Chapter 1405 You Go to the North (12000 More)

Lao Lu has been listening by the side. The more he listens, the more he feels that this matter is different from before.

He approached the cannon and asked seriously: "They all followed He Chao before. Is He Chao really okay?"

"He Chao"

Cannon hesitated for a few seconds and then said:

"Tiezi and I checked yesterday, but there were no problems. Today's interrogation of these people did not mention He Chao. It seems that they are doing this without telling He Chao."

"He Chao should also be kept in the dark."

"The people that He Chao brought in at the beginning were basically brought from Jie Fang City. That group of people is now divided into two major factions. One faction is led by Xu Zhen and several others. They are more closely related to He Chao and did not appear. What's the problem?"

"This faction consists of Jia Tan and Zhang Shunzi. After they had a falling out with Xu Zhen's group, they rarely interacted with each other."

Lao Lu nodded, "So that's it."

If you go by what Da Pao said, He Chao most likely didn't know what Zhang Shunzi and the others were doing, and he probably wasn't involved in it.

"Okay, I won't talk to you anymore. Since you have sent the person here, I will continue the interrogation." Cannon looked at the various tools on the work table and selected a sharp scalpel.

"Look up to the sky and help me hang Jia Tan on the cross."

Jia Tan struggled hard, with a look of horror on his face.

He had long heard about the brutal cannon interrogation methods. Looking at Zhang Shunzi and others on the cross, he became nervous and peed.

Dingtian was a little disgusted, so he hung him up and tied him to the cross.

Li Tie and Lao Lu next to them looked at each other, each feeling somewhat confused.

"I'm going to find the city lord, will you go?" Li Tie asked Lao Lu.

"Let's go, that's what I meant."

The second outer city.

In the ultraviolet lamp factory, He Chao is directing the transportation of ultraviolet lamps into the temporary warehouse.

"Director He, the city lord is outside the factory and wants you to go out for a moment." A worker hurried in and stood next to He Chao and said.

"The city lord is looking for me? Okay, I'll be there right away."

He Chao put down the speaker and hurriedly ran out of the factory.

He is busy every day without touching the ground, and until now he doesn't know what is happening in the First Outer City.

If the city lord comes to him, there must be something important for him to arrange.

After thinking, he walked to the door of the factory and saw the majestic figure of the city lord.

He walked quickly and walked to Li Yu's side.

"City Lord, are you looking for me?"

Li Yuzheng raised his head and looked at a tree not far away. There was a bird on the tree feeding the cubs in the nest.

"coming."

"He Chao, you've been quite busy recently, haven't you?"

"It's okay. City Lord, do you have anything to explain?" He Chao asked with his hands clasped in front of him and his head slightly lowered.

"In the north, there is a lack of personal management to lead all affairs. Go ahead and take up the burden there."

"ah?"

He Chao was a little surprised when he heard this. It was too sudden and there was no warning at all.

To be honest, he was not willing to let him go so far north.

After all, if he wanted to go to the north, he definitely couldn't bring his daughter with him, because he knew the situation in the north to some extent, and it was definitely not as safe as the Da Zhangshu Base.

If you take your daughter there, you can indeed see her every day.

But who will teach her daughter to study? You can't just take her to a place where the conditions are worse than those at the headquarters base just because you miss your daughter.

That's not love, that's selfishness.

"The northern border is currently developing an agricultural planting area. Lao Yi and the others are doing well in fighting, but the internal affairs management is not good. The minister cannot stay there forever. He will have to come back after a few days when things are stable."

"Aren't you willing to go to the North?"

Li Yu glanced at him lightly, and his tone could not tell the change in his mood.

"No, no, I will do whatever the city lord asks me to do." He Chao explained quickly.

"Just, when do you want to go?"

Li Yu didn't answer him immediately and walked forward.

In the second outer city, in addition to greenhouses and some buildings, there are also some fruit trees. A lot of pasture is planted under the fruit trees. These pastures are used to raise cattle and sheep, so no space is wasted.

A few meters away from the fruit trees, there is an open-air stone bench.

Li Yu sat on the seat and put his hands behind the back of his head.

He Chao followed Li Yu here and stood next to Li Yu, not daring to sit down.

"sit."

Li Yu said softly.

"No."

"sit."

"Thank you City Lord." When He Chao heard the City Lord say this for the second time, he didn't dare to say anything else and quickly sat down.

He sat upright, with his butt only reaching one-third of the way up the stone chair.

His mind kept thinking about why the city lord suddenly asked him to go to the north.

