Chapter 160 Does This Slap Hurt?
Chapter 160 Does this slap hurt?
Jingling.
Jianfeng is drinking tea with the chairman.
Seeing his son growing up, the chairman felt very pleased.
I intend to take some time out after a busy day to have a heart-to-heart talk with him and teach him some ways of governing the country.
He knew that his son was greatly influenced by Su.
But in his opinion, those drastic measures are not appropriate for the current national conditions.
The father and son were chatting when the secretary came in:
"Chairman, Jinhai Wu Jingzhong said he wanted to see Jianfeng for something extremely urgent."
"Extremely urgent?
"Dad, I'm going to answer the phone." Jianfeng frowned and stood up.
"Go ahead." The old man waved his hand.
Jianfeng got through to the connecting flight and called Wu Jingzhong back.
……
Wu Jingzhong anxiously stood by the phone.
Jingle Bell.
As soon as the phone rang, he picked it up immediately and finally heard that familiar voice:
“I’m Wu Jingzhong.
"It's like this, I asked Secretary Hong to find someone to transport the supplies and military supplies to Zhangyuan, but they were robbed by Sun Lianzhong's men in the Baoding mountain area.
“Both the people and the goods were taken to the base.
“We have always been very careful and have transported it several times before without any problems.
"It was Li Ya, the Buddhist shrine you sent. He targeted Secretary Hong and insisted that he had a pass. He teamed up with Sun Lianzhong to set up an ambush and ruined the plan.
"Yes, I spent a lot of money to 'buy' this road from the red-ticket traitor.
“It can be said that it is done without anyone noticing.
"Who knew that a bad apple would appear and spoil the whole pot of delicious soup and food.
"Fu Zuoyi?
“I called, but he didn’t answer.
“In my opinion, he did it on purpose. He didn’t want to attack Zhangjiakou, so he used this excuse to delay.
“That’s the bad part.
"This is the last batch of supplies. We made a lot of money for him in the early stage. Now he is holding on to this matter and refuses to give up. Isn't our gold and US dollars going to be wasted?
"Commander Sun? He has also been notified.
"You don't know Sun Lianzhong's bad temper.
"When fighting against the Japanese invaders in Taierzhuang, they fought bloody battles and refused to leave the front line. They were the backbone of the nation.
"If I could order him around, there would be no need for me to call you.
"Old classmate, please ask the chairman to release the people and the car.
"It's too late, I'm afraid it will affect the party and the country's major plans.
“Yes, yes, I’ll ask Baoding Station to coordinate first.
"Okay, thank you. Goodbye."
After hanging up the phone, Wu Jingzhong shook his collar to cool down a little.
Jianfeng takes action.
This problem can definitely be solved.
I don’t know whether he will transfer Li Ya away.
To be honest, he quite admires and likes Li Ya.
In particular, he took the initiative to arrange personnel, got along well with Hong Zhiyou, and did not investigate corruption but only red ticket sales. This was exactly the capable general that Wu Jingzhong had always dreamed of.
The problem is that Li Ya doesn't check outside.
He kept staring at his two guns.
This is very annoying.
Hey.
Better to let him go.
……
Jianfeng quickly returned to the side hall and reported respectfully:
"Father.
"Something went wrong with the supplies shipped from Tianjin to Zhangyuan. When they passed through Baoding, they were intercepted by Sun Lianzhong."
"It's expected." Jiang stood up and sighed.
Leaning on a cane, he looked at the portrait of Mr. Sun on the wall.
“One wants to be robbed, the other wants to rob.
"They all have the same idea, they still don't want to fight.
"Take Sun Lianzhong for example. He was one of Feng Yuxiang's Thirteen Guardians. When fighting the Japanese, he was a famous general who was not afraid of death.
"But now, with a well-organized division and elite equipment, we are defeated in Handan.
“Is he incapable of fighting?
"No, in my opinion, he, Fu Zuoyi and others don't want to fight.
