Chapter 185: The Clam and the Crane Fight, but the Fisherman Benefits
"Old Xie, there is one thing I don't understand.
"Since Ye Xiufeng has issued a 'hunt and kill' order in your party's communication bureau, why don't you do it yourself?
"If you catch him, Director Ye will at least promote you to major."
Yu Zecheng picked up a piece of mutton with chopsticks, rinsed it, dipped it in the sauce and ate while asking.
“I’m stupid… stupid.
"Ji Weimin dared to do this, I don't know how many senior officials and Director Ye himself were involved.
“If anyone arrests him openly, it means that there is a high probability that the inside story will be uncovered.
"Forget about being rewarded, but being eliminated is certain.
"These people talk about morality and justice, but their hearts are full of knives and poison.
“Knowing too much is a dead end!
“So, you are the only one who can do this.”
Xie Ruolin gave a dry laugh.
As he said this, he put down his chopsticks, walked to the railing of the stairs, and stuffed his left leg into the fence.
Then he suddenly said goodbye with force.
"what!"
With a scream, he flipped over and fell down several steps.
Hong Zhiyou and Yu Zecheng were both stunned.
The two of them hurried over and said, "Old Xie, what... is this?"
“Help me up!
"Let's continue chatting and drinking."
Xie Ruolin said with a face twisted in pain.
"Where is the medicine for traumatic injuries?" Hong Zhiyou asked.
“Don’t…don’t.
“That’s a bit too intense and affects your appetite.
"Don't waste these plates of finely cut lamb."
Xie Ruolin wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and said.
"Old Xie, what are you trying to do?" Yu Zecheng also started stuttering.
“Last time, I helped Sun Chuanzhi buy false information from you.
“A dozen gold bars.
“The results were false.
“He also caused the murder of his lover Zhu Yan, and spent nearly a hundred gold bars to redeem her.
“He hates me more than Wu Jingzhong now.
"If I wasn't lame, the task of arresting Ji Weimin would have fallen on me.
"I call this trading my legs for my life."
Xie Ruolin narrowed his eyes and gave a dry laugh in a very mercenary way.
"Mr. Xie, if that's the case, you might as well resign." Hong Zhiyou suggested.
If it were him, he would encounter such a fatal thing.
He must have been distracted at the first moment.
"Brother, I am not as good as you. I have a powerful father-in-law who is well-versed in all walks of life, and has a solid foundation overseas and in Hong Kong.
“I’m poor and have no background.
"Why should I sit at the same table with you?
"No, isn't it just that I, Old Xie, am brave enough to take risks and be professional enough?
"Without the Party's connection with the bureau, many things won't work. If we can't get money, it's like... like being dead."
Xie Ruolin's eyes were slightly red, and he rubbed his fingers.
“Old Xie, why don’t you go sell bars overseas for me.
"If you keep playing like this, sooner or later you'll get shot in the back."
Hong Zhiyou really admires this genius.
“Let’s… talk about it later.
“I guess it’s soon.
“To be honest with you two, I have come into contact with the party-state, the red ticket, and the democratic.
“People who are famous are really famous for their words.
"No matter what it is, no matter if you risk your life or mountains of gold or silver, you must get it done.
"Look at us, we are rotten to the core.
"Ye Xiufeng, Mao Renfeng, and Bai Chongxi were all focused on their own calculations.
“If this continues, I think it’s over.
"Once Jinhai becomes famous, I will help Brother Hong and sell wine for you in Xiangdao."
Xie Ruolin raised his glass and toasted the two of them.
Immediately, he looked at Yu Zecheng again:
"It might be a good idea to stay."
"All good, all good!" Yu Zecheng raised his chin and raised his glass.
There are some things that everyone knows tacitly.
But you absolutely cannot say it out loud.
After dinner.
The two returned home separately.
"Zhiyou, I guess we'll have to have a morning meeting tomorrow.
"What do you mean by Ji Weimin? Should I fight for it?"
Yu Zecheng waited in the yard, glanced at Sun Ma's room, walked to the corner and asked in a deep voice.
"Don't argue, this will happen to you too." Hong Zhiyou said.
"Why?" Yu Zecheng was puzzled.
"The arrest of Ji Weimin was ordered by the chairman.
“This is a tremendous achievement.
“If Lu Qiaoshan succeeds, no one can stop him from becoming the deputy station chief.
"Li Ya.
"He is good at carrying out operations, but with Lu Qiaoshan holding him back, he can't do anything.
"So, the only person the stationmaster can use is you."
Hong Zhiyou analyzed.
"At the same time, this is also an opportunity for you." He looked at Lao Yu with a smile.
