Scholars in the courtyard

Coming out of Lin Yaping's house, Yu Zecheng and Xiao Liu looked heavy-hearted.

Three people, three lives.

They were buried silently in the ground. If it weren't for this accident, it would have taken forever to see the light of day.

I don't know when this buried injustice will be redressed.

Heartbroken and upset, I was also angry at this woman.

And in this anger, there was a little more anger at her for not fighting.

Just for a meal, she was willing to give everything for this man, even if it meant selling herself out.

Little did she know that this stupid behavior was precisely self-destruction.

The two of them were filled with emotion.

Especially Yu Zecheng, who came out of the old society and had seen too many joys and sorrows, too many strange things.

Perhaps it was very incomprehensible in the eyes of Xiao Liu and his generation.

But in his experience, this kind of gratitude for a meal, this kind of knowing it is wrong but having no choice, this kind of behavior of a woman relying on a man, marrying a chicken and following the chicken, marrying a dog and following the dog, is the most normal.

In his mind, he suddenly remembered a sentence Yang Xiaotao said to him, 'This person, you still need to read more and understand the truth. Otherwise, you can't even tell what is good and what is bad. '

Now listening to what he said, it really makes sense.

The two walked with their heads down and soon came to the place where Hu Yong was imprisoned.

Pushing open the door, Xiao Liu followed behind Yu Zecheng.

In the room, Hu Yong was tied to a chair, his expression was listless and his spirits were low.

For him, what happened today was too sudden.

It was so sudden that he didn't know how to deal with it.

Fortunately, they had discussed before what to say and what to do when encountering such a thing.

This time, he dealt with the previous news.

But after a long time, he felt that it was not a solution.

Now it seems that even if it is not, he will have to lose a layer of skin.

For a stubborn man like him, it is absolutely painful to lose his free days.

But there is no pain in the days without life.

So, he thought it was better to live first.

Seeing the door open and several people coming in, Hu Yong subconsciously prepared himself and prepared carefully in his heart, for fear of letting the cat out of the bag.

Yu Zecheng lost interest when he saw Hu Yong's expression. He went to the side and blew on the stove, then sat down and flipped through the records of Lin Yaping and Lin Shen.

Xiao Liu watched from the side and twitched his face.

This director of his family is really careless.

"Hu Yong, tell the truth!"

"Lin Yaping has confessed that you and Lin Yaping conspired to murder Wan Han, Weng Chuancheng and Yu Wenhong."

Xiao Liu spoke first.

Hu Yong's eyes widened immediately after hearing this.

He thought of a lot and prepared himself in his heart.

But he didn't expect that his woman, the woman who loved him to the bone, actually confessed it.

She actually betrayed him.

Unbelievable.

Hu Yong stared at Xiao Liu with wide eyes, as if to say, you lied to me.

But the names of the three people are real. Who else can know them except Lin Yaping?

"Hu Yong, I'll give you a chance to explain yourself."

"You know, based on the current evidence, you have no other way out except to make meritorious contributions."

Xiao Liu continued to speak while the iron was hot.

Hu Yong's face suddenly became ashen.

But the next moment, Hu Yong suddenly laughed, his voice full of desolation.

"Good, good, good."

"Good, good!"

Hahaha

Everyone looked at Hu Yong strangely, and Xiao Liu was even more suspicious. Would this guy be going to act crazy?

But Yu Zecheng, who was standing by, heard the laughter and put the record aside, feeling relieved.

Sure enough, after Hu Yong finished laughing, he became excited as if he had been injected with chicken blood.

"Ask, ask, I'll tell you everything I know."

"Don't worry, I won't lie. Since I have to take the knife, I have to drag a few more people down. Otherwise, who will we play with in the underground? Right?"

"So, ask quickly."

Hu Yong looked indifferent.

But in fact, that's what he thought in his heart.

As a gangster, and a well-known gangster, he usually brags and chats with his peers, talking about what he plays, who plays well, and who is the biggest gangster.

This time he is going to tell those gangsters that he is going to play with his life now.

They must have never played before.

Just think about the excitement!

Xiao Liu took a deep breath, calmed down, and began to ask at Yu Zecheng's signal.

"How did you get to know Lin Shen?"

"Lin Shen and I are just drinking buddies. That guy is too simple and thinks he has so much ability, haha"

"What is your relationship with Guo Shengjun?"

"You all know this, it should be Lin Shen who said it, this guy likes to stab people in the back, no wonder people in the compound don't like him."

"Guo Da Piezi used to be our neighbor. Later, my family's background was not good, so we couldn't go to the factory, but his family had been hired farmers for three generations, and many of them went to the steel mill."

"At first, he looked down on me, but later when something happened and the family couldn't make ends meet, he took the initiative to find me."

"Tell me about your superior, or who instructed you to do it, and who is the person behind it."

Yu Zecheng suddenly spoke up and asked the key question.

Hu Yong still paused for a moment after hearing this.

But he quickly realized that since we are playing, let's have more people play.

"Can you give us something to eat?"

"I'm not threatening you. I'm just hungry, and my throat hurts from talking too much!"

Yu Zecheng nodded, asked someone outside to bring some food and drinks, then picked up a cigarette, lit it, and brought it to the other party.

Hu Yong took the cigarette, took two puffs, and looked at Yu Zecheng, "This should be the superior, at this age, is he a section chief? Or director?"

Yu Zecheng smiled and shook his head, "At my age, I can only be a section chief because of my seniority."

"The section chief is not young anymore. If you don't have the ability, you can't get promoted in a department like yours."