“Now that the supplies have been seized, Fu Zuoyi is looking for an excuse not to fight.
"I guess Sun Lianzhong is thinking the same way.
“You don’t use your energy in the same direction.
“On the other hand, the red tickets are rolling in, and everyone is united.
"Jianfeng, this is the difficulty between the Party and the country and me, and it is also what I am most worried about."
The chairman turned around and said with deep concern.
"Father, this much money worth of military supplies cannot be given to Fu Zuoyi for free.
"Zhangjiakou, he has to fight even if he doesn't want to!"
Jianfeng's tone was firm.
"Ok.
"To prevent Sun Lianzhong and Fu Zuoyi from bickering and causing trouble.
"Pass my order on Chen Jicheng of the Beiping Garrison Command to rush to Baoding immediately.
“In addition, Zhang Qun has gone there in person.
"With these two people mediating, they shouldn't be able to play any tricks.
"Go."
The chairman said in a calm tone.
"Yes!"
Jianfeng took the order and went out.
……
The next day.
Hong Zhiyou got out of bed, feeling refreshed and stretched.
Li Ya and Qi Dafu had been waiting outside the door.
"Get ready, get ready." When he saw Hong Zhiyou, he raised his eyebrows.
"What are you preparing for?" Hong Zhiyou was puzzled.
“Prepare to go to Jingling.
“I just called Jingling, and Jianfeng will call me back in half an hour.
“The American’s connections were used on the red ticket, and your matter is a big deal.
"He will definitely ask about it personally."
Li Ya said confidently.
"Okay, then I'll wash up first." Hong Zhiyou didn't argue with him and got up to go to the bathroom.
Tidy up neatly.
He came to the hall.
"Adjutant Li, do you have breakfast?" Hong Zhiyou asked.
"Yes, steamed dumplings stuffed with cabbage and pork, and millet porridge." said the adjutant on the side.
“Give me two trays of dumplings.
"I'm so hungry."
Hong Zhiyou was not polite, since Gao Zhiqi had already made arrangements.
Wait till breakfast.
He sat down and ate slowly.
"Captain Li, would you like some?
“Jianfeng probably won’t treat you to breakfast.
"Are you still thinking about that duck blood vermicelli soup?"
Hong Zhiyou asked while eating.
"Now that you mention it, I'm actually a little hungry."
Li Ya smelled the delicious aroma of meat filling and swallowed his saliva.
Hong Zhiyou was not shy and pushed a drawer to him.
After eating, he lit a cigarette and started smoking.
“Actually, I’m curious, where do you get your confidence from, brother?
"Can you escape such a serious crime?
“I know you know a lot of people.
“But those people are nothing but ants in the eyes of the chairman and Jianfeng.
"Or are you born to be an actor and are very good at pretending?"
Li Ya frowned as he ate.
“You are a person who loves to dwell on trivial matters.
"How do you know that I am a criminal and not a hero of the party and the country?" Hong Zhiyou asked him with a smile.
"Hero?
"To be honest, I can't think of it." Li Ya shook his head.
"You'll understand."
As he was speaking, Lieutenant Li received a call and said hurriedly:
"Secretary Hong, Captain Li, Commander Sun wants you to go to the conference room immediately."
The two did not dare to delay and hurried to the meeting room of the office.
There were four people sitting inside.
At the top was the special envoy, Zhang Qun, the old man’s trusted minister and adviser.
The other was a senior military officer who wore glasses and was stern.
Sun Lianzhong and Wu Jingzhong sat beside him.
"Come, let me introduce you two.
"This is Mr. Zhang Qun, and this is Commander Chen Jicheng of the Beiping Garrison Command.
"You two were specially sent here by the Chairman and Jianfeng."
Sun Lianzhong stood up and introduced.
The two greeted each other one by one.
Wu Jingzhong looked at the two of them expressionlessly, without any look or expression.
