When Commander Zheng Lingbao staggered into the conference hall of the General Joint Security Office, he stood up with the three or four hundred security chiefs and joint security directors in the conference hall. He didn't know the security chiefs and joint security directors around him, and he didn't have any special interest in the upcoming conference, but after knowing that Commander Qi would not go out of the mountains to attend the meeting of the theater commander's department, he still rushed here in a hurry to arrange a small operation for this commander and emperor who did not know the height of the earth.

Zheng Lingbao stood in the first row, not far from the side door of the conference hall, and at the side door stood a guard with a short gun. When Commander Qi, accompanied by Adjutant General Liu Jingrui, Pistol Captain Lu Baotian, and Deputy Local Autonomy Committee Wu Qijing, walked in, the number of guards at the gate suddenly increased to four. The atmosphere in the conference hall suddenly became tense, at least Zheng Lingbao felt nervous.

Commander Qi walked slowly from the side door to the podium, and nodded to Zheng Lingbao when he passed where Zheng Lingbao was standing. The atmosphere was quite depressing, Zheng Lingbao didn't speak, and Commander Qi didn't speak. In fact, Zheng Lingbao wanted to speak, but for some reason, at the moment when his eyes collided with the commander's gaze, he was a little timid, and after only a moment of hesitation, he lost the opportunity to speak. When he came to his senses and wanted to greet Commander Qi, Commander Qi's majestic face had turned into a back as solemn as a wall.

Zheng Lingbao still mustered up the courage and shouted at the solemn back:

"Monkey...... me! ”

Commander Qi stood on his heels, turned around slowly, and asked slowly:

"What's the matter?"

He involuntarily took two steps forward:

"Gong Li, that's the case, we will sign ......"

Commander Yan didn't let him finish, and with a wave of his hand, interrupted his words:

"Let's talk about the special signature, let's hold a meeting first, and the plan of the year lies in the spring!"

Zheng Lingbao forcibly suppressed the anger and sullenness in his heart, reluctantly retreated to his original position, and joined the ranks of the earthy security chiefs again.

The conference begins. When singing "Local Autonomy Saves My Republic of China," Zheng Lingbao saw the telephone next to the podium and suddenly remembered that he could ask the commissioner of the special agency to send an invitation to Commander Beichuan by phone. As long as Ying Beichuan can invite Commander Qi out of Guangren County, his plan will be considered a success.

Zheng Lingbao was a little excited, and after the "Song of Local Autonomy" was finished in the repetition of "Commander Qi who depends on Shengming", he quietly slipped out of the conference hall, shook the special phone in the office of the General Union Security Office, and found the administrative inspector Ying Beichuan without much effort.

Zheng Lingbao complained on the phone, but he didn't scold. He said that he, a military inspector appointed by the Nationalist Government, was inferior to a security chief in the eyes of Commander Qi, and he was not even qualified to speak a word, and that he wanted to ask Commander Qi to come to the special office in Qinghe County tonight. Ying Beichuan over there was not hot at all, and he said again and again: "You can drive here." Zheng Lingbao almost crooked his nose and asked Ying Beichuan or if he was an administrative official of the National Government? Are the eight counties here still on the map of the Republic of China? Such a choke made Ying Beichuan change his mind and agreed to call the venue, but before hanging up the phone, he was still long-winded and asked Zheng Lingbao to explain to Commander Qi that he could not come in person because he was ill.

Putting down the phone, Zheng Lingbao let out a long sigh, and an imperceptible smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

It seems that the overall situation is about to be decided, as long as Commander Yan's car leaves Guangren tonight and drives to Qinghe County, the humiliating time he spent lying on his salary will come to an end, and the eight counties of Guangqing will truly belong to the territory of the Republic of China.

The days of lying on the salary and tasting courage are only half a year, but in Zheng Lingbao's opinion, it is like ten years. He couldn't bear everything he saw and heard with his own eyes every day. In his view, Commander Qi was not so much engaged in local autonomy as feudal secession. Under the circumstance that the Japanese invaders are pressing the border, and no longer make up their minds to eradicate the separatism, the prospects of Guangqing are very worrying.

