Chapter 145 Capture Operation

A gloomy middle-aged man came out of the room. The middle-aged man looked a little angry. Behind him, he led several soldiers with blades to walk out of the room. At this time, the middle-aged man did not know what was going on outside. He just heard a lot of screams in the yard outside. Before that, he was discussing things in the secret room. Hearing these voices, he thought that someone had come to his yard to make trouble, so he rushed out angrily.

However, when he walked out of the yard, he saw many people in black military uniforms searching and arresting in the yard. Suddenly, he was so scared that his face turned pale.

When the east window incident happened, the word suddenly came to his mind.

What should I do? Now I'm afraid I can't escape. Is the fish dead and the net broken?

Just when the middle-aged man was in a daze, several family leaders behind him saw the government coming and threw their weapons on the ground and bent down to surrender. Those people under the dragon group came forward to control the family members, and then surrounded the middle-aged man who was still holding a weapon in his hand.

"Zhang Zengxuan, originally from Luoyang Yanshi. Both of his parents died. He is 41 years old this year, with three sons and five daughters. Qifang's concubine, then an adjutant of the Finance Bureau of Luoyang City, did not miss the grace of the Marquis of Pingbei, and had an affair with the thief and betrayed the news. Be willing to be a traitor, which is extremely hateful and outrageous. The dragon team and the investigation department were sent to arrest him. All the relevant personnel in the hospital were released from education, followed by fixed-term detention for reform. The important person beheaded and showed it to the public. His wife and children are all accomplices, and they are the head of the shack.

Zhang Zengxuan's face was decadently low, and the blade in his hand had already fallen to the ground. The soldiers next to him immediately went to hold Zhang Zengxuan away from moving.

"Please, please let go of my children, they, they don't know anything, really don't know anything, let them go!"

Meng Yu frowned, but did not say let go of these two words, but said, "Take it away!"

Zhang Zengxuan's face suddenly seemed to be more than ten years old. He knew that not only was he going to die, but his wife and children would not be spared. Throughout the ages, it has been a great crime to kill the nine ethnic groups. Although it is not a conspiracy now, its practical significance is almost the same as that conspiracy, but it is not just in name.

After this Zengxuan was taken away. Meng Yu led dozens of people to the next place in a hurry to carry out another arrest. Meng Yu has a list in his hand. The people on the list are the subject of arrest, but those who are about to be arrested do not know that they have been blacklisted. Some people are even leisurely drinking tea at home at this time.

"Let's go to the East City."

More than 20 people were arrested this time. There were not only officials, but also businessmen, squires and civilians, etc., and some of them were arrested by traitors suspected of the enemy. It can be said that the whole Luoyang City was in the panic of arrest at this time, but those who had not done anything to communicate with the enemy were not afraid. Meng Yu did not dare to arrest people at will. He must have evidence before he can be arrested.

Among the arrested officials, there are basically no senior officials. They are all grassroots personnel, because those senior officials have the same interests as Liu Xia. If Liu Xia is gone, they will not have any rights. Their rights are given to them by Liu Xia. Liu Xia is dead and Luoyang City is broken, and they should also face a break. The leader, even if you can't die, you don't have any rights.

Meng Yu said as he walked, "Notify Yanshicheng's arresting envoy, Meng Jin's arresting envoy, and Yiyang's arresting envoy to let them carry out arrest. Don't let go of one. If you dare to be be beheaded for personal gain. Let's go on!"

"Yes!"

The dragon group is a secret organization. The dragon group is only aimed at attacking in the army, and ordinary people don't know it. Therefore, the name of this order is the Pingbei Houfu Investigation Office.

Originally, the task of arresting officials should have been carried out by Shouhu from the Investigation Department, but after all, Shouhu is the captain of Liu Xia's Guards. He also has another responsibility to protect Liu Xia's safety, so he followed Liu Xia to the Hu Prison Pass this time, so the arrest task in Luoyang City was entrusted to Meng Yu.

For almost a long time, the arrest bureaus of various counties around Luoyang City have received arrest orders issued in the name of the Investigation Department. Although the Investigation Department does not directly have jurisdiction over the investigation bureau, the investigation office has a special status, and now it is a special period, which can naturally command the investigation bureaus of each county. And there is no need for the authorization of Zhang Wenyuan, the chief of the investigation department, because at this time, there is no Liu Xia in the Luoyang area, which is the highest status of the investigation department.

"Zhang Fenwei? Why did the people in the investigation department ask me to arrest him? Zhang Zan, the commander of Yanshicheng Investigation Bureau, frowned and said to himself. Zhang Zan is a retired officer who lacks three fingers. He used to be the captain of the first battalion and the second battalion of the Hu Ben Regiment, but due to his injury, he fell down as an investigation officer and was awarded the title of investigation.

