Chapter 1063 Revenge
Zhou Sanqiang, because he is the third child in his family, is called Zhou Sanlang in the underworld. Of course, there must be a prefix to be called before being in the underworld, such as Xiaoyi Heisanlang, timely rain, and the nicknames in Water Margin.
But unfortunately, Zhou Sanlang is not as good as Heisanlang, and he did not get the prefix name. The main reason is that he is not good enough, and the second reason is that he does not do human things.
There is a contempt chain in the gangster circle, such as not bullying women and children, not bullying poor people, etc. At this time, some gangsters are also persistent.
Or to put it another way, to a certain extent, this is the "correctness" in the gangster circle. Acting on behalf of heaven, robbing the rich to help the poor, etc., are all "legitimate" reasons for gangster gangs.
Even if you don't do it that way, you have to package yourself that way. Even if no one agrees, but others do it, you have to admire it.
This week, Zhou Sanlang opened a casino. The people who came to play were rich and poor. He lent money to people at high interest rates. He relied on his many lackeys and some connections with the government to collect debts and even beat people. If someone's wife and children were beautiful, he would always touch them. Then he would sell them to others as slaves or to brothels.
For such a player, people couldn't think of any name to give him, so they could only call him Sanlang Sanlang. Fortunately, although Sanlang was a bit crazy, he knew that he couldn't be too crazy in Tokyo. So he didn't shamelessly give himself a nickname.
At noon, Zhou Sanqiang, who had been drinking and partying all night, woke up in the brothel as usual. He pushed the beautiful prostitute hanging on him aside. The latter didn't pay attention to Zhou Sanqiang's rudeness, but just turned aside and continued to sleep soundly.
Zhou Sanqiang put on his clothes loosely and yawned as he went out.
As soon as he got outside, he saw more than a dozen well-armed patrolmen standing at the door in a casual manner. He didn't care, and naturally didn't notice that the gang blocked all the positions at the door, all within two steps of the rescue. Outside, there were two people holding the crossbow hanging from their waists.
He glanced around, not avoiding the fact that others were looking at him. He happened to find that the leader of the ten-man police team was someone he knew, and immediately greeted him with a smile.
"Boss Chen, what are you doing?"
He was casual, completely ignoring others, and went straight to the captain named Chen.
The captain named Chen was called by this person, and he was panicked, and waved his hands hurriedly: "Catch him, catch him, quickly."
As soon as Zhou Sanqiang finished speaking, a group of people quickly surrounded him and captured him, tied him up tightly with ropes, and blocked his mouth roughly with a rag snatched from the servants in the brothel.
Everything happened so fast that Zhou Sanqiang was tied up before he could even react. He struggled hard, trying to make himself clear.
Then, the captain named Chen punched him in the stomach, which made his veins all over his body and his eyes bulged out, as if they were about to burst.
Captain Chen spat and cursed, "You bastard, you dare to get close to me, even if you are of any level. Take him away, take him away, but don't let the inspector wait for long. I tell you, don't go back and gossip, I don't know this shitty Zhou Sanqiang."
"Don't worry, Chen, the inspector has confessed. It doesn't matter if you know him, as long as the news is not leaked or the person runs away."
"How could I not know? But the inspector is so powerful that I, Chen, tremble when I see him. The previous judge was so powerful, wasn't he? He encouraged us to cause trouble with the inspector, but he still ran away in disgrace. I heard that he looked for a circle of connections, but no one helped him. If he ran slower Son, maybe the first place our brothers would raid would be his house.
And the former captains, they used to beat or scold us, but what happened? Now they are all waiting to go to the northwest. It was not easy to stay here, and the inspector was very generous. If you get implicated because of such a thing, you will be in trouble for eight lifetimes. Damn, you are so talkative. "
Captain Chen was still not satisfied, and kicked Zhou Sanqiang again, waving his hands impatiently, "Take him away, take him away, go back and take care of him first."
At the same time, teams of patrolmen arrested the accountant, the thugs, and Zhou Sanqiang's family, none of them escaped.
This is the important role of the patrolmen. They can really find the people they want to find quickly and accurately in a city with a population of one million. Gangsters and prostitutes are like prostitutes, they cannot be banned. This is due to the differences between people. There are always lazy people, and there are always people who want to bully others a little to make themselves live better.
