Chapter 596: Catch them all
Yes, the enemy was disintegrated from within.
Other places may not be so fast, but the Guanzhong region has indeed been disintegrated.
Otherwise, where did such a detailed list come from?
The next thing is, of course, to arrest people as they are.
Many people on the list have already written very clearly, their positions and everything are on it, although they don't have addresses, but knowing their current identities, will there be any difficulty in finding these people?
So, one dark night, the streets of Chang'an were full of soldiers coming and going.
These people have lost their former politeness, and they are no longer deliberately cautious in their actions.
When I walked to the door of a house, I directly slammed the door open, and then went in to arrest people, arrested, naturally it was impossible to arrest only one person, and all the people in the family were arrested.
What is surprising is that almost all the people on the list, who are in Chang'an, were arrested in less than half a night.
And after the interrogation, they all confessed to these things.
If you don't admit it, you can't help it, even his superiors and subordinates said it directly and clearly, is there any point in carrying it at this time?
Why do you do something that doesn't make sense?
Although this can be sure that someone inside them has betrayed them, they can only curse in their hearts, they don't know who the person who betrayed them is, but some people have guessed that this person's level may not be low.
But what's the use of that?
……
In the early morning, the sky had just dawned, and it was time for the dark guards, who had been busy all night, to clean up the results.
This night was not in vain for them, hundreds of people were arrested, and they were all the backbone of the rebel party.
The destruction of this force is basically described as a complete stabilization of the situation in the Guanzhong region.
It is not that the situation in Guanzhong is unstable, but that it has been completely cleared out of the rebellion.
"Three people ran away!" Arrest and interrogation, the secret guard, who has been busy all night, reports the latest situation to the two bigwigs.
"Which three?" Ma Wu asked, it is normal for such a large-scale operation to run away from three people.
Whether it's intentional or unintentional, it's normal, or is it just these people who are working together to do something?
And it is very likely that the list in their hands was taken out by these three people, since they are prepared, so what is the difficulty of making a plan to get out?
Then again, if they can be caught, then they still tell the devil?
Report yourself yourself? Is there such a stupid person in the world?
Even, in Ma Wu's heart, he basically already has the answer.
"Yu Qing, Liu Su, Ning Yuan." The subordinates responded that these three were the highest-level leaders in the Guanzhong region.
But there is still a bit of a surprise, if it was the three of them who reported it, then why are the names of the three of them still on the list? Or do these three people simply don't exist?
No, existence is definitely there, this has been confirmed, there is nothing to refute.
"According to the accounts of those arrested and the families of Liu Su and Ning Yuan, they received an order from the group three days ago to transfer them to Luozhou and Yangzhou respectively to take charge of regional business, and sent them there immediately to conduct covert visits, so as to obtain more information and facilitate future management. And the two also left Chang'an by train and ferry on the same day, where did they go? No one knows about this now. Oddly enough, we asked almost everyone, including the families of the two of them, who had never heard of Tai Qing. ”
"That's right, people who are two levels lower than Liu Su and Ning Yuan will never know whether the two of them, whether Yu Qing really exists, there are certain doubts about this, according to the current situation, only by finding Liu Su and Ning Yuan, can we determine whether Yu Qing really exists. Perhaps......" Ma Wu gradually analyzed, and intelligence analysis was also his specialty.
It's hidden, but it's also unhidden.
What is hidden is that Yu Qing completely cleared the people who knew him, are Liu Su and Ning Yuan still alive? This requires a big question mark.
Before finding these two people, Yu Qing could only exist here by one name, and the secret guard only knew these two words, he didn't know what his face looked like, and he didn't know where he was, so he couldn't arrest him at all.
And if Liu Su and the others are killed, then Yu Qing will change his name and still be one of the most honest ordinary people in Datang.
Of course, the reasons for these assumptions are based on the premise that Liu Su and the two were killed.
And these people seem to be willing to do this kind of thing, after all, only the dead are the safest.
"Let's start with these people first, focus on that Wang Jing, this person is very likely to have a problem." Ma Wu commanded.
