Chapter 151 Confession
Mei Huizhen took a piece of ribs for Zuo Zhong, and said with a smile in her eyes: "Zuo Zhong, Duo Duo went to your grandfather's house a few days ago, you will accompany me back to see your grandfather in two days, and pick up your sister by the way return."

Zuo Zhong remembered that his younger sister went to a girls' Catholic Catholic school, which used the Western calendar, and should be in class now, so why did he go to his grandfather's house, so he asked, "The girls' school is already on holiday?"

Mei Huizhen's smile faded, and she sighed, "It's because there was a lot of trouble in school. Your father was afraid that something would happen to her, so he asked her to hide."

Hide?
After hearing this, Zuo Zhong put down the chopsticks in his hand, his face was ugly. Is there any law in Ningbo? Who dare to offend even the rich and gentry.

He is used to giving orders, so he naturally has the aura of a superior person. For example, when a small agent of the Secret Service saw him, he was like a mouse seeing a cat. Before his parents and grandfather, Zuo Zhong was He tried his best to cover it up, but when he heard that his sister was forced to leave home to avoid disaster, this stern aura could no longer be hidden.

Seeing his expression change, Gu Qi and the others also stopped talking, put down their wine glasses, and the wine table suddenly fell silent, only Zuo Xuechen didn't seem to notice, and happily raised his glass and took a sip of the wine.

Zuo Zhong frowned and asked, "Mother, my little sister is just a student, who would force him, and who can force him, the Zuo family is considered a respectable family in Ningbo, who is so bold?"

Mei Huizhen didn't notice the change in the atmosphere, and said angrily: "Who else is it, isn't it the spies from the Ningbo Party Headquarters Investigation Office, they insisted that Zuo Duo is suspected of being an underground party member.

Dodo is just a child. She listens to whatever her classmates say. How can she cover other people's mouths? I think they are crazy poor and want to take this opportunity to extort money from our family. "

Zuo Shanwen's complexion was also bad: "I entrusted your uncle to intercede, and finally picked Zuo Duo out, but they still didn't give up, so they could only let Duo Duo go to your grandparent's house to avoid the limelight."

Zuo Zhong was expressionless after hearing this. His uncle is a city councilor in Ningbo, and he is very familiar with the leaders of the government and the party department. Every department wants to give some face. Hands, it seems that things are not simple.

Zuo Zhong doesn't know if there is Xu Enzeng's shadow in it. If there is, it will touch his bottom line. If everyone has conflicts in official affairs, then knife to knife, gun to gun, what's the point of threatening his family? He is courting death.

Gui Youguang heard it from the side, and understood what was going on, he slapped the table and said, "MD, Xu's bullying is too much, section chief, I'll take my brothers to sweep that shitty investigation room."

Gu Qi showed anger, and said in a deep voice: "They are all working for the party and the country. If he does what he does, who will dare to work hard in the future. This matter cannot be easily let go. I think it is better to teach them a lesson."

As an officer, Zuo Zhong was under the black hand. Those subordinates had to express their views. More importantly, everyone had family and friends. Xu Enzeng was playing with fire, and he was not afraid of burning himself.

Zuo Xuechen's wine glass paused, section chief?My own grandson really gave him a surprise.

Shen Dongxin put down his chopsticks, Zuo Zhong's subordinates were so murderous and arrogant, they didn't even pay attention to departments like the investigation office of the party headquarters.

Zuo Chongqiang suppressed his anger, turned around and asked his father Zuo Shanwen: "Father, did Dodo participate in an underground organization at school? Even if he did, it's not a big deal, but I have to know."

Zuo Shanwen shook his head: "You don't know about Dodo's character, she likes to run to crowded places, and some of her classmates think our family is powerful, so they are willing to take her with them, just kidding around."

Zuo Jun interjected: "That group of female students is not simple. They go out to give speeches and distribute leaflets all day long, and they always take the younger sister as a cover every time. But if they really discuss important matters, they will avoid Zuo Duo."

It was the first time for Zuo Shanwen and his wife to know about this matter. Mei Huizhen glared at her youngest son angrily. If such an important matter was not mentioned earlier, Zuo Jun shrank his neck in fright, obediently shut up and sat up straight.

After hearing this, Zuo Zhong had a judgment in his heart, regardless of whether those female students were underground party or not, Zuo Duo's identity determined that she would not be easily accepted, it seemed that she was just following around and it was no big deal.

But he also noticed one thing, why didn't his grandfather, who has always been tough, come forward, otherwise, let alone the investigation office of the Ningbo Party Headquarters, even the Zhejiang Party Headquarters would not dare to be so presumptuous.

Although grandfather Zuo Xuechen did not become an official, his old friends and business partners spread all over the Republic of China, and many people had his help. During the Northern Expedition, the Zuo family even donated valuable supplies.

There is also his father, Zuo Shanwen, who was involved in the revolution with the former president, and has contacts in various yamen in Jinling, but this time he asked his uncle to deal with it. Could it be that there is something he doesn't know about it.

After thinking about it, Zuo Zhong's expression returned to normal, and he waved his hands at his subordinates: "Okay, You Guang, Lao Gu, today is a family feast, so don't talk about these unhappy things, everyone eat and drink well."

