Chapter 305 He has changed
Lu Qiaoshan was released from prison.
Bathing and hair dyeing.
Lu Qiaoshan, dressed in a suit and tie, met Zheng Jieming, whom he had not seen for a long time, in the office of the Deputy Minister of Defense.
“Qiaoshan, come and sit down.
"Ah, you've suffered a lot after being locked up for so long."
Zheng Jieming greeted him kindly and gently.
"I dare not. I am not talented enough and I have failed the deputy minister's trust." Lu Qiaoshan said respectfully.
"Gui Fen came to me after you got into trouble.
"I have been actively working on your behalf these days, but Mao Renfeng made a fuss out of nothing and insisted on using you as a scapegoat.
"You were originally scheduled to be tried next month, and the higher-ups are planning to execute you as an example.
"I went to the chairman of the committee many times to ask for your contribution, and he finally agreed, and only then did he rescue you from hell.
"Qiaoshan, I used all my strength to protect you."
Zheng Jieming said with a look of emotion.
He also didn't expect that Lu Qiaoshan could still come out of the ghost gate.
Moreover, the order was given by Yu Jishi himself.
In this case, this favor naturally falls on me.
Lu Qiaoshan's eyes turned red and he bowed 90 degrees: "Qiaoshan thanks the Deputy Minister for saving my life, and I will repay him with my own death."
"Qiaoshan, how is your health? Are you still able to bear it?" Zheng Jieming asked with a smile.
"I can handle it. I also exercise every day in prison. Look how strong and energetic I am." Lu Qiaoshan shook his hands and feet and laughed out loud.
"Ok.
"It's good that you have this spirit. Have you heard about what happened in Jinhai?" Zheng Jieming nodded and asked.
"What's the matter?" Lu Qiaoshan pretended to be confused.
"The students are making trouble again. Several students are suspected to have been poisoned by the Bureau of Secrets. Chen Changjie's security brigade also opened fire.
“You have experience in dealing with students.
"I plan to transfer you back to quell the student crisis. What do you think?"
Zheng Jieming said.
"Don't worry, Deputy Minister, Qiaoshan will definitely complete the task." Lu Qiaoshan quickly stood at attention and saluted.
“Go for it boldly. If the sky falls, I will hold it up for you.
“There’s something else you need to know.
"Chen Jicheng left Peking, and Fu Zuoyi is now extremely powerful. The Chairman is worried.
"You went to Jinhai and made some more noise.
"I want to embarrass Chen Changjie. Do you understand what I mean?"
Zheng Jiemin ordered.
"I understand." Lu Qiaoshan nodded.
"Ok.
"Go."
Zheng Jieming originally wanted to mention the business in Jinhai, but then he thought that Lu Qiaoshan was not the right person for the job and Hong Zhiyou was involved with Kirk, so he gave up the idea of making money.
……
Jinhai Station.
Wu Jingzhong is playing with a snuff bottle.
Li Ya hurried into the stationmaster's office:
"Teacher, Lu Qiaoshan is back. He is the inspector from the Second Department stationed at the Security Command Headquarters, and he is here specifically to suppress the demonstration.
“I heard that just after arriving today, several officers who failed to suppress the situation were dealt with.
"The thunderous means are very powerful."
"Yes, it's a thunderous method, and it came back with the imperial sword.
"However, he is targeting students. He will just go back after making a fuss. It won't cause any trouble."
Wu Jingzhong looked relaxed, without any sign of nervousness.
"teacher.
"In my opinion, the targeting of students is false, he is coming for our secret service.
"Last night, he had Xiao Yunxian and Tang Dachun arrested.
"There are also a number of disbanded members of the Bureau of Secrets who were laid off in the past."
Li Ya frowned and said.
"So what?" Wu Jingzhong raised his eyebrows and looked at him.
"Those scattered soldiers had followed me and participated in intercepting Fu Zuoyi's military supplies in Baoding.
“There is also Xiao Yunxian and the owner of the opera troupe.
“When Yuan Peilin was hidden, the troupe owner knew about it.
“Also, I used Xiao Yunxian’s brother to cover for Yuan Peilin in the firewood room.
"If these people were to falsely testify against me, Yuan Peilin's death would be firmly pinned on me.
"Especially that Tang Dachun.
"He was originally a sharp weapon in my hands, a liaison with the inside line in Yancheng. If this person continues to talk nonsense, I will never be able to clear myself even if I jump into the Yellow River."
Li Ya said depressedly.
"Look at all the stupid things you've done, are you panicking now?
"There is an inside contact in Yancheng, why isn't he reporting it?"
Wu Jingzhong slammed the table and pointed at him.
"Teacher, I..." Li Ya was speechless.
“I think you’re doomed.
"Think carefully about how to pass this level." Wu Jingzhong said coldly.
