Chapter 245 Sheng Xiang got promoted

night.

Hong Zhiyou drove a car and stopped in the suburbs.

Yu Zecheng and Liao Sanmin were waiting.

Seeing him getting out of the car, Liao Sanmin shone the flashlight in his face.

"Brother Min, we haven't seen each other for so long, and you want to blind me as soon as you see me, right?" Hong Zhiyou got out of the car, lit a cigarette, and asked with a smile.

"Feel sorry.

"I just want to make sure."

Liao Sanmin smiled faintly.

"Let's inspect the goods."

Hong Zhiyou waved his hand.

Liao Sanmin got in the car, checked it, and nodded, "No problem."

"Is your side reliable?" Hong Zhiyou asked.

"Ok.

“The transportation line here is newly built.

“There are our people guarding that area, so even if we are caught, they will admit it.

"Don't worry."

Liao Sanmin said.

"Row.

“As long as you don’t follow Lao Yu’s path, I’ll feel relieved.

“Now Li Ya is targeting him.

“You have to be careful too.

"The chairman recently ordered a two-pronged attack at the latest national defense meeting. The battle on the front line should be intensified, and the secret line behind the scenes should also increase the investigation of red tickets.

"Ye Xiufeng has recently reshuffled the party's internal communications bureau, and you may have one of your people who will be caught.

“Mao Renfeng also stepped up internal monitoring efforts.

"It's possible that a new intelligence chief will be sent down from above. The current situation is not good."

Hong Zhiyou said.

“Yes, our prison has also appointed a new warden, who is not very easy to talk to.

“Everybody be careful.

"I am leaving."

Liao Sanmin jumped into the car and drove away.

Hong Zhiyou got directly into Yu Zecheng's car.

"The higher-ups are going to send a new intelligence chief, how come I didn't know?" Yu Zecheng said while driving.

“There are so many things you don’t know.

"If I tell you that your people wiped out Hu Zongnan's heavy armored division at Qinghuajian with six times the force, would you believe it?"

Hong Zhi has the Tao.

Historically, Hu Zongnan occupied Yancheng for only three days when he was counterattacked by the Red Army with six times the military strength in the northeast of Yancheng, causing heavy losses.

"really?

"That's great, I, we still have the strength to launch a large-scale counterattack, which shows that the organization has not failed.

"I have to go back for a drink tonight."

A long-lost smile appeared on Yu Zecheng's face.

"Let's get down to business. Does the headquarters really want to send someone?" he asked while driving carefully and choosing the route.

"real.

"The Ministry of National Defense has a regular meeting today, and Old Xie got first-hand intelligence.

"The stationmaster may have received accurate information. There should be a meeting tomorrow morning."

Hong Zhi has the Tao.

"a?
"Is he Zheng Jieming's man or Mao Renfeng's?" Yu Zecheng asked.

“Mostly they are Zheng Jieming’s people.

"Mao Renfeng suffered a loss in Jinhai last time and owed the stationmaster a favor. No matter how thick-skinned he is, he would not send anyone here at this time.

"The chairman is now turning the knife inwards and strengthening internal affairs, especially the reshuffle on the confidentiality line.

“The people sent down here will definitely make some moves.

"Going against the teacher is a thankless task, and a smart guy like Mao Renfeng won't fight for it."

Hong Zhiyou analyzed.

“The Lao Guang Gang.

“These people are difficult to deal with.

"But it better not be the Iron-Blooded Youth Corps. Li Ya alone is enough to give me a headache. If there is another one, I won't have to work anymore."

Yu Zecheng said with a headache.

"Won't.

“The chairman and Jianfeng have a good impression of the stationmaster.

“In general, our station’s performance in the past two years is much better than other stations.

“Jianfeng has not yet reached the point where someone must replace the stationmaster.

"Of course I won't send anyone else to embarrass the stationmaster."

Hong Zhiyou analyzed.

"Ah That's good.

