What's amazing is that most of the restaurants next to the river are called "Wangjiang Tower".
When going to Wangjiang Tower, Meng Shaoyuan saw many anti-Japanese propaganda slogans along the way.
What impressed him most was a painting on a wall.
The Japanese were beating a shackled Chinese man fiercely with whips.
The slogan on the side is:
"If the country dies, we will have to live like a cow and a horse."
Simple and clear, easy to understand at a glance.
There is another special feature on the streets of Guilin.
You often see a few children sitting together and reading a little book.
This is rare in other cities.
Wan Chengan invited Meng Shaoyuan into Wangjiang Tower with great enthusiasm.
It's the window seat.
From the window, you can see a large number of bamboo poles floating on the river.
That's for building bamboo rafts.
Wan Chengan served four cold dishes and eight hot dishes.
What I drank was Guilin’s Sanhua Wine.
"This is Xiangshanshuiyuesanhua wine."
Wan Chengan poured it for Meng Shaoyuan diligently: "Water is the blood in the wine, rice is the meat in the wine, and distiller's yeast is the bone in the wine. Sanhua wine's blood, meat, and bones are all done to perfection. .
Director Meng, you are new to Guilin and your subordinates are ignorant of business affairs. I would like to apologize again. At the same time, on behalf of all my colleagues in the Guilin Group of the Guangxi Station of the Military Command Bureau, I would like to warmly welcome Director Meng! "
"Team Leader Wan is so polite. Come and drink this cup!"
When Meng Shaoyuan first arrived in Guilin, both Wan Chengan and Guo Songsen felt that he had no pretensions at all and was particularly easy to get along with.
Wan Chengan drank a drink and kept introducing Guilin's specialties.
Meng Shaoyuan also looked interested.
Both of them knew that the other was acting, but they both pretended to be enthusiastic.
After drinking a few drinks, Wan Chengan finally said: "Director Meng came to Guilin this time, presumably to guide our work, right?"
"Guidance, that's definitely out of the question." Meng Shaoyuan said unhurriedly: "I am going to Guangdong on business, and when I come back, I will pay a visit to Guangxi.
Team Leader Wan, you know better than me that the webmaster of Guangxi Station has been vacant for too long. "
Wan Chengan was startled.
How could he have thought that Meng Shaoyuan would be so straightforward.
He couldn't figure out the other party's intention, but he didn't know how to answer.
Meng Shaoyuan, however, kept to himself and continued: "Su Yeguang, the former station chief of Guangxi Station, took office less than a year ago. Due to the collective protest of colleagues in Guangxi, the telegram was sent directly to Boss Dai, so you were transferred.
At that time, Boss Dai made such a decision considering that Guangxi was the rear area and in order to avoid ruining the good situation.
This time, I was also ordered to come here to conduct a detailed investigation into Su Yeguang's matter. "
Wan Chengan became very fond of Meng Shaoyuan.
Although he also guessed that Meng Shaoyuan would most likely ask about Su Yeguang when he came this time, and he was prepared to answer the question, but Meng Shaoyuan said it so readily, which he did not expect.
Wan Chengan immediately said: "Since Director Meng is here to investigate this matter, the Ministry of Staff must order his subordinates to cooperate fully."
But Meng Shaoyuan asked: "Why do you want your subordinates to cooperate fully? Doesn't Team Leader Wan cooperate?"
"That's not what I meant." Wan Chengan laughed a few times: "It's actually Su Yeguang who is somewhat involved with the Ministry of Finance. In order to avoid suspicion, it's best not to get involved with the Ministry of Finance."
"Team Leader Wan has done an admirable job." Meng Shaoyuan smiled and said: "As for me, I need to investigate all the clues. No matter how much Team Leader Wan is involved in this matter, I am still happy to hear about it.
Team Leader Wan, I’m leaving my words here today. Whatever you want to say, feel free to say it boldly. I won’t listen to one family’s opinions, nor will I make a big fuss out of it. "
"That's alright, let's be brave."
Wan Cheng'an has reached this point and no longer avoids anything: "Su Yeguang is arrogant, domineering and arrogant. After arriving in Guangxi, he does not distinguish between right and wrong and favors nepotism.
His nephew Cao Hongkuo followed him to Guangxi. Before he could establish his feet, he immediately squeezed out his colleagues and tried to monopolize power.
He actually secretly arrested Tao Xiangrong, the leader of the Nanning group, and then brutally executed him, which finally caused a violent upheaval in Nanning. "
Meng Shaoyuan listened very carefully. After hearing this, he asked: "I also know that Tao Xiangrong was killed. However, it was unclear in the report in Guangxi.
After Su Yeguang was transferred, Boss Dai also asked him specifically, but he couldn't explain it. The murder of a team leader is a big deal, and this is also one of the things I came to investigate this time.
Team Leader Wan, since I'm here this time, please make sure to speak clearly. "
"Yes, I will tell you everything I know."
Wan Chengan took a sip of wine to moisten his throat: "Tao Xiangrong is a veteran agent. In his position, he worked conscientiously and worked hard without complaining.
That time, Cao Hongkuo went to Nanning for inspection under the banner of Su Yeguang. He first demanded bribes, but for the sake of local stability, Lao Tao endured it.
But it wasn't over yet, Cao Hongkuo actually fell in love with a widow and used her crooked mind. "
Meng Shaoyuan was a little curious: "Falling in on a widow? That's not a big problem."
"The identity of this widow is somewhat special." Wan Chengan explained: "Her name is Gu Hainu, and her ex-husband was a regimental commander of our Gui Army. He died during the Battle of Songhu.
Gu Hainu is determined to keep integrity for her husband, but somehow she is attracted by Cao Hongkuo, but Gu Hainu is not hypocritical towards him.
That day, Cao Hongkuo was drunk, so he climbed in through the back window and raped Gu Hainu. After he sobered up, he remembered Gu Hainu's identity and was a little scared. He was worried about causing public opinion, so he threatened Gu Hainu not to speak out about it.
Gu Hainu was a martyr. As soon as Cao Hongkuo left, she left a suicide note, accusing Cao Hongkuo of his beastly behavior. Then, he hanged himself.
When the Nanjing Police Department saw that the matter involved military commanders, they informed Lao Tao. Lao Tao was furious. At that time, he went to Cao Hongkuo to settle the score, saying that he would take the lawsuit to Chongqing and give Gu Hainu justice!
Cao Hongkuo, worried that his scandal would be exposed, actually made a lot of accusations against Lao Tao Luo, then secretly arrested him, and then brutally killed Lao Tao without any procedures.
This completely angered the Nanning military commanders. They rushed into the place where Cao Hongkuo lived, caught and shot him. "
"This is tantamount to mutiny."
Meng Shaoyuan murmured: "Why did you only report an outline of such a big matter?"
"Director Meng, there is nothing we can do." Wan Chengan complained repeatedly: "We don't want to make the matter bigger. Cao Hongkuo is Su Yeguang's nephew, and Su Yeguang is the director of Guangxi Station.
Once this matter is exaggerated, what image will the military commander have in Guangxi? Who will think highly of us? Therefore, for the sake of the overall situation, we can only report this situation vaguely. "
Meng Shaoyuan said "Oh": "I deeply admire Team Leader Wan's hard work on the organization!"
