Chapter 322 Either Take It Away or Disappear
“Two things.
"First, when you're not around, no one takes care of our dad. With his personality, he has to have mutton soup, flatbread, and braised beef for every meal." Ruirui said as she walked in high heels.
Hong Zhi was ashamed.
Even when he was here, he would still go to halal restaurants with Old Wu every day.
“Secondly, didn’t you say that we should move to Xiangdao as soon as possible?
"I can neither cut off your female confidantes nor leave them alone and make you worry and work hard.
“So I had to rush back and get closer to them first.
"It's better to avoid that when the time comes, it won't be possible to transfer and some people will worry about it for the rest of their lives."
Wu Ruirui stopped and looked at him.
“Madam is generous.
"How are you getting along?" Hong Zhiyou asked with a flattering smile.
"not bad.
“The two sisters at Renji are good at doing business and have some tricks.
"Such smart and capable women like these can all enjoy wealth and glory, and our children can also provide for them in their old age.
“But only if they can’t have your children.
"Otherwise, there will be endless fighting in the future.
"I don't want to wait until you are old and fight to the death every day.
"Mu Wanqiu and Zhou Gendi are not cunning people, so they can consider having children.
“After all, when the industry becomes bigger in the future, someone will have to take over.
"Lele still needs some help from brothers and sisters."
Wu Ruirui had already made things very clear.
"That's exactly what I want." Hong Zhiyou agreed happily.
Polygamy in Hong Kong was abolished in 1971.
In other words, he can now legally marry Ruirui and other women.
Ruirui's plan was similar to what he thought.
The difference is that Hong Zhiyou only wanted to marry Ruirui and Wanqiu.
In other words, Wanqiu might start a new lineage.
As for other confidantes, Hong Zhiyou can only say that he will take good care of them for the rest of their lives.
"Our Hong Island is big enough to accommodate you.
"To put it bluntly, as long as you don't want to see each other, you may not see each other for many times in this life."
Hong Zhiyou smiled.
"As long as you know the situation," Ruirui said with a smile.
Arrived at the stationmaster's office.
Wu Jingzhong is on the phone:
"Big brother, the Qiao family did make contributions during the Anti-Japanese War. As for Yuan Peilin's case, it was Li Ya who lost his skills, and Stationmaster Qiao was just responsible for it.
"What is his crime?
“It’s nothing more than being too close to Vice President Lee and failing to do his job in investigating Ma Hansan’s corruption.
“But it’s not a capital crime.
"Brother, please be flexible. I will thank you when I go to Jingling someday.
"Okay, goodbye, Deputy Director Zheng."
After hanging up the phone, Wu Jingzhong looked at Hong Zhiyou and said, "You're back. You're not shabby anymore. You're still energetic. Not bad!"
Hong Zhiyou understood that Old Wu was afraid that he would suffer setbacks if he followed Jianfeng.
"Teacher, I got more than 100,000 tons of grain this time. This trip is enough for many people to earn in ten lifetimes. How can I not be excited?" Hong Zhi said with a humorous smile.
"I've checked the goods, and the U.S. military took away at least 20% of them.
“I have transferred most of the grain to the Cao Gang’s warehouse.
"After the loss of Jinzhou, people are in a panic now. Apart from the money given to Fu Zuoyi, you should sell the rest as soon as possible and cash it in."
Wu Jingzhong warned.
"Yes, teacher." Hong Zhi nodded.
"Dad, Zhiyou, you guys eat and talk at the same time." Ruirui opened the dining drawer.
"Teacher, is everything going well at the station during my absence?" Hong Zhiyou asked.
"That's not good.
"Fan Hanjie was captured, Zheng Dongguo and Zeng Zesheng surrendered, and now Liao Yaoxiang's army was completely wiped out, and Shenyang, Changchun and Jinzhou were all lost.
"Wei Lihuang and Du Yuming are organizing the army to retreat towards Huludao.
"A full 500,000-strong army in the Northeast was wiped out just like that.
"People in Pingjin are in a panic now. Chen Changjie is stepping up the construction of defensive fortifications. Once the Red Banknotes occupy the seaport, the army can land directly at Tanggu.
