Chapter 132 Confiscating the house
Most of the top leaders of the Jinhonghui had returned to the lobby of the Jinhonghui headquarters. When the Jinhonghui was causing trouble at noon, these top leaders had already left.
Many people went home to pack up their gold and silver, preparing to leave the city to hide, but the city gates had been under martial law and people were allowed to enter but not leave.
Among them, several people tried to break through the checkpoint, but they were all killed. They had no choice but to return to their base.
Hall Master Zhao looked at Liang Qiusheng and said unhappily, "Master, what should we do about this? You need to give us a set of rules."
At that time, Liang Qiusheng asked him to bring people to the streets to cause trouble, and he originally disagreed, but under the pressure of Liang Qiusheng's tyranny, he had no choice but to give in. Now that something has happened, Liang Qiusheng must come out to take the blame.
"Yes, Master, you have to come up with a plan for this matter and solve it perfectly." The remaining hall masters also echoed.
Mr. Li also looked at Liang Qiusheng, waiting for him to give a solution. Since Liang Qiusheng had connections with some gentry, asking these people for help should be able to ease the relationship with the new governor.
At this moment, Liang Qiusheng felt both aggrieved and helpless. What made him feel aggrieved was what these usually submissive subordinates were going to do. Were they going to force him to abdicate?
Unfortunately, when he calmed down, he also felt that this matter was tricky and he had misjudged the situation.
It is true that they are quite powerful, but can they be stronger than Ma Jincen? Ma Jincen was defeated by them, so why can't they do something to themselves?
Ma Jincen had compromised with him many times in the past, which gave him the illusion that he could challenge the government.
If the soldiers really want to deal with me, there are 20 to 30 thousand people in the Golden Red Society, but how many of them are really useful?
Thinking of this, Liang Qiusheng sighed. Just as he was about to speak, a small minion ran in panic and said, "President, the soldiers are here, and they have surrounded the entire mansion."
"It's over." After hearing the report, Hall Master Zhao slumped in his chair. He really couldn't understand how things turned out like this.
The remaining hall masters and helmsmen also had flickering eyes and looked at Liang Qiu Sheng from time to time, wondering what they were thinking.
Scanning the expressions of the crowd, Liang Qiusheng knew what they were thinking. He stood up and said, "Let's go out and see what they want."
The underworld has existed since ancient times. Even many years after the founding of Blue Star, there are still some underworld forces growing. They are only almost invisible after severe crackdowns.
Liang Qiuxiang did not think that the authorities would eliminate them all. He believed that sacrificing some interests should be able to maintain safety for the time being.
He had already decided in his heart that after this matter was over, he would unite with the gentry to put pressure on the government.
Outside the Jinhonghui’s headquarters, Tao Yunong ordered a team of soldiers to surround the entire mansion. Just as he was about to order the soldiers to attack, Liang Qiuxiang had already led his men out.
"Who are you and what are you going to do? Are you going to fight to the death with our Jinhong Society?" Looking at the soldiers outside the door, Liang Qiusheng's eyes fell on Tao Yunong, and he said in a stern manner.
Tao Yunong had a hint of mockery on his face: "A fight to the bitter end? With just these few people?"
"you……"
Liang Qiusheng's face was very ugly. He suppressed his anger and said, "You really don't follow any rules at all. Are you planning to wipe out our Jinhong Society?"
"We don't follow the rules?"
Tao Yunong couldn't help laughing out loud: "Master Liang, you are the one who doesn't follow the rules. If we really didn't follow the rules, we would have arrested you long ago."
"Not only did you send people to spread rumors and cause trouble in the city, you also surrounded the headquarters, allowed the congregation to loot and smash and injure people in Nanling, and even attacked the military station. Your behavior is bad and has constituted multiple serious crimes."
"Stop talking nonsense. It's just a beating up of a few peasants. Why are you holding on to it?" Liang Qiuxiang felt that Tao Yunong was just making a fuss out of nothing.
Apart from sending people to smash and destroy things and spread rumors, what kind of crime could be constituted by besieging the headquarters, and attacking military bases is even more nonsense.
Of course, he didn't know that fighting in front of the headquarters and the garrison camp in the city would be considered an attack on the military base. Of course, the more important point of colliding with the headquarters was something he didn't dare to say.
If the headquarters were attacked, the news would damage Francis Xavier's reputation.
Just like in modern times on Blue Planet, if there were reports of a terrorist attack outside the White House, would it be a blow to the United States? It's the same principle.
Tao Yunong waved his hand: "Mr. Liang, before you say that the people are peasants, you must also face up to your identity."
"The people are the people, and you are also the people. What qualifications and rights do you have to destroy their property and personal safety?"
"It's against the law. Of course, you probably won't have the chance to relearn the law in your lifetime. Arrest them all."
As Tao Yunong waved his hand, the soldiers who followed him raised their guns and rushed towards Liang Qiuxiang.
The guards around Liang Qiuxiang pulled out their pistols to intimidate him, and then, gunshots rang out, and the guards fell to the ground dead one after another.
Seeing this, Liang Qiusheng and the leaders and helmsmen of the Golden Red Society were all shocked and took a few steps back. Most of the remaining gang members took a few steps back and chose to remain silent. If the other party really dared to shoot, someone would die.
Of course, there were a few who were not afraid of death and pulled out weapons from their waists, but unfortunately they were quickly shot dead by the soldiers of the garrison division.
Liang Qiuxiang's face turned even paler, and he felt a little panicked. These soldiers opened fire at the slightest disagreement, and he was afraid of death.
A group of soldiers stepped forward and arrested Liang Qiuxiang and all the senior members of the Jinhong Society.
The person that several hall masters and helmsmen resented the most at this moment was not these soldiers, but Liang Qiu Sheng. Everyone had been living in peace, but you insisted on making trouble, resulting in everyone being arrested. Now that's it, right?
"Bah, Mr. Liang, is this your solution?" Especially Hall Master Zhao, he raised his handcuffed hands and said angrily.
Liang Qiusheng also sneered: "Why, you can't do anything to these soldiers, so you think I'm easy to bully? Didn't you say that your brothers couldn't make it anymore, and asked me to find a way?"
"I have thought of a solution, and you are complaining about it?"
Tao Yunong ignored the noise made by the Jinhong Society and instead ordered his soldiers to rush into the garrison, take control of everyone and confiscate their property.
They were busy until after five in the afternoon. Most of the members of the Golden Red Society in the city were captured or shot dead, and only a few were in hiding.
All the top leaders of the Jinhonghui were arrested and their properties were confiscated.
In Fang Jian's meeting room, Tao Yunong reported: "Commander, this time we killed 5264 members of the Jinhong Society, arrested people, and seized 1254 box guns."
"More than 1054 million silver dollars, more than large yellow croakers, more than small yellow croakers, and countless antiques, calligraphy and paintings, shops and houses were confiscated."
"Send orders to all divisions, asking them to wipe out the Golden Red Society in every city in Nanshan Province," said Fang Jian.
"All of these bandit leaders have been sentenced by the court, and their actions should meet the conditions for the death penalty. All the escaped members of the Nanling City Red Society must also be found."
"Issue a notice and let people in the city report each other. Those who have been arrested can also report those who have not been arrested. The method used by Jiwu is still very effective."
As soon as Fang Jianan finished speaking, Zhuang Jiwu walked in quickly and said, "Commander, the old patriarchs of the three major families in Nanshan Province, Tang, Wang, and Dou, want to see you."
