Chapter 222 A good cat is one that can catch mice
"Thank you, Director Ma." Hong Zhiyou said gratefully.

“Call me brother.

“There are some things that you and I know very well.

"I trust you more than my own brothers and father.

"I have investigated many people over the years, including close relatives, brothers, fighting to the death for a little profit, and there have been many cases of illegal shootings, drugging and other messes.

"But you are different, brother. You are a knight, a rare kind-hearted person.

"Act clearly and openly!

“It’s really rare.”

Ma Hansan poured him another cup of tea and said with emotion with a smile.

"Brother Ma, can I understand your comment as you being taken advantage of?

“I have done a lot of business over the years, but others have made a lot of money, while I still have to share a yard with others and use a public toilet.

“Hong Kong Bank even owed hundreds of thousands of dollars in loans.

“I work like a running dog every day.

"Sacrificing oneself to benefit others is not the right way to describe oneself as a hero, but a good person is more appropriate."

Hong Zhiyou laughed self-deprecatingly.

“You’re just being modest, brother.

“I am good at taking bribes, but I don’t know much about business.

“But I’m not blind. You’re just setting up the business first, but if the cash doesn’t flow back, you might be the next Hu Xueyan or Sheng Xuanhuai in ten years.

“Well, I’m just old.

"Five years ago, I would have definitely fought you.

“The most precious thing in the world is time. No matter how capable you are, if you miss it, you can never get it back.”

Ma Hansan rarely meets someone with whom he can confide, so he couldn't help but talk a few more words.

"Yeah, like I used to go to the club every other day.

"Now, I drink a cup of tea every day to soak wolfberries.

“Once a week is good.

"It will only take two years. You will know your own body."

Hong Zhi has the Tao.

“But it’s not too late for business matters now.

"Since you call me a hero, I will give you an extra 10,000 US dollars for the transportation of the materials as a reward for your hard work.

"Sixty thousand in total!"

Hong Zhiyou knew that the market price of the materials could not be hidden from Ma Hansan.

He must have acquaintances in the US military.

Otherwise, why is he called the number one trader in the North?

It’s better to be quick and try to build a good relationship.

"terrific.

“Where are you sleeping tonight?
"Should we let Secretary Liu arrange it, or..." Ma Hansan narrowed his eyes and asked with a smile.

"I'll sleep with my brother tonight.

"Liu, Guan, and Zhang all slept on the same bed, with their feet touching.

“It’s rare that Big Brother thinks highly of me, Zhiyou would like to ask for advice on some matters concerning government and business.

"After all, you are the King of North China. There are few people in this world who are as lucky as me to receive your guidance and instruction."

Hong Zhiyou smiled respectfully.

He knew that Ma Hansan was testing him.

Liu Yuzhu is beautiful.

But Mahan's reward for him is one thing.

He just kept sticking to the pole and trying to do it, which just showed that he didn't understand anything.

If a man can't resist even a little beauty, how can he achieve great things?

Ma Hansan is known to be a shrewd person.

Hong Zhiyou believed that Liu Yuzhu's beautiful dress tonight was also arranged by Ma Hansan.

Just use the handlebars to satisfy your craving for the car.

If he continues to be greedy, he might become the second Dai Yunong.

Furthermore, he was too close to Liu Yuzhu.

It will make Ma Hansan suspicious about the affairs of Xiangdao.

It’s better to keep a proper distance.

"Well, let's sleep on the same bed tonight and chat all night long." Ma Hansan was also very happy.

"Thank you, brother." Hong Zhiyou said.

……

The next day.

Office of the Director of the Public Opinion Bureau.

Ma Hansan, with his big belly, was trimming the potted plants by the windowsill.

Liu Yuzhu was wiping the table and making tea.

A uniform with wedge heels and stockings is still very charming.

Hong Zhiyou occasionally looked at her greedily, winked and smiled wickedly to tease her.

He thought about it.

It's not okay to act too distant on purpose.

After all, Liu Yuzhu spent the night in Jinhai.

She was a beauty, and they had physical contact. Plus, he had a reputation for being lustful, so if he acted too saintly, Ma Hansan would become suspicious.

This kind of thing just has a degree.

If you don't know how to handle the situation well, you may fail at any time.

Fortunately, Hong Zhi learned from Old Wu's words and deeds and understood some of the essence of observing people and investigating things.

"Secretary Liu, let me do it.

"You have delicate skin and tender flesh. Don't hurt your hands in this winter."

Hong Zhiyou moved closer and took the opportunity to touch Liu Yuzhu's soft fingers.

