Chapter Seventy-Nine: The Trial (First Recommendation Vote)
The Yangtze River Fleet has been moored at Wusong Wharf, the flagship Haichen is brightly lit, the small conference room has been vacated and converted into a prison cell, and there is only one prisoner, so Jiang Zhiqing, who was naturally kidnapped from the French Concession as a nervous disorder. On the table were pens and spread out Bering paper.
It's been three days, it's already the third day, Jiang Zhiqing's cheeks are obviously deflated, his eyes are bloodshot, and his stubble is gloomy, haggard and afraid. He sat in his chair and was about to close his eyes when he was called out to him by a soldier.
"Keep your eyes open, eat something when you're hungry, and drink water when you're thirsty." The soldier said with a smile.
Jiang Zhiqing reluctantly opened his red and swollen eyes, and said in a hoarse voice: "Please, let me sleep for a while, I'll squint for a while!" ”
The soldier smiled cruelly: "The commander has an explanation, as long as you make a move, I will let you sleep!" ”
Jiang Zhiqing tried hard to lift his breath and said: "I have already said it, I did it alone, and no one instructed me!" If you want to kill, you have to kill me! ”
The last sentence was a full breath, almost roared, but no matter how hard he tried, his voice was still low and hoarse.
The soldier still had a kind smile on his face: "If you don't want to eat, then listen to the play?" Or I'll read you the newspaper? ”
Jiang Zhiqing was so angry that his lungs exploded, and the corners of his mouth squirmed a few times, and he couldn't speak.
Since they were caught on the boat, these people have not beaten or scolded, and they have eaten and drunk well, but there is one thing, that is, they are not allowed to sleep... The soldiers guarded him in shifts, waking him up whenever they saw him wanting to take a nap, forcing him to eat and drink, and if Jiang Zhiqing didn't eat or drink, they read the newspaper next to him.
There were six or seven kinds of newspapers in the room, such as "Declaration" and "Zilinxi Bao", and several soldiers took turns to read them to him, but no matter how many newspapers there were, they could not stand this reading. So, the soldier repeated and repeated and repeated until Jiang Zhiqing's ears heard the calluse. Jiang Zhiqing also made up his mind, isn't it just a few people who are noisy in their ears? It's like listening to the monk's chanting!
After staying up for two nights, Jiang Zhiqing finally couldn't stand it anymore and fainted. But these guys won't allow him to stay in a coma... They actually put two kicks in his ear!
What is especially hateful is that an officer with a round face and thick eyebrows actually found a grass platform team and sang excerpts in Jiang Zhiqing's prison cell, beating gongs and drums, and it was a luxury to want to fall asleep. By the morning of the third day, Jiang Zhiqing was already delirious, and hallucinations appeared in front of him, and Tao Chengzhang's unsmiling face shook in front of him.
"A good man is a good man, please kill me!" Jiang Zhiqing really couldn't stand it, and desperately banged his head against the wall, but the wall was wrapped with thick cork, let alone suicide, it was difficult to hit a bag!
"Old man, why are you pretending to be a dead dog? A good man does a good job? You can't afford it! There was a thick Tianjin accent outside.
Jiang Zhiqing was dazzled and saw a tall thin man in a black police uniform walking in with a water snake waist.
"If you want to kill, you can kill, what kind of hero is torturing people?" Jiang Zhiqing's voice was a little choked, he regretted very much why he didn't give himself a shot after assassinating Tao Chengzhang? Also save the bits and pieces of sin!
"Ye is not a hero, Ye is the nemesis of a hero! It's the dragon who has to coil when he sees the master, and the tiger has to lie down when he sees the master! When I arrived at the master's one-third of an acre, the arhat who was beaten with iron and poured with diamond copper also peeled off three layers of skin for the master! The black-clad policeman sneered.
Jiang Zhiqing knew that these people would not let him go easily, even if they kowtowed and begged for mercy, it would not have any effect, so the surname Suo shut up and said nothing.
The black-clad policeman was about forty years old, with two mustaches, no hat, and his oily hair combed in an extremely deceitful middle.
