"Mayor Kang, are you Mayor Kang?" The owner of the steamed bun shop couldn't believe that Kang Hailong would come to his steamed bun shop to eat steamed buns.

After the owner of the steamed bun shop thought about it, he suddenly felt no strange, now that the steamed buns have become a luxury, ordinary people can't even afford flour, who will eat his two oceanic buns, only these have predecessors can eat.

"Let's get ready!" Kang Hailong didn't have time to be polite with the boss, he was now thinking about how to deal with Liao Fan.

Liao Fan sat back on the stool and said to Kang Hailong: "Mayor Kang, I said that I would invite you to dinner, and you see that you broke the bank again, but I have never heard of these two pieces of buns in the ocean!" ”

Of course, Kang Hailong knew that Liao Fan was questioning him, as the mayor, he had the responsibility to maintain Datong's economy, and now the price of grain in Datong was one price a day, and the Kang family was also involved, if he wanted to ask for the crime, he Kang Hailong would not be able to escape the blame.

Liao Fan will pretend to be confused, and of course Kang Hailong will also pretend to be confused: "I haven't heard of such expensive buns, probably because of the boss's craftsmanship." ”

"I just heard the boss say that the price of food in Datong is soaring, am I misheard, or does Mayor Kang not know about it? Old Lu, did the boss say that just now? ”

"Brother Fan, that's exactly what you said!"

Kang Hailong knew that he couldn't escape this time: "Commander Liao, as the mayor of Datong, I have been derelict in my duties, I will definitely investigate the results and give Commander Liao a satisfactory answer!" ”

Liao Fan waved his hand and stopped Kang Hailong's official appearance: "Mayor Kang, if you really want to do it, so many days have passed, and the price of grain has not only not stopped rising, but has increased several times, I don't know if this is related to the interests of the Kang family or Mayor Kang, you don't know." ”

"I ......" Kang Hailong didn't expect to be dumbfounded by Liao Fan's question.

"When I first appointed you as mayor, I had quite high expectations for you, but since you became mayor, what have you done, cronyism or common people? Have you really thought about doing a good thing for the people of Datong? I still just want to collect money for the Kang family! ”

Liao Fan was really angry, he didn't want to talk to Kang Hailong about digging the corner of the new 33rd Army in front of Kang Hailong, because this could only blame Liao Fan for not educating his subordinates.

Kang Hailong gradually lowered his head, and everyone said, "Seventy old man, what do you want?" "He is so old, what else is he asking for, but those unscrupulous descendants of the Kang family, except for Kang Youting, everyone else is a loser, what should he do if he doesn't think about the future of the Kang family.

For the sake of the Kang family, he secretly united with the Japanese army, and the corpses piled up by the national army defending the city in Datong were higher than their Kang family's granary, but who understood his suffering.

However, in Liao Fan's eyes, no matter how legitimate your reason is to betray your country and nation, a traitor is always a traitor, and the legitimate reasons are crooked, some people have a harder life than the Kang family, and they are still willing to die.

Kang Hailong gradually lowered his head, for the first time at such an age, he felt that he had no place to be ashamed, and there was no place to put his face.

The owner of the steamed bun shop put a basket of steamed buns on the table, he was very curious about Liao Fan's identity, and he actually reprimanded Mayor Kang like his grandson, so he looked at Liao Fan twice, but he didn't think that Liao Fan was peculiar, no matter how he looked at it, he looked like a person who couldn't afford to eat steamed buns.

But the owner of the steamed bun shop was also interested and knew that these things were not something he could mix, so he could only obediently retreat again, pretending to be busy, and actually listening to the conversation between Liao Fan and Kang Hailong.

The buns are steaming, but no one eats a bite by hand, and who can get off the two oceans of buns.

There was silence in front of the table, but Kang Hailong did not give up struggling, he was not a person who sat on standby: "The rise in grain prices is the ghost of the surname Lu, I disagreed at first, he had to raise the price of grain!" ”

Kang Hailong seemed to grasp a life-saving straw and put all the responsibility on the head of the surnamed Lu.

Liao Fan looked at Kang Hailong at a loss and looked like a child, and sneered in his heart: "I heard that the price of the Kang family's grain has also risen, and the people were killed on the periphery of the Kang family's grain store, and Mayor Kang also took the money to bribe a division commander in the army!" ”

The owner of the steamed bun shop on the side finally obeyed the relationship between the middle, and it turned out that the person who couldn't afford to eat steamed buns turned out to be Liao Fan, the commander of the New 33rd Army, no wonder he dared to reprimand Kang Hailong here, what he didn't expect was that a military commander would be so young, and the young one was a bit unusual.

"If you take the initiative to admit that this matter has something to do with you, I will still look down on you, but I didn't expect you to shirk this matter at all!"

Liao Fan despised Kang Hailong more and more, the dignified helmsman of the Kang family, who had been in charge of the Kang family for decades, only had this ability to take responsibility, he overestimated Kang Hailong too much.

