After sending off the officials of the Central Party Department and the trainees of the various provinces, Wu Ming was finally able to stop and quietly take a breath, and the next training class of the Central Party Department will not start until the summer of next year, and at least in the next six months, there is no need for Wu Ming, who has been officially appointed by the Central Party Department as the chief military instructor of the Quzhou training base, to worry about it.

However, when Wu Ming took a long breath and raised his head to get ready for a rest, he suddenly found that the pace of winter had quietly come, and in the next time, he not only had to formally take over the defense of Changshan and Kaihua counties, but also had the busy second phase of the headquarters training plan, as well as many arms and drug trade, infrastructure construction, enterprise management, technical training, personnel adjustments and other matters that he needed to solve and deal with.

Fortunately, Wu Ming's newlywed wife Fang Zhichun is becoming more and more gentle and skillful, and takes care of the warm home of the two and the exponentially expanded quilt factory, so that Wu Ming can devote all his energy to his career.

Now is a relatively dry season of the year, and it is a good time to step up the construction of various infrastructure, so Wu Ming is even busier.

Fortunately, the ability of a group of old brothers in Maoliangwu has been greatly enhanced, and the three groups of more than 4,500 refugees recruited have been completely integrated into Maoliangwu and have become the main force in infrastructure construction and agricultural production, not only repairing the 25-kilometer road from Maoliangwu to Kaihua County, but also assisting Wu Ming's engineer company to build the Phoenix Mountain training base, the secret Maoliangwu Ordnance Factory production plant and the three major tunnel warehouses, but all major matters still need Wu Ming to make decisions.

On 20 November, after more than half a year of construction, the small hydropower plant in a 2.5-kilometer gorge northeast of Maoliangwu village was successfully completed and successfully generated electricity.

It was already three o'clock in the afternoon when the six complacent foreigners were sent away, and Wu Ming, who was quite tired, got up and walked to the office balcony, stretched his waist, lit a cigarette, and quietly watched the ongoing training of the officers and men of the two directly subordinate companies on the playground.

didn't wait for Wu Ming to relax for long, and Zhang Dongning, a regimental staff officer, hurriedly arrived: "Brother Ming, there is a woman surnamed Wang at the gate of the camp looking for you, and she said that she is your relative." ”

Wu Ming was stunned, and after thinking about it, he seemed to understand, and returned to his seat and sat down.

Five minutes later, Zhang Dongning politely brought the guests over, Wu Ming looked at Wang Yuehan, who had moved him in front of him, nodded to her and said hello, and then personally brewed a cup of fragrant tea and brought it to the coffee table in front of her: "Sit down, Miss Wang, what wind blew you here?" ”

Seeing this, Zhang Dongning quietly retreated and closed the door, the beautiful and moving Wang Yuehan took a deep breath, looked around, and praised in a low voice: "Your place is so beautiful." ”

Wu Ming sat on the single sofa on the side of the main seat: "Are you talking about the office or this barracks?" ”

"It's all pretty good."

Wang Yuehan swept the hair on his forehead, picked up the teacup, and praised sincerely: "The office is spacious and bright, simple and comfortable, every building you see after you come in looks exquisite and atmospheric, even the wide barracks are like a garden, no wonder the group of dignitaries from the Central Party Department who are above the top want to set this place as a permanent training base." ”

Wu Ming smiled and said, "I spent a lot of money for this. ”

Wang Yuehan took a sip of tea, and turned to Wu Ming with a slightly complicated look: "Listen to our Commissioner Wang in Shangrao, you are not only like a fish in water in the military and political circles of Zhejiang, but also deeply respected by the main officials of the Central Party Department, and your future is limitless, congratulations!" ”

Wu Ming's face didn't show any color, he was still so calm and indifferent: "Commissioner Wang is your uncle, right?" Do you believe his compliments? ”

Wang Yuehan smiled: "You are not arrogant, you are not hurried, you are better than the rumors, from the first time I saw you, I knew that you are extraordinary." ”

"Stop!"

