Chapter 272: Corruption Case
Compared with Schwaga, who was in a bad mood, Xia Qi was too happy here, because another big business came to his door.
After being ambushed, Shinar finally escaped from life, but he also suffered heavy losses.
Not only did he lose a large number of manpower, but he also lost a lot of weapons and equipment that he traded with Great Xia.
So as a last resort, Amosi once came to Great Xia and wanted to trade again.
When he entered Blue Wolf City, he originally thought that he would need to go to Great Xia City to trade like last time.
But he didn't expect that when he explained his intentions, Hawke showed him on the spot that he could trade with him in Blue Wolf City.
Xia Qi had guessed that the Arata tribe would trade with Great Xia again, so he specially transported some more when he was transporting weapons, equipment and food last time.
Now it's stacked in the Blue Wolf City.
And Xia Qi had already instructed that as long as the other party could get the cattle, sheep and horses, then trade with them, anyway, Daxia would make money.
This news can be said to have made Amo overjoyed.
Although Daxia City is extremely prosperous, it is not a hometown after all.
Now that Hitter is seriously wounded, the Aratha tribe has suffered heavy losses, and the Molkhanate may come at any time, in such a situation, of course, time can be saved.
After completing the deal with Great Xia, Amosi rushed back to the Aratha tribe with the weapons and equipment and food from the trade.
He didn't realize that the current Aratha tribe was no longer able to do without Great Xia unconsciously.
The long-term stubborn struggle with the Morkhanate has left their tribe with no time for development, and they themselves have no talents who are good at development.
Over time, their own food production has begun to be insufficient to feed their own tribes.
Under such circumstances, if one day Great Xia suddenly stopped selling grain to them, then the fate of this Aratha tribe can be imagined.
In other words, the life gate of the Arata tribe has been pinched in the palm of Xia Qi's hand.
After receiving this batch of weapons and food, Shinar immediately sharpened his sword and prepared to attack the Morkhanate and retaliate.
The three cities, which once again received a large number of cattle, sheep and horses, were as lively as a festival.
Sure enough, it's still an arms dealer to make money.
The three cities of Blue Wolf City, Cree City, and Wild Horse City combined, even if they are grazed for several years, may not be able to produce this harvest.
No wonder at the time of the Blue Star, the five streams ...... Itinerant vendors are so keen on this.
With these traded war horses, Xia Qi plans to expand the strength of another wave of cavalry troops.
Because sooner or later, one day, there will be a battle in Great Xia on the grassland.
Don't look at the deep steppe deep in the grassland, the two forces of the Alata tribe and the Morkhanate are fighting fiercely, but in fact, anyone with a discerning eye can see that Shinar is not Shivaka's opponent at all.
Sooner or later, the Arata tribe will be annexed by the Morkhanate Empire.
When the time comes, it will be the turn of Great Xia to fight with it.
To increase the cavalry strength was to prepare for that battle.
In the coming period, there is still a lot of good news overall.
Now there is news from the explorers that a large open-pit iron mine has been found in the Bitter Cold Land, and then the orcs in the Bitter Cold Land have been defeated, and the werewolves and foxes have surrendered to Great Xia.

It was also because of this battle that many soldiers were sacrificed.
The bones of these warriors will be cremated and buried in the martyrs' cemetery outside the city of Great Xia.
On the day of the burial, in order to express the importance of these sacrificed soldiers, Xia Qi personally appeared to preside over the ceremony.
In order to commemorate their contributions in this war, Xia Qi also ordered a monument to be erected at the entrance of the martyrs' cemetery and the bitter cold land.
For the soldiers who sacrificed, Daxia would issue a large amount of pension, which could be regarded as solving their worries.
High salaries, high salaries, and high pensions are the most important factors in ensuring the high morale and combat effectiveness of the Great Xia army.
As for weapons and equipment, although they are also very important, they are not the most important.
But on the contrary, someone hit the ghost mind on these sacrificed soldiers.
"That's a big guts!"
Xia Qi slammed his fist on the desk, like an angry lion, and in an instant, the atmosphere in the service hall dropped to freezing point.
Even Zhang Liang, who was called the eyes of the empire, didn't even dare to come out of the atmosphere for a while.
He knew that this Great Xia City was about to change.
Just now, Pan sent news that someone had done something about the pension and wanted to kill the widow of the martyr!
How does this make Xia Qi not angry?
He only showed his attention to these martyrs on the front foot, and something like this happened on the back foot, which was not only a slap in the face, but also a dig for the foundation of Great Xia!
