Chapter 318: The Swallow Catching Action (Part 2)

During the investigation of this case, it was initially confirmed that behind Song Pinghao and Liu Xiangqin, there were a group of former Qing royal families and officials' support and assistance. At that time, Qin Zheng had already begun to consider that after solving the case, he could use this case to carry out a major purge on the former Qing royal families and officials in Beijing.

Although before the People's Army captured Beijing, Prince Su Shanqi, Prince Gong Puwei, Beile Zaixun, Pulun, Yulang, Duke Zhenguo Zaize and others fled Beijing with some royal officials, this was only a small part after all, and most of the former Qing royal families still stayed in Beijing. First, because the People's Army's advance was too fast, many people had no time to escape; second, most people actually had no place to go, so they could only stay.

However, although these royal families remained in Beijing, they certainly would not agree with the rule of the East China government. Although they dared not resist on the surface, they would find ways to make a little trouble for the East China government in private. And once there was a stir, they would immediately jump up and down, causing trouble from it, and what is a counterattack. Since these people have lived in Beijing for many years, and have both people and land, and although their power is gone, their economic conditions are relatively rich. Each family has at least a dozen servants. If they really cause trouble, their energy should not be underestimated. Therefore, these people stayed in Beijing, which is also a large time bomb.

However, the East China Government was to rule the country according to law. There was no appropriate reason and it was difficult to move them. Now we can take this case to clean up a group of former Qing royal families and officials, and also form a sense of power against other people, so that they can know the consequences of opposing the East China Government.

So on the afternoon of the same day, [China Times] officially announced in the form of an out-of-the-country form that the theft cases of the former Prince Gong Mansion, Prince Su Mansion and Prince Chun Mansion, the three former Prince Gong Mansions, have been solved. Two criminals were arrested and confessed to the crime. The detailed case is still under further interrogation. Residents in Beijing are requested to rest assured and also announced that during the investigation of this case, several impersonation cases occurred, and all were solved by police agencies. Therefore, those who attempt to interfere should not try the law with their own eyes. At the same time, it was announced that the supervision status of Beijing's urban area will be lifted from then on.

Of course, the problem now is the interrogation result of Song Pinghao and Liu Xiangqin. Although the East China government intends to use this case to carry out a major purge on the former Qing royal family and officials in Beijing, it is also necessary to investigate the evidence and cannot be unreasonable and unrelated people.

However, the interrogation process was smoother than Li Zhengdong and Zhou Mian expected. After only one day, Song Pinghao and Liu Xiangqin could not withstand it. In fact, the two of them were not showing off their temporary courage, but were prepared to be punished. Then they knew that the criminal law of the East China Government did not require any plaques or sticks, but they just kept asking questions and asked repeatedly, and there was always strong light. Moreover, a group of people came every 2 or 3 hours, and the same question was asked, just not allowing the two to rest.

At the beginning, Song Pinghao and Liu Xiangqin found it very funny. They had originally planned to get beaten and get stuck. So this is how the East China Government interrogated, and they asked repeatedly what the use was it? Will they confess? But after changing 3 or 4 groups of people in a row, they realized that something was wrong. After all, they had been interrogating for more than 10 hours in a row, and they were also a little tired. Because their eyes were constantly shining with strong light, they were quite tired, and they just wanted to be fascinated for a while.

Unfortunately, such a small wish is impossible to be satisfied at this time. The interrogator did not give the two people a chance to sleep at all, and he was still asking the same questions repeatedly. As time went by, the two people were tired and sleepy, and the consciousness in their minds became more and more blurred. This feeling of pain was more terrifying than the torture they expected.

After two nights of fatigue bombing, Song Pinghao and Liu Xiangqin finally couldn't stand it anymore and honestly confessed everything.

It turned out that during the Gengzi period, when they came to Beijing for the second time to commit crimes, they had stolen several embassies. Due to the chaotic situation at that time, they both succeeded. Later, the two sneaked into the Japanese embassy to commit crimes. However, they learned that the Japanese embassy was very strict and the two were captured.

The Japanese Embassy was originally planning to execute Song Pinghao and Liu Xiangqin. At this time, Prince Su Shanqi went to the Japanese Embassy to negotiate state affairs, and happened to encounter this incident. Prince Su Shanqi had great ambitions, so he also liked to make friends with strange people and had heard of the names of male and female swallows. Seeing that the two dared to steal the Japanese Embassy, ​​they were quite impressed and became interested in soliciting them. So they asked their old Japanese friend Kawashima Natsu to plead with, hoping to save the two.

At this time, Kawashima Natsu was about to establish a deep friendship with Shanqi, so he dealt with it. The Japanese Embassy did not pay much attention to Song Pinghao and Liu Xiangqin, and just thought they were just two thieves. Even though someone pleaded with it, and Prince Su Shanqi, Kawashima Natsu came forward to deal with it, so he released the two, but asked that they must be expelled from Beijing.