Kang Hailong was choked by Liao Fan's words, unable to say anything, and his face was flushed.

"Boss, pack these buns and I'll take them back to eat!"

Looking at Kang Hailong's appearance, Liao Fan knew that he probably wouldn't be able to eat in one day today, and Liao Fan couldn't let the two oceans go to waste, although this was Kang Hailong's money. The boss heard Liao Fan calling him, and hurriedly ran over to pack the buns for Liao Fan.

"I will find someone to receive the grain of the Kang family, and the price of grain will be reduced from tomorrow, Mayor Kang has no objection to this matter, right?"

Kang Hailong hurriedly shook his head, where did he dare to have any objections, the matter of Datong was no longer something he could call the shots from now on, as for the grain line, if he still protected it at this time, Kang Hailong would have been in the society for so many years.

"By the way, I have a letter here, from Chongqing, Mayor Kang should take a good look!" Liao Fan took the steamed bun from the owner of the steamed bun shop, and at the same time took out a letter from his pocket and handed it to Kang Hailong.

This letter was written by Kang Youting himself, and when he wrote this letter, Kang Youting led his troops to the battlefield, and now his life and death are uncertain.

Liao Fan kicked the buns bought by the two oceans and left, leaving only Kang Hailong to sit at the table, he didn't know what to do next, Liao Fan just said a few words, the Kang family is no longer the original Kang family.

After sitting for more than half an hour, Kang Hailong trembled and picked up the letter in front of him and looked at it, it was his son's handwritten letter, and he recognized the handwriting on it.

"Dear father, seeing my son as I am, I forgive you for kowtowing to the north......"

This is a very simple family letter, but this simple family letter comes from thousands of miles away, Kang Youting has been waiting for this letter for two whole years, a few words, a handful of old Kang Hailong burst into tears, this is his own son, how many years have I not seen him in the blink of an eye.

There was nothing in the letter about the national righteousness, only the thoughts between relatives and the feelings in the army, but the more Kang Hailong saw it, the more it was more painful than the national righteousness, because his son was working hard for this crumbling country, but in exchange for traitorous relatives like them.

The soldier's death in battle is written in the letter very ordinary, just a few simple lines: "Brothers who fought for their lives, shed blood and sacrificed, it is only their duty!" When he saw these lines, Kang Hailong thought of the first time he met Liao Fan, Liao Fan said that the duty was just for the four words "duty", and thousands of soldiers had to pay for their lives.

These four words were not written in ink, but with the blood of soldiers.

Kang Hailong suddenly had an epiphany, he had never understood so clearly in his life, he understood what is the righteousness of the country and what is the rejuvenation of the nation, this is just a simple slogan, which requires batch after batch of people to work hard for it.

Kang Hailong didn't know how he got home, and after returning to Kang's house, Kang Hailong didn't think about his back road or anything like that, he locked himself in the study.

Liao Fan returned to the headquarters with the bun, and everyone was waiting for the result of Liao Fan, so they had been waiting for Liao Fan in the headquarters for a long time.

He put the bun aside, he just looked at the bun in front of him quietly, didn't speak, and wondered if Kang Hailong would go his own way after seeing the letter, Liao Fan had already read the content of the letter, if Kang Hailong really insisted on going his own way, did he really want to do what Kang Youting said?

"Brother Fan, what's going on?" Sun Boyong couldn't help but ask.

Liao Fan came back to his senses at this time, looked at the anxious people and said: "Li Weimin arranged a company of soldiers to assist Deputy Mayor Song to take over the Kang family's grain store, and the grain was sold at the previous price, if the grain store is not enough, Sun Boyong should have a way!" ”

Now that he has made it clear to Kang Hailong, Liao Fan started one step earlier, and he also stabilized the prices of Datong one step earlier, and the people were at ease earlier.

"Vice Mayor Song?" Everyone didn't react for a while, who this Deputy Mayor Song was.

"Song Zuyi, you will be the deputy division commander of Datong in the future, as for the mayor's seat, let's be empty first!" Liao Fan originally wanted to give the mayor's position to Song Zuyi, but first arranged for him to be a deputy mayor to see how Song Zuyi was doing, and if he did well, let him be the mayor.

"Congratulations, Vice Mayor Song!" Everyone understood and immediately congratulated Song Zuyi.

"Brother Fan, what about the price of grain in the east and south of the city?" Sun Boyong asked.

"Do you have a list?" Liao Fan asked.

"Yes!"

"Transfer a company from Li Weimin's hands to you, control all the people on the list in your hand, don't arrest them for the time being, put them under house arrest, including their aunts and wives, if you prevent one person from running away, you Sun Boyong should be careful!"

Liao Fan told Sun Boyong that these people are all valuable people, and if they let one go, they are a sea of white flowers and flowers.

Of course, Sun Boyong understood what Liao Fan meant, if he watched the money slip away from under his nose in vain, Sun Boyong would probably regret it for the rest of his life.