"Spread my order, close the gates of Great Xia City, and enforce a ban on the whole city! We must find out about this matter. ”
"In addition, if this matter is spread, these people will be terrified all day long before they are arrested!"
Soon, the news spread in Great Xia City, and it can be described as a crowd of excitement.
Among them, the voice of the military department was the highest, demanding that the mastermind behind the scenes be severely punished.
Even, Xiong's quick temper ran directly in front of Xia Qi, saying that he would split those bastards in half one by one.
Because of the presence of witnesses, people have been arrested one after another since that day, and in less than three days, all the people involved in the case have been arrested.
They all confessed to the crimes they had committed.
There were fifteen people involved in this case, and all of them were low-level office workers, and their upper echelons knew nothing about it.
But even so, a charge of lax royal severance can't be escaped.
According to the verdict, all those involved were sentenced to 15 years in prison at the least, and the two main offenders were sentenced to beheading.
As for the place of execution, it was in front of the martyrs' cemetery, and it was carried out seven days later.
Originally, if it was an ordinary corruption case, the sentence would not have been so severe, but who let this case involve the military and provoke the excitement of the crowd?
It happened to be a more serious sentence, as a warning to those who were not right-minded.
Therefore, these people became the chickens that Xia Qi killed and set an example for.
On the day of the execution, the execution site was surrounded by people, and what Xia Qi wanted was such a consequence.
He wants everyone to know not to reach out to things that shouldn't be reached, or else these people will be their example!
Before the execution, the two main criminals were so frightened that they couldn't say a word because their mouths were gagged.
Because Xia Qi had already explained in advance that he wanted these two people to die later after the execution, the position of the guillotine cut was relatively downward.
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
Only two clicks were heard, and the bodies of the two main criminals were split in two.
"It hurts!!"
The upper bodies of the two main criminals rolled and wailed on the execution ground, and it was a full quarter of an hour before they died of agony.
All the people who watched the execution were colorless, and I don't know how many of them would have nightmares tonight.
As the executioner, Yi Zong's face not only did not change in the slightest, but also stepped forward to check on the two main criminals, and after confirming that the two were really dead, the corpses were disposed of.
In the service hall, Xia Qi lowered his head and pondered.
He did not go to watch the execution, nor did he attend to official business, but rarely sat in his seat.
From this case, it is not difficult to see that there are great drawbacks in the current officialdom structure of Great Xia.
In general, the bereavement pension is first handed over by the military headquarters to the government office of the city where the soldier is located, and then by the government to the family of the deceased soldier.
In this process, there is room for those people to operate.
In this case, for example, several petty officials colluded to embezzle one-third of the pension.
When the soldier's widow found out that the amount of the bereavement was wrong and came to inquire about it, the fellows not only drove him out, but also chose to kill him because the matter was revealed.
They dragged the widow into an alley that was usually unoccupied, and luckily, just as they were about to make their move, they were smashed by a cat man from the rodent control department.
The cat man had thought it was just an ordinary robbery, and as soon as he showed up, those people would leave.
Who knew that they were so mad that after being discovered, they even wanted to kill them all together.
By the time the cat man realized that something was wrong, he was already surrounded by a group of people, and he couldn't even escape.
How can a cat man be an opponent of so many people?
Just when the cat people were struggling to resist, a team of patrolling soldiers heard the movement and rushed over, which saved one person and one cat.
The security of the entire Great Xia City is in charge of Pan, and this is why Pan reported this matter to Xia Qi.
Because of the lack of supervision, several petty officials dared to embezzle, and even killed people for fear that the matter would be exposed.
The lowest-level officials have such guts, so what about those city lords who are in charge of one side?
This is still in Great Xia City, under his nose.
Xia Qi was sure that in other cities, there were more things like this, and they were even more shocking.
Xia Qi had been sitting in his seat for a day, and the next day, he was still sitting there and pondering.
On the third day, Zhang Liang was really not at ease, so he had the courage to interrupt him.
"Zhang Liang, has something happened again?" Xia Qi woke up like a dream and looked at Zhang Liang in front of him.
Zhang Liang said worriedly: "Your Majesty, you have been sitting here for almost three days, and Weichen is really worried about your body." ”
"It doesn't matter." Xia Qi waved his hand, indicating that it was okay.
But Zhang Liang was still relieved, and advised: "Your Majesty, why is this so, it's just a few silverfish, you ......"
"You don't understand."
Xia Qi interrupted Zhang Liang's words, then stood up and stretched.
"Let's go, go out with me."
"No!"
Seeing that Xia Qi finally stopped sitting dry, Zhang Liang was overjoyed, and he was directly left behind by official business or something.
