Past Events
in Shijiazhuang: Records
of Enmity and Violence of the Gangsters in Yanzhao: Counting the Motives and the End
of Evil If we make a list of the influence of Chinese TV series, then Conquest will definitely be on the list, after many years. The image of Sun Honglei’s gangster pointing a gun at his opponent and saying, “Give you a chance, you’re useless,” is still popular.
This documentary style police and gangster film, known as the mainland version of “Young and Dangerous” by the audience, has created super high ratings and great influence at the beginning of this century. After the broadcast, it swept the north and south of the Yangtze River, made Sun Honglei popular, and conquered countless female audiences. The greatest significance of this play is to analyze the process of Liu Huaqiang’s degeneration step by step, and to truly depict the public security situation of that era. The original purpose of the
TV series is to promote the theme of justice over evil, but many people feel that although the underworld elements played by Sun Honglei are ruthless, they are affectionate and righteous, which has the opposite effect. Although the place where the story takes place in the
play is a fictional place name “Hengzhou,” anyone with a discerning eye can tell at a glance that it is Shijiazhuang. The hero played by Sun Honglei, the prototype of eldest brother Liu Huaqiang, is Zhang Baolin, an underworld figure who was rounded up and captured by the armed police in Shijiazhuang City in 2000 and executed in 2001.
Zhang Baolin’s story was adapted into a TV series because he single-handedly created the largest gang-related shooting case in Hebei Province since the founding of New China. If we want to explain his criminal experience thoroughly, we must involve many people who had been in the underworld in Shijiazhuang. To borrow the name of a Hollywood blockbuster that failed to be released in China last year, it is the past of Shijiazhuang.
Because the police kept the details of the case secret, we can only get the details of several gun murders related to Zhang Baolin through the reports of some parties. I dare not say that it is 100% restored, but it is a qualified talk after dinner.
Time: May
1999 Location: Shijiazhuang, an old residential area at the entrance
of this evening, the people who had an early dinner are walking around in twos and threes. On the side of the entrance of the community, two old people were playing chess on the sidewalk, beside which stood seven or eight people with cigarettes in their mouths. As the
sky darkened and the yellow street lights came on, no one noticed that a silver-gray Songhua River van was slowly approaching the group of chess watchers along the roadside. In Shijiazhuang in
May, the weather was already very hot, but the windows of the car were closed, and the glass was still covered with black film, so people outside could not see the situation inside, but this kind of car was very common at that time, and it did not attract the attention of others at all.
The “Songhua River” was getting closer and closer to the crowd watching the chess game. When it was still about ten meters away, the window of the passenger seat slowly rolled down, and a pair of cold eyes inside carefully observed the group of people. It was not until the “Songhua River” passed by the crowd that the eyes finally found the target in the crowd. The
car suddenly stopped about five meters away from the crowd, and then the sliding door on the side was pulled open with a crash, and two young men jumped out of the back seat, each holding a long black object in their hands. As soon as their feet touched the ground, they ran to the crowd watching the chess. Someone
on the side of the road screamed because the black objects in their hands were none other than two shotguns!
Two young men ran up behind a chess player, raised their guns and pulled the trigger. Someone around
the chessboard had already heard the scream and was touching around. Suddenly, he saw someone running towards him with a gun. He was too frightened to think about it. He quickly held his head and shrank into a ball. At the same time, the gun rang. People who were
busy hiding did not dare to look up, for fear of seeing something they should not see that would harm them. They could only desperately expand their sense of touch. “Was this shot at me?”? Do I feel any pain? There were
four shots fired.
It was only after the “Songhua River” had driven away that people began to react. Still in shock, they looked back and forth and discovered that a man in his thirties had been shot and had fallen to the ground. The
ambulance came quickly and took the injured to the hospital.
The man was so badly wounded that one of the bullets had passed through his shoulder blade and was no more than a centimeter from his heart. If the shotgun had been more powerful, he would have died before an ambulance arrived. Shooting and killing people in the street in full view of
the public, the matter quickly spread in Shijiazhuang, there are informed people have discussed, there are underworld to kill Zhang Baoyi!
Zhang Baoyi was the man who was shot and fell to the ground. He was recognized because his brother was Zhang Baolin, the boss of the underworld in Shijiazhuang. People who
witnessed the scene of the shooting were all frightened. Everyone was guessing that the two people who shot must also be from the underworld. How could ordinary people have the courage and weapons? Who dares to shoot Zhang Baolin’s own brother in the street? Aren’t they afraid that Zhang Baolin will come back to avenge his brother?
All kinds of rumors spread all over Shijiazhuang overnight, no one knew what was going on, and the mystery of the murder was revealed two years later.
The next day, a middle-aged man rushed to the hospital. His brother was shot yesterday and was lying in the intensive care unit. When he learned from the doctor that his brother’s life was not in danger for the time being, he left the hospital in a huff and rushed to the Criminal Police Brigade.
This middle-aged man is the fierce bandit we are going to talk about today, the prototype of Liu Huaqiang in the TV series Conquest: Zhang Baolin, the “Shijiazhuang Big Brother” who was famous for his sinister and ruthless gun in the 1990s.
