Chapter 237

Jingling.

Jiang Jianfeng walked into the room, and the Generalissimo was looking at the sand table.

Hearing footsteps, he couldn't help but frown slightly.

"Walk slowly and steadily.

"Those who achieve great things have a calm heart and clear wisdom.

"Pay attention to details in everything.

"If you are not steady, you will have no dignity, and people will not respect or fear you in their hearts."

The Generalissimo didn't look back and said calmly.

"Yes, Father." Jiang Jianfeng took a slight breath and straightened his chest.

"Entering March soon, Hu Hu Zongnan will hold a swearing-in ceremony tomorrow, with 230,000 troops from six routes launching an attack on Yancheng; no matter what, we can turn it upside down." The Generalissimo smiled and pointed at the sand table.

"Yes.

"If this battle is won, the Red bandits will have no place to stay.

"Our army can use the majestic morale to capture most of the Red bandits in East China, Central China, and the Northeast in one go.

"In this way, the country can be stabilized."

Jiang Jianfeng also said excitedly.

"Telegraph Hu Hu Zongnan to go all out; all required supplies and military equipment will be provided upon request; at all costs, Yancheng must be taken." The Generalissimo said.

"Yes, Father." Jiang Jianfeng said.

"There are two more things that need Father's decision.

"Kang Ze has visited many White House officials in North America and is very supportive of constitutional government; since returning, he has been actively campaigning in Jingling.

"This person has always considered himself your shadow and is spreading rumors that he wants to seek the position of Vice President in the future constitutional government.

"What do you think..."

He asked in a low voice.

"Kang Ze has very rich work experience in the political sector and made great contributions when suppressing bandits in Ganxi back then.

"You must put personal grudges aside.

"As a meritorious official, you can't block everyone's path.

"After finally traveling around the world, if we don't give him a chair upon his return, it won't look good to the people below.

"Furthermore, you are already the Director of the Second Department of the Youth League, and Kang Ze can't stir up any waves in the Three People's Principles Youth League; next month is the Legislative Committee election, give him a Legislative Committee member position, concurrently serving as a Standing Committee member of the Party Headquarters.

"He can also continue to serve as an Executive Committee member for the Youth League.

"Since we are doing a favor, give enough grace."

The Generalissimo looked at him and said in a calm tone.

"Yes, Father." Jiang Jianfeng nodded respectfully.

"In addition, Zheng Zheng Jiemin sent Lu Qiaoshan to Beiping as an inspector of the Second Department to clean up Ma Ma Hansan.

"According to my people's report, Lu Qiaoshan's moves are very big.

"First, he pressured the Beiping court to sentence Kawashima Yoshiko to death.

"Now he might be about to take heavy action against Ma Ma Hansan.

"I'm afraid Ma Ma Hansan won't be able to hold out, Beiping will be unstable, and Li Li Zongren and Fu Fu Zuoyi will have ideas."

He reported again.

"Kawashima Yoshiko, let her be sentenced.

"As for Okamura Yasuji, communicate with the Americans and let the International Military Tribunal relax; this person was the most experienced commander in suppressing tickets in North and East China, and the Ministry of National Defense's advisory group suggests he can be hired as a special commissioner to guide our army in suppressing bandits.

"I think it is feasible."

The Generalissimo said.

"Father, this is not good.

"Okamura Yasuji is a special-class war criminal, a butcher with hands stained with blood." Jiang Jianfeng immediately opposed.

"Let's see first.

"If Hu Hu Zongnan can wipe out the Red tickets, this matter will be pressed here.

"If not, Okamura Yasuji still has value.

"The Red bandits are growing stronger day by day, and the people along the North China and Huaihai lines would rather risk beheading to transport grain for them; this is a sign of losing the hearts of the people.

"Once those people escape the encirclement, they can turn around and conjure up 100,000 or a million troops for you.

"Time waits for no one."

The Generalissimo sighed and said.

He trusts Hu Hu Zongnan.

But for some reason, he always feels very uneasy and restless.

During the first and second cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, and during the Double Tenth negotiations, he had dealings with that person; regardless of his demeanor or ambition, he is certainly not an ordinary person, which is worrying.

