Bourne: Command and Conquer

Chapter 1148, Donation

Stop outside the city.

Send someone in to report your identity.

Soon, the county magistrate and the security captain came out to greet him.

"Your Majesty Commissioner."

"Lord County Lord."

"Don't dare, don't dare."

"I am a junior. The honorific title is appropriate."

"Your Majesty Commissioner, please."

"please."

Zhang Yong dismounted and walked.

The county magistrate secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, the commissioner seems to be easy to talk to.

Quite polite.

Harmless to humans and animals.

He looks like a good person at first glance.

until…

"Your Excellency, this time we are out to suppress the bandits. The time is tight and the task is heavy. Therefore, in terms of funding, we still need Tongchuan County's assistance."

"Funding?"

"Yes. Funds for suppressing bandits. You Tongchuan County can raise 100,000 yuan."

"One hundred thousand? Ocean?"

The county magistrate felt his words tremble a little.

Wrong person.

Wrong person.

This Commissioner is not polite at all.

It's like a lion opening its mouth. Just ask for a hundred thousand yuan! joke? How could Tongchuan County get 100,000 yuan?

Not even ten thousand!

A thousand is difficult.

"Did I say less?" Zhang Yong looked sideways at the other party.

"No, no, it's not..." The county magistrate's face looked as dry as a bitter melon that had withered for a hundred days.

"Having trouble?"

"Yes. Yes. Yes."

"Can't you get a hundred thousand oceans?"

"I really can't take it out..."

"Then the old rules are divided! Gather the rich households in the county and ask them to donate voluntarily."

"ah?"

"Ah, what? Don't you think the entire Tongchuan County can raise a hundred thousand yuan?"

"No, this..."

The county magistrate had a bitter look on his face.

This young commissioner is really not a good person!

Open your mouth and ask for a hundred thousand oceans!

The wealthy households in Tongchuan County can certainly afford one hundred thousand yuan. But who will pay easily?

What does suppressing bandits have to do with them? They are all misers.

"Are you new here?"

"no…"

"How long have you been here?"

"More than a year..."

“Haven’t wealthy households gathered together to make donations?”

"No…"

"That means you can't keep up with the times. That's fine. Then I'll teach you. I guarantee that you, the county magistrate, will make a lot of money in the future."

"I, this..."

The county magistrate hesitated to speak. Cold sweat breaks out from behind.

Is this Commissioner here to suppress bandits? Why does it feel like you are here for the wealthy households in Tongchuan County?

Whether the bandits were suppressed or not is unclear. But making money…

"You should immediately send an order to all the wealthy households in the county to arrive before dark... Which is the most famous restaurant in your Tongchuan County?"

"Zui Xian Tower."

"Okay. Let them gather at Zuixian Tower. They say they want to give the commissioner a clean break. Everyone must be there. If anyone is absent, it means he has a guilty conscience and is colluding with the bandits."

"Yes, yes..."

"Go!"

"yes."

The county magistrate agreed and went.

My heart is in a state of ups and downs. I don’t know how the Commissioner will start.

With so many cavalry, fully armed and murderous. It feels like I'm going to kill someone at any moment. I feel more cold sweat on my back.

"Let's go! Go to Zuixian Tower!"

"yes."

Zhang Yong led the team to Zuixian Tower.

Let the boss arrange food and fodder first so that the war horses can have a good meal. All the cavalrymen also had a good meal.

Finally, the bill was paid in legal currency. For business transactions, of course, use legal currency! stipulated by the national government. To publicize and promote the use of legal tender nationwide...

Then…

Quietly waiting for the wealthy people to arrive.

In the evening, wealthy households arrived one after another. Their faces were all red.

Everyone was holding gifts, gift boxes, etc. in their hands.

Although I don’t know exactly where this commissioner comes from. But the people who came were all Shangguan, so they naturally wanted to fawn over them. This is the only way to get rich.

