This is a manifestation of Jia Liu's progress and the sublimation of his thoughts.
When he was just a junior clerk, he could regard the law as nothing, but now that he is a senior cadre of the Qing Dynasty and has great influence in the Provisional Military Government, how can he trample the laws of the Qing Dynasty at will?
Doesn't that mean you are against yourself?
Therefore, Jia Liu has repeatedly emphasized the importance of governing the country according to laws to his subordinates recently, and at the same time said that he must also take the lead in observing disciplines.
No matter who commits something, they should be punished by the "Qing Law" and cannot be punished by lynching.
If this continues, something big will happen to the Qing Dynasty.
The evidence of Cai Xin, Minister of the Han Dynasty in the Ministry of War, colluding with the reactionaries to conspire to overthrow the Qing Dynasty is irrefutable and conclusive.
When necessary, Jia Liu can appear in court to testify in person.
The officers and soldiers of the reconnaissance team, composed of the pro-military camp and the first battalion of the Chinese escort army, were divided into five teams. With the cooperation of the two yellow flag escort troops and the bodyguard office, they quietly surrounded the area where the accompanying minister lived.
The detective team probably carried more than a hundred arrest warrants. Except for a few that were handwritten by Jia Liu, the others were written by three important officials: Lao Yang, Lao A, and Lao Kui.
Although it is simple and looks rough, it has legal effect because the top leader of the Provisional Military Government of the Qing Dynasty, the rich man, recognized the authority of the arrest warrant.
Even if there are flaws in the procedure, we will respond to the emergency and receive special treatment in special times.
Demu personally led people to arrest Yinglian, the Minister of Punishment, and he was holding the arrest order No. 1 written by the President himself.
However, thinking of Ying Lian's kindness to him and his relationship with Shen, Jia Liu specifically told Demu not to be violent and to arrest Ying Bu Tang politely and not to treat him simply and roughly.
"Sir, you are suspected of endangering the Qing Dynasty and conspiring to assassinate the emperor. I have been ordered to arrest you. Please cooperate and do not try to resist!"
Demu did a good job and led the team to the outside of the tent where Ying Lian lived. First, he called softly twice outside and gave the Ying Lao Department Hall time to react before leading the team inside to present the arrest warrant.
"Arrest me?"
Ying Lian did not take off his clothes to sleep, but kept sitting in the tent. However, there was something wrong with what he expected. The soldiers who came were not the volunteers of King Qin who escorted the traitors, but the people who came to arrest him.
"Did Jia Jiashikai send you here?"
Ying Lian also knew what he was asking. Wasn't the person in front of him the same officer who took him to see Jia Shikai in Dingjiapu Town last night?
The facts no longer need to be analyzed by Laobu Tang. It is obvious that Jia Shikai, that bastard, betrayed the emperor and failed Laobu Tang, who was so kind to him.
"I am the minister of political affairs and also in charge of the Ministry of Criminal Affairs. If an important official of the imperial court commits a crime and is arrested, there must be an imperial edict from the emperor or an official document from the Ministry of Punishment. But I don't know which yamen your arrest warrant came from?...Huh, it's Qianming.
Even if the Jinyi Weidong Factory arrests someone, he must have a driving sticker issued by the Ministry of Punishments! What does your arrest warrant mean?"
Yinglian tried to point out the illegality of arresting him, an important official in charge of justice in the Qing Dynasty, from a procedural point of view.
It is also the last stubbornness of the old man.
"My lord, my lord, I have asked you to tell you that since ancient times, those who conspired and rebelled will not have a good end. Even if my lord does not arrest your lord, others will come to arrest you. Therefore, my lord, please give me your cooperation to avoid unnecessary arrests."
If you lose your dignity, you are asking for trouble!"
After Demu finished speaking, he directly took out another piece of paper and waved it in front of Ying Lian: "This is a search warrant. I have to inspect the personal belongings of the minister. Please don't blame me!"
After saying that, he didn't give Ying Lian a chance to protest at all. He motioned to his men to hold down Ying Lian's arms and tied Ying Lian's hands with the three-foot-long rope he carried.
"you!"
Yinglian tried to resist, but after moving for a moment, he chose to remain silent and allowed his hands to be tied.
Because he knew that the matter had come to this, and there was no point in resisting.
Since Jia Shikai has chosen to join the rich, seductive and traitorous traitor, what's the use of shouting at him without military power?
