Chapter 204: Pigs Must Be Slaughtered

The relationship between Wu Jingzhong and Ma Hansan is very delicate.

It's politics.

Break up and get back together, get back together and break up.

Regarding Dai Li's plane crash, he and Ma Hansan tacitly collaborated.

Don't be fooled by the life-and-death fight on the surface.

Secretly, both sides are intertwined.

The struggle is to survive.

A big part of the reason why Wu Jingzhong was able to sit firmly in Jinhai and was regarded as a sharp knife by Jianfeng was that he was one of the few people who dared to challenge Ma Hansan openly.

Cooperation is the result of mutual benefit.

When he was clearing out Pu Jie’s property, could he have taken it back without Ma Hansan’s approval?
Ma Hansan took advantage of his position as director of the Taipei Civil Investigation Bureau to frequently ask Tianjin for cotton cloth, rice, and flour, which he then resold on a large scale to make a fortune from the national crisis.

If Wu Jingzhong did not acquiesce, the Waterway Inspection Office would be watching, and Ma Hansan would not be able to ship a single cent from Tianjin Haikou, whether openly or secretly.

And Hong Zhi has business dealings with Ma Hansan.

These were all secretly promised by Wu Jingzhong.

So, on the surface, one is from the Li school and the other is from the national school, and they can't wait to shoot each other in the back.

Behind the scenes, their interests are connected more closely than those of brothers.

Many times, you don't even need to say hello specifically to understand what the other person is doing or what they want.

For example, this phone call.

There is a high probability that Li Ya and Sanke are not wrong.

But was this batch of goods delivered to Hongpiao or Sun Lianzhong? Wu Jingzhong was too lazy to ask.

Because he knew that Hong Zhiyou must have a role.

Otherwise, Ma Hansan would not have launched a military campaign to hold him accountable, but would have simply kept the money to himself.

It's obvious that she is playing a trick on her own son-in-law.

In this case, Wu Jingzhong naturally had to cooperate.

Zhiyou has now become a big man and has become the "walking man" of the Chairman and Jianfeng. Besides, Ruirui is coming back soon, and the family is reunited.

Wu Jingzhong also knew his own limitations and secretly removed Hong Zhiyou's "golden hoop".

Many small profits, even big profits, are willing to be given up.

If you are smart and filial and are willing to report it, just give it a share.

If there is no difference, he will not investigate and ask questions as strictly as before, and he must squeeze out the biggest gain.

After all, he hasn’t finished looking at all the treasures in the underground vault in Hexi.

There is no need to offend this future son-in-law of yours.

As for birds, when they grow up they must spread their wings and fly high. If they are tied with a string, they will become enemies.

"teacher……"

Li Ya wanted to say something, but Wu Jingzhong waved his hand behind his back, indicating that he could leave.

"Yes!"

Li Ya bowed and left the stationmaster's office.

Back in the office, Gao Yuan asked, "Captain, are you okay?"

“Something’s going on, something big.

“Ma Hansan detained the people and supplies.

"Now they want me to pay 10,000 US dollars to redeem him. Where can I find it?"

Li Ya gritted his teeth and slammed his fist on the table.

"We are on official business here, so we should stay in the station, right?" Gao Yuan said.

“Official business?
“What kind of official business is this without reporting, records, and the stationmaster’s consent?
“Ma Kui was robbed by bandits before.

“Now I’ve been intercepted by Ma Hansan.

"This damn place is designed to defeat our action team."

Li Ya said with a depressed look on his face.

"Ma Hansan is also from the Military Control Commission, we are all one of us, they won't play this for real, right?
"If it doesn't work, let's just drag him along.

"At worst, I won't take the supplies, but I don't believe he won't release us."

Gao Yuan thought for a moment and said.

"childish!"

Li Ya glared at him.

Now it is not a matter of materials and people, but Ma Hansan suspects that he is a red ticket and has repeatedly disrupted the transportation of materials in the war zone.

With Zhang Qun's "attributive" in the front, if the matter really gets out of hand, the military police from the Inspection Office and the Military Court might be called in.

