Chapter 170: Some tricks
Chapter 170: Some tricks
Party Communications Bureau Office.
Sun Chuanzhi had a gloomy look on his face and paced back and forth restlessly in the room.
"Director, I found out.
“Yuan Peilin is dead.
"Our assassination plan was a success. The Director will surely be very satisfied with your birthday gift."
Wei Jin pretended to be happy and walked in to report his achievements.
"Yuan Peilin is dead.
"I ask you, where are the people you sent?" Sun Chuanzhi asked coldly.
"I asked them to go to other provinces and hide for two months after completing their mission.
“Come back once the storm has died down.
"I guess he has fled far away by now."
Wei Jin pretended to be dumb.
"Let me tell you, the person you sent is now drinking tea in Wu Jingzhong's electric chair.
“Because of your bullshit honeytrap.
"Not only was Zhu Yan dragged away to sleep with someone for nothing, she also died.
“The remaining seven.
"They are also a bunch of rubbish. Wu Jingzhong is now stepping up the interrogation. He insisted that it was Director Ye who ordered me to do it, and threatened to report it to the Ministry of National Defense and the Chairman.
“Once the news is passed on, Director Ye will be furious because he has been wronged.
"When the time comes, you and I will just have to pack up and get shot."
Sun Chuanzhi pointed at him and cursed at him.
“Seven people?
"I clearly only sent three people. Zhu Yan is already dead. Where did the remaining five come from?" Wei Jin frowned in confusion.
"Is it even necessary to think about it?
“Those five people must have been the ones who killed the person.
"The Secret Service hates us more than the red tickets do.
"It's obvious that you want to put the blame on me."
Sun Chuanzhi said angrily.
"Director, we can't just let them throw mud at us. We should report this to the headquarters and ask someone to investigate and mediate," Wei Jin suggested.
"You are a pig-brained person.
"Wu Jingzhong has caught him in the act. If we expose him, Director Ye will never be able to clear himself even if he jumps into the Yellow River.
"Do you know why Wu Jingzhong is holding back on reporting this?
"He's waiting for me to express my opinion."
Sun Chuanzhi put his left hand on his waist and rubbed his sore temples with his right hand, completely speechless.
I have such a stupid subordinate.
I'm so unlucky.
Why don’t I have any reliable subordinates to help me make money and solve problems?
and many more.
Wu Jingzhong has a friend named Hong Zhiyou who is also known as “Tianjin-Haitong”.
Don’t you also have a “money expert” named Xie Ruolin?
How could I forget about this guy?
"Go, go, go call Xiao Xie." Sun Chuanzhi waved his hand impatiently.
"Yes."
A hint of jealousy flashed in Wei Jin's eyes, and he walked out unhappily.
He just couldn't figure it out.
Why is it that Xie Ruolin, a country bumpkin with ordinary background, no connections, and a stutterer, has so many people surrounding him in the station?
"Xiao Xie, the director wants you to go to the office." Wei Jin came into the archive room and shouted to Xie Ruolin who was sorting documents.
"It's Section Chief Wei...
“Section Chief, Master Mei’s disciples will be performing at Shengping Theater soon.
"I got you two theater tickets.
“You and your sister-in-law can go and listen when you are free.
"Please accept it."
Xie Ruolin laughed dryly and took out two theater tickets and handed them over.
"How do you know I like listening to opera?" Wei Jin raised his eyebrows and looked at him.
"Your wife is from a scholarly family and is an old Pekingese, so of course she doesn't like this.
"Chief Wei.
"I, I don't have any special abilities, and I don't have any rank.
"It's just a hard life of being a mouth to feed.
"Please take care of me in the future."
Xie Ruolin smiled flatteringly.
Wei Jin was originally a little annoyed with this guy, but after hearing this, his anger subsided a lot.
Come to think of it.
This guy is nothing. Should I be jealous of him?
"go quickly."
Wei Jin waved his hand disdainfully and turned away.
"Pooh!
"What the hell."
Xie Ruolin stared at his receding back and spat.
Arrived at the office.
Sun Chuanzhi quickly called out, "Close the door, Xiao Xie, come here quickly."
The two came to the sofa.
