Chapter 13: Changing Guards (58)

On 1 February, Director Sun Chengsun took office.

Sitting in the position of the police chief of Tongcheng County, Director Sun Cheng and Director Sun were mushy at the head. How can I get such a good position, is it the green smoke from the ancestral grave, or the dog shit when walking.

In the police station, as usual, the god seat of the second brother Guan is enshrined, Sun Cheng did not dare to slack off, washed his hands and bathed, burned paper and knelt down in front of the second brother Guan's god seat, and then swore a blood oath with all the colleagues in the police station. When you are a policeman, you rely on the help of your brothers, and if you don't have your own people, you won't be sharp with a knife.

In the afternoon, the police station set up wine to catch the wind for the chief, and although Sun Cheng thanked the brothers a lot, he did not dare to take an extra sip because there were other arrangements. In the evening, Sun Cheng came to the turn of South Street and East Street early, prepared a banquet in the No. 1 box of Yichun Restaurant, and invited several key people to dinner.

The earliest to come is Modi. Mo Di took Zhou Shiming, at the door of the box, and saw Sun Cheng who was restless, and he was immediately happy, this kid has been the director for a day, and he seems to be a little undecided! Seeing Mo Di, Sun Cheng stood up like a spring, rushed to the door of the box in three steps and two jumps, and shouted: "Boss, boss, this police chief must have been arranged by you, you have to tell me, how could it be me?" ”

"Who else could it be, if not?" Mo Di smiled and said: "Although you are only my guard captain, you have always been arranged to have a position in Shizhong's guard battalion, and your military rank has also been promoted to captain, and you have become the chief of police. ”

"Half a grid, that's completely different." Sun Cheng shouted: "How many people are in a guard battalion, how many people are in a Tongcheng County!" Boss, you know, I'm a Qianshan person, and being able to serve as the police chief in Tongcheng is a big event for the glory of the ancestors. I'm still dreaming, I don't think it's real, and today, sitting on the throne of the police chief, I pinched myself several times. ”

"Hahahaha." Mo Die laughed, pulled Sun Cheng to the official hat chair by the window and sat down, and said: "If nothing else, I will leave Tongcheng in April to participate in the supplementary training held by the Sixth Branch of the Central Military Academy in June for one year." A year later, no one dares to say whether he will be able to return to Tongcheng again. You are the last of you to follow me, and you must make proper arrangements before you go. This time it was a coincidence, and it happened that the police chief was vacant, and this position was suitable for you, so I made the decision without asking for your consent before. If you're not satisfied, don't blame me, I'll adjust it later. ”

"No blame, no blame, I'm so satisfied, it's too late to be happy." Sun Cheng said: "I knew that you were going to participate in supplementary training, but I always thought that our entire guard would go to Guilin with the boss." Oh, by the way, boss, aren't you going to bring someone over when you go to the remedial training? ”

"The road is long, and it is troublesome to pass through the Japanese-occupied area." Mo Di said: "I plan, just me and your sister-in-law, set off early, pretend to be tourists, go all the way, spend two months, tour the mountains and rivers, and arrive in Guilin before the start of school." ”

"That's a way to do it." Sun Cheng said: "Boss, you have to plan well, be careful all the way, no one is around, don't go wrong." ”

Mo Di nodded and said, "If it was half a year ago, I was single and widowed, and I would have left, but now it is different, getting married and starting a family, having a family and having a family will have family responsibilities, and there are some things to think about." Even if I bring your sister-in-law back to Guilin, the Zhou family still has to live in Tongcheng, and putting you in Tongcheng will also trouble you to take care of it. With you in Tongcheng, the two of us can go with peace of mind. ”

Sun Cheng stood up and said uprightly: "Boss, please rest assured, I am in Tongcheng, and I will never let people have any covetousness for the Zhou Mansion." ”

