Chapter 188 You are so devilish
Chapter 188 You are so devilish
Wu Jingzhong hurried to the basement.
The torture room.
Ji Weimin was tied to a chair, wrapped in a cotton coat and shivering all over.
Wu Jingzhong gave him a look.
Hong Zhiyou closed the door and went outside to guard.
The person inside is the God of Wealth.
If you pry open his mouth, you can get a lot of things.
“Ji Weimin.
"We have met before at the regular meeting of the Ministry of National Defense." Wu Jingzhong poured him a cup of water, pulled a chair and sat down opposite him with his legs crossed.
"Yes, yes, I have." Ji Weimin held the hot water in both hands and drank it quickly.
“The news of your arrest has spread.
“The Jingling Security Bureau headquarters and Ye Xiufeng’s special envoy have arrived in Jinhai.
“We have no interest in the Ministry of Defense or the garrison.
“But the information that is unfavorable to Ye Xiufeng is different.
"Director Mao's intention is to let me give you a good beating.
"The rules in our two families are similar. As an old man in the Party and the Bureau, you should be familiar with the torture system.
“All of these need to be reviewed.”
Wu Jingzhong pointed to the blazing stove next to him.
"Stationmaster Wu, I am so delicate and tender that I will definitely see the King of Hell if I go through this again.
“You, please send me to Jingling.
"Just let the military court sentence me, please."
Ji Weimin had lived a life of luxury for many years, but when he saw those bloodstained torture instruments, his face trembled with fear.
"Send you to Jingling?
"Okay, I'll go ask God."
Wu Jingzhong smiled at him, glanced at Hong Zhiyou, and went to the monitoring room next door with his hands behind his back.
There are some things he is not comfortable saying.
Only Hong Zhiyou can go and talk to him.
"Mr. Ji, relax."
Hong Zhiyou pulled a chair and sat down opposite Ji Weimin, crossing his legs.
“My name is Hong Ji-you.
"I'm Station Master Wu's secretary. Your sister should have mentioned me to you."
He lit a cigarette and handed it to Ji Weimin.
Ji Weimin stretched his head to take a bite, and quickly took a few sips and flattered:
“I mentioned that you, you are Jin Haitong.
"She also asked me to contact you and go to Xiangdao through your route.
“Oh, I was too conceited.
"If I were to look for you, I'd probably have already gone to Hong Kong Island or abroad."
Hong Zhiyou shook his leather shoes, leaned back slightly and said, "You are also a man with great connections. Thank you for your high regard. I will not beat around the bush and will speak directly to you.
“You want a court-martial?
"It's because you have a wide network of contacts in the Ministry of Defense. Someone will protect you. I believe there is a high probability that you will be protected, at least you won't be shot.
"But the prerequisite is that you can go to Jingling alive."
"What, what do you mean?" Ji Weimin asked panicked.
“Ye Xiufeng’s special envoy has arrived in Jinhai.
“If my guess is correct, your people will offer me a huge price to silence me.
“You know, some people want you dead more than we do.
"It's easy to kill you.
"For example, committing suicide out of fear of crime!
"The reasons are sufficient and no one can find fault with it, including the chairman."
Hong Zhiyou adjusted his new gold-rimmed glasses with chains, and his gentle and feminine smile was tinged with ruthlessness.
“I, I know.
"I know all the rules, Secretary Hong, and I won't hide it from you that Secretary General Kuang from the headquarters will protect me.
"He has a say with the Chairman and He Yingqin.
"As long as you can let me go to Jingling alive, please, please..."
Ji Weimin held the water cup and pleaded.
“It’s not difficult to say.
“Our Stationmaster Wu is a Confucian general, and he has always been lenient to his subordinates and guilty people.
“He doesn’t like to use these messy things.
"It only takes a few words to save you from physical pain.
“It’s not difficult to send you to Jingling.
"You know, his roots are no worse than Ye Xiufeng's."
Hong Zhiyou said lightly.
“Yes, I understand.
"Stationmaster Wu can have a say with Jianfeng and Zheng Jieming.
“He is a first-rate general, a truly influential figure.
"Secretary Hong, as long as you can protect me, I am willing to agree to any conditions of Stationmaster Wu."
Ji Weimin nodded like a chicken pecking at rice.
"Tell me where that box of US dollars of yours came from." Hong Zhi teased him a little.
"One hundred and fifty thousand dollars was obtained from foreign exchange and from foreign banks.
