The Anti-Japanese War Begins with the Northeast Army

Chapter 335: Stabilizing People's Hearts

His father-in-law said it was "experience", but Jiang Cheng was not stupid.

You have to know that Zhang Xuecheng and I went to Beijing for a blind date, and Hai Pingchuan snatched Cao Shiying away for nothing... The marshal's beloved nephew was devastated.

Later, I heard from Machino that in order to help him get back on his feet, Shuai Ye contacted the Infantry School in Japan and allowed him to go for further studies.

And fearing that he would be bored and depressed, the Marshal also picked a few young people, such as his father-in-law's two sons, Zhang Jinghui's son, and his distant cousin...

Anyway, they are all young men with similar backgrounds and ages.

"Zhang Tingshu's arrival is like sending a spy to Jilin."

Cai Yuanming thought for a moment, "It seems that this commander still doesn't trust us."

Jiang Cheng shook his head and smiled: "If there is really no trust, there will be no marriage - how can the 50 yuan be received so easily?"

"Ever since the Xu Shuzheng incident, the commander-in-chief has repeatedly prohibited the use of military funds for other purposes... Now that the money has arrived, he must have nodded in acquiescence."

Seeing Cai Yuanming opening his mouth to say something, Jiang Cheng waved his hand and said, "But what you said is not wrong, second brother. When Zhang Tingshu arrives in Jilin, we still have to be careful."

With Feng Delin and Yang Yuting as examples, the Marshal will definitely have a few people around him: both overt and covert...

But Zhang Tingshu is still relatively good, at least he is one of us. What we are afraid of are some hidden villains, which would be a real problem.

Just as the topic turned to this, Hai Pingchuan walked in with Cao Shiying, smiling.

As the New Year was approaching, the woman missed her husband so much that she ran to Changchun with her close bodyguards.

"Xiaoying's face is red from the cold. Hurry up and ask someone to bring some hot soup or hot water."

Jiang Cheng didn't say anything, but Hai Pingchuan smiled bitterly: "I say Fei Lan, look how irritating this girl is——"

"Changchun is in chaos, but she insisted on coming at this time! What if something really happens?"

Cao Shiying took off his gloves and rubbed his hands and face, then walked to the brazier to warm himself: "It's almost New Year's Day, and you don't even know where to go... Siping is in a mess."

"Sister Cai is always unhappy, and Sister Xue has been sick since she got pregnant - I don't even have anyone to go shopping with, so I might as well come to find you, Pingchuan!"

But as soon as he finished speaking, Cao Shiying tilted his head and smiled at Jiang Cheng, saying, "Brother Feilan, you are quite amazing... I have heard a lot about you along the way."

"It is said that there is a young general named Jiang in our Fengtian Army. He is handsome and capable! He drove away old man Meng in no time at all, haha..."

Jiang Cheng waved his hand and smiled, and Cai Yuanming was also happy: "Okay, stop praising him, warm up later, and let Pingchuan accompany you well. Just let me take care of his recent affairs."

Jiang Cheng glanced at him and said nothing, but Hai Pingchuan took over and thanked him first, then said: "By the way, Feilan, many people came from the Governor's Mansion and said they wanted to see you."

"I saw that they were all well-known people, so I didn't turn them down or refuse them. Old Sun said that these people were wealthy businessmen in the city and had been here once before."

Jiang Cheng uttered a “hmm”.

He didn't want to, and couldn't, tell the truth in front of Cao Shiying.

He gave Cai Yuanming a wink, and the second thief immediately understood and called two maids to take Cao Shiying back to rest first.

Originally, the capital of Jilin was not in Changchun, but in Jilin Prefecture.

The temporary governor's office was located in the main hall of the Changchun government office, and he had been working in Gao Shibin's western-style house these days.

Of course, in addition to considering the good conditions, Jiang Cheng also wanted to avoid those wealthy businessmen.

Collusion between officials and businessmen was common in the Republic of China, and it was the lower-class people who were exploited - now that they have driven Gao Shibin away, these wealthy people will definitely change their attitude according to the situation.

"I have asked Old Sun to investigate the matter at the Governor's Mansion."

Jiang Cheng looked back at the two confidants calmly, "Before we figure out the situation, we can't deal with these people... and the war has just ended, so it's not a good idea to start a war again."

"When the Marshal first came to Fengtian, he put so much effort into calming people's hearts and building relationships - that's how he became the King of Northeast China today. We can't rush things."

But just as he said this, the careful Jiang Cheng suddenly noticed that Cai Yuanming had a strange expression.

"What's the matter with you?"

As soon as Hai Pingchuan asked, Jiang Cheng leaned back a little and looked back at him with a cold face for a few seconds, which made the thief feel creepy: "Why are you two coming for me?"

"Hey, I didn't do anything!"

As he said this, his eyes flickered and he wanted to hide. Jiang Cheng was more certain of his thoughts: "Did you take their money?!"

Hai Pingchuan opened his mouth wide, but Cai Yuanming simply pretended to be dead. Jiang Cheng let out a long breath and glared at him, "Tell me, how much did you take?"

Cai Yuanming said bitterly: "Fuck you... Hey! Really, really I can't hide anything from you - it's not much, just this number."

As he spoke, he gestured a number to Jiang Cheng, scratched his head and said, "They all said it was a gift of filial piety - and they also sent two women over! Hey, don't look at me, I really don't want women. You two also know that my brother is arranging a marriage for my hometown. I am here,"

Before he finished speaking, Jiang Cheng slammed the table and stood up angrily: "Damn it! I have said it before, we can't be Li Zicheng when we come to the city. After accepting these tributes, we can't be grateful for what we have received..."

Cai Yuanming was also furious when facing his anger. He took a step forward and said, "Jiang Feilan, we should speak with some conscience——"

"If you were to talk about the past, weren't you relying on the Cai family to start the rebellion? Daping Village is your root!"

"If Xiaojuan hadn't protected you, if my brother and I hadn't backed you up, would you be where you are today?"

Seeing that both of them blushed, Hai Pingchuan quickly stepped forward to persuade them: "I said we are all brothers, why are you quarreling? Don't be estranged!"

It was meant to be consolation, but Cai Yuanming became even more furious after hearing it: "Why are you pretending to be a good person? Before your sister got married, she was flirting with you--"

"Wouldn't your Hai family still get more benefits later? How should we divide it?"

"Xiaojuan is such a person, how can she speak up for any injustice she has suffered? I have already received 10,000 yuan, but she is still making a fuss over such a small matter. What does she want to do?"

Hearing his voice getting higher and higher, Jiang Cheng sneered coldly and stared at him with his eyes: "I, Jiang Cheng, don't want to do anything - why don't you tell me what you want to do?"

"Are you trying to vent your anger on your sister... because I didn't let her become the first wife? Or are you angry that I gave all my money and power to the Hai family instead of giving any subsidies to Dapingzhuang?"

His words came one after another, and his voice became more and more intrusive, like an interrogation.

On the contrary, Cai Yuanming looked timid, but he quickly pretended to be justified: "I - don't want to do anything!"

"That's right, I just think it's not fair!"
