Chapter 158 Caught in the act

Lu Qiaoshan looked at Li Ya on the opposite right with mixed feelings.

In the past, Ma Kui and Hou Yunlai sat on this chair.

These two guys, one is as stupid as a pig and dog, the other is as cowardly as a mouse.

He can get it done with a little effort.

Now, Li Ya was looking at him coldly, with a slight smile of disdain and gloating on his lips.

This made Lu Qiaoshan very uncomfortable and tormented.

The two men looked at each other with cold eyes for a few seconds, and Lu Qiaoshan's expression became even gloomier.

He knew that Zheng Jieming's card was no longer effective in the station.

He immediately expelled his own people from the action team.

Now the Land and Water Inspection Office is being taken over.

Every knife cuts into an artery.

This is directed at me. I am trying to snatch the position of deputy webmaster.

“Qiaoshan, tell me what you think.

“Especially regarding the incident of someone inside the Land and Water Inspection Office reselling flour.

"Our job is to constantly summarize and self-reflect so that we can make fewer mistakes."

Wu Jingzhong spoke lightly, but his expression was serious.

"Stationmaster, I am not strict enough in employing my people. I will reflect on this." Lu Qiaoshan stood up and said.

“I recognize your work ability.

"It's just that I have too much to do and I can't take care of everything.

"Captain Li is a capable official. He will share the responsibility of the Land and Water Inspection Department with you. Your work will be much easier in the future."

Wu Jingzhong sat upright and smiled.

"Yes, then, I'll have to trouble Captain Li." Lu Qiaoshan forced a smile, stood up and shook hands with Li Ya.

"polite."

Li Ya stood up, put one hand in his pocket, leaned forward slightly, and shook hands in a dull tone.

“Personnel arrangements are not a joke.

“Director Mao is very strict in this regard and the functions of each department must be implemented.

"Qiaoshan, you need to hand over the seals of the equipment room, general affairs department, inspection department, and the canteen."

Wu Jingzhong ordered.

"Okay, Stationmaster, I will hand over to them later." Lu Qiaoshan said reluctantly.

“Not later, right now.

"You've kept the General Affairs Office's seal for a year, and it's time for you to have enough."

Wu Jingzhong's tone sank, leaving no room for doubt.

"Yes!"

Lu Qiaoshan bit his lip and walked out disappointedly.

In a moment, he got back a lot of things.

The key to the equipment room.

Seals of the General Affairs Department, Canteen Purchasing Office, Waterway Inspection Office, etc.

Under Wu Jingzhong's cold gaze, the on-site handover took place one by one with the heads of various departments.

When it was Hong Zhishi's turn, he made a joke with a hint of bitterness:

"Zhangzi.

"From now on we should call you Chief Hong."

"what ever.

"If you want to be the stationmaster, call me Secretary Hong.

"If you want to talk about it from the perspective of Jinhai Station, you can call me Chief Hong."

Hong Zhiyou smiled and took the seal from Lu Qiaoshan.

The tone and attitude were no longer as respectful as before, and seemed very casual.

Lu Qiaoshan's smile turned cold, he curled his lips in displeasure and sat back in his chair.

The world is fickle and people’s hearts are no longer the same.

These snobbish grandsons.

After a while, he returned to the office with a lonely look on his face.

Once upon a time, he was the second-in-command of two offices and seven departments. Who wouldn't want to come and have a cup of coffee with him?

just now……

The police system is being reformed.

It won't be long before the Secret Service is kicked out.

By then he will really become Director Lu.

On the contrary, Li Ya occupies a lucrative position in the Water and Land Inspection Office, and there will be more and more people surrounding him, such as Hong Zhiyou.

He has a strong background.

The position of deputy webmaster is getting further and further away.

……

After everyone left, Yu Zecheng sat in the chair without moving.

"Zecheng, is there anything wrong?" Wu Jingzhong asked with a smile.

"Teacher, I have a request.

“The quality of the staff in our station varies greatly, especially the external editors, many of whom lack literacy.

“Playing cards and gambling are rampant.

