Chapter 615 Killing the Monkey and Shocking the Chicken
The four hundred elite soldiers of the anti-Japanese army were even enough to occupy the governor's office in Fujian.
Controlling the two mansions was naturally not a problem. In fact, the anti-Japanese army officers and soldiers took control of the situation almost immediately after arriving at the two mansions.
In order to complete the errands assigned by Shen Yi, Ling Su personally went to take command outside the Feng family's mansion. After the anti-Japanese army surrounded the Feng family, General Ling clasped his hands behind his back and said in a deep voice: "Remember, blockade everyone. Exit, prohibit anyone from entering or exiting, release one person, and engage in military law!"
The anti-Japanese army had strict military discipline.
In fact, the reason why the anti-Japanese army was able to achieve such great success was that rewards and punishments should be clearly defined. As long as you achieve military merit, you will not be short of rewards, but if you make mistakes, you will not be short of punishment.
Therefore, after hearing Ling Su's words, a hundred households present immediately patted their chests and smiled at Ling Su: "Don't worry, Ling Shuai, when we brothers surrounded the Japanese pirates, none of them could run away. If you surround a house, not even a fly can escape."
"but…"
The man named Liu smiled and asked: "Ling Shuai, what mistake did these two families make that allowed Mr. Shen to surround them directly without going through the local government?"
"Tongwa."
Ling Su snorted: "Local government office? When Envoy Li was here last year, he ransacked homes all the way from Taizhou Prefecture to Guangzhou Prefecture. When did he pass by the local government office?"
As he said that, he glanced at Liu Baihu and said in a low voice: "Okay, you go down and inspect it. Don't make any mistakes. After you have no problem here, I will go to the other house to take a look and clean up the house." Finish the errands assigned to you."
Just as Liu Baihu responded, he heard a loud noise coming from the gate of Feng's house. He frowned and was about to rush over, when Ling Su on the side was already striding towards the gate of Feng's house.
I saw that the door of Feng's house had been completely opened, and standing inside the door was a middle-aged man in his forties with an upright face.
Behind the middle-aged man, there were several young people standing.
The middle-aged man glared at the anti-Japanese troops who had completely surrounded the Feng family. He was trembling with anger and said angrily: "All the money that should be given has been collected for you! A total of two hundred thousand taels of cash, we have dozens of people in Fuzhou. My family, one tael of silver and one tael of silver were scraped together for you guys!"
"The money has been sent to your imperial envoy!"
The middle-aged man was furious and gritted his teeth: "What else do you want?! Do you have to force people to death?"
"We must kill dozens of members of our Feng family!"
Hearing this, Ling Su frowned.
He could tell that the middle-aged man was shouting on purpose.
And these words were probably not meant for the anti-Japanese soldiers, but for the nearby residents, so that these residents could spread public opinion for him.
Moreover, although there were not many truths in what he said, this "rumor" was reasonable and reasonable. Once spread, the Anti-Japanese Army would not be able to explain it clearly.
General Ling clasped his hands on his chest, walked out from the anti-Japanese army, walked up to the middle-aged man, and gave him a cold look.
"No matter who you are, just talk nonsense again."
Ling Su's face was expressionless: "You can't talk anymore."
"This general can assure you."
The middle-aged man was obviously startled by Ling Su's words, but he still mustered up the courage to look at Ling Su and said angrily: "General, dare you ask me what mistake the Feng family made to allow so many
Soldiers, surrounded my house completely?"
"Tongwa."
Ling Su said these two words coldly.
He looked at the middle-aged man with an expressionless expression: "Do you need me, general, to show you the Feng family letters collected from the Japanese pirates?"
The middle-aged man obviously felt guilty.
However, he still plucked up the courage and retorted: "If you say hello to the Japanese pirates, it will be considered as communicating with the Japanese pirates. Wouldn't the general want to arrest all us Fuzhou nobles?"
"How many people are arrested and how they are arrested is our responsibility to resist the Japanese army and has nothing to do with you."
Ling Su said coldly: "Quickly retreat to the courtyard and wait for the imperial envoy to comment. If you continue to make noise here, be careful that you won't be able to talk in the future."
The middle-aged man still refused to give up and wanted to say something else. Ling Su had no expression on his face and said in a cold voice: "Do you need me to use a rope, general?"
After hearing these words, the middle-aged man gave up completely. He turned his head away with a guilty conscience. After being silent for a while, he slightly lowered his head to Ling Su: "General, I want to meet Imperial Commissioner Shen..."
"I have something to report to Shen Qin..."
"late."
Ling Su said with a cold face: "Go back and wait for our imperial envoy to summon you."
The middle-aged man gritted his teeth and was about to say something, when he saw Ling Weishuai glare at him fiercely.
