9-4

The pot of iron bone on Yu Xiaoshu's table has just bloomed small yellow and white flowers.

Huang Wuning died, and some things became an eternal mystery.

For example, did Gao Zhongfu die in his hands, for example, when did Zhou Jingcheng rebel against him?

The clock on the wall ticks, measuring the time minute by second.

For more than a year, almost every day, Huang Wuning would appear in his office, and he wanted to ask Shi Bingnan at the moment, when he realized that he might take out a pistol at any time when he had seen Wang Qingrong, and washed his face with his back to himself that day, what was his mood?

In the position on the bank of the Suzhou Creek, at the foot of the wall of the model prison, in the prison of the military police headquarters, outside Liang Chengjie's mansion, and at Shi Bingnan's family banquet, looking back, it seems that in the past two years, there have been no important scenes, and Huang Wuning is not by his side.

Once you remember that he will never appear again, time seems to have fallen into a bottomless abyss, extending indefinitely, silently, without any sound.

Uchino Feng believed that at the moment of shooting, Huang Wuning wanted to kill himself, but it was only because Shi Bingnan fired a shot first that he Yu Xiaoshu escaped this catastrophe. But Yu Xiaoshu always felt that Huang Wuning deliberately missed this shot, probably he knew that this shot was the best answer to his identity as Yu Xiaoshu.

Or, Yu Xiaoshu would rather believe that this shot to the sky is the last thing Huang Wuning did for himself, believing in this is equivalent to believing that the past two years have not been wasted, and he can comfort himself by saying that although everyone stands in different camps, the two of them are always brothers.

The silence was interrupted by the creak of the door opening.

Li Husheng walked in.

Yu Xiaoshu cheered up and asked, "Director Li, is there anything you need?" ”

"The tricky thing is coming, look at this," Li Husheng held a document in his hand and handed it to Yu Xiaoshu.

This is a telegram forwarded by Zhou Fohai, and the signature is three big characters: Wang Zhaoming.

He looked at Li Husheng and read it carefully.

This is a reply to the criticism of the "peace movement" by the Shanghai press:

"Brother Fohai, the remarks of the "Declaration" are ridiculous, please punish him severely."

With only a dozen words, like a dense rain of bullets, Yu Xiaoshu had already smelled the bloody breath in the air.

Under the telegram were two forwards of Wang Jingwei's instructions: Zhou Fohai forwarded them to Ding Mocun and asked Ding Mochun to dispose of them at his discretion, and Ding Mochun gave Yu Xiaoshu the first place with a stroke of his pen, hoping to "investigate his primary representative and impose strict sanctions to suppress the atmosphere." ”

Yu Xiaoshu raised his head, Li Husheng was looking at him with a smile, and his heart sank.

Previously, at the behest of Zhou Fohai, No. 76 had already issued a tough-worded "letter of admonition" to the Shanghai press circles and instructed the Second Division in charge of news control to take charge of disciplinary action. Instead, he lashed out even more violently.

Now in the face of Wang Jingwei's harsh instructions, if No. 76 does not make some big moves, I am afraid it will be impossible to say.

"Director Li, the actions of the press have always been within the scope of accusations of the Second Division, why did Director Ding give us permission to do it?"

"Hey, Xiaoshu, you also know that the National Congress is about to be convened, and in the work of the Second Division, party affairs are the priority, and the security work of the Sixth National Congress is ours, and the burden is heavy, so we can't be separated. Besides, it's not a difficult thing to kill a few reporters who chew the root of the tongue, so I dared to ask Director Ding to call the shots, and let you, brother, share the burden for me. We are a family in one place and two places, you still have to help with this little favor! ”

Bastard! Yu Xiaoshu secretly cursed in his heart: Wang Jingwei's handwritten instructions were undoubtedly made on the basis that Li Husheng had already assassinated the reporter of the "Declaration," and it was rare for him to explicitly state that he would punish people in the press circles. If there is no major bloodshed, it will certainly not be able to achieve the effect of deterring Shanghai's press circles, so how can Wang and Zhou be satisfied? However, the press is Shanghai's conduit to the world, and Chinese and foreign forces are mixed, each with its own ambitions at one time and the same hatred for the enemy, and its action against the press in Shanghai is undoubtedly an open declaration of war with international public opinion and the Shanghai Public. The last "warning letter" has made No. 76 the target of public criticism, and this time it is difficult for the executor not to be notorious.

Ding Mocun's mind is very meticulous.

"What? Do you have a problem here? Director Ding's instructions are not good for Director Yu? ”

"How come, it's just that the work arrangement of the recent place is also very tense," Yu Xiaoshu repeatedly looked at the ** in his hand, "Liang Chengjie's case is not over yet, the activities of the military commander in Shanghai are still rampant, Mr. Wang's instructions, Mr. Zhou and Director Ding's instructions, where can I shirk it?" It's just that before I act, I want to explain the situation to Director Shi again. ”

"That's as it should be!"

Li Husheng nodded, "Then I won't bother Director Yu anymore, and I will leave." ”

Li Husheng left, Yu Xiaoshu sat down slowly, he knew very well in his heart that it was necessary to report to Shi Bingnan, but it would not change the result of the task he had to perform, at the First Plenary Session of the Sixth Central Committee after the Sixth National Congress, it was the spoils of the various factions of the Wang Jingwei government, Shi Bingnan had clearly told Yu Xiaoshu that before the establishment of the new government, the Central Executive Committee would first set up a special committee, with Zhou Fohai as the chairman, Ding Mochun as the vice chairman, and he himself as the secretary general, and the secret service headquarters in addition to DingIn addition to Li still serving in his original position, a deputy director will be added.

This deputy director, when Ding and Shi continue to gain higher power within the Wang regime in the future, will actually be in charge of the spy work of No. 76.

Due to Shi Bingnan's strong insistence, the nomination of the deputy director fell on Yu Xiaoshu's head.

In a sense, this action against the press is more like a vote.

One step forward, notorious, there will be no chance to turn over in the future, and one step back, there is a bottomless abyss of death.

A tiredness rose over him.

It was a really difficult day for Yu Xiaoshu.
