After Chen Tianlei, commander of the Guizhong Military and Political Region, returned to Lane 48 from Luofengshan, he immediately sent people to invite Chen Bing, who had been wandering around Zhongdu, Nanliang, and Chengbei counties as bandits, and personally appointed him as the commander of the joint defense of the three counties and conferred the rank of colonel. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info and gave him some money and guns, asking him to quickly expand his men and territory. Then, Chen Tianlei went straight to Guo Lian, commander-in-chief of the joint command of the Hunan-Guizhou-Guizhou Border Region, near Lane 48 and near Longcheng, and together with Guo Lian, issued letters of appointment to the middle-level officers of his subordinate departments, conferring the rank of division commander, column commander, and colonel rank respectively. and sent people to send the letters of appointment to the second-line bandit leaders of other factions, and all of them were entrusted with positions and ranks.

Guo Lian carried the style of the head of the security regiment that year, lured by his prestige, recruited bandits from all walks of life, and became the bandit leader with the largest number of people, the widest range of activities, and the greatest influence for a time.

And Chen Bing, with money and guns, and his relationship with Chen Tianlei's uncle and nephew, as well as his familiarity with the local area, collected habitual bandits, remnant soldiers, and local ruffians and hooligans, and in just a few months, the headquarters expanded to more than 1,000 people, and suddenly became the most powerful bandit leader in the Nanliang area.

Bandits elsewhere have also exploded.

Suddenly, countless crows fell from the black ground around Dragon City, staring at greedy eyes and opening sharp mouths, wanting to eat people. Exactly: "The mountain rain is coming, the wind is full of buildings, and the black clouds are pressing the city and the city is about to be destroyed." ”

However, at this moment, there is no peace in Dragon City. The liaison stations, groups, columns, independent regiments, and gangs of bandits from all walks of life in the city are ready to move, and the drivers organize troubles and sabotage.

In the warehouse of the Longcheng Xinxing Rice Processing Factory, there are tall bags of rice on all sides, and in the open space in the middle, there is a large long table, around which are several benches, and on the main seat facing the door, there is a chair made of rattan. On the back chair sat a middle-aged man in his forties, looking like a businessman's boss, with a silver chain for a pocket watch hanging from his breast pocket, constantly shaking, and this man also had a small and delicate pipe in his mouth, from time to time spewing out of his mouth clumps of white smoke. The five or six people sitting on the bench were dressed in bag-carrying clothes, with towels around their necks to wipe their sweat, and a large teapot and a few bowls for drinking tea were placed on the table in front of them.

This boss-like person is none other than Su Shigui, deputy commander of the joint command of the Guizhou-Guizhou Border Region and commander of the 11th Column. He is a nail that Liang Qingqiu specially planted in Dragon City to do internal response. The others were all Su Shigui's subordinates.

Su Shigui took a small cloth bag from under the table and threw it on the table, "Smack!" With a crisp sound, the mouth of the cloth bag spread out, revealing a silver dollar with white flowers.

"I said, Brother Ma, what's wrong with your gun? I didn't even have any money spent. Commander Liang was urging tightly, saying that there was no gun to pull what team? We are all lagging behind, and we can't get that 'three-county joint defense commander' Chen Bing to develop quickly. Commander Liang was very dissatisfied and asked us to hurry up. Su Shigui said with a pipe in his mouth.

The man called Brother Ma asked someone to bring a sack, remove the things from the table, and put the sack on the table. Then, lifting the sack and pulling it up, there was a "clang" sound, and four or five spears and three shell guns fell onto the table. Ma Ge said: "It took a lot of effort to receive so much from those stragglers on the black market. ”

Su Shigui picked up a rifle, pulled the bolt, looked into the chamber, and then touched it with his hand, his fingers were all stained with rust, "Phew! He scolded: "Damn! Can this gun be fired? Brother Ma said: "Wipe it with gun oil, and it can still be used." Su Shigui waved his hand and said, "Okay!" Take care of these weapons and send them out as soon as possible. Take the money on the table, change it to a black old road at the east gate, and get some good goods back. ”

Su Shigui said to another subordinate, Ah Qi: "Ah Qi, you are responsible for contacting other rice shops, raising the price of rice, and publicizing it to the outside world that the money is not worth much now, of course, the price of grain will rise." We have to do this secretly, so that the Communists don't find out about us. ”

"Don't worry, boss! Guaranteed to be done seamlessly. "Ah Qidao.

"Boss, we took the risk of raising the price of rice, and the money we made was not as much as the money made by the liaison station of the Secret Bureau, have you heard? The liaison station of the Secret Bureau is very rich, and they have a template on hand, which is specially printed **, and the money is the same as the real thing. They were rich, and many other brothers in the gang were bribed by them and listened to them. With that thing, the power of the Secret Bureau's liaison station is getting bigger and bigger. One of his subordinates reflected.

"Where did they get the template?" Su Shigui asked.

"I heard that it was airdropped from Taiwan."

"Damn, they are all members of the party-state, why do they have exclusive access to what the party-state gives? I think we also score points, this money belongs to everyone, boss, don't you say? Brother Ma said unconvinced.

"That's right! This template is everyone's. We borrowed the template and used it, which is a matter of course, and I don't think the Secret Service will not refuse to give it, right? That's it! Su Shigui slammed his fist on the table.

"Wow! So we also have money. Several of his subordinates suddenly became excited.

Dragon City Baoxing Hotel is located on a main street in the south of the city. Not far ahead, there is a three-way intersection, a road on the right leads to the Longtan Mountains, and a straight road leads to the southeast mountains. The traffic here is very convenient, and people from all walks of life come and go frequently. Due to its location, there are many people staying at this hotel.

On this day, two people walked into the hotel. A man of about forty years old, wearing a melon skin hat and a pair of black cloth shoes with white soles, is of medium stature, has an extraordinary bearing, and has the taste of a local tyrant and businessman all over his body, and carries a suitcase in his hand. Another entourage was dressed like a bodyguard, with five big and three thick, and his face was very fierce. The person carrying the suitcase is called Chen Wei, and the person who looks like a bodyguard is called Zhang Zhaoqiang, and the two are the leaders of a group of bandits in the nearby southeastern mountains.

Chen Wei looked around the hotel. The first floor of the hotel is a restaurant, and the outside of the second floor facing the door of the restaurant on the first floor is a private room made of wood that opens to the outside.

"Where do the two bosses live? Or eating? When the shopkeeper saw someone coming in, he hurriedly greeted him.

The two of them didn't answer, and walked straight forward, up the wooden staircase, up to the second floor, and straight to the counter. Seeing this, the shopkeeper on the first floor took off the towel on his shoulder, slapped it on his arm, and shouted upstairs: "Two, go upstairs to stay in the store!" A young student upstairs greeted the two.

"Two in-house?"

"Let's talk to your boss about some business." Chen Wei said as he looked around.

"You are ......"

"My surname is Chen, Chen Wei."

"I'm Zhang Zhaoqiang."

"Ahh It's Boss Chen and Boss Zhang, please follow me. Our boss is waiting for the two of them. Xiao Sheng glanced at the shopkeeper downstairs, the shopkeeper understood, walked to the door and glanced out, there was nothing abnormal, turned around, patted his body with a towel, and then, busy wiping the dining table near the door, his eyes observed the movement outside the door from time to time.
