Chapter 689: Chen Ergou Gatekeeper (I)

Zhang Qingshan promoted Zhao Shanhe to the commander of the new assault company among the many company and platoon commanders, mainly because he took a fancy to his two abilities: wit and boldness and carefulness!

And Zhao Shanhe also proved with his own actions that he was worthy of Zhang Qingshan's promotion.

When Zhang Qingshan led the team to rest at the Eagle's Beak Cliff, the assault company ignored its own fatigue and continued to set off towards the county seat of Longfeng County.

According to the intelligence and the guidance of the guide, the inspection of the county seat of Longfeng County in recent days has been extremely strict, and it is easy to blend in, but it is difficult to bring in the box cannon on everyone's body.

Zhao Shanhe only asked one question: How do the two devils in the county seat of Longfeng County usually search their bodies?

When I learned that although the two devils couldn't see money in the past, the money they found in the body search was basically put into their pockets. But in recent days, perhaps because they knew that their main force was going to attack Qinglong Mountain and lose the county, so at the gate of the county seat, there were little devils supervising them in recent days, and they did not dare to be as in the past, in line with the principle of 'taking people's money and eliminating disasters with people', and unscrupulously as long as they received money and didn't care about anything else.

Zhao Shanhe laughed when he heard this, and others asked him why he was laughing? Aren't you worried? Zhao Shanhe replied with one sentence: "Dogs can't change eating!"

What happened next proved Zhao Shanhe's judgment on human nature: Money moves people's hearts! The two devils in the greedy county town of Longfeng County, in the face of all kinds of oppression by the little devils, they did not dare to resist, but for the sake of money, they had enough courage to dare to resist anyone who hindered their wealth. The key is whether your money is worth it.

Of course, Zhao Shanhe, who had been prepared for a long time, naturally had a way to deal with it.

He first asked the soldiers below to disguise themselves as woodcutters, fishermen, workers and other ordinary people, without guns and money, and solemnly blended into the county seat of Longfeng County from the four big city gates.

And he himself took the last fifteen people, under the 'equipment' prepared in advance by the local county guerrilla brigade, disguised as a funeral procession, and cried all the way to the south gate of the county seat...... These 'equipment' are not just being prepared today, but have already begun to be prepared a few days ago when Zhang Qingshan proposed to attack the three county towns at the same time, but they have only been postponed until now to come in handy.

And here is a reflection of Zhao Shanhe's personal ability is three details: first, in the eyes of ordinary people, for people in the county, funerals are generally buried outside from the county seat. And carrying people from outside the county to the county is very eye-catching, and it is easier to arouse the suspicion of others. However, Zhao Shanhe had already thought of an excuse, and it was a local custom: if a rich and powerful family member died in a foreign enemy, in line with the principle of returning to the roots, it was necessary to transport the dead back to their hometown for burial. At the same time, a three- or seven-day mourning ceremony must be held at home. In this way, this kind of behavior that goes the opposite way is reassuring. What's more, among the fifteen people left by Zhang Qingshan, only two are local, and the rest are all from other places, which reflects Zhao Shanhe's boldness and carefulness: if most of the people who come back are local, it will arouse the suspicion of others - if you bring a dead person back from other places, most of the filial sons are local, which is not in accordance with the law.

The second detail is: Zhao Shanhe knew that he couldn't speak, and once the other party opened the coffin for an autopsy, it would be easy for someone who was not calm enough to 'cheat the corpse', which would be a big trouble, so he personally went into the mountain formation and became a 'dead man'. For this reason, he also deliberately sprinkled a layer of lime in the coffin, and even smeared a lot of lime on his face—otherwise, how could the corpse be kept from rotting for a short time when it was brought back from a distance?

At the same time, he pretended to be a filial son of the two carefully selected locals, and the other was a man who could speak the Tao from time to time.

The last point: Everyone sees on TV crying when they are close to the city gate, but Zhao Shanhe, in order to most truly reflect everyone's sadness and become more and more real, asks everyone to cry for a while every other way, especially when approaching the city gate. What's more, even if you don't have tears, you have to find a way to squeeze out a few tears, and the best way is to touch the ginger water - you can't do it without tears, and you still wipe your tears with red eyes, which looks absolutely real.

Don't underestimate these details, because many things are often exposed from the details, which leads to a total loss. It's the old saying that 'the devil is in the details'.

The reason why the South Gate was chosen is because Neiying is on duty at the South Gate today: The Longfeng County Guerrilla Brigade has been fighting Lao Jiang for so many years, and it is normal for the Longfeng County Guerrilla Brigade to develop and even buy a few or send a few reliable comrades to penetrate into the enemy's interior and become Neiying, otherwise, do you really think that the comrades in the county town will be so smooth in transmitting information to the guerrillas? There will be plenty of time and excuses to spy on the little devil barracks without arousing the suspicion of others? And the biggest stronghold of the Longfeng County Guerrilla Brigade in the county town is ' Dragon and Phoenix Restaurant', which is less than a hundred meters to the right of the little devil barracks.

Chen Ergou has been a soldier since he was sixteen years old, and he can speak well, but he is very greedy, especially in the face of money, he really has to not let go and kill without making mistakes - in this regard, his courage can indeed be said to be bold. This can be seen from the fact that he dared to accept money from the guerrillas for a long time: in those days, the republican rebellion was equated, but he did it tirelessly, which shows his courage in this regard.

