After finishing the business, Xu Shijiu relaxed and asked with a smile: "Director Ye, I heard that you caught the big traitor, Yan Sanxing?" ”

Ye Ruxue was slightly shocked when she heard this, the matter of catching Yan Sanquan was extremely secretive, except for Wei Guoqiang's biedong team, she was the only one in the entire intelligence department who knew about it, and Xu Jiu's words seemed to be a temptation, but in fact, most of them already knew, thinking of this, Ye Ruxue became more and more suspicious, could it be that Wei Guoqiang's biedong team has a latent Communist Party eyeliner?

The Communists seem to be really pervasive.

"Commander, I was about to report this to you, too." Ye Ruxue calmed down, and continued, "I don't know how to tell you." ”

"Director Ye, this doesn't look like your style." Xu Shijiu sat back at the desk and said with a smile, "What's the matter, didn't you always like to talk straight before?" ”

"Okay, let's get straight to the point." Ye Ruxue raised her beautiful eyes, stared at Xu Shijiu's eyes and said, "Commander, Luojiawan No. 16 just sent me a telegram, it is said that the Anhui Provincial Government intends to appoint Yan Sanquan as the magistrate of Longkou County, and the letter of appointment will be issued tomorrow at the latest." ”

"What?" Xu Shijiu's face suddenly changed greatly, and he said, "The Anhui Provincial Government wants to appoint Yan Sanquan as the magistrate of Longkou County?" ”

"Yes." Ye Ruxue nodded, the expression on her pretty face was also a little strange, and said, "When I received this news, I was also very shocked. ”

"Nonsense, isn't this nonsense?" Xu Shijiu came back to his senses and said angrily, "Isn't it nonsense to let a traitor be the county magistrate?" ”

Ye Ruxue continued: "The special commissioner of the Anhui Provincial Government will arrive at Longkou tomorrow with Gu Zhutong, the commander-in-chief of the Third Theater. ”

Xu Shijiu's eyes flashed, and he asked Ye Ruxue: "Director Ye, where are you holding Yan Sanquan?"

"Riverbend Town, held in a secret stronghold." Yeru Snow Road.

Xu Jiu turned around and walked out, saying as he walked, "Go to Hewan Town." ”

(Dividing Line)

Almost at the same time, Wei Guoqiang rushed to Hewan Town overnight and entered the broken cave where Yan Sanquan was secretly imprisoned.

Seeing Wei Guoqiang walk in, Yan Sanquan, who was tied up with five flowers, quickly struggled to sit up, and asked with a hopeful face: "How is Captain Wei?" ”

Wei Guoqiang squatted down in front of Yan Sanquan, just staring at Yan Sanquan's face and not speaking, Yan Sanquan's heart hung up in an instant, and then his feet rubbed the ground, his body kept retreating, and he said: "Captain Guard, Captain Guard"

From Wei Guoqiang's cold eyes, Yan Sanquan already felt the danger.

Sure enough, Wei Guoqiang said coldly: "Yan Sanquan, you are already dying"

"Captain Guard" Yan Sanquan's heart trembled when he heard this, and he quickly struggled to kneel down, and kept kowtowing to Wei Guoqiang, begging for mercy, "Captain Guard, you have to save me, as long as you let me go, I will definitely repay you, repay your grace of not killing, I have a lot of gold bars, we have been in business for decades, and have accumulated a lot of gold and silver, I promise you, as long as you let me go, I will give you all the gold, silver and jewelry." ”

Wei Guoqiang's eyes instantly revealed a touch of essence, born in troubled times, no one can face gold without being moved.

"How much gold do you have?" Wei Guoqiang asked, but he was thinking in his heart about the risk of letting go of Yan Sanquan.

The secret order of Luojiawan No. 16 has been issued as early as two days ago, although Ye Ruxue did not make the secret order public, but Wei Guoqiang can imagine it with only his toes, this secret order must be to ask the intelligence department to protect Yan Sanquan, so that the Anhui Provincial Government can come down with a letter of appointment, so that Yan Sanquan can rightfully become the county magistrate of Longkou County, at that time, if Xu 19 kills Yan Sanquan again, it will be a blatant provocation of the authority of the national government, if to paraphrase the ancient words, it is a rebellion against the official, and Xu 19 does not have the guts.

By tomorrow afternoon at the latest, the Anhui Provincial Government's letter of appointment should arrive at Longkou with Gu Zhutong, commander-in-chief of the Third Theater of Operations.

However, just now, Ye Ruxue went to Xu Shijiu's office, and Wei Guoqiang immediately realized that Ye Ruxue had probably told Xu Shijiu, so Xu Shijiu was very likely to kill Yan Sanquan before the Anhui Provincial Government came down with a letter of appointment.