That afternoon, Wang Yan saw the gangster leader who was beaten with bruises all over his body, bruised and swollen, and had difficulty opening his eyes. There was red drool at the corners of his mouth. The glorious gangster leader was really miserable.
Wang Yan put his hands behind his back, looked at the surrounding environment, turned around and said to the new judge who was following him: "Set aside some money to repair this dungeon. As for manpower, use these captured people and ask the craftsmen of the General Works to come and guide and supervise."
"Yes, Inspector, I will arrange it tomorrow."
Nodding, Wang Yan asked: "Where is the account book?"
"You dog official, let's see how long you can be rampant."
"When I was in Hangzhou, there was a prison chief who was responsible for torture. He had a sharp knife and a pair of steady hands. At that time, there was a wealthy family named Liu who participated in the mass rebellion and killing of officials, and was involved in reselling prohibited items in the army. The matter is also implicated. This wealthy man named Liu is very stubborn. He refuses to speak and refuses to explain. He curses his ancestors for eighteen generations and wants to bite me to death.
At that time, the prison head said that he could drive the blade into the skin and flesh until the bones were visible. What he wants is to cut the human body into only a skeleton, but not to die. The officer asked him to show it off, and he saw that it was like a butcher undressing an ox. He had a good arm, but within a moment there were only white bones left.
The skin and meat are taken and grilled in an iron pot, which is extremely delicious. I wanted to tell the wealthy man named Liu to fend for himself, but he was so frightened that he pissed himself and all of them came out. The skin and flesh couldn't just be thrown away, so in the end they had to be fed to the dogs. I was horrified, thinking that this move would harm the peace of the world, so I would not use it easily. "
Wang Yan shook his head and sighed, and waved to the prison head who was carefully leaning against the wall with the torture instrument in his hand, "He San'er, come and try, shave his hands first, so that he can practice his skills. As long as he can pass it on Children and grandchildren, there will be enough food for your family for several generations.”
"Hey, okay, patrolman, look at it. This villain's sword is not blunt either."
"Don't come over, don't come over...ah..." Zhou Qiang struggled in fear. Finally, when the cold touch of the knife fell on his hand, he said loudly, "I said it, I said it, The ledger is in a secret compartment on the side of the beam of my house..."
He San stopped with some pity and turned back to look at Wang Yan.
"It's already come to this point, why don't you use a knife?" Wang Yan cursed with a smile and waved his hand casually, "Let's use a knife. You need to feel it first. The thinner the better."
He San turned around and patted Zhou Qiang's face: "Don't move. If this cut is not good, I will cut it a second time..."
Zhou Qiang still peed. He was considered a tough guy, otherwise he wouldn't have fought for so long without registering where the ledger was. But the current sword is not a sword. Because he was struck by this knife, he imagined that his hands were shaved into skeletons. That was too scary...
However, no one paid attention to Zhou Qiang's pain. Everyone looked at He San'er who was concentrating on using the knife. Even Wang Yan was a little surprised. Nothing else. His hands were very steady and the slices of meat were really thin. Sure enough, even if the Song Dynasty is not good, it is true that there are many talents in this land.
As He Sanyi ended what was probably the first meaningful activity in his life with an unsatisfied look on his face, Zhou Qiang finally explained everything in detail, fearing that he might have missed something, so he would give him a second blow later. Then feed the dog in front of him, or even let him eat it himself.
From when I was a child, I watched the widow take a bath, to how I made the first pot of gold, what people were persecuted for so many years, and where did the funds come from to release the massive loan sharks, as well as the cooperative brothels, and the slave trade partners in the market.
But what surprised Wang Yan was that this week San Qiang also revealed a new situation.
Wang Yan frowned slightly and asked, "How much do you know about the Worry-free Cave I just mentioned?"
"Grandpa, I really don't know. I even sold a few beautiful women to them. I didn't know it at the time. Later, I heard the middleman told me that they came up from below. There is a legend in the world that the Worry-free Cave is too deep. The test is right at our feet. It extends in all directions, and if no one is there to guide you, you will never be able to get out again.
