Rebirth of the Forbidden City: The Troublemaker in the Courtyard

Chapter 440: Smoothing Relationships

Although Feng Sanyuan and the others came here only after receiving Ning Yuan's instructions.

But this situation is all too common in the city at this time of year.

Moreover, their family itself has already been classified, and Feng Sanyuan and his men's actions are reasonable and legal, and no one can say that they are wrong.

However, Ning Yuan no longer has to worry about these things.

He doesn't need to worry about these things anymore. How could he not understand the methods of Feng Sanyuan and his buddies?

After enduring more than two days on the slow green train with Fatty Fan and Meng Qing, they finally returned to the place they were familiar with.

The dilapidated train station in this small county town still looks the same, but the only difference from the first time they came is the staff on duty at the train station.

Annan County is originally a small station. Unless it is the time for sending educated youth to the countryside, there are almost no people getting on or off the train here on weekdays.

So, when Ning Yuan, Fatty Fan and Meng Qing got off the train, several on-duty personnel saw them and quickly surrounded them.

After seeing the large and small bags piled at the feet of the three of them, he took them up without any hesitation.

They still remember clearly how these ancestors dealt with them ten months ago!

In addition, they received instructions from Minister Zhang Desheng and Secretary Fan the day before yesterday. How could they dare to neglect these gentlemen?

After assigning three people to help Ning Yuan and his friends deliver their luggage to the county, Ning Yuan let them go back.

There are already many brothers from the county waiting here.

Zou Cheng, along with Tian Erliang, Hu Lianwang and several other brothers, were already waiting at the Armed Forces Department.

Now they can come here quite freely, after all, they have the relationship with Zhang Desheng and Uncle Zhang, and they are all family.

Ning Yuan did not hesitate and took out some local specialties of pastries and snacks from the packages, as well as Uncle Zhang and his friends' favorite Erguotou, and handed them to Zhang Desheng.

Ning Yuan gave the rest of the food and drinks to Zou Cheng and the others, except for leaving some for Uncle Fan Lei.

There's no need to guess, these bastards can't resist the temptation of such good stuff.

After asking Fatty Fan to leave some for the brothers and sisters in Fang Village, Zou Cheng took his buddies Hu Lianwang, Tian Erliang and others to share the rest with the militia brothers from the armed forces.

Ning Yuan brought Meng Qing and Zhang Desheng into his office.

Before he even sat down, Zhang Desheng couldn't help but start complaining about Ning Yuan.

"Your father wrote to me. You really make me worry!"

Although Zhang Desheng's tone was somewhat complaining, judging from his expression, he didn't seem to be blaming anyone.

Ning Yuan had no way to respond. Even though Uncle Zhang had already found out that he was the one who killed the boy named Zhu, even though he knew that Uncle Zhang would never betray him, he couldn't say it out loud.

Some things are better if you, I and everyone understands them. If you say them out loud, it will easily give people a chance to criticize you.

So Ning Yuan just shook his head and laughed.

"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. Looking at your appearance, what else do you want me and Lao Fan to do for you?"

Zhang Desheng smiled helplessly as he saw Ning Yuan refusing to respond, but he also understood Ning Yuan quite well.

Just now, I secretly gestured to him outside, asking him to find a place to talk, and then brought Ning Yuan and Meng Qing in.

"Uncle Zhang, I still need a pass to the south!"

Seeing that Uncle Zhang didn't want to delve into the matter of Sijiu City any further, Ning Yuan quickly told him his own story.

"South? Specifically, where?"

Zhang Desheng was a little surprised when he heard that the place Ning Yuan was talking about was the south.

"In Guangzhou, besides the travel permit, I also need Uncle Zhang and Uncle Fan to introduce me to a few uncles I can trust!"

Ning Yuan was not polite to Zhang Desheng. Not to mention that they were inseparable from the root, Fan Lei's promotion to the position was inseparable from Ning Yuan's efforts.

Therefore, there is nothing that cannot be said or discussed, as we have already become a community of interests.

Sure enough, after hearing Ning Yuan's words, Zhang Desheng first looked at Ning Yuan with suspicion, and then nodded directly.

But after reacting, Zhang Desheng asked Ning Yuan again in confusion.

"Wait, old battalion commander, uh, hasn't your father already been released? If it's somewhere else, I'm not sure if he can make a name for himself, but in that shabby place of Guangzhou, our old troops are all stationed there. It shouldn't be difficult to find someone there, right?"

To be honest, Guangzhou at that time was really a "broken place", full of chaotic docks, fenced-off rivers, and dirty and messy villages.

That is to say, its strategic significance is more prominent, which is why a lot of advance troops are stationed there.

Ning Wanli's previous army had two main divisions stationed there.

Therefore, Zhang Desheng was a little confused. His father could obviously just give a greeting, so why bother with this extra effort?

Ning Yuan smiled and explained to his uncle.

"Uncle Zhang, my dad did introduce a few people to me, but I think the people you two introduced to me are all your and Uncle Fan's comrades-in-arms!"

"And my dad introduced me, but he did so in the name of his old superior. You can understand that with different positions, how can we have the same attitude? He has people above him giving him hello, and his brothers below him using their connections. No matter what, he has to do his best, right?"

Zhang Desheng was slightly stunned by Ning Yuan's words, then shook his head and pointed at Ning Yuan and scolded him with a smile.

"You're such a cunning fellow, but what you said does make some sense. So, I'll call those old comrades in advance to check in. I haven't been in touch with many of them for a long time, and I don't know what units they've transferred to recently!"

Ning Yuan naturally wanted it very much, so he immediately agreed and began to urge Uncle Zhang to make a call.

Zhang Desheng took out a phone book from under his desk, picked up the phone, and started looking up the numbers on it and dialing.

Although Meng Qing didn't say anything after entering the office, the matter that Ning Yuan was so anxious about must be very important.

So she looked at Zhang Desheng with an anxious look on her face.

The phone rang several times before the other end picked up the phone.

When Zhang Desheng heard someone pick up the phone, he quickly spoke up to say hello.

"Hey, hey! Is that the Guangzhou Coastal Patrol Bureau? Oh, yes, I'm looking for Huang Guiyang! Oh, your deputy director, um, that should be your deputy director. Tell him that Zhang Desheng is looking for him!"
