Chapter 255: Unlucky Sheng Xiang

Returned to the Station Chief's office.

Wu Jingzhong gave a look, and Hong Zhiyou hurriedly bolted the door.

"Bang!"

He placed the box on the table.

Hong Zhiyou opened it; inside were one hundred thousand US dollars neatly stacked.

"I promised Zheng Jiemin one hundred thousand US dollars for two hundred thousand US dollars worth of medicine," Wu Jingzhong said.

"But this is not my style.

"The rest is your work."

Wu Jingzhong scooped with both hands and took half.

"Five thousand US dollars for two hundred thousand worth of medicine, the problem is not big," Hong Zhiyou nodded.

"Hmm, go handle it.

"By the way, clean up the tail on Sheng Xiang's side; before Okamura Yasuji comes, Lu Qiaoshan must return to the station," Wu Jingzhong instructed solemnly.

"Yes, Teacher!"

Hong Zhiyou closed the suitcase and carried it out.

Passed the Deputy Station Chief's office.

A hand reached out from the side and pulled him in.

"Zhiyou, is it confirmed?" Yu Zecheng asked.

"Confirmed what?" Hong Zhiyou raised his eyebrows and asked back.

"Lu Qiaoshan coming to the station," Yu Zecheng said.

"Confirmed.

"He will work in the Intelligence Section at the station, and has also been granted the position of Director of the Garrison Command Inspection Office; Bai Shiwei is transferred to be the Police Bureau Chief, Zheng Tingfeng is changed to Commander of the 94th Army, and Mou Tingfang and Yang Wenquan are transferred to the Ludong War Zone," Hong Zhiyou said.

"Zheng Tingfeng is really coming.

"It seems that to lift Lu Qiaoshan, Zheng Jiemin has really spent blood," Yu Zecheng was shocked and clicked his tongue.

"Not lifting Lu Qiaoshan.

"It's to scrape money; the Zheng family gang wants to dominate Jinhai and scrape oil and water.

"Wait, there will be plays to watch in the future," Hong Zhiyou shrugged and smiled.

"Then when is it appropriate for me to light this fire?" Yu Zecheng asked.

"Don't light it for now.

"Given this situation, Lu and Li have a fight to have.

"The Station Chief's meaning is, afraid Li Ya won't be able to hold on, so keep your position for now, and when the time comes, let Li Ya sit for a while to help him," Hong Zhiyou said.

"Hmm.

"Fine, with Teacher's planning, we'll just do as told," Yu Zecheng said.

"You are..." After a pause, he looked at the box in Hong Zhiyou's hand.

"Five thousand US dollars to handle Zheng Jiemin's two hundred thousand task.

"The foreign devils scrape another layer.

"Two thousand US dollars to handle ten times the task," Hong Zhiyou said, and couldn't help but laugh himself.

"That's not called penicillin anymore; wouldn't that become boiled water?" Yu Zecheng laughed knowingly.

"Not necessarily.

"It will have some effect after injection; at most, this batch of drugs is an improved product, maybe not very suitable for the Easterner's constitution," Hong Zhiyou even thought of the excuse for the Americans.

"You...

Yu Zecheng felt a bit unfair for the National Army, "Like this, Mr. Yong gave me eighty thousand US dollars; can you also buy a batch of medicine for me to send to the border area?"

"If there's money, it's easy to talk.

"I'll get you fifty thousand worth of medicine, high quality," Hong Zhiyou calculated and said.

"No way, you cut thirty thousand? You're so ruthless to your own people," Yu Zecheng stared.

"Who is your own person.

"Cut thirty thousand and I still have to lose money.

"You think it's so simple to get real medicine.

"If the medicine isn't fake, the Americans have to be tipped ten thousand US dollars; the transportation line needs money; they have to go to the devils' house or Xiangdao, Southeast Asia to get goods, and the production company needs money.

"Otherwise, that side will definitely fake it.

"Back and forth, thirty thousand US dollars might not be able to handle it.

