Chapter 20: Trouble Comes to the Door
"Let's talk about it! Who else knows what you did! Tang Cheng sat down on the stone bench again, the expression on his face was slightly softened than just now, but the coldness in his words did not diminish in the slightest. Zhao Dashan and Lao Fu glanced at each other when they heard this, from the beginning of the formation of the search team to the present, Tang Cheng rarely spoke in such a tone, which shows that Tang Cheng would be sincerely angry.
"One of the nephews of Lao Liu's own family has been in the dried fruit business, and he is very familiar with the northwest, and he was entrusted to take it away, so I am afraid that he will have arrived in Xi'an." Lao Fu didn't dare to guess Tang Cheng's intentions this time, but just honestly informed Tang Cheng of the matter. "In our team, only the two of us and the sixth child know about this, and then the Xie family brothers on the other side of the dock, and they were sent away by their boats. The nephew of the sixth child has already started a family in Xi'an, and he will not come back a year ago. ”
Tang Cheng didn't speak, just closed his eyes and secretly calculated in his heart. Among the people Lao Fu just mentioned, Tang Cheng was only familiar with the sixth child, and Tang Cheng had never seen the Cai family brothers who ate by water on the dock. After thinking for a while, Tang Cheng finally opened his eyes and looked at Zhao Dashan and Lao Fu, "This matter ends here, when you get out of this door, you will forget about it for me!" If you find that someone is inquiring about the affairs of the Cao family, no matter who the other party is, you must not act rashly, come to me immediately. ”
Even if Tang Cheng now ordered to get rid of the Cai family brothers on the dock, he couldn't guarantee that this matter would not be leaked. Tang Cheng, who originally wanted to make amends, suddenly changed his mind, he planned to wait and see, as long as there was no reaction on the shore of Chongqing Station, he planned to pretend that nothing had happened. Tang Cheng wanted to wait and see what happened, but Chongqing Station didn't want Tang Cheng to have a better time, and only one day later, someone from Chongqing Station came to find Zhang Jianghe.
"I don't know about what you said, and besides, the search team and we are only in a cooperative relationship with us, whether it is a subordinate relationship or staffing, I have no right to speak." If it weren't for Yu Haiguang personally bringing people to the barracks, Zhang Jianghe wouldn't have bothered to delay time and energy with the other party. "Old Yu, what's going on now, I don't believe you can't see it. We are old acquaintances, so I'll say a few more words, don't do the quick deeds of relatives and enemies, otherwise your reputation will stink home. ”
Zhang Jianghe is an old man in the military, and he is an old acquaintance with Yu Haiguang, so he uses this tone to talk to Yu Haiguang, and others can only watch and listen, but they dare not make excessive moves against Zhang Jianghe. Zhang Jianghe's words were deliberately said in front of those people under Yu Haiguang, and he dared to do this to show that he was not afraid of Yu Haiguang and their black tricks. When Yu Haiguang heard this, he could only smile bitterly, Zhang Jianghe was famous for his stubborn temper when he was in the Nanjing headquarters.
"Lao Zhang, we are old acquaintances, you should know what kind of person I am! The matter of the Cao family has already been reported to the headquarters, I came here this time, just to find out the ins and outs of the matter, if I wait for the headquarters to send someone over, it will not be as easy to talk as me. Yu Haiguang had a kind attitude, but what he said made Zhang Jianghe's heart secretly tighten. If this matter really has reached the military command headquarters, the situation that Yu Haiguang just said may really occur.
"Forget it, don't tell me so much! I'll call Tang Cheng here, and you can ask him yourself!" "Zhang Jianghe pushed Tang Cheng out at this time, but he didn't want to get himself out of this matter first. Judging from Yu Haiguang's words and attitude just now, Zhang Jianghe felt that the other party didn't seem to be looking for trouble on purpose, Tang Cheng, as the captain of the search team, always had to face some things, and escaping was not the best way to solve the problem.
Tang Cheng, who was sorting out those confiscated goods in the backyard of the barracks, soon appeared in Zhang Jianghe's office, and had already received a reminder from Zhang Jianghe and his secretary, and Tang Cheng could not see the slightest panic on his face. "Stationmaster Yu, I do know what you said." In front of Zhang Jianghe, Tang Cheng, who ignored the other party's hints, spoke bluntly. "I thought it was just a small thing, but I didn't expect it to alarm the stationmaster Yu!" The three words of the little things in Tang Cheng's words not only did Zhang Jianghe not expect, but even Yu Haiguang, who was full of confidence, did not expect Tang Cheng to be so qualitative.
"The little things? Do you know what you're talking about? Stationmaster Yu is here to investigate this matter! I will say whatever I ask you, and you can't hide what your subordinates have made trouble about, and you, as a captain, can't hide it, otherwise even if the military law can't help you, the family law can punish you one or two. It didn't mean that Haiguang opened his mouth to speak, Zhang Jianghe wanted to say it first, and he was hinting at Tang Cheng in and out of his words, but Tang Cheng directly pretended not to understand his kind hints.
