As for Chen Bijun, he was very considerate and caring to Gu Xiaomeng along the way. He asked about everything from his study experience to his current work situation. The two of them never let go of their hands during the whole process. After arriving at the other hospital where they were staying, they even took the initiative to ask Gu Xiaomeng.
She recognized her as her goddaughter.
Anyone with a discerning eye can naturally see that the reason why Chen Bijun took such initiative was entirely for Gu Minzhang's sake. After all, the vice president of the Economic Committee holds the entire Nanjing government's money bag. No matter what, no one can
You won’t have trouble with money, right?
Although Gu Xiaomeng was disgusted with this from the bottom of her heart, for the sake of the overall situation, she could only endure her inner discomfort and agreed bravely.
Not only had she wanted to accept her as a godfather, Chen Bijun couldn't help but drag her to the Xiling Hotel for a feast. Naturally, he tried his best to win over her during the dinner, which made Gu Xiaomeng feel speechless.
What's surprising is that the old man even went on to try to marry him with a boyfriend, until he was sternly rejected by Gu Xiaomeng, and then gave up in frustration.
But even so, the group of people kept tossing until late at night before Chen Bijun let Gu Xiaomeng leave and returned to the other courtyard where he was staying.
Only then did Li Shiqun finally find the opportunity to knock on Chen Bijun's door.
"Are you here? Sit down!" Although Chen Bijun was full of alcohol at this time, his consciousness was very clear. When he saw Li Shiqun coming in, he said to him cordially, "Is something okay?"
Li Shiqun rubbed his hands while replying: "Well...Commissioner Chen, the task you assigned to Beizi before you left has been investigated clearly and I came here to report to you."
"Oh? Really? I didn't expect Secretary-General Li's efficiency to be quite high! Tell me, what did you find out?"
Before he finished speaking, Li Shiqun immediately took out a thick stack of documents from his briefcase. He said respectfully: "According to the investigation, the case of Director Cai of the Jiangsu Civil Affairs Department using his authority to blackmail his subordinates has been verified, and there are all witnesses and materials.
All the evidence points to Gao Guanwu, a high-ranking official."
"So, you have already arrested me?" Chen Bijun couldn't help raising his eyebrows after hearing this, and asked casually.
"I don't dare to do it in a humble position. After all, Gao Guanwu is also the governor of a province, and it is related to the face of the Nanjing government. Without the orders of Commissioner Chen and Chairman Wang, how can I dare to act arbitrarily in a humble position? What's more..."
"Besides what?"
"With the deepening of the investigation, Beizhi unexpectedly discovered that since the launch of the Qingxiang campaign, Gao Guanwu has been working against us overtly and covertly. After the Qingxiang campaign began, Beizhi finally transferred a large number of manpower from the Investigation and Statistics Department to form the Qingxiang movement.
The service brigade went deep into various counties and townships to carry out activities, but almost everywhere they went, they encountered difficulties from the land tax management offices and business tax collection offices of each county. Not only that, according to Section Chief Wang, Gao Guanwu even secretly instigated the county security team
Not obeying the command of the Qingxiang Branch seriously affected the effectiveness of Qingxiang."
"Are you serious?" It's okay that Chen Bijun didn't listen. After hearing Li Shiqun's embellished report, his face immediately darkened.
"It's absolutely true! I have sorted out all the evidence, please take a look." After saying this, Li Shiqun handed over the evidence in his hand.
"That's unreasonable! What on earth is this guy with the surname Gao going to do?"
But before he finished speaking, he saw Li Shiqun acting like he was hesitating to speak again. He immediately frowned and asked, "Why, is there anything more serious?"
"I wonder if Commissioner Chen still remembers the plan to raise funds for rural clearing that Chairman Wang nodded and approved?"
"Are you talking about the plan to impose a 25% business surcharge on the business community?" Chen Bijun asked after thinking about it for a moment.
Li Shiqun immediately flattered him, "Commissioner Chen really has a good memory. Yes, this is the plan."
Then the conversation changed again, "But guess what? The man surnamed Gao actually refused to cooperate with the implementation on the grounds that Chairman Wang only verbally agreed and did not issue a formal order, and even privately ordered to stop providing supplies to the Qingxiang Service Team.
supply."
"There is still this matter? Then why didn't you tell me earlier?"
