Chapter 159: Shocking News (I)

Lanzhou is more than a thousand miles away from Beiping City, and no matter how fast Zhang Neng spends up and how quickly he has, he will have to spend this Chinese New Year's Eve (Spring Festival) on the road. And at the same time that Zhang Neng was in a hurry against the wind and snow, with the arrival of the twenty-third year of the lunar month, the Beiping Military Festival Mansion was full of lights, and there was a joyful New Year's atmosphere. However, according to the system of the Beiping Army, the New Year (Spring Festival) holiday for local officials is from the 23rd day of the lunar month to the fifth day of the first lunar month, while the New Year's holiday for the members of the crossing team is from the 30th day of the lunar month to the fifth day of the first lunar month. That is, the crossing team members have seven days less time off than local officials. The reason for this arrangement is mainly due to the fact that the members of the crossing team, whether they work in Beiping City or in other places, their families are basically around, and the early and late releases will not affect them to celebrate the New Year with their families. In addition, the importance of the New Year (Spring Festival) is much worse than that of the locals of this era, and there is actually no difference between a few more days off and a few fewer days off for them - with the means of transportation in this era, it is basically impossible to take advantage of the New Year's (Spring Festival) holiday to travel, especially to travel thousands of miles away, at most it does not take much time to go around Beiping City or the place of work.

Therefore, on the 23rd day of the lunar month, when every household in Beiping City, including local officials who did not have to be on duty, was happily preparing for the New Year, Wang Kunjun and the other four committee members were still handling official affairs in the side hall next to the main hall of Jiedu Mansion, and there was no feeling that the New Year was approaching. Since the prefectures and towns had just completed the adjustment of their administrative divisions and military defense areas, and had just caught up with the mobilization and material preparations for the upcoming southward operation, the work handover reports, the reports on the stationing and training of the garrison units in the military towns and towns, the reports on the mobilization and mobilization of the various units participating in the southward operation, and the reports on the preparation of combat materials flew into the Beiping Military Jiedu Mansion like snowflakes, and were finally placed on the table of the four committee members. So, on the day of the New Year, Wang Kunjun and the other four committee members were still busy from the beginning to the night, and almost never left the office except for a simple meal at noon.

At the time of the lamp, he finished processing a document in his hand and put it on the top of the thick stack of processed documents on the right hand, Wang Kunjun put down the brush in his hand, stood up and stretched a lazy waist, and while moving his body, which was a little stiff because of sitting for a long time, he looked around at the desks of the other three committee members in the office. Seeing that there were not many documents left on the tables of the other three people, Wang Kunjun said: "After a busy day, I finally finished reviewing all the important documents in advance, it seems that we can have a good New Year with our families tonight." ”

Zhang Weixin smiled when he heard this, wrote his opinion and name on a document to be read in his hand, put it on the pile of documents on the right hand, and while standing up and moving his body like Wang Kunjun, he echoed: "Yes, during this time, because of the adjustment of administrative divisions and military defense regions, as well as preparations for the southward operation, we work overtime almost every day, and basically can't spare time to spend time with our families, let alone take care of the New Year." All the preparations for the New Year were handed over to the wives and concubines, and it was really hard for them. It's rare to get off work on time today, of course, you have to accompany your wife and children. ”

"That's what Brother Qi said." Xu Shaoan, who also approved a document from Zuihou, also agreed, "Don't look at our family members living in Jiedu Mansion, but we are really busy, and we can't even get out of the office door." Obviously, the wife and children are dozens of meters away, but it is also rare to see, and I am afraid that others will not believe it when I say it. ”

"If you all want to go home to your family so much, what are you doing here? Why don't you pack up and go home. The eldest brother Li Junwu sorted out the pile of documents that had been reviewed, and said to the brothers with a smile.

"Aren't we waiting for Big Brother! If you don't leave, brother, how can you go first? Xu Shaoan was joking as he sorted out the documents and pen, ink, paper, and inkstone on the table, and prepared to go out.