Hearing the conversation between Mo Di and Sun Cheng, Zhou Shiming, who was sitting quietly on the side, was excited, his little face was flushed, his own brother Fu was very good to himself, he loved the house and Wu, and he was so concerned about his home, and he was so concerned about his home, so if he had a husband, what else could he ask for! Suddenly, a thought welled up in her heart, was it that when Liu Ruyan's house was making trouble, Mo Di already had a plan to push Sun Cheng out, and ask him when she was free. Zhou Shiming is thinking too much, Mo Enemy can't be so immortal, he has long had the idea of arranging Sun Cheng to take up a half-official position in Tongcheng, but he has no bottom in his heart about what position to arrange, he just feels that with Wei Jiqing and Jiang Hongxi, even if he can't arrange a full-time director, it shouldn't be too difficult to arrange a deputy director. Liu Ruyan's family made trouble, and Mo Di asked people to beat the uncle of the Liu family, just to knock on the mountain and shock the tiger, as for where the tiger was, I didn't know before, there was only one unformed idea, where the tiger fell, it took advantage of the situation. Unexpectedly, when the sleepy met the pillow, it hit the police chief directly. Wei Jiqing took down the police chief, and there was a vacancy, so Mo Di hurriedly pushed out Sun Cheng, and at this time, Sun Cheng was still escorting the goods in Anqing.

After a while, Zhou Mengxiong, who came from Kong Town, walked in with Su Tingxun, and saw Mo Di with Zhou Shiming, Zhou Mengxiong smiled and said: "Tianzong has a little daughter-in-law, we have to pay attention to the image of the wine table, and we can't be rude in front of the lady." ”

Mo Di smiled and said: "It's okay, it's all your Zhou family, whatever you like to say, whatever." ”

Zhou Mengxiong laughed: "Since they are all members of the Zhou family, they were one family five hundred years ago. Seeing that Miss Xiao Zhou is not very old, I guess it is more appropriate to call me uncle. After that, he turned his head to Mo Di and said: "You married the daughter of our Zhou family, and you are a generation shorter than me. Without waiting for Mo Di to answer, he looked up at Changtian and sighed: "God opens his eyes, finally one day Mo Tianzong will bow down in front of me, and he will be really happy." ”

"Phew!" Outside the door, the county magistrate Wei Jiqing walked in, with his wife, and behind him was Jiang Hongxi, who also took his wife. The county magistrate of Wei said to Zhou Mengxiong disdainfully: "When we have a relationship with the Tianzong brothers, do we all have to bow down in front of your Uncle Zhou?" ”

"Hahahaha, that's not a dare." Zhou Mengxiong laughed: "But thinking about it, you Weida County Magistrate can bow down in front of me and become a junior, I am also quite proud." ”

Zhou Mengxiong is more familiar with Wei Jiqing, the two of them came to Tongcheng at about the same time, one is in charge of the government, the other is in charge of the army, the cooperation is quite tacit, and the conversation is more casual.

"Is that why I also want to bow down in front of you, and you are more proud?" Su Tingxun on the side said.

Everyone laughed, Su Tingxun was nearly ten years older than Zhou Mengxiong, and the joke was a bit big.

As soon as the county magistrate's wife and the director's wife arrived, they talked to Zhou Shiming together, three women and one Wei, although one of them was still a girl, but Cheng Wei's ability was not a lot at all, talking about marriage, talking about children, talking about seasonal new clothes, and talking about a bunch of things.

"Shiming, your new house is in the Zhou family, so do you still have a kiss?" Mrs. Wei asked.

"I don't plan to pick it up, Brother Fu said, everything starts with Jane, and when the auspicious time comes, I will get married at home. At noon, our relatives and friends of the Zhou family had a banquet at our house, and the two of us accompanied us to toast a round of wine. At three o'clock in the afternoon, a banquet was held in the escort camp, and the man's relatives and friends were all eating in the escort camp. Brother Fu and I must rush to the guard camp before three o'clock, have fun with everyone, and when it's over, I will return to West Street with Brother Fu. Zhou Shiming said. It's really something new.

"Is it arranged in two places because there are too many people to arrange it?" Madame Chiang asked.

"Yes." Zhou Shiming replied: "In the past two days, I have been receiving telegrams that people from Lu'an, Yuexi, Taihu, Wangjiang, Qianshan, Shipai, and Lujiang will come, plus the local ones in Tongcheng, and there are thirty tables at the main seat of the Guanghu military camp. ”

Hearing this number, both Mrs. Jiang and Mrs. Wei took a breath of cool air.

The three women talk energetically together, and the five men also talk emotionally together. County Magistrate Wei Jiqing grabbed Mo Di with one hand and Sun Cheng with the other, and kept saying, "You guys have done me a great favor this time." ”

Mo Di looked at Wei Jiqing puzzled, not knowing what he meant.

