Chapter 1398 Clean Up
The discovery of so many weapons from Ma Bo's house shows that these people are not willing to lurk in the dark all the time, but are already preparing for an incident in secret.The weapons discovered so far alone are enough to arm 60 to [-] people. Obviously, the opponent is preparing or mobilizing more than these three people. Even if they keep silent, Chen Yixin can expect that there should be other accomplices lurking nearby Areas – such as immigration camps with a mixed population.
The soldiers found a brazier with embers still in the bedroom in the third courtyard, which was full of paper ashes. It was obvious that after they found out that they were surrounded, they put some letters, ledgers and other things into incineration and destruction.These items are likely to have recorded information about their accomplices, so the three did not try to escape from Marbo's house before, but tried to destroy these evidences to cut off the investigation leads.
After the soldiers rummaged through boxes and cabinets in Marbo's bedroom, they found a hidden compartment behind the closet and dug out a lot of property from it.There are more than 5000 yuan in Haihan banknotes alone, and more than [-] taels of banknotes from a bank in Jinan Prefecture. In addition, there are several silver ingots and gold bars. This amount is not the wealth that a rich local family should have.Of course, no matter where the money comes from, there is only one way to go next, and that is to be confiscated by the garrison.
Chen Yixin was also a little surprised when he saw these properties. Logically speaking, with Ma Bo's operational ability and the size of the Majiazhuang immigration camp, it would not be easy for him to pocket such money.But after thinking about it, Ma Bo colluded with the people in the Ming government, and I'm afraid he got a lot of benefits from it. This guy eats money at both ends, and he doesn't dare to be too ostentatious in Majiazhuang, so naturally he can only hide all the money .
This kind of practice is actually not surprising. During Haihan's expansion of the control area in the south, there were quite a few people in Fuguang and Guangxi provinces who engaged in this kind of operation.It is difficult for many people to choose a single position between Daming and Haihan. Therefore, it is normal for Haihan's partners to have both ends, looking forward and backward, and even jumping back and forth.Even people with a much higher social status than Ma Bo can hardly avoid such a situation.When Chen Yixin was on Dawanshan Island in the Pearl River Estuary, he saw many such cases.
From the standpoint of the person involved, it is indeed difficult for a small person like Marbo to choose between the two strong men. The object being cleared.Chen Yixin raised his hand, and the adjutant behind him immediately posted up, and listened to his order: "Notify Zeng Xiaowen, arrest people!"
Although Chen Yixin knew beforehand that Ma Bo's background was not clean, he didn't want to arrest Ma Bo without any actual evidence. After all, there was a layer of in-law relationship. .But after the arrest of these three people, the fact that Ma Bo had colluded with him to commit crimes was basically confirmed, so there was no need to wait for Zeng Xiaowen to sift through the immigration camp before doing anything.
The adjutant immediately took the order and left. Chen Yixin looked at the three captives who had lost their resistance, and ordered lightly: "These three people will be interrogated on the spot, and within an hour, pry their mouths open. At that time, they will not Those who confess will be dragged out and shot."
When Chen Yixin said this, he didn't evade it, so the three prisoners naturally listened to his order, and their faces changed color when they heard the words.Although they were mentally prepared to die at the hands of their opponents, they still had a little desire to survive. If Hai Han wanted to take them into custody for interrogation, they would at least survive for a while.But Chen Yixin shortened their lives to a terrible degree with just a few words. Not everyone can bear the feeling of knowing that their time is approaching.
Chen Yixin didn't take another look at them. He specially transferred a few good torturers from Zhifu Island this time. There was no need to watch them personally for the next thing, and he had his own professionals to deal with them.Even if these people were still bitten to death in the end and refused to speak, Chen Yixin didn't care too much. After all, these three people were not the only ones lurking in this area, and sooner or later they would dig out others.Besides, even if specially trained intelligence personnel like them can keep their mouths shut, can Ma Bo, who was born in the countryside, also be able to do it?That is of course impossible, if you can't pry it open, you just need to pry it in another place.
