Chapter 128: Raiding the Zhang Family
There was an earth-shattering noisy footsteps outside the door, then the men's dissuasion, the women's cursing, and the soldiers' scolding mixed into a pot of porridge, and then the chaotic sound gradually came from far and near, and when they came to the door, they heard a "pop", the door of the living room was roughly kicked open, and countless soldiers and guards rushed in, and finally Zheng Chaokai strode in with his head held high, and just about to say a few words, he saw Chang Zhenbang hiding in the corner at a glance, and hurriedly trotted over, nodded and said: "My lord, I didn't expect you to be here. ”
Chang Zhenbang smiled faintly and said, "I should ask you this sentence, what kind of wind is blowing today that made you break into here with the people of the garrison." ”
Zheng Chaokai couldn't help but be surprised, just now Liu Shifa of the Military Justice Department with Chang Zhenbang's approved edict and the garrison jointly investigated and dealt with the factory shops under Zhang Jifei's name, and found a large number of privately made grenades and gunpowder and other dangerous goods in several firecracker workshops of Mr. Zhang. Liu Shifa, who was shocked, immediately asked Zheng Chaokai to lead troops straight to Zhang Jifei's home, arrested all the members of the Zhang family, and seized all the movable and immovable property of the Zhang family. This is the current one, but he didn't expect Chang Zhenbang to chat with Zhang Jifei here.
"Isn't this Zheng Chaokai of the General Security Office, Lord Zheng? What wind brought you over? ”
, Chang Zhenbang doesn't seem to know about it. How can this be said? Zheng Chaokai, who had been thinking about it for a long time, slapped his thigh, no matter what, let's tell the truth, anyway, even if the sky falls, Liu Shifa will stand on it, thinking of this, Zheng Chaokai said: "Lord Qiyu, the lowly rank and others found a large number of privately made gunpowder and grenades in Mr. Zhang's workshop, the amount is so large that it is shocking, Lord Liu Shifa of the Military Justice Department specially ordered the humble duty to strictly investigate this matter, I didn't expect the adult to be here." ”
Chang Zhenbang was shocked, turned his head and glanced at Zhang Jifei, and said, "What's going on?" Sir, don't you want to riot in Jiujiang City! ”
Zhang Jifei waited for Chang Zhenbang fiercely, wanted to speak but said that he found that everything was so forceful, a line of blood and tears flowed down, Chang Zhenbang sighed, patted Zheng Chaokai's shoulder and said: "Since the evidence of the crime is conclusive, Zheng Chaokai will leave it to you here!" But you have to remember, don't let go of any traitor and traitor, if you let one go, I will have your head! ”
"Please rest assured! Not a single traitor will be missing! Zheng Chao said.
Chang Zhenbang nodded and said, "I can still trust your ability, but this is rebellion after all, and it won't be bad if you are careful!" For reverse birth, it must be registered and confiscated! However, people are not saints, and after all, brothers have worked hard, and it is reasonable to leave a part of the rewards for your brothers, but I want to know this part of the accounts. Alright, you go about it! ”
"Thank you, sir!" Zheng Chaokai said loudly, Chang Zhenbang's words are very clear, they can check the price increase when the site is cheap, but this favor should be known to these guards. With this sentence, as long as it is not too excessive, Chang Zhenbang has already allowed them to rob semi-openly.
There are many smart people in the garrison, and they suddenly realized such a plain good news, and shouted to Chang Zhenbang: "My lord is wise! ”
Chang Zhenbang smiled and said, "The brothers have worked hard, but we must remember to Lao Tzu that the women of the Zhang family are not allowed to move!" If anyone moves, Lao Tzu will be ruthless in military law! ”
"Don't worry, adults, with money, where can you find beautiful women!"
As soon as these words came out, there was a burst of laughter. The officers and soldiers of the garrison and the military personnel went out of the living room together to find a place to make a fortune, it can really be said that they dug three feet into the ground to dig up floating wealth, what a hundred years under the tree, under the steps, but wherever they would have hidden treasures, they all dug up and checked them one by one, if it weren't for Zheng Chaokai's eyes, it was really not like it, and it was passed out to make people laugh, and a good big garden was pouted by this guy who was obsessed with living money.
