Zhou Wen hurriedly said humbly: "You don't deserve Commander Gu's praise. Without the support of tens of thousands of elites from your Second Division and Commander Zhang's guidance, I wouldn't dare go deep alone no matter how brave you give me."
After Zhou Wen exchanged greetings with Chief Gu, he said seriously: "Mr. Gu, I have something to report to you. Last night, a group of defeated soldiers attacked the house of Shi Yousan's cousin Shi Shouxin and captured Shi Shouxin and his guards. Kill them all."
Chief Gu didn't like to see people like Shi Yousan who were always at their wits' end and had breasts as their mother. After hearing this, he gloated and waved his hands and said, "Just kill him. It's not us who did it. Besides, I, Lao Gu, don't do it either." His nanny won’t meddle in this kind of business.”
Zhou Wen said softly: "When I heard the movement with the transport team, I rushed in and drove away the defeated troops. It turned out that in addition to the corpses, there were also a lot of property. My people are guarding it now, I'm afraid you have to deal with it yourself."
Chief Gu's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he gave Zhou Wen a knowing look. He has been involved in official circles for many years and has won the trust of the principal, so his head is not in vain. I'm afraid it wasn't you who defeated the army, but you, right? This kid is not a good person. Even he dare not take it all for himself. This property is probably not a small amount. I'm here to find my accomplice.
Commander Gu was worthy of being beaten in the military's oil tank, and he actually guessed Zhou Wen's little thoughts.
But with his strength and background, he won't be afraid of Shi Yousan. Don't be a fool to get free money. Then he waved his hand and said: "Brother Xiao Zhou, lead the way."
Zhou Wen had actually considered several candidates before, but felt that neither Chief Qian nor Chief Zhang was suitable, but Chief Gu was the most suitable. Without him, it's just because Chief Gu has the closest relationship with the principal, and his personality that no one except the principal buys it is the most suitable. So he didn't care if Chief Gu found out his intentions.
It’s not that I have any ill intentions towards you, I’m just giving you some money, why don’t you say you don’t dare to ask for it?
Zhou Wen took Chief Gu to the courtyard of Shi Shouxin's house, called the team members down from upstairs, and then took Chief Gu upstairs.
After entering the main room, Zhou Wen opened all the boxes one by one. There were seven large boxes that were more than one meter long and about 60 centimeters high. There were four big boxes of silvery oceans, two boxes of golden yellow croakers, and one box that was half gold bars and half real estate title deeds.
Even though Chief Gu had repeatedly overestimated figures that even Zhou Wen didn't dare to swallow, he was stunned by the scene in front of him. But he immediately regained his composure, patted Zhou Wen heavily on the shoulder and said, "Good boy, I'm afraid it won't cost you millions, but I appreciate your love, brother."
After thinking about it for a moment, he said, "In this way, this money is for nothing. We two brothers can add two to one to make five, how about half for each of us?"
Zhou Wen said quickly: "This is not possible. Chief Gu has always taken great care of the boy. How can we split it half and half? Let's split it 28% and Chief Gu take 80%."
Although Chief Gu loves money, he is also a person with a bit of loyalty in the officialdom. Naturally, he cannot be too disrespectful to his status. The two of them pushed back and forth, and finally Chief Gu gave the decisive order, 30-70. Zhou Wen had no choice but to accept the order.
Chief Gu was now even more satisfied with Zhou Wen. He thought that this boy could keep his heart in the face of huge wealth and knew the importance of advancing and retreating. He was a person worth dating.
So he did things openly, and on the spot he called on his confidants and several veterans of military accounting to do the counting in front of Zhou Wen.
After a while, rough statistics came out. The gold and silver together were worth about 1.3 million oceans. House deeds and land deeds are calculated separately.
Chief Gu thought for a while and said to Zhou Wen: "Brother Zhou, I'm afraid it's inconvenient for you to carry this money directly. If you trust me, brother, just leave it all to me. In less than a month, I will give you a fifty-fifty piece of money." Wan Dayang Citibank's cashier's check is handed over to you.
Of course Zhou Wen can trust him, and he is not afraid that Chief Gu will take it all for himself. Hehe, their officers clearly know how capable the team they lead is.
He said happily at that moment: "Thank you, Commander Gu. I was really worried about how to take away hundreds of thousands of oceans. This is better."
Since Chief Gu has become an accomplice and is the leader, he naturally has to bear the responsibility of being an accomplice. He opened his mouth and said, "God knows this, and you know it and I know it. Shi Shouxin's home was attacked by a group of defeated soldiers. While the two sides were fighting in the city, the defeated soldiers had already robbed the money and ran away. .
This matter has nothing to do with you Zhou Wen. It was discovered when our second division searched for the remaining enemies. Anyway, there are no witnesses, so whoever wants to investigate can do so. Anyway, this is my explanation, believe it or not. "
After saying that, he looked at Zhou Wen. When he saw Zhou Wen hesitating and about to give up, he frowned and said, "What? Could it be that the group of defeated soldiers left any survivors?"
Zhou Wen said with a little embarrassment: "There are still a few servants who were just tied up, but they are all still there."
Chief Gu glanced at Zhou Wen reproachfully and said, "I didn't expect this group of defeated soldiers to be kind to women. You can't be careless about this kind of thing. Forget it, let me take it back to the army for detailed investigation." , just leave it alone."
Zhou Wen didn't have a good impression of those servants. Just based on the fact that Hongxiu was almost tortured to death from thirst, Zhou Wen thought that everyone in this yard should die. But facing several unarmed civilians, including two women, he really couldn't do anything. Not even letting the brothers do it.
Now that Chief Gu, a veteran, has come forward to clear the traces, Zhou Wen will certainly not have any psychological burden.
Now both parties can be said to be happy.
Chief Gu has made countless achievements along the way, and has been praised by the principal many times. This time he got millions of dollars in property for free. It can be said that he has good luck in officialdom and wealth. I was very happy in my heart.
Zhou Wen killed generals and captured the flag along the way, and finally cooperated with the National Army to capture Xuchang, which was regarded as repaying Commander Qian's kindness. This time, Hongxiu was rescued in time and he also made a fortune. The funds for his return to Shanxi for development were guaranteed. My heart is filled with endless joy.
I saw Chief Gu and Zhou Wen looking at me and me at you, and they burst into laughter in unison...
※※※
In the afternoon, the fighting in the city had long ended. Still at the gate of the east city, Zhou Wen took Zhou Jinbao, accompanied Chief Gu and a group of officers and stood outside the city gate looking into the distance. Commander Qian, the commander-in-chief of the southbound detachment, arrived, and Commander Zhang's Second Teaching Division also arrived.
Zhou Wengong was a big official but a small one, so there was no need to greet him. But for Zhou Jinbao's future, he had to come in person. Taking advantage of the opportunity when several big guys gathered together, he recommended Zhou Jinbao to them. With the recommendation of these powerful men, Zhou Jinbao's regiment-level position was considered stable.
Zhou Jinbao was indispensable for being able to easily win the important town of Xuchang on the Pinghan-Han Line this time. Zhou Wen wanted to arrange this eldest brother before he retired from the army, so as to fulfill the brotherhood between himself and Zhou Jinbao over the past year.