Quiet, silent.

The cool summer breeze blew by, and a few fallen leaves fell from the big tree not far away.

The grass rustled and joined together, looking like green waves.

It makes people feel relaxed and happy after seeing it.

He Chao knew that the city lord had his own reasons for asking him to go to the north, and now it seemed that he was really going.

It is estimated that the beautiful scenery in this headquarters base will not be seen in the future.

There are some things that are not there in my mind.

"Tell you something."

"City Lord, please tell me." He Chao knew that Li Yu should tell him why he did this.

"A few days ago, someone reported that Jia Tan used his position to deduct food from his cooperating staff in order to collect benefits."

"Zhang Shunzi and Yan Chan complained that the base did not promote them to inner city personnel, which was a deception."

Swish!

When He Chao heard this, his face changed drastically and he stood up immediately.

"City Lord, I don't know about this."

Li Yu glanced at him and pointed to the stone chair, "Sit down."

"Oh, okay. City Lord, I really don't know about this. I don't interact with them at all. After accepting various affairs in the outer city, I'm too busy every day to think about other things."

Sitting on the stone chair, he was uncomfortable no matter how he sat, especially the city lord sitting in the same row next to him, which made him even more uneasy.

Li Yu, who was sitting next to him, pulled a piece of grass next to him and broke it in half.

He whispered:

"You should also know about the review yesterday. We started with the inner city personnel and found no problems."

"But."

Li Yu's tone suddenly changed and became a little weird.

"Today, we checked the people in the outer city to secretly investigate Zhang Shunzi and Jia Tan. Da Pao found guns in Zhang Shunzi's room! They hid guns! After Da Pao's interrogation, we found out that they had the intention of rebellion and even made a plan."

"Ah???" He Chao stood up again after hearing this.

He looked terrified, shocked and angry and said:

"How dare they! How dare they do this!!? City Lord, I don't know about this, you must believe me."

He Chao knew what kind of person the city lord was. The city lord was always thoughtful and careful. If he said that, then it must be true.

And he also had some understanding of Da Pao's interrogation. Under such a cruel interrogation method, no one dared not to tell the truth.

Li Yu ignored him and continued to talk to himself.

"Zhang Shunzi and his team did this because they disagreed with the system of the Dazhangshu base. They were not satisfied with being just an outer city staff and felt that they could not see the hope of becoming an inner city staff, so they planned to overthrow the inner city.

They secretly prepared guns and tentatively tried to attract people to join them to accumulate strength.

But this plan was just beginning to be caught. Zhang Shunzi wanted to win over the royal city, but was reported by the royal city."

After Li Yu finished speaking, he glanced at He Chao.

"Sit down."

He Chao's expression was extremely complicated, and his emotions were extremely complicated.

Guilt, uneasiness, grievance, sadness, and more anger.

After all, Zhang Shunzi and his team were also outer city staff. Before joining the Dazhangshu base, they followed him, but he could not find that they had the intention of rebellion, and they were even operating in secret, but he didn't know it at all! Dereliction of duty!

He was worried that the city lord would not trust him because of this. Combined with the fact that the city lord asked him to go to the northern border just now,

Isn't that an assignment? In his opinion, this was obviously a manifestation of not trusting him.

Sadness and grievance, he had no intention of rebellion at all, on the contrary, he was extremely loyal to Li Yu, what could be more painful than a person you are loyal to, but he does not believe in yourself.

And anger, it was because of what Zhang Shunzi and his men did!

"City Lord, I can't sit down, can you let me stand, I feel better standing."

He Chao's face was crying and laughing, and he asked Li Yu.

Li Yu saw that he was indeed a little restless, and his emotions were too excited.

"City Lord, you must believe me, I, He Chao, have no other thoughts, I told you, when you saved me and my daughter, my life was yours."

He Chao continued excitedly: "If I have two hearts, I am."

"If you don't believe it, I can prove it to you, dig out my heart"

"Hahahahaha."

Li Yu was suddenly amused by his appearance.

"You are so old, and you have managed the outer city for such a long time, and you are still doing a good job. You are saying such childish and ridiculous things. Speak softly, or people will hear and laugh at you."

No matter how experienced and steady a person is, if his emotions reach an extreme, all his experience and experience will disappear, and he will speak like a child.

He Chao's nervous mood relaxed a lot when he heard Li Yu talking with a smile.

He also realized how ridiculous what he had just said was, and restrained his emotions.

A man dies for his confidant, and the feeling of being misunderstood and not understood is extremely painful.