"Being able to get fifty thousand US dollars worth of genuine penicillin is already thanking heaven and earth," Hong Zhiyou explained.

"Fine, fine, just count it as you say, fifty thousand is fifty thousand," Yu Zecheng nodded repeatedly.

"Where's the money?

"Foreigners want to see cash," Hong Zhiyou said.

"At home, go find your senior sister to get it," Yu Zecheng said.

Hong Zhiyou carried the money box out the door.

Got in the car, he went straight to the small courtyard.

Cuiping was picking vegetables in the yard.

"Senior sister, I'm taking things," Hong Zhiyou said straight to the point.

"I'll get it for you."

Cuiping wiped her hands on her apron and led him into the house.

Once inside, she closed the door and said:

"Junior brother, this money is the life-saving money for the soldiers; don't reach out,"

"Don't worry, I have a sense of proportion," Hong Zhiyou said.

"Thanks.

"Knew you wouldn't; I'll teach you a few new moves later," Cuiping patted his shoulder and said with satisfaction.

"Leaving.

"By the way, be careful recently; Li Ya is going to conduct an internal investigation again," Hong Zhiyou warned.

"Don't worry, I don't go anywhere except the Station Chief's house," Cuiping said.

"That won't do.

"Did you run to the bookstore before?" Hong Zhiyou asked.

"Ran there, practicing calligraphy!" Cuiping said.

"Then you still have to go; go when the paper is finished.

"He just wanted to investigate Old Yu, and if you have no movement, Li Ya will only be more suspicious.

"I'm leaving; discuss everything with Old Yu more," Hong Zhiyou finished and returned to the car, heading straight to the Marine Corps base.

Arrived at the barracks.

Philson was smoking a cigar and watching the soldiers show off on the single bar.

"General, Secretary Hong is here," Anderson stepped forward and said.

"Hong, my friend, you're here; there must be good news, right?" Philson's eyes lit up when he saw him, just like a weasel seeing a chicken coming to pay a New Year's call.

"Of course," Hong Zhiyou raised his eyebrows and smiled.

Arrived at the office.

Hong Zhiyou spread the money on the table: "Give me two hundred thousand US dollars worth of penicillin."

"Are you crazy?

"Five thousand US dollars, and you want me to give two hundred thousand US dollars worth of goods," Philson felt it was unbelievable.

"You can try to adjust the drug composition of the penicillin.

"One shot won't kill anyone; it just needs to stop inflammation and infection.

"If it really can't stop it, it's an improved drug.

"However, human life is at stake; it's best to have some effect."

Hong Zhiyou said.

"OK, I know what to do; leave it to me," Philson pondered and instantly understood Hong Zhiyou's meaning.

Faking it.

They were the most proficient at it.

They hadn't done accounts where a coffee cup was a hundred US dollars.

"Not in a hurry.

"There is another business here."

Hong Zhiyou opened another box, took out thirty thousand US dollars, and placed it on the table.

"These thirty thousand are for you, General.

"I also want a batch of fifty thousand US dollars worth of medicine, real medicine, one hundred percent pure penicillin.

"In addition, I know your American military has an observation group visiting and observing Northern Shaanxi recently.

"I hope this batch of medicine can go in with you."

Hong Zhiyou handed over the remaining fifty thousand medicine money again.

Philson picked up the money and weighed it in his hand, then turned to ask Anderson: "Is there an observation group going recently?"

"Yes, General," Anderson said.

"There should be women, old people, and children in Northern Shaanxi, right?" Philson asked.

"Of course there are," Hong Zhiyou nodded.

"No problem, leave it to me.

"I will transport this batch of medicine to Yancheng on the grounds of humanitarian relief," Philson agreed readily.

"Hong.

"My good brother, stay and play a few rounds?

"My 'Mahjong' recently has been learned almost enough."

Philson said in broken Chinese.

"Sorry, I didn't bring money today; how about you lend me some?" Hong Zhiyou asked with a smile, spreading his hands.

"Oh.

"That's really unfortunate; another day," Philson shrugged and said with regret.

