He Daqing, do you know how I've lived these past years?

At lunchtime, Leyou finished his business and walked out of the office. Outside the door, Lao Liu bowed and said:

"Sir, we agreed yesterday to let that chubby guy go to Qingyun Tower at noon."

Leyou also remembered this and nodded, saying:

"Prepare the car"

He walked towards the door, and Lao Liu quickly ran out to call the jeep that was waiting nearby. After Leyou got in the car, they drove towards Qingyun Tower.

Qingyun Tower

"Fatty, do you think Commander Yue will come? It's already past lunchtime."

Jia Gui threw away his cigarette and complained to the fat man.

The chubby man, waving his fan, laughed:

"Don't worry, Commander Yue is such a high-ranking official, he's very busy. Since he promised, he'll definitely come back."

Hearing this, He Daqing, standing behind the two, hesitated before speaking:

"Brothers, I'd like to go back first. My youngest son and daughter haven't eaten yet, and the steamed buns are still steaming. I'll go back first and come back later."

Jia Gui glanced at He Daqing and said:

"Brother Daqing, you're turning down wealth that's practically in your hands? You have no idea how rare this meal is. The previous garrison commander didn't even give us two a second glance."

He Daqing hurriedly took out a cigarette from his pocket and stuffed it into Jia Gui's hand, saying:

"My dear Jia, my wife is gone, but I still have to raise the children. Otherwise, I'll truly be letting her down."

The chubby man also seemed uninterested, saying:

"Forget it, Lao Jia, let him go back first. We'll help him out later when we're in a better position."

Jia Gui, also angered by his son's lack of ambition, nodded in agreement.

He Daqing kept thanking them and ran home.

a moment later

"Old Jia, stop smoking, Commander Yue is here."

Jia Gui looked up and saw a green jeep in front of him, with two groups of soldiers running behind it, each carrying a submachine gun; he estimated there were forty or fifty of them.

"Quickly, quickly welcome them!"

The chubby man hurriedly ran to the jeep that had just arrived at the restaurant, opened the back door, and called out with a grin:

"Welcome, Commander Yue, to grace our humble abode with your presence. We brothers are truly honored."

Jia Gui also bent over and said with a smile:

"The moment the car door opened, Commander Yue made a dazzling entrance; it's a blessing for all the people of Beijing,"

"puff"

Mulan suddenly laughed. Leyou turned his head to look, and Mulan leaned close to his ear and whispered:

"Senior brother, look at those two. One is fat and has big ears, the other is skin and bones. But look at his eyes and teeth."

Leyou gently tapped Mulan's head and whispered:

"Don't judge a book by its cover; please don't say things like that again."

After saying that, he followed the chubby man into Qingyun Tower, while Jia Gui grinned and said to Mulan:

"My little fairy, it's my great honor to make you laugh with my adorable appearance. Please come upstairs for a meal; I have plenty of jokes to tell, I guarantee you'll be satisfied."

Mulan tilted her head and looked at Jia Gui, saying:

"Let's go, I'm sorry about earlier."

Upon hearing this, Jia Gui became excited and started telling jokes.

Mulan listened to the jokes and watched Jia Gui's body language, constantly giggling.

Le You, who was in front, gave Bai Pangzi and Jia Gui a meaningful look before taking the seat of honor.

"Sir, try this Shaoxing wine. It tastes amazing, hundreds of times better than that liquor."

Looking at the table full of chicken, duck, fish and meat, and smelling the aroma of Kaifeng rice wine, Leyou couldn't help but feel a surge of appetite.

He gestured for the sixth brother to sit down and then they began to eat.

Jia Gui kept getting up to pour wine, praising the sixth brother who carried a big knife.

As things got better, the chubby man hesitated for a moment, then pulled Jia Gui to kneel on the ground and said to Le You:

"Please, sir, save us two brothers!"

Leyou tossed aside the chicken bone in his hand, took out a cigarette, lit it, and quietly watched the two people on the ground.

The chubby man, being perceptive, immediately said:

“Sir, I was the Japanese translator before, but I didn’t betray my countrymen. I passed on intelligence to my party and helped the people. Jia Gui did the same, because we are all Chinese.”

"When you're in the game, you're not always in control of your own destiny, but now someone's determined to get back at us, sir. We haven't done anything wrong!"

Le You narrowed his eyes and pondered for a moment.

The adjutant of the garrison commander had previously spoken up for the chubby guy, and besides, this kind of thing could be easily found out by asking around.

Besides, I'm new here, and this local strongman is just what I need to rely on.

After thinking it over, he looked at Mulan beside him, and Mulan nodded. After all, as the adjutant, she had already been instructed by the special agent battalion to find out about the people who invited him to dinner last night when they were gathering information.

"Alright, get up. From now on, you two will go to the police station and lead them on patrols. I'll give each of you a motorcycle."

However, I have one request.

Upon hearing this, the chubby Jia Gui hurriedly kowtowed and said:

"Thank you for taking us in, sir. We brothers would do anything, even die, to get this done."

Upon hearing this, Leyou exclaimed "Great!"

"Warn the hooligans in town: if they bully the people, kidnap anyone, or commit any injustice, kill them all without mercy. If you are threatened, go find Chen Si."

But if any injustice is found, I will skin you alive, stuff your skins with straw, and hang them on the city wall. You can also inquire about my past in Leyou."

The chubby guy and Jia Gui nodded in agreement with delight.

After Leyou finished speaking, he stood up and said to Mulan:

"Have them go to the logistics department to collect supplies, with the cavalry battalion assisting them. Report back to me once a week."

After saying that, he walked out, with Lao Liu following closely behind.

Mulan looked at the two kneeling on the ground and said:

"You're lucky. Since your senior brother has said so, then come with me."

Jia Gui wiped the cold sweat from his brow and thought to himself:

"She's not some fairy, she's practically a grandma, Commander Yue's junior sister!"

……

Before even reaching the Le Mansion, Le You saw more than a dozen elderly people, women, and children kneeling at the entrance.

After getting off the bus, everyone knelt down at Leyou's feet and began to weep and plead.

It took me a long time to understand what had happened.

He hesitated for a moment and said:

"Fellow villagers, I have only just taken office. Please allow me to inquire and give you an answer within two days. Now I'll head back."

"Sixth brother, give each family ten silver dollars. If they come the day after tomorrow, send them directly into the mansion."

The kneeling people kept kowtowing in gratitude, and then helped each other up and left.

Leyou then went into the mansion and summoned a communications soldier to send a telegram to General Song.

He sat down to the side, smoking and waiting quietly.

"Drip drip"

"Da da da"

A telegram arrived quickly, and Leyou hesitated upon seeing the message, "No, wait for me to discuss it further."

He then instructed the communications soldier to send a telegram to General Bai, picked up a pen, wrote about twenty words on a piece of paper, and had Lao Liu, who had just walked in, hand it to Chen Si.

Poop went back to his office and began handling his work.

Meanwhile, Chen Si, standing outside, stared at the note in his hand, his mind filled with three question marks: ???

"Yuan Guo?"

"Haifenwei?"