Jiang Jianfeng remained silent.

The Generalissimo didn't try to persuade him either.

Jiang Jianfeng has a stance and spirit, which is a good thing.

It's just that the party and state are seriously ill right now, and he has to resort to various folk remedies and evil methods, using heavy and fierce medicine to "save his life" first.

As for whether he will be infamous for ten thousand years or leave a name in history, it is worthless in the face of the great cause.

"Father, Zheng Zheng Jiemin's wife, Ke Ke Shufen, has gone to Beiping.

"Should I say a word to Zheng Zheng Jiemin... let him stop at the right point."

Jiang Jianfeng asked.

"Do you think Zheng Zheng Jiemin doesn't know?

"His integrity is for outsiders to see.

"Do you know why I tacitly approve?

"Because Zheng Zheng Jiemin doesn't take it out. Since that's the case, why not let him take it.

"Today's banks are unreliable, and foreigners and stocks are even less trustworthy.

"That Hong... whatever from Jinhai, how did he raise money? Wasn't it by making a deal with the Americans to cut the pockets of those big households?

"Let Zheng Zheng Jiemin take it.

"Let Wu Wu Jingzhong and the others take it.

"Their conscience is far cleaner than Kong, Song, and Chen; the more they take, the better.

"Everything right now is focused on the war; wait until the world is at peace before focusing on political affairs.

"The Hong fellow cuts the big households, and you cut Zheng Zheng Jiemin and the others.

"This money will always be spinning in our palms."

The Generalissimo said earnestly.

"Understood." Jiang Jianfeng lowered his eyelids.

He still held a different view.

The war must be fought.

The economy must be grasped.

Just fighting wars without grasping corruption or revitalizing the economy will only lose more hearts and provide a natural breeding ground for the Red tickets, which is completely treating the symptoms but not the root cause.

"Then Ma Ma Hansan..." Jiang Jianfeng said.

"Let him suffer a little and spit some out for Zheng Zheng Jiemin.

"We'll save him later.

"In this way, this King of North China will work more wholeheartedly."

The Generalissimo said.

"Yes, Father." Jiang Jianfeng said.

……

The next day.

Office building of the Ministry of National Defense Inspection Team.

Deputy Team Leader Zhang Zhang Zhiping is reviewing Ma Ma Hansan's materials.

"Chuntang, do you think this person can be delayed for a while?" Zhang Zhang Zhiping pulled out Liang Yueshan's materials and handed them to the other deputy team leader, Li Chuntang.

"Liang Yueshan?

"This person is Ma Ma Hansan's confidant subordinate.

"Team Leader Lu probably won't agree."

Li Chuntang said.

"I've read his materials; they have no significance for pointing out Ma Ma Hansan.

"Continuing to interrogate him won't yield results.

"How about this, stop the torture for now and let him go home.

"Let's interrogate him after we collect more favorable evidence."

Zhang Zhang Zhiping said.

As he spoke, he pulled his chair closer to Li Chuntang and whispered:

"I'll treat you to a meal when we return to Jingling."

Officialdom matters are nothing more than you helping me and me helping you; everyone has been colleagues for many years, so naturally, it's understood at a hint.

Li Chuntang agreed very readily: "Fine.

"You are the first deputy team leader, you have the final say."

"Xiao Liu, go to the interrogation room and release Liang Yueshan." He ordered.

Outside, Lu Qiaoshan, who was full of anger, got out of the car, clutched his briefcase, and walked quickly toward the office building.

Just as he reached the door, he saw two section members helping Liang Yueshan walk out.

"What's going on?

"Who let him out?"

Lu Qiaoshan hurriedly stopped the two.

"It was ordered by Deputy Team Leader Zhang." The section member said.

"Deputy Team Leader Zhang?"

Lu Qiaoshan frowned and wanted to pull the person back.

On second thought, he pondered, rubbed his chin with his fingers, looked at Liang Yueshan coldly, and said:

"Since it's Deputy Team Leader Zhang's intention, then let him go."

"Thank you, Inspector Lu." Liang Yueshan breathed a sigh of relief and said gratefully.

