Chapter 298 Bad News from Bian Bao
"It's Tongyuan Bookstore again. What happened to him?" Wu Jingzhong asked.
“This man has been to the coffin shop.
“I took the photo and asked the neighbors near the coffin shop, and some people had seen him at night.
"It was probably a few days before Qian Siming's funeral."
Li Ya said.
“Is it possible that a relative of his passed away and it just happened to happen?
“I heard that many families of death row inmates in Shuitun Prison have ordered coffins there.
"According to your theory, there will be many people to investigate.
"I'm afraid that our Secret Service will not be able to handle the situation with the limited manpower we have."
Wu Jingzhong said with a smile.
He knew that Li Ya had suspected Yu Zecheng again.
This is really upsetting.
In this high-pressure environment, the father and son, Chairman Wei and Jianfeng, were furious. The reason they went to Shanghai Station was because the deputy station chief Li Shiyu was found to be a red ticket, which brought disaster to a large number of people.
At this time, Yu Zecheng was about to explode.
Not to mention that after he had made achievements, he would go south to continue to take charge of the important places.
Who knows, all the trivial matters may be blamed on him, and he may even lose his head.
In a word.
Yu Zecheng is now a time bomb, and it’s best if no one touches him.
If you touch it, someone will die.
"Then I will monitor and investigate first. If they are really red tickets, they won't be able to get away." Li Ya said.
"Well, go ahead." Wu Jingzhong nodded.
"Teacher, now that Lu Qiaoshan is in custody, shouldn't we put the position of deputy station chief on the agenda?" Li Ya asked with his hands in his pockets and raised his eyebrows.
"Yes, I'll call Director Mao some other day to ask for his opinion." Wu Jingzhong said, turning his head to the side to observe the antiques.
He was so annoyed.
Only a few months after Lu Qiaoshan left, Li Ya started to act up again.
Check the rest and you'll find the answer.
Be deputy webmaster.
Lu Qiaoshan even remembered to say hello for his hard work, but Li Ya didn't even pretend.
"Okay, I'll wait for your news." Li Ya didn't hear the hidden meaning and walked out with his hands in his pockets.
……
Beiping.
Ma Hansan walked around the warehouse with his hands behind his back.
“Be careful when carrying it.
"Have all the food supplies for Xuanwu Gate been prepared?"
he asked as he walked.
"Director Ma, we're all here." Someone answered immediately.
"Hey, Renchu.
"You don't know, this job is really not for humans.
“It’s what you should do if you do it well.
"If I don't do my job well, not only will my superiors blame me, but the common people will also poke at my spine and call me a beast.
“You said that the current legal tender is just like paper.
“I’ll collect it, but the central bank won’t acknowledge it.
"No, the common people have nothing to exchange. The little gold and silver they have has already been plundered and transported to the island."
Ma Hansan said with emotion to Wang Puchen who was supervising at the side.
"Thank you for your hard work, Director Ma." Wang Puchen still had a cigarette in his mouth and spoke sparingly with his words.
"You have been in Peking for several years.
“Others don’t know me, but you have to know me.
"Now Commander Li has gone to Jingling to serve as Vice President, Fu Zuoyi is guarding Beiping, and Chen Jicheng is keeping an eye on me all day long.
"I'm having a hard time."
Ma Hansandao.
Wang Puchen exhaled a puff of smoke and said, "He who is innocent will be innocent. Director Ma, there is no need to worry."
"Fu Zuoyi and He Siyuan kept asking for grain, and I, the director of the Civil Affairs Bureau, was really struggling to make ends meet.
"I plan to go to Jinhai to see if I can find some food."
Ma Hansandao.
"That's a good idea. I'm going to Jinhai to visit a friend, so why don't we go together?" Wang Puchen smiled faintly and said to him.
Ma Hansan's face tightened, his eyes half-closed with a cold light: "Renchu, is it such a coincidence? Is it so urgent?"
"In this situation, we have to live one day at a time.
"No, there might not be a chance next time.
"It's urgent."
Wang Puchen turned his head and said.
"Okay, let's go together.
"You came to Peking. We have been working together for such a long time. You are not an outsider." Ma Hansan patted him on the shoulder.
