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

Zhao Gang followed the lawyer out of the county government office, and then walked towards the so-called outer residence of County Magistrate Wang, followed by Secretary Li.

When they left the county government office, they saw Zhao Gang's 200 security guards.

Secretary Li has seen the world and has his own understanding of the combat effectiveness of soldiers in the army. He can tell from their appearance whether their spirit and marching formation are neat.

This can be seen from the professionalism of the soldiers' training and has a certain relationship with whether they have the ability.

Soon, he felt the difference in this group of people. The team was well-organized, full of energy and spirit, and well-equipped. Although he had never seen those guns, they definitely looked much better than the Type 38 rifle.

No wonder they were able to defeat 800 bandits; excellent equipment and soldiers were crucial.

Now he felt relieved. After all, he was responsible for the safekeeping of this batch of gold, and he would be held accountable if anything went wrong.

But this time when he came out, his family was being held captive by others, so he dared not neglect his duties. After all, money is a very tempting thing, and his superiors would be worried about him with so much gold.

Soon they arrived at the house that County Magistrate Wang had mentioned.

After Zhao Gang entered, he knew that this was a two-entry courtyard, which was very nice overall.

Secretary Li inspected the place and thought it was nice and comfortable to live here.

"Then I'll ask someone to move in first. Secretary Li, it's up to you to decide when to come in. I'll send someone to protect you when you travel. Is that okay with you?" Zhao Gang asked.

Secretary Li nodded after hearing this. He was very satisfied with the other party's arrangement.

"Okay, I require 10 people to protect me. Is that not too much?" Secretary Li proposed the number of security personnel.

"No problem, you can always command them."

After Zhao Gang finished speaking, he issued orders to the death squad.

"Listen, from now on, Secretary Li has the right to transfer any of you. No matter where he goes, you must accompany him every step of the way, even to the bathroom or if there are women around."

Secretary Li smiled awkwardly and said nothing. Since they were thinking about him, what else could he say?

In this way, 190 people were left here. The remaining 10 people accompanied Secretary Li to the county government office, while Zhao Gang stayed here to wait for the evening banquet.

Seeing that there was nothing for him to do, the lawyer said something and left.

After everyone left, Zhao Gang had time to think about what happened today.

He knew in his heart that it must be some important person transferring important supplies.

They must have received some news, which might be related to the current situation, so they made preparations in advance and moved some valuables out of the provincial capital.

It’s a pity that I don’t know who will benefit from this behavior in the end.

After leaving the county government office, Captain Li and Director Wang began to visit several big bosses in the county, and then explained County Magistrate Wang's intention that they could have dinner with Commissioner Geng from the provincial capital tonight, but they needed to pay for various expenses.

These people are smart. Knowing that this is a task assigned by County Magistrate Wang, they regard it as supporting his work.

They don't want to offend anyone. It's just a matter of spending some money, no big deal.

Liu Qing, the owner of Qingfenglou, the largest restaurant in the county, Wu Degui, the owner of the largest grain merchant, Li Laoliu who owned the most stores, and the owners of several larger trading companies were all invited.

The person who contributed the least was 500 taels of silver. Everyone pooled their money together and gave a total of 10,000 taels of silver to Commissioner Geng. This money was for him to spend in the county.

For example, the money for tonight's banquet and various activities tomorrow or the day after tomorrow will all come from here.

Of course, the evening banquet was naturally held at Qingfenglou, where the standard was higher. Although Zhao Gang's restaurant was also good, it did not have a good enough chef to entertain the provincial commissioner.

The two of them spent three hours to settle everything, and then excitedly came to the county government office.

"Please inform us, we have made arrangements and can have Commissioner Geng on hand anytime."

Captain Li said to the guards outside the county government office.

On normal days, it would be no problem for them to go in, and the guards at the gate would not say anything, but it was different now, because a big shot from the province lived here.

"Okay, okay, Captain Li, Director Wang, you've been waiting like idiots."

County Magistrate Wang was thinking about what Commissioner Geng had asked him to do when he heard someone report.

"Oh, they've done it. Fine, let them in."

"Yes, Magistrate."

Soon two of them came trotting over.

"County magistrate, it's done. This is the list of participants. They donated a total of 10,000 yuan for Commissioner Geng's recent daily expenses here. Do you think this is enough?" Captain Li asked excitedly.

Director Wang also nodded. This was the number they calculated together, and it couldn't be wrong.

"Okay, notify everyone that they must be here at 5:30. Inform Qingfenglou and ask them to do a better job today."

County Magistrate Wang ordered.

"Yes, we'll go right away," said Director Wang.

"Well, Zhao Gang is at my house. Send someone to inform him. He's also attending tonight. He's the one who's responsible for the safety of Commissioner Geng's secretary from now on. You should give him that face."

The two understood each other and left with a smile.

But after leaving the county government office, the two became puzzled.

"I wonder what kind of family background Zhao Gang has. Is he really just the stupid son of a landlord in a small village?" Director Wang asked.

"Oh, I don't know. The Zhao family is unfathomable. We just need to avoid offending them." Captain Li said a little frightened.

"Well, okay, let's do it this way for now. Let's go and notify people. I'll send someone to notify Zhao Gang and ask him to go to Qingfeng Building and wait." Director Wang left after saying this.

The two of them were busy for a long time, but they didn't get any benefits and their legs were almost broken from running.

It was six o'clock and Commissioner Geng was finally hungry, so he left his room and went to County Magistrate Wang's office.

"Hey, Old Wang, are you practicing calligraphy?" Commissioner Geng said.

"Yes, after listening to your teachings, I felt that I still needed to learn, so I practiced calligraphy. I'm sorry to bother you."

"Well, not bad, you're brave enough to take responsibility. How come yours looks exactly like the one hanging in my office?"

Ha ha! ! !

"It was after seeing your calligraphy that I decided to come back and practice. I think this is very important. It taught me the most important thing about being an official: you must be brave enough to act and take responsibility. You cannot shirk your responsibilities. You must be brave enough to do things in order to benefit the people."

County Magistrate Wang said with a smile.

"Well, that's a good point. Okay, let's go. I'm hungry too. Let's talk while we eat."

After Commissioner Geng finished speaking, he asked County Magistrate Wang to take the lead, as he didn't know where to eat.

"Okay, Commissioner Geng, everything is ready and we're just waiting for you."

County Magistrate Wang put down his brush, washed his hands, and then left his office with Commissioner Geng.

This time he was able to get into Commissioner Geng's car. He pointed the way and they soon arrived at the Qingfenglou Restaurant.

The place is already full of people, and everyone is waiting for Commissioner Geng. This grand scene also makes Commissioner Geng very satisfied.

He greeted everyone with a smile. After all, everyone was smiling, so he couldn't have a stern face. This would give people the impression that he was keeping people at a distance, and people would think that he, Commissioner Geng, was such a powerful official.

Soon everyone entered the private room. There were three tables of guests tonight, including Commissioner Geng and the county's bureaucrats, and the other two tables were for the big bosses who were invited.
