"You mean that the bandits on the North Mountain are colluding with the Japanese?" Ge Kunshan, who was reviewing the official documents, was stunned by what Liu Goat said, when Liu Goat broke into his office with the smell of gunsmoke, Ge Kunshan was still speculating whether the anti-bandit operation was going well, but in a blink of an eye, Liu Goat told him that there were Japanese soldiers on Beishan, and Ge Kunshan's heart could be described as mixed.

"It's not the Japanese, it's the Japanese soldiers who can fight with guns." Liu Goat corrected the language problem in Ge Kunshan's words, "I'm afraid that the county magistrate won't believe it, I still caught three live mouths, and now they are detained in the county government compound, if you don't believe it, I will take you to take a look." Liu Goat's words were very plain, it is not difficult to see from Ge Kunshan's reaction just now that this county magistrate is not a responsible person, Liu Goat now just wants to explain the entire process of suppressing bandits to Ge Kunshan clearly, and let Ge Kunshan figure out the rest of the things himself.

Ge Kunshan followed Liu Goat to the window suspiciously, and looked down from the second floor, where three men dressed in black were kneeling in the middle of the county government compound with guns pointed at by the regiments. "These are the three Japanese soldiers you are talking about? I don't look any different from ordinary people. Ge Kunshan didn't see the khaki military uniform and the soft military hat of the Japanese army that looked like a fart curtain, so he thought that Liu Goat was just joking, saying that catching the Japanese soldiers was actually just to excuse the casualties of the militia.

"County Magistrate Ge, don't believe it, these three people in the courtyard are really Japanese soldiers, and my old Liu never jokes about this kind of thing." Seeing Ge Kunshan's suspicious question, Liu Goat didn't bother to explain, so he immediately asked the regimental soldiers in the courtyard to hand over the three Japanese prisoners to the police under Ge Kunshan's guard, and he returned to the barracks with the regimental soldiers who had returned in a miserable victory. Seeing this scene, Ge Kunshan did not dare to be careless, and immediately interrogated the three Japanese soldiers sent by Liu Goat, and after several confrontations, Ge Kunshan was overjoyed, and he finally believed that there were Japanese soldiers on Beishan.

For the defense of Mengcheng, the appearance of Japanese soldiers on Beishan is a very serious matter, but for Ge Kunshan, who is eager for greater power, this is an opportunity to rise to the top, as long as he makes good use of this opportunity, the day of his promotion and fortune is just around the corner. "Come on, prepare the car immediately, I'm going to the provincial capital." The only truck in the Mengcheng county government was started, and Ge Kunshan took the three Japanese soldiers to the provincial capital in a truck without any hard work, and he couldn't even take care of the official duties that had been backlogged for many days.

"What shall we do? What about these things? The surname Ge must have gone to ask for merit. Tang Cheng in the carriage looked at the truck speeding past him, and turned his head to look at Liu Goat lying beside him. The truck did not have a tarpaulin covering the carriage, Tang Cheng could clearly see the policeman sitting in the carriage and the three Japanese soldiers who were tied up, and the direction of the truck was the city gate, Tang Cheng could easily guess that Ge Kunshan was in a hurry to invite merit.

"What else can I do, if you are injured, go back to recuperate, and if you don't have an injury, you can train normally." Liu Goat, who was lying down, looked leisurely, Ge Kunshan had already dealt with it, and the next thing was the home of those who died in battle. Looking back at the two carriages full of sacks behind him, Liu Goat couldn't help but smile bitterly, after giving the pensions to those Tuanding's families, I don't know how much was left in these sacks.

The Japanese soldiers who were captured alive by them told a lie, only 15 of them came, 8 of them were hidden in the caves, and the remaining 7 all died in the fierce battle, and all the money that should have been transferred was buried in the rubble. They set fire to the bandits' lair just to cover up their traces of their appearance in Beishan, and they didn't expect that there would be Liu Goat and Tang Cheng in the Mengcheng militia. Tang Cheng, who was in charge of cleaning up the ruins, found a lot of boxes from the tunnels of the bandits' lair, which contained money and tobacco soil, and these things naturally became Liu Goat's trophies.

"Lao Xu, according to our list, send someone to gather the families of these people, and divide half of these things to give them a pension." Liu Goat only knew a rough idea of what was in those sacks, but it was already very good that he could distribute half of the amount to the families of those who died in battle. Liu Goat wanted to explain some more things to Lao Xu, but Tian Kui, who came to the barracks with him, dragged him away, and the wounds on Liu Goat's body needed to be cleaned again.

Tang Cheng, who was just bruised, didn't have such good luck to rest early, he still had to watch the regiments put the things on the carriage into storage, and all the weapons and ammunition brought back had to be sorted and listed, once Ge Kunshan changed his mind, Liu Goat would give these things to Ge Kunshan clearly. Crying has sounded in the barracks one after another, Tang Cheng knew that it was the family members who were called by Lao Xu to collect the corpse, Tang Cheng, who sighed, grabbed a cigarette and put it in his mouth, war is cruel, and many people are destined to die, and now Tang Cheng really understands what Xie Bo said about cruelty.

