Chapter 250: Blade Pointing Inward
Chapter 250: Blade Pointing Inward
"It's expected. He's a famous person in Jianfeng." Hong Zhiyou said.
"But it's also a good thing, at least for you, Old Lu."
He smiled and looked towards Luqiao Mountain.
Lu Qiaoshan looked at him for two seconds, then quickly came to his senses, nodded and smiled:
“Yes, it’s a good thing.
"Although I failed to eliminate Li Ya and relieve my hatred, we brothers can join forces again, right?"
Li Ya is not dead.
Wu Jingzhong will need to go back to Jinhai to compete with Li Ya.
It can indeed be considered a good thing.
“Don’t worry, Brother Shan.
"Your business is my business, and I will help you get back to Jinhai Station.
“But don’t be impatient.
"Especially when facing Zheng Jieming, you must show your reluctance and loyalty.
"Otherwise, he would rather hide you than let you have your day.
"After all, not everyone is a webmaster with a big heart."
Hong Zhi gave him some advice.
"Don't worry, brother. I, your brother, have been in the officialdom for so many years, so I understand this matter well." Lu Qiaoshan Zheng Ran said.
Then he sighed:
"I've had a lot of ups and downs over the past year, and I've experienced all kinds of things in life. So many people, including my son, have become more or less close to me because of my ups and downs.
"You and your sister-in-law are the only few who are always sincere to me.
“Nothing more to say.
"From now on you will be my brother, and we will share the joys and sorrows together."
"Brother Shan, you're welcome." Hong Zhiyou shook hands with him.
"gone.
"Now that Li Ya is back, the station might be in chaos again.
“And there’s the new Director Sheng.
"All this needs to be taken care of."
He teased and stood up.
“If you hadn’t mentioned it, I would have forgotten there was a Sheng Township.
“This is an appointment from headquarters.
"If I want to come back, do I have to let him make room?"
Lu Qiaoshan suddenly got into trouble.
"Yes.
“So, Director Lu, you’d better think of a solution.
“He’s your man.
"If the stationmaster wants to touch him, he needs some...things."
Hong Zhiyou made a gesture as if he was looking at the materials.
After saying that, he put his hands in his pockets and left in a cool manner.
"Why.
“This time they really shot themselves in the foot.
"If I had known that Old Wu was so easy to talk to, why would I have gone through all this trouble?
“Now it is easier to invite gods than to send them away.
"We have to find a way to get rid of this kid Sheng Xiang."
Lu Qiaoshan was in trouble.
……
Hong Zhiyou returned to the station.
In the corridor, I happened to meet Li Ya.
Li Ya, dressed in a suit and tie, with sleek hair, was drinking tea with the stationmaster.
Apart from feeling a little tired and looking a little pale.
It’s not a big deal.
"Captain Li!
"I knew that you were blessed with great fortune and would be able to turn misfortune into fortune."
Hong Zhiyou stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder, looking him up and down.
“Thanks to Jianfeng and the stationmaster.
"Hu Zongnan didn't dare torture me, so I just starved him for three days."
Li Ya smiled.
"Brother, don't think I'm being rude.
"He was able to return home unscathed, there is no doubt that Jianfeng is truly in love."
Hong Zhiyou winked and smiled.
"You still don't like this?
"This is the only sentence I've heard this year, and it makes me so happy.
"Yes.
“I came back intact and I am still the captain of the operation.
“By the way, there may be some documents coming down from the headquarters, and the stationmaster should have received them by now.
"Let's go to the conference room for a meeting.
"Let's go and listen together."
Li Ya was in a good mood and put his arm around his shoulders as they walked into the station.
Head on.
Just then, Sheng Xiang walked out of the Intelligence Department.
I haven't seen him for a long time. This guy has a big belly and really looks like a corrupt official.
When the three of them met, no one said a word.
"Secretary Hong, Captain Li."
