Liang Shuer was wiped out, which caused quite a sensation in Chongqing.

This ruthless bandit had been causing trouble to the local area for many years, and Liu Xiang had not been able to eliminate him. But not long after the government moved the capital, he was actually eliminated?

Originally, because the relocation of the capital brought a lot of unexpected troubles and chaos to Chongqing, some local people complained, but now this dissatisfaction has been quickly subsided.

The thinking of ordinary people is very simple. If you do something good for them, they will naturally be grateful to you.

This incident was mainly planned by the military commanders, so the government gave high praise to the military commanders, believing that they cooperated with the military to eliminate waste and ensure local stability.

It is said that before the Chairman summoned Dai Li to inquire about his work behind enemy lines, he also asked him casually: "Yunong, why did you go to suppress the bandits?"

"The Liang bandits colluded with the Japanese. They were lying on the side of the bed, thinking that they were a nuisance to their close friends." Dai Li replied respectfully, "Therefore, I ordered Meng Shaoyuan to suppress them."

"Meng Shaoyuan? That Meng Shaoyuan who saved my special plane?" The chairman still remembered this person: "I saw in the report that several Japanese were killed and a lot of weapons were seized, even two cannons?"

"It's not that exaggerated." Dai Li didn't hide anything: "Commissioner, it's impossible for the Japanese to take a fancy to bandits like Liang Shao'er and send agents to command them personally? That's nonsense. What about light machine guns and cannons?

There are two machine guns, one cannot fire, one is ours, and as for the cannon, it is just two pieces of wood hollowed out and painted."

Not only was the chairman not angry after hearing this, but a smile flashed across his lips.

"This Meng Shaoyuan pretends to be a ghost all day long." Dai Li continued: "I went to investigate and found out that one of his subordinates named Pan Dashuang begged Meng Shaoyuan to eliminate harm for the people, and Meng Shaoyuan agreed."

The Chairman nodded: "It is good to eliminate harm for the people."

"He is not so kind." Dai Li replied respectfully: "He took a fancy to the bandits' loot. He got a total of six boxes, gave one to the army assisting the bandits, and left two boxes for the villagers of Yanzui Village.

I had one agent under my command, but I greedily stole one and turned one over."

"That's not too greedy."

"Yes, he doesn't have a bad heart. Originally, he wanted to hand over all the remaining boxes, but later his subordinates strongly opposed it, so he kept one box."

"It's actually nothing if you have a dark heart." The chairman said slowly: "An honest official may not be a capable minister. There are many corrupt officials who are capable. Greed of money, a dark heart, and minor problems will not harm the party and the country.

As long as your heart is straight and you work loyally for the party and the country, let it go."

"Yes, my subordinates think so too. Meng Shaoyuan has a lot of problems, but his ability to do things is first-rate, he is loyal and reliable, and he is regarded as a formidable enemy by the Japanese. There is no problem with his loyalty."

Dai Li knew the Chairman's temper very well, so he dared to comment on Meng Shaoyuan in front of the Chairman.

The Chairman's first requirement for his subordinates is loyalty, and then ability. He can turn a blind eye to other minor shortcomings.

Everyone knows that Liu Zhi, commander of the First Army of the Army, is a fool in the military, but he has always won the trust of the Chairman. Why?

It's because he is loyal to the Chairman.

Since the Anti-Japanese War, he has done nothing but escape and was nicknamed "General Long Legs". However, even so, the Chairman of the Generalissimo still gave him the important task of Chongqing Air Defense Commander.

On the contrary, people with many minor flaws are easy to control and exploit. Those who are truly upright and upright are difficult to completely control.

"Well, I heard that Meng Shaoyuan has made many meritorious deeds in Shanghai." The chairman pondered for a moment: "This time he made a mistake and wiped out the Liang bandits, which greatly increased the confidence of the Chongqing military and civilians in the government. The newspapers also praised him, which is still a bit

For meritorious service. Praise him and give him a hundred yuan as a reward. I’m afraid he won’t take notice of this small amount of money.”

"Commissioner, my subordinate boldly suggested that I might as well say that the one hundred yuan was a private reward for him."

The chairman was startled, and then he understood what Dai Li meant. The nature and meaning of rewards given by the government and those awarded privately are very different.

"You can do it as you see fit. But you have to give him some tips. Don't think that his little tricks can really deceive everyone. Let him serve the country properly."

"Yes, the appointment, my subordinates understand."

…

Meng Shaoyuan was proud of the spring breeze.

After annihilating Liang Shaoer, Song of Departure was finally obtained.

Dai Li wanted to summon him again. Combined with the good comments in the newspapers in the past two days, which made the government look bad, Dai Li probably wanted to praise himself.

"Mr. Dai."

As soon as he entered the office, Meng Shaoyuan's voice was loud.

"Meng Shaoyuan, you did a good job in wiping out the Liang bandits." Dai Li said straight to the point: "You also killed a few Japanese by the way. By the way, what are the names of those Japanese spies?"

"In reply to Mr. Dai, one is named Yamamoto Taro and the other is Sato Otake..."

"You remember it well."

"Shao Yuan is in this business. I dare not not remember it clearly."

"Shaoyuan, I'm very curious." Dai Li suddenly said: "You have grown so big, will you never blush when you tell lies?"