No matter how rich you are, you must have a good relationship with the officials. Otherwise, disaster will come sooner or later.

At night. The wealthy people are almost here.

There were about thirty people.

Zhang Yong appeared.

Waved his hand.

Quiet everyone.

"Let me introduce myself first. My name is Zhang Yong. Inspector of the Military and Political Commission."

"I am passing through Tongchuan County today to suppress bandits. I am so lucky."

"I invite you all here today mainly to discuss how to solve the problem of funding for the suppression of bandits. My request is not much. Two hundred thousand oceans is enough. I also hope that you will be generous and donate actively. I will report your contribution later and give it to the Lord. A generous reward.”

Zhang Yong smiled. Loud voice.

The wealthy households below were silent. Everyone looked at each other.

It's terrible...

Is this to catch the wind and wash away the dust?

This is the Hongmen Banquet, right?

Open your mouth and you’ll get two hundred thousand oceans! I’m really crazy about money!

You, the commissioner, are amazing!

The stubborn man immediately said, "Mr. Commissioner, where are the rules here?"

"I made the rules!" Zhang Yong replied with a smile.

"We have no money."

"Then the house will be ransacked."

"What?"

"You colluded with bandits and attacked passing military and political officials. You committed a heinous crime. You confiscated your home and exterminated your clan. You will be executed immediately."

"You, you, you slander! Slander!"

"Calm down. I have evidence. Even if I don't, I can still fake it."

"What? You?"

The rich people present were shocked.

no?

evidence?

Forgery?

Collusion with bandits?

Confiscating the family and exterminating the clan?

sky! Do you need to play this big?

Zhang Yong waved his hand. He said in an understatement: "I treat you with courtesy first and then attack with force."

An elderly wealthy man said slowly: "Commissioner, can you kill everyone in Tongchuan County?"

"Of course not. Only the richest ones will be killed." Zhang Yong replied with a smile, "The rest will be confiscated. Then you can file a complaint. It doesn't matter where you go. It's best to file a complaint with the Executive Yuan. "

"Your Excellency, Party discipline and state law..."

"What I represent is party discipline and state law!"

"you…"

Everyone was speechless.

I have seen arrogant people, but I have never seen anyone so arrogant.

This is naked robbery.

"We captured some bandits. According to their confessions, some of you have close contacts with them..."

"Mr. Commissioner, that's all slander. It's just bandits trying to bite you."

"Dead men don't speak."

"you…"

silence.

threaten. efficient.

Because the Commissioner came with the army.

In today's situation, it is obviously impossible not to pay.

Having said all this, how could this greedy Commissioner return empty-handed?

but…

"Two hundred thousand is too much."

"Not much. Just enough. Ten thousand oceans per household."

"No. Didn't you just say 200,000? Why did it suddenly become 10,000 per household?"

"Did I make a mistake in my calculation? Which one do you choose?"

"us…"

silence.

Shut up.

I don't want to choose either one.

Collect two hundred thousand. Seven thousand per household. That is also a large amount.

If each household has 10,000 yuan, it will be even more fatal. All the property in the house will be wiped clean.

"Think about it slowly."

Zhang Yong yawned.

Tired.

Go to sleep.

Let others think slowly.

Be kind-hearted. Give them plenty of time.

but…

There is no need to give dinner.

When you think clearly, when will you have food to eat?

Go to sleep.

Really tired. Fall asleep soundly.

But the rich people out there are in trouble. All of them were hungry.

It's obviously inside Zuixian Tower. However, there was no food, no vegetables, and not even water. All I could do was sit. There are big soldiers outside the door.

No rich man is a fool and would attack those big soldiers. To avoid being beaten in vain.

"What is the origin of this person named Zhang?"

"It is said that he is from Jinling."

"Jinling?"

"Huh? There seems to be a phone."

"Yes. There's a phone. Let's call. Make a call."

"quick!"

"quick!"

Soon, wealthy households found a glimmer of hope.

