Yu Zecheng and Zuo Lan carefully planned for Lu Qiaoshan to arrest Ma Kui, who was suspected of collaborating with the Communist Party, and Wu Jingzhong immediately sent people to search Ma Kui's home. During the search, they found a letter that Zuo Lan had handed to Ma Kui. On the back of this letter, a string of code words was written with a special potion: "Emei Peak: The Buddha shrine has been arrested, and the exchange plan with Qiu remains unchanged." Peace be upon you! ”。
Stationmaster Wu only raised his eyebrows slightly, because he was keenly aware that the intention of planting the blame was too obvious. This string of code words can obviously be conveyed at the time of meeting, but it is necessary to use secret letters, which seems to be redundant, and even adds some snakes, as if it is deliberately done in order to leave evidence.
At this time, Lu Qiaoshan displayed a painting found from Ma Kui's house, which was inscribed with two lines of Chang Kaishen's poem: "The snow-capped mountains are cold for eternity, and they shine alone on Emei Peak." Stationmaster Wu commented with a smile: "Emei Peak, still take a solo photo!" As soon as these words came out, they implied a deep meaning. At this time, Ma Kui, in their eyes, basically has no chance of survival.
The focus of Stationmaster Wu's sentence is not actually in the three words "Emeifeng", but in the word "Duzhao". These two words seem to imply some unspoken secret.
Ma Kui's escape and subsequent revenge, Zuo Lan's sacrifice, in fact, as long as you analyze it a little, you will find that there are many suspicious points. If the spies look closely, they will find that Zuo Lan and Ma Kui shot at each other at that time and died together, so Ma Kui could not be Emeifeng. But Stationmaster Wu and his men believed it.
The reason lies in the word "single photo" that Stationmaster Wu said before. The information and truth behind these two words are probably only known to Stationmaster Wu. For others, the mystery may never be solved. It turned out that the webmaster was the one who leaked the secret, which was a big incident.
Wu Jingzhong, the stationmaster, is a veteran of officialdom and uses his power to seek benefits for himself. He took the opportunity to convict the traitor Mu Lian and secretly took the winery and countless precious antiques. Of course, this kind of thing can't be made public, if it is known from above, Wu Jingzhong's life will not be easy.
However, Ma Kui is a person who loves to find trouble. He secretly investigated this matter in private, and even told Yu Zecheng about it. Yu Zecheng deliberately misled him: "Old Ma, don't talk nonsense, how can the stationmaster leak secrets?" As a result, Ma Kui was really fooled and said more things: "Mu Lian gave the winery to the stationmaster....And the day after the list was announced, Mulian disappeared. ”
Originally, it was very dangerous to investigate his boss, but Ma Kui also told his colleagues who had conflicts with him, which was really self-defeating. But he thought he had discovered some big secret, so he continued to dig deeper. When the stationmaster went to Nanjing to hold a funeral for Dai Li, he stole the key and found top-secret documents in the stationmaster's office. There are messages from the "Buddha shrine" lurking in Yan'an, as well as information from the stationmaster's investigation of Yu Zecheng and Zuo Lan. All this happened to be discovered by Yu Zecheng. Ma Kui had no choice but to reveal his identity: "I was secretly sent by the headquarters inspection office. And took out the message to Yu Zecheng to see.
It was this telegram that made Yu Zecheng come up with a plan to kill two birds with one stone, rescue the shopkeeper Qiu and get rid of Ma Kui. At the same time, the ** of the message also became evidence of Ma Quei's communism. Of course, Wu Jingzhong understands that Ma Kui cannot be an underground party, let alone the mysterious Emei Peak. But he can't tolerate Maqui investigating his own affairs on his own turf.
In addition, the loss of Mao Renfeng's protection also made Ma Kui's situation even more dangerous. Wu Jingzhong said to Mao Renfeng in **: "Director Mao, Ma Kui has followed you, I don't know how to deal with it." "The inspectorate asked us to send Ma Kui back to Nanjing, which is quite a tricky matter, and. After hanging up the **, Wu Jingzhong's mood was obviously much lighter, Mao Renfeng's meaning was already very clear, and he decided to give up Ma Kui.
