Chapter 240: This order is not easy to collect

"Zhiyou.

"You really are Brother Shan's lucky star.

"Why did you suddenly come to Beiping?"

Lu Qiaoshan was in a great mood and asked with a bright smile.

"Firstly, to see Brother Shan.

"Secondly, Li Ya is messing around here, and the Station Chief is afraid you'll misunderstand, so he sent me to clarify and see if I can persuade Li Ya to go back."

Hong Zhiyou said.

"That's right.

"Ke Shufen has been squatting in Beiping for a few days waiting for me.

"If I don't squeeze out some oil, let alone Ma Hansan, I won't be able to pass the test myself.

"To tell you the truth, if you hadn't come, I would have gone to find you.

"She's urging me every day, scolding me every day.

"My head is numb."

Lu Qiaoshan shook his head and spat out his bitterness in a low voice.

"I've heard of Madam Zheng's 'prestige', even Shen Zui is afraid of her; Old Lu, you've suffered.

"Fine, I'm staying at the Four Nations Hotel, you can find me when you have time."

Hong Zhiyou saw that the chat was about enough and stood up.

"Rest assured, as long as Ma Hansan softens and spits out the stuff, I'll definitely invite you to dinner," Lu Qiaoshan stood up and said.

After sending Hong Zhiyou away, he walked toward the interrogation room with a steady gait:

"It seems I still have to go out myself."

Arrived at the interrogation room.

Li Chuntang and the others hurriedly stood up and let Lu Qiaoshan sit in the middle.

"Go, feed him some water and rice porridge.

"See his mental state.

"If he's confused, give him an injection."

Lu Qiaoshan ordered coldly.

Immediately, someone splashed water to wake Ma Hansan and fed him water and porridge.

Ma Hansan wouldn't open his mouth, so these people forced it in.

"You all go down first." Lu Qiaoshan waved his hand.

Li Chuntang and the others retreated.

"Ma Hansan, stop holding on.

"Today we won't talk about corruption, let's talk about Kawashima Yoshiko."

Lu Qiaoshan stared straight at Ma Hansan.

"Kawashima Yoshiko, wasn't she sentenced to death by you?

"What does she have to do with me."

Ma Hansan sneered weakly.

"Nothing to do with you?

"Then let's talk about the Longquan precious sword?"

A cold intent rose in the corner of Lu Qiaoshan's mouth.

Ma Hansan's face twitched, and a trace of panic appeared in his originally calm pupils.

He was pretending.

Otherwise, this beating would never end.

Mentioning Kawashima Yoshiko was also Hong Zhiyou's idea.

This matter could make him afraid, but it wouldn't really do anything to him.

After all, Dai Li was already dead.

Kawashima Yoshiko, in order to protect some war criminals, had privately made an exchange with Ma Hansan.

Lu Qiaoshan had already sentenced her to death.

This woman had a hard bone, so naturally, she wouldn't really spill the beans about what happened back then.

Even if she did, Ma Hansan could deny it flatly, biting back that Kawashima Yoshiko was desperate and biting people randomly to save her life.

Anyway, the people who could prove he had been captured by the Japanese were basically all gone.

"I, I don't understand what you're talking about." Ma Hansan deliberately avoided his eyes.

"I studied Western psychology for a while.

"When a person is afraid, their eyes will betray their soul.

"Ma Hansan, you're panicked."

Lu Qiaoshan pulled his chair closer and stared into his eyes.

"Nonsense." Ma Hansan turned his head away and didn't look at him.

This made Lu Qiaoshan even more certain that he was afraid and terrified.

"I have a piece of intelligence here; back then, Boss Dai had entrusted the Longquan sword to you, and when you were active in Beiping and the puppet Manchukuo area in 1940, you were once arrested by Tanaka Ryukichi.

"In order to save your life and freedom, you offered Boss Dai's Longquan precious sword to Tanaka.

"When Tanaka Ryukichi left, he left this sword to Kawashima Yoshiko.

"Later, after Beiping was liberated, you captured Kawashima Yoshiko and found this sword.

"There are even people who speculate that it was because you were greedy for this precious sword and unwilling to hand it over to others that you plotted against Boss Dai.

"Of course, that's not important.

"The fact now is that you once defected and betrayed.

"I won't investigate your corruption, I'll just investigate this matter; once it's confirmed, this is much more fatal than selling some sugar and rice.

"You know, anti-traitor work is directly handled by Jianfeng.

"With Jianfeng's temper, traitors and running dogs, do you guess he will execute you?"

Lu Qiaoshan continued to attack his heart.

Dense cold sweat seeped out on Ma Hansan's forehead.

"Lu Qiaoshan, what exactly do you want?" He swallowed his saliva and asked.

"Very simple.

"You confess one or two people, so I can answer to my superiors; being suspected of reselling military supplies is better than being a traitor and defecting.