There are people who have committed serious crimes, all ruthless people who kill without batting an eye, and they are hiding from the government down there. They opened casinos and brothels inside, which are even more stunning than on the ground. I heard that it is extremely prosperous and is an underground paradise where gold cannot be exchanged. "
Wang Yan sneered, bullshit underground heaven.
People often have the greatest illusions about places they don’t understand.
With the current level of technology, how good can a nest dug out of the ground be? Ventilation can solve the problem, and the earthy smell can be covered up. Lighting can also rely on candles, coupled with various mirror reflections, to create a dim and ambiguous haze. However, underground moisture, snakes, insects, rats, ants, and damage to the building, etc. Wait, these are not easy to solve. Taken together, it's definitely not as good as it sounds.
It is true that they harbor evil and evil. There will definitely be businesses like human trafficking, killers, gambling, etc. After all, they always have to make money and live. But it is impossible to say that all dignitaries and dignitaries go underground to enjoy themselves.
If it really develops to that level, no matter how intricate and maze-like the underground passages are, the Forbidden Army can fill them in.
He ignored it and asked people to continue the interrogation, while Wang Yan went back to continue selecting people. With more than 500 people, it is really a waste to capture just one Zhou Qiang. Now that we are trying our best, it is natural to use manpower more rationally.
During this operation, Wang Yan had a general understanding of each person's abilities and made more detailed manpower arrangements. More than 500 people were divided into three groups. One group went to various places to confirm the location of people, the second group was only responsible for arresting people according to the places provided by the first group, and the third group was specifically responsible for searching homes.
In order to carry out larger-scale activities, Wang Yan activated a large number of helpers. A guarantee system is implemented, and one person can bring one person with him. Whether it is a gangster on the street who is not well-known, or someone's family member, or even a relative, as long as he is reliable, he can be brought over to do things. He also promised to select these people first when expanding the team in the future. Those who are not selected can also serve as helpers and get paid.
Wang Yan's move can be said to completely abandon the past Bangxian, and at the same time enhance the Bangxian's status. The helper is no longer a temporary worker, but has been upgraded to a non-staff contract worker. Relatively speaking, the stability and reliability are improved. Having a job and not having a job, the importance attached to work are two different concepts...
He has this authority. As long as he doesn't ask for unplanned money from Kaifeng Mansion, then this is his power.
Although Wang Yan did not have many manpower at his disposal, which could not be called a severe attack, an atmosphere of severe attack was created. Even though only his Zuo Xun Yuan was stricter, it still caused turmoil in the entire Bianjing city.
After all, I hear every day that some of the more powerful gangster leaders have been arrested, their homes have been ransacked, and even the gangster leader's wife has appeared on the official marriage list. Anyone who wants to do bad things must tremble.
Wang Yan, however, didn't care about anything and spent a whole month arresting people. The prisons in the Left Circuit Court were already full. For this reason, Wang Yan forcefully requisitioned the prison in the Right Circuit Court.
Kaifeng Prefecture's Fa Cao and privately enlisted in the army, they have been dealing with all the matters brought by Wang Yan recently, and they are busy from morning to night every day. After all, the inspection court is not responsible for the aftermath. They arrest people and try out the problems. The rest is all the matter of the prosecutors. They have to find the relevant victims, carry out sentencing, and form a certain chain of evidence and form official documents. , the most important thing to go to Dali Temple is the Political Affairs Hall.
These are all secondary. The key thing is that Wang Yan will compensate the victims, and others will not get a cent. More importantly, the people Wang Yan captured had their homes confiscated all by themselves, and no one else could get the big deal. What's more important is that even if they can't get it, Wang Yan still wants to deal with them.
Because there were many official officials and some big businessmen involved, Wang Yan was very rude. For high-level officials, he would write official documents directly to Lu Gongchuo. For low-level officials, he would come directly to arrest people and ransack their homes. Later, he would form an official document and report it to Lu Gongchuo.
To be honest, Wang Yan dealt with the officials privately, but to be disrespectful, Wang Yan also sent official documents to Lu Gongchuo, and handed over a lot of the money he found to the government office. This made Lu Gongchuo very embarrassed.
At the same time, the capital was already in chaos.
