Chapter three hundred and ninetieth cry for help

"Old Master Shen, it's time to eat!"

The prison head held the big food box and delivered it to Shen Degong. He opened the lid and took out eight fried pieces, clear soup, abalone, peeled the whole belly, and roasted sea cucumber from it. Then he brought a pot of 18 years of flower sculptures.

Shen Degong has been in prison for ten days. Although he has not suffered any injuries, this feeling is not good! Especially what made the old man frightened and restless was that he didn't know what Gu Zhenhua would do to him, and would he chop his head with an order. You must know that with Gu Zhenhua's ruthlessness, he could definitely do such a thing.

"Prison, why are the dishes so rich today? Is there an order from above to let me go out?" Shen Degong said with a smile: "I heard that the prince has talked to the merchants and those gangs of Libas. We have to have the best of both worlds. After all, the prince still needs to use the merchants. I can rest assured!"

Shen Degong said, picking up a piece of sea cucumber and putting it into his mouth.

"I'm a little old, but I still can't compare to my family!"

The prison head smiled awkwardly: "Old Shen, you can just make do with it, just... Hey, I really told you, I'm afraid that you will have the last meal in your life!"

Silence!

The chopsticks fell on the table, and a mouthful of sea cucumber stuck in his throat. It was neither up nor down. Shen Degong's face became redder and redder. With a sudden sound, he vomited all the food after eating.

"Prince, Prince. You can't kill me. I'm going to do my best to do it for you! I'm willing to offer all my property, please give me a way out!"

"By the way, prison master, go and talk to the prince. I just said that there are two secret rooms in my house that hide silver, which contains more than 200,000 taels of silver. I will give it all. Isn't it enough to exchange for my life?"

"Mr. Shen, don't think about it. Your good sons and grandsons have already taken everything!"

When Shen Degong heard this, he was like a deflated ball, and his whole body was gone. He leaned against the wooden railing and collapsed on the ground. He cried loudly and burst into tears. Think about how a few days ago, his children and grandchildren were lying around his knees and were prosperous and prosperous. What a pleasure it was.

But in a blink of an eye, he became a prisoner. Now he couldn't even save his head, and the old man completely collapsed. Suddenly, a cry sounded in his ears.

"Old man Shen, let us return our lives!"

"I'll give my life back!"

...

Countless ghosts floated in front of Shen Degong, sneering at him one by one, stretching out their long claws and grabbing him.

"Ah!" With a scream, Shen Degong fainted from fear.

...

After a detailed investigation, the situation of the Shen family was finally clear. There were 25 workers who died at their hands, the most of which were 18. They were buried underground because of the collapse of the mine. The Shen family not only did not rescue him, but also blocked the wellhead. In order to waive the responsibility, they also accused absenteeism of work and robbed theft and escaped. In addition, the Shen family also had serious tax evasion problems. With the identity of the President of the Supervisory Yuan, Shen Degong made fake accounts and paid less than 33,000 taels of tax.

These two charges alone were enough to make Gu Zhenhua murderous. The Shen family had more than 100 people, in addition to Shen Degong, they also had two sons and a grandson. All four of them had to pay for the laborers who were buried alive in the mine. There were also those in charge of the affairs, and those evil slaves who were guilty of being sent to the mine for hard labor.

As for the property confiscated from the Shen family, there are more than 200,000 yuan in current banking, and the remaining land and workshops are also 300,000 to 400,000 yuan. For this money, Gu Zhenhua did not enter the treasury, but set up a special account to provide pensions to workers and their families who were injured or even killed.

In addition, Gu Zhenhua also issued a special order to pass the heads of the four members of the Shen family and their crimes to various prefectures and counties, so that all the merchants and the people can take a look. If anyone dares not take the civilians seriously, then you will lose your head!

Of course, deterrence can only treat the symptoms. In the final analysis, it is necessary to treat the root cause, reorganize the Supervisory Council, enact new regulations, and protect workers.

In addition, there is one of the most important things, that is, overseas workers!

Lu Mingyue brought more than 10,000 North Korean workers to Xuzhou, including Gu Zhenhua, and all the major businessmen were looking forward to it, waiting for the timely rain!

When Lu Mingyue's warship arrived, he received a warm cheer. Gu Zhenhua led everyone to greet him. From a distance, he saw Lu Mingyue's tall figure. Although this general was a female general, his majesty and evil spirit were no worse than others.

Especially the cold and frosty little face, the businessmen unconsciously avoided it and did not dare to look directly at it.

"General Lu, I'm going overseas, but thank you for your hard work!"

Lu Mingyue shook her hair playfully and said with a smile: "What's the hard work for me? I feel so comfortable when I arrive at Pi Island. If you want to be an official, you will be the general in one step. Which woman has my ability? If you want to take revenge, it will be easier. The Liaodong Tartars are right in front of me. I send people over almost every day, like a comb, and comb back and forth, and kill them well. The prince, to be honest, the water in the Yalu River has turned red!"

