Volume 1 The End of the World Chapter 88 Zhao'an's Trip (II)
"yes, yes!"
Lu Zhengde nodded again and again, and then worried: "It's not easy to be a bandit these days, and if you don't pay attention, you will be wiped out!" In this way, the third child may be able to persuade a few waves of people, if they are not willing to join the army with you, we Mao Liangwu are also willing to take them in, anyway, we also need to have an army to protect ourselves. β
"When the hydropower station, the ** factory, the bullet factory and the ordnance factory are built in the next step, there will be no five hundred brothers to guard Maoliangwu, we will not be at ease!"
"What's going on with Brother Lei Qi?" Wu Ming asked.
Lu Zhengde shook his head: "The She people are not in harmony, your eldest brother Lei Qi was angry, and led the whole village of men, women and children alone to build two villages in the north and south of Phoenix Mountain. β
"Now, nearly 1,000 of your brother Lei Qi's clansmen have lived in bright and sturdy new houses, cultivated land for farming, and built a thirty-mile carriage road leading directly to the north entrance of our village. It's okay now, the other dozen or so cottages went to your brother Lei Qi to ask to join the gang, and your brother Lei Qi was angry that they were not righteous and didn't agree. β
"Later, the old patriarch led a group of leaders to find me and your second uncle to plead, and took the initiative to send eighty young men to join the militia...... We don't dare to accept it, if we accept it, your big brother Lei Qi will have no prestige, alas! This matter is troublesome, I'm afraid it can only be solved after you go back, you have done so many things for the She people, and the She people know in their hearts that they will sell you face. β
It seems that the worries will never be resolved.
Not long after noon, the fleet arrived in Changshan, police chief Li Simin received an urgent report, threw down his rice bowl, and flew to the dock, the new county magistrate Xia Weijun soon arrived, and after seeing the ceremony, he accompanied Wu Ming to send fifteen large boxes of dowry gifts to the city of Zhongfang, and then respectfully said goodbye.
Wu Ming didn't delay long in Changshan, he saw the two elders and the three aunts and six women, and after lunch with the brothers, he said goodbye to the two elders and rushed to Yushan, Lu Zhengde and the two old brothers rode on the high-headed horse sent by the police station, and followed Wu Ming and his party to the west.
After three stops on the 80-kilometer journey, Wu Ming and his entourage passed through the border of Jiangxi and Zhejiang and Yushan County, which were lined with checkpoints, and finally entered Shangrao County at 8 o'clock in the evening.
After inspecting the certificate issued by the Western Zhejiang Security Headquarters and Wu Ming's certificate, the officers and men defending the city saluted very happily and let them go, envious of the American submachine guns and Colt pistols that Wu Ming and his party wore all over their bodies, and when the horses carrying two light machine guns, two mortars, and four boxes of ammunition passed over, the officers and men at the city gate were already dumbfounded.
Wu Ming didn't stay in the inn in the city, nor did he bother the Shangrao Administration and the security headquarters here, but led the brothers through the city, and came to the commercial port area full of Qinglou restaurants outside the east gate, and stayed in the most luxurious "Yongsheng Inn" in between.
After a little washing, more than 30 people entered the front hall that was about to close, and the innkeeper was probably used to being bullied by the soldiers, so he came to Lu Zhengde in a low manner, and reported in a panic that the good things were gone, and now there was only a pool of river fish and two sheep in the backyard.
"Then slaughter a sheep, burn a few more fish, four tables of brothers, you watch the food, don't worry about me not giving money, if you want it now, I can give it to you immediately."
Although Lu Zhengde, who has begun to get rich, has a rough appearance, he is actually very good at talking, especially after becoming the head of Maoliangwu Village as the boss, the gangsterism on his body has disappeared a lot, if you don't look at his face with a big scar, he looks like a rich man.
How dare the shopkeeper ask for money now? glanced at more than 30 heavily armed and murderous soldiers, and hurriedly ran into the back kitchen, shouting to the chef to slaughter the sheep.
The brothers of the spy platoon, who were deeply influenced by Wu Ming, were very quiet, and they formed a habit of whispering to each other, and they did not have the usual style of officers and soldiers who were the best in the world, so the entire front hall was quite quiet.
The rest of the guests at the window table just glanced at Wu Ming and the gang, and then continued to talk. Looking at the temperament of the two of them, they seem to be well-informed characters with heads and faces in Shangrao, and the two of them have no fear of being soldiers.