"Can you?" Liu Yuzhu didn't dare to smile coquettishly in front of Lao Ma, but just asked lightly.

"certainly.

“I also cleaned tables and served tea in Jinhai.

"Strictly speaking, we are the same kind of people."

Hong Zhiyou spoke with a sweet tone and took the opportunity to glance at her chest.

Liu Yuzhu secretly rolled her eyes at him and handed him a rag: "Okay, then you wipe the table and I'll go sort out the documents."

Ma Hansan occasionally glanced sideways, pretending not to see it, but he was sighing in his heart.

A dog will always eat shit. After all, he is still young and he feels itchy when he sees a beautiful woman.

But it’s good to have shortcomings.

People are afraid of having no shortcomings, because then they will have no friends.

Obviously, Hong Zhiyou is the friend he wants.

"Yuzhu, make some tea. Director Cui should be here soon." Ma Hansan said.

"Yes, Director Ma."

Liu Yuzhu took the order.

After a while, Cui Zhongshi, dressed in a suit and glasses, walked in.

Uncle Cui, long time no see!
Hong Zhiyou sighed in his heart, stood up and looked at this person who had made countless people feel upset.

Cui Zhongshi is in his forties, with his hair combed meticulously. His face looks a little pale, probably because of his busy banking affairs.

Looks a bit like Li Ya.

Just want to be whiter and a little thinner.

Their temperaments are completely different. Cui Zhongshi seems very reserved and gentle. He looks at people with clear and innocent eyes. Unlike Li Ya, he looks at everyone with squinting eyes and raised eyebrows, with an expression of contempt and suspicion.

"Director Ma." He spoke with a Shanghainese accent similar to Mrs. Ma's.

“Zhongshi is here, come on, let me introduce him to you.

“This is Secretary Hong from Jinhai Station.

“This is Cui Zhongshi, the director of the treasury of the Peking Central Branch.

"We are all non-outsiders. Please sit down."

Ma Hansan greeted him with a smile.

"Zhongshi, you look haggard." Ma Hansan pointed at him and said with a smile.

"Yes.

“Now that we are carrying out financial reform, the top leaders are holding endless meetings.

"Professor He Qicang even fell ill because of this.

"I just came from his place."

Cui Zhongshi smiled faintly.

"Look at these people, they keep dumping gold and antiques overseas.

“After much difficulty, the Americans managed to get some loans, but before they even entered the bank, some people put the money in their pockets and took it abroad.

“You don’t have gold or dollars to back you up, and you don’t have the conditions to develop your oil and mineral resources. Even if you develop them, they will be controlled by foreigners.

"If you don't have anything valuable, don't even think about getting gold yuan notes.

“Even if you get gold ingots, the common people won’t recognize it.

"A bunch of experts are talking about this and that every day, doing research here and there, but it's all bullshit.

"In my opinion, it would be better to go back to primitive society and collect shells to use as currency."

Ma Hansan laughed humorously.

Hong Zhiyou smiled along.

Ma Hansan's words are rough but his logic is sound.

This man may seem rough and casual, but in fact he has a deep insight into the world.

No wonder even the stationmaster is a little afraid of him and doesn't dare to fight him easily.

"Director Ma, please be careful with your words.

"The government now attaches great importance to this matter and it must be promoted." Cui Zhongshi adjusted his glasses and said gently.

"Be careful what you say.

“The issuance of gold yuan notes was not the same thing as asking the people to hand over their gold, silver dollars and antiques in exchange for gold yuan notes.

“First, supply rice and flour for a few days, so that the people will think this thing works.

“When the leeks are harvested, it will be like the French currency, out of stock overnight, and you will have to use silver dollars or gold to buy rice.

“I’ve seen through it all.

"With this kind of scraping, Li Zicheng should be able to enter Beijing.

"If it were me, I would first call for a three-year ceasefire. Instead of letting the soldiers eat up all the money, I would rather give each household in the countryside 100 dollars per person so that they can live a good life for a few days.

"If the people are well-fed and have enough food in their stomachs, there is no battle we cannot win.

“Is this about money?
"This is a matter of human heart. It would be more practical to cleanse their consciences than to reform the currency system."

Ma Han waved his hands three times and sneered disdainfully.

As the person in charge of the adjustment of daily necessities, he sees things more deeply than anyone else.

The government’s crappy policies and reforms will never benefit the common people.

Rather than letting others get a bargain, it is better to get a bargain for yourself, which is why he became the number one dealer.

