Chapter 223 Kang Ze takes the blame

Chapter 223 Kang Ze takes the blame
"As the stationmaster expected, Lin Tai came at the wrong time." Hong Zhiyou frowned.

"The stationmaster called to request the assassination in order to silence Mao Renfeng and prevent him from making any contribution.

“But Mao Renfeng was eager to show off in front of the chairman, so he really did it.

“The trouble now is.

“Whether the stationmaster succeeds or not, it will be troublesome.

“If it succeeds, your people and the elders of the Party and the State will attack us in unison.

"If it fails, Jianfeng and the chairman will not be satisfied.

"Old Yu, can you think of a way to stop Lin Tai from coming to Jinhai?

"Please persuade him."

Hong Zhi has the Tao.

“Smart.

“Lin Tai is a sentimental person.

“He is not someone we can control at will.

"I can only report this situation to my superiors, but you'd better not hold your hopes too high. The right thing to do is to find a way to deal with it."

Yu Zecheng touched his forehead helplessly.

“Now there are assassins from Mao Renfeng’s faction, and there is even Li Ya who is really taking action.

“We are in the open.

“On the one hand, I had to act out the assassination of Lin Tai, and on the other hand, I had to find a way to protect her.

“It’s inevitable that there will be oversights.

"You have always been very experienced in defense work. How about we come up with a plan and let's agree on it."

Hong Zhiyou pondered.

“Not likely.

“The organization has its own disciplines, and even if there is a plan, it may not allow me to confront you.

"Who will be held responsible if something goes wrong or it is leaked?"

Yu Zecheng also had a headache.

"React first. That's all I can say." He put his hands on his hips and took two steps.

"However, I think there is someone who might be able to use it." Yu Zecheng said.

"Who?" Hong Zhiyou asked.

"Sun Xing." Yu Zecheng said.

"Sun Xing?"

Hong Zhiyou rubbed his chin.

This person originally worked at the headquarters, and later followed Ma Kui to Jinhai.

After Marquis's death.

As soon as Li Ya took office, he purged the original action team.

As a "die-hard fan" of Maguire, Sun Xing is naturally on the list.

He is now an accountant in the General Affairs Department, taking over Zhou Yafu's job.

It is very likely that Mao Renfeng activated an idle chess piece at this time.

"Who do you think Mao Renfeng will send to Jinhai to lead this operation?" Hong Zhiyou asked.

“My intuition tells me it will be Mao Wanli.

"He has been transferred out of town, but he has not yet reported for his position and is staying at the Jingling headquarters, which is very unusual in itself.

“In other words, Mao Renfeng may have known about Lin Tai’s trip to Tianjin and Haikou very early.

“They have all been waiting for this opportunity.

"Once Mao Wanli secretly assassinated Lin Tai, the stationmaster would be besieged by all sides and the lightest punishment would be to resign.

"And Mao Wanli has long coveted the position of Jinhai Station Chief. Since he has made great contributions, the Chairman will definitely approve it.

“This is why Mao Wanli stayed at the headquarters.

"The information Shopkeeper Qiu gave me only contained two words: Mao and Jin.

“I initially thought it referred to Mao Renfeng.

"It now appears that he was referring to Mao Wanli, who had higher-level and deeper-level members of the organization at the headquarters to pass on the message.

"Yes, that must be the case."

Yu Zecheng put on his coat, put his hands in his pockets and walked a few steps.

Hong Zhiyou still trusts Yu very much.

This person is very steady, has an extremely keen sense of smell, and has strong logical thinking ability.

"Ok.

"Mao Wanli is Mao Renfeng's nephew.

"I would not trust an outsider with such a top-secret matter, so he is indeed a suitable candidate.

“It’s very troublesome.

"Everyone in Sanmao is not easy to mess with, and Mao Wanli is an expert at assassination.

"However, as long as Sun Xing can contact them, I am sure I can protect Lin Tai with the new security method."

Hong Zhi had a flash of inspiration and smiled.

"New security law?" Yu Zecheng said.