Speaking of Zhang Baolin, it is well known in Shijiazhuang that he did business in his early years. Later, because he liked to fight bravely and ruthlessly, he became famous on the road and gathered some younger brothers around him. In the early nineties, he was introduced to watch the scene in the game hall. Don’t look down upon the venue. At that time, in a third-tier city, the monthly salary of a staff member of a public institution was only two or three hundred yuan, but he could get at least one thousand yuan a month.
It is often said that the underworld in Jianghu is a road of no return. Zhang Baolin has a gloomy personality and never tries to please others, so it is hard to avoid making enemies with others. The most famous one is that he led two younger brothers with guns to confront the hoodlums of No.40 and No.50 with machetes and sticks. Although he was told and did not start fighting in the end, he became more famous. This led to the rumor that he had singled out a hundred or so thugs. The news of
his brother Zhang Baoyi’s injury reached Zhang Baolin at the first time. At that time, he was doing business in Guangzhou and had not returned to Shijiazhuang for a long time. When he got the news, his first reaction was: This must be his enemy taking out his anger on his brother!
He first called several friends around his brother and was relieved to learn that he was out of danger after rescue, but his brain did not relax.
Zhang Baolin’s mind flashed through one figure after another, all of whom had had a quarrel with him. Who
could it be? Ma Laowu, Sun Ta-hung, Chao Hui-min, or Ting Hsu? Zhang Baolin decided to return to Shijiazhuang immediately. My brother was almost killed, and he wanted revenge. Although
Shijiazhuang is a provincial capital city, less than 300 kilometers away from Beijing, more than 20 years ago, its economy and urbanization level were still very low. On the whole, it was close to the present county town, and people’s living standards were generally not high. Most people lived in low and old buildings or bungalows.
Since ancient times, there have been many brave people in Yanzhao, and the local people are bold and unconstrained in character, advocating force and loyalty. In this way, the strong humanistic environment and backward economic environment of rivers and lakes, together with various social contradictions in the process of change, have created an unstable social environment for many years.
Shijiazhuang was once called “one of the ten most horrible cities in the country.” Although it is somewhat exaggerated, it can also reflect some real situations, and Zhang Baolin is a representative figure in this “horrible city.”.
On the second day of Zhang Baoyi’s injury, Zhang Baolin returned to Shijiazhuang from Guangzhou on the first flight. As soon as he landed, he rushed to the hospital. After a brief conversation with the doctor, Zhang Baolin learned that Zhang Baoyi had temporarily saved his life, so he could concentrate on what he wanted to do.
The night before, after a long recollection, he made a list of eight people, all of whom had made enemies with him. Some made enemies because of money, some fought with each other, and some robbed Zhang Baoyi’s girlfriend. After coming out of the hospital, Zhang Baolin took the list and rushed to the Criminal Police Brigade. He wanted to hand the list to the police to avenge his brother.
In the vice squad, Zhang Baolin met with a rebuff. The police are under unified command and teamwork. How can they listen to him? Zhang Baolin saw that the list did not work and had to leave. When he reached the door, he looked back and muttered, “You don’t care, I’ll take care of it myself!”
He wants to avenge his brother.
Before talking about Zhang Baolin’s revenge, let’s first get to know this man and his feud with several “gangsters” in Shijiazhuang. The reason why
Zhang Baolin is so rampant and wants to direct the police to handle cases is that he is used to being crazy. He is famous in the underworld and has guns to protect his body. He never cares about human life and does not take the law seriously. For the first time,
he “rose to fame” on the street, relying on his fearlessness and ruthlessness. As mentioned earlier, he started helping people watch games in the early 1990s, and it was in the first underworld confrontation in the game hall that he became famous.
At that time, gambling game halls were just emerging in Shijiazhuang. On the surface, they were places to play games, but in fact, gambling machines were the real big money here. Because various rules and regulations were not in place at that time, the operators of the game halls took advantage of the loopholes and let the gambling machines exist for a long time. One
of the earliest game halls was opened next to the First Workers’ Cultural Palace in Shijiazhuang City, which is often referred to by locals as the “First Palace.” The owner’s name was Ding Xu. In those years, the scale of his game room was unsurpassed by others. There were more than a dozen gambling machines alone, so the profit was so high that it could be described as “getting rich every day.” The net profit per day could reach several thousand yuan. But the people who frequented the game hall were a mixed bunch, and there were often people who fought, and people who lost money and didn’t give it back, so it was impossible to run the place without a powerful character to see it. So Ding Xu was introduced to a man named Sun Daoquan, nicknamed “Sun Ta-hung,” who came to see the place.
Once the “one palace”
… Sun Ta-hung, who
used to be the “First Palace,”
was much more famous than Chang Pao-lin at that time. It was said that he carried a human life on his back, and the Public Security Bureau was also in and out several times. Most people did not dare to provoke him. But it wasn’t long before Sun Dahong discovered that gambling machines were really too profitable. Ding Xu earned more in a day than he did in a month with his men, so he opened a game hall and became a boss. As soon as
Sun Dahong left, Ding Xu could only continue to look for people, but at that time, the crackdown had already begun, and many well-known ruthless characters on the road had gone to prison. He felt that it was not bad to put on a few people to put on a facade, so he asked an elder brother named Zhang Jianshe, who knew more people in the underworld, to help find candidates. Zhang Jianshe later changed his name to Zhang Jiahao and became a personal bodyguard for Zhao Benshan. He was also the vice president of Benshan Media and acted in many film and television works. But these are all things after a few years, so we won’t go into details here.
