Section IV Prison
The arrest was carried out in secret last night, without any announcement from the top level, and no news was heard at the afternoon seminar on the planning of the railway construction, and during the break everyone discussed the military conflict between the north and the Russians, and there was no mention of the secret arrest of the Zongsha Party. Therefore, Duan Fang did not know that the Ministry of Police suddenly moved, and on the grounds of plotting the assassination case at the founding ceremony, the soldiers moved at the same time and suddenly arrested a number of "big people".
What frightened Hu Sijing was that the plainclothes police detectives of the State Security Bureau did not give the former Qing nobles any face at all, Zaitao was the younger brother of the regent Zaifeng, and he broke in directly and took him away from the bed. And Hu Sijing's "benefactor", the fierce Prince Gong Pu Wei was just about to touch the pistol hidden in the drawer, but was knocked to the ground by a punch from the police detective, and was directly tied up, not caring about his identity as a prince, let alone ignoring Pu Wei is inheriting the famous "Devil Six" Yi? The grandson of the knighthood.
"Tell me what the assassination case is all about?" Duan Fang came to his senses from the initial shock.
"Do you really not know?" Hu Sijing's face was written with disbelief, "It is said that on April 28, the founding day of the puppet dynasty, an assassin attempted to assassinate its leader, but was captured by his secret agents. They're just trying to make excuses...... Its purpose is Sima Zhao's heart. ”
"What about the Queen Mother and the Regent?"
"Unless they are crazy, how dare they disturb the Queen Mother and the Regent?"
That's fine. The end side has already understood that the new dynasty's move is aimed at the Zongshe Party. "Then why did you escape the pincer net?" Duan Fang asked coldly.
"I'm just a small person, they want to completely destroy the pillars of the Qing Dynasty."
"The Qing Dynasty is over! The edict of abdication has been issued for more than seven months! Duan Fang said categorically.
"Even if you don't read the Qing Dynasty, you have to remember the old love, right?" Hu Sijing despaired of Duanfang's attitude.
"I see, you can go back." Duan Fang picked up the teacup.
What a fool. How did Pu Wei Tieliang succeed by relying on these people? Waving away Hu Sijing, Duan Fang thought alone for a long time, although they have regarded themselves as a thorn in their side, but it is not okay to stand by and watch, if Pu Wei Zaitao Tieliang is finished, the Qing Dynasty is not only finished in politics, but even the last bit of vitality can not be saved. Such a big deal. There is no way that the president does not know. What exactly is the purpose? Is it really to track down the murderer?
The end party instructed to prepare the car. The ministers and vice ministers of the new dynasty have all been treated as official cars, and the cars are naturally Taishan brand products produced by Shandong Automobile Company.
"The old man has the courage to ask, it's so late, does the old man want to meet guests?" I have been following him for a long time. It's more casual.
"Ahh Never mind. Duan Fang patted his head. He was originally going to Xiyuan to meet Long Qian. But seeing that it was already about nine o'clock in the evening, I was afraid of disturbing people's rest, so I gave up. I'll have to talk about it tomorrow.
Duan Fang suddenly remembered Liangbi who was on an errand in the Ministry of Defense, and Hu Sijing didn't seem to mention Liangbi just now. So he hurriedly went to the telephone directory issued by the office and called Liangbi.
The telephone system has been in place in Beijing for a long time, but the capacity is small. Last winter, the first telephone exchange purchased from the United States was put into use, and telephones were installed in the homes and offices of the principal leaders of the political and military circles in the capital, and the follow-up is still under construction. Liangbi's position is not high, but he is the deputy director of the Audit Bureau, but he is stained with the light of a member of Congress, so the end side can communicate with him by phone.
"Brother Wuqiao, I just know about this matter. The military is certainly not involved, and Wang Mingyuan's demeanor does not seem to be fake. Liangbi was very frustrated on the other end of the phone, "I am registered with the Zongshe Party, and I am waiting for someone to come to arrest me." Your brother is now a big celebrity in front of President Longda, why did he ask me instead? ”
Liangbi has been in a bit of a situation recently, and he is suspected of being a low official, and he was only appointed deputy director of the Audit Bureau of the Ministry of National Defense, which was very unexpected by Duan Fang. I thought that even if he stayed in the army, he would be given a considerable position. For example, Chen Xiao, who participated in the attack on Texas, actually served as the head of the second-level department of the General Staff, and Liangbi did have some "losses" compared to Liangbi.
"The person was arrested last night, and since it didn't involve you, you don't have to worry. I was going to go to Xiyuan, but I was afraid that the time was not right. Tomorrow I will definitely ask Mr. Long, what is going on? ”
"Brother Wuqiao, don't pretend to be confused! Can't you see that? Purge! Take the opportunity to purge the Zong Socialist Party! I advised them to keep a low profile, but they just didn't listen! Mengshan Army, hehe, Mengshan Army can also do it, Tangnu Wulianghai caused trouble, worried about internal changes, but used this trick to deter the country! Forget it, let's not talk about it. Liangbi seemed to realize something and refused to say anything more.
