Chapter 364 Hong Zhi and Chen Cheng fight
"That's unreasonable!
"Mrs. Kuang, don't worry. I'll go ask Zhou Zhirou."
Chen Cheng’s first reaction was that someone was trying to cause trouble.
The chairman is now suspicious of himself.
But I'm not dead yet.
He is still the Executive Yuan President of Taiwan Island and the second-in-command.
Kuang Fuchun has followed me for many years. If I let him go to jail so easily, how can I stand firm in the political arena of Taiwan Island?
He hurried downstairs and picked up the phone:
“Hey, Zhirou.
"You still remember that I am your old leader.
"What happened to Kuang Fuchun?
"Who asked you to arrest him? What was the reason? What happened? Why didn't you inform me in advance?"
He asked in an official tone and aggressively.
“Hasn’t Baba Town killed enough people?
"The investigation has reached the heads of the generals in the Ministry of National Defense!
"Investigate as soon as possible. If nothing goes wrong, ask Wu Zhiqing to release the person for me."
After hanging up the phone, Chen Cheng returned upstairs: "Mrs. Kuang, Fuchun is under investigation. As long as he behaves honestly, the Ministry of National Defense will release him soon."
"Thank you, Dean Chen."
Mrs. Kuang expressed her gratitude and then left.
"President, Wu Zhiqing is in charge of the interrogation. Can you stand up for Kuang Fuchun?" the secretary wearing glasses whispered a reminder.
Everyone knows that Wu Zhiqing is the Chairman’s favorite.
It is most likely the Chairman's intention to let him be the judge.
"Why.
“It’s time to move.
"If I don't move, they will just think I'm dead. I have to at least make a sound and see how much I have with the chairman.
"I also want to have an idea in my mind."
What Chen Cheng cared about was not Kuang Fuchun, but the chairman's attitude towards him.
"I understand." The secretary nodded.
"so.
"If the chairman doesn't call tonight.
"Tomorrow morning, if they still don't release him, you will go and pick him up in person." Chen Cheng thought for a moment and then gave the order.
……
night.
Shilin official residence.
Jianfeng walked in and closed the door.
In the study room.
The chairman was wearing glasses and reading a book under a desk lamp.
“Father, the traitor has been found.
"It's Kuang Fuchun."
Jianfeng reported with a happy face.
“It’s indeed him.
“It seems that your pursuit was in the right direction when you were in Jingling.
"This person is still a thief."
The chairman put down his glasses, and his tone became more sad:
"When Kuang Fuchun was in Yuezhou, he followed me in opposing Wang Jingwei, and Xu Chongzhi was also a meritorious official.
“In Jingling.
"He bought villas, drove luxury cars, and resold intelligence for money. He can only be regarded as a lowly official.
“But when he got to the island, his contact with Hongpiao was no longer about money.
"This is speculation, trying to exchange my kingdom for his future.
"His heart is worthy of death."
"Yes, the people's hearts and minds have just settled down. If we cannot kill such people as a warning to the rest, we don't know how many people inside the party and the country will be ready to make moves." Jianfeng nodded.
"Who is interrogating?" asked the chairman.
"Originally, Mao Renfeng appointed Hong Zhiyou to go, but Zhou Zhirou was afraid of trouble if they were found out, so she gave it to Wu Zhiqing.
"These guys are old-fashioned and afraid of offending Chen Cheng.
"After going around in circles, the blame is finally placed on you and me, father."
Jianfeng said with some annoyance.
"Wu Zhiqing and Hong Zhiyou are still reliable.
"Tell them to investigate without worry. I will give a call to Chen Cixiu." The chairman said in a deep voice.
"The key is, is the evidence strong enough?"
Turning around, he asked again.
“Hard enough.
“There are both witnesses and material evidence.
“Chai Qian had the habit of keeping a diary, and he wrote down every detail of his meeting with Kuang Fuchun, including other participants.
“They had been together at least three times.
"Kuang Fuchun himself has supported Chai Qian with a lot of funds, and helped lobby to raise even more.
