Everything happened so suddenly that Li Qiong was not even mentally prepared. The brewery was burned, the warehouse was destroyed, his home was destroyed, his family members were killed, and only one of the several brothels was left intact. In just one night, Li Qiong
Falling from heaven to hell, the servants and prostitutes under them all sat trembling on the street. Like Li Qiong, they became homeless overnight. For them, brothels are their lives.
The source is a home that protects you from wind and rain.
That night, Nancheng was in chaos. Many people wearing masks rushed into the Rat District. These people were extremely vicious, killing everyone they saw and setting fires constantly. The Rat District is a famous slum area in Yan'an Prefecture, surrounded by low walls.
Surrounded, used to separate it from the city. Many people live in the Rat District, a slum area, home to one-third of the population of Yan'an City.
The fire continued to spread. The houses in the rat area were not made of bluestone. Most of them were made of wood and wrapped in cloth. These simple dwellings were thrown into flames and soon became a sea of fire. The people in the rat area were wailing, and some
Masked men rush out to kill people from time to time. In order to survive, they have no time to put out fires.
When the city patrol arrived, it was already a little too late. Not only were they unable to put out the fire, but the masked men also disappeared. It was obvious that the masked men were hiding among the people in the Rat District, but how could they tell them apart with so many people?
come out?
Recently, Chen Yaofeng has just changed from a cook to a manager. Although he is far from his original position, he finally doesn’t have to look at the fat cook’s face every day. Who would have thought that within two days of his free time, something like this would happen to Nancheng, which he was responsible for?
It was such a big deal that the entire Rat Zone was completely destroyed.
He was not a good-tempered person. When he came to the rat area, he saw rubble and scorched earth everywhere, and smoke was still coming out in many places. He immediately became angry. Yesterday, the governor just held a banquet at the manor, and today
If something like this happens, isn't this a slap in the face? If this matter is not handled well and the Superintendent gets angry, Chen Yaofeng will be the first to be unlucky. These days, he has done enough as a cook. At this time, the patrol
The city soldiers surrounded the rat area, and the poor people were gathered in the open space outside the south city. Since the patrol soldiers maintained order, these poor people did not dare to cause trouble.
Looking at the swarming crowd, Chen Yaofeng frowned. He knew that the troublemakers were hiding among these people, but he couldn't do anything about it. There were so many people in the slums, and if they didn't know each other, they wouldn't be surprised at all. What should I do?
?I was suffering from a headache when I saw several women running towards me surrounded by a man in a state of embarrassment. When these people came closer, they started talking with tears streaming down their faces. After listening for a long time, they finally figured out what was going on.
Li Qiong's name is not unfamiliar. He was the first to respond to a series of policies. Unexpectedly, his family business was completely destroyed. It seems that everything tonight was premeditated. Chen Yaofeng instinctively felt what happened tonight
It's just the beginning, there are a series of conspiracies behind it.
But he was just a martial artist and was not good at investigating crimes. Li Qiong and the prostitutes were still crying miserably. Chen Yaofeng was a little annoyed and waved his hand impatiently, "Stop crying, this is
The Supervisor will definitely make the decision for you, now shut up, if anyone dares to make any more noise, I will have your tongues cut out."
After Chen Yaofeng's threats, the prostitutes no longer dared to cry and just wiped away their tears silently. They were not pretending to be sad. If the Iron Supervisor did not make the decision for them, they would not know where they would live tomorrow. Chen Yaofeng was
Not knowing what to do, a few torches lit up on the street ahead, and a man with an expressionless face led a few guards towards here. Chen Yaofeng's expression moved and he hurriedly greeted him, "General Sha, why are you here?"
The status of Sha Diao is not low. Everyone knows that the surnamed Sha holds a secret agent in his hand. He is very powerful and has won the trust of the supervisor. Chen Yaofeng does not dare to be disrespectful at all, not to mention that he has to ask Sha Diao for many things now. Wei Wei, a little bit
After saying hello, Sha Diao took a moment to look at the situation in the rat area, and a sad look appeared on Gujing Bubo's face, "General Chen, the supervisor is aware of the matter here. The matter is urgent. You and I should work together to solve the matter as soon as possible."
Just solve it."
"General Sha is saying that, Chen also thinks so, but you are also aware of the current situation. You know that the troublemakers are hiding in the crowd, but you don't know how to distinguish them." When Chen Yaofeng said this, he looked sad.
