Zhang was a famous informer in Beijing and Tianjin at that time. The common people privately say that this man is flying over the eaves and walking on the wall, down-to-earth If it weren't for the later rise of Li San, the swallow, I'm afraid he was the most famous snitch. Zhang specializes in stealing money from rich people in the city, never letting go. He has never been found, and there is nothing to say about his appearance. I know that if I can catch Zhang, his chance to get ahead will come. Therefore, from the day he became a detective, he began to visit carefully. According to the informant's tip-off, it was learned that after committing the crime, Zhang would pawn the goods in several pawn shops in exchange for cash, and he never cared about the pawn price, so several pawn shops also benefited from it. After learning about this, Yang Yide found the shopkeepers of these pawn shops, and used both hard and soft methods to get the shopkeepers to agree to cooperate with him.

One morning, a big family reported to the detective that their home was stolen last night and provided the characteristics of the stolen gold ornaments. Yang Yide did not neglect, and immediately sent someone to secretly notify several pawn shops. If someone pawns, he must delay reporting the case. Day after day passed, but nothing happened. Several policemen in Yang Yide are very anxious, but Yang Yide is very calm. He wears plain clothes and goes out to play every day. On the third night, Yang Yide suddenly returned to the detective's office and asked his men to prepare ropes and pistols. A little later, a pawnbroker rushed in, whispered a few words in Yang Yide's ear, and then turned away. "Copy the guy, let's go."

Beneath the counter of Renyi pawnshop stood a young man, thin and capable, but with small eyes. He urged the shopkeeper to give money quickly, while looking out of the corner of his eye. Just as the shopkeeper handed the pawn ticket and cash to the young man, a hard guy stood at the young man's waist. "Zhang, you think our buddy is broken, let's go back and talk it over!" Yang Yide said proudly. Before the young man could react, several ropes tied him firmly.

"Yang Bangzi caught Zhang!" "What is it? Zhang was caught by a gangster? Yang Bangzi is ok! " At that time, Yang Yide became a topic of discussion in Tianjin streets.

Zhang was taken to the detective room. At first, he tried to deny that he was Zhang, but when he saw several pawnbrokers coming in to identify him, he confessed. Zhang has no other criminal record except theft. He only lives on his own light theft, and his crime is not fatal. Ask Zhang tentatively: "If the court welcomes you, will you?" "My Lord, if you want to be a villain, the villain will help you." Seeing his sincere attitude and knowing that he was not subject to the consequences of wooing, Zhang immediately promised to come down.

The news of Yang Yide's capture of the Snitch remained warm, and the news that the Snitch was taken into custody came up again, which immediately caused a sensation in Tianjin. Tang, an official of Tianjin Customs, immediately reported the matter to Yuan Shikai. I was overjoyed and told (also called "Yang" at that time). Yuan Shikai asked, "What is your fame?" Yang replied, "No."Yuan said, "You have no foundation for fame and fortune. How can I guarantee you to be an official?" At this moment, Yang had a brainwave and said, "My brother donated a Tongzhi title." Yuan said, "Then you can borrow it and change its name." The two brothers changed their names, and Yang really became one. After Yuan Shikai's guarantee, Yang Yide was appointed as a local official and began his career.

Later, Yang Yide married Ning Xingpu, a Tianjin businessman, and Yang Yide's daughter married Ning Xingpu's grandson. The two families are very close. Therefore, the old man Wei Jincheng, who is related to Ning Xingpu, has heard about Yang Yide. Wei Jincheng told reporters: "According to the old people, after persuading Zhang, he was highly valued, and Zhang also cracked many major cases. But as a Jianghu person, it has always been a taboo for Jianghu people to turn to the government for help and arrest Jianghu people. Zhang was threatened by some Jianghu people. In desperation, Zhang had to resign. When expressing doubts about this, Zhang took out a pack of lime from his pocket, sprinkled it in his eyes and rubbed his eyes on the spot to show his determination to quit the rivers and lakes. "

The "hooligans" at Tianjin Wharf are a chronic disease in the old Tianjin market, which has not been solved for a long time. Before the Boxer Rebellion, it was not only common for gangsters to fight and make trouble, but also a street scene that made local officials miserable. Fighting hooligans bring them to class. If they are fighting, they will lie on the ground and ask the officers to greet them. They will never hum. After the fight, some hooligans even cheered and asked the master to fight again. The master in the class is at a loss. It is said that once a 12-year-old punk was beaten to pieces in class and laughed his head off after class. The gang atmosphere in Tianjin is so strong that the police can't avoid it.

Wei Jincheng said that after Yang Yide became famous, his official position continued to improve. 1906, Yang Yide was appointed as the general manager of the Tourism Bureau. In the first year of Jian 'an (1909), Beiyang Garrison was established in Tianjin, with the director of Yang Ren Garrison. During this period, Yang Yide used a "very cool" trick to suppress the arrogance of Tianjin gangsters.

When others catch criminals, they always torture them, but Yang Yide never does. His method is to catch criminals without beating or cursing, and only let them drill prostitutes' crotch. Gangsters are too proud to drill; If you don't drill, drill the "vertical cage". Yang Bangzi's cage design is different. People stand inside, their toes just hit the ground, and they can't eat much. This man won't die for a while, and in the end, except for a few powerful ones, most of them are too tired to beg for mercy to drill the crotch of prostitutes. Anyone who has drilled through a prostitute's crotch is no longer qualified to be a gangster, so he has to wash his hands of it and quit the ranks of gangsters.

