"Chief Meng."

"how's it going?"

"The Shanghai inspection team has been properly arranged. I took them to visit the special operations team. Shanghai attaches great importance to this inspection. District Mayor Zhou Weilong personally led the team."

Dai Li decided to use the special operations group as a template to establish armed rangers in various places.

Shanghai District is undoubtedly the most positive.

Zhou Weilong, the mayor of Shanghai District, is also a legendary figure.

When Ninghan split in 1927, Zhou Weilong served as the gendarmerie battalion commander in Tang Shengzhi's department and led his troops in Hankou. When Tang Shengzhi sent a telegram to rebel against Chiang Kai-shek, the Chairman of the Standing Committee sent Dai Li to Hankou to instigate rebellion and collect intelligence. Dai Li was arrested by the Wuhan gendarmerie for his carelessness.

, all the information collected was copied, and if reported, one's life would be in danger.

Dai Li found out that the gendarmerie battalion commander Zhou Weilong was a classmate of Huangpu's fourth phase, and asked to meet Zhou.

After the meeting, Zhou Weilong not only released Dai Li, but also abandoned his official position and fled to Nanjing to join the Chairman. As a result, he became a life-and-death friend with Dai Li and became a member of the "Ten People's Regiment", which also established his position in the military unification after Sunday.

.

The spy organization at that time was the "Secret Investigation Team", which was the product of the Chairman's first "out of office" in 1927. Its purpose was to collect intelligence for the Chairman during his absence.

It was at this time that Dai Li started to "run the single gang". Zhou Weilong defected to Dai Li at this time. It was indeed early enough, and he was almost in the same group as Dai Li's classmate Xu Liang.

Among them, Dai Li's approach, although somewhat unexpected, is not surprising if you think about it carefully. This is called "seeking survival in death". As Dai Li at the time, there was no better way than this.

But from Zhou Weilong's perspective, I really don't understand what he is thinking.

Because Dai Li was just a nobody at that time and could not even afford a full meal. It would be obviously too simplistic to say that Zhou Weilong was coveting future "glory and wealth".

Well, that can only explain two problems.

First, Dai Li is indeed not an ordinary person and deserves Zhou Weilong's service.

Secondly, people at that time still had ancient customs, and there were still people who were able to give up everything they already owned for things that were invisible and intangible, such as Zhou Weilong.

This Dai Li's savior and adopted brother is definitely a heavyweight.

As soon as Dai Li set out to establish the armed rangers, Zhou Weilong was also the most active among them. Not only was he the first to start the formation, he even personally led the team to Nanjing for on-site inspections.

It was just that Meng Shaoyuan happened to have some tasks today, so Tian Qi accompanied Zhou Weilong and his party to the base camp.

Meng Shaoyuan asked about the situation and was about to say something. When he looked up, he found that Tian Qi's expression was a little strange: "What's wrong, Lao Qi?"

Tian Qi was silent for a while: "Chief Meng, I want to resign from all positions and return to my hometown to work in farming."

"What?" Meng Shaoyuan was startled: "Old Qi, are you crazy? If you have anything to say, tell me directly. Don't threaten me with resignation. Besides, don't you know that our organization is for life? Come in.

, don’t even think about quitting again.”

"I..." Tian Qi hesitated. This was completely unlike his past style. After gritting his teeth, he said: "I saw Yan Fuguang."

"Who? Yan Fuguang?"

Meng Shaoyuan suddenly thought of it.

Could it be that he was the restaurant owner from Tian Qi's same village who killed Tian Qi's first love, Shen Chunlan, and finally absconded and disappeared?

That big enemy that Tian Qi never forgets?

"What's going on? Tell me carefully."

Meng Shaoyuan's face darkened.

"In this inspection group, there was a man named Yan Xiaoguo. I recognized him at a glance. He was Yan Fuguang." Tian Qi said calmly: "In the past few years, I have changed so much that he did not recognize me, and he never recognized me. From beginning to end, I avoided direct contact with him, so he didn’t know that I was the young apprentice back then.”

"Where is he now?"

"We arranged to stay at the Yangtze Hotel." Tian Qi said calmly: "I have been looking for him for so many years, and God was wise and allowed me to see him in Nanjing. Now that he is here, don't plan to go back alive. He Since he is with the inspection team, he is also one of ours.

I kill each other internally, and the family law does not allow it. But it is absolutely impossible for me, Tian Qi, to give up revenge. Chunlan died unjustly for so many years, and she is still looking at me in the sky. Tian Qi will kill Yan Fuguang, even if it violates the family law. , I will not hesitate to cut him to pieces. If you can see that we are sworn brothers, please let me kill my enemies first, and then deal with me according to family law!"

"Lao Qi, you are very good." Meng Shaoyuan said calmly: "I have found an enemy who has been tracking for so many years. You are not impulsive, you have tolerated it until now, and you can still consider the overall situation and not implicate the brothers. You are really good."

Suddenly, he sneered: "We drink blood wine and we are brothers. The brothers' women were insulted and the brothers' women were killed. As the boss, if I don't stand up for my brothers, then I am not the boss!"

Tian Qi was surprised and happy: "Chief Meng, could it be that you..."

"Don't be impatient." Meng Shaoyuan thought about it carefully: "Yan Fuguang was brought by Zhou Weilong, and Zhou Weilong is a veteran and Mr. Dai's brother. If you don't calculate well, if Zhou Weilong makes trouble, Mr. Dai will not be able to step down. .In this way, you keep a close eye on Yan Fuguang, and I will personally pay a visit to Zhou Weilong."