It's not civil unrest, it's official unrest.
The gangsters on the street were all silenced by Wang Yan. The people's lives had improved recently. If they had any trouble, they could complain to Kaifeng Mansion one by one. Because the Zuo Xun Yuan specially sent people to wait at the yamen gate. If the people said something about someone or something, they would be arrested in less than an hour.
If it's a serious and ordinary dispute between common people, it's okay. If there are some gangsters and the like, don't worry about it. The least serious ones will start with labor in March. This was Wang Yan's suggestion to the Kaifeng Prefecture, that is, the second-in-command's suggestion was agreed upon by the various counties and towns within Kaifeng Prefecture's boundary regarding official affairs. The second-in-command was in charge of the project, and he would provide some manpower that would eat, drink, and even die.
Under such circumstances, how could the people be in chaos?
It was still because Wang Yan targeted officials and some relatively powerful wealthy families in the city. Even if he did not target larger criminal gangs, the mid-level gangs were already very powerful and involved many people. The big families and officials they brought out who were neither good nor low could still find backers later on.
Everyone knows Wang Yan's way of doing things. He is definitely not satisfied with just catching small shrimps. After all, when Wang Yan was in Hangzhou, he was working for top big players. After all, not everyone can be a grain merchant, and not everyone can cooperate with the government to resell Changpingcang grain.
So they knew very clearly that when Wang Yan caught the medium-sized criminal gang, he would definitely take action against those at the top. Even Wang Yan has a lot of evidence in his hands now, but he doesn't want to catch them, he just wants to play with them.
Of course they couldn't sit still and wait for death, so some people attended the court meeting where Wang Yan was not senior enough to participate, and joined Sheng Hong, the Kang family of Lianqiao, and the Wang family of his daughter-in-law's natal family.
They were very sensible and didn't say anything else except that all three companies were lending money. This was used to implicate Wang Yan, saying that he himself was not upright and could not hold an important position in the Left Patrol Council...
When he was in court, Zhao Zhen ordered people to call Wang Yan to the palace. When he was in court, he directly questioned him in the political hall.
Wang Yan did not panic, he cupped his hands and said with a smile: "Why should the official be angry? I see that the official's face is rosy and his body is much better than when he last met you. I think the official used my method? I'm brave. , please let the officials take a look. Some trivial matters are not worthy of the officials' anger, but the dragon body is more important."
Before Zhao Zhen could speak, Pang Ji answered with a smile: "What, Inspector Wang is trying to be vague?"
Wang Yan raised his eyebrows and replied: "Pang Xiang was joking. This matter has nothing to do with the official. It has only been three years since I got married to the daughter of the Sheng family. My father-in-law Sheng Hong is always cautious and cautious in doing things. It's appropriate, and the Sheng family is not short of money. The money loan must have been done privately by the mother-in-law. To put it bluntly, I am just short-sighted and must have been deceived by others.
The young and confused person must be the Wang family from his mother's family, and his sister Kang Wang family. As far as I know, both the Wang family and the Kang family are not stable. They insist on being high-ranking and do not want to be loyal to the country. They only care about staying with the country. However, the children in the family are not living up to expectations, and no one has become a high-ranking official, but they still have some old relationships. So he made trouble for the people and made some money to maintain his luxurious life.
The subordinate thought that a special person could be dispatched to supervise the investigation and find out the cause. The lower official's mother-in-law's affairs will not be covered up, and all the copper fines will be paid by the lower official, and the mother-in-law will be allowed to shut up and reflect on her faults. "
"In that case, how about letting your selfless and selfless Inspector Wang supervise the operation?"
"A lower official must be impartial and selfless."
Do you want to play this game with me? Wang Yan glanced sideways at the man, then directly raised his hand to Zhao Zhen and said, "In the official family, I reported that Zhou Kongmu was lax in his discipline and used power for personal gain. Last year, his son hired thieves in the city to rape and defile civilian girls in the street, and humiliated them to death. Afterwards, the head of the Kaifeng Prefecture, Cao Cao, suppressed it. It is said that he held Zhou Kongmu's post.
