The thief of the fortress dominates the world

Chapter 665
Three days later, Jiang Chuan and his party left Jining City and continued south along the canal.

After the search and suppression by the troops of the two divisions, Qin Mu, no, to be precise, Ji Jinghong, who is the cousin of the current emperor Ji Siyuan, all the henchmen were cleared.

Ji Jinghong's compatriot brother Ji Jingde, that is, Wang Ke, did not die. The one killed by Ji Biao on the execution ground that day was just a death row prisoner wearing a human skin mask disguised as Wang Ke, and he was also a gangster.

His purpose was only to lure out his younger brother Qin Mu, and killing him was also to irritate Qin Mu and make him mess up his mind.

The real Wang Ke is not dead, but is still being secretly imprisoned by the Black Ice Terrace.

As for the original Jining Tong sentenced Ma Bangde and others to a total of 37 criminals, Ma Bangde and seven others were all sentenced to death. Because of their heinous crimes, they were all beheaded at Caishikou on the day Jiang Chuan left Jining City, and all his property was confiscated.

All members of his family who were over ten years old were sentenced to hard labor for life, and those under ten years old were adopted by others after filing with the government.

Another 20 people who committed minor crimes were sentenced to hard labor ranging from 30 years to five years, and all their property was confiscated.

Wang Ke had already "died" once, so naturally he didn't need to be beheaded again.

As for Wang Ke, even though the crime was not fatal, after Jiang Chuan's final consideration, he ordered the Black Ice Terrace to secretly execute him.Anyway, everyone in the world knew that he had been beheaded, and to live was to die.

These people are the remnants of the royal family. Although they don't know their identity yet, who knows if he really doesn't know or fake.

It doesn't matter if they really don't know, Jiang Chuan won't leave any chance for them to mess up the world again.

The government of Jining City has completely changed its blood. The Qingzhou Chief Envoy sent a team headed by a right chief envoy to temporarily preside over Jining's government affairs.

On the one hand, continue to clean up the poison in officialdom in Jeju, on the other hand, wait for the officials selected by the imperial court to take office.

Each province has a left and right chief envoy, and the ancients respected the left, and the left chief is the top leader, and the right chief is the second in command, which is equivalent to a high-ranking official in modern society.

At this time, officials at the prefect level must be selected by the court officials.Zhizhou and county magistrates can be nominated by the chief envoys of each province, and then reported to the Ministry of Officials for appointment.

After the entire Jining officialdom was completely emptied, all the underground gangs in Jining City were also wiped out by the government army. The leaders were either killed or arrested, and many ordinary gangsters were also arrested. Already overcrowded.

All the halls of these gangs were destroyed and sealed off, and all the properties of the gangs were confiscated.

Outside the city, the government army also launched several carpet-like bandit suppression operations in succession, destroying and exterminating more than a dozen cottages of bandits, large and small. , for fear of losing his head.

These measures pleased people's hearts, and the people of Jining City were elated. The sound of fireworks and firecrackers was heard everywhere in the city, and many people rushed to the streets to celebrate and cheer.

The cheering people finally came to the gate of the magistrate's office, presented their umbrellas to the Qingzhou Right Chief Envoy who was temporarily acting as the magistrate, and shouted "Master Qingtian, I can't stand up for a long time."

Zuo Yin, the governor of the right, was full of feelings, ashamed and ashamed, and even said that His Royal Highness the Regent was far-sighted, knowing that the people of Jeju had grievances and could not speak up, so he was sent to eliminate harm for the people.

The news about Jiang Chuan's stay in Jining City was unknown to anyone except the bigwigs in Qingzhou.

But Zuoyne did not dare to covet the power of heaven, even if he wanted to, he would not have the guts.

All the people shouted long live the regent, the grace equals the heavens, and the city of Jining was restored to a bright future.

Of course, these things are for later, Jiang Chuan naturally didn't know, even if he knew, he would at most smile knowingly.

He has experienced many things, and he will not regard this as his glory, but only thinks that this is a matter of course.

Now that I have worked hard to get to that position, the reason is naturally not to enjoy the taste of power, but to bear the responsibility that position should bear.

On the contrary, the various things that happened in Jining this time made him not only not feel relaxed, but instead thought deeply about many things.

A real peaceful and prosperous world cannot be accomplished by disposing of a few corrupt officials, wicked people and thieves, or a few honest officials and capable ministers by privately visiting incognito.

That kind of thing can only exist in film and television dramas, and it is not that simple in reality.

When the people look forward to singing the praises of Lord Qingtian, it just means that the people are already miserable and living in dire straits.

Only when the people feel that the government judges cases fairly and that serving the people wholeheartedly is a normal state, their duty, and what they should do, will there be real peace and prosperity.

Although Jiang Chuan understands that it is very difficult to achieve that situation, whether it is in the previous life or in the present life, and it may never be possible.

But he is willing to do it, willing to try, and willing to fight towards that goal.Even if you can't reach that realm, you will be infinitely close to that goal.

No matter at any time, many naive people will always pin their hopes on a certain group, such as doctors, policemen, soldiers or officials, thinking that their duties are sacred and respected, so their natural moral level is higher than others. People have to be taller.

Naively, they think that they will take the initiative to be selfless, careless, noble, self-denying, transcend the shortcomings of ordinary people, and transcend the willfulness of ordinary people.

People who think this way are not only irresponsible to them, but also irresponsible to themselves.

No one is born noble, no one is a saint.

Everyone has the same desires, human nature, and all the advantages and disadvantages of human nature in others.

The difference is that in the acquired education experience, some people keep those desires, bad habits, and shortcomings in a cage, and hold the key in their own hands, so they appear amiable, gentle, noble, and different.

However, there are also many people whose cages are very thin, and the key is still in the hands of others. If the cage is accidentally opened, the ferocious desires and all shortcomings and bad roots will run out of the cage, and they will run wild, and eventually become villains, scum, Even perverted.

Even in the industries mentioned above, they have resources, power, and violence, so they are more and more tempted or stimulated.

Their cages are thicker, stronger, and more unbreakable than ordinary people, so as to ensure that they can better perform their duties.

Otherwise, once the tiger in their hearts breaks out of its cage, it will be a disaster for ordinary people, even the price of their lives.

Jiang Chuan has always understood this very well, so when he stood at the bow of the boat and looked at the scenery on both sides of the canal, what he kept thinking about was how to keep power in a cage.

Power without boundaries and controls is too easy to get out of control, and power is a very addictive poison.

Appropriate doses can save people, but excessive doses can harm others and ourselves.
