Chapter 248 This Money is Hot
"Brother Shan, you are going back to the Secret Service. Hey, I was wondering why you suddenly came back to the old house. It turns out you are supposed to be here.
“Say it earlier.
"Brother, I have taken care of everything for you in advance."
Lu Yuxi quickly turned back, bent over and spoke flatteringly.
"Do you think I came back to Jinhai for fun?
“It’s not blowing.
"Half a year, at most half a year, and the position of deputy station chief of Jinhai Station will be mine."
Lu Qiaoshan crossed his legs and said with a cold and arrogant look on his face.
He wasn't bragging.
Given Yu Zecheng's status, and the fact that Manager Qiu, Huang Zhong, and his wife had poured shit on him, it was difficult for Yu Zecheng to hold on to his position as deputy stationmaster.
As the war intensified, Jinhai became a transit base for food and supplies, and the competition with red tickets was bound to intensify.
Li Ya will also be valued.
The first person to be investigated at that time will be Yu Zecheng.
In other words, even if the webmaster can keep Yu Zecheng.
Yu Zecheng was no match for Li Ya.
Therefore, Lu Qiaoshan was very sure that as long as Li Yabang became capable, Wu Jingzhong would most likely support him to become the deputy station chief.
This is also a means of protecting Yu Zecheng.
Old Wu still has a lot of fondness for this student.
"Deputy Station Master!
"Brother Shan, do you want to be the deputy station chief?"
Lu Yuxi's voice began to tremble.
"What do you think?
“To be honest, it was Stationmaster Wu who invited me back to Tianjin.
"Did you know that the Intelligence Department of the Secret Service has never had a director?"
Lu Qiaoshan's face darkened and he installed it directly.
"Specially...specially kept for you, Brother Shan?" Lu Yuxi asked in a low voice.
"snort.
“It seems you are not stupid.
“Hiko.
“Don’t think you are so great just because you are the vice-captain. You can’t handle the situation in Jinhai.
“And your Shan brother is still your Shan brother.
"How about I go to the Security Command for a meeting some other day and talk to your Chief Bai."
Lu Qiaoshan tapped the table hard with his fingers and glared at Lu Yuxi coldly.
“Yes, yes.
"Who in Jinhai doesn't know you, Brother Shan?
“You brought me up by yourself.
"If it weren't for you, Brother Shan, Xizi wouldn't be where he is today."
Lu Yuxi nodded and smiled like a chicken pecking at rice.
“Just be aware of it.
"Back in the Secret Service, you sold out my brother in front of Li Ya and Wu Jingzhong. I can understand that.
"If you want to continue to work in Jinhai, you need to be alert and prudent.
“Brother Shan can get you up here.
"I can get you down in a minute!"
Lu Qiaoshan reached out and touched his shoulder, sneering.
“Understood. Understood.
“Brother, we are all brothers.
"Your business is my business, Xizi. Tell me what it is. Xizi will definitely take care of it for you."
Lu Yuxi didn't dare to act arrogantly and asked quickly.
"Go and find out who is selling penicillin on the market, and buy as much as you can from me.
"In short, I need to know the batch number of the medicine."
Lu Qiaoshan ordered.
"That's easy. We have informants in the black market. I'll have them investigate right away." Lu Yuxi accepted the order.
"Director Lu, we have completed the inspection and there is no monitoring equipment."
Soon, the clerk came over with the equipment.
"okay, I get it.
"Let's go back."
Lu Qiaoshan nodded and waved.
"Brother Shan, then, I'll leave first. You should go to bed early." Lu Yuxi bowed and left quickly.
“You bastard.
"I can't calm you down!"
Lu Qiaoshan cursed in a low voice at his back.
Coming back to his senses, he quickly picked up the phone and dialed Sheng Xiang's number:
“Hey, maybe there’s a shipment of penicillin that just came into the black market.
“Go ask that dealer in the Party Affairs Bureau.
“See if you can get a number.
"What to buy, you have money.
"We only buy the number, not the medicine. This thing is not something we can afford right now.
"Go and find out now."
After hanging up the phone, he dialed Hong Zhiyou's number again:
"Hey, Zhiyou, do you have any news?