Within the area they were besieged, there was actually a phone. No one seems to be restricting their use of the phone either.

"President Guo, call quickly."

"Okay, okay, okay."

Chairman Guo hurriedly picked up the microphone.

I don't know who to call either. Someone answered quickly.

"Yes, yes, it's Zhang Yong..."

"Yes, you call yourself the Inspector General of the Military and Political Commission..."

Then…

The phone was hung up. President Guo held the microphone.

? ? ?

? ? ?

What's going on?

Why did the phone hang up?

etc!

etc!

I'm not done yet!

"President Guo, what's going on?"

"I don't know! As soon as they heard the name Zhang Yong, they hung up the phone."

"Dead? Why?"

"I don't know. Nothing was said over there."

"Try to continue calling?"

"well."

President Guo picked up the phone and continued to call.

As a result, the phone kept ringing but no one listened. Obviously, the people over there don't want to pick it up.

a long time.

have no choice.

President Guo had no choice but to hang up the phone himself.

"What's the matter?"

"Minister Wang is not answering the phone."

"Which Minister Wang?"

"From the Xi'an Joint Office."

"he…"

Everyone looked at each other.

It seemed like he had guessed something. Not very clear.

"I'll fight."

"good."

Call someone else.

The call was quickly connected.

"Director Liu, I just want to ask, what is the background of Zhang Yong, the inspector of the Military and Political Commission?"

"What? The most famous person in front of the commissioner? He once broke into Zangxia Villa alone to save the commissioner?"

"sky!"

The phone was hung up.

It was the one that hung up first.

Then he held the microphone in a daze.

"What are you talking about?"

"Give me money."

"What?"

"Give me money. Two hundred thousand. Let's all share it. If you can't come up with it, others will help make up the money."

"No. Why..."

"If you don't give it, I guess no one will have the chance to leave this house in the future."

"He, isn't..."

"You will really have your home confiscated and your family exterminated."

"he…"

silence.

Then sigh.

Okay, this is going to be a big deal.

This Commissioner, he turns out to be so popular!

Finished...

Why did such a famous person come to Tongchuan County?

Go and harm others!

A small place like ours can't stand such trouble from you!

real…

Go somewhere else!

For example, Huangling, Luochuan, Ganquan...

So it was settled. Then talk. I hope the Commissioner will come to see them again.

result…

The Commissioner didn't come. But the meal came.

The hungry wealthy people looked at the table full of delicious and delicious food, but they had no appetite.

I can't help it, it was scratched so hard! Remove thousands of oceans at once!

Even if there is dragon meat, it is tasteless at this time.

In the end, I barely ate a little. The Commissioner finally appeared.

Still elegant and elegant.

Still harmless to humans and animals.

"You are indeed sensible." Zhang Yong said with a smile, "I would like to thank you first."

"Thank you, Commissioner, for your teachings." President Guo tried his best to smile.

"Okay. Let's discuss the second thing below."

“…”

All the wealthy households suddenly twitched in their hearts.

The second one?

no? Why else?

If it's not enough to pay for it once, you have to pay for it a second time?

Mr. Commissioner…

Please let go...

Can you go somewhere else and pick up other people’s...

"This is free of charge."

"oh…"

The wealthy households felt a little relieved.

But I don’t dare to be completely reassured.

What if the Commissioner suddenly asks for money again mid-sentence?

There is lingering fear in my heart.

On tenterhooks.

Secretly resentful.

You, a popular person in front of the committee, came to a small place like ours and extorted money from us. It is really unkind...

If you want to cause trouble, you should go to big places like Shanghai and Jinling!

"The second thing is that I heard that someone once came to you and contacted you secretly, asking you to form a loyalty and salvation army or something?"

"What army?"

"Loyalty and National Salvation Army."

"No!"

"have."

"No…"

"have."

"this…"

The wealthy people feel something is wrong again.

What does the Commissioner want to do?

