Warlords: Rising from the Northwest Border and Sweeping Across the Powers

Chapter 382: The Sea is Clear and the River is Peaceful, Su Zhengyang is Resolute and Swift

In Hanzhou, with the execution of Wang Ming, the entire Wang family was doomed. Almost all local officials in Hanzhou's government system were cleared out. Eight senior government talents summoned by Su Zhengyang, along with one hundred ambitious and ideal young people who graduated from the Northwest University of Political Science and Law, replaced their positions. The new director of the Hanzhou Provincial Police Department also began his actions at the first opportunity.

Reporting points have been set up directly in many places on the streets of Hanshui City. All citizens who have been oppressed by former government officials or have any grievances can report the case directly. After reporting the case, the local judicial bureau will immediately investigate the case and handle it impartially in accordance with the law.

In Qingjiang City, Hanzhou, in the wealthy Gu family, the old man of the Gu family, Gu Jiasheng, who was sitting in his study drinking tea, heard bursts of noise coming from outside.

The housekeeper looked pale, stumbling as he pushed open the study door, his voice trembling as he said, "Master, this is bad. The new chief of the city police department has personally brought people to the door, saying that he wants to investigate the young master's persecution of Huang Laogen's family in Dawei Village."

Gu Jiasheng was stunned for a moment, then he put down his teacup and said gloomily, "How can you be so flustered? Our Gu family is the most powerful family in Qingjiang City. How can we be afraid of a police station?"

There was a gradual noise outside. Gu Jiasheng pushed open the door of the study and came to the backyard, only to see the guards of the Gu Mansion holding weapons and looking vigilantly at the twenty or thirty police officers in black police uniforms and holding LIN-02 police revolvers in front of them.

"I'm telling you, this is not a place where you can do whatever you want. Get out if you know what's best for you! Otherwise, I will be rude to you!"

"I want to see how you can be rude to us! If you hinder police officers from performing their duties, you will be punished with criminal detention! Come on, take them all away!"

Twenty or thirty tall, young-looking, energetic police officers rushed forward and beat the dozen or so security guards to the ground in no time.

Gu Jiasheng was shaking all over, squinting his eyes and shouting with all his strength: "Stop it!"

Han Hai, the director of the Qingjiang City Police Department, who graduated from the Northwest Linzhou Police College, looked up at Gu Jiasheng and said, "Gu Jiasheng, right? I suspect your son is involved in a case of land grabbing and murder. This is an arrest warrant issued by the Justice Bureau. Please come with me, Master Ling."

Gu Jiasheng walked up to Han Hai with his cane and whispered in his ear, "Director Han, there may be some small misunderstandings here. My son has always been a law-abiding citizen. How could he do such a thing that violates the law? Director Han, please don't believe the slander of those unruly people. Why don't you go to the study and sit down with me so that I can talk to Director Han about the reasons and the whole story."

Gu Jiasheng's hint was already very obvious, but Han Hai was not moved at all.

"I'm not here today to make friends with your Gu family. Hurry up and call Gu He out so we can take him back to the police station. Otherwise, I will arrest him by force!"

Gu Jiasheng's heart sank. It seemed that the newly appointed director was not easy to deal with. However, in Gu Jiasheng's mind, everything had a price, and as long as the price was right, everything could be solved.

Gu Jiasheng was about to persuade him again when his eldest son, Gu He, who was tall and strong with a defiant look on his face, rushed out of the room.

Gu He put his hands on his hips, his eyes full of contempt, and shouted at Han Hai and others in an arrogant manner. His voice was sharp and piercing, as if it was going to pierce the air. "You stinking policemen on duty dare to come to Gu's house, you are really tired of living!" His tone was full of undisguised sarcasm and disdain, and every word was full of insults to the police.

Han Hai and the others looked solemn. They stood up straight and responded to Gu He's shouting with a firm gaze. They knew the importance of this mission and the responsibilities they shouldered. Facing Gu He's insults, they chose to respond with silence and prove their worth with actions.

Gu He showed a hint of pride on his face, thinking that he had gained the upper hand. However, the silence of Han Hai and others did not stop him from shouting, but made him even more arrogant. He continued to taunt, trying to break the other party's will with words.

Han Hai ordered the police captain beside him with a gloomy face: "Catch him and take him away!"

Gu He sneered and pulled out a brand new pistol from his waist. It looked like he hadn't even opened the safety. Gu He pointed the gun at the police officers on the scene and continued to taunt: "Who the hell dares to take a step forward! I will shoot him! This is outrageous. How dare you come to the Gu Mansion to arrest people!"

As soon as Gu He finished speaking, a palm-sized black shadow flew over quickly and hit him right between the eyebrows. Gu He cried out in pain, and the black pistol in his hand instantly fell out of his hand. It turned out that a police officer next to Han Hai took advantage of Gu He's unpreparedness, squatted down, picked up a stone, used it as a hidden weapon, and hit Gu He hard.

"on!"

Several police officers rushed over quickly, twisted Gu He's hands behind his back, and handcuffed him.

"Possessing firearms privately and using them with the intent to murder police officers! I never thought you would be so lawless. Your crime is even more serious!"

Seeing Gu He being taken to a modified police jeep in front of him, the Gu family felt as if they had fallen into an icy cave. This son of his had a perverse and violent nature, and had killed more than one person, and had committed many heinous crimes that were condemned by both God and man. In the past, he had been protected by the local police and government officials, and his crimes had never been exposed. But after Su Zhengyang took office, those officials had either been dismissed or imprisoned, and his son's old case was brought to light because of this.

With Gu He's capture, the downfall of the entire Gu family is only a matter of time.

The Police Academy, Political Science and Law Academy, Political Education Bureau, Military Academy, etc. established by Su Zhengyang in the Northwest Linzhou base played a huge role at this time. After nearly two years of training, these educational institutions have provided Su Zhengyang with a large number of fresh blood in the police, military, and political systems. These people are young, vigorous, full of energy, loyal to Su Zhengyang, and have a passion to serve the country.

As Su Zhengyang vigorously carried out the demolition and reconstruction of the local government system, in just three months, the prisons in various provinces were almost overcrowded. Countless old cases involving injustices were reopened and thoroughly investigated. For a time, the people sang praises to Su Zhengyang and the Northern Frontier government, and the Northern Frontier, which had been rotten to the core, actually showed an intuitive feeling of peace and prosperity.

Major mainstream media newspapers continued to follow up and report on this vigorous reform of the government system. The newly appointed young officials were also supported by the people, which made the status and identity of the Northern Xinjiang government in the hearts of the people rise sharply.
