Chapter 343 Do you want to rebel?
Lin Dingli rushed to the casino.

Looking at his old brother Lin Zigun lying in a pool of blood, his face darkened, his eyes sinister and fierce as he asked:

"Lao Luo, who did it?"

Luo Youzhang told the whole story of Sun Xing and his group.

"Dingli, who do you think did it?"

Luo Youzhang asked.

"no.

“They are from the Bureau of Secret Affairs or Jianfeng.

“Now that the U.S. military has stopped its military aid, there aren’t many people who can get so many American-style grenades.

"I'll talk to Commander Peng about this later."

Lin Dingli frowned slightly and roughly guessed who it was.

"Damn, Third Brother didn't offend anyone. The accident happened just when we secured the grain. Could it be done by one of our own people?" Luo Youzhang said.

"Where is Wang Kun?" Lin Dingli asked.

"I've already called." Luo Youzhang said.

As they were talking, Wang Kun and Gu Youniu rushed into the casino, drunk.

"Brother.

"Brother Zai!"

Gu Youniu did not act as if his father had died. He just clenched his fists tightly and tears fell silently.

Everyone present could relate to that suppressed hatred.

"Lao Luo, you take care of Third Brother's funeral, I'm leaving first.

"Wang Kun, come with me."

Lin Dingli wondered who had done it.

Someone come here and get some American grenades.

And they all have mainland accents.

It is very likely that it is Hong Zhiyou’s person.

"Wang Kun, who do you think did it?" Lin Dingli asked after getting in the car.

“Hong Zhi has it.

"He is investigating us. The key is that he is a businessman. Now that we have stored so much food, Jianfeng wants to get everything when he lands on the island.

"It is very likely that he attacked us under Jianfeng's instructions."

Wang Kun analyzed.

This is what Gu Youniu told him.

"Well, I will discuss it with Chief Peng tomorrow. We have to get rid of this guy, otherwise it will be difficult for us to survive in Wanbei." Lin Dingli said.

"Brother Li, I feel...I feel that there is something more important to do right now." Wang Kun glanced at him and stammered.

"What's the matter?" Lin Dingli asked.

"Now the Jiang family wants to take a bite of anyone they catch, and people like us are the thorns in their eyes.

“Brother Li.

"You and your brother have worked so hard to collect grain from various cities and counties, so you should sell it out as soon as possible.

“What if Jianfeng finds out and kills us all, and we end up like the Kong family in Shanghai.

“By then, let alone making money, I’m afraid even my underwear will be gone.

"It would be better to take advantage of this situation now that Gu Youniu has connections and let him exchange it, or sell it on the market and make a lot of money from it."

Wang Kun suggested.

These were all taught to him by Gu Youniu.

Lin Dingli and his gang took advantage of their relationship with the chief of the Wanbei station and collected a lot of private grain from the entire Wandao grain station. Although it was not as much as the Kong family in the past, it was still as much as 100,000 US dollars.

However, no one knew where the grain was except a few core members such as Lin Dingli and Lin Zaigun.

Jianfeng and Mao Renfeng had searched the area several times before, and almost turned all suspicious places upside down, but still found nothing.

For this reason, Mao Renfeng also arrested several gang leaders.

These people would rather die than confess.

This matter is stuck here.

"We still have to discuss this matter with Commander Peng. There's no time to rush." ​​Lin Dingli said.

Wang Kun cursed in his heart.

His family is almost out of food.

If he doesn't ship the goods, he won't be able to continue his small business.

So annoying.

……

The next day.

Hong Zhiyou appeared at Bashengyuan on time.

Wipe the table and make tea.

Just like in Shanghai in the old days.

Jianfeng came in with a briefcase under his arm. Seeing him busy, he asked with a smile:
"You're not in the Bay North Stationmaster's office, why are you here?"

"Am I not the leader of the investigation team under the director now? Stationmaster Wu said that you are very busy, so he asked me to be on duty here. It's fine as long as the director doesn't think I'm an eyesore." Hong Zhiyou said with a smile.

"how could be?

"You and I are a golden pair. If we had accomplished something in Shanghai, we might be sitting in the official residence in Jinling drinking tea now." Jianfeng said.

"Director, I got rid of Lin Zaigun last night." Hong Zhiyou said.

"The leader of the Dazhu Gang?" Jianfeng said with narrowed eyes.

"yes.

"My people have investigated and found that he and Lin Dingli used their connections with the gang, the Bureau of Secrets, and the Security Command to privately purchase grain and flour from the grain station and hoard them."

Hong Zhiyou said.