The end of the crisis was clear to Tang Nu Uliang, and his attitude was completely on the side of the new dynasty, singing praises to the Wehrmacht to regain his homeland. At the same time, they were worried about the final attitude of the Russians, for fear of a full-scale war with Russia. He did not believe the rumours in the market about the defeat of the Wehrmacht, otherwise how could the President have the heart to attend a special conference on the construction of the railway? However, as a high-ranking military officer in the Ministry of National Defense, Liangbi made Duanfang feel less comfortable linking the Tangnu Ulianghai crisis to the investigation of the assassination.
Duan Fang didn't close his eyes all night, and his mind was always hovering with the word "rectification" that Liangbi said. After breakfast the next day, Duan Fang went straight to Xiyuan by car and went directly to Haiyan Hall to see Long Qian.
Haiyantang already had guests, and Wang Zhao said to Duan Fang, "Minister Zhou of the Ministry of Industry has just arrived, and he is talking to the president, and it seems that it will not be over for a while." If you're not in a hurry, make another appointment. If it's urgent, I'll let you know. ”
"It's urgent. Secretary Lao Wang will inform the president. ”
"Okay, wait a minute."
Long Qian soon came to the meeting room, "What is the urgency of Mr. Wuqiao?" ”
Duan Fang asked bluntly, "Why did you arrest Pu Wei, Tie Liang and others?" What did they do? ”
"Oh, the Ministry of Police has reported on the investigation of the National Day case. I agreed, and gave Minister Chen Chao carte blanche to handle the case. But the exact circumstances are not clear, and it is not known who was arrested. If you want to know about the case. I advise you to wait a little longer. If you're going to intercede, I don't think you need to. ”
"President, you are acting above board, but it is difficult for you to say below. Tie Liang, Pu Wei, Zaitao and others are not ordinary people, and arresting them will definitely cause a storm, and the president is asked to think twice. ”
"Mr. Wuqiao, the prince has been shouting for thousands of years for breaking the law and the common people, and it is always difficult to do it, a few phoenixes that have landed, what are they not ordinary people? It's the general who fought with me all over the world. I will catch the crime. Minister Chen Chao acted steadily. Never foolishly. If you want to know the specific situation, you can go to Chen Chao. As for the turmoil, Mr. Wuqiao may wish to do some work, so please rest assured. The Police Department handles the case. Facts must be emphasized. Speak of evidence. Okay, let's talk about that later. Wang Zhao, send me a gift to Mr. Wuqiao. ”
Long Qian gave an eviction order. The end party can only say goodbye. drove straight to the Ministry of Police to see Chen Chao, but Chen Chao was not in the ministry, and the beautiful female director of the General Office of the Ministry of Police couldn't tell where Minister Chen had gone, and promised to report to him as soon as Minister Chen returned.
Prince Yi's mansion has been here countless times, but now it has become the headquarters of the secret police of the new dynasty. Seeing the familiar rockery flower pond, the love of things and people naturally came to mind. What is the General Administration of National Security? Duanfang is clear in his heart, it is the East Factory. Although the Qing Dynasty was full of maladministration, it was not done by the secret service, and individual emperors set up some temporary institutions to clean up the interior, but they never set up institutions such as the Ming Dynasty's East and West Factory Jinyiwei to investigate the Quartet. What was the purpose of Long Qian's establishment of the State Security Bureau? Standing in the courtyard of the former prince's mansion, Duan Fang suddenly felt disgusted, the new dynasty brought him hope, but also brought him unhappiness, such as this institution, such as the woman next to him! Si Chen is a loser, what is it for a woman to show up? Even the director of the General Administration of Press and Publication is a woman, and Long Qian has really gone too far.
"Director Wang, you should always know where Minister Chen is now, right?" Duan Fang was anxious to see Chen Chao.
Wang Yuecian groaned and told the truth, "Minister Chen is now going to Dongjuzi Prison. ”
Duanfang knew that place and immediately drove to Dongjuzi Prison.
The more than 20 people arrested were imprisoned in Dongjuzi Prison, and Chen Chao, worried about the identities of several of them, was a little uneasy, and personally went to check the detention situation, this prison has been under the jurisdiction of the State Security Bureau, and only important prisoners are held.
The "suspects" in the assassination case have not yet been tried and are currently being held here, with important figures such as Tie Liang, Pu Wei and Zaitao living in "single rooms". The prison is not an inn, but in Chen Chao's eyes, it is not bad, and the layman minister naturally can't find fault, but just tells Jiang Yun, who accompanied him to inspect, to try to make their food as good as possible on the premise of taking a good look at the prisoners. These people are used to eating and drinking, don't go wrong, we can't do the president a favor.