Last night, his wife went to Jingling overnight to give gifts to his old classmate, and he didn't expect to be released today.

Director Ma really pointed out a bright path.

Lu Qiaoshan returned to his office with a gloomy face.

The internal struggle in Jingling is far more intense than in Jinhai.

Lu Qiaoshan is the Deputy Director of the Sixth Department and concurrently the Director of the Intelligence Section.

But above him is the Director of the Sixth Department, Han Han Guoqing; Han Han Guoqing is a veteran who has sat in the Sixth Department for many years and is naturally very dissatisfied with Lu Qiaoshan's rocket-like promotion.

Moreover, Han Han Guoqing has a good relationship with Sun Ke and Zhang Qun.

His background is not afraid of Lu Qiaoshan at all.

Therefore, the two have always had a bad relationship.

Why did Zhang Zhang Zhiping dare to make the decision to release the person without the signature of his own team leader?

It's because he is Han Han Guoqing's person.

"Li Zhong, check the call records from last night and Deputy Team Leader Zhang's whereabouts." Lu Qiaoshan said in a deep voice.

Lu Qiaoshan came from an intelligence background.

What he is best at is wiretapping and tracking.

Arriving in Beiping, the phones in the inspection team's office building had long been secretly bugged by him.

Soon, Li Zhong returned:

"Director Lu, it's clear; last night, Liao Haoyun from the Jingling Political Security Bureau called Zhang Zhang Zhiping.

"Liao Haoyun and Liang Yueshan were classmates.

"Liang Yueshan's wife rushed to Jingling last night to plead for mercy with Liao Haoyun."

After listening, Lu Qiaoshan raised the corner of his mouth and laughed: "Heh, so it happened here.

"I know, you go down first."

After Li Zhong left, Lu Qiaoshan's face was full of haze, and his eyes flashed with fierce light:

"Good for you, Zhang Zhang Zhiping, I was just worrying about not having a chance to deal with you.

"You're rushing to your death.

"You're still too young to play against me."

Just as he was pondering, another subordinate knocked on the door and walked in, approaching to report in a low voice: "Director Lu, the Li Ya you asked me to watch went to Sixi Tea House.

"I asked the boss privately.

"The boss said Li Ya showed his Confidentiality Bureau credentials and disguised himself and several Third Section people as waiters in the shop.

"The boss didn't dare ask what they wanted to do specifically, and couldn't find out."

"Sixi Tea House?" Lu Qiaoshan frowned.

Back then, he was set up by Li Ya at Fuyun Tea House.

Could it be that he wants to pull another one today?

That's not right.

He didn't have an appointment today.

What kind of medicine is this guy selling in his gourd?

Lu Qiaoshan frowned.

"Old Lu, not busy, right?" Just as he was muttering, Zhang Zhang Zhiping stood at the door and asked with a smile.

"You go down first."

Lu Qiaoshan ordered the section member, then stood up with full enthusiasm like a spring breeze to welcome him: "Old Zhang, quick, the coffee is almost squeezed, have a cup."

"No, last time I had a cup at your place, my heart beat fast, and I felt nauseous; I almost thought I was poisoned.

"I don't have the fortune to enjoy such good stuff, you slowly savor it, brother."

Zhang Zhang Zhiping smiled, crossed his legs, and sat down.

"Anything up?"

Lu Qiaoshan hated others talking about his coffee the most, and his crossed legs were higher than his own; the smile on his face couldn't help but twist.

"It's like this, Chuntang and I discussed it briefly this morning and felt that Liang Yueshan couldn't interrogate anything of value, so we released him.

"Came to report this to you."

Zhang Zhang Zhiping habitually shook his leather shoes and said.

"What's there to report, you are a veteran of the Sixth Department, an old big brother.

"Isn't it just a Liang Yueshan?

"In the future, for such small matters, you can just look after it yourself, brother."

Lu Qiaoshan was annoyed, but he was smiling and in a tone of being easy to talk to.

"Fine.

"With your words, brother, I'm at ease." Zhang Zhang Zhiping stood up, straightened his coat, and prepared to leave.

