Chapter 33 Wu Jingzhong made the decision
Chapter 33 Wu Jingzhong made the decision
Long Er was shot and brought in covered in blood.
"The common people in the underworld do not know how high the heaven is or how deep the earth is.
"What information do you have that concerns my life or death?"
Wu Jingzhong took two sips of tea and said with murderous intent in his eyes.
He was angry tonight.
Even want to kill someone.
Long Er and Hong Zhiyou both want to kill!
As a veteran agent, he is used to planning and manipulating things from behind the scenes rather than being led by others.
Hong Zhi has crossed the line.
Unless there is an absolute reason.
Otherwise, Wu Jingzhong would never use this person again.
A fool without bottom line will not live long.
"Long Er, don't you have important information?
"Take it out and give it to the stationmaster."
Hong Zhiyou said calmly from the side.
He was gambling his life tonight.
Bet on yourself and also bet on Wu Jingzhong.
If we win, we will get rid of the Cao Gang and eliminate this major threat.
Lost.
Having completely lost Wu Jingzhong's trust, Long Er was handed over to the Cao Gang and died on the street.
However, Hong Zhi is confident that he will win this game.
Continuous layout before this.
Both Ma Kui and Lu Qiaoshan's "confessions" were intended to ignite the bomb of Wu Jingzhong.
Now the time is ripe.
Ryuji took out a small recorder from his pocket:
"Stationmaster Wu, this is the wiretap recording that the Americans asked me to install in Fourth Master Zhang's house.
"Listen."
After that, he pressed the play button:
"Fourth Master, you think too highly of Wu Jingzhong.
"You're pointing the gun at the wrong person.
"Red tickets are very active in Jinhai right now. If the Wu guy disappears, we can just say it was the Red Ticket guy who did it. What can the Dai guy do?"
……
"Director Lu, do you know why...
“Because Wu Jingzhong is afraid of me, he is pretending.
"He thought I would save face?
"Haha, no, I'll just make him face reality and spit out everything he ate."
……
Snapped!
Recording interrupted.
The voices of Yang Wenquan, Zhang Siye and others were like slaps in the face, hitting Wu Jingzhong hard.
This important member of the Military Control Commission had a frosty face and murderous intent in his eyes.
The recording is real.
He has never met Mr. Zhang Si and his son.
But Yang Wenquan's unique duck voice and Lu Qiaoshan's voice are definitely not wrong.
"presumptuous!
"Arrogance!
"What a courageous dog!"
Wu Jingzhong stood up suddenly, grabbed the teacup and threw it to the ground.
He believed that peace was the most important thing for making money, so he avoided the Cao Gang everywhere.
I didn't expect that my good intentions would be treated as a soft persimmon by these scumbags.
What's worse, Yang Wenquan was smuggling arms.
Jinhai Station is a thorn in the eye.
Yang Wenquan and Zhang Siye must get rid of him.
This is a game of chess that will never end. From the moment he stepped into Jinhai, it was destined that there could only be one winner.
I underestimated the wolfish nature of these people.
It's still too merciful.
“Why did you report it today?
"You asked Long Er to come to me openly, don't you want me to openly break with the Cao Gang?
"Secretary Hong, what are you thinking?
"I think you are the one who is extremely courageous!"
Wu Jingzhong pointed at Hong Zhiyou and scolded him harshly.
“Stationmaster.
“You are a Bodhisattva, but I am not.
"I am just a greedy person, and you are the only one I can rely on.
"But you are still reluctant to show your divine power."
Hong Zhiyou replied with a wry smile.
Immediately, he pointed at Long Er:
“He, I, and the American, all place our hopes on you.
"This is Colonel Filson's plan.
“I’m just a chess piece, I have no choice.
“But it doesn’t matter.
"The important thing is that you are the only one who can manipulate this chess game, and you are the only one who can suppress the government, the military, and the police at the same time.
"If you move, the sky will be clear and the earth will be bright.
"If you don't move, the Cao Gang, Yang Wenquan, and the Americans are time bombs. No matter who explodes in the end, you will be the victim."
At this point, Hong Zhiyou bowed ninety degrees:
"A wise teacher is like a mountain. Even if a student has thousands of thoughts, in the end, he only wishes you a long life."
Wu Jingzhong looked up at the ceiling, pondered for a long time, and then sneered:
"Long live forever?
"Yeah, who doesn't want to live?
"You want to live, and so do I."
Suddenly, his eyes became serious and he gave the order:
"Someone come!
"Detain Lu Qiaoshan and his wife on the spot and keep them under 24-hour surveillance, not allowing them to have any contact with the outside world.
"Anyone who dares to leak the news will be shot on the spot."
"Yes!" Xiao Guohua accepted the order.
"Tell me, my Mr. Kong Ming, what is your next plan?" Wu Jingzhong sat down again and asked coldly.
"Colonel Filson's intention is to ask you to ask Commander Chen Changjie to blockade the Tanggu area where the Cao Gang is located in the name of a city defense exercise.
“At the same time, have Commander Chen stabilize Mou Tingfang and Yang Wenquan.
“Three days later at eight o’clock in the evening.
"The Marines will clear the docks, and Long Er will cooperate with the Americans to execute the Zhang family father and son."
Hong Zhiyou told the truth. "Are you sure?" Wu Jingzhong asked.
