Chapter 142 Mr. Yanji has many friends
"Secretary Hong, I am Duan Wang, the steward of the Zhang Mansion." Duan Wang bowed respectfully.
"Butler Duan, come on, please take a seat.
"take it easy.
"Tea or coffee?"
Hong Zhiyou closed the door and raised his hand to ask.
"Tea...tea."
Duan Wang sat down tremblingly, with his hands on his knees, behaving very respectfully, for fear of angering this important figure in the "devil's cave".
Hong Zhiyou poured him some tea and handed him a cigarette.
He didn't rush to ask.
After talking for a while, he saw Duan Wang's expression gradually relaxed before saying, "Butler Duan, you came to see me for something."
“Yes, yes.
"I read the newspaper this morning and Ke Chengwu is dead," said Duan Wang.
"I know.
"He failed in his assassination attempt on me last night and became a ghost." Hong Zhi nodded.
“You all know where Ke Chengwu came from.
"This person used to do business for the Qing royal family and had a good personal relationship with Zhang Cuiting.
“After Ke Chengwu was defeated by Sun Lutang and seriously injured, he has been hiding in Zhang’s mansion.
"I am responsible for all the daily expenses of food, clothing and daily necessities.
"Now Zhang Cuiting is planning with Zhao Chuncheng to kill me to silence me in order to clear herself of any connection with the matter.
"Secretary Hong, you must lend me a hand.
"please."
Duan Wang's eyes turned red and he stood up to kneel down to Hong Zhiyou.
“Don’t worry.
"Brother Duan, I'm not a prince or a royal family member. I will shorten my life if I accept this.
"Don't worry, I'll take you to see the stationmaster now."
Hong Zhiyou held his shoulders and said.
Arrived at the stationmaster's office.
Duan Wang confessed everything and revealed a lot of shocking information about Zhang Cuiting.
For example, he used his connections to help Japanese officers avoid military trials.
He made remarks that were detrimental to the party and the country with the old members of the royal family.
Especially when he was with Ke Chengwu, the two of them sympathized with each other and repeatedly threatened to take the chairman's head.
"OK.
"I'm worried about finding someone to start the purge.
"Tie up with Ke Chengwu, let's do some good things together.
"It's Zhang Cuiting!"
Wu Jingzhong was delighted.
After returning from Jingling, he has been trying to make achievements in order to gain Jianfeng's trust.
I finally got the card of Ke Chengwu and was able to show my face in front of the Chairman.
Then we have to dig deeper.
"Call Qiaoshan over." Wu Jingzhong ordered.
Soon, Lu Qiaoshan walked in: "Stationmaster, are you looking for me?"
"Qiaoshan, the action team must be led by a colonel.
"Someone has to do Magui's job.
"If you are capable, you should do more work. Take over this business first."
Wu Jingzhong ordered.
"Thank you, stationmaster. Qiaoshan will definitely live up to your trust." Lu Qiaoshan was overjoyed and straightened his body and said respectfully.
“Bridge Hill.
"Have you heard about Ke Chengwu's incident?" Wu Jingzhong asked.
“It is notoriously anti-people.
“The Military Control Commission’s most wanted criminal.
"He died last night... everyone should celebrate."
Lu Qiaoshan said with a smile.
“Ke Chengwu has been lurking in Zhang Cuiting’s residence.
“This Mr. Duan is Zhang’s housekeeper.
“He can testify.
"Now that we have solid evidence, take your men with you and arrest Zhang Cuiting and his nephew."
Wu Jingzhong put his hands behind his back and gave the order coldly.
"Yes, Station Master!
“That Ma Kui…he wants to see his wife right now.
"Otherwise, I would rather die than go to Jingling."
Lu Qiaoshan felt a little troubled.
“The stones in the pit are smelly and hard.
"This is still a fantasy about Director Mao."
Wu Jingzhong's eyes narrowed, he raised his head slightly and sneered.
“Zhiyou, you have a good relationship with him, go talk to him.
"Qiaoshan, go and arrest him immediately."
