Jin Jiu seemed to be wandering aimlessly on the street, but in fact he came back to Beijing to meet someone.
In the early years, after Fang Zida instructed Zhou Yuanliang to form a secret service, Jin Jiu, who had a relationship with him once, was naturally included in the organization by Zhou Yuanliang and became a peripheral staff.
Although he was a peripheral member, Jin Jiu played a big role in the previous political chaos. He used his Manchu identity to complete the task well, and thus received a heavy reward from Fang Zida. Subsequently, Zhou Yuanliang formally recruited him as a member of the Secret Service and was responsible for intelligence work in some areas of the capital. In the past few years, as the size of the Secret Service has grown, Jin Jiu's position has also increased. His staff has grown from a few people at the beginning to dozens of people, and he even has the official rank of captain.
After the Secret Service broke up, Jin Jiu, an old man, did not follow Zhou Yuanliang to the Intelligence Bureau, but was transferred to the Security Bureau. Because he was senior and had an unexplainable relationship with Fang Zida, Chen Guofu, as the deputy director of the Intelligence Bureau, made great use of Jin Jiu after he took over. As for Jin Jiu, he was also at home in the Intelligence Bureau and was doing well. Compared with the time when he sold his ancestral home to Fang Zida in such a state of decline, now Jin Jiu can be said to be rich and powerful.
More than a year ago, Jin Jiu received a task and left Beijing for the northwest. This task is unknown to outsiders, but it was actually Fang Zida who asked Chen Guofu to choose reliable personnel to be responsible for the security of the military industrial base. When it comes to who the security bureau can trust the most, Chen Guofu picked over and over again and finally fell in love with Jin Jiu and handed this task into his hands.
Although going to the northwest is not as enjoyable as the capital, Jin Jiu is also a smart man. He knows that his success today is entirely due to Fang Zida's proposal. Otherwise, how could he, a Manchu with a poor settlement, have the current prosperity? Besides, compared with other people in the security bureau, Jin Jiu is more educated than knowledgeable. In terms of ability, I am not very capable. I relied on the trust from my superiors and a speculation to get to where I am today. Although going to the northwest is more difficult and tiring, it also has its benefits. Not to mention anything else, just because Chen Guofu promised him that as long as he was willing to stay in the northwest for two years, the military rank on his shoulders would be immediately upgraded. After returning to Beijing, he not only continued to be responsible for his original work, but also gave him a heavier burden.
Hearing these benefits, Jin Jiu immediately patted his chest and asked for the errand without saying anything. After taking some time to settle down at home, I took people to the northwest. This journey lasted for more than a year, during which Jin Jiu never came back even once, but this time he came back thanks to Chen Fu, who took the opportunity of Chen Fu's trip to Beijing to report to Fang Zida at the end of the year to return to the capital.
Today is the first day after returning to the capital. Chen Fu went to the State Council early in the morning. Jin Jiu was supposed to be waiting outside, but he received a message from someone from the Security Bureau. Chen Guofu asked him to leave the work to his subordinates for the time being, and then immediately went to meet a person near Andingmen Street.
Because of this, Jin Jiu appeared here on Andingmen Street with two of his confidants, and met Na Liu by chance. After breaking up with Na Liu, Jin Jiu walked around like ordinary people, and even stopped when he saw interesting gadgets on the stalls, and haggled with the boss in a serious manner. If they didn't know Jin Jiu's true identity, most people would just look at his appearance. Listening to his accent, one would think that this was an old Beijinger who went shopping for the New Year.
"This man. Ten big men can't get any cheaper. Look at this craftsmanship, this workmanship, and the real cowhide bottom. It would have been enough to be used in the palace before" A In front of the cloth shoe stall. Jin Jiu picked out two pairs of cloth shoes and was negotiating the price with the boss. The boss shook his head after hearing Jin Jiu's counter-offer. He held a shoe in his hand to show Jin Jiu the workmanship, and kept praising his business.
"Return to the palace? Do you think you are running the Ministry of Internal Affairs?" Jin Jiu was happy when he heard this, and joked with a smile: "Don't talk about Lafayette back then. Even the shoes of the little masters below were used. It is made of lamb, and it has to be a lamb less than half a year old. Do you know why? First, get the word sheep, sheep - raise! The soles of the feet can open the meridians, the shoes nourish people, and people can live longer. Second, it is made of small lamb leather. It has to be tanned and made to be as fine and smooth as silk, so that it is comfortable to wear on your feet. Your yellow cowhide is what foreign devils like to use, and who of the distinguished people use this stuff as a base? These three things"
Jin Jiu shook his head and boasted, but the boss, dumbfounded, stopped him and continued. He bowed his hands and said, "Come on! Master! You are the master! You are awesome! You are awesome, aren't you? You can give me more for this small business." If you continue to say so, don¡¯t open the business. In this way, you eight big men can take away the two pairs of shoes, is that okay?"
"Hahaha!" Jin Jiu laughed happily, immediately put his shoes in his arms, took out eight copper coins and threw them to the boss, then swayed away.
Along the way, Jin Jiu felt very comfortable. It was not that he had no money, but that he enjoyed such a life, which made him regain the feeling he had in Beijing.
After leaving the shoe shop, I walked forward not far and finally arrived at the place and looked at aJin Jiu turned sideways and winked at the two men behind him in a small shop with an inconspicuous appearance, and then stepped inside.
