One autumn in 1963, in a small alley in Beijing, a car came in, and three cadre-like people stepped down from the car, and the three people with serious expressions walked to an ordinary courtyard, pushed open the courtyard door, and saw an old woman doing manual work.
When the old man saw the three cadres, there was obvious panic on his face, and he couldn't help but grasp the thread in his hand
He asked tentatively, "Who are you?" The middle-aged man at the head, seeing the old man's reaction, secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
It seems that she is the person we are looking for.
The middle-aged man stepped forward and asked kindly:
"Are you Geng Biyan?" That is, Zhao Biyan at that time. ”
The old man nodded in panic, and the man continued:
"Don't be afraid, Zhao Xinbo's crime has nothing to do with you, we are here to help you recover the real estate that your husband left in Japan in your name."
Seeing this, everyone can't help but wonder,
Who is this man, who is the old man, what is the relationship with this Zhao Xinbo, and what is this real estate?
To find out all this, we must start with a person named Zhao Xinbo
。
Study abroad in Toyo
In 1890, in Wanping, Hebei Province, a boy named Zhao Xinbo was born, and Zhao Xinbo was very intelligent since he was a child, and he read well. The young Zhao Xinbo entered the Qing government's Janissaries and served as one
Janissaries guards
And later admitted
Tianjin Beiyang University
Learn. Shortly after the outbreak of the Xinhai Revolution, Zhao Xinbo entered the Beijing Civilization New Theater Troupe and became a Danjiao actor, during which time Zhao Xinbo also joined the Kuomintang and threw himself into the revolution.
Zhao Xinbo
In 1913, Zhao Xinbo participated in the vigorous Second Revolution with great ambition.
Seeing this, Zhao Xinbo seems to be a young man who cares about the country and has the courage to fight for the revolution.
But that's where the twist begins.
After the failure of the second revolution, Zhao Xinbo fled to Dalian and changed his name
Liu Xiaoyi
He served as a Chinese teacher for the Japanese. In 1915, the Japanese Chinese teacher began his study abroad experience in Japan.
During his study in Japan, Zhao Xinbo became acquainted with those who were notorious in the later invasion of China
Kenji Toihara
and
Seishiro Itatsune
Waited for the Officers of the Japanese Army's Qingzhuang Faction and formed a "deep" friendship with these people.
This young man, who once cared about the country and made positive progress, has since gone farther and farther away from the country, and for the sake of his own fame and fortune, step by step, he has gone down to degeneration and to a road of no return of betraying the country and seeking glory.
Traitor career
In 1926, Zhao Xinbo returned from studying and returned to China, and under the "strong recommendation" of the military attaché of the Japanese Legation in China, Zhao Xinbo was appointed by Zhang Zuolin
Legal Adviser to the Security Command of the Three Eastern Provinces.
Soon, Zhao Xinbo relied on his cunning means to serve as a member of the Treaty Amendment Committee of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Beijing government.
After the Huanggutun Incident, Zhang Zuolin was killed, and Zhao Xinbo also lost his political support. After Zhang Xueliang came to power, Zhao Xinbo tried his best to persuade Zhang Xueliang, hoping that Zhang Xueliang could provide him with political support, and under Zhao Xinbo's constant request, Zhang Xueliang was overwhelmed with annoyance and funded him to establish it
Northeast Law Research Association
, let Zhao Xinbo serve as the president. However, Zhao Xinbo was well-known for safeguarding the interests of the Japanese at every turn
Japanophile
After the outbreak of the 918 Incident, which shocked China and foreign countries, the three eastern provinces fell, and Zhao Xinbo, as a Chinese, did not think about how to save his life and resist the invasion of foreign enemies, but instead established a relationship with the traitor Yuan Jinjiao
"Liaoning Provincial Local Maintenance Committee"
, issued what he called the Declaration of Independence.
Even the "national name" of "Manchukuo" and the change of Changchun to "Xinjing" were Zhao Xinbo's ideas, and Zhao Xinbo was also known as the "midwife of pseudo-Manchukuo".
Zhao Xinbo, with his "meritorious service" for doing things for the Japanese for many years, soon succeeded Kenji Doihara as "successful"
The pseudo-mayor of Fengtian
In order to win the favor in front of the Japanese, Zhao Xinbo did everything he could to betray the interests of the Chinese nation.
