Chapter 167: Snow Grievances
Crash! The iron lock of the prison was unfastened, and the heavy door was pushed open, and a bright light came in from outside the door, making the eyes of those who had not seen the light in a long time squint. It took a while to get used to the glare coming in from the doorway.
"Xu Guangzhong, who is who Guangzhong?" The prison guard pinched his nose and shouted, the prison left at the end of the Qing Dynasty naturally cannot be compared with the prison that existed in later movies.
"Daddy!"
"Daddy!"
A brother and sister broke away from the old woman's hand and ran towards the prison, shouting and screaming.
"I'm Xu Guangzhong, Yong'er, and Liu'er." An unkempt middle-aged man grabbed the wooden gate of the prison with both hands, hoarse and trembling in a voice.
"In the light, you are saved, you are saved." The white-haired old woman couldn't help but cry when she saw this scene, and her muddy tears flowed all over her face, since this son was framed and imprisoned for more than a year, the whole family lost its backbone at once, and they were about to disperse, and the daughter-in-law couldn't afford to be sick, and the house was raided, and she was destitute. If it weren't for the fact that a soldier suddenly came to the door today, saying that the case would be overturned, the Xu family, which was already dilapidated at this time, would still be gloomy.
"Yes, Mr. Xu, you have met a nobleman, clean up, and you will have to go to court later." The old and refined jailer forcibly resisted the discomfort in his nostrils, and said flatteringly, to say that even if he was not the richest in Fengtian City before, he was still famous. There is always a lot of money, but it's a pity that I heard that I offended some big person, and I was scattered and I was imprisoned.
"May I ask which noble person is going to overturn the case for Zaixia?" Xu Guangzhong was still in a dream at this time, his family knew his own affairs, and he had a piece of fertile land in his hometown of Jinzhou that was favored by the Japanese, and the price offered by the Japanese was similar to the price of the local land. It's just that Xu Guangzhong experienced the humiliating years of the First Sino-Japanese War, and he still remembers the crimes committed by the Japanese in Liaodong, and rejected the Japanese several times.
Unbeknownst to him, the Japanese actually colluded with a deputy director of the Mukden Police Station to frame him, directly arrested him and imprisoned, confiscated his family property, and the land in Jinzhou naturally fell into the hands of the Japanese. More than a year in prison. Some relatives and friends in the past have also thought of a way, but compared with the Japanese, after all, the strength is too thin, not to mention that he is still a scum from Fengtian Province, who has been in prison for so long, Xu Guangzhong has already given up on the idea of seeing the light of day again, if he is not still thinking about his family, Xu Guangzhong is afraid that he will already die in prison.
"Anyway, it's a big official, and I'm a small person. Don't dare to talk too much, Mr. Xu will know when he goes. The jailer smiled, "Mr. Xu should change into clean clothes, and if the case is over, he can go home." ”
Xu Guangzhong couldn't hide the curiosity and excitement in his heart, changed into a somewhat old washed robe, and followed the jailer out of the prison with anxiety.
Outside, one was dressed in a colonel's uniform. A man who was not very old, but with a dignified face, stood there. He was followed by two guards. Next to him, it was the deputy director who framed him at the beginning, Liu Changning, Liu Changning's face was pale at this time, and his body trembled as if he was swinging.
"This is Mr. Xu, you have been commissioned for more than a year. Liu Changning eats inside and out, colludes with the Japanese to frame you, he will be punished as he deserves, and you can recover some of your embezzled family property from Liu Changning. It's about 37,700 yuan. Some were taken by the Japanese, and now there is no way to get them back. Chen Tao said, "Justice is too late, I hope you don't lose faith in the law of Mukden." ”
"No, no, thank you for washing away the grievances of the little ones, so that the little ones can get the snow of their grievances! In the future, the adult will be the little benefactor, and my life will be handed over to the adult, and the money that Liu Changning embezzled will be willing to give all the money to the adult. Xu Guangzhong knelt on the ground, tears couldn't stop pouring out, for more than a year, he even gave up the desire to survive, if he was only Japanese, he didn't feel anything if he ended up ruined, but whether it was the Japanese, or the officials of Fengtian put him to death, which made him think in his heart. Xu Guangzhong has done the worst deal, and now everything is suddenly turned upside down, which is better than the best situation he imagined, more than many times better. Not only can he be released from prison, but what is even happier is that Liu Changning, who framed him, will be severely punished, and as for the previous family property, nearly 37,000 yuan can be recovered, which is far beyond expectations. What is there to complain about in this situation at the moment.
"Yong'er, Liu'er, kneel and kowtow to your benefactor together." Xu Guangzhong's mother was sour in her heart, and she knelt down with her grandchildren, but Chen Tao couldn't stop her.
"Hurry up, what are you doing in a daze, don't you hurry up and help people up." Chen Tao hurriedly said and called the soldiers next to him.
