Korean TV series: King of Peninsula 1997

Chapter 569 Deploy troops and generals
The rain in Seoul has been going on for four days now, and it has been falling continuously. It also started raining in Busan two days ago. Although it is a sparse drizzle, it has never stopped.

Jeon Jae-joon secretly rushed to Busan overnight that night.

Four black SUVs rolled over the puddles on the road and stopped in front of the hotel porch. The beams of light cast by the headlights were not affected at all by the light rain.

Before the car door opened, there was already a waiter waiting at the door to pick you up.

Quan Jae-jun, who was in the lead, held the black umbrella very low, and the friction between the ribs and the metal handle made a harsh sound.

Jeon Jae-joon, who has always been following Lee Woo, is also one of the top gangsters on the Korean Peninsula when he acts alone.

His leather shoes crushed his reflection in the water mirror, and men in black suits got out of the car behind him and followed him.

After entering the porch, dozens of umbrellas were folded at the same time in a shockingly orderly manner. The remaining rain on the umbrellas fell on the marble steps, and the SUV behind was driven into the parking lot.

There was already a waiter sent by Cui Yixian to lead the way at the hotel entrance.

As the last man in a black suit walked through the revolving door, isolating himself from the dampness outside, the observer behind the window of the low-rise building opposite put away his binoculars.

He pressed his intercom and passed the message to his subordinates' headsets, "Stay on standby here and report any news you have. I will talk to Representative Nim."

A figure wrapped in a transparent raincoat stood under the bus stop, looking like he was taking shelter from the rain. He silently pressed the microphone, and the rain that had been on him flowed down the folds of the plastic into thin streams, seeping into his already soaked canvas shoes.

There was a small restaurant on the first floor of the low building, with some signs written on the sign. The man with his back to the counter turned his head slightly, and from his angle he could clearly see two men in black suits shaking off the rain in the lobby.

"The soybean paste soup is here."

"Oh, thank you," the man thanked casually, and the tattoo under his shirt on his left hand was faintly visible as he took the plate.

In the hotel lobby, it had been raining for several days, so there were not many guests staying in the hotel, and even fewer people in the lobby, most of whom were service staff.

Even so, the men in black suits from Kinmen did not disturb others. They just followed the waiter's instructions and took the elevator upstairs.

After instructing the others to go back to the room to check, Jeon Jae-joon went to the hotel manager's office with two men in black suits.

"Representative Quan, I hope we can have a pleasant cooperation," Choi Ik-hyun came forward enthusiastically and shook hands with Quan Jae-jun with both hands.

"The president has given instructions, so you don't have to worry." Quan Zaijun nodded indifferently, "Even if I die, there will be others to complete the task."

Cui Yixian was sweating in his heart, thinking that the person in front of him was a lunatic.

The enthusiasm on his face remained undiminished as he smiled, “Everyone knows Jeon Jae-joon’s abilities, there’s no way he can fail.”

Jeon Jae-joon walked to the office window, which was blocked by tightly drawn curtains.

He parted the curtains a little and looked out at the streets of Busan that were still flooded.

"You've drawn such thick curtains, it seems you know what's going on."

"Yes," Cui Yixian sighed, "I also want to report what Zhang Daozhi did in the past, but in the underground world, literature can never suppress martial arts."

Compared to other cities besides Seoul, Busan is a very special place.

Busan, the second largest city, has two major gangs and a newly established hotel.

Although they are all under Li You's command, they each have their own aspirations.

This is also related to the special situation of the underground on the Korean Peninsula.

Other mafia and gangsters.
Most of them are bottom-up and ultimately loyal to a position and an organization.

These underground leaders on the Korean Peninsula are simply loyal to Lee You, not to the Kinmen Group, let alone to the position of chairman of the Kinmen Group.

It is not a bad thing to hold power. Ancient emperors also needed centralized power. But if the county magistrate reported directly to the emperor and had to rely on the emperor for everything, it would be a mess.

Li You is gradually changing these things, and the first thing he needs to do is to enforce strict internal rules.

He learned this from the Inagawa-kai. The Yakuza tradition is still quite useful. The idea of ​​respecting superiors and obeying their orders is very suitable for the Korean Peninsula.

Zhang Daozhi was a treacherous official who was a local parasite. He flattered Li You as much as he could, but ignored others and only cared about making money.

Choi Ik-hyun was the hotel manager appointed by Lee Woo in Busan, and could be considered the general manager of Busan.

But Zhang Daozhi, who controlled the gang, would not listen to him and would only cooperate when Li You gave the order personally. Cui Yixian's power was in name only.

Just like the local civil and military officials in ancient times, they respected the emperor but mostly fought among themselves.

Since Li You sent Jeon Jae-jun, he wanted to use Jang Do-sik to warn everyone.

Cui Yixian thought all of this through clearly, and he behaved very properly in front of Quan Zaijun, the 'imperial envoy'.

"The hotel security did find those people outside the hotel," Choi Ik-hyun sighed, "but they are all Jang Do-sik's men, so it's not appropriate to turn against them now, so we can't touch them."