In March 1932, the puppet state of Manchukuo was established, and Zhao Xinbo served as the first president of the Legislative Yuan.
In October 1934, the legislative yuan stopped functioning, and was ready to downgrade and reorganize the secretariat hall, and Zhao Xinbo resigned.
In September 1937, Zhao Xinbo was appointed as an advisor to the Inner Government, and soon after being charged with embezzlement, he resigned and led his family to live in Japan.
In 1939, Zhao Xinbo returned to Beiping and served as legal adviser to the pseudo-North China Political Affairs Committee.
There is reincarnation in the Heavenly Dao, good and evil will eventually be rewarded, and when the traitor is doomed, there will be no good end!
In 1945, after the victory of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, Zhao Xinbo was convicted of adultery; after his arrest, Zhao Xinbo was imprisoned at that time
The first prison in Peiping
village.
At that time, the international community was interrogating important war criminals in World War II, because Japan had committed heinous crimes against our country, and naturally it was difficult to escape the trial of international law, and in order to gather evidence, the Kuomintang government at that time demanded that war criminals who had been arrested and taken into custody be arrested, and the traitors wrote down the crimes they had committed and the relevant materials of Japan's invasion of China.
But when China elects the chief justice
Ni Zhengyi
Returning to China to collect materials, Zhao Xinbo, a big traitor, refused to hand over the relevant materials, and what was even more infuriating was that Zhao Xinbo even threw the materials he had already written into the furnace and burned them. Why did Zhao Xinbo rebel and burn the data? Originally
Zhao Xinbo was entrusted with the news: the Japanese are not finished, there is still a chance, you can still make a comeback.
Hateful, hateful, really hateful, like Zhao Xinbo, who for his own interests, does not hesitate to betray the country for glory, and is a hardcore traitor who is stubbornly attached to the Japanese invaders, he deserves to bear the infamy that he cannot wash away in his lifetime.
Later, because the Kuomintang was deeply involved in the Liberation War and could not take care of itself, it relaxed the detention of these traitors, and was actually released from prison by Zhao Xinbo with a gold bar to bribe the prison guards.
But how could someone as sinful as Zhao Xinbo escape judgment?
Because Zhao Xinbo did not want to settle in Japan, coupled with Zhao Xinbo's deceased wife
Wang Biyan
Before his death, he asked that he must be buried in China, so on the eve of the victory of the Liberation War, Zhao Xinbo returned to China with his whole family. This time, Zhao Xinbo did not have such good luck as before, and when Zhao Xinbo returned to China, he was quickly arrested, waiting for the people and waiting for the state to judge him.
On July 20, 1951, the Beijing Municipal People's Public Security Bureau summoned Zhao Xinbo in accordance with the law
After all, Zhao Xinbo had self-knowledge, knew that his sins were so deep that he could not escape the people's trial of him, and could not escape the state's trial of him, so when Zhao Xinbo was summoned, he was furious, his blood pressure soared, and he died suddenly in the detention center.
Zhao Xinbo was originally also a new young man who was concerned about the country and had the ambition to save the country, but it was precisely because Zhao Xinbo's will was not firm that he could not resist the corrosion of Japanese militarism on his ideology, let alone resist his selfish desires, and eventually he degenerated step by step, and went farther and farther on the road of no return of the traitor, and the traitorous behavior like Zhao Xinbo will forever be despised by people.
Huge legacy
Zhao Xinbo not only betrayed the country and sought glory politically, but was extremely hateful, but also unscrupulous in making money and greedy for money.
When he was an official in the puppet state of Manchukuo, Zhao Xinbo took advantage of his position to take advantage of his position, exploit the poor people, squeeze the people's fat and paste, and "accumulate" a large amount of wealth. Later, after Zhao Xinbo was forced to resign and return to Japan, he took a fancy to the Western medicine business, so Zhao Xinbo relied on his interpersonal relations in Japan to sell Western medicine and made a war fortune.
When the War of Liberation was about to be won, Zhao Xinbo returned to Japan with his wife and children to deal with his property in Japan. During that time, Zhao Xinbo went crazy to buy real estate and bought a large number of real estate.
