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

County Magistrate Wang immediately followed, and the two quickly left County Magistrate Wang’s office and soon arrived at a relatively secluded room.

"Come here, guard here and don't let anyone approach. Do you understand?"

County Magistrate Wang gave the order with a serious expression, his tone revealing an unquestionable majesty.

The guards in the county government office answered in unison: "Yes, County Magistrate!"

Afterwards, they stood in a neat row on both sides of the door, watching the movements around them vigilantly.

County Magistrate Wang turned around, opened the door, and led Commissioner Geng and his secretary into the room.

The three of them walked down the stairs and finally arrived at the basement.

The environment here is quiet and confidential, ensuring that conversations will not be overheard by outsiders.

Commissioner Geng carefully observed the surrounding environment and nodded with satisfaction to express his appreciation.

"Old Wang, I came here today to inspect you, but in reality, I need your help with something."

Commissioner Geng said this solemnly, a hint of anticipation in his eyes. He then turned and gestured to his secretary.

"Come here, bring the things over."

As Commissioner Geng finished speaking, his secretary quickly stepped forward and placed two heavy boxes on the table.

"This is?"

County Magistrate Wang looked at the two large boxes in front of him with a puzzled look on his face, his heart filled with curiosity and uneasiness.

"You'll know when you open it and take a look."

Commissioner Geng said this with a smile, but that smile made people feel a little eerie.

Although he was a little scared, County Magistrate Wang still opened one of the boxes.

When he saw that the box was full of golden gold, he couldn't help but take a breath and quickly closed the box.

At this moment, his heart was beating wildly and his hands were trembling slightly.

He knew very well that this matter was not easy and he might lose his head.

He secretly thanked his lucky stars that he had not been blinded by money, otherwise the consequences would have been disastrous.

He calmed himself down, looked at Commissioner Geng in front of him, and asked cautiously, "Commissioner Geng, what do you mean?"

Commissioner Geng smiled, patted County Magistrate Wang on the shoulder, and consoled him, "Don't be nervous. I personally promoted you. How could I possibly harm you?"

County Magistrate Wang forced a smile, but he felt increasingly uneasy.

He understood that the officialdom was like a battlefield, and any carelessness would lead to eternal damnation.

Commissioner Geng continued to explain, "Actually, according to reliable intelligence we've received, war may be imminent. To prepare for future developments, the provincial leaders have decided to withdraw some of their valuables and entrust them to trusted individuals. You are one of those people they trust."

Hearing this, County Magistrate Wang suddenly understood.

That's it!

These properties actually came from big shots in the province.

But at the same time, he also realized the seriousness of the problem - if war really broke out, would these properties still be safe?

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel a chill.

"I promoted you. You've been working here for many years, diligently and diligently, and have accomplished a lot of practical things. You're considered a good official, so the governor and I recommended you. Now you understand who you're working for, right?"

Commissioner Geng looked at County Magistrate Wang seriously, with a hint of majesty in his tone.

County Magistrate Wang was frightened by his words and quickly nodded in response, "I understand, I understand. Thank you and the Governor for your cultivation!"

"This is a great opportunity. Once you get this done for the governor, you'll be his man. Your future in Jin Province will be smooth sailing, and a promotion and salary increase are just around the corner."

Commissioner Geng patted County Magistrate Wang on the shoulder and spoke earnestly.

County Magistrate Wang was excited. He knew that he had encountered a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. If he could successfully complete the task, his future would be bright.

So he nodded firmly, indicating that he was willing to accept the task.

When Commissioner Geng saw that County Magistrate Wang agreed so readily, a satisfied smile appeared on his face.

Then, he continued to explain some details to County Magistrate Wang and reminded him to keep it confidential.

After hearing his words, County Magistrate Wang was filled with anticipation, but also a little worried.

He was worried about whether he could complete the task successfully, and was even more worried about what unexpected situations might occur.

However, when he thought about the person he was about to become governor, his doubts disappeared without a trace.

Finally, Commissioner Geng once again emphasized the importance of this matter and told County Magistrate Wang to go all out and not slack off in the slightest.

County Magistrate Wang nodded repeatedly and said that he would do his best to complete the task.

County Magistrate Wang sat in a chair, his eyes slightly closed, his brows furrowed, lost in thought.

As time passed, various plans kept flashing through his mind, but he rejected them one by one.

Finally, he opened his eyes, a glint of determination flashed in his eyes: "I've made up my mind!"

Commissioner Geng's eyes immediately focused on him, expecting him to give an answer.

"I think our county's security captain Zhao Gang is quite suitable. Let him be responsible for the security there." said County Magistrate Wang.

"Huh? Why choose him?" asked Commissioner Geng.

"Because he was specially promoted to this position with my approval, the combat effectiveness of his 300 men should be pretty good. He is also the silly young master of a landlord. Mainly because he has just recovered his intelligence and doesn't have those bad habits. Therefore, it is appropriate for me to choose him to be responsible for the safety of the storage area." County Magistrate Wang explained.

"Okay, that's settled! Let Zhao Gang be responsible for this task. However, we still need to find a safe place to store this thing." Commissioner Geng suggested.

"I have an idea. I have a private house in the county town, but I seldom live there. I can put this thing in the basement there, and ask Zhao Gang to guard it. This way, we can ensure the safety of this thing and avoid causing unnecessary trouble." said County Magistrate Wang.

Then, County Magistrate Wang gave a detailed introduction to Zhao Gang, including how he got the position of captain, his family background, and the weapons and equipment his subordinates possessed.

After listening, Commissioner Geng and his secretary had a deeper understanding of Zhao Gang.

"Oh, I see. It seems this guy is no ordinary person! He once led more than a hundred people to eliminate eight hundred bandits. If he had three hundred people, wouldn't he be able to eliminate even our county's security group?" Commissioner Geng said in surprise.

County Magistrate Wang nodded and smiled, saying, "Yes, so we can rest assured if we let him protect this thing. And there's another advantage: he doesn't live in the county, and he's not very familiar with Captain Li and Director Wang. He's well-off at home, so at least he won't be curious about the yard. This way, there won't be any unexpected situations."

After hearing this, both of them felt that what County Magistrate Wang said made sense. Commissioner Geng agreed to this matter after thinking for a few minutes.

So they began to discuss a specific plan to ensure that the two boxes could be stored safely in the place where Zhao Gang was responsible.

County Magistrate Wang did not choose Captain Li and Director Wang because he was too familiar with them. They were both greedy and lustful people. How could he dare to entrust such an important task to such people?

Wouldn't that be like throwing a meat bun at a dog, and there would be no return?