"You mean, this list is actually provided by Yu Qing? And before that, he took away two people who had only seen him? Ma Liu also thought of this, it is very likely that this is the case, but now there is no evidence.
"It's very likely that this is the case, and the reason why Yu Qing did this is nothing more than to tell us that he has confessed everything he can explain, and then let's stop chasing him, anyway, even if we don't give up, we still can't catch him. The only thing I can't figure out now is, what happened to that Wang Jing? What is the relationship between him and Yu Qing? Wouldn't it be better to sneak the letter over this kind of thing? And why do we have to leave us with such an obvious clue? Ma Wu was still puzzled.
However, this does not affect the subsequent deployment.
Running these three people, although it is very important, but now it seems that it has nothing to do with the overall situation, their foundation is gone, and after this incident, they will definitely not do this kind of thing again.
The premise is that the government has given up tracking them, and as for their families, this is just a matter of looking at the composition of the family members to understand what is going on.
There are no old people in the family, only wives and concubines, what does this mean?
This family is not their real home, but the people in this family don't know what kind of case they are involved in.
Of course, there may be something wrong with that.
To be precise, this family should be their second home, the wives and concubines and children are all real, they are all theirs, but this is not their only home, not their original match, but used on the surface, so they will evacuate so quickly, ignoring these women and children in the family.
It's crazy, but it's normal, not to mention them, the guards can do it.
So Ma Wu didn't think there was anything strange, he could only say that the lives of these people were not good.
Sure enough, the families of Liu Su and the others still don't know what the reason for their arrest is?
But the law is cruel, and although many harsh laws have now been abolished, the previous provisions are still copied in the case of treason.
It hadn't even changed for years, and the people didn't find anything wrong with the law.
Of course, I don't think it's inappropriate, because this matter didn't fall on them, especially in this situation like now, the Liu Su family feels that they are very wronged, because they really didn't do anything and didn't know anything.
But treason is not a matter of whether you do it or not.
Tang Law stipulates that the family members of the offender should shield and help him conceal the evidence of the crime, and he is not guilty at the case, except in the case of rebellion.
In other words, as long as it is not a crime of treason, whether it is murder or arson, and the family knows about it, they must shield him, even if they do not help eliminate the evidence of the crime, they cannot report it, and if they report it, they will be punished.
In the case of treason, failure to report it is punishable.
And the punishment for the crime of treason is the punishment of the clan.
So, at this time, whether they are knowing or not knowing, at this moment, they are guilty and there is nothing to argue.
Even if the emperor gives amnesty to the world, people in this category will not be pardoned.
It seems cruel and impersonal, but in fact, it is a deterrent to the world.
Before rebelling, you have to think about your family, are you mentally prepared to let the whole clan accompany you to die?
To a large extent, this has prevented the occurrence of some cases of rebellion, and of course, the greater deterrent effect is for ordinary people.
How many real peasant uprisings have there been in history? Which ones were not chosen after being forced to do so?
The real rebels were still those bureaucrats, who had the right and relatively easy access to military power, and the success rate of the rebellion was relatively high, so they did it.
"Hey, people who are blinded by illusions can ignore their families for the sake of those so-called interests." Ma Liu sighed.
He didn't have much to say about it, and he didn't have anything to say.
Although sometimes they do similar things, there is an essential difference between the two.
One is for the selfish interests that are impossible to succeed, and the other is for the long-term peace and stability of the country and for the people to live a more stable life.
What the other person does is called death, and what they do is called dedication.
The same thing, different positions, the result is naturally different, which is why someone will become a hero and someone will become a bear.
"No way, this is the end of life, no one is to blame." Ma Wu also sighed, but he only sighed in private, he would not interfere in this matter, nor would he say anything good for them.
Wronged people, there are a lot of people in this world, and there are many more people who are worthy of him to plead, they are wronged, they are unknowing, are those who dedicate themselves to the country, they deserve?
The overview of the matter, as the sky brightened, gradually spread to Li Yuanji.
As for this overview, Li Yuanji only briefly read it and did not delve into it.