"Why be so polite, we are all our own people.

"Working out here, we have to huddle together for warmth, otherwise how can we take down Ma Ma Hansan and go back to report to Deputy Minister Zheng.

"What do you want to eat at noon, I'll order the cafeteria to make it for you."

Lu Qiaoshan smiled and sent him to the door.

"No.

"I have a meal appointment with a friend in Beiping at noon.

"Want to go together?"

Zhang Zhang Zhiping was very satisfied with Lu Qiaoshan's humble attitude and asked with his chin raised.

"Forget it.

"In case it's a red-faced confidant, it would be a shame for me to go." Lu Qiaoshan said.

"Going!"

Zhang Zhang Zhiping waved his hand and walked away with his hands in his pockets.

Staring at his background, the smile on Lu Qiaoshan's face disappeared instantly, and he spat: "Dog thing!

"Putting on airs in front of me.

"Sooner or later, you'll see."

Wait, Lu Qiaoshan suddenly reacted.

Zhang Zhang Zhiping has a meal appointment?

Li Ya went to Sixi Tea House again.

Could this be in the middle... Lu Qiaoshan pondered, his eyes suddenly shining, as if he had captured something.

He walked quickly back to his desk, took out paper and pen, and started writing and drawing.

Liang Yueshan asked someone to find Zhang Zhang Zhiping.

If Li Ya is designing to trap Zhang, and the reputation of the inspection team is not guaranteed, then when the media and newspapers stir it up, he, the inspection team leader, will be hard to blame.

"Wonderful.

"Wonderful!

"Long time no see, Li Ya's brain has grown, his moves are getting more poisonous, and he's learning to trap people in circles.

"Playing against me, right?

"I'll play with you properly."

With a turn of his mind, Lu Qiaoshan couldn't help but laugh.

He was just worrying about not finding a way to deal with Zhang Zhang Zhiping.

Isn't this just someone delivering a pillow when you're sleepy, isn't it a coincidence?

……

In the alley.

Hong Hong Zhiyou was gnawing on braised chicken feet with relish.

Li Ya curled his lips and smiled: "What's so good about this stuff? If you want to eat, eat big fish and meat, so your stomach will be at ease."

"You have psychological trauma from being hungry.

"Is it filling?"

Hong Hong Zhiyou laughed.

"Suppose so, anyway, whenever I think about being able to eat my fill and eat well, I feel like I haven't lived this life in vain." Li Ya shrugged.

"Liang Yueshan was released.

"To show gratitude to Zhang Zhang Zhiping, Madam Liang invited him to eat at Sixi Tea House.

"My people reported this morning.

"Madam Liang exchanged a lot of gold bars and US dollars these days; it should be today at noon that the bribe is traded."

He swallowed his saliva, took a chicken foot, and gnawed while saying.

"That's great.

"Take him down, and no matter how arrogant Lu Qiaoshan is, he'll have to suffer.

"I'll have Ma Ma Hansan arrange the manpower right now."

Hong Hong Zhiyou said.

"Don't.

"I've already arranged it; Ma Ma Hansan's subordinates are a mixed bag, and if it's messed up, wouldn't we miss the opportunity?" Li Ya said hurriedly.

"I'm just worried about your safety." Hong Hong Zhiyou was waiting for this sentence, but he was very polite on the surface.

"Brother.

"I appreciate your feelings.

"This is my business with Lu Qiaoshan, and I must personally nail him to Beiping."

Li Ya pursed his lips, his hatred like iron.

"Then I wish you victory, brother." Hong Hong Zhiyou said.

……

Noon, Sixi Tea House.

Li Ya disguised himself as a waiter and started running around busy in the shop.

Around twelve o'clock.

Madam Liang twisted her hips and walked to the counter: "Boss, surname Liang, booked a private room this morning."

"It's Madam Liang.

"The private room has been reserved for you, please.

"Waiter, take the Madam to the room."

The boss looked at Li Ya and ordered.

As an honor student from the Qingpu Class, Li Ya is also proficient in disguise and reconnaissance; he said with a smile and harmony:

"Madam, please come in."