“This is all recorded.
"The other tens of thousands of dollars were exchanged from someone on the black market."
Ji Weimin said.
"The Kong and Song families are the only ones who can get so much US dollars at this time.
“No wonder people outside call you Ji Caishen.
“All this money has to be handed over.
"If you want to go to Jingling safely, it won't work just by talking nonsense. You need real money to make it work."
Hong Zhiyou raised his eyebrows and tapped his chin lightly.
“Understood. Understood.
"I, I have a house in Jinhai, which contains some antiques, calligraphy and paintings, opium, gold bars and other hard currencies that I treasure.
“I also have two houses in Qingdao with a lot of stuff in the basement.
“These are all treasures that I didn’t have time to pour out.
"I know your Station Master Wu is also an expert. He will definitely be satisfied if he finds out what he has found."
Ji Weimin said.
"Go ahead." Hong Zhi nodded.
“First, let’s talk about Qingdao.
“I have to make sure you can keep me safe.
"As for Jin Hai's private collection, unless I see an escort order from the Ministry of National Defense and the Bureau of Security, I would rather let those treasures rot in my stomach."
Ji Weimin said.
"Well, that's fair." Hong Zhiyou agreed.
Ji Weimin quickly gave the addresses of two houses in Qingdao.
After Hong Zhi wrote it down in his mind, he went to the monitoring room next door.
"Delete the recording first." Wu Jingzhong pointed at the equipment.
Hong Zhi had watched a lot of "Far East Intelligence Station" and he quickly and skillfully deleted the interrogation recording.
After ensuring safety.
He looked at Wu Jingzhong: "Teacher, what do you think?"
"Tsk!
“This person is very troublesome.
“Too much greed.
"Countless eyes are watching across the country... If I don't take all these treasures, they will be taken abroad by a scourge like Lu Qinzhai. I will feel sad and guilty.
"Take it, or you might get into trouble."
Wu Jingzhong stood up, put his hands behind his back, frowned and exclaimed.
He is greedy.
But I still have a clear idea in my mind about what I can take and what I cannot take.
"Yes, the chairman is currently trying to raise funds for the army, and catching corruption is just one of the means.
“Ji Weimin is such a fat fish.
“Anyone who dares to take it would be snatching food from the mouths of the Chairman and the Central Army.
“That’s bound to be something big.
"Teacher, that box of money alone is worth two hundred thousand U.S. dollars, which is enough to cover the military purchase and material expenses of Fu Zuoyi's entire war zone."
Hong Zhiyou frowned and said with concern.
“Two hundred thousand!
"Where did this guy get so much US dollars?" Wu Jingzhong was also dumbfounded.
“He plays the big game.
"It's inevitable that you will be involved with foreign companies, so naturally there are many ways to make money." Hong Zhiyou said.
"Teacher, there is room for maneuver with this amount of money."
Hong Zhi looked around and lowered his voice even more.
"How to do it? The money taken out by the foreign bank is easy to trace." Wu Jingzhong said.
“Only $150,000 is documented to be in there.
“The rest were bought by Ji Weimin from the black market.
“It is said that it costs tens of thousands of dollars.
“We’ll set aside 20,000 black notes for confiscation, and the remaining tens of thousands can be withheld.
“Even if there are capable people at headquarters, go to the black market to investigate.
“Twenty thousand dollars is not a small amount and it is not easy to collect.
“The headquarters will think we are clean and even hand over the black money.
"Take less to keep safe, that's good."
Hong Zhiyou smiled.
“That makes sense.
"What can you do these days to earn tens of thousands of dollars?
"What do you think of the antiques in his houses?"
Wu Jingzhong was very satisfied with this proposal.
"In my opinion, those houses are most likely targeted and are going to be taken away..." Wu Jingzhong shook his head.
"teacher.
"This is a branding iron, a poison, and something bad will happen if you swallow it.
“I mean turn it in.
“Including things from Jinhai’s private residence.
“But you can extract some of the really valuable money.
“If you can take one, take one.
"An antique, a genuine old thing, maybe a small bowl is worth a whole cart of bottles and jars.
“As for calligraphy and paintings, try not to take any.
"People in Jingling like to pretend to be cultured, so you should keep the good ones.
"Those people will naturally think that we are honest and innocent.
"If we can get three or five, our work won't be in vain!"
Hong Zhiyou said.
