When Ruan Xihao "secretly" returned to Nanjing, someone knew about it as soon as he got off the ship, and recorded Ruan Xihao's whereabouts. No one doubted Ruan Xihao's loyalty to Wei Ze, and Ruan Xihao, who was on the cusp, went back to Nanjing to talk to Wei Ze directly, which was a choice that everyone could understand and even support. But Ruan Xihao didn't contact the brothers first, but went directly to see Shen Xin, the director of the political department, which made the brothers feel that it was very undesirable to do this.

At a small meeting held by Army Commander Hu Chenghe, Artillery Commander Liang Changtai, and Navy Commander Lin Jiajun, Artillery Commander Liang Changtai couldn't help but complain: "Is Ruan Xihao really preparing to do business?" ”

In terms of friendship, Hu Chenghe and Liang Changtai are both from the Wuzhou Tiandi Society, if you have to talk about life, Liang Changtai almost joined Wei Ze's troops with Ruan Xihao. Wuzhou fellow countrymen, plus long-term comrades-in-arms, Liang Changtai felt that Ruan Xihao should come to find these brothers first. can take a look at the people selected by Ruan Xihao, the first choice is Lei Hu, and the second person to meet is Shen Xin, who is a junior character. Leaving the three commanders alone, looking for the other two from near and far, Liang Changtai felt very blocked in his heart.

Hu Chenghe was not so excited, he said: "What can you do if you Lao Liang is found, can you have any other way than to let him kill his relatives in righteousness?" ”

Liang Changtai "has a criminal record", his younger brother was arrested as a water thief in Wuzhou, and was later sentenced to death. Liang Changtai also once said that "exchange his military exploits for his brother's life", but later he still honestly killed his relatives and did not say a word about this matter. This incident did not affect Liang Changtai's status. Regarding Hu Chenghe's words, Liang Changtai could only listen. After all, Hu Chenghe was telling the truth.

The army is the foundation of all arms, and both artillery and navy are separated from the army. Navy Commander Lin Jiajun really didn't mean to sit on an equal footing in front of the army commander's moat, he said a little panicked: "Commander Hu, if this matter can be discussed, let's give Political Commissar Ruan an an idea together, and everyone will talk when it's time to speak, this is also a way." ”

There were traitors within the navy, which was very different from what happened to the army stealing maps during the Second Northern Expedition more than a dozen years ago. That time it was just a map theft, and the criminals were also in charge. This time it was a betrayal of military intelligence to foreign countries, and if it was said that there was only such a person being co-opted by foreign devils, Navy Commander Lin Jiajun wanted to say such a thing, but he really didn't dare to say such a thing.

"Humph!" Hu Chenghe snorted, "Since Ruan Xihao went to see Shen Xin, the next step must be to see the governor." What the governor wants to do with Ruan Xihao, we can only listen. ”

"I think ......," Liang Changtai swallowed the rest of the words back into his stomach after saying half a sentence.

Lin Jiajun couldn't help but say: "I don't think the political commissar Ruan knows about this matter, and if the governor deals with it too heavily, it's not appropriate." ”

Hu Chenghe glanced at Lin Jiajun, "Whether it's appropriate or not, we can only talk about it then, after all, it's an old brother, we have to talk when we should speak." ”

Liang Changtai nodded slightly, and he sighed: "It's still that this old Ruan doesn't do things in an orderly way, if only he had contacted his brothers earlier." When it comes to the end, the brothers have to worry about him. ”

Liang Changtai and some people felt that Ruan Xihao should contact his brothers, but Ruan Xihao decided to never betray anyone to him in the spirit of being a good man and a good man. Even if Ruan Xihao is unlucky because of this incident, it is only because Wei Ze wants to punish him, if he betrays his well-intentioned brother, how will Ruan Xihao see people in the future?

When he saw Wei Ze the next day, Ruan Xihao sat on a stool like a primary school student, waiting for Wei Ze to criticize and reprimand. Looking at this expression of looking at death as if he was at home, Wei Zele was happy, "Ruan Xihao, your expression is the same as going to the execution ground of the reactionaries." ”

Hearing Wei Ze's ridicule, Ruan Xihao also felt embarrassed, he lowered his head slightly, "Dudu, I was wrong. ”

"Hehe" Wei Ze put away some smiles, "I now feel that what you think is your fault is not necessarily the same thing as what I think is your fault. Of course, I hope I'm wrong. Comrades are like-minded people, and it would be great if comrades could think and work together in one place. ”

Wei Ze doesn't like to talk privately, so Shen Xin, Lei Hu, Hu Chenghe, Lin Jiajun were present, and several key figures related to this matter have gathered. Seeing that everyone was seated firmly, Wei Ze opened his mouth and said: "What happened, I think you have also heard about it, whether you know everything or not, let Comrade Lin Jiajun introduce the situation first." ”

Lin Jiajun opened the notebook and told the latest situation. In this era, the technical content of espionage activities was relatively low, and in many cases, people did not think about the abnormal movements of some people, and it was easier to catch abnormal agents when they really started to think about it.