Sheng Xiang, who had originally had his hands behind his back, stretched out his hand first and smiled with a familiar flattery.
"Director Sheng, congratulations." Hong Zhiyou simply shook hands with him.
Li Ya didn't even bother to look at him and went straight to the stationmaster's office.
"This..." Sheng Xiang curled his lips in dissatisfaction.
“Don’t mind it, Director Sheng, Captain Li has just that kind of temper.
"Let's go, the stationmaster is waiting."
Hong Zhiyou patted him on the shoulder.
"Secretary Hong.
“I know you have a good relationship with Brother Shan.
"It's the same when I come here. You have to take care of me in the future.
“Don’t worry, I, Sheng Xiang, can do what Brother Shan can do.
"Think more about your brothers if there are benefits."
Sheng Xiang didn't pretend and smiled in a low, mercenary way.
He knew that he didn't know how long he could hold this position, so he had to seize the opportunity and make the most of it.
"Easy to say.
"Director Sheng, please."
When they arrived at the door of the meeting room, Hong Zhiyou slowed down for a moment and raised his hand to let Sheng Xiang go first.
"No, we are both majors, so you should go first."
Sheng Xiang also did not forget to show off his new military rank.
"No, you are an important member of the department, and I am just a tea server, how can I compare with you.
"Director Sheng, please!"
Hong Zhiyou raised his hand again.
"Ah."
Sheng Xiang nodded and walked in with his hands behind his back.
The whole person felt light.
This is Secretary Hong from “Tianjin Haitong”.
I didn't expect that there would be a day when he would pave the way for me.
How cool!
Looking at the successful appearance of the villains in Shengxiang, Hong Zhiyou shook his head secretly.
Details determine success or failure.
Just from this one try, you can tell that this person has no sense of reality. He is a pure mercenary villain who doesn't even have much brains.
No wonder the stationmaster knew he was stealing information but was too lazy to do anything to him.
It was not until Qian Siming was lost and there was no way to report back that they dragged him out to take the blame.
Arrived at the conference room.
Wu Jingzhong sat at the top.
Yu Zecheng sat at the number one position on the left, and Li Ya sat at the number one position on the right.
Hong Zhiyou sat below Yu.
Just as Sheng Xiang was about to sit down next to Li Ya, Li Ya waved to Section Chief Qin in the confidential room:
"Lao Qin, sit here."
"Captain Li, this, this is not good." Section Chief Qin was an honest man and said with some embarrassment.
“Nothing bad.
"I just happen to have something to discuss with you later."
Li Ya pulled him to sit down.
Wu Jingzhong sat at the head with a calm expression.
Sheng Xiang glared at Li Ya and could only move down one position helplessly.
The director of the intelligence department was suddenly one level lower than the section chief.
It's really annoying.
“I came here today mainly for two things.
“First of all, according to the instructions of the Second Department and the headquarters, Sheng Xiang was officially promoted to the director of the Intelligence Department of Jinhai Station.
"Sheng Xiang, we are old colleagues, let's say hello."
Wu Jingzhong said with a smile.
"Webmaster, everyone, please take care of me in the future." Sheng Xiang stood up and bowed to everyone with a smile.
"The second thing.
"According to the recommendations of Comrade Jianfeng and the headquarters, Li Ya's rank of colonel, salary, and benefits will be restored.
“In addition, starting today, the entire station will launch a new round of internal inspections.
“Now in Jingling, including on the tea table of the chairman and Jianfeng, there has been a strange story circulating, saying that there is a traitor in our Jinhai Station.
"It used to be Ma Kui, and the martyrs' cemetery built for him with red tickets was filled with flowers in front of his tomb.
“But it’s not enough.
“The higher-ups believe that the pebbles and deep-sea currents are most likely hidden at our Jinhai Station.
“Oh, that’s strange.
"I don't know how the headquarters determined it. It's not in the City Defense Bureau, the Security Command, or the Public Opinion Bureau, but it must be in our Jinhai Station."