“According to the correction given by the captured merchant, it is confirmed without a doubt.
“In addition, we found a number of temporary special pass issuance orders waiting to be issued at his home in the afternoon.
“Among them, we are checking customs and airport registration.
"According to the list in Chai Qian's diary, the name of a woman named Zhu Yan was used for registration, and it was signed by Kuang Fuchun.
"It can be said that this case is ironclad and can be closed."
Jianfeng Road.
"But..." He hesitated a little when he said this.
"What's the matter?" asked the chairman.
“Dean Chen reacted strongly to this incident.
“In the afternoon, put pressure on Zhou Zhirou to release him.
“I had Hong Zhiyou deduct it.
"Father, do you think Dean Chen is the one behind Kuang Fuchun's…"
Jianfeng didn't dare to say anything further.
"Do you want to use Kuang Fuchun to put the blame on Chen Cheng and bring him down directly?" The chairman saw through his son's thoughts at a glance.
"This is indeed a godsend." Jianfeng raised his head and said bravely.
“It’s so short-sighted.
“Chen Cheng cannot be a red ticket, and even if he is, we cannot say that he is.
“The party-state still has to maintain some dignity.
"If Chen Cheng becomes a popular figure, can people's hearts still be stable?"
The chairman sneered.
Jianfeng tasted it carefully and nodded, "I was impatient."
"Chen Cheng can't be.
"But his confidant Kuang Fuchun must be it!"
The chairman pointed out something to him.
"What father means is..." Jianfeng pondered for a while.
“This is no small matter.
"When Chen Cheng really becomes a hindrance someday, Kuang Fuchun will be the best weapon to remove him.
"We may not use this weapon, or use it later, but we must have it."
The chairman said.
"I understand." Jianfeng nodded.
“In addition, the matter concerning the Red Ticket Underground Working Committee can almost be closed at this point.
“Kill one to warn the rest.
“The rest can investigate slowly in private, but don’t be lazy.
"I'm worried that if you check too hard, there will be too many people jumping and you won't be able to control them."
The chairman glanced at him and said.
Jianfeng’s qualifications have always been a question.
Checking red tickets, killing people, and showing off one's iron-blooded skills will help to increase one's prestige.
But everything should be done in moderation. If you go overboard, it will hurt people's hearts.
"Okay, father." Jianfeng accepted the order.
……
The next day.
Hong Zhiyou finished washing up and just went out when Wan'an blocked him at the door.
"Does Lao Wan have any instructions?" Hong Zhiyou asked.
"The director asked me to tell you something. No matter who tries to stop us, we must take down Kuang Fuchun.
"He'll have your back."
Wanan explained.
"Okay, please tell the director that even if the king of heaven comes, he should not make excuses for Kuang Fuchun." Hong Zhiyou accepted the order.
"Ok.
"I'm responsible for your security today."
Wanan got in the car and left.
"The director asked Wan An to deliver a message?
"Will Chen Cheng be the one to take action himself?"
After getting in the car, Yu Zecheng asked.
"definitely.
"This matter is very strange now. It is no longer as simple as our ticket case, but has risen to the level of a dispute between the chairman and Chen Cheng.
“It might be a disaster.
"Think about it, Chen Cheng has reasons why he must move.
“If he doesn’t move, what will those senior military and political officials in the Civil Engineering Department think of him?
"Watching someone die without helping?
“Who will dare to be loyal to him in the future?
“It was also a big blow to his influence in the military and politics.
“Besides, if he doesn’t move, others will suspect that he is guilty and there will inevitably be criticism.
"The biggest fear is that if he doesn't take action, Jianfeng might get angry with him and take advantage of the situation, which would then be very troublesome for him.
"So, for the sake of emotion, reason, and for his friends and himself, he must act.
“And it’s a big move.
"It would be best if we could bring the old man in so that the play can come to an end."
Hong Zhiyou analyzed very sophisticatedly.
"Will there be trouble if the chairman takes action?" Yu Zecheng said.
