Some people say that the air after the rain is the freshest. Tang Cheng, who was holding his hands on his knees and breathing heavily on a stone platform, didn't think so. If he just ran continuously, it would not be a difficult task for Tang Cheng, who had taken many physical potions. But if you have to run continuously on a winding mountain road, and cover a distance of more than 20 kilometers in one run, even Tang Cheng, who has an abnormal physical fitness, will be a little overwhelmed.
After about half a cigarette, Tang Cheng finally straightened up after adjusting his breathing. Standing on the stone platform, he looked far into the distance. The freshness after the rain finally showed its power at this moment. Tang Cheng's face slowly showed his emotions. Come with a soothing smile. It has been more than three months since I arrived in Chongqing. Tang Cheng is getting familiar with the city and slowly integrating himself into it. In the memory of later generations in Tangcheng, he had been to Chongqing, but there was no comparison between that Chongqing and the Chongqing in front of him now.
After adjusting his breath on the spot for a while, Tang Cheng began to box on the stone platform as he was used to. During the time he came to Chongqing, as long as it was not windy and rainy, Tang Cheng would always come here to practice boxing. An hour later, the originally quiet Chongqing became lively. People gradually walked out of their homes, some were going to school, some were going to work, and some were going out for breakfast. Tang Cheng's kind of getting up early just for exercise is rare in Chongqing. At least during this period of time in Tang Cheng, he has not found anyone who gets up as early as himself to exercise.
Slowly walking down the mountain along the way, Tang Cheng's coarse shirt that was originally soaked with sweat was being dried bit by bit by the sun and Tang Cheng's body temperature. I have been in Chongqing for more than three months. Except for the first month, Tang Cheng lived with his family. After Zhang Jianghe took over the position of deputy director of Chongqing Station, Tang Cheng followed Zhang Jianghe and moved out of his home. In a courtyard not far from the Chongqing Intelligence Station compound.
Tang Cheng didn't want to live separately from his family, but Zhang Jianghe had a good reason. This was Chongqing, a place full of pao brothers, not Nanjing. Whether it is the intelligence office or the police station, it is a place where it is easy to offend people and make enemies. If you encounter a stubborn guy who threatens your family, it will be too late to regret it. Zhang Jianghe's reasons were so strong that Tang Cheng was speechless. After discussing with his mother, Tang Cheng, who promised to go home to have dinner with his family every week, moved here with Zhang Jianghe.
I walked around Tangcheng and looked around. When I passed by the street corner, Heizi, dressed as a boy, was waiting at the door of the breakfast shop at the street corner with a packed breakfast. "Next time, don't be stupid and wait outside!" Tang Cheng, who took the breakfast from Heizi's hand and paid attention to the movement around him, whispered. Heizi, who could already speak Sichuan accent fluently, just smiled, and using Tang Cheng's body as a shield, he secretly made a series of gestures to Tang Cheng.
This breakfast shop in the street has been open for more than two months. The boss is Mr. Ma's apprentice. No one knows that this breakfast shop in the street opened here entirely because of Tangcheng and Zhang Jianghe. Heizi's sign language made Tang Cheng slightly stunned. He stretched out his hand and rubbed Heizi's head. Tang Cheng turned around and walked away as if nothing had happened. Both Tangcheng and Zhangjianghe are outsiders to Chongqing.
Even if Zhang Jianghe holds a high position, he will inevitably be squeezed out by the local faction in the Chongqing Intelligence Station, let alone Tangcheng, which is just a small police chief. "Uncle, let's eat first!" Back in the small courtyard, Zhang Jianghe, who had already gotten up, was looking through official documents. When he heard Tang Cheng's voice, Zhang Jianghe immediately put down the official documents, reached out and pinched the bridge of his nose and walked out of the study slowly. "Uncle, let me tell you, since you are appointed in Nanjing to be in charge of external operations, why not just talk to those fat guys and form a separate action team?"
Tang Cheng placed the porridge bowl gently in Zhang Jianghe's hand and raised his eyes to look at the frowning Zhang Jianghe. Tang Cheng sat down across the table, peeling eggs and advising Zhang Jianghe. "You have the right to think that you are an operations captain at the level of deputy station commander. As long as you catch the Japanese spies lurking in Chongqing, no one will dare to deprive you of your merits as deputy station commander. According to the Nanjing headquarters , whether you have the ability or the background, everything must be based on merit."
Tang Cheng tried hard to solve the problem, and Zhang Jianghe's expression became slightly better. However, the situation was not solved for a long time, so Zhang Jianghe's mood never really improved. "It's not that I haven't thought about what you said, but if I start a new action team to form an action team, how will the funds be solved? How will the personnel be solved? There is also a problem of staffing!" Finally finished breakfast with Tang Cheng's persuasion. , Zhang Jianghe's face showed a faint sadness again.
Zhang Jianghe's complaint made Tang Cheng look at him sideways. Zhang Jianghe raised his head and met Tang Cheng's rolling eyes in his direction. "Uncle, you were not like this when you were in Nanjing! How come you have only been in Chongqing for three months and you are already turning into a clay Buddha statue in the temple?" Tang Cheng rolled his eyes at Zhang Jianghe, but at this moment After several attempts, he began to ridicule Zhang Jianghe.