The person in charge of Kong Mu in the political affairs hall is an important minister of the country. Such disregard of national laws and the principles of the court is a heinous crime and he is not worthy of being here. His home should be raided, his post should be dismissed, he should be sent to a distant position, and he should be transported two thousand miles away. "
The Kongmufang is an affiliated department of the Political Affairs Hall, similar to the secretariat. It does clerical work. The person in charge is naturally a serious official similar to the Chief Secretary of the Political Affairs Hall.
"The official, Wang Yan was framed..." Kong Mu, surnamed Zhou, jumped out, knelt on the ground, shouted injustice, and wanted to defend himself.
Wang Yan interrupted even louder: "Everything I said is true. Witnesses include the thieves who were working at that time, the girl's parents, the clerk in court, the clerk who sent messages, and the bones of the girl. Now what happened Fa, do you dare to speak sophistry in front of the officials? Is this a traitor worthy of holding the power of the Song Dynasty? Officials, please kill this unfaithful and dishonest thief."
Not only was his voice loud, but his demeanor was also on point, and his tone was extremely sad and angry. It seems that if this person is not dealt with, the Song Dynasty will be over.
"Wang Yan! You..."
"That's enough." Zhao Zhen waved his hand tiredly, glanced at the man, and said to Wang Yan, "Wang Qing, doesn't he want to give me a look? It just so happens that he can also take a look at my strength-building skills to see if they are right. I heard you have a better one? Tell me about it."
"I obey the order." Wang Yan cupped his hands and followed Zhao Zhen away, leaving only the people in the political hall with different thoughts and Kong Mu, who was slumped on the ground in a daze...
Zhao Zhen put his hands behind his back and stomped slowly with square steps. Wang Yan took a step behind and swayed along with him. The eunuchs in the back are far away.
"Wang Qing, do you know what is the most important thing in the country?"
"When I return to my official home, my first priority is stability."
"Now that you know it, why are you acting so urgently? Wang Qing, you haven't even bothered yet..."
Zhao Zhen spoke with sincerity, but the meaning of his words was very serious.
"This is the duty of the inspector, and it is not an act of overstepping my authority. Since I took office, the number of lawsuits and criminal cases in Kaifeng Mansion has been decreasing day by day, and has been reduced to 40% so far. The people in the city live and work in peace and contentment, and there are fewer street tigers on the streets. , I clapped my hands and applauded. I also inspected the money, land, shops, etc., totaling 200,000 yuan. I believe that if the people are stable, the country will be stable."
"Two hundred thousand dollars?" Zhao Zhen stopped and looked at Wang Yan in surprise.
"Exactly. So far, I have only captured six gangs of organized thieves and powerful men, plus a few officials and big families who have been implicated."
Wang Yan was not surprised that Zhao Zhen was shocked. He didn't dare to open a big business. The people rebelled every day. How could he know what it meant to hide wealth among the people?
In the first year of Huangyou's reign, the annual cash income was less than 5 million yuan, and Wang Yan had not exerted much effort this month. The assets he controls are all high-quality assets that can be cashed out quickly. To say 200,000 yuan is a bit understated.
Of course, if he kills all the big players and leaves no one to take over, that's another story.
Seeing Zhao Zhen's eyes twinkling, Wang Yan said: "Officers, there are many lawless families in the city. I thought that if I copied them all, I'm afraid there would be tens of millions. I only know what happened today." I am afraid that if I find them, they are all guilty of committing crimes. Officials can rest assured that tomorrow I will find evidence of the crimes of those people and they will be punished. I have been raising scholars in the Song Dynasty for a hundred years, so why worry about no one becoming an official?
I know that the officials are worried about their instability, but if the people's hearts are stable, why should the officials be worried? In this way, we can not only eliminate the traitors of the country, but also contribute annual income to the country and kill two birds with one stone. Why not do it, officials..."
Zhao Zhen glanced at Wang Yan who was sincere, turned around and continued walking slowly: "Wang Qing, you'd better give me a good look. I do feel better recently, but I still feel a little uncomfortable."
"The official family, I'm afraid it's because I didn't give my instructions. From what I can see, the official family has been having frequent sexual intercourse recently."
"Ahem...Wang Qing..."
I would like to express my daily gratitude to the good brothers who vote monthly, recommend and read quietly for their strong support!
