Chapter 268 Chen Taohua
Chapter 268 Chen Taohua
“Qiaoshan!
"Lao Lu!"
Wu and Hong hurriedly helped Lu Qiaoshan up.
Hong Zhiyou quickly called the doctor on duty in the infirmary.
After a lot of pinching, Lu Qiaoshan finally woke up.
"Old Lu, what's the matter? Should we send you to the hospital?" Hong Zhiyou asked.
"No, no need.
"I'm just tired these past few days."
Lu Qiaoshan said weakly.
He didn't even have the courage to call Zheng Jieming a thief in front of Wu Jingzhong.
"Okay then, Zhiyou, you help Qiaoshan back to the office and get some nutrition money from the station's account. It's time to rest and eat some more.
"He is a hero of the party and the country.
“We must pay attention to it and protect it.”
Wu Jingzhong gave solemn instructions.
"Yes!" Hong Zhiyou took the order.
He helped Lu Qiaoshan back to the office.
Lu Qiaoshan drank some water and his eyes gradually became brighter.
"Old Lu, you are the practitioner of Deputy Minister Zheng's "Opinions on Anti-Red Science", the pillar of our Jinhai, you must take care of your health.
"Look at Li Ya, you sent your students back home, what kind of life are they going to have?
"Beef noodles in the morning.
“At noon, the house is filled with blessings.
"Western restaurant at night.
"At this very moment, I'm playing tennis with the female college students again.
"Old people should pay attention to their health."
Hong Zhi said with concern.
Practitioner?
I am the founder of the theory!
When this was mentioned, Lu Qiaoshan covered his chest again, his face looking painful.
This is so disgusting.
I can't say anything, and there's no way to sue.
You have to act like your grandson, pretending you know nothing and applauding.
Lu Qiaoshan felt miserable and aggrieved.
"Why.
"Stop talking, Zhiyou, I want to be alone."
Lu Qiaoshan lay down on the sofa, staring at the ceiling with lifeless eyes.
……
Hong Zhiyou returned to the stationmaster's office.
Wu Jingzhong was humming a little tune and fiddling with the potted plants on the windowsill.
"God seems to be in a good mood." Hong Zhiyou said with a smile.
"Yes.
"Li Ya was defeated, and Lu Qiaoshan suffered internal injuries.
"Two tigers are fighting and have already hurt each other. This is a good thing."
Wu Jingzhong put down the scissors, turned around and smiled.
"What happened to Lu Qiaoshan?" Hong Zhi didn't understand.
“Don’t you see it yet?
“When he saw the proposal, he looked like he had seen a ghost.
“I know Zheng Jieming.
"He's good at intelligence work, but with the little knowledge he has, he's not up to the task of theory.
“In my opinion, this thing was probably made by Lu Qiaoshan.
"Now that the prevention science has just achieved some results, Zheng Jiemin has taken the credit and taken all the credit. All our hard work has been wasted on others.
"With Lu Qiaoshan's petty personality, this matter alone will bother him for the rest of his life. I'm afraid he'll lose ten years of his life."
Wu Jingzhong has a keen insight into people's hearts and can tell the reason at a glance.
"I see. So the teacher was deliberately provoking him just now." Hong Zhiyou said.
"Yes.
"He has always been self-righteous. It would be good to let him suffer a little and see Zheng Jieming's true face.
“This person is just like Li Ya, he wants to use and suppress at the same time.
"We can't let them stop fighting for even a moment. If they have free time, they have to do something."
Wu Jingzhong smiled confidently.
……
Intelligence Office.
As soon as Hong Zhiyou left, Sheng Xiang slipped in and saw Zhang Li putting a hot towel on Lu Qiaoshan's forehead.
He couldn't help feeling a little uncomfortable.
When Zhang Li tried to curry favor with him in the past, Sheng Xiang really didn't take it seriously.
Now she has become the secretary of Director Lu. Every now and then she goes to drink and play cards with foreigners. When she puts on silk stockings and skirts, she becomes more feminine.
