Chapter 17: Finding Evidence

"Chairman, Zheng Runcheng said that Sheng Shi is a capable handsome talent, and he has said this more than once. At a military and political summit held at the provincial government today, Zheng Runcheng publicly announced his resignation and gave up the post of chairman of the military branch to Sheng Shicai. Hu Feiguan and Zheng Runcheng called him by his name, and Gou Tianxiao immediately changed his words as soon as he said the three words of the chairman.

"Then Sheng Shicai will take over as the chairman of the military branch?" Hu Fei understood in his heart, and asked again unwillingly.

Zheng Runcheng has always been thinking about the major events of the anti-Japanese resistance, and the position of chairman of the military branch that made countless people blush, but it is not as important to him as he is to go to the battlefield to fight. Hu Fei knew from the beginning that Zheng Runcheng would resign sooner or later, he just didn't expect this day to come so soon.

"Nope." Gou Tianxiao shook his head and denied it, which made Hu Fei's mood relax a little.

"Whew, count him on current affairs!"

Liu Wenlong, chairman of the government, gave Sheng Shicai a post of temporary governor of Xinjiang Province. I don't know what this superintendent is responsible for. Gou Tianxiao scratched his head, he really couldn't figure out how he could suddenly have such a nondescript position as a temporary supervisor.

"What's the matter? Hmph, he can do whatever he wants! Temporary supervision? Such a creative position Sheng Shicai can also think of him, he is really a character! Okay, you go and inquire and see what Sheng Shicai has done every day since he became this temporary superintendent. ”

Hu Fei seems to be very wary of Sheng Shi. Although Liu Dong and Gou Tianxiao didn't know the reason, since Hu Fei said so, the two of them could only follow Hu Fei's train of thought. Spy on Sheng Shicai and collect Sheng Shicai's intelligence from this day.

After Zheng Runcheng resigned from the post of chairman of the military branch, he immediately began to intensively prepare the volunteer army and was ready to go to the anti-Japanese front at any time. Hu Fei's Einsatzgruppen also began to get nervous, and every day except for waiting for the distribution of baggage equipment and training, they didn't even have a day to spare.

In January of the 22nd year of the Republic of China, Ma Zhongying of Ningxia led the 36th Division to Xinjiang and occupied Turpan. After the April 12 coup, Ma Zhongying used the excuse of mediation and often sent troops to the vicinity of Dihua to harass him.

Zheng Yuncheng has resigned from the post of chairman of the military branch, and he is now the commander-in-chief of the Volunteer Army. The Volunteers were preparing to enter the border to resist the war, so they naturally had no interest in participating in the internal disputes in Xinjiang. When Ma Zhongying's troops harassed around Dihua, his small force clashed with the Volunteers, only to be defeated by the Volunteers with a fierce counterattack, and then Ma Zhongying led his troops to withdraw.

Zheng Runcheng did not lead his troops in pursuit, the volunteers continued to garrison the military camp outside Dihua City, and Ma Zhongying did not attack the volunteers again.

As the temporary governor of Xinjiang Province, especially Sheng Shicai, who still pursues revenge, Ma Zhongying's provocative behavior is completely intolerable!

Sheng Shicai has soldiers at hand, and nearly 5,000 Xinjiang soldiers are the strength of Sheng Shicai, the commander-in-chief of the East Road Bandits. His 5,000 soldiers and Ma Zhongying are a little weak in the fight, and if the two sides meet hard, Sheng Shicai will almost be defeated.

At this time, the 24,000 soldiers and civilians of the Volunteer Army became a decisive force. The scheming Sheng Shicai deliberately wanted the volunteers to stay in Xinjiang to help him quell the rebellion.

Zheng Yuncheng was bent on fighting a decisive battle with the Japanese invaders, and for this reason he even did not hesitate to resign as the provisional chairman. And Zheng Runcheng is the commander-in-chief of the Volunteer Army, if Zheng Runcheng is not convinced, it will be difficult to imagine the difficulty of leaving the Volunteer Army.

In order to achieve the goal of dividing and disintegrating the Volunteer Army, Sheng Shi found all kinds of excuses and used various means to contact the middle and senior officers of the Volunteer Army. Bribery, co-optation, voting, coercion, all kinds of tricks that can be on the table and can't be on the table are used in turns, and he really won over some of the leaders of the volunteers.

Zheng Runcheng devoted himself to the construction of the team, waiting for the telegram from the central government every day, and it can be said that he was completely unaware of Sheng Shicai's conspiracy. And Hu Fei has long been wary of Sheng Shicai, and most of Sheng Shicai's division and co-optation of the generals of the Volunteer Army has been mastered by Hu Fei.

In this regard, Hu Fei once went to Zheng Runcheng to report this matter. Who knew that Zheng Runcheng not only didn't pay attention to it, but was extremely dissatisfied with Hu Fei's behavior of casually sending people to spy on Sheng Shicai, and even reprimanded Hu Fei on the spot!

Zheng Runcheng's incomprehension and attitude towards this matter made Hu Fei very angry. However, after all, Zheng Runcheng is the supreme leader of the Volunteer Army, and Hu Fei does not want to be infamous as a criminal and disrespectful officer. Therefore, in response to Zheng Runcheng's sharp reprimand, he chose to endure. Keep your head down and keep silent, and let you say unpleasant things!

After leaving Zheng Runcheng's place, Hu Fei and his generals set a tactic when he returned, doubling the surveillance of Sheng Shicai from now on! Take out all your energy to infiltrate the people around Sheng Shicai, what cooks, nannies, secretaries, and grooms, as long as you know, you have to try to infiltrate and win over, and the method is the same as Sheng Shicai's dealing with the generals of the Volunteer Army, which is called treating others in the way of others.

Anyway, no matter what, we must grasp the handle of Sheng Shicai. It's best to catch a few typical ones on the spot and let Zheng Runcheng go to see them on the spot! Let's see what Commander-in-Chief Zheng has to say at that time!

On this day, Hu Fei was wiping his ghost head knife, and Liu Dong quietly came in to sue him, according to the exact information, Sheng Shicai was going to attack Liu Kuaileg today! The way to start is probably related to women, and the location is in the Xicheng Hotel!

Something to do with women? Hu Fei's eyes rolled, could it be that Sheng Shi is the one who wants to deal with Liu Kuai's wife, Hua Butterfly? But when he thought of Hua Butterfly's extraordinary skills, ten times stronger than a man's temperament, Hu Fei quickly shook his head again. Who dares to provoke this, then it is better to provoke a tigress! Shrewdness like prosperity should not make such a mistake, right?

Anyway, since he knew that something was going to happen, Hu Fei had no reason not to ignore it. Especially Liu Kuaijiao has a little friendship with him, knowing that others are going to be unlucky, if he doesn't pull it, then it's not authentic, right?

Let's go, let's go! Hu Fei changed into civilian clothes, wore a small flower hat on his head, tied the dagger in his trouser leg, and took Li San, Gou Tianxiao and a dozen other people out of the barracks and mixed into Dihua City.

Xicheng Hotel is still in the west of the city. The building is not high, with a total of three floors. The yard is quite large, estimated to be thousands of square meters. There were more than a dozen horses tied to the trees at the head of the courtyard, and a few cars were placed against the wall.

As soon as Hu Fei came in, a young man came up to greet him. Gou Tianxiao next to him grabbed the little guy and quietly stuffed him with a few pieces of money, and then grabbed the shop guy's shoulder and whispered a few words in his ear. The young man stuffed the money in his pocket and turned around and smiled at Hu Fei and the others, turned his head and went to work for others.
