Chapter 149: Taking advantage of the situation
Facing the stern gazes of the two bosses, Lu Qiaoshan sucked his teeth and said:

"it is good.

"Thanks to Dean Sun and the stationmaster for their kindness, Qiaoshan will do it immediately."

"it is good!

"Let's go downstairs and have a drink."

Sun Ke was very happy.

To be honest, the effect of winning over people's hearts and minds this time in Pingjin was very average.

He was worried about how to report back to the chairman.

Now we can cause some trouble for Li Delin.

Sun Ke believed that this would be what the Chairman would like to see.

Arrived downstairs.

Hong Zhiyou and Yu Zecheng just walked in.

The bloodstains in the hall had long been wiped clean.

The smell of blood had long been covered up by the smell of cake, wine and women's perfume.

Everything is peaceful and prosperous again.

"President Sun, let me introduce you.

"This is Yu Zecheng, the director of the confidential office of Jinhai Station, and the hero who assassinated Li Haifeng."

Wu Jingzhong quickly called the two of them over to make themselves known to him.

"Go into the tiger's den alone and kill the enemy alone.

"Zecheng, you are the sharp knife of the party and the country!"

Sun Ke was in a good mood and gave a high praise immediately.

"Thank you for your praise, Dean. I am just doing my duty." Yu Zecheng smiled and bowed.

"This is my secretary Hong Zhiyou. He was the one who arrested and killed Ke Chengwu." Wu Jingzhong patted Hong Zhiyou on the shoulder and introduced him solemnly.

"A handsome young man."

Sun Ke raised his hand and looked Hong Zhi up and down, then laughed loudly and said:

"Killing Ke Chengwu has resolved a major issue on the chairman's mind. The chairman personally commended you for this and promoted you three levels. You are the first young officer in the party and the country to do so.

"Young man, keep working hard."

"Thank you, Dean. We will strive to make new achievements." Hong Zhiyou said respectfully.

"Respect.

“Your subordinates are all young and promising, and great things are expected at Jinhai Station.

"correct.

"I'm here this time..."

Sun Ke smiled and said nothing more.

Wu Jingzhong understood and followed him to the side hall.

"Respect.

“The Shancheng negotiations are now a dead letter.

"The Chairman has secretly ordered Fu Zuoyi in Zhangyuan and Sun Lianzhong in Baoding to prepare for the attack on Zhangjiakou."

“The key point now is that there can’t be two masters on one mountain.

“These two tigers in North China each have their own agenda.

"Fu Zuoyi and Sun Lianzhong are both fighting for food and military equipment. General Sun, needless to say, has the support of the Chairman.

"Fu Zuoyi is starving in the back and he doesn't want to move."

Sun Ke stood by the window, his hands behind his back, looking embarrassed.

"That's easy. Just ask the chairman to allocate more money." Wu Jingzhong said.

“It’s not that simple.

"The Americans have been putting pressure on the constitution, and the military and flour supplies have been choked.

"Hu Zongnan's army alone occupied a quarter of the food and guns.

"Northeast China, North China, and South China are all waiting to be divided.

"There aren't enough for our ace troops, so how can we take care of Fu Zuoyi and his men?"

Sun Ke shook his head.

"What you mean is..." Wu Jingzhong roughly understood.

"There are American marines in Jinhai, and it is close to Baoding. You should try to transfer some of the supplies and raise military supplies to secretly distribute to the Zhangyuan Pacification Office.

"Remember, we can't let Sun Lianzhong intercept us.

"Otherwise, Fu Zuoyi should quit."

Sun Ke gestured.

"What about the funds?"

"Purchasing military supplies is not something a mere Class A military station can afford."

Wu Jingzhong was most afraid of this group of people taking advantage of him.

Just take responsibility for one thing.

An IOU.

Money is something you can never see.

Jinhai Station will surely be dragged down by them.

"I have brought you the funds, 300,000 US dollars, that should be enough," said Sun Ke.

"enough.

"enough."