"You are Li Ya, the captain of the Security Bureau's action team. Did you arrest the people and instigate the garrison to seize the supplies?" Zhang Qun asked coldly.
“Encouragement?
"No, I am joining forces with the garrison to clear out the red tickets." Li Ya listened keenly and detected the ill intentions of the two "imperial envoys".
“But Commander Sun and his subordinates said that you lied about military intelligence and encouraged Commander Sun Hao to loot military supplies that were destined for Zhang Huan’s 12th Army.
"What are your intentions?"
Zhang Qun asked, slapping the table.
Li Ya looked at Sun Lianzhong.
I was thanking myself last night, but now I feel like I'm being irritated?
He also thought that the "Three Divisions Hall" was targeting Hong Zhiyou.
I didn't expect that he would get angry at me right away.
Sun Lianzhong drank his tea calmly without making any statement.
“You two, I don’t think it’s possible that Captain Li instigated the looting of supplies.
“He was mainly misled by some clues.
"So the investigation led to Secretary Hong, who made the mistake by accident."
Wu Jingzhong explained on the side.
He didn't mean to help Li Ya.
I was just afraid that Li Ya might be saved by Jianfeng, so I wanted to leave a way out for him so that they could get along well in the future.
"Stationmaster Wu, I can't control the internal fighting in your Security Bureau, but this person is suspected of deliberately sabotaging the chairman's military plan.
"This will be brought to a military court, and all these issues will have to be explained clearly at that time."
Chen Jicheng took over the conversation and pointed at Li Ya coldly:
"Or in other words, you are the lucky ticket.
"Are you trying to stir up a conflict between Commander Sun and Commander Fu?"
Li Ya looked as if he had seen a ghost: "I, I am a red ticket?
“No, two sirs, I don’t understand why this batch of supplies is clearly the arms that Hong Zhiyou colluded with Hong Piao to smuggle.
"I was investigating traitors for the party and the country, but how come I got a ticket instead?"
He argued forcefully.
“Let me tell you.
"This batch of supplies was purchased from Jinhai by General Fu Zuoyi of Zhangyuan on behalf of Stationmaster Wu.
“You captured it well.
"It ruined the Chairman and General Fu's plan to attack Zhangjiakou." Zhang Qun said tactfully.
Some things are one thing to understand in your heart, but cannot be said openly.
Once the news of the Chairman allocating military funds to Fu Zuoyi spread.
Li Zongren and Bai Chongxi would also ask for it.
Should I give it or not when the time comes?
"But the Party and the country's supplies don't use the best trains and national highways, but must use the red ticket transportation lines. Please use the red ticket transportation lines to escort them.
"I'm sorry that I don't understand."
Li Ya frowned and asked inquiringly.
Several superiors and Wu Jingzhong looked at each other, wishing they could strangle this idiot to death.
"This is not something you need to worry about." Zhang Qun said coldly.
"Come here, lock up this bastard who is suspected of colluding with the Red Tickets and undermining the military and national plans.
"Shut him up!"
Zhang Qun ordered.
To shut up!
In the past, in the Military Control Commission, these two words basically meant a secret death penalty.
Li Ya panicked and shouted:
"Commander Sun, Stationmaster, please speak for me. I am really checking the red tickets. I don't know if this batch of supplies..."
"Shut your stinky mouth.
"If you dare mention the word 'supplies' again, I will tear you to pieces."
Wu Jingzhong stood up and pointed at him and shouted.
"Mr. Zhang, he is..." After glaring at Li Ya fiercely, he walked to Zhang Qun and whispered something in his ear.
"is it?
"Please wait a moment. I'm going to make a phone call."
Zhang Qun got up and went to the inner room.
After a while, he came back, his frost-covered face turning into a warm smile:
"Ladies and gentlemen, since Stationmaster Wu said this was a misunderstanding, and this matter is originally an internal conflict of Jinhai Station, I don't think it's appropriate to discuss it openly.