"That's right.

“Why did the assassination happen? Ultimately, it was because it was not thorough enough.

“As long as it is done absolutely carefully, assassination is difficult.

"Not only that, I will also take this opportunity to make sure Mao Wanli never gets back on his feet again."

Hong Zhiyou said with a stern look.

He knew very well that once Wu Jingzhong fell, many things would be out of control.

No matter how much it costs this time.

No matter what the cost, Old Wu must keep his official position.

"Okay, tell me what you need me to do.

“I’ve changed my plans now.

"You don't need to ask your superiors for instructions. It's best for your people to remain silent and not actually participate in any actions."

Hong Zhiyou thought for a moment and said.

"All right.

"Well, I trust you much more than I trust myself." Yu Zecheng said with a smile.

"That's good." Hong Zhi nodded.

"The matter of supplies..." Just as he was about to leave, Yu Zecheng pulled him.

“Ma Hansan has already agreed to provide the supplies.

"The first batch will leave tonight. Remember to report. You can't lose a penny. I can earn less, but I can't earn nothing. This is my bottom line. There is no room for negotiation."

Hong Zhiyou rolled his eyes at him and said Zhengran.

"Don't worry, I will definitely give it to you, and give you enough." Yu Zecheng guaranteed.

Hong Zhiyou returned to the stationmaster's office.

When Wu Jingzhong heard his plan, he slammed the table in anger and said, "Sanmao is still determined to destroy me. How hateful!"

"Is your plan feasible? Bring Chen Changjie and the garrison in. There are a lot of ruffians in there, and these guys have no bottom line." After a pause, he asked solemnly.

“Teacher, they just like money.

“But these people crawled out of the dead, experienced life and death, and are very loyal to their own people.

“As long as Commander Chen nods.

"I asked Yang Wenquan to come out and lead them to take charge of this post.

"The money is sufficient, and since I have done a favor to their previous group leader Xu Zhiwu, there shouldn't be much of a problem.

“Also, use Lin Tai to fish out Mao Wanli.

"You know, Mrs. Jiang hates the people in the Bureau of Secrets very much. She has a deep affection for the Lin Tai sisters. If she gets angry, no one can save Mao Wanli.

“Similarly, if you want to protect the lady and Lin Tai, she will also praise you highly.

“Madam has more than just pillow talk.

"She is also the link between the Chiang family and North America, and she holds a pivotal position.

"No matter how unhappy the chairman and Jianfeng are, at least they can't touch you openly."

Hong Zhiyou analyzed.

“Although this is a good compromise.

"But is there any way to make Jianfeng and I not have any grudges against each other?

"I can't afford to offend any of these people."

Wu Jingzhong frowned.

"It's simple.

“When we catch Mao Renfeng’s killer, we can catch another one and make him confess that he was secretly assigned by Jianfeng.

"Go to Jingling and present the report to Jianfeng in person.

"Let's say that among the assassins there was an old man from the Fuxing Society's Rangers, Kang Ze. Didn't Kang Ze just come back from a study tour abroad? He has seen the world and wants to become a big player in the party.

"Don't forget, they are mortal enemies.

“The chairman had great trust in Kang Ze at first, and it was because of Jianfeng that he fell into disgrace.

"Take this risk and marry Jianfeng.

"Only someone with a background like Lin Tai could have created enough public opinion to bring down Jianfeng and make it impossible for Chiang to keep him.

"Isn't that all correct?"

Hong Zhi has the Tao.

“In this case, Jianfeng will definitely not blame you, but will be grateful to you for saving Lin Tai.

"Otherwise, he won't be able to sit firmly on the throne of the crown prince, let alone ascend to the throne."

After taking a sip of tea, Hong Zhiyou continued.

After hearing this, Wu Jingzhong's brows relaxed and he laughed: "You are so young, but you know a lot of secrets of the government.

"That's right, if you hadn't told me, I would have almost forgotten about Kang Ze.

“Mr. Dai and Mr. Kang.

