The pressure is not only Geng Chaozhong, but also Liu Yiban.

Liu Yiban's office is located in a three-story German-style building opposite the former Jiaoao Governor's Mansion on Hunan Road, opposite the current Qingdao Special Municipal Government of the Republic of China. Originally, Liu Yiban had always been working in the opposite city government, but with the expansion of manpower and the need for secrecy, Liu Yiban had to move here with his brothers.

At this moment, Liu Yiban was sitting in his office, looking at a young man in front of him who was sweating profusely to revise the manuscript, with an expression of sadness more than death.

Although Wang Fuyuan's death brought short-term happiness to Liu Yiban, what happened next made people very unhappy. Wang Fuyuan's death directly stimulated a strong backlash from the reorganization faction headed by Chen Gongbo, who unanimously believed that it was President Jiang who instructed the newly established CC Department to assassinate Wang Fuyuan, and then blamed the CCP. Even if it is not, the CC department will not escape the relationship, because Wang Fuyuan's whereabouts are so secretive, and the CCP has sent people to assassinate several times and was captured, how can it be so smooth this time? There must be an insider tipping the news.

Who tipped off? The head of the Party Affairs Investigation Section of the Island City, the second confidant, and the notorious "keep half" are naturally the first to take the blame.

Although this pot was carried on the back, it was not done by Liu Yiban anyway, and there was no evidence, but the counterattack of the reorganization faction came quickly.

At the Second Shandong Provincial Congress of the Kuomintang held in Tai'an in mid-June, the reorganization faction collectively exerted its efforts and passed a resolution opposing the appointment and demarcation of delegates to the Third National Congress by the Kuomintang Central Committee in Nanjing, and elected the Second Shandong Executive Committee of the Kuomintang, which was mainly composed of Wang Lizai, a member of the reorganization faction.

The Shandong branch of the Kuomintang has already torn its face with the Nanjing Party Central Committee and is completely opposite to each other!

What's more, there are also Han Fuqu and other old departments of the Feng Beiyang warlords who are adding fuel to the fire, trying to counter the Nanjing Central Committee through the reorganization faction, and strive to protect their own one-third of an acre of land in Shandong.

So Liu Yiban couldn't stay in the city government for a moment, everyone either spat or rolled their eyes when they saw him, and they had to bear it.

Even President Chang has recently been heartbroken about the affairs of Shandong, the north has always been the top priority of the national revolution, although Wu Peifu in Hebei was defeated, Zhang Shaoshuai in the northeast also announced the change of banner, Yan Dashuai in Shanxi and Feng Dashuai in Henan also expressed their submission, but after all, reunification is a formality, and the current pattern is obvious:

The center of the south, the warlords of the north! Although the local government officials in the north were appointed by the central government in Nanjing, all the government's financial resources came from the local government.

Therefore, Liu Yiban's task is very heavy, and he must closely monitor the political tendencies of local officials, and at the same time prevent the resurgence of the Communist Party, and at the same time closely monitor the "bad" ideological trends in the local cultural circles.

So Liu Yiban began to expand the team vigorously, from the Jianghu gang to the local ruffians, and some rural youths who came from small places to beg for a living, and went to private schools for a few years, Liu Yiban did not refuse all of them, and in just a few months, the manpower under Liu Yiban has swelled from more than 50 people to more than 200 people!

But when there are more people, the quality decreases.

Take the young man in front of him who sorted out the manuscript as an example, when he was looking for an errand, he swore that he had read high school and could write articles. But as soon as I got started, I realized that his so-called ability to write an article was to be able to write a departmental notice of less than 300 words, and he had to check the dictionary to write.

"Go, go, get out of the squad for Lao Tzu! If you don't know how many taels of dry rice you eat, don't pick up a burden of 200 catties! Niang Xipi! ”

Looking at the so-called "secretary" who crawled out with a roll, Liu Yiban felt irritable for a while, and couldn't help but get a sentence of "national scolding", from the principal to the principal's chamberlain to Er Chen and his CC department, almost all Zhejiang villagers followed President Jiang to carry forward these three words.

