Chapter 519
Ziyun kept recording, the booklet in his hand was already full, and he had to replace it with a huge piece of linen.
"Hmph! I can't write anymore!" Ziyun suddenly threw down the cloth and pulled out his short knife: "Just kill these guys to sacrifice to the sky!"
"Random!" Zhao Rui immediately scolded: "The Great Shang Dynasty has laws, how can we kill people at will, especially the officials of our Great Shang Dynasty! We have to understand the crime no matter how we try, so that they can understand it!"
Ziyun forced himself to suppress the anger in his heart, picked up the thread cloth and continued to write.
There were endless people coming to complain, and almost all the people in the city had been troubled by the officials in the city.
What made Zhao Rui most incredible was that none of the nearly 100 merchants in Yanbei City came from the Ministry of Commerce.
However, they were under the title of the Ministry of Commerce and led the support of the big merchants.
"Where is the defenders of Yanbei City?"
Zhao Rui suddenly shouted, and the armored soldiers immediately entered the venue.
In Da Shang, soldiers from any city would unconditionally obey Zhao Rui's orders, otherwise they would be regarded as rebellion.
This point was even written into the Great Commercial Law by Murong Bing and was well-known by every soldier!
The soldiers came out with the city and the backup army.
These people are the lowest-level people in the city and are bullied to death by heavy officials on weekdays.
Now there is always someone who can make decisions, so they naturally have to stand up.
Soon, the city guards and all the troops gathered in the city!
All the officials, merchants, and related personnel were also tied up and pressed on the square.
Zhao Rui raised the Yu King's sword, and the internal force swept out, giving him a little more domineering pressure.
"The crimes of all people from Yanbei City are here! Eight people sentenced to Lingchi, twenty-three people beheaded, and forty-two people beheaded, and the crimes of the other people will be decided after agreement!"
The people in the city immediately cheered, and everything in front of them was completely beyond their imagination.
In the perception of ordinary people, Zhao Rui is the supreme King of Zhao and cannot care about these nosy things.
No one expected that Zhao Rui would really make the decision for them!
The lord of Yanbei City was taken to the high platform, the executioner cleaned the torture instruments and started to use torture directly!
"King Zhao, I am a person in the world, the third leader of the serious Salt Gang, and the court cannot control the affairs of the world! If you kill me today, the Salt Gang will rebel in the future!"
Zhao Rui's murderous intent was a little more.
"I remember that the salt and iron business seems to have been included in the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Commerce. If the public sells it privately, it will not be punished! It seems that the Salt Gang violates the national law,"
As soon as these words were spoken, officials at all levels in Yanbei City were completely silent.
The Salt Gang is extremely powerful and has personnel all over the world. In addition to selling salt and iron, they also sell weapons, leather and other items.
In the past, when the world was in chaos, the Salt Gang and various princes made a living and made a fortune. It can be said that these guys are rich enough to compete with the country!
But now, the world is unified and the Ministry of Commerce is spread all over the country, so there is no need for the so-called Salt Gang at all.
Zhao Rui slowly stood up: "The court will wipe out the Salt Gang soon. If you can provide clues, you will be rewarded with ten taels of silver. If you can capture members of the Salt Gang, you will be rewarded with hundred taels of silver!"
The scene was suddenly boiling, and someone rushed to the platform.
Yanbei City is the starting point of the Salt Gang in the north, and many of the specialty goods in the north are transported from here to all parts of the country.
Therefore, there are many members of the Salt Gang in the city, and thousands of people were arrested in less than three days.
Zhao Rui was not polite to these people, and immediately opened a execution ground and killed none of them.