“Not yet.
"Okay, notify me as soon as there is any news."
……
Hong Zhiyou put down the phone, took the child from Mei Qiuju and started coaxing him.
He has already contacted Adjutant Sun who is beside Fu Zuoyi.
The war is intense right now.
The organizational organs moved as Yancheng abandoned the strategy and temporarily lost contact with the local organizations.
Therefore, even Yu Zecheng found it difficult to contact anyone for a while.
After all, Li Ya's group consisted of hundreds of people, all of whom were garrison troops sent by Hu Zongnan. Each of them was well-armed and could be said to be the elite among the elites.
To rob medicines is equivalent to fighting a small sniper war.
Right now, only Adjutant Sun can do it.
As to whether he was looking for a trusted soldier or secretly contacting the guerrillas in his jurisdiction, this was not something Hong Zhi could speculate.
No matter what, the person who can lurk beside Fu Zuoyi is definitely not an ordinary person.
due to safety concerns.
He couldn't call Adjutant Sun for inquiries.
Just be patient.
I made it till half past ten in the evening.
Hong Zhiyou finally coaxed the little beast.
"Zhiyou, you must be tired. Go and take a rest." Mei Qiuju took the baby and said with concern.
"No.
"You should also go to bed early." Hong Zhiyou said.
“Oh, it’s all my fault, I’m used to hugging you.
"Now this baby has to be held and rocked to sleep. It won't work if he doesn't rock for an hour or so."
Mei Qiuju smiled with some self-blame.
"Children are all like this." Hong Zhiyou said.
He turned off the lights.
Sat on the balcony and smoked for a while.
If he was lucky, Adjutant Sun should have succeeded long ago. If Li Ya drove fast at this point, he should be close to Jinhai.
Losing the medicine is such a big deal.
He must be going crazy and will report to the webmaster immediately.
When it was twelve o'clock, there was still no movement.
Hong Zhiyou couldn't bear it any longer and went to bed to rest.
……
Eleven o'clock in the morning.
Li Ya rushed back to the station.
Last night was a nightmare for him.
First, the medicines were robbed, which led to an unpleasant incident with Zhou Li and others.
Even worse, the car stalled halfway through the drive.
He slept curled up in the car all night and was only able to escape by taking a ride in a ox cart taken by a fellow villager from nearby into the city.
It was a lot of trouble.
I just hurried back to Jinhai.
After entering the station, Li Ya didn't care about his messy hair and dusty body, and walked quickly to the stationmaster's office.
"Captain Li, you're back from Xi'an so soon?"
Yu Zecheng just came back from a meeting and greeted me.
Li Ya's face turned pale and he ignored him.
When he arrived at the stationmaster's office, he didn't bother to knock on the door and just pushed it open and walked in.
Hong Zhiyou was talking to Wu Jingzhong.
Bang!
The door opened heavily, and both of them were startled.
"Captain Li, this is..." Hong Zhiyou pretended to be surprised.
“Stationmaster.
"Sorry, this transportation mission... failed." Li Ya pursed his lips and said unwillingly.
"What's going on?" Wu Jingzhong was shocked.
“Aren’t trains out of service?
"Adjutant Zhou and I discussed the mountain road we would take. We were afraid that Fu Zuoyi's men would intercept us, so I deliberately chose a hidden transportation route that was previously under the rule of Hongpiao.
"But halfway through the journey, we were robbed by bandits."
Li Ya said with a depressed look on his face.
"bandit?
“I was robbed!
"Zhou Li has more than a hundred people, all of whom have guns, but they were still robbed by bandits. I'm afraid I've seen a ghost."
Wu Jingzhong said in disbelief.
“I wanted to call.
“But the bandits have cannons, and I’m afraid the medicine will explode.
"Besides, these guys are all bastards. When the bandits shouted, they just dropped their guns and ran away.
"Stationmaster, this Zhou has been at odds with me all along the way.
"I don't know what to say when I get to Hu Zongnan.
"You have to help me."
Li Ya was really panicked.
The medicine costs hundreds of thousands of dollars.
Now that the fighting on the front lines is fierce, the value of medicines is immeasurable.
Hu Zongnan must have skinned him alive.