"I know this. Before you came to the Tao, Chen Cheng sent people to investigate.

"It's a pity that this group of people are more cunning than foxes, and we have never found their granary." Jianfeng sat down and took a sip of tea.

As the aroma of tea entered his throat, a smile appeared on his face again.

It is his favorite Longjing tea.

"That's why I killed Lin Zaigun." Hong Zhiyou said.

Jianfeng looked at him for a while and understood:

"Do you want to make Lin Dingli panic and reveal his true form?"

Then he shook his head:
“That’s not the point.

“I don’t take them seriously, just a few gang members.

“I once thought about arresting Lin Dingli and asking him to hand over the granary.

“But this man and Peng Mengji are sworn brothers.

"The Security Command has 100,000 men, guarding the north of the bay. They are the imperial guards.

“Peng Mengji arrived on the island relatively early and is considered a local force.

"Father has just arrived on the island and has not yet resumed his political power. The only people he can rely on are Chen Cheng and Sun Liren. It is hard to say what these two people are thinking. If we touch Lin Dingli at this time, we may get into trouble.

"At this stage, unity and stability should be the priority."

"Director, I think we can try to persuade Chief Peng to let me talk to him." Hong Zhiyou volunteered.

Jianfeng did know those methods of his, and said with a smile: "Let's make it clear first, I will allocate you a maximum of 5,000 US dollars in funding. Can you negotiate with him to see your ability?"

"Five thousand is enough. If it's not enough, I can add some more." Hong Zhiyou said.

"Drink tea."

Jianfeng then pointed at the teapot, his smile growing even brighter.

Having a capable subordinate means you don’t have to worry too much.

……

3pm.

Hong Zhiyou drove Kong Lingwei's Rolls-Royce Silver Yao to the security headquarters.

No notification required.

There aren’t many cars of this type in Wanbei, especially one with such a domineering license plate, so it can only belong to the second daughter of the Kong family.

Hong Zhiyou stretched out his hand to show his identity, and the guard immediately let him in.

office.

Peng Mengji was holding a cigarette in one hand and reviewing documents with the other.

"Sir, Hong Zhi from Wanbei Station wants to see you." The adjutant walked in.

"he?

“If we can’t pee in a pot, we will disappear.

"Just say I'm out for a meeting."

Peng Mengji frowned.

Lin Zaigun was beaten to death on the spot last night.

Everyone in Wandao knows that he has a close relationship with Lin Zaigun.

If Lin Dingli's analysis is true, then Hong Zhi did something wrong.

This guy is just slapping himself in the face.

It's good enough that I didn't cause him any trouble, why bother to meet him?

"He said he knew you were here, and that he was following Director Jiang's orders to discuss important matters with you," said the adjutant.

“Important matter?
"What's so important that Jianfeng can't even call me, and he wants me to come over for a face-to-face meeting, and he even needs a messenger to pass the message?" Peng Mengji sneered.

"Row.

"Then I'll send him away," said the adjutant.

"never mind.

"It's better to meet him. After all, he is from Jianfeng. If he refuses to leave, it will be bad if the news gets out." Peng Mengji said.

“Commander Peng.

"It's a shame to visit you, please don't bother me!"

Hong Zhiyou walked in and spoke in a friendly and respectful manner.

"Secretary Hong, sit down." Peng Mengji waved his hand to signal the adjutant to leave.

“Commander Peng.

“I’ve heard of your name for a long time.

"In the Battle of Songhu and the Battle of Changsha, you led the troops to fight on the front lines without regard for your own life, and you are truly a hero of the country.

"After that, we recovered the Wandao Island.

"It was you who led the army across the sea to take over, expel the Japanese invaders, and enhance the prestige of the Party and the country.

"I have admired you for a long time and wanted to visit you, but I was limited by the sea. Today, I finally get my wish."

Hong Zhiyou bowed slightly to show his respect.

Peng Mengji originally didn't intend to be nice to this kid, but he never expected that Hong Zhiyou's words would touch his heart, and he couldn't vent his anger for a while.

As the saying goes, reach out and don't hit the smiling person.

"You're so nice, it's all old news."

"Secretary Hong, is there anything I can help you with?"

Peng Mengji smiled, led him to sit down on the sofa, and personally poured tea for Hong Zhiyou.

“I came here for two things.

"It is a private matter, but it can also be said to be a public matter." Hong Zhiyou said.

"Oh, what do you mean?" Peng Mengji asked with raised eyebrows.

"I found a clue that Lin Dingli and Lin Zaigun were suspected of hoarding civilian supplies. The intelligence has been basically confirmed..."