"I don't care about other people's opinions, I care about your thoughts, the city lord."

"Ahem."

Li Yu waved his hand, feeling a little strange when he heard this sentence.

It's so corny.

"I trust you, so I let you go to the North."

"After all, Zhang Shunzi, Jia Tan and others followed you before. Now that they have made such a mistake, it is easy for others to think of you. In short, it is you who are dragged down by them.

Everyone will definitely have opinions about you, talk about you, and even target you."

"You are not stable as the supervisor of the outer city. I know you don't care, but I think it will be more beneficial for you to go to the North."

"Keep out of the limelight and stay in the North for a year or two. When the limelight is over, I will let you come back."

Li Yu's words made He Chao feel like being struck by lightning.

He originally thought that the city lord no longer trusted him, so he let him go to the North, but in fact it was to protect him.

If an ordinary person sat in Li Yu's position, he would definitely be suspicious.

There is something wrong with all the men, and they would rather kill them than let them go.

It is very likely that he will be completely dragged into the water, and death is also possible.

But Li Yu was thinking about how to protect himself at this time.

thump!

He Chao fell to his knees on the ground, crying, feeling extremely guilty.

He shouldn't doubt that the city lord doesn't believe him, he can always trust the city lord.

"City Lord, I was thinking about you just now. I shouldn't distrust you, City Lord. I didn't expect you, City Lord, to think so far."

"I'm the supervisor of the outer city, so forget it if I don't manage them well. City Lord, you not only don't punish me, but you also think about me so much. I, He Chao, will never die."

Li Yu saw him kneeling on the ground and looked at the factory again.

There were already two or three people at the factory gate looking around curiously. When Li Yu looked over, they immediately ran into the factory.

"Shame on you, get up quickly, He Chao!"

Li Yu was so angry and funny, what the hell is this?

Just messing around.

He Chao wiped away his tears and snot, stood up, looked at Li Yu with red eyes and said:

"Thank you City Lord, I will listen to you."

"Who do you think can take your place?" Li Yu asked.

He Chao is gone, but there must always be someone in the outer city to coordinate these things.

Otherwise it will be a mess.

He Chao heard that Li Yu asked him to recommend candidates. After thinking for a while, he said:

"Lao Zhou is more suitable, and so is Lao Yi. Lao Yi has a softer personality and can manage with balance.

In addition, there are many combatants in the outer city. The two of them have relatively high prestige among combatants and should be able to suppress them. "

"In addition, Song Min is also very suitable. She has management experience and a very straightforward style of work. She is also an old man at the base, and everyone is familiar with her."

Li Yu nodded. The candidates recommended by He Chao made sense.

"Yeah. I understand."

"Let me think about it again. You have been preparing for the handover recently. Once the candidate has been finalized, you can hand over the job to them."

"Okay, City Lord." He Chao rubbed his itchy eyes.

The conversation was almost over, and Li Yu had nothing to say, so he stood up and left.

He Chao rushed behind Li Yu and walked towards the inner city.

Twenty kilometers away from the Da Zhangshu base, Li Gang and the Da Zhangshu base commandos drove an off-road vehicle through National Highway 319.

After several days of repairs, National Highway 319 has become much smoother.

Although it cannot be compared with before the end of the world, compared with before the repair, the difference is still very big.

At least you don't have to drive and it won't be like riding a roller coaster, with your butt nearly split in two.

Soon, they encountered the road construction team.

Wang Cheng of the road construction team saw Li Gang's convoy, glanced at Lu Liping beside him, and quickly shouted to the road construction workers: "Stop road construction."

Then he said to Lu Liping: "Someone is coming from the base, let's go over and say hello."

"What's there to say hello to? They won't stop." Lu Liping curled his lips and said.

I thought to myself: It's really difficult to communicate in this royal city. If you can't get in, you have to find another target to win over.

Li Gang saw Wang Cheng and Lu Liping in front of him through the car window, and said to the people behind him: "Listen to my orders later, and move faster. He has a gun in his hand."

When Lu Liping goes out to perform missions as an outsider, he can be equipped with a submachine gun in his hand.

The road construction team all stopped and retreated to both sides to wait for Li Gang and his convoy to pass.

Recently, the number of transportation vehicles has increased, and Wangcheng plans to modify it into odd and even roads, so that road construction will not be delayed and the normal passage of transportation vehicles will not be delayed.

Looking at the two cars approaching slowly, Lu Li-ping looked at the vehicles with a smile.

He could recognize that this was a combat vehicle from the base, which was different from the vehicle used by collaborators.

soon.