Yu Haiguang is not stupid, plus his personal relationship with Zhang Jianghe is not bad, he has long known the relationship between Tang Cheng and Zhang Jianghe, and he has no idea of using this matter to rectify Tang Cheng. "Captain Tang, you also heard Stationmaster Zhang's words just now, if it is the fault of your subordinates, you only need to hand over the people to me. Our military commander is not a brocade guard, and he never sits on a company, not to mention that your father was also a member of our military commander. ”
Yu Haiguang can say this, he plans to let Tang Cheng go, but Tang Cheng doesn't appreciate it. "Stationmaster Yu, I just said, I have already done to understand the matter you said, and it is a trivial matter, but I didn't expect your army to hold on to it." Tang Cheng's words made Zhang Jianghe's face change again, if it weren't for seeing Tang Cheng's eyes, Zhang Jianghe would have been eager to find a piece of adhesive tape right now and stick Tang Cheng's mouth up. Tang Cheng paused, glanced at Yu Haiguang first, and saw that the other party had a calm expression, and Tang Cheng, who was secretly smiling in his heart, continued to speak.
"I say it's a small thing because I really don't think there's anything about it! Sixteen members of the Cao family were arrested, this is only the direct population of the Cao family, if all the Cao clansmen in and around Chongqing are arrested, it will be more than 100 people. The Cao family collaborated with the enemy, and only sold economic intelligence, and this kind of crime was already considered the limit of punishing the family property and arresting the entire immediate population. There are not one or two people in the Cao family's side branch who left Chongqing, why did your focus fall on the two side branch juniors? Yu stationmaster, you might as well say it clearly. ”
Tang Cheng's explanation, in Haiguang's view, is simply full of flaws, because the search team does not have the right to determine who is suspected and who is innocent, and the military commander is the one who has the right to screen whether the Cao family is innocent. The fleeting impatience in Yu Haiguang's expression was seen by Tang Cheng, who was secretly paying attention to Yu Haiguang's reaction, so it didn't mean that Haiguang spoke, so Tang Cheng continued to speak.
"Stationmaster Yu, our search team is nominally under the control of your Chongqing station, but in fact, you and I both know that this article is basically not valid. I formed this search team because my uncle and I had just gone south to Chongqing, and in order to help my uncle gain a firm foothold in Chongqing as soon as possible, I formed this search team. For a long time, the cooperation between the search team and the Chongqing station has been quite good, we help find clues, are responsible for the early tracking and surveillance work, and then cooperate with the Chongqing station to carry out the arrest. You want credit and results, and we get the corresponding bonuses, and I always feel that this cooperation model is very good. ”
"Now the situation has changed, the butterfly team has a great impact, and the Cao family case is also because of the arrest of this butterfly team. Now, the results have been returned to your Chongqing station, and you have also taken most of the benefits, leaving only a little leftovers for our search team. I won't go into details, it's just a small matter, you have to make it look like the sky is falling, do you have to take a few people from me to finish? Stationmaster Yu, you can give a happy word today, it's a big deal that I will disband the search team! ”
"I'm the captain of the search team, and if there is a problem with my people, naturally I, the captain, will carry it, and disband the search team, I feel that it's almost over!" Tang Cheng deliberately put on a mixed face at this moment, just to force Yu Haiguang, the new stationmaster, to express his position, if Yu Haiguang still wants to hold Zhao Dashan accountable, Tang Cheng really has the idea of disbanding the search team immediately. As long as Zhang Jianghe was still the deputy head of Chongqing Station, Tang Cheng knew that he would never be held accountable by the military commanders.
Tang Cheng put on a non-hesitant attitude, Zhang Jianghe immediately kept silent, even if Yu Haiguang glanced at him vigorously, Zhang Jianghe just pretended to drink tea, and didn't raise his eyes to look at Yu Haiguang at all. Yu Haiguang was helpless, Zhao Dashan and their private release of people was actually big or small, Yu Haiguang personally came to Zhang Jianghe, and he just wanted to use this matter to control Tang Cheng, and it was best to force Tang Cheng to spit out the benefits of the search team and hand them over to Chongqing Station for disposal.
But Yu Haiguang didn't expect that Tang Cheng's reaction would be so great, instead of being bluffed by himself, he took his own army. "Captain Tang laughed at this, before I came to Chongqing, the headquarters had already made a conclusion about Captain Tang's ability. The bureau even praised Captain Tang many times as a party-state cadre, and when he mentioned Captain Tang, he said that there was a successor to the military command. When your father was still around, we had a good relationship, and Stationmaster Zhang can testify to this. ”
Yu Haiguang was not stupid, so he immediately expressed his attitude, and even took Tang Cheng's late father to talk about it, so as to bring the relationship between himself and Tang Cheng closer. "Yo! I really don't know this, but if I say that, I should call you Uncle Yu! I just talked nonsense, Uncle Yu, don't take it seriously! Tang Cheng, who has experienced so many things, is no longer an ignorant teenager when he was still in Nanjing, seeing that Yu Haiguang took the initiative to get closer, Tang Cheng immediately grinned and climbed along the pole, which made Zhang Jianghe secretly roll his eyes.
