Chapter 908: The Punishment of the Nobles and the Great Discovery of the Archaeological Team
On April 30, 128 AD, the archaeological team of the Eurasian Cross Country was conducting a series of retracements to the underground location where the Dion Empire obtained the Noah's spaceship.
On the same day, major domestic media outlets in the Tianyi Empire were broadcasting live in front of the gate of a marquis's residence.
The marquis is a man named Tadeusz, who was the hero of the annihilation of the old man and was once a major general of the Tianyi mercenary group.
At this moment, Marquis Tadeusz's hands were handcuffed behind his back, and he was dragged out of the gate of the Marquis Palace under the escort of two teams from the Criminal Department and the Anti-Corruption Bureau.
Marquis Tadeusz was being dragged while struggling and shouting: "Long Fei, you bastard! A bunch of our brothers conquered the world for you, helped you capture the entire Mars circle, let you do this
Emperor of the planet! I didn’t expect you to kill us heroes! If the cunning rabbit dies, the lackey will be cooked! You are an ungrateful fucking emperor!”
Marquis Tadeusz shouted hysterically. People who didn't know better thought that Marquis Tadeusz was killed by a dragon.
Marquis Tadeusz continued to curse, and then his head was held down by relevant law enforcement officers as he entered the escort vehicle. The reporters filmed the escort vehicle driving away.
Local reporters at the scene reported that the national authorities have launched a heavy attack in recent days and arrested many nobles involved in fraud.
It turns out that 8 days ago, a piece of news shocked the Tianyi Empire. It was revealed that the three electromagnetic rail elevator stations currently being built by the Tianyi Empire involved major fraud and shoddy internal projects.
Long Fei and the ministers immediately set up a relevant investigation organization to investigate, and Long Fei even gave great power to the investigation organization.
Three electromagnetic track elevator stations were discovered, two of which had shoddy construction and jerry-rigged materials. At the same time, collusion between officials and businessmen was also discovered. In addition to officials, there were also nobles from the meritorious faction involved in the fraud.
Long Fei immediately ordered that all nobles were not allowed to go abroad. The investigation organization would conduct an investigation, and all nobles must cooperate.
Many nobles are involved, and some nobles are selling the resources or raw materials needed for the electromagnetic rail elevator station in their own fiefdoms, and inferior goods are sold at good prices.
The nobles involved had no choice but to plead guilty when the evidence was solid. In addition to being sentenced to jail and having their properties emptied by the court, their noble status was also directly confiscated by Long Fei, and they were treated like ordinary civilians after they were released from prison.
, but the effort required by these nobles to improve their chances in the future is several times that of others.
There are also some nobles who are very involved. In addition to colluding with related merchants, they even cut corners during the contracting project or produce a bunch of shoddy finished products.
Among these nobles were the Marquis of Tadeusz.
Nobles like the Marquis of Tadeusz were petitioned by the court to be deprived of their noble status, all their properties were confiscated, and they were sentenced to criminal slavery when the evidence was conclusive.
Officials, businessmen, and people involved in these frauds may at least be jailed and fined a high amount, or at worst, their property may be confiscated and they may be sentenced to criminal slavery.
In the past few days, countless children of nobles, businessmen, etc. who were involved in fraud, all knelt in front of the palace gate and begged Emperor Long Fei to give him a lighter sentence.
Many aristocratic children held up banners, asking the emperor to be more lenient in recognition of their parents' merits.
Even some nobles came to ask the emperor to forgive those heroes.
When he went to court, many ministers and heroes begged Long Fei for mercy.
"My dear friends, do you think that I have not thought about the contributions of these noble heroes? These things cannot be taken lightly. Just imagine, if the electromagnetic track elevator station collapsed because of their jerry-making and shoddy construction, countless people would be injured.
My precious life died in this accident. When the time comes, who will be charged with these debts? It will be placed on me." Long Fei pointed to his head.
"Those common people who have lost their loved ones will not resent these nobles, but me. I ordered the construction of the electromagnetic orbit station, and these people were killed because of my order. I will be responsible for these sins."
"It's not that I don't want to spare them lightly, but that I must be responsible for the tens of millions of people in the Tianyi Empire. Severely punishing these noble heroes is also to tell all the heroes not to do whatever they want and use themselves just because they made great contributions to me.
The merits of that year are regarded as a gold medal to avoid death."
Long Fei's words left everyone speechless, but some ministers were worried because there were more than ten thousand officials involved in these frauds.
These officials being imprisoned will cause some departments to be understaffed and affect the operation of the government, because it takes time to train officials.
In just a few days, more than 10,000 officials were imprisoned, which has affected the operations of some departments to some extent.
Some ministers told Long Fei about these problems, hoping that the emperor could let go of some officials involved in minor fraud and let them return to their posts.
But Long Fei refused, "No matter who commits a crime, no matter how big or small, he must be punished, and this is also an explanation to the people of the empire, whether they are officials, nobles or rich people, they will all be punished according to this
The laws of the empire will judge."
Everyone knew that the emperor's attitude was to take action on these people as a warning to others.
One of the electromagnetic track elevator stations with no problems is continuing to be constructed, while the other two electromagnetic track elevator stations have been temporarily suspended for a series of investigations.
There are also many officials, nobles and merchants whose properties have been confiscated. The confiscated cash alone currently exceeds 2 trillion Earth Circle coins, not counting the real estate.
Those nobles who had fiefs and could receive part of the tax revenue had their original fiefdoms taken back by the state after being sentenced. For the reclaimed land, the country did not need to allocate part of the tax revenue received to these nobles.
Salamanda was processing documents and signing documents in his legal department building. He saw on the documents that his former colleagues and subordinates were either sentenced to prison or sentenced to criminal slavery.
Looking at the fate of these people, Salamanda could only say: "The hearts of the people are weak, but the feudal nobles are still so greedy to receive taxes. In the end, they ended up like this. It can only be said that they asked for it." After finishing speaking,
I couldn't help but shook my head.
On May 10, 128 AD, the Eurasian Cross Country archaeological team, after unremitting efforts to search, found some relevant evidence, which can confirm that Noah is the god recorded in their country's canon.
The Tianyi Empire's Ministry of Culture sent a team to follow the archaeological team, and there were also agents infiltrated into the team, watching every move of the archaeological team.
The underground layer searched around the location of the spacecraft and found some carvings, writings, and some cultural relics left by the Noahs.
The archaeological team even had some doubts that the Dion Empire had not conducted a series of carpet searches at all, otherwise why would there be all these cultural relics, sculptures, etc. left all around.
Some of the cultural relics are technological products. The archaeological team investigated and confirmed that these technological products had been placed in place for more than 500 years.
It's just that after a long period of exploration, the archaeological team found some things. They only recorded some living customs of the Noah people and some historical records. Most of the technological products were machinery for daily use.
Just when the archaeological team thought it could only achieve this level of progress, a team member accidentally touched the mechanism.
Suddenly, the basement further down was opened, where the archaeological team encountered a major discovery.
