Chapter 304 This is coming for me
Chapter 304 This is coming for me
Mu's house.
Hong Xiaohui, dressed in a light blue school uniform, skirt, and black rubber shoes, walked over briskly with a schoolbag slung over her shoulder and gently rang the doorbell.
"Oh, the young lady is back, please come in." The old servant of the Mu family hurriedly welcomed her in.
"Uncle Liu, just call me Xiaohui."
Xiaohui bowed politely and entered the hall.
Hong Zhiyou was feeding Wanqiu medicine, and there was tenderness in both of their eyes.
Hong Xiaohui agreed with her elder brother on this point.
Romance is romance.
It’s really good for women too.
Unlike those rich young men who only treat women as playthings.
"Brother, Sister Wanqiu." Hong Xiaohui could still clearly tell who was her real sister-in-law.
"Xiaohui is here, you haven't eaten yet.
"Auntie Wu, go bring the chicken soup and stir-fry two more delicious dishes."
Wanqiu quickly gave instructions.
Soon, the kitchen prepared the food. Xiaohui didn't hesitate to eat a large dinner and drink a large bowl of chicken soup:
"Sister Wanqiu, you don't know how busy I am. I haven't rested all day, but I'm starving."
"What are you busy with?" Hong Zhiyou looked at her coldly.
"There are more than 300 students from Northeast China settled in Peking, and our student union is responsible for arranging food and accommodation for them, as well as distributing books and so on.
"The canteen was also stingy, only giving each person a cold steamed bun, or a few brown rice dumplings, and a bowl of tofu soup.
"College students already have big appetites, and this amount is not enough to fill their stomachs. The students coming over there are all in a bad mood." Xiaohui said.
“That’s what we’re used to.
"It's already this late, and you're still dreaming of having five big steamed buns and a few ounces of noodles for a meal. What a sweet dream." Hong Zhi said unhappily.
"I have to stutter." Hong Xiaohui whispered.
"Tell me, what's the matter?
"It's ok. We're done eating. Go hand out your flyers."
Hong Zhiyou now neither supports nor opposes this fearless sister, and just lets her do what she wants.
Hong Xiaohui curled her lips at him.
"alright.
"How can you talk like that? Xiaohui, ignore your brother. Take a good bath and have a good night's rest.
"If you are short of money or funding, tell me.
"The family is not short of money."
Wanqiu rolled her eyes at Hong Zhiyou and said with a smile.
"Thank you, Sister Wanqiu." Xiaohui blinked and walked upstairs.
"My old school uniform is still here. If you have no clothes, you can wear mine." Wanqiu shouted downstairs.
For a while.
Xiaohui went downstairs.
"Brother, can you give me some funding? The student organization is a bit short of cash." She was too embarrassed to really ask Wanqiu for money.
"Ask Yong Manzhu for it." Hong Zhiyou said.
"She's gone too. The Yong family has moved to North America, and Miss Yong's little funding has long been spent," said Hong Xiaohui.
“Here.
"Don't come here asking for money all the time.
"The last time."
How could Hong Zhi ask Wanqiu to pay, so he took out a pack of silver dollars from his bag and gave them to Xiaohui.
"Is that enough?" he asked.
“Enough is enough.
"Even if we have money now, the grain market may not release grain. Brother, can you give us a heads up?
"Sell us some."
Hong Xiaohui blinked and begged.
Hong Zhiyou glared at her unhappily, walked aside, picked up the phone receiver, and dialed the number:
"Manager Li, it's me, Hong Zhiyou.
"Leave some flour for Nankai students. I'll pay for it later. Yes, deliver it to the school warehouse.
“Just leave it to Principal Liao.
"it is good.
"Goodbye, let's have tea together some other day."
Hong Zhiyou hung up the phone.
"Brother, why did you let Principal Liao take over? Now he has to control the quantity, which is the same as if he had nothing." Hong Xiaohui said dissatisfiedly.
"Xiaohui, you are still young and don't understand many things.
“You want to keep everybody fed.
“But have you ever thought about this? Human hearts are never satisfied. Among so many people, there will always be some who can eat their fill and some who cannot.
“Once the waters are not even, you will become a target of public criticism.
“Now we can also have steamed buns and tofu soup.
“After a while, I’m afraid we won’t even be able to drink the rice porridge mixed with sand.
"You can manage them for a while, but can you manage them for a lifetime?
"Revolution also requires brains. Relying solely on passion often leads to failure."
Hong Zhi has the Tao.
"I understand." Hong Xiaohui nodded.
Watching Xiaohui leave, he couldn't help but shook his head.