"You said Mao Renfeng stopped targeting Jinhai, so why is Zheng Jieming targeting him again?

"He and the stationmaster used to be close partners, even closer than Jianfeng and the stationmaster.

"Logically, it shouldn't be like this."

Yu Zecheng shook his head, expressing his confusion.

"Why can I?

“It’s just a word about money.

"Lu Qiaoshan suffered such a huge setback in Beiping, but why didn't he receive any punishment? It was said that he was even praised at an internal meeting of the Second Department.

“Isn’t it just that Ma Hansan vomited something?

"Ke Shufen is addicted to eating, and Ma Hansan can't get any more, so he has set his sights on the stationmaster.

"Think about it, the teacher's money-making skills were all taught by Zheng Jieming.

“How could he not know how much money the teacher made?
"This is clearly a robbery."

Hong Zhiyou said.

“That’s quite troublesome.

“If he wants to get a teacher, it’s easier said than done, it’s just about money.

"If he wants to use this to mess with me, then it will be troublesome."

The rest will become the Tao.

"It's hard to say. I can only say that you should be more careful." Hong Zhiyou lit a cigarette and blew out the window.

“How much does the medicine cost?
"Mr. Yong has recently repatriated a large sum of US dollars. I can pay it to you." Yu Zecheng asked.

"Eighteen thousand...US dollars." Hong Zhiyou said.

"no?
"Two boxes of medicine, you want eighteen thousand US dollars, are you crazy about money?" Yu Zecheng shouted exaggeratedly.

“Please be careful with your words.

“Two big boxes.

“Big box.

"big!"

Hong Zhiyou pointed out the key point.

When he does business, he can help his friends make money and he can earn less himself, but he must never earn nothing.

This is the fundamental way to make money.

"Can it be less?" Yu Zecheng asked.

"cannot.

"If it's one point less, I will call Li Ya immediately and ask him to get it back." Hong Zhi left no room for negotiation.

Giving it to Yu Zecheng is a benefit.

This guy has become too arrogant and always wants to eat cheap things.

We can't get used to this bad habit.

Otherwise, he would really be a philanthropist.

"It's really not negotiable."

"No."

"Okay, it's a deal.

"The money is in the bag, take it yourself."

The rest will become the Tao.

Hong Zhiyou opened the bag and found two stacks of US dollars inside, each stack containing ten thousand US dollars.

Obviously, Yong Jianqiu understands the market conditions.

"Look at Mr. Yong's style." Hong Zhi counted twenty of them and stuffed them back into his bag, and stuffed the rest into his pockets.

……

Return to the yard.

Hong Zhiyou drove Lao Yu out of the car and drove to No. 1 Changde Road.

It was a rare occasion that Ruirui gave him a day off yesterday to accompany Wanqiu.

People can't go too far.

I still have to go home and hug my baby tonight.

The next day.

Hong Zhiyou woke up, but Ruirui was still sleeping.

Because I have to feed the baby myself.

There is a lot of money at home, and Ruirui is often blocked by food. Now she can't touch anything, otherwise it will hurt a lot.

The two of them slept far apart.

Hong Zhiyou knew how difficult it was for her, so he got out of bed quietly and kissed her on the forehead.

"Why is it so hot?"

Hong Zhi felt something was wrong, so he reached out to touch her forehead, and it was burning hot.

"One more kiss."

Ruirui opened her eyes and her smile was pale and weak.

“You have a fever.

"Why didn't you call me? Let's go to the hospital."

Hong Zhiyou complained with heartache.

"You have so much to do, you're busy all day long, how can I hold you back?

“Besides, it’s not a big deal.

“It’s just blocked.

“I’ll ask Aunt Liu to come and push it down later, and it’ll be fine once it’s unblocked.

"Go to the station now."

Wu Ruirui is as strong as ever.

"Really not necessary?" Hong Zhiyou said.

"No need." Wu Ruirui nodded.