"Alas, my fate is the fate of the country. With bastards like Ma Hansan, the future of the party and the country is worrying."

Li Ya walked to the window and let out a long sigh.

"Go do what you should do." After a pause, he turned around and gave the order.

"Do we still need to keep an eye on the bookstore and the dock?" Gao Yuan asked.

“Put it aside for now.

"Let's wait until the storm has passed before we talk about it."

Li Ya was really upset.

"Got it." Gao Yuan stepped back.

Li Ya stroked his chin, his eyes shining, and then he quickly came to Yu Zecheng's office.

Looking at the sign "Deputy Station Master's Office" hanging on the door, he felt very uncomfortable.

once Upon a time.

Just one step and this position will be his.

Hey!
He took a deep breath, tilted his head to adjust his dress code, knocked on the door and walked in:

"Deputy Station Master Yu, you're not busy, are you?"

"Captain Li, please sit down first.

"I've finished calculating the station's subsidy expenses for this month."

Yu Zecheng didn't look up, but lowered his head and clattered on the abacus.

After a while, Yu Zecheng got up and walked to the sofa, crossed his legs and said with a smile: "Captain Li, is there anything wrong?"

"fine.

"I just came over to ask, since you are familiar with Jinhai, which shop's handmade suits are better?
"I'm about to get married to Yingxue, so I want to do something else."

Li Ya asked with a smile.

“Captain Li, you need to talk to Secretary Hong about this.

"He is familiar with those ladies. They eat, drink and have fun in a high-end way. If you really want to do it, they have purchasing agents who fly to Hong Kong for you.

“Just go to the foreign shop over there and ask the master to make it for you.

"Watches, leather shoes, those are all fine."

The rest will become the Tao.

"It's like this, I just bought a house recently and I'm a little short of money. I don't know anyone in Jinhai, can you lend me some first?

"Don't worry, I will pay it back within three months."

Li Ya said with gritted teeth.

"How much?" Yu Zecheng asked.

"Ten thousand US dollars!" said Li Ya.

“Ten thousand dollars?
"Captain Li, this is an astronomical figure. Even if you sell me, I can't raise that much money." Yu Zecheng laughed.

He leaned towards Li Ya and said in a deep voice: "Don't talk about me, even if you go to various banks, no one will dare to lend you such a large sum of money.

“The current situation is getting worse day by day.

"When we first recovered, the foreigners were optimistic that we could unify quickly, so they poured loans and U.S. dollars into the country. Chiang, Song, Kong, and Chen were all eating their fill, and even the toilet paper was said to be made of U.S. dollars.

“But now people see that we are fighting each other all the time and we have spent so much money but can’t come up with anything new.

"The foreigners are so smart. They are afraid that the meat buns will be used to hit the dog, and they will never come back, so they have already tightened the loan.

“Why is money worthless now?

“Isn’t it just that the U.S. dollar foreign exchange reserves in the national treasury have been depleted and cannot be replenished?

“From the president to the common people, everyone feels cold.

“Don’t mention $10,000.

“It’s hard to get even a thousand dollars.”

Li Ya is usually only interested in making a little money and grabbing red tickets, and he doesn't really know much about economics.

Hearing Yu Zecheng's words, Li Ya couldn't help but feel nervous.

"Captain Li, getting married won't cost so much money, do you have any difficulties?" Yu Zecheng asked.

"Why.

"To be honest, I recently did some small business, and a batch of goods was seized by Ma Hansan in Peking, and he asked for a ransom of 10,000 US dollars.

"Where can I get so much money?"

Li Ya said this on purpose.

From the moment he entered the room, the desire to borrow money was real, but it was more of a test of Yu Zecheng's expression.

See if he looks abnormal to confirm whether the goods in Peking are related to him.

"Hey, Ma Hansan!

“That’s a Pixiu, famous for only taking in and never giving out.

"Boss Dai is really ruthless and powerful, isn't he? Ma Hansan still eats it.

"Don't even mention you. Even if Jianfeng went to Beiping, he would still skin him alive."

Yu Zecheng said this in an exaggerated manner.

"Three days.

