Before we arrived at Cangwu, we heard the "cracking" sound of firecrackers in the distance.
It’s Chinese New Year!
Shi Jinzhong, the bandit leader who had harmed Cangwu for many years, was captured alive. For the people of Cangwu, it was the New Year!
A large group of people stood at the gate of Cangwu City.
The leader was none other than Cangwu gentry Pan Hetong.
The car comes and stops.
Meng Shaoyuan got out of the car.
The sound of firecrackers sounded again.
Then came the roar of gongs and drums.
"Commissioner Cai!"
Pan Hetong stretched out his hand, and the sound of gongs and drums stopped.
He led the gentry behind him and walked to Meng Shaoyuan:
"Here comes the wine!"
A large bowl of wine was brought to Meng Shaoyuan.
I heard Pan Hetong say: "We, the people of Cangwu, would like to thank the special commissioner for eliminating this great harm to the place, so that Cangwu can finally be at peace. Special Commissioner, please drink this wine to express the gratitude of the people of Cangwu!"
Meng Shaoyuan took the wine and drank it down without any courtesy.
"We, the people of Cangwu, would like to thank the special commissioner and Commander Shang Anning for saving me, which is like fire or water!"
With that said, everyone bowed deeply to Meng Shaoyuan.
This is the advice of an expert.
I deliberately brought Shang Anning in.
"You don't have to be so polite."
Meng Shaoyuan said hurriedly: "Eradicating banditry is my duty!"
Pan Hetong held Meng Shaoyuan's hand: "Commissioner, let's go, let's go, we have prepared a celebration banquet in Cangwu, please be sure to honor it!"
…
Shang Anning was also invited.
If Shang Anning had not sent troops to help suppress the bandits this time, things would definitely not have gone so smoothly.
In his heart, Shang Anning also admired the special commissioner "Cai Xuefeng" very much.
Without much effort, the local bandit leader Shi Jinzhong was captured.
This is a great achievement.
Moreover, all the bandit loot seized from Zuojianshan can be used as military supplies.
The special commissioner is so capable and promising at a young age.
Therefore, when invited by the local gentry of Cangwu, Shang Anning agreed without thinking too much.
After three rounds of wine, I felt happy.
Shang Anning also toasted Meng Shaoyuan with a glass of wine:
"Well, the special commissioner has made such a great contribution. Do you think you need me to express something?"
All the bandit's loot went into his regiment, and the special commissioner felt a little bit regretful that he didn't take any of it from Shang Anning.
Meng Shaoyuan said: "The bandits were suppressed by you. I only performed a small job. Why do you need anything from me, uncle?"
The sound of "uncle" sounded as pleasant to Shang Anning's ears at this moment.
Meng Shaoyuan took the opportunity to say again: "My nephew is going to Guilin tomorrow."
"Oh, you are going to Guilin."
"Yes, I just heard that the situation in Guilin is complicated, and my nephew is worried that there will be many restrictions after going there."
Shang Anning nodded: "That's right. Shen Jianxun, the commander of the 170th Division, is a friend of mine for many years. I will edit a letter for you soon. If you need help in Guilin, just go to him."
"Thank you very much, uncle."
Meng Shaoyuan calculated in his mind that this time he went to Guilin and needed to use all kinds of connections.
This group leader may be able to play a role in this.
After thanking him, Meng Shaoyuan said to Pan Hetong: "Shopkeeper Pan has traveled hundreds of miles to Guilin, so I would like to ask shopkeeper Pan to borrow a car. I will send someone to return it at that time."
"No borrowing."
Unexpectedly, Pan and Tong refused.
When everyone was stunned, Pan Hetong smiled again and said: "The special agent is sent to eliminate harm to the local area, so there is no reason to borrow it? I will give the car to the special agent as a gift from me."
As soon as these words came out, everyone showed their faces.
"Okay, I'm almost done drinking."
Shang Anning suddenly said: "There is still a big show to be performed for you all!"
Just when everyone was confused, two soldiers appeared on the scene, escorting Shi Jinzhong, who was tied up with five flowers.
Behind him, there was a burly man with his upper body naked and holding a ghost-headed sword.
Shang Anning's face straightened: "The bandit leader Shi Jinzhong has harmed Cangwu for many years. He has accumulated a lot of blood debts, killed without accounting, and even robbed medicines privately. He has committed a heinous crime! He is now executed and sentenced to death!"
There was a sudden burst of applause from the side.
Shi Jinzhong's face was ashen.
Soldiers on both sides held him to his knees.
The big man picked up the wine bowl, took a big drink, and sprayed it on the edge of the knife.
Then he swung it hard, and suddenly, a head fell to the ground.
Not only were the people present not afraid at all, but they were bursting into deafening cheers.
Meng Shaoyuan watched all this calmly, and then he signaled Luo Caiyi to come to him: "Are you having fun?"
"Sir's actions are unpredictable." Luo Caiyi said sincerely: "The staff department is sincerely convinced. Previously, the staff department wrongly blamed the chief, and he deserves death."
"Don't always blame someone who deserves to die ten thousand times." Meng Shaoyuan said with a smile: "In our line of work, although there must be a distinction between good and evil, it cannot be excessive.
Sometimes you are obviously a good person, but you have to pretend to be a bad person. His preferences are all written on his face, and he is afraid that he will fail ten times out of ten when performing this task.
You may be wondering, why didn’t I tell you in advance? If I told you in advance, I would be worried that something bad would happen to you. After you were absorbed into the organization, you have stayed in Cangwu and worked diligently and steadfastly.
But you have never actually performed a mission alone or been on the front line in person, so there are some things you don't understand. "
"Yes, sir. The staff is convinced."
"I don't care if you accept it or not, you don't want to stay in Cangwu anymore."
Luo Caiyi was startled.
He just thought that he had offended his superior and was dismissed from his post on the spot.
He immediately stood at attention: "Yes, sir. Even if the commander sends the staff to the frontline death squads, the staff will never complain."
"What are you thinking about? The Suicide Squad? You finally trained an agent and I sent it to the Suicide Squad?"
Meng Shaoyuan smiled again: "Don't think too much. You are working at Cangwu. I will arrange someone else to replace you. As for you, come with me to Guilin."
"Guilin?"
"Yes, Guilin's landscape is the best in the world. I have long wanted to see it."
Meng Shaoyuan said calmly: "However, in addition to the scenery there, there are probably dozens of guns aimed at me. If you follow me, you might lose your head."
"I'm not afraid of losing my head." Luo Caiyi said without hesitation, "I'm not afraid of anything if I follow the commander."
"As long as you have the courage, I should tell you some things." Meng Shaoyuan paused and said, "I am not Supervisory Commissioner Cai Xuefeng, I am, Meng Shaoyuan!"
I am, Meng Shaoyuan!
Luo Caiyi was shocked. But he didn't seem to believe it: "Who are you, which Meng Shaoyuan are you?"
"Headquarters of the Military Command Bureau, Director of the Operations Division, Meng Shaoyuan!"
Luo Caiyi was surprised and delighted: "Japan's public enemy, the most powerful agent on the surface, Chief Meng?"
"It's not that magical."
Luo Caiyi never imagined that one day he would be beside the legendary agent Meng Shaoyuan. He stood up straight and said loudly:
"We are so lucky to be able to study with you. This is our lifelong pride!"