Sun Chuanzhi poured him tea personally and said with a smile, "Xiao Xie, how many years have you been with me?"
"When Jinhai was liberated, you came to Jinhai to take charge, and I worked as a clerk in the archives room.
"Yes, it's been two years."
Xie Ruolin smiled respectfully yet friendly.
"I remembered.
“At that time, Director Liu had the final say, and I was the deputy director.
"He disliked your stuttering and made fun of you. He even considered firing you at one point."
Sun Chuanzhi pointed at him and laughed loudly.
“Yes, it was called the Central Committee at that time.
"It was you who saved me, otherwise I would have left long ago.
"In my heart, you are my adopted parents and my biological elder brother."
Xie Ruolin's eyes reddened and he stood up and bowed to him.
“Have a seat.
"You are mine, let's have a heart-to-heart talk today.
"You have helped me a lot in the past two years. I have seen your ability. Our party's Tong Bureau is not as troublesome as the Military Control Commission in terms of promotion and rank.
"Within us, as long as we are positive and motivated.
"I still have the final say on whether to promote a section chief or something like that."
Sun Chuanzhi drew a picture of a pancake, crossed his legs, lit a cigarette and continued:
“I know why Wu Jingzhong’s career has become more and more stable.
"Why don't you go to Shanghai with Jianfeng to get promoted and get a higher rank? Why do you have to stay in Jinhai?"
"I...I don't know. Please teach me." Xie Ruolin pretended to be stupid.
"To tell you the truth, Wu Jingzhong has made more money privately than a group commander. Who in Jinhai doesn't go to him for help?
"Even our basic municipal government, garrisons, and even the benefits from foreigners, he is making a lot of money from them.
“Why?
"Isn't it because he has a secretary from 'Jinhaitong' who specializes in taking on jobs?
"Xiao Xie, I think your brain and methods are no worse than that Secretary Hong.
“You have to learn from others and not just sell intelligence.
“How much is this thing worth?
"You have to set up the stall like Hong Zhiyou did."
Sun Chuanzhi knocked on the table and gave a clear reminder.
"Director, since you said that, I...I can give it a try." Xie Ruolin said with a smile.
But there were bursts of cold laughter in my heart.
Who is Hong Zhiyou?
I have American classmates.
There is the protection of the big brother of the Cao Gang.
He is Wu Jingzhong's brother-in-law.
I always eat with him.
The key point is that you, Sun Chuanzhi, can't be compared with Old Wu.
He is as timid as a mouse, can do nothing well and can only play with women.
The Party’s Tongju Bureau doesn’t have a thorough understanding of the situation in Jinhai, so it’s risking its life to set up a stall.
"Ok.
"That's right. There's a job right now that needs your help." Sun Chuanzhi said with a smile.
"Director, please speak." Xie Ruolin said.
"Your last intelligence was very accurate. Yuan Peilin was indeed hiding in Xiuchunlou, but Wei Jin messed up last night." Sun Chuanzhi said.
“Yuan Peilin was killed by a red ticket?
"This is a good thing!
"Why did it break?"
The news about Xiuchunlou was strictly prohibited, and Xie Ruolin had never heard any news about it.
“People were killed with red tickets.
“It has nothing to do with us.
“Wei Jin sent three idiots, and Zhu Yan was slept with for nothing and lost his life.
“Two other people were caught red-handed.
"Now Wu Jingzhong has put all the seven people he caught on our heads.
"What do you say?"
Sun Chuanzhi raised his hand and asked in distress.
"Director, this is very troublesome.
"Yuan Peilin is the gold nugget of the Bureau of Secrets, and the person in charge of this matter is Li Ya, a disciple of Jianfeng.
"Poke it up there.
"Director Ye can't save himself. The last incident with Zhong Wangguo hasn't been resolved yet, and now this has happened. He will definitely drag you out to take the blame."
Xie Ruolin frowned and said bluntly.
"Yes, that's why I want you to settle this matter.
"Wu Jingzhong's tone was very tough.
"But he has blocked this matter now. What do you think that means?"
Sun Chuanzhi actually guessed it, but he wanted to hear Xie's opinion.
"It's simple.
“He wants Jinhai to digest it internally.
