Chapter 228: Goodbye Chen Cheng

"Brother, don't treat me like a three-year-old. E.” Chen Lifu didn't care about Chen Guofu's warning, "We will start interrogating Wang Tianmu tonight, and we will first get the handle of Dai Li, so as not to have many dreams at night." ”

Chen Lifu has already dreamed of replacing Lao Jiang.

Chen Guofu agreed with his younger brother's opinion at this time, as long as he held Dai Li's handle in his hand, it would be no problem to move to Dai Li: "This matter will be handed over to you to be responsible, and use all means to let Wang Tianmu tell everything he knows." ”

As soon as Chen Guofu and Chen Lifu had dinner, their subordinates came with bad news that Wang Tianmu had died, he died of food poisoning, and the person who delivered food to Wang Tianmu also committed suicide.

"It must have been done by Dai Li!" After Chen Lifu, who was at home, got the news, he lifted a table of food, and his wife and children were so frightened that they hid aside and didn't dare to make a sound.

There was nothing to eat, Chen Lifu simply put on his clothes and went out, Wang Tianmu died in their hands, this is not a simple matter, and if he doesn't get it right, he will be framed. Moreover, the people of the Central Command also understand very well that Wang Tianmu's death has a great relationship with the military commanders, and the top priority is not to hold anyone accountable or find out who did it, but the most important thing is to deal with the follow-up issues of this matter, and not to be framed by others.

Just when the Central Command and the Military Commander began to make trouble, Liao Fan had a big incident here.

"Brother Fan, something is wrong!" Brother Wang came in over the wall, and when he walked into the room, he saw Liao Fan sleeping on the table. Brother Wang couldn't care about Liao Fan not resting well for so many days, and directly pushed Liao Fan awake.

Liao Fan rubbed his aching eyelids, looked at Brother Wang and said, "Brother Wang, why are you back?" Xiao Zhou! ”

"Brother Fan, Xiao Zhou has been arrested!"

Brother Wang hurriedly roared and told Liao Fan in detail about what he saw when he was connecting with Xiao Zhou.

When Liao Fan heard that Xiao Zhou had been arrested, he instantly lost his sleepiness, but after hearing that Brother Wang finished telling the matter, Liao Fan began to frown: "Are you sure that it was the person from the 177th Division who took Xiao Zhou away?" ”

"I could see it clearly, they passed in front of me, and I deliberately bumped into the oncoming soldier, and I could see the number on his clothes while he was helping me!" Brother Wang's face was anxious, he was now very worried about Xiao Zhou's comfort, once Xiao Zhou's identity was exposed, the consequences would be unimaginable.

But Liao Fan has been thinking about the 177th Division, which belongs to the 11th Army and is Chen Cheng's old army. Now that the Japanese army has the momentum of moving southward, it is said that the 11th Army should be deployed to Xue Yue's flank at any time to support Xue Yue's attack on Wuhan, and should not appear in Chongqing.

Brother Wang looked at Liao Fan and didn't speak, he couldn't bear it anymore and said to Liao Fan: "Brother Fan, you should think of a way, if Xiao Zhou is taken to the barracks and then sent to the front line, it will be difficult for us to rescue him again." ”

"Brother Wang's news of the squire's room has been handed over to you, I'll go ask Chen Cheng for someone!"

Now that things are at a critical juncture, it is impossible for Liao Fan to let Brother Wang and them stop, once the people of the military command and the central command can ease up, and then make trouble for Liao Fan, it will be difficult to rescue Liao Jundong.

"Brother Fan, could it be that the 177th Division is General Chen's troops?" Brother Wang guessed when he heard that Liao Fan and Chen Cheng were asking for someone.

Liao Fan nodded, he had seen Chen Cheng when he came to Chongqing, and judging from Chen Cheng's attitude, Chen Cheng didn't want to see Liao Fan at all. Now that Xiao Zhou was taken away by Chen Cheng's subordinates, Liao Fan suspected that this matter might have been deliberately arranged by Chen Cheng, as for Chen Cheng's purpose, he could only know after meeting Chen Cheng.

"I'll leave the matter to you, you can do it boldly, now the attention of the military commander and the central commander is not on us, so don't pay too much attention to them now, once you get reliable information, we will do it when we come back!" Liao Fan told Brother Wang.

This time, Liao Fan made a big fuss in Chongqing, which alarmed Chairman Chiang, and although the result of the matter was still suppressed, it was enough to arouse the attention of all quarters, and now the military command and the central command have a tendency to become more and more troublesome, and if Chen Cheng wants to share Chairman Chiang's worries and ease the matter, it is possible that Liao Fan will be detained, then all the work done by Liao Fan will be wasted.

Liao Fan and Brother Wang climbed over the wall and walked out of the courtyard one after another, although the people of the military command and the central command are now making trouble, but they have not forgotten to arrange eyeliner near Liao Fan's residence, in case the blind cat meets the dead mouse, it really catches Liao Fan.

After a simple disguise, Liao Fan walked onto the street. Chen Cheng's residence Liao Fan has already been there, except that the road is a little far, there is no major problem at all.

In broad daylight, Liao Fan didn't want to sneak into Chen Cheng's mansion, if he was still sure at night, he would be able to sneak in unnoticed, but it was still in broad daylight.

Liao Fan walked to the door openly, wanting to report to Chen Cheng through the guards that he was going to see Chen Cheng, but when he walked to the door, Liao Fan saw an acquaintance.