"Mr. Dai, Shao Yuan doesn't understand what you mean."

"You bastard, you get two bandits, change your clothes, and give them a Japanese name, and you become a Japanese spy?" Dai Li slapped the table: "Meng Shaoyuan, you falsely reported your military exploits and fabricated intelligence. What crime should you be guilty of!"

Meng Shaoyuan was shocked: "Mr. Dai, you are unjust..."

"I can't wrong you!" Dai Li pointed at Meng Shaoyuan: "Take out the family laws and look at them. If there is one, it counts as the same. These two are enough to enforce the family laws! You tell yourself what to do!"

"Mr. Dai, tell me, I failed." Meng Shaoyuan decided to admit defeat.

I knew that this could never be hidden from Dai Li, but it was just a show-off for others to see. It would not only make the government look good, but also the military commander and Dai Li, right?

But who would have thought why Dai Li would be so furious?

"What should I do? According to my point of view, it is not unfair to shoot you." Dai Li reprimanded sternly, and then softened his tone: "But now is the time to employ people. If I didn't see that you are still of some use, I can't spare you. Meng Shaoyuan

, the government moved the capital to Chongqing, and also organized a nationwide resistance war, which was very costly and the finances were tight."

"Mr. Dai." Meng Shaoyuan called out as soon as he heard this: "I am trapping you here. Are you trying to blackmail me?"

"Bastard, you openly contradicted your boss, and you have another crime!" Dai Li sneered: "Meng Shaoyuan, you can tell yourself, among the three crimes, do you want money or your life?"

"It's life-threatening. It's life-threatening. Mr. Dai, please tell me directly, how much does it cost to clear one charge? Let me make it clear, our military commander is a Qingshui yamen, and I have always had the best of both worlds. I really have no money."

"Meng Shaoyuan, I think your shamelessness is rare in ancient times and modern times." Dai Li was angry and funny: "One crime costs at least three thousand yuan."

Hey, it’s not bad.

Meng Shaoyuan nodded repeatedly.

"I'm talking about the ocean."

"Ah! Mr. Dai, are you robbing?"

"Don't worry, there's more. I heard that when you arrived in Chongqing, you were very impressive. All the spies went to greet you. What are you going to do? This crime is also three thousand."

"Mr. Dai, if I didn't take you like this, you would be worse than Liang Shaer..."

"Insulting the boss again, a new crime..."

"I didn't say it."

"It's almost as good as saying it... By the way, the Qiu family, a wealthy businessman in Chongqing, gave you a big house. You accepted bribes from the businessmen privately. This is a felony. It costs at least 5,000 yuan..."

Meng Shaoyuan quickly interrupted, who could stand it if this continues: "Mr. Dai, Director Dai, I suddenly remembered that when we suppressed the bandits, we found more than one box of stolen goods, and there seems to be another box. I will go back and look for it.

I might be able to find it. I'll hand it over as soon as I find it. It's worth 40,000 to 50,000 yuan."

"Oh, you hid another box secretly..."

"Mr. Dai, hey, don't accuse me anymore. No matter how you look for it, you can't collect the charges of 40,000 to 50,000 yuan. I suppressed the bandits with good intentions, and I lost money. I also used a machine gun, so this

You can't do good things. Come on, let this be my life money. If I do something wrong again in the future, it will be deducted from the remaining money."

"You are in an important position, but you talk like a businessman. How can it be so?" Dai Li sneered: "You still have merit in suppressing bandits. Meng Shaoyuan!"

"arrive!"

"Meng Shaoyuan, for guarding the local area and eliminating lurking bandits and bringing peace to the surrounding areas, is specially awarded the third-class Yunhui Medal with a large yellow ribbon."

"Do your best to serve the party and the country!"

Yes, another medal.

The third one.

Now that I have received the medal, I am not as enthusiastic as when I first received it.

Dai Li took out the medal and put a hundred French coins on the table: "This is your bonus."

"You can keep it." Meng Shaoyuan sighed: "40,000 to 50,000 yuan are gone, please give me one hundred yuan."

"Meng Shaoyuan, this hundred yuan is extraordinary."

"Can it be used as ten thousand yuan?"

"More than that, far more than that."

Oh? Meng Shaoyuan suddenly became curious.

Dai Li became more serious: "This is a private reward given to you by the Chairman."

What?

Meng Shaoyuan was shocked. This was really no small matter.

"Shaoyuan, the committee still values ​​you very much." Dai Li stared at him: "Do well and don't let down the committee and my expectations of you."

"Shao Yuan understands! Shao Yuan will treasure it when he gets back."

…

"Sir Meng, are you out?"

Xu Zhu had already been waiting outside: "The Japanese spy we caught on the boat..."

"Don't worry about the Japanese spies for now. Quickly ask, when is the earliest ship to leave Chongqing for Shanghai?"

Xu Zhu was stunned.

It's such an urgent matter that Chief Meng doesn't even have time to deal with the Japanese spies.

"I'll go meet that Japanese spy later." Meng Shaoyuan muttered there: "Damn it, you created a clever name and extorted money. If I don't leave, I will go bankrupt!"

Xu Zhu was confused.
Chapter completed!