"One of the founders of the Renaissance Society, the leader of the Rangers, and the Chairman's most proud sword.

"At one point, his fame surpassed that of Boss Dai. The Rangers and the Nanchang Investigation Division used to persecute both the wealthy and the common people in the Soviet area, and made them wail like ghosts and wolves.

"At his most proud time, Kang Ze was hailed as the 'Commander of the Imperial Guards' and could meet the Chairman directly without going through the attendant room. His treatment level was even higher than that of Boss Dai.

"If it weren't for his overambitiousness and failure to see the situation clearly, he would have wanted to suppress Jianfeng.

"Which of us can be the director of the Bureau of Secret Affairs now, Zheng Jiemin or Mao Renfeng?

"What a pity, Dai Kang and the other two are of the same character.

“Boss Dai went to see the King of Hell.

“Kang Ze went abroad for inspection due to pressure from public opinion.

"As long as the blame is put on Kangze, Jianfeng will have to believe it whether he wants to or not. This is a good opportunity to step on Kangze again.

“That’s something he would love to see.

"Good boy, you have made a dead chess game come alive.

"Wonderful, wonderful!"

Wu Jingzhong praised repeatedly.

"It's also the help of good timing and people. Kang Ze came back at the perfect time." Hong Zhiyou said with a smile.

“It’s wise.

"You already have the ability to stand on your own, and it would be a waste of your talent if you follow me." Wu Jingzhong said with emotion.

Hong Zhi has this ability. If he can climb up the rank, he will be more than a hundred times stronger than the stationmaster of Shanghai Station. Even if he competes with veterans like Mao Sen and Mao Renfeng, he will not be at a disadvantage.

"teacher.

"I am not seeking a career with you. You are my elder and my family, and this is more important than anything else.

"So whether it means spending money or going through fire and water, I will do it without hesitation."

Hong Zhiyou confided.

"Yes.

“We are a family.

"I've given you full authority for this matter, go ahead and do it." Wu Jingzhong patted his shoulder and encouraged him.

Watching his "son-in-law" leave, he felt inexplicably relieved.

This mission is almost a dead end.

No matter what you do, it’s wrong and no matter what you do, it’s difficult.

Wu Jingzhong was already prepared to pack up and go home to hug his granddaughter, even if he was hunted down by Hong Piao.

There is also a plan to let Zhiyou take Ruirui to Hong Kong Island to avoid the limelight for a while.

I thought Zhiyou, who is always shrewd and mercenary, would take the initiative to hide from the limelight.

Unexpectedly, this kid not only didn't leave, but also took the initiative to carry it.

In the past, I was the one who protected these little brats.

I never thought that there would be a day when they would take care of me.

While feeling that I am getting old.

He was more relieved.

Zhiyou, this "son-in-law"'s teaching and love were not in vain.

……

in the afternoon.

The 94th Army Headquarters Training Ground.

Thousands of soldiers stood in line.

Yang Wenquan, who had not been seen for a long time, came over in military uniform with their old friend Hong Zhiyou. The officer accompanying him was Li Tongshan.

Captain Xu’s subordinates are also his close friends.

"Commander!"

Thousands of soldiers shouted at the same time.

"Brothers, I am no longer your commander.

"Thanks to my brothers for not giving up, Lao Yang will do another big deal with you guys today.

"Bring it up."

Yang Wenquan waved his hand.

Immediately, soldiers brought two baskets.

The two baskets were filled with silver dollars.

"Secretary Hong, there's no need for me to introduce you to us, we are old friends.

"According to Commander Chen's order, our 94th Army will take over the security of Tianjin and Haikou to ensure the safety of Mrs. Chiang and Ms. Lin Tai and their entourage.

"These silver dollars are Secretary Hong's hard work reward for everyone. You can hold or grab them with your hands.

“Everybody takes one round.

“That’s not enough, there’s more to come.

"bring it on."

Yang Wenquan took off his newly grown delicate mustache and gave the order with a smile.

“Everyone has it, take the money in turn.

“No noise.