"Why.
"Li Ya, Li Ya, how can you take the red ticket transportation line?
"Are you afraid that people will think you're not famous enough?
"The Whampoa clique has always been at odds with Boss Dai. They were sworn enemies during the Military Control Commission period. How can you ask me to go to Hu Zongnan to plead for mercy?"
Wu Jingzhong was so angry that he started cursing.
"Oh, I didn't expect that..." Li Ya curled his lips and couldn't continue.
"teacher.
"Now is not the time to pursue responsibility. The most urgent task is to stabilize Hu Zongnan's people, discuss and shoulder the responsibility of this matter, and how to report to Commander Hu.
"Otherwise, if all the pressure falls on Captain Li alone, something terrible will happen."
Hong Zhiyou suggested.
"Li Ya.
“Where are Zhou Li and the others?
"Where did he go? Go find him quickly." Wu Jingzhong said.
"This, I'm afraid they have arrived in Xi'an by now." Li Ya said.
“I’m at my wits’ end.
"Go back first and wait for news from Hu Zongnan.
"The drugs were lost, and his subordinates were not doing a good job, so they might not dare to make it public.
“You’re lucky you didn’t make a fuss.
"If he wants to make trouble, we can find Jianfeng then."
Wu Jingzhong said.
In fact, he had some say over Hu Zongnan.
I just don't want to say it.
This incident is a good opportunity to test Jianfeng's bottom line.
Ruo Jianfeng still wants to protect Li Ya at all costs.
That means the next step might be to transfer or replace him as the stationmaster.
Wu Jingzhong must let Lu Qiaoshan come back.
Continue to fight and quarrel with Li Ya.
“Okay, I’ll be leaving first.
"Teacher, it all depends on you."
Li Ya walked out with his hands in his pockets.
"Zhiyou, is Fu Zuoyi's adjutant reliable? He won't wear it, will he?" Wu Jingzhong asked in a low voice as Li Ya left.
“I’m not afraid to wear it.
“He only knew my code name.
“The call was made from a public booth, and apart from informing the person, I didn’t share any other information.
"Even if he is caught, he can't be brought to me."
Hong Zhiyou answered in a low voice.
"Yeah." Wu Jingzhong nodded at him.
He was still relieved that Zhiyou was doing the job.
"Teacher, can Li Ya survive this?" Hong Zhiyou asked.
“I think it’s uncertain.
"Hu Zongnan is still boasting about his various achievements every day, but from what we have learned from our intelligence lines, he has suffered a series of defeats in places like Qinghuabian.
“They want to attack in all directions and attack in many places.
"People who are popular won't fight him at all. They gather their five fingers together and form a group to attack him where he is weak.
"He is running around for his life now." He is not familiar with the terrain, he can't outrun the enemy, and he can't find anyone to fight.
"Guerrilla warfare... this thing has no solution no matter how you look at it."
Wu Jingzhong frowned and said.
"This battle is not easy to fight." Hong Zhi nodded.
"When Hu Zongnan gets frustrated and angry, he will definitely look for someone to vent his anger on and find all kinds of excuses to shirk responsibility in the future.
"Li Ya can't get rid of this blame.
"It will delay military intelligence.
"If they find out that they are reselling something, it will be a matter of life and death."
Wu Jingzhong said.
“Let’s take a look.
“If Jianfeng wants to protect him, we’ll be in trouble.
“If Jianfeng doesn’t protect him, Li Ya will just be lost.
"I would rather Mao Renfeng send Mao Wanli than another member of the Iron-Blooded Youth League.
“Mao Wanli came here just to ask for money.
"Iron-Blooded Youth Group, what they want is my chair!"
Wu Jingzhong raised his index finger and said angrily.
“What the teacher said is very true.
"Jianfeng had just become the director of the Second Division of the Three Youth League some time ago. The chairman was determined to have him expand the Three Youth League and train it into an intelligence team that was only loyal to Jianfeng.
“Once we swallow the fat piece of Jinhai, it will be of great benefit to the expansion of our power.
"And someone like Li Ya, who has the qualifications, achievements, and means, is indeed the most suitable candidate.
“You have to be on guard.