"You don't have to be grateful to me, you can also collect the money yourself and do some business. I am also acting on orders, if it weren't for Shizuo, I would not be able to do such things under the nose of the Japanese, Shizuo said that you are a capable person, I hope you don't feel unpleasant because of this experience, people always have to look forward, in the future, in Mukden, there will be no more similar things. ”
"Master? Which division? Watching Chen Tao and the others leave, Xu Guangzhong, who got up from the ground, shook twice and didn't stand firm because of his weak body, and he was stunned.
"In the entire Fengtian Province, apart from Master Qin, which division seat can there be?" The jailer took a few steps forward and helped Xu Guangzhong, and sighed in his heart, "Mr. Xu, you are also lucky, you happened to meet Master Qin in charge of this matter, change someone, really can't overturn the case, the entire Northeast, I'm afraid only Master Qin is not afraid of the Japanese." ”
"Which Qin Division?" Xu Guangzhong said in surprise.
"By the way, I remembered. Mr. Xu, when you were not in prison, Senior Commander Qin would still be the commander in Taonan. The jailer slapped his head. Speaking of which, Senior Commander Qin really did a lot of good things, and those who were officials cherished their feathers one by one, and it was only when Senior Commander Qin dared to do without his official hat that he stopped the plague. Our entire Northeast people rely on Master Qin to survive. Even my unsuccessful son, after being a soldier under Master Qin for a year, has changed a lot now, he has grown taller and his body is stronger. A little thug who used to go around is now able to bring something back to his house every year. ”
Speaking of his son, the jailer looked satisfied and proud. The salary of the soldier is higher than that of ordinary workers, and there are some subsidies every year, even if it is not a wealthy family, at least it is not difficult to mix food and clothing every year, and it is not difficult to eat a few meals of meat during the New Year's holidays. In this era, most people are still struggling for food and clothing. The military uniforms and boots issued in the army also looked good, and they were very majestic when they were put on, and every time the son came back from vacation, the jailer saw the envious eyes of his neighbors, not to mention how happy he was.
"It turns out that all the officials of Qin have become teachers, this dare is good." Xu Guangzhong looked excited, he had always heard about what Qin Yu had done in Taonan, and he always felt a little far away from him, but he didn't expect that his life was picked up by Qin Yu right now. "When I go back, I must set up an immortal monument for Master Qin and worship it every day."
"Yes, Master Qin is reinventing my Xu family's kindness, and you must find an opportunity to report it well in the future." The old woman nodded.
"Director, what should I do with this Liu Changning?" At this time, Chen Tao had already taken two soldiers and Liu Changning, whose face was like ashes, on the way to the police station.
"What else can I do. Eating inside and out, colluding with the Japanese to harm the Fengtian people, the master can't see this kind of thing that forgets his ancestors, and there is no copying the frame to exterminate the clan is already an extrajudicial grace, and a peanut is indispensable. Chen Tao glanced at Liu Changning with disdain, in this humiliating era, the vast majority of people are patriotic, if there is no strong figure, a considerable number of people will be afraid of the might of the Japanese and choose to be silent, after all, once you make a choice in this kind of thing, the choice is wrong, and it may be your whole family who bears the consequences. It's human nature to hesitate.
But once there is a leader who can stand at the forefront and stand up to the Japanese, these people will no longer have so many scruples when venting their patriotic feelings.
Chen Tao thinks that he can see human nature thoroughly, but he can't see through Qin Yu, it stands to reason that Qin Yu's family wealth is hundreds of millions, and his power is tilted to the northeast, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is the emperor of Fengtian Province. But Qin Yu sometimes acts a little emotionally and recklessly. Changing his position, Chen Tao felt that he couldn't be as free and easy as Qin Yu, and it was precisely because of this that Chen Tao respected Qin Yu even more. Even if he is a little arrogant at some times, in Chen Tao's opinion, Qin Yu has a little more human touch. If you make the most rational choice, it is not a person, but a cold-blooded machine.
Since the Japanese entered the Northeast, private enterprises have been squeezed out of bankruptcy one after another by the power of Japanese capital. Or coercion, or inducement. Xu Guangzhong is just one of them, and he is relatively lucky, after all, he has picked up a life, but his family property has suffered some losses. There are also some families who are not a few. Under the assassination of the Japanese ronin, it is not for nothing that the whole family died.
The officialdom of Fengtian and the underground forces are also time to put things in order.
Under the instruction of Qin Yu, Chen Tao began to purge the underground forces of Fengtian Province, since the end of the Qing Dynasty, the bottom-up movement or revolution has rarely succeeded, but at this time Qin Yu controlled the Fengtian officialdom and held the Fengtian military power. The top-down order made it relatively easy to implement. After absorbing some disciples of Gong Baotian and Shang Xiangyun, the special combat team was further expanded, divided into more than ten squads, each team of fifteen people, and almost swept away the underground forces in Fengtian Province. Some Japanese ronins have also been affected. These scattered underground forces have been rectified, and none of them remain, but a few with brains have joined the newly formed "Dragon Group". The first large-scale gang in the Northeast was born, and in the future, drugs, black market boxing, and other things are dishonorable things, and someone always has to do it. (To be continued......)
