Chapter 251 Killing a Chicken to Warn Others
Chapter 251 Killing a Chicken to Warn Others
Jinhai.
Shengping Theater.
Master Mei and his disciples performed classic operas such as "The Drunken Concubine" with great enthusiasm.
He has always been arrogant.
The reason why the performance in Jinhai was brought forward was because I was invited by Yong Jianqiu to cooperate with a friend's actions.
Mei knew who Yong Jianqiu was helping.
And he was always sympathetic and friendly.
So, I agreed readily.
After a play is over, Ke Shufen, who has always been high-profile, will naturally go up to present a flower basket or something like that.
Master Mei even pretended to be friendly and exchanged a few words with her.
This gave Ke Shufen great satisfaction in her self-esteem.
You have to know that Master Mei doesn't give face to everyone.
After the show was over, Ke Shufen, along with three guards, put on mink coats and walked out.
Just out of the theater.
A bearded man wearing a hat and a cotton-padded jacket rushed towards him drunk and bumped into him.
"Ouch."
Ke Shufen staggered after being knocked back. She was so noble that she started to curse:
"You are blind, can you walk?"
"Bitch, who... who are you scolding? Do you know who I am?" The man pointed at Ke Shufen drunkenly.
“Get up.
"What the hell, you dare to act wild with my lady? If you don't get out of here, I'll shoot you dead."
Several guards reached into their suits at the same time.
"Hey, you play with guns?
"Who doesn't have a few guns? Where are you from?"
The drunk man was more competitive. He opened his short jacket with his hands, revealing two shiny box guns.
"Knowing that I am..."
Ke Shufen wanted to show off, but the guard quickly put her behind him and looked more serious:
"Brother, where are you from?"
"Just eat for free, get over your shoulders!" the man sneered.
"My uncle is a wealthy man, not an outsider, so let's forget about this matter today." The captain made a strange gesture with his hands and saluted.
"never mind?
"Be careful when you sleep at night."
The man sneered without returning the greeting, winked at Ke Shufen, and staggered away.
"Hi!
"Where did this little jerk come from..."
Ke Shufen wanted to curse, but the guard guarded her and walked towards the car with a serious face: "Madam, get in the car."
Return to the house.
Ke Shufen had never been so humiliated before. She pointed at the guard's nose and cursed him:
"What's wrong with you? You're the only one who feeds you, but you can't even handle a small scoundrel. Get out of here when you return to Jingling."
“Madam, that’s a beard from the mountains of Kanto.
"These guys are bold and ruthless, they are all desperate criminals, don't mess with them."
The guard explained.
"beard?
"Zhang Zuolin was killed by the Japanese, so how could he still have a beard?
"Besides, this is the Republic of China, not the Qing Dynasty or the Beiyang government. Xiong Shihui and Du Yuming have to listen to your Chief Zheng. Why should we be afraid of a mere thief like him?
"I think you are just cowardly, incompetent wastes."
Ke Shufen was so angry that her lungs were about to explode.
"Madam, these people are very treacherous. We are in the open, and they are in the dark. We are hard to guard against.
"It's better not to offend if you can avoid it."
The captain lowered his head and spoke cautiously.
"roll!
"roll.
"You're a bunch of rubbish, get out of here!"
Seeing how useless he was, Ke Shufen became more and more annoyed.
"Madam, Secretary Hong has already arranged the cards..." asked the maid on the other side.
"I'm so angry that I'm almost dizzy. Why am I still playing cards?" she cursed.
After being angry for a while, Ke Shufen washed up and called Zheng Jieming to complain, and then went to bed.
……
In the alley.
Hong Zhiyou was smoking a cigarette.
Lin Tian tore off the beard that was stuck to his face and said with a relaxed look, "It's done."
“Okay, let’s give her some appetizers tonight.
"Remember to be careful not to hurt her.
"Do you need Sun Cheng and Lao Zhou to help you?
"I have met her chief of guards. He is an experienced man."
Hong Zhiyou asked.
"No matter how experienced you are, you can't enter Zheng Jieming's wife's boudoir.
"He can't get in, but I can."
Lin Tian smiled.
"Is the money enough?" Hong Zhiyou asked.
"enough.
"Boss Long gave me a lot of money." Lin Tian said.
"You didn't go to find the kiln girl, did you?" Hong Zhiyou asked with a smile.
"Brother, a wise man never brings up past humiliations."
Lin Tian's face turned red, and he whispered, "Didn't Sister Ji get me a student identity? I'm dating someone at Beiyang University, and we're still together."
“That’s fine.
"Okay, I have something else to do so I'll leave first."
Hong Zhiyou turned out of the alley and got into the car.