"Everyone should mind their own business. Stationmaster Wu, I'll leave the investigation of Li Ya's matter to you.
"Give Commander Sun, Commander Fu and the headquarters a detailed report later."
"Yes!" Wu Jingzhong stood up and accepted the order.
He knew that Jianfeng was protective and would not abandon Li Ya.
Fortunately, I had a trick up my sleeve, otherwise I wouldn't be able to deal with it openly this time inside the station.
There was a flash of displeasure in Hong Zhiyou's eyes.
It's become such a big deal.
Jianfeng smoothed it over with just one sentence.
Sure enough, it is easier to get things done when there are people in the court.
People are like ants; their life or death depends entirely on their emotions.
"Commander Sun, look at this batch of supplies..." Zhang Qun looked at Sun Lianzhong.
“Since it is the military supplies that Commander Fu purchased from Jinhai.
“Of course it has to be returned.
"I think we should let Secretary Hong continue to escort Zhang Yuan, and then we can explain to Commander Fu when the time comes." Sun Lianzhong said with a smile.
"it is good.
“That’s it.
"It only delayed one night, I don't think Commander Fu will mind it.
"Everyone, get busy."
Zhang Qun ordered.
"Hard."
"Hard."
Wu Jingzhong and his companions shook hands with each other and left the building together.
"Li Ya, why didn't you report your assignment?
"Why am I, a major general station chief, not qualified or can't control you?"
Wu Jingzhong looked at him coldly.
"Stationmaster, it's too late. I'm afraid of disturbing your rest, so I thought of reporting to you today." Li Ya apologized with a smile.
He is no less foul-mouthed and bad-tempered than Marqui.
A stubborn person cannot survive in a place like Yancheng.
Moreover, if you make a mistake, you have to admit it.
If you lose your skills, you have to accept your fate.
This is the rule.
"Is that really the case?" Wu Jingzhong asked.
"Stationmaster, please believe me. I swore the same thing to the chairman." Li Ya raised his hand and swore to the sky.
"Okay, I'll trust your loyalty for now.
"Secretary Hong, how do you explain this?
"People invite you to dinner and arrange benefits for you, but you turn around and want to kill them.
"Are you going too far?"
Wu Jingzhong asked with a sneer.
"Brother Hong, I was negligent this time and believed Qi Dafu's lies.
"I apologize to you."
Li Ya bowed slightly to Hong Zhiyou to apologize.
"Apologize."
Hong Zhiyou smiled, then suddenly raised his hand and slapped Li Ya in the face:
“I treat you as a friend.
“You’re messing with me?
"You picked the wrong person."
As he spoke, he blew the hair on his forehead and smiled more harmlessly: "Remember, I have ten thousand ways to make you disappear forever in Jinhai.
"Don't be shameless."
"I'll remember it!" The slap was very hard. Li Ya turned his head, bit the corner of his lip and nodded.
"Stationmaster, I'm going to escort the car."
Hong Zhiyou didn't even look at him and turned to get into the car.
Wu Jingzhong and Li Ya got into the car.
Arrived at Jinhai Station.
Wu Jingzhong called him to his office and said with a smile, "You got beaten, don't you accept it?"
"No.
"I made a mistake, I admit it." Li Ya sucked his cheek, but there was still a rebellious look in his eyes.
“It’s a mistake or a missed shot, we need to distinguish clearly.
“The turnovers were right.
"It would be stupid to miss it."
“I said Secretary Hong has great energy.
"You don't really think that I use him because he has a good relationship with my daughter.
“Now you can see that he has to do all the work of the chairman and Jianfeng.
“Get your head off your heels and think clearly.
"Will such a person be a popular vote?"
Wu Jingzhong pointed at him and asked in a deep voice.
"Webmaster, maybe I am wrong." Covered by two great gods, Li Ya's eyes softened.