Quan Zaijun glanced at the suspicious people, closed the gap in the curtains, and turned to look at Cui Yixian, "What do you want to do?"

Cui Yixian poured a cup of tea for Quan Zaijun and held it in front of him. "Representative Quan, you have been traveling for such a long time. Have a drink of water and take a rest. I will talk to you slowly."

Jeon Jae-joon really wanted to cut the Gordian knot. He would take a day off during the day and kill Jang Do-sik at night.

Hearing Cui Yixian say this, he frowned, then thought about Li You asking him to cooperate with Cui Yixian, then he nodded indifferently and sat down behind the tea table.

"How should I cooperate with you?"

It's the same question, but the meaning expressed is completely different.

"I have been working in Busan for 30 years," Choi Ik-hyun said calmly, "I have connections with officials in the media, the procuratorate, the police, and various departments of the city hall."

"Since we have President Li backing us up, although some incompatible relationships are bound to be separated, those who are willing to make friends have become closer."

Cui Yixian took a sip of tea and said, "There's no need to go around in circles when doing this, but it also can't be as direct as all the representatives think."

Cui Yixian was filtering tea in his hand and said slowly, "The first thing we have to do is not to target Zhang Daozhi, but to take action against the entertainment company and its boss Jin Chengxun."

"The media all over the world are a bunch of shameless people. What they care about most is what news the people like to read and what kind of news can sell," Choi Ik-hyun poured tea into Jeon Jae-joon's cup, then looked at Jeon Jae-joon helplessly as he drank it all in one gulp. "Kim Seung-hoon and the artists under him, as well as the sex trades he did, these are eye-catching things, who wouldn't like to watch them?"

"The first step is to take action against Kim Seung-hoon. The procuratorate will ask him and the artist about Jang Do-sik."

Quan Zaijun frowned, "Are you sure that handling this matter in this way will not involve Chairman Nim or the group?"

Choi Ik-hyun gave up on letting Jeon Jae-jun sip his tea. He leaned back on the sofa, patting the armrests with his hands. After a while, he sighed, "With Jeon in Busan, how could I possibly do anything that would be detrimental to Chairman Nim?"

He finally understood why Li You sent Quan Zaijun as an imperial envoy, but only asked Quan Zaijun to cooperate with him.

This full representative is indeed a guy without political acumen.

At this juncture, Zhang Daozhi is nothing but a guy who was killed by taking advantage of this incident.

Li You also privately told Choi Ik-hyun his true intention, which was to take advantage of Kim Seung-hoon's sexual transactions with officials to bring down Busan Mayor Jang Moon-woo.

This is the most important purpose.

If the term rotation is normal, it will probably take more than a year before the election campaign begins.

It would be better to take the lead and bring down Zhang Wenyu, who has a dirty bottom.

Normally, when the current mayor steps down, an acting mayor will be elected. Mayor Jiang of Jeju City was about to step down anyway, so this Jeju City mayor with outstanding political achievements will be transferred to serve as the acting mayor, and Jeju City will just need to find another acting mayor.

Li You is still able to do this kind of job transfer.

But the premise of all this is that the current Busan Mayor Zhang Wenyu stepped down first. Of course, killing Zhang Daozhi is also important to set rules for the local underground forces on the Korean Peninsula.

However, even if there was no Zhang Daozhi, the overthrow of Zhang Wenyu was still necessary.

After all, when Li You heard the name of that artist, he already knew the sensation that this case would cause.

Even though she isn't dead yet, that's not important. What's important is whether any artist died before that, and the evidence they can produce, and the accusations against Kim Seung-hoon and Mayor Jang Moon-woo.

Quan Jae-jun narrowed his eyes. He couldn't actually tell Choi Ik-hyun's attitude from his words, but he always felt that this old fox looked down on him.

Looking at Jeon Jae-jun with narrowed eyes, thinking that he was only good at dancing, but he was still needed to intimidate and kill people, Choi Ik-hyun said with a smile, "This matter had to be done anyway. It would be great if we could turn it into a blessing in disguise. Not only can we eliminate the hidden danger of Jang Do-sik, but we can also do more for the chairman."

Quan Zaijun paused and frowned.

On his way to Busan, he was thinking about killing everyone, and his only thought was to kill Zhang Daozhi who was digging out the roots of Kinmen Group first.

But now it seems that this cannot be done in a short time.

Once a slippery guy like Cui Yixian takes action, he will definitely get involved in more things. Once this old guy takes action, the first thing he thinks about is how to turn a bad thing into a good thing.

Quan Zaijun knew that compared to these people, he was indeed not good at these things, so he simply nodded and said, "As long as it does not interfere with the president's business, I can cooperate with you in whatever you want to do."

"Since the first step is to expose Kim Seung-hoon's affairs and involve Mayor Jang Wen-woo, I think we need to be prepared first," Jeon Jae-jun narrowed his eyes, "Why not call Jang Do-sik and Song Rina over and let them discuss and send some people?"