The last time Li Ya complained to Fu Zuoyi, Lu Qiaoshan was imprisoned for almost half a year. No one could tolerate this humiliation, and this time Li Ya would probably be skinned alive.
Li Ya frowned, feeling a little nervous.
After the Three Youth League was banned, Jianfeng never gave him any instructions again.
In some ways, he has become a discarded pawn.
Without Jianfeng's protection and with a pile of "evidence", Lu Qiaoshan would have to kill him.
"This damn guy, he was at the gate of hell, but he still escaped.
"Heaven wants to kill me."
Li Ya said hatefully.
"Is it the sky?"
Wu Jingzhong's heart skipped a beat.
First, Li Erbao was poisoned and silenced, and then someone used public opinion to replace him and Chen Changjie, and Lu Qiaoshan happened to come back.
It all seemed too coincidental.
No, this is most likely an elaborate trap.
"teacher.
“I also heard that Lu Qiaoshan arrested Mu Liancheng’s former housekeeper Pang Qing… and also called Mu Wanqiu in for questioning.
"I'm afraid he's not only targeting me, but you as well."
Li Ya raised his eyebrows and looked at Wu Jingzhong, speaking slowly.
"Is this true?" Wu Jingzhong's eyes widened and he asked sternly.
“It’s absolutely true.
"If you don't believe me, ask Zhiyou. Isn't he close to Mu Wanqiu?
"The man surnamed Lu is now like a mad dog, biting whoever he catches.
"Teacher, if we don't fight back, the Bureau of Secrets will probably be wiped out by him."
Li Ya said with a sneer on his face.
"Isn't it just about that traitorous dog Mu Liancheng?
"Send someone to keep an eye on him first."
Wu Jingzhong smiled indifferently.
"Go and get Secretary Hong for me," he said again.
"Secretary Hong is not in the office." Li Ya said.
"Yeah." Wu Jingzhong waved his hand.
……
Security Command, Inspection Team Office.
Lu Qiaoshan was working with his head down, and a thick stack of materials was piled on his desk.
cough cough.
Suddenly, he felt a sharp pain in his chest and couldn't help coughing.
Lu Qiaoshan felt a fishy and sweet taste in his throat. He covered his mouth with a handkerchief and waited until his coughing stopped. Looking at the large stain of blood on the handkerchief, his pale face became even gloomier.
Ever since the first time he was recorded by Li Ya and his position as deputy webmaster and future career were ruined, he has been holding back his anger and his body has broken down.
Then to Peking.
Then he lost Qian Siming and was reported by Li Ya and put in jail.
He was defeated by the villain Li Ya three times.
In addition, he suffered the successive blows of having his family property emptied by Lin Sufang and the pain of losing his son.
Lu Qiaoshan's health had collapsed long ago.
Especially in the past six months in prison, I have suffered from sleepless nights, lack of nutrition, and no medical care. My various illnesses have worsened, and I have long been at the end of my rope.
This time I came to Jinhai.
He was determined to fight with his last breath and make one last attempt.
If he could send Li Ya, Wu Jingzhong and Yu Zecheng to the guillotine to avenge his son and fulfill his dream of becoming a webmaster, he would die without regrets.
"Inspector Lu, Hong Zhiyou from the Security Bureau is here. Do you want to meet him or not?" Peng Chengtao walked in, looking much more respectful than before.
He is not stupid.
In the past, Lao Lu came here to get promoted and make money.
This time he came back with the imperial sword to kill people.
Anyone who crosses his brow will seek his own death.
“Hong Zhi has?
"How did the interrogation of Miss Mu go?" Lu Qiaoshan asked in a deep voice.
"She admitted that Stationmaster Wu and Mu Liancheng had contact, but she was not sure whether bribes were given or gifts were given," said Peng Chengtao.
"I understand. You go down first. Don't let the person go in a hurry. I still have to go to her room in person. Let him in." Lu Qiaoshan thought for a while and said.
Hong Zhiyou walked in and laughed loudly:
"Brother Shan, long time no see.
"I knew that you were rich and powerful, and that you would be able to turn misfortune into fortune. Now you have come back with a promotion."
"Brother, sit down." Lu Qiaoshan stood up and led him to the sofa.
"Oh, ups and downs, ups and downs.
"I can't say I'll be promoted, but I'll have to kill a few people without shedding blood. I'm so sorry for the kindness of the chairman.
“To be honest, you’re the only one in Jinhai who has some humanity.
"During the time I was in prison, your sister-in-law has been helped a lot by you. Thank you."
He raised his hand and poured good tea for Hong Zhiyou.
"Oh, I'm ashamed to say that.
"It worked fine in Jinhai, but it really didn't work in Jingling. My sister-in-law looked for me and she also looked for someone else at that time... Brother Shan, you are a lucky person."
Hong Zhi sighed with a guilty look on his face.