Wang Puchen smiled slightly, lowered his head and lit another cigarette.
……
Jinhai.
Hong Zhiyou took a few quick steps forward to greet:
"Director Ma, Director Wang, Secretary Liu, long time no see."
"Secretary Hong, long time no see.
"I came here to ask for food this time. Director Wang happened to come over to meet a friend. We are together. I won't disturb you."
Ma Hansan blinked and laughed heartily.
"do not bother.
"I am honored that you can come to Jinhai.
"The reception room is ready, please."
Hong Zhiyou smiled politely.
"No.
"Since you need food, you should go directly to the Marine Corps." Ma Hansan said.
"Renchu, do you want to go with us?" He turned and asked Wang Puchen.
"No.
"My friend has a house here, so I might as well stay there for a while, so as to avoid bothering Stationmaster Wu." Wang Puchen said politely.
"Well."
Ma Hansan shook his head, Hong Zhiyou helped Liu Yuzhu into the car, and went away together.
Wang Puchen stood there, smoking a cigarette leisurely.
He turned around and got into the car: "To the Military Police Headquarters."
……
"Brother, I'm in a bad situation right now."
In the car, Ma Hansan let out a sigh with a depressed look on his face.
"You are the Horse King, who dares to touch you?" Hong Zhiyou said with a smile.
"Things are different now. My three eyes are no longer sharp. Now anyone, human or ghost, dares to pounce on me and take a bite.
"Wang Puchen is going to stare at me to death.
"Well, if Commander Li was still in Peking, would he dare to jump?
"I shouldn't have gone to Jingling to canvass for votes. Now that Officer Li is gone, I've become a wandering ghost."
Ma Hansan sighed.
"What are your plans, brother?" Hong Zhiyou asked.
“Can’t wait any longer.
"The Chairman hates me to the core, and Fu Zuoyi doesn't like me, so I can't stay in Peking any longer.
"If I stay any longer, I might be killed.
"This may be my last chance, brother. Whether I can escape depends entirely on you.
"Can you arrange to take me to Hong Kong Island tonight?"
Ma Hansan asked in a deep voice.
"Brother, you are giving me a hard time.
"If you leave through Jinhai, everyone will know that it was me who did it."
Hong Zhi said with an embarrassed look on his face.
“I know you have the ability.
"You are different from me. In the past, the chairman needed me to be a dog in the middle in order to stabilize Li Zongren and Fu Zuoyi. Now that Commander Li is gone, I have become a useless person.
“They’re definitely going to use the knife on me.
“You are different. Right now the situation on the front line of the National Army is tight and we need your relationship with the U.S. Army.
“So, don’t say you let me go.
“Even if you blow up the Ministry of National Defense building, the chairman will pretend not to see it.
“I’ll go first.
“When I have established myself on Xiangdao Island, I will find a way to help you if you are in trouble.
"We are brothers, we have to help each other, don't you think?"
Ma Hansan patted Hong Zhiyou's hand and said.
"The risk is too great. Wang Puchen has even chased me to my doorstep." Hong Zhiyou still refused.
You have to be "real" when dealing with an old fox like Ma Hansan.
If I agree too quickly, he will definitely become suspicious.
Many things are actually difficult to handle.
"How about this, I don't have any money with me today. When we go to Hong Kong Island in the future, you can give me a bank account number there and I will transfer 30,000 US dollars to you.
"Well, this fare is good enough, isn't it?"
Ma Hansan knew that Hong Zhiyou loved money, so he directly put forward the conditions.
"Besides, if you don't give face to me, you have to give face to Yuzhu." He glanced at Liu Yuzhu, whose face was as rosy as a rose.
"Okay, okay!
"Who made you my brother?
"Well, I will discuss with Commander Welsh later to see if we can arrange a plane to take you to Qingdao tonight. It just so happens that two ships of the Seventh Fleet are going to visit Hong Kong Island.
“You will take a warship to Xiangdao when the time comes.
"Even if Mao Renfeng had a hundred guts, he wouldn't dare to check Kirk's ship."
Hong Zhiyou pondered for a moment and said.
"Very good.
