District 9

About ten days later, at around seven o'clock in the evening, Qi Lin was hosting a banquet for several officers from the World War II zone at Fengbei Tianfeng Hotel.

"Dip Lingling!"

The phone rang for a while. Qi Lin's face turned red as he picked up the phone and took a look at it. He immediately stood up and said, "Brothers, you drink first, and I'll answer the phone."

"Fuck, are you going to run?"

"You can run away, just buy the order."

The two officers made fun of him, and Qi Lin grinned: "This little wine is nothing, just drink it when I come back."

After saying that, Qi Lin stepped out of the private room and reached out to answer the ringing phone: "Hello, Uncle Feng!"

"Where are you?"

"I'm at Tianfeng Hotel, what's wrong?" Qi Lin asked.

"Just wait for me, I'll go find you."

"What's wrong? Is there something urgent?" Qi Lin felt that the other party's tone was wrong.

"Something happened to Lao Huang, and he was taken away by the internal auditors of the Ministry of Finance." Feng Yunian frowned and said, "Wait for me and we'll talk about it in person."

Qi Lin was stunned when he heard the sound.

…

About an hour later, Feng Yunian arrived at Tianfeng Hotel and saw Qi Lin in the lounge.

"What's going on? Why did the audit department take him away?" Qi Lin asked while sitting on the sofa.

"Did your mixed brigade just hand over the budget application to Lao Huang the day before yesterday?" Feng Yunian asked.

"Yes." Qi Lin nodded: "I handed it over in person. What's wrong?"

"Lao Huang was about to go through the review and approval process when someone from the Ministry of Finance came and took him away." Feng Yunian said with a sullen face: "People in the audit department suspected that he had committed fraud on military expenditures and was suspected of economic crimes."

Qi Lin was stunned.

"Obviously, this is a deliberate attempt to trouble him." Feng Yunian said solemnly: "I just made a call to a friend at the Finance Bureau. He said that Lao Huang might be interrogated in isolation."

"Fuck, this is too bullying...!" Qi Lin cursed with veins popping out on his forehead: "What on earth do they mean?!"

"Lao Huang helped the mixed brigade, so he was punished." Feng Yunian said succinctly: "But this is an internal issue of the Ministry of Finance, and the World War II Zone can't say anything about it."

Qi Lin gritted his teeth and didn't know what to say for a moment.

"Dip Lingling!"

At this moment, Feng Yunian's phone rang again. He looked down at the caller ID and said immediately: "Yes, Lao Huang, he called me."

"Hurry up, Uncle Feng." Qi Lin responded.

"Hey, Lao Huang, where are you in the Ministry of Finance?" Feng Yunian asked in a hurry.

"Damn it, forget it, we just came out." Huang Qishan replied cursingly.

"Come out?" Feng Yunian was startled: "Did the phone call come from the World War II area?"

"It was someone from the Finance Bureau who called me. After a lot of effort, they released me first. But they gave me an order not to leave the area and said they would conduct a thorough investigation of the military expenditures I handled." Huang Qi Shan cursed very irritably: "I thought they were disgusting, but I didn't expect them to be so disgusting... When they were taken away by me during the day, I saw the whole situation. I'm so... so frustrated!"

Feng Yunian was speechless.

"Old Feng, it's not that my brother doesn't help, it's that he really has some spare capacity." Huang Qishan sighed and replied: "You should let Xiao Qin solve the military expenditure problem of the mixed brigade on his own. I have some ideas here. None of them. If I continue to approve them, if they find any little problem with me, not only can they masturbate me, but if I get into trouble, they will send me to jail."

"Oh, Lao Huang, this has caused trouble for you."

"Let's not talk about this between us." Huang Qishan sighed: "But I have a long memory. From now on, I will not get involved in this matter."

"Where are you going now? Can't we meet?"

"Not now. I have to go and sit there. I'll probably get another lecture." Huang Qishan declined politely.

"Okay, then you deal with this matter first, and when you are free, give me a call."

"Well done, Lao Feng."

