The Republic of Heroes

The secretary also looked disdainful, and replied: "Zhang Zongchang is generous, he promised to hand over half of the 26 counties of Jiaolai Road to the provincial government, and put his Jiaodong Army under the jurisdiction of the Provincial Security Command .”

Wu Xiaoliang thought that Zhang Zongchang's sending to the thirteen counties sounded generous, but even if he didn't send them to these counties, he might not be able to keep them.Because the several county magistrates in the county magistrate meeting who advocated being directly under the provincial government were all included in Jiaolai Road.

Tantai Jize also felt that Zhang Zongchang had nothing to do with the white wolf, and asked: "Is it possible to help Han or Zhang, the chief?"

"Let's talk about it first. You and Zhu Wusheng cooperate and go to meet the representatives of these two people."

After Zhu Wusheng received Wu Xiaoliang's order to let him and Tantai Jize take charge of the negotiation, he was flattered. He was originally the magistrate of Linzi County. Although he was responsible for a lot of work, disaster relief and construction were all his duties. But this time it was different, making it represent Wu Xiaoliang's trust in negotiating on behalf of the provincial government.This was an excellent signal, and he couldn't help being unhappy in his official career.

Unexpectedly, after some negotiations, the representatives of Han and Zhang were nothing. The representative of Han Fuju was very arrogant. He didn't even recognize the legitimacy of the Linzi provincial government, and denounced: "Don't count on taking advantage of the fire. Chairman Han hopes that you Linzi County has given enough generous conditions for sending troops, and Chairman Han's reward is far better than that of Zhang Ni, so don't toast or eat fine wine."

Representative Han Fuju also learned of Zhang Zongchang's conditions from nowhere, so he was confident and extremely domineering.Tantai Jize heard that this person was so arrogant, he turned around and left without saying a word.Zhu Wusheng wanted to return a few words, but when he saw this, he followed suit and left.

Zhang Zongchang's representative was very talkative, but he didn't give in at all, claiming that this was already the best offer Zhang Dashuai could offer.

It was a stalemate for a few days.One night, Han Fuju's representative suddenly came to Zhu Wusheng's residence, hoping to restart the negotiation.Zhu Wusheng looked puzzled, "Mr. Representative, I can't decide whether to negotiate or not. My real job is only the county magistrate of Linzi County. I have no say in the decision-making of the provincial government. Why don't you go to Director Tantai?"

Representative Han Fuju had a bitter look on his face. Why didn't he go to see that weird old man, but he didn't even let him meet him. There was no other way, so he remembered to follow County Magistrate Zhu's way.He took out a small red cloth bag from his pocket and put it on the table. Hearing the sound of the object wrapped in the cloth bag colliding with the table, it seemed that the weight was not light.

"It's a small thing, it's not a respect, I hope County Magistrate Zhu will accept it with a smile!"

The representative had a smile on his face, and Zhu Wusheng was tired of looking at it, so he hurriedly pushed the cloth bag away. The place where he got it was really heavy, and based on experience, it should be a gold bar.However, since Wu Xiaoliang established the provincial government in Linzi, he has promulgated a decree that government officials who have accumulated more than ten silver dollars in corruption and bribery will be immediately dismissed from public office and will never be hired.More than [-] people were sentenced to ten years in prison, and more than [-] people were executed immediately.The law is so strict, he naturally dare not ruin his great future because of this little profit, and remembering the arrogant attitude of this person that day, so he said coldly:

"Take the things back, and I will report your request to the chairman. Whether we talk about it or not can only depend on what we like."

The representative thought he was being polite, so he wanted to push back even though he was willing to take it back. Zhu Wusheng immediately turned cold.

"The provincial government decrees that once the briber is found out, he will be sentenced to three years in prison!"

Zhu Wusheng did not just say it casually, Wu Xiaoliang had indeed made a decree that those who gave bribes should be sentenced to the same sentence, but he forgot the specific amount of prison term corresponding to the specific amount, so he just made up a random number to deter the representative.

Sure enough, after hearing Zhu Wusheng's words, Representative Han Fuju froze for a moment, and when he saw that the other party didn't seem to be lying, he shivered and put the red cloth bag back.

As soon as Representative Han Fuju was sent away, Representative Zhang Zongchang eagerly caught up with us. This person was straightforward, and directly put a Citibank cashier's check on the table in Zhu's living room.Zhu Wusheng glanced at it, and his heart skipped a beat when he saw that it was 1 yuan.Xin Dao a few days ago, this guy was still stingy, but now he is so generous, a county magistrate in his own district is willing to give [-] oceans.Why did this person come?Could it be that, like Representative Han Fuju, he wants to start negotiations again?

Zhu Wusheng pushed back the promissory note again, and said resolutely: "On behalf of the matter, Linzi has strict laws and regulations, and no bribery is allowed. You will hurt me by giving something!"

How could the representative be willing to take the things back easily, and said in a low voice: "Major Zhu's words are wrong. Only you know this matter and I know it. God knows it. If you don't tell me, who can tell me?" Know?"

If it is said that the majestic County Magistrate Zhu is not tempted by the ten thousand oceans, it is definitely not true, but he can still weigh the pros and cons. Accepting the ten thousand oceans will definitely cause harm and no benefit. Now his future is bright, He knew that it was hard to come by, so he became more determined.

Representative Zhang Zongchang had no choice but to take it back resentfully. This was the first time he encountered an official who offered money but didn't want it. He thought about it but couldn't figure out the reason.I had no choice but to bite the bullet and explain the purpose of my visit. It turned out that like Representative Han Fuju, he also demanded to restart the negotiation.

Zhu Wusheng dealt with it again, it turned out that he was also rejected by Tantai Jize, and found here in desperation, but this person was even more difficult to deal with.After he agreed to pass it on for him, he kicked out the representative Zhang Zongchang who refused to leave.

Early the next morning, Zhu Wusheng came to report to Wu Xiaoliang the abnormal behavior of representatives Han Fuju and Zhang Zongchang last night.

"Could it be that there has been a change on the Lunan battlefield?" He tentatively asked. He privately speculated that the 180-degree change in Han Fuju's representative's attitude must be due to the unfavorable situation on the battlefield for Han Fuju.

Wu Xiaoliang threw a telegram draft in front of Zhu Wusheng, and said, "You can see it at a glance."

Zhu Wusheng was so excited that he even let himself read the confidential telegram, which shows that Chairman Wu did not regard himself as an outsider.He excitedly picked up the telegram and read it at a glance, which surprised him.

It turned out that Han Fuju defeated Zhang Zongchang's army in Yishui, and the troops went straight to Gaomi.Zhang Zongchang's main force was completely defeated and retreated to Qingdao.After more than a month of fighting, Han Fuju finally won a disastrous victory after paying a high price.This also explained why representative Zhang Zongchang was willing to spend such a large amount of money on a county magistrate of his own district. Defeat was imminent, and a stepping stone of [-] silver dollars was indeed not expensive.

But Han Fuju won the victory, why is he so eager to restart the negotiation?Zhu Wusheng was puzzled, Wu Xiaoliang saw him bewildered, and passed another telegram.
