Chapter 365: Only I, Mao Qi 5, lost?
Chapter 365: I, Mao Qiwu, am the only one who lost?
Bay North Prison.
"Hong Zhiyou, fuck me!
"You are a country bumpkin from Xiaoshan, a scum with no military achievements, who made his fortune by clinging to women and smuggling, and yet you dare to slander Commander Chen.
"When we were following the Chairman on the battlefield and bleeding to death, you were still wearing open-crotch pants.
"You are such a lowly person, but you managed to bring this upon Dean Chen and Old Kuang.
"Brothers, beat them to death."
Among them, the director of the Third Department, Luo Lie, who was Chen Cheng's most trusted confidant, was the most furious. While yelling and cursing, he grabbed Hong Zhiyou and punched him several times.
"What are you still standing there for!
“Protect Inspector Hong.
"Go on!"
Prison warden Long Tao protected Hong Zhiyou while yelling at his men.
However, the people who were usually loyal were now standing aside and tiptoeing, and no one dared to go up.
Let’s not talk about Chen Cheng.
If you pick any one of Luo Lie’s kind, his lowest rank is colonel.
Who dares to stop the fight?
These bastards!
While Long Tao was cursing inwardly, he was punched in the left eye.
However, he still did not retreat, and he and Wan'an guarded Hong Zhiyou on both sides.
Wan'an, Long Tao and Hong Zhiyou are actually all very good fighters.
But the man who beat me was also a military man with powerful fists, and he used a rotation system.
They swarmed forward in a swarm.
Three against dozens.
There are no guns and no good sticks.
No matter how tough you are, you will only get beaten.
Of course, everyone knew it tacitly that Hong Zhiyou and Wan An were both popular figures in Jianfeng, and they could fight but they certainly could not aim to kill anyone.
It is nothing more than venting Chen Cheng's anger and demonstrating the cohesion of the Civil Engineering Department.
Soon the three men were unable to fight back and huddled in the corner with their heads in their hands, taking the beatings obediently.
"Do not fight……"
Yu Zecheng tried to stop the fight, but before he could finish his words, someone punched him in the face.
Immediately, his glasses shattered to the ground and his nose bled.
Everything in front of me was hazy and I couldn't see anything.
"Quick, call the Security Command, the Police Department, and ask Director Mao to come over." Wu Zhiqing shouted to those who were watching the fun on the side.
For a moment, the scene became a mess.
……
Secret Service, Office.
Mao Renfeng answered the phone and looked at Mao Wanli with some confusion:
"Sixth Brother, this is really strange.
"Hong Zhiyou and Chen Cheng got into a fight in prison!"
When Mao Wanli heard this, he clapped his hands in delight and said, "Brother, this is good news.
“It seems our strategy is working.
"Hong Zhiyou was arrogant because he had Jianfeng's support, while Chen Cheng was protective of his young protégé and showed off his seniority.
"When these two collide, it's like a match and a firecracker, they're bound to explode.
"Haha, as expected."
"I always feel something is not right. Hong Zhiyou has always been cunning. There is no reason for him to make his relationship with Chen Cheng so strained." Mao Renfeng frowned, puzzled.
“Who cares.
"Anyway, if the Jianfeng people fight with Chen Cheng, it will definitely be beneficial to us.
"With the support of Dean Chen and his wife, the position of deputy director of the General Political Department will be secure!"
Mao Wanli said happily.
If my eldest brother went to the General Political Department, according to the old rules of the Military Control Commission, it should be me, the chief secretary of the office, who would take the position.
Didn’t Big Brother take over Dai Li’s job from the secretariat?
Now there is hope.
"My right eyelid has been twitching a lot lately, and I feel really upset.
“When times are bad.
“It’s not necessarily a good thing.
"Let's go and take a look. Maybe the old man has been alarmed by now."
Mao Renfeng had an ominous premonition in his heart and walked out with his hands behind his back.
“Brother, you are just not fully recovered yet, and you are thinking too much.
“There isn’t so much bad luck.
"The people like Chen Dakai and Li Kai who were arrested before were all big fish.
"It's just that Xu Li and Zhang Wencheng are hiding something, which kind of spoils the fun.
"You are just too worried."
