Chapter 362 Perfect
Basheng Garden.
Jianfeng, accompanied by Wan'an, walked into the interrogation room.
On the wooden stake, Xu Li, with her hands tied high, had disheveled hair and was trembling with fear.
“Xu Li.
"You should know this person." Du Chun, who was in charge of the interrogation, raised his hand and asked.
When Xu Li saw Jianfeng's imposing and dignified look, she immediately thought of the big shot she often saw in the newspapers.
"You, you are Director Jiang." Xu Li said in a trembling voice.
"Yes, it's me.
"Ms. Xu.
“I also have a daughter, she is twelve years old and I love her very much.
“You are still young and beautiful, you should cherish your life and enjoy it instead of becoming a ghost in Babacho.
“So, I hope you don’t hold back.
"Okay?"
Jianfeng picked up the interrogation record on the table, took a look at it, and said in a gentle tone.
"Director, I, I really confessed everything. The diary has been taken away by Director Mao, and the person has been arrested." Xu Li said in a trembling voice.
“I trust you very much.
"But it seems that you don't trust me very much?"
Jianfeng's face darkened and he stood up and left.
Du Chun and others on the side immediately picked up whips and branding irons and acted like ferocious beasts.
"Director, wait!
"I, I admit it!"
Xu Li realized that if she didn't speak up, death would be waiting for her.
There is no news of Chai Qian's life or death to this day.
There's no point in holding on any longer.
"That's right.
"Go ahead."
Jianfeng smiled and turned back to his chair.
A wave of hands.
Someone immediately put Xu Li down and poured her some hot water to warm her up.
“Old Zheng’s real name is Chai… Chai Qian, and he is the head of the Hongpiaowandao Working Committee.
"He, he had two diaries. One is in my hand. He told me to keep it to save my life in a critical moment. That's the one I gave to Director Mao.
“The other one… is his trump card.
"He revealed that there was a record of an important person in it, which was enough for him to enjoy wealth and glory after being caught."
Xu Li held the teacup and took two sips, then said tremblingly.
"Where is the diary?" Jianfeng leaned forward and asked hurriedly.
"It's in a guest room at Shengquan Temple on Kunlun Road, the third room on the left.
"There is a vase at the door with a key inside. Once you go in, the diary is hidden in the shrine."
Xu Li answered truthfully.
"Have you seen it?" Jianfeng said.
Xu Li shook her head: "I have been in, but the shrine is very large, and the diary is locked in a small iron box with a complex code, and there is a copper lock on the outside.
“Chai Qian is very cautious and has a bad temper.
"I was afraid he would find out, so I didn't dare touch the box."
Jianfeng nodded and immediately whispered to Wan'an: "You, quickly take someone to the temple to get the box. Remember not to let anyone else know."
"Yes, Director."
Wanan walked away quickly.
"Someone, take Miss Xu to the reception room to rest and prepare a sumptuous lunch for her." Jianfeng ordered.
After half an hour.
Wan'an took the small box back, opened it and took out the notebook inside.
"director."
Wanan presented it with both hands.
Jianfeng opened it and frowned, "Kuang Fuchun?"
"Secretary Kuang, that's Chen Cheng's man." Wan An said.
"Yes.
“This is very troublesome.
"In order to sideline Yan Xishan, my father appointed Kuang Fuchun as secretary-general.
"If we touch him now, Chen Cheng will have a hard time explaining himself.
"Is there any news about Hong Zhi?"
Jianfeng did not make a decision immediately. He wanted to discuss it with Hong Zhi.
Hong Zhiyou is quite good at dealing with people and his brain is quite good.
……
Reception room on the third floor of the Security Bureau.
Yu Zecheng instructed Jianfeng's guards, "You two, go in and check first. One of you should watch him bathe to prevent any accidents."
"Yes." Two guards went to the bathroom for security check.
Yu Zecheng took the opportunity to whisper to Zhang Wencheng, “Old Zhang, wash for a while longer and delay the time as much as possible.