Cui Zhongshi's face trembled when he heard this.

But due to the difference in status, he didn't dare to speak again.

"Ahem, Director Ma, the smoker is still in Peking." Hong Zhiyou was afraid that he would go too far, so he reminded him in a low voice.

Ma Hansan curled his lips and said nothing more.

Wang Puchen had been secretly searching for evidence against him, and he knew it very well.

"Director Ma, is there something you want me to do for you?" Cui Zhongshi asked.

"Secretary Hong wants to talk to you about something." Ma Hansan said.

"It's like this. Director He Zhiyuan of the Bureau of Secrets has a niece who just graduated from Huaqing University and wants to join the Peking branch.

"I would like to use your connections to get into the branch. Director Cui, please help me."

Hong Zhiyou didn't waste any time. He opened his briefcase, took out three large yellow croakers and handed them over.

Cui Zhongshi didn't answer and asked calmly, "Is accounting okay?"

"As long as I can work in your bank, even mopping the floor or cleaning the toilet is fine." Hong Zhiyou said with a smile.

As he said that, he handed over the information.

“Okay, I took it.

"Nothing, I'm leaving."

Cui Zhongshi accepted them readily and packed them together.

His role in the branch was to launder money for important officials like Ma Hansan.

It's not a glorious identity at all.

It's natural to take the money.

"I'll give it to you."

Hong Zhiyou knew that once Zeng Keda and Xu Tieying from the Cadre Preparatory Bureau of the Ministry of National Defense arrived in Peiping, Cui Zhongshi's identity as an underground party member would be exposed.

Give it a go.

Maybe this meeting will be the last one.

Hong Zhiyou didn't think he had the ability to challenge Chen Jicheng and other ace security commanders, and he had no intention of competing with old foxes like Xu Tieying.

When we got downstairs, there was a jeep parked there.

A young man wearing a light green air force uniform and with an arrogant temperament was sitting on a stool, smoking a cigar, with sunglasses on his hair and his tie fluttering in the wind, looking like a rich young man who was the best in the world.

"Meng Ao, let me introduce you. This is Secretary Hong from Jinhai Station."

Cui Zhongshi originally wanted to ask Hong Zhiyou to stay, but then he changed his mind and led him to the car.

"Oh.

"A secret agent."

Fang Mengao sneered at him and blew a puff of smoke with disdain.

"Meng Ao!" Cui Zhongshi frowned.

"Hello, Young Master Fang." Hong Zhiyou smiled and stretched out his hand.

What Fang Mengao hated most were dog spies. He turned his head away and just ignored them.

Hong Zhiyou withdrew his hand.

"I'm sorry, Meng Ao is young and a little wild, so don't take it to heart." Cui Zhongshi pulled Hong Zhiyou aside to explain.

If others don't know, how can he not know?
Now, it depends on Yu Zecheng and this little Mr. Hong to dump things into Yancheng.

It is even very likely that this person is one of our own.

Even if he is not, he is still a very capable person.

Meng Ao's behavior was really rude.

"Director Cui, it's okay.

“You’re busy.

"Uncle Cui, take care!"

Hong Zhiyou held his hand and shook it vigorously.

“Okay, take care of yourself too.

"I'll visit you in Jinhai when I have time. Bye."

Cui Zhongshi read something strange in his eyes.

Can't say enough. But a friendly message.

He nodded and smiled slightly, then turned back to the car.

"Uncle Cui, I know this guy. I have a classmate from Jinhai, and his stepmother was slept with by this guy.

"Why would you bother with a scum like this?"

After getting in the car, Fang Mengao said unhappily, holding a cigar in his mouth.

"To achieve great things, one does not need to be bothered by small details." Cui Zhongshi said.

"My classmate's family sells grain, and this guy took the excuse of investigating corruption to call that woman to a hotel to discuss things.

“Just for your sake.

"Otherwise, I can drive back right now and beat the shit out of him."

Fang Mengao snorted coldly.

"You are talking about Kang Zuoru, right?

"You don't understand, that's called concubine, not mother.

“Forget it, I can’t explain it to you clearly.

"Meng Ao, do you believe me?"

Cui Zhongshi waved his hand.

"Anyway, I trust you more than my dad." Fang Mengao said with a smile.

"Hey, you kid!"

Cui Zhongshi shook his head and continued:
"Trust me, please be more respectful to Secretary Hong in the future.

“He’s not someone you can mess with.

"Besides, he's not an enemy, he's a friend."