So Shanqi took Song Pinghao and Liu Xiangqin back to his mansion and welcomed the two of them happily. Three days later, he gave them 1,000 taels of silver and sent them out of Beijing. Song Pinghao and Liu Xiangqin were naturally grateful to Shanqi and made a vow that if Shanqi had something to do in the future, the two would go through fire and water, and would never refuse. After leaving Beijing, the two of them would be active in Shanxi. After the Gengzi Kingdom ended, the two secretly sneaked back to Beijing to visit Shanqi and agreed on a contact information.

After Shanqi and others fled Beijing this time, they first arrived in Taiyuan and met with Shanxi Governor Wu Huai. They temporarily stayed in Taiyuan and also sent people to sneak back to Beijing to inquire about the news. The results of the inquiry shocked everyone. After occupying Beijing, the East China Government quickly stabilized the situation, restored social order, and was preparing for war. It is estimated that after the New Year (Lunar New Year), they would send troops westward.

After consultation, Shanqi, Pu Wei and others believed that on the one hand, they completed the rest in Taiyuan as soon as possible, left Shanxi as soon as possible, and went to Xi'an Prefecture, Shaanxi, so that they could be further away from Beijing; on the other hand, they also tried their best to delay the East China Government and delay the march of the East China Government. So Shanqi remembered Song Pinghao, Liu Xiangqin and the other two. Although these two had no military and national plans, it was still possible to create some chaos and delay the People's Army.

So Shanqi immediately used the contact information agreed by him and Song Pinghao and Liu Xiangqin to contact the two of them, and asked them to sneak into Beijing and do some earth-shaking cases, which involved the energy of the East China government. At the same time, he also drew topographic maps of several royal palaces for them, wrote several letters of the former Qing royal family who remained in Beijing and had a good relationship with him, explained their plans, and asked them to help Song Pinghao and Liu Xiangqin with one shoulder.

Song Pinghao and Liu Xiangqin came to Beijing without hesitation, and according to Shanqi's arrangement, they first visited Dorobel Zaishu.

Zai Shu was originally the son of Yizhan, the eldest son of Emperor Kangxi, Prince Aisin Jueluo Yinti. His original name was Zaiji. Later, he was adopted by Daoguang's ninth son, Aisin Jueluo Yihuan, Prince Fujing, and changed his name to Zai Shu. Therefore, he had a good relationship with Daoguang's descendants and had a good relationship with Shanqi. Of course, before Beijing fell, he did not have the courage to escape from Beijing and live in exile, but he was rejecting the rule of the East China Government from his heart.

After reading Shanqi's letter, Zai Shu took in Song Pinghao and Liu Xiangqin. Firstly, Shanqi's face could not be rejected. Secondly, more than 2,000 acres of land that Zai Shu had in Beijing were forcibly confiscated by the East China government before the New Year. Zai Shu was also full of anger and was about to add some trouble to the East China government. Moreover, he did not think that Liu Xiangqin would have any impact on him when he took in Song Pinghao. After the case was done, they flew away. Who knew what he had done?

So Zaishu not only took in Song Pinghao and Liu Xiangqin, but also ran around from many parties to contact many royal families and asked them to help. Some royal families refused, but many royal families were still willing to help. Not only were they willing to take in Song Pinghao and Liu Xiangqin, but they also helped them find out the situation and find out the truth.

After the New Year, Song Pinghao and Liu Xiangqin began to commit crimes and stole three royal palaces in a row. Although they failed to succeed in Prince Chun's mansion, they still successfully escaped. The Management Committee and the Beijing Municipal Government were forced to strictly supervise Beijing. Seeing that there was no chance to start, Song Pinghao and Liu Xiangqin took turns to live in the royal palaces, waiting for the opportunity.

However, while waiting, several false crimes occurred in Beijing, which once made people panic in Beijing, which made Zai Shu and others excited, as if they had let out such anger. At this moment, under the guidance of Beijing police, the royal family found that the garrison of the Beijing Municipal Government's office was very empty. If they committed crimes against the Beijing Municipal Government's office, the attack on the East China government and the impact they caused were far from comparable to theft of the three royal palaces.

But Song Pinghao and Liu Xiangqin are old people and will not act easily. Because they are office sites like Beijing Municipal Government Offices, the two asked the royal family to send people to inquire about the details, and at the same time draw drawings of the office sites of Beijing Municipal Government, comparing the situations collected by each clan. Moreover, they went to step on the spots in person to basically confirm that the garrison of the Beijing Municipal Government Offices was indeed very empty and could take action. Even if they could not succeed, they could escape unscathed. At the same time, the two also believed that after doing this, they were worthy of Shanqi's pursuit of life. Therefore, they decided that this was the most crime. After doing it, they left Beijing and fled to a foreign land.

That's the last vote, but it was a trap that made the two of them fail. Not only did they fail, but they also became prisoners under the ranks.
