Back to Ming Dynasty with Industrial Revolution System

Chapter 751 Beginning to Arrest (Second Update)
Qian Qianyi lived in Luyuan, Changshu County, Suzhou Prefecture, and Qian Qianyi was lying on the bed.The Huqiu meeting was destroyed by a gunshot from nowhere, and the government was arresting assassins again. All the scholars present at that time were in danger, and many people had already been taken by the government to talk.The matter of discussing the mutiny was also delayed because of this.Qian Qianyi became angry when he thought of this incident, and actually fell ill because of it.

"Who are you? Do you know that this is Qian's Mansion, the house of the Minister of Rites, how could you trespass!" Several servants shouted in the front yard.

"We are looking for Qian Qianyi, is he at home?" A group of police officers surrounded Qian Qianyi's house, and one of the chiefs of the intelligence department said.

"Of course the master is here, but he may not be willing to see you." The servant said.

"Go in and take him away!" said the person from the intelligence department, and the Suzhou policemen behind him immediately started to beat the servants of Qian's mansion away with sticks, and rushed into Qian Qianyi's room.

The person from the intelligence office said, "Master Qian, come with us?"

"You...you are from the Kyushu Army?" Qian Qianyi had long heard the servants in the front yard arguing with the visitors, but he was lying on the bed and could not escape at all.

"My name is Wei Long, and I am a member of the Kyushu Army Intelligence Department. We suspect that you are related to the assassination of Huqiu Mountain. Please follow us to the Yamen of Suzhou Prefecture."

After the visitor finished speaking, without waiting for Qian Qianyi's reaction, he was carried away.

The Kyushu Army's arrests were being carried out in Suzhou, Hangzhou, Nanjing and other places. Many people were imprisoned for allegedly assassinating envoys. Hundreds of people were arrested, pushing this matter to the fore. Well, almost everyone is waiting for the follow-up of this matter!
"Brother Zuo, something bad happened this time. Qian Qianyi and others were arrested by the Suzhou government and locked up in a prison in Suzhou City!"

Liu Liangzuo and Zuo Liangyu stayed in Suzhou with their subordinates. Now Suzhou City is under the control of soldiers from the Fourth Corps, and there are arresters from Suzhou Prefecture everywhere. It is not so easy for the two of them to leave even if they want to.

Zuo Liangyu's expression was extremely ugly.Although the Kyushu Army hunted down assassins in the south of the Yangtze River, almost all the people who were caught were in the Tiger Hill Pagoda.Maybe the ordinary people in Suzhou City didn't know their connection, but Zuo Liangyu and Liu Liangzuo knew that the people they arrested were the ones they wanted to co-conspire against.The Kyushu Army's arrests are targeted, not random arrests for questioning!

"Let's leave Suzhou City as soon as possible, this place has become a dragon's pond and a tiger's den! The Kyushu army obviously already knows the news that we are trying to start an uprising!" Zuo Liangyu said anxiously.

"Are you saying that we might be exposed?!" Liu Liangzuo's face was extremely pale.

"It's not possible, it's already exposed!" Zuo Liangyu took the quick-fire gun on the table, "Come with me, if it's too late, it will be too late!"

"Maybe it's just those rotten scholars who openly appeared in Huqiu Mountain were caught by the Kyushu army, and we general soldiers and royal family members have not been discovered yet." Liu Liangzuo said.

"Idiot, once someone is caught, they will definitely confess. Not everyone is tough! If you want to die, just stay in Suzhou City and wait for news. I have to go first." Zuo Liangyu brought a few The men went downstairs.

When Liu Liangzuo saw Zuo Liangyu leading people away, he also hurriedly followed.

Soldiers from the Fourth Corps of the Kyushu Army guarded the entrances and exits of Suzhou City, and they were interrogating the Suzhou people who entered and exited.

"Who are you?" The soldiers with muskets stopped Zuo Liangyu and Liu Liangzuo and asked suspiciously when they saw that they were all big men.

"We are merchants living in Hangzhou. We came to Suzhou City to do business. Now we have something to do at home, and we are eager to return to Hangzhou." Zuo Liangyu said.

"Do you have a household registration certificate?" asked the soldier who asked them.

Since the Kyushu Army took control of the Jiangnan area, it began to implement the household registration certificate, requiring every household to register with the government.

"Yes." Zuo Liangyu took out his household registration certificate.

He is the general of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and it is easy to obtain the household registration certificate from his subordinates.

"Zhang Erquan?" The interrogating soldier saw that there was no problem with the household registration certificate, so he said to them, "Let's go."

Zuo Liangyu and Liu Liangzuo secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

But when they were about to leave, a group of soldiers came and surrounded them.

"Zuo Liangyu, Liu Liangzuo, do you still want to leave?" one of them said.

"You've got the wrong person!" Zuo Liangyu didn't dare to move, he was still quibbling, but in his heart the Nine Provinces Army could call out their names, everything was over.

"Hey, come with us, and you'll know if you've misidentified someone."

Under the threat of muskets from the soldiers, Zuo Liangyu, Liu Liangzuo and the soldiers they led could only be captured obediently.

The prisons in Suzhou City were overcrowded, and most of them were prisoners captured by the Kyushu Army recently.

"My God, I have never seen so many prisoners since I was a jailer in Suzhou Mansion, there are hundreds of them!"

"Isn't that right? It is said that they all have a great relationship with the assassination of the envoy. They were the prisoners ordered by the military leader himself."

"It's us who are busy with the prisoners. Distributing meals to hundreds of people is a tiring task."

Several jailers were preparing meals for the prisoners on the one hand, while discussing the prisoners in the prison in Suzhou City on the other.

"It's okay to serve them rice. The key is that most of the prisoners inside are scholars. They are noisy and swearing one by one. It's annoying to listen to."

These jailers pushed carts to transport buckets of food into the prison.The moment the door was pushed open, there was indeed a lot of noise inside.

"You traitors, let us out quickly, we have nothing to do with the assassination of envoys!"

"The Kyushu Army arrested good people indiscriminately, and we literati and poets gathered in Huqiu Mountain. What is the crime? Why should they suspect us because there are assassins in Huqiu Mountain!"

"My ancestor was the servant of the Ministry of Rites during the Jiajing period. Our family has a huge influence in Suzhou City. Don't think that our family will let it go!"

"What a traitor who steals the country, doesn't even mention the abolition of stereotyped articles, does he still want to exterminate our Confucian scholars?!"

Confucian scholars shouted one by one.

"I told you to save your energy. I have been a prison guard in Suzhou Mansion for so many years. Which criminal would not say that he was wronged?" A jailer angrily pushed a bowl of coarse rice into the wooden prison.

"How do people swallow this coarse rice?" Qian Qianyi couldn't help but frown when he saw that the wooden bowl pushed in by the jailer contained low-grade brown rice.

"Where does the government have so much money to support you people who do evil and evil. You just know, some meals are one meal, maybe this is your last meal." The jailer rolled his eyes.