Cui Yixian raised his eyebrows and looked at Quan Zaijun in surprise, "This is not bad, but Zhang Daozhi has begun to be cautious."

"Just tell them that the president wants us to remove the mayor," Quan Zaijun said coldly, "If you don't obey the president's orders..."

"die."

"Okay," Cui Yixian nodded, "Let's do it."

"Let's greet the media first today," Cui Yixian said frankly, "I will send someone to invite Song Ruina and Zhang Daozhi tonight. After we are well prepared, I will gather people from the procuratorate and the court tomorrow to discuss the layout."

Quan Zaijun stood up and did not stay.

"We've been traveling all night," Quan Zaijun twisted his neck tiredly, "It's slippery in the rain, call me when they get here."

"All the delegates can go and have a rest."

After Quan Jae-joon returned to his room, he did not rest immediately. Instead, he told Li You all his conversations with Choi Ik-hyun through video conference.

Li You closed his eyes and leaned back on the sofa, while Li Xuexi massaged his shoulders from behind.

He thought for a while before speaking calmly, "We can do this. You have made a good arrangement."

"I will inform the main camp that the position of Busan mayor will be considered as a deposit."

Quan Jae-jun nodded with relief and asked Li You to hang up the phone and take some time to rest.

That afternoon, Zhang Daozhi received the news in the nightclub which had not yet opened.

"Ask me and Song Ruina to come over."

Zhang Daozhi frowned tightly, "Are you going to take action against Mayor Zhang Wenyu?"

Thinking of what happened in the morning when his secretary Jiang Yunzai monitored Jeon Jaejoon coming to the Busan hotel, Zhang Daozhi felt a little uneasy, but he still relaxed.

In order to assist the politicians from the Kinmen Group in their fight for the position of mayor, this matter had already been arranged, and now that the time had come, it was only right to send someone.

But who will be in charge of this operation?
What other methods will be used to bring Zhang Wenyu down?

Zhang Daozhi was a little worried. He frowned and took a big sip of wine.

"Are we going to do it in the next two days?"

Zhu Mengyong was stunned on the other end of the phone, "So fast?"

"Have you found evidence of Zhang Wenyu? We cannot harm the camp."

Of course, Zhang Wenyu has a dirty hand. He has a vested interest in the relationship with Daying Group, but this will drag Daying into the water as well. Li You also agreed with Zhu Mengyong during a detailed discussion that these things would not be necessary.

Li You just said calmly, "I have ordered them to avoid all matters involving the Daying Group, so President Zhu can rest assured."

"Okay," Zhu Mengyong gritted his teeth, "but if I notify them in advance, someone might tip off Zhang Wenyu."

"When we start," Li You said indifferently, "just hold the ropes around the necks of those guys from Busan and don't let them act rashly."

"it is good."

Having said that, Zhu Mengyong was actually quite unwilling to accept it.

Even if Zhu Mengyong was unwilling to do it, he still had to do it since the other party had proposed it in an upright manner.

"Brother," Zhu Mengzhun clenched his fist, "Li You is so eager to become the mayor of Busan? Why?"

"If he does this, lawmakers on the Korean Peninsula will only become more vigilant."

Zhu Mengyong sighed, "Li You simply looks down on those politicians. It's not that he doesn't know that those politicians are wary of him, but he doesn't think it's a big deal."

"To him, those politicians are like dogs," Do you know what's the most shocking thing?

Zhu Mengyong's face had several deeper wrinkles. "That is, although politicians resist him and fear that he will manipulate the political arena for a long time, everyone subconsciously makes trouble for him in secret, and no one singles him out, like those loyal ministers in ancient times, pointing fingers at Li You and scolding him."

"Because they will really die," Zhu Mengyong grinned, "the two lives are completely unequal."

"If we could use the life of a congressman to bring down Li You, maybe there would have been a scapegoat who would have been pushed to the front and died."

"But the problem is that one life is not enough," Zhu Mengyong patted Zhu Mengzhun on the shoulder, "You are also a member of Congress, you also know..."

"If Li You wanted to do it, he could drag everyone down with him before he died."

"Let everyone be buried with him."

As a member of Congress himself, Zhu Mengzhun certainly knows this.

Even among the close friends in their party, some have discussed what to do.

For example, there is a more shocking idea
A martial law order was issued, and troops were sent in to forcibly arrest and then try Li You.

The idea was just said and then rejected without anyone else even hesitating for a second.

The first point is that martial law needs to be initiated by the president and then voted on by members of Congress.

Convincing the great commander Li Lianchang, a die-hard Li You faction? This is truly a genius idea.

Secondly,
They are also afraid that another ambitious person will emerge in the army.

The cooperation between the army and Kinmen security had already made them a little panicked. It was because they were afraid that Li You would continue to extend his claws to the army that they secretly put pressure on the military command through Congress and transferred Yin Jijun, who had returned to the country, to the position of a staff officer without actual military power.

If they take advantage of this opportunity and produce another third-generation Kaka, they will really become sinners of the Republic of Korea.

Zhu Mengzhun thought about it for a long time, but had no idea how to do it, and his headache got worse.