Zhang Jianshe found Zhang Baolin and asked him to bring his brothers to help take care of Ding Xu’s game hall. As soon as Zhang Baolin heard that he would get money if he stayed in the game hall every day, he readily agreed and began his career of watching the game with his trusted followers Hao Yi and Laoyi.
As we mentioned earlier, Zhang Baolin doesn’t talk much, and the same is true of Hao Yi and Laoyi. Usually they play games and smoke in the game hall. They don’t pay attention to anyone, nor do they take the initiative to cause trouble. They have a cool style. But even so, it caused trouble.
At that time, there was a big hoodlum named Gao Li in Shijiazhuang, who also had many younger brothers. One day, he took several people to Ding Xu’s game hall.
Gao Li was attracted by his fame. He had long heard that Zhang Baolin did not talk much and did not mix with people on the road, so he came to find out how capable Zhang Baolin was.
Gao Li led a group of younger brothers to Chang Pao-lin, shaking their arms. He squinted and curled his lips and asked, Hey! Are you Zhang Baolin? Do you know who I am?
Zhang Baolin was sitting on a long sofa smoking with Hao Yi and the old man. He glanced at Gao Li, ignored him, flicked his cigarette ash on the ground, took a hard puff, and turned his head to one side. As soon as Gao Li saw the man’s contemptuous face and did not answer, he immediately felt that he had lost face. The most important thing on the road is face, which was enraged, Gao Li opened his mouth and scolded the street.
He just cursed the street, but did not notice that Hao Yi next to him slowly straightened up and stretched his right hand to the back of his waist. By the time he realized something was wrong, it was too late. Hao Yi suddenly jumped up from the sofa, his right hand shining in front of him, and a shotgun in his hand directly on Gao Li’s forehead!
Gao Li was an old hoodlum on the streets of Shijiazhuang, and he knew at a glance that it was a five-shot shotgun. This kind of gun was quite common in the mountainous areas of our country in the 1980s, and it was easy to get. It was a common weapon in the underworld of Shijiazhuang at that time. The stock is usually sawed off and the barrel is sawed short in order to remain undetected and portable. But because the barrel is shorter, the bullet slides shorter inside, the accuracy is worse, and it is necessary to shoot at close range or face to face. So people who have enemies in the underworld don’t have to worry about being sniped at all. The biggest effect of this gun is to frighten people.
Five shots
in a row.
Five shots
in a row, a dark and cold shotgun on the forehead, who has to think clearly on the body.
Gao Li is no exception. Before he
came to the game hall, he drank a little wine and was in high spirits. At this time, the dark muzzle of the gun suddenly poked him. He was excited and immediately woke up.
I heard Hao Yi say in a low voice, “One more scolding and I’ll kill you!”
Just when Gao Li was forced not to move, several acquaintances on the road came around and persuaded Hao Yi to put down his gun and relieve Gao Li. But Gao Li lost face in front of his younger brother, so he couldn’t just let it go. He immediately left the game room and went outside to gather the brothers.
An hour later, Gao Li returned to the game hall with more than 40 people, carrying sticks and machetes, only to find that Zhang Baolin was already ready. The three of them stood back to back, each holding a “five-shot,” with a fearless look on their faces, always ready to meet the “enemy” who rushed up. Chang Pao-lin shouted, “Whoever comes over will be killed!”
In this case, the first charge must be a dead end, a group of small ruffians who usually take fighting seriously were stunned in place, and no one dared to come forward. After a few minutes of
stalemate, a gang elder brother, who was known as the “third brother,” came over and began to make peace with everyone: “Today was just a misunderstanding. Everyone looked down and didn’t see anyone. Give me face. Let’s break up! Pao-lin, put that thing away quickly. If the police come, you’ll be in trouble! Hearing this,
Zhang Baolin put away his gun, and Gao Li and his gang all went down the slope and put their knives and sticks back in their arms. Even if the storm had subsided.
From then on, Zhang Baolin knew that even if he did not look for trouble, someone would come to trouble him, even more guns. And the underworld in Shijiazhuang also knew that there was a ruthless man named Zhang Baolin who drew his gun when he did not agree with each other.
Mention triad members, many people will think of Hong Kong films full of flesh, a face of dangerous, tall and burly villains, in fact, Zhang Baolin himself is just the opposite.
He is over 170 in height, looks ordinary and is not good at words. At first glance, he is no different from ordinary people. He has nothing to do with the underworld, but after a long time of contact, he will feel the gloom on his body.
Zhang Baolin
.
Zhang Baolin
Zhang Baolin was born in 1962. There are five children in his family. There is a brother Zhang Baogui who is 15 years older than him and two sisters. They are all honest and dutiful. There is a brother who is 4 years younger than him. He is Zhang Baoyi who was shot at the beginning.
Zhang Baolin’s ancestral home is in Feicheng, Tai’an, Shandong Province. His father was born in the 1920s. When he was young, he went to Tonghua, Jilin Province to make a living. He worked as a worker in a local coal mine machinery factory and got married. In the late 1950s, the factory moved to Shijiazhuang, which is now Shijiazhuang Coal Mining Machinery Co., Ltd. His parents came to Shijiazhuang with their brothers and sisters, and when he and his brother were born in Shijiazhuang, their parents were older.