“Also, don’t say you know, just say you heard Chai Qian mention Secretary-General Kuang when he was drunk.
“And then try not to choose to leave in a hurry.
"Jianfeng might become suspicious and silence the witness.
"Stay here for now, and make a decision later when it's safe."
He tilted his head and spoke very quickly.
"I know." Zhang Wencheng nodded seriously.
Wait until he enters the bathroom.
Yu Zecheng came out and said to Hong Zhiyou who was smoking at the door: "Xu Li won't wear anything, right? This conflicts with our plan to kill her."
"Won't.
“Ox has seen it, the diary is hidden in a small box and no one has touched it for a long time.
“This is Chai Qian’s trump card. He will definitely not reveal the contents to Xu Li. There would be no point in hiding it.
"Xu Li is a woman, she doesn't have the mind and skills to do this, she will restore it to its original state after looking at it.
“Otherwise, with Chai Qian’s caution and cunning, he would have discovered the transfer diary long ago.
“That’s why I changed my mind.
"With Xu Li's 'testimony' and diary, plus the confirmation from the No. 2 figure Zhang Wencheng, the case against Kuang Fuchun can be confirmed. Then I will arrest a few more wealthy businessmen to accuse Kuang Fuchun together.
“Plus, when he was in Jingling, he was indeed a high-ranking trader in the intelligence community.
"With so much evidence piled up, he can't argue even if he has a hundred mouths.
"The most important thing is that the Americans are not optimistic about the Chairman. Chen Cheng has high prestige and has been operating in Taiwan for a long time. Like Chen Lifu, he is feared by the Chairman.
"Jianfeng and the chairman were willing to believe that Kuang Fuchun was a red ticket in order to attack and contain Chen Cheng.
"So, this important high-level traitor must be Kuang Fuchun."
Hong Zhi has a very sophisticated analysis.
"Understood.
"Just like what happened to Ma Kui back then." Yu Zecheng understood instantly.
“This basically closes the loop.
"Lao Yu, this may be the last time I can help you.
“Wait until Gu Zhengwen goes to Zuo Lan.
"After this job, I have to go back to Hong Kong."
Hong Zhi nodded.
"Okay, thank you." Yu Zecheng said gratefully.
Half an hour later, Zhang Wencheng took medicine, changed into clean clothes, and was taken out by the guards.
Hong Zhiyou drove straight to Bashengyuan.
"Director, Zhang Wencheng has been recruited." After entering the office, Hong Zhiyou reported happily.
"Oh?
"How did you pry his mouth open?" Jianfeng was curious.
"He spent two hundred thousand U.S. dollars, and almost all the cash I had on hand was given to him." Hong Zhiyou reported with a wry smile.
In the past, he resold grain without any restraint. In addition to handling most of the grain in secret, the amount he sold on the surface was only tens of thousands of tons or about one hundred thousand tons.
Another reason is to deliberately leave room for the Chiang father and son to use leverage.
How can they believe in themselves if I don't leave some tails?
And now, he spent a lot of money, also telling Jianfeng: he did eat secretly, but he also vomited more, and he didn't take a penny from the Jiang family father and son.
"it is good!
"Zhiyou, you've worked hard. I will definitely report this to my father and take credit for it!"
While Jianfeng was overjoyed, he also felt a bit guilty towards Hong Zhiyou.
A loyal minister is revealed in times of adversity.
The party and the country are currently facing a funding shortage, and money is tight in all areas.
Zhiyou not only obtained assistance, but was also willing to pay out of his own pocket to lend a helping hand.
This shows that his original intention of fighting corruption in Shanghai has not changed.
I was just overthinking it.
Ashamed!
"Director, serving the Party, the country and you is my duty.
“Hello, only when the Party and the country are doing well, can my subordinates have a good life.
"Only by following you can Zhiyou have a bright future.
"I never doubted that."