Wu Jingzhong looked at everyone half seriously and half jokingly and smiled.
"Headquarters.
"They must have their own channels and opinions. If they say they have them, then they have them. So let's check them out."
Yu Zecheng agreed with a smile.
"Captain Li, you are an authority and professional in this area. What do you think?" Wu Jingzhong asked with a smile.
"Stationmaster, please stop laughing at me.
"I don't think I'm an expert, but please give me some advice."
Li Ya was not embarrassed at all. On the contrary, his eyes were full of confidence as he continued:
“As Deputy Station Chief Yu said, the headquarters has its own considerations.
“The fighting situation at the front is intense right now.
"Although the Red Army's weapons, equipment, military strength and supplies were far inferior to ours, they still fought tenaciously and continued to fight despite the losses.
“I think a big part of the reason is, as you once said: we have weapons, and the red tickets have talents.
“Their people are everywhere like ants.
“In the past, we didn’t pay enough attention to ants, but we didn’t know that once they come together, ants can swallow elephants.
“Therefore, the top priority for the headquarters is to fight well on the front line.
“The rear must strengthen the embankment and foundation.
“It is urgent to eliminate the ants.
"Then according to the instructions of Comrade Jianfeng and Director Mao, each station will conduct an internal investigation, and we should also start at Jinhai Station."
Li Ya said this and glanced at everyone.
"it is good.
“All staff in each department must cooperate with Captain Li in conducting self-inspections.
"If there are any problems, please report them as soon as possible and try to resolve them within the site.
"Otherwise, once it is discovered, it must be sent to Jingling for investigation."
Wu Jingzhong set the tone in public.
"Li Ya, you've worked hard. This whole thing depends on you." He looked at Li Ya.
“Thank you, Station Master.
"I will definitely do my best."
Li Ya accepted the order respectfully.
He is now grateful to Wu Jingzhong and has great trust in him.
Pull him out of the "water" several times.
Even though his skills had failed several times, he was still entrusted with important tasks.
Only the relationship between teachers and students can bring such a blessing.
"The meeting is dismissed!"
Wu Jingzhong was in high spirits. He stood up, made the announcement, and walked away quickly.
Back in the office, Wu Jingzhong gestured to Hong Zhiyou, who closed the door and locked it.
It won't work if you don't unlock it.
A Maqui.
A Li Ya.
When these two get angry, they usually force their way in.
This made Wu Jingzhong very angry for a while.
"Teacher, what's going on today?
"Didn't Li Ya just get tricked by Hu Zongnan? Why is he conducting an internal investigation?"
Hong Zhiyou asked with a frown.
“What else can it be?
"As I expected, Jianfeng defended Li Ya until his death.
"Hu Zongnan personally released the people and even told everyone that they were robbed by bandits. Before he left, he gave Li Ya two hundred dollars as a reward for his escort.
“The blame for the missing drugs has now been passed to the Ministry of Defence.
“Blame the Ministry of National Defense’s Munitions Department for not taking action.
"Isn't this just asking for trouble with Zheng Jieming by name?
"Zheng Jieming is still in Qingdao right now.
"I guess the old man will have to bear the brunt of the money he gets back."
Wu Jingzhong analyzed.
"Probably.
"Given Zheng Jiemin's steadiness, it is unlikely that he would follow Dai Li's footsteps and lead a tour group in Qingdao.
"Most likely it was the old man and He Yingqin who gave the order.
"This is like forcing him to roast on the stove. The $200,000 in drug expenses is like adding fuel to the fire.
“The old man was pulling and beating at the same time.
"This move is still a good one."
Hong Zhi nodded.
“Get Luqiaoshan back as soon as possible.
“I don’t think Sheng Xiang will achieve anything great, so let him go as soon as possible.
“Jianfeng wants to investigate, and we can’t stop him.
“Having Luqiaoshan here can help share our pressure.