Just when the four brothers were talking and laughing and walking out together, there was a message from the guards outside the office door, saying that the twenty-eighth master had an urgent matter to see. Wang Kunjun said the word "please" before he came out, and the door of the office had been pushed open with a "bang", and then Liang Ziyue hurriedly broke in with the cold wind and cold air.

Seeing that the twenty-eighth brother, who had always been steady, was so eager, Wang Kunjun and the others realized that something big must have happened. So, he stretched out his hand to stop Liang Ziyue, who wanted to salute everyone, and said: "The twenty-eighth must have something important here, so don't worry about these red tapes." ”

Hearing this, Liang Ziyue hurriedly straightened up and said to Wang Kunjun and the others: "Several brothers, the 'Dark Feather' Beiping Branch reported that two spies from the Huairou Branch of the 'Feiyan Hall' Beiping Branch came to surrender and revealed an explosive news. ”

"Is this true? Where are the two 'Feiyan Tang' spies now? What explosive news was revealed? But confessed Zhang Yan's whereabouts? Hearing this, Wang Kunjun hurriedly asked.

"This is true. After receiving the report from the 'Dark Feather' Beiping Branch this afternoon, the younger brother personally went to interrogate these two people. Judging from the results of the interrogation, it can be confirmed that these two people are indeed the 'Feiyantang' spies, and they came to Beiping City this time to abandon the darkness and surrender to our Beiping army. Today, they are being held in a secret prison in the Department of Internal Affairs of the Ministry of Intelligence, under the close protection of agents from the Department of Internal Affairs. As for Zhang Yan's whereabouts, these two did not give an exact location because of their lower ranks, but only provided a rough possible range. However, another piece of information they provided was far more significant and shocking than Ms. Zhang's whereabouts. Liang Ziyue replied confidently.

"What news could be more significant and shocking than Zhang Yan's whereabouts?" Zhang Weixin then asked.

"According to the confession of these two 'Feiyantang' spies who surrendered to Cheng, there are people within the 'Qingyuan' brothers of our Beiping Army who have private contact with the 'Feiyantang' and secretly communicate with each other." Liang Ziyue said solemnly.

As soon as Liang Ziyue said this, everyone present was stunned on the spot. If it was said that there were local officials and even generals in the Beiping Army who took refuge in the "Feiyan Hall", Wang Kunjun and others would not be so surprised. After all, everyone's ability to resist temptation or pressure is different. When the other side bids or has enough leverage, it is entirely possible that individual local officials and generals will be co-opted or coerced into the past. But some of the "Qingyuan" brothers collaborated with the enemy, which made everyone completely puzzled. On the one hand, the crossing team provides perfect welfare, life and security for all members, and it is impossible for the other party to sell it for money or to blackmail the brothers' families. On the other hand, in today's situation, no matter how generous the conditions given by the other party and how high the promised official position is, how can there be team members who are willing to give up the high-ranking officials, glory and wealth that are about to be acquired, and go to Zhang Yongde, who can't even fight Zhao Kuangyin and is destined to become a loser?

"Can the words of these two spies be believed? How could our brothers do such a thing of 'throwing watermelons and picking sesame seeds'? It doesn't make sense! Li Suowu asked while shaking his head in disbelief.

"Even the hiding place of his own leader is hidden, and he doesn't explain it clearly, where is the meaning of sincere refuge. In my opinion, this news is nothing more than false information that they have fabricated to deceive them for credit. Or, they are simply spies sent by Zhang Yan, and these so-called major news are just made up by them to divide our brothers. Xu Shaoan couldn't believe what Liang Ziyue said at all.

"Don't worry, the eighth, since the twenty-eighth said that these two people are sincere and sincere, they naturally have his reasons, we might as well listen to him explain the experience in detail, and then it's not too late to make a judgment." Although Wang Kunjun was also incredulous about what Liang Ziyue said, he did not think that this brotherhood, which had always been steady, would report such a serious problem to the committee without analysis. Therefore, while stopping Xu Shaoan from continuing to lose his temper with Liang Ziyue, he beckoned the brothers to sit down again, and listened to Liang Ziyue explain the cause and effect of the matter and the ins and outs of the matter clearly.