"If I can't raise the money within three days, the goods will be lost." Li Ya smacked his lips, feeling embarrassed.

“You can talk to Secretary Hong.

“He is familiar with Ma Hansan and Wang Puchen. Whenever the stationmaster needs help from them, he will go and handle it.

“It works.”

Yu Zecheng acted as if nothing had happened and pointed out a clear path for him like a "classmate" and a "friend".

"Thanks, old classmate!"

Li Ya nodded and walked out with his hands in his pockets.

"Son of a bitch.

"You really have no shame at all."

After Li Ya left, Yu Zecheng cursed in a low voice.

It's obviously my own goods.

Li Ya could actually say with a flattering face that it was his.

Yu Zecheng would never doubt that if he really brought this batch of goods back from Peiping, Li Ya would definitely take it for himself and distribute it privately.

He deserved to be caught by Ma Hansan.

Li Ya went out, turned left and went straight to Hong Zhiyou's office.

Hong Zhiyou was on the phone and gestured for him to sit down.

“Nice color socks.”

Hong Zhiyou hung up the phone, smiled and sat down on the sofa.

"Yingxue gave it to me. She said I have a gloomy personality and green can warm me up." When Li Ya mentioned Mei Yingxue, his eyes were filled with happiness.

"Well, Miss Mei's taste is definitely not something that ordinary people can compare to.

"Tea or coffee?"

Hong Zhiyou pointed to the coffee machine.

This was a gift given to Lu Qiaoshan when he was leaving because it was not convenient to take it away.

"Coffee, I've been drinking it with Yingxue lately, so I'm used to it." Li Ya said.

“It’s different having a fashionable girlfriend, Captain Li is in high spirits now.

“To be honest, I am really envious.

“I know so many women in Jinhai.

“There are pretty ones, but none of them have Yingxue’s temperament.

"French and noble, just like a princess."

Hong Zhiyou imitated Mei Yingxue, puffing out his chest, raising his chin, and laughing teasingly.

"Hey, I just read some foreign books for a few days, and I'm just being picky."

Li Ya smiled complacently and got down to business.

"Brother, to be honest, the call just now was from Ma Hansan.

"Who is Ma Hansan?

"They are so ruthless that they have already sent Liu Yuzhu from Beiping.

“I came here specifically to ask you for money.

"She also told me to urge you. If Liu Yuzhu doesn't get paid after 12 o'clock tonight, she will have to meet you at the Jingling Military Court.

“Money is not kept overnight, typical Ma Hansan style.

"The stationmaster doesn't like him, so I have to take on this difficult task."

Hong Zhiyou shrugged and sighed helplessly.

"Really, there is really no room for maneuver?" Li Ya asked with his fist against his lips, frowning.

"Captain Li, let's raise some money." Ma Hansan has made so much money now that he would rush to smell even shit to see if it is gold, let alone money.

"He has bitten you. Even if you ask the chairman to intercede, it will be useless."

Hong Zhiyou shook his head.

After a pause, he looked at Li Ya with sympathy:

"My Captain Li, you said you were staying well in Jinhai, why did you go to Beiping to provoke him?"

"Why.

"I'm unlucky too. Let's not talk about this anymore. I'm going to go raise money."

Li Ya said a little annoyed.

"Oh, Captain Li, are you short of money?
"The money Yingxue's father made in Yuezhou is enough to buy half of Jizhou City. He also has a branch in Hong Kong, dealing in gold, US dollars, and antiques."

Hong Zhi looked around and whispered in his ear:
“I’m not exaggerating, but your future father-in-law probably has more U.S. dollars in his pocket than the president of the Jinhai branch.

"What are you in such a hurry for?

"If we just leak a little bit, won't it be solved?"

Li Ya's eyes lit up, and he stood up and said, "That makes sense. Then I'll go and try it?"

"Try it!" Hong Zhi nodded seriously.

"Thanks, brother. I'll treat you to steak some other day." Li Ya patted his shoulder, turned around and was about to walk out.

……

noon.

Hong Zhiyou went to pick up Liu Yuzhu.