"If it weren't for Tianzong's decisive action, my position as the county magistrate would have almost been pried." Wei Jiqing's words made everyone present listen to the book of heaven.

It turned out that unconsciously, a coup d'état in Tongcheng disappeared invisibly. Speaking of which, there is one more person involved, that is, the former county magistrate of Tongcheng and Wei Jiqing's predecessor Luo Chengjun. Luo Chengjun is a native of Jingxi County, Guangxi, 54 years old this year, the first half of his life is ambitious, the second half of his life is busy, the former Qing Dynasty Guangxu years into the Guangxi Jiangwutang Infantry Section, the Republic of China 11 years (1922), the 34-year-old Luo Chengjun was promoted to the deputy of the lieutenant colonel regiment, and later served as the deputy commander of the militia regiment, the head of the regiment, and the colonel's chief of staff. After turning the army into politics, there was no promotion, in Guangxi successively served as the magistrate of Zhenbian County, Xining County and other counties, in the 27th year of the Republic of China, Luo Chengjun, who was over 50 years old, did not know who was fooled or put the wrong line in his head, and actually left his hometown and asked to be transferred to Tongcheng, Anhui Province as the county magistrate.

After Luo Chengjun took office, he also made a bold move to make Tongcheng a mess, first established a student corps with Chen Dingyi, a member of the Red Party, and others, to carry out anti-Japanese guerrilla attacks in Tongcheng, and to reduce rent and interest in the county. The most famous thing is to shoot Guangxiangjiu, Zhou Songru and others, who are local magnates in Tongcheng, and scared the squires in Tongcheng to talk about Luo Se. Luo Chengjun lives a simple life, is honest and honest, does not ride a horse, does not sit in a sedan chair, does not bring an entourage, likes straw hats and shoes, and pays private visits to micro-clothes. In March of the 29th year of the Republic of China, Shangfeng transferred Luo Chengjun out of Tongcheng on the grounds of ineffective demolition of the city wall, and the student corps was also disbanded, and Chen Dingyi, the main person in charge of the cadet corps, also went to Huanzi Lake and became the company commander under Liu Renkai, while Xu Yifu, Fang Kede, Ye Tongfen and others left Tongcheng and joined the Jiangbei Column of the New Fourth Army. Last autumn, Luo Chengjun appeared in Tongcheng again, colluded with the old ministry, claimed to have the support of Lihuang's old friends and key figures in Anhui Province, and was ready to pry Wei Jiqing over and take charge of the Tongcheng government again. Unexpectedly, with a palm of his hand, Mo Di took off Luo Chengjun's right-hand man, the backbone of the former student corps, and the current police chief, and Luo Chengjun's plan collapsed suddenly.

Wei Jiqing said hatefully: "This Luo, you must not let him leave Tongcheng, just let him stay under Lao Tzu's nose and make a miserable living, it is not easy for him to survive, he can't die, see what else he can to pry Lao Tzu's throne." ”

Jiang Hongxi shook his head and said that Wei Jiqing was not kind, but he was actually the first of the top ten villains in Tongcheng. Wei Jiqing was also unambiguous, pointing to the people present and asking Jiang Hongxi: "In addition to the six here, who are the other four?" ”

The crowd laughed.

Sun Cheng has the least qualifications, although he is the master, but he does not dare to sit on the main seat, everyone pushes Su Tingxun to the first place, Mo Di sits in the first place on the left, Jiang Hongxi sits in the first place on the left, next to Mo Di sits Zhou Mengxiong, Jiang Hongxi's head sits Wei Jiqing, and the bottom is Sun Cheng.

The three ladies unanimously refused to serve the table, and Sun Cheng made a dining table on the square coffee table near the window, one facing the window, and the other three sides, one side had a rosewood official hat chair, which also looked magnificent. Divide each dish on the big table into a small plate, serve a pot of glutinous rice and seal the jar wine, and let them talk about their topics there.

During the whole meal, Sun Cheng barely ate a bite, holding a copper kettle, adding wine and cloth dishes around the table, painful and happy. He knew that in Tongcheng County, in addition to the few people in front of him, it would be his turn to count down. As soon as he thought of this, he poured the wine, which was particularly full, very stable, and particularly crisp.
