Chapter 71 The He Family is Demoted
Ever since Su Hong went to Cheng's house, Cheng Jinghao did not notice anything unusual about He Yong, but he became more serious during training.
This day, Li He went for a walk in the fields in the south with Lin Momo and met an unfamiliar military family member.
"Hey, are Captain Cheng's wife and Political Commissar Zhao's wife out for a walk?"
The two looked at each other, "Aunt, who are you?" Li He asked. But judging from her age, they guessed that she was Zhang Zhengxin's daughter-in-law.
"Oh, I haven't introduced myself yet. I am the wife of Deputy Captain Zhang. My name is Qin Hongmei." The woman said with a smile.
"Hello, Aunt Qin." The two smiled and prepared to leave.
"Hey, where are you going?"
Isn't it obvious? This direction is the south, there are only rice fields.
"Aunt, let's go take a look at the rice fields in the south." Li He said.
"Oh, the rice fields over there are planted by Comrade Lin, right?"
"You can't say that I planted it. I just talked about it." Lin Momo said.
"Oh, you're so awesome. I'm so glad to have a capable daughter-in-law like you." Qin Hongmei stepped forward and prepared to hold Lin Momo's hand, but she dodged.
"Aunt, our Momo is pregnant, so you'd better be more careful." Li He looked at her with an unfriendly look and pulled Lin Momo back a step.
"Oh, okay." Qin Hongmei withdrew her hand embarrassedly.
"Aunt, it's nothing. We'll leave first." Li He glanced at her and took Lin Momo away.
Li He started talking only when there was no one around.
"This person is really annoying, but I hope it's not that Deputy Captain Zhang. I don't want to deal with such a person." Li He sighed.
"Even if it's Deputy Regiment Commander Zhang, she's not." Such a person will only hinder others. Deputy Regiment Commander Zhang has been exposed long ago. Is there any need for him to come to the Southwest Military Region?
After a few days, Commander Chen and Political Commissar Cao found Cheng Jinghao and Zhao Zhigang.
"The He family was demoted. This is a letter that the old man of the He family asked someone to write to me before he was demoted." Commander Chen handed the letter to Cheng Jinghao and Zhao Zhigang.
The two of them took a look at the letter. They hoped that Commander Chen would not pursue the matter of He Yong taking bribes because He Yong was a comrade-in-arms and had sacrificed his life for the country.
"Why was the He family demoted?" Zhao Zhigang was puzzled. Grandpa He was in the military, but he was just like his family's grandfather.
"Someone must have set a trap for He Yong. The He family sacrificed an entire family in order to save He Yong." Cheng Jinghao said.
"What you mean is that someone in the Southern Military Region instigated He Yong to take bribes and then reported him." Zhao Zhigang looked at him.
"Then he still bribed people when he arrived in the southwest?" Zhao Zhigang didn't understand.
"What if He Yong didn't know that something happened to the He family, and his bribery in the south was useful?" Cheng Jinghao looked at him.
Commander Chen and Political Commissar Cao looked at the two men without making any comments.
"Put yourself in his shoes. If you were He Yong, you were the hope of the He family, and you were frustrated because your superior had become a spy. If someone reminded you that you could take bribes, what would you do?"
"I..." Zhao Zhigang had never encountered such a thing, he could not guarantee what he would do, but accepting bribes was a mistake.
"For the sake of the He family, I will not pursue the matter any further. However, if anyone finds out that He Yong is really a spy, I will definitely not tolerate him. And for a short period of time, He Yong cannot join the combat team."
This is the only concession Cheng Jinghao can make. "I will return everything to He Yong in the evening."
Commander Chen and Political Commissar Cao looked at each other and said, "Okay."
Cheng Jinghao didn't say anything else and left the office. Zhao Zhigang hurriedly chased after him.
"You obviously don't want to, why?" he asked.
Cheng Jinghao didn't say anything until he reached an open area, making sure no one could hear him.
"Because the He family is full of heroes, just like your family, there is only one old man left, a sole heir." Cheng Jinghao sighed.
"The fact that He Yong was demoted is already a fact, and it will not change just because we report He Yong. Mr. He is old, and it is unknown whether he can live to see the demotion."
"Besides, didn't you see that? Those two old foxes meant the same thing." Cheng Jinghao looked at him.
"I just think that one is one and two is two. Since I made a mistake, I should take responsibility. I don't think too much about it."
"Old Zhao, don't look up." Cheng Jinghao reminded.
"Is it Feng Qiang?" Zhao Zhigang took out a cigarette box, took out a cigarette and handed it to him, and they both lit up.
"How many times has this person looked at us? What does it mean?"
"This afternoon, my wife and I will come to your house for dinner." Cheng Jinghao said.
"What? Why are you suddenly coming to my house for dinner?" The topic was changed too quickly.
"What's wrong? You can't even afford a meal?" Cheng Jinghao glanced at him.
"Is your brother that kind of person?" Zhao Zhigang put his arm around his shoulders and the two walked back.
I happened to meet Xu Gang. I didn't talk to him, but secretly made a gesture to him, which was a unique gesture of the combat team.
Zhao Zhigang, who was standing next to him, was about to go over to greet him, but was stopped by Cheng Jinghao, "I'm hungry, let's talk later. Let's talk in the afternoon."
When they arrived at the door, "I'll go pick up my wife first." Cheng Jinghao said to Zhao Zhigang.
"Okay." He didn't close the gate. Anyway, the two of them would come over soon.
Not long after, Cheng Jinghao and Lin Momo arrived at Zhao's house, and he locked the gate of Zhao's courtyard.
After entering the main hall, Zhao Zhigang and Li He whispered, "Someone may come with the Military Commission in a while, so you two should stay calm."
"Then bring the things over here. I can't let you carry them by yourself." Zhao Zhigang said. Cheng Jinghao had already brought the things to him.
"I have put the things away. I guarantee that they will not be found even if you dig three feet into the ground." After taking the things over, Cheng Jinghao had already put them into the space together with his own copy.
"Are you sure?" Zhao Zhigang asked.
Li He also looked at Lin Momo worriedly, and the latter nodded to her affirmatively.
"Let's go cook." Lin Momo took her to the kitchen. She brought some food and vegetables.
After getting her confirming look, Li He asked in a low voice, "Really?"
"Really? Don't worry."
Sure enough, not long after, someone knocked on the door, Zhao Zhigang opened the door, and at the door stood Feng Qiang from the Military Commission, followed by Commander Chen and Political Commissar Cao.
Cheng Jinghao was following behind Zhao Zhigang. He gave the two of them a subtle look, indicating that they didn't need to worry.
The two who had originally decided to sacrifice the rook to save the king breathed a sigh of relief.
"Captain Cheng, Political Commissar Zhao, Deputy Brigade Commander Feng reported that you two had accepted bribes, so we came here to question you as usual." The people from the Military Commission glanced at Commander Chen and Political Commissar Cao.
These two are the favorite students of the two leaders of the military region. This job is really not easy.
"Don't look at us, just follow the rules." said Political Commissar Cao.
Several people entered the yard, and at this time Li He and Lin Momo came out of the kitchen.
"You guys should cook. Don't delay eating. We still have training in the afternoon." Cheng Jinghao said.
Li He and Lin Momo looked at each other and went back into the kitchen.
Zhao Zhigang entered the room and opened all the cabinets and places where things could be hidden.
"Check it, but please don't mess it up. My wife is too lazy to clean it up." Zhao Zhigang said.
"Don't worry, Political Commissar Cao." The people from the Military Commission nodded.