The hatred for Commander and the land under his rule began from the first day he arrived. He remembered that that day, Ying Beichuan took him to meet Commander Qi, who was also holding a meeting in the conference hall of the General Security Office - as if it was a winter security chief meeting. He followed Ying Beichuan through the front door, and when he entered the door, he did not see the portrait of Premier Sun or Chairman Chiang, but saw a huge portrait of Commander Qi hanging on the wall behind the podium. Commander Qi in military uniform was standing under his portrait and giving a lecture. He was taken aback, thinking that he had arrived in another country.

What surprised him even more was that Commander Qi actually spanked people's butts in public. In his impression, the beatings that day seemed to be more than a dozen security chiefs who had not fulfilled the ration quota and two joint security directors who were said to have had many bad deeds. Commander Qi first called their names according to the roster, and called one to come up one by one. After all the calls, the commander slapped on the table, scolded a dozen "day mothers" in one breath, and then, with a bang, gave an order, asking the guards to turn around their bodies and tear off their pants. More than a dozen white buttocks were displayed in front of everyone in a row, and it was displayed for a long time before Commander Yan slowly issued the second order: Fight! In an instant, all the white buttocks were pressed down, and the soldiers with military sticks in their hands exerted obscenity, and beat the owners of the white buttocks until they cried and called their mothers.

The scene could really be said to be thrilling, with the trembling sound of the "splitting horn" from the clash of military sticks and flesh, and the howls of many of the beaten, creating a hellish atmosphere, which simply pushed the "sage" of the commander to the extreme.

This is not the end, after all the beatings, Commander Qi will ruthlessly display those butts that have been processed with military sticks. Those buttocks turned from white to red one by one, and they were patchy and swollen a lot. Looking at the miserable appearance of that row of butts, not to mention the security chiefs and joint security directors who are qualified to be beaten in the future, even he, a military inspector wearing a national army uniform who is not qualified to be beaten, can't help but be frightened.

It was not surprising that he was shocked, and he decided that this was the effect that Commander Qi wanted. He found it strange that after being beaten, the security chiefs and joint security directors had to salute and thank the commanders, and it was said that they had to pay three sheep tickets to the soldiers who were in charge of the military sticks afterwards.

This is simply an atrocity, and its tyranny can be said to be no less than that of the feudal emperors of the past.

He immediately told Ying Beichuan about his feelings, but Ying Beichuan repeatedly instructed him not to mention it when he met with Commander Qi.

He was young and vigorous, and he did not believe in evil, so he had to mention it. After the meeting was dismissed, as soon as he sat down in the office of the General Security Office, he honestly and unceremoniously said that the government had explicitly ordered the abolition of corporal punishment, and that spanking in front of the public not only violated government laws and regulations, but also insulted the national personality, and hoped that the commander would abolish it.

It was the first time they met, and the relationship between him and Commander Qi was not as stiff as it is now, although Commander Qi was a little unhappy, he still said to him with a smile:

"Inspector Zheng, you don't know, Commander Ben beat them for their good. This commander is their parent official, how can any parent not beat their children, beating children is for the sake of their children! Isn't that the truth? ”

He didn't think this was the truth, so he talked about his truth in a heartfelt way, but when he didn't explain half of his reason, Commander Qi became impatient, his face sank, and he said gloomily:

"Don't say it, this is the local autonomous region presided over by this commander, this commander's reason works, but your reason doesn't!"

He didn't know each other yet, Ying Beichuan gave him a few looks, he also pretended not to see it, held back the fire, took a step back and tactfully proposed: It's always bad to beat people, especially if you take off your pants and beat in public, it hurts people's dignity too much. He suggested that Commander Qi make some improvements, and that he should not pick people's pants again when he was spanked in the future.