This shop sells groceries, and it was dark inside. Except for a shopkeeper and a waiter, not even a single customer was seen. After looking around, Jin Jiu walked straight to the counter and asked, "Are there any red candles from Shanxi?"
The shopkeeper looked up at Jin Jiu and replied: "Is there a happy event at home, sir? How much do you want?"
"999, it should be like a dragon and a phoenix."
"Do you want a candlestick?"
"Gold inlaid with silver!"
"Yes, yes, yes Sir, please come with me. The things are in the warehouse. You can take care of them first. When it suits you, I will take them to your house"
The shopkeeper smiled and invited Jin Jiu in, greeted the waiter, then led Jin Jiu into the counter, and then walked inside.
Entering the inner room, crossing the yard, and coming to a row of side rooms to the east, the shopkeeper stopped at the door of one of the rooms, raised his hand and knocked lightly a few times.
"My boss, we are here"
"please come in!"
"yes¡¡."
The shopkeeper opened the door, turned around and made a gesture of invitation to Jin Jiu, who was standing not far away. Jin Jiu nodded slightly and strode in. As soon as he entered, the shopkeeper outside gently closed the door.
The room was divided into an inner room and an outer room. The ground was burning and the warmth was tight. Jin Jiu looked around and saw that there was no one in the outer room. He lifted up the dividing curtain and walked into the inner room. When he entered, he saw two people sitting on the kang. While drinking tea, Jin Jiu was stunned for a moment when he saw clearly the man whose face was facing him.
"Secretary! Why are you here?"
Jin Jiu never expected that waiting for him would be Chen Guofu, the deputy director of the Security Bureau. Before coming here, Jin Jiu was a little confused. Chen Guofu had mysteriously asked someone to tell him why he was here. He had already returned to the capital. If he had anything to do, he could just tell him face to face.
After seeing Chen Guofu, Jin Jiu became even more confused. A dignified deputy director of the Security Bureau, who could clearly summon him in the bureau, met in such a mysterious place. What on earth was going on?
"Old Jin, come on, come on, sit down." Chen Guofu was still very polite to Jin Jiu. He smiled and waved to him, gesturing for him to sit on his side.
Full of doubts, he walked over and sat down. At this time, Jin Jiu saw a young man sitting opposite Chen Guofu, who had his back turned to him just now. He was sure that he had never seen this young man before, but for some reason, he always felt that there was something between his eyes. Re-familiar feeling.
"Secretary, who is this?"
"Haha, look at me, let me introduce you!" Chen Guofu patted his forehead and said with a smile: "This is my younger brother Li Fu, whose cousin is Qinshi. He is a talented student at Beiyang University. He just graduated two months ago and is now working in the Security Bureau. Qinshi, this is the Lao Jin I mentioned to you. Lao Jin is an old man in the Secret Service. He has rich experience and is very capable. Lao Jin, Qinshi is a newcomer. I have to rely on you to help me in the future. he."
"Senior Jin, young Lifu, please give me your advice in the future!" Chen Lifu stood up and bowed to Jin Jiu, his gentle smile showing sincerity.
"You can't help but Brother Chen, is it okay for me to call you like this?" Jin Jiu stood up in a hurry and returned the greeting. Seeing Chen Lifu nodding, he said seriously: "To put it bluntly, I, Old Jin, am just a poor man. In the past few years, If it weren't for the bureau's care, I wouldn't be where I am today. Brother Chen is the bureau's younger brother and a college student. He has a bright future. The bureau asked me to meet you today. I understand what it means. But in the future, there will be no If you understand anything, feel free to come to me, I, Lao Jin, will never give you a second thought! Then again, in the future, I still have to rely on the bureau chief and my brother to help Lao Jin."
"Hahaha!" Chen Guofu said with a smile on the side: "Okay, okay, we are all our own people, there is no need to be polite. There is no point in letting you know each other in private today, Lao Jin, from now on I will treat this brother I leave it to you. If there is anything he doesn¡¯t understand, teach him well. If there is anything wrong, please take responsibility for it.¡±
"It should, it should." Jin Jiu smiled and nodded repeatedly.
"Qinshi, when you enter the Security Bureau, you have to restrain your college behavior, do your job well, and be a down-to-earth person. If I know that you don't listen to Lao Jin and make your own decisions, once something goes wrong, you, even my own brother, won't be able to protect you. Stay here, do you understand?"
"Don't worry, brother, I understand." Chen Lifu agreed in a low-key manner.
Then, Chen Guofu talked about some rules and responsibilities of the Security Bureau. Jin Jiu had already memorized these things by heart. Chen Guofu was not talking to him, but mainly to explain to his brother Chen Lifu.
Listening to Chen Guofu talking, Jin Jiu couldn't help but feel a littleBoring. Chen Guofu allowed him to take his younger brother with him privately. He could understand this, but there was no place where such arrangements could not be arranged. Why should he explain it here in this way? Needless to say, this is a safe house of the Security Bureau, used to handle some urgent and confidential work, or to hide some important people. There is no need to use it in this way.
Just when Jin Jiu couldn't understand Chen Guofu's intention, Chen Guofu had already finished what he had explained, and then asked Jin Jiu seriously: "Old Jin, there is actually something else that asked you to come here today. I know that you are a Manchu, Northeastern Are the relations with Mongolia still there?" (To be continued)