No matter how smart and noble he thought he was, he would never dare to doubt the wisdom of the Chairman and Jianfeng.
"It's not maybe, it's a fact." Wu Jingzhong said.
“But I don’t understand why my master would track down Hong Zhiyou?
“And he personally arrested Hong Zhiyou at Gazikou at that time.
"Stationmaster, you know Section Chief Liu can't be wrong."
Li Ya just couldn't get over this problem.
"Would you rather blindly trust someone who is in collusion with the Central Bureau of Investigation than trust the Chairman?" Wu Jingzhong asked back.
"See for yourself."
Wu Jingzhong took out Liu Xiong's report from the drawer and threw it to Li Ya.
Li Ya was shocked after seeing this.
“He was used by the Central Bureau of Investigation?
"That's right. When a person loses his mind, he will become very stupid. Liu Xiongcha Yu Zecheng went astray and was possessed by the evil spirits. That's why the Central Bureau of Investigation took advantage of him.
“Why did he die?
“It was because I couldn’t figure things out and drank excessively that I was harmed by the refugees.
“Otherwise, with his skills, how could he be killed?
"This is called self-inflicted trouble!"
Wu Jingzhong said, staring at Li Ya intently:
"Will you be the next fool?"
"I see.
"Webmaster, from now on I will stop all investigations against Hong Zhiyou." Li Ya said tactfully.
"And there is Yu Zecheng." Wu Jingzhong said with his chin raised.
"Yes." Li Ya nodded.
“Li Ya, checking red tickets and making money can be done at the same time.
“If you want to get rich, you have to have a good relationship with Secretary Hong.
“If you want to catch a red ticket, I can give you a chance.
"An important leader of the Red Party was instigated to rebel in Beiping. Stationmaster Qiao had just arrived and did not understand the relationship there, so he wanted to secretly transfer this person to Jinhai.
"You go to Peking to pick someone up."
Wu Jingzhong ordered.
"important?
"Webmaster, I've heard this word so often that now every red ticket has to be labeled with this word.
"Why not let Qi Dafu go?"
Li Ya passed by Machang Road yesterday and saw a nice suit shop that had a fashionable gray plaid suit.
There is also a new Hunan restaurant opened on Huaishan Road.
He felt very depressed and wanted to wear better clothes and eat better food to vent his anger.
In this strange yet prosperous city.
Nothing can make him feel safer than a good suit and a good meal.
"no.
“This is a really big fish.
"He was a red-ticket Peking dual leader, and had once followed Wang Shijian in Xi'an to establish a northern intelligence network.
"This time, the sub-stations in Xi'an, Luoyang, Zhengzhou, and Beijing caught a lot of red tickets.
“It’s all thanks to this guy.
"The key is that this person is also in charge of the Jinhai District Committee and the Student Union. If he were to let slip a hint, would you still worry about not having a chance to show up?
“Don’t forget, you’ve ruined your craft twice in a row.
"If you don't make any progress, your superiors will probably question your ability."
Wu Jingzhong advised with a smile.
"You can't get much out of the Student Union or the District Committee." Li Ya curled his lips.
“You are not in a position of oil and water now.
"You want waves that Jianfeng, Luqiaoshan, and everyone else in the station can see."
Wu Jingzhong frowned and said unhappily.
"I see, thank you for your guidance, Station Master.
"I'll take this job."
Li Ya frowned and agreed.
“These are information and photos, so they must be kept confidential and handled with caution.
“This person is now being targeted by the red ticket.
“It’s just that he’s in a high position and is still in the screening process.
"Your men must be quick, accurate, and ruthless. Bring him to Jinhai without anyone noticing and hide him there."
Wu Jingzhong instructed.
“Yuan Peilin?
"I heard that this guy has gone underground. Hey, my luck is so good that even such a senior person has betrayed me.
"I don't think they have a chance in this battle."
Li Ya glanced at the photo and a disdainful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