“The ones who did the red ticket must be the anti-traitor team.
“Wu Jingzhong doesn’t want to offend these people.
"I don't want to be used as a pawn by Mao Renfeng and openly oppose Ye Xiufeng.
“So, he left enough room for maneuver.
"It depends on whether you are willing to reconcile, Director."
After Xie Ruolin's analysis, he stopped stuttering.
"Do you know Hong Zhiyou?" Sun Chuanzhi asked.
"know."
"Okay, talk to him. As long as the conditions are reasonable, everything can be negotiated." Sun Chuanzhi said.
"Yes, Director." Xie Ruolin accepted the order.
“No outsiders, call me brother.
"Brother, whether I can survive this disaster depends entirely on you."
Sun Chuanzhi held Xie Ruolin's hands with both hands and gave him solemn instructions.
"rest assured.
"I, I will definitely talk it over for you."
Xie Ruolin took the order and left.
……
Tongyuan Bookstore.
Yu Zecheng walked in.
He didn't bring Cuiping this time.
It’s because he’s afraid Cuiping will beat up Manager Luo.
After a brief eye contact, the two came to the warehouse at the back.
"Then we will become comrades.
"Last night, comrades from the Anti-Traitor Team sneaked into Xiuchun Tower and successfully assassinated Yuan Peilin.
"Unfortunately, the anti-traitor team was arrested.
"I called you here because..."
As soon as Luo Anping met, he spoke first.
Before he finished speaking, Yu Zecheng interrupted him:
“The assassination failed.
“The person they killed last night was a man named Guo Liang.
“He is Yuan Peilin’s assistant.
"This is the trap set by Li Ya, the purpose is to lure out the assassins from the Anti-Traitor Team and the Party Connection Bureau.
"You fell into the trap."
"What?" Luo Anping was shocked.
"Comrade Yu, are you sure?" He held his forehead and asked in disbelief.
"Sure.
“Yuan Peilin is now in Li Ya’s hands. Apart from him, even Wu Jingzhong doesn’t know about it.
"I advised you..."
Yu Zecheng shook his head and did not continue to attack him.
Luo Anping lost all his energy and spirit in an instant. He slumped down in his chair, muttering:
“No, it won’t.
"You must have made a mistake."
Yu Zecheng glanced at him and didn't argue.
"The shopkeeper's."
At this time, Luo Bing's voice came from outside the door.
"Come in." Luo Anping said.
Luo Bing leaned over and whispered something in his ear.
Luo Anping's face lost all color. After Luo Bing left, he stood up and bowed to Yu Zecheng to apologize:
"Comrade Zecheng, the organization has been determined.
“Your reminder is correct.
“It was my carelessness and arbitrary decision that harmed several comrades in the anti-traitor team.
“I take full responsibility.
"I apologize to you at the same time."
Yu Zecheng said calmly: "Lao Luo, now is not the time to discuss responsibility.
“You have just arrived in Jinhai and are not familiar with the people and environment here, so it is inevitable that you will make mistakes.
"The most urgent task at hand is to rescue the comrades in the anti-traitor team.
"Wu Jingzhong now wants to use the death of 'Yuan Peilin' as an excuse to cause trouble for the Dangtong Bureau and Ye Xiufeng.
“This is also a good opportunity for us to rescue.
“Wu Jingzhong wants to make money from this, so the Dangtong Bureau will definitely have to bleed, and we are no exception.
“You raise money as quickly as possible.
"So I can go buy someone."
"Funds?" Luo Anping frowned in embarrassment.
“To be honest, the organization’s funding is very tight.
"I still owe the bookstore and the landlord some money. Can you think about how much US dollars it would cost to redeem one person?"
he asked quietly.
"At least five thousand, and probably tens of thousands at most." Yu Zecheng said.
"what!
"This is even more difficult than the execution ground." Luo Anping's face was filled with sorrow.
“There are ways to make money even if you don’t have it.
"Let those comrades insist that they are connected to the Party and the Bureau.
"Let Ye Xiufeng pay for it."
Yu Zecheng thought about it and said.
He originally wanted to find Yong Jianqiu.
