Wen Liehong's record of the collapse of the criminal gang involved in the underworld
The bully who runs amok in the countryside
Wen Liehong was born in December 1969 in Minfu Village, Qiaoyi Town, Wangcheng District, Changsha. Because he was the third oldest among his brothers and sisters, people called him "Wen San Lingzi", which is also the reason why he was named "Wen San Ye" after he later mixed into the underworld. In 1997, Wen Liehong began to run amok in the township and dominate one side. Qiaoyi Town has also become a miasma because Wen Liehong has been opening casinos and gathering crowds to gamble for many years, and the local people have been forced by his obscenity and dare not speak out.
Wen Liehong's viciousness is not only for outsiders, but also for close relatives. His wife, because she could not bear her perennial domestic violence, once attempted suicide by taking poison; He had a verbal altercation with his old mother, and without a word, punched out 3 of her front teeth.
Although Wen Liehong lived in a villa and drove a luxury car, his parents, who were already cold, preferred to live in the family farming and scavenging for waste, rather than moving into the villa to live with him.
Wen Liehong's luxurious villa in Minfu Village, Qiaoyi Town, Wangcheng District, Changsha covers an area of nearly 30 acres.
Casino storm
Gambling is Wen Liehong's biggest hobby, and it is also the beginning of his crime. In addition to organizing others to gather for gambling, Wen Liehong also opened his own casino.
Due to his abundant capital, Wen Liehong is known as the "king of cash". In the casino he opened, all gamblers do not need to carry cash, and they provide chips from which to draw 5% profits. At the end of the hand, the winner directly exchanges the chips for cash; The loser only needs to give him an IOU, no interest will be accrued for 5 to 7 days, and the overdue interest will be calculated at a high interest rate. And Wen Liehong himself, in addition to asking his subordinates to open a room and pour water to do some service work, each time the "pumping" money alone has tens of millions, or even tens of millions.
As the "business" became bigger and bigger, Wen Liehong simply set up Wangcheng Shihu Construction Engineering Co., Ltd. in the name of his nephew to recruit a group of horses from Loudi, Huaihua and other parts of the province to collect accounts. "The money I lent out, you have to take it all back by any means and recklessly." Wen Liehong often gave instructions to his horsemen.
The "gangster boss" is in full swing
In and out of the Million Luxury Car, life is like dirt, in Macau, Singapore casinos throw thousands of dollars, often shouting and shouting, seeing other people's lives as grass and mustard... These gangster images, which can only be seen in foreign and Hong Kong film and television dramas, have staged a realistic version of Wen Liehong and his criminal gangs.
After nearly 20 years of evil growth, Wen Liehong's triad-related criminal gang has formed a strict organizational structure, a stable team of members, an agreed gang rule, and strong economic strength, becoming a typical mafia-related organization with great harm. Severe punishment of traitors, rewards for meritorious deeds, one-line contact, all-inclusive food and accommodation... Through a series of gang rules and regulations, Wen Liehong's criminal gang involved in the mafia gradually gained momentum. In addition, Wen Liehong also hired underground teams from Changsha's "underground police team" and Changde to carry out related criminal activities for himself.

From the perspective of means, the members of the organization were fierce in the process of committing crimes, resulting in many deaths and injuries. Through illegal detention, picking quarrels and provoking trouble, and violent killing, it forms a deterrent in society. Relying on this team of thugs under his hand, Wen Liehong opened up the road of wealth with blood, raised black with business, and protected business with black, and the "business" was done smoothly, and capital was also rolling bigger and bigger like a snowball.
Accused by "friends" The outlaws are malicious
As early as the beginning of this century, Wen Liehong and Zhang Mou called each other brothers and brothers. Zhang Mou has a number of industries and a solid family foundation, but he also has the vice of gambling. Wen Liehong seized on this weakness of Zhang, and the two quickly changed from friends to card friends, and from card friends to project partners. From 2010 to 2015 in just a few years, whether it was gambling or real estate development, Zhang Mou had borrowed nearly 1.1 billion yuan of usurious loans in the hands of Wen Liehong, and even repaid more than 1.9 billion yuan with principal and interest. However, according to Wen Liehong's calculation method, Zhang still owes him more than 400 million yuan in principal.
Overdue high penalty interest, only allowed to repay interest, not allowed to repay the principal, forced real estate... With this "cash machine", Wen Liehong is like an ant, dead to death to bite Zhang Mou and keep "sucking blood". In May 2014, Zhang Mou, who was forced to be helpless, could only write a letter to the relevant parties to accuse Wen Liehong of his illegal and criminal acts.
Although Wen Liehong later reached a settlement with Zhang and signed a new debt agreement after many operations, he could swallow this evil breath, so he asked Ma Zai to "cut off Zhang's hands and feet, as long as he doesn't kill people." ”
Amazingly, during Zhang's slashing and hospitalization, Wen Liehong also went to the hospital as a friend to visit. Apparently, the purpose of the visit was not to care about whether the friend's injuries had recovered, but to check whether his horse was cut in place. After coming out of the hospital, Wen Liehong, who was fierce and fierce, even thought of "mending the knife" and asked people to go to the hospital to cut again, and the arrogance was evident.
On February 28, 2017, Wen Liehong was arrested by the police for the first time. On the same day, Wen Liehong's Ma Zaishu, She, Gong and others were netted. The public security organs in Changsha, Changde, and other places have attacked separately and swept away the Changsha "underground police force" and the Changde underground gang, which are closely linked to Wen Liehong's criminal gangs involved in organized crime.
Under the fierce pursuit of the political and legal organs, a series of cases have surfaced one after another. According to preliminary statistics, the amount involved in Wen Liehong's mafia-related criminal gang is as high as more than 1.5 billion yuan, of which more than 40 million yuan of stolen money has been recovered overseas; More than 300 people involved in the gang and other relevant personnel arrested by the public security organs due to the extension of the Wen Liehong case have reached more than 300.