Return to the yard.
Yu Zecheng was pacing.
Seeing him, Hong Zhiyou raised his hand to stop him: "If you have anything to say, wait until I finish my meal."
He stepped inside.
Mother He Yinfeng had already prepared dinner, but my younger sister and Hong Yaozu were not at home.
"What about them?" Hong Zhiyou asked.
“Your father has gone out to gamble and hasn’t come back yet.
"Your younger sister had barely eaten a few bites of her meal when she was called away. I don't know what she is busy with every day." He Yinfeng complained.
"Mom, girls are beyond control when they grow up, just let her be." Hong Zhiyou picked up the chopsticks and started eating the food in big mouthfuls.
"Why are you back today?" He Yinfeng asked.
"On the way." Hong Zhiyou thought for a moment and said.
He really couldn't say anything sensational.
It was true that I had something to tell Lao Yu, so I came back to the yard, and most of the time I was with Ruirui.
A trace of sadness flashed across He Yinfeng's eyes. Hong Zhi's heart trembled for a moment, but he pretended not to see it.
"Lele is now 100 days old and can go out.
"Rui Rui and Mrs. Mei brought the baby home today and stayed for quite some time.
“Madam, they are nice people.
"He is an official and your leader, but he didn't ask you to change your child's surname to Wu.
“Just for this reason, this family can get along.
"When did you and Ruirui get married? Don't keep dragging it on like this."
He Yinfeng said.
“Wait until the war is over.
"I have so many things to do right now that I really don't have the energy to think about this," said Hong Zhiyou.
He Yinfeng didn't say anything more, just sighed.
It's not just that girls are no longer under the control of their mothers when they grow up.
The same is true for my son.
This house is cold and deserted, and has long lost any sense of home.
"Mom, this fried pork with peppers is delicious.
"I'll be back for dinner tomorrow."
Hong Zhiyou said as he ate big mouthfuls of rice to relieve the spiciness.
Maybe it's because he's used to eating the food prepared by the Wu family chef.
Occasionally, I'd like to have a home-cooked meal, which tastes really good.
The big iron pan is stir-fried with firewood, the spicy taste of screw pepper is stir-fried with oil residue and thin pork belly, the wok is full of aroma and the fragrance lingers in every mouthful, it is really good.
"Okay, call me in the morning what dishes you want to eat and I'll go buy them." A long-lost smile of understanding appeared on He Yinfeng's face.
After dinner.
Hong Zhiyou came to the yard.
Yu Zecheng has already made the tea.
"I heard from the stationmaster that Jianfeng still has my documents about Yangjia Village in his drawer. I'm afraid Li Ya is going to attack me this time.
“Your senior sister has a lot of troubles here.
“When Liu Xiong was here, there was the grenade and Xiao Wuzi incident.
“There are also the stories of Shopkeeper Qiu during Ma Kui’s time, and the recording incident of Duan Guinian and Qiao Sanmei. These are all archived in the station.
"If Li Ya tries to extract some information from this, it will be disadvantageous to me."
Yu Zecheng said worriedly.
"What are you panicking about?
“You’ve read these files many times, so there shouldn’t be any loopholes.
“Even if there are loopholes, Li Ya won’t be able to find them out in a short time.
"However, your position is very awkward now."
Hong Zhi has the Tao.
"What do you mean?" Yu Zecheng asked.
"Judging from the extent to which Jianfeng supports Li Ya, he is inclined to make Li Ya the deputy station chief, or even the station chief.
"Restoring Li Ya's rank of colonel is the best proof of this.
“He’s a colonel, and you’re a lieutenant colonel.
“Moreover, in terms of seniority, he has always been active on the front lines and must have made many contributions behind the scenes. His contributions to Jianfeng cannot be compared to killing Li Haifeng or arresting Ji Weimin.
“What the stationmaster means is that you vacate the position of deputy stationmaster.
"Let Li Ya and Lu Qiaoshan sit there."
Hong Zhiyou suggested.
“Luqiao Mountain?
"Isn't the Intelligence Department in Shengxiang now?" Yu Zecheng was very surprised.
“What the hell is Shengxiang?
“Just do something and you can knock him down.
“The stationmaster wants Lu Qiaoshan to come back and fight with Li Ya to relieve us, especially you, from the pressure.
"I asked this question to get your opinion.
"After all, you haven't been in this position for a few days. I'm afraid you can't get over it."
Hong Zhi has the Tao.
“It’s a bit reluctant.
"The deputy station chief has the authority to view the confidential documents of each department."
Yu Zecheng winked at him.
“For us, though, the priority is to be able to dive.
"Fine.
"Let's see what method you can use to get me out of here legitimately."