“This matter cannot be resolved unless the chairman steps down.
"If the chairman wants to continue to expand, it means he wants to purge Chen Cheng, and Chen Cheng will have no choice but to accept his fate.
"If the chairman acts as a peacemaker, Chen Cheng can walk down the stairs.
"This will not only not discourage the other generals in the civil engineering department, but also prove my importance as the second most important person in the government.
"So, Chen Cheng must make this move."
Hong Zhi has the Tao.
"Then do you think the Chairman and Jianfeng will take the opportunity to attack President Chen?" Yu Zecheng asked.
"Won't.
“Chen Cheng’s prestige is very high.
"The president has just returned to power and Taiwan is unstable. To accuse Chen Cheng of being a traitor is like dropping an atomic bomb on the island.
"If the old man is not crazy, he will not do such a stupid thing."
There was someone blocking the road ahead, so Hong Zhiyou honked the horn a few times and continued driving.
"Understood.
"Jianfeng specially asked Wan'an to come and pass on the message because he was worried that we were not strong enough to build the immortal bridge and the old man would not be able to come down to the world."
Yu Zecheng suddenly realized.
"Yes.
"If we don't argue with Chen Cheng too fiercely, how could we alarm the old man?
“The node is wrong, the chairman is out.
"It seems like they had planned this all along. Besides, the impact was minimal, which is a bit embarrassing."
Hong Zhi has the Tao.
"Why.
"The officialdom is as deep as the sea. It's more exciting than the opera in the theater and it's all interconnected." Yu Zecheng shook his head and sighed.
“Life is like a play.
“This world is just a makeshift team.
"You have to know how to act and how to act with others, otherwise you won't know when you will ruin someone's life." It's not easy.
Hong Zhiyou also felt emotional.
"Are you really leaving?" Yu Zecheng suddenly asked.
"Really go.
"Let's go together. There's not much meaning for you and Deputy Director Wu to stay here." Hong Zhiyou said.
"No.
"I, Deputy Minister Wu, and Zhang Wencheng have all decided to stay.
“As long as you stay, it will definitely work.
"At worst, we can clean up some of the Japanese descendants, help the children correct their textbooks, and add some private sentiments about the country and homeland that the old man allows.
"It can more or less provide some light and heat."
Yu Zecheng said with a smile.
"But have you ever thought that maybe you will never see Cuiping again in this life?" said Hong Zhiyou.
“When we got married, we discussed the issue of separation.
“She’s not afraid.
“I’m not afraid either.
"Coming out for revolution is for the whole family. We are not afraid of death even if we have to sacrifice our own family. Homesickness and separation are nothing to us.
“Besides, don’t we still have you, the know-it-all?
"I believe you will find Cuiping. If you have the chance, just send me a message or give me a phone call to let me know. I will be satisfied." Yu Zecheng said lightly.
"Okay." Hong Zhi nodded.
For those who truly have faith, even diamonds cannot take away their will, and money and beauty cannot disturb their hearts.
Yu Zecheng is a truly pure fighter.
This is also the reason why he admires Lao Yu and regards him as a close friend.
……
Arrived at the prison.
Gu Zhengwen beat Kuang Fuchun half to death.
Kuang Fuchun regarded all accusations as false accusations and refused to admit them.
“Secretary Wu, Inspector Hong.
"There's nothing we can do. We've already peeled off the skin on his back, but he still refuses to confess."
Gu Zhengwen threw away the bloody whip, lit a cigarette and walked over.
"Kuang Fuchun, confess, you can endure some physical pain.
“Don’t have any illusions.
"This is a case jointly supervised by the Bureau of Secrets and the Ministry of National Defense. No one can save you."
Wu Zhiqing shouted uprightly.
"Haha." Kuang Fuchun grinned with his bloody mouth and laughed dryly, his eyes still full of pride.
He has received the news.
Dean Chen wants to protect him.
As long as you are not dead, you can be released on bail.
Just stand firm. No matter how cruel these people are, they won't dare to kill you.