At that time, there were many children in the family, and Zhang Baolin’s parents did not care to educate the two youngest sons at all. So Zhang Baolin and Zhang Baoyi were troubled teenagers from an early age. They were sent to the Public Security Bureau for petty theft and fighting, and were reeducated through labor for several years. It was not until Zhang Baolin was eighteen years old that he took over his father’s class and entered the coal mine machinery factory and became a worker. In the first few years of
entering the factory, Zhang Baolin was able to work well and live a relatively stable life. But after a few years, the bad habit of fighting came back. Zhang Baolin’s family has no money and no power, and he himself has no culture. When he encounters problems, he will only rely on force to solve them. Because he dares to fight hard, some social idlers younger than him gather around him and regard him as his eldest brother.
In the 1980s, Zhang Baolin’s parents died one after another. At this time, he saw that many people had started to do business and made money, so he came up with the idea of doing business himself. Encouraged by his younger brother, Zhang Baolin quit his job in the factory and began to set up a stall to do business.
In the eighties, as long as they were willing to work hard, they could make money, and Zhang Baolin was no exception. After he had some money, he had more and more younger brothers around him, and at the same time he had some fame. He got to know Zhang Jianshe, who later became a celebrity around Zhao Benshan, and then went to Ding Xu’s game hall to watch the scene.
However, since the confrontation with Gao Li, the business of Ding Xu’s game hall has fallen sharply, which is totally unexpected and reasonable. People come to this place to have fun, even if they lose money, it’s not a big deal, but when they think of someone with a gun in this place, they can’t enjoy winning money. If someone who doesn’t open his eyes comes to make trouble, Zhang Baolin will pull out the gun again, maybe he will be splashed with blood all over his body, and maybe the gun will go off and hit himself.
Ding Xu is also very dissatisfied, let you come to see the venue, the result of the guests are scared away, this is not to delay my money? A few days later, Ding Xu “fired” Zhang Baolin and his subordinates. But Ding Xu has a fatal weakness: he is stingy, and he belongs to the kind of person who employs people in the front and does not employ people in the back. At this point, he just wanted to send these “pestilence gods” away quickly, and kept complaining that they shouldn’t have guns with them, and now no one dares to come to play. But want to let people go, must come up with some compensation, think about it, Ding Xu only took out three thousand yuan to Zhang Baolin.
Zhang Baolin, of course, did not want to, if not for him and his brothers, Ding Xu’s game hall would have been smashed several times, so in the name of borrowing from Ding Xu and forcibly took twenty thousand yuan before leaving. He said he borrowed it, but he didn’t intend to return it at all.
Not long after, a man nicknamed Ho Lao-liu also opened a game room near Yigong, but on a smaller scale. He invited Chang Pao-lin over to watch the scene. After a while, something happened.
Ding Xu has a distant relative who often comes to the game hall to play gambling machines. This man is also a rogue. He often occupies a machine to play for a day. Ding Xu sees that he affects business and swears, which really affects others. He says hello to He Laoliu and lets the relative play here. If he loses money, it will be on his head. He Laoliu had no reason to refuse, so he accepted it.
A few days later, the relatives lost five thousand yuan, He Laoliu asked Ding Xu for it. Although Ding Xu was not happy, he could not keep his word, so he gave the money to He Laoliu. But as soon as he Laoliu returned to his shop, his relatives followed him and asked him to hand over the money.
He Laoliu said, “Why should I give you the money?”
The relative said, “If you don’t give it to me, I’ll call my sworn brother. Don’t regret it then.”
He Laoliu looked at the mud on his neck and said contemptuously, “I don’t recognize the elder brother you worshipped in your village. I advise you to go back to where you came from and not make a fool of yourself here.” All of a sudden, the
relative was in a hurry and shouted in the game hall, “My eldest brother is a stick!”! I advise you to give me the money quickly, and when my eldest brother comes and you regret it, it won’t be about the money! As soon as
he Laoliu heard the word “Ding stick”, he was afraid.
Another big hoodlum on the Shijiazhuang Road came out.
Ding Gang, formerly known as Li Jianqi, was an outlaw who carried not only guns but also grenades with him. His nickname “Ding Gun” became a synonym for terror when he fled to the south in 1993 after he and another gang of hooligans killed a passer-by by mistake at a gas station on the outskirts of Shijiazhuang. Everyone is afraid of him because he is desperate to fight. It is said that people in Shijiazhuang at that time would frighten disobedient children by saying, “If you don’t obey, Ding Bang will come!”
Twenty years ago, identity management was far less stringent than it is now, let alone networking and big data, so trying to catch him is like looking for a needle in a haystack. Ding Guang drifted outside. When he was short of money, he went back to Shijiazhuang to extort money. He had a gun in his hand, and people dared not give it to him. Every time he gets the money, he leaves immediately. This went on and on until he was shot dead by the police in May 1996.
He Laoliu was threatened by that relative in 1994, when Ding Bang was “deified.”. He thought, what if what his relatives said was true? It was not worth taking the risk for a few thousand yuan. Anyway, the business of his game hall was not very good, and he was ready to transfer it, so he gave the five thousand yuan to his relatives. When
Zhang Baolin heard about this, he was furious and repeatedly asked He Laoliu why he didn’t call him over. Ho Lao-liu looked indifferent and said, “I’m not going to do it anyway. It’s not worth offending someone for this money. What if he’s really a stick?”