He said with a wry smile.
“Yes, ready-made.
"The confidential room caught fire.
"Aren't those people in the confidential room always smoking in there?
"What was burned in the fire? You are the direct manager, so you are bound to be jointly responsible. Isn't it natural for you to be dismissed as deputy station chief?
"Besides, you can also burn something."
Hong Zhi has the Tao.
"wonderful.
"It's a good opportunity to burn Ma Kui's materials about your senior sister. There are many loopholes there. I'm afraid Li Ya will follow the clues and conduct a secret investigation in Yi County." Yu Zecheng said.
"Then let's do this. You urge Li Ya to archive the information as soon as possible." Hong Zhiyou said.
"I'm just afraid that Li Ya will be suspicious. Isn't it too coincidental?" Yu Zecheng said.
"It's no longer a question of whether or not you have any doubts." "Whether you do it or not, Li Ya has made you his first target for investigation. And, because of James' incident, you have been pushed out to compete with him."
“There’s no chance your relationship will improve.
"When two meet in a narrow road, the brave prevail. It is not a solution to give in and just take a beating. You came here first, so Li Ya can accept a little trickiness.
"Besides, Ke Shufen has always wanted to go to Hexi.
"With this fire, we can delay her for a few more days."
Hong Zhi has the Tao.
"Okay, that's settled then." After careful consideration, Yu Zecheng agreed to the plan.
"okay.
"I have to go back and pick up the baby."
Hong Zhiyou stood up and said.
"Go ahead." Yu Zecheng said with a smile.
……
Hong Zhiyou returned to No. 1 Changde Road.
Mei Qiuju and Ruirui were playing with the child.
"Mom, Ruirui, thank you." Hong Zhiyou looked at the two of them and expressed his sincere gratitude.
"What are you thanking me for?" Mei Qiuju rolled her eyes at him, feeling confused.
"Take the children back to the courtyard." Hong Zhiyou said.
"Hi.
"We are all family, why be polite?
"Your mother felt uncomfortable coming to my place. She must be missing her granddaughter, so I had no choice but to go with Ruirui.
“It just so happens that she has almost recovered now.
"It would be nice to go for a walk and see grandma.
“I also come from a poor rural background, so I can understand.
"Don't worry, you and Lao Wu make money, and Ruirui and I will definitely maintain the two families."
Mei Qiuju smiled.
"Well, thank you, Mom." Hong Zhiyou said.
"It's getting late, you should go to bed early.
"When Ruirui recovers next year, you have to have another child."
Mei Qiuju glanced at the two of them and said.
“Still alive.
"One of them almost cost me my life." Ruirui wouldn't listen.
"That's what your dad meant.
"He was always worried about the little money in his pocket and that he would have to change his last name.
“His last name is Hong, he admitted it.
"Without a penis, he would feel very disappointed if he had the surname Chen or Zhang."
Mei Qiuju smiled.
"Old money-grubber!"
Ruirui curled her lips.
"Zhiyou, you don't want the money you saved with great effort to go to someone else's family, right?" Mei Qiuju said.
"I, I'll listen to Ruirui." Hong Zhiyou scratched his head.
"born.
"Give birth to eight or ten of him. If there's not enough to go around, ask his grandfather for it."
Wu Ruirui smiled and carried the child into the inner room.
“Zhiyou, you have to worry about this.
"From your father's attitude and intention, he still hopes that you can have a penis to carry on the family line.
“I suffered at the hands of the devils.
"Back then, I was arrested and beaten with Stationmaster Qiao's wife, and my body became ill. Could it be that Ruirui is the only one?
"You are still young, you must seize the moment."
Mei Qiuju was afraid that Hong Zhi might take it as a joke, so she gave him some serious instructions.
"Okay, Mom, once Ruirui has fully recovered, we'll put it on the agenda next year." Hong Zhi nodded.
"Okay, go ahead and get busy."
After getting the answer, Mei Qiuju left satisfied.
Arrived at the room.
She pinched Ruirui.
"Oh, Mom, what are you doing?" Ruirui frowned in pain.
"Are you stupid?
"Don't you know how many women Hong Zhi has outside?
“You don’t have a son to take care of you.
"If another woman gets a boy, all his money will become someone else's."
Mei Qiuju glared at her fiercely.
“Wisdom has its limits.
"He has me in his heart. Even if he has a hundred children, he will never miss me and the children.
"If he doesn't have me in his heart, even if I give birth to a bunch of boys, I won't get many children."
Wu Ruirui said while rubbing her arm.
“That’s what I said.
“But not giving when you have children and not being able to give when you don’t have children are two different things.
“Mom is an experienced person.