Without going out to visit, Tang Cheng locked himself in his room for a whole night, and it was not until the next day that the light brightened, and Tang Cheng, who had two dark circles under his eyes, swayed out of his room. "Let's go, follow me to Li Linge's house." Liu Goat, who had already packed up, waited for Tang Cheng to clean himself up, and then took Tang Cheng, who was unknown, to Li Linge's house. Liu Goat seized not only a large amount of money from the bandits in Beishan, but also several large boxes of tobacco and more than 40 horses, which were placed by Liu Goat in the homes of farmers outside the city, and only after he and Li Linge negotiated the conditions before these horses entered the city.

The militia suppression of bandits is a major matter, and Li Linge, as the president of the Chamber of Commerce, could not know about the way, but he did not expect that the militia would come back the day after they left, and of course he did not expect that there would be Japanese soldiers on the north mountain, and the militia would suffer such heavy casualties. "Chief Liu is a rare guest, what is the so-called thing to come to the door today?" After a few words of greetings, Liu Goat and Tang Cheng were invited into the living room by Li Linge to sit down, Li Linge, who didn't know Liu Goat's intentions, couldn't help but secretly think in his heart, but Liu Goat's expression was the same as usual, and Li Linge didn't see any suspicion at all.

"Come and make a deal with you, President Li" took a sip of the tea bowl on the table, and Liu Goat, who praised the fragrance of tea, signaled with his eyes that Li Linge had something good to discuss. "The matter of the militia going to Beishan to suppress bandits, your chairman Li should be worth it, this time the Mengcheng militia has suffered heavy casualties in order to exterminate the bandits on Beishan, but the militia has also gained a lot this time, not only exterminated the bandits, but also killed and wounded 15 Japanese soldiers, and the county magistrate Ge was afraid that he had already taken the three living Japanese soldiers to the provincial capital yesterday."

How could Ge Kunshan hide the fact that he went to the provincial capital yesterday from Li Linge, but there was a matter of Japanese soldiers on the north mountain, and he really didn't know what to do, and when he heard Liu Goat say that the militia had captured three Japanese soldiers alive with all beards and tails, Li Linge got up from his chair and stood up. "Chief Liu, let's not joke, the militia really exchanged fire with the Japanese soldiers this time? You also captured three Japanese soldiers alive? Li Linge's shock was no less than that of Ge Kunshan yesterday, but unlike Ge Kunshan's invitation for merit and appreciation, Li Linge was worried about the intention of the Japanese soldiers to appear in Beishan.

"Then there can be a fake, I'm afraid that County Magistrate Ge and those three Japanese soldiers have arrived in the provincial capital now." Liu Goat was drinking tea leisurely, but he had been paying attention to Li Linge's expression with the corner of his eye. Liu Goat knew that Li Linge and Ge Kunshan were not as close as they appeared to be, these two people were unwilling to claim to be the masters of others, what Liu Goat had to do now was to sell those tobacco and horses to Li Linge smoothly, as for other things, he was unwilling to go to the troubled water.

Completely forgetting that Liu Goat and Tang Cheng's Li Linge were unconsciously pacing back and forth in the living room, before Ge Kunshan came to Mengcheng, his relationship with Ge Kunshan was very good, and it could be compared to brothers of the opposite sex. But since Ge Kunshan served as the magistrate of Mengcheng County, the Li family's voice in Mengcheng has become smaller and smaller, and all the grass in those chambers of commerce have gone to Ge Kunshan's side, and Li Linge, who doesn't want the Li family to lose power, has been looking for a way to suppress Ge Kunshan, and winning over Liu Goat is just one of the means.

Cutting off the supply of the absolute militia was Li Linge's first move to deal with Ge Kunshan, but he didn't expect to force Liu Goat to go to Beishan to suppress the bandits. What didn't make him even more unexpected now was that Liu Goat and the militia not only exterminated the bandits on the North Mountain, but also exchanged fire with the Japanese soldiers. It is true that the militia suffered a lot of casualties, but the militia captured three Japanese soldiers alive and came back, and the militia won the battle, all this credit will only go to the head of the county magistrate Ge Kunshan, and now it is the period of the National War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, Ge Kunshan escorted three Japanese soldiers to the provincial capital, this is not an invitation to merit.

The distraught Li Linge did not have the calmness and composure of the past, and under the provocation of Liu Goat's words, the tobacco and horses seized by the militia were taken away by Li Linge, and the price made Liu Goat very satisfied. "President Li, don't worry, since I promised you to stay in Mengcheng temporarily, I will definitely keep Mengcheng safe, the 88th Division will not recruit me back for a day, and my old Liu will keep Mengcheng safe for a day." When he said goodbye and left, Liu Goat pretended to be arrogant and talked to Li Linge without shame, which made Li Linge's heart feel more steady.

"Don't think that this money is easy to take, this is Li Linge buying us." Liu Goat in the carriage knocked on the box containing gold bars with his hand, and his words were full of disdain for Li Linge and Ge Kunshan. "Li Linge brought Ge Kunshan to Mengcheng with the intention of supporting their Li family, but he didn't want Ge Kunshan to be an unconscious master, now Li Linge can't suppress Ge Kunshan, so he wants to win us over, once the Li family and Ge Kunshan have a conflict, Li Linge will point to us to support him, these gold bars are Li Linge's wages to us."