Northerners are so good at bragging! No wonder the principal likes to use fellow villagers, but no one else can use it!

As Erchen's confidant and fellow countryman, a hardcore native of Wuxing, Zhejiang, although Liu Yiban has only studied in private school for a few years, his knowledge is much higher than that of these people who claim to have graduated from high school.

Forget it, let's change it yourself!

Liu Yiban took the manuscript, picked up the pen, and began to revise word by word under the dim light like a bean:

The Nanjing Central Party Department held that the members of the Kuomintang Shandong Executive Committee elected by the local party organizations in Shandong were illegal, unreasonable, and did not conform to procedures. In view of this, the Central Party Department decided to veto the resolution of the congress and the election results, and the meeting was null and void. The CPC Central Committee decided to immediately suspend the functions and powers of the Shandong Provincial Party Affairs Steering Committee and set up a Shandong Provincial Party Affairs Sorting Committee composed of Liu Lianyi, He Siyuan, Yan Shifu, and others.

The list is as follows: Liu Lianyi, He Siyuan, Yan Shifu....

Just then, there was a sharp knock on the door.

"Come in!" Liu Yiban was a little surprised, during this time, except for the occasional strike in the Japanese yarn factory on Tianjin Road, there was no major event in the place, and the trivial matter of stealing chickens and dogs in general was handled by the gang of black skins in the police station, and he couldn't interfere.

A young man in his early twenties, wearing a short, half-sleeved black shirt, walked in and said without saying hello:

"Report to the boss, something happened at the Sifang Road Police Station!"

"Speak!" Liu Yiban came to the spirit all of a sudden.

"At five o'clock this afternoon, Director Zhu Muyun of the Sifang Road Police Station reported that Geng Chaozhong, the patrol officer of the Institute, stole the official document sent from Beiping from the archives of the police station, and was discovered by Zhu Muyun, the director of the inspection who came back to inspect, and Geng Chaozhong absconded after injuring Zhu Muyun during the competition, and Director Zhu now seriously suspects that Geng Chaozhong is the Hebei thief who absconded from Beiping to Qing: Yanzi Li San!"

Liu Yiban's eyes widened when he heard this, revealing a look of disbelief, and after a while, he suddenly began to scold:

"Mother, Xipi! What nonsense! Yanzi Li San was arrested last month and is still being held in the Beiping Detention Center! You don't know this news, can Lao Tzu not know?! Besides, Li Jinghua is almost forty, how can he be a hairy boy? ”

Scolding and scolding, Liu Yiban's voice suddenly became low, and his expression began to become thoughtful.

Yes, I know, but Zhu Muyun doesn't know? This news is top secret, Beiping has ordered that no one is allowed to leak the news, it is said that Section Chief Hu of Beiping wants to absorb this swallow Li San into the CC department.

Besides, Shangfeng told himself that although Li San was arrested, his apprentices Li Shengwu and Duan Yunpeng were on the run, and it is said that Li Shengwu came to Jinan in the first half of this year, could this Geng Chaozhong be?

You must know that this swallow Li San is not an ordinary person, he has been rampant in the Pingjin area for ten years, and even the private residence of Duan Qirui, the prime minister of the Beiyang government, and the great warlord Zhang Zongchang have been patronized by him, and he is definitely a rare talent for the current CC department! Beiping catches the master and I catch the apprentice, it's not too much!

Thinking of this, Liu Yiban's face was solemn, and he sternly ordered his subordinates in front of him: "Xiaoqu, the news that Yanzi Li San has been caught, don't leak it to anyone!" ”

After waiting for the subordinate named Xiaoqu to walk out, Liu Yiban showed a look of three points of doubt and seven points of doubt.

"What the hell is this Zhu Muyun doing?"

PS: On July 3, 1929, Beiping's "Yishi Bao" reported "The thief who walked on the wall escaped from prison and was arrested", which indicated that the arrested person was Yanzi Li San and Li Jinghua. This article is for rationalization. Li San's apprentice Duan Yunpeng later joined the military command, which will be mentioned later in this novel.