"What's wrong?" Wanqiu asked.
"Ms. Yong never asked Xiaohui to come to collect food. It was clearly someone from the student organization who instigated her.
“Why are you looking for her?
"Isn't it just that I have money and connections?
"In my opinion, these students will definitely cause big problems."
Hong Zhiyou frowned and sighed slightly.
"Then you should quickly find Xiaohui back." Wanqiu said.
"I can't find it back, so let it be."
……
Nankai University.
After the summer sun, even the crickets on the lawn stopped chirping.
As there were no extra dormitories, students could only sleep in the open air on mats. The sweat and foot odor, hunger and fatigue made the students from the three northeastern provinces miserable.
Of course, dormitories are not available.
No one wants such a group of troublemakers who love to eat and drink to stay in their territory.
The municipal government had already issued a strict order to the school's top management, requiring them to move this group of wandering students south as soon as possible, to any place except their own territory.
The July 5th Incident had just happened, so we couldn't fight.
This is the only way to make students give up.
This was also the method implemented by Fu Zuoyi in Peiping.
At this moment, the students were sitting in a circle. In the middle, a young man with short hair, thick eyebrows and big eyes was sitting cross-legged on the ground, waving his arms and giving a speech:
"Today's government is extremely corrupt, relying entirely on radio and newspapers to deceive the people. We should..."
"Is that guy the student leader?" At the window of the cafeteria building in the distance, two figures were smoking cigarettes side by side. The middle-aged man with a horse face and skinny cheeks asked the fat cook beside him.
"That's right.
"His name is Guo Shuwen. He was the one who organized the students to make trouble all the way from outside the Great Wall to Jinhai. He ate a lot. He had to eat ten big steamed buns and three bowls of rice porridge in one meal." The fat cook said with disgust.
"Make him something nice and send him on his way."
The man in the Zhongshan suit said coldly.
As he said this, he took out a packet of poison from his pocket and said, "Do it beautifully."
"Brother Zhang, you make it sound easy, but if you poison me, I will have no chance of survival.
"If the students cause trouble, Fu Zuoyi and Chen Changjie will definitely use me to pay for their lives." The fat cook said with an uneasy look on his face.
“Eating takes time, too. It’s enough time for you to escape.
"Take it."
Zhang Zheng took out a dozen silver dollars, and as soon as he loosened his grip, they fell to the ground with a clang.
then.
He took out a small shoe, showed it to me, and laughed dryly with a hideous smile.
"Brother Zhang, you, you touched my family?" The fat chef's face lost all color and he said in a trembling voice.
“Do your job well.
"I won't be able to see Guo Shuwen's body later, so you can just wait to collect the bodies of your wife and children." Zhang Zheng sneered, his cold eyes revealing a bloodthirsty and sinister look like a wild beast.
"Shh."
The fat cook only felt a flash before his eyes, as if a breeze was passing by.
Zhang Zheng put his hands behind his back and left slowly.
The fat cook felt an itchy feeling on his neck for some unknown reason.
He reached out and touched his neck, which was covered in blood.
The fat cook looked at the thin figure and all the hairs on his body stood up.
He didn't even see how Zhang Zheng made his move.
If he was a little more ruthless, his life...
The fat cook knew that he had met a ruthless person, so he didn't dare to hesitate. He wiped the blood from his neck, quickly returned to the kitchen, and mixed the poison into one of the buckets of tofu soup.
Then, he called a few canteen waiters to come to the playground carrying steamed buns and tofu soup.
"dinner time."
When the fat cook shouted, the students stopped listening to Guo Shuwen's slogans and swarmed over.
Steamed buns and tofu soup were distributed.
The fat cook came to Guo Shuwen and his companions, carrying half a bucket of soup and a few steamed buns.
"That's all the food left. If you miss this opportunity, you won't be able to find this restaurant again. Eat quickly," he said.
"Thank you, Uncle Fat."
Guo Shuwen was really hungry, so a few of them quickly took the steamed buns and started eating them with the little tofu soup they had.
"Delicious."
The fat cook saw with his own eyes that these people had eaten, then he left the playground calmly and hurried home in a hurry.
When I got home, the door was ajar.
The fat cook had a bad feeling in his heart and rushed in quickly.
His wife and eight-month-old child had already fallen in a pool of blood.
"Son of a bitch..."
He stood up before he could roar or curse.
A cold light flashed before my eyes.
The next second, his throat felt cold and the sound turned into an indistinct whimper.
Blood spurted out wildly.
Zhang Zheng appeared in front of him like a ghost.