Wu Jingzhong nodded repeatedly.

"Okay, do it.

"Remember not to let the news leak out, otherwise Sun Lianzhong and Chen Changjie will definitely make a scene.

"The chairman is very busy, we can't cause him any more trouble."

Sun Ke gave some serious instructions.

"I will try my best to ensure that this batch of supplies can be delivered to Fu Zuoyi.

Wu Jingzhong accepted the order.

……

Leaving Hengshan Guild Hall.

Regarding the purchase of arms and supplies, Ma Kui was arrested, and Wu Jingzhong put it aside for the time being and went home to collect antiques first.

"Zhiyou, thank you for today."

Returning to the yard, Yu Zecheng said with lingering fear.

"Thank you for what.

“Go and catch him quickly.

“Six Fingers has detained Guan Jun’s wife and children.

"This is your internal matter. You decide how to deal with it."

Hong Zhi is not interested in interfering too much.

Yu Zecheng patted his forehead in a troubled manner and said, "It's not easy to deal with the beggars' nest of Liuzhi.

“The police are in league with them.

“I can’t mobilize the garrison.

"With the few guns at Jinhai Station, there's no way we can get in."

Hong Zhiyou touched his nose and said thoughtfully:

“It’s actually not that difficult to take down Six Fingers.

“You can find Ding Defeng and ask him to scrape the leprosy off.

“The municipality has documents on leprosy, and they suspect the disease and take away the patients if they are found.

“Those beggars are most afraid of this.

“When the time comes, they will naturally flee in a swarm.

"It just so happens that Zhou Yan from the Cao Gang wants to settle accounts with Liu Zhi. If a few dozen people rush in, are you still afraid that you can't deal with this bunch of beggars?"

"You see, my junior brother still has a way.

"Your little brain will be useful if you use it." Cuiping smiled and patted the back of Hong Zhiyou's head.

Hong Zhiyou felt dizzy and almost stumbled.

"Cui Ping, take it easy.

"You beat him silly, who can take care of him?" Yu Zecheng hurriedly supported Hong Zhiyou and glared at her.

"That's because you haven't practiced enough!" Cuiping reached out and pulled Hong Zhiyou's hair a few times.

Hong Zhiyou calmed down and said, "Senior sister, with this slap from you, I don't think anyone can withstand it except Lao Yu who is so shameless."

Yu Zecheng touched his face and felt the burning pain and swelling.

With a slap in the face, he and Zuo Lan saved their lives.

Worth it.

"Zhiyou, Sun Ke called the stationmaster away alone tonight. Do you think something might happen?" Yu Zecheng asked while rubbing his face.

Hong Zhi ignored him and just turned and left.

The most cunning thing about Lao Yu is his rhetoric.

He is able to get useful information out of people without them noticing, and Old Lu has been fooled by him many times.

Sun Ke must have come here with a secret mission from the Chairman.

Dai Li's information was leaked.

Most of Sun Ke’s information will probably be leaked as well.

But Hong Zhiyou didn't really want to get involved.

He is not Lao Xie who makes money by selling intelligence, so he should avoid irrelevant matters as much as possible.

Entered the house.

He Yinfeng was knitting under the lamp.

"Mom, we have plenty of money. We can just buy whatever you want to wear. Why bother with all this?" Hong Zhiyou asked with a smile.

"You do not understand.

“The sweaters I knit myself are thick and warm.

“The ones I bought are only good-looking but very thin. It’s very cold here in the winter, unlike Hangzhou.

"You and Xiaohui are always out and about, how can you survive without some solid clothing?

"I know you have high standards, so I'll just knit something prettier for you."

He Yinfeng smiled gently.

"Okay, you should go to bed early." Hong Zhi did not persuade him anymore.

When I turned around, I saw my younger sister reading some red books again.

"Hey!"

He sighed slightly. It seemed like it was time to send her to the torture room and put her on the electric chair.

……

Arrived at the Mu Mansion.

Wanqiu is still recuperating, so Hong Zhiyou doesn't dare to tease her.

