Siheyuan, my new life

Lin Yu and his party were speeding on the road to Tianjin. As Commander Han reported over the phone, someone in Beijing slammed the table in anger.

Just now, Commander Han followed Political Commissar Zhao's instructions on the phone without adding any exaggeration or expressing any opinions. He just repeated the official letter sent by the Shandong Provincial People's Armed Forces Department verbatim, and then reported everything Lin Yu said after reading the official letter without missing a word. Finally, he reported what he heard when Staff Officer Jiang escorted Liu Yan and her daughter home last time, about someone in the Wei family threatening to cause trouble for Liu Yan and her daughter, and Lin Yu's special arrangement to bring Liu Yan and her daughter to Beijing to work and live.

Commander Han could hear the sound of things being thrown from the other side through the microphone. He didn't put the phone back until the other side hung up. He gave Political Commissar Zhao a thumbs up. The leader on the other side, who was known as a "scholar-general", couldn't help but throw things. It was obvious that he was very angry about the handling results of the Shandong Province. If he followed his temper and said a lot of nonsense, he would probably be criticized as well. Now, according to the instructions of Political Commissar Zhao, he not only made a timely report, but also avoided criticism. He had to admit that Lao Zhao's brain was still useful. If he said the same thing according to others, the effect would definitely be much better.

In a very simply decorated office in Beijing, an elegant-looking general who had just spoken to Commander Han held the microphone and said in a calm tone: "Comrade Wu Xiaobo, please tell us everything about the martyr Wei Dashan and all the circumstances related to this case from the Shandong Provincial People's Armed Forces Department."

A lieutenant colonel in his thirties on the other end of the phone stood upright in front of his desk. When he heard the voice of the leader opposite him, his heart was suddenly in a mess. As the leader of the Military Commission's investigation team, after arriving in Shandong Province, with the assistance of local relevant departments and garrisons, he quickly arrested all the people involved in the case and brought them to justice. According to the previous interrogation records of relevant departments, he reviewed several major officials involved. This was also his duty. Although he absolutely believed in the accuracy of the interrogation records of relevant departments, the necessary procedures must still be followed.

Wu Xiaobo was of course aware of the serious impact of this case. The former Minister of the Shandong Provincial People's Armed Forces Department was actually corrupted and dragged into the water by enemy spies, resulting in more than a dozen vicious incidents deliberately targeting the families of fallen martyrs in Shandong Province, and even a crazy act of colluding with defeated soldiers to assassinate Comrade Lin Yu.

If Comrade Lin Yu had not noticed it in time, it would have had a very bad impact on the cadres and soldiers of the army in the long run. Therefore, on the train to Shandong Province, Wu Xiaobo convened all members of the investigation team and repeatedly emphasized the work discipline. After arriving in Shandong Province, no one would be allowed to accept banquets or gifts from the Shandong Province, and the case must be dealt with seriously in accordance with the law.

After Wu Xiaobo and the investigation team arrived in Shandong Province, they rejected the local government's arrangements and moved directly into the military's guesthouse. They also refused all invitations to banquets and immediately began investigation and review work.

As the work progressed, Wu Xiaobo almost dropped his jaw at the review records in his hands. So far, it has been confirmed that there are more than 30 officials of all ranks in Shandong Province involved in this case. Among them are not only the former Minister Yang of the Provincial People's Armed Forces Department, a deputy minister named Li, but also more than a dozen cadres from the People's Armed Forces Departments of various counties and districts, as well as more than 20 cadres at all levels from many functional departments such as the Finance Bureau, Public Security Bureau, and Grain Bureau.

Of course Wu Xiaobo had realized that as long as these materials were submitted, many people in the entire Shandong Province would be punished. However, he had no intention of helping to conceal the truth. First, he had never met these people and had no friendship with them at all. Moreover, these were only review records, while the relevant departments still had the original interrogation records. Even if he wanted to do something, he couldn't.

In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, Wu Xiaobo ordered that all irrelevant calls should be rejected with a reason, but he also asked the staff to keep a detailed record of all the people who called him.

After a few days, Wu Xiaobo was stunned by the long list of callers sent by his subordinates. There were names of his former comrades-in-arms and leaders, as well as secretaries of leaders at all levels in Shandong Province, and even the names of secretaries of the main leaders of Shandong Province.

Wu Xiaobo secretly congratulated himself for having foresight and making arrangements in advance, otherwise he would not have to work. Just dealing with all these calls from all sides would have given him a headache. The purpose of these people calling was like lice on a bald head. It was obvious that apart from pleading for someone or some of them, could they have nothing else to do and chat with him about people and ideals? If they really had that kind of relationship, why didn't they contact him before?

Wu Xiaobo was worried that his staff would be disturbed by external factors, so he convened a special meeting again to emphasize work discipline.

But a day later, a phone call from his home in Beijing put Wu Xiaobo in a dilemma. The person who called was his father, who was the deputy commander of a certain army. Wu's father told his son directly that he led his troops and was surrounded by the Japanese. It was the commander Yang of a certain army, who is now the Minister Yang of the Shandong Provincial People's Armed Forces Department, who happened to lead his troops passing by and defeated the Japanese and rescued Wu's father and the soldiers he led. Today, Minister Yang's wife and children came to Beijing to find him. They also knew that Minister Yang was doomed this time, but they just hoped to save Minister Yang's life for the sake of their past relationship.

Wu Xiaobo did not hide anything from his father and told his father directly that not only did he have the complete review records, but the relevant departments also had all the interrogation records. Even if he wanted to help, he could not do it. Once the relevant departments handed over all the interrogation records, he would definitely be implicated.

Wu's father told Wu Xiaobo that the other party had already convinced the main leaders of the relevant departments in Shandong Province, and they would make certain modifications to all the interrogation records of Minister Yang. As long as they resubmitted the interrogation records, he would just sign and approve them and he would not have to worry about anything else. All other matters would be handled by Shandong Province itself.

Wu Xiaobo was of course well aware that the fact that Minister Yang's wife and children could arrive in Beijing from the tightly guarded detention center at this time was definitely due to the operation of the Shandong Province. Since they had already convinced the relevant departments, he had no choice but to agree in order to repay the favor for his father. Otherwise, he and his father would be branded as ungrateful and would have no chance of staying in this circle in the future.
