The moon is as cold as water.
In front of the east chamber door on the south side, under the moonlight, Lu Ming, Erika, Xueruo and Big and Small Guo were playing cards. Big and Small Guo were members of the same family, otherwise they would know each other's cards, which would be too cheating.
Several people kept their voices low so as not to disturb others in the courtyard.
Grandma Camel Dragon stood in front of the door with a kind face and watched them play. Of course, when others saw it, Grandma Camel Dragon's expression was very eerie and strange, but after spending time with her, not only Lu Ming, but also Erika and Xue If you do, you also know that the look in Granny Long's eyes now is the look of love that an elder looks at a junior.
At the dinner, all the male hosts in the backyard drank a little too much. Even Lu Ming was a little dizzy, but he was much better than those others. Even Sun Pojun, who was known as a massive drinker, could also hear the sound coming from the west side at this time. His snoring was loud in the bedroom.
Lu Ming specially gave the four main rooms in the backyard to his second grandson and his wife, namely Sun Pojun and Sun Chonggu.
The four rooms in the east wing, two each for Lu Ming and Ji Fukui, are all arranged horizontally between the inside and outside. Compared with the main room, the area is much smaller, and the wing rooms are low, which is very particular nowadays, so for Therefore, Sun Chonggu is still satisfied.
The card game played by the four of Lu Ming is called "Catch the Bandits". Of course, it is the game rules devised by Lu Ming, similar to the Landlord in the previous life.
All the little girls were having a great time, including Erika, whose eyes were shining with joy, and the beautiful girl in kimono became more and more pure and lovely.
Only Lu Ming actually had a headache. This was a clay kang. In fact, even in the winter in the Northern Territory, it was as warm as spring, but somehow there was still a custom of fire kang. In this way, he and four little girls all slept on the same kang. Grandma Long sleeps in the outer room.
Moreover, Erica and Yurika naturally curled up in his arms to sleep, as if they slept soundly in this way.
This one night or two can still be very cozy, like a little sister, but after a long time, who can bear it?
The main hall door on the east side rang softly, and a figure walked out, but it was Sun Chonggu's wife Yao.
Wearing red satin clothes and trousers, he glanced here and then came over.
Lu Ming had read the military intelligence department's investigation report on her. Yao Xinhui was actually two years older than Sun Chonggu.
The two were married by their grandfather thirty years ago when Sun Chonggu was still an infant.
Yao Xinhui's grandfather was one of the founders of the Third Front Army, and he and Sun Chonggu's grandfather were brothers.
However, not long after the third generation of the two families took over the baby, Yao Xinhui's grandfather passed away due to illness. Yao Xinhui's father, Yao Zhengtong, was just in his twenties at the time. Later, the Third Front Army was gradually controlled by the Sun family. When Sun Chonggu's grandfather passed away, Sun Two years after Gan became the head of the family, Sun Chonggu turned twenty and married Yao Xinhui.
Sun Chonggu was extremely resistant to this marriage, and even escaped from marriage. Originally, he was going to get married when he was sixteen, but his grandfather was seriously ill and delayed for two years, and then his grandfather died and delayed for another two years. Later, he escaped from marriage and was caught again. , and could only submit under the coercion of his father.
More than ten years have passed, and the Third Army has completely transformed into the Sun Army.
Even Yao Xinhui's father, Yao Zhengtong, has left the army to go into business. However, bad luck has caused his family to almost lose all their money. Today, his trading company can barely survive.
The relationship between Yao Xinhui and Sun Chonggu has always been cold, and they still have no children.
On the contrary, Sun Chonggu had an illegitimate son outside, and he took it back to his family to raise. If he wasn't afraid of his father being angry, he was afraid that a woman outside would also take him back.
But thinking about it, in a few years, the Yao family will become a thing of the past, and Sun Gan will turn a blind eye to his son.
In fact, Mr. Yao has a pretty face, but he doesn't wear much make-up, and his hair is now a mess.
"Mr. Zhang, what are you playing at?" Yao stood aside for a while and asked suddenly.
In fact, when Yao stood next to him, the scene was a bit awkward.
Lu Ming was also helpless. With a bunch of bean sprouts around him, how could he know how to entertain and win over people?
Not only did Grandma Tuolong have a weird temper, she was still an old cooking lady, so she had no position to talk to Mr. Yao.
If Liuli was here, she would definitely become Yao's best friend with her petty words and a few words. She would be able to pull out a few steel coins from her bedside table.
Well, as a commissioner, I also need such a woman by my side to win over and entertain the wives of officials.
For example, the 302 Brigade has the idea of turning it into the Montenegrin Army, how to divide it, etc. If he follows the route of his wife Wang, he will be able to find a breakthrough. No matter how accurate the military intelligence department's intelligence is, it is not as good as his wife's understanding of the person next to her. Not to mention using the wife's blowjob to create conflicts, it would get twice the result with half the effort.