Play the piano and chat about life.

I hugged her and slept soundly.

The next morning.

When Hong Zhiyou came downstairs, Wanqiu had already prepared breakfast.

Sandwiches, milk, eggs.

Simple, but the presentation is exquisite and warm.

"Zhiyou, why don't you sleep a little longer?" Wanqiu asked with a gentle smile.

"You look good today." Hong Zhiyou pulled her to sit down.

“When a man loves you, you feel good and your complexion naturally improves.

"Tomoyu, last night was the happiest and happiest night of my life."

Wanqiu leaned on my shoulder with a very sweet smile.

“You have a bit too much.

"You said the same thing the first time you called me daddy." Hong Zhiyou pinched her pink round face.

"Hate.

“It was a happy night, too.

"But I was happier last night." Wanqiu said with a slight blush on her pretty face.

"Why were you so happy last night?" Hong Zhiyou asked with a smile.

"Because we didn't do anything last night...you love me too." Wanqiu said shyly.

“That kind of thing is just the spice of love.

“It can be fresher and sweeter.

“But not all of them.”

……

After breakfast, Hong Zhiyou came to the station.

As soon as he walked into the corridor, Lu Qiaoshan poked his head out of the office and pulled him into the house:

"Brother, come on, have a cup of coffee early in the morning. It will keep you energetic all day long."

Lu Qiaoshan smiled and personally poured a cup of coffee for Hong Zhiyou.

Hong Zhiyou stared at Lu Qiaoshan with a smile.

"Why are you looking at me?" Lu Qiaoshan said.

“Haggard.

"I didn't sleep well last night. Is there something wrong?" Hong Zhiyou took the hot coffee and took a sip.

"Why.

"As expected of a theology student." "I can't hide anything from you, brother. I'm in trouble."

Lu Qiaoshan sat down and said with a worried look on his face.

He told Hong Zhiyou what happened last night.

"Zhiyou, who do you think is the fool now?
"Sun Ke hasn't left yet.

"Li Zongren's adjutant called me and told me to be careful and walk carefully at night.

“It’s obvious that Sun Ke has their people around him.

“This can’t be concealed at all.

"If I really do something, someone might take my head tomorrow.

"Zhiyou, if we are on the high-end table, then that will be someone else's appetizer.

"I haven't slept all night. I really have no other options. I can only ask you for help."

Lu Qiaoshan had a look of pain on his face and spoke in a very pleading tone.

"Don't worry, I'll ask the webmaster for his opinion first." Hong Zhiyou said.

“Ask the stationmaster?

"He was the one who sold me out. What's the point of looking for him?" Lu Qiaoshan said.

"Brother Shan, don't forget, I'm also a small fry.

"Don't we all have to look at people's faces?
"Don't worry, things will turn out well if you take it slow. I know what to say."

Hong Zhiyou persuaded him and went to the stationmaster's office.

Wu Jingzhong was sitting at his desk, with his arms folded, in a daze.

"Teacher, are you worried about something?" Hong Zhiyou brewed tea and brought it up with a smile.

“It’s very annoying.

"This Sun Ke gave me a lot of problems.

"Let Lu Qiaoshan forge Li Zongren's letter.

"Li is now the head of the headquarters, with a large number of troops at his disposal, and Ma Hansan has a group of desperate criminals under his command. What do you think we should do about this?

“It’s difficult on both ends.”

Wu Jingzhong asked worriedly.

"Has President Sun left?" Hong Zhiyou asked.

"Let's go. We're taking a flight this morning." Wu Jingzhong said.

"Teacher, didn't Director Lu take over this job?" Hong Zhiyou wanted to test his attitude.

“That was also a helpless act.

"Qiaoshan is Zheng Jieming's fellow villager after all. You know, the Yuedong Gang has always been united, and Director Zheng takes good care of his fellow villager.

“Now that I am comfortable using it, it would be inappropriate to use it to take the blame.

"My old classmate was outmaneuvered by Mao Renfeng, and things are going badly for him.