"Okay, I'll come back early today. If the fever doesn't go down after the blockage, you must listen to me and go to the hospital." Hong Zhiyou instructed.

"Okay." Ruirui nodded.

"Mom, Ruirui seems to have a fever again, please ask Aunt Liu to come over later.

"If she doesn't get better, take her to the hospital immediately.

"Also, let Chou'er cook some soups with less oil and water, and make the meals more vegetarian. If things continue like this, the child will get the nutrition, but Ruirui will suffer."

Hong Zhiyou finished washing up and explained things to Mei Qiuju while eating breakfast.

"Why.

“Why is this child so intolerant?

"If she doesn't eat more, where will Lele get the food?"

Mei Qiuju's mind was now completely on her granddaughter, and she couldn't help but curl her lips.

"You can't just want the daughter, don't...it's okay for the baby to eat a little less.

"I am leaving."

Hong Zhiyou picked up the cake, stuffed it into his mouth, chewed it, and swallowed a few mouthfuls of milk.

"Teacher, I'm going to the station first."

He bowed to Wu Jingzhong who was eating donkey meat hotpot, and walked out quickly.

“It’s not in vain to find this son-in-law, he knows how to care for people.

"Unlike you, when I was at your house, I got so drunk with Ruirui that the child cried for a long time and no one cared.

"It's like your mother can't hear you.

"I just hope that nothing good happens to my mother and me."

Mei Qiuju turned around and looked at Wu Jingzhong, and inexplicably recalled the past.

"Ahem.

"Today's donkey offal soup is not cooked thoroughly and has a fishy smell.

"Don't eat."

As soon as Wu Jingzhong put the bowl down, he quickly picked up his clothes and ran away.

……

Arrived at the station.

Wu Jingzhong summoned Li Ya, Yu Zecheng and Hong Zhiyou to his office.

Tea was served.

Wu Jingzhong glanced at the three generals and said, "Three of you, there are new personnel appointments and dismissals at the headquarters. Captain Li, you may have to put aside your position as the director of intelligence."

"Teacher, what, what do you mean?" Li Ya was a little confused.

"According to the opinions of the Second Department and the headquarters, it has been decided to appoint a new person to serve as the intelligence director of Jinhai Station. "You are familiar with this person."

Wu Jingzhong said.

"Who?" Yu Zecheng asked.

"The former head of the Archives Section is Sheng Xiang." Wu Jingzhong said.

"Didn't Sheng Xiang apply for a transfer to the Second Department last month?

"Why are you back again?"

Li Ya was very surprised.

"Sheng Xiang went to the Second Office and the Sixth Division, and became the executive captain of the Intelligence Department. He followed Lu Qiaoshan for a month and seized several important strongholds of the Red Ticket in southern Anhui and Yangzhou.

"Zheng Jiemin personally promoted him to major.

"After being promoted to colonel, won't I be able to return to Jinhai?
"There is also another piece of news. Lu Qiaoshan is coming to Jinhai to recuperate. What do you think?"

Wu Jingzhong crossed his arms and looked at the faces of the three people.

"Teacher, it's obvious that Lu Qiaoshan is still harboring evil intentions towards Jinhai Station, and he has created Sheng Xiang as a puppet just to cause trouble." Yu Zecheng analyzed.

“I think it’s directed at me.

"Haha, I can't be the imperial envoy anymore, so I'll find a substitute to fight me.

"Okay, I'll take it all."

Li Ya bit his lip and snorted coldly.

“No matter what, we have to be on guard.

"Sheng Xiang was sent down by the Second Department. He is somewhat like a special commissioner. You still need to do the work you should do on the surface."

Wu Jingzhong ordered.

"Got it." Hong Zhi nodded.

"Zhiyou, you go to the airport to pick him up this afternoon, and by the way, invite him to dinner at Lishun Hotel and hold a simple welcome ceremony." Wu Jingzhong said again.

"Yes, teacher." Hong Zhiyou stood up and accepted the order.