What a pity.
This woman is very snobbish and now looks down on him.
"Director Lu, you are enjoying the favor of a beauty." Sheng Xiang came over with a licking face.
"If you have something to say, say it. If you have to fart, fart it." Lu Qiaoshan cursed weakly.
"Ahem." Sheng Xiang glanced at Zhang Li.
"Director Lu, let me change the basin of hot water for you." Zhang Li tactfully took the basin and walked out.
"Brother Shan, Shangbo is urging us.
"He said if you don't want it, he will sell the information to Hongpiao.
"Right now, Hongpiao is in a hurry to secure the deep sea, and the price is getting higher and higher. If you don't act now, it will be too late."
Sheng Xiang helped him up and whispered.
"No.
“I’ve been promoted to colonel, and if I want to be promoted to major general, it’s not enough to just catch a deep sea.
“Besides, no one gets promoted one after another.
“The earliest it will happen is five years from now.
"Whoever wants to buy it, go ahead."
Lu Qiaoshan said disheartenedly.
“Brother Shan, Shangbo asked me to tell you that it would be best if you were the one to provide this information.
“He revealed two points.
“One, the deep sea is lurking at Jinhai Station.
“Second, this person has a very powerful background and is very popular, and is someone you are definitely interested in.
"For him, I would even go bankrupt."
Sheng Xiang delivered the message.
Shangbo agreed that as long as the information could be sold, he would get 20% of the profit.
How can Sheng Xiang not risk his life?
Anyway, Lao Lu is a stingy person, so it would be a waste if he doesn’t make money.
"Is it Li Ya?" Lu Qiaoshan pulled away the towel from his forehead and sat up in surprise.
“I can’t say for sure.
"That's what Shangbo said anyway."
Sheng Xiang didn't dare to say too much.
“The only one who has been in the limelight recently is the traitor Li Ya.
"Li Ya is the deep sea?"
Lu Qiaoshan began to ponder.
“That’s very possible.
"Based on the bastard things Li Ya did, he is highly suspected."
Sheng Xiang said with a frown.
Since entering the station, Li Ya has done a lot of weird things that are difficult for ordinary people to understand. It is not unfair to say that he is a red ticket.
"How much does Shangbo want?" Lu Qiaoshan asked.
"Thirty gold bars!" Sheng Xiang said.
“Thirty?
"Last time there were only twenty sticks, how come it has increased so much?" Lu Qiaoshan said angrily.
“Because it’s top secret.
“In order to protect the deep sea, we have to grab the red tickets.
"Li Ya is also trying to rob, probably to destroy the evidence."
As he spoke, he leaned close to Lu Qiaoshan's ear and lowered his voice even lower.
"If it can really prove that Li Ya is a good candidate, then this information is worth any amount of money.
“But this price is really hard to accept.
"Don't be too impatient when doing business. Hold off for a while and wait for him to lower the price."
Lu Qiaoshan ordered.
"Okay." Sheng Xiang accepted the order happily.
……
Cat's Ear Alley.
Li Ya put his hands in his pockets and walked slowly into the courtyard.
"Oh, Captain Li is here. We've been waiting for you for a long time." Shang Bo hurried to greet him.
"Do you have information about the deep sea?" Li Ya asked as they walked.
"That's right.
"I got it from Old Wolf. It's a rare copy. There's only one in the whole Jinhai." Shang Bo said.
"How much?" Li Ya asked.
"Thirty yellow croakers, the big ones!" Shang Bo said with a smile.
"Thirty, you're probably not awake yet." Li Ya said angrily.
"Captain Li, don't disbelieve me, there are plenty of people who want to buy it.
"This is the most famous secret agent in Jinhai after Mount Emei.
“The key is that he is hiding in your Jinhai Station.
"Well, that's enough, isn't it?"
Shang Bo Road.