It's obviously not true, so why insist on it?

"There are also Japanese spies involved."

"Spy?"

"There are Japanese spies working together secretly, trying to secretly form an army in the suburbs of Xi'an and other places, initiate internal strife, and try to force the parties involved to kill the commissioner..."

"What?"

The hearts of the wealthy households trembled again.

What's coming?

Kill the commission?

faint!

How serious a crime is this?

no…

Commissioner, can you please stop being so irritating?

Our Tongchuan is really a small place. None of us have seen much of the world. Don't come up with such exciting news.

"You've all heard it."

"What did you hear?"

"On the shore of Jinling, someone colluded with Japanese spies and used them in the suburbs of Xi'an to try to gather bandits, form a rebel army, launch riots, and force the parties involved to be unfavorable to the commission. Then someone took his place in Jinling..."

"Mr. Commissioner..."

Chairman Guo said they didn’t understand. Too inscrutable.

What Jinling. What a spy. What collusion. What a conspiracy to kill the commission. It feels like they are really far away...

"It's okay. You can just sign whatever you want."

"sign?"

"right."

Zhang Yong took out the materials he had prepared long ago.

One per person.

The above content is just what I heard.

It's all heard. General. There is no specific name at all.

After the rich people read it, they felt it was nothing. So signed. Then hand them all back to Zhang Yong.

Zhang Yong put it away.

This is first-hand information.

If you move it out when the time comes, it will be of great use.

In fact, colluding with Japanese spies is not a serious crime. At least. For now, Chiang Kai-shek doesn't care too much.

Especially for a certain big shot, this crime is very difficult to beat to death.

However, if they are communicating with Japanese spies, deliberately creating chaos, and trying to kill him, Chiang Kai-shek, then he cannot be calm.

The needle can't reach the flesh and it doesn't hurt.

Lao Jiang hated the past ten days with all his heart.

Unfortunately. There were people outside trying to kill him. How could he possibly endure it?

However, there are some things that he cannot reveal publicly.

So, "Dirty Work" was launched.

Collect information. Obscene development. Then a fatal blow.

"Now, the third thing."

"besides?"

"Don't worry. I'm not asking for money."

"oh…"

"The third thing is that I hope you will closely cooperate with the county magistrate and the security captain to strengthen local security. I don't want to come again because of the bandit suppression. I guess you don't like it either. Because if I come once, you will have to bear the burden of bandit suppression. Funding. Next time it may be 300,000 yuan.”

“…”

The wealthy people were speechless and choked.

I really want to say, Mr. Commissioner, get out of here!

Roll as far as you can!

We never want to see you again!

Two hundred thousand for one visit, we can’t stand it!

What?

Three hundred thousand for next time?

Dying!

Don't come, don't come...

We cooperate with the county magistrate and the security team to expand the number of personnel and purchase weapons...

We'll take care of the bandits ourselves. No more trouble for you.

real. real. You old man, please don't come...

"Okay. I believe you all understand. Now, you can go. Go to the county magistrate and the security team to discuss. If you have money, pay. If you have the ability, contribute. Let's work together to stabilize local security."

Zhang Yong said with a smile.

County Grandpa:? ? ?

Security team:? ? ?

Huh?

It seems that there is overwhelming wealth...

If you have money, pay...

the next day. Dayang is all gathered together. So pack it up. Take them all away.

The county magistrate and the security captain sent him out of the city diligently.

Both of them were in a great mood.

Because a considerable amount of funds have been donated to expand the security team. This money is naturally at the disposal of the county magistrate.

"Your Excellency, see you later."

"Mr. Commissioner, see you later."

Say goodbye.

Hit the road.

There is a new bandit lair over there, the Japanese spy Zhao Si.

Gotta hurry up.

behind.

The county magistrate was full of emotion and said slowly: "This Commissioner is really a good person!"

"Yes!" The security captain smiled happily, "What a good person!"
