He quickly sorted and polished it himself, and then took these essays to the Prince of England's Palace to ask for an audience with Zhu Han.
After Zhu Han saw the intelligence from these spies, he couldn't help but became furious.
Regarding the beggar gangs in ancient feudal society, Zhu Han had long known that they were not the kind of chivalrous and righteous organizations mentioned in martial arts.
But Zhu Han did not expect that it was not just a simple harbor of filth, but a scum gang with heinous crimes.
Under the close investigation by Yingtian Mansion's spies, the Yingtian Beggar Clan, headed by Gang Leader Hong, basically exposed all its criminal activities.
"Abducting children, cutting off their hands and feet, and making them into tools for begging to gain sympathy from others, this really deserves to be put to death!"
Among them, what shocked Zhu Han the most was the information about beggar gangs abducting, selling, and harvesting children.
Yingtianfu has become increasingly prosperous in recent years, and the prosperous business has brought many new business opportunities.
The members of the Beggar Clan saw people's lavish intentions, and cutting off their own hands and feet could no longer satisfy their desires, so they began to mutilate children on a large scale.
"Your Highness, I have ordered all these thieves to be monitored. With just one order, they can be returned to their homes quickly!" Hu Weiyong said quickly from the side.
In Yingtian Mansion in the capital, at the foot of the emperor, there was such a bad thing hiding. Hu Weiyong knew that if he didn't act more proactively, he would definitely be blamed.
"These beasts, they not only abduct children, but they also secretly traffic women, and they also have a monopoly on transporting manure, water and fertilizer in the city?"
Zhu Han read the following scroll again and immediately had a clearer understanding of this beggar gang.
Among the traditional businesses of the Beggar Gang, begging on the streets is one of their main businesses. Others, including extortion during weddings and weddings, and abduction and trafficking of women are also their traditional businesses.
These lower-class people, who come together from three religions and nine streams, have almost no idea of following morality and the rule of law. They are willing to abide by the rules of their own small group and ignore national laws at all.
After all, these beggars with very low educational levels do not know any specific national laws and regulations.
If you want to make a living in a beggar gang, you just need to listen to the gang leader and leader.
"Can't the Ming Dynasty's court still be able to cure these rotten fish and shrimps?"
Zhu Han could not tolerate this beggar gang that was full of crimes at all.
"Your Highness, as long as you give the order, I will arrest them all immediately." Hu Weiyong said quickly from the side.
Unexpectedly, Zhu Han waved his hand.
"Don't worry, none of these beasts can escape. Go and send people to investigate quickly. Not only must you find out the details of these beggar gangs, but you must also find out who in Yingtian Mansion is protecting them!" Zhu Han
He said coldly.
When Hu Weiyong heard this, his expression immediately changed.
"Your Highness, the officials of the imperial court may have been deceived, but they should not be used as a protective umbrella for these scum.
"
Before Hu Weiyong finished speaking, he was coldly interrupted by Zhu Han.
"Without the protection of court officials, how dare they, low-life people, dare to do such unscrupulous things on the street so blatantly?" Zhu Han said.
When Hu Weiyong heard this, he immediately did not dare to defend himself.
….
"Don't worry, Your Highness, I will check everyone immediately after I get back!"
"Okay, go ahead, but you must be hidden. Don't scare these people away. If you miss a thief, you are the only one asking!"
"Don't worry, Your Highness, I will keep an eye on you all the way!" Hu Weiyong was immediately shocked.
With something so unconscionable happening at the feet of the Emperor, if Hu Weiyong hadn't behaved well, his hard work over the years would have been ruined.
To be honest, Hu Weiyong felt that he had joined the Ming Dynasty camp and was considered one of the very early heroes. Although he was a civil servant and could not go into battle to kill the enemy, people like Xu Da often met Chun Zhou Dexing and others who had made great contributions.
but.
Hu Weiyong felt that he was in administrative
His talents and contributions are second only to Li Shanchang, Liu Bowen, Shi Naian and others.
But every time he saw His Royal Highness, Hu Weiyong always felt that His Royal Highness's sharp eyes were always full of suspicion and scrutiny of him.
Hu Weiyong didn't know why His Royal Highness the King seemed to be wary of him despite all his hard work for so many years.
The more unclear the situation was, the more cautious Hu Weiyong became.
After Hu Weiyong returned, he did not go home for three days in a row. He stayed in the Yamen all day long to eat and drink. He urged his spies to investigate all the beggar gangs and other similar gangs in Yingtian Mansion.
After Hu Weiyong left, Zhu Han took these articles to the palace and reported to his elder brother Zhu Yuanzhang.
"What, the majestic Yingtian Mansion actually does such a thing?"
After Zhu Yuanzhang heard Zhu Han's description, he read the file sent carefully and immediately became furious.
