Don’t raise unruly people in extreme cold weather

Chapter 393: The Gangsters in Prison
Perfect was not surprised that there was a black market and smuggling in the city.

After all, even if it was the original world, these things were unavoidable more than two hundred years later, not to mention the current situation where the legal system and management are not sound.
We just know that this kind of thing has its reasons and soil for existence, and no matter how hard we fight, it is impossible to completely eliminate it. However, Perfect still dispatched the police and city guards of Chenobog to clean up the black market and smuggling channels in the city.

If it were under normal circumstances, she would have turned a blind eye. After all, although smuggling was not a good thing, it was a kind of material supplement for the current situation in the North.

Anyway, it's a two-timing affair. Since those who buy things on the black market can afford it, there's no need to be too strict about it.

Unless they are smuggling some important materials or things that can affect the livelihood of ordinary people, Perfectoct is not willing to crack down on smuggling and the black market.

But things are different now.

With the first snow of the year in the North, although the supply of materials in Chenobog could still be guaranteed, it was put under control under the order of Perfect.

To still engage in smuggling at this time is basically to go against Perfectot's orders.

This is intolerable for Perfect, especially as these black market smuggled goods will disrupt normal market order.

What is more critical is that the smuggling of goods and the black market are a disruption to the order of the city, and the gang forces that arise from them are the main destroyers of urban security.

Perfect is cracking down on smuggling, and more importantly, on these gang forces, so that they can behave themselves at this critical moment and not jump out to commit suicide.

But obviously, there are always some people who think this would be a good opportunity, a good time for a gang to grow and develop.

However, they never thought that this so-called good time was also, to a large extent, the time when rulers like Perfecto would crack down most severely on gang forces.

So under Perfecto's orders, the police and army in the North took action, and with the help of intelligence agencies and the Assassin Brotherhood, they launched a special campaign to crack down on gang forces in the North.

As for the small-time black market and smuggling business like the Shelby family, they can only be regarded as the unlucky ones who were caught.

The smugglers who were really targeted were not playing small tricks like theirs, which was just using the train lines to transport small packages of food. Instead, they blatantly used other goods as a cover to transport contraband or smuggled goods into the city, or even transported them to underground settlements for sale.

If it was just food or other daily necessities, Perfect would not think it was a big deal. It was simply that these people did not want to pay taxes, or they felt that the variety of goods through official channels was not rich enough.

This situation has existed before, with some well-connected merchants transporting goods from the New World colonies to the North and then selling them to those settlements.

Because it is also a material supply channel, although Perfect knew about this, he did not crack down on it severely. He just asked people to clean it up occasionally to prevent them from making too much trouble or doing it too blatantly.

But some settlements actually bought military weapons among the goods, which Perfecto couldn't tolerate.

This time, the black market cleanup is mainly aimed at the cleanup and rectification of the smuggling of these banned materials and bulk goods.

Overall, the operation went smoothly. After all, the information obtained by the Northern intelligence agencies and the Assassin Brotherhood was very accurate.

If the police station in the North cannot solve the problem and submit a good answer after summarizing all the situations, then Perfect will wonder if someone feels that they are living too comfortably and want to be built into the wall as a decoration. Obviously, there is no one in the police station in Chernoborg who wants to be a decoration on the wall.

After receiving orders from Perfect, they all devoted themselves very seriously to the crackdown and rectification of the black market and gang forces.

Even if some people have received some gray income before and provided shelter to certain gangs, no one dares to provide shelter to gang members at this time.

We have already done our best by giving them a heads-up before the special rectification begins and asking them to stay out of the spotlight.

These people have a clear idea of ​​which is more important: brain, job or wallet.

As for those corrupt officials who value money over their lives, there are currently no such people in the North. After all, the construction time of the North is too short, and these officials have not had enough time to turn themselves into those greedy fat pigs.

Of course, this is also because their immediate boss is a terrifying being who can actually build people into the walls as living decorative paintings, and no one wants to become the new decoration of their own office.

But if the police are serious about their work, it's bad news for gang members like Tommy.

In addition to the impact on their business, they were also severely affected, just like the flowers and plants swept by a typhoon.

For example, at this moment, the main members of the Shelby family have been thrown into the prison in Chernoborg, and they have been locked up in a large cell.

"Tommy, what's going on?" A family member who was thrown in now had a bruised face and asked Tommy, who also had blood at the corner of his mouth.

"We are unlucky. The lord has ordered the crackdown on the black market and smuggling, as well as crackdown on gang forces, and we have been affected." Tommy was fully aware of his situation. He knew that small characters like the Shelby family would not be the focus of this operation.

Hearing this, Tommy's brother, who was also thrown in, rubbed his newly reattached arm helplessly and said with a grin, "So it's our bad luck?"

"Yeah, it's our bad luck! The higher-ups are probably targeting the big gangs and large-scale smuggling on the streets, and small-time gangs like us are just picked up when the net is cast." Tommy didn't say much to his brother. He was thinking about the family's future path at this time.

This smuggling route that he had worked so hard to build would probably be useless in the future. After all, after what happened, he would not be able to keep his job at the loading and unloading station.

Without the work at the loading and unloading station, it became impossible to re-establish a smuggling route.

He had to think of a new way out for his family.

Fortunately, they had already made a lot of money before, and as long as the money was safe, he could still open the pub as planned.

So Tommy asked his brother directly: "Have you hidden the money? That's the capital we'll use to turn things around after we get out!"

"Don't worry, I gave it to Aunt Polly. She hid the money in a very safe place." Tommy's brother replied with a smile on his face.