He waved his hand and ordered.
"Yes!"
The two men received the order at the same time and walked out of the stationmaster's office.
"Brother Shan, you are amazing.
“The Intelligence Department and the Action Team are all on their shoulders.
"Tsk tsk, even if you put all the A and B stations in the country together, this one is unique.
"Isn't this job better than those of deputy station chiefs?"
Hong Zhiyou said as he walked.
Lu Qiaoshan tried his best to suppress his joy, and said with a smile: "Brother, it's not that exaggerated, it's just a hard life."
“Brother Shan, you are not kind.
“Still be humble with me.
"Isn't it obvious that the stationmaster wants to train you as the deputy stationmaster?"
Hong Zhiyou said with a smile.
He knew that Li Ya might come, so he raised Luqiao Mountain a little higher.
The fight will be more fierce in the future.
Now that he has the rank of major, Hong Zhiyou also wants to make progress.
The station is full of old foxes.
Nothing can be accomplished overnight, so it is always good to lay a solid foundation first.
“Well, I guess so.
"Stop talking. I have to go catch someone. The first shot can't go misfire." Lu Qiaoshan patted him on the shoulder and went to the action team with full enthusiasm.
As the team moved forward, Song Fei, Qi Dafu and others were smoking and chatting.
Wu Jingzhong has always been lenient towards his subordinates.
As long as it does not affect his income, most of the time he turns a blind eye to his subordinates smoking, drinking tea and reading newspapers in the department.
“What are you doing?
"You all have nothing to do, right?
"You still dare to smoke? Are the rules and regulations of the station just for show?"
As soon as Lu Qiaoshan came in, he put on a stern face and acted in a domineering manner.
“Director Lu, Captain Ma is under investigation.
"We are leaderless and have no work to do, right?"
Qi Dafu, a slightly plump man with a short beard, tilted his head and retorted unhappily.
"Who told you there is no leader?
"The stationmaster has ordered that from today on, I will be in charge of the action team.
“I am not as good as Ma Kui.
"Behave yourself, everyone. If anyone doesn't want to work, pack up and go home to take care of your children."
Lu Qiaoshan pointed at everyone and shouted.
When everyone heard that Lu Qiaoshan was also a member of the action team, they were all surprised.
The Intelligence Department is unique.
If we add an action team, wouldn’t Jinhai Station become Luqiaoshan’s?
“Still pumping.
“Pump, pump.
"I tore your mouth to pieces."
Lu Qiaoshan raised his hand and slapped Qi Dafu in the face.
Qi Dafu's mouth twisted, his cigarette fell to the ground, and he was stunned.
"Do you want to do it or not?" Lu Qiaoshan asked, pointing at him.
"Fuck, fuck."
Qi Dafu nodded repeatedly.
The organization and welfare of the Military Intelligence Bureau are almost the best among all units.
Once the ID is shown, no one dares to say a word when the card is taken.
Lu Qiaoshan has always been domineering. He may not necessarily fire someone, but he is good at making things difficult for them.
Who in the station dares to offend him?
"Walk.
"Follow me to Zhang's house to arrest people." Lu Qiaoshan waved his hand.
……
Hong Zhiyou came to the underground interrogation room.
Ma Kui was shirtless and covered in blood, but his eyes were still defiant and sharp.
"Laowu, go out. I want to talk to him alone." Hong Zhiyou ordered.
"Secretary Hong, please stay away from him."
Lao Wu gave a reminder, waved his hand and led everyone out.
Hong Zhiyou pulled a bench and sat down opposite Ma Kui.
"Snapped!"
He lit a cigarette and handed it to Magui.
Ma Kui bit it, closed his eyes and took a deep puff: "I want to see A Di."
"Adi has returned to Shanghai." Hong Zhiyou said lightly.
"We are husband and wife, and she doesn't even come to see me?" A trace of sadness flashed in Ma Kui's eyes.
“Without love, your marriage certificate is just a piece of paper.
"Why did she come to see you?