"Heizi and the others came to Chongqing earlier than us, and with the help of Mr. Ma, they have figured out the situation in Shapingba a long time ago. I have also contacted some veteran police officers who have failed in the Shapingba Police Station these days. As long as you feel that the suggestion I just made is feasible, I will take care of the funding issue and ensure that the little people in your station can’t find any fault at all." Tang Cheng’s voice paused, and at the same time he turned to Zhang Jiang and He raised his eyebrows.
Tang Cheng's character is not out-of-the-box, but Zhang Jianghe knows that Tang Cheng is someone who dares to dig holes and bury people in the street. As long as he nods his head at this moment, maybe before it's time for lunch, Tang Cheng will be able to kill the whole person. Shapingba was turned upside down. "Uncle, don't shake your head yet. You must listen to what I have to say first!" Zhang Jianghe knew Tang Cheng, and Tang Cheng also knew Zhang Jianghe. Seeing the corners of Zhang Jianghe's mouth drop, Tang Cheng knew that Zhang Jianghe would never agree with him. Regarding Shapingba's thoughts, he continued to speak.
"Uncle, I am also a police chief now, so I will not commit crimes. My suggestion is that we can start with the cigarette dealers. The government has been banning smoking, and we are also protecting it by doing so. Government decree! If the opium dealers are confiscated, the funds for the formation of the action team will be solved. There are many bandits and bandits around Chongqing. These can become targets for our military training. As long as we choose the right target, funds and equipment will no longer be needed. It's a difficult task, but with available manpower, your words in the intelligence station will have weight."
What Tang Cheng said at this moment were not all his own thoughts. What he said at this moment was compiled after combining the opinions of Master Ma and Zhang Xin. Tang Cheng's words made Zhang Jianghe fall into deep thought. After a while, Zhang Jianghe spoke. "Things are not as simple as you said. After all, I am just the deputy station chief. Although Xu Zifeng has only been the station chief of Chongqing for more than a year, he is good at winning over his subordinates. He also has a cousin who is a senior official in the city government. If he rashly If we crack down on cigarette dealers, they will only think that we are destroying their way of making money."
There was a profound meaning in Zhang Jianghe's words, and Tang Cheng understood it as soon as he rolled his eyes. "Uncle, why don't we go directly to the trouble of the bandits! There are quite a few bandits around Chongqing. Just kill a few of them, and the confiscated property may be enough for you to form an action team, and this will also make you famous. , This is a good thing that kills two birds with one stone." Tang Cheng continued to encourage Zhang Jianghe to go to Chongqing to suppress bandits. Without the support of the intelligence station, a small role like Tang Cheng would not be able to do it.
Zhang Jianghe looked at Tang Cheng expressionlessly. Seeing Tang Cheng's reaction, Zhang Jianghe knew that his nephew must have goals and plans. Tang Cheng, who was stared at by Zhang Jianghe, would not feel embarrassed. Under Zhang Jianghe's eyes, Tang Cheng smiled and said. "One of Mr. Ma's apprentices met a few native masters a few days ago. According to those few native masters, among the bandits around Chongqing, the weakest one is Xu Baldzi. However, this Xu Baldzi has a good life. He was just last month. I dug out an ancient tomb and heard that there are many good things hidden in it."
Tang Cheng sounded like he was planning to take advantage of others, and Zhang Jianghe frowned secretly. However, he did not reprimand Tang Cheng, because Tang Cheng's motive for planning to take advantage of others was not to put everything in his pocket. "Someone under Mr. Ma is keeping an eye on Xu Tuzi. This guy has a lover in the city. Maybe in the next few days, Xu Tuzi will bring people into the city to do business. At that time, we will guard the door of his lover's house. If we block it, the money and people will be ours."
There were still many loopholes in Tang Cheng's plan, but neither he nor Zhang Jianghe paid too much attention to it. After all, they had to deal with just a bandit leader, not a thoughtful Japanese spy. After thinking secretly for a while, Zhang Jianghe nodded immediately, "Okay, when it comes to arresting people, I will assign a few people to help you. However, when doing this, don't make too much noise, and it's best not to shoot."
Zhang Jianghe finally listened to his suggestion, and Tang Cheng secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Although he failed to achieve the goal of cleaning up Shapingba, Tang Cheng knew that as long as he got this started, the next thing would be easier to handle. . After breakfast, Zhang Jianghe went to the intelligence station to continue working, but Tang Cheng changed into casual clothes and left the courtyard. As a sergeant, he was more relaxed than the police chief, and he had no intention of reporting to the police station every day.
After locking the courtyard door, Tang Cheng did not go to look for Heizi, but changed direction and walked slowly to the other end of the street. The routes in Chongqing are complicated, and often when walking along one road, there will suddenly be three or two forked roads. Tang Cheng has not gone to work at the police station just to get familiar with the routes and environment in Chongqing. Tang Cheng's height and clothing showed that he was not a local from Chongqing. As he turned along the side street and turned into another street, Tang Cheng discovered that there was a stalker looming behind him, and there was more than one person.