Hong Zhiyou expressed his "feelings" from the bottom of his heart.
“You are an understanding person.
"Have you brought the person here?" Jianfeng pointed at him and smiled with relief.
"I've brought him. I'll go and call him in." Hong Zhiyou said.
"No rush, let's arrange for Zhang Wencheng to rest first. It's time for lunch, let's have lunch first.
"Wan'an, ask the kitchen to prepare a few more delicious dishes.
"Take out the bottle of good wine that I treasure. Today is a good day worth celebrating. I have to have a good drink with Zhiyou." Jianfeng ordered loudly.
"Yes."
Seeing that Jianfeng loved Hong Zhiyou so much, Wan'an glanced at Hong Zhiyou inconspicuously, felt inexplicably relieved, and walked out with brisk steps.
Chatted for a while.
Hong Zhiyou followed Jianfeng to the restaurant.
Compared to last time, this lunch has ten dishes.
Seven meats, two vegetables and one soup.
“I can’t give you two hundred thousand dollars, so I can only treat you with wine.
"This bottle of old wine was given to me by my father at the family reunion dinner when Fang Liang and I came back from the Soviet Union to visit our ancestors. I couldn't bear to drink it, so I kept it until now.
"Today, fine wine is presented to heroes. Let's drink it."
Jianfeng opened the bottle himself and poured a glass for Hong Zhiyou.
Suddenly, the aroma of wine filled the air.
Hong Zhiyou stood straight and said respectfully, "Director, I am truly blessed to have received a glass of wine from you personally for my humble contribution.
"I, I'll do it first."
He picked up the glass, raised it tremblingly and drank it all in one gulp.
"Sit down, sit down!" Jianfeng gestured gently.
"Father thinks highly of you and has repeatedly asked me to treat you well and kindly.
“The party-state does not have many talents available now.
“You are second to none.
"Tell me, who was the person Zhang Wencheng gave up?"
He did not mention Xu Li's confession, but instead tested Hong Zhiyou first, wanting to compare it.
"director.
"How could it be my turn to know about such an important matter? I didn't dare to ask." Hong Zhiyou smiled innocently. "You are too cunning.
"Okay, I'll go ask myself later.
"eat first."
Jianfeng knew that he was afraid of getting into trouble, so he laughed out loud.
At the same time, I also like his cleverness and enthusiasm more and more.
He likes smart people.
But I don't like people who are too smart.
Hong Zhi knows what is important and knows the rules, which is very good.
"Director, it is so easy and worry-free to work with you. You plan everything and I will do whatever you direct. I will just follow your orders.
"I just came late with you. If I had come a few years earlier, I might have been promoted to lieutenant general by now."
Hong Zhiyou showed his cordiality at the right time, eating his food casually while flattering the emperor.
"now it's right.
"You are still young. Once you have enough experience and achievements, you will be the second Chen Cheng in the future, not to mention lieutenant general." After drinking two glasses of wine, Jianfeng spoke more casually.
"director.
“I don’t want to be Chen Cheng.
"I just want to be like Wan'an in my life, doing odd jobs around you and I'll be content."
Hong Zhiyou laughed softly.
"Okay, okay!" Jianfeng understood and laughed out loud.
Wan'an, who was standing at the door, heard laughter from inside.
A rare smile appeared on that stern face.
The director hadn't laughed so hard in a long time.
Last time, it was Hong Zhiyou who got the loan and food.
It seems that only Hong Zhiyou can make the director so happy.
This guy really has "supernatural powers".
……
An hour later, Jianfeng and the other man finished their meal, and most of the wine was still left.
"Here's the wine for you. Take it home and drink it slowly." Jianfeng put the cork on the bottle and gave it to Hong Zhiyou as a reward.
“Thank you, Director.
"Then I have to hide well, and wait until I return to Jingling and Jinhai in the future to drink with the director." Hong Zhiyou said.
“Good ambition.
