Chapter 145: Arrest

A middle-aged man with a gloomy face walked out of the room, and he saw that the middle-aged man's face was a little angry, and he led several family members with swords to walk outside the house. At this time, the middle-aged man didn't know what was going on outside, he just heard a bunch of screams and shouts in the courtyard outside, and he had been discussing things in the secret room before. When he heard these voices, he thought that someone had come to his yard to make trouble, so he came out in a rage.

However, when he walked out of the courtyard, he saw many people in black military uniforms searching and arresting him in the courtyard, and he was immediately frightened and turned pale.

The East Window incident happened, and the word suddenly popped up in his mind.

What to do? Now I'm afraid that I can't escape, and the fish will die and the net will be broken?

Just when the middle-aged man was in a daze, he saw that several family members behind him saw that it was people from the government who were coming, and they threw their weapons to the ground and bent down in surrender. Those subordinates of the dragon group stepped forward one after another to control those family members, and then surrounded the middle-aged man who was still holding a weapon in his hand.

"Zhang Zengxuan, originally from Luoyang Yanshi. Both parents died in the family, 41 years old this year, three sons and five daughters. The seven-room concubine, who was the adjutant of the Luoyang City Finance Bureau, did not read the grace of the Marquis of Pingbei, fornicated with the thief and the enemy, and betrayed the news. is willing to be a traitor, which is extremely hateful and outrageous. The Dragon Team and members of the Investigation Division were specially dispatched to arrest them. All the relevant personnel in the hospital will be released from education at the light level, and secondly, they will be detained for a period of time and sent to labor reform. The heavier ones were beheaded for public display. His wife and children were accomplices and were beheaded. ”

That Zhang Zengxuan's face was depressed, the blade in his hand had already fallen to the ground, and the soldiers next to him immediately went up to hold Zhang Zengxuan from moving.

"Please, please let my children go, they, they don't know anything, they really don't know anything, let them go!"

Meng Yu frowned, but he didn't say to let go of these two words, but said, "Take it away!" ”

That Zhang Zengxuan's face suddenly seemed to be more than ten years old, he knew that not only was he going to die, but his wife and children were probably not spared. Although it is not a rebellion now, its actual significance is almost the same as that of the rebellion, but it is not in name.

After this Zhang Zengxuan was taken away. Meng Yu led dozens of people to the next place in a hurry to carry out another arrest. Meng Yu had a list in his hand, and the people on the list were all arrested, but those who were about to be arrested did not know that they had been blacklisted. Some people are even drinking tea at home at this time.

"Let's go to Eastside."

There are more than 20 people arrested this time, not only officials, businessmen, squires and civilians, etc., with different behaviors, and some of them are suspected of being traitors of the enemy army to be arrested, it can be said that the entire Luoyang City is in a panic of arrest at this time, but those who have not done anything to collaborate with the enemy are not afraid, and Meng Yu does not dare to arrest people at will, and he must have evidence before he can arrest them.

There are basically no big officials among the arrested officials, they are all grassroots personnel, because those big officials have the same interests as Liu Xia, if Liu Xia is gone, then they don't have any rights, their rights are given to them by Liu Xia, Liu Xia is dead, Luoyang City is broken, they should also face the guillotine, even if they can't die, they don't have any rights.

Meng Yu said as he walked: "Inform the Yanshi City Investigation Envoy, Meng Jin Investigation Envoy, and Yiyang Investigation Envoy to let them carry out the arrest operation, and they must not let go of any of them, if they dare to bend the law for personal gain, they will all be beheaded." Tell the story! ”

"Yes!"

The Dragon Group is a secret organization, and the Dragon Group is only aimed at attacking in the army, and ordinary people don't know about it. Therefore, the name of this order was the Investigation Department of the Pingbei Hou Mansion.

Originally, the task of arresting officials should be carried out by Shouhu of the Investigation Department, but Shouhu is Liu Xia's captain of the guards after all, and he also has a duty to protect Liu Xia's safety, so this time he followed Liu Xia to the Tiger Prison Pass, so the task of arresting in Luoyang City was handed over to Meng Yulai.

Almost for about a long time, the investigation bureaus of the various counties around Luoyang City received arrest warrants issued in the name of the investigation department. Although the Investigation Division does not directly govern the Investigation Bureau, the Investigation Division has a special status, and now that it is a special period, it is naturally able to command the Investigation Bureaus of each county. And there is no need for the authorization of Zhang Wenyuan, the chief of the Investigation Department, because the Luoyang area where Liu Xia is not present at this time is the highest status of the Investigation Department.

"Zhang Fenwei? Why did the people in the Investigation Division tell me to arrest him? The commander of the Yanshi City Investigation Bureau, Zhang Zan, frowned and said to himself. Zhang Zan is a retired officer who is missing three fingers, and he originally served as the captain of the second battalion of the first battalion of the Huben regiment, but because he was injured, he was dropped below to serve as an investigator, and he was awarded the title of second investigation.