"To be honest, my eyelids have been twitching these past two days. The sooner I leave, the better." Ma Hansan said happily.
Liu Yuzhu's eyes were also filled with joy.
Obviously, the pressure of following Ma Hansan these days is not small.
……
Gendarmerie Headquarters.
Wang Puchen was drinking tea with Fang Jie.
"Brother Fang, this is Director Mao's handwriting. You followed him in the past, so you should be able to recognize it." Wang Puchen took out the document written by Mao Renfeng from his arms and handed it to Fang Jie.
"Renchu, you and I are both Director Mao's men, so it's being polite to say that.
"Don't I trust you?"
He held the document up to the light and examined it carefully, then handed it back after making sure it was correct.
"Director Mao has instructed that he will secretly arrest Ma Hansan and Qiao Jiacai on July 7.
“I’ve been keeping a close eye on the Qiao family.
"Ma Hansan has Fu Zuoyi's military order to collect food. It is not convenient for me to control him openly. I can only rely on you here."
Wang Puchen coughed for a while and then continued.
"Don't worry, I will send people to block the dock and talk to the airport right now." Fang Jie said.
“It’s no use.
"He has established contact with Hong Zhiyou, and he may need to borrow a U.S. military plane or ship to escape.
"It needs to go through the Military Affairs Bureau or the Ministry of National Defense and get the approval of the chairman, which is very troublesome. Even if there is permission from above, the Americans may not buy it."
Wang Puchen said worriedly.
"This is indeed a troublesome matter. I have dealt with Wales before. How about negotiating with him?" Fang Jie said.
It's a dilemma.
the phone is ringing.
He stood up and answered, “It’s me.
"okay, I get it."
He frowned slightly, then looked at Wang Puchen: "Renchu, there is a cigarette seller on the street outside, do you want to buy a pack of cigarettes?"
Wang Puchen looked at him.
"I don't know who called. The other party didn't say his name." Fang Jie said.
“The enemy must be quite powerful to be able to attack you.
"Just right, I've run out of cigarettes, let me buy a pack."
Wang Puchen smiled, stood up and walked out.
Out on the street.
A little girl of eight or nine years old was holding a wooden frame and selling cigarettes. "Little girl, come here and give me a few packs of cigarettes." Wang Puchen didn't choose and directly took a few packs.
"Are you Uncle Wang?" the little girl asked.
"Yes." Wang Puchen nodded.
"Someone just asked me to give this to you." The little girl handed him a piece of paper.
Wang Puchen took it.
There is not a single word on the paper.
is blank.
His emotions were as stable as ever, and he folded the paper neatly and put it in his pocket.
Then, he took out a handful of silver dollars and stuffed them into the little girl's hand:
"Don't sell it. Go home and give the money to mom right away. Remember, don't show your money to others. Don't make it public."
He warned softly.
"Well, thank you uncle."
The little girl was overjoyed and left happily.
Wang Puchen returned to the gendarmerie headquarters.
"How is it?" Fang Jie asked.
Wang Puchen smiled and shook his head.
Fang Jie didn't ask any more questions.
After chatting for a while, Wang Puchen returned to the room, took a candle, lit it, and started roasting.
Soon a line of words appeared above.
He thought about it for a moment and then laughed.
Nine p.m.
A Marine Corps aircraft is ready.
Wales personally escorted Ma Hansan and Liu Yuzhu to the cabin:
"Director Ma, Miss Liu, Secretary Hong is not available to come, so I wish you all the best on his behalf."
Anderson translated.
"Thank you, Commander." Ma Hansan said gratefully.
"You're welcome. Bye."
Wales waved and walked off the plane.
As the cabin door closed.
Ma Hansan's anxious heart finally eased.
"Yuzhu, the world will be yours forever." As the plane disappeared into the clouds, Ma Hansan held Liu Yuzhu's hand and breathed a sigh of relief.
“Thanks to Secretary Hong.
"Once you get to Hong Kong Island, there won't be all these messes, and you can rest assured."
Liu Yuzhu leaned on his shoulder and spoke gently.
“I’ll get some sleep first.
"I haven't had a good night's sleep since Wang Puchen was watching me during this period."
