South to North: A Prison Guard at the Beginning

Chapter 278 Holding the imperial sword, kill!

Time quickly came to August 15, 1983.

After more than half a month, the storm that had been brewing for more than half a month finally came to an end.

Just today, the government issued the "Decision on Severely Cracking Down on Criminal Activities," which will lead to a two-year crackdown.

The entire Ministry of Public Security was mobilized and issued orders to public security organs in various places, and the first place to be dealt with was the Porcelain Capital.

Moreover, this time the government also dispatched several supervision teams to various cities, districts and counties to conduct command and supervision work.

Yuan Mu was the leader of one of the supervision groups. This made Yuan Mu feel very incredible because he was just a deputy division-level cadre. You know, the level of a supervision group is at least at the bureau level. How could he, a deputy division-level cadre, be the leader?

But he couldn't help but believe it, the matter was already a done deal, his superiors had already talked to him and the order had been issued.

Originally, Yuan Mu was only a deputy division-level cadre, and under normal circumstances it was impossible for him to serve as the leader of the supervision team. However, this time the leaders of the Political Department of the Ministry of Public Security specifically talked to him. Because of his meritorious service in protecting the big boss this time, his rank was directly raised by one level, from deputy division-level to division-level, and he was specially appointed to lead a supervision team to the Porcelain Capital to command and supervise the city's activities in combating criminal offenses.

Yuan Mu was hit on the head with surprise again. He thought he would have to wait another two years to reach this level, but he didn't expect that in less than two years, he was promoted from deputy director to director.

He is 29 years old this year and is at the deputy director level. This may be inferior to some people. Many people at his age are already deputy director levels, and there are also some who are director levels. However, he started relatively late, and he is very satisfied to have reached the deputy director level at the age of 29.

It was not until later that Yuan Mu realized that he was the leader of the supervision team at the order of the big boss. As for why there was such a supervision team headed by him, it was because Yuan Mu had left a very good impression on the big boss when he was in the Porcelain Capital that day.

Coupled with the previous impression of Yuan Mu, the big boss finally made the decision to add another supervisory group on the basis of the 19 supervisory groups, and Yuan Mu would be the leader of this supervisory group. Yuan Mu heard all of this from Zhou Zhennan later.

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

On the day he received the order, which was August 16, Yuan Mu rushed to the Porcelain Capital with a dozen people from the police station, several people from the procuratorate, and a small team of armed police.

I have to say here that the armed police force was established in April 1983. This time, his superiors also assigned him a small team of armed police, which is a platoon of troops.

A group of four vehicles, three police cars and one troop carrier, drove directly to the Porcelain Capital area.

On that day, Yuan Mu moved directly into the Ci City Public Security Bureau and temporarily took over the command of cracking down on criminal activities. The director of the Ci City Public Security Bureau was also temporarily under his command. For a time, Yuan Mu held absolute power.

In other words, he has supreme power in combating criminal activities in our Ci Capital, and even the top leader of Ci Capital has no right to interfere.

In fact, during this half month, Cidu was not doing nothing. Although the government did not give clear instructions, the top leader Zhao Lianjun had already ordered a crackdown on the Caidao Gang, and more than 50 people have been arrested so far.

Yuan Mu also knew about this after his arrival, but in order to prevent the occurrence of false cases, he asked his men to further verify the identities of these people. In the end, he concluded that the more than 50 people were indeed members of the Cleaver Gang, who had been acting arrogantly and committing countless robberies and thefts.

Yuan Mu then ordered that more than 50 people headed by Li Dan be sentenced strictly, severely and quickly.

For this severe crackdown, the superiors have already issued instructions. Those who can be arrested or not must be arrested, those who can be sentenced or not must be sentenced, and those who can be killed or not must be killed!

This instruction shows the determination of the higher authorities to crack down on this issue.

So within two days, more than 50 members of the Cleaver Gang, led by Li Dan, were taken into a car. Each of them was tied up with ropes and a sign stuck on their back with their name and crime written on it. After being paraded around the city, they were executed by firing squad in an open space in the suburbs!

It was far from enough to just execute these people. Next, Yuan Mu continued to dig deeper into the remaining members of the Caidao Gang. The Municipal Bureau, the district and county branches of Cidu, and the subordinate police stations pursued and intercepted the Caidao Gang.

In addition to the members of the Cleaver Gang, Yuan Mu naturally did not let other criminals go. Police patrolled the streets in large numbers and arrested all those who were found committing any criminal offense, such as robbery, snatching, theft, and injury.

In just half a month, under Yuan Mu's command, more than 200 members of the Cleaver Gang and more than 300 other criminal offenders were successfully captured. At one time, many criminal suspects were detained in detention centers across the country.

Immediately afterwards, the procuratorate began to prosecute, and the court made a verdict soon after. Those who were originally sentenced to three years were directly increased to seven years, those who were originally sentenced to seven years were directly increased to fifteen years, and those who were originally sentenced to fifteen years were directly sentenced to death.

On September 5th, Yuan Mu was sitting in an office at the Cidu Public Security Bureau looking at the files of a new batch of arrested criminals.

Just then, there was a knock on the door and Liu Jun entered the room.

"Team leader, Secretary Zhao and Mayor Men are here."

"Oh?" Yuan Mu was stunned, then he knew what they were here for and nodded.

"Okay, let them in."

"Okay!" Liu Jun agreed, then turned and left. Soon Secretary Zhao and Mayor Men walked into the office.

Yuan Mu stood up and greeted the two with a smile on his face.

"Two leaders, how do you have time to come and guide our work?"

Although Yuan Mu came with an imperial sword, these two were the top leaders of the Porcelain Capital after all. They were bureau-level cadres with real power. He was only a director-level official, so he still had to observe the proper etiquette.

"Oh, Team Leader Yuan, I don't deserve to be the one giving guidance. We have seen your work ability over the past half month." Secretary Zhao waved his hands repeatedly.

"Secretary Zhao, you're too polite. I'm just doing my job under the leadership of DZY." Yuan Mu smiled and waved his hand.

"By the way, Team Leader Yuan, are there any difficulties in your work? Is there anything that requires cooperation from our Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government?" Mayor Men spoke at this time.

"No, the Municipal Bureau cooperated very well, and the sub-bureaus and police stations below also fully supported and cooperated, so the work progressed very smoothly."

"That's good, that's good." Mayor Men laughed dryly when he heard this.