That sallow, narrow horse face was eerie and extremely cold.
puff.
The fat cook fell to the ground.
Zhang Zheng waved his fingers, hid the knife in his long sleeves, closed the door and walked out.
……
The next morning.
The streets of Jinhai.
"Selling newspapers, selling newspapers, Guo Shuwen and seven other exiled Northeastern university students were poisoned to death.
"Selling newspapers, selling newspapers..."
The newsboy yelled at the top of his lungs.
Hong Zhiyou stopped the car, took out a silver dollar and shouted, "Give me one."
When the newsboy was about to count out the French currency from the basket beside him for change, Hong Zhiyou raised his hand to stop him:
"keep the change."
"Thank you, sir." The newsboy thanked him repeatedly.
Hong Zhiyou took a quick look and couldn't help but frowned.
It is obvious that someone wants to mess up Jinhai.
The Secret Service is probably going to be busy.
Arrived at the station.
As soon as I entered the office, Li Ya, Yu Zecheng and Mi Zhiguo were already standing in the corner as punishment.
"what happened?
"Li Ya, and you, didn't you say that you have a hidden connection in the student group?
"Such an important matter, why didn't we hear any news beforehand?
"The one who died was a leading figure among the exiled students.
"Nankai University is in chaos right now. Just wait and see. The streets of Jinhai City will be filled with demonstrations again."
Wu Jingzhong pointed at Li Ya and Mi Zhiguo and shouted angrily.
"Stationmaster, this is not my fault.
“My secret contacts were wiped out by Lu Qiaoshan before. The new recruits are unreliable, unable to endure hardships, and unable to infiltrate the Northeast student groups.
"Besides, poisoning is hard to prevent. What happened in the kitchen should be borne by the president of Nankai University."
Li Ya raised his eyebrows and said.
"I don't care who takes the blame." This is not something you should say as a captain of an operation. Investigate immediately. I need a clear result of the investigation.
“Chen Changjie asked me for the murderer.
“I just want someone from you.
"You have to catch him for me within three days at most."
Wu Jingzhong pointed at Li Ya and Mi Zhiguo.
"Yes, Stationmaster." Mi Zhiguo quickly accepted the order.
"Okay, I'll try. It can be basically confirmed that the suspect of poisoning is Li Erbao from the kitchen. I'll go to his house to get him now." After Li Ya finished speaking, he walked out.
"You guys sit down."
After Li Ya walked away, Wu Jingzhong raised his hand and said.
“Zhiguo, you have just taken over the Intelligence Department. This is a crisis but also an opportunity. You must seize it.
“I just received a call from Bai Shiwei.
"Li Erbao's entire family was killed. It's obvious that someone is behind this, organizing and planning to mess up Jinhai."
Wu Jingzhong made an experienced analysis.
"Could it be a red ticket?" Mi Zhiguo asked.
Wu Jingzhong rolled his eyes at him and said, "Stupid!
"Red tickets follow the rules. First of all, these students in Northeast China are inclined towards them in terms of public opinion. Guo Shuwen's death is also a heavy blow to them.
"Besides, they wouldn't do such a despicable thing as killing an entire family.
"This is obviously directed at me."
"Teacher, please explain clearly." Hong Zhiyou handed him tea.
Wu Jingzhong held it in his hand, took two sips and said:
“Students making trouble, is that fun?
"Chen Jicheng of the Beiping Garrison Command was a thorn planted by the Chairman next to Fu Zuoyi. It was because his youth soldiers shot students that Fu Zuoyi was forced to leave Beiping with the help of public opinion.
“Look at other newspapers.
“It is suspected that a secret service agent poisoned me… Doesn’t this mean that it was me, Wu, who did it?
"If they can get rid of Chen Jicheng, they can get rid of me.
"I even suspect that this was done by Li Ya."
"Someone once saw Li Ya meeting privately with Wei Jin from the Party Communications Bureau. Moreover, once Lu Qiaoshan left, he was the only colonel left, so it was possible for him to get promoted." Yu Zecheng nodded.
"Mi Zhiguo, a new official has three things to do when he takes office. I want you to mobilize all the resources of the Intelligence Department to investigate this group of people as soon as possible and find the murderer before Li Ya does." Wu Jingzhong pointed at Mi Zhiguo and gave solemn instructions.
He didn't want to waste resources and opportunities on a loser.
If Mi Zhiguo is really a hopeless case.
There's no need to be merciful, just go and do the errands.
"Yes, Stationmaster." Mi Zhiguo accepted the order respectfully.