Before Hong Zhi could finish his words, Peng Mengji interrupted with a sneer:
"Since you have the information, you should go and arrest the person. Why are you coming to me?"

"Commander Peng is indeed a soldier, with a straightforward temper." Hong Zhiyou said.

“Then I’ll get straight to the point.

"Jianfeng already knew about Lin Dingli's reselling of supplies.

"But do you know why Lin Dingli hasn't been caught yet?"

Hong Zhiyou asked.

"I only know how to march and fight, but I don't know how to catch corrupt officials and traitors." Peng Mengji said with a stern face.

“Because you have one too.

"But Comrade Jianfeng and I would rather believe that Lin Dingli is doing something unscrupulous under the guise of you, the commander.

"The director knows that you have made outstanding military achievements and are a Whampoa student highly regarded by the chairman. He does not want the general's reputation to be tarnished.

“So, I was specially ordered to make friends with the general.

“It’s too late to discuss some things at Bashengyuan.

"It would be more appropriate to start the conversation as friends, what do you think?"

Hong Zhiyou stared at him, slowly leaned back, and lit a cigarette.

"Sorry, I don't understand and I can't figure out anything." Peng Mengji looked at him, a trace of cold sweat on his forehead, but he still didn't give in.

“There’s nothing to understand.

“Don’t you just like money?
“Who doesn’t like money? I like money too, and the director also knows that you and I like money.

"It's not shameful!"

Hong Zhiyou said it directly.

"The goods that Lin Dingli and Lin Zai Gun pledged cannot be more than what Kong Lingkan pledged in the past.

“In my opinion, it’s around $100,000 at most.

"You'll probably get about 20,000 to 30,000 US dollars?"

As he spoke, he picked up the box and slapped it on the table, then spun it around and pushed it in front of Peng Mengji.

"Snapped!"

Hong Zhiyou opened the lid.

Inside was a stack of cigars and a stack of hundred-dollar bills.

“This is $10,000.

“Five thousand was allocated by the director through the Political Mobilization Committee.

"The other five thousand is a small gift from the general, whom I admire.

“As long as the general agrees to help me eradicate the villains who are destroying the people’s livelihood in Bay North, the general can appoint someone to work with me to confiscate their property.

"In short, the general will not suffer any loss that he deserves."

Hong Zhiyou pushed the box in front of him.

Peng Mengji took several sips of tea, his eyes flickering with anxiety.

Lin Dingli is an old brother.

It's not fair to ask him to betray his brothers.

"Of course, the general can refuse to agree and even tip off Lin Dingli.

“But you know the consequences.

"There are constant gunshots in Machang Town every day. You can try to follow the principal or lead the security headquarters to rebel." Hong Zhiyou tapped the table and smiled playfully.

Peng Mengji was sweating profusely. He slammed the table and glared at Hong Zhiyou, "Are you threatening me?"

"Threatening you?

"If it weren't for the fact that you are a student of the Whampoa Military Academy and the chairman had said hello, would the director have needed me to give you the money?

"Who the hell do you think you are?
“Isn’t it just about making money?
“Whose earnings are not earnings?
"If Lin Zai dies, will Lin Dingli be sad?

"No, he will just be happy because he can get less money.

“I’ve seen a lot of things in Vanity Fair.

"I have many good friends, such as Kirk, Yu Jishi and Song Ziliang.

“They’re willing to help me, not out of some bullshit brotherhood.

"I am a major who was born in the countryside. What qualifications do I have to make them look at me differently?

“It’s MONEY, it’s US dollars and gold bars.

“So, put away your bullshit brotherhood, stop thinking about taking the party’s money and digging up its graves.

"General, you better think it over.

"I'll be waiting for your answer right here!"

Hong Zhiyou extinguished the cigarette angrily, folded his arms over his chest and looked at him coldly.

Peng Mengji glared at him fiercely, stood up, put his hands on his hips, walked to the window, and paced back and forth.

He has been in charge of Wandao for several years. Everyone who sees him should be respectful.
I didn't expect to be threatened by a young boy.

However, Hong Zhiyou represents Jianfeng.

Jianfeng is now eager to take power.

As one of the most powerful figures in the local area, he can either fight to the end or voluntarily hand over power and pledge loyalty.

Peng Mengji was unwilling to give in.

But Hong Zhi made his point very clear.

If he doesn't do as he is told, Jianfeng will turn against him and arrest Lin Dingli, and it will be hard to say what will be revealed by then.

