A film series in the Republic of China: The legendary Taoist priest in Shanghai

Chapter 134: Demon Suppression Director

Wencai deliberately expressed his opposition to being an official, and Liang Runsheng immediately echoed him: "Lai Xiujin, what do you know as a woman? You just need to wash yourself and serve the boss at night, and you dare to give advice to the boss."

Liang Runsheng was born in the year of the dog and is the best at barking.

Lai Xiujing ignored him completely. As long as the boss didn't scold her, she could continue speaking.

"If your career is smooth, you can make money. If your business is big, you can join the government. Now the country is in turmoil, and Shanghai is also in turmoil. When the country is pacified, the first thing the government will rectify is the gangs."

Lai Xiu Jin said.

Wencai also began to express his opinion: "A stable country does not need gangs, but it cannot do without the black industry. If the devils leave, the gangs will not survive. However, being an official is not good, and being a gangster is not good either. Normally, the black and white will become gray."

"Boss, you are better than me. I only thought of black and white, not gray. What is gray?"

Wencai did not answer this question, but said: "Xiu Jin, I plan to open a gambling company, and you can be the person in charge."

It would be much better if we replaced the mafia casinos with gambling companies!

Wencai stayed at night, but did not enter Wang Jiazhi's room.

He entered Lai Xiujing's room, intending to discuss the world situation with her.

"Boss, you can't do this."

……

Jinling, Military General Staff Headquarters.

Boss Dai, Zheng Yaoxian, Director Kang and other big shots gathered together.

"Lao Kang, I'm sorry for wronging you!"

Boss Dai said to Director Kang.

"How dare I? This is a necessary process. I believe that if any of the brothers here were arrested, they would also be isolated and investigated."

Director Kang said generously.

"Yes, yes. It is better to kill a thousand people by mistake than to..."

A big shot just said half a sentence.

Boss Dai glared and said, "Nonsense! Our national government is just like the traitor Wang. I will never wrong a brother, and I will never let a traitor go."

It is better to kill someone by mistake than to let him go.

The phrase "public enemy" is Boss Wang's catchphrase. This big shot said the wrong thing.

The big shot stood up and wanted to slap himself, but Director Kang pulled him to sit down and said, "Sit down, and don't talk too much next time."

"Yes!"

The character sits down.

"Everyone, what do you think about this?"

Boss Dai didn't waste any time and got straight to the point.

No one spoke, and the staff office was eerily quiet.

"Old He, you speak first."

Boss Dai nodded.

"Yes, I dared to do that. If I don't say it well, please don't laugh at me, brothers."

Old He was polite.

"This person has special abilities and must become one of ours. Otherwise, we will..."

Lao He drew a line on his neck with his hand.

Director Kang said, "No, but the hermits like to be alone. It would be a bad idea to let them join the Military Control Commission and be bound by it! Mr. Yi is dead, and the one who kills the traitors should be rewarded greatly. It is better to reward him with a few hundred thousand yuan."

Lao He said, "The country is in such a difficult situation right now. The war is intense at the front. Some troops are still wearing straw sandals and holding swords to fight the Japanese. Ten thousand yuan is too much, let alone hundreds of thousands."

"Yi Mocheng offered one million to redeem himself, but this person didn't agree. Our reward of several hundred thousand is already too little. We can't let the people with lofty ideals in the world feel discouraged by offering a huge sum of money to buy a horse's bones, and think that following our national army is hard work, and that they can become rich and powerful by being a traitor and selling out the country. We have to set an example."

The two of them had a disagreement. Boss Dai had a blank expression on his face and did not express any opinion. He just said calmly: "Yaoxian, you go ahead."

Zheng Yaoxian sat down and said, "I agree with Director Kang's opinion, but Director He also has a point. We must give him a reward, and we must keep him under our control. But I don't recommend him joining any department under the Military Control Commission."

Boss Dai asked, "What do you mean?"