The person in the circle of red in the picture is Zhao Xinbo
The property appreciated dramatically in the 1980s, eventually reaching 3 billion yen.
Such a huge inheritance naturally caused the crooked thoughts of many celebrities and profits.
Before Zhao Xinbo left Japan, he had delivered his property left in Japan to a man named Zhao
Yanosuke Suzuki
Of the Japanese to take care of. Because after the founding of New China, Zhao Xinbo was arrested, and most of the so-called Zhao family members fell and scattered, forgetting the huge wealth that Zhao Xinbo left in Japan. In the face of the test of interests, the ugliness of human nature is often exposed. As a result of guarding such a large amount of wealth for a long time, Yanosuke Suzuki gradually began to think crookedly, and always tried to put this wealth into his own throughout the day.
First of all, Suzuki Yanosuke first went around inquiring about the whereabouts of the Zhao family, and when he learned that Zhao Xinbo had died, Suzuki Yanosuke was immediately ecstatic, and then forged a suicide note of Zhao Xinbo, that is—
"After Zhao Xinbo's death, the property belonged to Yainosuke Suzuki"
, ready to embezzle this huge inheritance.
He also joined forces with the japanese and Korean underworlds to forcibly lease and remodel the properties.
And the good drama begins here:
After World War II, Japan's economy developed rapidly, and when the Japanese government conducted a registration review of housing and real estate, it was found that there were a large number of uninhabited houses and real estates, and these properties were all called in one place
Zhao Biyan
woman in the name of the woman. From here, the plot also began to develop dramatically.
Isn't the legacy Zhao Xinbo's? Isn't it in Yayuki Suzuki's assistant? Who is this Zhao Biyan? Why is Zhao Xinbo's legacy in her name? All this also started from Zhao Xinbo's absurd marriage.
Ridiculous marriage
On an ordinary day, Wang Biyan suddenly came to be interested in wanting to go to the theater garden to listen to the play, and at this time, Zhao Xinbo was nervous and ready to appear on stage.
Zhao Xinbo's family is group photo in Japan
On the stage, Zhao Xinbo shined, wang Biyan couldn't help but secretly xu Fangxin for this Danjiao, "This little student sings well, and I don't know what kind of person he is" When Wang Biyan was thinking to himself, Zhao Xinbo was also deeply attracted by Wang Biyan under the stage, "I have not seen such a good-looking person, just like a god." But Zhao Xinbo also knew that he was very far away from her, so he could only hide this love in his heart.
After the end of the play, Wang Biyan could not resist his own heart, ran to the backstage to find Zhao Xinbo, and Zhao Xinbo was also fascinated by Wang Biyan, and the two quickly fell in love.
In 1915, Zhao Xinbo wanted to study in Japan, in order to be able to accompany Zhao Xinbo all the time, Wang Biyan asked to follow Zhao Xinbo and bear the cost of Zhao Xinbo, and during the two in Japan, the feelings became deeper and deeper, but the good times did not last long. In 1921, Wang Biyan was operating in the hospital for uterine fibroids, and Zhao Xinbo anxiously waited for Wang Biyan's news outside the operating room, but in the end he received the bad news of Wang Biyan's death.
Wang Biyan died, on the operating table.
The grief-stricken Zhao Xinbo started a lawsuit with the hospital, but Zhao Xinbo eventually lost the case.
In 1921, after Zhao Xinbo returned to China, he posted a marriage proposal notice, which attracted Zhao Xinbo's sister Zhao Huimin's classmates.
Geng Weifu
When Geng Weifu met Zhao Xinbo, he was quickly attracted to Zhao Xinbo, a little girl who was not deeply involved in the world and did not understand the society, where could she resist Zhao Xinbo, who had participated in the revolution and had studied abroad.
Therefore, in June of the same year, Geng Weifu, who had never been in the world, married Zhao Xinbo, who had recently lost his wife, with a beautiful vision of love.
At this moment, a rare absurdity occurred- Zhao Xinbo and Geng Weifu agreed on the three chapters:
First: Divorce must never be granted.
Second: Geng Weifu should accompany Zhao Xinbo to Japan.