In the worst case, he would be sentenced to imprisonment like Qiao Jiacai, or be secretly executed in Lamachang Town.

Unless, as Hong Zhi said, he led his troops to rebel and completely turned against the principal.

No.

As a Whampoa student, that would be a shame in life.

"it is good.

"For the principal's cultivation, I promise you.

"What do you want me to do?"

Peng Mengji gritted his teeth and turned around to say.

"Where is their warehouse?" Hong Zhiyou asked with a smile.

"have no idea.

"I never get involved in these things personally." Peng Mengji shook his head.

"it is good.

“I guess Lin Dingli will discuss the shipment with you soon.

“You have to persuade him to ship the goods.

"During this period, you have to find a way to trap him and wait for my call to take action.

"This guy is very cunning. It will be difficult to catch him once he runs away."

Hong Zhiyou gave the order very competently.

"Yeah." Peng Mengji nodded.

"Commander Peng, from now on we are friends, and I hope we can have a pleasant cooperation." After Hong Zhiyou finished his instructions, he extended his hand.

Peng Mengji shook it and said coldly: "Since we are friends, I will take your money.

“You can’t take even a penny from Director Jiang.

"It is Peng's duty to serve the party and the country and to share the director's concerns.

"You'd better take it back."

"Okay, I will definitely convey your exact words to the director." Hong Zhiyou stood up and walked out.

"call!"

Peng Mengji slumped on the sofa, rubbing his eyebrows in pain.

He really didn't expect that Hong Zhiyou, at such a young age, had a mouth sharper than a knife, which made it impossible to resist.

no way.

For his own future and loyalty to the principal, he had no choice but to sacrifice his old brother.

……

Six pm.

Lin Dingli indeed came to Peng Mengji's office:
"Old Peng, Lin Zai is dead. I suspect Hong Zhi did it."

"No doubt, it was him who did it. There are not many people who can get so many American grenades these days." Peng Mengji nodded.

“What to do now.

"He is backed by Jianfeng. The situation is not good now. Lao Luo, Wang Kun and I intend to get rid of this guy. What do you think?" Lin Dingli said with a fierce look in his eyes.

"Get rid of him?

"What do you think? The affair between you and Wu Jingzhong is now known to everyone in the city.

"Hong Zhiyou is helping my wife and Jianfeng, so maybe we'll have to send him as a special envoy to ask the U.S. military to protect the island.

"If you touch him at this time, the consequences will be more serious than assassinating the chairman.

"If you want to die, don't drag me along with you."

Peng Mengji cursed angrily.

"By the way, what are your plans for that batch of goods?" he asked after a pause.

"Wang Kun advised me to sell it, or give it to one of my subordinates to transport it to other places and distribute it in small quantities. Do you have any instructions?" Lin Dingli said.

"Well, if we keep the pressure on for a while longer, the price might go up a little more.

“Wang Kun is right.

"It's better to get out early. Jianfeng and Mao Renfeng are now investigating this batch of supplies. It will be troublesome if they find it. Losing money is a small matter, but you may even lose your head."

Peng Mengji frowned and pretended to have a headache.

"Can't it protect you too?" Lin Dingli asked.

"It's Jianfeng's instructions. What else can I do unless I rebel?" Peng Mengji shrugged and smiled bitterly.

"All right.

"Then let's do it tonight, so we don't have to worry too much." Lin Dingli said with a sigh without any doubt.

"Be quiet and keep a low profile," said Peng Mengji.

"clear.

"I'll go first." Lin Dingli said.

"Wait, just call Lao Luo and ask him to do it. You don't have to go. In case anything goes wrong, I can testify for you if you stay here." Peng Mengji said with concern.

"Alright.

"I'll call and order some food, and we'll have a drink tonight.

"hey-hey.

"Old Lin is dead. His share must have been 20,000 to 30,000 US dollars. It's just a good bargain for us."

Lin Dingli laughed dryly.

Peng Mengji felt a chill in his heart.

Hong Zhiyou was right, what a bullshit brotherhood, Lin Zaigun once saved Lin Dingli's life.

If he can say such things, how good can he be to me?
In other words, he has a gun in his hand and is the security commander.

Otherwise, I would have been kicked out by him long ago.

Made.

Since Lin Dingli is unkind, don't blame yourself for being unjust.

sold!

"That's right, it's hard to earn American dollars now, and we are lucky to have Hong Zhi's shot.

"I'm going to get a few bottles of good wine and we'll get drunk tonight.

"Call Lao Luo now and ask him to get it done."

Peng Mengji also smiled with a mercenary look on his face.
