Chapter 241: Arrest
(1st Update)
This long-planned arrest operation has been brewing in Ye Kai's mind for half a month, and he began the preliminary preparations on the train going south, and at the same time, Shanghai has also started to collect intelligence to the extreme, and the identity information of the people involved in the case has been continuously gathered, especially the location of their company and personal residence, to ensure that there is no leakage, of course, these people are famous, and they can't hide it if they want to.

This is why Ye Kai chose to go straight to Shanghai, and started to act the next day, firstly, because the impact of the stock crisis is getting worse, and secondly, these people may donate money to flee at any time, and Ye Kai will not let them go unpunished.
As soon as the bell rang in the early morning, 3,000 Praetorian Guard soldiers set their lights from the barracks outside the city under lights, and the soldiers were divided into two routes, one to surround the entire Shanghai county and the surrounding Chinese boundaries, while the other road openly entered the city and searched for the people involved in the case according to the information of the intelligence sub-bureau, without any conscription in advance.
Ye Kai sat in the governor's office, secretly watching the orderly development of the entire arrest operation.
At one o'clock in the morning, the soldiers entered the city, and Shanghai was under martial law.
Many people are asleep, and the catastrophe quietly befalls them.
The soldier kicked open the door and broke into the house, when the person involved just wanted to rub his sleepy eyes and get up, several guns were pressed on his head at the same time, this is what they suddenly realized, frightened, of course, this process is not 100% smooth, many people were forced to the ground when trying to escape, some simply hid in a dark corner, hoping to escape, it turned out that they did think too much, and more were tied hands, after being controlled, they still did not flinch, Chen said that they were doing legitimate business and should not be treated as such, but the soldiers didn't care about this, they carried out the orders of the commander, and they didn't need to bother to speak, and there was no such thing as a search warrant in this era.
After the arrest of the person involved, the soldiers began to search the spot, and all the ledgers, transaction lists, financial transactions and other documents and materials in the room were searched, after which everyone was taken to prison.
After all the evidence was collected, these stores were sealed, and in this way, the once thriving "money machine" was destroyed one by one under Ye Kai's order.
At half past four in the morning, the arrest operation ended, Han Shang and Lu Shuangming returned to the Governor's Office and met Ye Kai.
Han Shang replied briefly: "Dashuai, all of them are temporarily imprisoned in the county jail, a total of one hundred and thirty-one people, including thirteen foreigners, six British, three French, two Belgians, and two Americans. ”
"The subordinates have checked, and so far, the people involved in the case in the Chinese boundary have basically been cleared."
There are more than 500 people on the list, large and small, and most of their companies and residences are located in the concession, the reason is very simple, they are doing illegal business, even if the East Window incident occurred, the Qing Dynasty government has no right to govern, but in general, Ye Kai is still very satisfied with this arrest activity, at least the people in the Chinese realm have been cleansed, which has achieved his goal.
"Are the Englishmen Mai Bian, Wei Tui, and Jia Dao in the ranks?"
Han Shang knew that the handsome man was asking if there was such a person among the thirteen foreigners, the three of them were the first evil offenders, and Han Shang could still pay attention to it when he was arrested, but the result was not satisfactory: "There are no such people." ”
Ye Kai was not discouraged, such a result was also expected, the three of them are now all billionaires, and naturally they want to live like dogs in the concession, Ye Kai's hands can't reach out for the time being.
"Got it, go back and rest." Ye Kai waved his hand, "I still have something to do tomorrow." ”
"Yes, Marshal."
The two stepped back and looked at each other, both feeling that something more important was coming.
....
"Sir! Master! ”
On Nanjing Road, a luxuriously decorated Western-style building, there was a panicked call for the door.
"In the middle of the night, what a noise!" The person on the bed yelled impatiently out of the door, and as soon as he lay down, he felt that something was wrong, "Something's wrong!" Panicked! ”
"Just now.. Just now, the Chinese community. Arrest people in the Chinese world! The man shouted loudly, speaking incoherently.
When the man in bed heard this, he did not feel sleepy at all, and put on his robe and went out.
"What the hell is going on! Speak slowly! The person who spoke was a forty or fifty-year-old man named Li Jingchu, who was the major shareholder of Qian Zhuang Yishanyuan, and his uncle was the famous Li Hongzhang.
"Master, just now there was a message from the Huajie side, saying that the officers and soldiers entered the city and arrested a lot of people who resold stocks, and our shop was also sealed." The person who came took a breath and said: "Also, Boss Chen, Boss Dai, in short, the shareholders and bosses of Shanghai Qianzhuang, dozens of people were called into the yamen yesterday, and I heard that they haven't come out until now, and they have been arrested nine times out of ten!" ”
"Ahh The middle-aged man shouted, "They are compradors of foreigners, who dares to arrest them!" ”
"Liangbi, the governor of Liangjiang!"
"Liangbi!?" Li Jingchu's sweat fell down, and he secretly said in his heart, "Fortunately, I didn't go, so I said that there is no such good thing as saving the city!" ”
"Master, should we pack up and go to Tianjin, Liangbi has arrested so many people, sooner or later he will have to catch us."
Li Jingchu paced back and forth, as if he had a deficit of several million taels on his body, and sighed after a while, "It's not time yet, if you leave now, you will never be able to wash it.."
"But we can't change the official funds, if the court condemns it..."
"Don't be afraid, I still have some connections in the DPRK, tomorrow we will go to the Bank of Communications and find Liang Shiyi, if you want to borrow three million, maybe you can tide over the difficulties, and outsiders will not be able to see it."
"But that Liangbi..." the subordinate muttered, he was really scared just now, he dared to search for the city at the beginning of his tenure, how many governors of the Qing Dynasty could there be?
"We are in the concession, and we are protected by foreigners, and Liangbi will never dare to fight the idea of foreigners."
"But..."
"Let's go down.." Li Jingchu waved his hand and walked back to the room with a fluttering heart.
"Tomorrow on the beach, it's another stormy meeting.."