“Let’s talk about it later.
"I don't dare to think of such a good thing."
Yu Zecheng smiled and went back to the house.
Hong Zhiyou entered the house.
Xiaohui is reading a book.
Hong Zhiyou frowned and walked forward to take a look at "The Destiny of China".
Well, that's good.
"You've come back early recently?" Hong Zhiyou poured a cup of tea and chatted for a while.
Since the last time she entered the torture room, my sister has become less naughty and more steady than before.
It seems that no matter how much he said, it would be better for Lao Wu to slap her a few times.
"Yes.
"Didn't you tell me to go out less? So I came back early to be with mom." Hong Xiaohui said.
"Liu Shan hasn't come to see you recently?" Hong Zhi asked with a smile.
"Brother, I told you...Oh, I did look for him. We usually get along pretty well at school.
"You said it, Liu Shan has a future.
"There's no harm in making friends, right?
"As for what happens next, we'll talk about it later."
Hong Xiaohui said playfully.
“Well, it’s okay to have this awareness.
“Xiao Hui.
"You are my only sister. I just want you to live and live well."
Hong Zhiyou touched her head, smiled with relief, and went upstairs.
As soon as he left.
Hong Xiaohui quickly opened the book. The cover read "China's Destiny", but there was another mystery inside, full of red energy.
“Brother, there are many kinds of life.
“How can the world be better?
"They said you were the second-in-command of Jinhai City..."
She murmured under her breath.
Hong Zhiyou stood at the corner of the corridor, looking coldly at the slender figure downstairs.
After a long time, he hurried upstairs.
Picked up the phone and dialed a number:
“Hello, it’s me.
“How are you doing lately?
“Guo Youliang?
"okay, I get it.
"Thank you, see you in the teahouse tomorrow."
"Hey!"
Hong Zhiyou opened the window, looked at the night sky and sighed softly.
The next day.
After practicing, Hong Zhiyou got directly into Yu Zecheng's car.
"Old Yu, Xiaohui is with Guo Youliang.
"I asked Vice President Li last night, they have been very close recently and are very likely in a relationship.
“Could this be Guo Youliang’s trap?
"I have no doubt that Guo Youliang already knows my identity."
Hong Zhi has the Tao.
“Smart.
“I am not familiar with the student union, the district committee, and the labor movement.
"And in order to ensure my secrecy, I can't go and tell you something, because that would make it easy for someone to contact me.
“Young people tend to be more radical than us.
"Xiaohui was not frightened by the torture in the interrogation room, and she only became stronger.
“Compared to most students, she is already a very good fighter.
"Since you have chosen the light, accept it and resign yourself to your fate."
Yu Zecheng glanced at him and said helplessly.
"The question is what should I do?" Hong Zhiyou said.
“Report to the stationmaster.
“Then let it be.
“Although the progressive college student groups are under surveillance, they have not yet been categorized as red tickets and are not being beaten or killed.
“It’s just a rally and shouting slogans.
"I don't think Li Ya and the others would take it too far."
The rest will become the Tao.
"This is the only way." Hong Zhiyou shook his head.
Arrived at the station.
As soon as the two of them walked up to the second floor, they were pulled into the Intelligence Office by Lu Qiaoshan:
"Did you hear that?"
Lu Qiaoshan asked seriously.
"What did you hear?" Yu Zecheng asked with a blink.
"Ji Weimin of the Party Communication Bureau took advantage of his position as the head of the Ludong Economic Investigation Group to collude with local war zone officers to resell large quantities of military supplies. After being reported, he absconded with the money.
"The chairman was furious and ordered Director Mao to solve the case within a certain time limit.
“Now stations across the country are taking action.
“This is the big fish the chairman wants.
“Think about Brother Hong, he dealt with Ke Chengwu and was promoted three levels in a row.
"It's the same with Ji Weimin. If anyone catches him, he will at least be promoted to a higher rank, and he can show his face in front of the chairman, and maybe even have a meal.
"That means just stay where you are..."
Lu Qiaoshan made a flying gesture.
"Such an important mission definitely has no place for us.
“Besides, the arrest operation has always been the responsibility of Captain Li and you.
"Brother Shan, congratulations in advance."
Hong Zhiyou said with a smile.
“Brother.
“Not necessarily.
"The stationmaster and I can't resolve the issue of Fourth Master Zhang.
"Isn't it proof that Hou Yun is here to challenge me?"
"He will definitely not give me such a great achievement." At most, he will let me assist.
"This job will definitely fall into Li Ya's hands."
Lu Qiaoshan said while cupping his hands on the megaphone.