"If you don't admit it, then I'll beat you.
"Call Qin Shuangcheng. I don't believe he won't confess." Hong Zhiyou suggested.
"Yes."
Although Gu Zhengwen thought he was very capable, he was still a little inferior to the cruel and ruthless Qin Shuangcheng.
Ma Kui has very tough bones.
When it was in Qin Shuangcheng's hands, he dropped it all in just a few hours.
He walked aside and was about to make a phone call.
Then I heard the sound of leather shoes outside.
Chen Cheng's secretary Shao Jun walked in and said proudly, "Secretary Wu, the Executive Yuan has a regular meeting and needs Kuang Fuchun to attend. This is the warrant issued by President Chen to bring him in.
"I have to take the person away, is that ok?"
Wu Zhiqing glanced at the warrant and felt a little embarrassed: "Where is Chief Zhou? I have to ask him for permission to send someone."
"Commander Zhou went to inspect the Tainan Air Force Base. He said that you will be in charge of it." Shao Jun said.
"This..." Wu Zhiqing frowned.
In addition to being the Premier, Chen Cheng also held many other positions and was definitely the second most important person in Taiwan.
The warrant he issued was directly returned, which was not in accordance with procedures.
As for the report, according to the procedure, Zhou Zhirou would report it to the attendant's office and then convey it to the chairman.
Not to mention the tediousness.
The key is not necessarily to wait for the chairman's approval.
Should this case be tried or not?
He looked at Hong Zhiyou.
Hong Zhiyou was reading the materials and seemed to have not noticed Shao Jun at all.
"Ahem." Yu Zecheng reminded.
Hong Zhiyou then raised his eyebrows indifferently: "Whose order is this?"
"Chen Cheng, President Chen." Shao Jun raised his voice several degrees to show his dissatisfaction.
"No." Hong Zhiyou interrupted coldly.
"What do you mean?" Shao Jun thought he had misheard.
“This person is related to the pass, and this is a serious matter.
“The chairman had previously instructed the Bureau of Secrets to make the matter of tickets a top priority, with no upper limit, and anyone who passes will be investigated.
"I think Secretary-General Kuang is very stubborn, he must have a bigger backer.
"Who knows if that person is also a red ticket?"
Hong Zhiyou turned his head to look at him and said coldly.
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone present, including Wu Zhiqing, broke out in sweat.
Hong Zhiyou was clearly attacking Chen Cheng.
It implies that Dean Chen is most likely a red ticket.
"Who are you? You are so arrogant. Aren't you afraid of getting into trouble?" Shao Jun scolded.
“You don’t even recognize me?
"Don't you read newspapers?
"Hong Zhiyou, Director of the Inspection Division of the Bashengyuan Information Group, Chief Inspector of the Security Bureau.
“As for the trouble you mentioned, do you mean that I will offend Dean Chen?
"Ah!
"I'm sorry, except for the Chairman's order, nothing else can work for me."
Hong Zhiyou looked at him, as if he didn't take him seriously at all.
As he said this, he picked up the letter and tore it to pieces.
"well!
"Mr. Hong, just wait for me."
Shao Jun turned away angrily.
"Inspector Hong, half of the senior officers in this building are from the Civil Engineering Department. If Chen Cheng raises his hand, it will be very disadvantageous to you.
"You go first, and I'll take care of the rest."
When Wu Zhiqing saw that the situation was not right, he hurriedly advised against it.
"Deputy Minister Wu, they still dare to kill me?" Hong Zhiyou glanced at Wan An at the door and asked with a frown.
“Killing people shouldn’t happen.
“No matter who it is, there is no way that person could have brought a gun into the building.
“But they are outnumbered, and if they start fighting, you will suffer.
"Don't underestimate them. People in the Civil Engineering Department always stick together. Moreover, Fuchun is an important figure. If he gets angry, he will inevitably take action."
Wu Zhiqing whispered.
"Well, that's good. I haven't fought for a long time. It's a good time to stretch my muscles." Hong Zhiyou said with a fearless smile.
