Chapter 55: Merit or Brains
"You will be punished!"
Ma Kui looked at Lu Qiaoshan coldly, then walked up to the unarmed civilians with a gun in hand.
Boom!
Magui pulled the trigger repeatedly.
One shot at a time.
It’s a pity that these people died with injustice before they even understood what was going on.
Click!
Lu Qiaoshan was taking photos excitedly on the side.
There are two sets of photos in total.
A group with old people and children.
A group of young and strong people.
"Magui, Magui, let's see how you can dance now!
"Carry it away!"
After taking the photo, Lu Qiaoshan smiled grimly and got into the car.
……
Jinhai Station.
After Wu Jingzhong received Lu Qiaoshan's call, he immediately called Hong Zhiyou and Yu Zecheng over.
“You two, Ma Kui has successfully wiped out the Red Ticket.
“The printing house has also gone bankrupt.
“Those who should be killed have been killed, and those who should be arrested have been arrested.
"The problem now is how to explain this to the special commissioner and ask him to write a report to us."
Wu Jingzhong rubbed his forehead with a headache.
"Stationmaster, how about giving Commissioner Wang a gift?" Yu Zecheng suggested.
Wu Jingzhong paced a few steps with his hands behind his back, shook his head and sighed, "It's not safe, and you have to choose the right person to give gifts.
"If you don't send it correctly, you are actively handing over the evidence.
“I’m not familiar with Wang Puchen, and he’s a close confidant of Mao Renfeng.
"After the Mao Sen incident last time, I had already developed a grudge against Er Mao.
"If you offer bribes again, I'm afraid you'll be punished, and your crime will be even more serious."
"Zhiyou, what do you think?"
Yu Zecheng turned around and threw the difficult problem to Hong Zhiyou.
He is really my good third brother... Hong Zhiyou said in a deep voice:
"Stationmaster, I think Commissioner Wang will cooperate."
"Oh? Tell me about it." Wu Jingzhong asked in surprise.
The webmaster didn’t know Wang Puchen, but Hong Zhiyou did.
Wang Puchen is a low-key, shrewd and cautious person.
The main goal is to do a good job and not make enemies.
Just like his personality, silent and taciturn, he would do anything to complete his superiors' tasks. Ma Hansan was paralyzed by him and finally sold out.
When Fu Zuoyi was ready to surrender, many people did not believe it.
Wang Puchen keenly sensed the danger and successfully escaped before the liberation of Peking.
This shows that this person is very good at judging the situation.
At present, Dai Li is close to the Americans and is determined to become the commander-in-chief of the navy. He urgently needs to make achievements to show his face in front of the Chairman.
Otherwise, there wouldn’t have been any joke about preparing a celebratory banquet for Wu Jingzhong.
This vote from Jinhai is an opportunity for both Wu Jingzhong and Dai Li.
Anyone who dares to muddy the waters is seeking death.
A smart man like Wang Puchen would naturally not do such a stupid thing.
Wu Jingzhong was confused by the situation and the huge scale of the matter made him lose his composure for a moment.
Otherwise, it would be impossible not to see this.
"Stationmaster, I think Commissioner Wang is more panicked than us right now!" Hong Zhiyou said lightly.
Wu Jingzhong's eyes hardened, and a smile gradually spread across his face:
“Zhiyou is right.
"I'm anxious, he's anxious, and Boss Dai is even more anxious!"
"But it's not appropriate for me to discuss this matter personally. You go ahead." Wu Jingzhong pointed at Hong Zhiyou.
"Yes, Stationmaster." Hong Zhi nodded.
"Zecheng, go to the warehouse and pick out some good things and put them in Commissioner Wang's car." Wu Jingzhong's eyes turned and he came up with another plan.
It's obvious that the old fox wants to stay out of it.
Don't give Wang Puchen the opportunity to find any handle or excuse.
Even if it is exposed in the future, they can still put the blame on Wang Puchen, saying that he secretly colluded with Secretary Hong to accept bribes and deceive his superiors.
Hong Zhiyou greeted Wu Jingzhong's family in his heart and quickly came to the reception room.
Wang Puchen was smoking, his eyes full of fatigue.
He is very conflicted now.
Before coming, Mao Renfeng repeatedly warned and instructed that if they caught Wu Jingzhong, they should report to the inspection office of the headquarters immediately.