Tian Qi nodded silently, and then he suddenly knelt down:

"Boss Meng..."

He actually called Meng Shaoyuan "Boss Meng": "I said, I am a vicious dog beside you. Although we are sworn friends, I know that I am not worthy. I am still a vicious dog beside you. But this vicious dog, and The evil dog of the past is no longer the same. The life of this evil dog of mine is dead, I died for you, Boss Meng!"

Tian Qi gave his life to Meng Shaoyuan, and from this minute he regarded himself as a dead person!

"Get up, I promised you in Shanghai that I will definitely help you get revenge." Meng Shaoyuan said coldly: "No one can hurt my brother except me."

…

Meng Shaoyuan has now become a frequent visitor to the Yangtze Hotel.

The eldest lady came to live here, Shang Qianyi came to live here, and now the inspection team is still here.

Meng Shaoyuan found out that Zhou Weilong was very addicted to smoking, so he went to buy two Hard Gates.

He knocked on Zhou Weilong's door with a cigarette in his hand. When he heard that Meng Shaoyuan, the most popular man under Mr. Dai, was here, Zhou Weilong immediately invited him in politely.

Zhou Weilong has a very conceited character. In his early years, he wrote this couplet on the dragon pattern on the Zhaobi wall in Danchi, his hometown: "How can things in the pond be able to create rocks in the sky?"

This is evident from this.

Things like Jun Tong, Shen Zui, Yang Jirong, Gong Xianfang, and the "Three Lis and One Gold" of the Hunan Gang, etc., were not in his eyes at all.

For him to be so polite to Meng Shaoyuan, I think Dai Li had mentioned his preference for Meng Shaoyuan to him many times before coming here.

"District Chief Zhou, I'm really sorry." Meng Shaoyuan said as soon as he came in: "You are here, but not only did I not go to pick you up, I didn't even accompany the special operations team to inspect you. I'm rude, I'm rude."

"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. Mr. Dai told me that you just have a mission."

Zhou Weilong was quite satisfied with his first meeting with Meng Shaoyuan.

Although he is in Shanghai, he knows the situation in Nanjing very well.

Meng Shaoyuan's rise to fame was astonishing. He had made many military exploits and was favored by Dai Li. In a short period of time, he became the youngest department-level cadre.

Not only that, Tang Zong, who was deeply trusted by Dai Li, was also Meng Shaoyuan's old boss. Last time Tang Zong went to Shanghai for business, Zhou Weilong hosted a banquet for him, and Tang Zong was also full of praise for Meng Shaoyuan.

Although Zhou Weilong is conceited, he is not stupid.

He was a high official in the border areas in Shanghai, while Meng Shaopin was at the feet of the emperor and was the trump card in the hands of Dai Li, an important official in the imperial court. Such a person must find ways to establish a good relationship.

It stands to reason that a young man like Meng Shaoyuan, who is so popular, would be very proud.

But when they met today, Zhou Weilong found that this young man was humble and polite, and he had special respect for himself.

Zhou Weilong is a veteran-level figure who pays special attention to how others treat him.

Shen Zui did not do this very well.

He was also highly regarded by Dai Li and was also a leader among the young spies. However, he was sent to Shanghai and held great power, but his personality was too lively and he did not pay much attention to rules, so he attracted Zhou Weilong's displeasure.

Meng Shaoyuan was different.

As soon as he sat down, he put down two cigarettes: "District Chief Zhou, I heard that you are a good smoker. This is the first time I see you and I can't be empty-handed, so I brought you two cigarettes."

"Oh, Xiao Meng, you are so polite, so polite." Zhou Weilong said with a smile: "You are giving a gift. Everyone knows that I never accept gifts."

This is absolutely true.

Zhou Weilong's character is the same as Dai Li's, he likes power and is not greedy for money.

Although he has been an official, he does not manage private property and is willing to help others, so he has not lost any money.

There is another interesting story about Zhou Weilong taking his newlywed wife back to his hometown. After arriving home, Ma Pi asked his father: "Where is Ma Guan?"

Father Zhou said angrily: "Tie it to the frame of your master's bed."

After that, Zhou Weilong bought 40 acres of paddy fields in his hometown.

Meng Shaoyuan immediately said: "It's just two cigarettes, it doesn't mean anything. If I go to visit other high-ranking officials with two cigarettes in my hand, I'm afraid I won't be kicked out if I can't say a few words."

"Other senior officials".

Meng Shaoyuan secretly called Zhou Weilong a "senior official", which made Zhou Weilong, who had a strong desire for power, extremely happy. Moreover, Meng Shaoyuan had something in his words, complimenting him on his integrity, which made Zhou Weilong even more happy:

"Yes, the country is in an emergency period, but some of our officials are still focused on making money, without any consideration for the government. It is also because our rights are smaller, otherwise we must arrest these corrupt officials one by one. Xiao Meng

,smokes."

He opened a pack of cigarettes, took out a pack, and gave a cigarette to Meng Shaoyuan: "I am borrowing flowers to offer to Buddha. Haha, I accept gifts from others, which are really rare. As the old saying goes, eat what others have.

You are soft-spoken and short-handed with other people's hands. Do you, Xiao Meng, have something to do with me?"