"Being imprisoned and living a widow? Not beating drums and setting off firecrackers is already the most righteous thing to do."
Hong Zhiyou raised the corner of his mouth and sneered.
"call!"
Ma Kui took a puff of smoke, clenched his cheeks, shook his head left and right, and looked straight at Hong Zhiyou:
"Brother, how shall I treat you?"
"Okay.
"I ate a few pig heads and drank a few glasses of cheap bulk wine.
“There doesn’t seem to be anything else I can say.”
Hong Zhi thought about it seriously.
“Is that all?
"I've always known about the things you did for the stationmaster, but I never checked on you.
“Because I know you’re not a red ticket.
"Like you should know, I'm not Mount Emei either."
Before Ma Kui could finish his words, he was interrupted by Hong Zhiyou: "Captain Ma, what you mean is that I should thank you for not investigating?"
"I, that's not what I meant."
Ma Kui felt an inexplicable chill in his heart.
The only person he felt had some humanity in the station was Hong Zhiyou.
Now he seems to have no taste.
“Do me a favor and call Chief Mao.
“Report the situation here truthfully.
"I worked as a guard for him. I risked my life to go to Jingling for him and recovered the gold. He had to ask me to help him."
Magui was getting a little anxious.
“The stationmaster called.
"After all, you are Director Mao's man, and no one dares to deal with you privately.
"Let's go back to Jingling.
"Maybe that's your last chance."
Hong Zhiyou advised.
"Fine.
“I’m leaving!
"Anyway, I may not be able to see the person I want to see."
Ma Kui wiped the corners of his torn lips, slowly closed his eyes, and let the cigarette smoke dissipate.
For some reason, he missed A-Di especially these days.
I remember the first time I saw that beautiful woman in Shanghai and I was completely captivated by her.
I miss our wedding night and cling to it till death.
I miss A-Di's soft body and moving voice.
There is also a faint body fragrance on her.
He even thought that it would be nice to be an ordinary person, without fighting and killing, but with love for each other.
However, now A-Di is gone.
He really had nothing.
"Go to Captain Ma's office and get his clothes, hat, and shoes.
“Take him to the dormitory to take a shower.
"Let Captain Ma be decent."
Hong Zhiyou walked to the door and stuffed a few silver dollars into Lao Wu's hand.
"Yes, Secretary Hong." Lao Wu gladly accepted it.
“Thanks, bro.
"You are still a kind person."
Ma Kui, wearing handcuffs, looked at Hong Zhiyou with gratitude.
“Old Five.
"And ask someone to go to the street to buy Captain Ma a bowl of honey water and some cat-ear fried cakes or something." Hong Zhiyou shook his head and chuckled and left.
Just got back to the office.
Hong Zhiyou leaned back on the sofa and dozed off.
Then Xiao Guohua walked in with a worried look on his face.
"Chief Xiao, is there anything I can do for you?" Hong Zhiyou asked with a smile, perking up.
"Secretary Hong, I, I..." Xiao Guohua hesitated to speak.
“Old Xiao, we are not outsiders.
"Whether you are borrowing money to pay your salary or you have something difficult to say, just speak up."
Hong Zhiyou poured him some tea.
“My daughter has a problem with her left eye.
"Director Ding of the Army Hospital said that the medical facilities in Jinhai were not good enough and we had to go to Shanghai to find a foreign doctor.
“Or seek medical treatment in Germany, North America or Hong Kong.
"The child is only a few years old. No, he can't be blind."
When Xiao Guohua thought of his daughter's illness, his eyes turned red and he almost cried.
“The stationmaster said you know more people in this area than he does.
"Let me beg you..."
Hong Zhiyou waved his hand and said, "What are you asking for? Let me think about it."
“I don’t have any acquaintances in Shanghai.
“Let’s go to Hong Kong Island. The hospital facilities and medical standards run by the British there are pretty good.
"If she can't be cured, I'll try to send her to North America."
"That's great, thank you, Secretary Hong, I, I..." Xiao Guohua was so grateful that he didn't know what to do.