But Zhangjiakou was lost, and the front line in North China was further compressed by the 11th and 12th Army Groups. The National Army in Suixi was also launching a frantic counterattack against General Su.
The war is getting more intense day by day.
Medicine, munitions, and food were like a bottomless pit. Buying from the black market or the Nationalist army often came at a premium, and transportation had to be arranged by various parties.
Even though Mr. Yong's daughter runs a mine in North America, she is still struggling to make ends meet.
"Why.
"Blame me!"
Luo Anping slapped his thigh in annoyance, then said expectantly:
"Comrade Zecheng, everything depends on you."
Yu Zecheng nodded and walked out silently and steadily.
……
Return to the station.
Yu Zecheng looked around and came to Hong Zhiyou's office.
"Old Lu is here too." He greeted with a smile.
"It's okay, I just came here to complain.
"Did you hear that?"
Lu Qiaoshan asked with a smile.
"What?" Yu Zecheng looked curious.
“Li Ya hired two cooks.
“A Sichuan chef.
“A chef of Anhui cuisine.
“It is said that all chefs from the eight major cuisines will be invited.
"Our Captain Li, Yuan Peilin is missing, and he still has the mind to study food."
Lu Qiaoshan shook his head disdainfully.
“Food is the first necessity of the people.
"Hai Qingtian still has time to buy pork."
"Captain Li has eaten too much loess in Yancheng, so I understand he wants to improve the food."
Yu Zecheng said with a smile.
“It’s nothing.
"Whose house does Li Ya live in?" Lu Qiaoshan blinked and laughed dryly.
"It's Maguire's.
"Zhiyou bought the household items for him personally." Yu Zecheng said.
"My people in the action team said.
"Li Ya invited them to dinner at his home, and there was a framed photo next to his pillow that Zhou Gendi had not taken away.
"I hug you and have sweet dreams every day.
"You said this guy is not bad looking and holds an important position, wouldn't it be good for him to marry a wife?
"Just do this kind of dirty thing.
"A mean person is a mean person. No matter how much hair wax he uses or how fancy his suit is, he can't hide his rusticity."
Lu Qiaoshan shook his head and sneered.
"It's indeed a bit too much. He's not afraid that Ma Kui will come to find him at night." Yu Zecheng joked.
"As the ancients said, when you are well fed and warm, you will think about your desires.
"This person is afraid of being poor, and he is always after having enough food and clothing, as for wine, sex, money and anger, sex is always what he wants.
"Nowadays, when you marry a wife, she usually comes with a family, including parents, brothers and sisters. No matter if it's possible, you still have to spend money.
"Captain Li doesn't want to marry, just for the fun of taking photos, this is called economical and practical."
Hong Zhiyou also laughed when he heard it.
Don't mention it.
Li Ya is aware of the need to start a family and build a career.
"By the way, Old Lu, how was the interrogation of Qi Dafu going?" Hong Zhiyou asked.
“That goes without saying.
"He tore my mouth to pieces, and I finally got rid of the anger in my heart.
“Besides, whether or not to try the matter has already been determined.
"It must be Qi Dafu who colluded with the party and killed Yuan Peilin.
“That’s what the stationmaster meant.
"There's no other way. Jianfeng is behind that person. If something big happens, Qi Dafu must be the scapegoat.
Lu Qiaoshan's eyes became fierce, and then he smiled gently.
"The art of being a leader is to sacrifice the small to protect the big," said Yu Zecheng.
Hong Zhiyou refilled their cups of tea.
He could see that something was wrong with Yu Zecheng.
However, since Lao Yu is not in a hurry, I don't need to be in a hurry either.
It's also good to listen to for fun.
“I’m very strange.
"You said that Yuan's murder was such a big deal, why didn't the stationmaster report it?"
Speaking of this, Lu Qiaoshan whispered:
“I called Director Zheng.
“He told me to leave it alone.
"What do you mean by that?"
"What do you mean? I guess the higher-ups don't want to make a big deal out of it." Yu Zecheng knew it but didn't say anything, leading Lu Qiaoshan to tell it himself.
"fart.
"We are old enemies of the Central Bureau of Investigation and Statistics. How can Mao Renfeng let go of this good opportunity?