Wu Jingzhong smiled and nodded with satisfaction:
"I think so too.
"You also know that I have never been very interested in calligraphy and painting. They are difficult and troublesome to maintain.
"Just do as you say."
"Teacher, after finishing this job, your relationship with Jianfeng will definitely be stabilized. This is the real benefit." Hong Zhiyou said with a smile.
The three old classmates had a very unhappy quarrel over the last incident involving Deputy Station Master Li Ya.
This is a good opportunity to repair it.
"yes!
"Jianfeng cannot tolerate any injustice and hates corruption the most. We not only arrested Ji Weimin, but also completed the chairman's mission.
“Return the stolen goods cleanly.
"He has to be looked up to."
Wu Jingzhong said.
"Let Zecheng pick the things. He is quite steady in doing things." He said after a pause.
Hong Zhiyou knew that Wu Jingzhong didn't want him to be involved.
Furthermore, I want to increase my achievements.
Arresting people and clearing stolen goods are both great achievements.
In this way, the position of deputy webmaster is secured.
"I understand." Hong Zhi nodded.
"There is another troublesome matter at the moment. Ye Xiufeng sent an envoy named Li Wensen to Jinhai.
“This person and I are old friends.
“In name it’s visiting friends, but in reality it’s lobbying.
"I guess they will give me a lot of benefits and want to kill Ji Weimin. I am in a difficult position to be caught in the middle."
Wu Jingzhong started talking about his troubles again.
“To be honest, with the situation like this right now, people are restless and I really don’t want to offend anyone.
"Especially villains like Ye Xiufeng and Mao Renfeng!"
He frowned.
"Teacher, if the enemy comes, we will fight him with our generals and if the water comes, we will block it with earth. Otherwise, let me meet this Mr. Li." Hong Zhiyou said.
"Alright.
“He wanted to invite me to dinner today.
"I declined and will see him again after I have collected all the stolen goods.
"You will go with me then."
“No matter what conditions Ye Xiufeng offers, don’t agree to them.
“It’s best to pass this difficult question back to Levinson.
"Our advantage is that we don't interrogate or ask any questions, so we don't know anything about Ye Xiufeng.
"As for Ji Weimin going to Jingling, he can sell whoever he wants. "Ye Xiufeng is very capable, go there and find someone to shut Ji Weimin up."
Wu Jingzhong said experiencedly.
"Okay." Hong Zhiyou took the order.
The two returned to the office.
Wu Jingzhong picked up the phone receiver and didn't rush to dial:
"My intuition tells me that Ji Weimin's truly valuable things must be in Jinhai."
"Well, it's very possible that Jinhai can be resold." Hong Zhiyou agreed deeply.
"We have to ask Jianfeng to step in and get the order to transfer him, otherwise this guy won't spit it out." Wu Jingzhong said.
As he spoke, he turned the dial with his fingers, and when it was connected, he said:
"Wu Jingzhong, station chief of the Bureau of Secret Affairs Jinhai Station, connecting to the second official residence, please transfer."
Soon, Jianfeng's voice was heard from the other side.
Wu Jingzhong quickly reported:
"Why.
“Yes, yes.
“That’s Yu Zecheng, the man who shot Li Haifeng dead.
"It's him.
“From investigation to arrest, it took less than 24 hours.
"The person is in the secret service now, completely confused.
"That's what I thought.
"Ji Weimin knows too much. If it were to be exposed, it would damage the reputation of the party and the country.
"Whether it's Jinhai Station or the Security Bureau headquarters, I think it's better not to interfere.
"I'll hand it over directly to the chairman and you for your decision.
“Don’t worry, the stolen goods have been collected, and he is cooperative even though he is afraid of being punished.
"it is good.
"Then the people and stolen goods will be taken to Jingling immediately and the official residence security department will take over.
"I'll just wait for the handover notice from you and Director Mao.
“Don’t worry, there will never be a Yuan Peilin incident.
"I will personally escort the military police and fly to Jingling!
"Okay, see you in Jingling!"
After hanging up the phone, he turned around and said with a smile: “Jianfeng agreed.
"Zhiyou, ask Director Yu and Section Chief Xiao to recover the stolen goods as soon as possible and make this achievement a reality!"
……
Jianfeng is very efficient.
An hour later, the order from headquarters arrived.
Wu Jingzhong took the order and met Ji Weimin.
The latter honestly revealed Jinhai's residence.