"After all, Li Ya himself has a dirty record, so there are some things that it is inconvenient for me as a 'mentor' to express my opinion on. It would be much more convenient if Lu Qiaoshan stepped in.
"As for Deputy Station Master Yu, ask him to clean up his mess as well.
“Don’t let Li Ya bite you again.
"Li Ya is not like Ma Kui. If he bites you, blood will be drawn."
Wu Jingzhong ordered.
"clear.
"Ke Shufen is going to watch a play tonight. I have been feeding her a lot these past few days, including the card games and gifts.
"It's time to give her some eye drops."
Hong Zhi has the Tao.
"Go ahead and talk to Li Ya and Ze Chengdu.
"Especially Li Ya, he still has no idea what instructions Jianfeng has given him behind the scenes, I hope he won't find out about it later.
“I’m not afraid of money issues.
“I’m just worried that Ma Kui’s case will be retried. I was the one who oversaw this case.
“If someone were to overturn Ma Kui’s case or reopen the investigation into Liu Xiong’s case, it would be very dangerous.
“You must know that whatever you do will leave traces.
"Be careful."
Wu Jingzhong gave the instructions in a solemn and low voice.
"Yes, teacher, I know what to do." Hong Zhiyou said.
……
Action Team Office.
Li Ya was in high spirits and asked Gao Yuan to go to the archive room and bring back a large pile of files.
"Captain Li, all the clerical staff in the station, except the stationmaster's file, are here." Gao Yuan reported.
“Forget it, Station Master.
"Gao Yuan, who do you think is the most likely to be popular in the station?"
Li Ya asked.
"Captain Li, I dare not say that." Gao Yuan waved his hands quickly.
"wrong.
“A good intelligence officer must be skeptical about everything, but must appear to have no skepticism.
“This is what the stationmaster said in the first lesson he gave us.
“You are an excellent student, so you should trust your instincts.
"Sometimes men's intuition can be very accurate."
Li Ya smiled.
“Let’s not talk about intuition first, let’s talk about if I were to choose.
“I would choose you first, Captain Li.
"You look most like a red ticket."
Gao Yuan said bravely.
"Me?" Li Ya frowned.
"Yes... yes." Gao Yuan was a little nervous.
"It's okay, just tell me." Li Ya said.
"You are an upright person, you don't smoke, you rarely drink, and you basically don't get close to women. At least you are very restrained.
“Besides, you have a clean temperament.
“They are different from those money-grabbing people in the municipal government and Secretary Hong.
"Anyway, you don't look like a spy, but an upright teacher.
“It is said that people with red tickets have many rules and have been brainwashed by so-called revolutionary ideas, so their spirit is very positive.
"So, if I were to judge, you are the most unusual and the most admired person in the station."
Gao Yuan said with a truthful expression.
Li Ya couldn't help but laugh after hearing this.
This kid is not being mean at all, he is clearly finding ways to praise him.
But then again.
There are indeed not many people like him who are willing to abide by some of the old Military Control Commission rules.
"Besides me, who else do you think looks like him?" Li Ya asked.
"It must be Secretary Hong." Gao Yuan said.
“Hong Zhi has?
"Why him?" Li Ya asked.
"He knows everyone, from all walks of life, even the rich.
"The Kong Fang who transported grain to Fu Zuoyi.
“Wasn’t it just a red ticket before?
"So, if I have to choose another person, I would think it is Hong Zhiyou."
Plateau Road.
"Your intuition is bullshit, get lost."
Li Ya was both amused and annoyed when he heard this.
"Yes!"
Gao Yuan nodded and bowed and slipped away.
Li Ya took out a piece of paper and started to make a list of suspects on it.
The number one ranked person is: Yu Zecheng!
Jianfeng had instructions when he came back this time.
Jinhai shoulders the responsibility of a support base and must not lose it.
During past negotiations, supplies and weapons shipped to the Northeast were often leaked by red notes, accusing the Nationalist government of destroying peace.
