As night fell, the sky grew darker.

In these days, people don't have nightlife, and they all rest early.

Xiao Mubai sat at the table, staring at a map, next to an oil lamp.

Nanling is only a small remote county, and there is no electric light company, and everyone uses oil lamps for lighting.

Although Xiao Mubai is not used to it, he can only adapt to it, which can be regarded as following the local customs.

Xiao Mubai didn't rest just now, but just went out of the house and came to the study.

In the face of the Zhou family, Xiao Mubai was always a little uncomfortable, so he came out under the pretext.

Zhou was not surprised, as if it had always been like this.

A woman whose husband doesn't have much affection, but he doesn't have any resentment and doesn't seem to care about anything.

When he went out, Zhou didn't sleep, just looked at the account book in the house.

In the study at this moment, Xiao Mubai was staring at the map, thinking about Dong Chengong.

The map is a map of Wuhu, including several places in Nanling, Tongling, Xuancheng, where the Yangtze River is clear, as well as the Zhanghe River and the Qingge River.

Xiao Mubai looked at the map, after the Japanese army captured Nanjing, they attacked all the way along the Yangtze River and conquered Wuhu, Anqing was also close at hand, and Jiujiang was below.

If the Jiujiang River goes down, it will be Wuhan, and in six months, the Japanese army will capture Wuhan.

The Xuzhou side was the Central China Dispatch Army of the Japanese Army, and after the Battle of Xuzhou, the Central China Dispatch Army joined the Wuhan Raider.

When the Japanese army conquered Wuhu, it stopped.

The system intelligence said that there would be an attack by the Japanese army in the near future, but it did not say where the attack would be, and Xiao Mubai estimated that it was along the Yangtze River.

Nanling is not far from the Yangtze River, and the nearest distance is more than 30 kilometers.

Anqing fell in mid-June, and the Japanese army was still some time away from capturing Anqing.

Anqing was garrisoned by the 27th Group Army of the Yang Sen Department of the Sichuan Army, and there were no large troops in the rest of the region.

Anqing is more than 80 kilometers away from Nanling, so Nanling can't count on Anqing, and Anqing will not care about these small places.

The Japanese army will soon attack the banks of the Yangtze River to clear the way for the attack on Anqing, and the current situation is like this.

Dong Chengong has someone in the province, and he can't say that there are people, but it's just a power and money transaction, otherwise he wouldn't have been the head of the security regiment for so long.

The security regiment is the county's security guard, and a thousand guns can be said to be strong.

As far as Li Chongwen knows, Tongling's security regiment only has 600 guns, and Dong Chengong can be said to be ambitious.

Dong Chengong is a member of the regiment under the rule of the Beiyang government, and he knows a few words at most, and later during the Northern Expedition of the National Revolutionary Army, he was promoted when he stood in line for a while.

Recklessly didn't ask where it came from, Dong Chengong was very prosperous in Wuhu, obviously he didn't build it.

Xiao Mubai thought about how to bring him down, maybe to get rid of him, so where to start.

The Nanling Security Corps has protected the territory and the people, and in recent years, the township has been peaceful, not to mention how much effort it has made, and it has not bullied men and women on the surface, nor has it done anything to force good people to become prostitutes.

But the Dong family's business is becoming more and more prosperous, why is this.

Li Chongwen has been in the army for a long time and doesn't know much about family affairs in the countryside, but he also knows that the rise of the family is not easy.

The local family business is nothing more than a shop and a paddy field, just two things.

The Dong family has a huge power, not only in Nanling, but also in Wuhu and Anqing, and also has some industries.

But before, a few years ago, the strength of the Dong family was not very good, and even in Nanling, they couldn't afford to be on the stage.

But in recent years, it has skyrocketed, and there is clearly something wrong with this.

Opium, or smuggling tobacco, Xiao Mubai immediately thought of it.

The Nanjing government is openly prohibiting drugs, but many military forces will sell drugs, and private individuals can participate in it, which is not simple.

Didn't do anything, it's more profitable than this, so when you explain it this way, everything makes sense.

The security corps must have joined in, and even became the main force transporting tobacco and soil.

If it weren't for this, how could the security regiment have so many troops, far more than the neighboring counties.

Nanling is not visible and does not leak, and there is no attention from big people, so it seems that it is best to do this.

Xiao Mubai remembered that since he took office for more than a month, Dong Chengong didn't let him do anything, just offered it like a Buddha.

Li Chongwen was set aside, and the personnel and salary training of the security regiment were not allowed to do anything.

Not only that, but a courtyard in the west of the city, where the stronghold of the city defense battalion, was the stronghold of the city defense battalion, and Li Chongwen had never been there.

The city defense battalion is under the establishment of a security regiment, with 300 guns, and they are usually in the city.

Li Chongwen has been in office for more than a month, but he has not found any major incidents in the Chengdong military camp, but he has found a lot of small incidents.

For example, in the field, the security team often conducts it, about once a week.

Then, supplies will be sent over, sent to the barracks to keep some of, and then sent to the city for storage.

Among these supplies, there must be tobacco and soil, and Dong Chengong uses this way to carry out smuggling activities.

The smuggling of the security regiment is equivalent to the police department of the Ministry of Armed Forces in later generations, and the government department knowingly committed it.

Xiao Mubai felt that he had discovered a secret.

However, it doesn't seem to be of any use to the eggs.

The water is very deep, some of the people above may know, and Dong Chen is respectful, and the relationship is very deep, so hehe.

These inferences were deduced by Xiao Mubai, but Li Chongwen had also noticed it before, but he didn't think about it after all.

Thinking of this, it is worth the trip today, but it seems useless.

During the Republic of China, the government was not clear, and the relationship was very complicated, and now that the Japanese have come in, the anti-narcotics department of the provincial government has not bothered to pay attention to it.

The road on the bright side is useless, and you can't take off Dong Chengong's official hat.

Is it necessary to directly seize power, which is not good for a government official. And Dong Chengong has a gun in his hand, how can he take it openly.

If you secretly do it, you may want to think about it.

But if he Dong Chengong dies, will anyone doubt Li Chongwen. And it is important to know to whom the post of head of the security regiment will fall.

The security regiment is now, the head of the regiment is Dong Chengong, and the two regiment deputies are deputies. If Dong Chengong dies, the deputy of the regiment may take over, and the county police chief may also take over.

The consequences are unknown, but it can be manipulated, and Li Chongwen's relationship can also be played.

Li Chongwen is also related, in the security department of the provincial government, there is a senior of the sixth phase of the Whampoa Military Academy.

Before, Li Chongwen didn't understand people and didn't have a relationship.

So now, it's different, Li Chongwen can't do it, it doesn't mean that Xiao Mubai can't do it.

If you take action, then you have to make a perfect plan.

Dong Chengong is nearly thirty-five or sixteen years old, and when he is in the prime of life, there are guards around him from time to time, and he stays at home many times and does not go out much.

This also means that Xiao Mubai has few opportunities to do it.

Dong Chengong died, unless he died at the hands of bandits, died at the hands of bandits with names and surnames, and was seen with his own eyes, this would not attract attention.

The sky was dark, the light of the oil lamp was dim, Xiao Mubai's body was hidden in the dark, and the face against it was also flickering and dark.

The corners of his mouth outlined a trace of arc, and a trace of killing intent was inadvertently revealed.