"Also, the rumors you just spread here will be reported to the Imperial Envoy truthfully and handed over to the Imperial Envoy to deal with you."
"We, Commissioner Shen..."
Ling Su gave the middle-aged man a cold look: "When did I get your two hundred thousand taels of silver?"
Shen Yi did not take this money.
But the Fuzhou gentry did come together.
The middle-aged man shrank his head and stopped talking.
Ling Su glared at him, then turned to look at Liu Baihu, and said in a deep voice: "Watch them, if anyone talks nonsense, go in and tie them up, and give them a whip!"
Liu Baihu bowed his head respectfully.
"I obey my orders!"
At the same time, the scene of the Tan family on the other side was similar to that of the Feng family.
Both families were successfully and completely controlled by the anti-Japanese army.
While controlling the two families, the anti-Japanese army officers and soldiers from the other two hundred-house battalions, according to Shen Yi's instructions, notified these Fuzhou nobles from door to door, warned them, and prohibited them from leaving Fuzhou City even half a step.
Two big families in Fuzhou were controlled by the anti-Japanese army, and other big families were also warned by the anti-Japanese army and banned from leaving the city.
All this happened in just one hour.
In this short period of one hour, almost all the families in Fuzhou began to panic without exception.
Many people began to try every possible means to use all their available connections, trying to temporarily leave Fuzhou to "shelter". After asking around, they found out that all the city gates in Fuzhou were manned by anti-Japanese troops.
Moreover, the anti-Japanese army had already warned them in advance that escaping at this time would be tantamount to treason with the Japanese.
The families in these places contacted all the big people they could contact as quickly as possible, but these big people who used to make waves in Fujian have now lost their role without exception.
Because the current Fuzhou City has almost been taken over by the anti-Japanese army.
But these local officials couldn't reach Shen Yi.
However, these local officials were not without action. After the anti-Japanese army surrounded Feng Tan's family, in less than half an hour, Du Zhong, the prefect of Fuzhou, found Shen Yi's residence in Fuzhou and asked to see Shen Yi immediately. Be firm.
Because the Fuzhou magistrate was not low in rank or status, and Shen Yi would have to meet people from these local officials sooner or later, so no one stopped him, and Jiang Sheng quickly brought him in.
At this time, Magistrate Du was furious.
After seeing Shen Yi in the living room, he suppressed his anger, cupped his hands to Shen Yi, and quickly called "Imperial Commissioner Shen". Then, without waiting for Shen Yi's reply, he looked up at Shen Yi and asked, "Imperial Commissioner Shen, I am The government heard that a large number of people fighting against the Japanese army entered the city, and not only did they intimidate the people in the city..."
He looked at Shen Yi and said angrily: "What exactly are the anti-Japanese troops going to do?"
Du Fuzun is very smart.
He deliberately said these words to avoid the Feng Tan family who were already surrounded.
Avoid the focus of contradictions.
Mr. Shen is calm and gentle.
"Didn't I already tell you that I want to investigate the Japanese case in Fuzhou?"
"Now, the case has made great progress."
Mr. Shen lowered his head and took a sip of tea, his face calm.
"So, the anti-Japanese army is ready to take people."
Du Fuzun suppressed his anger and looked at Shen Yi: "Even if the anti-Japanese army wants to investigate the case, they should say hello to the government office in advance. Why is it like this now, causing panic in the city."
"On the way Du came here just now, he heard people talking on the street!"
Eucommia ulmoides looked at Shen Yi and said in a deep voice: "The common people said that they didn't know and thought that the anti-Japanese army had captured Fuzhou City!"
Shen Yi smiled lightly and did not answer.
He knew that this guy probably made up this sentence himself.
"Say hello to the government office in advance, it may not be easy to arrest the person."
Mr. Shen took another sip of tea with a warm smile.
"But no matter what, our anti-Japanese army is about to find out the result of this Japanese communication case. It doesn't matter whether the Fuzhou government office cooperates or causes trouble."
Shen Yi glanced at Du Zhong and said calmly: "If Magistrate Du feels that what I am doing is not in compliance with the rules."
"You can submit a letter to me."
"Du will participate."
Magistrate Du felt sulky and gritted his teeth and said, "It's not just Du. If the trouble continues like this, I'm afraid all the officials in Fujian will submit a letter to the imperial envoy!"
"Then each of you can take one copy."
Mr. Shen is not afraid at all.
He touched the sparse beard on his chin and glanced lightly at Eucommia ulmoides.
"Prefect Du, I still have things to do here. If you are okay..."
"You can go back and write my memorial."
Magistrate Du stood up angrily and walked away.
Shen Yi was still drinking tea leisurely without even looking at him.
After Eucommia ulmoides left, Mr. Shen took a sip of tea and exhaled a mouthful of snow-white hot breath.