"Teacher, I have something else to do, so I'll be out first." Seeing that there was nothing else to do, Li Ya left first.

Yu Zecheng and Hong Zhiyou stayed.

"You two, I didn't say it clearly in front of Li Ya just now.

"Lu Qiaoshan and Shengxiang have joined forces to launch a counterattack. This is Zheng Jieming's idea, and it's aimed at me.

“According to Chief Xiao’s information.

“Recently, there have been some new faces appearing around Hexi’s house.

"Young Master Zhang Xun owed a lot of gambling debts in Jingling and was arrested. It must be because of what this guy said.

"Zheng Jiemin is jealous. He didn't get enough of Ma Hansan in Peking, so he wants to dig up my past again."

Wu Jingzhong said.

"Ok.

"If that's the case, we really have to be on guard." Yu Zecheng said.

"This man from Shengxiang is greedy for profit and forgets his principles. He is not worth worrying about.

"Besides, I know all the bad things he did in the past, and he can't make any waves.

“But Lu Qiaoshan should be careful, this guy just suffered a loss in Peking, he won’t accept it.

“Who knows what tricks he might come up with.

"It's better to be careful."

Wu Jingzhong nodded.

As they were talking, "good news" came over the radio again.

"Commander Hu Zongnan's 280,000 troops will continue to advance north and northeast of Yancheng to eliminate 100,000 bandits..."

"Ahem.

"Commander Hu has won another victory. A few days ago, there were 230,000 troops, but now there are 280,000 in the blink of an eye. The more they fight, the more people they have. It seems that they have recruited a lot of people. In my opinion, complete victory is not far away."

Yu Zecheng secretly glanced at Hong Zhiyou, forced a smile and said.

“What a fart victory.

"My old friend in the Xi'an Pacification Office revealed that Yancheng was completely empty and there was no serious damage at all. They just arrested a few ordinary people and boasted about it everywhere.

"Yesterday in Qinghuajian, it was said that the army that Hu Zongnan was pursuing was counter-encircled and annihilated by the Red Army, and at least one reorganized division was lost.

“These news and broadcasts are all for the chairman and the people to hear.

"He is ambitious and falsely reports his achievements.

“The routine performance of the national army.

"You and I both have to have some idea in our minds. In my opinion, the future is really uncertain.

"If you don't believe me, go and see what they did.

"The battles were fought like works of art, each one a masterpiece of mastery.

"Why.

"I am very worried about the wisdom of the chairman and whether he can win."

Wu Jingzhong sighed.

When Yu Zecheng heard this, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

It seems that what Zhiyou said is true.

Hu Zongnan was just bluffing, and the organizational structure was still intact.

"Okay, you guys go ahead and notify Captain Li to clean up the Intelligence Department office and vacate it." Wu Jingzhong ordered.

He really looked down on people like Sheng Xiang.

But who made him come here under the name of Zheng Jieming?

You have to give face.

……

Hong Zhiyou went to the Intelligence Department, where Li Ya was giving a speech and packing up his things.

"Except for the stationmaster's office, the Intelligence Department's office is the most spacious in the entire station.

"That bastard Sheng Xiang got a bargain."

Li Ya frowned at Hong Zhiyou and sneered in dissatisfaction.

“What kind of crafts can Shengxiang have?

"I think he will die in your hands sooner or later, Captain Li."

Hong Zhiyou smiled.

"Oh, then I'll present your good words to you, brother.

"It's best for him not to provoke me. If he dares to go all the way with Lu Qiaoshan, he will die."

Li Ya's eyes sharpened and he said.

“I have to go out on a errand tonight.

"I won't go to eat."

Li Ya gave some instructions and went to the stationmaster's office.

Arrived at the stationmaster's office.

He closed the door and whispered:

“Teacher, I sold the two boxes of penicillin that I kept secretly.

“Not many are sold.

"I hope you will accept this kind of gift, teacher."

As he said this, he took out two thousand dollars from his pocket with a painful look on his face and placed it on the table.

