"Don't think I'm a fake good person," Zhuang Jihua was stunned when he saw Zhang Qiang, and then he looked indifferent, and he knew what he was thinking, so he said lightly: "You think wrong, if you don't kill you, you are just a chess piece in the hands of others, a little stupid, you have been used by others, the real culprit is not you." ”

These words made Zhang Qiang a little confused, he was not the culprit, just someone else's chess piece, a puppet, which made him a little unbearable, he rushed out: "It's not me, who is it?" ”

Zhuang Jihua paused, looked up at him carefully, and asked a little strangely: "Why do you hope it's you?" The assassination of a member of the Central Committee, the director of the Yucheng camp, and the mayor and deputy mayor of Yucheng City, this crime is not small, and it is equivalent to rebellion in the former Qing Dynasty, and you want to destroy the nine clans, do you hope it is you? ”

"I ,...." Zhang Qiang was speechless for a while, and then said hatefully: "I just want to know, who is that bastard?" ”

Zhuang Jihua smiled, this Zhang Qiang is not stupid, it is estimated that he has understood that this matter has been done, he is a scapegoat, and if he doesn't, he is also a scapegoat, but the other party is more clever and did not meet him.

"You don't need to know this, but it's definitely not you," Zhuang Jihua of course couldn't tell him, there were too many things in it, if he yelled out, Nanjing Political Axe would have to collapse half, and the Department of Political Science would not take the opportunity to completely overturn the CC Department: "You'd better not know, and don't inquire, you may not even know how to die, you just need to think about it, why do you want to kill me, but what others arranged for you was that I and Mayor Yang appeared at the same time, and there were other people among the people who shot, That's just how you know it's intriguing. ”

Zhang Qiang's vest was wet with sweat, and he thought back to the process of sending people out, although he was very angry at the time, but there was no factor that someone provoked.

"It's just a pity for your brothers." Zhuang Jihua faintly threw out a sentence, which made Zhang Qiang's heart rise again.

"Since you can let me go, can you let them go too?" Zhang Qiang asked a little nervously.

"You can say this sentence with a bit of conscience," Zhuang Jihua shook his head and said: "Actually, you should know that when you send them out, they should be dead, and we didn't catch your adjutant, but he should be dead." ”

Since Zhang Qiang can be the head of the regiment, he is not completely reckless, he immediately understood what Zhuang Jihua meant, since someone wants to kill them, then the person who responds to them is naturally the one who kills them, thinking of this, he can't help but shudder, if they don't miss, I'm afraid even he will not be able to escape the disaster of extermination.

"Is it so scary to cut rent and interest?" When Zhuang Jihua saw his expression, he knew that he had figured things out, but he had a question in his heart, why did these people dare to assassinate high-ranking political officials and high-ranking generals of the army in the face of the world's condemnation, was it really for so much money?

"My family is not short of that little money, the land rent has been supported and negotiated by both sides in the past dynasties, and I have not heard of high coercion, why do you want to force rent reduction and interest reduction." Zhang Qiang was silent for a while and asked rhetorically.

Zhuang Jihua said a little strangely: "Why do you want to reduce rent and interest rates, there have been a lot of discussions in the newspaper during this time, and the reason is very clear, you haven't read the newspaper?" ”

"Hmph, we are soldiers running around all day long, south of Sichuan, east and west of Sichuan, suppressing bandits everywhere, so how long do you have to read the newspaper?"

"It's no wonder, I'll explain it briefly," Zhuang Jihua thought about it thoughtfully, and it seemed that the army's ideological work should be strengthened: "The purpose of reducing rent and interest rates is to improve the economic situation in the rural areas and reduce the burden on the peasants. The reason is that the duty of the political axe is to protect the weak and maintain fairness and justice, and in the relationship between the tenant and the tenant, the tenant farmer is in a weak position, and the landlord has the wealth of the land and has a much stronger social relationship than the tenant farmer, so they are in a strong position when discussing rent. A simple example is seventy percent of the land rent, this rent is too high, you are a soldier and you are also from the countryside, when you know how much a soldier and a farmer have to eat every day, and what is the yield per mu, how much can thirty percent leave for them? Is it enough for them to eat? Will it be enough for them to feed their families? Why are bandits suppressed inexhaustibly, and why are rent and tenant resistance repeatedly occurring; Lenin famously said that poverty is the best assistant to the revolution. To tell the truth, their greed is beyond my imagination, the political axe exempted all agricultural taxes, they actually dared to increase the tenants, and the profits of the political axe to the peasants were actually all taken into their pockets, why did they dare to do this? It's because of their strong position.

Improving the lives of peasants, it will improve the rural economy, the end of the dynasties is after the bankruptcy of the rural economy, the peasants rebelled, many people blamed the emperor, thinking that he was arrogant and extravagant, in fact, they forgot, the greater responsibility is the landlord gentry in the countryside, the exploitation of the landlord gentry, their greed forced the peasants to Liangshan, only to pick up the knife and gun, from the death to find a way to live, so at that time the first to suffer was the landlord gentry in the countryside. ”

Zhang Qiang listened to it ignorantly for a long time, Zhuang Jihua looked at him, and felt a little funny in his heart, it seems that this is not something that can be said clearly in a few words, he sighed and said: "You go, rest assured, no one will chase you." ”

Zhang Qiang hesitated to turn around and leave, but suddenly asked, "Sir, my father... Can.... ”

Zhuang Jihua looked at him like looking at a monster, he seemed to be fine, and began to plead with him, just like looking for his boss who had been with him for many years, didn't he know that he didn't deal with him entirely because of his own tolerance.

