Wang Guorui's edict was also passed by the parliament meeting the next day. Anyway, most of the parliament is also puppets supported by Wang Guorui and the others, and Wang Guorui's order is specifically aimed at traitors, so naturally there will be nothing Opinion. Even, everyone will support this kind of strict prosecution of traitors. The stronger a country is, the more it hates traitors. Because the stronger the country is and the higher the national consciousness is, the more it will definitely hate those traitors in the end. Because the nation has a sense of pride, naturally those traitors will not be tolerated.

"The emperor has ordered that all those who have actively contributed to foreigners, provided intelligence to foreigners, and led the way for foreigners in the Qing Dynasty will be held accountable and tried according to the law. , there will be absolutely no date to stop the investigation, so all investigations will be carried out!"

As this edict was announced to the whole country by telegram, it immediately caused panic among many people. Because for so many years, there have been many people who have helped foreigners, and there are countless leading parties who have sold information and helped foreign troops lead the way. And they originally thought that they were not investigated on the spot, and they would not continue to pursue it after Wang Guorui established a new government, but in fact they were wrong. It's so wrong, even if there were people who betrayed the motherland and the nation in the Manchu Qing Dynasty, Wang Guorui would not pursue them because of the change of dynasty, but instead cleaned up these traitors for the Manchu Qing Dynasty. Because they not only betrayed the Manchu Qing government, but also betrayed the country and the nation. Although it was the Manchu government that they harmed, those who died were all Chinese. So even if the Manchu Qing Dynasty perishes, Wang Guorui will not stop pursuing the crimes of those traitors in the Manchu Qing Dynasty because of the perishing of the Manchu Qing Dynasty. So this made many people afraid, because Wang Guorui had zero tolerance for traitors!

Bali Bridge outside the Tongzhou area. Immediately someone began digging into a grave.

"Don't dig, my great-grandfather has passed away for so many years, are you still unwilling to let them go?" a landowner in Tongzhou pleaded.

But those people obviously didn't care, instead they said: "How did your family's wealth come from? Didn't you rely on leading the British and French allied forces back then, and then let the British and French allied forces defeat the monk king's troops, and then invaded Beijing? And Your great-grandfather. Didn’t you rely on the wealth given by the foreign devils to buy the land, and then you have what you are today? It’s not too late, the time has not come, you rely on the wealth you earned by selling your country and compatriots , one day there will be retribution!"

The landlord saw his great-grandfather's grave being dug out. This is an ancestral grave! This is a great insult not only to the ancients, but also to the future generations. But seeing so many people like this, he didn't dare to stop it.

"Great-grandfather! Back then, you relied on leading the way for foreigners. You saved foreigners from being ambushed in exchange for wealth, and we are where we are today, but ill-gotten gains will always be repaid early!"

When the British and French allied forces were at Baliqiao, the Qing army once set up an ambush for the British and French allied forces. However, because an old man in the local area helped the British and French allied forces lead the way, they successfully bypassed the ambush circle, which saved them from a battle that might cause heavy losses. . And no one knows. The old man was rewarded by the British and French allied forces, and only then did he purchase land in Tongzhou. Then became a landowner. When it comes to their descendants, they are getting richer and richer. However, none of these can change their primitive accumulation of sins by selling their compatriots and selling their motherland in exchange for the first bucket of gold. Although forty years have passed, he will still be held accountable now. Even if he died, he would be dug out and flogged alive. There is no peace in death!

If it is not impossible to implicate future generations, then perhaps his descendants will also be punished to death!

"Back then, because of my great-grandfather's wisdom, I was able to help foreigners gain wealth in time. But now it seems that people are messing around in the rivers and lakes, and there will be a day to pay back. And now I am in front of my neighbors. I can't even lift my head up! "

Those who were still envious of their family's wealth looked at him with contempt now, because he was a descendant of a traitor. Their family's wealth came from a wrong path when the first pot of gold came, relying on the wealth obtained in exchange for the blood of their compatriots. Even after the hard work of the descendants, the wealth increased, but they thought that the money was dirty money. Even if they sold all the wealth, it would not be able to make up for the sacrifices of their compatriots caused by their ancestors. So they are all looked down upon now, because even if they earned the money later, in the eyes of most people, it is still dirty money, and it is also stained with the blood of their compatriots, because their primitive accumulation They are also full of blood and crime.

