Jinling, because of its reliance on the Yangtze River, has extremely developed water transportation. After the establishment of the empire, industry and commerce were highly developed, and Jinling also developed very quickly in this regard. Convenient transportation has brought great business opportunities to Jinling, especially the rapid development of light industries such as textiles and clothing!

On the evening of April 1, military vehicles drove out of the barracks outside Jinling City, with military police signs on their fronts. As soon as the military vehicles entered the city, they dispersed and headed for their respective goals!

The Liu family, one of the big business families in Jinling, accounts for forty percent of the textile industry and garment industry in Jinling, even in the whole Jinling, it can be regarded as a big family! The mansion of the Liu family is also splendidly built, and it can be called one of the top mansions in Jinling! The rapid development of industry and commerce in the empire made a large part of the population become wealthy. This also had a lot of adverse effects when promoting the rapid development of the empire's economy, such as the wind of luxury and waste! In recent years, the empire's focus has been on foreign conquests, and it has been slightly negligent in its domestic management. However, Wang Yuze also intends to put the country in order after the end of the war, and it is necessary to control these unhealthy tendencies, so that he can build a powerful empire and compete with the murderous Germans for world hegemony!

More than a dozen military vehicles stopped at the door of Liu's house with the sound of screeching brakes, and a large number of soldiers wearing dark green sè military uniforms got out of the cars, led by a major officer.

The descendants of the Liu family were a little shocked when they saw the military vehicle parked in front of the door. A man who looked like a butler ordered someone to go back and report. He greeted him, with a smile on his face: "Master Jun." This is Liu's Mansion, I don't know what you are doing when you come to the door, Master Jun? ”

"Call Liu Da out!" The major officer said coldly, waving his hand at the same time. Some of the soldiers surrounded Liu's mansion, while others followed the major officer towards Liu's mansion.

"Master Jun, what are you looking for my master? This is a private mansion, you can't just break in, our lord and the mayor of Jinling City have a relationship! The butler grabbed the major officer and threatened!

"Get out!" The major officer scolded angrily with a cold face. Suddenly lifted the housekeeper and stepped into Liu's mansion. The soldiers who followed behind also poured into Liu's mansion and quickly seized the dangerous place. Even if these soldiers are gendarmes, they still have basic military qualities.

At this time, Liu Dazheng, the head of the Liu family, came to the courtyard with a group of people, and just happened to see the housekeeper being opened by the major officer, and a large number of soldiers poured into the courtyard. Each soldier had a rifle in his hand.

"This sir, why did you trespass on my Liu family? My Liu family is not easy to bully! Liu Dasheng said vigorously!

"Humph! The surname is Liu, you did a good thing! You dare to sell inferior cotton clothes to the army, you don't know how many people have been frozen to death and frostbitten because of your inferior cotton clothes! This time, you're dead, come on. Take him away for me! "The major officer was almost spewing fire in his eyes. For these guys who dared to harm the interests of the army and caused a large number of casualties in Paoze, he couldn't wait to immediately pull out his gun and kill this guy!

Two wolf-like gendarmes rushed up, grabbed Liu Da and dragged him out of the door!

"Wronged! Treat unjustly! I don't know anything, I didn't do it! Liu Da shouted in horror. He wanted to struggle, but he was a fat-headed, big-eared businessman trying to break free from the hands of two soldiers. How is that possible!

The old and young of the Liu Mansion also rushed up, but they were all blocked by the other gendarmes, and they could only watch Liu Da being arrested, and for a while, the entire Liu Mansion cried loudly, which sounded very miserable! The neighbors didn't know what was going on and wanted to come out to take a look, but when they saw that Liu Da was captured by the troops, they didn't dare to ask anything! In this war years, once you mess with the army, can you end well?

The same thing happened throughout Jinling, where all the merchants who participated in the resale of inferior cotton clothes to the army were arrested by the gendarmes that night. It is impossible for the officials of Jiangsu Province and Jinling City to be unaware of such a big incident, and they sent people to ask why the military police had arrested them, but when they were told that these merchants had killed the troops at the front, they all kept silent. In particular, the mayor of Jinling City even claimed that he had nothing to do with the Liu family! He is not a fool, he knows that the Liu family is dead this time, if he is involved, then he, the mayor, probably won't want to go in peace!

The gendarmes were arresting merchants in Jinling, and the military police in Běijīng were also in action. It's just that because the person to be arrested this time has a high status, the commander of the military police, Xiao Chūn, and the lieutenant general have personally gone out!

