Episode 12: Ordered to go to Jinzhou for economic inspection

In August 1948, in order to save the huge economic crisis that was rapidly intensifying due to the civil war, Chiang Kai-shek, as the president of the National Government, issued an emergency financial and economic order and announced the implementation of currency system reforms in an attempt to seize gold and silver foreign currencies from the people and continue to expand armaments for the civil war. maintain its dictatorial rule.

In order to ensure that the currency reform could be implemented smoothly across the country, Chiang Ching-kuo personally sat in Shanghai. However, in the face of the intensifying wave of public opinion, he had to point his finger at the Kuomintang itself. Lin Xi is now the director of the logistics department of the Shanghai Station of the Secrecy Bureau. He mainly helps resell military rations from the front lines in various places, and he also has to manage the profit sharing. Xing Lixian gave him a task, a task that he could achieve meritorious service without reassignment – economic inspection.

The superior appointed Lin Xi as the special commissioner of economic inspection to investigate the corruption case in Jinzhou. Lin Xi was unwilling, but Xing Lixian was not negotiating with him. Lin Xi had to hide the accountability from above and get back the account book and share. Not long after Lin Xigang and Wenhua got married, Xing Lixian said that this time could be regarded as his and Wenhua’s honeymoon trip.

Lin Yuan learned that Lin Xi was going to Jinzhou for business, and because Li Yunfei was also in Jinzhou, she wanted to go too. Lin Xi naturally did not take her child’s words to heart. Xing Lixian told Lin Xi to calm down his bad temper after going to Jinzhou, after all, it was his territory. Soon, Lin Xi and Wenhua took a plane to Jinzhou. As soon as they got off the bus and arrived at their residence, Li Yunfei, the current leader of the ninth group of the Second Division of the Northeast Suppression General, came to see him.

Also coming with him was He Xiaoyuan, who has now become Li Yunfei’s wife. While He Xiaoyuan and Wen Hua were talking together, Li Yunfei took Lin Xi to eat authentic Northeastern iron pot stew. Zhou Yingqun, the captain of the Nanjing Station Operation Team of the Secrecy Bureau, arrived later. More than three years have passed, and this is a rare opportunity for the three of them to get together for a drink and a meal.

While drinking, Lin Xi expressed his opinions on the current situation, and Zhou Yingqun reminded Lin Xi and Li Yunfei that the cruelty of today’s intra-party struggle is far beyond their imagination, and his father is a warning. Especially for Lin Xi, Zhou Yingqun emphasized that certain things should not be said, otherwise someone would take the opportunity to cause trouble and report back. At that time, Lin Xi would suffer, but Lin Xi did not take it seriously.

The next day, Li Yunfei took Lin Xi to the Jinzhou Officers Club, where there were some officers and their families, including An Chengren, commander of the 55th Division of the National Revolutionary Army, and Li Ruhe, director of the General Affairs Department of the Jinzhou Command Post of the Northeast Suppression General. . He Xiaoyuan took Wenhua to meet other officers, while Lin Xi was taken to the back room to play cards with Li Ruhe and others.

An Chengren’s card was very good, but he didn’t call, obviously trying to put Lin Xi in the wrong. After the card game was over and the atmosphere was high, Li Ruhe asked Lin Xi straight to the point what his plans were this time. Lin Xi did not reveal his plans. He only said that he was new here and just took it step by step. Seeing that the conversation was deadlocked, Li Yunfei came out in time to smooth things over and took Lin Xi away from the poker table.

Zhou Yingqun borrowed some people from Li Yunfei. He had an important task today. Back at his residence, Li Yunfei gave Lin Xi the money he had just won from playing cards. Wenhua had not lost in playing cards today. Before the two of them started doing anything, people started giving money. It seemed that the water in Jinzhou was better than They imagined deeper. Zhou Yingqun and Wang Muqing took people to the hotel to arrest them.