Zhang Baolin spat and said, “You are really not a man!”! This place is under my protection! Then he gathered a group of younger brothers and walked aggressively to Ding Xu’s game hall. He wanted to settle old and new accounts together.
As soon as they entered the game hall, Zhang Baolin and Hao Yi drove away the people who were playing the game, and then put their feet on the game machine, waiting for the war.
A man who looked like a security guard came over and asked them to let the machine out. Hao Yi shouted angrily, “What’s wrong?”? Can’t you rest here for a while?
The security guard wanted to argue with them again. Without saying a word, Zhang Baolin and his younger brother took out a knife and stick and slashed at the security guard. In a few minutes, the security guard was seriously injured, and then more than a dozen game machines were smashed. When
Ding Xu heard this, he panicked. He knew that the reason why Zhang Baolin came to make trouble was that he had been holding his breath, and this time he was making use of the topic to play, so he took the initiative to make peace. Zhang Baolin asked for 200,000 yuan in compensation, but Ding Xu was reluctant to give it up, so he found his neighbor “Xin Ge” from the same village to make peace. Xin Ge is ten years older than them, and he is not a person on the road, but he is a martial arts coach, and many of the students he brought out have come out to mix with the underworld, so Zhang Baolin has to give him some face. Through the reconciliation of “Xin Ge,” Zhang Baolin finally received only 70,000 yuan from Ding Xu. After
this incident, Ding Xu knew that he had to watch the game here, so he paid a high price to invite Sun Dahong back. Sun Dahong was much more famous than Zhang Baolin. With him in charge, Ding Xu’s game hall was calm for a period of time.
In 1996, Zhang Baolin opened a consignment station with Ma Laowu, a senior underworld leader, in order to have a legal business to settle his younger brother.
To say that this Ma Laowu is a legendary figure, he and his brother Ma Laodun are Hui people who moved from the northwest in the early years. They are the most famous and senior in the underworld of Shijiazhuang. The two brothers served as Red Guards when they were young, and they did a lot of beating, smashing, looting, and burning. During the “strike hard” campaign in 1983, the two brothers of the Ma family fled to the northwest of China to hide for a few years. When they came back, the people of the same generation who had been with them had all been punished. They were either imprisoned or shot, or retired from Jianghu to live a dutiful life. The two brothers suddenly became the oldest people in the underworld of Shijiazhuang, and everyone had to respect them when they saw them.
The consignment station is equivalent to our current logistics company. At that time, air transportation had not yet developed, and train transportation was under the unified allocation of the state, so domestic goods could only be transported by road, with considerable profits. Moreover, opening a consignment station does not require high quality of people, which is just convenient for the placement of the younger brothers of the underworld and for them to find a serious business, so many of the practitioners of the consignment business at that time were related to the underworld.
Ma Laowu invests more money in the consignment station, and the income share is also more. The purpose of cooperation between Zhang Baolin and Ma Laowu is to rely on big trees to enjoy the cool. With the name of Ma Laowu, others dare not rob their business and find trouble for them. But Ma Laowu became a shopkeeper. He didn’t care about the consignment station at all. He just took 70% of the profits every month. This made Zhang Baolin, who was busy every day but could only get 30% of the profits, very angry. His heart became more and more unbalanced, so one day, he took a younger brother to negotiate with Ma Laowu, trying to persuade him to give himself 10%. Before departure, Zhang Baolin specifically told his younger brother not to act rashly and act according to his face.
Ma Laowu really enough horizontal, did not give Zhang Baolin this face, said how to agree at the beginning how to do after, and scolded him. Zhang Baolin did not dare to make a sound, so he could only lower his head and be scolded, staring at Ma Laowu’s legs. At this time, the younger brother noticed his eyes and thought that Zhang Baolin wanted him to launch an attack. Without hesitation, he took out a “five-shot” from his bosom and pulled the trigger at Ma Laowu’s thigh.
Ma Laowu fell to the ground. Zhang Baolin was shocked. He didn’t mean that at all. Without further ado, he immediately called an ambulance and left Shijiazhuang alone overnight. With his strength, he can’t compete with the Ma brothers at all. Fortunately, Ma Laowu’s brother Ma Laodun was still in prison at that time, otherwise his life would be in danger.
However, from the beginning of this incident, Zhang Baolin became famous on the road in Shijiazhuang, because he dared to shoot Ma Laowu.
A few months later, Ma Laodun was released from prison. Their generation is different from Chang Pao-lin’s younger generation, who “put money first.” They need a sense of existence most. How to brush the sense of existence? Is to make people afraid of him and need him. Now that his own brother had been injured, he could not give up, so he found Sun Dahong and led people to cut several of Zhang Baolin’s men, including Zhang Baolin’s right-hand man, the old man.
Half a month later, Zhang Baolin returned to Shijiazhuang for revenge. He did not dare to attack Ma Laodun directly, so he set his goal on Sun Dahong, who was slightly inferior in strength. On a dark and windy night, Zhang Baolin led Hao Yi and Laoyi to stop Sun Dahong, who had just come out of the dance hall. Hao Yi fired four shots and fired the bullets into Sun Dahong’s thighs and heels, maiming Sun Dahong.
At this point, Zhang Baolin created two powerful enemies in Shijiazhuang: the Ma brothers and Sun Dahong.
