"How dare Wei dare to speak nonsense about these things without conclusive evidence?" Wei Yipeng responded confidently: "Now it depends on how determined Mr. Liang can be. I am afraid that Mr. Liang also knows that there are not many big families in Jinling and even the entire East China Sea who have colluded with the Japanese. They made a lot of wealth by selling ironware, lacquer, tung oil, special canvas, wood, medicinal materials and other embargoed materials to the Japanese. It can be said that Situ Tai mainly relied on these families to control the entire situation in the East China Sea. Because of the cooperation between these families and Situ Tai, other industrial and commercial gentry were forced to succumb to Situ Tai's power. These were Situ Tai's various strategies to defeat him. Otherwise, Situ Tai would just rely on the force in his hands. It will never be possible to completely conquer the East China Sea."
"Very good. Since Mr. Wei is so confident, Mr. Wei does not need to worry about other aspects. The seizures and arrests will all be carried out by the troops directly under my First Army. Since they dare to do these things, they should consider the consequences. We don’t blame them for getting involved with Situ Tai, but they colluded with the Japanese and sold out the interests of the country and the nation in exchange for their family’s wealth. Then we can only say that they brought it upon themselves. Mr. Wei, please bring me the specific information. , I also have some things here. I need to check and verify. We can neither let a traitor slip through the net, nor can we unjustly accuse innocent people at will. But I believe that none of these guys will unjustly accuse them, so let us do it. Let’s start this bleaching campaign. The pure ones will be purified by themselves, and the turbid ones will be turbid by themselves. What we do can be regarded as a way to return everyone’s innocence.” Liang Chongxin smiled slightly, his eyes were calm, and he tapped the side with his hand firmly. Coffee table: "A warning to those who are unkind and want to get rich by any means necessary!"
Starting from November 15, 699 in the Gregorian calendar of the mainland, the month-long campaign to purge treasonous forces in Jinling, known as the "Innocence Movement" in history, officially kicked off. And quickly spread to the entire Donghai County. From November 15th to November 22nd alone, within a week, as many as 67 gentry and industrial and commercial people from the entire Jinling Prefecture were invited to the purge movement headquarters located in the Jinling Interior Affairs Department. Specially selected personnel from the Department and the two major intelligence agencies became the main members of the special campaign to undertake the investigation work. The officers and soldiers of the First Army Regiment directly acted as members of the arrest team and seizure team, and the policemen of Jinling Police Station fulfilled their responsibility of leading the way and identifying people. The three parties cooperated in a tacit understanding, and quickly found their way throughout Jinling. The government rolled up like crazy.
On November 17, Qin Zhishan, the person in charge of the Qin family stationed in the East China Sea, one of the five major families in the empire, was arrested and imprisoned. Immediately, as many as twelve Qin family managers were arrested and imprisoned. The Qin family was in Jinling and Dengzhou. All properties were seized. On November 19, all three main male members of the Du family, one of the four most prominent families in Donghai, including the head of the family, were arrested and imprisoned. All the property of the Du family in the five prefectures of Donghai County was seized, and all male and female members of the family were imprisoned. Imprisoned at home. Do not leave home.
On the morning of November 22, except for the head of the Xu family, one of the three most prominent families in the East China Sea, who was temporarily at home due to critical illness, the other five main male members were taken to the Jinling Internal Affairs Bureau for review. On the afternoon of the 22nd, two male members of the Guo family, another prominent family, were taken to the Jinling Internal Affairs Bureau for investigation. The assets of the two families in the East China Sea were frozen. On November 24, two members of the Guo family were released, and the Guo family's property was immediately unfrozen. November 26th. Three members of the Xu family were formally arrested and imprisoned, while two other members were released on bail, and the Xu family's property was partially unfrozen. But the main part was turned into a seizure. On November 27, Longpan Bank, the second largest bank in the East China Sea, was sealed and the owner of Longpan Bank, Gao Yiming, was arrested and imprisoned. On November 28, the Jiao brothers, the second largest shareholder of Jinling Shipyard, were arrested and imprisoned, and their home was sealed on the same day.
On November 18, the largest Jianghu gang in Jinling, the Black Ship Society, was suddenly encircled and suppressed by a joint force from the Imperial First Army Corps and the Jinling Police Department. The entire arrest operation went extremely smoothly. More than a hundred key members of the entire Black Ship Society were arrested. All were arrested within a day, and then Liang Chongxin declared the Black Ship Society an illegal gang on behalf of the military government. Suspected of colluding with foreign enemies to endanger national interests. Immediately afterwards, Liang Chongxin revealed informally at the cocktail party that evening that the Xijiang government's attitude towards Jianghu forces has not changed. It still encourages legal martial arts practice to strengthen the body, standardizes organization certification procedures, and cracks down on illegal criminal organizations.