"You are right. The wisdom of the national army and the chairman is vulnerable.
“I originally wanted to go to Shanghai and Yuezhou.
"As a result, Jianfeng was completely defeated and Zheng Jiemin was unreliable. Overnight, I had nowhere to go."
There was an inexplicable sadness in Wu Jingzhong's tone.
At this point, he was very clear that he would not be able to sit on the throne for long.
"dad.
"There's nothing wrong with retirement. It would be nice to go to Hong Kong to enjoy a peaceful life, practice calligraphy with Lele, and play chess, right?" Ruirui said.
"Okay, okay." Wu Jingzhong said with a smile.
He took a few bites and motioned for Ruirui to take it and go down first.
Ruirui knew that he had something important to discuss, so she packed up her drawer and prepared to leave.
Hong Zhiyou chased after him and sent him downstairs.
"Ruirui, wait for me in the evening." He put his big hand on Ruirui's buttocks and said with a wicked smile.
"Hate.
"I think Dad seems to be reluctant to leave. You need to persuade him more."
Ruirui opened his hand and rolled her eyes.
"Yes, I know." Hong Zhi nodded.
After watching Ruirui get on the bus, he returned to the stationmaster's office.
“Smart.
"I received news that Weng Wenhao and Wang Yunwu have been ordered to resign, and the price limit on gold yuan coupons will be lifted soon. Today, people in Shanghai were scrambling to buy them again.
“Students took to the streets to denounce currency reform, saying Jianfeng was a political swindler who was making money.
"Why.
“I worked so hard to build up some reputation, but became notorious overnight.
"Jianfeng's fall was quite bad.
"I'm afraid your political investment this time has gone to waste."
Wu Jingzhong pointed at Hong Zhiyou and frowned.
"teacher.
"Jianfeng is just frustrated temporarily, he will get back on his feet sooner or later.
“But this may take some time.”
Hong Zhi has the Tao.
He knew that Wu Jingzhong had made that phone call to the Chairman and accepted the batch of supplies from the Kong family. This clear-cut "princeling" person had offended Kong Song greatly.
Apart from making some money in the short term, politics has reached a dead end.
Of course, Old Wu has been running the business for so many years and has some foundation.
Furthermore, given his relationship with the Americans, anyone who wants to touch him would have to think twice.
"How long is a little time?" Wu Jingzhong still held on to the last glimmer of hope.
"Twenty years." Hong Zhiyou said.
"Twenty years?"
Wu Jingzhong curled his lips and glared at him.
Twenty years later, he might even be buried in the ground, and he would no longer be a good-for-nothing official.
"Forget it, it doesn't matter if I'm not an official at all.
“By the way, Mao Renfeng is lobbying the military court to execute Qiao Jiacai.
“Stationmaster Joe and I are old friends.
"His wife called me and asked me to sort it out.
"Zheng Jieming is probably unreliable, and Jianfeng is currently incompetent. See if you can find someone to slow down the matter and prevent him from following in Ma Hansan's footsteps."
Wu Jingzhong said.
"Okay, I'll try calling Director Yu." Hong Zhiyou stood up and said.
He immediately called Yu Jishi's office:
"Hello, Director Yu, I am Zhiyou.
"It's like this, Stationmaster Qiao from Peking is still in prison, can you please make some concessions?
“Yes, it’s not easy to let go of someone that Director Mao is specifically targeting.
"Well, could you please say a few nice words to him? You can let him go, but at least save his life.
"OK.
"Thank you very much. Your brother will be going to Beijing to attend a conference soon. When the time comes, I will definitely invite Director Yu to come to Jinhai to meet him and fulfill my dream of making close friends with him.
"Goodbye, Director Yu."
After hanging up the phone, Hong Zhiyou said, "Teacher, it's impossible to save it. Mao Renfeng is watching us too closely. Director Yu said that we can ask the court to help us. We can just drag it out for a while."
"Well, there is hope as long as we can delay it for a while." Wu Jingzhong nodded.
"Zhiyou, do you think we can defend Jinhai?" He looked at Hong Zhiyou.
"We can't hold it." Hong Zhi said with certainty.
"it is good.
"Hey, I can sit in this position as long as I can.