From a recruit to a tax soldier, he didn't know how to give more to the commander because of his greed for only entering and not leaving, so he was returned to the security regiment. After the little devil came, he became a second devil, and he didn't have any shame at all, but felt that as long as it didn't affect his money, it didn't matter.

Just because he was poor in a small family, he was greedy, but he didn't understand the truth of 'eating alone and not getting fat', so he never became an official, and until now, he is just a platoon commander. This is thanks to the fact that when the little devil came, the security team fought with the little devil, and some people died, plus some of them had backbone, they ran away one after another, and there were not many people left, and he, as a veteran, was naturally promoted.

However, although he only loves money, he has no self-motivation, and he can speak well, and no one cares about him when others see that they don't stand in his way. By now, he has become a veteran, and many of the people who are the same time as him have risen, so don't look at him as just a platoon commander, but in the company, a word is more effective than the company commander, nothing else, the battalion commander is his brother, and the deputy regiment commander also fought bandits with him back then, and I heard that he also saved the life of the deputy battalion commander. Such a person, commonly known as an old fritter, you can look down on him, but you will definitely not offend him for the sake of small things that are big about sesame seeds.

From the aspect of 'taking people's money and eliminating disasters with people', Chen Ergou's reputation is definitely better than many people who take money and don't do things, or don't return money if they can't do things, because Chen Ergou has always felt that if he wants to mix in this industry for a long time, reputation is the first. Therefore, sometimes, Chen Ergou can't do anything, but he is very 'righteous' to return the money.

After coming and going, as soon as the reputation spreads, everyone knows to follow his path if they have anything to do.

On that night four days ago, an old friend from the past came to visit and gave him a heavy gift of fifty yuan - you know, no matter how good his background is, but after all, he is only a platoon commander now, and the official is not big, which determines the level of his gray income, so on weekdays, it is usually a piece of two oceans, at most, last summer, an important political prisoner was released through the city gate he guarded 'safely', and that time, he also received twenty oceans. Now, accepting fifty oceans at once is definitely a heavy gift for him.

Chen Ergou attaches great importance to his credibility in this regard, and in the past, he only took money, no matter what the other party wanted to do. But this time, because he received this gift too heavily, he couldn't help but make an exception.

The other party also felt that this time the matter was very important, especially in the details, Chen Ergou must cooperate, otherwise, if Chen Ergou didn't know how to cooperate and the matter was revealed, it would be a big deal. Therefore, it will be mentioned slightly: in a few days, he will personally take some people to the county town to avoid the limelight, and at the same time, because of self-protection, these people may bring some illegal things, such as weapons, of course, because of self-protection, this batch of weapons may be a little more, I hope he will take care of it then. also specially explained: At most, these people will leave, and they will definitely not cause trouble to Chen Ergou, even if they are caught, it has nothing to do with Chen Ergou, because they will not know about this transaction.

People who can speak well are naturally very smart, not to mention Chen Ergou, who has worked in this industry for many years and has a reputation that has been out. He immediately knew what to take care of: it was nonsense to say anything to avoid the limelight, and the key was the weapons. Even, Chen Ergou thought he was right, and he thought that these people were probably smugglers, either smuggling weapons or smuggling coercion, well! Judging from the other party's words, they were probably smuggling weapons.

As a result, every cell in Chen Ergou's body became excited, not only guaranteeing everything, but even proposing to meet the leaders of these people when the time came. Because he thought about it: Nine times out of ten, the other party took this line for the first time to smuggle weapons, which is commonly known as exploring the road in the rivers and lakes. Then, as long as the other party succeeds in this transaction, it means that this road is clear, and he will inevitably continue to use this route in the future, and once he has a relationship with these people, the other party has to ask for himself, and when the time comes, will there be less money? And it is long-term, which is much stronger than his greed from the left and right: although the risk is high, as long as he relies on this line of trading alone, relatively speaking, the risk is much smaller, and the income is more than one level higher, so he is particularly careful.

Chen Ergou hasn't done anything else in the past few days, waiting for his old friend to appear with the team...... People who don't know still think that he, the platoon commander, was suddenly struck by lightning, but he was not afraid of the wind and the sun, and insisted on coming to the south gate every day, and not only came early in the morning, but even deliberately delayed everyone's off-duty time. Therefore, abnormality is a demon, and people who don't know the inside story naturally don't want to know for the rest of their lives.

But he waited left and right and didn't see the other party come to the door, he was a little impetuous, and even prayed to God and Buddha for the other party: Don't have an accident on the road.

At noon today, he was about to go to lunch when he saw a group of people wearing filial piety clothes and handkerchiefs on their heads, carrying a carriage loaded with a coffin.

At first, he didn't pay much attention to it. It's just in line with the principle that no matter how small a mosquito is, it is meat, and it is a little bit that it can be scraped, so I sat there lazily, thinking about knocking on the money for lunch and then going to eat lunch.

However, when he squinted and inadvertently looked up at the filial son holding a photo frame in the lead, his eyes widened, and his mood immediately became excited-that old friend actually became a filial son, so do you need to say more?

When that work comes, the good days of collecting a lot of money will also begin......