"You, should also think about it and go talk to the police station and the security command. You must be on guard against students causing trouble. We must have an emergency plan." Wu Jingzhong instructed Yu Zecheng.
"I understand." Yu Zecheng nodded.
After he and Mi Zhiguo left, Wu Jingzhong sat down on the sofa:
"Zhiyou, who do you think did it?"
"That depends on who it benefits the most." Hong Zhiyou said after thinking for a while.
“The water is a bit murky right now, and a lot of things have yet to surface.
“But certainly, it’s bad for you, it’s bad for the red ticket.
"The worst off may be Chen Changjie or Zheng Tingfeng."
Hong Zhiyou analyzed.
"What do you mean?" Wu Jingzhong asked with narrowed eyes.
"You know, Chen Jicheng was the chairman's confidant and he was driven out of Peking by Fu Zuoyi, the chairman must be upset.
"Now we should 'give someone a taste of their own medicine'. If someone takes advantage of the students' unrest to create another bloodbath in Jinhai, then Chen Changjie will most likely be blamed and replaced by someone else.
"At present, the internal fighting among the high-level factions of the Nationalist government has reached a fever pitch. He Yingqin has lost power, Chen Cheng is at the peak of his power, and Bai Chongxi is eyeing the situation covetously.
"It is entirely possible that if someone makes some moves at this time, a general from the central army could replace Chen Changjie.
“That’s why Chief Chen was nervous and angry.
"Once Chen Changjie is replaced, Fu Zuoyi's food and fodder lifeline will be cut off.
“The chairman is also happy to see it.
"I have to say, this move is really cruel and can kill and injure many people."
Hong Zhi has the Tao.
"Yes.
"I am in a dilemma now. If I don't handle the student issue well and kill Chen Changjie, Fu Zuoyi will definitely think it was me who did it.
"After all, Jinhai is under his watch. If he calls me to the Beiping headquarters one day and causes a car accident or poisons me, I will die without a burial place.
"If Chen Changjie doesn't take the blame, then I will be blamed.
"Losing this chair is a minor matter. If there is a trial, I, an old man, will have to sit in jail like Lu Qiaoshan. That would be truly unfair."
Wu Jingzhong also looked worried.
"From this perspective, I think the biggest possibility is that there is a traitor in the Security Command.
“Commander Chen reshuffled the team earlier and supported Deputy Chief of Staff Lin Yuan to establish the Jinhai Guard Brigade.
"Since the 62nd and 94th Armies have been transferred to the Bac Ninh Line, Commander Chen now has the support of the Guard Brigade, the full support of Du Jianshi, and the assistance of Fu Zuoyi.
“He now truly controls the military and political power of Jinhai.
“This is a huge blow to the original staff system.
“According to reports from my spies in the inspection team, Chief of Staff Huang Yunxian has made several statements of dissatisfaction since being marginalized.
"Is it possible that someone from the General Staff Department took this opportunity to get rid of Chief Chen?"
Hong Zhiyou analyzed.
"Well, what you said is very likely.
"Huang Yunxian is from the Whampoa Military Academy and has always been a thorn in the side. Now that Commander Chen is about to step down, he is very likely to take over and reap the benefits." Wu Jingzhong nodded.
"So, teacher, the most important thing for you right now is to have a long talk with Officer Chen and explain the interests involved clearly to avoid misunderstandings between the two of you.
“After all, ‘when you live under someone’s roof, you have to bow your head.’
"It's better to make it clear."
Hong Zhi has the Tao.
"Ok.
“As long as the opponent continues to attack, there will definitely be flaws.
"You should pay more attention. I'll go talk to Chen Changjie." Wu Jingzhong said.
As soon as Hong Zhiyou returned to the office and sat down, Mi Zhiguo led Li Dong from the police station in.
"Secretary Hong, Inspector Li said he has intelligence to report." Mi Zhiguo said.
"Li Dong, is there something?" As they were all old acquaintances, Hong Zhiyou gestured for them to take a seat.
"Secretary Hong.
"The autopsy results of Li Erbao and Guo Shuwen are out.
"The poison in Guo Shuwen's mouth was extracted from a Southeast Asian plant. It is very rare here. Perhaps you can inquire about it through the military elders in Southeast Asia.
"The blade of Li Erbao's knife was very sharp, and it was initially determined that the murderer was very good at using weapons such as short blades and thin knives.
"Li Erbao's wife and children died in the same way.
“The blade is fast and smooth.
"From poisoning Guo Shuwen to silencing him, the other party is most likely an organized group of thugs.
"You and Stationmaster Wu should be careful."