"The problem is that Captain Li has a punishment order in place, so it's useless even if he makes meritorious service." Yu Zecheng frowned.
"Hi.
"Whether to punish or not, isn't it just a matter of words from the old man?
“He is from Jianfeng.
"If Ji Weimin is arrested, Jianfeng will definitely praise Li Ya to the sky in front of the old man.
"By then, let alone deputy station chief, he might even be given the position of station chief with a wave of his hand."
Lu Qiaoshan said with an exaggerated look on his face.
"No way, the commander of a Type A station must be at least a general." Hong Zhiyou said.
“It’s a general officer.
“Don’t forget those lousy generals posted to Hong Kong and overseas. Some of them are older than you and me in terms of seniority.
"When Boss Dai was here, he could be promoted to major general in a matter of minutes as long as the mission required it.
"Li Ya had been to Yancheng before, and he was a hidden loser, but for such a trivial matter, he was regarded as a shitty hero by Jianfeng and the Ministry of National Defense.
"Catching Ji Weimin would be even more incredible.
"It's not impossible to be a general."
Land bridge mountain road.
Yu Zecheng glanced at Hong Zhiyou and said nothing.
"Old Lu, what do you mean?" Hong Zhi understood and asked on his behalf.
"My people reported that Li Ya called Jianfeng in the office last night, and he was organizing the troops early this morning and took away 300 rounds of ammunition from your equipment room.
“This is clearly a big move.
"I mean, between you and Zhi, who will take on this job?
"Brother, I will do my best to cooperate."
Lu Qiaoshan's eyes wandered between the two of them.
“I’ll let it go.
"Dancing with a woman is fine, but arresting someone..."
Hong Zhiyou shook his head and smiled.
“Then it’s Lao Yu.
"You have to take responsibility." Lu Qiaoshan pointed at Yu Zecheng.
"No, no, I'm just a major in the confidential room, I can just follow you and Captain Li and listen to your orders.
"It's not my turn to handle this kind of 'big battle' alone."
Yu Zecheng is as humble as ever.
"Brother, my position as deputy station chief is already set in stone.
“Director Zheng has already made the nomination.
"Mao Renfeng nodded.
"There are eighty-one difficulties, this is the last one, you have to carry it for me.
“Don’t forget, compared to Li Ya, he’s nothing but a shitty hero.
"You are the real hero who was personally recognized and commended by Boss Dai and killed Li Haifeng alone.
“In terms of seniority, you and Li Ya are classmates.
"You can definitely do this job."
Lu Qiaoshan lobbied hard.
The more anxious he was, the more humble Yu Zecheng became.
Finally, Lu Qiaoshan was so anxious that he wanted to hit someone, but Yu Zecheng said calmly:
“Lao Lu, since you said so, I’ll give it a try.
“Let me make it clear first, I can take the blame for you.
“You have to fully support me in terms of intelligence.
“It is a blessing for the party and the country that he was caught.
"If you can't catch me, don't blame me for being incompetent."
"Don't worry, we will definitely catch him." Lu Qiaoshan patted his shoulder.
“Then we’ll leave.
"Oh, you don't mind having a cup of coffee."
Yu Zecheng said with a smile.
"Of course, from now on you can treat this as a coffee shop. Come here often when you have nothing to do. Just pour yourself a cup of coffee when you want to drink." Lu Qiaoshan said, pointing to the freshly ground and brewed coffee.
Yu Zecheng took the cups and they each poured a cup.
"hehe.
“It’s a blessing for the party and the country if they catch him.
"In your dreams!"
Lu Qiaoshan let out a light "Pooh".
He only wanted Yu Zecheng to hold Li Ya back, but he didn't want Yu Ligong to do the work.
Is Ji Weimin so easy to catch?
I have the information, can't I catch him myself?
Hong Zhiyou came to the stationmaster's office and wiped the desk as usual.
Make tea.
Cut the fruit.
After a while, Wu Jingzhong walked in with his hands behind his back and said hurriedly, "Zhiyou, stop wiping.
"Call Lu Qiaoshan, Li Ya... Oh, and Director Yu to the conference room. I need to hold an emergency meeting."
"Okay, teacher."
Hong Zhiyou received the order.
He noticed that the webmaster used the name "Director Yu".
Usually at this time, he would give serious work and important tasks, and then he would call Yu Zecheng the position.
It seems that the webmaster's thoughts are the same as what I guessed.
He was planning to let Buyeo Zecheng take the throne.
Wu Jingzhong opened the drawer, took out two gold bars and put them in his pocket.
Yu Zecheng made a lot of extra money by letting a guy named Xu go yesterday.
We had dinner in the evening and originally planned to share some.