This Zhang Fenwei is a big businessman in Yanshi City, before Liu Xia supported commercial development, so many people in the surrounding areas of Luoyang have been in the turmoil of being a businessman, and many people have been outsourced by some military factories, so they became rich overnight. This Zhang Fenwei is also one of them, he is a first-class businessman in Yanshi City, and he is very close to the county order and some officials in Yanshi City, and Zhang Fenwei was drinking with Zhang Zan yesterday. Because the two are both surnamed Zhang, the two are particularly close.

Who knew that only a day had passed, and the news from above that he had arrested Zhang Fenwei was issued.

"The people from the investigation department said that if the arresting agent deliberately let go of the captor, he would be beheaded. If you can't catch it, you will have a major demerit or even be dismissed, and all your previous military exploits will be zero. In the future, they will not enjoy various welfare benefits. ”

Zhang Zan couldn't figure out what this Zhang Fenwei had done, so that the people in the investigation department paid so much attention to it, and even punished himself so severely. However, for the sake of his own future, he Zhang Zan also had to go to arrest Zhang Fenwei.

"I'm sorry, alas. Since the people from the investigation department have found you, then you must have a relationship with the enemy army, and a good businessman is not appropriate, why do you have a relationship with the Qing army? Zhang Zan said with some annoyance.

"Someone! Gather all the idle investigators, and we'll arrest them. ”

At this time, there were no guards in Yanshi City, because the guards were all transferred to the Tiger Prison Pass to defend the gate. There are only more than 100 investigators in this Yanshi City.

"Yes!"

With an order, these investigators, who were originally soldiers, quickly gathered together, still waiting for Zhang Zan's order as soldiers.

"Let's go! Go to Zhang Fenwei's house, don't let one of them go! ”

The night was getting dark, and more than 50 investigators on the streets of Yanshi City hurried there. There aren't many people on the streets anymore because there is a curfew at night. This was before the Qing army attacked, Liu Xia ordered that all cities must implement a curfew at night.

However, there are still some people who are still packing up their stalls and have not returned home.

It is rare to see dozens of investigators dispatched together in Yanshi City, and at most there are only a dozen people. The abnormality of the inspectors made the people talk a lot.

"What are you going to do! Could it be that the enemy is coming? Do you want the detectives to go on the defensive? ”

"What nonsense, the enemy is still outside the Tiger Prison Pass, where can I hit the Yanshi? I think there was a major accident in the city, so I let them go. ”

"I think so, I just don't know what's going on."

"Don't talk about it, let's disperse, it will be dark for a while, don't let you go out at night, don't be caught by the patrolling investigators and sent to prison before you go back."

"Surround, all surround, you can't let one go." Zhang Zan kept saying, you must know that this arrest operation is linked to his official career and even his life, but he does not dare to have a trace of neglect.

The arrival of dozens of investigations made the maids and servants in Zhang Fenwei's courtyard exclaim. They know that their master is in Yanshi City, but he has a good relationship with many officials, how can there be a search for them? Those servants just wanted to teach the investigation that came first, and suddenly saw Zhang Zan who stepped into the courtyard door, so they closed their mouths, since Zhang Zan personally led the team, then there was nothing to say.

Zhang Fenwei is a middle-aged man in his thirties. I saw him slowly walk out of the house. His face was very calm, and he didn't see a trace of fear.

"Why did the Detective bring so many people to the mansion in the middle of the night?"

Zhang Zan didn't hide it, and said: "It's not that I, Zhang Zan, have to arrest you, it's that there is an order from above that you must be arrested." Otherwise, the little brother's head will not be guaranteed! I had no choice but to arrest my brother. ”

Zhang Fenwei frowned, and then he figured out why he was arrested. So he said, "It must be that." If you arrest me, for the sake of our fellowship, will you spare my family? ”

Looking at Zhang Fenwei's pleading expression, Zhang Zan, a very emotional person, wanted to say yes, let it go, and then left with Zhang Fenwei alone. But he couldn't, because he also had a wife and children at home, and if he didn't arrest everyone in Zhang Fenwei's family, then he would be in danger. Even though he is very emotional, he still can't do this favoritism and accompany his family's life.

Looking at Zhang Zan's embarrassed expression, Zhang Fenwei sighed bitterly and said, "Since this is the case, the commander can arrest him, but everything is done by me, and it has nothing to do with them." Please keep them alive! With that, Zhang Fenwei's legs pushed to the ground.

Zhang Zan hurriedly went up and helped him up: "These things are not something I can control, the junior brother is just a small investigation envoy, and this order is not from the investigation department." It was sent by the Investigation Division. If it was an order from the Investigation Division, the younger brother could have interceded, but this investigation department, alas, the younger brother really couldn't do anything. ”

After that, Zhang Zan never looked at Zhang Fenwei again, and continued to arrest people.