Moreover, at such an old age, he is no match for these wolf-like sergeants.
Still, let's be more decent.
"Wait a moment!"
Just when Yinglian was about to be escorted out and taken to Taitung Tomb for detention, Demu suddenly stopped his men, then took a cotton-padded coat and put it on the hands of Lord Bundang.
"take away!"
"嗻!"
"Search! As long as it has words, take everything away no matter what it is!"
"嗻!"
Seven or eight detectives immediately started rummaging through the tent. All of Ying Lian's belongings were searched through, and even the court uniform was cut open with a knife to check carefully to ensure that no incriminating evidence was missed.
The first person arrested by Shi Ertai, the former commander of the Solon Battalion in Heilongjiang, was Chuoktuo, the Manchu minister of the Ministry of Industry.
Two Manchu and Han servants from Choctaw's co-workers who had also not slept were beaten up in the tent. When their hands were tied with ropes and dragged out, Choctaw behaved very violently, roaring with a lung-breaking roar: "Let go."
Let me go, let me go!... I fought for the imperial court against Mongolian bandits in Dihua, I led troops to camp in Ili, I worked in Aksu, I am an important minister of the imperial court, you can't arrest me without evidence!"
"Oh shit!"
Shi Ertai went up and slapped Chuo Shangshu twice, "I even shed blood for the Qing Dynasty outside the customs!"
"Take it down!"
"嗻!"
Several Sauron soldiers struck hard, and with a "bah" sound, Shangshu Chuo's arm was directly twisted off. The pain made Lord Shangshu say "ah", and tears filled his eyes and he wanted to cry.
Kalemi, the Minister of Industry and Commerce, was so frightened by this scene that he trembled all over and kept mumbling: "I am not rebelling, I want to see the emperor, I want to see the emperor..."
Another Han minister, Wang Yeguo, was so worried that he was sweating. He kept pleading to the Sauron soldiers who were escorting him: "I and Fuzhongtang are friends. There must be some misunderstanding. Brothers, can you allow me to meet Fuzhongtang?"
..."
This is a smart man. He knows that the emperor is useless now, and the words of the foreman, the military minister Fu Zhongtang, count.
However, Sauron's soldiers ignored them and even dragged and kicked Wang Shilang, Chuo Shangshu and others away.
Cao Xiuxian, the Minister of Rites and Han Dynasty, served as the chief master of the study room and was responsible for the education of the prince. He won the trust of the emperor, so he participated in the conspiracy to subvert the Qing Dynasty.
After being arrested, Mr. Cao immediately protested, believing that the so-called arrest warrant was illegal. He would rather die tragically on the spot than be illegally arrested.
As a result, the 68-year-old Shangshu was tied up and carried to the designated detention place by four detectives.
"What are you doing!"
"Why are you arresting me!"
"I came here to visit the mausoleum with the royal chariot. How can you say that I am plotting to rebel?"
Cui Yingjie, Minister of the Han Dynasty of the Ministry of Punishment, also showed enough integrity. As a result, he had one of his legs broken by the arresting team members because he resisted arrest.
Dozens of heroes recruited by Ying Lian, Cai Xin and others with heavy sums of money were also rounded up, and many resisted arrest. More than forty of them were shot to death by Sauron soldiers with powerful bows on the spot. Seeing that the situation was over, more than a dozen of them had no choice but to put down their weapons and surrender.
.
As irrefutable evidence of the conspiracy, these people were immediately taken to Taitung Tomb and imprisoned.
The arrest of the conspirators was obviously much easier than the suppression of the Eight Banners of Jehol. The entire investigation team suffered no casualties and took less than half an hour.
Since Jia Liu told him not to disturb Luan Jia, the weapons used by the detective team were bows, arrows and swords and spears. As a result, after the arrest, Qianlong in the imperial tent was still waiting anxiously, unaware that a huge change had occurred.
"What is the emperor waiting for?"
Concubine Wang, who had just fed her daughter, put an imperial mink fur coat on her husband and asked cautiously.
"I'm waiting for the sound of cannons, the rumble of cannons, the sound of cannons that shake the earth!"
Qianlong, whose heart seemed to be about to jump out at any moment, held Concubine Dun's hands and couldn't suppress his excitement, "My beloved concubine, you know, my good days are coming, coming, coming soon...