Look.
Sha Diao touched his chin and thought carefully. Unlike Chen Yaofeng, he felt that this matter seemed complicated, but in fact it was very simple. All he had to do was find one of the murderers. These people were also acting under orders, and they were all insignificant people.
The key is to find out who planned this rebellion. There are many poor people in the Rat District. Most of them are people who have not eaten enough. Life was already difficult, but now they have no place to live, and their belongings have been burned. It can be said that they have little livelihood security.
Everything is gone. A group of people who cannot live anymore, in order to find food and shelter, are either making trouble or robbing each other. No matter what the outcome is, it is not a good thing for Yan'an Prefecture. The other party's calculations are indeed deep enough. They have figured out the joints and how many people are involved.
After a few personal instructions, those people went to the poor people and spread the word, "Don't panic, everyone. The Superintendent has issued an order. The imperial court will fund the reconstruction of the rat area. The yamen will also be responsible for everyone's food rations for the past month. All you have to do is wait with peace of mind."
, when necessary, we must cooperate with the city patrol soldiers to find the rebels and rebels."
This arrangement of Sha Diao is very necessary. In this way, it will at least ensure that the poor people in the rat area will not riot and nip the other party's plan to cause trouble in the cradle. With the guarantee of the patrol soldiers, the poor people can feel relieved
Quite a few. As long as they can survive with food and drink, who would risk beheading to cause trouble?
With no worries anymore, everyone relaxed and began to hate the thieves who were causing trouble in the rat area. Many people had already started to curse, "These damn people have to burn down just the place where they live. How dare they have any conscience?"
?If I find them, I will cut these beasts into pieces with a thousand knives."
After appeasing the refugees, the next thing Sha Diao did was to interrogate them. These interrogations were all random. Even so, the number of people was so large that such an interrogation was still a bit like finding a needle in a haystack. The Sha Diao asked not many questions, registering names, and then
More than 40 people were asked repeatedly about their specific place of residence without stopping. Chen Yaofeng stood beside him all the time, feeling dizzy from Sha Diao's interrogation process. "General Sha, just ask about this.
Can it be useful?"
Sha Diao smiled faintly and ignored Chen Yaofeng's impatient expression, "Of course it will work. General Chen will just keep reading patiently and he will soon find out who the murderer is." Sha Diao seemed very confident. This is what he is good at.
This means starting from small things. He is very patient in doing things. If he is impatient, he will often miss many useful details.
Around nine o'clock, five poor people were called to the makeshift interrogation room, five people, three women, and two young and strong men. These five people had been interrogated before. Although they walked into the interrogation room again, they
These people were still a little frightened and did not dare to breathe. The sand sculpture put away his momentum and did not add more pressure to them. "Don't be afraid, everyone. I called you in because I wanted to play a game with you. The rules of the game are very simple.
You all come from the same place of residence. Now, no one of you is allowed to speak, and you are not allowed to say a word. Point out the people you know. Remember, you must know each other and know each other's name. Let's start identifying them now.
."
Sha Diao is very familiar with the situation in urban slums. The living conditions in each slum are urgent, the population is large, and most people are strangers, but most people living in the same area know each other. These poor people live together and often get together to brag.
, there must have been some communication. After listening to Sha Diao's request, the five people all breathed a sigh of relief. Starting from the first woman, this woman carefully looked at the people in front of her and pointed at them one by one, except for the young man at the end.
Strong man.
Immediately afterwards, the second woman began to identify. She pointed to the first woman, and then pointed down, but still did not point to the last young man. When the third woman came forward, before she could finish identifying, the last young man appeared.
The strong man was already sweating. Another young strong man also looked at him suspiciously, as if he was trying to think of who he was. Since they all lived in the same place, how could they not recognize him?
Slowly, Chen Yaofeng also figured out the way. He waited for the third woman to identify him. Without waiting for Sha Diao's instructions, he took two steps forward, slapped the last young and strong man to the ground, and then slapped her hard.
He kicked his feet twice and said, "Okay, tell me, who sent you here?"
But the young and strong man just lay on the ground and groaned without answering a word. Chen Yaofeng wanted to hit him again. Sha Diao shook his head to calm down. He lifted the young and strong man from the ground, and Sha Diao held a sharp short knife.