"In my opinion, the person who died in Xiuchunlou was not Yuan Peilin."
Lu Qiaoshan expressed his opinion.
"Old Lu, don't dare to say anything nonsense.
"How could the elaborate plan set up by Station Master and Station Master Qiao be fake?"
Hong Zhi gave a serious reminder.
“I didn’t believe it at first.
“But the facts are here, I was also deceived by Li Ya and his group.
"Just wait until the matter of the party collusion is settled.
"Li Ya will definitely make great contributions.
"This person is shady."
Lu Qiaoshan said this, then stood up and said:
"No more talking. The station chief asked me to go to the poll bureau for a meeting. It's almost time."
"Old Lu, you said the stationmaster doesn't respect you.
“Many people dream of being able to appear at meetings.
"You are in charge of all the meetings, big and small, and all the important matters."
Yu Zecheng joked.
"Hey, hard work.
“Let’s go!
"Just wait, if you dare to play tricks on me, I will get back my lost skills sooner or later. Yuan Peilin can't hide it."
Lu Qiaoshan said something harsh and walked out.
"Is there something?" Hong Zhi closed the door, poured out the remaining tea for Lu Qiaoshan and asked.
"have.
"I've talked to the higher-ups, but they don't have the money to redeem me." Yu Zecheng said helplessly.
“If you don’t have money, what’s the point of talking?
"The stationmaster doesn't run a Buddhist temple."
Hong Zhiyou looked at him and rolled his eyes speechlessly.
“They really have no money.
"Mr. Yong is also short of money right now.
“I really have no choice.
"Why not just attribute the crime to the Party Affairs Bureau and let them pay for it?"
Yu Zecheng said with a negotiating smile.
"It can only be the.
"I'll go talk to the stationmaster and see if he can relent."
Hong Zhi has the Tao.
"It's up to you, brother." Yu Zecheng said gratefully.
When I arrived at the stationmaster's office, Wu Jingzhong was reviewing documents.
"Stationmaster, someone from the Party Communications Bureau contacted me and Sun Chuanzhi expressed his willingness to redeem the person." Hong Zhiyou said.
“He’s quite sensible.
"How does he want to redeem it?" Wu Jingzhong asked.
"He said he was willing to pay ten gold bars per person to redeem his two men." Hong Zhiyou said.
"two?
"Have you contacted Hongpiao?" Wu Jingzhong asked.
"Mr. Yong has also passed a message to Hongpiao, saying...that they can't come up with the money." Hong Zhiyou said.
“Will there be no money in the red ticket?
"Doesn't Yong Jianqiu have a mine at home? How could he be short of money?" Wu Jingzhong snorted in dissatisfaction.
“The soldiers are in a tight spot lately.
"Yong Jianqiu has invested most of his assets, and he really can't get the money to turn around.
"Teacher, this is what I think.
“Let’s not talk about whether Yong Jianqiu has money or not.
“Director Lu has already called Director Zheng to ask.
“He has figured out that Yuan is not dead.
"Given his relationship with Li Ya, this news will spread sooner or later.
"So every day this person stays in your hands, his value will depreciate by one cent, and he may even be worthless in the end.
“It would be better to take advantage of Sun Chuanzhi’s rush to put out the fire and pack everything up for him.
“The Party Tong Bureau has a lot of money.
“It is said that the confiscated property of Zhong Wangguo from the Jinhai Economic Investigation Team filled a truck, and the gold bars and US dollars were countless.
"Sun Chuanzhi has always been a man who only takes in money and never spends it out, so he must have a lot of money.
"At worst, we can just kill them a little harder.
“It doesn’t matter whose money you make.
"Selling red tickets to the anti-traitor team is a favor to them. These people are not easy to mess with. Just consider it as a good relationship."
Hong Zhiyou persuaded in a gentle voice.
“Hey, these guys bought arms and intelligence and had money, so they pretended to be dead when they were asked to redeem people.
"Okay, Sun Chuanzhi will have to pay for it.
"Tell him not to cheat, not to play dirty tricks, and not to force me to go to the Party Communication Bureau to arrest him!"
Wu Jingzhong pointed to the ceiling and said "don't" three times in a row, his attitude was quite firm.