“You, me, and the stationmaster are all family.
“Your daughter is my daughter.
"The safety of the entire station now rests on your shoulders, and I'm counting on you to protect me." Hong Zhiyou knew that he was a kind person and didn't want to deliberately show his kindness and appear superior, so he said a simple and joking sentence to bring the relationship back to equality.
"do not worry.
"As long as I, Old Xiao, am alive, this life belongs to you and the stationmaster."
Xiao Guohua patted his chest and expressed his opinion with tears in his eyes.
“See a doctor as soon as possible.
“But the child will have to endure some suffering and change planes a few times.
"I'll ask the garrison if anyone is going to Jingling to attend the meeting."
Hong Zhiyou was very efficient. He stood up and made a phone call:
"Hello, Staff Officer Shen, I'm Hong Zhiyou.
“Is there any business jet going to Jingling today?
"Tomorrow morning, right?
"Okay, reserve two seats for me.
"Thank you. I'll play tennis with you some other time."
After hanging up the phone, he turned to look at Xiao Guohua.
"There will be a military flight to Jingling at 7 o'clock tomorrow morning. If you trust me, I will ask the Cao Gang to send an experienced person to take the child to Jingling.
“Many people from Jingling fly to Yuezhou.
“Then we will go to Yuezhou, and have friends in Hong Kong pick up the children at the airport.
“It is entirely up to them to arrange which hospital to go to.
"Do you think it's okay?"
Hong Zhiyou held the teacup and moistened his throat.
“Believe it, I believe it.
"Secretary Hong, you are the reincarnation of my Duoduo..."
Xiao Guohua knew that this secretary was very powerful, and he nodded immediately like a chicken pecking at rice.
"You're welcome, go back to work."
Hong Zhi has the Tao.
……
Zhang Mansion.
Zhang Cuiting was playing chess with Zhao Chuncheng.
“Uncle, the company has decided to send Mr. Yin to Jinhai to take charge for me. He will probably arrive at noon today.
“Actually, I’m a little confused.
"With the power of the big boss, he can take down Wu Jingzhong and his gang with just one sentence.
"Why do we have to go to all that trouble to start a price war?"
Zhao Chuncheng shook his head and placed a piece on the chessboard.
“You don’t understand this.
“Wu Jingzhong is Jianfeng’s classmate.
"Jianfeng is very protective of his people and now wants to use Wu Jingzhong to fight corruption in Jinhai.
"Many things are exposed, and it's not good if they get out of hand."
Zhang Cuiting smiled and said.
“But Mr. Yin is the big boss’s cousin, so it should be more than enough for him to come and take charge.
"I guess Wu Jingzhong wouldn't dare to challenge him." Zhao Chuncheng said.
The real owner behind Longdong Company is Jinshan Trading Company.
The company's largest shareholder is Song Ziliang.
The younger brother of Madame Chiang, Lin Tai, and T.V. Soong.
The chairman’s brother-in-law.
Otherwise, how could Longdong Company become the leading foreign liquor company in the country?
It's just that few people know about this relationship.
"Well, I don't think he can cause any trouble." Zhang Cuiting said.
This is already a network of connections that goes far beyond the heavens.
A mere major general is not qualified to compete with Long Dong.
Just chatting.
The servant came running over in a panic:
"Master, Director Lu from Jinhai Station has brought people here and said they want to invite you to Jinhai Station for questioning.
“Butler Duan is also here.
"You and Master Zhao should go and take a look."
"Duan Wang? Damn it, he must have sold us out." Zhang Cuiting screamed and smashed the teacup.
"Uncle, what are you waiting for? Run quickly." Zhao Chuncheng ran away.
Zhang Cuiting knew that if Ke Chengwu’s affairs were exposed, it would be very troublesome.
run first.
Find someone to smooth things over secretly, and come back after this storm has died down.
"Go and stop them first and tell them I'll be there soon," he ordered the servant.
As soon as the servant left, Zhang Cuiting hurried to the backyard.
There is a ladder in the backyard.
The two men just reached the wall.