Mao Wanli comforted his elder brother.
"Hopefully."
Mao Renfeng smiled and got into the car.
Arrived at the prison gate.
Just then, Jianfeng also got out of the car.
"director."
"Director Mao."
"What's the situation?" Jianfeng asked after greeting.
"Not sure.
"Hong Zhiyou didn't report to me either. It was Minister Zhou who notified me of the news.
"Hey, what's going on in there?"
Mao Renfeng said something to Jianfeng in a neither light nor serious tone, then turned and said coldly to the guard.
“Director, Chief Mao.
"Officers from the Ministry of National Defense are surrounding Inspector Hong and beating him. The situation is not good." The guards still have good eyesight and can tell who is the real boss.
"Have the people from the National Police Agency arrived?" Jianfeng asked.
"We arrived, but they looked around and said they were going to call for backup and then left," said the guard.
"What a bunch of useless guys." Jianfeng cursed.
"Yes.
"Tang Zong, the Chief of Police, doesn't even know where to write his diary right now." Mao Renfeng joked with a smile.
"Director, shall we go in?" he asked.
"Director Mao, please go ahead. I'll wait a little longer."
Jianfeng thought for a moment, waved his hand and smiled.
If he went in now, given Mao Renfeng's temper, he would definitely add fuel to the fire. If Chen Cheng and those officers didn't buy it and attacked him as well, it would undoubtedly affect his prestige and face.
Ever since he was labeled a "swindler" during the Shanghai anti-corruption campaign, Jianfeng has learned a lesson and will certainly not take risks and do such foolish things without any guarantee again.
Hey, Zhiyou, hold on... He sighed in his heart and waited patiently at the door.
Ten minutes later.
The attendant room's motorcade finally appeared.
Yu Jishi and the guards got off the car first. After the security was sealed, the chairman, wearing a windbreaker, slowly walked out of the car.
"What's the situation?" asked the chairman in a deep voice.
“Still fighting.
"Hong Zhiyou will probably suffer a great loss after being surrounded and beaten by dozens of people." Jianfeng reported anxiously.
"Is Chen Cheng present?" the chairman asked.
"It should be." Jianfeng replied.
"Then no one will be killed." The chairman nodded firmly.
He knew this old subordinate well.
Be tactful and sensible in doing things.
Today I just want to get an explanation and see my attitude.
Even if Chen Cheng really wanted to kill Hong Zhiyou, MacArthur's friend, he would not have the courage to do so.
The chairman and his entourage walked steadily to the prison.
"The chairman is here!"
Yu Jishi shouted at him.
Blood suppression from the principal.
The officers who were surrounded and beaten were like mice seeing a cat, and they stood in a straight line almost reflexively.
"Committee!"
Chen Cheng salutes.
All the officers saluted in unison.
Hong Zhiyou struggled to stand up with his bruised face and nose, leaning against the wall.
The three men's clothes were already torn, and their faces were bruised and swollen like pigs' heads, especially Wan'an, who had two teeth kicked out and blood kept flowing from the corners of his mouth.
The scene was quite embarrassing.
"Chairman, Director." The three men straightened their tattered clothes and saluted with difficulty.
"absurd!
"Niang Xipi.
"If a group of military officers were to fight each other in prison, it would be disgraceful if the news got out.
"Ci Xiu, what's going on?"
The chairman cursed in dissatisfaction.
"This..." Chen Cheng lowered his head, unable to answer for a moment.
"Reporting to the chairman, Hong Zhiyou deliberately arrested Kuang Fuchun, tore up the warrant of President Chen, and openly slandered and accused President Chen of the pass. We were so angry that we took action." His old subordinate, the director of the Third Department, Luo Lie, reported at the top of his voice.
“That’s how the Secret Service teaches you the rules and does things.
"When Dai Li was alive, he still had some respect for President Chen.
"Who gave you the courage to act wildly and not know your own limitations?
"Qi Wu, what's going on?"
The chairman pretended to be dissatisfied and scolded Hong Zhiyou, but his eyes were actually glaring at Mao Renfeng.
"Commissioner, this matter..."
Mao Renfeng, who was watching the fun, was caught off guard.
Hong Zhiyou and Chen Cheng are causing trouble, so why should we care about him?