In the next two days, Yu Zecheng led the security department to recover the stolen goods in Jinhai and Qingdao.
Ji Weimin's greed was beyond everyone's imagination.
It took another two days just to check and register the stolen goods.
It took five days to complete the cleanup.
early morning.
Hong Zhiyou came to the station.
Passing by the Intelligence Department, a hand stretched out from the side.
As expected, Brother Shan invited me to have coffee again.
"Brother, let's talk for a minute."
Lu Qiaoshan raised his hand and invited him to take a seat.
"Brother Shan, look at your face. Did you not sleep well last night?" Hong Zhiyou asked with a smile.
"Yes.
"What a despicable person! From the investigation to the recovery of the stolen goods, the whole process was kept secret.
“He even hid it from Director Zheng and directly asked the stationmaster to find Jianfeng to issue the order.
"Isn't it obvious that you don't want me to know?
"Hey!
"This is to force Old Yu to take the position."
Lu Qiaoshan sighed with emotion.
"I'm not hiding this from you. Ji Weimin's case was personally appointed by the chairman, so of course the order had to be issued through the official residence.
"Old Lu, please take it easy.
"Old Yu doesn't have that many evil intentions!
"Besides, even if the stationmaster recommends it to Director Zheng, he won't approve it. Your worry is in vain.
“Don’t forget, Director Yu is Boss Dai’s favorite.
“Jianfeng has never liked Dai.
"With Director Zheng and Jianfeng holding them back, let alone catching Ji Weimin, even if we level Yancheng, he still can't be the deputy station chief."
Hong Zhiyou smiled faintly.
“Brother, you are a wonderful person and you speak very nicely.
"I feel much better now."
Lu Qiaoshan pointed at him and smiled, then whispered:
“I heard that Ji Weimin’s stolen goods filled five large trucks!
“It’s all valuable stuff.
"If even a fingernail is missing, it would be enough for us to eat and drink for a year.
"Why.
"It was a mistake. I should have tried my best to get it earlier.
"I just got soft-hearted for a moment."
As he was talking, Yu Zecheng walked in, grinning with his big front teeth and squinting his eyes in a flattering smile:
"Director Lu, do you mind having a cup of coffee?"
"I do have coffee, but I'm afraid you won't like it." Lu Qiaoshan raised his eyelids to the ceiling and said sarcastically.
"where.
"If it weren't for Director Lu's strong recommendation, I wouldn't have had the opportunity to make a contribution.
"Brother, you are my benefactor."
Yu Zecheng said with a smile.
"You guys chat about that, I'll go first..." Seeing this, Hong Zhiyou stood up and was about to leave.
"Don't.
"There are no outsiders here, so just say it clearly." Lu Qiaoshan said with a gloomy face.
"Yes.
"Zhiyou is not an outsider, so I will speak frankly."
Yu Zecheng smiled and whispered:
"Brother, when I checked out Ji Weimin's stolen goods in Jinhai's private residence this time, I specially picked out a valuable item and a box of opium for you.
“I know you don’t touch these.
"I have asked the Cao Gang to exchange the gold bars for me. I just passed by your house and gave them to my sister-in-law."
Lu Qiaoshan's originally stern face suddenly smiled, and he shook his finger at him:
"You are so devilish, so devilish.
As he said this, he put down his crossed legs and said, "I'll go get you some coffee."
As soon as the coffee was served, the three of them became good brothers again.
"With so many things, why didn't you keep anything?" Lu Qiaoshan asked.
“Brother, this is the person the chairman wants.
"The Party Communications Bureau, the headquarters, and the military police are all watching us. Even the station chief... I didn't dare to do anything. Brother, please don't think it's too little.
"I really want to repay your kindness."
Yu Zecheng leaned his head forward and said in a deep voice.
"I'm glad you have this intention, Lao Yu.
"I didn't help you in vain."
Lu Qiaoshan said with relief.
"yes.
"You are a senior lieutenant colonel, and I am Dai's man. Now Zheng and Mao don't like me, and Jianfeng dislikes me.
"Even if I was promoted to lieutenant colonel, based on my seniority, popularity, and background, I am not qualified to compete with you for deputy station chief, right?
"Isn't it still the material for you to help me, brother?"
Yu Zecheng took the opportunity to attack his mind.
He knew that Li Ya had basically offended him to death.
With Liu Xiong being the problem, the conflict between the two of them will never end.