"Jinhai Station, who is it?" Li Ya narrowed his eyes and became cautious.
"Brother, is this your first day doing this?
“Let me tell you, can this intelligence still be called intelligence?
"If you want to know, you have to take this."
Shangbo rubbed his fingers and made the gesture of money.
"I can only give you ten gold bars and at most one thousand US dollars. How about giving you some face?" Li Ya asked.
"Captain Lee.
“I want to give you face, too.
"But face is not something you can eat. Prices in Jinhai City are changing every day. If you don't have real money, you will go hungry.
"Brother, you are from Yancheng too, so you should know what it feels like to have no food in the jar."
Shang Bo sneered.
“That’s all I have.
"How about you give me the credit first, and I'll pay you back the rest later."
Li Ya frowned, feeling embarrassed.
"Sorry, I can't help you then!
"Captain Li, I still say the same thing.
"If you don't buy it, there are plenty of people who will. Don't regret it later." Shang Bo stared at him, his sneer mixed with a bit of amusement.
Li Ya didn't say any more nonsense and turned away.
Money, he has no.
He had already guessed who Shen Hai was.
Yu Zecheng.
Anyway, there is already a clue, so there is no need to be the scapegoat.
"Captain Li, don't regret it!"
Shangbo was still chasing after him and shouting.
Ha ha.
regret!
Once the relationship between Wang Cuiping and Chen Qiuping is confirmed, I will catch you and beat you up. Then we’ll see if you still dare to ask for the gold bars.
A Xie Ruolin.
A shambo.
No one can escape the electric chair.
"Silly bird!"
Li Ya spat and quickly turned out.
come back to the office.
He took out Yu Zecheng's file, as well as the information on Ma Kui and Liu Xiong, and started making notes on paper.
No matter how you look at it, Yu and his wife are highly suspicious.
But the investigation has made little progress.
The teacher is right.
Evidence must be produced for everything. Just talking is useless. Especially when facing a cunning opponent like Yu Zecheng.
Just when I was worrying, the phone rang.
Li Ya picked up the phone: "Okay, I understand."
He drove to Nankai's shabby courtyard.
Tang Dachun was already waiting.
"Captain Li, someone from the butcher's side just happened to come out to purchase supplies, and brought the intelligence with him.
"Here are the photos and information you requested."
Tang Dachun handed him a file bag.
"Thanks for your hard work."
Li Ya took out a handful of loose US dollars and handed it to him. Without staying for long, he quickly got up and left.
come back to the office.
He quickly packed the file.
The first one is from Chen Qiuping in the Materials Room, and his background and relationship are very clear.
He is from Xutou Village.
Two years younger than Cuiping.
My elder sister, Chen Taohua, was the captain of the Second Guerrilla Brigade of Yi County and had served as the secretary of the Youth League branch.
Li Ya's eyes fell on the photo again.
Chen Qiuping was in military uniform.
Except for her smaller mouth, she and Cuiping are almost cut from the same mold.
Chen Qiuping.
Chen Taohua?
Wang Cuiping?
They are indeed sisters.
This is so popular that it can’t be any more popular.
Li Ya couldn't help laughing out loud.
Of course, he soon found himself in trouble again.
Yu Zecheng wouldn't recognize him just by looking at a photo.
Moreover, this is just an investigation document and there is no original document proving Chen Taohua's identity.
There is another one below, which is about Zuo Lan.
Injured and missing, life or death unknown?
Not much nutrition.
Li Ya touched the corner of his mouth with his fist, a cold light flashed in his eyes, and he made up his mind.
If combined with the information in Lao Shang's hands, maybe there would be a chance.
He quickly came to the stationmaster's office.
Wu Jingzhong was reviewing documents with his head down. He didn't look up and asked:
"What's up?"
"Teacher, I went to the black market to buy intelligence today and got an accurate source.
“The deep sea lurks right in our station.
"So, I want to apply for another sum of money to buy this information."
Li Ya said.
