

In addition to the seven-figure gold coins obtained from the auction of these assets, Chen Wu's biggest income is undoubtedly the Hongwen Chamber of Commerce itself.

The assets that were auctioned were all bits and pieces that didn't make a big difference.

Hongwen Chamber of Commerce is different, it itself has a complete supply and delivery channels and a complete set of intermediate systems.

Among them, the core is to master as many as hundreds of middlemen, who directly contact tens of thousands of weavers in Dengzhou City.

The left hand provides the cotton raw materials, and the right hand uses a certain amount of gold coins to recover the finished cotton cloth that meets the standards.

From the cooperation with cotton merchants, to the tandem of tens of thousands of weavers, the unified distribution of tasks and standards to ensure the quality of cotton cloth to maintain competitiveness and reputation, and finally through the channels mastered by the Guò Hongwen Chamber of Commerce, it is marketed all over the world.

This whole set of things is the largest capital of Hongwen Chamber of Commerce.

Without the permission of the Hongwen Chamber of Commerce, outsiders who want to bypass it and directly contact a certain link will inevitably be suppressed and threatened.

Now, with Yue Hongwen's suicide, this set of things that have been in business for many years has fallen into the hands of the Songjiang government.

Ordinary shop pù field, Chen Wu can be auctioned at will.

The core Hongwen Chamber of Commerce, Chen Wu did not move at all, and was directly assigned to the name of the Songjiang government, and specially sent people to supervise it.

Because of this, although the entire Chamber of Commerce has been greatly impacted, and even the owner has changed one, the specific production has not been greatly affected.

With the closing almost complete, the Finance Department of the Songjiang government quickly lifted the freeze on the original transaction.

This huge cotton cloth industry chain immediately resumed production and began to generate amazing profits for Songjiang's finances.

However, the aftermath of the Osan massacre did not end there.

Yue Hongwen's death was certainly a big blow to the Dengzhou Chamber of Commerce Alliance, but it was not enough to completely deter them.

Chen Wu was not satisfied with the immediate results, but ordered the Songjiang government to continue to exert pressure and try to guide public opinion.

You must know that Zhou Tianruichi Kaifeng and other leaders of the Dengzhou Chamber of Commerce had previously come forward to vouch for Yue Hongwen's character.

Since Yue Hongwen was found to be in collusion with Haikou, what about Zhou Tianrui and Chi Kaifeng?

Who can guarantee that the two are in love?

With the news released by the Songjiang government, the entire circle of the Dengzhou Chamber of Commerce and even the nobles of the family suddenly became chaotic.

Many people are vaguely aware that the Songjiang government seems to want to use the issue to expand the crackdown, which is naturally unwilling.

After all, once it expands, anyone can be implicated, and no one dares to guarantee that they are really absolutely clean.

The forces of all parties soon united and began to lobby Chen Wu to intercede.

Of course, Chen Wu knew that politics was a game of game and compromise.

In the face of the uneasiness of the local forces in Dengzhou, he naturally did not force the other party to break up, or tear his face to sweep them all away, which would definitely do more harm than good to his rule.

However, if Chen Wu wants to compromise and give up expanding the scope of the purge, the forces in Dengzhou must also make corresponding concessions.

After two days of closed-door discussions, Chi Kaifeng and Zhou Tianrui reluctantly announced the dissolution of the Dengzhou Chamber of Commerce Alliance, and all members of the original Chamber of Commerce Alliance automatically joined the government-led Southeast Business Federation to accept the guidance of the Interior Administration.

This is undoubtedly what Chen Wu wants.

In response, a day later, a notice was posted in Chen Wu's governor's palace.

After investigation, there were no other forces in Dengzhou City that had any connection with the Sea Dragon Regiment.

In order to reassure these forces and express the determination of the Matsue government to put an end to this matter, the Haikou of the Sea Dragon Regiment will be directly beheaded in a week.

After all, they are all heinous criminals, and there is no need to wait until the autumn queen asks them to give them a chance.

Everyone expressed their support for the government's decision, and they are happy to see it come to fruition!

Those who have been violated by the pirates, such as the head of the Shangguan family, wish the government would immediately kill these pirates.

For example, Zhou Tianruichi Kaifeng and the like were worried that Chen Wu would make a fuss about this repeatedly, so naturally they would not object.

So, a week later, all the pirates were gagged, tied with strong knots, and pushed to the guillotine.

The skulls of pirates all over the ground became a hot topic of discussion in Dengzhou City for the next week.

Under this big news, five death row inmates in the prison contracted the plague and died, and were burned and buried on the spot, so not many people paid attention.

Occasionally, when someone mentions it, the person next to him will only say a few bad words, as if he may be infected if he talks a few more times.

No one knew that a package drop plan carried out by Chen Wu's military intelligence department had been completed.

……… The Matsue army was in a barracks outside the city.

Zhang Shun, the former head of the Sea Dragon Regiment, has now changed his name to Zhang Jiade, wearing a common black blinder to cover half of his face, changing his outfit, and appearing in front of Chen Wu.

Behind him, the third child who also had a makeover and several other henchmen.

"From now on, you are secret agents of the MIA. As for the specific work after being dispatched to Ninghai, I think you all know about it. Remember, as many as you can, you can recruit troops and turn Ninghai upside down. But without the secret order of the Military Intelligence Department, it is absolutely impossible to launch an attack on the three prefectures of Shazhou, Quanzhou and Hualien, understand? ”

"Don't worry, your subordinates understand!"

Zhang Jiade and the other five people all stood respectfully in front of Chen Wu and saluted the new master.

"After a long time with the Governor, you will naturally know that you will never treat your subordinates badly. Do a good job, and wait for the day when the Songjiang Army enters Ninghai, there will be your benefits! ”