"Why don't you apologize to President Chen?" Jianfeng Zhengran reminded.
“My subordinates are not wrong.
"There is irrefutable evidence that Kuang Fuchun colluded with Hongpiao. Director Mao issued a strict order at an internal meeting of the Bureau of Secrets that those who are suspected of being subordinate to Hongpiao should be punished severely.
"Director Chen attempted to release Kuang Fuchun with only a warrant, disregarding Director Mao's months of hard work. As a member of the Security Bureau, I have every reason to suspect that Director Chen was behind the release."
Hong Zhiyou held his head high and chest puffed out, shouting the three words "Director Mao" loudly.
As soon as these words were spoken, Chen Cheng, Luo Lie and others looked at Mao Renfeng and his nephew at the same time.
Mao Renfeng felt numb all over.
Those bastards Hong Zhiyou and Jianfeng are waiting here.
He thought that by putting the blame on Wu Zhiqing, he could sit back and watch the fight.
Who would have thought that Hong Zhi had this mad dog that would catch and bite him.
Now in front of the chairman, he could neither refute nor testify that Jianfeng was controlling everything, as he was only a figurehead in charge.
Nor can we say that these were not our own doings.
That was exactly what the Jiang family father and son wanted, so they simply wiped out all his previous achievements and put them in the Bashengyuan data group.
For a moment, Mao Renfeng felt more bitter than coptis chinensis.
He never expected that he would become the protagonist while watching a play.
"Mao Qiwu, do you suspect my pass?" Chen Cheng had always been good at carrying Chiang Kai-shek's sedan chair, so he understood the situation and immediately pointed at Mao Renfeng and questioned him.
"President Chen, this is a misunderstanding.
“I just checked the Ministry of National Defense’s Kuang Fuchun based on intelligence, and I have absolutely no intention of targeting President Chen.
"Minister Zhou and Deputy Minister Wu can both testify."
A bitter smile appeared on Mao Renfeng's blue face.
"Xiang Qian, please say something." He looked at Zhou Zhirou.
Zhou Zhirou is also a smart person.
He quietly looked at the chairman, and seeing that he was not frowning and was quite kind, he immediately understood and said, "Yes, yes.
“This is a misunderstanding.
"In my opinion, Deputy Director Wu and Hong Zhiyou were ordered by Director Mao to interrogate Kuang Fuchun, so they are not to blame."
Zhou Zhirou tried to smooth things over with a friendly look on her face.
good good!
When Mao Renfeng heard that even Wu Zhiqing, a guy with a higher military rank and official position than him, was following his orders, he wanted to kill him on the spot.
This was not just a show, it was clearly an expanded criticism meeting targeting him.
Zhou Zhirou looked at Chen Cheng again:
"President Chen was probably concerned about his subordinates, and Director Luo of the Ministry of National Defense and others did not understand the truth of the Kuang Fuchun case, so the two sides were anxious and clashed.
"This is just a misunderstanding. There was a lack of communication."
"So is Kuang Fuchun a red ticket?" the chairman asked with a sudden cold expression.
Zhou Zhirou opened her mouth and was immediately choked with words.
The chairman is still the same chairman.
The mind of ghosts and gods is hard to predict.
Chen Cheng also trembled all over and got goose bumps.
The generals also stood with their heads bowed, and even their breathing became lighter.
For a moment, even a pin drop could be heard in the huge room.
No one dared to speak carelessly.
Saying that Kuang Fuchun is a red ticket is an allusion to Chen Cheng.
No one can figure it out, and who knows whether the Chairman is going to attack Chen Cheng.
Who knows, President Chen may become the second Han Fuju today.
"Qi Wu, you are the person in charge, you speak."
The chairman pointed at Mao Renfeng.
Mao Renfeng was already weak, and at this moment a thick layer of cold sweat had already seeped out of his forehead.
He licked his bitter lips, turned his head to look at Hong Zhiyou, and replied: "I don't... not sure, Inspector Hong has not reported the progress of the case to me yet.
"Deputy Minister Wu, Inspector Hong, how did the interrogation go?"
"Based on the existing intelligence, it is very likely." Seeing that Wu Zhiqing was about to open his mouth to help him bear the pressure, Hong Zhiyou raised his head and reported first.
