Before the founding of the People's Republic of China, there was a major case of "playing the way for heaven" knights in the north that shocked the new government.
On August 15, 1945, Japan announced its surrender, but the Japanese and puppet troops in Zhangjiakou city refused to surrender. With the help of the Soviet Union, on August 20, several regiments of the Eighth Route Army launched an attack on Zhangjiakou City.
days later, the People's Liberation Army liberated Zhangjiakou, and then the Zhangjiakou People's Government also established in the shortest time.
In the winter of this year, Hao Mengqing, the accountant of the pawnshop in Zhongyuancheng, Zhangjiakou City, put on the board and went to the warehouse to count it. After nothing unusual, he blew the light and prepared to go to bed.
Hao Mengqing usually watches in the shop. In order to prevent the owner's goods from being stolen, Hao Mengqing's feeling is usually very shallow.
That night, Hao Mengqing had just lying down, and his mind was still holding today's account. When he was half dreaming and half awake, he heard a rumbling voice coming from the warehouse.
It's cold, and people don't want to get up when they lie down. In a daze, Hao Mengqing subconsciously thought it was a rat. After a while, he suddenly remembered that the chance of rat this day was not high.
After putting on the clothes, Hao Mengqing lit a candle, took a stick in his hand and walked towards the warehouse.
The closer to the warehouse, the more obvious the sound. Hao Mengqing weighed it and felt that it was a thief.
Now the Eighth Route Army guards the whole city. These days, they have been in charge of the people and resolve troubles. At this critical moment, the thief is so confident, which means that the other party must have something to rely on.
Hao Mengqing thought for a long time before gritting her teeth and stomping her feet, shouting: "Who?"
The movement in the room became obviously a little louder, and the thief was obviously a little guilty, and his movements sounded faster. In the end, he only heard two sounds of opening and closing the window, and the room completely calmed down.
Hao Mengqing waited for a while before he stretched out the wooden stick and poked open the door of the warehouse. The mess that caught his eyes made Hao Mengqing shocked. He didn't care about the clothes falling on the ground, and ran and shouted, "There's a thief!"
Early the next morning, Liu Xianfeng, who had just started working, was almost annoyed by Yuancheng's pawnshop owner and Hao Mengqing.
Last night, Yuancheng pawnshop did leave, and lost 60,000 yuan in cash, 29 pieces of jewelry and antiques, and more than 400 taels of silver 4. But Liu Xianfeng really doesn't want to care about this matter.
It is said that thieves appeared in the city, and their Public Security Bureau was unavoidable and should have searched for the thieves as soon as possible. However, this stolen store is too special. Not only the police under his command are unwilling to handle it, but the director also does not want to handle it.
Actually, it is not Liu Xianfeng's fault for thinking this way. The pawnshop is really special. People have listed it as the "four major areas of harming people" with casinos, brothels, and opium dens. The latter three are pornographic, gambling, and drugs, while pawnshops are worse than those of the three.
People often say that "it is easy to add icing on the cake, but it is difficult to provide charcoal in time." This is to express the feeling that people are unresponsive in times of crisis, and it is called unsatisfactory in the ground. But there is a place that can solve the urgent problem, and this is pawnshop.
In theory, it is said that people are in trouble as difficult as they are. Pawnshops help others and save others from difficulties should be a business that accumulates merits, but how can it become a place to harm people?
The reason lies in helping others.
pawn shop is a conscientious business. After taking someone’s things, you put them here and I’ll give you money to help you. You can redeem or not, but I have the final say on how much your things are worth.
What is even more unethical is that no matter how good your pawn shop is or whether it can be used, I have the final say whether your stuff is good or bad.
Of course, you can choose to be improper, but if your thing is good, the pawnshop's guy will do some tricks that others cannot see. These tricks will not affect your use of this thing, But if you take this thing to another pawnshop, an expert will understand that this is an object that an expert has seen at a glance.
Everyone has a career, and the prices are very similar. When they find that they have little troubles, the pawn shop guys will understand it and press down the price hard.