“The warehouse on the west side is empty, and I want to build a library so that they can be enlightened when they have nothing to do.

“Especially books on intelligence science.

"For example, your masterpiece and "Far East Intelligence Station" are also helpful in improving their professional quality."

Yu Zecheng said as he handed the list of books to Wu Jingzhong.

When Wu Jingzhong took a look, he found that the prices on the book list were at least twice as high as the average prices on the market.

A copy of Zhu Xi's Family Instructions was priced at two hundred and thirty yuan in the market, but Yu Zecheng bid it at seven hundred yuan.

Wu Jingzhong immediately understood.

Yu Zecheng is short of money.

The confidential office he worked in was far less lucrative than the police station or the inspection office, and he didn't even make as much as Sheng Xiang, the trader.

We can only make some money from these corners.

To be honest, I have earned a lot of gold, silver and treasures recently, but I forgot to distribute dividends to the two generals.

Originally, the Inspection Office wanted to give it to Yu Zecheng as a reward.

As a result, Li Ya showed up and messed up his plans.

“Your proposal is very necessary and advanced.

“I think I can give it a try.

"Also, come to my house for dinner with Zhi tonight.

"We haven't been together for a long time. It's time to chat."

Wu Jingzhong handed the list of books back and smiled happily.

"Thank you, teacher." Yu Zecheng was bowing.

"Go ahead." Wu Jingzhong nodded with satisfaction.

Walk out of the conference room.

Yu Zecheng secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

He deliberately raised the price to act as if he was short of money.

Sure enough, when money is involved, Old Wu's vigilance will be greatly reduced.

With this excuse, he could go to the bookstore to contact them openly.

Thinking of this, Yu Zecheng was in a good mood.

come back to the office.

He was sorting out the book list when Lu Qiaoshan walked in:
"Old Yu, can we chat for a few minutes?"

"Sure, Director Lu, please take a seat." Yu Zecheng said with a smile.

“Book list?
“Why, the station is going to build a library?

"Tsk tsk, the purchase price is too high."

Lu Qiaoshan looked at him in surprise.

"Old Lu, I dare not hide it from you.

"Money is so tight. I have no money in this government office, so I can only get something from this.

“This is Jinhai City.

"My salary is not even enough to cover Cuiping's losses playing mahjong with your wife and the stationmaster's wife.

"If we don't make some, we won't have money to eat out."

Yu Zecheng said in a friendly manner.

“Hey, we are all in trouble.

“I heard that the chairman accepted Li Shizhen’s proposal and the Police Department will be abolished.

"With Boss Dai's death, Director Mao can't say anything.

"The Military...Secret Service is getting worse day by day.

"Believe it or not, one day you will wake up and find that the Secret Service has been abolished."

Lu Qiaoshan sighed with a frustrated look on his face.

“You are too pessimistic.

"If the chairman didn't want to use this knife, would he have let Director Mao come up?

“However, losing the Land and Water Inspection Office is indeed quite disadvantageous to you.

"Think about how many ships come in and out of Jinhai Port every day. If there's any problem, they'll have to ask you for help.

“That’s a mountain of gold.”

Yu Zecheng said with regret.

"Hey!

"It's been a bad year, with layoffs and restructuring, and now the iron-blooded Li Ya has shown up.

“I caught up with everything.

"Even Hong Zhiyou ran away with me. Once the police station is abolished, the Intelligence Department and the Confidential Office will be empty-handed. My life will be difficult."

Lu Qiaoshan said with emotion.

"Old Lu, just be patient.

"He has someone above him, so he has to let go of some things.

“Let’s wait for a while.

"What's wrong with Jinhai? Captain Li might get into trouble someday.

"Won't the feng shui still turn around for you?"

Yu Zecheng comforted him.

"Oh, by the way, I read in the newspaper that the inspection team of the Military Police Headquarters has recently destroyed many underground strongholds of the Red Ticket Organization and confiscated several warehouses of traitors.

"Old Lu, you have to keep up with the intelligence.

"Don't let these guys overshadow us."