So, Lu Qiaoshan began to plan a plan, with the goal of causing accidents to happen to Ma Kui on the way to escort. Seeing this, everyone may have a question, that is, Ma Kui once worked for Mao Renfeng, why was he treated like this in the end?
Later, when Lu Qiaoshan was in trouble, Zheng Jiemin not only came to the rescue, but also gave him a chance to turn over. This can't help but remind people that when Ma Kui assassinated the underground party Lu Zongfang before, he was captured by Li Haifeng, a pseudo-agent of Wang. Maqui soon betrayed. But then Ma Kui returned to the military command, which shows that there must have been some unknown transactions behind it.
I guess that Mao Renfeng knew about Ma Kui's defection to the enemy, but in order to protect himself, he helped cover up the matter. This already made him feel very uncomfortable in his heart. He didn't expect that this time Ma Kui would be stupid enough to publicly investigate his immediate boss. What if Ma Kui shakes out his old bottom next time? So as soon as this incident came out, Mao Renfeng just took this opportunity to eradicate him.
As for Stationmaster Wu's desire to get rid of Ma Kui, he would definitely not personally plan this matter. Fortunately, he has two powerful subordinates: Lu Qiaoshan and Yu Zecheng. So what kind of entanglement does this two have with Ma Kui?
There seems to be an unknown past between Ma Kui and Yu Zecheng. When Ma Kui first met Yu Zecheng, he became hostile to him. This can be traced back to an experience during the Anti-Japanese War. Yu Zecheng and Lu Zongfang, who were in the military command at that time, were assigned by Dai Li to break into Wang Puppet ** and wait for an opportunity to get rid of the traitor Li Haifeng.
And Ma Kui was ordered to kill Lu Zongfang, an undercover underground party agent. In the course of the battle, Li Haifeng set up an ambush and captured Ma Kui. Under severe torture, Ma Kui confessed in full. And Yu Zecheng, who was lurking in Wang Pseudo** at that time, happened to be the recorder of this case. When Ma Kui saw Yu Zecheng for the first time, he may have recognized him.
Because Yu Zecheng knew about his apostasy, which made him worry all the time. Then my future will be completely ruined. Therefore, I had to adopt an offensive defensive strategy. I am convinced that as long as the relationship between Yu and Lu is exposed, and Lao Yu is suspected of being a communist, my problem will be solved.
Therefore, in our meeting, I kept testing Lu Zongfang's affairs, Yu Zecheng avoided the topic at first, and in the end, he came up with a killer idea. "I heard that it was the military commander who killed Lu Zongfang, and he was caught by Li Haifeng, the details of these things were recorded at that time, if you need it, I can help get it for you. ”。I immediately felt weak and answered that I didn't have to.
Of course, I have not relaxed my investigation of Yu Zecheng, but in the process, I have also made many mistakes. Therefore, Yu Zecheng decided to design to eradicate this hidden danger of me.
In order to compete for the position of deputy stationmaster, I had a grudge against Lu Qiaoshan. At that time, the position of deputy stationmaster of Tianjin Station was vacant, and Lu Qiaoshan and I were the most qualified to fill this vacancy. I am very confident that I can win this position, and I often remind new colleagues. Lao Yu always comforted me: "Don't worry, you are a lieutenant, I am just a second lieutenant, you are more qualified to be this deputy station commander." Hearing this, I was secretly proud in my heart, so I turned my attention to another qualified candidate, Lu Qiaoshan.
I worked very hard at work, and succeeded in capturing the important figure of the underground party, the Qiu shopkeeper, and destroying a traffic liaison station. This made Lu Qiaoshan feel very displeased.