The goods in the pawn shop are actually circulated with each other. The pawn shop practitioners are familiar with each other. Everyone knows who the item finally falls into. Even if the second one is charged at a lower price, they will ask in the circle which one is missing something for themselves and thank you.
Even if this person turns around and works as the first one, whether it is at the price of the price or the initial price, if the second one knows in the future, you can definitely find the first one to thank you.
The pawn shop is in a harmonious mood, but it really forces the poor and those in need to go to the dead.
It can be seen that ordinary soft-hearted people cannot do this. In other words, the pawnshop industry is going to be in trouble all the way, and there are no good people.
Not to mention helping others, in the eyes of the poor, what the pawnshop does is a business that is full of conscience and has no descendants.
Although the People's Government has just been established and urgently needs to establish credibility among the masses, people who are from poor backgrounds are unwilling to get involved in cases like this.
Yuancheng's pawnshop owner kept saying things to ask his grandfather for surrendering his grandmother. Hao Mengqing was beaten by the boss, slapping himself, and even kneeling for Liu Xianfeng. Liu Xianfeng was so angry that he was yelled by the pawnshop owner that he had to stop Hao Mengqing's boss and Hao Mengqing's kneeling.
When the three of them were entangled in a ball, the pawnshop's customers also came.
are all people who are good at it. They are just short of money and can still be redeemed after a while. As a result, Yuancheng's pawnshop was stolen and he suffered.
has a serious miser, and Liu Xianfeng has also gained a level of progress. In fact, in terms of reason, Liu Xianfeng has also constantly persuaded himself to investigate the case immediately. After all, such a large amount of burglary is already a very bad case. If he had been letting go, it would be easy to hurt the innocent. If he hadn't been psychologically redirected to the detour of not being able to do things for the pawnshop boss, he would have started working normally long ago.
After on-site investigation and comparison with the accounts, what the pawnshop owner said is in line with the facts.
Because the pawn shop accounts are written in a special code language, the public security also found a pawn shop account in the same city and deciphered it while isolating outsiders. Fortunately, the pawn shop owner told the truth, Otherwise, the public security investigation would be difficult for him.
At this time, the Anti-Japanese War had just ended, the people's regime was first established, and the government was in short supply of public officials. Most of the public security personnel were transferred from military soldiers. When it comes to fighting and killing enemies, the Zhangjiakou Public Security Bureau was a good player, but it was difficult for these people to detect and solve cases. In the end, it was Liu Xianfeng who hired Shi Erchang, who had been a constable in the former Qing yamen.
Shierchang not only has a bad background, but also worked as a policeman in National Government . During the Japanese and puppet regime, he also forced to do some "dog-legged" work due to livelihood. , but he is upright and has his own bottom line. If it weren't for my mother to support him, he would rather go begging than be adog-legged.
It is precisely because of this that Shi Erchang was imprisoned for resisting cooperation with the Japanese army. The residents in the city knew very well about these things and trusted Shi Erchang very much. Some people were even willing to testify for him. proved that he had never done anything that was harmful to the world during the Japanese and puppet rule.
It was someone who testified that Shi Erchang won Liu Xianfeng's trust. Not only was he appointed as the leader of the investigation team in this case, Liu Xianfeng also personally patted his shoulder and encouraged him to do his best and not let down the expectations of the people.
Shierchang was moved by the people and Liu Xianfeng, and kept swearing in his heart that the thief must be arrested and brought to justice.
Shi Erchang has no time to show his might when he takes office, and he directly expressed his thoughts.
He believes that the thief did not do anything to hurt Hao Mengqing when Hao Mengqing spoke. It can be seen that the thief's actions are just for money. He abandons many factors with low probability. The thief should sell stolen goods in the near future. Even if he does not sell stolen goods and has so much money in his hands, the thief who seeks money will not be able to help spend it.
Gold and silver are eye-catching, and there are only some clues on the side coins. The side coins were just taken by the pawn shop and used for change expenses. There are consecutive numbers in it, and the money has not been given to the customers. If a recorded consecutive number appears in the city, it must be spent by the thief.