"Teacher, don't worry, Sun Chuanzhi is like a frightened bird right now.
“I’ll let Director Yu decide the price.
“Collect the money, and let Long Er go when the time comes.
“Even if someone investigates this matter in the future, they will say that it was the Cao Gang who discovered that Sun Chuanzhi kept a mistress and embezzled money, and they blackmailed him privately.
“It has nothing to do with you or Jinhai Station.
"You released him afterwards only because you found out through investigation that Guo Liang was killed by mistake because he was jealous of another prostitute."
Hong Zhiyou had already prepared a plan.
Wu Jingzhong smiled with satisfaction: "Yes, you are becoming more and more like me in my old days.
“However, it’s not appropriate to get beheaded for jealousy.
“Just say it was a red ticket assassination.
"He is also a traitor, so just consider it as a bonus. I contributed five heads of money and gave them a good reputation for killing traitors.
"As for good karma, we still have to make it."
"Yes, teacher is wise." Hong Zhiyou said respectfully.
……
three days later.
Outside Liujia Town.
Wearing sunglasses and a Tang suit, Long Er, looking extremely cold, got out of the car and walked towards Xie Ruolin.
Xie Ruolin took out a small black suitcase from the car and handed it to the gangster respectfully:
"Boss Long, thank you for your hard work."
Long Er put his glasses on his nose, opened the box and took a quick look to confirm that the goods were in good condition, then got into the car and left without saying a word.
Xie Ruolin shrugged self-deprecatingly.
Sun Chuanzhi also asked him to be the second Hong Zhiyou.
Hong Zhiyou and Long Er are so good that they are like one.
As for myself.
In Long Er's eyes, he's nothing.
Hey.
Comparing people to each other is so irritating.
Xie Ruolin shook his head, turned around and got into the car.
……
Jinhai Station, stationmaster's office.
“Stationmaster, this was brought by Long Er.
"Please order a little."
Yu Zecheng handed over the box.
Wu Jingzhong took a quick look and asked in surprise, "Why are there so many?"
"Teacher, Director Yu has reduced the price to fifteen sticks per person, which is five more than the original price." Hong Zhiyou explained.
"Pity.
“If I had known this guy had so many gold bars hidden at home, I could have cut down twenty bars each.
"The students are incompetent and have let their teachers down."
Yu Zecheng sighed with regret.
"Why.
“Not disappointed, not disappointed.
"Zecheng, do you know why I have been distancing myself from you recently?"
Wu Jingzhong closed the box and pulled him to sit on the sofa.
“Students generally understand.
"In the matter of Liu Xiong and Ma Kui, I was somewhat implicated by the suspicion of being a red ticket.
"The teacher is protecting me by telling me to stay away from trouble."
Yu Zecheng answered respectfully.
"That's right." Wu Jingzhong squinted and smiled.
“You and Zhiyou are like my left and right hands, neither of you can be missing.
“You’re your own family.
"If you suffer a little injustice or loss, it's your own business. You can make up for it when the time comes.
“Unlike some outsiders, who have to be praised.
“If you offend someone, they will bear a grudge.
"So, when things go wrong, I can only let you and Zhiyou down. Do you understand what I mean?"
Wu Jingzhong patted the back of his hand.
"The students understand." Yu Zecheng nodded.
"Come to my house for dinner tonight." Wu Jingzhong nodded with satisfaction.
After drinking a sip of tea, he got down to business:
“The current problem is that Yuan Peilin is still in hiding.
“No one knows except Li Ya.
“I tried to get him to talk a few times, but he was very cunning and didn’t quite trust me.
“Now I leave this task to you two.
"Today I will use some tricks on Li Ya. You two must find this Yuan Peilin within three days and make him disappear forever.
"Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to stop Deputy Station Master Li Ya even if I wanted to."
"Yes!"
The two generals obeyed the order.
"Go ahead and call Li Ya in.
"Zheng Jiemin and I have to discuss him carefully today."
Wu Jingzhong's eyes became fierce and he shook his chin.
The two of them retreated tactfully.
Soon, Li Ya walked in.
Wu Jingzhong waved his hand with a cheerful look on his face: "Come, have some fruit. I have good news to tell you."