"Are you sure you are in our station?" Wu Jingzhong put down his pen and Zheng Ran said.
“The other party was very sure and offered a high price.
"Teacher, since the time of Boss Dai, there have been rumors that there are secret agents with red tickets in our Jinhai Station. The superiors and the headquarters attach great importance to this matter.
"We are having a lot of trouble on the battlefield right now, and a big part of the reason is because of the leak of intelligence.
"If we can dig out the deep sea, it will be a victory that will deter the arrogance of the red ticket."
Li Ya said with full confidence.
“High price?
"How high?" Wu Jingzhong frowned.
"Thirty gold bars." Li Ya said.
"Li Ya.
“Whether the deep sea is where we are standing, I don’t know.
"I'm afraid you've been bewitched by those guys who resell intelligence.
“They are notoriously good at falsifying intelligence.
“Isn’t this just a marketing gimmick?
“Today they said Shen Hai is at the station, and tomorrow Brother Ouyang, Lou Shanguan and others will also be at the station.
“This person may be Deputy Station Chief Yu, Lu Qiaoshan.
"It could also be me or you.
“This kind of thing is unbelievable.
"You are a senior intelligence officer, you should have this common sense.
"In my opinion, you just have too deep a prejudice against Deputy Station Master Yu.
"Please focus on your work. Is the student work team set up?
“We checked several Red Ticket Underground Unions, District Committees, and Transportation Stations.
“That’s the main focus of your job.”
Wu Jingzhong frowned in dissatisfaction and pointed at him.
"Teacher..." Li Ya wanted to speak.
Wu Jingzhong raised his hand to stop him: "If you really want the information, check it yourself and grab it yourself. I really don't have a dime in my pocket."
"Fine.
"But I want to go to your house tomorrow, and I hope you can say hello to Master's wife."
Li Ya curled his lips helplessly.
“I support people making a living by their own ability.
"Ok, deal."
Wu Jingzhong nodded.
When Li Ya saw Wu Jingzhong lowering his head to review documents, he gave him a cold look and then turned and left.
He was also testing Wu Jingzhong.
Under normal circumstances, Wang Cuiping would go to the stationmaster's home to help take care of the children, or play mahjong or go shopping with him.
He only told the stationmaster that he was going to start with Cuiping.
If Wang Cuiping doesn't want to go tomorrow.
There is only one possibility, the webmaster tipped off Yu Zecheng and they are in the same group.
This is where things get interesting.
……
The next day.
After Yu Zecheng finished his breakfast, he picked up his briefcase and prepared to change his shoes.
"Old Yu, Secretary Hong said that Li Ya has been targeting us recently, so we should be careful.
"Do you think I should go to the bookstore and the stationmaster's house again?"
Cuiping asked while cleaning up the dishes.
"What did he say?" Yu Zecheng asked while brushing his leather shoes.
"He said I'd better act like usual and do what I need to do," Cuiping said.
“Then listen to him.
“It’s time to go to the stationmaster’s house.
"If someone asks you about family matters, such as our marriage and your sister, you have to answer them."
The rest will become the Tao.
"Yes, I understand. My sister got separated from the Japanese a few years ago and I haven't seen her for some years." Cuiping nodded.
"right.
"Li Ya is a very cunning person.
“No matter what he says, don’t take it seriously, just treat it with a normal attitude.
"Remember?"
Yu Zecheng was very afraid that Li Ya would ask about Sister Cuiping.
"Don't worry, I'm not stupid." Cuiping said with a smile.
……
Cuiping arrived at the stationmaster's house.
The stationmaster's house has everything including a chef and servants, as well as a maid named Chou'er who has been with him for many years. Cuiping doesn't have to do anything.
Where is Ruirui?
Apart from feeding the children, I spend most of my time reading or drawing.
Cuiping only had to talk and chat with Mei Qiuju, and help change the baby's diapers.
"Sister, you shouldn't have come today."