At 8 o'clock in the evening, a military vehicle came to the Yang Mansion, Yang Hua is the former prime minister of the empire, and at the same time the father-in-law of the emperor Wang Yuze, the identity is not trivial. Although the entire Yang Mansion is not so luxurious, it covers an extremely wide area. You must know that the Yang family was originally a big family in central Sichuan, and they followed Wang Xiao on tour of western Sichuan for many years, and later became a relative of the emperor. And the Yang family has also developed rapidly because of this, and can be called one of the top families in the empire. Even though Yang Hua has stepped down as the prime minister of the empire for many years, his protégés and former officials are all over the world, and there are many people in the Yang family who are engaged in politics, and they have strong connections in politics and business. It's just that Yang Hua is an old fox and knows that Wang Yuze has always had prejudices against these big families. Therefore, he has always asked the people of the family to keep a low profile, so as not to be cleaned up by the emperor as a bird! For the other children of the family, Yang Hua disciplined him very well, only the youngest son Yang Hong, who was born when he was in his fifties, was particularly doting. Originally, Yang Hua thought that with the current power of the Yang family and their relationship with the royal family, as long as Yang Hong did not rebel, they could afford anything that happened, so he indulged a little!

The gatekeeper of the Yang Mansion had sharp eyes, but after seeing the military vehicle coming to the gate, he immediately greeted him. With the power of the Yang family, there were many important ministers and military generals of the empire who came to the door, even if Xiao Chūn and were lieutenant generals, he didn't pay much attention!

"This general, may I ask you where you are here?" The porter came to Xiao Chūn and the lieutenant general and asked directly!

"Please let me know, I want to see Elder Yang!" Xiao Chūn and Lieutenant General said respectfully. Although it was Yang Hong who was going to be arrested this time, they couldn't be disrespectful to Yang Hua. According to the information they got, Yang Hua probably didn't know about the that his youngest son had done. Otherwise, with the financial resources of the Yang family, how could they care about the wealth earned by the crooked ways!

"Okay, general, please, I'll have someone report to you!" The porter immediately invited Xiao Chūn and the lieutenant general in, however, several soldiers also followed Xiao Chūn and the lieutenant general in, which made the porter a little dissatisfied, but opened his mouth and still didn't say anything!

At this moment, Yang Hua was chatting with a family in the living room, Yang Hua was over seventy years old at this time, and his hair was all gray, but the god Jīng was not bad. As soon as people get older, they care about the joy of family at home! Yang Hua's youngest son, Yang Hong, was on the side, and he was very well-behaved. Although Yang Hua is a little dissatisfied with this son, for the sake of his filial piety, he will not pursue it much!

At this time, the housekeeper walked in, came to Yang Hua's side, and whispered to him: "Master, General Xiao, the commander of the military police, is here!" ”

"Oh? What is he here for? Take him to the study! Yang Hua said with some surprise. But I still cleaned up and went to the study to meet the guests. Although he was in a high position in the Empire, he was the commander of the gendarmerie. The gendarmerie was mainly in control of military law, and was even more powerful during the war. Yang Hua couldn't figure out what Xiao Chūn and Lieutenant were meeting him for!

"I've seen Yang Lao!" When Xiao Chūn and Lieutenant General saw Yang Hua, they immediately saluted respectfully!

"General Xiao is polite, please take a seat! The housekeeper serves tea! Yang Hua said.

After the housekeeper brought the tea, he stood still behind Yang Hua.

"I wonder what happened to the general this time?" Yang Hua asked straight to the point.

"Elder Yang, under the command of His Majesty, take Yang Honggongzi back to the military police headquarters to verify one thing!" Xiao chūn and Lieutenant General said!

"What? Yang Hong? What did he do? Can you use the gendarme? Are you mistaken? Yang Hua asked in surprise!

"Elder Yang, this is an order personally issued by His Majesty!" Xiao chūn and Lieutenant General said!

"Okay, what the hell is going on?" Yang Hua suppressed the anger in his heart and asked with a dark face!

"Yang Hong colluded with a few unscrupulous businessmen to sell a batch of inferior cotton clothes to the army, and the troops stationed in Siberia and Central Asia were frozen to death and frostbitten more than 10,000 people, His Majesty was furious, and ordered us to arrest Yang Hong immediately, and asked Yang Lao not to stop him!" Xiao chūn and Lieutenant General said!

"Impossible! It's absolutely impossible! Although Yang Hong is a little naughty, he will never do this! Yang Hua said loudly!

"Elder Yang, this is His Majesty's order, we can't help it! If Elder Yang thinks there is a problem, please go to His Majesty to complain yourself! Xiao Chūn and Lieutenant General insisted! If it weren't for Yang Hua's face, he would have ordered the arrest a long time ago, where would he have come to the door in person to be so low-voiced!

A flash of anger flashed in Yang Hua's eyes, but he knew that Xiao Chūn and Lieutenant General were definitely going to take people away today, if it weren't for his face, he would definitely not talk so much nonsense! In the past, when the gendarmes arrested people, they always smashed open the door, rushed in and arrested the people and left.

"Okay, General Xiao, you take people away! I'll go to Majesty and ask for an understanding! Yang Hua said expressionlessly. But he also knew that if Yang Hong was really involved in this matter, there would definitely be no good end! He has been the prime minister of the empire for ten years, and he knows Wang Yuze's love for the army, and anyone who reaches out to the army will die a miserable death!

"Thank you, Mr. Yang!" Xiao Chūn saluted with the lieutenant general and left! At the same time, those gendarmes also arrested Yang Hong! (To be continued.) m. Reading. )