"I understand what you mean. I'll beat him less gently next time we meet." Fang Mengao laughed heartily.

"you!

"It's rare for you to come back for the New Year, so control your temper and don't go against your father.

“It’s not easy for him either.

"My hair has almost turned white in the past few years. I dyed it just to get you back."

Cui Zhongshi said in a friendly manner.

"knew.

"I have calluses on my ears from all the nagging you guys do all the time.

“It’s good enough that he doesn’t pick on me.

"I don't bother with him."

Fang Mengao stepped on the accelerator and the jeep ran wildly on the street like a wild horse.

……

Hong Zhiyou returned to the office.

“Brother.

"Committee No. 3 flew to Shenyang.

"Mrs. Jiang and Lin Tai are coming to Jinhai. I have to go back quickly."

He said goodbye to Ma Hansan.

“Xiao Hong, Lin Tai is not someone you can mess with.

“Stay as far away from her as you can.

"If I were you, I would find an opportunity to go on a business trip to North America right now. It would be better to turn a blind eye to this."

Ma Hansan taught the way.

“Thanks for the advice, brother.

"It's just that you know I have a family to support.

"After I leave, many things will have to be taken care of by Stationmaster Wu.

"He's getting old. If I don't move forward, I'm afraid it will be difficult to pass this test, and our family will fall apart."

Hong Zhiyou smiled sincerely.

“The time together was short.

"You should come to Peking more often in the future to help me get through this difficult time.

"Now Jiang doesn't tolerate me.

"Commander Delin is nominally an honest and wise man, but in reality he is also a sly old scoundrel.

“Don’t think I’m close to him now.

"In my opinion, if the Northeast and Bai Chongxi suffer a defeat in Central China, he may abandon me and run away at any time.

"Wang Puchen has collected a lot of negative information about me.

"Once General Delin leaves, I will be the lamb under Mao Renfeng's butcher knife.

"Brother, I'm having a hard time."

Ma Hansan patted his shoulder and sighed deeply.

"I see.

"Take care of yourself, brother." Hong Zhiyou said.

"Let Yuzhu take you there." Ma Hansan ordered.

"Okay, Director Ma." Liu Yuzhu nodded lightly.

"No, you have a lot of things to do, so I won't bother Secretary Liu." Hong Zhiyou hurriedly refused.

"Isn't this just serving tea?
"Ok, deal.

"There are a lot of cars in the morning. Yuzhu, please drive slowly and make sure to send Secretary Hong to the airport safely."

Ma Hansan ordered.

"I know, Chief." Liu Yuzhu said.

Hong Zhiyou knew that Ma Hansan had sent him food again.

You can't refuse to answer it.

He has already shown his "shortcomings", and if he offends him at this time, Ma Hansan will only think that he is not familiar enough and is not close enough to him.

"Then I'll have to trouble Secretary Liu.

"Take care, bro."

Hong Zhiyou bowed and said goodbye.

"Oh, Zhiyou is a real person." Looking at Hong Zhiyou's figure, Ma Hansan showed a relieved smile on his face.

If Lin Tai’s matter is not handled properly, it will be a bomb.

That's killing people.

Hong Zhi did not try to escape, but instead rushed to help Wu Jingzhong take the blame.

It is not an exaggeration to say that this man is chivalrous and courageous.

Liu Yuzhu drove off the street and headed straight for the wild mountain road.

As soon as the car stopped, the two kissed each other.

They are all smart people.

Ma Hansan asked her to drive slower to allow her to have a small gathering with Hong Zhi.

"get off."

The two of them got out of the car and went straight to the back seat.

"Sister, did you miss me last night?" Hong Zhiyou asked while taking off his clothes.

"What do you think?

"I waited at home until dawn, but there was no sign of you." Liu Yuzhu pouted and said angrily.

“Little liar.

"Your eyes are clear, and you don't look like you've been staying up late.

“You understand Lao Ma’s thoughts better than I do.

"Punish you."

Hong Zhiyou picked her up and hugged her.

after an hour.

The two men straightened their clothes and got out of the car.

Hong Zhi lit a cigarette.

In the sunshine, Liu Yuzhu's rosy face and big watery eyes were beautiful.

Hong Zhiyou looked at her straight.

"What are you looking at?" Liu Yuzhu lifted the hair behind her ears and asked with a smile.

"Nothing, I just want to see my sister a few more times.

"After all, it's too difficult to meet in person."

Hong Zhiyou smiled.

He felt a little sad.

Good times are always short-lived.