"Wait until tomorrow!" Jianfeng praised.
The two of them got up and went to the reception room.
Did Hong Zhi follow in?
Waiting at the door with Wan'an.
"The chairman awarded this to the director back then." Hong Zhiyou pointed at the wine in his hand and whispered proudly to Wan'an.
"I know." Wan'an replied without any expression.
"Want a sip?" Hong Zhiyou asked.
Wanan turned his head away, not wanting to pay attention to him.
“If you don’t drink, you won’t have a chance.
“It was awarded by the chairman.
"Now the mainland has been lost again. If you want to have a sip of this, you don't know when you will get it."
Hong Zhiyou uncorked the bottle and handed it over.
Wan An still said nothing.
"If you don't want to drink it, then forget it." Hong Zhiyou pretended to close the cork of the bottle.
Wan An suddenly turned around and snatched it away.
There was no lip-syncing, just a sip from across the glass.
"Tsk."
He took a sip and handed it back to Hong Zhiyou.
"now it's right.
"People are not machines. It's boring to pretend all day long." Hong Zhiyou laughed.
"I'll be gone for a while, you keep an eye on it."
Wan'an wiped his mouth and walked away quickly.
After a while, he came back and there was no smell of alcohol in his mouth.
Hong Chi-you spoke to him.
He just occasionally said "hmm" in a nonchalant manner.
Hong Zhiyou felt that he was boring, so he waved his hand and went to the side to smoke.
When I came back, Jianfeng had finished his questioning and was explaining:
"Treat Zhang Wencheng well, and remember to be on high alert to ensure his safety.
“This person is the deputy director of the working committee.
"His surrender to us will be of great help in clearing out the Red Ticket underground organization and in propaganda."
"Yes, Director." Wan'an accepted the order.
Jianfeng turned around and gestured to Hong Zhiyou again.
Hong Zhiyou followed him to the garden outside.
"Zhang Wencheng has confessed.
"He said that Chai Qian is indeed supported by an important official from the National Government. This person has been lurking within our organization for a long time and holds a very high position." Jianfeng said coldly.
Hong Zhiyou looked at him and said nothing.
Jianfeng didn't say anything, and it was inconvenient for him to ask, and he couldn't ask. This was the rule for being a subordinate.
"It's Kuang Fuchun." Jianfeng said again.
"Secretary General Kuang?
"How could it be him? He is an old man in the government, and holds a very high position. Although he is not the most powerful official in the country, he is also very wealthy.
“There’s no reason for him to do this.
"Is it a mistake?"
Hong Zhiyou frowned, looking unbelievable.
“That doesn’t make sense?
"The greatest falsehood seems true, and the greatest treachery seems loyal.
“People are ultimately profit-seeking.
"There are many people in the government who are greedy for pleasure and all pursue profit. Even Hu Zongnan is considered a clean person.
“When I was the director of the Second Division of the Three Youth League, I sent people to investigate him. He had private dealings with some intelligence agents in the black market.
“It’s just that we didn’t have definitive evidence at the time.
"Besides, Du Yuming was seriously ill at the time, and Chen Cheng had just taken charge of the military affairs of the Northeast. My father was afraid that the generals of the Civil Affairs Department would be unstable, so he suppressed the investigation of Kuang Fuchun.
“But this person is indeed dishonest.
"Old Zheng also hid a notebook, which also recorded Kuang Fuchun.
“Including contact information and telephone code words.
"Wan An has already tried using the special telephone code, and Kuang Fuchun picked up the phone.
"It's confirmed, it's him."
As Jianfeng spoke, his eyes became softer as he looked at Hong Zhiyou.
This guy is not short of money.
The loyalty of a person who is not short of money will always be purer.
“What is the Director going to do?
"Kuang Fuchun is Chen Cheng's man. If you come forward, Dean Chen will inevitably think too much."
Hong Zhiyou analyzed.
"Yes.
"What do you think?" Jianfeng said.