“No crowding.

“No looting.”

Li Tongshan was giving orders.

The soldiers followed their officers and took the money one by one.

Although they were very excited, no one crowded or took more than they could. They all took as large a handful as possible and returned in an orderly manner.

This scene made Hong Zhiyou quite confused.

The 94th Army loves money very much, and reselling military supplies is a common practice.

But seriously, the military discipline, individual soldier style and strength are still acceptable.

The equipment is excellent.

Logically speaking, although such an army is not very powerful, it will not be shattered at the slightest touch like in the later periods.

Do not understand!

Hong Zhiyou is not a military enthusiast.

Since he couldn't figure it out, he just stopped thinking about it.

Taken care of the 94th Army.

The next day.

The Secret Service began to enter the hotel and arrange security.

Hong Zhiyou’s solution is very simple.

strict.

Adopt modern VIP security methods.

Why is security so difficult in this era?
Because metal detectors were not widely used, guns and other things could be brought in with just a little help from one's connections.

But this thing was actually invented in 1924.

The American Marine Corps has already used it, for reconnaissance and so on.

Hong Zhiyou not only borrowed more than a dozen sets from the Marine Corps.

Why were they afraid that Mao Wanli would find someone to go through the back door, so they directly let American soldiers sent by Filson guard the main corridors, front and back passages, etc.

These guys are hardcore.

In addition, I don’t know Chinese.

Due to language barriers, military orders and huge rewards, Mao Wanli couldn't find a way out even if he wanted to, and it was difficult to lure the killers in.

Then there is the kitchen.

The chefs and their team were arranged personally by Mrs. Jiang and arrived in Jinhai a few days ago.

This is what gives Hong Zhi a headache.

Came from Jingling.

It is very likely that Mao Renfeng had bribed some of them long ago.

This is an uncontrollable factor.

More than that.

All that remained was to control the outfield and the reporters.

Hong Zhiyou’s idea was very simple. He wanted to build an iron barrel so that when Mao Wanli was desperate, he would naturally fall into the pit he had dug.

Then it will be a time to kill two birds with one stone.

……

Jinhai Station.

"Zhiyou, the chairman will fly to Shenyang tomorrow. It has been confirmed that my wife and Lin Tai will get off the plane midway and stay at the International Hotel.

"Mao Renfeng called me early in the morning and told me to do a good job of security, otherwise I would be killed.

"He hasn't done anything yet, but he's already put a ring on me. He deserves death."

Wu Jingzhong sighed with his hands behind his back.

"Teacher, what are the arrangements from above?" Hong Zhiyou asked.

"According to past practice, representatives of industry and commerce, progressive women, young students, and primary and secondary school students will go to the airport or the road in front of the hotel to greet them in proportion.

"The flowers Zhang Ting'e had already prepared along the way.

“The hotel’s red carpet has also been rolled out.

"You know, these people just love to show off, they want everyone to like them, that's the only way to win public support.

“But this time it was Mao Wanli who took action.

"This person has always been unscrupulous and he likes to be quick and efficient. He won't go to so much trouble and will definitely do it if he can.

"I'm afraid his people are hiding among these representatives.

“It’s hard to guard against.

"The road is so long and there are so many people. If the two ladies were to look out or wave, it would all be in vain."

Wu Jingzhong headed to the main road.

"Simple.

"Let him do his thing, let's do ours, let's start with the first one.

"At least don't let them be so ostentatious and give Mao Wanli a chance to shoot."

Hong Zhi has the Tao.

“Well, let’s blow it up.

"Find a guy who is clumsy and not very smart to do it." Wu Jingzhong said.

“Or maybe Mi Zhiguo.

"His family is in a tight spot, and he's close to you, so just say he did it for money. Then you can explain it clearly when Li Ya asks you about it." He paused and said.

"Teacher, don't.

"Mi Zhiguo and I have a good personal relationship. Once this kind of thing explodes, we will have a stance.

"If someone takes it seriously and grabs him, he might lose his head.

“Let someone outside do it.