Liu Yuzhu was not wearing a uniform, but a very decent white floral dress, a warm windbreaker, a pearl necklace, a brooch, and a sun hat with white roses inlaid on it. She looked very fashionable and exquisite.

"Sister Yuzhu, it's been a long time since we last met. I have been looking forward to seeing you for so long.

“To be honest with you.

"After we parted last time, I've been haunted by your presence. My mind is filled with your image."

As soon as they met, Hong Zhiyi expressed his lovesickness with sweet words.

They both knew who the other was.

When it comes to speaking, there is naturally no need to hide anything.

“Can I not come?

“When Master Hong gets angry, even Master Ma is afraid.

"He looks so fashionable and wears gold-rimmed glasses. He looks so fake and refined."

Liu Yuzhu smiled sweetly.

“So is my sister here on official business, or is she here to fulfill an appointment?

"The last time you came to Jinhai, you promised me a favor, but when you returned to Peking you pretended to be dead and didn't even answer my phone calls.

“That’s not very nice.”

Hong Zhiyou took the opportunity to pat her butt lightly, winking and grinning.

"You're getting bolder and bolder." Liu Yuzhu rolled her eyes at him coquettishly.

“You’re not brave enough to blow up the boss with your sister?
"Do you dare to be obsessed with your sister?"

Hong Zhiyou whispered.

“I’m here this time for official business, but also to answer an appointment.

"Let's go and talk at the hotel."

Liu Yuzhu said with a sweet smile.

Hong Zhiyou drove her to the Navy Club and booked a room.

He has always been interested in this woman.

After all, she is the woman that Boss Dai is obsessed with, and Hong Zhiyou doesn't believe that she doesn't have some special skills.

man.

Why not just seek novelty and curiosity?

Not only that.

Ma Hansan sent Liu Yuzhu to test Hong Zhiyou's attitude.

If he distances himself from Liu Yuzhu, it means he really doesn't want to be friends with her anymore.

If he is still as greedy for beauties as before, it means that he can continue this business in the future.

to be honest.

It’s the same principle as having diplomacy with your wife.

One has to give, the other has to receive.

This way everyone can sit at the same table and eat from the same pot.

Arrive at the hotel.

Hong Zhiyou couldn't wait to hug her, and the two soon rolled into a ball.

I have to say, Yuzhu is somewhat alive.

Her background as a secret agent gave her plenty of physical strength, and coupled with her great voice, it was simply deadly.

It was Lao Xie who was replaced.

I’m afraid I won’t be able to wait until the count of “three, two, one”.

Liu Yuzhu was obviously very satisfied with Hong Zhiyou's performance.

The two of them worked for nearly two hours before they finished their work, panting.

"It's over." Hong Zhiyou hugged her, leaned against the head of the bed and lit a cigarette to come back to his senses.

"What's over?" Liu Yuzhu looked at him with her big eyes blinking like a sheep.

"I've been nice to you for a while today, but I'm afraid you won't be able to enjoy food anymore in the future.

"I don't have the ability of Mr. Dai to have you serving me every day.

"Hey, how are we going to live the rest of our lives?"

Hong Zhiyou exhaled a puff of smoke at her, with a look of deep love on his face.

“Stop it!
"If I stay by your side every day, you'll probably get bored."

Liu Yuzhu laughed sweetly and pinched him:

“I don’t even dare to take a plane anymore.”

"Then don't take it, take the train. Since you've agreed to the appointment, let's get down to business." Hong Zhiyou made a joke and got down to business.

“I heard you have connections in Hong Kong Island.

"Right now, the Chairman and Fu Zuoyi of the Shanxi-Suiyuan clique are putting great pressure on Peking.

"Director Ma was afraid that Li Delin would not be able to defeat Jing Ling, so he wanted to find a way out in advance and asked me to go to Hong Kong Island to lay the foundation first.

"If you really want to recognize me as your sister, you have to help me."

Liu Yuzhu held his handsome cheek and said coquettishly.

"Do you know how to raise pigs?" Hong Zhiyou asked.

"Raising pigs?" Liu Yuzhu didn't understand for a moment.

“It means fattening the pigs and slaughtering them after the Chinese New Year.