The various evil deeds of the Beggar Clan described in these files can almost be said to make people and gods angry.
"We also had to make a living back then. When you and I were living on the streets, we never saw so many scum and evil deeds!" Brother Zhu Yuanzhang said sadly.
To be honest, their days of escaping from famine and working as beggars on the streets were full of hardships and dangers, but most of them came from the danger of not being able to fill their stomachs. Such cannibalism was really rare.
"Brother, there is no way to do this. Back then, there was a great disaster in the world, and everyone did not have enough to eat. Even if you were pitiful, no one would be kind enough to reward you. Now that the people of the Ming Dynasty have improved their lives, when they see these poor people, they will
Give some money as charity, this is what the agents of the Beggar Clan are interested in!" Zhu Han said from the side.
"Then why are these scum still being kept? Immediately order the Jin Yiwei to arrest them. After they are caught, they don't need to be handed over to the Sanfa Department. They will all be beheaded!" Zhu Yuanzhang said angrily.
Among the crimes committed by these beggar gangs, the one that angered Zhu Yuanzhang the most was their harvesting and harvesting.
Although many of the children were indeed sold to the beggar gang by their parents and relatives, their subsequent cruel methods would definitely make Zhu Yuanzhang furious.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang saw a report on the death of a child who was harvesting raw materials.
"Qi Wu, look at these beasts here. They even covered this child with dog skin, trying to make him pretend to be a human dog! If you don't skin these scum like them and make them grass, we, the emperor, will be theirs!"
….
Brother Zhu Yuanzhang is so angry because the crimes of these beggar gangs are really disgusting and infuriating.
There is another important reason, that is, Zhu Yuanzhang feels that he has been deceived and deceived.
With the help of Zhu Han, the Ming Dynasty has been prospering in civil and martial arts since its establishment, ranking first in the world. The powerful Mongols also fled, leaving their homeland on the Mongolian plateau to the Ming army.
In terms of internal affairs, the Ming Dynasty was unprecedented and unparalleled. In just a few years, it restored the poor people's livelihood, the world's population surged by millions, and trade was so prosperous that the Ming Dynasty could be supported by commercial taxes alone.
An army of nearly one million.
But behind such brilliant civil and martial arts, in the Yingtian Mansion at the feet of the emperor, there were such dirty crimes, which were performed every day.
Zhu Yuanzhang felt that his Ming Dynasty was glorious on the outside, but full of poisonous insects, rats, and ants on the inside.
He felt a little ashamed and panicked on his face, and even doubted whether the people would question the imperial court because of this.
"These scum must be severely punished! However, after eradicating these scum in Yingtian, other prosperous big cities like Suzhou, Hangzhou, and Guangzhou will probably also have these abuses and crimes!" Zhu Han said patiently next to him.
"Then kill them all the same! Those thieves who were killed will not dare to commit crimes again, and others will be so stupid that they will not dare to imitate them again!" Brother Zhu Yuanzhang said harshly.
Zhu Han shook his head.
"If you just rely on killing people, you can only control it for a while, but not for a lifetime. I am afraid that this kind of crime will inevitably occur in the Ming Dynasty in the future. After all, it is too easy to make money!" Zhu Han said.
Brother immediately understood that Zhu Han already had his own ideas.
"Qiwu, tell us quickly, what can you do?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked.
"These scum must be killed, and they must be killed openly. Just give them a public execution!" Zhu Han said.
Brother Zhu Yuanzhang nodded, they had already carried out public executions.
When we were fighting against the Red Scarf Army, one of their important means of attacking local tyrants and dividing their land was public execution.
As for the process, they are all heard publicly first and then executed in court.
The death penalty in ordinary government offices is usually executed after autumn, and is not as deterrent as this kind of immediate public execution.
"Then behead them all immediately! You must have something else to say, right?" Brother Zhu Yuanzhang continued to ask.
Zhu Han smiled and then said.
"That's right, killing them all only solves the immediate problem. If you want to prevent people from committing such crimes in the future, you have to eliminate them from the source."
"Tell me how to eradicate it?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked.
In fact, Zhu Han's method is not that complicated.
The reason why these criminal organizations exist is because there are local unemployed and homeless people who are not willing to participate in normal labor and just want to live in a prosperous big city like Yingtianfu. Even if they beg and cheat, they will not be able to survive.
It allows them to easily achieve the conditions of food and clothing.
As for more desires after food and clothing, naturally they have to be realized through other criminal ways.
"Order a nationwide census of beggars and refugees. Anyone who can return to their place of origin will be given documents by the imperial court and resettled in their original government offices!"
….
"If there are people who are unwilling to return to their place of origin, the local government can also resettle them according to their personal conditions. Whether it is in official fields or in factories, they can find a job within their capabilities!"
"If there are still many people who are unwilling to contribute in a down-to-earth manner, hey, then give them another way out!"
