Volume 3 Cannons Bombing His Mother Chapter 410 Whistleblowing
The Provincial Propaganda Department, which is a government department, has little power compared to other departments. Moreover, in the early years of the Republic of China, this department did not have any, and its job position was mainly the responsibility of the other departments. It was not until Fang Zida suggested to the original Prime Minister Song Jiaoren that Song Jiaoren felt that a country really needed a counterpart department that specifically controlled public opinion and propaganda, so he set up an extra-staff department in the State Council that is not a cabinet member, which is the current Propaganda Department.
As Song Jiaoren's confidant, Fang Zida was responsible for the organizational work within the KMT party at the time. After the establishment of the Propaganda Department, he gained its dominance without much effort. Later, according to the model of the Propaganda Department in later generations, he successively set up branches in various provinces and cities, and it took several years to set up the national propaganda shelves.
Compared with some rights departments, the propaganda department that is only aimed at publicity is not prominent among government agencies. It is neither fat nor has much real power. The main work on weekdays is just to deal with major newspapers and reporters. Outsiders seem to be purely a place to raise idle people. But no one knows that as early as the beginning of the Propaganda Department, Fang Zida instructed Zhou Yuanliang's secret agents to intervene in the Propaganda Department. Later, the secret agents dealt with the family. Zhou Yuanliang also kept a secret while handing over the intelligence agencies in various parts of the country and secretly concealed the Propaganda Department. So now some "special staff" of the Propaganda Department are public officials on the surface, but in fact they have another identity, that is, the people of the Intelligence Bureau.
Gong Shuge is such a person. His public identity is the officer of the Provincial Propaganda Department, but he is also a member of the Intelligence Bureau, and he is directly under Zhou Yuanliang, the former director of the Intelligence Bureau. Although Yang Yongtai is the current director, the personnel from the Publicity Department are still in the hands of Zhou Yuanliang. The identity of these people is confidential. And the number of people is small, so it is natural for Yang Yongtai to not pay attention.
After get off work this day, Gong Shuge was the last person to leave the office as usual. After locking the door, he went to a roast salmon shop near the provincial government to buy a bun of char siu, and then walked slowly towards his direction.
As soon as he got to the near home, Gong Shuge saw his 5-year-old son squatting on the ground with two little guys playing with mud. The three boys were like mud monkeys and shouting happily.
"Minger! What are you doing? Go home and wash and have supper. Look at what I brought?"
"Dad!" Little Nihou looked up when he heard the shout, and ran over with a giggle, afraid that he would fall Gong Shuge and help him.
"Bar Sweet! Huh... Let's eat bbq pork today!" The little monkey wrinkled his little nose and smelled the fragrance. He happily clapped and applauded.
"Hello uncle!" The two little guys who had just played with the little Nihou ran over and asked with a smile when they saw Gong Shuge.
"You... Dashi and Xiaoshi! Haha, look at your mud-looking appearance and my uncle almost didn't recognize you. Why are you here? Where are your parents?" After a closer look, Gong Shuge was immediately happy. Are these two kids from his brother-in-law's children? No wonder they thought they looked familiar before. They were the ones who had been making trouble for a long time.
"It's in the house!" Xiaoshi reached out and pointed at Gong Shuge's family.
"Let's go home together. Look at you like this, take a shower and change your clothes first." Pulling the three boys, Gong Shuge took them home and walked a few steps to the house. When he heard the noise in the room, his wife and sister-in-law came out and handed the char siu in his hand to his wife, asking her to take the children and the others to take a shower. When he entered the room, he saw his brother-in-law Zhao Shiru sitting in the room.
"Ag!"
"Aru, when did you come? Sit and smoke a cigarette..." He greeted Zhao Shiru with a smile, took out the cigarette and handed it over, and then took a breath on the fire that Zhao Shiru came over.
"I've been here for a while..." I lit it for myself and wiped out the matches in my hand. Zhao Shiru stretched out his neck and looked outside the house.
"Adi and the others took their children to take a shower."
"Oh, oh..." Zhao Shiru nodded, grabbed Gong Shuge to the corner and whispered: "Age, I'm here today because I have something to ask you."
"What are your relatives asking for? What? It's inconvenient to your hands? Tell me, how much do you want to borrow?" Seeing Zhao Shiru's mysterious appearance, Gong Shuge couldn't help but smile.
"It's not a loan." Zhao Shiru saw his misunderstanding and shook his head and said, "Actually, this is not mine, it's my uncle... no... it's my uncle's boss. Actually, I don't want to come, but my uncle asked someone to bring me a message and said he had to meet you, and he looked very anxious."
"Your uncle? Is your uncle the Chen family's uncle Zhong?"
"Yes!" Zhao Shiru nodded repeatedly.
