During the Anti-Japanese War, the landlord's stupid son defied fate

When Mr. Zhao saw his son coming, a relieved smile appeared on his face and he waved for him to come over.

When Zhao Gang arrived, Master Zhao smiled and said to him, "Son, now that you're here, come and meet the two county officials."

Then Mr. Zhao pointed to the two guests sitting next to him and introduced them to Zhao Gang: "This is Director Wang of the police station, and this is Captain Li of the security team."

Zhao Gang looked at the two people in front of him. Since they were not wearing uniforms, he could not tell their identities for a moment.

He stood up, saluted the two men, and greeted them politely, "Hello, Director Wang, hello, Captain Li."

Director Wang laughed sarcastically upon seeing this, and praised, "Haha, great! I heard that not only did you recover, but you also successfully eliminated the renegade Wang Mazi. You're truly amazing!"

Captain Li echoed, "Yeah, that's a team of 800 people. If my security team wants to fight them, I'm afraid it will cost us a lot. I didn't expect you to be able to defeat them. You're really something!"

When he spoke, he directly pointed out that Wang Mazi's number of people was as many as 800, and it was obvious that he was very familiar with Wang Mazi's situation.

"It's not that I'm good, it's that the people I found are good. They are all soldiers who have participated in battles. It is naturally easy for them to deal with the bandit Wang Mazi." After Zhao Gang finished speaking, he looked at the butterfly on the stage.

The two were very surprised. They didn't expect that this silly young master would become so extraordinary after he recovered.

They looked at each other and then continued chatting with Mr. Zhao.

As time passed, the opera had been going on for almost an hour and the dinner was almost over.

The butterfly girl had already gone down to rest, and other people were singing on the stage.

Zhao Gang felt that it was boring, so he left quietly.

In fact, his father and the two guests had already left and returned to the living room to start negotiations.

"Mr. Zhao, according to the rules, the incident at your family this time can be serious or minor! Hiding firearms privately, and a powerful weapon like a heavy machine gun, is a serious violation of the regulations!" Captain Li said seriously.

"Yes, Brother Zhao, you didn't handle this matter very well. If other people with ulterior motives find out, it will definitely cause big trouble. Although you landlords have the right to own self-defense weapons, weapons like submachine guns and heavy machine guns are really too much and are absolutely not allowed to be privately owned." Director Wang also frowned and echoed.

"Also, regarding the matter of your son's men eliminating the deserted bandit Wang Mazi, all the seized firearms should have been turned in. After all, these were purchased by the county with the purpose of distributing them to the security corps to protect local security and maintain social stability, not to let them use them to rob the people's property. Therefore, these firearms must be turned in. You should be clear about this, right?" Director Wang added.

At this time, the two old guys were here to scare Mr. Zhao.

Although what they said made sense, if this matter were to become known, people would not blame Mr. Zhao.

"You two, what exactly do you want?" Mr. Zhao asked helplessly.

"My son, in order to protect the wealthy people from the county and the common people who came to watch the play, specially found some people to help deal with this matter. There is absolutely no malicious intention."

"Your people have already asked the bosses in the county about the situation at that time, so I don't need to say more." Mr. Zhao responded firmly.

Faced with the two people's questioning, Mr. Zhao did not back down, but instead asked them directly how they wanted to solve the matter.

The two exchanged glances, clearly planning something. Their target was the guns of the eight hundred men.

"How about this? We take these weapons back to the bureau, and then discuss with the county magistrate to give you some compensation?" Director Wang tentatively suggested.

"Haha, Director Wang, this is not very kind of you. I, Zhao, have connections in the provincial capital. It's not nice for you to bully me like this." Mr. Zhao said.

"Then tell me, what do you want?" Captain Li asked.

"Captain Li, I'm afraid you're the one who's been the most silent about what happened today. Wang Mazi came here to cause trouble. I think it must be because you and he couldn't reach an agreement on the coal mine."

When Mr. Zhao said this, his eyes were fixed on Captain Li, which made him feel a little guilty.

"You must know that he took his men away. Why didn't you send anyone here to maintain law and order? I know what you are thinking." Mr. Zhao continued.

"I don't mind it. After all, nothing happened. I don't object to you taking those weapons, but there has to be some benefit."

Mr. Zhao finally got to the point.

"Either you give me the value of those materials and consider it as buying them." He stated the first option.

"Or just arrange a position for my son in the security team and let him be responsible for the security of the entire ancient town."

Mr. Zhao proposed the second option.

After Mr. Zhao finished speaking, he looked quietly at Captain Li and the other three, waiting for their answers.

He knew in his heart that these people were smart and would naturally understand what he meant.

Moreover, he believed that his request was not excessive, and as long as they agreed to one of the conditions, the matter could be resolved satisfactorily.

"Just give my son a share of the credit for eliminating these eight hundred Wang Mazi bandits. The rest is up to you and Director Wang. How's that?"

He knew that he couldn't take all the credit, and that leaving some benefits for others was the right way to deal with things.

The two looked at each other, and then they knew that this matter was not easy to handle, and they needed to go back and discuss it.

"Master Zhao, let's go back and discuss this with the county magistrate. We'll come back tomorrow and leave the weapons with you."

"okay."

He didn't bother with the other party. After all, they were all here for profit, not to make friends.

They left quickly with their people, but their departure did not affect the liveliness here.

After eating and drinking their fill, everyone was listening to the opera attentively, hoping to record it all in their brains. If they forgot, they wouldn't be able to enjoy it next time.

Mr. Zhao waited until the two men left before he went to his son's room in person. He wanted to discuss countermeasures with his son.

Zhao had just finished chatting with Xiao Cui and was about to take a break when his father came in.

"Dad, why are you here?"

"Well, let me see you, there's one more thing you think we should do."

He immediately told Zhao Gang exactly what had just happened in the living room.

Zhao Gang frowned and said, "Well, Dad, those things aren't worth much, but we can't just give them away for free. Let's try to get some benefits. If we can get an official position in the security corps, that would be the best, but if we can't, that's fine too."

Zhao Gang continued, "Don't worry too much. I have over 2,900 people digging coal in the mountains behind us! Our safety is not a problem. As long as we don't leave Xiaopi Village, we'll be absolutely safe."

Hearing his son say this, Mr. Zhao finally felt relieved.

After all, compared with the strength of Captain Li and Director Wang, he, the local landlord, is still slightly inferior.

Mr. Zhao left his son's room with satisfaction. He thought, if that's the case, let's wait until tomorrow to see what conditions the other party will offer!

If the conditions are good, it is okay to agree to it.

Xiaopi Village was unusually lively tonight. The scene during the day really scared everyone.

After a hearty meal in the evening, and the wonderful opera performance, the villagers finally felt a little relieved.

At this time, Zhao Gang was alone in his room, with the image of a butterfly constantly appearing in his mind.

The beautiful, intelligent woman made him have some special thoughts.