We must get back to Mao Sen's game.
At least Wu Jingzhong should be transferred away from Jinhai and let his own people take over this piece of fat meat.
However, Boss Dai's instructions were: assist and supervise Wu Jingzhong to win the battle.
Victory. Winning is allowed but defeat is not.
Boss Dai wants credit, Director Mao wants passing.
Wang Puchen was inclined to the latter.
Once Boss Dai is promoted, Director Mao will most likely take charge of the Military Control Commission.
It is reasonable for him to side with his fellow villager.
"Commissioner Wang!" Hong Zhiyou stepped forward and greeted him.
"Secretary Hong, sit down.
“I know you, Stationmaster Mao did a good job in handling the case last time.
“Zhou Xiangxian thinks very highly of you.
"You are from Hangzhou too, right?"
Wang Puchen coughed a few times and asked with a friendly smile.
"Thank you, Commissioner. I am from Hangzhou." Hong Zhiyou replied respectfully.
“Then we are fellow villagers.
"Where is Stationmaster Wu?" Wang Puchen asked.
"He's old now, he couldn't hold on any longer so he had to rest. It's hard for Commissioner Wang.
"Regarding the report, I hope..."
Hong Zhiyou smiled.
"I have prepared the report, please take a look."
Wang Puchen handed him the handwritten message.
Hong Zhiyou was horrified after reading it.
The report is complete and truthful.
What's worse is that Wang Puchen added: He suspected that there were red-ticket spies and bandits at Jinhai Station, and they were connected with the Yong family.
The thing the webmaster was most worried about happened.
Mission failed, added spies and bandits.
If these two things were put together and reported to the headquarters inspection office, I'm afraid even Boss Dai would not be able to keep Wu Jingzhong's job.
After all, Jinhai is a top priority for the party and the country.
Not only Wu Jingzhong, but the entire Jinhai Station had to be replaced and rebuilt.
Wang Puchen was secretly observing Hong Zhiyou's expression.
But the secretary put down the message and said with a faint smile:
"Commissioner Wang hasn't sent it yet. I guess he has some considerations."
"Then tell me what I am considering?" Wang Puchen asked with interest.
"Are you worried about your future or your head?" said Hong Zhiyou.
Wang Puchen's eyes suddenly turned cold: "You want your head?"
"That's right.
"Director Mao is your classmate, this is an opportunity for you.
“If you bet right, you will have a bright future.
“But don’t forget, as long as Boss Dai is in power, the Military Control Commission will be named Dai, not Mao.
"When you send this telegram, you will die."
Hong Zhiyou said in a resounding voice.
Wang Puchen looked at him coldly, with cold sweat already oozing out of his back.
Hong Zhiyou looked at him calmly without fear.
"But if you knew about it and didn't report it, according to family rules, you know the consequences." Wang Puchen spat, wiped his mouth with a handkerchief and said vaguely.
"Since it is a family rule, it was set by the head of the family."
Hong Zhiyou smiled, poured a cup of tea for Wang Puchen, and said in a humble and warm tone:
"The military transfer is about to begin, and what Boss Dai and the Chairman need is good news.
“Don’t say that Jin Hai has made great contributions.
"Even if Jinhai Station was bombed and massacred by the Red Army, you still have to report that Jinhai is peaceful and Wu Jingzhong has done a great deed.
“That’s all Hong has to say.
"You can choose between the future and the brain, Commissioner Wang!"
Wang Puchen looked at him silently.
Before leaving, Boss Dai's cold and sharp gaze made him tremble inexplicably.
Hong Zhiyou is right.
Jinhai is a bomb.
Whoever clicks will die.
The best way is to bury it underground and never see the light of day.
“You just said you’ve done a great job.
"Tell me about it." Wang Puchen puffed out the smoke and asked in a deep voice.
Hong Zhiyou recounted Ma Kui's "heroic killing of the enemy", Director Lu's accurate intelligence, the destruction of the red ticket printing factory, and the killing of many "key members" of the Prefectural Committee.
Wang Puchen got goosebumps all over his body after hearing this.
In order to keep his job, Wu Jingzhong threw away all his dignity and bottom line.
No matter what, he will do anything.
He even suspected that if his report was sent out, it would not reach Peiping and he would be shot by Wu Jingzhong.