In the early years of the Republic of China, Yang Yide served as director of Zhili Provincial Police Department and Tianjin Police Department, director of Beiyanghang Business Department, director of Tianjin Industrial Governor's Donation Department and director of Tianjin Engineering Department. Yuan Shikai once made him a general in the general office, and later he was promoted to a general in Dewei. In March of lunar calendar 19 18, Gao killed his wife in Gao Jiagou Zhuang, Qingtuoying Township, Luanzhou (now Luannan, Hebei). Yang Sanjie, the victim's sister, vindicated her sister in Tianjin, and Yang Yide once again became the protagonist in the play.

After the case happened, Yang Sanjie had nowhere to appeal in Luanzhou, so he had to appeal to Tianjin Supreme People's Procuratorate. Accompanied by lawyer Xu Hanchuan, Yang Sanjie met with police chief Yang Yide. Yang Sanjie complained to Yang Yide. A few days later, Yang Yide decided to take someone to the scene to open the coffin for autopsy. After the news of the autopsy spread, dozens of people came to watch it in Fiona Fang. Tianjin police came to live in Gao Jiagou Zhuang Ancestral Temple. The gaos thought panicked and took away thousands of oceans with the intention of bribing. However, Yang Yide hesitated for a long time, thinking that this incident caused a sensation among the people and did not dare to accept bribes. He decided to open the coffin for inspection. 19 19, on the second day of the seventh lunar month, officials of Tianjin High Procuratorate set up a arbor in Gaojia cemetery and prepared an iron pot to hold wine for disinfection. The crowd of onlookers was a sea of people, and the police kept order with whips. As a result of the examination, a sharp knife was taken out from Yang Er's sister's vagina, and her trousers were filled with white lime to stop bleeding, which proved that Yang Er's sister was murdered, not a "blood collapse" as the Gaos thought. Yang Yide was so angry that he immediately slapped the judge in Luanzhou and dismissed him.

I took Gao to Tianjin, but I postponed the judgment. A few months later, Gao was hanged. Tianjin Daily 19 19 10 06 "Local News" column reads: "Gao killed his wife in Luanxian County and was sentenced to death by the High Court." It is said that before the implementation, Yang Yide also accepted the benefits of Gaos thought, but because things were too difficult, he finally didn't dare to let go. At the beginning of March, 1920, the school started, and Zhou Enlai proposed to take this opportunity to ask the police authorities for probation and study. Yang Yide came out and said, "It doesn't matter to study. You can make a list of books. " So, everyone opened a big book list. Yang Yide was anxious when he saw it. He said angrily, "You have committed a crime. Do you still want to open a library here? " At the end of March of the same year, everyone suggested that the students had been detained for two months and demanded that they be sent to the court for trial immediately, otherwise they would go on hunger strike. Yang refused, and the arrested people began a hunger strike on April 2. On April 6th, Yang Yide was forced to release six people, and the rest were sent to Tianjin District Procuratorate and released in the same year.

Yang Yide was in charge of Tianjin police 15 years, which was the period of warlord scuffle, and Beijing and Tianjin were the battlegrounds of various factions. After dealing with warlord leaders for many years, Yang Yide can be said to be firmly seated in Diaoyutai. 1922 during the first direct service war, in order to please Cao Kun and Wu, Yang led the armed security guards to disarm Zhang Guard. In the same year, Xu Shichang was forced to step down. He was ordered by Cao and Wu to send Li back to Beijing as president, and once called gentry and businessmen to warmly welcome him. When Cao Kun succeeded in bribing the President on 1923 and Li was forced to leave Beijing, he accompanied the Governor Wang of Zhili to Yangcun Station, stopped Li and forced Li to hand over the President's seal. 1924 after the second straight service, Cao and Wu were defeated, Zhang entered the customs, Duan was in power, and Yang was thick-skinned, holding up a piece while taking pictures. Instead of losing his official position, he was promoted to the governor of Zhili, and he was also the police chief of the whole province and the police chief of Tianjin.

At that time, someone drew up a couplet for the play, saying, "I recommend one person specially, and the official will be added;" The four dimensions of courtesy, justice and shame are not shameful. " After Yang was promoted to the governor, he was already a big official, but he was still not satisfied. He also wanted to take this lucrative job in Tianjin County into his own hands, so he recommended Bai Zhenyong, the judicial director of the police department, to take this position. Zhang Renle, the county magistrate of Tianjin at that time, was a descendant of Zhang Zhidong, and Zhang's nephew was Zhang's aide. When Yang sent Bai Zhenyong to pick him up, he was rejected by Zhang Renle, saying that he had to ask the provincial supervisor Li to hand over. Yang Sui sent a squadron of public security team to surround the county government, intending to forcibly take it into custody. Zhang Renle telegraphed Li about this situation, and Li immediately sent a security team to surround it. Even, almost bleeding, Yang Yide saw something bad and was forced to compromise. Soon, Zhang informed Duan that he had been removed from his post. Since then, Yang has retired from the political arena. After the July 7th Incident, the Japanese army occupied Tianjin. The Japanese tried to pull him out as a puppet mayor, but Yang couldn't refuse. He died in Tianjin from 65438 to 0944.

He and Wang Zhanyuan, Bao Guiqing, Chen Guangyuan, Ning Xingpu and others set up four new real estate companies. In addition to making profits from renting real estate, Yang also made other investments. It is estimated that Yang Yide's property is about 5 million pounds. During my tenure, I did some public welfare undertakings for Tianjin, such as collecting money for 19 17 Tianjin flood, collecting money for 1920 victims who flowed into Tianjin due to drought, running schools for the poor, and enrolling poor children for free. However, due to the suppression of patriotic progressives, it was eventually destroyed. Yang Yide died in Tianjin on 1944.
