On July 11, 2012, after a review of the death penalty by the Supreme People's Court, the number one gang boss in Henan, who had been in power for 11 years, was executed by lethal injection under the watchful eyes of everyone.
As soon as the news came out, the people in Pingdingshan clapped their hands and applauded with gongs and drums all the way to the sky. So what exactly did he do to make the people around him hate him so much?
In the 1990s, there was an "underground mayor" in Pingdingshan, Henan. When his name was mentioned, the surrounding people's expressions changed. Relying on his huge power, he became king and hegemon in Pingdingshan, and he occupied Pingdingshan. For more than ten years, no one dared to arrest him.
He is lawless and commits all kinds of evil. In the past ten years, he has carried out many illegal criminal activities such as killing with guns, extortion, gatherings to fight, and illegal detention. Anyone who provokes him will be punished by him and his " underground." "He was sent to the police force " to retaliate so fiercely that the case file brought by the prosecutor was more than one meter thick. He was the "underground king" Zhao Mingzhang of Henan.
Why on earth can he be so rampant? How did he get to where he is today step by step?
Zhao Mingzhang was born in Pingdingshan, Henan in 1975. The Zhao family is a well-known family in the local area. Zhao Mingzhang's parents are both civil servants, and many of his relatives also work in the local judicial units.
Zhao Mingzhang, who grew up in this environment, should have taken a righteous path, but who would have thought that in the near future he would become a human devil who does all evil.
Zhao Mingzhang is the youngest in the family. He has five older brothers. His brothers and parents dote on Zhao Mingzhang, but he has been used to the life of a "prince" since he was a child, which makes Zhao Mingzhang very rebellious and domineering.
Since elementary school, Zhao Mingzhang has often bullied his classmates, and he is a complete bully in the class. Even the teacher can't discipline him. Every time he gets into trouble, his family can help him deal with it.
As a result, Zhao Mingzhang became more and more out of control. Even before he graduated from elementary school, he began to have contact with gangsters in society.
After entering junior high school, Zhao Mingzhang became more closely connected with idle people in society. He often did not go to school and hung out with gangsters all day long.
After barely finishing junior high school, Zhao Mingzhang was completely unwilling to go to school. His parents didn't have time to discipline him, so he hung out with his friends. This kind of life continued until he reached adulthood.
After Zhao Mingzhang grew up, his parents were unwilling to let him degenerate like this, so they used their connections to get him an easy and decent job.
At first, Zhao Mingzhang was quite honest, but once the freshness wore off, he couldn't stay any longer. Such boring office life made him feel very bored, so it didn't take long for Zhao Mingzhang to leave his post without consulting his parents. After
came out, Zhao Mingzhang met a lot of gangsters. In order to integrate into their circle, Zhao Mingzhang tried his best. Not only did he spend a lot of money, but every time there was a fight, Zhao Mingzhang was always at the forefront.
Coupled with the huge influence of his family, Zhao Mingzhang often used his connections to help these gangsters get out of trouble. Relying on these, Zhao Mingzhang successfully became "Brother Zhao" in the mouth of the gangsters.
Zhao Mingzhang used all the pocket money given by his family to drink and eat with the gangsters. However, as the gangster team grew stronger, Zhao Mingzhang's little pocket money seemed a bit cramped, so he began to think about ways to make money.
After searching for a while, Zhao Mingzhang found a building materials market that had just been built. He led his team of gangsters to collect protection fees from door to door. Merchants are miserable.
In desperation, everyone could only spend money to eliminate the disaster and obediently hand over the protection money. In this way, relying on the protection money collected, Zhao Mingzhang tasted the sweetness, and many gangsters came to seek refuge with him.
As the gang grew bigger, Zhao Mingzhang's appetite grew bigger and bigger. He began to learn the tricks of gangsters and gangsters. By constantly annexing other gangs, Zhao Mingzhang monopolized many local industries and became a slightly famous gangster. Boss.
In 1998, Zhao Mingzhang, who was dissatisfied with the status quo, fell in love with the material delivery business at a construction site. However, this project happened to be controlled by another gang. Zhao Mingzhang ordered Jia Shaofeng and others to go to the construction site with sticks and guns to provoke him. How could the other party tolerate it? Because of this, a fight broke out between dozens of people on both sides.
During the fight, Zhao Mingzhang's men shot the opponent's boss in the right thigh. The opponent's boss fainted on the spot. The younger brother was frightened and proposed a temporary truce, but Zhao Mingzhang wanted to kill them.
His men fired again, hitting the opponent's boss in the left thigh, causing the opponent's boss's arteries in both legs to rupture, and he died on the spot.