After a pause, Yu Zecheng pointed to the news in the newspaper and deliberately changed the subject.

"If they don't suppress us, will they let Li Ya take the spotlight?

"If he fires a few more shots, he'll shit and piss on you and me.

"okay.

"I'm here to tell you, especially Hong Zhiyou, to keep your eyes open and not confuse the inside with the outside. Li Ya is investigating him."

Lu Qiaoshan patted him on the shoulder and walked out.

Yu Zecheng shook his head, packed his handbag, went downstairs and drove straight to Tongyuan Bookstore.

The guy who came last time was indeed sent by the organization.

Mr. Dong also acted as guarantor.

Only then did he dare to come and make the connection.

As soon as I arrived at the bookstore.

I happened to see the clerk and the shopkeeper with a bald forehead and a blue gown fiddling with the bookshelves.

The bookstore had just opened and both of them were busy.

"Boss." Luo Bing reminded in a low voice, then walked to the door with a rag to stand guard.

"Hey, sir, you are here to buy books." Shopkeeper Luo adjusted his glasses and greeted him with a smile.

Yu Zecheng moved to the other side of the bookshelf and spoke in a deep voice using the code that Mr. Dong had given him:
"Boss, do you have the Huiwen edition of Zhu Xi's Family Instructions?"

"Yes, but it is not a separate publication. It is compiled together with Zeng Guang Xian Wen." said the shopkeeper Luo.

"Is it the Republic of China edition or the Qing Dynasty edition?" Yu Zecheng asked again.

"We have both. Which version do you want?" asked Shopkeeper Luo.

"Let's take a look." Yu Zecheng said.

"Inside please."

Shopkeeper Luo raised his hand and led him to the warehouse inside.

"Hello, Comrade Zecheng, my name is Luo Anping, and I'm a direct descendant of Mr. Ke on Line 1." Luo Anping said with a smile and stretched out his hand.

"Finally I've waited for you.

"Hello, Comrade An Ping."

Yu Zecheng shook hands enthusiastically.

"Is it safe for you to come here?" Luo Anping asked.

“It’s still safe for now.

“I applied for a book project at the station, and the station manager approved it.

"I can come here openly from now on."

The rest will become the Tao.

"Very good.

“The liaison station has not been built yet, and the higher-ups are getting really anxious.

“Let me introduce myself first.

“I used to work at the water transport terminal in Hankou.

“Contact Mr. Ke directly one-on-one.

"Right now, among the border and social security officials, only Mr. Ke knows my information." So, even if I am exposed, the enemy won't be able to dig up anything.

"And for your safety, and to cope with the complicated underground situation in Jinhai, I will only target you at this point from now on.

"Comrade Zecheng, the organization values ​​you very much."

Luo Anping shook hands with Yu Zecheng again and sighed.

“Felt it.

“I can’t stay here too long, let me talk first.

"Chiang secretly ordered the Jinhai Station to purchase military supplies from the Americans and secretly sent them to the Zhangyuan Pacification Office, and handed them over to Fu Zuoyi's 12th War Zone. It is very likely that they were going to attack the Jining and Zhangjiakou areas.

“A batch of important materials were transported from Jinhai and Shanghu to Subei.

“Dai Zhiqi’s division may want to attack General Su.

“Now Chiang’s intention is very clear: he wants to fight.

"We have to get ready quickly."

Yu Zecheng said.

Luo Anping didn't even take out a pen, and said directly: "Your information is very important, I will report it to my superiors in time.

"There is another matter that I need your help to identify."

"You say."

Yu Zecheng immediately understood that the organizations he reported to already knew about this.

"Recently, many underground organizations have been destroyed in Xi'an, Luoyang, Kaifeng and other places, and dozens of people have been arrested.

“Among them is a major general-level undercover officer of our party.

"The entire intelligence network in the Central Plains and Northwest was almost uprooted.

“The losses were very heavy.

"According to the investigation, the organization has identified a number of suspects, and there is a person in Beiping who is a major suspect."

Luo Anping said with a frown.

"Who?" Yu Zecheng asked.

