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

The two returned to the county town overnight and went straight to find County Magistrate Wang, telling him everything that had happened in the ancient town of Xiaopi Village that day.

County Magistrate Wang looked at the two men with suspicion, finding it hard to believe what they said.

He turned to look at Captain Li standing beside him. Although Captain Li had let go of Wang Mazi, the bandit who had wreaked havoc in the village, he still needed people, so he decided not to pursue the matter any further.

However, he found it hard to believe that the foolish son of a small landlord could become so powerful after waking up.

This sounds as ridiculous as a fairy tale.

"Are you really sure that Mr. Zhao's son is a fool?" County Magistrate Wang frowned and asked in confusion.

"Of course, this is a fact known to the whole county and has been going on for many years." Captain Li replied quickly.

"Well, if that's true, then what exactly is the reason that allows this so-called fool young master to find those vicious people and wipe out 800 bandits with the strength of only 100 people?" County Magistrate Wang muttered to himself and fell into deep thought.

"That...we don't know either! I heard he was sick and fainted for several days. The next day after he recovered, his father threw him this huge banquet. It must have cost a lot."

"Yes, and those 100 people seemed to appear out of nowhere. Many people didn't recognize them, but they were really powerful."

"I think so too. The Zhao family is also very suspicious. They actually have heavy weapons at home that a battalion might not have. This is equipment that only our Lord Yan's elite troops have."

After hearing what Captain Li said, County Magistrate Wang began to wonder if the Zhao family had some kind of relative relationship with the person in the provincial government?

After all, these heavy weapons are not something that ordinary people can own.

After a while, he asked again: "So, what benefits should we give to the other party in order to get those weapons back?"

The two looked at each other, both feeling a little embarrassed.

They feel that any benefit they receive requires them to sacrifice some of their own interests, and they feel unwilling to do so.

But it’s not easy to refuse directly, so I can only discuss it first.

After some discussion, they told County Magistrate Wang, "Well, that depends on what the other party wants. But no matter what, we'll definitely have to pay a price."

County Magistrate Wang nodded to show his understanding.

He knew that this matter could not be rushed and must be considered carefully.

After all, this batch of weapons is very important to them. If they can get them back, it will greatly enhance their strength.

"What do you think of this idea, County Magistrate?"

"We can give him the position of captain of the security team and let him be responsible for the security of the ancient town. At the same time, let him also serve as the chief of police of the ancient town. In this way, we can not only obtain these weapons, but also give him some real power."

"Yes, let's consider these two positions as having been sold to them. In exchange for these weapons, what do you think?"

After some discussion, it was finally decided that both parties would jointly receive the weapons and give each an official position.

Although the position is not high-ranking, it represents the power granted by the county and is responsible for the public security and police work in one area.

"Well, according to our investigation, his family has a pretty good reputation and has never oppressed the people. They are considered good landlords. So let's give these two positions to his family. As long as they don't collude with those red revolutionaries, we won't have to worry about anything else."

"However, please note that the expenses for his personnel and guns will not come from the county's finances and will need to be met by him on his own. You must explain to him clearly that we will only record the staffing situation here."

After County Magistrate Wang finished speaking, he asked the two to leave. He still had to continue working at this late hour.

Serve the country and the people during the day, and serve your family and yourself at night. You can't stop for a moment.

Soon, he returned to his room, and soon unspeakable sounds were heard from inside.

After the two men left, they went to divide the gun.

When they arrived at Huamanlou, the proprietress quickly and happily welcomed them in.

"Hey, what's the wind that brings you both here?"

They laughed heartily, taking advantage of the proprietress a little, and then said with a smile: "Of course we are happy to come. Prepare two rooms. We will discuss things here today and rest here after we are done."

Seeing them like this, the lady boss said with a smile: "No problem, you are our gods, how can we not serve you well? Then you follow me first, and I will arrange a place for you to rest later."

The two followed the proprietress into a room and sat down. Soon, several beautiful girls came in with wine and food, and the proprietress filled their glasses with wine.

"Madam boss, please get out first. We'll talk about this after we're done."

Captain Li looked at the still charming proprietress in front of him and said in a deep voice.

"Okay, Master Li."

Although the proprietress was somewhat reluctant, she was ready to leave.

"Why don't you two little sluts leave? The two masters are busy discussing business and can't take care of you two." She turned her head and said to the two scantily clad women next to her.

The two women had no choice but to leave with pouts. The proprietress had tea served before leaving the room.

Only Captain Li and Director Wang were left in the room.

"Lao Wang, how much do you want?" asked Captain Li.

"Old Li, my position as a police chief can be sold for five thousand. I want two hundred. How about that?" Director Wang said cautiously.

"It's a bit of a loss, but I agree. However, you can't be picky. Whatever I give you is what I get, but I guarantee that it will be effective." Captain Li said after thinking about it.

Hearing this, Lao Wang's face instantly became very ugly. Isn't this obviously bullying!

"This is not too cruel. After all, there are some old things here." Lao Wang said helplessly.

"Well, I'll pick out a hundred for you, and then you can pick out a hundred for yourself. Just don't take all the good ones."

Seeing that Lao Wang was unhappy, Captain Li proposed a compromise plan.

Lao Wang thought about it and felt that it was a good idea. Since it was a business with no capital investment, he agreed.

"Okay, then we will take people to get weapons tomorrow, divide them there, and then everyone will take their things and leave." Captain Li said excitedly.

"Well, okay, I agree." Director Wang also agreed.

"Okay, that's settled then. Let's have a drink and that's it."

Captain Li picked up the wine glass, his eyes flashing with greed and joy.

Director Wang also picked up the wine glass without hesitation. The two looked at each other, and there was a hint of cunning and pride in their eyes.

They raised their glasses at the same time and drank them all in one gulp.

"Haha, we're going to be rich now. This Wang Mazi is such a bastard. He even wants shares in Xiaopi Village's coal mine. What wishful thinking!"

"That's it, I got taken care of by a nobody, and died in such a confused state."

The more he spoke, the happier he became, as if he had forgotten that Wang Mazi was also his subordinate before.
