Chapter 149: Being a thief is weak

Now that the decision has been made at the enlarged meeting of the committee, no matter how unwilling Fan Wucheng is, he has to follow it, unless he does not want to continue to stay in the team - no matter how resentful and unconvinced Fan Wucheng is, it is impossible for him to leave the crossing team and the Beiping Army because of this. After all, as far as he knew so far, in this era, except for his own Beiping Army, he had not heard of the existence of any other group composed of traversers. Now that he has left the Beiping Army, he Fan Wucheng has to start everything from scratch, and he has to rely on his own personal liliang to start from scratch. Although in recent years, relying on salaries, dividends, and various gray incomes in the open and covert, his current net worth has reached nearly 100,000 yuan, but once he breaks away from the powerful patron of the Beiping Army, a rich man like him is a fat sheep in the eyes of those powerful and powerful, and he may be swallowed by others at any time, not to mention the strength and shili of the Beiping Army.

Moreover, there is still a glimmer of hope in Fan Wucheng's heart, and there is a glimmer of hope that after the situation calms down, he may be reinstated and reappointed. In Fan Wucheng's view, with his many years of contributions to the Ministry of Commerce and Trade, as well as his ability in business, there is no reason for the crossing team to idle its "capable" member for a long time. That's a waste of resources, and it's something that can't be allowed by a traversal team that has always advocated making the best use of their talents and materials, and treating every traverser as a priceless treasure. Therefore, Fan Wucheng would rather go home and think about it behind closed doors now because of a little grievance, rather than fall out with the team and be driven out.

Of course, this idea is only an option in the case where the crossing team has not yet discovered that it has a secret with the "Flying Swallow Hall". If this secret is revealed one day, he Fan Wucheng is afraid that if he is not driven away, he will also be regarded as a traitor and spurned and despised by all the brothers of the crossing team. At that time, it is estimated that he would rather leave than be unwilling and shameless to stay in the Beiping Army anymore. Therefore, although the committee did not mention anything about his secret collusion with the "Feiyan Hall" at the meeting, and although he was angry, innocent, and aggrieved when he left the venue, when he left the Jiedu Mansion and returned to his mansion and sat in his study, Fan Wucheng was nervous and terrified.

First, his dealings with "Feiyantang" did not avoid his cronies and servants, and Fan Xiaowu participated in the whole process of his collusion with "Feiyantang" from beginning to end, and acted as an intermediary and traffic officer for his contact with the other party, and knew the relevant situation and details very clearly. Once this kid betrays himself for self-preservation, then with such a person as evidence, it is impossible for him to deny it. Second, now Fan Xiaowu and the others are being detained in the secret prison of the Department of Internal Affairs of the Ministry of Intelligence, which they don't know where they are, and they can't find out even the slightest bit of information from the outside. What Fan Xiaowu and the others said, he had no way of knowing. The fact that the Committee had not mentioned it at present did not mean that it was completely ignorant. Maybe Fan Xiaowu and the others have already confessed themselves, but the committee is unwilling to convict themselves just on the basis of the words of these servants, but just like they caught themselves in the past to win over their brothers and cultivate party henchmen, the Internal Affairs Department of the Ministry of Intelligence will first conduct a detailed investigation, and after there is circumstantial evidence to confirm the statements of Fan Xiaowu and others, they will make a surprise attack on themselves, and take advantage of their unpreparedness to capture themselves in one fell swoop, so as not to give themselves a chance to resist or escape.