"I'll take charge, and you use your brain. While there are still many people in Jinhai who have confidence in the National Government and Fu Zuoyi, you should deal with the real estate, banks, etc.
"Including food, some of it goes to the black market.
“We only accept gold and US dollars, and of course suitable antiques are also accepted.
“This matter should be done sooner rather than later.
“In my opinion, once the red ticket sweeps in, any relationship is fake.
“Who knows, the Americans may be the ones to run away the fastest.
“We can’t put all our hopes on them.
"While I am still in office, I will do my last big job."
Wu Jingzhong pointed his finger and said decisively and domineeringly.
"Teacher, you are really thoughtful. Okay, I will start dealing with the bank, house, etc. today." Hong Zhi was a little slow to react.
"By the way, what's the matter with Deputy Station Chief Li Ya?" he asked.
Logically speaking, with Old Wu's skills, he would not bring Li Ya up to play a rival role.
Especially now when things are about to be liquidated and run away.
Sticking such a nail in the head is undoubtedly asking for trouble.
“During the time you were away, Li Ya solved two major red ticket cases.
“Moreover, he executed Xu Zhao and Guo Youliang. Compared to Lu Qiaoshan’s blatant behavior, Li Ya’s methods were more cunning and treacherous.
“Now, anyone on the list he has drawn up will be assassinated directly.
"Xu Zhao was shot by someone who blocked his door at home.
"Guo Youliang had an argument with a classmate and was accidentally pushed down from the teaching building, dying on the spot.
“There are others related to red tickets, all of which were executed in secret.
“Students can’t find anyone to cause trouble.
"Everyone in Jinhai City is in danger now, with gunshots ringing everywhere at night, and it feels a bit like the old days.
"The key is that none of these matters went through my hands. Li Ya reported directly to Mao Renfeng.
“As soon as Jianfeng fell, Mao Renfeng sent a special envoy to directly promote him to deputy station chief.
"I also heard that Mao Renfeng submitted a yellow bird plan to the chairman, which is to plant a large number of spies to stay here, and the chairman is considering it.
"Li Ya will definitely be in charge of Jinhai Station by then.
"Of course, I'm not interested in these. What I'm worried about now is that Li Ya's eyes are looking at me in a strange way recently.
“I suspect he knows about Liu Xiong.
"It is very likely that I will be shot in the back."
"Section Chief Xiao can only prevent it temporarily, but not forever.
"so……"
Wu Jingzhong took a sip of tea to moisten his throat, and narrowed his eyes with a murderous look.
"What does the teacher mean?" Hong Zhiyou made a gesture of wiping his neck.
"That's right.
“It’s the last shift.
"Whoever wants to cut off my financial resources, I will cut off his livelihood.
"Isn't this an assassination? Who's afraid of who?
“When I assassinated Puyi’s brothers and Yamamoto Ichiro, Li Ya was still playing in the mud.
"You take charge, kill him.
"I want Mao Renfeng to know that as long as I am still sitting here, he will never get his hands on Jinhai."
Wu Jingzhong was like a tiger that had been sleeping for a long time and finally showed its sharp fangs.
"Teacher, that's what I meant.
“In the current chaotic situation, it is better to fight with strength than with wisdom, and truth and destiny are only on the edge of the sword.
"Whoever has the sharper sword will be the winner." Even if Mao Renfeng wants to settle the score, it will be in the future.
Hong Zhiyou had already made up his mind from the moment he killed Lu Ming.
If Kong Lingkan's backers weren't too powerful, Hong Zhiyou would be able to deal with him in Shanghai.
Nowadays, the various factions within the Kuomintang government are seriously torn apart, with gangs, red ticket holders, and Americans mixed together. With the loss of the Northeast, Jinhai, the top economic city in the north, is in turmoil.
It is not easy to kill generals.
It's still possible to deal with a school officer.
They just killed him and no one cared to investigate, and no one could find the source.
“Well, we two thought of the same thing.
"In order to protect Li Ya, Mao Renfeng specially selected a group of elite soldiers who had retired from the training team to form a guard team and allocated it specifically to Li Ya.
“I guess he was also guarding against this.
"When you take action here, you must be fully prepared and never leave any evidence behind."