The remaining jewelry and cultural relics are the focus of thieves selling stolen goods. There is no picture album in the pawn shop, so that customers who are active can only verbally describe the characteristics, making it easier to investigate the stolen goods.
Shi Erchang's analysis suppressed all the police present. All doubts dissipated in an instant. Without him command, everyone unconsciously performed their duties according to his analysis.
Three days passed by without realizing it. As Shi Erchang expected, the thief was very cautious. There were no suspicious figures using gold and silver in the city. However, he did not wait too long, and news came from the market that the number of coins appeared.
Shierchang hurriedly led people to the Taihang Mountain Restaurant where the incident occurred.
At this time, the Taihang Mountain Restaurant had been sealed up by the police. The surrounding people surrounded it and surrounded it three layers inside and three layers outside. Most of them were watching the fun, and some of them were covered with vegetable stains. It was thought that it was the diners who were driven out. The owner of the restaurant said nice things to the police who stood upright, and at the same time, he apologized to the excited customers.
In short, the scene was very chaotic for a while.
This situation is obvious that there has just been a conflict. In order not to alert the enemy, Shi Erchang squeezed into the crowd, spread his hands and hugged the guards while hugging the guards in the restaurant, and said loudly: "Hahahaha, boss, you are too proud of me, I just said casually, I didn't really let the clearance. It must be my little brother who is too serious, I will compensate you for him."
Shi Erchang quickly attached himself to the police's ear on the side and reminded him. Shi Erchang hurriedly blocked the owner of the restaurant and said loudly: "You are welcome? I won't be polite, don't say anything next to me! Come in, go and have a drink with me!"
is also an eye God stopped the boss' struggle and pushed the two into the restaurant. Then he turned around and said to the crowd, "I'll compensate my fellow villagers and I! Today is my birthday. Director Liu valued me and approved some funds before preparing to start a restaurant in this big restaurant. He joked with the boss and a little brother in the bureau two days ago. Unexpectedly, something big happened. I, Shi Erchang, solemnly accused everyone here. The few who were disappointed before, who were willing to treat me, should continue to come back and eat and drink, and they all count it on my account!"
yelled a few times in the crowd. Shi Erchang bowed and thanked him before stepping into the restaurant. What he didn't know was that several people in the crowd snorted coldly, cursed, "What's so arrogant," and turned away.
Shi Erchang entered the door and asked directly, "Where is the person?"
The owner of the restaurant hurriedly took him to the private room beside him. A woman dressed in a charming dress was drinking bored. As soon as Shi Erchang saw her, he understood what was going on. is probably the thief who is in love with him, and he gave the thief a "lustful" evaluation in his heart.
According to the woman, her name is Xiao Yanjun. She was originally a concubine of a division commander of the Japanese puppet army. The Japanese surrendered and her husband ran away. After she was left behind, she had no money and no other ability, so she could only do some shameful work.
Two days ago, a man who claimed to be a Shandong native named Wang Tiezhu suddenly came to the door and gave him some money, gold, silver and jewelry to serve him and his brother. The other party was very generous, so Xiao Yanjun agreed.
Although Xiao Yanjun knew that the person might have problems, she would not be unable to get along with the money. After hearing this, the policeman next to him slapped the table and scared Xiao Yanjun. He was unhappy to start a fuss, and Shi Erchang could only act as a peacemaker again.
was comforting, and Shi Erchang also took the opportunity to Xiao Yanjun to suggest that she would cooperate with the public security. Xiao Yanjun certainly did not want her wallet to be taken away. Shi Erchang could only bluff: "Then there is nothing to do, take it away, and be imprisoned!"
Xiao Yanjun was so scared that she lost her face and said tremblingly: "The Communist Party and the Communist Party are not treating prisoners with preferential treatment, are they treating the people well?"
Shi Erchang smiled and asked back: "Are you a prisoner?"
Xiao Yanjun shook his head blankly.
Shi Erchang asked again: "Do you know how to treat brothels and secret prostitutes in the liberated areas?"
Xiao Yanjun widened her eyes, hesitated, but she still shook her head.