Zuo Xuechen looked at Zuo Zhong's reaction and was very satisfied in his heart. After all, he had been beaten in his official career, and his sudden change of color just now was for the sake of his family. It was understandable, but to solve the problem, he could not rely on instant courage. He had to keep calm and plan carefully.

In order to ease the atmosphere, everyone deliberately talked about some light-hearted and interesting things, especially Shen Dongxin's French jokes, which were the most popular, and Zuo Shanwen also talked about something he witnessed.

"Back then, Zuo encountered an incident in the French Concession in Shanghai. An Englishman accidentally fell into the Huangpu River. He shouted for help in English, but no one paid attention to him. He was about to drown. Someone shouted. Tell him to use French! The Englishman had to shout au secours (help), and six French gentlemen jumped down and rescued him."

"Haha."

The people at the table laughed and burst into tears. Seeing Zuo Xuechen, who always pays attention to eating and sleeping, he laughed out loud. It seems that no matter where he is, the French are so clear-minded.

The banquet finally came to an end in a happy atmosphere after twists and turns. Gu Qi and others left first. They knew that the Zuo family had something to discuss, and He Yijun was dragged away by Mei Huizhen.

As everyone left, the Zuo family's grandfather and grandson walked to the study room. The housekeeper stood at the door to prevent anyone from eavesdropping. Zuo Xuechen and Zuo Shanwen were silent, waiting for Zuo Chong's explanation. They all understand now, Zuo Shanwen Zhong definitely didn't work in any police station, and how his section chief got here, all these need to be said by Zuo Zhong himself.

Zuo Zhong has also decided to tell the whole story about himself, and must persuade the Zuo family to leave Ningbo as soon as possible, not only for the sake of future wars, but also for the sake of not being pinched by Xu Enzeng and his like.

He first poured a cup of tea for his grandfather and father, and then said: "When I was in the police academy, I met my teacher Dai Chunfeng. He is the chairman's confidant and the director of the secret service. Investigation and assassination.

The teacher felt that I was a promising talent, so he recommended me to join the Secret Service and wrote a letter for me. Then I led the team to investigate some espionage cases, and I was promoted to the chief of the captain's intelligence department several times. "

Zuo Xuechen's face was solemn. It sounded like the Secret Service Department was the Jinyiwei of the former Ming Dynasty. He was familiar with history and knew that these people did not end well, such as Mao Xiang and Jiang Yu. Throw it away like a shoe, for only the dead keep secrets.

Zuo Shanwen even slapped the table fiercely: "Zuo Zhong, did that Dai Chunfeng use his power to force you to go to some kind of secret service? I have a few friends who are working next to the Chairman. I will call them immediately and ask them to transfer you away. Tell me the truth, have you ever killed anyone or done anything bad?"

There are some things that he can't ask in detail. Assassinations in the Republic of China were too common. Both the South and the North like to use this method to quell disputes. Except for the underground party, all forces have done this.

Zuo Zhong had a clear conscience about this: "I have killed, but all I killed were national scum, traitors and lackeys. Father, I remember you said that a gentleman will stop if he is not a villain.

For the benefit of the country and the nation, these things must be done by someone, and correct actions cannot be stopped just because of other people's comments. Please father understand the difficulties of his son. "

Zuo Shanwen looked at him with mixed feelings. He had never seen Zuo Zhong like this, tough, iron-blooded, decisive, and at the same time had his own persistence. It seemed that his son had really grown up.

Zuo Xuechen listened to the conversation between the father and son, and said leisurely: "We'll talk about these things later, Zuo Zhong, do you have something to tell us, and your sister, does it have something to do with you?"

Zuo Zhong didn't expect his grandfather to be so perceptive, so he nodded, "The Secret Service belongs to the Bureau of Investigation and Statistics of the Military Commission. Director Chen's direct line, I suspect that this matter has something to do with one."

Zuo Xuechen stroked his beard: "I knew this was not an easy matter, so I didn't let your father intervene. Now it seems that this is a ulterior motive. What else do you have to say? "

Zuo Zhong suddenly realized that his grandfather had already noticed something was wrong, no wonder the family didn't come forward, he couldn't help but sigh the old man's shrewdness, since that was the case, he could say some things directly.

"Grandfather, father, the relationship between China and Japan is tense now, and the government has retreated again and again, and the Japanese's wolfish ambitions can no longer be suppressed. The short period may be one or two years, and the long period may be three or four years. There must be a war between the two sides.

As the chairman's hometown, Ningbo is also located on the coast, so it must be the priority target of the Japanese. How should my Zuo family deal with itself? Do I want to be an obedient citizen under the Japanese rule?

In addition, I caught many Japanese spies in the Secret Service, and the Japanese wanted to get rid of me quickly. Once they knew my details, I am afraid that even my grandfather, aunts and uncles would be implicated. "

Zuo Xuechen knew the seriousness of the situation. This old man who had experienced the former government, the military government, and the Republic of China had already seen the tension between China and Japan. A trace of heaviness.

After thinking for a long time, he asked Zuo Zhong: "Do you have any plans? If you have any, just say it."

Zuo Zhong said decisively: "Chong'er was born outside, and Shen was born inside and died! Our whole family moved overseas, spreading branches and leaves, waiting for the situation to change!"

Zuo Xuechen and Zuo Shanwen were stunned, did things really have to come to this point, the homeland was hard to leave, the two were a little hesitant.

　"The Abnormal Collector" is a very good book, I recommend it.