Looking at Zhang Qiang's melancholy and hopeful eyes, he couldn't help but shake his head: "Military law is ruthless, civil law is also ruthless, go home, if your father has no problem, apply to the court to release from detention." ”

The release of Zhang Qiang is a strong signal released by Zhuang Jihua to all the heroes in Sichuan: The matter has ended here, and it will not be pursued further. But Zhuang Jihua is not blindly a good person, he doesn't plan to let go of Li Haoyi, and he has to settle the new and old accounts together.

Zhuang Jihua sent the evidence he had to Chen Lifu, including the confessions of Uncle Nie, the deputy stationmaster Yan Kun and others, Wang Xiaoshan was ruthless this time, and secretly examined all of Li Haoyi's cronies in the station, and as a result, all these people confessed, and the confession was immediately transferred to Zhuang Jihua.

Chen Lifu knew what Zhuang Jihua was going to do when he got the confession, and he knew that he had to give Zhuang Jihua an explanation, otherwise Zhuang Jihua would never give up. Chen Lifu immediately ordered Xu Enzeng to propose to Chiang Kai-shek on charges of embezzlement [***] to detain Li Haoyi and send him to Nanjing for trial.

Chiang Kai-shek took Xu Enzeng's report with cold eyes, but he didn't ask a word, just stared at him, Xu Enzeng's heart was empty, he didn't know if Chiang Kai-shek knew about it, and it took a long time for Chiang Kai-shek to put pen to paper and approve four words on the report: Shoot on the spot. Then he said coldly: "In the future, we will strengthen supervision, and if something like this happens again, you will take off your head yourself." ”

Xu Enzeng's forehead was sweating, and he knew in his heart that Chiang Kai-shek already knew the reason, but he didn't want to track it down.

"What does this Zhuang Cultural Revolution mean, on the one hand, he showed favor to us, and on the other hand, he secretly reported to the chairman, flattering both sides, it is really not a thing." After Xu Enzeng came out, he complained to Chen Lifu.

"Forget it, this was not done by Zhuang Wenge," Chen Lifu bit his cigar and shook his head, "It was Dai Li or Yang Yongtai who did it, and it is not a fuel-efficient lamp." ”

"So what now?" Xu Enzeng was a little dazed.

"What else can I do, of course, according to the chairman's wishes!" Chen Lifu said categorically.

"Then is Yucheng handed over to Wang Xiaoshan?"

Chen Lifu pondered, he didn't know if taking out Li Haoyi would satisfy Zhuang Jihua, after all, this was not an ordinary thing, it was an assassination, a direct threat to life, and he decided to take another step.

"Let Li Anguo serve as the section chief, and Hua Chun as the deputy section chief." Chen Lifu's arrangement surprised Xu Enzeng, doesn't this mean that he handed over all the Yucheng Party Affairs Investigation Section to Zhuang Jihua? But looking at Chen Lifu's gloomy face, he no longer objected.

Li Haoyi has been feeling very bad recently, those who stayed in Yucheng at the time of the incident were censored, and his cronies disappeared one by one for a period of time and reappeared, on the surface, there was nothing abnormal, but when his deputy Yan Kun was sent to Qijiang, the contact with Wuhan was also ended, and now he felt that something was wrong.

After hesitating for two days, he decided to leave, of course, secretly, but due to the renovation of Yucheng in the past two years, it seems easy to leave secretly like this, but it is actually more difficult, because the dock station is a strictly controlled location. Li Haoyi decided to take the train to Chengdu first, and then find a way to get to Chengdu.

During the day he still went to work in Corey, and when night fell, he returned home as usual, turned on the light, sat alone on the sofa and smoked, thinking back on his struggles over the years, he felt so powerless, as if there was an invisible net, always hanging over his head, no matter how he struggled, he could never break through this net, the corners of his eyes were moist, he did not understand why there were always people who wanted to stop him, there were always people who did not want to see a poor and talented person like him get ahead.

Wiping away the tears from the corners of his eyes, he lifted the small box next to him, did not turn off the light, if anyone watched, they would think that he was still in the house, he gently opened the door, looked left and right, and then flashed out the door, and closed the door casually. He knew that he must not go through the front door, so he quietly walked to the back door, and when he opened the courtyard door, there was an alley paved with cool stone slabs.

He slowly walked into the alley, and just halfway through, two people wearing top hats flashed out of the alley, and a voice came from behind him: "Section Chief Li, where are you going?" ”

Wang Xiaoshan looked at Li Haoyi's slightly thin back expressionlessly, and the small suitcase ............ slammed to the ground.

After his faith was shattered, betrayal became his only way to survive, and he always thought that he could exchange other people's bones for power and glory, so he failed. Such people have existed before, there are now, and there will still be such people.

Zhuang Jihua knew that he had to explain to Yang Yongtai that it was him who Er Chen wanted to kill after all, but he didn't expect Yang Yongtai to say with a pleasant face after listening to his reason: "You fought this battle beautifully, and your maturity is faster than I imagined." You're about to become a politician. ”

"Are you praising me or am you belittleing me?" Zhuang Jihua asked bitterly, and Yang Yongtai couldn't help but be happy.

A politician is one who doesn't care whether it is just or not, and only asks whether it is beneficial to himself; God knows if this is positive or derogatory, maybe it's a bit of a both.

Yes, his obstacles have been removed, Chen Lifu has compromised, Liu Xiang has also compromised, the rent reduction and interest reduction can be carried out smoothly, and the reserve system can be established, what else? The next is the army, and he wants to train a new army equipped with new tactical ideas and new firepower.