Now that Mr. Yao took the initiative to chat, Lu Ming smiled and said: "It's called catching bandits. Does my sister-in-law also like to play cards? How about together? The rules are quite simple."
As he spoke, Lu Ming stood up with a smile, "Come, you guys play."
Although there are not many ethical restrictions in this world, there is something wrong with sitting at a table and playing cards with other people's wives in the middle of the night, so we should still avoid it.
Over there, Mrs. Yao looked at Erika and Xueruo with a hint of surprise in her eyes. The beauties in kimonos, large and small, were like eye-catching colors in a black and white world. Anyone who saw them would be amazed.
However, it seems that Yao is really addicted to playing cards and very talented. He understands the rules in a short time and quickly gets involved.
Several people tried to keep their voices down so as not to disturb others.
Lu Ming took the opportunity to go back to his room, thinking to close his eyes and rest for a while. After they left, it would not be easy to rest peacefully.
…
Early the next morning, Lu Ming was already sitting in the office, which was actually the east main room of the central courtyard. All the furniture had been removed and desks had been set up.
In the office, behind the small table next to the door, sits the confidential secretary Ding Wanjun.
Lu Ming brought several confidential secretaries of Nanping. In fact, the four confidential secretaries of Nanping have been identified by the Intelligence Department. Two of them are spies. One is behind the Japanese organization, and the other is behind Gao Baoshan. It’s also good to send some false news out.
As for the real confidential matters that need to be handled by secretaries, they are all handed over to Ding Wanjun. She was promoted to the director of the Confidential Secretary's Office. It is natural for her to handle the most confidential matters without arousing the suspicion of the two spies. Several subordinates also work in the confidential room of the Intermediate Courtyard.
Lu Ming looked at the defense maps of Guinan, Guidong and Xingcheng counties for a while. These three counties bordered the Guishan Mountains. Historically, these three counties were the hardest hit areas when bandits broke out.
Among them, banditry was the most serious in eastern Guangxi, where all Wanzhou police brigades were deployed.
The various units of the 302 brigade are deployed in southern Guangxi and Xingcheng.
Of course, to deal with the bandits with material support from Haixi, the defense is just a passive attack. We still have to find ways to eliminate the effective forces of the bandits. It is best to draw them out and annihilate them.
After pondering for a while, Lu Ming picked up the side file again, which contained seven or eight file forms, a thick pile.
Lu Ming shook his head, never thinking that one day he would take out this file and look through it.
They were the most beautiful concubines of Chen Rongfu who were taken in by No. 7 Hongta Road.
The dossier is the detailed investigation report of the intelligence system on them when they stayed at No. 7 Hongta Road. They will be taken in only if there are no problems.
Lu Ming had never seen this file, and after all, he didn't want to know anything about Chen Rongfu's concubine.
In fact, these people have all provided a way out. Of course, the best one is Cheng Wanjun, who is already the deputy chairman of the Wanzhou New Life Movement Committee.
It was also a good time. After Wanzhou was restored, a large number of cadres were needed to be supplemented. She, an outstanding female cadre, was also sent here.
The New Life Movement mainly focused on banning opium, cracking down on organized crime, emancipating women's minds, etc. Cheng Wanjun was responsible for women's work.
Lu Ming looked through it, stopped when he reached a table, glanced at it a few times, and put the files into the file.
There were footsteps at the door. He stopped in front of the threshold. Sun Pojun looked majestic in military boots and a brown and green military uniform. Lu Ming waved to him and smiled, "Pojun, come in quickly!"
Ding Wanjun stood up from behind the small table.
Sun Pojun stepped in and took a deep look at Lu Ming, "The commissioner is not going to the public trial meeting in Dahuling Township today?"
Lu Ming smiled and said, "What's the point? It's just that it was too hard to find a lawyer for Liu Taisui. He was afraid of being beaten to death by the angry villagers. In the end, he hired one from Montenegro. No matter what, he also has the right to defend himself."
Sun Pojun obviously couldn't figure this out, and smiled: "General Lu is a thinker, and we can't keep up with him. I came because I just saw Commissioner Zhang's bandit suppression report and wanted to chat with you. Yesterday I met the commissioner for the first time, but I didn't expect that the commissioner could lead the guards, garrison, and militiamen, numbering one hundred and eighty, into the mountains to suppress the bandits, and actually annihilate Liu Taisui's troops and rescue the captives. The villagers captured by the bandits, admire me!" Thumbs up, "I'm here just to give you a thumbs up!" The scar on his face has damaged his nerves, and his smile is not a smile, but a bit ferocious. , but the tone is very sincere.
Lu Ming waved his hand and said with a smile: "A blind cat has encountered a dead mouse, but Po Jun, you just arrived yesterday, and you are in good condition today. It seems that you have read a lot of official documents?"
"Okay, I'm leaving!" Sun Pojun raised his hands, turned around and strode out.
Looking at his back, Lu Ming smiled.