If we offend Lu Qiaoshan again, our future will be difficult.
"It's good that you know what's going on." Lu Qiaoshan crossed his legs, very satisfied with Yu's attitude.
"Yes, Lao Lu.
"If this job was done by Li Ya.
"Believe it or not, Jianfeng is now being praised all over the country, and the deputy station chief has to come down tonight.
“Brothers working together can cut through metal.
"Old Lu, Old Yu has done you a great service this time."
Hong Zhiyou echoed.
"Look at this sweet-mouthed person. You've been told all the nice things to say, as if I were a bad person who was jealous of my brother. Am I that kind of person?"
Lu Qiaoshan let out all the grievances in his heart and said with a smile on his face.
"I won't say anything more. I'll drink coffee instead of wine to toast Brother Shan." Yu Zecheng raised his glass.
It was a great chat.
The two walked out of Lu Qiaoshan's office.
"Chief Hong, the stationmaster asked me to notify you to go to the office." said an officer from the Security Department.
"understood."
Hong Zhi nodded.
When he arrived at the office, Wu Jingzhong was wearing a light gray shiny suit, which was rare for him, and his hair was tied back close to his scalp.
Generally, this kind of dress usually means there is a party.
"Zhiyou, Li Wensen can't delay any longer. I have an appointment with him for tea at Donghai Tea House.
"Let's go and meet Ye Xiufeng's special envoy."
Wu Jingzhong laughed.
The two came to the tea house.
A middle-aged man wearing a Tang suit and with a fair complexion came up quickly to greet him.
"Stationmaster Wu, long time no see. You are still as charming as ever." Li Wensheng raised his hand and praised.
"where.
"I am so busy with paperwork that I cannot compare to your brother's peaceful and free life."
Wu Jingzhong said politely.
After a brief introduction of Hong Zhiyou, the three of them took their seats. Wu and Li exchanged pleasantries and reminisced about the past for a while, then got down to business.
"Old Wu.
"No one comes to visit you for no reason. I'm sure you know the purpose of my visit this time."
Levinson laughed.
"Brother, you think I'm Zhuge Liang.
"I came here to invite you to have tea and reminisce about the past. I really don't know what happened in the Sanbao Hall."
In order to gain the upper hand, Wu Jingzhong deliberately refused to accept the challenge.
He didn't want to talk at all.
Not to mention the irreconcilable relationship between the Party Communications Bureau and the Bureau of Secrets.
Even though Ye Xiufeng is his biological father, there is absolutely no room for negotiation on this matter.
I came here because I really wanted to order some of my old friend Li Wensen’s food.
By the way, give Ye Xiufeng's problem to Li Wensheng and let him deal with it.
"You.
"Okay, then I'll put it plainly.
"Director Ye Xiufeng wants me to ask you to do something.
"As for Ji Weimin, you should have finished counting the stolen goods and are ready to take him to Jingling.
“Director Ye’s point is that this incident has too great an impact.
"We are all subordinates, so please don't cause trouble for the old man.
"Besides, if something is leaked, wouldn't it be a disgrace to the party and the country?
"Director Ye suggested that Ji Weimin's case be handled in Jinhai so that we can give an explanation to the chairman and the party and the country. What do you think, brother?"
Levinson asked with a smile.
"Brother, I have no connection with the Party.
"Ye Xiufeng is not my director."
Wu Jingzhong shook his head.
“I know the rules.
“Director Ye’s secretary has always admired you and knows that you like antiques.
“I was specially asked to bring a few.
“If nothing else, it’s at least five times the value of your mansion on Changde Road.
"Brother, for the sake of our friendship over the years, please be flexible."
Levinson said.
"Ouch.
“My prostatitis has come back again.
"You guys chat, I'm going to the bathroom.
"Secretary Hong, treat Mr. Li well. He is my honored guest. Please treat him well with food and drink."
Wu Jingzhong told Hong Zhi something, then stood up, smiled apologetically and left.
There were only two people left in the private room.
Hong Zhiyou smiled and stood up to refill Li Wensen's cup of tea:
"Mr. Li, do you know what kind of tea this is?"
"I know. West Lake Longjing, the chairman's favorite tea." Li Wensheng said.
"Then drink two more glasses.
"Once you miss this opportunity, you will miss it again." Hong Zhiyou said with a smile.
"What do you mean?" Li Wensen frowned when he saw his unfriendly look.
"Because your death is approaching!