Listening to the sound of the upside-down outside, Zhang Jifei's heart was like a knife, Chang Zhenbang smiled faintly and said: "Wealth comes and goes, fate gathers and scatters from the sky, but as long as everyone is good, the Zhang family may rise in a few years." What a blessing the old gentleman is! ”
Zhang Jifei sighed and said, "Thank you, my lord, I will give it to you if I have saved some money in Jiujiang Citibank!" ”
Chang Zhenbang smiled faintly and said: "This is the old gentleman's private property, I will give it to the eldest prince!" ”
Zhang Jifei said: "Master Lao is worried about my son, and my son's life and death are determined by heaven!" Don't worry about him, if the adults see that he can't get by, you might as well give him relief, so that he doesn't die of cold and starvation! ”
"Look at what you said, old sir." Chang Zhenbang said: "Zhang Dagongzi is afraid that he will hate me to death, if he doesn't trouble the official, the official will burn high incense, where will he ask the official for help!" ”
Zhang Jifei smiled bitterly: "The old man of Deutsch-Hua Bank still has some coffins, so I might as well give it to the adult, and I also ask the adult to help the old man send a letter to my son." ”
Chang Zhenbang said: "The bird is dying, its song is also mourning, the person is dying, its words are also good, Zhenbang will help the old gentleman get paper and pen." After a while, a little girl with a black handprint came over with tears in her eyes and the four treasures of the study, Zhang Jifei glanced at her with pity, took out a brush and wrote lightly on the plain white paper: "Zhang Yao and my son, today is goodbye, you and my father and son will say goodbye forever, and there will be no day to see each other again. My son is now in prison, there is still a day of reform, my father is very happy to hear it, I want to come to the day of release from prison There has been a change in the family, this matter is all in the old father's heart is higher than the sky, the town guard makes the family more helpful, if you have no life in the future, you may as well go to him, remember, remember! Money and wealth are external to the body, and the children and grandchildren accumulate virtue and family business, remember to remember. Father Zhang Jifei, a certain month in the year of the Republic of China. ”
After writing, Zhang Jifei held it in front of Chang Zhenbang with both hands and said, "Please also ask the adult to hand it over on your behalf!" As for those old wives and concubines, adults don't have to worry about it, the old wives have been dead for several years, and the little girls have promised to be married. Rest assured, the old man will live to the position when the adult needs it! ”
Chang Zhenbang put the letter in his arms and said: "It's rare for the old gentleman to look so cheerful, so much so that the younger generation is ashamed." The juniors are leaving. I don't know if the old gentleman has anything else to ask? ”
Zhang Jifei said: "The old man has a question, I don't know why the adult would target the old man so much, now the old man has been ruined, the family is ruined, and I hope that the adult will not let the old man become that foolish ghost." ”
Chang Zhenbang glanced at the little girl who was stunned, sighed, and said, "I'm scared of you!" ”
The little girl nodded first, then shook her head, and finally lowered her head, played with the corner of her clothes, and whispered: "No, those wicked people are only greedy for money, and they don't move the daughters of the family to do it." ”
Chang Zhenbang smiled and reached out to touch her head, and said, "You heard what you said just now, why don't you leave!" ”
The little girl bit her tongue, glanced at Chang Zhenbang boldly, and said: "The little girl is just a maid, in the eyes of adults, it doesn't matter whether the little girl kills or not, if the little girl leaves, the adult will definitely kill the little girl." ”
Chang Zhenbang smiled faintly and said, "What a smart child!" ”
The little girl said: "The little girl has a bad memory, what happened just now?" ”
Chang Zhenbang shook his head, pointed to the distance and said, "What do you see is that?" ”
The little girl looked along his fingers, looked at it for a long time but found nothing, when she turned around, Chang Zhenbang had already pulled out the saber, only to see a flash of white light in front of him, he felt a hot pain in his neck, then fell headlong and fell to the ground, blood stained the carpet under her.
"What a good boy, it's a pity." Chang Zhenbang sighed and said.