On November 21, Xujiazhuang, a well-known suburb of Jinling, was suddenly surrounded by heavily armed soldiers from two brigades directly under the First Army Corps. More than 600 people in Xujiazhuang were arrested, and the entire arrest process was complicated. No bloodshed occurred. However, this arrest caused an uproar throughout the empire. Because the Jinling Xu family is well-known in the martial arts world of the entire empire, its head, Xu Tingshan, calls himself the "Gu Tingquan Man" and rarely participates in martial arts disputes. He is also zealous and fair to his friends in the martial arts world, and has good relations with all the major martial arts sects in the empire. In addition, his son Xu Yiheng is a famous scribe in the East China Sea. His landscape painting skills are quite worthy of Shi Tao's true biography, and his daughter Xu Yiwei is even known as one of the four martial arts masters. One of the great beauties, she traveled around the world with uncertain traces, but she killed many thieves who destroyed good women, especially three years ago on the coast of Dengzhou, she killed the world's number one thieves who were known as "the fragrance of the moonlit night" Chu Liuxiang was very proud of Donghai Wulin Dao.
This series of lightning-like actions swept the entire East China Sea like a violent storm. The action launched from Jinling soon spread to other prefectures and counties, because many of the assets of these famous families are not limited to Jinling, but also to Dengzhou. Pengcheng is also their main industrial location. Under Liang Chongxin's unified order, the military in various places adopted strict military control measures to prevent the rebound of these banned forces. But Liang Chongxin overestimated the fighting power of these industrial and commercial gentry. With Liang Chongxin's thunderous methods and strategies that left a little room for leeway, almost no one dared to question the military's intentions, even when more than 600 people from the Xu family in Jinling were arrested. In such a big event of the seizure, the voice from the East China Sea was quite weak. However, martial arts people from other places who had good relations with Western Xinjiang came forward to protest the injustice, demanding that the Government Affairs Bureau and the Military Justice Department immediately intervene in what happened in the East China Sea to avoid the situation. Some people use their power to avenge their personal grievances and avoid unjust, false and wrongful convictions.
Wu Feng looked at Mo Lun who was roaring like thunder in front of him with a calm face, playing with the stacks of letters in his hands indifferently, as if he was indifferent to the other party's fierce criticism.
"Huh? What's going on? Liang Chongxin is too presumptuous! How dare he overstep his authority so boldly and arrogantly?! Is military control allowed to be reckless? Look at these letters of complaint. The Supervision Department receives dozens of them every day. Ten such reports and complaints, accusing Liang Chongxin and the guy named Wei Yipeng of the bloody storm in the East China Sea. What is this Wei Yipeng tempted? How can a small Jinling police chief have such a big guts? Liang Chong If the letter supports him, he might not even dare to let out one more fart, but now these people are doing whatever they want!"
Pacing back and forth in front of Wu Feng like an angry lion, Mo Lun was really angry. He knew that there must be someone behind Liang Chongxin and this group of stable people who caused such a disturbance in the East China Sea. Needless to say, it was naturally this person. His Highness the King of Qin, but he could not accuse the other party of undermining the rule of law in person. He could only insinuate that Sang scolded Huai and criticized Liang Chongxin. However, the effect did not seem to be very good. The guy in front of him was calm and indifferent. He was obviously prepared for his arrival. Mental preparation, it is clear that you want to let yourself vent and then get through.
"Wufeng, don't pretend to be innocent. You are controlling this matter, right? Who is Liang Chongxin? He is a soldier. Why did he stay in Jinling if he didn't go to the Yanyun line? Could it be that the situation in Jinling is so dangerous that the commander of the First Army must personally take charge, so why is there only one direct regiment left? Why is he staying in Jinling?" Molun couldn't bear it anymore. If this continues, it will only encourage this situation. If there are more cases, if there is no distinction this time, the work of the Legal Affairs Department will be more difficult in the future.
"Mo Lun, don't be so excited. It's all about work. Don't be so emotional, okay? Come on, Di Leina, give Mo Lun a cup of bird's nest soup to cool down the fire." Pi Xiaowen glanced at him without a smile. Mo Lun glared at him with wide eyes. Wu Feng raised his hand to signal the other person to calm down, and then calmly took a sip of tea.
The fat body jumped up, and Mo Lun was furious: "Li Wufeng, don't do this! Don't be careless in front of me. Please explain clearly the question I asked. Why did Liang Chongxin cause such a big mess in the East China Sea?" ? This is a blatant provocation to our legal department! Where does he get the power to throw people into prison at will? Now it has made the gentry, industrial and businessmen panic. Don’t you feel it? Is military control allowed to do whatever you want? There are more than 600 people in the Xu family in Jinling He used the army to arrest them and throw them all into prison. What are you doing? Is it impossible to kill them all? "
"Mo Lun, what's your attitude? Are you interrogating me?" Wu Feng, who was laughing and laughing, simply couldn't understand why this guy showed off his power every time in front of him, and even roared and roared, completely ignoring his identity as the King of Qin. For him, he is still his direct superior, but he also knows that the views held by the other party are not unreasonable. From his perspective, he can only affirm his attitude, otherwise the purpose of establishing the Legal Affairs Department will be lost. and meaning.