Wu Jingzhong was speechless.

Two large boxes of penicillin are worth at least tens of thousands of US dollars.

two thousand?

Is this used to get rid of beggars?

Hey.

A selfish person.

Giving him a chance is useless and he can't be trained.

"Li Ya.

“I am very grateful that you have this thought.

“You haven’t had an easy past two years.

"Take it. You're still young and have more money to spend than me."

Wu Jingzhong pushed it back without even looking at it.

“Thank you, teacher.

“Well, then I’m welcome.

"To be honest, I'm a little tight on cash lately. I borrowed a lot from underground banks to prepare for Yingxue's wedding."

Li Ya smiled and actually put the money into his pocket.

Wu Jingzhong had never seen such an ignorant person.

He still had a gentle smile on his face:
"Hu Zongnan called to urge us to get the goods on the road as soon as possible if nothing else."

"is teacher."

Li Ya gladly accepted the order.

……

3pm.

Li Ya and Adjutant Zhou came to the escort convoy together.

"Captain Li, how do you want to arrange the escort this time?" asked Adjutant Zhou.

"From Jinhai, we pass Baxian, then enter Baoding, and then go south to Handan, and then go directly to southern Henan and transfer to Xi'an.

“Along the way, we will pass through the southern defense zone of Sun Lianzhong and Fu Zuoyi.

“There may be some Red Ticket Mountain teams, bandits, etc.

"How many people did you bring?"

Li Ya asked.

"Since the original plan was to take the train, I didn't bring many people with me, just over a hundred good guys," said Adjutant Zhou.

“That’s troublesome.

"I just called and asked, there were several landslides along the way, the railway line has been interrupted, and it will take more than half a month to repair it.

“If we rely on manpower alone.

"With this, I'm afraid we can't even beat the bandits."

Li Ya said.

"What are you afraid of? How many bandits can there be?

“If you send another fifty men here and have enough ammunition, a hundred and fifty men will be enough for a sniper battle.

“As for the other legions.

"I have Commander Hu's warrant. I don't think they have the guts to intercept our stuff."

Adjutant Zhou was still very confident.

"Fine.

"Let's go then."

Li Ya has always been very confident, and when two confident people get together, they can naturally make decisions quickly.

The main reason was that he had no good feelings towards Hu Zongnan, and if he was really intercepted by Fu Zuoyi and Sun Lianzhong, it would have nothing to do with him.

……

Jinhai.

In a garden villa facing the sea.

Lu Qiaoshan was making coffee.

Sheng Xiang sat aside, crossing his legs, his legs shaking.

"Look at you.

“Are you qualified to be the Director of Intelligence?

"Put your legs down, why are you shaking? You deserve to be poor and unable to save money."

He cursed angrily.

“Yes, yes.

"It's all thanks to you and Deputy Director Zheng, otherwise it wouldn't have been my turn."

Sheng Xiang nodded and bowed, then put down his legs.

"Go and get busy first, find a good barber shop, wash your hair properly, and remove the grease on your face.

“You have a welcome party tonight, don’t embarrass me.

"Go."

Lu Qiaoshan waved his hand and gave the order.

Wait for Sheng Xiang to leave.

He picked up the phone and dialed a number:
“The address is…

"Okay, come over here. I want to talk to you, too."

hang up the phone.

He tasted the coffee and closed his eyes to savor it with great enjoyment.

It has to be the aroma of coffee brewed with water from Jinhai.

It seems that I am really destined to this place.

After a while, the doorbell rang.

Lu Qiaoshan waved his hand at Li Zhong and said, "Go and bring the person up."

soon.

Hong Zhiyou walked up the stairs to the balcony on the second floor.

“Brother Shan, you found a good place.

“There are mountains and water.

“There are flowers and grass.

"To be honest, I've been in Jinhai for so long, and I didn't know there was such a paradise on earth."

Hong Zhiyou praised him as soon as they met.