Zhang Jifei said: "This child doesn't understand until she dies, no matter how she copes, as long as she is here, even if she is mute and deaf, adults will not let her go!" What a stupid boy! ”
Chang Zhenbang said: "The younger generation doesn't like to kill people, after all, it is not a happy thing to let a person's life end abruptly in their own hands, but I don't like to leave even a little bit of trouble, old man, don't you want to know why I targeted the old Zhang family?" Then I might as well tell you now! The root of all this is that the old man's reputation is too big, when it comes to Jiujiang City, people know that there is you Zhang Jifei, who knows that I am Chang Zhenbang! Those who have high merit will not be rewarded, and those whose reputation will be ruined. When the emperor was there, the old gentleman could still protect his whole family, such as the name of unification today, but in fact, the trend of division and division has been achieved, and all that is needed is to wait. You know, old man! ”
Zhang Jifei said: "Those who have high merit will not be rewarded, and those who have a reputation will be defeated!" This truth has been known for a long time, but I didn't expect it to fall on the head of the old decay, thank you for reminding you, and thank you for your hands, so that you can keep a trace of blood. ”
Chang Zhenbang smiled faintly and said: "In the next life, I am waiting for your reward and retribution!" ”
"My lord is really very human!" Zhang Jifei laughed, a trace of blood slowly flowed down, and he hurriedly took out two deposit receipts and personal seals from his arms and handed them to Chang Zhenbang. After Chang Zhenbang took it, he gently closed his eyes for him.
After dealing with the affairs of the Zhang family, it was already empty outside the door, but tonight was not fifteen, so the clear light was like a hook. Chang Zhenbang touched the scene and hummed softly: "The moon bends to shine on Kyushu, a few families are happy and a few are sad." Several couples are in the same tent, and several are scattered in other states......
The next day, the sound came again......
With the earth-shattering sound outside the yamen, Chang Zhenbang made a hache, stretched his waist, and finally dealt with Zhang Jifei's matter, fortunately, Zhang Jifei is not a clean person, and he can't afford to pay the strict investigation of those wolf-like uncles who pick bones in the eggs of the military justice department, just over the years, he has withheld thirty or forty thousand taels of silver from the way to disaster relief, as soon as the news was released, the entire Jiujiang City suddenly boiled, and the call for severe punishment of Zhang Jifei became higher and higher.
After the Jiujiang Chamber of Commerce got the news that Zhang Jifei was throttling money and food for disaster relief, he immediately made a decision to remove Zhang Jifei from the position of president of the Chamber of Commerce, and notified the provincial chamber of commerce and Jiujiang merchants in writing. But to be honest, they didn't have a chance to do business with the Zhang family, those explosives and grenades directly gave Zhang Jifei a big hat that hooked up with the Sun Party and conspiracy to rebel, and as soon as the big hat fell, hundreds of people up and down the Zhang family were completely smashed, and with the news of the confiscation of all assets, except for Zhang Yao, who was also imprisoned in the patrol room rented in Jiujiang, almost all of them were driven out by those garrisons and the Jiujiang army, and they were all out of the house.
As soon as these people came out of the Zhang family's mansion, they were thrown stones and eggs by the parents and villagers who heard the news, and the Zhang family, who had infinite scenery in the past, was now regarded as a shrimp play in the shallows, and the tiger fell into Pingyang and was bullied by dogs. Fortunately, Chang Zhenbang had already instructed them to find a courtyard house that was still sheltered from the wind and rain and settled down temporarily, as for those who were willing to stay, they would stay, and those who were unwilling to stay would be returned, although there were many disgusting people in the Zhang family, but there were also many old people who were still grateful to Zhang Jifei and sent them rice and noodles. The behavior of not Chang Zhenbang had to make the Jiujiang people give a thumbs up.
As for those firecracker workshops, Chang Zhenbang simply hit these workshops together, and Zhang Tianzheng was fully responsible for the configuration of gunpowder and some hand grenades and other arms products that could be built within his ability. Of course, in terms of the current political form, it is not suitable for large-scale authorization and support, but it is also a semi-open secret in the Jiujiang Army.
As for Zhang Yao, after being stolen by the Dongying people and being arrested, he did not put it into the patrol room, but was directly dragged by the Wuchuan family to the Dongying Jiujiang Business Club and lynched, this Zhang Yao is not a fool, he stopped all the sins on his head and waited for Chang Zhenbang to come and save him, but he didn't know that Chang Zhenbang knew that he was arrested by Wuchuan and others, and immediately led troops to raid Zhang Jifei's home. These Dongying people have always been clean and neat, and they knew that they couldn't get any benefits from Zhang Yao, so they immediately chopped the eldest prince with a knife and threw him into Poyang Lake to feed the fish.
In this way, the famous philanthropist Zhang Jifei in the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China and his family completely fell into decline. The destruction of the Zhang family was common in which era, at the beginning he still appeared after the tea and dinner of Jiujiang's father, but one after another shocked the world, and soon this matter was completely forgotten, as if the Zhang family had never appeared. And then our story continues.