Ma Hansandao.
Not long after I closed my eyes, the fuselage suddenly shook.
"What's going on?" Ma Hansan asked.
"Director Ma, there's a problem with the plane. We have to return the same way we came." The crew member came over and explained.
"return?
"No, is there no other way?" Ma Hansan was a little panicked.
"Director Ma, this is a plane, not a car." The crew member shook his head helplessly.
"All right.
"Ok."
Ma Hansan couldn't help but think of Dai Li and could only blame himself for his bad luck.
Return to the airport.
Wang Puchen and Fang Jie, leading a team of people, had already been waiting downstairs.
Ma Hansan looked down and his face suddenly turned pale.
"It's not that the plane has a problem, but someone has such great connections that he can pull it down even if it flies into the sky.
“Jade beads.
"I'm afraid we can't escape this disaster."
Ma Hansan sighed and tried several times before he stood up.
The two of them walked down slowly.
"Renchu, didn't you go to meet your friends?
"Why are you here?"
After all, Ma Hansan was not an ordinary person. He took a deep breath and regained his composure.
"Director Ma, have we finished collecting the grain? Now that we have, should we go back to Peiping?" Wang Pushen said.
"What if I say no?" Ma Hansan asked.
“I’m afraid I have to go back.
"This is a document just sent by the Ministry of National Defense. You are relieved of your post as Director of the Public Opinion Survey Bureau. You will have other arrangements when you return to Peking. Director Ma, please go ahead and don't make things difficult for me."
Wang Puchen took out a telegram from the Ministry of National Defense and showed it to him.
Ma Hansan stared at the document with his hands behind his back for a long time, then he let out a long sigh:
"All right.
"I'll go back to Peking with you, but can she stay?"
"Of course. The Ministry of National Defense just asked me to ask you to go back and arrange for another position. Miss Liu, please do as you please."
Wang Puchen glanced at Liu Yuzhu, his tone as calm as autumn water.
"Renchu, thank you." Ma Hansan nodded gratefully.
He turned to look at the frightened Liu Yuzhu and said:
"Yuzhu, it's dark and windy outside. You need to be careful in the future. Take care."
"Director Ma, take care." Liu Yuzhu said.
Ma Hansan turned around and got into Wang Puchen's car without looking back.
As soon as the convoy leaves.
Hong Zhiyou walked out slowly and stood in the shadows: "Ms. Liu."
Liu Yuzhu walked over and said, "Secretary Hong, you are here, why don't you protect Director Ma?"
“Sister, Lao Ma is gone, don’t act anymore.
“The baby in your belly is not Lao Ma’s, right?
“The money in Xiangdao is enough for you and your children to spend for a lifetime.
"You can get on the plane later."
Hong Zhiyou reached out and pinched her rosy cheek.
"Isn't this for you?
"Without this child, the first person Ma Hansan would have betrayed would be you." Liu Yuzhu chuckled.
“I am not afraid to confess.
“You also know that the person who really wanted Dai Li dead was Jianfeng.
“Without his instructions, nothing can be done.
"Besides, Dai Li is dead, and I still have to get money, food, and arms for Chiang Kai-shek and his son.
“So no one will believe anything Ma Hansan says.
"He is a smart man. If he betrays me, not only will the baby in your belly not be saved, but it will die faster."
Hong Zhiyou took out a cigarette and put it in his mouth, but the lighter was blown out by the wind as soon as he lit it.
He hit me several times in a row.
He looked up at the beautiful Liu Yuzhu.
Liu Yuzhu looked at him, then slowly lifted up her knee-length windbreaker to block the night wind.
Snapped!
Hong Zhiyou lit up the cigarette, raised his head and blew a puff of smoke gently on her face:
"Have a nice trip, sister."
"Thank you." Liu Yuzhu nodded.
Hong Zhiyou turned and left.
"Ms. Liu, the warship in Qingdao is still waiting, please get on the plane quickly." The crew member came over.
Liu Yuzhu looked at Hong Zhiyou's disappearing figure, a hint of gratitude appeared on the corner of her mouth, and she quickly got on the plane.
……
Hong Zhiyou got in the car and wanted to go to the club to ask Ji Qing to spend the night with him.