Chen Yixin's eagerness to leave was not to get rid of Ma Bo. With Zeng Xiaowen watching over the immigration camp, Ma Bo would definitely not be able to escape.In addition to the two places of Ma Bo's house and the immigration camp, the troops under his command will also clean up the entire Majiazhuang area today, especially the shops and storehouses opened by foreign businessmen here. key goals.The composition of these foreign businessmen and migrant workers is very complicated, and the interest groups they belong to cannot simply distinguish the situation between the enemy and us. Chen Yixin feels that it is more reassuring to keep an eye on it by himself, and resolve any conflicts and disputes in a timely manner.
Although the merchants who came to Majiazhuang to do business were all civilians, they were similar to what Haihan had encountered in the southern coastal provinces. Most of these people who were able to enter the Haihan occupied area to do business had more or less Little official background.In other words, these people are able to shuttle back and forth between the Daming and Haihan control areas, which is not something that can be done just by being brave. After that, they will probably be investigated by the government for charges of "colluding with foreigners".
Cross-border trade is an extremely lucrative industry, no matter for Haihan or for those big shots hidden behind the merchants.So even though the Shandong government is in a confrontation with the Haihan army occupying Fushan County, there are still some people who will choose to secretly communicate with Haihan for money, and use semi-open trade methods to make considerable profits.Since Haihan occupied Fushan County for more than a year, the flow of personnel and materials between the two sides has never really been interrupted. In addition to Haihan's proper grasp of the military operations, the vested interests in the local government of Ming Dynasty have also made a lot of mistakes. strength.
For this kind of cooperation in the gray area, Haihan is naturally happy to see the results. This has greatly relieved the pressure on the material and labor demand in the occupied area, and it is also the main source of local income for the garrison at this stage. one.The Shandong garrison specially built Majiazhuang into a local trade center, largely because of economic considerations.If such an incident caused the current trading system to stagnate, then Chen Yixin would definitely not allow such a situation to happen.
Chen Yixin's adjutant has not sent the order to arrest Ma Bo to the immigration camp, but Ma Bo is already on the verge of collapse.Zeng Xiaowen's roll call is not just a roll call, but arresting people at the same time.When someone's name was called, Zeng Xiaowen stopped the roll call process, let the person who was called out, and then asked several soldiers to go forward and shackled that person's hands and feet.Although the man tried to struggle at first, he had to calm down after taking a few gun butts in a row.
After doing this two times and three times, Ma Bo certainly noticed that all the people Zeng Xiaowen arrested were special personnel with another identity.Obviously, this kind of highly targeted arrest cannot be a random chance, but a well-prepared one.He didn't know how Zeng Xiaowen, who rarely came to immigration camps, found out the real identities of these people, but seeing these people lurking among the refugees being caught one by one, his heart beat faster and faster, knowing that these people were arrested After it's over, it's likely to be your turn.
Thinking of this section, Marbo couldn't help thinking of sneaking away.But when he glanced left and right, he could only groan in his heart. There were at least [-] to [-] Haihan soldiers within a radius of ten feet. Unless he had the invisibility technique, it was absolutely impossible for him to disappear in front of so many pairs of eyes.
Just as his eyes were wandering, he saw an officer running in hastily from the gate of the immigration camp and came straight to Zeng Xiaowen.After the two sides exchanged military salutes, the officer lowered his voice and said a few words to Zeng Xiaowen.Ma Bo glanced over, and found that the other party stared at him while talking, and it seemed that what he said seemed to be related to him.
After the officer finished speaking a few words, he left directly.Zeng Xiaowen turned around and said to Ma Bo: "Just now is the latest order from the chief..."
Zeng Xiaowen looked at Ma Bo's ashesy face, and said slowly, "I want you to be arrested immediately! Someone, take him down!"
When even two soldiers stepped forward, they pressed Marbo's shoulders from behind, and then twisted his arms behind his back.When Ma Bo heard the word "arrest", his hands and feet were limp, unable to struggle at all, allowing the soldiers to handcuff his hands behind his back.