The policeman slapped the table and said, "Jiang Zhiqing, I will finally give you a chance, and I will recruit you honestly!" ”
Jiang Zhiqing snorted and said, "I've said it a hundred times, I killed Tao Chengzhang, and no one instructed me!" ”
The policeman sneered: "You have no grievances with him, why did you kill him?" ”
Jiang Zhiqing paused for a moment and said, "I just don't like him!" My lord, I've already confessed, you can close the case... Whether to shoot or behead, if I, Jiang Zhiqing, blink my eyelids, I won't be a man! ”
The policeman saw that he was impassioned, and laughed: "Unlucky child, he was used as a gun, and he is still a big one?" Jiang Zhiqing, you are playing with your grandfather, tell you, you have seen more than your single grandfather... Do you know who I am? ”
Jiang Zhiqing snorted and stopped talking.
The policeman was not angry, and said with a smile: "It doesn't matter if you don't know, grandpa told you, my surname is Yang, I'm afraid you don't know my name, but you must have heard of my nickname, people on the rivers and lakes call me Yang Bangzi!" ”
Jiang Zhiqing was stunned for a moment, then subconsciously took two steps back, pointed at the police, and said in a trembling voice: "You are Yang Bangzi of Tianjin Wei?" ”
The policeman smiled: "A little fame, it's not worth mentioning, let Commander Jiang laugh!" ”
Jiang Zhiqing's face was like ashes, and he sat on the ground with weak legs.
Yang Bangzi squatted beside him and said with a smile: "Brother, you are also a tough guy, brother, my favorite in my life is a good man in the rivers and lakes... Look, I haven't tortured you in the past two days, my brother is serving you with delicious food and drink, which is interesting enough!" You carried the blame off for others, but what did people do to you? Kick you away, even if it's a dog, you can't use it if you want to, you can kick it if you don't want to, right? If you are willing to confess, you will recruit, if you don't want to confess, it doesn't matter, my brother has time to spend with you! ”
Yang Bangzi called himself grandfather for a while, and called himself brother for a while, and in the blink of an eye, there was a difference of two generations!
After that, Yang Bangzi patted Jiang Zhiqing on the shoulder, hummed Tianjin Wei's song, and walked out in all directions.
In the captain's room, Chai Dongliang, Yu Qiaqing, and Huang Jinrong were drinking tea and chatting, and they saw Yang Bangzi twisting the waist of the water snake and swaying in.
"How? Recruited? Yu Qiaqing asked eagerly.
Yang Bangzi pouted and said, "The unlucky child is a chick!" Rest assured, within half an hour, he will be pouring beans into the bamboo tube! If I say it wrong, you will gouge out my Yang Bangzi's eyes and put them on the ground as a fish bubble! ”
Chai Dongliang raised his finger and praised: "The shadow of the famous tree of people, there is no false person under the fame!" Director Yang, the world's No. 1 police director, really made an extraordinary move! ”
Yu Qiaqing said with a smile: "Bangzi, after this matter is done, the throne of the Shanghai Police Department is yours!" ”
Yang Bangzi's smiling little eyes couldn't be seen, and he bowed and said: "Thank you Du Du and Brother Ade for your promotion, Inspector Huang and I are the brothers who worship the handle, and they should all be shared, as long as I can get my Yang Bangzi in the future, there is nothing to say in the water and fire!" ”
Huang Jinrong gave a look, and Yang Bangzi retreated with interest. Chai Dongliang, Yu Qiaqing, and Huang Jinrong glanced at each other and laughed knowingly.
Yu Qiaqing pointed at Huang Jinrong and said, "Brother Jinyong, you really have you, where did you get such a living treasure?" ”
Huang Jinrong said with a smile: "Chai Dudu and Brother Ade are people who do great things, you all make friends with dragons and phoenixes among people, and my jute skin is a person who drills dog holes, so I naturally get acquainted with the rooster and dog thief!" However, this Yang Bangzi does have a set, no matter what kind of thief he is, when it comes to his hands, he has all become a plague cat! ”
Huang Jinrong laughed while talking about Yang Bangzi's anecdote in Tianjin.
As we all know, Tianjin Wei's gangsters are brave and ruthless, and they are not afraid of death, and it is extremely difficult to control. The gangsters are not bandits but ruffians, they do not rob houses and houses, kill people and steal goods, but they often bully and dominate the market, entrench themselves in one side, and are extremely contemptuous of the government, so that they have become a great disaster to Tianjin's social order. The gangsters are all outlaws, and when they fight in groups, the seven-rank officials have to walk around, which shows their arrogance.
What's even more a headache for the magistrate is that the gangsters not only don't want their lives but also lose their face, and when they catch the yamen beating the board, they are not only not afraid but look at the scars like medals, and the gangsters who are beaten by the yamen have more face on the ground!