Gong Shuge immediately understood. The boss Zhao Shiru mentioned should be the famous Chen family in Guang*zhou City, which is the current head of the Chen family. However, he had never had contact with Chen Lianbo. Even if he had only met Zhao Shiru's uncle Zhong, he had only met several times, and the two sides could not have any friendship. They were just distant relatives with relatively weak relationships. What was the matter if Zhao Shiru suddenly asked him for some reason? Gong Shuge knew that although he was a government official, he was just a small clerk in the Propaganda Department. In Guangzhou, no matter whether it was money or power, let alone Chen Lianbo, even Uncle Zhong spoke more than himself.
"Uncle Zhong is looking for me? What's the matter with me?"
Gong Shuge asked in surprise. Zhao Shiru shook his head and said he didn't know, but he told Gong Shuge that Uncle Zhong told him that he had to meet Gong Shuge today to bring the conversation, and he would definitely ask Gong Shuge to keep the matter confidential and never tell the third party.
Gong Shuge is not an ordinary person. His first feeling is that Uncle Zhong must have something big, and this matter is still small. Due to his special identity, Gong Shuge did not ask questions, but just pretended to be careless and agreed. Then, he talked about Zhao Shiru and asked indirectly. After confirming that the other party really didn't know anything, he couldn't help but think in his heart.
One day, the next morning, Gong Shuge went out early and went straight to the teahouse near Xiguan for tea. When he arrived at the place, he entered the private room as Zhao Shiru said. Not long after he sat down, the side door of the private room next door opened. An old man with a low figure and ordinary dress walked in through the side doors of the two private rooms.
"Uncle Zhong!" Gong Shuge knew this man. He was Uncle Zhong, the old man of the Chen family, and Zhao Shiru's uncle.
"Age, I'm so sorry to make you trouble." Uncle Zhong looked at the closed door first, then bowed to Gong Shuge with apology.
"Where are you talking about this? Everyone is a relative. Is it a problem to talk about? But Uncle Zhong, what are you doing today?" Gong Shuge pointed to the side door and asked with confusion.
"Oh... I'm an old man, there's no way to do that." Sitting down, poured himself a cup of tea, Uncle Zhong swayed his head and sighed, "I'm not hiding it from you, Age, my master is having a big deal, so I can only use this method to see you. There is one thing for the sake of relatives, so you have to help me!"
"A big deal? Are you talking about President Chen? This is impossible? President Chen is a well-known figure in our Guangzhou! What big deal can he encounter? Besides, I am just a small staff member of the Propaganda Department, so what can I do to President Chen? Whether President Chen is a foreigner or in the officialdom, he knows more people than me. I am afraid he is busy..."
He waved his hand and interrupted Gong Shuge's words. Uncle Zhong sighed: "You are right, but President Chen is not convenient for him to come forward in this matter, and he can't trust those outside. I remember Aru and I mentioned to me that you have classmates working in the State Council in Beijing, right?"
"Yes, but he is just a little shrimp..." Gong Shuge nodded, but explained.
"It doesn't matter how big or small it is, as long as there are people!" Uncle Zhong said: "I'm all my own people, so I just talked straight. My master has indeed encountered a big deal. If you want to talk about this, you have to start some time ago..."
Uncle Zhong told Gong Shuge all the things. Of course, in his account, Chen Lianbo was completely forced. Everything was Chen Gongshou's conspiracy. This ungrateful Chen Gongshou has now forced the entire Chen family to a desperate situation. The Chen family is definitely a good citizen who supports the government. However, the current situation is unclear. The Guangzhou government cannot guarantee that Chen Gongshou will not be able to see Chen Gongshou, so he can only save the country in a curve and ask Gong Shuge for help, and report the matter through his classmates in the capital.
With Uncle Zhong's statement, Gong Shuge's expression became more and more serious. He had learned a little about Chen Shaobai and others through the inside line, and various places including Guangzhou and Zhou had also made certain arrangements. However, he did not expect that things would develop to this point. Chen Shaobai and others actually colluded with Chen Gongshu, and they also tried to bring the Chen family, the business leader. If they were really turned into it, the previous correspondence of the Intelligence Bureau would probably have encountered great trouble.
"Ag!Ag!"
"Oh, I'm sorry, Uncle Zhong, your fact is too great, I was scared for a moment." Gong Shuge, who was a little obsessed with the idea, quickly explained to cover up his disobedience.
Uncle Zhong certainly understood the seriousness of this matter. No matter who heard this, he would be shocked. It is normal for Gong Shuge to have such a reaction.
"You Uncle Zhong can only ask you for help after thinking about this. I'm really embarrassed Age. You shouldn't have troubled you. It's not a good thing to get involved in this matter."
Gong Shuge smiled bitterly and said, "Is this a good thing? But Uncle Zhong, once this happens, the whole of Guangzhou will be a disaster! I am from Guangzhou and will be a member of the suffering at that time. How can I sit back and see? Besides, everyone is a relative, and I can't do anything that I don't save you. Let's do my best to contact my classmates, but I can't guarantee when the above will reply, so we have to make other arrangements in advance."