"If Jianfeng asks, just say we were the ones who released it.

"Jianfeng doesn't ask. Whoever wants to blow it up can do it. We won't say anything and let them guess.

"It prevents someone from making a fuss about it."

Hong Zhi has the Tao.

Wu Jingzhong knew that he was being humane, so he didn't force him: "Then you decide. This one must explode, so that the chairman and Jianfeng will be terrified when they hear it."

……

Hong Zhiyou returned to the office.

Pretending to be in the corridor, he saw Gao Yuan coming out and pretended that his stomach suddenly hurt:
"Ouch."

"Secretary Hong, what's wrong?" Gao Yuan hurried over to help him.

“Maybe I had a stomach upset after lunch.

"Gao Yuan, there is a package in the equipment section, can you get it for me?

"I'm going to use the bathroom first."

As he spoke, he whispered quickly, "If Li Ya asks, you can tell the truth."

"Okay, Secretary Hong, you go first, I'll get the package for you."

Gao Yuan took the order and left quickly.

Soon, he took out a package and handed it to Hong Zhiyou who came out of the bathroom.

"Secretary Hong, here's your package." Gao Yuan said.

"OK, thanks.

"Take it and buy some wine." Hong Zhiyou stuffed a few silver dollars into his pocket.

Then he picked up his bag and left.

Gao Yuan returned to the office and Li Ya was making a phone call to make a restaurant reservation.

With the lesson of Mei Yingxue.

He is no longer interested in getting married and having children.

If you want women, go to Yingchun Tower.

Most of the time, I focus my interest on food. No matter how busy or tired I am, I must go out to eat for lunch and dinner every day.

"Did you meet Hong Zhi in the corridor just now?" Li Ya asked.

“I encountered it.

"He had a stomachache and asked me to pick up a package for him in the equipment room."

Gao Yuan answered truthfully.

“You took the package to the equipment room?
"what."

Li Ya frowned.

He received a secret telegram from Jianfeng last night, asking him to assassinate Lin Tai.

Jianfeng's meaning was very clear. He had no confidence in Wu Jingzhong's three old tricks, so he let Li Ya wait for an opportunity to strike a fatal blow.

Could it be that Wu Jingzhong is going to use his third move?

Li Ya frowned and came to the equipment room:
"Lao Cao, what did Secretary Hong take just now?"

"Captain Li, how would I know that?

"He is the leader, even if he knows I can't tell him."

Lao Cao, the equipment room manager, smiled bitterly.

"I'm not in charge of the equipment room, but I am in charge of the interrogation room now. Don't think I don't know what you did. You must have stolen a lot of batteries and flashlights.

“I don’t want to check on you because you’re old.

"Don't be so shameless."

Li Ya pulled out his gun and opened the safety bolt.

"Captain Li, don't, don't.

"I said, Secretary Hong took away a bundle of explosives." Lao Cao said quickly in fear.

"Explosives?"

Li Ya frowned and fell into deep thought.

Sure enough, the teacher still uses the same old tricks.

Hong Zhiyou wants to set off explosives.

Yes.

If he had really blown Lin Tai to death, he wouldn't have to take the risk.

Li Ya is not stupid either.

He made a contribution in the espionage case, but he was also scared away.

Lin Tai is not someone you can easily mess with.

As for this achievement, there is no other way but to stand up.

But it is better not to stand.

It would be best if Hong Zhiyou could blow her to death.

Can't be killed by explosion.

Collect evidence yourself so that you can take responsibility for Hong Zhiyou and Lao Wu later.

Not to mention bombing Lin Tai.

Just say that Hong Zhiyou conspired with Hong Piao to assassinate Mrs. Chiang.

Moreover, the equipment room is under the management of Yu Zecheng.

This person has a suspicious record of red ticket fraud with Jianfeng, and is close to Hong Zhiyou.

The blame for colluding with the Red Tickets to assassinate Mrs. Chiang can be firmly pinned on them.

Kill two birds with one stone.

Ok.

Wait and see first.
