After Hong Tianyuan got on the bus, the driver Xiao Li didn't dare to ask any questions because Hu Xiaomin was still standing outside the bus enthusiastically. He immediately started the bus and drove away.

"Damn it!"

After the car drove out of the office, Hong Tianyuan suddenly threw away the brocade box in his hand and cursed angrily.

Xiao Li asked strangely: "Director, what's wrong? Didn't the gold bars be sent out?"

Hong Tianyuan looked regretful and sighed, "The gold bars were taken away, and the box was returned."

Xiao Li laughed and said, "Just collect the money."

Hong Tianyuan scolded angrily: "You know what a big deal!"

Xiao Li shrank his neck and did not dare to say anything. He increased the accelerator and drove towards the provincial government.

After getting off the bus, Hong Tianyuan went to the office of the senior official Wu Guangao.

Before the establishment of the Suzhou office in Qingxiang, Wu Guangao's office was always full of guests. Even if Hong Tianyuan wanted to meet him, he would be a trick. But now the house is neglected and he can't even see a ghost every time he comes.

Hong Tianyuan walked in and saw that Wu Guangao was the only one, and said with a groan: "A high-ranking official, I was fooled by Hu Xiaomin."

Wu Guangao saw the brocade box in Hong Tianyuan's hand and asked in surprise: "What's going on? He confiscated the money?"

Wu Guangao is a tall fat man with no hair on his head and a lot of flesh on his face. Wu Guangao is from Taicang. He graduated from Baoding Army Officer's School and later became a reporter from the Civil Rights Daily. Later, he became a soldier. He served as the chief of staff and acting commander of the Guangzhou Jiangfang Command, the supervisor of the Guangdong Provincial Navigation Bureau, and the chief of staff of the Guizhou Governor's Office.

Later, he became the deputy commander of the 10th Army of the National Revolutionary Army and participated in the Northern Expedition. During the Northern Expedition, he served as the commander of the Xuzhou Garrison. In March 1938, he participated in the pseudo-Republic of China Restoration Government. This year, he was transferred to a senior official in Jiangsu.

Because Wu Guangao is a reformist government, he is not popular with Wang Jiqing. This time, Wang Chunyuan's extortion was also the mansion group taking the opportunity to suppress the reformist faction.

Hong Tianyuan smiled wryly and said, "I have received the money, but this kid is too treacherous and has not taken the bait at all."

Wu Guanzhang held a goose licked the ash in his hand, and asked in confusion: "It's impossible. As long as Hu Xiaomin collects the money, no matter whether he does it for you or not? He can't even hold our palms."

Hong Tianyuan sighed and said helplessly: "He asked me to appreciate the tea bowls in the office and asked me if I could change the gold bars. At that time, I just wanted him to accept the gold bars, that is, it was the Tianqing glaze tea cup of Ru kiln in the Northern Song Dynasty? It was worth at least forty gold bars. This kid was not polite and made a deal with me on the spot. He accepted the gold bars and put his broken tea cups in my box. The most shameless thing was that he also signed an agreement with me, saying that I still owe him twenty gold bars."

He originally wanted to go in with the brocade box in public and then come out empty-handed. Everyone knew that Hu Xiaomin had accepted his things. But Hu Xiaomin took the gold bar? The brocade box was returned to it without any trace. It was called protecting the Northern Song Dynasty Ru Kiln teacup.

Even if he reported this to the Central Supervision Commission, he would not take any action. As long as Hu Xiaomin took out their agreement, he would have to return Hu Xiaomin twenty gold bars.

Antiques can buy things that are worthless in the eyes of others? Some people can indeed buy them for a fortune of money. Besides, they wrote it very clearly in the agreement. Hong Tianyuan bought a "Northern Song Ru Kiln Sky Green Tea Cup" worth forty gold bars. If he regrets it, he can only say that he has a look.

Hong Tianyuan is a well-known collector in Jiangsu, especially he is very knowledgeable about porcelain. If he told others that he had brought a tea bowl of the Republic of China and saw the Ru kiln tea cup of the Northern Song Dynasty, even if he said it, no one would believe it.

Wu Guangao frowned: "Hu Xiaomin is very experienced. Has he seen through your plan?"

Hong Tianyuan sighed and said, "It should be because he has received experience. Even if the gift-giver reports it, there is no way for him. If Wang Chunyuan meets this move, the Central Supervision Commission will have no way to deal with him."

Wu Guangao said: "Indeed, we cannot collect money directly, let alone collect money in the office. Let's forget it this time, after all, in the eyes of the Nanjing government, we are raised by stepmothers."

When Hong Tianyuan heard Wu Guangao's tone, he became anxious: "What? Forget it? Senior officials, this time they were targeting me and Wang Chunyuan, but in fact they were targeting you."

Wu Guangao is a member of the reform government. Wang Zhiqing always keeps some face, at least he won't kill him. But he is different. He may be killed at any time by the "chicken" that kills the chicken to warn the monkey.

Wu Guangao sighed and said, "It turns out that the best turning point is Hu Xiaomin. But judging from his attitude of collecting money, you can imagine that even eating people will not vomit bones. Such a person is enough as long as he doesn't go against us. It's simply a delusion to let him turn the gun and deal with Zhao Shijun."

Wang Chunyuan asked Pan Hongqi for bribes, which is actually not a big deal. This is the default rule in the officialdom. Everyone has to eat, especially the officials of the Civil Affairs Department who are in charge of the appointment and removal of administrative personnel. If you want to maintain your official position, you must be respected.

Hong Tianyuan murmured to himself: "Hu Xiaomin really feeds wolves that are not familiar. Can't we really be slaughtered by others? The Qingxiang Suzhou Office often directly issues orders to the government without the consent of the provincial government. The Qingxiang Branch below even dares to intercept the taxes from the land management and business tax collection and inspection departments of each county as the funds for the clearing of the village. In the long run, the provincial government will inevitably be replaced by the Qingxiang Committee, and both I and the senior officials will become decorations."

Wu Guangao sighed: "Hu Xiaomin is indeed a wolf with a very big appetite and can eat people. And their Qingxiang Service Team is like bandits. They are active in counties and townships, and don't they often extort? If Wang Chunyuan asks for bribes, the Qingxiang Service Team is blatantly robbing money."

Hong Tianyuan suddenly said: "In fact, it is not without problems to counter the Qingxiang Committee."

Wu Guangao suddenly said: "Since the investigation team of the Central Supervisory Commission is in Suzhou, they must let them see the real situation. For example, the illegal acts of Qingxiang service are called Qingxiang, but they are actually bandits. As long as there is something unfair, they can be told."

Hong Tianyuanjian gave a thumbs up: "High officials are of high opinion."

Hu Xiaomin had no appetite. He just took ten gold bars to Zhao Shijun's office after leaving Hong Tianyuan. Naturally, this kind of thing could not be hidden from Zhao Shijun. Instead of waiting for Zhao Shijun to ask, it would be better to report it to him on his own initiative.

Hu Xiaomin became more and more excited and generous as he spoke: "Minister, Hong Tianyuan feels that just twenty gold bars can make me reverse the water. Not to mention twenty, even two hundred, two thousand, or even twenty-tonnage gold bars, I will not be moved."
