War of Resistance: Glory of the Beasts

Chapter 20 If you don't believe me, just ask me (Thanks to 'Sixteen Alliance' for the 1500 reward!)
When the baojia system was implemented in the Republic of China, it actually seemed to be a pretty good system. One bao was made up of ten jias, the organization of a jia was based on the principle of ten households, and the division of a township was based on the principle of ten baos.

The security office is set up with a chief and deputy chief, and under them are one civil affairs officer, one economic officer, one security officer, and one cultural officer.

In fact, the most orthodox name for the Guandibao should be "Jiachang". Liu Dapiezi from Nangang is called the head of the police station, but ordinary people don't care about the policies, so they get used to it and just call him Guandibao.

The problem is that when it was time to deliver the money to the Nangang Office, this Guan Dibao disappeared!
Liu Dapiezi asked the local security guards in the surrounding villages and found out that the Xu family shack had been attacked by bandits, and that the guards of the Yu family and the security team of the Xu family shack had fought with the bandits on the spot.

This made Liu Dapiezi even more curious. He didn't expect that Guandi Baozhen had organized a security team and even maintained the public security in the area...

Then he has to come and see!

Liu Dapiezi is a man of the underworld, who came from a family that ran a wood gang business. In those days, the wood gang, the water transport gang, and the salt gang all made huge profits, and were mostly controlled by underworld tyrants. But in order to make it easier to do business, these underworld tyrants would buy the position of a security chief from the government. Isn't there a saying that goes, "The powerful don't provoke the powerful", so who would be willing to be a bandit all day long and never enter the government?

So, after Liu Dapiezi took over the wood gang business and gathered a few hills to start reselling wood, he saved some money and the first thing he did was to go to Bingcheng and spend a large sum of money to buy the position of Nangang Chief.

As a result, less than a year after the money was spent, Heilongjiang Province became a mess. There was the Battle of Jiangqiao, the Japanese occupation of the Northeast, donations, taxes, and all kinds of miscellaneous matters that kept Liu Dapiezi busy.

The question is, is it okay for him not to be busy?

In the past, all the local scoundrels who would lick the soles of his shoes and beg for help were taken away by the devils. They either became local security guards or joined the detective team. If he doesn't have some power in his hands, how can he survive in the underworld in the future?
So, even if Liu Dapiezi didn't want to be a traitor, he had to become one. He felt that once you are in the world, you have no choice.

Early in the morning, on the country road from Nangang to Xu's shack, Liu Dapiezi, dressed in black, was riding a donkey and looking around as he swayed.

As soon as I entered the village, I saw that the first family's house had been burned to a charcoal black, and half of the fence wall had turned black...

"Oh my god..."

Liu Dapiezi jumped off the donkey, stood beside the door frame and looked at the rope swaying in the wind. He could imagine what the corpse looked like when it was hanging there.

At this moment, a voice came from a nearby millstone: "Is that Captain Liu?"

"Captain Liu, you are here!"

A woman leading a boy walked a few steps to Liu Dapiezi. He smiled when he turned his head and saw the face.

There were two tear marks on this little face that was covered with rouge and powder. The whole face looked like it had rolled around in a rouge bucket, as if it was painted by a ghost. But she was still wearing a flowery rural jacket, and it was obvious that she was a poor person who suddenly became rich and didn't know how to dress herself.

Liu Dapiezi asked, "Who are you?"

"I'm from Guan Laoer's family."

"Sister-in-law~" Liu Dapiezi responded thoughtfully.

Then he pointed to the courtyard and said, "What on earth is going on?"

The woman finally opened up: "I don't know... wuuuu... I went back to my mother's home at that time, and when I returned to the village, I saw that my house had been burned down." She even started crying.

"I later found out that the villagers heard the gunshots and came to watch the excitement. My husband was hanging on the door frame at the time. It is said...it is said...his head was shattered."

Liu Dapiezi asked again: "So what are you two doing now..."

"Chief Bao, no one is in charge of us!"

"No one cared about my husband's body at first. Later, Xu Chaoyang couldn't stand it anymore, so he pulled out a straw mat from his own warehouse and took the body to a temple outside the village."

"Oh, by the way, this Xu Chaoyang is a member of my husband's insurance team. He hid back after being defeated by the Japanese on the Jiangqiao battlefield. My husband saw that he could use a gun and had fought in a war, so he pulled him into the insurance team." Liu Dapiezi suddenly frowned when he heard this, but said nothing.

"Where is Xu Chaoyang?"

The woman patted her son on the shoulder and said, "Goudan, go and ask your uncle Xu to go and tell him that the chief wants to question him."

The child turned around and walked towards Old Xu's house. Liu Da Piezi looked at the woman again and couldn't help but sighed, "How are you, an orphan and a widow, going to live in the future?"

He never thought about how many orphans and widows there were among the soldiers who died on the river bridge!
"Chief Bao!"

Xu Chaoyang ran away from home. When he came out, he was running and jumping, moving forward while lifting one leg to pick up his shoes. Even so, he was holding a notebook in his hand and shaking it constantly.

Liu Dapiezi looked at the young man from the village who appeared in front of him in such a hurry. He turned around and faced him without moving. He waited until Xu Chaoyang came closer before asking, "Are you Xu Chaoyang from the insurance team?"

Xu Chaoyang was also very smart and responded immediately: "Yeah."

Liu Dapiezi asked again: "What are you holding in your hand?"

"I don't know." Xu Chaoyang raised his hand and handed over the notebook. The three traditional Chinese characters "Flower Roster" on it were extremely clear.

The big guy looked up at him and said, "Tell me what happened?"

Xu Chaoyang opened his mouth and said, "That night when it was already dark, I heard gunshots outside, so I rushed to the place where the gunshots were heard from my family..."

"You mean to say that you heard the gunshot outside and rushed over immediately?"

Xu Chaoyang seemed to have discovered his mistake, and immediately smiled embarrassedly: "I was stunned for a while..." But he immediately continued: "These days, as long as the gunshots are not at your doorstep, you have to think about it."

Liu Dapiezi nodded: "Go on?" He flipped open the roster and saw Xu Chaoyang's name on it, so he stopped reading.

"We rushed towards the place where the gunshots were heard, and just then we saw a bandit trying to climb out through the window. We fired machine guns at him, but we didn't hit anyone. The bandit was so scared that he dropped a bunch of stuff..."

"What did you drop?"

"Just... a few Type 79 rifles and the notebook in your hand."

Liu Dapiezi frowned again: "But I heard that after that, the bandits went to Lao Yu's house again two days later. Did you fight with the bandits at that time?"

Only then did Xu Chaoyang realize that he seemed to have fallen into a pit!

If I rushed out as soon as I heard the gunshot, I would appear too brave. Who would risk their life for others these days? This sounded fake!

But if he doesn't appear brave enough here, then there will be something wrong with his bravery in the Yu family compound!
Xu Chaoyang immediately straightened his chest, stretched his neck and said, "How can it be the same?"

"Why is it different?"

"Chief, everyone in the village knows that the Yu family is my father-in-law's family. If you don't believe me, just ask!"

Xu Chaoyang was sweating on his forehead. If it weren't for this relationship, he really couldn't explain it.

　Thanks to 'Sixteen Alliance' for the reward of 1500. I don’t know how to repay the kindness of the previous book. Now I, the Sixteen Alliance, am here again. I am very grateful. Thank you a thousand times!
　　But don't spend so much money this time. You will always have a place in my heart!