Originally, there was no conflict of interest between this matter and Wei Guoqiang, in the final analysis, Wei Guoqiang did not have a good impression of Yan Sanquan, Yan Sanquan deserved, or he could not be the county magistrate of Longkou County, and it had nothing to do with him Wei Guoqiang, and even, if his speculation was true, Ye Ruxue really violated the secret order of Luojiawan No. 16, then the death of Yan Sanquan was very likely to prompt Ye Ruxue to be severely punished by the organization, and he Wei Guoqiang was very likely to replace Ye Ruxue and become the head of the Longkou Intelligence Station of the Military Commandery, and the director of the Intelligence Department of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army in Southern Anhui.

Therefore, before Wei Guoqiang came to meet Yan Sanquan, he actually didn't think about letting Yan Sanquan go.

However, now, when he heard that Yan Sanquan could provide a large amount of gold, Wei Guoqiang was inevitably moved.

"Yan San Fist, how much gold do you have?" Wei Guoqiang looked at Yan Sanquan leisurely and asked.

"There's a lot, I have a lot of gold" Yan Sanquan looked left and right, and said in a low voice, "At least fifty yellow croaker"

Fifty little yellow croaker? Wei Guoqiang was taken aback, but his face was silent, and he said in a deep voice: "One hundred"

"Deal" Yan gritted his teeth with three fists, reluctant to let the child catch the wolf, if his life is gone, will he keep that much gold?

"Okay, I'll move you to another safe place, and I'll release you when you deliver the gold." After Wei Guoqiang finished speaking, he called the two team members who were guarding outside in, and ordered them to escort Yan San to another hiding place, and then Wei Guoqiang pulled out his Browning pistol and shot it at his right shoulder, and then threw the pistol into the artemisia grass outside the cave.

When Xu Shijiu and Ye Ruxue arrived with people, they only saw Wei Guoqiang lying in a pool of blood.

Wei Guoqiang said, because of his carelessness was snatched by Yan Sanquan with a gun, Yan Sanquan shot him, fortunately the guards outside rushed in time, Yan Sanquan didn't care about giving Wei Guoqiang a shot, but Zuihou still let Yan Sanquan run away from the gap in the cave, and two members of the Biedong team also testified that they were Wei Guoqiang's henchmen, and what Wei Guoqiang asked them to say, they naturally said what they said.

Although Xu Shijiu was suspicious, he had no direct evidence, so he could only give up.

On the way back to the headquarters after leaving Hewan Town, Ye Ruxue said to Xu Shijiu: "Commander, I suspect that Yan Sanquan was hidden by Wei Guoqiang. ”

"Oh, what would you say?" Xu Shijiu nodded, and asked again, "What clues have you found?" ”

"That's not true, I just think that if Yan Sanquan wants to escape, it's almost impossible." Ye Ruxue analyzed, "According to the two members of the biedong team, they were broken by Wei Guoqiang at that time, although there were only two people left, Wei Guoqiang and Yan Sanquan, but Yan Sanquan's hands and feet were tied, how did he loosen the tie?" also snatched Wei Guoqiang's gun, is Wei Guoqiang a puppet? ”

Xu Shijiu said: "You mean, Wei Guoqiang has already guessed that I might be the first to strike, so he hid Yan Sanquan first?" ”

"I think that's it." Ye Ruxue said, "Do you want to transfer troops over, disarm Wei Guoqiang's Biedong team, and then interrogate them one by one?" ”

"Forget it, doing so is tantamount to tearing your face with your military commander." Xu Shijiu said, "When the time comes, it will be difficult for you to blame Dai Li." ”

Ye Ruxue stopped talking, if she really helped Xu Shijiu hand over the weapons of the Biedong team, and then helped Xu Shijiu kill Yan Sanquan, it would basically be tantamount to betraying the military command, Dai Li and Mao Renfeng may not kill her, but she, the intelligence station chief and intelligence director, can't be it, but she is willing to do this for Xu Shijiu, and she is willing to do anything for Xu Shijiu.

Xu Jiujiu said again: "Wei Guoqiang wants to hide people, then let him hide, even if he really makes Yan Sanquan the magistrate of Longkou County, it's not a big deal, it's a big deal, and I'll find a way to kill him when the time comes." ”

Xu Shijiu really didn't take Yan Sanquan seriously, if there was a chance to drop him, Xu Shijiu wouldn't mind attacking immediately, even if he didn't drop it now, Xu Shijiu wouldn't be in a hurry, as long as he was still the commander of the Southern Anhui Anti-Japanese Salvation Army, as long as the Southern Anhui Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army still controlled Longkou County, even if Yan Sanquan really became the magistrate of Longkou County, wouldn't Xu Shijiu want to kill him like killing a chicken?

Ye Ruxue looked at the dark night sky outside the car window steadily, and suddenly called, "Ah Jiu." ”