However, under the arrangement of Lao Yu and Zuo Lan, Lu Qiaoshan accidentally discovered that I was secretly meeting with Zuo Lan, a representative of the Eighth Route Army, in a teahouse. He wrote down the time, place, and details of the letters we exchanged. He thought it was a good opportunity to get rid of my competitor. Soon after, the Buddhist shrine lurking in our side was revealed, and the superiors were outraged. Lu Qiaoshan took the opportunity to report the matter to Wu Jingzhong. When analyzing the intelligence, he deliberately linked me to Emeifeng.
At this time, Yu Zecheng also revealed that I was secretly investigating Wu Jingzhong. During the interrogation, Lu Qiaoshan asked me two key questions: "How was the Buddhist shrine exposed?" and "Are you Emeifeng?" ”。These problems hit me fatally.
How did Ma Kui, the representative of the Eighth Route Army, leak the information? This mystery, like a layer of fog, hangs over everyone's mind. At this time, Ma Kui was still ignorant, and he shirked and said: "If you ask me about these things, who should I ask?" Go find Mu Liancheng, and also, bring the stationmaster, I have something to talk to him. ”
Lu Qiaoshan suddenly mentioned his secret meeting with Zuo Lan, Ma Kui panicked, and his words were at a loss: "I have doubts about some people, and I am worried that if I tell you today, I will know all about it tomorrow." Wu Jingzhong listened next door, smiled bitterly, and said in his heart: This Ma Kui actually involved me. The operation of the two "close colleagues" undoubtedly drove Ma Kui to a dead end.
Let's talk about the backyard of Ma Kui's house**. There has long been an improper relationship between his wife and Secretary Wang. Mrs. Ma, the delicate Shanghai lady, is undoubtedly the most outstanding among the wives of the Secret Bureau. However, the relationship between her and Ma Kui is one of inseparability. Therefore, when Ma Kui**, Mrs. Ma came to the station to plead with Yu Zecheng, only hoping to escort him to Chongqing. However, perhaps unintentionally, her words reminded others that Ma Kui must not be allowed to return to Chongqing alive.
Mrs. Ma didn't really care about Ma Kui's life and death. In the ups and downs between her and Secretary Hong, what is Ma Kui's suffering in prison? Of course, Secretary Hong is also afraid of Ma Kui. He knew that Ma Kui was ruthless, and once the matter between himself and Mrs. Ma was exposed, Ma Kui would never let him go.
Therefore, when Ma Kui asked him to drink and chat, he was naturally cautious and engrossed. Moreover, how could he, as the man in charge of the secrets, be so easily drunk and have the keys stolen without realizing it? I suspect that this may have been done on the part of Secretary Hong.
In the end, Secretary Hong gave Ma Kui a fatal blow: it was confirmed that he stole the key and peeked at confidential documents in the stationmaster's office, which completely confirmed the evidence of his private investigation of his boss and leaking secrets. At this point, the clues provided by Lu Qiaoshan, Yu Zecheng and Secretary Hong formed an unassailable chain of evidence, which made Ma Kui unable to refute at all. And his former backer, Mao Renfeng, and his current boss Wu Jingzhong can no longer tolerate him.
At the end of this story, we can't help but ask: in the maelstrom of power, everyone is a pawn. And when the chess pieces become outcasts, how do they survive? This is perhaps the biggest lesson this story can give us. "Duzhao" means "self-care", symbolizing loneliness and helplessness. In such a selfish world, everyone carefully calculates for their own benefit, only hoping that the other will disappear. Therefore, Ma Kui's fate seems to have been predestined for a long time, and he will inevitably go to death.
Some netizens commented that in "Latent", only Ma Kui and Li Ya are really dedicated to their careers. However, Ma Kui prematurely fell victim to his companions. This only shows that his understanding of human nature is too shallow. He just blindly sticks to his own path, but ignores the risks around him, and ends up accidentally falling into the trap set by others.
Ma Kui's departure made Stationmaster Wu, Lao Yu, Lao Lu, Mrs. Ma and others smile with their own ghosts. They laughed at his stupidity, or felt relieved that the troubles were gone, or rejoiced in the victory over his opponents, or rejoiced in the peace that came to come.
But most importantly, this story reveals a profound truth to us: not understanding human nature can really lead to terrible results.