Thinking of this, Fan Wucheng's heart was even more unsteady. Even if he was in his own mansion, even if he was surrounded by subordinates and family members who he was familiar with, even if the people in the mansion were far away from him because they saw that he was in a bad mood and were afraid that he would accidentally provoke him and bring him unwarranted disasters, Fan Wucheng was still suspicious, and always felt that those subordinates, family members and personal guards who were waiting far away or did not appear in his sight at all were secret agents of the Internal Affairs Department of the Ministry of Intelligence and were spying on him. In particular, Fan Xiaosan, Fan Xiaoqi and others, who were considered to have not directly participated in Fan Wucheng's party and private activities after examination, were released back like thieves, for fear that these people would be reversed by the internal affairs department of the Ministry of Intelligence to spy on their own internal lines. As a result, Fan Xiaosan and others, who were loyal to him, were depressed and aggrieved by Fan Xiaosan and others, who had never said a word unfavorable to him in the Department of Internal Affairs of the Ministry of Intelligence, had not revealed a single thing that was unfavorable to him, and felt quite awkward. Of course, if they really want to abandon and betray Fan Wucheng for this grievance, they still don't want to do it - after all, the kindness of the master and servant for many years is there, and it is not easy to throw away. What's more, if you have the reputation of "abandoning the Lord", it will be difficult to seek refuge in others in the future.

In fact, Fan Wucheng is not only suspicious of his cronies and servants, subordinates in the palace, family members, and personal guards, but also distrusts foreign visitors. To all visitors, he sent them away on the grounds that they were not in good health and did not see any visitors, even if they were concerned about his brother or a business associate with the "Chase Trading Company".

But even so, Fan Wucheng was still unsettled. Every time someone comes to visit the house, every time there is even a little wind and grass from outside the study or bedroom door, and even the footsteps of the subordinates and family members passing by outside are heavier, Fan Wucheng will think that the committee has discovered his scandal and sent someone to arrest him, which makes him nervous, his heart beats faster, he is in a cold sweat, and he is in a panic all day long, which fully reflects the connotation of the four words "being a thief with a weak heart".

After more than ten days of such panic, the expected door-to-door arrest did not happen. I think that Fan Xiaowu and the others are still thinking about the master's kindness to them in the past, and at the same time, they also realize that "collusion with the 'Feiyan Hall' hall" is far greater and more serious than the previous so-called "party and self-interest" crime. Once this matter is exposed, as a direct participant in this matter, it is very likely that the joint and several punishment will be much heavier than that of "forming a party for personal gain". Not only will he not be pardoned for his previous crimes, but he will be punished more severely for participating in the matter of "colluding with 'Feiyantang'". Therefore, it is better to keep your mouth shut even though the Internal Affairs Department of the Ministry of Intelligence has not asked you about the "collusion with the 'Feiyantang'". What's more, Fan Wucheng was just dismissed this time, and he went home to think about it behind closed doors, and he was not completely defeated, and I am afraid that there will be a chance to recover in the future. Now I keep it a secret, and when it makes a comeback, I will definitely not forget my own goodness, and I will definitely find a way to exonerate myself and reduce my sentence. In this case, why should I say that little more, and bring down my only hope that I can get out of the sea of suffering as soon as possible!

The situation in front of him made Fan Wucheng feel a little more at ease, and as the "closed-door soup" ate more, those visitors who came to Fan's Mansion or planned to talk about official affairs, or intended to discuss personal relationships, gradually lost their hearts and stopped bothering. Although the front of Fan's Mansion is much more deserted than before, it is exactly in line with Fan Wucheng's mind who wants to be quiet, so that he can be quiet at home for a few days. On the one hand, we can recall our shortcomings in wooing our brothers and cultivating party henchmen in the past year, and sum up the lessons and lessons learned when we need to regain the hearts and minds of the people in order to make a comeback one day. On the other hand, I also used this time to think carefully about the relationship with "Feiyantang", hoping to find a good way to keep my little reputation left, keep my place in the crossing team and in the Beiping Army, and not cause dissatisfaction on the side of "Feiyantang", and not let the other party be embarrassed and angry and shake out the ugly things that he colluded with him.

Here, Fan Wucheng was struggling to think of a way to get out of his predicament in his own house, and the four members of the committee who had just received an urgent telegram from Zheng Zhiwei from the "Hidden Garden", as well as other travelers from the military, intelligence, and government affairs departments who were in Beiping and had the right to participate in the enlarged meeting of the committee, also gathered together to study, analyze, and discuss the things mentioned in the telegram, in order to find out how the crossing team and the Beiping army should respond to this incident.
