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

Zhao Gang hurriedly left the place with ten guards. His destination was the county government office.

He needs to report the situation to County Magistrate Wang so that he can have an explanation in the future.

County Magistrate Wang had high hopes for Zhao Gang. When he heard that Zhao Gang was coming to see him, he quickly let Zhao Gang into the room.

"Zhao Gang, why are you so anxious? Did something happen in my private residence?"

After Zhao Gang walked into County Magistrate Wang's office, the other party asked anxiously.

"County Magistrate Wang, there is indeed an emergency at home, so I came to ask for leave. But please rest assured that the mansion will be safe, because there are 290 people there, all fully armed, who will ensure its safety."

Zhao Gang didn't want to waste time talking to the other party, so he just said that something happened at home and he needed to leave for a while.

"Oh, what's the matter? Can I listen to it?" asked County Magistrate Wang.

"It's nothing, actually. Director Zhang from the Longcheng Provincial Finance Department tried to buy our six stores for a thousand dollars. He also falsely accused our housekeeper Liu and got arrested and taken to the police station. My father asked me to handle it. I don't want to cause you any trouble, so I have to go and handle it first."

County Magistrate Wang was very surprised. He didn't expect to encounter such a thing. He understood very well that this was a bullying by relying on the power of his family.

The Zhao family’s shop couldn’t buy six shops with less than a thousand dollars, but he really didn’t want to manage it, and he couldn’t close it either.

"Okay, I understand. Go ahead. I don't think Commissioner Geng can help, so I can only rely on you."

Zhao Gang did not refute what County Magistrate Wang said. Whenever dealing with any matter, one should not rely on others for help, but on one's own strength.

"Oh, what's the matter? Can I listen to it?" County Magistrate Wang looked at Zhao Gang and asked with a smile.

"It's nothing, actually. It's just the son of Director Zhang of the Longcheng Provincial Finance Department. He tried to buy our six stores for a thousand and falsely accused our housekeeper Liu. He's been arrested and taken to the police station. My father asked me to handle it. I don't want to cause you any trouble, so I have to go and handle it first."

Zhao Gang said this in a calm tone, but there was a hint of coldness in his eyes.

Upon hearing this, County Magistrate Wang's expression changed slightly and he felt very surprised.

He didn't expect to encounter such a thing.

However, as a veteran in officialdom, he knew very well that this was clearly relying on the power of his family to oppress the people.

The Zhao family’s shops are worth far more than one thousand yuan, not to mention buying six shops at once.

However, the son of Director Zhang only offered one thousand yuan, which was obviously a deliberate attempt to make things difficult and insult him.

As for framing the Liu family's housekeeper, it was even more despicable.

But County Magistrate Wang really didn't want to intervene in this situation.

After all, the other party has a strong background and he can't afford to offend him.

Moreover, he knew clearly that this matter was not as simple as it seemed on the surface, and there might be higher-level issues involved behind it.

"Okay, I understand. You go ahead. I don't think Commissioner Geng can help either, so I can only rely on you." County Magistrate Wang sighed helplessly and said to Zhao Gang.

Zhao Gang did not refute after hearing this, because he understood that no matter when and where he faced any difficulties and challenges, he could not rely on the help of others, but had to rely on his own strength to solve the problem first.

Only by constantly improving our abilities and strengths can we remain invincible in this complex and ever-changing society.

Although he has a large army, he cannot just push forward without delay because he doesn't want to be noticed so quickly before the time comes.

Zhao Gang led ten guards and quietly left here.

They didn't carry much money with them, but Zhao Gang had his own plans. He would find a way to solve the financial problem when he arrived in the provincial capital. He believed that his own store should have a certain amount of reserve funds available for use.

In order to avoid attracting attention, Zhao Gang deliberately chose a set of ordinary people's clothes to change into.

After all, the local security corps is just a militia, managed by the local county, and is not an official army, so even if they go out in military uniform, they will not be recognized by others.

When they arrived in the provincial capital, it was already past seven in the evening.

Although it was getting dark, it was not yet completely dark.

Before entering the provincial capital, Zhao Gang found a secluded place where no one was around and put his horses and weapons into the space.

The environment in the space is beautiful, with mountains and water, which can meet all the needs of horses and allow them to get enough rest.

After some inquiries, Zhao Gang found out the exact location of his restaurant.

Then they quickly arrived at their destination.

Zhao Gang looked at the closed door of the restaurant and nodded secretly in his heart: "This shopkeeper is a calm man who knows how to act according to the situation."

He motioned to the people around him to come forward and knock on the door. After a while, the door opened a crack, revealing the face of a waiter.

The waiter looked at the group of people outside the door with sleepy eyes and asked in confusion, "Who are you?"

Zhao Gang smiled slightly, took out a crystal clear jade pendant from his arms, and shook it to the waiter: "I am the young master of the Zhao family. This is a token of trust. You can show it to the shopkeeper and he will know." After that, he handed the jade pendant to the waiter.

The waiter took the jade pendant, looked at it carefully, and his expression became respectful.

He hurriedly turned around and went into the building. Soon, the shopkeeper came out quickly and bowed to Zhao Gang with a smile on his face: "Young Master, you are finally here!" As he said that, the shopkeeper returned the jade pendant to Zhao Gang and enthusiastically took his hand to invite him into the building.

"Come in, come in!" the shopkeeper called out, and ordered the waiter, "Go to the kitchen and prepare some wine and food for the young master and the warriors.

"The waiter responded and left in a hurry.

The shopkeeper led everyone to the lobby and sat them down. He personally filled a cup of tea for each person and said with a smile, "Everyone, take a break and have some tea to quench your thirst."

"Thank you. We will stay here tonight and rest after dinner. However, you need to do one thing. Draw a map from here to the provincial police station. We are going to visit Butler Liu tomorrow."

After Zhao Gang finished speaking, he started drinking tea.

The shopkeeper was a little embarrassed, as he didn't know how to draw this.

Zhao Gang saw that he was frowning and knew what he was thinking about.

"Just tell me what you want to say. I just arrived and don't know much about this place, so I still need your guidance," said Zhao Gang.

"Well, it's like this. Our restaurant is quite far from the police station, and I don't know where Butler Liu is being held. After I received the letter from the master, I asked someone, but no one told me."

"And I can't draw a map either, so you're putting me in a difficult position. No, I'll let Xiao Er take you there. He knows the way."

Zhao Gang didn't say anything after hearing this. He just turned around and whispered to the guard beside him, "Go get some paper and pen."

Upon hearing this, the guard immediately turned around to get paper and pen, and quickly brought it back and handed it to Zhao Gang.

Zhao Gang took the paper and pen and asked the guard next to him to draw.
