Chapter 146: "Operation to Purify the Heart" (4)
"I agree with the fifth brother's opinion", "I will do what the fifth brother said", as Li Junwu and Xu Shaoan responded to Wang Kunjun's suggestion, the opinions on the handling of Fan Wucheng's problem reached a consensus within the committee. The next thing to do is to convene a meeting of all the traversers in Beiping City, publish the opinions of the committee, and discuss and vote. However, there are two things that need to be resolved before we can call everyone for a meeting. The first is that once the opinion on the handling of Fan Wucheng is passed, who should take over his position in the Ministry of Commerce and Trade. The second question is when Fan Wucheng's henchmen will be arrested, before or after the enlarged meeting of the committee.
On the first question, there is no difference of opinion among the members of the committee, or the successor is almost the only one, that is, Jia Run'an, the current deputy head of the Ministry of Commerce and Trade and head of the Department of Overseas Trade. First, Jia Run'an, as Fan Wucheng's deputy, has not only been familiar with the department's actions and procedures after more than two years of work in the Ministry of Commerce and Trade, but has also long been familiar with the big and old customers of those "Datong Commercial Firms," and can completely replace Fan Wucheng's work -- in fact, the business network that the "Datong Commercial Bank" has built up over the years has become completely mature, and what the head of the Ministry of Commerce and Trade has to do is to grasp the strategic planning and policy aspects well, and there is no need to personally participate in daily business and trade activities. Second, as a result of Jia Run'an's efforts to develop and maintain it for more than a year or two, the overseas trade channels of the Beiping Army have been basically established, and several maritime trade routes to Jiangnan, Goryeo, and Wa have also been basically stabilized.
On the second question, however, several members had some differences. The eldest brother, Li Junwu, and the eldest brother, Zhang Weixin, believed that the party should be arrested first, and then an enlarged meeting of the committee should be held to discuss the handling of Fan Wucheng. In this way, the committee can obtain more and more direct evidence by interrogating those henchmen, thus ensuring that the treatment of Fan Wucheng is well-justified so that the other party cannot deny it. Xu Shao'an, on the other hand, advocated convening an enlarged meeting of the committee first, and then arresting Fan Wucheng's henchmen after he had been dealt with. In this way, it can not only reduce the trouble of arrest, but also prevent "startling the grass and snakes", so that Fan Wucheng can make any "dog jumping over the wall" move. After some consideration and weighing, Wang Kunjun finally supported the opinions of Li and Zhang, and decided to arrest Fan Wucheng's henchmen first, and then hold an enlarged meeting of the committee. As for the specific arrest plan, the Department of Internal Affairs of the Ministry of Intelligence is in charge, and the only requirement of the committee is that the arrest operation must be swift and secretive, and Fan Wucheng must not be aware of any abnormalities before the enlarged meeting of the committee, and it is also necessary to try to avoid any adverse effects on the social order in Beiping City because of the arrest operation. In addition, considering that Fan Xiaoer, Fan Xiaowu, Fan Xiaoliu and others usually accompany Fan Wucheng to serve, directly arresting them is likely to encounter Fan Wucheng's obstruction and cause unnecessary trouble. Therefore, the committee also decided that after the Department of Internal Affairs of the Ministry of Intelligence had completed all preparations for the arrest, Fan Wucheng would be transferred to the Jiedu Mansion to handle a series of official duties, and that he would be given some more time to facilitate the arrest of Fan Xiaoer and others.
After the plan was decided, Zhang Xiaofei and Liang Ziyue left the Jiedu Mansion to prepare for the arrest, while Wang Kunjun and other committee members concretized and paper-based the contents of the study and the plan they had set, and formed the bills needed to be submitted to the enlarged meeting of the committee for use at the meeting.
On the afternoon of the 28th day of the 10th month of the eighth lunar calendar of Xiande, after three days of preparation, while Fan Wucheng was ordered to go to Jiedu Mansion to report to several committee members on the commercial development of the Beiping Army in the recent period and to study the next stage of commercial development, Liu Erxing, Gao Gui and others were also summoned to Jiedu Mansion by the committee in the name of the Logistics Department, the Military Department, the Security Department, and other departments related to their work -- the offices of these departments were all in different courtyards in Jiedu Mansion, so that Liu Erxing, Gao Gui and others would not have any doubts about entering Jiedu Mansion. Moreover, there is a difference in the time when these people were summoned, and there is no possibility of seeing each other.
Just when Liu Erxing, Gao Gui and others were complacent in their assigned rooms that they could be summoned to the Jiedu Mansion to do business, after obtaining the consent of the committee, Zhang Xiaofei and Liang Ziyue issued an order to start the operation of the "Operation Pure Heart" under the direct command of Qingchen, the head of the Operations Department of the Ministry of Intelligence.