"Reselling military supplies at least won't cost you your life.

"Also, Madam Zheng is in Beiping; if you can smooth things over, this case will be closed.

"Wouldn't it be great if everyone was happy?"

Lu Qiaoshan said.

"I know Ke Shufen.

"Money, I can pay.

"People, I can also provide one, but you must let me seek medical treatment now; also, the matter of Kawashima Yoshiko ends here!

"Of course, you can also go back on your word.

"Then let's see if you can walk out of Beiping alive."

Ma Hansan's eyes flashed with fierce light.

"Bureau Chief Ma, rest assured.

"I have no grudges against you, it's nothing more than aiming for this result, to give Deputy Minister Zheng some face.

"Reselling military supplies, with your connections, if Deputy Minister Delin guarantees it, you'll be locked up for a few months at most, and being a rich idler isn't bad either, right?" Lu Qiaoshan smiled.

"Then I'll have to trouble you, little brother," Ma Hansan said.

"Tomorrow night, I have a batch of goods to be shipped to Zhang Yuan.

"At that time, a person named Huang Bin will come to trade.

"This person claims to be Fu Zuoyi's military supply officer.

"Of course, let's say first that this is what he claims; it could also be Red Tickets. I'm not sure specifically, because my principle of doing business is to only recognize money and not people.

"No matter which commander sent him.

"As long as there is money, I will ship grain and military supplies."

Ma Hansan said.

"Fu Zuoyi, Red Tickets?" Lu Qiaoshan's eyes lit up.

Currently, there is a war going on, so he definitely can't target Fu Zuoyi.

But once Yancheng is taken, the Red Tickets will inevitably be defeated like a mountain, and perhaps in two or three months, the country will be unified.

If he gets his hands on some black material on Fu Zuoyi now.

When the Chairman turns back to clean up these miscellaneous troops, this evidence will be worth a sky-high price in the black market, or at the very least, it will be a miraculous achievement when handed up.

If it's Red Tickets, that's even better.

Catching them is a meritorious deed.

Thinking of this, Lu Qiaoshan agreed on the spot:

"Good, I can send someone to send you to the hospital now; once Huang Bin is caught and Madam Zheng sees the stuff.

"I will immediately finish the interrogation and return to Jingling.

"As for your reselling of military supplies, submit it to headquarters, and you can operate it yourself."

"Easy to say." Ma Hansan nodded.

Lu Qiaoshan was really doing things, immediately sending people to send Ma Hansan to the hospital for treatment and custody.

After being scolded by Ke Shufen and threatened by big shots like Li Zongren, he was quite panicked.

Anyway, he had already shown his face in the newspaper.

Investigate one or two corrupt officials, and hurry back to answer to his superiors.

If he stayed any longer, he was really afraid he would die in Beiping.

As for going to Jinhai, let's plan it long-term.

Early spring, a yellow sand storm rose.

The weather in Beiping was getting worse and worse.

Ma Hansan sat on the hospital bed, pulled open the curtain on the side, curled his lip slightly, and quickly closed it again.

Beiping was becoming less and less worth looking at.

Day by day, it was rotting!

This beating of his successfully made Lu Qiaoshan believe in "Huang Bin".

According to the agreement, Ye Tianhua should arrive in Beiping tonight.

As long as Li Ya can control this person and hand him over to Wang Puchen, Lu Qiaoshan's Inspection Group will be at the time to disband.

And he himself will also successfully escape.

Brother Ye Tianhua.

Don't blame Old Ma for selling you out; in the world, one is not the master of one's own actions.

Anyway, you have a big Buddha like Hu Zongnan to protect you, so you will naturally be safe and smooth.

Afternoon, Beiping.

Ye Tianhua, wearing a windbreaker, a round hat, and with a fair face, got off a rickshaw and handed the puller a silver dollar:

"Keep the change."

"Master, I pulled from the front gate to here, it's over ten miles.

"Didn't you say you'd give two?"

The rickshaw puller said, sweating profusely.

"What a nag!"

Ye Tianhua took out another silver dollar and threw it on the ground, then turned around with his suitcase and entered the hotel.

A few years ago, when Hu Zongnan fell in love with Miss Ye from the clan, his position shot up like a rocket.

From a small soldier managing miscellaneous items in logistics to now the most trusted military supply purchaser of the First Division by the Chairman.

Sometimes when he thinks about it, Ye Tianhua can laugh in his dreams.

Especially after latching onto Ma Hansan, he had often cooperated with the superiors in the past, secretly reselling supplies from the First Division and making a fortune.

Anyway, the First Division would never be short of supplies.

Commander Hu had always been lenient to those below him, and most of the time he turned a blind eye, letting everyone make a little money.

This time, Ma Hansan got two truckloads of sugar from Jinhai, as well as quite a bit of scarce rice and flour.