Just turned a street.
He saw Yu Zecheng's car parked in front.
"Beep."
When he saw him, Lao Yu honked the horn.
"Is there something wrong?" Hong Zhiyou asked.
"Old Xie said he got some intelligence and asked me to go to his house." Yu Zecheng said.
"Just go if you want to go, why are you looking for me?" Hong Zhi asked unhappily.
"I don't have any money in my pocket?
"It's good to have you as a guarantor, otherwise I might not be able to sell the stuff to me.
"Also, Old Xie said he bought a few pounds of good mutton, and he's waiting for us to eat it.
"Hurry up, let's go."
The rest will become the Tao.
"Okay, for the sake of the mutton." Hong Zhi closed the window, stepped on the accelerator and chased after Xie Ruolin's home.
Arrived at Xie’s house.
Xie Ruolin had already set up the copper pot, and the mutton, dipping sauce, and vegetables were already on the plates.
His complexion looked a little better, but still a little pale.
The beating and electric shock that Li Ya suffered damaged his vitality and it might take a year or two to recover.
"Old Xie, what a good day it is today that you have to treat us to a meal." Yu Zecheng sat down and asked with a smile.
“It’s just that we haven’t been together for a long time, and I want to have a drink with you guys.
"Well, to be honest, I still have mutton to eat and wine to drink, all thanks to you two.
“I caught the tail of black market intelligence and made a lot of money.
"Ever since we were robbed by Li Ya and Lu Qiaoshan, everyone in the black market is in danger and only dares to do business with acquaintances when exchanging intelligence.
"If you don't pay attention, someone might get in.
“Business is getting worse and worse.
"You two are welcome to do as you please."
He picked up a large piece of meat with chopsticks, dipped it in the sauce and started eating.
“Those people in the Ministry of Defense should have some ideas.
"After all, cutting off someone's financial resources is like killing his parents," Hong Zhiyou asked.
"Yes.
"There are rumors that someone wants to kill Li Ya and Lu Qiaoshan.
“Li Ya, don’t talk about it first.
"Lu Qiaoshan is still in custody for such a small matter. Why is he still in custody? Isn't it because someone wants to punish him?
"If it weren't for Zheng Jieming's reputation, he would have been killed in there long ago.
"Just wait and see. Don't even think about coming out for three to five years."
Xie Ruolin said.
"Not necessarily. I think Lu Qiaoshan will be out soon and he will fight his way back to Jinhai." Hong Zhiyou shook his head.
"Why?" Yu Zecheng put down his chopsticks, smoothed down his white shirt sleeves and asked.
"Because he dares to kill people." Hong Zhiyou said.
Once the three major battles begin in the next six months, the wave of struggle for peace in Tianjin and Haikou will inevitably rise, and demonstrations by students and workers will be everywhere.
And Lu Qiaoshan is exactly the sharp knife that the Chairman needs most to control public opinion.
"That makes sense." Xie Ruolin and Yu Zecheng looked at each other and nodded at the same time.
"Old Xie, didn't you say you had information to sell me?
"bring it on."
Yu Zecheng asked.
"Not urgent.
"Let's finish this meal first." Xie Ruolin said with a smile.
Yu Zecheng's heart suddenly sank.
Old Xie is afraid that this will affect his appetite, which is definitely not good news.
“You better say it.
"With his suspicious nature, he can't accept what you said." Hong Zhiyou said with a smile.
“Take a look.
"Han Jie'en dug up a lot of intelligence about Yancheng Ansai, and it has been scattered everywhere.
“I got this from the Party Communications Bureau headquarters.
"It's also what you care about most, Zuo Lan's information."
Xie Ruolin said.
"Didn't you say last time that the injured would be transferred to the Soviet Union?" Hong Zhiyou asked.
"That one has been confirmed to be fake news. This one should be relatively accurate." Xie Ruolin said.
"Regarding the death of Deng Ming, deputy director of the Social Security Office, in the line of duty..."
As Yu Zecheng muttered to himself, his heart tightened.
After reading it, he couldn't help but tremble all over.
The thing he was most worried about and afraid of finally happened.
……