"Another day."

Hong Zhiyou shook hands with him, said goodbye, and walked out of the barracks.

Only recognizing cash, the dead foreign devils are getting sharper.

After sending Hong Zhiyou away, Anderson returned to the barracks.

Philson was smoking a cigar and organizing the bills.

He casually took two stacks of US dollars and handed them to Anderson, throwing the rest into his drawer:

"Send the money to General Randall on the Ghost Island and have him send twenty thousand US dollars worth of medicine over."

"General, two thousand US dollars for twenty thousand worth of medicine, wouldn't it..." Anderson couldn't bear to watch.

"Do as told.

"Tell them, as long as it can stop inflammation, let him handle it."

Philson ordered.

"But General Randall will definitely intercept a portion, and I'm afraid there won't be many cents left for the medicine.

"This business they will lose, I'm afraid they won't agree."

Anderson said in a low voice.

"They will do it.

"When the devils launched the full-scale war, they had a lot of medicine stockpiled domestically, and many were about to expire.

"Not to mention there is a profit of one or two thousand US dollars.

"Even if it's clearing inventory, they will agree."

Philson said.

"In addition, this fifty... thirty thousand US dollars, let them send slightly inferior goods."

As he spoke, he casually took another twenty thousand from Hong Zhiyou's payment.

"Hong is our friend.

"Give him ten thousand US dollars worth of goods, near-expired clearance medicine, the kind that can be used.

"Consider it a favor to him."

Philson thought for a while and ordered again.

"In addition, tell Hong that there are several old arsenal inventories cleared on the Ghost Island side, and General MacArthur has ordered Randall to destroy weapons recently to completely cut off their militaristic remnants.

"Randall wants to dump this batch of things.

"If Hong is interested, including tanks and cannons, all can be supplied.

"The price is all discounted."

Philson put away the money and casually pulled another handful of bills and handed them to Anderson.

"Thank you, General.

"I will definitely convey it," Anderson said.

"Call Jimmy over," Philson ordered.

Anderson quickly called Lieutenant Jimmy from the Equipment Management Section in.

"Jimmy.

"Did the Confidential Bureau people take the things?" Philson asked.

"Taken.

"All bought at three times the market price," Jimmy said.

"Good.

"I will issue a notice that you are suspected of privately selling military equipment, please have the Confidential Bureau assist in the investigation.

"Of course, it's just a formality; there won't be any real punishment for you.

"And it won't be recorded.

"This is your hard work fee."

Philson took one thousand US dollars and handed it to Jimmy.

"Thank you, General," Jimmy nodded hurriedly.

The next day.

Jinhai Station.

Sheng Xiang carried his briefcase, smoked a cigarette, and hummed a little tune as he arrived at the office.

"Section Chief Sheng."

Zhang Li trotted over to welcome him.

"Cough cough, how are you talking?" Sheng Xiang frowned with dissatisfaction.

"Oh, called it wrong, it's Section Chief Sheng.

"Is your office still lacking people?"

Zhang Li blinked her eyes and said.

Sheng Xiang had always been unmarried; when he was a section chief before, Zhang Li had already secretly loved him and often used him to mock Mi Zhiguo.

Now Sheng Xiang had been promoted again.

Zhang Li naturally had to flatter him well.

If she could get together with Sheng Xiang, that would be much stronger than the target she found herself.

"Lacking.

"Just happen to be missing someone to serve tea and pour water; I'll tell the Station Chief later and transfer you over."

Sheng Xiang looked her up and down and laughed dryly.

"That's great, thank you Section Chief Sheng," Zhang Li was overjoyed.

Just as they were speaking, Hong Zhiyou walked over.

"Chatting, you two?" Hong Zhiyou greeted with a smile.

"Just chatting a few words," Sheng Xiang smiled.

"Cough cough, Zhang Li, you go back first; I'll notify you when there's news," he waved his hand.

"Section Chief Sheng has good luck with women," Hong Zhiyou said.

"Where, can't compare to you, little brother; we are all colleagues.