As a result, we were so busy talking about having fun and making money that we forgot to give it.
Just then, Ji Weimin’s case happened.
If we can take this opportunity to push Yu Zecheng forward, then everything will be fine.
Of course, it is difficult to catch Ji Weimin.
But there is always some hope, so we should still try.
"First go to Guanzhong to be the king..."
He put the gold bars in his pocket, put his hands behind his back and walked out of the office humming a little tune.
Arrived at the conference room.
Several capable people have already taken their seats.
When they saw Wu Jingzhong, several people stood up and greeted him.
"sit.
"Have you heard about it?" Wu Jingzhong asked with a smile.
"The stationmaster is talking about Ji Weimin, right?
"I heard about it last night. This national thief even dared to swap hundreds of thousands of winter clothes for soldiers on the front line. I really think he should be cut into pieces."
Li Ya didn't talk much, but was expressing his attitude and willingness to go on the expedition to the stationmaster.
"Yes.
"The stink of this incident has spread all over the world, even the Americans have smelled it, Truman even summoned the ambassador to question him.
"And expressed doubts about our military aid.
"The party and the country have lost all face, and the chairman is furious.
"Ye Xiufeng has something to hide. He openly calls for a thorough investigation, but in reality he drags his feet.
"The chairman has now handed over the arrest task to the Bureau of Secrets.
“Everyone, it’s time to be rewarded for your meritorious service.
"Come on, let's discuss who will take this job."
Wu Jingzhong looked at everyone with a smile.
"Stationmaster, arresting people has always been the job of my action team.
"Do you even need to ask?
"I must catch this kind of thief."
Li Ya raised his face sideways without any pretense.
"Well, then, Li..."
Wu Jingzhong glanced at everyone and pretended to be about to make a decision.
"Captain Li, you are a criminal now. It is inappropriate to arrest Ji Weimin, right?" Lu Qiaoshan said with a smile.
“What’s inappropriate?
"The higher-ups only said that he could not be promoted or rewarded, but they didn't say that they couldn't allow Ji Weimin to be arrested.
"Moreover.
"If you don't do anything, how can you get any merit?"
Li Ya sneered.
“The problem is, you killed Dong Cheng.
“You were the one who lost Yuan Peilin too.
“If you go and arrest Ji Weimin, who knows if Yuan Peilin will escape again.
“From what happened in the past.
"I still recognize Captain Li's ability to manage the student union, labor movement, printing factory and the like.
“But when it comes to catching big fish.
"Honestly, I don't see what skills you have.
“Oh, Tibetans are still okay.
"Catch someone... You've done a lot of embarrassing things in the past month.
"I'm afraid if the stationmaster gives this job to you, Jinhai Station will become a laughing stock in the future."
Lu Qiaoshan sneered.
"The one with the surname Lu, you!"
Li Ya was almost mad.
"Li Ya, Qiao Shan is right.
"You keep losing your skills, and everyone from the station to the headquarters is already very dissatisfied.
"The arrest of Yuan Peilin concerns the reputation of the party and the country, and we cannot afford to be careless.
"In my opinion, Captain Li's intentions are commendable, but it would be better to choose someone else to take charge of the operation."
Wu Jingzhong expressed his position.
"Others, who?
"Director Lu?"
Li Ya asked dissatisfiedly.
"Stationmaster, I am willing to share the worries of the Chairman and you." Lu Qiaoshan said shamelessly.
"Qiaoshan, you are responsible for intelligence and arresting people at the same time, so you may easily make mistakes.
"In my opinion, let Zecheng go.
"The young warrior who assassinated Li Haifeng and was personally commended by Boss Dai.
“I’m a classmate of Captain Li and a veteran of the Qingpu class.
"What do you two think?"
Wu Jingzhong didn't even look at Hong Zhiyou, he only asked Li and Lu.
Although Hong Zhiyou is now the section chief and is qualified to take a seat.
But he would not cause trouble for his "son-in-law" by doing such offensive things.
"Stationmaster, if you want to ask Director Yu, I have no objection." Lu Qiaoshan said with a smile.
"Captain Li, what about you?"
Wu Jingzhong looked at Li Ya.
Li Ya looked at Yu Zecheng with an angry and ugly expression.
He is very clear.
Even if he got the qualification, Lu Qiaoshan would definitely hold him back and make things difficult for him.
It is better to sell the surplus and make a good profit.
Thinking of this, he forced a smile and said, "I have no objection to what Director Yu said."
“Okay, that’s it.
"The task of arresting Ji Weimin is handed over to Zecheng. The meeting is adjourned."
Wu Jingzhong nodded and made the decision.