Jiang Yun naturally agreed. But in his heart, he thought that the more colorful the big man was, the easier it was to succumb, and a few prison meals mixed with sand would make them miserable. On the contrary, there is no shortage of hard bones that are soft and hard. Over the years, Jiang Yun has collected a lot of "strange people" for his own use, such as Liu Xixiang, a torture expert known as "Razor", who used torture to pry open the mouths of two hard-boned assassins to confess his real employer.
This time, Jiang Yun imprisoned the important members of the Zongshe Party in the East Bureau, and transferred Liu Xixiang, who was subordinate to the Pre-trial Section of the Operations Department, to the East Bureau, and asked him to think about how to pry open the mouths of those people without punishment. Jiang Yun knew that Liu Xixiang was a little psychologically perverted, and he took pleasure in torturing people and prisoners. But Zaitao and the others can't be punished lightly, but it is a dream to hope that they will take the initiative to confess, Liu Xixiang said that it doesn't matter, he has a way, please rest assured that within five days, they obediently confessed one by one.
"Xiao Jiang," Chen Chao was still not at ease, "Now some people are paying attention to this matter, and within three days, public opinion will be in an uproar." Even if they do plan the assassination, you can't mess around, otherwise it will be difficult to end it. In addition, I don't know what kind of charter the president is. Several groups of people have come to me today, and Zaifeng has called. Even the Japanese minister has sent someone, and we can't help but think about it. ”
"I've already estimated it. Inside," Jiang Yun pointed to the cell, "there must be innocent people, but there must be masterminds." Mr. Chen, I have always thought that if the guns of the assassins who infiltrated the square that day went off, we would not have to explain to Zaifeng, but the millions of soldiers of the Mengshan Army! ”
"You're right. That's why I agreed to your list. Chen Chao suddenly remembered something, "Is the pursuit in the south over?" ”
"Wang Zhifeng has no final news yet. The gang is much more alert than this guy. By the way, yesterday's retrial of Wang Zhaoming has yielded some new clues, which are of great use to us. Wang Zhaoming is locked up here, do you want to meet him? ”
"What do I see him doing? The man completely succumbed? ”
"You can't say that. A very interesting person, who recently wrote a poem that is said to be very level. I don't understand, you have a lot of knowledge, you can take a look," he said, taking out a piece of paper from his jacket pocket and handing it to Chen Chao, "It's a copy, not his original manuscript." ”
"You can also write poems...... Chen Chao took over the poems.
"The blood in the British resounded all over the world, not counting the Bolangsha back then. Shi Hu really can not have a feather, and the city fox knows whether he regrets grinding his teeth. The sword must be at the bottom of the love, and the rhino is not boastful. Long remember that Yuetai is in the twilight of spring, and the female wall is red all over kapok. ”
Chen Chao's poetry is mediocre, and a few sentimental poems made in private are hidden deep at the bottom of the cabinet, and he refuses to show them, which can be regarded as self-aware. Wang Zhaoming's poem is full of allusions and is obscure, and it takes a few times to understand the meaning of a few sentences, which is also appropriate. Bolangsha's sentence is compared with Zhang Liangzhi Qin, Shi Hu is Zanfei's general Li Guang's martial arts, "beard title" refers to the Later Han Dynasty Wenxu biting the beard and killing himself, and "Jitou" probably refers to Wen Tianxiang's quarrying of Shi Ji's hair. The last two sentences must be the guide to Zhao Tuo's tribute to the Han Dynasty kapok, giving a picture of strong colors, Wang's hometown of Guangdong, is the land of South Vietnam that Zhao Tuo seized back then, and the kapok blooms in late spring - it is this season that the hero's hometown blooms all over the bright kapok.
"In its poetic sense, where to give in. also compares himself to Zhang Liangwen Tianxiang. Chen Chao admits that he can't write such a poem himself.
"Wen Tianxiang? He deserves it too! Jiang Yun snorted, "This person has been treated favorably since he was locked up here last year. The commander has explained that he is not allowed to be rough with him, otherwise he would have prostrated like a dog and pleaded guilty. I trust the judgment of my subordinates, who is merely pretentious, and may not have the will to die. Yesterday I asked him about the surname Jiang, and he poured beans into a bamboo tube without reservation. Although I invited him to tea and chat, it was impossible for him not to realize that I was interrogating, but he was still very cooperative? Fuck, the commander said that there is always too much unfairness in the world, and I kind of understand, and if you do bad things to a certain level, you will be safe. The one surnamed Huang who plotted with him was tortured several times, but in the end he didn't survive, and he was already pulled out of Zuo'anmen and cremated, but because this mastermind is Sun Wen's backbone, isn't he alive and well now? You're still thinking about poetry, phew! Realizing that he was a little rude in front of Chen Chao, "I'm sorry Mr. Chen, I'm a little anxious." felt that the Kuomintang was more dangerous than the Manchus. ”
Before Chen Chao could speak, someone reported that the end party was coming.
"What is he doing here?"
"Isn't it interceding for his former accomplices? Mr. Chen, I don't think you need to ignore him, save some energy. ”
"No, invite him to the interview room." (To be continued......)
