After sending Liang Ziyue away, Wang Kunjun and the others did not leave the office immediately, but sat down again, brainstormed and discussed a set of regulations on the management of "temporary residence permits." When the matter was settled, they were submitted to an enlarged meeting of the committee for deliberation, and immediately after they were adopted, they were promulgated and strictly implemented in all prefectures, prefectures, and counties of the Beiping Army -- this can be regarded as a remedial remedy for the problem of lax management of "temporary residence permits" exposed by the incident of Zhang Weixin's loss of the highest-level "temporary residence permit."

When a series of things were done, the committee members, who thought they could go home early, reluctantly found that the time had reached the end of the day and the beginning of the morning (9 o'clock in the evening). The four brothers looked at each other, looked at each other and smiled bitterly, shook their heads, and then left the office together and went home.

If Wang Kunjun, Li Junwu, Xu Shaoan and others returned to their respective homes with the shock that there were traitors in the crossing team and the expectation that they were about to successfully crack the organization of the "Feiyantang" in the Beiping Military District, then Zhang Weixin was more depressed and annoyed in addition to shock and expectation. In a sense, the loss of the highest-level "temporary residence permit" incident can be called the biggest mistake in his work since the crossing. Prior to this, whether it was in the work of the committee, or in the foreign exchange group, the Ministry of Political Affairs, or even in Beiping Prefecture, Zhang Weixin had done a conscientious and dedicated job, and was unanimously praised and praised by several other members of the committee, down to the brothers, and all local officials. In Xu Shaoan's ridiculous words, Zhang Weixin can be called a model worker among the "Qingyuan" brothers of the Beiping Army.

But as the saying goes, "hold high, fall hard", and the previous series of praise and praise also invisibly increased Zhang Weixin's pressure, as well as the harsher accusations and criticisms that he may receive after making mistakes in his work. Although in the office just now, whether it was Wang Kunjun, Li Junwu, or Xu Shaoan, they neither criticized Zhang Weixin too much, let alone criticized him, but Zhang Weixin's heart was not easy. Because, if Wang Kunjun and the other three committee members did not severely criticize him, it did not mean that his fault was small, still less that they did not care about his mistake, but that several brothers saved face for him, and did not want his prestige as a member of the committee to be greatly affected by this incident -- after all, the Beiping army was about to move south, and too much entanglement in this matter at this time was not conducive to the unity of the crossing team, and still less to the success of the great cause that the brothers had worked hard for many years.

Second, it was Zhang Weixin who couldn't forgive his mistakes. On the one hand, the harm and hidden dangers brought by the theft of the highest-level "temporary residence permit" to the crossing team and the Beiping Army are obvious to all. If it weren't for Qi An and Tong Ming who surrendered to the Beiping Army because of their discord with their superiors, with the cover of their legal and valid identities provided by these "temporary residence permits", the "Feiyantang" Huairou Branch would probably have taken root in Huairou or in the Beiping Army, and then became a nail in the nail on the Beiping Army by Zhang Yongde's group. Even if the Beiping Army can get rid of it in the future, it will bring up a large piece of flesh and blood in the process of pulling it out because it is too thick and pierced too deep, causing great harm. On the other hand, as a member of the crossing team committee, Zhang Weixin's every move is the focus of attention of the whole team. When he does a good job, people are likely to take it for granted and that this is what he should do as a committee member. But once something goes wrong, he is likely to be infinitely magnified and become the target of everyone's accusations and verbal criticism -- even if the person who stole the highest-level "temporary residence permit" is his own person that everyone will not be wary of at all, and he is a brother who has his head on the ground with everyone. If that time really comes, I'm afraid that he, Zhang Weixin, can only take the blame and resign, resign as a member of the committee, or even resign from the post of head of the Ministry of Political Affairs, and go home like Fan Wucheng to think about it behind closed doors. This is far from and completely contrary to Zhang Weixin's long-standing ideals, which he is absolutely unwilling and cannot accept. Therefore, the frustration and loss in Zhang Wei's confidence at this time can be imagined.

It was with such a feeling of depression, chagrin, frustration, and loss that Zhang Weixin walked into the two-entry courtyard in Jiedu Mansion where his family lived. It is precisely because of the bad mood that Zhang Weixin has no feeling for the festive atmosphere of the New Year in the small courtyard, neither has the heart to watch the colorful glass palace lanterns, nor is he interested in listening to the maid Xiao Yahuan who carries the lantern to guide him to talk about how Mrs. instructed everyone to decorate the courtyard during the day, but while continuing to think about his own thoughts, he subconsciously followed Xiao Yahuan to the backyard. Zhang Weixin's reaction made the little girl who led the way very worried, and she didn't know if she had said the wrong thing and made her master angry. Fortunately, the distance from the gate to the backyard is not far, and in a blink of an eye, it has already arrived in front of the main house in the backyard. Seeing that his master went up the steps of the main house without a sound, the little girl who was in charge of guiding the way hurriedly saluted Zhang Weixin, and then fled back to the front yard.

Zhang Weixin, who was very worried, did not notice Xiao Yahuan's abnormal performance, and what he was thinking about now was not how he should respond to the accusations and criticisms of the brothers once the theft of the highest-level "temporary residence permit" was made public—whether to take the initiative to take the blame and resign, or wait for the committee or the committee's enlarged meeting to deal with it. That is, whether Liang Ziyue can wipe out the Huairou branch of the "Feiyan Hall" when he goes to Huairou, whether he can grasp the whereabouts of Zhang Yan and his backbone subordinates through this operation, and whether he can minimize the losses caused by the theft of the "temporary residence permit" at the highest level through the operation of completely destroying the "Feiyan Tang" in the Beiping Army intelligence network, and so on. It wasn't until he pushed open the door of the main hall and was awakened by the sound of laughter coming from inside that he slowly came back to his senses and subconsciously raised his eyes to look into the room.

A guest at home came to visit -- this was Zhang Weixin's first reaction after seeing the situation in the house. When he saw the visitor's appearance, he was a little surprised. Because it was none other than Yang Xiaolian, the sister of his wife Yang Xiaoyun, and Gao Jun, who had married Yang Xiaolian at the beginning of this year, was both his brother and his brother-in-law, and ranked last among the "Qingyuan" brothers.

The reason why Zhang Weixin was surprised was not that Yang Xiaolian was here, but that Yang Xiaolian's husband and her thirty-sixth brother Gao Jun also came to visit her with her. Because, as the only person who was successfully wooed by Fan Wucheng before, he seemed to be a die-hard supporter of Fan Wucheng, and after Fan Wucheng was dismissed from office at the enlarged meeting of the committee, he was dissatisfied with the four members and the decision of the enlarged meeting of the committee. Therefore, in the face of Gao Jun, who appeared in his home again after two months, how could Zhang Weixin not feel surprised and sudden!