“Yes, even if the 94th Army is dispatched, the Americans will not stop.
“As for stealing arms, even the chairman has nothing to say.
"The Zhang father and son must die!" Hong Zhi's words were as firm as iron.
"I'm very confused. It's understandable that you hate the Cao Gang, but now that military mediation is imminent, all major newspapers have already moved into Jinhai. What do the Americans want to gain by taking this risk?" Wu Jingzhong asked in confusion.
“Because the Americans wanted to smuggle the opium left by the Japanese.
“The Cao Gang controls the distribution of tobacco shops.
"Without a thorough reshuffle, the Americans won't be able to sell their opium," said Hong Zhiyou.
“Everything in the world is nothing more than profit.
“That’s not surprising.”
Wu Jingzhong sighed coldly and nodded.
"Webmaster, move." Hong Zhiyou said.
“You’ve found a good backer.
"The Americans are now the gods of Chiang, Song, Kong and Chen. I can neither refuse nor resist.
"Let's do it!"
Wu Jingzhong slapped the armrest and made up his mind.
"Thank you, Station Master." Hong Zhiyou said.
"Someone, take this Mr. Long down to heal his wounds."
Long Er was seriously injured, his face was as pale as paper, and there was a large pool of blood on the ground before Wu Jingzhong spoke.
"Thanks."
Long Er replied coldly and was helped away.
“This guy is quite a man.
"I don't like the sight of blood, let's go to the balcony and talk."
After all this incident, Wu Jingzhong couldn't sleep anymore.
Arrived at the balcony.
He regained his calm demeanor:
"Secretary Hong, Zhang Si and Mu Liancheng are sworn brothers.
"Since the Ming and Qing Dynasties, there have been rumors that the Cao Gang families are the richest in the world. After they are suppressed, the property of these parties and the country must be redistributed.
"What do you think, Mei?"
Wu Jingzhong rubbed his fingers and snapped them, hinting to Hong Zhiyou.
"certainly.
“There are seven large portions in total.
“Mei Lao, Commander Chen, Commander Mou, you divide it into four parts.
"The rest will be shared by Li Hanyuan, the commander of the Tanggu blockade, Long Er, Zhang Ting'e and others, and another portion will be shared among the elders of the Cao Gang to stabilize the docks.
"The last copy was handed over to the national treasury for settlement."
It's good to talk about money.
Talking about money is still a good godfather.
Hong Zhiyou secretly breathed a sigh of relief and quickly answered.
“This way of dividing is too unreliable.
"Zhang Si must have a lot of treasures. Wouldn't it be a waste if they fell into the hands of those who don't know how to collect them?" Wu Jingzhong slapped his palms and frowned unhappily.
“Don’t worry, Stationmaster, the people who carry out the storage and transportation are all disciples of the Cao Gang.
"You are Long Er's savior, and we are one family. Of course, those valuable old things will only appear in your share."
Hong Zhiyou smiled in sympathy.
"Well! I am still confident in your ability to do things." Wu Jingzhong's mood improved.
"teacher.
"I am sorry that my student was reckless and frightened you. I beg the teacher to punish me."
Hong Zhiyou stood at attention and bowed solemnly to apologize.
"Okay, you have good intentions.
"If the Cao Gang is not eliminated, you and I will be uneasy.
“But this won’t happen again.
"It's a good thing for young people to be smart, but be careful not to be too smart."
Wu Jingzhong patted his shoulder with a kind smile, but his eyes were terrifyingly sinister.
"The student will remember the teacher's advice." Hong Zhiyou said with his head down.
He had already expected Wu Jingzhong's anger, suspicion and vigilance.
He is a lackey and a bootlicker, but not a stupid dog.
What is the worldly way? It is nothing but glory and wealth.
So-called loyalty is worthless.
In Wu Jingzhong's eyes, whether or not one can make money for him is the criterion for measuring everything.
The Cao Gang is a deadly threat to Hong Zhiyou.
Life is more important than anything else, so he was willing to sacrifice everything for it, including Wu Jingzhong's pitiful trust.
"This is for the injured hero, a reward for the intelligence.
"Also, he's yours, not mine. Got it?"
Wu Jingzhong took out two gold bars and stuffed them into Hong Zhiyou's pockets.
"I understand. Long Er has never met the webmaster." Hong Zhi nodded.
"You haven't moved into your room yet, right?" Wu Jingzhong suddenly asked.
"No."
"You said last time that Lu Qiaoshan was ripping you off.
"You are mine, I have to take responsibility for you.
"Director Lu used to work in Yuezhou, which is a lucrative place. Lai Jinhai also took a lot of money from Zhang Si, so he must have a lot of money in his pocket.
“You don’t need to be merciful to such a disloyal person.
"Do you understand what I mean?"
Wu Jingzhong leaned close to his ear and personally explained the trick.
He eats big fish like Zhang Si and Mu Liancheng.
Wu Jingzhong was not interested in small fry like Lu Qiaoshan, and was happy to give him to Hong Zhiyou.
"I understand." Hong Zhiyou said.
"Director Lu's mansion on Guilin Road is nice. Go stay there for a few days." Wu Jingzhong waved his hand and said with a friendly smile.
"Yes, thank you for your guidance, teacher."
Hong Zhiyou pretended to be happy and drove straight to the Luqiaoshan mansion.