He didn’t dare to stay long and went to Guangzhou to avoid the limelight.
Guangzhou is one of the earliest cities open to the outside world in China. It is very close to Hong Kong, with developed commerce and a large foreign population. At that time, many people who had committed crimes in the north fled to the south, and Guangzhou was the preferred place to stay. After Zhang Baolin fled to Guangzhou, he started a clothing business.
During this period, he met Wang Tianpeng and Lu Jinliang, two outlaws. The three men were later killed and arrested together.
At that time, Zhang Baolin’s clothing market had a thief who was preparing to steal. Zhang Baolin saw through it at a glance and came forward to chat. Hearing it, the thief still had a Shijiazhuang accent. After a meal of wine, the man said to Chang Pao-lin, “Brother, my younger brother’s name is Wang Tien-peng. Brother Hsieh likes him very much. He invited me to eat meat and drink wine. To tell you the truth, I beat up a man in Shijiazhuang and had to go to Guangzhou to make a living. I don’t have any skills. I can only be a thief.” Zhang Baolin saw that he was very honest, and he was a fellow man, so he took him in to help in the shop.
At that time, Wang Tianpeng was only in his early 20s. He felt that he had met a noble person, so he called his friend Lu Jinliang, who was a few years older than himself, to help Zhang Baolin start his business.
Lu Jinliang, a native of Qiqihar, had committed a greater crime than Wang Tianpeng. He had killed people in the northeast and had gone to Guangzhou to avoid the limelight.
In other words, these people who fled, generally to the field will try to keep a low profile, do not make trouble. On the one hand, it is to avoid the sight of the police, and on the other hand, it is because the strong dragon can not overwhelm the local snake. In other people’s territory, no one will buy you even if you are arrogant. When Ding Gang fled to the south, several local hoodlums molested his girlfriend. Ding Gang could only plead with people with a smile and get a few slaps. So when he was short of money, he could only go back to Shijiazhuang. His name was not good when he left Shijiazhuang.
In this way, Zhang Baolin, with two newly recognized younger brothers, did a good job in the clothing business in Guangzhou, but unexpectedly, he received a call that his younger brother had been shot.
And he did not know that the mastermind behind the shooting was Sun Dahong!
It turned out that Sun Dahong had been lying in bed for nearly two years after he was shot and spent hundreds of thousands of yuan on medical expenses. At the time of the incident, one of his younger brothers recognized that one of the gunmen was Hao Yi under Zhang Baolin, so in the past two years, he always wanted to find Zhang Baolin for revenge.
But Sun Dahong couldn’t find Zhang Baolin, so he thought of taking out his anger on Zhang Baolin’s brother Zhang Baoyi.
Then came the shooting we talked about at the beginning.
When Zhang Baolin saw his younger brother lying in a hospital bed with only half a life left, his heart was naturally like a knife and he was furious. He knew that his enemies could not find him, so he could only take it out on his brother. But he had offended a lot of people in the past few years, and anyone could have done it to his brother. In order to stir up the perpetrators, Zhang Baolin said, “Whoever did it will come out and admit it. If no one admits it, one of the hoodlums in Shijiazhuang who had enmity with him will die in a month!”!
No one came out and admitted it. Because the mastermind Sun Dahong has been hiding for a long time. He’s already maimed, and if he gets shot a few more times, he’ll probably give up his life.
But Zhang Baolin this side, the eye looks at nobody to admit, the anger grows day by day, has the revenge to be sure is his characteristic, can only be he took the initiative to attack!
It’s just that in the next act of revenge, he didn’t let his former “right-hand men,” Hao Yi and Laoyi, participate, nor did he tell them that he had returned to Shijiazhuang. What he thought was that his younger brother was injured and could not continue to run the consignment station, and that his two former subordinates needed to shoulder the burden of running it. After
deciding to take revenge himself, he called back Wang Tianpeng and Lu Jinliang from Guangzhou. Both Wang and Lu felt that Zhang Baolin was kind and loyal to them. In order to repay them, they decided to follow the boss no matter whether they went to the mountain of knives or to the frying pan.
Hit it off immediately, and the main event began.
Time: July 19
, 1999 Location: An old cottage area
in Shijiazhuang Victim: Former game hall owner Ding Xu
Zhang Baolin decided to line up the characters who had a quarrel with him on the underworld in Shijiazhuang one by one and end them one by one. The first one to do it is Ding Xu.
In the past few years, the game machine industry has been silent because Shijiazhuang began to ban gambling on game machines. Ting Hsu-kuan and Chang Ta-chi turned around and started a trading company, becoming “serious businessmen.”.
Zhang Baolin held a grudge against Ding Xu because he risked his life to show Ding Xu the scene. Ding not only did not appreciate it, but complained that he had delayed his business and drove him away. Although he later found an excuse to smash more than a dozen machines of Ding Xu and got 70,000 yuan in compensation, Zhang Baolin still took it to heart and wanted to take revenge. In
this way, Ding Xu became the first prey under Zhang Baolin’s gun.