Wu Jingzhong instructed.
"Don't worry, teacher." Hong Zhiyou said.
"There is another person, Yu Zecheng, how do you think we should deal with him?" Wu Jingzhong's eyes became more serious.
"teacher.
"In the past, in the eyes of the chairman, the Ministry of National Defense, Jianfeng and others, Jinhai's merits far outweighed its faults. In particular, the chairman and Jianfeng were very positive about your leadership of Jinhai.
"So, the only popular spy in our station is Ma Kui."
Hong Zhiyou quickly spoke well of Lao Yu.
“But have you ever thought about what I would do if Yu Zecheng suddenly became the mayor of Jinhai City one day?
“It would be nice if I could get to Hong Island smoothly.
"If you can't go and still work in the government, you'll lose your head in a matter of minutes."
Wu Jingzhong said.
"What does the teacher mean?" Hong Zhiyou asked.
“Or take it away.
“Or make him disappear.
"Zhiyou, I originally thought that I could benefit from your kindness in the future, but right now, it seems that the harm far outweighs the benefit.
“Let’s not talk about whether Yu Zecheng recognizes our relationship or not.
“Even if he admits it, how much benefit can we get?
“This transaction is not equal.
“So, you must not let him stay. Go and test his attitude. If he wants to escape back to the red zone, execute him immediately.
“If he still wants to stay and continue to do something, then just observe first.
"When Jin Hai is really lost, it won't be too late for me to get him to accompany us."
Wu Jingzhong said with great foresight.
"Okay." Hong Zhi nodded.
In line with the original drama, it seems that Old Wu had this in mind when he sent people to intercept Yu Zecheng.
"Go."
Wu Jingzhong waved his hand.
Hong Zhiyou quickly came to Yu Zecheng's office.
Yu Zecheng was working with his head down.
"Why don't you take a leave to accompany your senior sister?" Hong Zhiyou asked with a smile.
"Alas, it's a turbulent time, who has time to care about these things." Yu Zecheng said.
“I just had a chat with the stationmaster.
"Xu Zhao and Guo Youliang are dead, Li Ya is carrying out assassinations crazily, and the next target may be you.
"I think it's time for you to take Senior Sister away."
Hong Zhiyou reminded him.
“I can’t leave yet.
"Chen Changjie is currently building more city defense facilities. I need to get the city defense map to minimize troop losses.
“Furthermore, Shopkeeper Qiu sent an important piece of information a few days ago.
"Mao Renfeng plans to carry out Operation Yellow Bird, which is a special operation to carry out explosions, assassinations, etc. The organization has ordered me to get the list of Jinhai.
"I'm leaving now, these tasks can't be done."
Yu Zecheng held his forehead and said depressedly.
"So, you don't want to leave?" Hong Zhiyou secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
"You can't leave."
"The city defense map is said to be controlled by a staff officer named Qian Bin from the General Staff. Can you think of a solution?" Yu Zecheng said.
"Let's talk later. Take care of your own life first and be careful when you go out."
Hong Zhiyou ordered.
"Got it." Yu Zecheng nodded.
……
Afternoon, two o'clock.
The phone in Li Ya's office rang.
“Hello, it’s me.
"Director Mao, yes.
"clear.
"Great, the Yellow Bird Project has been approved."
"Don't worry, I can bring down Yu Zecheng right away.
"If Yu Zecheng falls, Wu Jingzhong will be a fish on the chopping board.
"Then I can take over as deputy station chief and implement the Yellow Bird Plan."
Li Ya said happily.
"it is good.
"Goodbye, Director Mao."
After hanging up the phone, Li Ya uttered a cold voice from between his teeth:
“The Yellowbird Project is going through me.
"Very good.
"Old dog Wu, it's time to deal with you."
He is now basically certain that his mentor Liu Xiong died at the hands of Wu Jingzhong.
Li Ya felt so angry when he thought about being deceived by the old thief for so long.
He must bring down Wu Jingzhong, send him to the electric chair, and let him experience all kinds of torture.
of course.
We also need to squeeze out the treasures and money that Wu Jingzhong has embezzled.
As long as the person is in our hands, we must hand him over even if he is hiding in Hong Kong.
