In 1984, the country's economic level was still relatively low, and people everywhere often cut down on food and clothing because of the lack of materials. In this period of hard struggle for most people, there is a simple Beijing sweeping old woman who unexpectedly donated 2.4 billion yuan to the state.
Soon, her deeds caused a heated discussion. In the face of the discussion of the crowd, the old woman seemed particularly calm, claiming that she did not donate the money to get everyone's praise, she was just atonement.
The old woman's name was Geng Biyan, and her former husband, Zhao Xinbo, was a traitor who had done many hateful things.
Zhao Xinbo was an ambitious person when he was young, and in order to obtain a higher social status, he found an opportunity to join the Qing government's Janissaries and participated in many jobs as a guard.
At that time, the Qing government was on the verge of collapse, and Zhao Xinbo soon realized that the Qing government, which was about to perish, could not give him any chance, so he had the idea of joining the revolution and finding another way out.
Later, Zhao Xinbo, who had participated in revolutionary activities, was wanted for what he had done before.
Zhao Xinbo fled to another city to avoid punishment, and also relied on relatively special connections to blend into a certain department and became a teacher for some Japanese. In 1915, Zhao Xinbo was given the opportunity to study in Japan because of the sponsorship of his wife Wang Biyan.
It is worth mentioning that Wang Biyan was originally a dusty woman who sold art in the Qinglou, and when she met Zhao Xinbo, she was 30 years old. Zhao Xinbo, who was still studying at the Beijing Normal Higher School, somehow had contact with her.
After the two married, Wang Biyan took the money he had accumulated over the years to fund Zhao Xinbo's study abroad, and also followed him to Japan for thousands of miles.
After arriving in Japan as he wished, Zhao Xinbo actively studied various knowledge and also met some ambitious Japanese military cadres.
Zhao Xinboming knew that they were all ambitious people who were plotting against them, but he still contacted them with a thick face and provided them with a lot of information.
Relying on these subversive means, Zhao Xinbo won the favor of many Japanese officials and became their guest of honor.
With the passage of time, Zhao Xinbo's social circle in Japan has become wider and wider, and the spring breeze has been triumphant all day, looking quite dashing, but his wife Wang Biyan is getting more and more uncomfortable every day.
Just three years after arriving in Japan, Wang Biyan was killed by a disease because of uterine cancer. Subsequently, zhao Xinbo, under the banner of seeking justice for his wife, took the hospital responsible for diagnosing and treating Wang Biyan to court.
In 1925, Zhao Xinbo wrote a thesis centered on his previous lawsuit and received a doctorate in law.
After a while, Zhao Xinbo returned to the motherland. Perhaps not willing to be lonely, not long after returning to China, he entrusted people to publish a marriage notice in the newspaper.
At that time, Zhao Xinbo not only looked good, but also had the experience of studying in Japan, which was a very good young man with good talent. After his marriage announcement was released, he quickly attracted some young girls.
In the end, Zhao Xinbo chose Geng Weifu from the Dalian area. After the two married, Zhao Xinbo not only asked Geng Weifu to follow her husband's surname according to custom, but also forced her to change her name to "Biyan" and let her commemorate her deceased wife Wang Biyan instead of herself. I don't know whether Zhao Xinbo's behavior is affectionate or desperate.
In 1926, Because of the recommendation of Japanese officers, Zhao Xinbo went to work with the northeast warlord Zhang Zuolin, and Zhao Xinbo, who had become a hardcore traitor, was hated by many people.
Zhao Xinbo, who was already mad, did not take the hatred and accusations of his compatriots in his heart at all, and only wanted to take advantage of the relations of the Japanese and seek more benefits for himself.
Later, Zhao Xinbo, as one of the spokesmen of the Japanese army, openly participated in the work of puppet Manchukuo, and also relied on the support of the Japanese invaders to become a high-ranking official of puppet Manchukuo.
During his tenure, Zhao Xinbo wantonly plundered the people's fat and people's ointment, and later because of Puyi's suspicions, he was forced to resign his post and went to live in Japan. After arriving in Japan, Zhao Xinbo started a drug resale business.
At that time, the domestic situation was very turbulent, every time a battle broke out, many people would be injured or even killed, and a large number of medicines were needed in various regions, especially those for the treatment of wounds and first aid, which had been in short supply.
Zhao Xinbo relied on his personal connections to raise a large number of "penicillin", which was hot at the time and could be easily sold, and Zhao Xinbo soon relied on drug trafficking and earned a lot of money.
In 1939, Zhao Xinbo returned to China at the invitation of Kenji Doihara, a Japanese war criminal, and once again became a senior official of the puppet state of Manchukuo. After Zhao Xinbo returned to China, he once again used his power to wantonly squeeze the common people and earn a lot of money.
In 1943, Zhao Xinbo keenly discovered that the Japanese army did not have the strength to continue to run amok because of successive routs, and he knew that the Japanese army was doomed to rout and looked for an opportunity to leave the motherland and go to Japan.
Zhao Xinbo, who is familiar with the law, knows very well that most of the money in his hands is ill-gotten wealth and must be legalized through some special ways.
To achieve this goal, Zhao Xinbo spent money to buy a large number of properties, and found a person named Yanosuke Suzuki to help him notarize and manage the property. Zhao Xinbo knew that he had a special identity, and when he signed the agreement, he used the name of his wife Zhao Biyan.
After the end of the War of Resistance Against Japan, Zhao Xinbo, who was a traitor, was arrested and, after several years of struggle, died in prison.
Because Zhao Biyan did not want to cause trouble, he went to the government unit to change back to his original surname, and took the name of "Geng Biyan" to participate in various activities.
Geng Biyan originally thought of finding an opportunity to get back his property, but As a result, Yanosuke Suzuki directly denied her identity and refused to hand over the property management right because of her interests.
After losing this property, the situation of Geng Biyan's family took a sharp turn for the worse, and later she even fell to the point of sweeping the street.
Because of the changes of the times, the real estate purchased by Zhao Xinbo in that year was more and more valuable, and by the 1980s, it even appreciated to 3 billion.
This controversial huge amount of money soon attracted some unscrupulous scammers, and often people tried to impersonate Geng Biyan and take the money, but they did not succeed. Because the Japanese are not willing to hand over this money at all, every time someone comes to claim it, they will try to refuse it.
After the relevant departments learned of this matter, in order to recover this huge amount of money, they helped Geng Biyan's family to fight a lawsuit with Japan, and after many years of tossing, Geng Biyan got back his own property as he wished.
Because of his gratitude for the help of the state, Geng Biyan decided to spend 2.4 billion yuan to fund the development of the country and atone for the sins of her husband Zhao Xinbo. The children were particularly supportive of this decision and accompanied Geng Biyan to complete the donation.
Since then, the family has lived a relatively good life because of the remaining inheritance.