Wu Ming waved his hand, took out a cigarette and lit it: "We are old acquaintances, don't say these polite words, please tell me anything directly." ”

Wang Yuehan quietly straightened up her graceful body: "First of all, I have to thank you for helping Chen Yi enter Hangzhou Church Medical College, and secondly, I want to bring my uncle's thanks, thank you for providing Shangrao with Western medicine, sea salt and military supplies that are in short supply for a long time, not only helped him and the Shangrao army and civilians, but also made our Wang family and Chen family make a lot of money from it." ”

Wu Ming shook his head slightly: "Except for Chen Yi's study, there is no need to thank you, my uncle and I are purely normal in business, I have roads, commercial houses and factories, he has money, coal and sales, and they cooperate with each other for mutual benefit and reciprocity, nothing special." ”

Wang Yuehan seemed to know that Wu Ming would say this, put away his smile, hesitated for a while, lowered his voice and asked solemnly: "I heard that Zhou Wenyan, the new director of the Party Department of Quzhou Administration, has a good relationship with you?" ”

Wu Ming was vigilant in his heart, and there was still a faint smile on his face:

"Director Zhou and I used to be colleagues in the army, and now we are working together, in addition to serving as the director of the Party Department of the Executive Department, he is also the teaching director of the Quzhou Training Base of the Central Party Department. Do you have something to look for him? ”

"No, I don't know him, and I don't dare to go to him, so I can only look for you." Wang Yuehan looked at Wu Ming expectantly.

Wu Ming asked puzzledly, "Looking for me?" Aren't you working at the Jiangxi Provincial Party Headquarters? It stands to reason that you and Director Zhou Wenyan are in the same system, what do you need to find me? ”

Wang Yuehan took a deep breath: "Do you remember Mr. Zhang who once took care of you in Shangrao Prison?" ”

"Ahh

Wu Ming was shocked, Huo Ran stood up, stared at Wang Yuehan's clear and stubborn eyes for a while, and then slowly sat down and made a gesture: "You continue." ”

Wang Yuehan changed her sitting posture uneasily, plucked up her courage, and told the truth:

"Mr. Zhang's name is Zhang Fenglan, 36 years old, his ancestral home is Nanchang, Jiangxi, he has been working and living in Shanghai, Mr. Zhang arrived in Nanchang by boat from Shanghai last month, and six days ago he was transferred from Nanchang to Jiangshan County, and was suddenly arrested by the agents of your Quzhou Party Department, and I heard that he is now being held in Quzhou Chengnan Prison."

Wu Ming slowly leaned on the back of the sofa, snuffed out the cigarette butt, lit a cigarette again, took a deep breath, and slowly exhaled a thick smoke: "When did you join **?" ”

Wang Yuehan's body shook suddenly, avoiding Wu Ming's gaze in a panic, her beautiful face turned pale, she bit her slightly trembling lip, and replied in a low voice:

"It's been more than a year...... Before I came, I knew that I couldn't hide anything from you, and I had prepared for the worst, but I believe that you are a person, just like Brother Qingsong said, you are a man of love and righteousness, with a hard bone, even if you have different beliefs with each other, you will not embarrass your friends. ”

Wu Ming smiled bitterly: "Qingsong? I haven't seen him for more than two years, and I didn't expect him to think so highly of me, alas! Did you contact Mr. Zhang before you came to me? ”

Wang Yuehan hesitated for a moment, and said truthfully: "There is no way to see him, we brought him through an intermediary." ”

"A few days ago, I knew about the arrest in Jiangshan County, and a regiment of our Western Zhejiang Security Command stationed in Jiangshan participated in the arrest that night...... Have you confessed? Wu Ming asked.

Wang Yuehan suddenly lifted his spirits: "Absolutely not, no matter what the circumstances, Mr. Zhang will not be able to confess, his public identity is actually the literary editor of the Shanghai Times." ”

"I'm afraid he's also an old qualified **, right?"

After Wu Ming finished speaking, he stood up without waiting for Wang Yuehan to answer, walked to the desk, picked up the phone and dialed directly, quickly reported his identity, waited for more than three minutes, and said into the microphone:

"Brother Junfang, junior brother has something to trouble you, is it convenient for you to speak now...... That's right, I heard that a person named Zhang Fenglan was arrested by you...... Oh? Okay, I'll make tea and wait for you. ”

Putting down the phone, Wu Ming came back and explained to Wang Yuehan, who was extremely shocked: "Zhou Wenyan will come over in ten minutes, let me explain first, this matter is more complicated, and the result depends on how much information the Quzhou Party Department has about Mr. Zhang, I may not be able to help, but I will do my best." ”

"Director Zhou Wenyan is a very principled person, and he is also extremely loyal to his beliefs, so I may not be able to move him, you have to be mentally prepared for the worst. Later, you can go into the lounge and take shelter, so as not to make any noise, so as not to embarrass me. ”

"Thank you! Thank you! I'll go ahead and avoid it. ”

Wang Yuehan stood up immediately after speaking, her lips trembled slightly under nervousness, and her eyes were full of gratitude and apprehension.