Zhang Baolin first tracked Ding Xu, which was easy to handle, because Ding Xu had a very cool red Mitsubishi sports car. At that time, the family car in our country was not popular, and it was a luxury to have his own car. Ding Xu, as the first group of rich people, had the conditions to buy a sports car, which was very cool in Shijiazhuang and was particularly conspicuous wherever he drove. It also facilitated the people who followed him. At 9 o’clock
that evening, Ding Xu drove back to his parents’ home. As soon as he turned into an alley, he was pinned to one side by a van. He was about to open the door and get off and scold a few words. He saw the right rear sliding door of the van open with a crash. Two figures jumped out of it. In a twinkling of an eye, two people came to him. Each carried a modified “five-shot” in his hand. Just as Ding Xu was about to open his mouth to speak, shots rang out. Ding Xu was shot twice in the head and chest, and fell in his car. People
living nearby heard the gunfire and immediately called the police, but when the police arrived, the two gunmen and the van had already disappeared, and Ding Xu had lost signs of life.
Immediately, the Shijiazhuang City Public Security Bureau quickly set up a “special task force for the 719 shooting case” and began to investigate the case with all its strength.
Zhang Baolin did not care about these at all, and went up against the wind. The next target of revenge was Ma Laodun.
Time: August 7
, 1999 Place: In front of
a singing hall in Shijiazhuang City Victim: Ma Laodun
Since Zhang Baolin’s younger brother injured Ma Laowu a few years ago, Ma Laodun has been looking for him. He also took someone to cut his men, but thanks to Zhang Baolin’s timely departure from Shijiazhuang, he was spared. But now the news of his return will certainly spread to Ma Laodun’s ears, a vicious fight is inevitable, Zhang Baolin decided to preempt and kill Ma Laodun. At ten o’clock
that evening, at the entrance of a dance hall, three men and a woman were smoking and chatting, and occasionally passers-by were passing by. Walking quickly from a distance came two young men with traveling bags on their backs. They looked ordinary and had no expression on their faces. No one noticed them. About ten meters away from the three men and one woman, the two men slowed down their pace and at the same time each pulled out a “five-shot” gun from his traveling bag, which was also a sawn-off barrel without a butt. The
two men jumped up to a middle-aged man and pulled the trigger. The target was shot five times and killed on the spot. It was Ma Laodun. After receiving the report, the
Public Security Bureau immediately sent people to the scene to collect human and material evidence. The next day, through the examination of bullet marks, the police concluded that the five bullets that killed Ma Laodun and the four bullets that entered Ding Xu’s body were fired from the same two guns. The Shijiazhuang Public Security Bureau decided to investigate the case together with the 719 shooting case. The social background of the deceased in the
two cases is complicated, and both have an unclear relationship with the underworld. Xu Zhenxia, then deputy director of the Shijiazhuang Public Security Bureau, believed that in both shootings, the gunman directly shot the vital parts. It was clear that he wanted to kill people, leaving no survivors. It can be seen that the murderer must have a deep hatred with the deceased, and the time of enmity should not be too long, otherwise he would have taken revenge long ago. So the police started with the people who had enmity with both Ding Xu and Ma Laodun.
At this time, Sun Dahong saw that two people had died and dared not come out. He fled to Guangzhou with his wife and several younger brothers. First, he was hiding from Zhang Baolin, and second, he was hiding from the police.
The police investigated and gradually targeted Zhang Baolin, so they investigated and interrogated Zhang Baolin’s former younger brother one by one. Since he went to Guangzhou more than two years ago, many of his former younger brothers did not know that he had come back and were still confused when he was found by the police. However, although some people did not see Zhang Baolin, they could also guess that he was back, such as Hao Yi.
At this time, Hao Yi had long heard of the death of Ding Xu and Ma Laodun, and naturally linked their deaths with Zhang Baoyi’s injuries. Since Zhang Baolin fled to Guangzhou, they have not met, only occasionally make a phone call, Hao Yi learned from Zhang Baolin’s words that he had two more helpers and a mistress, but he knew nothing about the identity of these three people. Even though the police found him later, they failed to get any useful clues. By this time,
Zhang Baolin already knew that the police were looking for him, and that the fewer people they knew about their whereabouts, the better, so he did not tell his former subordinates that he had come back, let alone that he had other people with him. But when he just came back, he let his mistress and Lu Wang go out separately and rent five houses, located in different directions of Shijiazhuang City, mostly in the junction of urban and rural areas, so that every time he was tracked by the police, he could change to different places to hide at any time. It’s not that
he doesn’t want to run, but he really can’t run. Since Ding Bang had a gunfight with people in the suburbs a few years ago, Shijiazhuang police have attached great importance to gun-related cases and have to solve them in any case. Now there are two major cases in succession, and the police dare not take it lightly. They have blocked the airport, the railway station, and various traffic arteries, and the traffic personnel have been carefully investigated one by one.
Zhang Baolin came back from Guangzhou with four mobile phones. In order to create the illusion that he was not in Shijiazhuang, he often took the initiative to call others. When the other party asked where he was, he would casually say a southern city.
To say that Zhang Baolin’s anti-investigation ability is very strong, but he finally lost to high technology. In
2000, through the investigation of Zhang Baolin’s younger brothers, the police obtained several of his mobile phone numbers, and then transferred the activity areas of these mobile phone numbers, and finally identified Zhang Baolin’s hiding place in the Weng Village area west of Shijiazhuang. Investigators disguised themselves as ordinary people in the name of renting a house. After investigation, they determined that Zhang Baolin was hiding in a residential building in Weng Village.