"I have carefully read what Director Kang wrote about what happened. This person possesses evil magic. He can become invisible, take things with a thought, and kill people suddenly. Such a person is more difficult to deal with than airplanes and cannons. If he joins us in a meeting, who would dare to speak? But if he is placed at the grassroots level, it would be even more inappropriate."

Everyone nodded.

Since ancient times, emperors have not used strangers.

Even Qin Shi Huang didn't dare to put Xu Fu next to him, and Cao Cao didn't dare to use Zuo Ci.

The nature of strange people cannot be judged by common sense.

If there is a dispute or discord around an alien, no one in the staff will survive if they raise their hands.

Zheng Yaoxian continued, "A million dollars is not much, but not a penny is not a small amount. In my opinion, it is better to give him a high-ranking official position. I have investigated this man in Shanghai and he fights the Japanese at every turn. His heart is with us, which is good. But it also proves that this man loves fame more than profit. If he is willing to work for us, it will be better if he is given an empty position. If he is not willing, he is not an enemy."

Director Kang said: "That's a good idea. Shanghai is not in our hands now anyway, so it would be an empty position for him to be the mayor."

The national army is good at giving away vacant land and assigning nominal positions.

Now many bandits who have been recruited have been appointed as county magistrates or town mayors in the Northeast.

The Northeast had long fallen into the hands of the Japanese, and all official positions were empty.

If you want to be an official, you have to snatch it from the devils.

If we can take back the occupied territory from the Japanese, we will write a big "服" (meaning "servant") on it and send you to take up your post in a sedan chair carried by eight people.

Boss Dai said, "The mayor is not available, let's change someone else."

Lao He said: "This man is a Maoshan magician, why not let him be the director of the Demon Suppression Bureau."

Shanghai has a Fire Department, Electricity Bureau, Water Resources Bureau, Tobacco Department, Transportation Bureau, etc.

But there is no such department as the Demon Suppression Bureau.

Since ancient times, demons and monsters have not been under the control of human beings, and there is no such thing as a demon-suppressing bureau or demon-suppressing bureau in the world.

But the Nationalist government was the best at paying empty salaries and creating empty positions.

The government even has a Redology Research Bureau, not to mention the Demon-Suppression Bureau.

"Okay, give me a military rank, it will be less..."

Boss Dai was just about to say second lieutenant.

Director Kang asked first: "Isn't the major too tall?"

"Not high, just right."

Boss Dai laughed, and everyone followed suit.

........................

The next morning, a knock on the door woke Wencai up from Wang Jiazhi's bed.

Old Wu is here again.

"Director Wu, did the higher-ups give you a reward?"

"No, the country is in trouble, how can we have money? I didn't get paid last month, and my family will soon be starving. But if there is a reward, Mr. Xu, the higher-ups will reward you with a high position and make you the director of the Demon Suppression Bureau."

"What? Demon Suppression Bureau? Director!"

Wencai was shocked.

What does it mean to be the director of a first-tier city?

This power is too great.

When Old Wu saw Wencai's shocked expression, he felt very happy.

"Director Xu, for your promotion, I, Old Wu, have talked to the higher-ups a lot and tried to find connections. Director Kang has even fallen out with them. The higher-ups originally said they would reward you with one million. Tell me, are you someone who cares about money?"

"I have plenty of money."

"You have to thank Director Kang!"

Old Wu used a stress on the word "thank you".

Wencai immediately understood: "Director Wu, I want to donate 20,000 yuan. I want to donate it to you, the grassroots officers on the front line."

After saying that, he took out two stacks of colorful banknotes.

It was Old Wu's turn to be shocked.

Twenty thousand yuan, he originally thought he would be given two hundred yuan.

A hundred times more!

Damn!

These gangsters are really rich.

"The grassroots are too difficult. I accepted it on behalf of the grassroots leaders."

Old Wu put the money in his arms.