“Yuan Peilin.

“This person once established an intelligence network with Wang Shijian.

“Now there are two leaders in Peking, and you need to use your means to identify them.

"If you find that this person has indeed defected, please report it immediately."

Luo Anping said worriedly.

"You have to let the comrades in Peiping evacuate as soon as possible." Yu Zecheng said.

"It's already being arranged." Luo Anping said.

"Okay, I understand." Yu Zecheng nodded.

After taking a batch of samples, he left the bookstore and returned to the station to hand them over to Wu Jingzhong for review.

After leaving the stationmaster's office and passing by Hong Zhiyou's office, Yu Zecheng glanced inside and saw no one, so he guessed that he had gone to the sailors' warehouse again.

How to identify Yuan Peilin?

Hong Zhi has extensive connections.

He could even talk to people like Ma Hansan, Liu Yuzhu and Wang Puchen.

If Yuan Peilin's betrayal is true.

Then the new stationmaster of Peking Station, Qiao Jiacai, would definitely make a big fuss about this person.

That was Ma Hansan's territory.

After Dai Li's death, although this man resigned as director of the Bureau of Secrets and became director of the Bureau of Civil Affairs, the Bureau of Secrets was still Ma's base.

The Qiao family is Li Zongren's subordinates...

Maybe there is something to be said for this.

……

Night falls.

Li Ya secretly assembled the key members of the action team at his residence.

"Group 1: Dafu, how is the tracking going over there?" Li Ya asked.

"Last night, Hong Zhiyou met with Kong Fang again.

“I gave the other party two gold bars.

“This afternoon, Hong Zhi secretly shipped a large amount of military supplies and weapons from the No. 2 Naval Warehouse Pier. The cargo included dozens of trucks and was shipped out in three batches.

“We took a road in the mountainous area of ​​Baoding.

"In the past, that place was occupied by the Red Ticket guerrillas for a long time and was one of the important transit lines for the Red Tickets to enter Yan'an.

“Moreover, Hong Zhiyou secretly visited Yong Jianqiu last night.

“This person has always been an important friend and trader of Red Ticket.

"His daughter is the student union member arrested by Section Chief Xiao."

Qi Dafu reported.

"That's right.

“In the past, Hong Zhiyou also transported things along the mountain road with Kong Fang.

"When Section Chief Liu was in office, he personally arrested the suspect.

“It was just that Hong Zhi had a conflagration and no evidence was obtained.

"But that time Chief Liu sent Hong Zhiyou to the electric chair, and everyone thought Secretary Hong was doomed.

"did not expect……"

Another subordinate followed up with the report.

“That is to say, Hong Zhiyou is indeed suspected of using a ticket.

"Or are you doing business with Hongpiao, transporting military supplies and guns for them?"

Li Ya pondered.

He was very clear about Liu Xiong's vision and methods.

Being closely watched by Liu Xiong, caught in the act and sent to the electric chair, Hong Zhi was very likely to be a favorite.

"That's possible." Qi Dafu nodded.

"Hong Zhiyou, you are such a good guy. There are so many businesses in Jinhai, but you don't want to do it, but you have to collude with Hongpiao.

"I'm just tired of living."

Li Ya touched his chin and instructed his men:

"Gather troops and secretly go to the mountainous area of ​​Baoding, follow the convoy, and catch him in the act."

"team leader.

“The last time Section Chief Liu failed, it was because the local garrison stepped in and pinned down Section Chief Liu, which gave Hong Zhi time to burn the evidence.

"Without the help of the garrison, I'm afraid we won't be able to capture him."

Qi Dafu reminded.

"Don't worry, I will call Sun Lianzhong.

"With so many military supplies and weapons, I think he will be happy to accept them." Li Ya sneered.

"Captain Li, why don't we report it to the stationmaster first?" Song Fei reminded.

"No need." Li Ya raised his hand to interrupt.

The last time Yu Zecheng was arrested, even though his family was watching, the webmaster was still uneasy.

Who is Hong Zhiyou?
That is the stationmaster’s God of Wealth, “son-in-law”.