“The eldest son is to inherit the family business.
"If you give birth to a big son, you will have more say at home.
"Just listen to your mother."
Mei Qiuju said.
"I understand, Mom." Wu Ruirui nodded.
……
Hong Zhiyou shook his head.
As a modern man, he could understand Mei Qiuju's thoughts.
This is the era.
The remnants of the Qing Dynasty and feudal thinking cannot be completely eliminated.
Continuing the family line is an idea deeply ingrained in the common people.
What DINK.
It’s the same for boys and girls.
These are still difficult for people to understand in this day and age.
Then give birth.
With Old Wu's family background and the money he earned, it would not be a problem for him to support a football team.
"Dong dong!"
He knocked gently on the door.
"Come in."
Hong Zhiyou pushed open the door and entered the study.
Wu Jingzhong is reading a book.
What I was reading was actually "On Protracted War".
"Teacher, are you watching this too?" Hong Zhiyou was quite surprised.
Ever since Boss Dai passed away, Wu Jingzhong has become increasingly negative about anti-vote campaigns, and the station has rarely carried out proactive red-vote cleanup activities.
This is also the reason why Jianfeng has complaints and dissatisfaction.
I just didn’t expect that Old Wu would also watch this.
“Only by knowing yourself and your enemy can you win every battle.
"This thing has been out for a while. Back then, when Okamura Yasuji and Tojo Hideki saw it, they were said to be terrified.
“When I read it roughly in the past, I didn’t feel anything interesting.
"Looking back now, the Red Tickets went from the Ruijin Encirclement and Suppression to the Long March, crossing the grasslands and snow-capped mountains, and now they are on par with the Chairman. This is simply an incredible miracle.
"To be honest, seeing Hu Zongnan exaggerating his achievements day by day, I am very worried about the future of the party and the country."
Wu Jingzhong closed it and locked it in the small drawer.
"teacher.
“The manor on Xiangdao Island is almost finished.
"Not long ago, Ma Hansan transported another batch over.
"Teacher, if you want to leave, even if the artillery fire reaches outside Jinhai City, we can still use the US military aircraft to leave.
"They can't trap us."
Hong Zhi has the Tao.
"Ok.
“Yeah, even the red ticket doesn’t dare touch the American guy.
"You were right to get close to them."
Wu Jingzhong nodded.
"How is the ideological work going over at Zecheng?" he asked.
"He understands that the position of deputy station chief attracts a lot of attention," said Hong Zhiyou.
"That's good.
"How's Ke Shufen doing?" Wu Jingzhong yawned and asked.
“She should receive a surprise tonight.
“I estimated the value of the supplies I sent her.
“That pearly red coral must be taken back.
"The rest of the calligraphy and paintings, bottles and jars are worth 10,000 or 20,000 US dollars."
Hong Zhi has the Tao.
"Twenty thousand US dollars, ugh, that's a bit too much." Wu Jingzhong exclaimed with a painful look on his face.
“Teacher, don’t worry.
"No matter how much, Zheng Jieming will have to spit it out, right?
"What's the news from the Ministry of Defense?"
Hong Zhiyou asked.
"Hu Zongnan relied on the military supply department managed by Zheng Jiemin for the $200,000 worth of medicine.
“The chairman has always adopted the mode of allocating money.
“It would be good if Zheng Jieming could get it.
"If you can't get it..."
Wu Jingzhong glanced at him and laughed.
"sleep.
"I'm old, I can't hold on any longer, I get confused when the time comes."
After saying that, he stood up and walked out.
……
house.
As soon as Ke Shufen opened her eyes, she smelled a pungent fishy smell next to her pillow.
Wait until you turn around and take a look.
I saw a dead chicken nailed to the pillow with a sharp knife. The chicken had been dead for a long time and blood was all over the bed.
Ah!
Ke Shufen let out a piercing scream.
"Ma'am, what happened?"
The captain of the guard heard the call and hurried over.
"Quick, quick!"
Ke Shufen didn't care about the distinction between men and women and pushed the door open and ran out in her pajamas.
The captain of the guard went in and frowned:
"Madam, this is a common tactic used by the Guandong mountain bearded man. He is warning you."
"Warn me?
"What do you mean?" Ke Shufen asked.
"Madam, think about it, if this knife was stabbed in your neck..." the captain of guards whispered.
“Otherwise you are all good-for-nothings.
“How did someone get in so late at night? Is this what you call a 24-hour patrol?
"Come on, follow me to the Secret Service.
"I want to see if Wu Jingzhong will take care of it.
"I just don't believe that Jinhai Station, the police station, and the garrison can't do anything to a bandit."
Ke Shufen showed off her power and said angrily.
