This journey has indeed been smooth sailing, with occasional ups and downs at most.

Wang Jingzhong relied on the familiarity of the road and specialized in picking up difficult waterways. He was traveling with the wind and the Japanese army did not see him at all. When entering Taihu Lake, there were occasionally small groups of bandits. As long as they showed the "王" flag, no one dared to harass them.

.

Immediately, several more small boats were added to the fleet, and they came in batches to escort.

Entering the Suzhou section and Wuxi section of Taihu Lake, the ships sent by Yue Zhenchuan and Wei Yunzhe to "protect" also arrived.

There are machine guns mounted on the bows of each ship, which is majestic.

When asked about Yue Zhenchuan and Wei Yunzhe, their people said that the two detachment leaders were already in Wuxi to greet the commander by land.

broken.

Yuan Zhonghe felt a thump in his heart.

It's broken. It's broken.

Master Meng didn't have any good intentions as soon as he got on the ship, and first blackmailed Wang Jingzhong.

It was a tragedy caused by a hair.

Now neither Lao Yue nor Xiao Wei came to "protect" him immediately. Aren't they being caught by this rogue district chief?

Lao Yue, Xiao Wei, you are not sensible either. How long have you been following Master Meng? Don’t you still understand his temper?

You are all feudal officials, and you are all assigned to good places. You are all well-fed and strong.

I'm afraid Meng Shaoyuan will be targeting you in Shanghai.

You see, when Master Meng comes this time, he will never give up without ruthlessly extorting money.

"Sir Meng, we are almost reaching the shore."

"Ah, it's pretty fast."

Meng Shaoyuan got up from the chair and stretched: "Damn it, I drank so much water, I need to urinate urgently."

It is most convenient to relieve yourself on the boat.

When you come to the side of the boat, you can unbutton your pants and pee.

Yuan Zhonghe also felt the need to urinate, so he stood next to Meng Shaoyuan and relieved himself together.

"Lao Yuan, let's have a competition to see who can pee the farthest." Meng Shaoyuan was actually so enthusiastic about this matter.

How could Yuan Zhonghe compete with him? What if he caught him in trouble?

At that time, after half a pee, he did not forget to compliment him: "The chief is the chief. I urinate three feet in the wind. Old Yuan, I am willing to be inferior. I am willing to be inferior."

"Did you lose?"

"Lost, lost."

"By the way, I didn't say what the bet was just now, did I?"

ah!

Yuan Zhonghe looked pale.

I tried to defend myself against him, but I still couldn't guard against this move of Master Meng!

Master Meng put on his trousers and said slowly: "We are all old brothers. Let's just have fun. Just ten thousand oceans. Hey, I don't accept legal tender. Write me a check when you get off the boat."

Yuan Zhonghe almost fainted.

This is probably the most expensive pee he has ever had in his life...

…

“District Chief Meng!”

“District Chief Meng!”

As soon as they got off the boat, Yue Zhenchuan and Wei Yunzhe were already there with a small team to greet them.

We haven’t seen each other for a while, and the two of them have bright red faces.

Especially for Yue Zhenchuan, his life was very pleasant.

This guy is addicted to gambling, but his gambling skills are not good, and he loses nine times out of ten.

But after he started to lead the team alone and take charge of the place, he suddenly discovered a secret to win every bet.

Gather those traitorous businessmen and landlords and put up Pai Gow, with Yue Zhenchuan taking charge.

What was slightly different from the casino was that there was a circle of big men with loaded guns standing around the gaming table.

Who dares to win?

At first, there was a stubborn landowner who did not believe in evil and wanted to bet with his Yue Zhenchuan.

As a result, Yue Zhenchuan was killed without leaving a trace.

Yue Zhenchuan did not fall out on the spot. The next day, a large number of armed men suddenly rushed into the landlord's house.

The leader is Yue Zhenchuan.