Mei Qiuju rolled her eyes and said as soon as she sat down and washed her hands.
"Sister Mei, what, what do you mean?
"You don't welcome me anymore."
Cuiping knew that she had good intentions, so she pretended to be stunned.
"Silly girl, I didn't mean that.
"Didn't you say last time that you had a stomachache recently?
"I thought you should rest more at home."
Mei Qiuju quickly smiled and tried to smooth it over.
"No, it doesn't hurt anymore.
"I'm not like Ruirui who can draw or read foreign languages. With my personality, I can't stay at home bored."
Cuiping glanced at Ruirui who was watering the flowers and smiled enviously.
"What's the use of it? You can't eat it as steamed buns. It's just a toy." Mei Qiuju said.
Chatted for a while.
Chou'er walked in: "Madam, Captain Li is here."
"Li Ya is here, please come in." Mei Qiuju glanced at Cuiping and smiled uncomfortably.
Ruirui put down her paintbrush and returned to her room.
Don’t ask what you shouldn’t ask.
Don’t listen to what you shouldn’t listen to.
Don’t meet people you shouldn’t meet.
This is the family tradition.
Soon, Li Ya came in with a gift.
"Master's wife, sister-in-law, Ruirui.
"I know Ruirui needs to replenish her body after giving birth, so I specially bought a few bags of local eggs. Please accept them as a small token of my appreciation." He greeted politely.
"Come if you want to. Why do you need to buy anything? You are not a stranger." Mei Qiuju waved her hand and Chou'er quickly took it.
"Captain Li is very particular." Cuiping took charge and poured him some tea.
We chatted for a while.
Mei Qiuju stood up and said, "The child is crying. I'll go check on him. You two can chat."
"Master's wife, you are busy." Li Ya stood up respectfully.
Cui Ping was about to follow in when Mei Qiuju glanced at her and said, "Sister, please greet Li Ya for me. I'll be back soon."
"Okay, sister-in-law." Cuiping sat back down.
"Mrs. Yu, you have been in Jinhai for quite some time, right?" Li Ya asked with a smile.
"Anyway, I came here earlier than you." Cuiping chatted with him and didn't give in.
She thought that Li Ya and her own father Yu did not get along.
As a "village woman", I have to protect my man and not be too polite when speaking.
"not necessarily.
“I came to Jinhai before the liberation, when Stationmaster Chen was still in charge.
“Then I went to Yancheng.
"Didn't your old Yu tell you?"
Li Ya raised his eyebrows and began to ask questions.
“Lu Qiaoshan said it at my house.
"I heard some sound."
Cuiping Road.
"What sound?" Li Ya asked quickly.
“Say you’re a piece of shit, ungrateful.
"You were eating dirt in Yancheng, and I asked someone to bring you back from Xi'an, but you took me away with you."
Cuiping curled her lips.
Li Ya was so angry.
He took a deep breath, crossed his legs and asked:
"Sister-in-law, you haven't been home for so long. Commander Fu has taken back Yi County. It's more convenient to go back now than before."
"Yes.
“I was robbed by bandits when I went back before.
"But there's nothing to see. My parents fell into a ravine and died while fleeing from the Japanese. Only my aunt is left, and I don't even know if she's still alive."
Cuiping said.
"wrong.
"I've read the files. You should have a younger sister."
Li Ya glanced at her and asked in a deep voice.
"There was one, but he got lost during the Japanese invasion. He hasn't been around for a few years, so I guess he's long gone.
"No, why do you keep asking me about my family?
"What? You want me to help you with matchmaking?
“Let me make it clear first, you can use anyone’s matchmaker, but not yours.
"Who in Jinhai City doesn't know about Miss Mei's affairs?"
Cuiping is quick-witted and sharp-tongued, but she won't tolerate him.
"I have a photo here, maybe you can take a look at it." Li Ya knew that he couldn't get any useful information from him, so he took out a photo of Chen Qiuping from his pocket and handed it over.