Gu Zhenhua couldn't help but raise his eyebrows: "General Lu, are you talking seriously?"

Zou Tong, who followed Lu Mingyue, was like a chicken pecking at rice. "Prince, General Lu, that's simply Bai Qi of the world. Zhang Liao of the Three Kingdoms, not only Liaodong, but also North Korea. As long as you hear General Lu's name, children dare not cry!"

Zou Tong was also full of words. He didn't dare to say it under Lu Mingyue's nose, but now he was just right to say it.

"Prince, the Korean who attacked us is called Park Yongtai. This guy was supported by the Tartars. He disdained our General Lu and wrote a letter saying that he wanted to get married. As a result, General Lu was furious and advanced by sea and land, attacked Dingzhou. More than 30,000 troops were killed, and 23,000 were captured. In one night, North Korea was so scared that it was full of urination."

"If you fight well, you will be right, and the barbarians around you are all afraid of power and have no virtue. You should teach you a lesson!"

"Prince, there are even more cruel people. General Lu took the prisoners back and threw Park Yongtai's family from the ship one by one along the way. As a result, countless sharks were attracted, following our fleet! General Lu also tied Park Yongtai to the mast, so he let him watch his relatives be torn into pieces one by one and eaten!"

When Zou Tong said this, he also got goosebumps all over his body. Even Gu Zhenhua and Wu Kaijie were a little surprised and couldn't help but secretly admire him. This guy is so cruel!

Lu Mingyue sneered indifferently: "Killing them is considered a cheaper price. If I had known that the prince would have to collect labor, I would have sent them all back and could still sell them some money! You should know that our Dongjiang River is lonely overseas and we are not well-off at all!"

Wu Kaijie smiled and said, "General Lu, then you can sell people in the future. A good Liba can sell at least twenty or thirty taels of silver. If you see, you are rushing there!"

Lu Mingyue looked in the direction of his finger and found that hundreds of merchants squeezed into the front of the dock, pointing at the prisoners, and placing their heads and making sense of their weight, as if they were looking at animals.

Lu Mingyue rushed over like a gust of wind, and soon came back, with a smile on her face: "I really didn't expect that those ugly monsters with pancake faces and neck legs were so valuable! Prince, let me leave this side of North Korea. I will get as much as I want! Be the most successful human trafficker! Even if I want their princess, I will never be vague!"

Seeing Lu Mingyue's ready-to-hand look, Gu Zhenhua couldn't help but feel frightened. This crazy girl really might not have done anything.

"General Lu, please be more at ease. If you force North Korea to become anxious and completely turn to the Tartars, it will not be our blessing!"

As we were talking, someone had agreed to pay the bank.

"Come on, these three hundred people follow me!"

Jia Wen had just photographed the wooden workshop of the Shen family, and it happened to be short of labor. He bought three hundred at once. All of these North Korean prisoners were tied with ropes, and a string of grasshoppers were taken away.

Jia Wen paid 3,000 taels of silver and 50 taels of security fees. After paying the money, An** would send special personnel to help them take care of the prisoners so that they could escape!

Although fifty taels a month is not cheap, safety guarantee is undoubtedly more important.

"Brother Wu, I heard that there are still a large number of Western merchants coming to purchase after the New Year. I have to process it quickly, so I won't be delayed!"

Wu Shouye also smiled and bowed: "Brother Jia, let's go first. I happened to take on the mine errand and buy some liba back. With these North Koreans, the pressure on our shoulders has been much lighter!"

Many merchants laughed and picked out Liba they liked. They were not sure that since the beginning of this transaction, China has begun an era of slave trade for more than 130 years. Tens of millions of slaves were sold to China. With the blood and tears of these slaves, they completed the initial accumulation of industrial capital. Until the steam engine began to become popular, the slave trade was finally stopped. However, at that time, as a benchmark for world civilization, no one questioned the glamorous behind it. Westerners only cared more about the system, civilization, and tradition of the Celestial Empire. Their scholars began a long era of self-criticism, and the Western world was scolded by them for being worthless!

More than half a month ago, Guide's affairs finally came to light. It will take some time for the reorganization of the Supervisory Council to be reorganized. Gu Zhenhua has already handed over to Yan Yingyuan for handling. Not only Guide, but other places need a comprehensive investigation.

Just when Gu Zhenhua rushed back to Kaifeng with a relaxed mood, Li Jibo suddenly sent someone an expedited letter with a blood letter. It was Geng Zhongming who wrote the blood letter!

...The bloody battles lasted for months, and the heroes died in battle, and the injured were twelve and two or three. The food and ammunition were gone. The people and the soldiers and civilians cried south. They were looking forward to the rescue, like babies looking forward to their parents, waiting for the king's army, like wheat seedlings, looking forward to the sweet rain. The Geng family's father and son were inevitably guilty and the people were innocent. They also asked the King of Zhongshan to help because they were both of the Chinese lineage. If reinforcements still did not arrive, Geng could only bow his knee to the Tartars and save the life of the dog...