"Doesn't Mao Renfeng like to take credit?
"In this way, the information group will arrange the Kuang Fuchun case, let Gu Zhengwen arrest the suspect, and Mao Renfeng investigate the case, and he will report directly to the chairman and the Ministry of National Defense.
"Didn't Zhou Zhirou just take over the Ministry of National Defense from Yan Xishan?
"Let him handle the dealings with Chen Cheng."
Hong Zhiyou pondered for a moment and said.
"Well, that's a good idea." Jianfeng readily accepted it after a little thought.
"You organize the confessions of Xu Li and Zhang Wencheng, hand them over to Mao Renfeng, and appoint Gu Zhengwen to investigate." He ordered.
"Okay, I'll do it right away." Hong Zhiyou accepted the order.
……
Secret Service.
After taking the medicine, Mao Renfeng had some porridge and a small piece of steamed bun, then asked his secretary to remove the food tray.
"Brother, your appetite is getting smaller and smaller. If you continue like this, your body won't be able to handle it." Mao Wanli frowned in pain.
"I've lost my appetite because of this Hong Zhiyou." Mao Renfeng shook his head.
"I'll find someone to kill this guy." Mao Wanli said angrily.
"okay.
“Stop talking useless nonsense.
"He is now the treasure of the chairman and Jianfeng, and he also has a share in my wife's Yuanshan Hotel project.
“Hong Ji-yo is dying.
"The first ones to be investigated are you and me. I don't want to be buried with him."
Mao Renfeng waved his hands in annoyance.
Everyone thought that the Military Control Commission could kill anyone it wanted.
In reality, it’s not that simple.
Back then, Wang Puchen and Ye Xiangzhi were ordered by the Chairman to get rid of the mayor of Peking, He Siyuan. The second young master Weiguo also wanted to kidnap Fu Zuoyi. They planned for several months, but ultimately failed.
Hong Zhiyou has many capable people around him and his security is thorough.
The assassination was almost impossible to accomplish.
"Brother, Jianfeng brought Xu Li and Zhang Wencheng to Bashengyuan in secret. I hope they won't reveal any big fish during the interrogation." Mao Wanli said with some concern.
“It’s hard to say.
"This Hong Zhi is too cunning. He kidnapped Old Zheng and now we have no trace of Old Zheng or our people. We can't even produce evidence to sue him.
“Who knows what Lao Zheng said.
"I am praying for the chairman's blessing now. I hope he doesn't put the blame on you and frame you."
Mao Renfeng sighed.
"He dares!
"I am loyal to the Party and the country..." Mao Wanli suddenly became angry.
"What's there to be afraid of?
“Remember Maguire?
"Don't you and I know who Ma Kui is?
“Although he didn’t survive Wan Lilang’s torture and betrayed the Military Control Commission, he and the Red Piao have always been enemies.
"If you say there's a dog on the roadside that has escaped from Yancheng, he'll pounce on it and bite it.
"Such a person has become an important figure in the Red Ticket Underground Emei Peak!
"Is there anything that Hong Zhiyou, Wu Jingzhong and other crazy people can't do?"
Mao Renfeng interrupted him and started cursing.
"Don't forget, our opponent now is Jianfeng.
"Will the chairman listen to you or me, or his son?"
he said again.
Mao Wanli immediately broke out in a cold sweat and said in a trembling voice:
"If I am wronged by them and the old man really doesn't investigate, I will shoot myself!"
"Okay, stop talking about these useless things. I just said that there is such a possibility. Right now, you have made a lot of contributions by catching red tickets, and the situation on the island has just improved. I believe Jianfeng will not tear his face at this time." Mao Renfeng waved his hand.
As he was speaking, the guard came in:
"Commander, Inspector Hong is back and wants to invite you and Team Leader Gu to meet in the conference room."
"Look, here it comes.
"Let's go meet him."
Mao Renfeng said with his hands behind his back.