Leading Madam Liang to the private room, Li Ya pushed the door open and said:

"How is this room, quiet and clean."

"It's okay."

The private room exuded the mixed smell of food and grease that had seeped into the table wood over the years; Madam Liang shrugged her nose uncomfortably.

"Alright, Madam, the shop's signature dishes are on the wall, you take a look and order."

Li Ya bowed and handed over the menu and pen.

"You take a look and order. Just pick the best and most expensive ones.

"Also, the tea must be top-notch.

"The guest I'm inviting is a VIP; if the hospitality is poor, tearing down your tea house is also possible."

Madam Liang ordered arrogantly.

As the wife of a director of a popular government office, she is used to living in luxury, so naturally, she has to talk about style.

"Don't worry.

"No one who has been to our shop has ever been dissatisfied.

"You sit down first, I'll prepare it for you right away."

Li Ya walked away quickly.

Soon, Zhang Zhang Zhiping walked in with his briefcase and looked around:

"Boss, I'm Madam Liang's friend."

"Sir, please follow me."

Li Ya smiled and led him into the private room, closing the door behind him.

Soon.

Li Ya had his subordinate, acting as a waiter, serve the dishes.

He went straight to the utility room on the second floor.

"How's the signal?" Li Ya asked.

"No problem."

The section member handed the headset to Li Ya.

Li Ya sat down, and Madam Liang was thanking him in a gentle and soft voice.

……

"Are the dishes all served?"

Inside the private room, Zhang Zhang Zhiping said.

"Sir, there is still a charcoal-grilled lamb that hasn't been served." The waiter said.

"No need to serve it.

"Without my orders, no one is allowed to come in."

Zhang Zhang Zhiping showed his inspector credentials.

"Yes, yes, officer." The waiter nodded hurriedly.

"Team Leader Zhang, this time my old Liang's matter is all thanks to your great kindness, which allowed him to be preserved.

"This is a little bit of our sincerity, I hope you accept it."

Madam Liang took out an exquisite small leather suitcase; once opened, it was full of bright gold bars and more than a dozen thick stacks of ten-yuan US dollar bills.

Zhang Zhang Zhiping took a look and closed it to accept it.

Madam Liang bent down gracefully to pour him tea.

Her outfit today was exceptionally eye-catching: a white hollow-out shawl outer garment, and inside was a dark blue bird-and-flower cheongsam, wrapping her ripe, charming figure in a curvy way.

Especially the arc of her chest and the perky buttocks when pouring tea made Zhang Zhang Zhiping swallow his saliva secretly.

Madam Liang is not particularly beautiful.

But her makeup is elegant and very feminine; it's not the kind of seductive hook, but a kind of impulse that makes one pity her and want to crush her.

"Team Leader Zhang, I, I'll do it myself."

He took advantage of grabbing the teapot to touch her snow-white jade hand.

Madam Liang trembled all over.

Facing him, she saw Zhang Zhang Zhiping's eyes shining, full of greed and urgency.

"Team Leader Zhang, let's eat first." Madam Liang's face turned red, slightly panicked.

"Eat, eat."

Zhang Zhang Zhiping, whose hair was a bit sparse, combed back neatly, and wearing round-rimmed glasses, smiled and nodded.

Just as he picked up his chopsticks, Zhang Zhang Zhiping deliberately slipped his hand, and with an "oops," the chopsticks fell to the ground.

He dived under the table, pretending to pick up the chopsticks.

He happened to catch a glimpse of Madam Liang's long jade legs wrapped in smooth silk stockings under the cheongsam.

And a section of snow-white feet under the purple-pink high heels.

The original thought was like a boiling pot of oil, rolling more and more uneasily.

Seeing him picking up chopsticks endlessly, and not wanting to urge him, Madam Liang thought of his greedy eyes just now, and subconsciously protected the hem of her cheongsam to prevent exposure.

This lady-like action only further stimulated Zhang Zhang Zhiping's lust.

He swallowed a mouthful of saliva wildly, his evil heart arose, and he suddenly grabbed Madam Liang's foot, took off her high heel, and held it to gnaw.