"You're finally here, I thought you weren't coming back!" The person standing at the door and talking was Chen Cheng's personal guard Huai Yuanliang, who was not curious when he saw Liao Fan coming here, but took the initiative to greet Liao Fan.

After Liao Fan heard Huai Yuanliang's words, he became more convinced of his guess that Chen Cheng sent someone to deliberately arrest Xiao Zhou.

Even Liao Fan knew in his heart that he still had to pretend to be confused when dealing with these people: "You seem to know that I'm coming?" ”

"It's not that I know you're coming, it's that the general knows you're coming!" Huai Yuanliang smiled and said to Liao Fan, "Please come inside, the general is waiting for you." ”

Liao Fan came to the hall he was familiar with again, and he didn't have the leisure to admire the luxurious decoration in the hall anymore. After the guards searched him, Liao Fan walked straight to Chen Cheng and sat down, looking at Chen Cheng who was on the phone.

After Chen Cheng saw Liao Fan coming, he simply explained a few words and hung up the phone.

"This time it's much better than last time, a bit of a soldier's temper, the last time I came here, I was still squirming like a big girl, and now I don't say hello, I sit down with a butt!" Chen Cheng looked at Liao Fan with an unhappy look on his face, and said with a slight smile.

"This time, General Chen is like a big girl, she doesn't look like a general when she does things, and she specializes in making small moves behind her back, which is not what a big general should do!" Liao Fan looked unkind.

"Master Liao, speak with respect!" Huai Yuanliang on the side scolded.

"The two of us are talking, and you can also let a little major interject!" Liao Fan was already in a bad mood, and he came to find fault today.

"You ......" Huai Yuanliang faced Liao Fan's-for-tat, and he was speechless for a while, and his face blushed angrily.

Instead, Chen Cheng waved his hand to signal Huai Yuanliang not to speak, and said to Liao Fan with a smile on his face: "It seems that Master Liao has grown his temper during the time he has been in Chongqing, why did he come by taking gunpowder today?" ”

"I haven't eaten yet!" Liao Fan has already put on a dead pig that is not afraid of boiling water, anyway, as long as he is in Chongqing, he can't fight Chen Cheng at all, it is better to be happy now, at least it looks tougher.

"That's right, I didn't eat either, let's go to the restaurant and talk while eating!" Chen Cheng stood up, tidied up some clothes, and then took the lead and left the living room.

Compared with the luxurious living room, the dining room is very simple, and the meals have already been laid out on the table, with only four simple dishes, two vegetarian dishes and two meat dishes. After Liao Fan sat down, he couldn't believe that Chen Cheng's meal was so simple. Chen Cheng is in charge of more than 100,000 soldiers and horses, and he is a close confidant of Chairman Jiang, so he usually only eats this.

"Why don't these meals meet Master Liao's appetite?" Chen Cheng looked at Liao Fan and asked if he refused to eat.

Liao Fan shook his head with a wry smile and said, "I didn't expect that a general would eat so easily!" ”

Hearing Liao Fan's words, Chen Cheng asked Liao Fan curiously: "Then what should I eat when Master Liao sees me?" ”

"Not to mention the Manchu and Han full banquets, at least eight cold dishes and eight hot dishes!" Liao Fan said.

"Hahaha" Hearing Liao Fan's words, Chen Cheng smiled happily.

"Master Liao, these two meat dishes are specially cooked for you by General Chen knowing that you are coming, and the general usually eats only one vegetarian dish, and only adds a meat dish at a specific time!" Huai Yuanliang, who was standing on the side, explained.

"It seems that my prejudice against Chongqing officials has deepened a little!" Liao Fan lamented that his only impression of Chongqing's big and small officials was that they were greedy for power and money, and they did not hesitate to fight among themselves for these reasons.

"There's no way, now that the whole country is in short supply, and the people are starving to death, how can I, a general, hide and eat delicious food alone, if that's the case, I'm completely drinking the blood of the people." Chen Cheng said.

"Tight in front, tight in the rear, this sentence is the most suitable for General Chen!" Liao Fan really admires Chen Cheng from the bottom of his heart now.

"This sentence is not a good word, the tight front is obviously talking about the incompetence of our generals, and then it led to the situation of tight eating in the rear." Chen Cheng said expressionlessly.

Liao Fan smiled lightly: "If General Chen has to understand me like this, I have nothing to say!" Of course, Liao Fan knew that Chen Cheng understood what he meant.

"Tell me, what are you looking for me?" Chen Cheng asked.

"Didn't General Chen call me here?" Liao Fan asked rhetorically.

Chen Cheng put down the dishes and chopsticks in his hand and looked at Liao Fan: "Since it's okay, I'll let Lao Huai send you away after a full meal!" ”

"Gotcha! It seems that as soon as I make a move, I will lose first! Liao Fan simply didn't go around in circles, "The people of the 177th Division arrested Zhuang Ding and captured my people, and I came to ask General Chen for someone." ”

"Catch the strong man? My soldiers never catch strong men, only suspicious elements, I'm afraid that Commander Liao's subordinates will be taken away as suspicious elements, right? Of course, Chen Cheng knew that the troops were arresting strong men everywhere now, and this was also something that could not be helped, but he couldn't admit it.

"Whether it's a strong man or a suspicious person, I just want to bring my people back!" Liao Fan also put down the dishes and chopsticks in his hand and stared at Chen Cheng.
