Signing in during the Republic of China: Starting from a foot patrol

Chapter 203

Under a large bowl of noodle soup with more spicy seeds, the men sweated all over and the heat rose, and the cold and moisture accumulated in their bodies during night work seemed to be swept away.

Everyone put the bowls away, left the meal money on the table, and went home one by one with wine.

The man also finished the noodles in the bowl, looked around with his eyes dripping, then put down the money and walked towards the county seat.

At this time, the man did not notice that Yu Guang, the owner of the noodle stall, had been looking at him, and saw that the man went in the direction of the county, and the owner of the noodle stall looked at the young man who was warming wine next to him.

After a glance, the young man put down the work in his hand, got up and followed the man.

This is not the first time the man has come to Jiangdu County, so he is still familiar with the roads in the county.

And in a famous place like the Liang family's courtyard, he naturally knows the specific location.

It's just that on the way to the Liang family's compound, he didn't notice that he was not far behind a seventeen or eighteen-year-old young man.

Not long after, the man came to the outside of the Liang family compound, and at this time he found that the Liang family compound in front of him had changed.

The plaque of "Cultivation and Reading Heirloom" that was originally hung has been removed, and a long whiteboard has been fixed to the wall on the side of the gate, with the words "Jiangdu County Surface Security Brigade" written in black Song characters.

Both doors have also been repainted, and on the left side facing the gate there is a simple gatehouse made of wooden planks, where a sentry in a neat military uniform stands guard with a gun.

At this time, three officers in black uniforms walked out of the courtyard, and the sentries saw this and immediately saluted.

Several officers also saluted one after another, and then walked quickly in the direction of the county office.

Not far away, the man just sat on a tea stall, asked for a bowl of tea and a plate of melon seeds, and his two eyes watched the situation in the Liang family's courtyard from time to time.

At this time, the tea boss came over with a large copper pot and asked with a smile: "Brother, do you want to refill some hot water for you?"

The man quickly said, "Oh, yes! Watching

the tea boss fill the bowl with hot water, the man asked: "Brother, ask you something, how has this Liang family compound changed, and a new brand has been erected?" The

tea boss smiled: "I see that you just haven't come to Jiangdu County in time."

"Well, the last time I came was a year ago." The man said.

"No wonder!"

Today's tea stall business is general, just a guest of the man, the tea boss simply sat on the bench on the side, and chatted with the man:

"You know the affairs of the Liang family and the Ren family."

"Oh, I heard that."

"That's okay, it's like this, after the Liang family is gone, the county elder will take over the Liang family compound and the Ren family house."

"The county magistrate is a fastidious person and sympathetic to the people below, he said that none of his subordinates can live in a big mansion, and he, the leader, can't live in a good mansion."

"Therefore, this Liang family compound was assigned to the Marine Police Brigade, with the front yard working, and the family members of the Marine Police Brigade living in the backyard."

"The courtyard of the Ren family was changed by the county elder to the regimental headquarters of the Jiangdu County Independent Regiment, and it is also the front yard office and the back yard is inhabited."

When the man heard this, he suddenly realized: "The feelings are like this, if you don't say it, I still wonder now." The

tea boss smiled and said, "Don't wonder, this is a well-known thing in Jiangdu County, you will know it all after staying for half a day."

"The Marine Police is the gunboat on the river, right?"

"Yes, that's right."

"So, the people on the gunboat, even their families, live in this yard?"

"No, in order to make everyone live more spacious, the county elder also bought several yards around the Liang family's compound, and then directly combined the laneway into a larger yard!"

After the man listened, he felt a dark joy in his heart, and he heard the location of the family members of the crew on the gunboat, and Commander Hong would definitely reward him again.

However, the man did not notice that the tea stall owner was chatting with him, and his eyes looked at the alley not far away from time to time.

Not long after, the little guy on the dock stall appeared at the entrance of the alley, and I saw the little guy gesturing at the tea boss, who nodded slightly, and then continued to chat with the man.

The man also happened to want to inquire about some more things, so he simply continued to chat with the tea boss:

"Brother, I remember that stalls were not allowed near the Liang family's courtyard before, but now that the owner has changed, the rule of not setting up stalls has also changed, right?"

The tea boss laughed and said: "That's natural, the county magistrate Renyi, said that it is not easy for the people to eat together, as long as it does not affect travel, let everyone set up a stall casually." The

man nodded, and just wanted to continue asking something, he suddenly felt someone behind him approaching him.

As soon as he turned his head, he saw a tall body rushing towards him, and with a crackling sound, after knocking down the bench and table, the man was crushed by the comer.

At this time, several big men pounced and directly controlled the man.

"You guys, what are you doing!"

"This is the doorway, I...

Without saying a word, the man was forced into a dirty towel in his mouth.

Immediately afterwards, the strong hemp rope tied the man tightly, and several big men dragged the man away like a chicken.

The man at this time did not notice that one of the big men and the tea boss nodded to each other and exchanged glances.

Watching the big men escort the man away, the young man at the entrance of the alley and the tea boss glanced at each other, and then turned and left.

The tea boss smiled slightly, leaned over and lifted up the fallen bench and table, but cursed and cursed in his mouth:

"What is crazy about this gang of poor dogs in the county, so they took away my guests, but he didn't even give the bad money!"

In a damp, cold and dark underground cell, the man who had just been taken away fell to the ground like a puddle of mud, covered in whip marks and bruises.

Next to him, a big man handed a confession to a man with only nine fingers, and said in his mouth:

"Jiu Ye, the trial has come out, it is Hong Tianwu from Songshan County."

This man is Ren Jiu, originally when he was on an errand under Ren Anfu, he was responsible for contacting bandits and intelligence surveillance.

Later, after Ren Anfu's death, he completely defected to Lin Hongfei with his subordinates and began to hide in the shadows, inquiring for Lin Hongfei and monitoring the news in the city and the dock.

And Lin Hongfei also attaches great importance to these people, and his monthly salary has improved a lot compared to when Ren Anfu was there.

Therefore, these people are naturally grateful to Lin Hongfei and work hard to get things done.

The owner of the dock noodle stall and the tea stall owner at the door of the Marine Police Brigade are one of the eyeliners under Ren Jiubu.
