Iron Dynasty

When Yu Zhiyong saw the imperial guard, he could not help but slumped on the ground, and then burst into tears.

Ge Yiren, I shouldn't believe your nonsense, it's over now, it's over.

The captain of the secret guard looked at Yu Zhiyong coldly. At the same time, the guards who followed them were sealing up Yu Zhiyong's mansion.

Since you already know, let's take a trip with us. There was no emotion in the captain's tone.

At that time, Ge Yiren took Yu Zhiyong and Ni Kuang to Qingzhou, and later was summoned by the emperor to take charge of the promotion of New Confucianism.

Therefore, the communication between the three has always been very close. While Ge Yiren was being monitored, Yu Zhiyong and Ni Kuangyi were not left behind.

Yu Zhiyong cried and clapped the ground with his hands. Originally, they didn't want to get involved with Ge Yiren.

But Ge Yiren has too many secrets in their hands, so they can only continue to follow Ge Yiren all the way to the dark.

After the incident, he had been uneasy all the time, and now the secret guard really came to the door.

Seeing that Yu Zhiyong ignored him and still cried, the captain of the secret guard immediately ordered Yu Zhiyong to be taken away.

At the same time, Ni Kuang, who was about to go out, was also blocked at the door of his house. After being shackled, he could not help but be taken away.

In addition, the figures of the secret guards also appeared in front of some officials and the royal family. Whenever they appeared, there would always be some dignitaries who were prominent in Qingzhou on weekdays and were arrested.

Such a large-scale action spread quickly in Qingzhou City, and everyone in Qingzhou City was in danger for a while.

Zhu Family Courtyard.

Zhu Wuliu glanced at the merchant who was taken away through the crack of the door and shuddered, closed the door tightly and returned to the main hall.

At this time, Ding Wu was waiting for Zhu Wuliu in the main hall.

After the accident, he came to Zhu Wuliu. After all, among the many businessmen in Qingzhou, Zhu Wuliu was very well informed.

It's a chicken flying and a dog is jumping, and which official was arrested. Ding Wu asked nervously.

This happened so suddenly that everyone had no time to react. Now many people are afraid that they will be taken away inexplicably.

This time it's not an official, it's Han Dafeng next door. Zhu Wuliu looked solemn.

Han Dafeng, isn't it only for officials and nobles? Ding Wu jumped up like a cat whose tail was stepped on, Do you think this will involve us?

Zhu Wuliu is also a little confused now, Ge Yiren was eating the emperor's meal, but demolished the emperor's stage, it is reasonable to be arrested, but it is probably not so simple to arrest the businessman, news came from Ge's house, Before Ge Yiren was arrested, he asked the steward to get rid of Ren He, who may have something to do with the Merchant Council.

So, this operation is actually two things done together? Ding Wu sighed lightly.

Maybe. Zhu Wuliu said: This Han Dafeng also came from the south, so it makes sense.

I feel at ease with this, at least it has nothing to do with us.

Zhu Wuliu's face was a little ugly, I still have some business dealings with this Han Dafeng, but don't get me involved, we are just doing business.

Ding Wu glanced at Zhu Wuliu sympathetically. This Zhu Wuliu started working hard from a poor family and has become a giant businessman in Qingzhou who can be on an equal footing with him.

However, he knew that Zhu Wuliu's status today was inseparable from the royal care for him.

So he said: The emperor is so wise and won't arbitrarily arrest people. Since it has nothing to do with us, let's talk about this business issue. Now that the imperial court allows us to transfer the steam engine industry overseas, what are your plans?

Zhu Wuliu thought about it too, because his brother was Zhu Sansi, and he never dared to cross the line on sensitive issues.

Putting his mind at ease, he said, I'm going to transport the obsolete steam engine equipment to Nanyang, where the natives will work for you as long as they have food to eat.

Even so, Nanyang is an uncivilized land. Can those indigenous people concentrate on their work? I would like to go to the Japanese country. It is said that the situation in the Japanese country has gradually stabilized, and it is still very close to the country. Ding Wu said tentatively.

Zhu Wuliu laughed when he heard the words, and he said, Brother Ding, listen to me, this Japanese country can't go to the country for the time being. It's okay to open a mine, but it's still early for the factory.

Ding Wu understands that he is the second purpose of his coming here. After electricity replaced coal, he and Zhu Wuliu, a big businessman, have accumulated a lot of steam engine equipment.

It's too wasteful to let these devices sit so everyone wants to get out.

The two were chatting, and suddenly sporadic gunshots rang out, which changed their expressions. Obviously, the situation escalated.

Royal study.

Li San's face was very ugly after receiving the call in the side hall. He hurried to Xiao Ming and he said, Your Majesty, there was a shootout when we were arresting the remnants of the Chamber of Commerce in the industrial zone, and a secret guard was injured.

Gun battle! Xiao Ming frowned, The empire strictly forbids people to hide firearms, how can these businessmen have firearms?

The secret guard found a hidden room under a textile factory with imitation firearms. Li San said.

Xiao Ming's face turned cold. There were many problems exposed this time. There is no doubt that the most profitable business in this era is weapons.

Now this incident is enough to prove that Cao Kun has planned and prepared for a long time.

After pondering for a while, he said: I will immediately notify the six major military regions and ask them to send soldiers to cooperate with the secret guard operation. This time, we must eradicate the roots! There will be no legacy.

With the cooperation of the army, this matter will not be a problem. Li San said happily.

After all, Xiao Ming picked up the phone and called Cui Shangan to give orders to the military region.

After doing this, Xiao Ming felt that it was not enough. He said: We should also let some people see the results of our reforms over the years, so that they can understand the real power of the empire.

Qian Dafu immediately understood what Xiao Ming meant, and he did the same when he cleaned up the wealthy in the six states.

Qian Dafu, tomorrow the arrest list will be published in the newspaper. In order to call on the militia to launch a nationwide action to cut off the evil forces that are disrupting the empire, I will write an article myself to put it right. Xiao Ming said with a sneer.

Li San couldn't help swallowing. Back then, the Wang family had not escaped this trick. Once Xiao Ming did this, a rectification storm that swept the empire would really come.

However, he is also worried, for fear that doing so will overcorrect and hurt a lot by mistake, but it seems that he will overcorrect the current evil spirits of the empire.

Otherwise, even if the group of Ge Yiren were removed, those old nobles who were safe and sound would continue to be above the common people.