If this is reported, Wu Jingzhong will definitely inform others secretly.

Hold it first.

Looking back, I'll just think of it as a "surprise" for him.

……

West of the city.

Hong Zhiyou stood by a small shop, holding the phone:

"Ok.

"I see."

After saying that, he hung up the phone.

"Secretary Hong, can the convoy leave now?" an officer in plain clothes came over and asked.

These cars.

Including the drivers and escorts, all of them were secretly sent to Jinhai by Fu Zuoyi himself.

There were nearly three hundred people.

They are all dressed as Cao Gang disciples to ensure the safety of transportation.

"Commander Mu, let's go." Hong Zhiyou raised his hand and said.

The call just now was made by him to Mi Zhiguo.

Li Ya is indeed an ungrateful person who can never be tamed.

They actually sent dozens of people and called Sun Lianzhong to intercept him.

Ha ha!

Cut it.

Hu is impossible.

Just wait for the confusion.

He and Kong Fang got on the first car.

Under Kong Fang's guidance, the convoy left the city.

After two or three hours, we entered a remote secret passage in the mountains.

……

"Captain Li, the convoy is coming." Qi Dafu Cat whispered in the woods.

"Very good.

"Have Sun Lianzhong's people arrived?" Li Ya asked.

"They're on their way here and should be here soon." Qi Dafu said.

"go.

"Set up the roadblocks first to buy time.

"There are quite a few people on the other side. If you can avoid an exchange of fire, try your best to avoid it."

Li Ya ordered.

Immediately, members of the Security Bureau's operative team went up to set up roadblocks.

What Rolling Stones.

Broken tree.

The mountain road was blocked tightly.

"Squeak!"

The leading car slammed on the brakes.

The entire convoy stopped.

Adjutant Mu jumped out of the car and shouted, "What's going on?"

"Someone has set up a roadblock." Hong Zhiyou got out of the driveway.

“It couldn’t be bandits robbing the road.

"Mad, take out everything."

Adjutant Mu waved his hand, and the soldiers escorting the car jumped down. Everyone drew their pistols from their waists and stood on guard.

“There are quite a few people with red tickets.

"Let's go and meet them."

Li Ya glanced at his watch and estimated that Sun Lianzhong's regular army would be arriving soon. Seeing that the roadblock was about to be cleared, he walked out sideways.

"Brother Hong, where are you going so late at night?"

Li Ya held up the flashlight and waved it at Hong Zhiyou.

"It's Brother Li.

"I, I'm delivering something to the west." Hong Zhiyou said with a warm smile.

"What is it?" Li Ya asked.

"It's just some wine, rice, flour and so on." Hong Zhiyou said.

"is it?
"You, go up and search." Li Ya waved his hand and ordered.

"Captain Li, please give me some face." Hong Zhi grabbed him and said.

“Brother.

“I don’t care what you sell in Jinhai.

“But selling things for red tickets is absolutely not allowed.

"That's my bottom line."

Li Ya pushed his hand away and said without allowing any discussion.

"You misunderstood. Why would I do business with red tickets?" Hong Zhiyou explained.

"No?
“Who is this person then?
"Kong Fang, Hongpiao was once an underground courier, and the road you are taking is also a transportation channel for Hongpiao.

"Isn't it obvious?"

Li Ya narrowed his eyes and sneered.

Kong Fang immediately pretended to be horrified: "Hong, Secretary Hong, what should we do?"

“Brother.

"Let's put things aside, I thank you for the business matter.

“This is not negotiable.

"Go up and search for me."

Li Ya shouted again.

"Damn it, let's see who dares.

"With these few broken guns from your secret service, believe it or not, I will send you to see the King of Hell right now."

Adjutant Mu's men immediately came over to block the way.

"Oh, are all the red tickets so arrogant?
"It's amazing how many guns there are."

Li Ya pulled out his gun and fired several shots into the air.

Soon, a car drove over in the distance, and countless flashlights flashed in the woods.

"Quick, quick!"

Soldiers armed with guns rushed over and surrounded everyone.