“It would be best if I could practice Tai Chi for another one or two years.
"Buy us some time."
Hong Zhi has the Tao.
It will be liberated in another one or two years, and then Jinhai Station will be left for Jianfeng and Li Ya to enjoy.
"Ok.
"I've made up my mind. If Li Ya can survive this time, I'll bring Lu Qiaoshan back.
"Have you picked out your presents?
"If it's convenient, go visit Ke Shufen today."
Wu Jingzhong ordered.
"Teacher, are you going?" Hong Zhiyou asked.
“I won’t go.
"If someone comes to rob me and I give myself to them to get their money, they will think I am easy to bully.
"Even if this money is given to her, she has to be very nervous and cautious when handling it.
"do you understand me?"
Wu Jingzhong said coldly.
"clear.
"While I was sending her money, I would also arrange some small shows.
"Teacher, I'll rely on you for Tang Zong's matter."
Hong Zhi has the Tao.
"You can just find a random passerby over there to catch some fresh air.
"Little man.
"He is addicted to reporting. He might have already prepared some negative materials on Zheng Jieming.
"You need to communicate with Cole as soon as possible and invite Zheng Jieming to Qingdao."
Wu Jingzhong Road
"What I'm worried about is that Zheng Jieming won't fall into the trap." Hong Zhiyou said.
"Zheng Jieming has been very high-profile recently.
"He Yingqin is very dissatisfied with him and will transfer Zheng Jiemin.
“As long as he goes.
“Qingdao Naval Base.
"Don't forget, Boss Dai's failure started here.
“When Tang Zong’s report gets out, Zheng Jieming’s life will be difficult.
"You're making his wife suffer again.
"It will be hard for him to have enough food in this land of Jinhai."
Wu Jingzhong said.
"Teacher, with you planning ahead, I think Jinhai will be as stable as a rock." Hong Zhi has been flattering him for two years.
“It’s hard to be as stable as a rock.
"Just countering the moves."
He smiled and waved his hand to signal Hong Zhiyou to go and do his job.
……
Hong Zhiyou drove straight to the Marine Corps.
Since Filson replaced General Butler as the commander-in-chief, the Marines have become noticeably more relaxed and casual.
In broad daylight.
He actually saw a woman coming out of the barracks.
I'm really speechless.
“Hong, my dear friend, come and taste the New Zealand wine sent to me by General Miley from headquarters.
“His own winery.
“When it comes to making wine, selling wine, and tasting wine, you are the most professional.
"Have a taste."
As soon as he entered the barracks, Felson, whose face was flushed from drinking, greeted him warmly.
Hong Zhi took a few sips and couldn't help but praise it.
Then he told what he was asking for.
Felson readily agreed: "Brother, it's just a small matter. You just need to give General Cole a call. There's no need for me to show up."
As he said that, he turned around and went in to make a phone call.
Soon he came back and said, "Commander Cole has agreed to invite your Ministry of National Defense to visit the naval base next Wednesday for an exchange, and he specifically mentioned that he hopes his good friend General Zheng Jiemin will lead the team."
"Perfect.
"Thanks, General."
Hong Zhiyou bowed and saluted.
“Hong, don’t be like this, we are friends.
"Friends should help each other and make more money."
Filson put his arm around his shoulders and walked out drunk.
"General, please stay.
"Take your time drinking. I have something else to do and I'll leave first."
Hong Zhiyou knew that he was not going to finish drinking, so he ran away quickly.
……
He went straight to Ke Shufen's mansion on the Haihe River.
"Madam, Secretary Hong from Jinhai Station is here." The captain reported in a low voice.
"Is that the Jin Haitong that Shen Zui praised so highly?
“Call him in.
"Let me see how good he is."
Ke Shufen sneered.
Hong Zhiyou walked in slowly, bowed slightly and said, "Madam."
“Where’s Wu Jingzhong?
"Why didn't he come?" Ke Shufen asked.
"Stationmaster Wu has gone to a meeting. He will definitely come to meet the madam when he is free." Hong Zhiyou said.
"okay.
"I understand. You can go back now." Ke Shufen said with dissatisfaction.
"lady.
“Jinhai is humid in spring and prone to colds.