The vehicle drove to Wangcheng and Lu Liping's side.

Crunch!

The car stopped immediately, right next to Lu Liping.

Lu Liping looked at Li Gang in the car with confusion on his face.

Crash--

The car door was opened at once, and a dozen commandos walked out.

Lu Liping was quickly surrounded, and Li Gang got out of the car.

Lu Liping looked confused and nervously clenched the gun hanging on his chest.

Li Gang saw him putting his hand on the gunshot wound and said coldly:

"If I were you, I'd take my hand off the gun."

Uh-huh!

More than a dozen combatants acted in unison and aimed at Lu Liping. Once Lu Liping made a move, they could shoot him into a sieve.

Wang Cheng next to him saw this and quickly moved away from here.

"Wangcheng...you..."

"Captain Li Gang, what do you mean? I didn't do anything. It's not good for you to have someone point a gun at me." Lu Liping said, raising his hands high under the threat of a gun. I dare not touch the gun in my arms again.

"Give me his gun!" Li Gang is different from Li Tie. Relatively speaking, he talks much less. If he can solve it with his fists, he doesn't use his mouth.

As the three combatants approached, Lu Liping swallowed nervously, his brain spinning rapidly.

Did the shoe fall off and something leaked happen?

what to do?

run?

How to run? Wherever you can run!

Resist? He was sure that if he dared to put his hands down, the combatants on the opposite side would definitely shoot him.

I can't resist at all!

Let's keep our heads down for now, see what's going on, and try to escape on the way.

The main reason was that Li Gang and his men got off the car too suddenly, and he was not prepared at all, so he was in a very passive situation.

Two combatants came forward and quickly controlled Lu Liping, and another combatant took off his gun, magazine, and even his bulletproof vest.

He was also tied up with a rope.

Lu Liping struggled hard, saying, "Don't be like this, we are all family, you have to tell me why? Why are you arresting me?"

"Don't move, be honest!" The combatants would not indulge him, and tightened the rope.

"Seal his mouth." Li Gang saw him nagging and whining, and waved his hand impatiently.

Sizzle!

The combatants sealed his mouth with tape, and then put a black hood on him.

Lu Liping was extremely frustrated and didn't know what was going on. He couldn't help but think of that possibility, was their plan of rebellion known to others?

Impossible, they hid so well, and it's just the beginning!

The combat personnel escorted him to the car. Before getting in, Li Gang glanced at Wang Cheng and nodded.

Boom boom boom!

The vehicle started and drove towards the big camphor tree base.

After they left, the partners who had just stood by talked about it.

"Lao Zhang, what kind of drama is this? Just now, it was someone from our big camphor tree base who arrested Lu Liping? One's own people against one's own people?"

"Didn't you see it? If I were to say, Lu Liping, this jerk, should be dealt with. He looks down on us partners all day long, just like that Zhang Shunzi."

"It feels like something big is going to happen."

"Who cares? What does it have to do with me, a road builder."

Wang Cheng saw that these partners were chatting, so he shouted to them:

"Stop talking, hurry up and build the road."

Many partners carried tools and drove the road roller back to the middle, and the mechanical sound sounded again.

Wang Cheng looked at the vehicles going away, and felt relieved.

This bunch of ungrateful people deserve to be punished.

Camphor Tree Base.

Li Yu brought He Chao to the interrogation room in the inner city.

At noon, the temperature outside was nearly 40 degrees Celsius, but I don’t know whether it was because the interrogation room was underground or because too many people died here. After Li Yu entered the interrogation room, he could clearly feel that the temperature inside was much lower than outside.

“Brother, I just looked for you and couldn’t find you. Where did you go?” Li Tie asked when he saw Li Yu coming in.

The next second, he saw He Chao behind Li Yu.

“Director He, you are here too.” Li Tie’s tone was a little strange.

Hearing Li Tie’s words, Da Pao, who was holding a scalpel, stopped, wiped the blood off his face, and looked at He Chao.

Lao Lu and the others in the interrogation room also looked at He Chao.

There was something indescribable in their expressions.

He Chao naturally felt this look and pinched the corner of his clothes awkwardly.

Maybe Da Pao and the others looked at him like this yesterday, but He Chao didn’t feel it yesterday.

After He Chao learned about the situation today, he could feel it instantly.

No wonder the city lord said that it would be best for him to go to the northern border.

If he stayed in the camphor tree base, the mistakes made by Jia Tan and the others would inevitably involve him, and he couldn't explain it clearly.

Alas.