And this is exactly what Mao Renfeng, who has repeatedly coveted Jinhai but suffered setbacks in the past, is most concerned about.
"It's time to use the first killer move."
Li Ya bit the corner of his mouth lightly, picked up the clothes on the wall and walked out.
……
Jinhai, Laifu Teahouse.
Li Guifen, wearing a cheongsam and with a rosy face, was sitting by the window drinking tea.
creak.
Li Ya pushed the door open and walked in, then closed the door.
"Li Ya, do you have something to ask me?" Li Guifen hated this 'enemy' to the core.
"Take out the bag."
Li Ya looked around and said.
"Why do you want my bag?" Li Guifen was puzzled.
"Bring it here."
Li Ya pulled out his gun and slammed it on the table.
Li Guifen handed him the bag.
Li Ya made a quick check to make sure there was no recorder before saying:
"I came to you to avenge Lao Lu and Lu Ming."
"What do you mean?" Li Guifen frowned.
"Stop pretending.
"You know very well why Lu Qiaoshan let me go and gave me his diary." Li Ya took out the diary from his arms and shook it.
“I didn’t kill Lu Ming.
"Later, Old Lu also wrote in his diary that whoever rescued Qian Siming would kill Lu Ming.
“I can tell you for sure.
“It can only be Yu Zecheng.
"I came to you because I want to work together to expose Yu Zecheng's identity as a red ticket and avenge Old Lu and his son."
Li Ya continued.
Li Guifen's eyes turned red, and she said with hatred: "You, what do you want me to do?"
"In this way, you..."
Li Ya waved his hand, motioning her to come closer, and then whispered in a low voice.
"This, this is not good. Cuiping and I..." Li Guifen frowned.
"idiot.
“Think about how Lao Lu and your son died.
"Don't you want their souls to rest in peace?"
Li Ya cursed angrily.
"Okay, I... I promise you." Li Guifen was silent for a few seconds and then agreed.
……
Six pm.
Yu Zecheng returned home carrying his bag, looking tired.
Cuiping is cooking.
"Why do you look so ugly? As if you have lost your soul. Are you still being hooked by Zuo Lan?" Cui Ping asked with a roll of her eyes.
"I'm not attracted to Zuo Lan, I'm attracted to you." Yu Zecheng looked at her and said.
The situation is getting worse.
The closer it gets to the last moment before dawn, the darker it gets.
Li Ya became the deputy webmaster.
The webmaster and Hong Zhiyou are leaving.
The transportation was blocked everywhere, and he was really worried whether he and Cuiping could wait until the day of victory.
Especially Cuiping.
Judging from Li Ya's questioning today, she will become Li Ya's key surveillance target.
If you are not careful, you may lose your life.
"Ah.
"You've made progress. You know how to coax people now." Cuiping put the food on the table.
Yu Zecheng smiled, rolled up his sleeves, washed his hands, and prepared to eat.
"Cui Ping, Zhiyou hinted to me today that the stationmaster is still inclined to take me away or get rid of me. We have to act as soon as possible to get the city defense map and the Yellow Bird Plan, and get rid of Wu Jingzhong's control before the army enters Jinhai City." Yu Zecheng said.
"The stationmaster wants to get rid of you?" Cuiping asked in surprise.
“Once our identities are made public in the future, he will most likely be implicated.
"It's not surprising that someone wants to silence someone."
Yu Zecheng said calmly.
"Zhiyou should be able to help us." Cuiping said.
"Hard to say.
"Some things are beyond his control. We can only do our best and leave the rest to fate." Yu Zecheng said.
"Don't be afraid.
"The sky won't fall. If we are caught, I will die with you. You won't be bored."
Cuiping saw that he was nervous and said something to comfort him in a calm manner.
Yu Zecheng looked at her, and the haze in his heart instantly dissipated.
"Why are you looking at me? There's nothing carved on my face." Cuiping said.
"Engraved."
"What word?"
"Don't tell you!"
Life and death follow each other!
……
the next morning.
Cuiping went out to buy groceries as usual.
Just as I was about to go home, I heard someone behind me calling, "Cui Ping."
Cuiping looked back and saw that it was Li Guifen whom she had not seen for a long time.
