Chapter 131 Screening
Upon receiving the news that the unrest nearby had been quelled, Fang Jian instructed Zhuang Jiwu: "The government will provide compensation to the victims tomorrow."
"The government will fully compensate the people for all the losses caused this time. Those who are detained for screening will also be given certain compensation afterwards. Jiwu, you will personally supervise this matter."
"Also, the Nanshan newspaper publicity must be in place tomorrow, and Shao Wenli's publicity department must also get moving."
When it comes to the Propaganda Department, Shao Wenli feels helpless as he has been on the road of cultivating talents.
The first batch of trained talents were transferred to companies, battalions, and regiments to become political directors, section chiefs and other positions, and a new batch of personnel is now being trained.
"Yes, Commander." Zhuang Jiwu was also very sad about this incident.
But these losses are worth it to wipe out these underground forces.
Otherwise, why do people say that those involved in politics have dirty hearts? As long as the set goals can be achieved and the losses are within an acceptable range, they can accept them.
Perhaps there is a way to resolve the Jinhonghui issue with less loss, but the energy and time required make them impatient to wait.
Then Fang Jian looked at Tao Yunong and said, "Yunong, after arranging the guard work, arrest the remnants of the Golden Red Society throughout the city."
"Especially the bandit leaders. None of them can be spared. All the property under the name of the Golden Red Society must also be confiscated."
"Yes, Commander." Facing Fang Jian'an's calm gaze, Tao Yunong's heart trembled.
Zhuang Jiwu and Tao Yunong took action separately. Tao Yunong left more than a thousand people near the headquarters to protect the headquarters and guard the people detained in the nearby military camp.
Of the remaining three thousand men, fifteen hundred were assigned to search the entire city, and five hundred served as support.
Tao Yunong himself led a thousand soldiers and divided them into two groups. One group went directly to the headquarters of the Jinhong Society, and the other group went to the residences of the leaders of the Jinhong Society.
Zhuang Jiwu, accompanied by Hu Jian, came to the place where the last 5,000 people who had not yet been identified were temporarily detained.
Seeing someone coming, someone immediately shouted: "Sir, it's unfair, it's unfair, we are not members of the Golden Red Society."
"Yes, yes, we are ordinary people and have nothing to do with the people from the Jinhong Society." Someone else echoed.
For a moment, everyone became excited and talked about how they were wronged.
Zhuang Jiwu held the loudspeaker in his right hand and pressed it down with his left hand, chuckling, "Everyone, I understand your urgency, but everyone has experienced the atrocities of the Jinhong Society today."
"If we don't find all the bad apples, will you feel at ease?"
"What if they go out and cause trouble to us again?"
After hearing what Zhuang Jiwu said, most people fell silent. One brave man asked, "Sir, what are you going to do with us?"
"Everyone, you have to believe us. We will not wrongly accuse a good person, nor will we wrongly accuse a bad person." Zhuang Jiwu said with a smile.
"This is Chief Hu from the Security Department. He will be in charge of the screening. Please give us a day."
"After one day, you will all be able to return home safely. To express our apology, we will give 50 kilograms of rice as compensation to every innocent person."
When they heard about the rice compensation, many people's expressions changed from fear and panic to excitement.
The man who had just asked the question asked, "Sir? Are you telling the truth?"
"Of course it's true. You can also feel that your lives have improved a lot since the commander took over Nanshan. After the screening is completed tomorrow, I will personally distribute food to you."
After hearing Zhuang Jiwu's words, someone said, "Yes, our lives have indeed been much better in the past few months than before."
"Okay, sir, please identify it quickly. We will definitely cooperate." Hearing that there was food to be taken, someone else echoed.
"Yes, yes, we will definitely cooperate."
Guided by their own interests, these people were naturally willing to cooperate. Zhuang Jiwu smiled with satisfaction when he saw this. He then said, "Everyone, you can also point out."
"If you find someone who is confirmed to be from the Golden Red Society and you can prove that he is a member of the Golden Red Society, you will get an extra ten kilograms of food."
"If you are a member of the Golden Red Society, you can also come out and turn yourself in. The punishment for those who turn themselves in will be halved, and if you can testify against other people, your sentence can be reduced as well."
Hearing this, many people were moved and their eyes turned red. If you testify against one person, you can get ten kilograms of food, and if you testify against ten people, you can get one hundred kilograms.
Many people's breathing became rapid, and they looked around desperately.
The members of the Golden Red Society who were hiding in the crowd were under even greater psychological pressure. Many of them turned pale and their hearts beat violently for fear of being identified.
"Sir, this man is from the Jinhong Society." A man in the crowd looked at the young man standing not far away again and again, then he mustered up the courage to point at the young man and said.
Immediately, a soldier stepped forward and restrained the man, and Zhuang Jiwu said, "Okay, what's your name? The soldier will register him. After the screening is completed, he will be given 60 kilograms of food."
"Sir, my name is Zhang Er." The man said happily.
After the first person reported the incident, there was soon a second and a third. Zhuang Jiwu asked the guards to register these people one by one and at the same time arrest the reported members of the Jin Honghui.
Finally, a young man couldn't stand the pressure anymore and stood up and said, "Sir, if I turn myself in, can my sentence really be reduced?"
"Okay, I can reduce your sentence by half." Zhuang Jiwu nodded in confirmation.
Then the young man pointed at the people behind him and said, "Sir, they are also members of the Golden Red Society."
"Liu Dalin, you are a traitor. You actually betrayed your brothers." A man behind him stepped forward and kicked Liu Dalin.
Liu Dalin fell to the ground, and the man was about to kick him again. Several guards came forward and arrested all the members of the Jinhonghui.
Zhuang Jiwu stepped forward and pointed at Hu Jian and said to Liu Dalin: "Okay, this is Section Chief Hu. You have made contributions by pointing out the members of the Golden Red Society. If you can cooperate with Section Chief Hu to find more members of the Golden Red Society and make great contributions, you may be exempted from punishment."
"Sir, I will cooperate with you. I will do my best." The young man was overjoyed to hear that he could be exempted from punishment.
Hu Jian and Zhuang Jiwu looked at each other and were very happy.
Afterwards, some of the members of the Jinhong Society surrendered themselves, were identified by their accomplices, and were identified by the people. Especially some of the arrested ones also wanted to make meritorious contributions.
Soon, more than two thousand people were selected from the five thousand people.
Although they didn't know whether there were any members of the Jinhong Society among the remaining people, Zhuang Jiwu and Hu Jian did not dare to be careless.
Instead, they screened these people again, asked for their addresses, checked with their neighbors one by one, and made sure that they were not members of the Jin Honghui. They were all released one by one and the promised food was distributed on the spot.
Those who received the food could not help but be overjoyed. One person said, "The new warlord is a really good man. Not only did he arrest all the members of the Golden Red Society, he also distributed food to us."
"Yes, all these members of the Golden Red Society have finally been eliminated. We won't be bullied by them anymore." The person next to him echoed.
While Zhuang Jiwu was identifying the five thousand people, Tao Yunong happened to lead his troops to surround the headquarters of the Jinhong Society.