"I only learned about the humble job not long ago. The purpose of each service team is to reduce the burden on the government. Secondly, they want to avoid unnecessary friction among colleagues. Thirdly, they want to be considerate of the actual financial situation of each district and county. Maybe they can really take advantage of it."
Since we couldn't come up with the money, we had to tighten our belts and start working, wishing we could break a dollar into several petals and spend it. It wasn't until I was asked about it by my subordinates that I had to tell the truth."
Chen Bijun sighed with emotion after hearing this, "Oh, it's really hard on you. Don't worry, after I go back, I will ask Ji Xin to issue a formal order. This way, you don't have to be so miserable in the future.
"
Unexpectedly, Li Shiqun's face did not show any joy after hearing this, but instead became more sad and angry.
This made Chen Bijun even more puzzled, "Shiqun, what are you doing?"
"It's nothing. My humble duty is just to express my grievances for Commissioner Chen and Chairman Wang from the bottom of my heart."
"how do I say this?"
"It was only after investigation that I found out about the humble position. Although the senior official ordered to stop the supply of supplies to the Qingxiang service team, the tax was still collected at a penny..."
"What did you say?" Now Chen Bijun couldn't sit still anymore and jumped up from the sofa, shouting with eyes split open, "In other words, that person named Gao is not only using the government's banner.
A business surcharge has been levied, but it has not been paid, but it has been put into one's own pocket, is that right?"
As soon as he saw that Chen Bijun was as easy as Sasaki said, Li Shiqun couldn't help but feel secretly happy, and then he added a lot of oil to the already burning fire, "Commissioner Chen, to be honest
, it’s okay if he was just greedy and took some, but do you know what he did with the money? He actually used the money to win over those Jiangsu gentry and business groups! I really can’t imagine what he wants from this humble position.
What to do?"
This chapter is not finished yet. Please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "That's unreasonable! This bastard bastard is using our money to win over people's hearts. He's the ultimate bastard!" After scolding him fiercely, Chen Bijun said a little.
After calming down, he turned to Li Shiqun and asked, "Do you have any evidence for what you said?"
Li Shiqun, without saying a word, directly revealed all the materials in his hand, "Yes, Commissioner Chen, please take a look. This is top-secret information obtained from Mr. Sasaki in a humble position. How did Gao Guanwu embezzle and accept bribes, steal ordnance, and withhold administrative funds?"
Every crime is recorded clearly and clearly! Not only that, but there are also the confessions of several conscientious businessmen from the gentry-merchants group who were attracted by him, which are enough to prove that what I said is true."
Hearing this, Chen Bijun finally couldn't bear it anymore and went straight to the phone and dialed a phone number. Then he almost gritted his teeth and said to the other side of the phone: "Hello? Secretary's office? It's me...immediately..."
An arrest warrant was issued in the name of Mingsi, and officials from JS provincial senior officials below Gao Guanwu to division level and above were immediately arrested, escorted to Nanjing for investigation, and sent to the Suzhou office before dawn!"
…
While Jiming Temple was in a state of panic over a phone call from Chen Bijun, Li Qiang was counting the time while enjoying exquisite Soviet-style pastries at his residence.
"Calculating the time, there should be chaos at Jiming Temple, right?"
Matsuoka Yui on the side curled her lips, "It's not just Jiming Temple. It is estimated that in a while, the whole of Jiangsu will be in chaos. If this happens, the entire Zhejiang and Jiangsu regions will have to change their surname to Li. Don't be afraid...
…”
"What are you afraid of? If you want to make it perish, you must first make it crazy. When a person's ambition reaches the extreme, it is the beginning of his destruction."
"It doesn't sound like you're just talking about him, right?"
"Of course! What I just said applies to anyone, whether it's Chinese or Japanese."
"Brother Aqiang, you are becoming more and more outspoken. Don't forget, we are still hostile. You said this yourself."
"That's right, I said it, and I can also swear that sooner or later I will drive you back to my homeland at all costs, but those are all things for later. You only cooperated with me after you recognized these, right?
?”
"You're right, you know, Brother Aqiang, what I like most about you is that you are much better than those hypocrites who tell lies all day long..."
"Ahem!" Matsuoka Yui wanted to say something more, but was rudely interrupted by Haitang on the side, "I said Miss Matsuoka, you are not flirting with my husband in front of me.