The two guests at the window table had obviously drunk a little too much, and one of them loudly refuted the other's words: "What is the birthday banquet of the old lady Zhang in Guangfeng City?" Even if you set up a banquet with 200 tables, you will be a rich man at most! Let me tell you, the day before yesterday, brother, I was fortunate to receive a post sent by Commissioner Wang, and rushed to Huanggu Town with half a carriage of gifts to pay respects, but I queued for an hour before I squeezed through the crowd of gift-givers under the escort of officers and soldiers, and it took a lot of effort to enter the main hall of Old Man Chen. β
"You would never have imagined that the three generals in the hall who came from Nanchang City to congratulate the birthday were personally accompanied by the second young master of the Chen family, the treasures in the main hall were piled up, the red candles on the incense case were piled up, and the left and right walls were full of calligraphy and paintings of the famous family in the province to celebrate the birthday, and the dishes were exquisite flowing water seats, from the front street to the back street, thousands of people raised their glasses and drank together, the grand occasion was unprecedented, and they were only seen in their lives!"
"OMG! The whole city has been talking about this for the past few days, and the younger brother originally thought it was a good thing and exaggerated it, but he didn't expect it to be true. The one was finally convinced.
The showy Ha Luha smiled and continued to show off his knowledge: "It is the ancestor of the old man Chen who is well buried and gave birth to two good sons, the eldest son of the old man Chen, Chen Bo'an, many people don't know the way, that is the proud protΓ©gΓ© of Chairman Jiang, but unfortunately he died in Wuchang City back then, if he is still alive, at least he is a general!" β
"Old man Chen's second son, Chen Zhongkang, everyone knows that the current chief of the third section of the Nanchang Xingying General Office, I heard that Chairman Jiang paid attention to it when he first saw the second young master of the Chen family, and after learning that the second young master was the younger brother of his proud protΓ©gΓ© who died in battle, his eyes turned red on the spot, and he immediately transferred the second young master from the Jiangxi Provincial Party Department to his side, and entrusted him with the important task of the chief of the third section of the Nanchang Xingying General Office, so this time Chairman Jiang personally wrote a letter to Old Man Chen to congratulate him on his birthday!"
Another high-fived and sighed: "I said, why is the city gate so strictly checked these days, and the cars and horses that are rarely seen on weekdays are coming in and out endlessly, I'm afraid they are all here to congratulate Old Man Chen on his birthday, and Old Man Chen should also be pleased!" β
"That's right! In the past two years, he has donated funds to run a school and spent as much as 200,000 yuan, and also rebuilt more than 30 miles of avenues from the north of the city to Huanggu Town, and funded dozens of poor students in the county to study in universities in Nanchang and Nanjing, which are deeply supported by the people! β
Lu Zhengde's father and son and Dai Ziran couldn't help but feel a little strange when they saw Wu Ming's expression in a trance and motionless, Lu Kuiyuan was just about to talk to Wu Ming, but was stopped by Lu Zhengde.
Wu Ming quickly came back to his senses, shook his head and smiled bitterly, and silently picked up the teacup: "What are you looking at me for?" I just listened to it interestingly, and I thought it was very ...... that there were such good people in Shangrao Very lucky. β
Dai Ziran also appreciated: "Yes, it seems that the old man Chen in the mouth of those two people is a great enlightened gentry, not only raised two good sons, but also donated a huge amount of money to benefit Sangzi. β
The other brothers also whispered, but the leader of Lu Da thought of Wu Ming's legendary experience.
You must know that Wu Ming's "lone wolf" bandit name is to kill two officers single-handedly, and then kill himself in the backyard of the Chen family under the heavy round-up and successful revenge, breaking out of the huge reputation of the black and white of the mighty black and white, although now he has become the head of the Zhejiang security forces, but the reputation of the "lone wolf" is absolutely effective, if Wu Ming is willing to show the bandit, no one in the rivers and lakes of Jiangxi, Zhejiang, Anhui and Fujian provinces dares not to give him face?
Lu Zhengde didn't know the other inside information, and when he saw the sadness in Wu Ming's eyes that had not gone away for a long time, he didn't dare to ask, so he had to sigh slightly and ask Wu Ming's opinion in a low voice:
"Take a look, do you take this opportunity to sweep the grave of your old lady by the way? You can't come back from Hangzhou with your troops during the Qingming Festival this year, and we don't dare to move. β
Wu Ming thought for a while: "Okay, since you're here, you have to go and see, otherwise I don't know what year and month Lu Dao will come back." β
"Big brother, there's no need to be so sad...... Shangrao is actually more than 100 kilometers away from our Quzhou, the big highway between the two provinces has been repaired, and the railway will be repaired in a year or two. Lu Kuiyuan said with a smile.
Lu Zhengde immediately darkened his face: "You know a fart!" Go, urge the shopkeeper, the sheep and fish can't come up for a while, how difficult is it to serve a few side dishes? Just go! β
"Yes......"