"You!" Wu Zhiqing had no choice but to look at Yu Zecheng.
Yu Zecheng shook his head slightly.
He knew that if he didn't make a big fuss, Chen Cheng and the Chairman would be in trouble.
There's no way to avoid this beating.
……
Executive Yuan Office.
the phone is ringing.
Chen Cheng picked up the receiver:
"it's me.
"What's going on?" He frowned.
"what?
“I tore it up, and you still dare to say that I have a pass?
"That's unreasonable!
"It's outrageous!"
Chen Cheng was furious.
After hanging up the phone, he rubbed his aching chest and began to think.
This Hong Zhi has evil intentions.
He stared at Kuang Fuchun, most likely wanting to bring this fire upon himself.
Dare to tear up your own warrant.
Dare to challenge.
Obviously there is someone behind this, either Jianfeng or the chairman.
No.
If you don't take action, you will just have to wait for death.
Whatever his purpose was, he had to make his attitude clear and make a fuss to get an explanation from the old man.
"Prepare the car and go to the Ministry of National Defense." Chen Cheng ordered.
When they arrived at the Ministry of National Defense, they heard that the old chief of staff had come. They were surprised that the secretary-general Kuang Fuchun had been lynched. At that moment, dozens of generals and colonels followed Chen Cheng to prison by car.
These guys are all big guys.
When they reached the door, the prison soldiers didn't dare to stop them.
Soon, Chen Cheng and his group rushed into the interrogation room with murderous intent.
"President Chen." Everyone stood up and saluted.
Hong Zhiyou is no exception.
To be clear, Chen Cheng is the superior and he still has to abide by the military regulations.
Chen Cheng asked coldly, "Why did Inspector Hong tear up my warrant?"
"President Chen, your secretary wants to take away a red ticket. I tore up the warrant because I was afraid that someone with ulterior motives would impersonate you and it was also for your own good." Hong Zhiyou said with a smile.
"You arrogant boy!
“If everyone tears up the orders of our Executive Yuan, what laws will the government rely on and how will the administration be carried out?
"I heard you still doubt my pass?"
Chen Cheng asked again.
Everyone suddenly fell silent, especially the officers who wished they could tear Hong Zhiyou to pieces.
Facing the sword-like gaze, Hong Zhiyou smiled calmly:
“Yes, I doubt your pass.
“I’m even more suspicious now!
“As the saying goes, those who are honest are honest themselves, and those who are honest do not form cliques.
"The evidence of the Fuchun Pass is irrefutable. Dean Chen is in a hurry to rescue him. If he is not hiding something, what else could he be doing?"
"What a courage!"
Chen Cheng was so angry that he almost vomited blood.
"I have followed the chairman and have been a soldier all my life. How can I allow a kid like you to slander me?"
He pointed at Hong Zhiyou, shaking with anger and unable to speak.
"Dean, why waste your time talking to him.
"Beat this kid to death!"
The officers behind him could no longer hold back when they saw their old leader being slandered. They swarmed in and started beating up Hong Zhiyou and the others.
Wu Zhiqing and Yu Zecheng wanted to stop the fight, but they were unable to do anything.
Wan'an and Hong Zhiyou wanted to make things bigger, so they naturally couldn't admit defeat. The two of them fought with dozens of officers from the office to the corridor and the hall.
……
Shilin official residence.
Yu Jishi walked in quickly and said, "Chairman, the prison called and said that Chen Cheng went to rescue the man himself, but Hong Zhiyou refused to let him go, so a fight broke out between the two sides.
“The guards at the prison didn’t dare to break up the fight.
"Jianfeng has already rushed over.
"Look..."
The chairman did not expect Hong Zhi to be so sensible and to be able to provoke Chen Cheng like this. He could not help but laugh:
“These two people.
"One is that he relies on his seniority.
"One is like a newborn calf that is not afraid of a tiger.
"It's rare to see generals fighting each other. Let's go and watch the fun."