The people present could not figure out what Chiang was thinking.
But he knew clearly.
The Chairman needs to maintain stability, and it is far from the time for Jianfeng to take office. He said this just to scare and suppress Chen Cheng, not to intentionally get rid of Chen Cheng.
“Highly likely?
“It seems that the trial is unclear.
"How about I try it?"
The chairman glanced at everyone and went to the interrogation room first.
The torture room.
When Kuang Fuchun heard the noise outside, he knew that his old leader had come to pick someone up, and there was hope for him if he went out.
I feel happy.
The door opened.
The chairman's face, as thin as a statue and cold with murderous intent, appeared outside the interrogation room.
"Mr. Chairman!" Kuang Fuchun's eyes widened and his whole body began to tremble.
"Chairman, President Chen, these are witnesses and material evidence.
"Through the testimony of witnesses and the identification of the handwriting on the issued pass, it is clear that it was issued by Kuang Fuchun himself."
After the Chairman, Chen Cheng and others took their seats, Wu Zhiqing handed the evidence to them.
The Chairman and Chen Cheng both frowned as they watched.
Especially Chen Cheng.
He didn't expect that Kuang Fuchun had such a deep relationship with Chai Qian.
For a moment, my heart was in suspense.
“Fuchun.
“Back in Yuezhou, you followed me.
"When I was in Jingling, someone reported you as a prostitute and a traitor, selling out intelligence from the Ministry of National Defense, but I just laughed it off.
"Soldiers, be brave and take responsibility.
"Back in the Whampoa Military Academy, you were one of the first instructors.
"Now, as the principal, I am asking you whether you have... a pass!"
The chairman asked with a hint of gentleness and compassion in his eyes.
This made Kuang Fuchun's defenses collapse instantly as he recalled the past, and tears flowed uncontrollably:
"Principal, Fuchun is guilty!"
puff.
He slid off the chair, dropped to his knees and burst into tears.
"boom!"
The chairman's face darkened. He took off his white gloves and slammed them on the interrogation table. He shook his windbreaker and walked away quickly.
Everyone followed closely with their hearts hanging in the air.
"Principal, Fuchun is guilty and has failed to live up to your cultivation.
"Principal, Fuchun deserves to die!"
Kuang Fuchun's wails still echoed in the interrogation room.
The chairman came directly to Zhou Zhirou's office.
He sat in the chair without saying a word.
Zhou Zhirou, Mao Renfeng, Chen Cheng and others did not dare to breathe and stood with their heads bowed.
"Even Kuang Fuchun has betrayed me, who else can I trust?"
After a long time, the chairman sighed.
"Chairman, I was reckless. Please punish me." Chen Cheng looked up and said.
"You are still loyal to the Party, the country, and me.
“It was because of my reputation that I was taken advantage of.
"Now that you have taken off your military uniform and are the leader of the Executive Yuan, you must curb your military behavior and guard against arrogance and impetuosity.
"Otherwise, sooner or later you will be misled by your temper."
The chairman made the decision half-confronting and half-encouragingly.
Chen Cheng secretly breathed a sigh of relief and bowed respectfully: "I will remember the Chairman's instructions."
"And you, who hold important positions, are so arrogant and unreasonable that you dare to storm the prison and beat up the officers handling the case from the Bureau of Confidentiality.
"Zhirou, put them on record and fine each of them one year's salary."
The chairman looked at the generals again and said unhappily.
"Yes, Chairman." Zhou Zhirou quickly accepted the order.
"Qi Wu.
"You have no way of managing your subordinates, you do not enforce strict rules, and you allow your subordinates to commit crimes.
"Even a government official like Ci Xiu dared to slander and contradict him, and openly tore up the administrative order. Is there anything that your Bureau of Secrets would not dare to do?
"You guys are a bit too brave!"
When it was Mao Renfeng's turn, the chairman, who had originally been lenient with the government, suddenly became stern in his tone.
This sentence was undoubtedly like a bolt from the blue. Mao Renfeng was so shocked that his legs went weak and he almost fell to the ground.
Hong Zhiyou is from Jianfeng.
Wu Zhiqing is Zhou Zhirou's man.