"Take it away!" The police next to him also thought of singing a rosy and white face. He didn't care about Shi Erchang's orders, and walked up to take Xiao Yanjun away.
Xiao Yanjun collapsed directly to the ground and shouted that she was willing to cooperate.
According to Xiao Yanjun's explanation, Wang Tiezhu agreed with him to come to see her every three days, and the last time was three days ago, and he was willing to cooperate in arresting them .
Shierchang's eyes lit up. He thought that it was not in vain that much effort. He found a lesbian and bought a lesbian for Xiao Yanjun and changed into a dress that was not eye-catching. He left from the back door.
That night, Liu Xianfeng personally led a team to lead 28 policemen to ambush near Xiao Yanjun's house. At around 8 o'clock, two people, one high and one low, came in the dark. Before they reached the door, they shouted "Xiao Yanjun". When the two walked to the door, they were not the Xiao Yanjun they were thinking about, but Liu Xianfeng holding guns. The two were about to turn around, but the others also surrounded with guns.
The two were quickly taken to the bureau for interrogation, but they had a lot of trouble along the way. The big man could even break the handcuffs away, almost letting him escape.
The two of them were also uneasy in the interrogation room. They said that except for , "Grandpa will not change his name, and will not change his surname, and the name is the "Seven Heroes of Liangshan"" , they would not say anything else.
Liu Xianfeng was confused when he listened to the "Seven Heroes of Liangshan". He had read "Water Margin". When did there be Seven Heroes of Liangshan?
asked Shi Erchang only after he found out that this was a famous criminal gang in Shandong. He was indeed from Liangshan, Shandong. He did do things similar to "Rankan heroes" on weekdays: he often stole property from the people and the government under the banner of "acting for the sake of heaven". It is said that there are seven people in total, each with unique skills, so they are called the "Seven Heroes of Liangshan".
Liu Xianfeng listened to Shi Erchang's explanation and scoffed at the so-called "Seven Heroes of Liangshan".
The little man was dissatisfied and shouted, "What are you laughing at by dog officer?" Liu Xianfeng first laughed and said nothing. After a while, he scolded: "Steal means stealing. He stole other people's things and spent his own money. You still have the nerve to call him "hero", which is ridiculous!"
The little man was dissatisfied and cursed the "dog officer" back and forth. Liu Xianfeng knew that this person was stubborn, so he asked someone to take him.
The big man didn't say anything at first, but after the little man took it away, his momentum became a little weaker and he was willing to say something. After interrogating the big man, Liu Xianfeng understood why these people came to Zhangjiakou.
It turned out that these people heard that Zhangjiakou had established a people's government and thought they could change to a "just" place to "make a chivalrous and righteous", but they did not expect that Zhangjiakou's attack on the wild bandits was beyond imagination.
Seven people felt that Zhangjiakou’s “shymn style” was not strong, and they discussed a big case, to give the people’s government a warning; and to repeat Yanzhao . In addition to explaining their origin and crime process, no matter what means the Public Security Bureau uses, neither of them cooperates with .
After discussion in the bureau, it was believed that the two of them had a huge number of steals and had extremely bad social impact. In addition, they deliberately undermined the new people's regime and had a bad attitude of admitting guilt. should be punished with multiple crimes and severe punishment. Finally, they decided to execute the two immediately to serve as a warning to others.
Two of the seven heroes of Liangshan were arrested, and the news of the shooting was released soon, and the people applauded.
But the other five people who were hiding in the crowd of Liangshan's seven heroes were so gloomy that water drips out. When the five people returned, they decided to use old methods to force the government to release people.
That night, a store opened by the Military Region Logistics Department was stolen.
Although there were soldiers guarding the scene with live ammunition, several people took a wild cat to the roof while the night was dark and windy. They first put the wild cat to confuse the public, and then entered the store from the roof and stole 120,000 yuan and 17 sweater materials.
Seeing that the Public Security Bureau did not respond, the five people stole 20 bags of flour and 10 pieces of cloth from the government warehouse. In order to attract attention, also left on the wall "I have borrowed several flour cloths now. Whether it is returned depends on the friendship - the message of robbery" .