At this time, the guard brought a jar of cold water, and Hu Yong took it and drank it all.

Then he looked at Yu Zecheng, "It's not easy for you to be a section chief. I really don't want to hurt you. How about changing to a higher official?"

Yu Zecheng still smiled, "Don't worry, in our department, except for the highest official, I am the highest."

This time Hu Yong was speechless, looked at Yu Zecheng for a long time, and then laughed.

"You underestimate the heroes of the world."

Yu Zecheng laughed, "What kind of hero am I? I'm just doing my duty."

Hu Yong nodded, "You're right, I'm a frog in the well."

Then he looked at Yu Zecheng seriously, "My superior is the second-in-command of the Metallurgical Bureau."

"Metallurgical Bureau?"

Yu Zecheng frowned, and Xiao Liu beside him asked in surprise, "Second-in-command? Zhuang Jinyan?"

"Yes, that's her!"

"Are you sure?"

Yu Zecheng was also surprised. Although the Metallurgical Bureau was not very popular, its status was at the same level as the current Red Star Machinery Factory, and both were directly under the management.

They even had a longer time, if I remember correctly, in 1952. Although the development has been slow in recent years, the scale has been expanding, and many people have entered it.

It can be said that except for smelting metals, metallurgy is good at everything else.

And it is really shocking that a second-in-command did such a thing.

Seeing the shocked expressions of Yu Zecheng and the others, Hu Yong suddenly laughed and said, "I'm not sure."

This sentence almost made Xiao Liu jump up and kick him twice.

But Hu Yong spoke again, "But I am 70% sure it is her."

"Speak carefully!"

Yu Zecheng didn't want to beat around the bush, and Hu Yong also understood all the meanings, and then said, "The person who directly dealt with us was a director of metallurgy, named Leng Chaodong."

"I got the information from him, and then cooperated with the people below to make up for this deficit."

"Oh, by the way, speaking of this, I have to talk about our process."

Hu Yong patted his head, fearing that Yu Zecheng and the others would not understand, so he explained, and Yu Zecheng did not refuse, and listened quietly on the side.

"Normally, the alloy materials sent by the metallurgical department to the machinery factory are a number, for example, one hundred."

"Then of this one hundred, only ninety are actually sent out. What about the missing ten? The machinery factory needs to cooperate, which is Lin Shen's business."

"In this way, the metallurgical department only needs to send out ninety goods, but can receive one hundred yuan."

"More importantly, the extra ten will be converted into money through other channels."

"In this way, one ten can earn two shares of money, isn't it very profitable?"

Hu Yong said proudly, and then smiled helplessly, "But we can only take a tiny part of it, and the big head is still taken by the people above."

"A bunch of guys who are idle and stealing."

"Our country is ruined by such people."

Hu Yong said, and realized that he had said something wrong and quickly picked up the jar, but found that there was no water in it, so he had to lick his lips in disappointment.

However, these words were faithfully recorded by the recorder on the side.

Yu Zecheng was shocked when he heard the words "Metallurgical Bureau", "Second in Command", and "Zhuang Jinyan", but he recovered immediately.

Ever since they committed these crimes, they have only one identity, that is, criminals.

"You don't know, these people are terrible."

"They don't eat the food that is uniformly distributed in the city, but use internal relationships to directly designate the village to grow food for them to eat."

Xiao Liu frowned. These days, the food grown in the countryside must be handed over to the public surplus, and then uniformly distributed.

"How did you know?"

"I once heard Leng Chaodong say that the Zhuang Bureau was afraid that the hybrid corn would be harmful to health, so they asked to choose a new village and stay away from hybrid corn. Later, I really heard that a village stopped growing hybrid corn and changed to the old corn."

"I asked around and they said it was a problem with corn seeds."

"Bullshit, they are just afraid of death."

Several people in the room were silent.

Yu Zecheng spoke again, "Apart from alloys, are there other things you are involved in?"

"No, this one is enough for us to eat and drink, how dare we get involved in other things."

"Don't dare? In other words, do you have it?"

"Yes, there must be."

Hu Yong did not hold back, and said whatever he thought of, "The metallurgy is not just about alloy materials. My Leng Chaodong is only responsible for alloy materials. What about other directors?"

"Once when we were drinking, I heard Leng Chaodong talking about mineral mining. The profit there is huge."

"Unfortunately, we don't have the ability to get involved."

Hearing this, Yu Zecheng looked serious, and at the same time he had many questions. With so many things, is there no one in the metallurgy who has discovered it?

Or, those who have discovered it have been.

Or, is the entire metallurgy rotten?

Yu Zecheng did not ask this question because he did not want to know the answer.

Of course, the guy in front of him might not have the answer either.

"Xiao Liu, call someone to protect this guy."

After hearing the news, Yu Zecheng led people out of the house, looking back at Hu Yong who was eating noodles and smiling at him, his heart heavy.

Xiao Liu also realized the seriousness of the problem. A desperate dog will jump over the wall.

Besides, this guy knows too much.

"I know."

Xiao Liu nodded, then looked at Yu Zecheng, "Director, do you want to send someone to go with you?"

Yu Zecheng shook his head, "The manpower is limited. This time we have to be more careful. It is better to use our own people."

"But, you here?"

"It's okay, I'll let Wangcai follow."

After Yu Zecheng finished speaking, he waved to Wangcai who was lying on the ground in the distance, and the latter immediately ran over.

Seeing this, Xiao Liu was relieved.

"After I leave, we must strengthen our vigilance."

"Understood!"

After speaking, Yu Zecheng got in the car and left.