Lu Qiaoshan chased after him under Duan Wang's guidance.
"Chuncheng, my uncle is the oldest, let me go first." Zhang Cuiting pulled Zhao Chuncheng.
"Do not.
"Uncle, you have no descendants, and I am the only one left in the family. If I die, who will carry forward the glory of the Aisin-Gioro family?
“Don’t worry, if anything happens I will ask Mr. Yin to rescue you.
"You have a wide network of family connections and a lot of reputation. They won't do anything to you."
Zhao Chuncheng didn't care about that and started dragging Zhang Cuiting.
"Little bastard, I was blind to raise a bastard like you.
"Get out of the way and let me go."
Both of them were in a hurry to escape, so Zhang Cuiting was not willing to give in.
He knew that the Military Control Station was a den of evil.
No matter how strong the relationship is, you will have to peel off some skin before you get in.
He is old, can he endure this hardship?
"Mad, I gave you face, didn't I?
"Old man, why can't you understand what people say?"
Zhao Chuncheng was furious. Seeing that Lu Qiaoshan's men were about to catch up, he kicked Zhang Cuiting over and climbed over the courtyard wall using a ladder.
In order to delay the pursuit.
He yanked the ladder aside.
Fuck your uncle!
The sky is big, the earth is big, but I am the greatest.
Ouch!
Zhang Cuiting was halfway up the mountain and couldn't stand this.
He fell to the ground with the ladder and screamed "Ouch".
"hehe.
"Want to run?" Lu Qiaoshan sneered and had someone guard him.
"Song Fei, Mi Zhiguo, go outside and chase the one who ran away." He ordered again.
"Yes."
Song Fei and his companions hurriedly chased outside.
"Take it back!" Lu Qiaoshan raised his hand and said.
……
"Xiao Hong, is the stationmaster here?"
Back at the station, Lu Qiaoshan asked with a happy face.
"exist."
Hong Zhiyou stood up and led him in.
"Qiaoshan, has the person been caught?" Wu Jingzhong asked.
“Got it.
“When I got there, the old thief was trying to climb over the wall and I grabbed him down on the spot.
“He’s in the interrogation room.
"He has a foul mouth and is stubborn. I can't control him.
"Stationmaster, how about you go and try it yourself?"
Lu Qiaoshan touched his forehead and said helplessly.
“Is there anyone who dares to act wildly in the Military Control Station?
"That's unreasonable!
"Come on, follow me to meet him."
Wu Jingzhong slammed the table and stood up angrily.
In the corridor, I happened to meet Yu Zecheng who was coming back from work.
"Zecheng, come with us." Wu Jingzhong called him.
He always has a clear purpose in training his subordinates.
The land bridge mountain is utilized.
Yu Zecheng and Hong Zhiyou are boys who bring fortune.
The difference is that Yu Zecheng is positioned as a martial arts boy.
Blackmail, extortion, and interrogation are a sharp and clean knife.
Hong Zhiyou is the God of Wealth.
Playing cards, building relationships, and soliciting business.
For a tough job like interrogation, Yu Zecheng is naturally indispensable.
Arrive at the interrogation room.
Zhang Cuiting closed her eyes, hummed Peking opera, and swayed her head rhythmically.
When he heard the footsteps, he did not open his eyes and still looked arrogant.
"Zhang Cuiting, the stationmaster is here, why don't you behave yourself?"
Lu Qiaoshan shouted with a stern face.
"Hey, Station Master Wu.
"You invited me to the wrong place for tea.
“Since the days of old Beijing, I have never had tea in a place like this.
"I say, why don't we go somewhere else?"
Zhang Cuiting pulled the accent and put it on.
"Old Five, it's soft." Wu Jingzhong looked at him with a smile.
Lao Wu stepped forward and attacked Zhang Cuiting left and right.
clap clap!
After more than a dozen slaps, Zhang Cuiting felt dizzy and her mouth was full of blood.
“I don’t understand the things of old Beijing.
“There’s no tea in this place, only wine.