"That's thoughtful. I appreciate it, brother." Lu Qiaoshan patted him on the shoulder.
Since he is in prison, he still knows who is really moving and who is pretending to move outside.
“Why don’t you go to the Secret Service when you come back this time?
"The offices on the third floor are reserved for you. We can go there and have a cup of coffee and chat when we have nothing to do." Hong Zhiyou said.
"Secret Bureau?"
Lu Qiaoshan, who was originally smiling, suddenly pointed at Hong Zhiyou in a gloomy and serious tone:
“Except for you, there is no good person in that place.
“I won’t say anything about Li Ya, he must die.
"As for the stationmaster, his Tai Chi skills aren't that great. Let me tell you, for the sake of our past relationship, it would be best if he resigned on his own initiative and saved his dignity.
"Otherwise, it's hard to say." "As for Yu Zecheng, hehe..."
Lu Qiaoshan laughed dryly.
“No, Lao Lu, aren’t you here to deal with the students?
"Why is the blade pointing towards you?"
Hong Zhiyou frowned.
"My dear brother, don't you feel guilty when you say this?
“You have become rich, and are enjoying a comfortable life.
"As for me, my son is dead, and most of my life's wealth has gone to waste. Don't you know what you did during this period?"
Lu Qiaoshan knocked on the table and said sternly.
“I tell you, dealing with students is a side job.
“It’s mainly about dealing with corruption and collusion with red tickets at Jinhai Station.
“They have to be cleaned up one by one.
"This is the Ministry of National Defense, and also the Military Affairs Bureau's idea. Once they have the evidence, they will be arrested and tried. The people in Shuitun Prison will be fed with cockroaches.
"Just now... I talked to Chen Changjie. He must behave himself."
He waved his finger, his tone becoming more majestic and arrogant.
"I understand. Brother Shan, you are the real imperial envoy this time." Hong Zhi nodded.
"Is there something wrong?" Lu Qiaoshan leaned on the sofa and looked at him with a smile.
"Wanqiu's old maid said that she was summoned by your people.
“Brother Shan.
"We are family. Wanqiu has been ill recently. Please give me a favor and let me take her back." Hong Zhiyou said with a smile.
As he spoke, he handed over a bundle of US dollars.
"Brother, I won't play tricks this time." Lu Qiaoshan smiled and actually pushed the money back.
With my current body, money is of little use.
In the past, I was shackled to death by this thing. Now that I can finally let go, I can't be bound again.
"The current situation is turbulent, and my sister-in-law's daily necessities must be paid for."
Hong Zhiyou added another small stack of US dollars.
"Don't worry about this, brother." Lu Qiaoshan remained unmoved.
The son is dead.
I don’t have much time left.
His parents only have a few years left, and he doesn't expect Guifen to remain a widow.
In that case, why leave the money for her? It will only benefit the person who takes over.
"All right.
"Wanqiu's matter..." Hong Zhiyou said.
"I told you, we are brothers.
"You still have to give me this favor. Follow me."
Lu Qiaoshan stood up and went to the interrogation room.
Inside, Wanqiu sat on the electric chair, shivering and wiping her tears with a silk scarf:
"Sir, I am just a little girl. How could you possibly tell me what happened between my uncle and Stationmaster Wu?
“I was seriously ill at the time, but my uncle left me without even saying goodbye.
"What do you think I know?"
"You..." Peng Chengtao was about to ask a question when Lu Qiaoshan walked in.
"Old Peng, you go down first." Lu Qiaoshan ordered.
"Zhiyou." Wanqiu was overjoyed when she saw Hong Zhiyou.
"Don't be afraid." Hong Zhiyou smiled slightly.
“Ms. Wanqiu.
"Let me ask you a few questions.
"Stationmaster Wu and your uncle..."
Just as Lu Qiaoshan opened his mouth, Wanqiu said, "Inspector Lu, I, I really don't know what happened between them."
Lu Qiaoshan smiled gently, picked up a small recorder and pressed it: “Don’t be afraid.
“I don’t ask about the transactions between them.
“How many times have they met?
"Where did you meet?"
"Wanqiu, answer truthfully." Hong Zhiyou reminded lightly.
"I know, I've seen it three times.
“The first time was at my house.
"The second time was at Donghai Tea House. My uncle asked me to go to eat with him, but I didn't go.
“The third time was also at home, and they had a meeting on the rooftop.
"I don't know what we talked about specifically."
Wanqiu told the truth.
"very good.
"During the military mediation, did your uncle meet Wu Jingzhong?" Lu Qiaoshan asked.
"I can't remember." Wanqiu said.
"Don't be anxious, think about it slowly, I believe you can figure it out." Lu Qiaoshan said.
Wanqiu glanced at Hong Zhiyou.
The latter nodded slightly.
"I remember that I saw it once.
“My uncle was a classmate of Deng Ming, the then director of military mediation.