This landowner had helped the Japanese collect grain, but Yue Zhenchuan pronounced him a traitor on the spot and confiscated all his property.

The man is fine, it can be regarded as the kindness of his Yue detachment leader.

After that, Yue Zhenchuan's "reputation" that he was a poor gambler and could only win but not lose spread among the traitors.

"District Chief Meng is an auspicious person. He has not touched a leaf among thousands of troops. Congratulations to District Chief Meng for being out of danger." Yue Zhenchuan asked people to arrange the children while he kept complimenting and flattering them.

"Don't do this." Meng Shaoyuan was still thinking about business: "Put the children into clean clothes, have a good meal, have a good sleep, and take them to see my teacher tomorrow."

"Hurry up, hurry up." Yue Zhenchuan and Wei Yunzhe did not dare to neglect.

After the children were settled and a banquet was prepared, they followed the old rules and went to the home of a local landowner who had been convicted of being a traitor and was not dealing with the matter for the time being to see the consequences.

This is Wei Yunzhe's territory. The landlord he specially selected said that a high-ranking official of the National Government from Shanghai wanted to come and dine at his house. This was because of the good deeds accumulated by the landlord's family and could help him atone for his sins to some extent.

The standard of the meal was so-so, with twelve cold dishes and eighteen hot dishes just fine. This officer from Shanghai is not picky.

Just want more meat and less vegetarian food.

This is really hard for this big landowner, who has been busy since yesterday afternoon.

"Lao Yue, Xiao Wei." Wang Jingzhong has become very familiar with them in the past two years: "I also brought two jars of good wine. We are here to welcome the chief today, so we have to drink them all."

"That's it, that's it." Yue Zhenchuan was overjoyed and looked at Yuan Zhonghe's sad face: "Old Yuan, I haven't seen you for a while, why do you see the bitter faces of your brothers?"

Damn it, why don't you pee and lose ten thousand oceans to try and be happy?

Yuan Zhonghe winked and called Yue Zhenchuan and Wei Yunzhe to his side: "Brothers, be careful. Master Meng is becoming more and more shameless now. He has turned from cheating to blatant blackmail."

"Ah, what's going on?"

"If I pee on the boat, he can extort me ten thousand yuan!"

"Oh my God!"

"It's nothing to me. With Wang Jingzhong, I was able to blackmail a gunboat with just one hair."

The expressions of Yue Zhenchuan and Wei Yunzhe suddenly changed.

How did Meng Shaoyuan become so proficient in this shameless magical skill?

…

"District Chief Meng, please, please, this is the real Taihu white fish."

"District Chief Meng, I offer you a toast, massive, massive!"

At the banquet, Yue Zhenchuan and Wei Yunzhe were both harboring evil intentions and fearing that they might accidentally offend the young master. That would be a very sad day.

After drinking for three rounds, Yue Zhenchuan took out a pocket watch from his pocket and put it on the table respectfully:

"District Chief Meng, I went to the house of a traitor and found this. The real English watch is said to have come from the palace and is worth at least several thousand oceans. This is a tribute to you from my subordinates."

"Okay, okay." Meng Shaoyuan glanced at the pocket watch, but did not move his hand: "Just this watch, if it breaks the sky, is worth hundreds of oceans. If it gets soaked in the money that flows out of the palace, its worth will increase several times."

Wei Yunzhe snorted in his heart.

what?

Master Meng has never seen anything good, but a pocket watch can get rid of him?

Fortunately, I was prepared in advance.

"You all have come from afar, and I have put together a little show to entertain you."

Wei Yunzhe clapped his hands.

After a while, two maids brought in a guzheng, and then, a beautiful woman who looked to be in her mid-twenties came in.

As soon as he came in, he said a little blessing, sat down, stroked the guzheng, and played a song.

The playing is very melodious and melodious.

Li Zhifeng, Xiao Zhong, including Sophia and Alison, have never seen such a scene. Although they can't understand what is being played, they just feel that they are enjoying it very much.