“Everyone knows that Lao Ma is the best at making money, but why nobody cares about him is because some people want to see him making money.

“This person might be Mao Renfeng.

“Maybe Jianfeng.

“Even the commissioner.

"When the time comes, I will go back and do what I want. Hasn't I been working for others all my life?"

Hong Zhiyou smiled.

He knows something about the history of Peking.

At least Wang Puchen was the spy planted by Mao Renfeng next to Ma Hansan.

There is also Chen Jicheng, the future commander of the Security Command.

All these in the future will make Ma Hansan bleed.

Both Lao Ma and Liu Yuzhu could not escape the fate of being tried and executed.

It seems that the matter of Dai Li has now sunk to the bottom of the water.

Turn it over when the time comes.

There is also Yoshiko Kawashima who is still in prison.

All of these could kill Ma Hansan in a minute.

“I know what you mean.

"Lao Ma also saw this, so he was thinking about a way out.

"Otherwise he wouldn't have sent me..."

Liu Yuzhu smiled and said nothing more.

"I was sent to keep the appointment, otherwise my sister would probably stand me up for the rest of my life." Hong Zhiyou said for her with a smile.

"You are such a mean person, just like those tricks you use, always trying to make things difficult for others."

Liu Yuzhu curled her lips and gave him a blank look.

“I bought an island in Hong Kong.

“We built a lot of basements and houses, originally for Lao Wu and myself to use.

“In the future, there will be private armed guards from the Cao Gang.

"If you don't mind, come and be my neighbor.

"Anyway, you guys don't need a piece of land.

"It's more fun when more people gather together."

Hong Zhiyou kissed her and said.

“Old Ma is suspicious, I’m afraid he won’t agree.

“And he’s a very cautious person.”

Liu Yuzhu said.

"If you stay in Peking, your future will be doomed.

“And I’m pretty sure that Lao Ma won’t be able to leave Peking alive, but you can.

“So, sister, you need to find a way out as soon as possible.

"If I were you, I would take as much as I could.

"If you can move all of Ma Hansan's assets over there, you will at least have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of your life."

Hong Zhi has the Tao.

"Do you want me to betray Lao Ma?" Liu Yuzhu frowned.

"I didn't say that.

“I’m just talking about the situation.

“Besides, you have gone through life and death for Lao Ma, and you have done the best you can.

"I just don't want you to do this kind of work, so I advise you.

“How you choose is up to you.

"It's just that I'll go to your grave later and burn a few more incense sticks for my sister."

Hong Zhiyou ruffled her hair and spoke casually.

Liu Yuzhu fell silent.

“Whether you believe what I said or not, or whether you have confidence in Lao Ma’s skills, it’s always good to leave yourself a way out.

“Besides, what Lao Ma can let you touch is probably not more than one-tenth of his wealth.

“You’re just a wader.

"Go over there and give it a try. You won't lose anything."

Hong Zhiyou continued to persuade her.

“Don’t forget, a woman’s shelf life is very short. You can’t keep her youth. Real money is the only thing you can control.

"I really love my sister, please think it through."

He continued laughing.

This sentence was like a sharp knife, instantly piercing through Liu Yuzhu's hesitation and confusion.

“Give me the address. I will go to Hong Kong Island in a few days. You can arrange someone to accompany me to inspect it.

“It’s better to choose a slightly off-center corner.

"Ma Hansan will definitely send his son or a trusted aide to accompany him."

Liu Yuzhu's tone became firm.

"Isn't that God helping you?

“If you can’t do anything with his son, you have to find a way to get him to send a trusted person.

“With your methods, plus the strong smell of money in Hong Kong Island, I believe any confidant will fall intoxicated in your arms.

"Isn't this done?"

Hong Zhiyou smiled.

He knew that Liu Yuzhu would most likely not be able to escape from Peking in the future.

If we can do something about this.

Ma Hansan’s money is “sunk” in Hong Kong, so can’t I pick it up for free?

Another Mu Liancheng!

Rather than leaving it to be slaughtered by Mao Renfeng, it is better to kill it yourself and have a prosperous year.
