Chapter 1 Hollowing Out the Mind
Some people say that the air is the freshest after the rain, but Tang Cheng, who is holding his hands on his knees and gasping for breath on a stone platform at the moment, does not think so. If it was just running continuously, it would not be difficult for Tang Cheng, who had taken many physical strength potions. But if you run continuously on a winding mountain road, and you run a distance of more than 20 kilometers, even Tang Cheng, who can be called a pervert in physical fitness, is a little unbearable.
After about half a cigarette, Tang Cheng, who had adjusted his breathing, finally straightened up, standing on the stone platform, he looked into the distance, the freshness after the rain finally showed its power at this moment, and a soothing smile slowly appeared on Tang Cheng's face. It has been more than three months since he arrived in Chongqing, and Tang Cheng is getting acquainted with the city and slowly integrating himself into the city. In Tang Cheng's later memories, he came to Chongqing, but that Chongqing is completely incomparable with the Chongqing in front of him.
After breathing in place for a while, Tang Cheng began to boxing on the stone platform according to his habit, and during the time he came to Chongqing, as long as it was not a violent wind and rain, Tang Cheng would always come here to practice boxing. An hour later, the originally quiet city of Chongqing became lively, and gradually people went out of the house, some went to school, some went to work, and some went out for breakfast. Tang Cheng's early rise is just for exercise, which is rare in Chongqing, at least during this period of time, Tang Cheng has not found anyone who gets up early to exercise like himself.
Slowly descending the mountain along the way he came, the coarse cloth shirt on Tang Cheng's body, which was originally soaked with sweat, was being dried by the sun and Tang Cheng's body temperature little by little. After coming to Chongqing for more than three months, except for the first month, Tang Cheng lived with his family, and after Zhang Jianghe took over the post of deputy head of the Chongqing station, Tang Cheng moved away from his house with Zhang Jianghe and lived in a courtyard not far from the compound of the Chongqing intelligence station.
Tang Cheng didn't want to live separately from his family, but Zhang Jianghe had a good reason, this is Chongqing, not Nanjing, which is full of robes. Whether it is the intelligence department or the police station, it is a place where it is easy to offend people and make enemies, in case you meet that kind of guy who has a tendon and threatens his family, it will be too late to regret it. Zhang Jianghe's reason was very strong, Tang Cheng was speechless, and after discussing with his mother, Tang Cheng, who promised to go home every week to eat with his family, moved here with Zhang Jianghe.
Tang Cheng walked all the way and looked all the way, and when he passed by the street, a sunspot dressed as a young man was waiting at the door of the breakfast shop at the street entrance with a packed breakfast. "Next time, don't be stupid and wait outside!" Tang Cheng, who had taken the morning from Kuroko's hand and was paying attention to the movements around him, whispered. Kuroko, who could already speak fluently in Sichuan pronunciation, just smiled, and with the help of Tang Cheng's body as a shield, he secretly made a series of gestures to Tang Cheng.
This morning shop in Jiekou has been open for more than 2 months, the boss is Ma Ye's apprentice, no one knows that this morning shop in Jiekou is completely because of Tang Cheng and Zhang Jianghe, it was opened here. The sign language played by the sunspot made Tang Cheng flutter slightly, and he reached out and rubbed a handful of the sunspot's head, and Tang Cheng turned around and left as if nothing had happened. Whether it is Tang Cheng or Zhang Jianghe, for Chongqing, they are all outsiders.
Even if Zhang Jianghe is in a high position, he will inevitably be squeezed out by the local faction in the Chongqing intelligence station, let alone Tang Cheng, who is just a little sheriff. "Uncle, let's eat first!" Back in the small courtyard, Zhang Jianghe, who had already gotten up, was looking through the official document, and when he heard Tang Cheng's voice, Zhang Jianghe immediately put down the official document, stretched out his hand and pinched the bridge of his nose and walked out of the study slowly. "Uncle, if you want me to say, since the appointment in Nanjing is for you to be in charge of external operations, it is better to talk to those guys who are full of belly, and you can just form another action team."
Tang Cheng put the porridge bowl lightly in Zhang Jianghe's hand, raised his eyes to look at Zhang Jianghe, who was frowning, and Tang Cheng, who was sitting down across the table, said to Zhang Jianghe while peeling eggs. "You have the right to serve as the action captain at the level of deputy stationmaster, as long as you catch the Japanese spies lurking in Chongqing City, no one dares to deprive you of the credit of the deputy stationmaster. According to the Nanjing headquarters, whether you have the ability or the background, everything has to be done with merit. ”
Tang Cheng worked hard to explain, and Zhang Jianghe's expression was slightly better, but he didn't open up the situation for a long time, so that Zhang Jianghe's mood could not really get better. "It's not like I haven't thought about what you're talking about, but if I start from scratch and set up a task force, how will the funding be solved? How to solve the problem? There is also a compilation problem is also a **annoyance! Finally, after eating breakfast under Tang Cheng's persuasion, Zhang Jianghe's face was faintly sad.
Zhang Jianghe's complaint made Tang Cheng look sideways, Zhang Jianghe raised his head, and just met the white eyes of Tang Cheng rolling towards him. "Uncle, when you were in Nanjing, you weren't like this! Why has it only been three months since I came to Chongqing, and I am about to become a clay Buddha statue in the temple? Tang Cheng rolled his eyes at Zhang Jianghe, but at this moment, he began to ridicule Zhang Jianghe several times.