These are all valuable goods.

If he could get them into Yancheng through his own channels, they could all be sold at sky-high prices.

He quickly returned to his room, washed off the dust of the wind and dust after a shower, picked up the phone, and dialed Liu Yuzhu's number:

"Hello, Secretary Liu, it's me.

"How is Old Ma?

"In the hospital?

"Damn Lu Qiaoshan, then how to talk about this business, I brought the money.

"Okay, I know.

"Eight-thirty tonight, Warehouse No. 2 at Caoqiao.

"Goodbye."

After hanging up the phone, Ye Tianhua couldn't help but frown.

Ma Hansan was in the hospital.

Liu Yuzhu didn't say, but he estimated he was provoked by Lu Qiaoshan.

However, the business continued.

Old Ma's meaning was to let him meet the seller directly for the transaction.

That wasn't impossible either.

As for a trap, Old Ma selling him out.

Ye Tianhua didn't care at all.

He had Commander Hu as his trump card, so even if he was caught, he wouldn't be afraid; getting some sugar for Commander Hu from the Americans in Jinhai and getting some white rice for the brothers wasn't excessive, right?

As for Lu Qiaoshan, he didn't even put him in his eyes.

A mere inspector, at this time, even Jianfeng and Zheng Jiemin had to respect Commander Hu, what is he?

If you are timid, you can't make big money.

Of course, necessary caution was still needed.

He picked up the phone and dialed another number:

"Old Qi, it's me, your Brother Ye.

"Help me check someone surnamed Ji in Jinhai, says he's from the Cao Gang, assistant manager of some dog-shit company, specializing in helping Americans resell arms and supplies.

"Check if there's such a person.

"If there is, call me back immediately, I'm waiting."

After hanging up the phone.

Ye Tianhua, wearing a bathrobe, called a waiter, arranged for a girl, opened red wine, and burned a cigar to enjoy himself first.

Soon, the phone rang.

Ye Tianhua didn't answer, grabbed the time to finish with the little girl, and only then climbed up to dial back:

"Hello, did you check?

"Okay.

"Also, send a few good hands over, I'm going to trade tonight.

"Okay, thanks.

"I'll treat you to dinner later."

After hanging up the phone.

Ye Tianhua took another simple shower, chased away the girl, and had the waiter change the sheets again.

"Damn.

"The little girl knows how to play, it was quite satisfying."

Ventilated, he sniffed his nose, confirmed the room was fresh, and then went to bed to make up for sleep.

Eight-thirty at night.

Ye Tianhua brought a few people to Caoqiao.

Inside Warehouse No. 2, the lights were dim.

Ye Tianhua walked in vigilantly, looked around, and said in a deep voice:

"Brother, I'm here, show yourself."

He shouted a few times and no one responded.

Ye Tianhua realized something was wrong and waved his hand:

"Brothers, retreat."

Just as he reached the door, he saw a team of people in Zhongshan suits walk in.

Upon meeting, everyone drew their guns and aimed at Ye Tianhua and his men.

"Brother, which road are you from, what does this mean?" Ye Tianhua asked coldly.

"I am Li Ya of the Jinhai Station Action Team.

"According to intelligence from the Waterway Inspection Office, we are seizing all cases of reselling civilian supplies through customs.

"You are Huang Bin, right?"

It was indeed Li Ya who had come.

"What Huang Bin? You found the wrong person." Ye Tianhua said.

"Whatever you have to say, we'll talk after returning to the Beiping Station of the Confidentiality Bureau." Li Ya didn't waste words.

"Li Ya.

"Do you know who I am?

"I am the clan brother of Commander Hu Zongnan's wife, and a military supply purchaser of the First Army; if you dare to arrest me, are you tired of living?" Ye Tianhua clamored.

"Is that so?

"What is Commander Hu's person doing sneaking into a warehouse in the middle of the night?

"What is this?"

Li Ya pointed his gun.

Immediately, his subordinates stepped forward and snatched the suitcase from Ye Tianhua's hand, which was full of gold, silver dollars, and US dollars.

"You brought the money.

"Not a small amount.

"Caught red-handed, take him away.

"Leave two people to guard this place.

"Let's go!"

Li Ya waved his hand and led the people away quickly.

Lu Qiaoshan's people were lying in ambush nearby.

Seeing the bright headlights of cars passing by, he realized something was wrong.

The time Ma Hansan gave him was nine o'clock.

At this point, why did so many cars pass by?

"Bad."

Lu Qiaoshan shouted and immediately led people to rush to the warehouse.

When they arrived at the warehouse.

It was already empty inside.

"Damn it!

"Someone intercepted the loot!"

Lu Qiaoshan cursed secretly.

Could it be Li Ya?

What the hell does this guy want to do?

Li Ya took the person directly to the Third Section's branch point.

Without asking anything, he gave him a beating first.

