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

"Madam, please allow me to return. The commander is currently imprisoned in a war criminal detention center. I need to consult with my former comrades to gather some information."

Jia Gui knelt on the ground and begged Jing Xian.

Meanwhile, the Shu people, led by Pan Gui, were furious.

"Sister-in-law, we never expected this to happen. I've already sent someone to Heyu to gather information; we'll definitely rescue my brother."

Jiang You and the other officers stared intently at Pan Gui and his group, their hands resting on the pistols at their waists.

"Alright, I also believe that Brother Fan will give Weiguo an explanation. We're all on the same side, we need to stay united."

Jia Gui, you go back first and gather information. I'll have someone send the telegraph machine over later. If you find anything amiss, send me a telegram immediately.

Jia Gui nodded and quickly stood up, while the chubby man beside him hesitated for a moment and said:

"Madam, I've worked with Jia Gui for many years. I'll go with him; at least we can look out for each other."

Jingxian nodded and then asked about the current situation of Kowloon Walled City.

……

"It's a real waste that Le Weiguo, with his superhuman strength, is doing farm work."

"The only condition attached to the fact that the Soviet Union sent technical personnel this time was that they hand over Le Weiguo."

"You two aren't thinking of releasing him early, are you? I don't agree to that. His influence in Kowloon Walled City can also sway Red Incense Burner Alley."

"Hmph, that's a woman's view. Does he mean that if Le Weiguo dies, nothing can be accomplished?"

"Don't say that. I just said it's a pity to sacrifice him. Back when General Xu recovered the outer Yuan, he was the only one who went out to keep an eye on things in recent years."

Moreover, there's Hai Shenwei. Comrade Shan Chu from Daling sent troops to massacre all the Daxia people there. We've stationed our troops in Guandong, yet we need Le Weiguo to rescue the Daxia workers.”

"Hmph, what's wrong? You're still hung up on that Duan guy? It's decided then. I'll let him out later, and then send him to Su Xiong Kingdom after some time. Remember to tell him then that there are many Japanese soldiers in that potato field."

"If it were up there..."

"He's been dead for almost a year, what good would it do him to know?"

……

Small Tavern in Sijiu City

"Damn it, someone like you dares to marry Xue Ru? I'll beat you to death!"

Jia Gui took a wooden stick and kept hitting Fan Jinyou on the ground.

"Brother Jia, forget it. I know how you feel, but I've already lost my virginity to him. Let's just leave it at that."

Jia Gui spat, then picked up Niu Ye's wine glass next to him, and squeaked it.

He finished it in a few gulps. It turned out that when Old Master Chen was still alive, he wanted to give his daughter to Le Weiguo as a concubine, but she was too young. Later, after the war in North Korea, some unscrupulous businessmen sold cotton wadding as cotton.

Expired, moldy counterfeit medicine versus genuine medicine.

It was around that time that Jia Gui started an affair with Chen Xueru. Unfortunately, before his death, the old man betrothed him to Hou Jia, so he had no choice but to choose the pregnant woman from among his lovers.

"Alright, Captain Jia, come on, put all the expenses on my tab today, let's have a good drink."

Grandpa Niu picked up a peanut and said cheerfully,

Ever since Fan Jinyou became the manager, besides selling counterfeit alcohol, he has also been verbally abusing everyone.

Everyone resented him intensely. If it weren't for Xu Huizhen's social skills, there would be plenty of places to drink.

Jia Gui, completely drunk, was pulled back to his original courtyard by Pian'erye in a cart.

A moment later, a man dressed in black night clothes scaled the wall and entered, took a letter from his pocket and threw it at Jia Gui, then immediately scaled the wall again and left.

A moment later, a dozen or so people, also dressed in black night clothes, suddenly appeared out of thin air.

"Gibberish"

"Gibberish"

The man in the lead picked up the letter, read it, and chuckled.

"Shuga"

"Those Great Xia people really love eliminating dissidents, but I like it."

"Kojiro, contact Su Xiong Kingdom. Our men in the north are willing to help them."

"Musashi, go back immediately and contact all the sects, and have them all send people over."

"No matter what, we must kill Le Weiguo this time to prove that our techniques are more authentic and powerful than those of the Great Xia Kingdom."

"Hi"

"Hi"

……

The next day, Jia Gui woke up groggily, and upon seeing the letter on his person, he was jolted awake and immediately began to examine it.

"Haha, according to this letter, the boss will be released in a few days. Could it be a former subordinate?"

"Never mind, I'll go outside the city to gather some information, and then send a telegram to my wife."

A moment later, someone spread the word that Le Weiguo was going to be pardoned.

Jia Gui didn't know whether to be pleasantly surprised or worried, because it didn't make sense.

As far as he knew, he needed the consent of other party members to be granted a pardon. In fact, he did not know that at this time, someone had already put forward a list of eleven people to be pardoned.

Suppressing his doubts, he hurried back to Beijing. After waiting anxiously for a day, he finally heard three urgent, short knocks on the door the following evening.

Jia Gui hurriedly opened the door, pulled the man inside, ripped the wooden box off his back, and instructed him to guard the area in the yard.

Then he took the wooden box and walked into the house.

"Drip drip"

"Da da da"

A moment later, as the telegram was relayed back and forth, Jia Gui breathed a sigh of relief.

After hiding the telegraph machine, he went out, dismissed the people in the courtyard, checked the sky, and headed directly towards Xiaxing Steel Plant.

"Your section chief said that an old friend had come to visit."

Jia Gui said to the security guards at the factory gate.

The team member looked troubled and stammered:

"The section chief isn't at the factory right now; the factory manager transferred him to the cleaning department."

"What?! He's a regimental commander who's been reinstated!"

Then the team member told Jia Gui about what had happened with Yang Guoliang.

After hearing this, Jia Gui asked for his address and then left.

A moment later, Jia Gui hugged the man and cried:

"Brother, you've suffered so much."

The man shook his head and said:

"If he doesn't recover, I would have shot that bastard dead just for daring to lay a hand on Madam."

Jia Gui glanced at the two raggedly dressed children hiding behind the door in the distance.

She pulled two small yellow croakers from her bosom and handed them to the man.

After a moment of contemplation, he said:

"Wait for me at home tomorrow noon. Don't go to the factory yet; I'm leaving now."

After leaving the house, Jia Gui anxiously headed towards the homes of the regimental commanders who had been reinstated, as well as the homes of the clerks that Le You had secretly left behind.

After a night of secret conversation, Jia Gui arrived at the former section chief's house before dawn.

"Brother, just go directly to the West City Police Station. We agreed on a position as deputy chief, so we'll have to make do with this."

The former section chief also shook his head and said:

"I am so fortunate to have received General Yue's care over the years; I would gladly die for him."

Jia Gui patted him on the shoulder and left.

After an incense stick had burned a while, Jia Gui also received an address and a letter of introduction from the police station.

He hurriedly boarded the train and headed towards Baocheng.

We made a promise back then to invite the boss to the baby's one-month celebration, and this is a good opportunity to welcome him back.

Although Jia Gui knows many people, it's uncertain whether those chefs will still give him face once he's gone.

So I had no choice but to turn to my good friend He Daqing. I think I recognized him from the boss's expression last time.