"Want to come in for a cup of tea?

"When I was in Jingling, Secretary-General Kuang gave me a box of good tea; want to taste it?"

Sheng Xiang deliberately bit the words "Secretary-General Kuang" very hard.

"Oh, remembered, you once followed Secretary-General Kuang."

Hong Zhiyou had a sudden realization expression, and his smile became more friendly.

"Yes, yes.

"Secretary Hong, want to come in and taste it?"

Sheng Xiang hurriedly raised his hand to invite.

"Polite.

"Keep the tea for next time.

"We are all friends from now on; if you have anything, just speak up."

Hong Zhiyou patted him, stood up, and walked out.

Returned to the sofa, Sheng Xiang sat on the sofa, crossed his legs, and his mood was simply beautiful.

Yesterday, entering equipment, he scraped at least five figures of US dollars in one turn.

It's still cool to be an official.

Sign, and the money falls into the pocket.

No wonder Old Lu cared so much about this position, wanting to eat this piece of fat meat by bending the curve.

Action Team office.

Li Ya was studying Ma Kui's files.

Ma Kui had once looked for Qiao Sanmei and Duan Guinian, and according to Li Ping's data, these two people were very likely Red Ticket agents recruited by his mentor Liu Xiong.

It is said that when he was catching a person named Xiao Wuzi in Yixian back then, he caught these two people along the way.

They were all from Weitou Village with Wang Cuiping.

And these two people might be guerrillas.

Song Fei was the handler at the time.

The recording was confirmed lost, which finally allowed Yu Zecheng to escape a disaster.

There were many links in the middle that had leaks.

If Ma Kui was Emei Peak, he had no reason to bite Wang Cuiping and not let go.

If Yu's wife was a Red Ticket, they were their own people.

If not?

Ma Kui and Teacher were both experienced investigators; why keep staring at a village wild woman?

Just because she learned martial arts for two days and could fight a little, she was judged as a Red Ticket.

This didn't look like Teacher's behavior.

Yu's wife has a problem.

"Call Song Fei," Li Ya ordered Gao Yuan.

"Yes."

Gao Yuan, who was waiting for orders at the door, went to call Song Fei of the Third Section in.

"Section Chief Song, do you still remember the matter of Qiao Sanmei back then?" Li Ya asked.

"Don't remember much," Song Fei pretended to be stupid directly.

"Pig brain.

"Recall it well for me; if you can't remember, don't do it," Li Ya said unhappily.

"Have, have some impression; what does Captain Li want to know?" Song Fei said.

"Wang Cuiping is an old acquaintance from the same village as Qiao Sanmei and Duan Guinian?

"They are very close, right?"

Li Ya walked back and forth with his hands behind his back and asked.

"Very close.

"Qiao Sanmei and Yu's wife chatted very happily; they should be from the same village.

"Because they encountered bandits halfway.

"Duan Guinian and Qiao Sanmei were both killed by bandits; it's very difficult for us to verify what kind of relationship they had," Song Fei said very cautiously and conservatively.

"I look at the data.

"When Wang Cuiping came, there was a cart-pulling worker named Chen Xiaowu; did Section Chief Liu catch this person when he was there?

"It was caught in Yixian.

"Do you know this Xiao Wuzi?"

Li Ya asked again.

"Know.

"Yu's wife hadn't been in Jinhai for many days, right? Section Chief Liu organized people to catch him; don't know the specific charge, seems like stealing grain in Yixian?" Song Fei blinked his eyes and said.

"What stealing grain, it's buying grain, more than ten silver dollars, buying grain for the mountains," Li Ya corrected.

"Who tried the case?" Li Ya asked.

"Old Wu, Section Chief Liu.

"Lu Baoxing might know a little."

Song Fei thought for a while and said.

"Good.

"In addition, isn't the mountain in Yixian already taken down now?

"Find someone to ask in Weitou; what is the identity of Qiao Sanmei, Duan Guinian, and Yu's wife, whether there is a Mobile Corps Commander background.