"Stationmaster Wu asked me to bring you some herbs to protect you from the cold and dampness. Please accept them."
Hong Zhiyou took out the box and placed it on the table.
“Medicinal herbs?
"Wu Jingzhong doesn't want me to be okay."
She sneered and reached out to pick it open.
As soon as I opened a corner, I saw a coral tree that was as red as blood and about one foot tall.
“I appreciate Jingzhong’s thoughts.
"Thank Stationmaster Wu for me."
Ke Shufen immediately changed her expression and smiled.
"lady.
“Tianhai is fun.
"I heard that you like to listen to opera. Mr. Mei happens to be free. There will be a show in Jinhai soon. I have already got the ticket for you."
Hong Zhiyou handed over the ticket stub.
"Haven't you heard that Mr. Mei is going to perform?" Ke Shufen is an old fan of the concert.
“Maybe he suddenly wanted to start one?
“The lady is here.
"It is our honor in Jinhai City. Who dares not to give face? Master Mei is no exception."
Hong Zhiyou smiled.
In fact, Master Mei had this plan when he came to perform.
Hong Zhiyou just asked Yong Jianqiu to give the matter some advice and then settled it.
"Ok.
"Not bad, you are quite interesting." Ke Shufen felt much better.
"correct.
"Madam, do you like playing mahjong?
“There are several wives from the business and military circles at the Navy Club who particularly admire you.
"I want to ask you to play mahjong with me.
"Madam, if you have some free time, please give Zhi a little face. You can go over there and sit for a while.
"Drink some tea and play a few rounds to kill time."
Hong Zhiyou said gently with a smile.
Ke Shufen loved to hear this.
It was obviously Hong Zhiyou who acted as a bridge and gave her the opportunity to make money.
In the end, she was giving Hong Zhi face.
Who wouldn’t like this sweet girl?
"Since you're the one who suggested it, I'll naturally give you this bit of face.
“It’s just that I’ve never been good at playing cards.
"How big are their fights? How are their skills? You know that your Chief Zheng is incorruptible. I don't have that much money to spend."
Ke Shufen smiled.
“They hit it big.
“One round costs hundreds or even thousands of dollars.
“But the technology is really not that good.
"Madam, with your nobleness and luck, if you sit there, you will surely be able to kill people everywhere."
Hong Zhiyou smiled even more brightly.
"Okay, then let's listen to Xiao Hong and play a few games with them.
"Just arrange your time."
When Ke Shufen heard this, she immediately felt at ease.
"Okay.
“I’ll arrange it right away.
"As for eating, madam..." Hong Zhiyou asked.
"Don't worry about this. I can arrange it myself." Ke Shufen said.
"OK.
“Ma’am, these are my numbers, one for the office and one for home.
"We are at your service 24 hours a day.
"See you later."
Hong Zhi has the Tao.
"Well, go and get busy." Ke Shufen waved her hand.
As soon as Hong Zhiyi left, she couldn't wait to open the box.
There was nothing inside except a red coral.
There are also many antiques, calligraphy and paintings.
And a stack of US dollars.
A full five thousand dollars.
I think it should be the card qualification.
Ok.
The young man is really good at handling things.
But a red coral and a few paintings in ink are far from enough.
Ke Shufen smiled coldly and put it away.
……
Hong Zhiyou left the house and returned to the car.
"Have you figured it out?"
He looked at the passenger seat, where Lin Tian was sitting nonchalantly with a cigarette in his mouth.
“It’s finished.
"Don't be fooled by the few bird guards who come and go easily. As long as you ask, I can get the things back tonight." Lin Tian took advantage of Hong Zhi's visit to find out the surroundings of the house.
“Not yet, let her be beautiful for two days.
"The stationmaster and I agree that it's okay to give gifts to people, but if someone wants to take it out of their pocket, it's impossible.
“Besides, this woman is very arrogant. You should find an opportunity to provoke her and then take revenge on her. You should make her feel terrified and have to beg the stationmaster for help.
"Specifically..."
Hong Zhiyou leaned over and whispered something in his ear.
"rest assured.
"I want her trip to Jinhai to become a lifelong nightmare!"
Lin Tian sneered coldly.