Ye Tianhua had never experienced this kind of thing, hurting so much he was dying, howling in misery.

A moment later, Li Ya walked in with his hands in his pockets:

"Huang Bin.

"This morning, Sun Cheng, a clerk at the Shuntong Company in Jinhai, secretly transferred two truckloads of sugar and twelve truckloads of rice and flour from the Cao Gang wharf warehouse.

"According to Sun Cheng's confession, he was trading with the Red Tickets.

"Huang Bin, you are a Red Ticket, still not admitting it?"

He leaned against the interrogation table, hugging his arms and said.

"Red Ticket.

"No, I am Commander Hu Zongnan's person; if you don't believe me, you can call Commander Hu now."

Ye Tianhua, hearing that he was being linked to the Red Tickets, became anxious immediately.

He knew the people of the Confidentiality Bureau; they would use any low-down method.

If he was labeled a Red Ticket, who knows if he would have to die here.

"Commander Hu is currently busy with the war.

"How can he pay attention to the likes of us?

"Besides, if you delay the war, can you bear the responsibility?

"Who doesn't know that the First Division is the Chairman's heart and soul, with grain, grass, and military equipment supplied with priority; do you still need to come out and secretly engage in this kind of thing?

"Speak, who is your superior?

"Where is the traffic?"

Li Ya sneered and continued to press.

"I, I really don't know." Ye Tianhua was about to cry.

"Not confessing.

"Very good, continue beating.

"Everyone listen well, don't stop, beat him until he confesses.

"Also, connect the electricity.

"This isn't as good as an electric chair, but it should be enough."

Li Ya pointed to the electric light.

After saying this, he walked out coldly with his hands in his pockets.

By dawn, Ye Tianhua, covered in blood and having fainted several times, finally couldn't hold on.

He finally understood.

If he didn't confess first.

These people would beat him to death.

"Captain Li, Huang Bin has confessed.

"This is his personally signed confession."

Yu Cheng walked quickly into the office and woke up Li Ya on the sofa.

Li Ya lifted the clothes covering him and flipped through it, his eyes shining with joy:

"Too good.

"Immediately take the person to the Beiping Inspection Office.

"Also notify the newspapers and reporters to go there."

After Li Ya finished ordering.

He washed up immediately, made his hair shiny and smooth, and put on polished leather shoes.

He wanted to see, didn't Lu Qiaoshan brag that he would take everything?

Let's see how he takes this.

North China Inspection Station, General Inspection Office.

Station Chief Wang Puchen stood by the window, coldly watching Li Ya escort the person into the courtyard.

"Director Wang.

"Li Ya of the Jinhai Station captured a reseller of civilian supplies.

"He says he wants to temporarily detain him in our Inspection Office.

"The person is waiting in the lobby."

The secretary walked over and reported respectfully.

"Let Li Ya lock the person up first.

"We'll talk about other things later."

Wang Puchen took a puff of his cigarette and ordered.

After his subordinate left, he sat back at his desk, quickly extinguished the cigarette butt in the ashtray, and dialed Mao Renfeng's phone:

"Bureau Chief, it's Renchu.

"I sent people last night, but Li Ya wanted to show off, and it suited my purpose, so I didn't make a move.

"Mm, it can be confirmed that it's Hu Zongnan's military supply department, and his wife's clan member is named Ye Tianhua.

"Good, I know.

"It's not that Brother Shan is showing off, but there is no one in the Ping-Jin area that I can't handle now!"

Wang Puchen hung up the phone.

Bureau Chief Mao still didn't make it explicit.

But the meaning was expressed well enough; cooperate with Li Ya to set Lu Qiaoshan up and make him unable to step down.

This matter wasn't difficult.

He only needed to say a few high-sounding words.

Inspection Group, Section Chief's office.

Li Zhong walked in hurriedly and said to Lu Qiaoshan, who was drinking coffee:

"Section Chief, things are looking bad."

"What happened?" Lu Qiaoshan asked, frowning.

"The person who Ma Hansan confessed was reselling military supplies at Caoqiao last night was caught by Li Ya," Li Zhong said.

"It really was him.

"Caught, then caught; anyway, it's just icing on the cake for me."

Lu Qiaoshan said lightly.

"Section Chief Lu, it's not that simple.

"According to our mole in the Third Section, that person is highly likely to be Hu Zongnan's military supply officer, named Ye Tianhua, the clan brother of Commander Hu's wife.

"If Li Ya uses him to make an issue.

"Will you arrest him, or release him?"

Li Zhong analyzed.

"Hu Zongnan's clan brother.

"Abominable!

"I said why he was stubbornly staying in Beiping and not leaving, so he was waiting for me here.

"Hu Zongnan is now more precious than the Chairman's own son.

"And he caught a military supply officer.

"No, I must get the person back immediately."

Lu Qiaoshan decided decisively.