Liu Xianfeng knows what "friendship" means, but he is not ready to bow his head.
These people are capable, but they are unrestrained in doing things. If they are willing to let go, they will cause harm. Moreover, he did not believe that the "righteous thief" who kept secret prostitutes was also "thieves". What kind of "righteousness" stolen is "righteousness".
Another three days ago, Liu Xianfeng went home and was about to go to bed, but heard a slight sound of landing in the yard.
He quickly lay on the window to observe, and indeed saw two figures sneaking. Before he could make a sound, he saw them stepping on the wall and gently climbing onto the roof. After a while, the two figures hooked their feet on the eaves and turned around to observe inside the house.
Liu Xianfeng silently loaded his pistol and was about to fire when a bag fell off one of them, which woke up the dog in the yard.
Amid the dog's barking, the two quickly flipped back to the roof and ran away on the tiles.
Liu Xianfeng chased out and fired a few shots, but failed to hit the thief.
Afterwards, Liu Xianfeng took the cloth bag to the Public Security Bureau. After Xiao Yanjun identified it, it was confirmed that this was Liu Jiefu's "treasure bag" among the Seven Heroes.
The boldness and arrogance of the seven heroes of Liangshan exceeded everyone's imagination. While everyone was having a meeting to study how to pull out a few people, the public security guards on duty outside brought shocking news: the guns of the Minister of Social Affairs of the Jin-Cha-Hebei Province and the guards were taken away from the crowd.
Such a arrogant provocation angered everyone present. In the end, , including Liu Xianfeng, decided to go out to patrol the streets. It was this decision that opened a breakthrough for the case.
One night later, the police rescued a drunk man at the train station while patrolling. After the man woke up, he knelt down on his knees for his life-saving grace, and said that he wanted to repay his kindness with intelligence .
According to this person, he was a gangster from Zhangjiakou, that is, the robbers in the underground of Zhangjiakou. He got drunk that day and the seven heroes of Liangshan asked him to go to a banquet to help him sit down and negotiate with the police.
According to him, they left notes as the rules in the past, hoping that the people on the official side would give them face and sit down to chat, but they didn't expect that the new government would not give in at all. Later, they went to Liu Xianfeng's house to submit a post. Unexpectedly, they failed and finally could only find him.
Now he has received the favor of the new government and has also seen some changes in the Eighth Route Army entering the city. Now he only plans to wash his hands and be a peaceful and prosperous person during the Taiping period. is precisely because of this that he is willing to cooperate with all the actions of the new government.
With the cooperation of the people on the side, the case became much simpler. Shi Erchang suggested that the people on the side come forward and invite the five heroes of Liangshan to the banquet and give them a banquet out of the Hongmen Banquet.
The Five Heroes of Liangshan were invited by the people on the spot, and he was undoubtedly the one who went to the designated location in the city with a swagger.
Wait until a few people sat down, the person sitting down proposed to surrender, but the five people cursed when they heard this.
Sitting people saw this, and sighed in their hearts that "it's hard to persuade the damn thing." They silently withdrew from the house and put the police in.
Seeing that this was the case, the five heroes of Liangshan were not willing to be outdone. They all showed their skills, threw darts , went up to the beam, and fought with several battle-hardened police officers in the room. Although some of the five heroes fired fire, they all had no experience and fired empty guns, and finally they were defeated.
Although someone was injured during the arrest, fortunately, the Five Heroes were not good at shooting and no one died.
The arrested five heroes cursed at the people in the square, saying "betrayal" and other words. The boss even smiled coldly and said that he and others were just fighting Qiufeng in Zhangjiakou, and they also greeted the people in the square, and they abide by the morality of the world. Unexpectedly, the new government was even more cruel than the old government, and they were not moral, and they were killed.
Liu Xianfeng and others were all disdainful of this. Their "morality" can only be passed through in troubled times. There is no undercurrent of ghosts and monsters hiding in the new order.
The five heroes were arrested. A few days later, the seven heroes were publicly sentenced to the same crime and publicly executed in full view of the public.
