Volume 2 King of the Northwest Chapter 27 Li Dongcai
"Marshal, the Japanese later went to the Governor's Office."
Since Dai Jiliang's other intelligence agencies were newly established, Guo Sinan's men are still the ones taking the lead.
"It is said that he was unhappy with the incident with Governor Li and left in disgrace."
It seems that Li Genyuan also has a firm stance on the issue of Japanese consultants. This person is not without his good points.
"Are your people reliable?"
However, even though he sighed, Dai Jiliang was thinking about another question. Guo Bingchang was able to obtain such detailed information about Li Genyuan's inside information, and it was obvious that he had already sent people to Li Genyuan's side. This was very important. Perhaps this would be the deciding factor in the future. Of course, he had to get to the bottom of it.
"Absolutely reliable. I bribed one of Li Genyuan's guards. That guy is addicted to eating, drinking, whoring and gambling. Li Genyuan has no external money and even the normal salary is sometimes in arrears. This guy can't stand the hardship and owes a lot of debts outside. My people happened to find out about it, and he got into trouble without spending much money."
Although Guo Sinan was humble in front of Dai Jiliang, his nickname "Guo Yanwang" was enough to make children stop crying outside the office in Xi'an.
"Bingchang, you did a great job on this matter."
It was a rare occasion for Dai Jiliang to call this vicious dog by his name, and the man opposite him immediately showed a look of gratitude.
"You take personal control of this person. When the time comes, I will be of great use to him."
Dai Jiliang didn't even look at the other person's disgusting look.
"Bingchang, I heard that your relationship with Fan Jie'an hasn't been going well recently?"
Fan Jie'an is Fan Weining, the provincial police chief who bought his position with money.
"He is a mediocre person. You don't have to pay attention to him. If I didn't need to borrow the police station for the time being, I would have made you and your men independent. Otherwise."
Dai Jiliang thought about it and decided to give out a piece of bone.
"How about I give you the title of the Anti-Smoking Bureau's Anti-Smuggling Inspectorate?"
"Please rest assured, Marshal, I will never have any conflict with Director Fan in person."
Guo Sinan's mind raced. Dai Jiliang spoke hesitantly and hesitantly. It was obvious that he felt it was a bit too early to let his men set up their own business. If he pressed him so hard, it would only give Dai Jiliang more ideas. Seeing that there were more competitors now, it was natural that Gu Pei would still be the first. So he lowered his head and restrained his ambition to replace him.
"Marshal, you just said that we still need the police department for the time being. I think the Anti-Smoking Bureau and the Anti-Smuggling Inspection Office are not in a good position. Don't worry, I will control my men."
"Bingchang, I am very pleased that you can understand the big picture. Don't worry! You don't have to pay attention to Fan Jie'an. If you have any problem, you can go directly to Director He."
Dai Jiliang nodded. He couldn't let Guo Sinan's loyalty go to waste, so he gave him a reassurance.
"You go and get busy first."
"Dongcai, it's time to discipline your subordinates."
Guo Jian looked at Li Dongcai, who was eating at the table with one foot on the stool, with a look of helplessness on his face. It was a bad thing that these brothers under him were brave enough to fight and destroy the place, but they were worse than the Beiyang Army and the bandits.
Look, this kid in front of him opened a farm half a month ago and committed rape and robbery, causing him to be scolded by Jing Wumu in front of everyone. Not only did he lose face, but he couldn't even raise his head in front of everyone.
"Deputy Commander."
Guo Jian was Cao Shiying's deputy. He was not only the deputy commander of the 3rd Independent Regiment of the Shaanxi Army and the commander of the 3rd Battalion, but also the deputy commander of the 3rd Garrison District. The brothers thought the title of deputy commander was unpleasant to the ear, so they all called him deputy commander. At first glance, one might think he was a very high-ranking official, but he turned out to be a bandit leader with less than 300 men and guns.
"The New Year is coming soon, and the higher-ups haven't given us a pay raise. How are we going to celebrate this New Year?"
The people in northern Shaanxi were in poverty and the land was poor. Even though Hu Jingyi, Jing Xiuyue and others tried again and again to raise funds and delay the payment of taxes to Xi'an, they still could not afford to support these 5,000 people who only ate and did not farm, not to mention a pay increase and more food at the end of the year. They were lucky to have a chance to eat meat. They had two meals a day, one dry and one liquid, which made people's eyes turn white.
The better ones, like Hu Jingyi's team, everyone worked hard together.
If it is not good, like Li Dongcai, he can only oppress the people.
"You don't want us brothers to eat corn cobs and steamed buns in the first month of the lunar year, do you?"
"Li Dongcai, don't complain in front of me. Do you think I don't know the situation of my brothers? But I am always being scolded by others. Where can I put my face?"
Guo Jian is also a first-rate swordsman with a strong sense of the martial arts world. This kind of person cares most about face. If you don't give him face, he will not give you the substance.
"Get out, get out, don't fucking eat! I'm telling you, either you manage the team well, or you get out, go wherever you want. "
"Get lost if you want to!"
Li Dongcai stood up cursing. He and Guo Jian were used to quarreling with each other, so he didn't care about Guo Jian's threats. He threw away the half-eaten meat bone in his hand and wiped his hands with his tattered clothes that were so tattered that you couldn't tell what color they were.
"I say, deputy commander. I am not a traitor. Just listen to me. You will not have a good life if you follow the Kuomintang. You might as well lead your troops to join Dai Jiliang. Look at Niu Wenliang. He is a genuine garrison commander. His monthly salary plus special expenses are several hundred yuan. You must have been better than him if you went there. Besides, the food provided by the Shaanxi Army is not good. They only have three meals a day and one feast every seven days. It is a feast of fish and meat. Your mouth is full of oil."