“He met with Deng Ming.
"It was probably the day before he met General Deng that Stationmaster Wu came to see my uncle."
Wanqiu thought for a moment and said.
"Are you sure?" Lu Qiaoshan was overjoyed.
"Sure." Wanqiu nodded.
"Snapped!"
Lu Qiaoshan stopped recording, nodded, smiled sinisterly and whispered: "So that's how it is, I was talking about the list of people in the Merchants' Association, why did Hong Piao know it so clearly.
"Magui's death was really unjust."
"Miss Wanqiu, you can leave now." Lu Qiaoshan said.
"Thank you, Director Lu." Wanqiu bowed.
"Why are you being so polite? We are family, just asking a routine question.
"We may need you later, so please cooperate." Lu Qiaoshan said with a smile.
"Okay." Wanqiu nodded.
"Brother Shan, thanks. How about we get together at Hongfu Teahouse tonight? Since you are coming, I have to entertain you." Hong Zhiyou said.
"no no.
"I'm old and can't get used to greasy food, so I just have my working meals at the Security Command Headquarters." Lu Qiaoshan said.
"Brother Shan, do you live here too?
"I have a quiet old house on Taishan Road, why don't you move in first?"
Hong Zhiyou asked tentatively.
"Your sister-in-law is in Jingling. It's fine for me to live in the guest room alone. Don't worry about it." Lu Qiaoshan still refused with a smile.
"Okay." Hong Zhiyou said.
"By the way, go back and tell Li Ya to prepare a few more sets of thicker clothes." Lu Qiaoshan ordered.
"What do you mean?" Hong Zhi didn't understand.
"You'll know when the time comes." Lu Qiaoshan said.
"Okay, I'll wait and see."
Hong Zhiyou took Wanqiu out.
From a distance, he heard Lu Qiaoshan giving orders to Peng Chengtao: "From the moment they attacked the grain store, they were bandits and robbers. No need to waste words, just kill them."
……
"He, is he going to attack the students?" Wanqiu said after returning home.
"yes.
“Landbridge Hill has changed.
"I don't want money or house. I'm back to play with my life."
Wanqiu also looked puzzled: "Yes, in the past, Lu Qiaoshan only wanted to get promoted and make money.
"Logically speaking, if the chairman really gave him the privilege, given his personality, he should have made as much money as possible, done a good job, and sought a promotion.
"And he feels very different this time."
"Why is it different?" Hong Zhiyou asked.
“It’s very peaceful.
"It's like seeing through the hustle and bustle of the world. At the same time, it makes people feel terrified, a terrified feeling from the depths of the soul."
Wanqiu analyzed from a woman's unique perspective.
“You’re right, he’s becoming more and more terrifying.
“Everything in the world, except birth and death, is dust.
"Maybe……"
Hong Zhiyou thought about it, got up, walked to the phone, and dialed a number:
"Hello, sister-in-law, it's me, Zhiyou.
"Why didn't you come with your brother? As soon as I heard the news, I prepared a house for you.
“Yes, I met Brother Shan today, he looked very bad and kept coughing.
"You said that Jinhai is in such a mess right now, and Brother Shan just got out of prison. How can he survive without a good place to live, nutritious food, and no one to take care of him?
"I was thinking of arranging one for him, but he didn't want it."
……
"Oh, that's it.
"That's indeed a troublesome matter. I know someone at St. Mary's Hospital in Hong Kong Island. How about finding a time to ask the foreign doctor there to take a look?
"All right.
"Don't be too sad, I will try my best to persuade Brother Shan.
"I won't disturb your rest. Goodbye."
hang up the phone.
Hong Zhiyou looked at Wanqiu and said, "Lu Qiaoshan suffers from severe heart disease and tuberculosis. He has had several heart attacks. According to Li Guifen, he almost died in prison.
"Or maybe that's why he's indifferent to everything and only wants revenge."
"Yes. If a person is not afraid of death, what else would he be afraid of? Zhiyou, he won't find out about you, will he?" Wanqiu said worriedly.
“It’s entirely possible.
"When he investigates the stationmaster, he is actually investigating me. Once Old Wu falls, I will not be able to escape harm." Hong Zhiyou replied with certainty.
"Then, that's my answer today." Wanqiu was surprised.
"It doesn't matter.
"These are all small matters. The webmaster is prepared for this." Hong Zhiyou hugged her and comforted her softly.
Wanqiu is sick.
There is no elegance tonight.
Hong Zhiyou held her in his arms like a cat and fell asleep.
Just closed my eyes and was about to fall into a dream.
BIU.
BIU.
Da da!
Gunshots rang out in the city.
"Zhiyou, it seems like Xiaohui is in danger at Beiyang University? Find someone to contact her quickly, and be careful not to be targeted by Lu Qiaoshan." Wanqiu was also awakened and said worriedly.