Historically, Liu Yuzhu and Lao Ma could never leave Peking. Boss Dai was thinking of taking action against Ma Hansan, so Mao Renfeng kept his eyes on them.

Hong Zhiyou was not sure whether he would come to Peiping again.

He is not familiar with the city of Peking.

But there are many people there.

Fang Buting, Fang Mengao, Cui Shu, Xie Peidong...

But life is always realistic and cruel.

These people have nothing to do with his interests, and he may never want to see them again in this life.

Life, it's not easy to survive.

He is not a superman who can save the world, and Yu Zecheng is enough to give him trouble.

If you can do less, do as little as possible.

Goodbye, Peking!
Goodbye, those people in Peking!
Hong Zhiyou flicked away the cigarette butt and slowly exhaled the smoke: "Let's go."

"What's that look in your eyes? It's like we're parting forever. Don't tell me you really love me." Liu Yuzhu said with a charming smile while lighting a fire.

"like.

"I love all women in the world who are as gentle and easy-going as my sister."

Hong Zhiyou smiled.

"loquacious."

Liu Yuzhu smiled and drove to the airport.

"Secretary Liu, goodbye." Hong Zhiyou opened the car door and prepared to get out.

"What do you mean.

“Be a good sister when you need someone.

"After eating, I become Secretary Liu?

"kiss Me."

Liu Yuzhu snorted with a pout.

Hong Zhiyou kissed her and said, "Good sister, goodbye."

After saying that, he opened the car door and walked into the airport without looking back.

Liu Yuzhu got out of the car and put her clothes in order.

Didn't look at him either.

Her pretty face was as cool as usual.

I got back in the car and drove off.

……

In the afternoon, Hong Zhiyou returned to the station.

Wu Jingzhong was reviewing documents. When he saw him, he looked up and asked, "How is it going? Have you dealt with He Zhiyuan's case?"

“Done.

"The treasurer of the Peking Bank has already taken the information.

"That person is very reliable. It should be done in the next few days."

Hong Zhi has the Tao.

"very good.

“I just received a call from headquarters, and the trip for Chairman No. 3 has been confirmed.

"I'm thinking that there's a spy case in Jinhai and there's a leprosy rumor going on, so those two ladies shouldn't come and join in the fun.

"Isn't Zecheng familiar with Yong Jianqiu?
"Tell him to tell Hongpiao not to come to Jinhai to commit suicide.

"I haven't had a few days of peace, and this bunch of women are always causing trouble for me."

Wu Jingzhong said with a look of annoyance.

"Teacher, if they are coming, we should proceed according to the plan. There is always a way to deal with it." Hong Zhiyou said with a smile.

“If only it were that simple.

"Mao Renfeng was about to take action, but I intercepted him first to show my loyalty.

“Just because he can’t get credit doesn’t mean he won’t take action.

“I’m afraid we don’t have enough manpower.

"The red ticket has been hidden for long enough, isn't it time to expose it to the sun?

"These guys have always been very powerful, it's time for them to show off their skills and help defend us."

Wu Jingzhong said, clapping his hands speechlessly:

"What kind of thing is this? I'm a major general of the Military Control Commission, but I've become their bodyguard!"

"Teacher, you are doing more work for those who are capable.

"Okay, I'll go meet with Deputy Station Master Yu now to discuss this matter."

Hong Zhiyou took the order.

Just from Wu Jingzhong's few words, he could clearly feel the changes in Old Wu.

In the past, he would definitely not have said it so bluntly.

Now he completely doesn't care about Yu Zecheng's identity.

For Old Wu, as long as he obeys orders and can make money, it's good.

……

Hong Zhiyou arrived at Yu Zecheng's office.

He was sleeping on the sofa.

"Lao Yu, what's wrong? You didn't sleep well last night." Hong Zhiyou asked with a smile.

"Yes.

"Your sister-in-law lost more than a dozen silver dollars playing mahjong last night. Not only did she nag, but she also snored when she slept.

“I didn’t sleep well all night.

"How is it, Shopkeeper Qiu?"

Yu Zecheng stood up, closed the door, and asked quickly.

“Shopkeeper Qiu is living well over there.

“It is very likely that he is still working underground.

“He gave me three prescriptions.

"There is one for you. I saw that Shopkeeper Qiu seemed to have tampered with it.

"look by youself."

Hong Zhi was too lazy to participate and handed the recipe to him.

Yu Zecheng and Shopkeeper Qiu had a secret code. He looked at the prescription and quickly extracted the information from it:
"Mao Renfeng's people have come to Tianjin secretly."