"that is it."

After saying that, the two ended the call.

"What did he say?" Qi Lin asked.

"The Ministry of Finance gave him an order prohibiting him from leaving the area, and they want to conduct a comprehensive verification of the military expenditures he handles." Feng Yunian lowered his head and frowned and replied: "The military expenditures of your mixed brigade must have been wasted. He dare not continue Done."

Qi Lin frowned, gritted his teeth and cursed: "These dogs are really more hateful than the enemy troops in the fifth district!"

…

In the courtyard of the family members of the World War II Zone Headquarters, in an antique villa.

A gray-haired old man was sitting in the restaurant eating dinner. The dishes on the table were very simple, including shredded red pepper potatoes, mapo tofu, and a small stir-fried green vegetable, paired with a bowl of white rice. The old man enjoyed it.

"Ding dong!"

The doorbell rang, and the nanny walked out quickly and opened the front door: "Oh, Secretary-General Liu is here?"

"Is the Commander resting?"

"No, I just had dinner."

"Oh, then I'll go to the living room and wait for a while." Secretary-General Liu nodded with a smile and politely bent down and put on his slippers.

In the restaurant, the old man was holding rice and shouted: "Xiao Liu?"

Secretary-General Liu, who had just entered the living room, was startled, and immediately turned around and responded: "It's me, Commander!"

"Are you okay? Come to the restaurant and talk." The old man greeted.

"good."

Secretary-General Liu immediately walked into the restaurant and said respectfully: "Commander, there is something urgent that I want to tell you."

"Sit down and talk." The old man pointed to the chair next to him.

Secretary-General Liu walked over, sat down next to the old man in a polite manner, and said softly: "Something happened in our Finance Bureau today. Old Huang from the Budget Department was taken away by the auditors of the Ministry of Finance..."

After hearing this, the old man frowned and asked, "Why are you taking away a young director?"

"... Because this old Huang agreed to give the mixed brigade a military budget of 60 million." Secretary-General Liu replied succinctly.

When the old man heard this, his face instantly turned cold: "Has the mixed brigade not received military funds yet?"

"No, Qin Yu has finished the war in Sichuan and hasn't received a cent yet." Secretary-General Liu responded in a low voice: "The reason given by the Ministry of Finance is that the military expenditure exceeds 80 million. , must be reviewed by them. Qin Yu had no choice but to find Feng Yunian, and Feng Yunian asked Lao Huang to do this, and wanted to circumvent this order by approving 60 to 70 million military expenditures each time. Lao Huang was there Before meeting Qin Yu, he called me. I considered that the mixed brigade had performed well recently, and Qin Yu was an outstanding senior officer among the younger generation, so I was good at making decisions and instructed Lao Huang to help them... But I didn’t expect that the Ministry of Finance would do something like this..."

"Is it the Ministry of Finance's fault?" the old man asked.

"I inquired and found out that it was Shen Sha who came forward to run this matter. Xu Hongcai from the District Defense Department of the Ministry of Finance was also involved in this matter." Secretary-General Liu lowered his voice and said, "But they are probably just people in front of the stage. The person who secretly instructed this matter should be the First Theater Command."

"Does the First War Zone want to plant a flag in Sichuan Mansion?" the old man asked.

"That's the reason, but they also want to get someone from Qin Yu." Secretary-General Liu replied in a low voice: "This person's name is Jin Taizhu, and he has shares in Yandao."

After hearing this, the old man slowly put his job on the table and cursed with a slight frown: "The Ministry of Finance, a regional department, can't get along with a brigade-level unit. These people are really shameless."

Secretary-General Liu remained silent.

"Whose disciple is Qin Yu?"

"He...he is not only a disciple of Director Wu, but also half a disciple of the Feng family." Secretary-General Liu replied in a low voice: "Feng Yunian used to be his direct boss at the Underworld Superintendent."

"Isn't this Qin Yu quite temperamental? Call Feng Yunian and tell him to do whatever it takes." The old man replied calmly.