He gestured towards the man's lower body with his sword. The man's face changed with fright, and his legs trembled. He was not afraid of being beaten, but he was afraid of becoming a eunuch. Now he finally spoke, "No, I say.
..I said...I am the villain sent here by He Qingzhou and Boss He. What happened tonight was what He Qingzhou and others ordered us to do. We also acted under orders, please let us go."
Sha Diao wrinkled his nose and snorted coldly. These undead people were indeed up to something. "Go on, what happened to Li Qiong was also ordered by He Qingzhou and those people?"
"Yes, He Qingzhou personally formulated the plan. According to the plan, we should retreat immediately after destroying the rats. Unexpectedly, the city patrol soldiers came so quickly, and many people were directly blocked in the rat area. We had no choice but to
Now, we can only pretend to be residents of the rat area, but we didn’t expect to be discovered."
The man's face was full of sadness and indescribable depression. He never thought that the other party would come up with such a method of identification. Naturally, the idiot didn't know what others were thinking. Now that he had gotten the desired result, there was no need to waste his time.
, immediately ordered the mobilization of some soldiers from the Ruifeng Battalion and headed towards the West City. Before the time passed, more than 300 soldiers from the Ruifeng Battalion surrounded the He family. At the same time, the Lei family of the wealthy Yan'an businessman Lei Dongze was also heavily besieged.
There was chaos in Yan'an Mansion at night, and He Qingzhou was in a very good mood. He seemed to be able to see the scene of poor people gathering to make trouble. He was so excited that he stayed up all night. When daybreak was approaching, he was still in an excited state. He saw a trace of fish belly white on the horizon, which was wonderful.
The news should have come, but the door was knocked open with a loud bang. The sound was so violent that the wine glass in his hand fell to the ground and shattered in fear. A group of soldiers tied up several domestic servants indiscriminately.
One of the servants wanted to resist, but was stabbed with several bloody holes. Seeing these ferocious soldiers, He Qingzhou tried to calm down, "You... what on earth are you going to do..."
The sand sculpture didn't take it seriously and walked in. He stared at He Qingzhou with a sharp gaze. Just one glance made He Qingzhou feel like he was being seen through. A chill ran down his back, "He Qingzhou, you have the nerve to say these things."
What? If you had any conscience, would you attack the countless poor people in the Rat District?"
"You are talking nonsense." He Qingzhou couldn't help being frightened, but this kind of thing must not be admitted, and he must be killed. Once he lets go, there will be no way to survive at all. Even if the Iron Superintendent does not take action,
The angry poor people in the Rat District could drown him out, "What happened in the Rat District has nothing to do with me. If the Superintendent wants to touch someone, just say so. Why bother to find these reasons."
"I really can't shed tears until I see the coffin. Come here and tie up He Qingzhou. Our torture will be tried on He Qingzhou again." Two guards came forward and sandwiched He Qingzhou on the left and right. Now He Qingzhou finally managed to
Some are afraid, and they will be tortured when they come up. Isn't this just a trick of beating someone? "You are unreasonable. You are a trick of beating someone. If you spread the word, who will believe you?"
"Ha" Sha Diao couldn't help but his eyes widened, and then he waved his hand at He Qingzhou's face. The force of his hand was so strong that He Qingzhou was blinded. "What's the point? This is the first time that Sha has heard that someone wants to join me."
You are still the first when the Beijun tries to reason, do you think you are a fool, or are you too smart?"
Most of He Qingzhou's anger and energy were immediately released. The other party was not a fool. In contrast, he was a fool, a complete fool. The sand sculpture sneered at the corner of his mouth and reached out to tap He Qingzhou's chest, "You idiot, you really think that
You can hide it from the sky, and to tell you the truth, the Superintendent had long expected that you people would not give up, but I didn’t expect it to come so soon."
"What?" He Qingzhou was completely stunned at this moment. Did he really fall into Tie Mo's trap? Sha Diao waved his hand and signaled his men to take He Qingzhou away quickly. What followed was a big purge. At the same time, Lei Mo
His home was also surrounded and suppressed. Although Lei Dongze led the crowd to resist, in the end they could not withstand the onslaught of soldiers from the Ruifeng Battalion. Lei's home was breached and Lei Dongze was killed on the spot.