Li Dong announced the investigation results truthfully.
"Thanks.
"Thank you for your hard work." Hong Zhiyou opened the drawer, took out an envelope of silver dollars and handed it over.
"Secretary Hong, I am where I am today thanks to you. This is part of my job, and you must not ask me to do anything else." Li Dong quickly refused.
“Take it.
“This is the only good thing on the market right now.
“You have to eat and support your family, too.
"Here, you're welcome, brother."
Hong Zhiyou stuffed it into his pocket.
"Okay, thank you." Li Dong was very grateful.
“Zhiguo, send someone to follow the clues with Li Dong. Since the other party has had contact with Li Erbao, there must be witnesses.
“We went to alleys, schools, and cafeterias to find people to check the situation.
"Try to find this person if you can."
Hong Zhiyou ordered.
"Yes." The two of them accepted the order respectfully.
After the two left, Hong Zhiyou leaned back on the sofa and began to analyze with a frown.
It's not that simple.
Just like when Kong Lingwei was behind the scenes, he inexplicably felt like a thorn in his side.
But he just couldn't figure it out for a while.
It seems that the only way to find the flaw is to wait for the opponent to make a move.
……
the following few days.
The deaths of Guo Shuwen and several students were completely exposed.
The students carried their bodies and began to parade in the streets, and Jinhai became lively again.
Kunlun Road.
Huang Yunxian, who was slightly plump, sat on the sofa and smoked a cigar.
Zhang Shaojie was chatting with them on the side.
"Shaojie, you did a great job. My people reported that Chen Changjie didn't sleep all night last night and seemed to be panicking.
“The next step is for your people to pretend to be the security brigade and start firing.
"Lure Lu Qiaoshan back and kill him until a river of blood flows.
"Chen Changjie can forget about keeping his position."
Huang Yunxian exhaled a puff of smoke and laughed in a deep voice.
“It was also Uncle Shi who was willing to give me a chance.
"Don't worry, as long as we get rid of Chen Changjie, you will take the position of commander of the security command, Lu Qiaoshan will be in charge of the Security Bureau, and Jinhai will be ours." Zhang Shaojie said confidently.
"Ok.
“It seems like your time in Southeast Asia was not in vain.
"Don't worry, as long as I take that position, I will help you recover the Cao Gang as soon as possible. From now on, you will be responsible for all the supplies and weapons in Jinhai."
Huang Yun first started to paint a big picture.
"Thank you, Uncle Shi. Wait for my good news tomorrow." Zhang Shaojie said.
……
The next day.
Students began to march and demonstrate again, especially the exiled students in Northeast China, who were extremely excited. Led by students secretly bribed by Zhang Shaojie, they began to attack the security headquarters, demanding Chen Changjie to seek justice.
At first, Chen Changjie and Du Jianshi tried to persuade them in a kind way.
However, under the instigation of people with ulterior motives, the students became more and more agitated and constantly attacked the municipal government, the Bureau of Security, etc.
Chen Changjie had to mobilize the security brigade responsible for city defense to maintain order and public security.
A long standoff.
Nankai University, Beiyang University and other universities were closed again, and the food for the exiled students was interrupted.
3pm.
The hungry and angry students changed direction and swarmed towards the grain market. With the addition of hungry people along the way, the original team grew to several thousand people.
Instigated by refugees and ruffians, these people began to loot the granary.
The conflict between the soldiers under martial law and the starving civilians, thugs and students has reached a fever pitch.
"That's enough, let them do it."
In the building far away, Zhang Shaojie sneered and waved his hand.
Immediately, one of his men took out a pot of flowers and placed it on the windowsill.
Several killers in military uniforms hiding in the security brigade understood each other at the same time. They took advantage of being pushed by students and accidentally fired their submachine guns, causing flames to burst out.
Immediately, some students fell in a pool of blood.
"Shooting! Soldiers are killing people."
Another group of people hiding in the crowd wanted to watch the fun and started shouting to create panic.
"Don't be afraid, we have more people and we can rush them. There is food inside!"
someone shouted.
The hungry people pushed the students in the front row towards the soldiers.
Under heavy pressure.
The people Zhang Shaojie arranged on the other side opened fire again.
Once the gunfire started, the situation deteriorated drastically.
Opinion from newspapers and other sources spread across the country like snowflakes.
Many cities, such as Jinan, have erupted in demonstrations in response.
……
Jingling, prison.
"Lu Qiaoshan, come out." The jailer walked to the door and shouted.
Lu Qiaoshan put down the newspaper in his hand and a smile appeared on his face.
He knew his chance had come.