Commander Yan didn't even give this face, twisted his neck and said:

"Why don't you pick up your pants! How can you kill their prestige if you don't pick up your pants?! This commander can not leave behind the road of Guangqing eight counties and do not close his door at night, one relies on the barrel of a gun, and the other relies on killing sticks! That's it! ”

The first time they met, they broke up unhappily, and Commander Yan didn't want to see him again in the future. But he was unyielding, still pestering Commander Qi. Knowing that the commander issued his own sheep tickets, he pointed out that the national currency of the Republic of China was legal tender, and the sheep tickets should be abolished. After figuring out that the products of Guangqing Agricultural Machinery Factory were not agricultural machinery, but guns, he ignored Beichuan's obstruction, broke into the headquarters of the commander of the Guangren Self-Defense Army three times, and asked Commander Yan face to face: What do you want to do with so many guns?

Commander Qi was finally provoked by him, and one day he called Ying Beichuan to the headquarters and scolded him, and then declared that if Ying Beichuan, as a commissioner, was unable to restrain the words and deeds of a military attaché, the headquarters of the Self-Defense Forces Commander would not assume any responsibility for the safety of the special office and its officials. Ying Beichuan was frightened, and as soon as he came back from the Guangren headquarters, he found him and pointed out two ways for him to choose: first, immediately leave the special office and return to the headquarters of the commander of the war zone; 2. Stay in the special office, but get into less trouble and be less nosy in the future.

He didn't say a word at the time, and after consulting the Guerrilla Supervision Office of the Theater Commander's Department, he was ruthless and resigned himself to staying. From the moment he decided to stay, he was ready to risk his life to fight the commander. He knew that the Central Committee and the Theater Governor's Department could not bear the so-called local autonomy of Commander Qi as much as he did, and it was only a matter of time before he cleaned up Commander Qi.

Now, the moment to decide the fate of Commander Qi has finally arrived, and the Theater Commander's Department has finally made up its mind to cut off this cancer, and he can show his skills for the country and the nation.

Ying Beichuan did not know the "action plan" of the Theater Commander's Department. Commander Li of the Guerrilla Supervision Office has repeatedly taken care of the "action plan" to keep it strictly secret before and after it is implemented. As a soldier, he can't disobey orders, at least not give his bottom pocket to Ying Beichuan before the action. He didn't want to harm Ying Beichuan, but when he arranged the operation, he couldn't help but push Ying Beichuan to the edge of the trap against his will; Regardless of whether the operation was successful or not, Ying Beichuan could not escape the involvement, Commander Qi died on the way to the special office when he was invited, and Ying Beichuan could not be washed away by jumping into the Yellow River. However, he can be sorry for Ying Beichuan, but he can't be sorry for Commander Li of the Supervision Office who represents the party-state, in the face of the righteousness of the party-state, whether it is Ying Beichuan or his Zheng Lingbao's life and death are insignificant.

He instigated Beichuan to invite Commander Qi for a high-sounding reason: to discuss the way through the provincial ** to promote the early unsealing of the rift estuary. In this regard, Ying Beichuan is extremely interested, and Commander Qi should also be interested. Ying Beichuan sells tobacco, and Commander Qi also sells tobacco, and the mouth of the cracked river is not opened, and the interests of both people will be affected. As long as Beichuan's call arrives at the venue, it seems that Commander Qi's master must be moved.

It is estimated that Ying Beichuan's phone should have been called, so he walked to the telephone again and hung up the phone again to the Qinghe Special Office, wanting to know Commander Qi's reply on the phone. I never thought about it, and I didn't shake it for a long time......

It was already past three o'clock when he returned to the long chair in the conference hall and sat down, and the commander was giving rewards to the exemplary security chiefs who had come to the stage one by one. The hair was all made of large cloth from the mountains, and the cloth was tied with red silk.

It was almost four o'clock after the reward was distributed, and Wu Qijing, deputy of the Autonomous Committee, spoke. When Wu Qijing spoke, Commander Qi closed his eyes and recuperated, he looked at Commander Qi anxiously, but Commander Qi did not look at him.

He had an idea, pulled out his pen, and hurriedly wrote a note for a young adjutant in the audience to give to Commander Qi.

In a few moments, the young adjutant came down from the stage and told him that Commissioner Ying had called, and that Commander Qi had promised to go, but that he might go later, and he would not leave until after the meeting of the eight county virtuous people was over.

A hanging heart fell to the ground, he thanked the young adjutant, tried to control his emotions, and walked out of the venue as calmly as possible......