This Fenwei is a big businessman in Yanshi City. Previously, due to Liu Xia's support for commercial development, many businessmen in the surrounding areas of Luoyang have surged up. As a result, many people got some outsourcing tasks of military factories, so they became rich overnight. This Fenwei is also one of them. He is a first-class businessman in Yanshi City. He is very close to the county magistrate and some officials of Yanshi City. Yesterday, Zhang Fenwei also drank with Zhang Zan. Because both of their surnames are Zhang, they are very close to each other.

Who knew that only one day had passed, the news that he was asked to arrest Zhang Fenwei.

"The person from the investigation office said that if the arresting officer deliberately released the arrested person, he would be beheaded. If you can't catch it, you will have a big demerit or even be dismissed, and all the previous achievements will be zero. I won't enjoy all kinds of welfare benefits in the future.

Zhang Zan couldn't understand what Zhang Fenwei had done, which made the people of the investigation department pay so much attention to it, and even punished him so seriously. However, for his own future, Zhang Zan also had to go to catch Zhang Fenwei.

"I'm sorry, alas. Since the people in the investigation department have found you, you must have something to do with the enemy. If you are not a good businessman, why do you have a relationship with the Qing army? Zhang Zan said angrily.

"Come on! Gather all the free search personnel together, and let's catch people.

At this time, there were no guards in Yanshi City, because the guards were transferred to the Hulao Pass to defend the door. There are only more than 100 people in Yanshi City.

"Yes!"

With an order, these agents who were originally soldiers quickly gathered together, still as soldiers and waited for Zhang Zan's order.

"Go! Go to Zhang Fenwei's home and don't let one of them go!"

The night was getting dark, and more than 50 agents rushed to the streets of Yanshicheng. Nowadays, there are not many people on the street, because there is a curfew at night. This is Liu Xia's order that every city must impose a curfew at night before the Qing army attacked.

However, there are still some people who are still cleaning up the stalls and have not gone home.

In Yanshicheng, it is rare to see dozens of agents dispatched together, and generally only a dozen people at most. The abnormality of the inspectors made the people talk about it.

"What are you doing! Could it be that the enemy came? Do you want to go to the defense?"

"What are you talking about? The enemy is still outside the Tiger Prison. How can he fight Yanshi? I think there was a big accident in the city that asked them to rush there.

"I think so, but I don't know what happened."

"Don't talk about it. Let's break up. After a while, it will be dark. You are not allowed to go out at night. Don't be caught and sent to prison by the patrols before you go back."

"Around it, surround it all. You can't let go of a person." Zhang Zan kept saying that he knew that this arrest was linked to his official career and even his life, and he did not dare to neglect it.

The arrival of dozens of investigation made the maids and servants in Zhang Fenwei's yard exclaim. They know that their master has a good relationship with many senior officials in Yanshi City. How can there be a search for him? As soon as the servants wanted to teach the first investigation, they suddenly saw Zhang Zan, who had entered the door, and closed their mouths. Since Zhang Zan personally led the team, there was nothing to say.

Zhang Fenwei is a middle-aged man in his thirties. He slowly came out of the house. His face was very calm, and he couldn't see a trace of fear.

"Why did the adult come to the small house with so many people in the middle of the night?"

Zhang Zan did not hide it and said, "It's not that I, Zhang Zan, have to arrest you, but that I have an order to arrest you. Otherwise, my little brother's head will not be guaranteed! I have no choice but to catch my brother.

Zhang Fenwei frowned, and then he figured out why he was arrested. So he said, "It must be that thing. The arresting envoy can arrest me. For the sake of our friendship, can you let my family go?

Looking at Zhang Fenwei's expression full of prayer, Zhang Zan, a very affectionate person, wanted to say yes, put it over, and then left alone with Zhang Fenwei. But he can't, because he also has wives and children in his family. If he doesn't arrest everyone in Zhang Fenwei's family, he will be in danger. Even if he is very emotional, he still can't do this thing that he delinies the law and spends his life with his family.

Looking at Zhang Zan's embarrassed expression, Zhang Fenwei sighed bitterly and said, "In this case, the commander can catch it, but I did everything, and it has nothing to do with them. Please keep them alive!" After saying that, Zhang Fenwei's legs fell to the ground.

Zhang Zan hurriedly went up and said, "I can't take care of these things. I'm just a small investigation. This order is not issued by the investigation. It was sent by the investigation office. If it is an order from the investigation, the younger brother can make a way, but this investigation office, alas, there is really nothing I can do.

After saying that, Zhang Zan no longer looked at Zhang Fenwei and continued to arrest people.