It’s none of my business.
"Commander, I failed to discipline my subordinates. I beg you to punish me." Mao Renfeng replied in a trembling voice.
"Qi Wu.
"I see that you are confused now and you don't know anything.
“My health isn’t good either.
“It would be better to take a leave of absence from work and recuperate for a few months, and then come back to take charge of the overall situation after your health has recovered.
"Mao Wanli will be in charge of the Bureau of Secrets for the time being."
The Chairman knew that he was deeply rooted and did not condemn him out of hand.
"I obey your orders." Mao Renfeng said with his head down.
“Hong Ji has.
“Young and full of energy, they are fearless!
"Without any evidence, you are accusing and slandering your superiors. I think you should quit your job as the Director of Inspection. Suspend your salary for a year. When you have reflected on your mistakes and come to your senses, you can return to the Security Bureau and resume your post.
"Also, shouldn't you apologize to Dean Chen?"
The chairman stared at him coldly.
Hong Zhiyou knew that the play should end here, and he bowed to Chen Cheng quickly: "President Chen, I was anxious to handle the case and spoke without restraint. I apologize to you."
"The chairman said this was a misunderstanding.
"I was also negligent in not noticing that Kuang Fuchun was colluding with the Red Tickets. If you hadn't insisted on your opinion, this person who brought disaster to the country and the people would have almost gotten away with it."
Chen Cheng was safe and sound, and he immediately patted Hong Zhiyoudao generously.
"Chairman, do you think we should continue investigating this case?" Zhou Zhirou asked cautiously.
"We've been investigating for so long, it's time to end it. Let's stop here." The chairman pondered for a moment, then stood up and said.
"Nowadays, it is difficult for the party and the country to revive. You should take Kuang Fuchun as a warning and encourage each other."
He looked at everyone and gave earnest instructions.
"Yes!" everyone shouted loudly.
Arriving at the door, waiting to see the chairman off.
"Zhiyou, you must have worked hard during this interrogation. Don't forget to come to the Bureau of Investigation to clean up." Mao Renfeng said to Hong Zhiyou with hatred.
“Thank you for the reminder, Sir.
"You don't look well. Don't forget to see a doctor." Hong Zhiyou said with a smile.
"Yes.
"Now that we are both free, it's time to take care of ourselves.
"Take care of yourself."
Mao Renfeng smiled threateningly, stood up and got into the car.
Return to the Secret Service office.
puff!
Mao Renfeng, who was suffering from internal anger, could no longer suppress the stuffy feeling in his chest and spat out a mouthful of blood.
"Brother!" Mao Wanli was shocked.
“What a good trick, Mr.
"Everyone laughed it off and forgot their grudges, but I, Mao Qiwu, was the only loser.
"I originally wanted to let Jianfeng and Chen Cheng fight each other, and we would reap the benefits.
"Now it seems that I underestimated Jianfeng and Hong Zhiyou!"
Mao Renfeng closed his eyes and smiled bitterly.
"Yes.
“Brother put a lot of effort into investigating the case of the Working Committee, but in the end he was forced to take paid sick leave.
"If we declare the case closed at this time, wouldn't it be a waste for Jianfeng to get such a good harvest?"
Mao Wanli cursed, adding fuel to the fire.
When Mao Renfeng heard this, his chest ached again. He endured the surging blood in his throat with a painful look on his face:
“Don’t worry, there is still a chance.
"At least you're still in the Secret Service.
"It's not that easy for Jiang Jianfeng to step on me.
"Wanli, I will be away for a few months. You must take good care of the affairs of the bureau. As long as the Detection and Prevention Group, the Third Division, the Second Division and the General Affairs Division are in our hands, we will still be the most important force in the intelligence line."
he warned.
"Don't worry, big brother. Director Gu and Director Ye have always been loyal to you. Let alone taking a two-month break, even if you take a two-year break, the Security Bureau is still named Mao." Mao Wanli said.
"Yeah." Mao Renfeng nodded with a relieved look.
……
Prison gate.
Jianfeng looked at Hong Zhiyou, who was bruised and ragged:
“Let’s go, the Secret Service won’t allow you to go to Basheng Garden.
"I have something to tell you."
……
