Chapter 777: The Past of the Year
Lu Zhanxiao took Cui Jiaguo to the hostel and saw Wei Hongliang, who was already half white-haired.
Lu Zhanxiao can't show that he is the former Lu Yunzhou, so this meeting is not an old friend, but a confidential inquiry.
Wei Hongliang was the chief of staff of a division more than 20 years ago, and later the army was reorganized, and he was sent to Yunnan to become the supreme commander of the garrison division, but he retired early due to health reasons six years ago.
In order to show respect, when Lu Zhanxiao saw him, he took the initiative to salute and call him an old chief.
Not to mention that Wei Hongliang has retired and has no real power, even when he was in power, he was the commander of a stationed division, and when he saw the deputy commander of a military region, he also had to salute respectfully.
Therefore, Lu Zhanxiao's courtesy to him made Wei Hongliang a little flattered, and he was also a little closer to Lu Zhanxiao from the bottom of his heart.
After a few brief greetings between the two, Lu Zhanxiao began to cut to the chase, but before he said a clear purpose, he made it clear that this was a top-secret matter, and asked Wei Hongliang to swear to the party that he would never leak it.
Of course, Wei Hongliang did not hesitate to do so, and when he took the oath, he still had a faint sense of pride and honor in his heart, because it showed that although he was old, he was still a useful person and could contribute to the country and the army.
This is a great comfort to an old revolutionary.
Lu Zhanxiao believes that such an old party member with faith will use his life to keep it secret once he swears, so he no longer beats around the bush and says bluntly,
"Old chief, do you remember Wu Ying? Why did he die? What I want to hear is the truth, not what is written on his file. ”
Wei Hongliang's old face twitched, his eyes gradually turned red, and he asked in a trembling voice, "General Lu, can I ask why you want to ask about Wu Ying after more than twenty years?" ”
"Some time ago, I caught a couple of spies in the army. One of them once boasted that many years ago, he carried out an assassination mission to kill Wu Ying. ”
This is actually a lie of Admiral Lu, and there is no spy disclosure, which is a speculation on his part.
Wu Ying was the only person who knew his undercover identity back then, and perhaps, he was discovered when he contacted him, so he was killed.
Moreover, when he said this, he also wanted to make an introduction, so that he could naturally inquire about Lu Yunzhou and Xiaoying for a while.
It's just that when Wei Hongliang heard this, he was very excited, he slapped his thigh suddenly, choked with red eyes, and said,
"I knew it! I knew that Master Wu's death was not simple! Really killed by a spy! However, they all said that Master Wu died of accidental drowning...... This must have something to do with Lu Yunzhou, but it's a pity that he also died. ”
"Lu Yunzhou?" Lu Zhanxiao's heart was mentioned, and he said quietly on his face, "I know that he is a spy." ”
"Yes. He used to be the commander of our division, and he was a very good soldier, alas, but he did not expect that he was a spy planted by the enemy party. After his identity was revealed, he escaped when he was arrested. But ......" Wei Hongliang paused and continued,
"I have always been a little suspicious of Lu Yunzhou's identity as a spy, and I remember that before Master Wu's accident, I talked to him about Lu Yunzhou, and I always felt that there was a hint and joy in his words, as if Lu Yunzhou was just pretending to betray."
"Do you have proof?" Lu Zhanxiao asked. 2k reading web