"Eat, eat, eat, that's all you know how to do. Get out!"
Guo Jian kicked Li Dongcai as he flew up. Although Guo Jian was not strict in military discipline and had ambitions, making him difficult to control, he was generally loyal to the Kuomintang and naturally could not stand Li Dongcai's nonsense.
"I've made it clear to you that Brother Wenyuan will come over for inspection in two days. If you can't lead your team well, I will not only remove you from the position of deputy company commander, but also skin you alive with my own hands. Get out!"
Li Dongcai walked out of Guo Jian's command post in a sullen manner, and spat as soon as he stepped out of the door.
"This is a damn Kuomintang. They don't even let us eat or drink, and they're fighting the Beiyang Army. I'm done with this."
"Deputy Captain, what did the deputy commander say?"
Although Li Dongcai was only a deputy company commander with only forty or fifty men under him, he was quite impressive. When two horsemen with machetes slung over their backs and dragged red silk threads as long as a foot long saw him coming out, they immediately went to greet him.
"You are not to blame, are you?"
"Fuck you, deputy company commander. I quit."
Li Dongcai untied the reins and climbed onto the horse.
"Come on, accompany me to Xiaohong's place to cool down."
Li Dongcai spoke incoherently and was very angry, so the two grooms did not dare to ask more questions and just let him do what he wanted. While they were talking, the group broke into Chunxiangguan, the only brothel in Fu County.
"Everyone is fucking dead. Come out and greet me."
As soon as he entered the room, Li Dongcai started shouting loudly. Several sleepy-eyed eunuchs were so frightened by the 20-shot gun stuck in Li Dongcai's chest that they dared not make a sound.
No wonder, who would come to a brothel in the middle of the day? That would just cause trouble.
"Xiao Hong, where the hell are you cheating on me? Tell that bastard to get out of here, or I'll give him a peanut to taste."
Li Dongcai ignored it, and suddenly there was chaos in the yard.
"Which bastard is making that noise out there?"
It was obvious that the person in the room also had a bad temper. He replied at that time. Li Dongcai was furious and said, "How dare someone scold me?" He kicked the door open, pulled out his gun and prepared to kill someone.
However, Li Dongcai did not expect that the other party also had a weapon. Before he could find his opponent, a cold gun barrel was already against his forehead.
"you?"
Li Dongcai is certainly not a coward, but the barrel of Walan's gun is right on his forehead, so he has no choice but to give in.
"Put your gun down. Let's pretend this never happened. If you dare to shoot, my people will tear you to pieces right away."
"Can you trust Captain Li's words?"
Li Dongcai was stunned. He didn't expect that the other party actually knew him. It must be that his enemy was waiting for him here on purpose. Captain Li had killed many people and his enemies were all over northern Shaanxi. When he thought of this, he immediately became honest.
"Don't mention that there are only two people around you. Even if there are more, we can only shoot one person at a time. But if I really listen to you and put down my gun, you, the captain, will tear me to pieces immediately and I will take your surname."
The man was wearing a pair of unusual large sunglasses, and his sharp eyes behind the lenses were fixed on Li Dongcai. When he saw that the old man was calm, he completely let go.
"Drop the gun on the ground, and the two idiots behind you have their knives down."
Although Li Dongcai was unwilling, he had no choice but to submit since he was under someone else's roof.
"Come on, come in and sit down!"
The man stepped back step by step, motioning Li Dongcai to follow in, and then drove out the bitch Xiaohong who was huddled under the quilt in fear.
"Don't move, don't be afraid, sit over there at the table, and let's talk about a deal."
"I have only one life to live, but no money. I am not interested in any business!"
Looking at the other party's behavior, Li Dongcai guessed that the other party might not be sent by his enemy to seek revenge, so he became bolder and his tone became tougher.
"Yes, of course you are interested!"
The man smiled and pointed at the gun in his hand.
" See? This is a Ning factory 6-inch Bailanglin pistol with seven bullets inside. It has a maximum range of 500 meters and an effective range of 40 meters. Do you think you can escape at this distance? Or do you think you can fly out of this room? Don't forget, the door and window are on my side."
Seeing Li Dongcai's livid face, the visitor became even more proud.
"Are you interested now?"
"Okay, you talk and I listen!"
The other party looked so calm and composed that Li Chengdong, fearing that the other party might have a backup plan, had to retreat again.
"Listen carefully. Let me introduce myself first. You can call me Mr. Chang! Oh, don't move. Now turn your head slowly and look over there. There is a box on your right. Open it."
The man pointed his gun.
"Don't think of anything else. Open it slowly. I'll tell you there are 100 yuan in the box. Take it first."
The scene suddenly became weird with these words. Li Dongcai looked at the other person in disbelief, then looked at the wicker suitcase. He gritted his teeth and reached out to open it.
"Tell me, what does Chang want from you, Master Li?"
Sure enough, there was a roll of silver dollars neatly wrapped in mulberry paper inside. As soon as Li Dongcai touched it, he knew the number was correct. He immediately felt at ease and his mind became active.
"It's all right to kill or burn people, but your Master Li's price is not low. Can you afford it?"
"Captain Li is indeed very courageous!"
As soon as Mr. Chang put away his gun, the tense atmosphere in the room suddenly relaxed.
"This is just a deposit. If you do it well, there will definitely be a big reward..."