Successive magistrates were helpless against the gangsters, and Yuan Shikai even caught the gangsters in Tianjin and killed them as pirates, which also happened one after another, and the strong dragon did not suppress the head snake, and the suppression was loosened and it would revivelate. When the Huai army was stationed in Tianjin, it was because there were too many conflicts with the gangsters, and they both suffered heavy casualties, and in the end, even Li Hongzhang had to order the Huai army not to be stationed in Tianjin, and moved the camp to Tanggu and Dagu.
After Yang Bangzi became the director of the Tianjin Police Department, he first wrote a letter to the famous gangsters, persuaded him with good words, and accepted the person who gave him face as "eyeliner". Of course, there were also those who didn't give him face, and some directly tore up his letter and threatened to give Yang Bangzi some color. Especially one called "Black Three",
Yang Bangzi was not angry and sent someone to arrest him. The characteristic of the gangsters is that as long as the yamen catches them, they will cooperate very much, and they will generally ask the officials, use a big board, and the harder the beating, the better!
After catching enough people, Yang Bangzi did not beat or scold, and went down to Nanshi Street to politely find some of the most inferior prostitutes. Give a piece of Long Yang every day and ask them to cooperate with official business.
These prostitutes are all very poor in appearance, almost no one cares about the kind, where do they earn a piece of foreign money in a day, and when they see the shiny foreign money, they happily follow one by one!
At the beginning of the trial, ordinary people came to hear the trial. The gangsters are rampant and domineering, and now they are on trial, and the audience is like a tide, all wanting to see how "Yang Bangzi" deals with these outlaws. And the more people in the gangsters, the more they cheered, all of them were in good spirits, and when they saw the appearance of Director Yang, they didn't pay attention to it, and a person named Hei San sang the drama and came out, which made it clear that he was singing against "Yang Bangzi", and he was not afraid to fight or kill.
Yang Bangzi didn't care at all, and the first one was to judge the third black. After a few sentences, the black triad made a mistake and collided.
Yang Bangzi waved his hand and said, "Okay, roaring court, pull me down!" ”
What are you pulling down for? Beat? Black San is not afraid of a master who doesn't want to die at all!
Yang Bangzi shouted with a smile: "Pull me down and let him drill the crotch of the kiln sister!" The room burst into laughter. Hei San is also stupid, he is a dignified street bully, he is going to drill the crotch of the women's pants today, how can he mix in the road in the future?
The policemen held back the fun, no matter how Hei San roared and jumped, and pressed his head hard to get through the crotch of a girl. Amid the laughter of the crowd, the police dragged Hei San back, and Yang Bangzi continued to interrogate.
The black three scolded. Yang Bangzi pointed to the second girl: "Come on, drill again!"
Usually the gangsters are domineering and domineering, and there are many people who offend, and there are inevitably public angers, and at this time, there are more and more onlookers, all of whom come to see the crotch of the black three drill kiln sisters.
The thugs find themselves in a dilemma: if they are obediently tried, then they will be ruined from now on, and how can they stand up? If you don't be tried obediently, then you have to drill the crotch of the woman......
As soon as the police department opened the door the next day, the gate guard was startled: many kiln sisters in Nanshi were waiting outside! What are you waiting for? Waiting for the "Ride Black Three".
After this time, the thugs of Tianjin Wei were greatly injured, and they were even more afraid of Yang Bangzi like a snake and scorpion, but it happened that this old boy was still in the position of the head of the police department for several years, and took the opportunity to implement other measures, and the prestige of the Tianjin gangsters has not eased up since then.
Huang Jinrong's eloquence was excellent, and even when he said it, his voice was full of emotion, and the funny Chai Dongliang almost fell off the chair. Yu Qiaqing even squirted out tea.
"Dudu, Brother Ade, do you think, Li Hongzhang and Yuan Shikai can't clean up the people, Yang Bangzi has a way to repair the honesty, not to mention Jiang Zhiqing, a hairy boy?" Huang Jinrong said with a smile.
Yu Qiaqing scolded with a smile: "Jinyong, you are also a living ghost, why don't you go to Yanjing Tianqiao to talk about books?" What a grease nozzle! ”
The three of them were telling jokes, when they saw Yang Bangzi walking in from outside with a smile on his face, bowing down and saluting: "Congratulations, the criminal has confessed!" ”