Do you feel ashamed?"
"What's the point? Whoever I like is my freedom. What does it have to do with others? Instead of worrying about your husband being snatched away, it's better to think about whether you have done your duty as a wife! Sister Haitang
!”
"you!"
"Okay, okay, why did you two start arguing again without even saying a few words? It's really..."
Just as he was talking, Axiang hurried in and said, "Brother Aqiang, come here and take a look at this. A beggar brought it to the door just now."
After saying that, he handed an empty envelope with three red dots on the cover into Li Qiang's hand.
Li Qiang took the envelope and asked, "Did the beggar say anything else?"
"No, after leaving this envelope, the beggar left."
"Well, I understand, you go down!"
After saying that, Li Qiang stood up and put on his coat, "I have to go out for something. You two stay here to look after the house. Don't argue anymore. We'll talk about the big deal when I get back."
After that, he went straight out of the house.
Half an hour later, we headed towards the Qin Pavilion in the west of the city. Although it was only the second time we had set foot here, it could be considered a familiar road.
In a short time, Li Qiang arrived at the door of a private room and knocked rhythmically with his knuckles. The originally closed door opened with a "squeak".
"I didn't expect that the so-called perfect meeting place you mentioned would be a place like this. It's really..." Gu Shenyan couldn't help but complain when they met.
Li Qiang replied half-jokingly: "Just say never! In terms of privacy, is there a more private place here? Why did Lao Gu, who had just been promoted to deputy webmaster, show off to the former commander?
Are you being too official?"
"How could I have the courage! Who in the entire military commander-in-chief doesn't know your name as 'Dagger'? Even the Chairman of the Generalissimo said in an internal meeting in the attendant's room: The military commander-in-chief needs fifty 'daggers' that can be inserted into the enemy's heart!"
I can’t afford to offend you.”
"Okay, let's not talk about this. If you call me here in such a hurry, does it mean that you have some clues about the traitor?"
Gu Shenyan nodded, then put away his joking expression, and said solemnly: "Well, after my secret observation during this period, I have narrowed the scope to three people, although I can't guarantee that the remaining people will
There must be no accomplices of traitors, but I am sure that one of these three people must be a traitor."
After hearing this, Li Qiang immediately replied without thinking: "Okay, in that case, just leave those three people to me. As for the rest, we will evacuate in batches according to the original plan and return to Chongqing."
"Okay! Then at eight o'clock tomorrow night, I will ask them to wait for you at Warehouse No. 8. If you need help, send someone to Hangzhou to find me."
"Aren't you going to evacuate with the main force?"
"Even if the Shanghai Station is gone, someone still has to stay behind! Moreover, Boss Dai has other tasks to explain, so it is inconvenient to disclose the content."
"Understood, take care of yourself! Lao Gu!"
"The same to you."
There was no word for the night, and early the next morning, just as Li Qiang expected, the entire Suzhou city was in chaos before dawn. Almost all the spies and Qingxiang brigade came out, almost destroying the entire Suzhou city.
Officials' mansions were ransacked from house to house. There were spies and gunshots everywhere for a while. Even the shops on the street were scared and closed their doors and windows. No one dared to open their doors, let alone ordinary people.
.
The huge city of Suzhou felt like a dead city for a while, so heavy that people could hardly breathe.
Such a strange atmosphere lasted from early morning to evening. It was not until the sun was about to set that the spies and members of the Qingxiang Brigade gradually dispersed on the street, disappearing like passing locusts.
It was only then that those people who had been worried all day finally plucked up the courage to walk out of their homes, and some popularity in the city was restored.
It was night, and three figures took advantage of the darkness and quietly entered Warehouse No. 8. As soon as the three people stepped into the warehouse, there was the sound of the door closing behind them, followed by a slightly aged voice.
It rang, "You are here! You are welcome to join me. For some reason in Qingyuan Company, I cannot meet you directly. Please report your names, positions and specialties below!"
Before he finished speaking, one of them immediately said: "My name is Yu...Yu Dacheng, a traffic officer. My specialty is...driving."
Immediately afterwards, a woman's voice rang out, "Xia Yilan, telegraph operator, specializes in sending and receiving telegrams."
Then, another woman's voice rang out, "Su Yao, a telegraph translator. Her specialty is deciphering telegrams."