And the ancestral graves have been dug here, and there are many people in Shandong, the northeast, and even the south, and many people are panicking.

"Why did Zhang commit suicide?" a man from Shandong asked.

"Yeah! Why did Lao Zhang commit suicide? Wasn't he fine before?" "Yeah! Why did he commit suicide for no reason?" "You don't know, do you? He happened to lose all his money and was afraid of being scolded by his wife when he went back, so he helped the Japanese pirates to report the news of the Beiyang Navy at that time, in exchange for three taels of silver!" "Three taels of silver, so you went to work for the Japanese pirates?" "Yes! Three taels of silver, back then it was for three taels of silver, but now... hey!" "Back then, for three taels of silver, now even an ordinary worker can spend at least seven taels of silver every month! If you have some skills, then More than a dozen taels of silver every month is commonplace! Lao Zhang is a foreman, and he spends no less than twenty taels of silver every month! It’s a pity that three taels of silver back then has become a life-threatening talisman!” “Yes! Knowing today, why bother at the beginning!"

"Old Zhang is true, and the court has no evidence. Why did he commit suicide so early?" "If he doesn't say anything, who knows!" "However, he has been very nervous over the years. I heard that he often Waking up while sleeping, it seems that I had a nightmare, as if I was killed by the Beiyang Navy!" "Hey! For three taels of silver, is it worth it?"...

In Shandong, the Northeast, and some places in the South, many people who had helped foreigners also fell into despair when they heard the news that no traitor would be pardoned and that they would all be tried and killed. Even if many people have not been caught for evidence, they have gone to extremes.

"Your Majesty, more than a thousand people have committed suicide in fear of crime. However, in fact, more than 90% of our State Security Bureau has no evidence at all, but they all committed suicide in fear of crime. After they committed suicide, their family members They were also discriminated against by the neighbors around them. Some people even moved away and were unwilling to stay where they were. Many of their descendants were ashamed to have his surname, and some even changed their surnames in the end. It seems that the emperor’s edict, That's really more useful than our State Security Bureau's investigation!"

Wang Guorui said affirmatively: "These ill-gotten gains from betraying their compatriots may give them a temporary stability. But in the end, they will inevitably be neither human nor ghost, even if they can escape the punishment of the law. But their conscience punishment will definitely make them restless for a lifetime. The reason why we humans are not animals is because each of us has a conscience. Since ancient times, there has never been a person who betrayed his motherland as a traitor, who can be completely innocent The impact of living. From the day they betrayed their compatriots, stained their crowns with their blood, and exchanged their blood and lives for wealth, they are no longer alone. They are already a walking dead, no more One's own soul. Selling one's soul in exchange for wealth and honor will inevitably bring about a condemnation of conscience. Sometimes this kind of condemnation may be worse than criminal punishment. Because once a person loses his conscience, some At that time, they will be neither human nor ghost for the rest of their lives. As long as one day becomes a traitor~lightnovelpub.net~, he will no longer be a living person in this life, but a ghost. To betray fellow countrymen is the greatest crime, compared to Any crime will be abominable. So we can't give up the pursuit because of this, they are no longer worthy of being a human being. So, if they commit suicide, let them go!"

"As for their family members, I have nothing to do. I also hope to tell everyone that being a traitor is not only my own business, but also affects my family. If a person becomes a traitor, their family members and future generations will all suffer. I am ashamed of this. Therefore, being a traitor is not a matter of one person, but it is also related to your descendants. Your descendants will also be ashamed of you, which is more serious than any other crime!"

Maybe some people can honestly accept that their ancestors were a murderer, or even a murderous criminal, even if their ancestors committed other crimes, they may be able to admit it frankly. But he has no face to say that his ancestors were traitors. This is the reason, because being a traitor is one of the most shameful crimes. Because he is a crime related to the people of the whole country, even if it is only one or two people who kill, it does not directly hit the whole country with a map gun like a traitor. Once he becomes a traitor, the younger generations will be ashamed of him, so after he becomes a traitor, in anyone's heart, he is actually "dead". After being a traitor for a day, he is already a "ghost" in this life, and he will always be a dead person in everyone's heart. (To be continued.) uw
