Even in this era, it is still very fast from Nanjing to Wuxi.
But this time when I came to Wuxi, the people around me were different.
Tian Qi and the others were still on their way back to Nanjing, and only Zhu Yanni was following the old man.
The two newcomers Guo Rui and Qiu Xingchang don't know what role they can play.
Jiangyin, the land of Wu, has a history of more than 1,700 years.
To be precise, Jiangyin at this time was not under the jurisdiction of Wuxi, but under the jurisdiction of Changzhou. It was just very close to Wuxi, but far away from Changzhou.
In addition to being the former residence of the famous traveler Xu Xiake, it is also famous for its important geographical location.
Jiangyin is located at the end of the Yangtze River and the throat of the Yangtze River. It has been a river defense fortress in the past dynasties.
There is a famous saying between Jiangyin and Wuxi:
The robbers of Jiangyin are the thieves of Wuxi.
Many people's explanations start from how Jiangyin people resisted tenaciously in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties.
In fact, it's a big fallacy.
Wuxi Yangshan peaches are famous all over the world, and the best ones can be smoked with a straw, so later generations have another name:
Little three peaches.
Why do you say that?
Because in Meng Shaoyuan's time, bosses often drove their cars with their mistresses to buy this kind of peaches, picking them and sucking them now, hence the name.
Jiangyin produces peaches, which the locals think are delicious, but people in Wuxi don't like them at all because of the peaches. Those who sell peaches in Wuxi all lose money.
There is a saying that "the peaches of Jiangyin are broken in Wuxi".
Because of his accent, he was gradually rumored to be a "robber from Jiangyin and a thief from Wuxi".
Meng Shaoyuan and his party arrived in Wuxi, took a short rest, and found a dim sum shop. Everyone ordered a bowl of wontons and two baskets of Wuxi's famous Xiao Long Steamed Buns.
People in the north call them steamed buns, while people in the south call them steamed buns. There is no distinction between whether they have fillings or not.
It was the first time for several newcomers to eat steamed buns.
Qiu Xingchang picked one up with chopsticks and bit it down. Guo Rui, who was sitting next to him, let out a strange scream.
It turns out that the steamed buns have a thin scalp and lots of fillings, and are filled with soup. This soup is the most delicious. The correct way to eat it is to gently bite a small mouth and then slowly absorb all the soup.
How did Qiu Xingchang know? After one sip, the hot soup splashed out, and most of it fell on Guo Rui's face.
Qiu Xingchang's own mouth was badly burned. He said sorry and refused to give up. He picked up another one, turned sideways, and took another bite.
"ah!"
This time, it was Zhu Yanni who screamed:
"Qiu Xingchang, do you know how to eat? Look at it! These are my new clothes."
Her newly changed clothes were speckled with oil.
Qiu Xingchang put down his chopsticks in frustration: "Why is it so unpalatable? How on earth do we need to eat here?"
Guo Rui wiped his face and was also very curious: "Team leader...Boss, how did you get the soup in here?"
Meng Shaoyuan said seriously: "It was injected with a needle."
"Really?"
"Listen to Boss Meng's nonsense." Zhu Yanni has been to Wuxi and has eaten steamed buns: "That's a secret recipe from Wuxi people. I don't understand it. Anyway, it's steamed in a steamer."
"Boss, don't fool us like this." Guo Rui muttered there.
Meng Shaoyuan laughed "hehe" a few times: "There are a lot of weird things and unheard-of food in the north and south of the Yangtze River. Eat quickly and hit the road after eating. It's still an hour's drive from here to Jiangyin."
After eating snacks and filling our stomachs, Meng Shaoyuan was the driver this time. Zhu Yanni sat in the passenger seat and bumped towards Jiangyin.
The road was not easy to walk, so Meng Shaoyuan rolled down the window, lit a cigarette, and drove while smoking to relieve his fatigue.
There are still many advantages to this era. At least no one cares whether you smoke in the car or not. There are no traffic lights, and there are no traffic police.
You can drive however you want, and treat this road as your own.
"Team leader."
"During the mission, regardless of whether there are outsiders or not, you will always call me Boss Meng."
"Yes, Boss Meng." Guo Rui quickly changed his title: "What is our mission this time?"
At this point, there was nothing to hide. Meng Shaoyuan was silent for a moment and said, "Recruit Xue Sanqiang."
"ah?"
Guo Rui and Qiu Xingchang exclaimed at the same time.
"Boss Meng, we heard this name more than once when we were in the police academy." Guo Rui said anxiously: "A ruthless gangster who runs rampant in several places, kidnaps and extorts, kills and robs goods, does all kinds of bad things, and is narrow-minded. As long as he is offended by something trivial, he can kill a whole family. Do you want to recruit such a person?"
Am I recruiting?
Young Master, I'd better kill him with one shot and hide the secrets between myself and Xue Sanqiang so that no one else knows.
"Boss Meng is just a small team leader." Zhu Yanni answered for him: "Whatever Shangfeng asks him to do, he has to do it. He has no choice. In our second office, you can have no ability, but you can't help but obey."
There was silence in the back seat.
These two are hot-blooded young men who have gone from being police officers to being secret agents, and they've come to terms with it.
This time I want to tell them that the mission is to kill Xue Sanqiang, and the two of them have absolutely nothing to say.
But he actually wants to recruit this tough bandit?
Guo Rui and Qiu Xingchang couldn't figure it out anyway.
"Bear it." Meng Shaoyuan sighed and took a few puffs of cigarette, making the carriage full of smoke. "There will be many more things like this in the future. Xiao Zhu just said, obey. Learn to obey first, then learn Something else."
In this era, the addiction to smoking is getting bigger and bigger.
"I entered the second department a few days before Boss Meng." Zhu Yanni suddenly said: "At that time, there was a man named Han Jian who was in the same batch as me. He was assigned to the Operations Section. He was only in his twenties. He was very smart and alert. One time I followed him out to perform a mission. According to the deployment, he was to monitor first and wait until everyone arrived before taking action.
When the shift changed, when it was Han Wei's turn to monitor, he found that there was only one person on the other side, and he was small and thin. He thought that he was fully capable of dealing with it, so he forgot the rules and prepared to arrest the suspect alone.
Unexpectedly, the suspect had amazing physical strength. He was small but very strong. He first knocked the gun out of Han Wei's hand, then pulled out a knife and stabbed Han Wei in the chest.
When reinforcements arrived, Han Wei was dead, stabbed eight times in total. The death was so tragic that even the captain couldn't bear to look at it. And the suspect also ran away. "
"Were you caught later?"
"No, he has always been at large." Zhu Yanni said with a bit of sadness in her tone: "Originally, if Han Wei could strictly observe discipline, obey orders, and proceed according to the deployment, such a tragedy would not have happened."
The back row fell silent.
Meng Shaoyuan said through the interface:
"You will have many tasks in the future. Regardless of whether you understand or agree with them, they must be put aside. How to successfully complete the tasks is the first priority."
"Got it, boss."
This is probably the first lesson for Guo Rui and Qiu Xingchang when they go on a mission.