"Heizi, they came to Chongqing earlier than us, and with the help of Ma Ye, the ** lake, they have already figured out the situation in Shapingba. I've also been in contact with some old policemen who are not willing to work in the Shapingba Police Station these days, as long as you feel that the suggestion I just made is feasible, and I will solve the funding matter, so that the little people in your station can't find fault at all. Tang Cheng's voice paused, and at the same time raised his eyebrows at Zhang Jianghe.
Tang Cheng's character is not outstanding, but Zhang Jianghe knows that Tang Cheng is a character who dares to dig pits and bury people in the street, as long as he nods, maybe before it is time for lunch, Tang Cheng will be able to turn the entire Shapingba upside down. "Uncle, don't shake your head yet, you have to listen to me finish talking first!" Zhang Jianghe knew Tang Cheng, Tang Cheng also knew Zhang Jianghe, and seeing the corners of Zhang Jianghe's mouth falling, Tang Cheng knew that Zhang Jianghe would never agree with his thoughts about Shapingba, so he continued.
"Uncle, I'm also a sheriff now, so naturally I won't do anything about being a traitor. My suggestion is that we can start with the tobacco dealers, but the government has been banning smoking, and we are also upholding the government's laws and regulations by doing so! If the tobacco dealers are confiscated, the funds for setting up the action team will be solved, and there are still many bandits and bandits around Chongqing, which can become the target of our military training. As long as you choose the right target, funding and equipment will no longer be difficult, and with the available manpower, you will have weight in your words in the intelligence station. ”
What Tang Cheng said at the moment was not all his own thoughts, what he said at the moment was summarized after combining the opinions of Ma Ye and Zhang Xin. Tang Cheng's words made Zhang Jianghe fall into deep thought, and after half a sound, Zhang Jianghe spoke. "Things are not as simple as you say, after all, I am just a deputy stationmaster, although Xu Zifeng has only been the stationmaster of Chongqing for more than a year, but this person is good at winning over his subordinates, and there is a cousin who is a high-ranking official in the city government, if they rashly crack down on tobacco dealers, they will only think that we are breaking their financial route."
Zhang Jianghe's words contained deep meaning, and Tang Cheng already knew it in his heart as soon as he rolled his eyes. "Uncle, then let's just go straight to the bandits! There are also a lot of bandits around Chongqing, just knock out a few, and the confiscated property may be enough for you to form an action team, and this move can also make a name for yourself, which is a good thing to kill two birds with one stone. Tang Cheng continued to encourage Zhang Jianghe to go to the vicinity of Chongqing to suppress bandits, and without the support of the intelligence station, a small role like Tang Cheng would not be able to do it at all.
Zhang Jianghe looked at Tang Cheng expressionlessly, looking at Tang Cheng's reaction, Zhang Jianghe knew that his nephew must have a goal and a plan. Tang Cheng, who was stared at by Zhang Jianghe, would not feel embarrassed, and under Zhang Jianghe's eyes, Tang Cheng said with a smile. "One of Ma Ye's apprentices met a few Tufuzi a few days ago, according to those Tufuzi. Among the bandits around Chongqing, the weakest is Xu Bald, but this Xu Bald has a good life, and he only dug up an ancient tomb last month, and I heard that there are a lot of good things hidden in his hands. ”
Tang Cheng looked like he was going to eat black, and Zhang Jianghe, who listened, frowned secretly, but he didn't reprimand Tang Cheng with words, because Tang Cheng's motive for planning to eat black was not to put everything in his pocket. "Someone under Ma Ye is staring at this Xu Baldman, this goods have a good relationship in the city, maybe in just a few days, Xu Bald will bring people into the city to trade. When the time comes, we will block the door of his good friend's house, and the money and people will be ours. ”
There were still many loopholes in Tang Cheng's plan, but neither he nor Zhang Jianghe cared too much, after all, they had to deal with a bandit leader, not a thoughtful Japanese spy. After thinking about it for a while, Zhang Jianghe immediately nodded, "Okay, when you start arresting people, I'll send a few people to help you." However, when you move, don't make too much noise, and it's best not to shoot. ”
Zhang Jianghe finally listened to his suggestion, Tang Cheng secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, although he failed to promote the purpose of cleaning up Shapingba, but Tang Cheng knew that as long as he opened this head, the next thing would be easy to do. After breakfast, Zhang Jianghe went to the intelligence station to continue his shift, but Tang Cheng changed into civilian clothes and left the courtyard, he, the police chief, was more relaxed than the police chief, and he didn't have the heart to go to the police station every day to report.
Tang Cheng, who locked the courtyard gate, did not go to look for the sunspot, but changed the direction and walked slowly from the other end of the street. The path in Chongqing city is complicated, often walking on one road, there will suddenly be three or two forks in the road, Tang Cheng did not go to the police station for a long time, just to be familiar with the path and environment in Chongqing city. Tang Cheng's height and dress, at first glance, he was not a native of Chongqing, and when he turned into another street along the side street, Tang Cheng found that there were stalkers faintly behind him, and there was more than one person.