Third: Geng Weifu wanted to change the name of Zhao Xinbo's late wife, Wang Biyan, and asked Geng Weifu to change his surname to Zhao with his surname. Renamed Zhao Biyan.
The first two Geng Weifu agree, but the third article is really too much, just marrying a person, but also to change their own name, and to change the name of their husband's deceased wife, then what is they? A substitute for Wang Biyan? For this reason, Geng Weifu was sad for a long time, how could someone he really like just think of himself as a substitute for others?
However, the young and ignorant Geng Weifu was ultimately unable to defeat Zhao Xinbo's soft and hard bubbles, and Geng Weifu was extremely fond of Zhao Xinbo, and finally agreed.
But this caused strong opposition from the Geng family, the Geng family at that time can also be regarded as a large family on the rich side, the Geng family's Qianjin actually wanted to marry a man who had just lost his wife, and the man also asked Geng Weifu to change his name to the name of his late wife, which was a great shame for the Geng family, so the Geng family strongly opposed this family affair.
However, Geng Weifu, who was obsessed with the fantasy of beautiful love, still ignored the strong opposition of his family, agreed to all the requests of Zhao Xinbo, and insisted on marrying Zhao Xinbo.
Because the Geng family strongly opposed this family affair, on the day of Geng Weifu's marriage, no one from the Geng family came to send relatives, and Geng Weifu's marriage from a large family was particularly cold.
Since then, Geng Weifu changed his name to Zhao Biyan and became a substitute for Wang Biyan in Zhao Xinbo's heart.
On the other hand, Zhao Xinbo, who had just lost his wife, married a new wife, and after marrying a new wife, he also asked his wife to change his name to his ex-wife, and he really didn't know whether to praise his infatuation or mock him for his widowhood.
A few years later, the traitor Zhao Xinbo died in the detention center, in order to break off relations with the traitor's husband, Zhao Biyan changed back to his original name ——
Geng Weifu.
At that time, Geng Weifu also became an ordinary aunt sweeping the street in New China, she was no longer the gorgeous girl of the past, the girl who was full of yearning for the future; now she was just an aunt sweeping the street, without the once moving appearance, without the love of the family and the carefree life of food and clothing, some were just rough and wrinkled skin, inconvenient legs and feet and the vicissitudes of running for livelihood, and all ordinary Beijing citizens in New China, living in obscurity.
The battle for heritage
But life will not always be so smooth, when Geng Weifu diligently sweeps the street, Japan, which is far overseas, has set off a huge inheritance dispute closely related to Geng Weifu's family.
While Yanosuke Suzuki was eyeing his legacy, a variety of things sprang up in Taiwan, Hong Kong, Singapore, Malaysia and other places
"Zhao Family"
There are those who claim to be Zhao Xinbo's son-in-law, some who claim to be Zhao Xinbo's son, and some who claim to be Zhao Xinbo's widow, and all kinds of cattle, ghosts, and snake gods have appeared on the scene.
Zhao Biyan and son Zhao Zongyang
The most jaw-dropping thing is that a Hong Konger who claims to be Zhao Zongyang, the son of Zhao Xinbo, actually blinded his left eye (Zhao Zongyang was blind in his left eye due to childhood illness) in order to impersonate Zhao Zongyang, and was finally recognized by the Japanese police.
Among all the people who do everything for money, a liar appears,
And this liar is the key to ending this farce.
China strikes
On another busy day, the Japanese police discovered a swindler posing as a relative of Zhao Xinbo, and after his identity was discovered by the police, in order to atone for his crimes, he reported an important piece of information to Chen Kunwang, president of the Chinese Overseas Chinese Association in Japan:
Zhao Biyan is still alive!
Chen Kunwang, who heard about this matter, immediately realized the importance of this matter and immediately reported the matter to him
Comrade Liao Chengzhi, who was then the director of the Overseas Chinese Affairs Committee of the State Council
Liao Chengzhi reported the matter to the main leaders of the country at that time.
From this point on, China finally struck.
So there was the scene at the beginning of our time, Liao Chengzhi and two young comrades found Geng Weifu, who was still sweeping the street at that time.
He said that the Chinese government will definitely regain the property belonging to our Chinese people for her.