When Zhang and Liang's orders were conveyed to Qing Chen, the senior brother of the Jade Void Palace, who was getting older and more immortal, shook the dust in his hand, and ordered the thirty action division detectives around him with his slightly cold low noise: "Each group will act immediately to arrest the intended target. Remember, this is the Jiedu government, and if you have to do it as a last resort, try not to use weapons, but try to avoid casualties - including our own people. ”
"Yes, the lowly obedience." All the cadres responded in unison.
After speaking, thirty detectives rushed out of the hiding room, and under the leadership of several Jiedu Mansion guards, they rushed to their own targets.
In the face of the arrest warrant issued by the "Dark Feather" Headquarters (Intelligence Department) and the Biedong team detectives embroidered with the "Dark Feather" emblem on their clothes, Liu Erxing, Gao Gui and others could not raise the slightest intention of resisting - especially when several people had ghosts in their hearts. Duan Ming, the only one who tried to confront the detectives, was also knocked to the ground by the other party in the blink of an eye, and he was captured.
Compared with the clean, simple and smooth arrest of Liu Erxing, Gao Gui and others, the operation of arresting Fan's cronies and servants is more complicated and troublesome. First of all, Fan Xiaoer, Fan Xiaowu and others are Fan Wucheng's servants, and there is no reason for Jiedu Mansion to summon them to the mansion by name, and they can't lead all the three cronies and servants of Fan Mansion to Jiedu Mansion for arrest like they did with Liu Erxing, Gao Gui and others.
Second, Fan Wucheng usually only travels with one or a few of these cronies, and the servants who accompany him to Jiedu Mansion are not necessarily the people that the Internal Affairs Department of the Ministry of Intelligence wants to arrest. Therefore, the arrest of Fan Xiaoer, Fan Xiaowu and others took a lot of money from Liang Ziyue. On the one hand, Liang Ziyue ordered Qingchen to arrange the number of detectives involved in the arrest operation in Jiedu Mansion according to the situation that Fan Xiaoer and the other three close servants of the Fan Mansion involved in the case would accompany Fan Wucheng to Jiedu Mansion. On the other hand, Liang Ziyue also specially selected three agents from the Department of Internal Affairs of the Ministry of Intelligence who were familiar with Fan Xiaoer, Fan Xiaowu, and Fan Xiaoliu respectively, and formed a second biedong team with 12 other agents, so that in the event that Fan Xiaoer, Fan Xiaowu, and Fan Xiaoliu did not accompany Fan Wucheng to Jiedu Mansion in whole or in part, the agents who were familiar with him would lure the one or several people involved in the case who remained in the mansion away from Fan's mansion in the name of getting together and eating and drinking, and lead them to a predetermined place for further arrest.
Third, as Fan Wucheng's cronies and servants, when Fan Xiaoer and others faced the agents of the Internal Affairs Department of the Ministry of Intelligence who came to arrest them, their sense of resistance and resistance were far stronger and more intense than those of Liu Erxing, Gao Gui and others. In particular, Fan Xiaoer and Fan Xiaoliu, who accompanied Fan Wucheng to Jiedu Mansion, not only did they rely on their good fists and feet to fight with the agents of the Internal Affairs Department of the Ministry of Intelligence who came to arrest them, but they also received the support of Fan Xiaosan and Fan Xiaoqi, who came with him but were not on the arrest list. For a time, the 10 agents of the Internal Affairs Department of the Ministry of Intelligence, who were responsible for arresting them, could not succeed, and the two sides were in a stalemate and stalemate. In addition, what annoyed the detectives the most was that Fan Xiaoer, Fan Xiaoliu and other close servants of the Fan Mansion were stubbornly resisting, and at the same time, they also shouted and screamed, trying to attract the attention of Fan Wucheng, who was in the Jiedu Mansion, and come to rescue them. Fortunately, the area of Jiedu Mansion is vast, and the side hall of the main hall of Jiedu Mansion where Fan Wucheng is at this time is far away from the gatehouse where the servants usually stay, and he can't hear the movement here. It's just that although everyone knows that it is impossible for Fan Wucheng to come to save his cronies, Fan Xiaoer and Fan Xiao's shouting still upset the six detectives who are responsible for arresting them, and it affects everyone's combat effectiveness. In the end, Qingchen, who rushed over, took action in person, and only then did Fan Xiaoer and Fan Xiaoliu be arrested, and Fan Xiaosan and Fan Xiaoqi were also controlled.
Compared with the fierce confrontation in the gatehouse of Jiedu Mansion, the arrest of Fan Xiaowu by the second biedong team was much simpler. At the "warm" invitation of an agent from the Department of Internal Affairs of the Ministry of Intelligence, who was familiar with Fan Xiaowu, this close servant of the Fan Mansion did not expect that this was actually a trap, a big trap to arrest him, but left the Fan Mansion with joy and the so-called "friends" who came to invite him, until he was captured by the agents of the Department of Internal Affairs of the Ministry of Intelligence in a secluded place in Beiping City, and then he woke up like a dream and found that he had been deceived.