See here, I wonder if you think of a movie “mobile phone” more than ten years ago. Since the use of mobile phones, people’s whereabouts are no longer secret, especially in the process of case detection, high-tech has played a great supporting role. On the one hand, the
police quickly mobilized the police force to surround Weng Village from the outside to the inside, and on the other hand, they quietly evacuated the residents in that building to prevent accidental injury.
That day, Zhang Baolin and others were watching TV to pass the time when they suddenly heard a loudspeaker outside the window shouting: “We are the Shijiazhuang Public Security Bureau!”! Zhang Baolin, you are surrounded! Give yourself and your accomplices 15 minutes to surrender your weapons for leniency!
Zhang Baolin immediately ran to the window and lifted a small crack in the curtain to look out. There are several rows of cool houses in front of
his residential building. The so-called cool houses are small storage bungalows unique to northern cities in the early years, which are usually built in front of the building to store food or other sundries. Zhang Baolin looked down from the window on the third floor, just in time to see the armed policemen wearing helmets, camouflage uniforms, body armor and 81 automatic rifles on the roof of the cool house.
Zhang Baolin was silent. The loudspeaker
outside the window sounded again, repeating what had just been said. Zhang Baolin silently lit a cigarette. Wang Tianpeng and Lu Jinliang each lit a cigarette. After taking a big puff, they looked at Zhang Baolin. Although they regarded Zhang Baolin as a benefactor and carried out his orders unconditionally, they did not even blink when they took people’s lives, but when it was their turn to face the test of life and death, they were vague. Who wants to die under a gun?
For a moment, Zhang Baolin really wanted to pick up a gun to fight with the police, but when he thought of the five-shot shotguns under the bed, he felt guilty. Holding them to challenge the automatic rifles in the hands of the armed police, he was simply dying.
Wang Tianpeng and Lu Jinliang also saw the situation clearly at this time, and their eyes flashed the desire to survive. Next door came the cry of a woman, who was Zhang Baolin’s mistress, Lijun. Lijun thought, “It’s not a loss if these three men die under the gun of the police, but if she dies here, it’s not worth it. She didn’t participate in these things at all.”. As
time went by, Zhang Baolin lit another cigarette.
Fifteen minutes later, the armed police outside held their breath and prepared to obey the command of the scene and launch an attack. Suddenly, the target window on the third floor opened, and a shotgun was thrown out of the window and fell to the ground with a bang, followed by two more identical guns falling to the ground.
Zhang Baolin and others surrendered. The gunman who had
troubled the citizens of Shijiazhuang for many days was finally arrested. When the police of the special task force entered Zhang Baolin’s rented house, they found more than 100 rounds of ammunition, more than 20,000 yuan in cash, and 100,000 yuan in passbooks.
In the same year, Zhang Baolin, Lu Jinliang and Wang Tianpeng were sentenced to death and executed in 2001. Zhang Baolin did not know who attacked his brother until he died.
The past of Shijiazhuang is not over.
Time: 2002
Place: a hotel
in Shijiazhuang Victim: Hao Yiyuan
Sun Dahong, who was in Guangzhou, celebrated happily when he learned that Zhang Baolin had been shot, and then returned to Shijiazhuang to take revenge.
One night, Sun Ta-hung, leaning on crutches, led a group of people into a restaurant and fired nine shots at Hao Yi, who had beaten him into a cripple. Hao Yi died on the spot.
Rampant people will come to no good end. Two months later, Sun Dahong was arrested in Guilin, Guangxi. During the interrogation, the police learned that Zhang Baoyi had been seriously injured and that he was behind the two shootings committed by Zhang Baolin.
In this case, Zhang Baoyi, who was seriously injured, seemed to be a victim, but in fact he did a lot of illegal things. When he was a teenager, he was sentenced to re-education through labor twice for stealing. Later, he also participated in fights, but his brother was more popular in fighting and killing, so relatively speaking, he was much more “introverted” than his brother.
Zhang Baoyi
. After the death of
Zhang Baoyi
and Zhang Baolin, the third strike hard campaign in our country has come to an end, and most of the people who used to be prominent in the underworld have been brought to justice, which has left room for Zhang Baoyi’s development. He used his brother’s reputation to recruit a group of social idlers, forcibly occupied the consignment routes, built private parking lots, and charged high fees. In the past few years, Zhang Baoyi’s gang has killed ten people.
Zhang Baoyi divided his subordinates into different ranks, carried out corporate management, paid “salaries” according to different ranks, and rewarded or compensated those who made special contributions, that is, those who were arrested by the police or injured in the fight.
Therefore, Zhang Baoyi is much better than Zhang Baolin in the means of organizing crime.
But good prevails over evil, and crime can not escape the punishment of law after all. Because Zhang Baoyi’s gang has caused great harm to society, in 2006, Shijiazhuang police dispatched more than 400 police officers to arrest all members of Zhang Baoyi’s gang.
This case is known as the largest criminal case in Hebei Province since the founding of New China. In 2009, the main 10 members of the gang, including Zhang Baoyi, were sentenced to death and four were given suspended death sentences. It is rare for two
brothers to be shot several years apart. As we mentioned when we talked about Ma Laodun earlier, those hoodlums in those years either died on the street or went to prison. Unless they washed their hands, no matter how powerful you were, you would end up in a miserable end.