"If I sell Qiaoshan now, he will misunderstand me and think that I am taking advantage of my misfortune. It will be disrespectful to me and ruin our friendship.

“Don’t forget, he hangs around the chairman every day and still holds a position in the Second Department.

"I was at a loss yesterday because of Dean Sun.

"Now that he's gone, help me think of a way to keep him here without offending Li Zongren or letting Sun Ke find fault with him."

Wu Jingzhong pointed at him worriedly and said expectantly.

"Teacher, actually this problem is not unsolvable." Hong Zhiyou said lightly.

"Oh, tell me about it quickly." Wu Jingzhong was overjoyed.

"There is only one solution, Mr. Yanji has many friends." Hong Zhiyou said.

“Chen Bray?

"Tell me quickly." Wu Jingzhong seemed to have got a flash of inspiration.

"I heard that Jinhai's calligraphy master Liu Yunchen and Chen Bulei were old friends, and they had exchanged poems.

“This Liu Yunchen appears to be a gentleman.

"In fact, they indulge in prostitution, gambling, and smoking in private.

“He has a lot of expenses.

"If we ask him to imitate Li Zongren's calligraphy and deliberately leave some flaws, Chen Bulei will definitely be able to see it.

“Then these tokens will be of no use.

“I can also explain this to Dean Sun.

"Moreover, I speculate that it was Sun's personal act to frame Li Zongren.

"With the great wisdom of the chairman, I don't think he would agree to such a small move."

“As long as the letter is a forgery.

"The chairman will just act as if nothing happened."

Hong Zhiyou analyzed.

"Yeah, that makes sense." Wu Jingzhong pondered for a moment, then raised his head and smiled.

"This way, we can accomplish our mission without offending either Li Zongren or Sun Ke.

“After all, he specifically asked me to copy it.

"It's normal to have some deviations when imitating handwriting."

He stood up, put his hands behind his back and paced as he spoke.

"Yes, teacher.

"He has his own plan, and I have a ladder to climb over the wall. I'll just counter his moves." Hong Zhiyou said with a smile.

“It’s extraordinary that you have such vision at such a young age.

"Director Mao personally promised that whoever captures the Military Control Commission traitor Ma Kui will be credited with a merit.

“I’m going to report you.

"I'll lift you up a little further."

Wu Jingzhong said.

“Teacher, let’s report it to Director Yu.

"Think about it, if all the good things happen to me, Mao Renfeng and Jianfeng will think you are acting on personal feelings.

“I have been promoted three levels in a row last time, and others will not accept it if I am promoted again.

"Teacher, you are blessed with good fortune.

“I can still do this for at least ten years.

"I'll just follow you and endure it slowly. If I can get promoted every three years, won't I get promoted sooner or later?"

Hong Zhiyou said this tactfully but respectfully.

Wu Jingzhong was stunned. He didn't expect Hong Zhiyou to say this.

Then he changed his mind and looked at Hong Zhiyou with gentle eyes:
"Hey, it's all my eldest grandson's fault.

“I’m anxious.

"You're right, you have to eat hot tofu bite by bite. If you eat it too fast, you'll burn your mouth.

"Has Zhang Mengchao settled the matter?"

"It's done. Long Er gave him 1,300 yuan and bought the house.

“It just so happens that Mu Liancheng’s things will arrive at the station tonight.

"Do you think we should ask the security department to transport it, or ask the Cao Gang to do it?"

Hong Zhiyou asked.

Wu Jingzhong thought for a moment and said, "Let's go with the Cao Gang.

“Sometimes insiders think more than outsiders.

"Just tell Long Er not to make it public."

"Okay." Hong Zhi nodded.

"Zhiyou, there are some things you have to be aware of.

“I only have one daughter, Ruirui.

“I only have one grandson.

"These things don't belong to others. You should pay more attention to your own affairs."

Wu Jingzhong turned to look at him and warned him seriously.

"I understand, father..." Hong Zhiyou said in a low voice.