"I need to know the exact news, the faster the better," Li Ya ordered.

"Understood, the subordinate will go handle it," Song Fei accepted the order.

"There must be a big problem here; maybe something can be made out of it; Mentor won't be wrong," Li Ya pondered secretly, biting his lip.

Yu Zecheng's resume has many suspicious points.

Yangjia Village.

Shaanxi Guild Hall.

And the autumn and pharmacy.

All seem to be connected to the Red Tickets.

But these evidences are too weak to cause fatal accusations against Yu Zecheng.

Li Ya felt that perhaps walking Ma Kui's path and starting from Yu Zecheng's stupid wife was a good choice.

He had seen Cuiping.

Boisterous, without any city government.

This kind of rude woman, but if you set a trap, maybe you can get dry goods.

Just pondering, Gao Yuan folded back:

"Captain Li, something happened on Sheng Xiang's side."

"Speak quickly," Li Ya was ecstatic.

He just hated Sheng Xiang.

Maybe it had to do with Lu Qiaoshan.

Maybe it was just that the aura didn't match, and he couldn't stand his petty success.

Anyway, he wanted to step on this stink bug to death at all times.

"Sheng Xiang and the American military's Jimmy procured equipment, but this Jimmy reported the price very low, and the money Sheng Xiang procured was swallowed by him; this matter was investigated by Commander Philson, and the base has already issued a notice to punish Jimmy.

"If the price Sheng Xiang reported back is really far higher than the market price, then he is in big trouble," Gao Yuan said.

"Too good.

"I'm going to see the Station Chief.

"You take people to guard the corridor and don't let Sheng Xiang slip away," Li Ya ordered.

He quickly came to the Station Chief's office.

Wu Jingzhong was on the phone:

"There is such a thing?

"You must not frame my subordinates.

"As long as the evidence is solid, I can cooperate with you; take your procurement manifest.

"I will let Section Chief Sheng confront you on the price on the spot.

"Good, just like that."

Bang!

Wu Jingzhong hung up the phone coldly.

"Outrageous!

"The American side embezzled money themselves and said it was stolen money sent by someone in our Confidential Bureau.

"Isn't this nonsense?"

He pointed at the phone and cursed.

"Teacher, it's hard to say, maybe someone really colluded with the American military to scrape oil and water?" Li Ya laughed coldly.

"What do you mean?

"Speak directly if you have something to say; don't be yin and yang," Wu Jingzhong turned his head, frowned, and asked.

"Sheng Xiang.

"Didn't he just procure a batch of important monitoring equipment and vehicles?

"This is not a small amount.

"If he casually marks the price high, the station pays, wouldn't the price killed fall into his own pocket?

"If he gives too much, the people on that side will naturally be greedy.

"To scrape money, he can only report it a little lower," Li Ya analyzed.

"Hmm, makes sense?

"Black or white, it will be clear once it passes through.

"The American side will send people over immediately; Li Ya, you go control Sheng Xiang first.

"If it's embezzlement, it must be severely punished," Wu Jingzhong instructed with his hands behind his back.

"Yes!" Li Ya accepted the order happily.

"What do you mean?"

"Say what you have to say directly, don't be so cryptic."

Wu Jingzhong turned his head away, frowning as he asked, unable to hide his annoyance.

"It's Sheng Xiang."

"Didn't he just purchase a batch of important monitoring equipment and vehicles?"

"That's not a small sum."

"If he just inflates the price a bit, and the station pays for it, wouldn't the difference he squeezed out go straight into his own pocket?"

"If he gives them too much, the people on the other side will naturally be greedy."

"To pocket the money, he can only report a lower price."

Li Ya analyzed.

"Hmm, that makes some sense."

"Whether it's black or white, we'll know once we check it."

"The Americans are sending people over soon. Li Ya, you go and take Sheng Xiang into custody first."

"If he's been lining his own pockets, he must be severely punished."

Wu Jingzhong instructed with his hands behind his back.

"Yes!" Li Ya accepted the order gladly.