This is obviously someone with popular votes in an important position.
It is urgent to clean up these pests.
He took out Yu Zecheng's files and began to study them, including the daily work records that Yu Zecheng had handled in the Confidential Office.
Of course, targeting Yu Zecheng also involves another mission of Jianfeng.
As the stationmaster, Jianfeng no longer relies on him because the chairman has given instructions.
But the deputy stationmaster, Jianfeng, hopes he can get it.
This will be beneficial both in checking red tickets and in future work.
The key point is that Li Ya has now regained his military rank of colonel.
There's no reason to be second only to a lieutenant colonel.
Thinking of this, Li Ya's eyes flashed with ferocity.
No.
We must chew off this tough bone of Yu Zecheng at all costs.
……
house.
Ke Shufen was cracking melon seeds and chatting with Hong Zhiyou in a casual manner.
She liked the young man more and more.
He is much more capable than Lu Qiaoshan's son. He is good-looking, sweet-spoken, and does things well.
"Ma'am, have some watermelon. It was airlifted to the U.S. military from Southeast Asia. I asked someone to get some for you to try.
"And this longan, it's good for your skin and blood."
Hong Zhiyou cut the fruit plate and brought it up.
"Ok.
"Not bad. Although not as sweet as in summer, it is a novelty to be able to eat it in this season."
Ke Shufen took a small bite and smiled with satisfaction.
“It’s not cheap actually.
"It's just you, ma'am. The stationmaster's wife and my husband didn't have this experience."
Hong Zhiyou clasped his hands and smiled apologetically.
"Don't stand there all the time. Sit down. You are not a stranger." Ke Shufen's smile became even brighter.
“No, there is a difference between the noble and the humble.
"Commander Zheng would probably chop off my head if he knew that I dared to sit with you."
Hong Zhiyou smiled.
"You.
"Yes, young man, you know how to behave and handle things with due care. No wonder Wu Jingzhong thinks so highly of you.
“Zhiyou, are you interested in working with my hometown?
"He just happens to be in need of a secretary."
Ke Shufen said.
"Thank you for your kindness, madam.
"Zhi You is not very talented and well-educated, and he is not familiar with the affairs of Jingling. Moreover, if I leave Jinhai, my martial arts skills will be wasted.
"Chief Zheng wants me, a useless man, so wouldn't that be holding him back?"
Hong Zhiyou smiled respectfully.
"Too.
“I heard that Wu Jingzhong took over Zhang Xun’s old house, which is a famous mansion in Jinhai.
"Can you take me around when you have time?
"It also opened my eyes and broadened my horizons."
Ke Shufen has collected a lot of good things in the past few days, and once her appetite is whetted, she naturally can't stop.
“I don’t deserve a mansion.
“It’s just a little more spacious.
"Stationmaster Wu knew you wanted to go, and he had it cleaned a long time ago.
"Then I will arrange a time and invite Madam to come and see it another day."
Hong Zhi agreed readily.
It's okay to look at it.
I’m afraid she won’t be able to stay in Jinhai after tonight.
"Madam, the show is about to start at Shengping Theater, please move over." Hong Zhiyou said.
"it is good.
“Not everyone can hear Master Mei’s plays.
"Walk.
"Captain Luo, please arrange a car."
Ke Shufen got up, went in to touch up her makeup, changed into some elegant and gorgeous clothes, and went out with her handbag.
"Secretary Hong.
"I've been suffering from insomnia lately, so please arrange a card game for me.
"I'll go straight over after I come back from the show."
She turned around and gave another order.
"Okay, ma'am." Hong Zhiyou received the order beside the car and watched it drive away.
When the car disappeared, a sneer appeared on his lips.
Haha, it would be strange if you were in the mood to play cards tonight.
He also wants to covet things from Hexi.
Don’t even think about taking a single cent of what Jinhai got. You have to give it all back!