Wu Jingzhong smiled knowingly and pulled him to sit down:
"Pu Jie's Japanese wife and children have already arrived in Jinhai.

"You have to hurry up and transport it to Peking.

"I have prepared the materials. I will ask her to sign it and say that she has done a great service by exposing the traitors. Then I will ask Pu Jie's adjutant to send her back to her hometown directly.

"Pick out a few more treasures to give to Commander Xiong."

"I understand, teacher." Hong Zhi nodded.

“There is something more important right now.

"Sun Ke conveyed the Chairman's instructions, asking us to transfer some military supplies and weapons from Tianjin to Fu Zuoyi.

“You are familiar with the 94th Army and the Americans.

“Buy it from them using your personal connections.

"Sun Ke has already transferred the money to the station. Please keep the amount between 150,000 and 200,000 US dollars, and the quality of the goods should be as good as possible.

"Although Fu Zuoyi's army is a ragtag group, it will be very troublesome if they cause trouble."

Wu Jingzhong warned.

"Okay, teacher." Hong Zhi nodded.

"Stationmaster, Ma Kui has woken up. What should we do?" Lu Qiaoshan had been waiting for news. Seeing that Hong Zhiyou was not coming out for a long time, he found an excuse and walked in.

Are you awake now?

Didn’t senior sister say that I would be dizzy for three to five days?

The blood is really thick.

Hong Zhiyou secretly complained.

“This person is dangerous.

“Director Mao meant for him to disappear immediately.

“Qiaoshan, you decide.

"When I report your achievements, I will include you in the list," Wu Jingzhong ordered.

“Yes, Station Master.

"Is it mainly about imitating Li Zongren's handwriting?"

He glanced at Hong Zhiyou inconspicuously and asked in a low voice.

“Secretary Hong found someone for you.

“My name is Liu Yunchen.

"This person has dealings with Chen Bulei and is very short of money now. You can give him some money to make him reveal his true colors.

“It would be best if he didn’t know Li Zongren’s handwriting.

“If you know me, give me more.

"When a gambler or a smoker gets addicted, as long as his head is still there tonight, he won't think about tomorrow."

Wu Jingzhong pointed out.

Lu Qiaoshan was overjoyed when he heard this: "Thank you, Station Master. Then...then I'll do it now?"

"Go ahead." Wu Jingzhong nodded with a smile.

"Teacher, how about letting Director Yu work with me on purchasing military supplies?

"I have to go to Peking to transport some stuff, so I don't have time."

Hong Zhiyou suggested.

"Don't.

“A discerning person can see what’s going on.

"Zhecheng is in a lot of trouble now, so it's inconvenient for him to work on the arms business.

“Let him go to Peking to transport the treasures, and I’ll leave this matter to you.

“Remember, trust has its limits.

"Jianfeng is already very dissatisfied with Jinhai's leak. We must be cautious and careful!"

Wu Jingzhong pointed his finger downwards and reminded in a deep voice.

Hong Zhiyou understood.

Old Wu never really trusted Yu Zecheng.

It was undoubtedly a wise move for me to cling to Ruirui in the first place.

Otherwise, just based on the fact that Long Er's Kongbao Company was reselling arms, Wu Jingzhong would probably be suspicious of him.

it's good now.

The money all belongs to the little guy in Ruirui's arms.

There will be no selfishness.

As expected, it’s easier to get things done as a family.

“That’s right, Chiyou.

“There’s one thing you have to be mentally prepared for.

"Jianfeng called me and said he would send Li Ya, oh, the one who was in charge of the Buddhist shrine, to Jinhaiding Ma Kui's position.

“This person was once my student.

"Now that civil war is imminent, we need to seize the red tickets in Jinhai, and we need talents like Li Ya.

“But at the same time, he is also a pair of eyes for Jianfeng.

“We must do things more cleanly in the future.

"Understand?"

Wu Jingzhong reminded again.

Li Ya is coming!

Well, the show is about to begin.

I guess there's time to chew this melon again.