In the end, Zhao Mingzhang got the right to deliver materials to the project as he wished. This case also caused quite a stir in the local area. However, just when everyone thought that Zhao Mingzhang would be severely punished, he only went in and stayed for a few days symbolically. He continued to be at large and did not go to jail for committing crimes. From then on, the name "Zhao Mingzhang" became completely popular in the local area.
Zhao Mingzhang became prosperous, and his ambitions grew bigger and bigger. In just one year, he monopolized nearly half of the material delivery business at the local construction site through illegal means, and he became the number one gangster in Pingdingshan. , known as the "underground mayor".
At this time, he became more and more arrogant and acted more and more arrogantly. He even dared to violently beat ordinary citizens in broad daylight.
In 2000, Zhao Mingzhang had a friction with Guo while dining in a restaurant. In anger, Zhao Mingzhang called a group of boys and injured Guo. However, Guo was not someone to be trifled with. He directly filed a lawsuit against Zhao Mingzhang in court. .
He dared to beat someone in broad daylight. This incident aroused public outrage in the local area. Due to the pressure of public opinion, Zhao Mingzhang's relationship became difficult, so on July 20, 2001, Zhao Mingzhang was sentenced to one year for picking quarrels and provoking trouble. Eight months.
thought that this lesson would help him change his ways, but who knew that Zhao Mingzhang not only did not restrain himself, but also formed a gang in prison, met many notorious desperadoes in prison, and learned more about crimes These people later became the key members of his criminal gang. After
was released from prison, Zhao Mingzhang used various means to get these people out, and intensified his efforts on the original basis, including opening casinos, loan sharking and other criminal activities. The most famous one was Ziyun Academy Casino.
Casino business is extremely prosperous. Hundreds of people gamble here every day. Whenever someone loses money, Zhao Mingzhang will let his men make loan sharks in the casino. In this way, Zhao Mingzhang will make at least 200,000 yuan in profit at the end of the day. Even the person standing guard at the door , the daily salary is 100 yuan.
Relying on these illegal methods, Zhao Mingzhang can be said to be a powerful influence in the local area. As long as Zhao Mingzhang's name is mentioned, there will be no injustice.
Zhao Mingzhang's power reached its peak at this time. He also called his gang the "underground police force" and called himself "leader". As soon as the locals heard the name "leader", they knew he was referring to "Zhao Mingzhang", as long as someone makes Zhao Mingzhang unhappy, his "underground police team" will quickly retaliate.
Between 2003 and 2006, Zhao Mingzhang beat up almost all the local gangs. His methods were extremely cruel. No one within hundreds of miles could compete with him.
Seeing that Zhao Mingzhang was going smoothly, nothing seemed to be able to stop his development, until Ye Yanwei's appearance broke it all.
Ye Yanwei is also a well-known figure in the local area. In order to consolidate his power, Zhao Mingzhang tried to win over Ye Yanwei many times, but was rejected. Zhao Mingzhang became very dissatisfied with Ye Yanwei.
One day, Ye Yanwei's classmate accidentally collided with Zhao Mingzhang's younger brother. The two argued and started fighting. Zhang Mingzhang was very angry when he found out, so he called someone to the door of the traffic police brigade and injured Ye Yanwei's classmate with a steel pipe. After Ye Yanwei heard the news He was also very angry, and the two completely fell out with each other.
Zhao Mingzhang saw that he failed to win over Ye Yanwei, and now he has made a grudge. If Ye Yanwei is not eliminated, there will definitely be hidden dangers. So on February 16, 2007, in a coffee shop, four of Zhao Mingzhang's men held machetes and attacked him. Ye Yanwei, who was paying the bill, cut him off. The scene was extremely bloody, and the people around him were frightened.
Ye Yanwei was taken to the hospital in a bloody state, where he was diagnosed as having a severe fifth-level disability. He thought it would be settled with a casual greeting as usual, but who knew that this time Zhao Mingzhang had offended someone he shouldn't have.
Not only is the Ye family powerful, but the Ye family has a tough attitude and must seek justice. Faced with the special relationship between the Ye family, Zhao Mingzhang can no longer use any tricks.
On December 2, 2008, Zhao Mingzhang was sentenced to to 20 years in prison. Other members of the organization were sentenced to life imprisonment to 7 months in prison.
On June 24, 2009, Zhao Mingzhang was commuted to the death penalty due to missed charges. Finally, on July 11, 2012, the once powerful "underground mayor" was executed by lethal injection.
Justice may be late, but it will never be absent. This heinous devil finally got the punishment he deserved.