The latest intelligence found that seven or eight people in Lan Fang's South China Sea fleet had moved, and after a surprise interrogation and search, six people with unknown money hidden in their homes were arrested. The preliminary result of the interrogation was that three people were involved in smuggling and that three of them had relations with foreigners. And the three guys who have a relationship with foreigners are not only related to foreigners, but also have problems in the customs.

However, this is the initial investigation, and the content of the follow-up investigation has not been sent for the time being. Therefore, the scope of the intelligence network of the foreigners or the British in China has been expanded, and some British people have been hired in the Chinese customs, so this will not be a small incident, and it is really a strict attack, and it is not only the navy that is involved. The government will certainly not be left unattended.

This simple introduction has made Ruan Xiyi understand that the scope and number of people involved are completely beyond his imagination, Ruan Xihao was frightened, and he hurriedly said: "Dudu, I don't know anyone......

Wei Ze waved his hand, "I don't know if it's your direct subordinates, how did I not know that you Ruan Xihao actually managed the navy and customs." ”

Hearing this, Ruan Xihao's heart relaxed a lot. Wei Ze is tantamount to letting go of Ruan Xihao's biggest culpability, without this problem, if Ruan Xihao is thick-skinned enough, he can still beat him up when the navy questions him, accusing the navy of teaching all the good comrades badly.

But Wei Ze did not let Ruan Xihao go, he asked: "I read the report of the Commission for Discipline Inspection, and you actually discussed the question of whether I should go to Hebei to take command of the work. I'm curious, the central government hasn't discussed the results of this matter yet, why are you in Hebei discussing it? Ruan Xihao, you recite to me the three most important aspects of our organizational discipline. ”

Swallowing his saliva, Ruan Xihao thought for a while before saying: "The minority obeys the majority, the subordinates obey the superiors, and the localities obey the central government." ”

"What I mean now is very simple, when the central government decides that it is necessary to involve the local government in the discussion, it will naturally let the local government know the attitude of the central government, so how do you Hebei Province know that I am interested in going to Hebei to direct the work? Could it be that Hebei Province has also set up an intelligence department in the central government? When Wei Ze said that he was already extremely strict, he couldn't see the kind Wei Ze at all.

"Governor, we definitely don't dare to probe into the secrets of the central government." Ruan Xihao's face turned a little pale when he spoke.

Wei Ze was not moved at all, he stared at Ruan Xihao and said loudly: "Comrade Ruan Xihao, the party's philosophy and party policies are completely open, and a large part of the party's resolutions are public. I am more worried about whether the party's work in the four northern provinces will be able to uphold the party's ideas and implement the party's policies, so I want to go to Beijing in person. But the problem now is that there is no resolution at the party meeting, so this matter cannot be discussed according to discipline. I also don't think you will send someone to Nanjing to inquire about the news, so how this news got to you, we must find out. As for the person responsible for the leak, we must punish it. ”

Ruan Xihao's face was already ugly, but under Wei Ze's loud voice, Ruan Xihao's face did not change worse. However, Hu Chenghe and Lin Jiajun's faces have changed a little, and Lei Hu and Shen Xin's faces have also become stern.

"Comrade Nguyen Hee Ho, I now ask you to answer immediately, whether you are willing to tell anyone who has reported to you. Answer now! Weeser continued.

Maybe it was because it was hot in the room, a layer of sweat oozed from Ruan Xihao's forehead, and after a moment of silence, Ruan Xihao raised his head, "Dudu, I did something wrong, I should be punished." But I really can't do the thing of selling my brothers behind my back. ”

"Hehe," Wei Ze sneered, "you can't do anything about selling brothers. I've heard this many times, and too many people said this kind of thing when we were rectifying the wind back then. It is normal for comrades to have such an attitude if the organization makes unreasonable demands on them. Now there are people who have blatantly violated organizational discipline, and if I remember correctly, you Ruan Xihao also voted in favor of these organizational disciplines when they were formulated. Then I'll ask you a question now, do you Ruan Xi Hao disapprove of these organizational disciplines that you once voted for? ”

Without waiting for Ruan Xihao to answer, Hu Chenghe couldn't help but speak: "Governor ......"

Hearing Hu Chenghe interject, Wei Ze turned his face to look at the moat, he was full of water, his eyes were so bright that they seemed to radiate light, Hu Chenghe was shocked by this momentum, and he couldn't speak for a while.

Swallowing slightly, Hu Chenghe cheered up and continued: "Dudu, do you say that everyone knows that this is wrong now, and do you know that doing so will cause great risks. I believe that everyone knows these things, and after listening to your explanation of the party constitution and party discipline one by one, you know that these disciplines are not a joke. But everyone was really negligent in this matter before, so let's hurry up in the future......"

"Hmph" Wei Ze laughed twice without a smile, "If there are really people who think that discipline is not a joke, if there are really people who think that the past is a lesson for the future, then I would like to know who sued Comrade Sù Ruan Xihao that his cousin is a suspect suspected of collaborating with the enemy!" Commander Hu, what do you think? ”