"If you don't eat the toast, you will be punished with alcohol!"
Wu Jingzhong was sitting down when Sen sneered.
"You, you dare to hit me.
"I am of the Aisin-Gioro lineage, a royal family. A few decades ago, when the Empress Dowager was still alive, I could have killed your entire family."
Zhang Cuiting slowed down for a moment, but her mouth was still hard.
"is it?
"Don't worry, there will be a time for you to pay your respects to the Empress Dowager Cixi.
"Let's try the hard way."
Wu Jingzhong raised his chin expressionlessly.
Lao Wu found the pliers from the wooden box with ease.
He grabbed Zhang Cuiting's chin, found a large molar, and pulled it out with force.
"what!"
Zhang Cuiting screamed in pain.
His mouth was filled with a mixture of blood and saliva and he vomited a large pool of water.
"Wu Jingzhong, I am Cao's ancestor for eighteen generations.
"I, I am a close friend of Mr. Yanji.
“I’m going to call him.
"I'm going to sue you."
Zhang Cuiting still shouted with an arrogant and unyielding look on her face.
"Chen Bulei has quite a few friends, right?" Wu Jingzhong looked around with a smile.
“Yes, quite a few.
"Literati flatter each other.
"Everyone in the country knows me, so it's normal to have more friends."
Lu Qiaoshan smiled and nodded jokingly.
"If Mr. Yanji knew that he had to meet someone like you who is even dumber than a wild donkey, he would probably be scared to death right now.
"I now suspect that you colluded with Ke Chengwu to assassinate important party and government officials and my secretary.
“The testimonies of Duan Wang and Secretary Hong are sufficient to prove this.
"If you don't behave yourself, I will send you to see the Empress Dowager Cixi now!"
Wu Jingzhong's smile faded, and he pointed at Zhang Cuiting and shouted.
"I, I didn't."
Zhang Cuiting was intimidated by Wu Jingzhong's power and her tone softened:
"Stationmaster Wu, this is a misunderstanding and a false accusation."
"False accusation?"
Wu Jingzhong smiled, stood up and said to Lu Qiaoshan:
“Qiaoshan, you’ve worked hard, continue to hunt down Zhao Chuncheng.
"Leave the work in the interrogation room to Zecheng."
"Yes, stationmaster." Lu Qiaoshan was just disliking the smell of this place, so he agreed immediately.
How nice it would be to hunt on the periphery.
Travel expenses, meals, and fuel expenses can all be reimbursed to the maximum amount.
In the past, all these profits belonged to Magui.
Now it's my turn.
"Zhecheng, interrogate carefully and ask questions carefully.
"If you don't use tricks on a treacherous person like this, he won't admit many things."
Wu Jingzhong narrowed his eyes and hinted at Yu Zecheng.
"I understand, Webmaster." Yu Zecheng nodded.
……
Return to the stationmaster's office.
Wu Jingzhong walked around happily with his hands behind his back.
Zhang Cuiting, Wu Taixun, and Zhang Mengchao.
These are all the old people from the previous dynasty and the Beiyang period. What this group of people lack the least is old stuff.
It's another harvest day.
"Teacher, have some fruit.
"With Director Yu's methods, the old guy will definitely spit out everything.
“I’ll copy it at home when the time comes.
"Hand over the things on the storefront. The treasures and other things are all yours."
Hong Zhiyou cut the fruit plate and brought it up.
"Why.
“Many of my old friends have gone into business.
"Do you know why I am still staying here?
“To be honest, the last Dai Li incident was very dangerous.
"Politics is a gladiatorial arena. If you are not careful, you will pay with your life."
Wu Jingzhong said lightly.
"Because Jianfeng has risen." Hong Zhiyou thought for a while and said.
"right.
“This is the only trump card I can play.
"When Jianfeng no longer values me, that will be the day I retire and return to the countryside."
There was a hint of pride between Wu Jingzhong's brows.
As he was speaking, Yu Zecheng walked in with a gloomy look:
"Teacher, I found some trouble during the interrogation."