First of all, Liao Chengzhi first sent someone to find Yainosuke Suzuki, saying that since Zhao Biyan was still alive, he should return the property. It is infuriating that Yainosuke Suzuki has denied that Zhao Biyan is the client of this property in order to continue to occupy this property.
Well, since it doesn't make sense to discuss it well, let's see you in court!
At this time, the press throughout Japan and even the whole of Asia became interested in the matter, and the major media successively interviewed and reported on the matter.
At first, Zhao Biyan's family did not dare to face people because of their status as traitors, but with the strong encouragement and support of the Chinese government, Zhao Biyan finally went to Japan and stood in the Japanese court.
In the spring of 1976, 76-year-old Zhao Biyan attended the courtroom.
The Japanese judge asked:
"Did you know that tokyo residences have a vault of treasure?"
Zhao Biyan:
"I dug it, I buried it, can I not know it?"
Japanese Judges:
"How do you prove that you buried it, how big is the vault, what is hidden, what shape?"
"I don't understand, there is gold, my jewelry, jewelry, securities, land titles, house deeds..."
Even though the Japanese judge has fully affirmed in his heart the identity of Zhao Biyan as Zhao Xinbo's widow, unfortunately Zhao Biyan once burned a large amount of materials in order to get rid of the identity of a traitor, including various land deeds, house deeds, and various materials related to Zhao Xinbo... In the end, Because of insufficient evidence, Zhao Biyan lost the case.
Zhao Biyan (center) Zhao Zongyang (left) talks with fu zhiren, a lawyer they hired
Since the evidence is insufficient, then search for evidence, Chinese never bow to the difficulty!
First of all, the Chinese government arranged for Puyi's sister -
Love Xinjue Luo Yunying
In the meeting with Zhao Biyan, Puyi's sister personally affirmed Zhao Biyan's identity.
Secondly, Zhao Zongyang published a "search notice" in a Japanese newspaper, which was to find students who were studying at Akabane Elementary School in Japan. This enabled Zhao Zongyang to find 11 Japanese elementary school classmates at once, and now he has witnesses.
Finally, the Chinese government renewed its demand that the Japanese side hold a retrial.
In April 1984, the Tokyo Family Court reopened the Zhao Biyan property case, and because Zhao Biyan was old at this time, his son Zhao Zongyang appeared in court on his behalf.
Because the Evidence prepared by the Chinese side was sufficient, on September 7, 1984, the Japanese court finally rendered a judgment:
All of Zhao Xinbo's property left in the Zhao family in Japan belonged to Zhao Biyan.
Since then, this transnational huge inheritance dispute case, which has lasted for more than 20 years, has finally come to an end.
Disposition of the estate
The 84-year-old Zhao Biyan never expected that in her lifetime, she could even regain her own property with the support of the Chinese government, and after experiencing the vicissitudes of the world, the magnificent Miss Zhao had become an ordinary old aunt sweeping the streets in beijing's hutongs.
When he wanted to return this property worth three billion, Zhao Biyan said to the people in the family: This money was obtained by your grandfather when he was a traitor to oppress the people, we absolutely cannot ask for it, I am ready to donate most of the inheritance to your grandfather to atone for his sins
And her decision was also agreed by her family, and after getting a huge inheritance, Zhao Biyan was
80% of the inheritance was donated to the state, and the remaining 600 million yuan was donated to the education and medical cause in northeast China.
Zhao Zongyang (left)
Zhao Biyan donated three billion yuan to atone for her husband's sins, which is both lamentable and admirable. Zhao Xinbo, as a notorious traitor during the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, was not only a smear on individuals and his relatives, but also a smear on the Chinese nation; such a person not only did not step forward at the most urgent and dangerous moment of the motherland but chose to betray the interests of his motherland, and wagged his tail and begged for mercy on the aggressors, which was really hateful and hateful.
Zhao Xinbo finally degenerated from a young man full of ambition into a generation of traitors, and his life cannot be said to be undeplorable, and the young man who participated in the revolution and served the motherland finally changed his mind and became the person he hated at that time after the impact of the chaotic world of the Republic of China. The three billion yuan donated by Zhao Biyan in his later years can also be regarded as the atonement for his deep sins.