"You secretly colluded with foreign lawbreakers to plot wrongdoing, Ma Bo, are you convicted?" Zeng Xiaowen looked at Ma Bo who was limp on the ground, and said his crime indifferently.Of course, this is just a rhetoric used to arrest him, and the real charges still need to be investigated, but they should be much more serious than the current charges.
Ma Bo knelt on the ground, his body was like sifting chaff, and he couldn't speak well: "Little man... wrong... wrong..."
Seeing his appearance, Zeng Xiaowen simply knelt down in front of him and said, "Are you wronged? Do you dare to say that you don't know about the fact that there are spies lurking in Majiazhuang? I just caught these people, you Think they won't point you out?"
Zeng Xiaowen didn't have the slightest confidence in the few people he caught. He just picked people according to the list in the report letter he received last night. If the report is true, then it is very likely that these people colluded with Ma Bo Together with the Daming spies.And their identities did not need to be verified at all, and Ma Bo's reaction at this time already explained everything.
Ma Bo responded in a panic: "Master Zeng, the villain was forced to do nothing...you let the villain meet Mr. Chen first, this matter can...can be explained..."
Zeng Xiaowen smiled and did not respond to him, stood up and ordered: "Continue to roll roll!"
In the final roll call, there were 310 seven people on the roster, but there were actually only 270 six people, a difference of more than 40 people.This meant that one out of every eight people in the immigration camp had a vacant quota, and the expenses that Haihan put on this vacant person naturally flowed into the pockets of a big mouse like Marbo.
Of course, this is not the biggest problem. If it is just greedy for money, then there is no need for the garrison to make such a big formation.Zeng Xiaowen arrested five people according to the list listed in the letter, and the real identities of these people were the fundamental reason why the garrison took this action.
Zeng Xiaowen returned to Ma Bo again and said: "Now I will give you a chance to redeem your crimes. Listen carefully. I have captured the true identities of these people. You should know better than me. Let me ask you, this immigrant Is there any fish that slipped through the net in the camp?"
Ma Bo seemed to have grasped a life-saving straw, and quickly asked: "If the villain said it, can he be exonerated?"
Zeng Xiaowen shook his head and said, "You have committed too many crimes. You can avoid capital crimes, but you cannot escape living crimes."
Ma Bo continued to ask: "Then can you keep the family property?"
"Illegal wealth and illegal gains should be handled by the garrison at their own discretion. As for your real estate title deed, as long as it is verified that there is a holding period of more than one year, it will be left to your family." Zeng Xiaowen changed the subject here: "Ma Bo, this is not the time for you to bargain. Think about it carefully. I can arrest these people without your identification. If you are unwilling to cooperate with the investigation, then I will take you into custody first. I will ask Mr. Chen later. I will also tell you the truth about your attitude. You don’t have to expect Mr. Chen to forgive you. I’m not afraid to tell you that Mr. Chen went to find your family head before. Since he wants to take you, he won’t let Ma Jiabao do you understand?"
"Understood... The villain understands..." After hearing these words, Ma Bo knew that the general situation was over. If he continued to carry on with Zeng Xiaowen, his situation would only become more passive.For a moment, he didn't bother to think about why Zeng Xiaowen couldn't be sure whether he had caught all the people who should be arrested after arresting these five people. Right now, saving his life is the most important thing, so he can only spit out all the situations he knows.
"Secretary Zeng, there are still several of their accomplices in this immigrant camp... In addition, in the villain's house, there are three people pretending to be house servants and hiding in the third yard. The villain can come forward and identify them!" After Ma Bo recognized the situation , and didn't take any chances anymore, and immediately confessed like beans in a bamboo tube.
"The people hiding in your family can't escape. You should identify all the accomplices in the immigration camp first, and then Master Chen will ask me, so that I can intercede with him." With the news of the progress of Zhuang Nei's arrest, knowing that the current focus is to thoroughly clean up the immigration camp, he asked Ma Bo to show his attitude with actions immediately.
I wish all readers and friends good health and prosperity in the Year of the Dog!
