My Wife is a Counsel

Chapter 404: Banditry

Views:

In the bumpy jeep, Lu Ming grinned foolishly from time to time.

I regretted it as soon as I came back from Montenegro yesterday. Even now that I have gone to the countryside as Commissioner Zhang, my thoughts seem to still remain in Montenegro and I can't go back.

These days, he and Jennifer are inseparable and as sweet as honey. The little one likes to stay in his arms without moving and can't leave him for a moment.

Thinking back to that night, it was even more funny and heartwarming. When she found out what she was going to do was to put something into something, she was so surprised that she shyly and curiously asked in a low voice, "Are we going to pee together?" She petrified herself on the spot.

She really didn't understand anything. In fact, in this world, she had already reached adulthood, but the environment she had been living in was what some parents in her previous life hoped for, spotless and spotless. Unfortunately, it was impossible to achieve in her previous life.

Her father passed away, her life lost its rhythm, and she had not received any relevant education when she reached marriageable age.

She is really like a fairy from heaven, pure as can be.

Under my patient guidance, she was so shy and well-behaved, and when she was truly in harmony with me, she brought me that wonderful warmth, that sweetness like being wrapped in candy, that childish cry, that lovely everything…

The four wives give people different feelings, but they are all so wonderful, like different fairyland, each with its own enchantment.

If life is like this, what else can one ask for

The jeep jolted suddenly and slowly stopped.

The road ahead was becoming increasingly narrow and difficult to navigate, and it looked like vehicles could no longer pass.

Lu Ming came back to his senses, remembered the purpose of this trip, and felt ashamed.

"Get off, everyone change to bicycles!" Lu Ming jumped off the jeep.

Daguo and Xiaoguo got off the jeep swiftly, untied the rope and took down the bicycle, commonly known as "Erjiu Dagang", which was tied to the back of the jeep.

The so-called "Erjiu Dagang" is, as the name suggests, a relatively bulky bicycle on which traveling merchants can tie a lot of goods.

Several of the guards in the pistol platoon following the jeep were riding this type of vehicle, and the boxes tied to the back contained ammunition, grenades, etc.

The others are lighter 26-foot bicycles.

But they would switch between ammunition trucks and ordinary bicycles.

This is Dahuling Township, Guinan County. Across the mountainous area of the Guishan Mountains, to the north is Haixi Province.

The destination ahead is Xiaohuling Village a few miles away. To the north is the deep mountains and forests of the Guishan Mountains. Xiaohuling Village was attacked by bandits yesterday.

Lu Ming brought the entire pistol platoon from Nanping to Wanzhou. His guards remained unchanged and followed.

In addition, Jia Kui, director of the Guinan County branch of the Wanzhou Road Safety Committee, also went to Xiaohuling.

Jia Kui also served as the chairman of the Guinan County Sujing Working Committee.

He is a middle-aged man in his forties, serious and thoughtful, fitting the template of a county confidentiality bureau chief.

Following Jia Kui was a squadron of the county's police brigade. Today, the Security Committee is leading the suppression of bandits in various places, and the heads of the Security Committees at all levels also serve as training commissioners of the local police forces.

For example, Lu Ming also served as the training and administration commissioner of the Wanzhou Garrison Brigade, and Jia Kui was the training and administration commissioner of the county garrison battalion.

In this way, the pistol platoon, a security squadron, and more than sixty armed personnel who were accompanying them also came in a mighty force.

However, the security squadron only had a few bicycles, which were ridden by the squadron leader, the communicator, and others. The rest of the people could only run forward. Fortunately, the road was rugged and the bicycles were not fast to begin with, so they deliberately slowed down at this time.

Two plainclothes armed men were waiting by the path where the outline of Xiaohuling village could be seen.

It is an armed working team stationed in Dahuling Township by the County Security Committee.

After the bandit attack yesterday, this work team came to Xiaohuling Village to protect the villagers and deal with the aftermath.

This armed work team has more than 30 people. The team leader Miao Hongmei is an extremely bold and aggressive female warrior with big feet. She was born into a hunter family. In today's society, the fact that the head of a rural armed organization can be a woman from a farming family also shows her extraordinary qualities. Indeed, she is good at using a box gun and it is said that every bullet hits the target.

At the entrance of Xiaohuling Village, she was also waiting, wearing a cloth shirt and cloth pants, carrying a box gun, and barefoot. She was very tall and had a pretty face.

Jia Kui walked over first and Miao Hongmei saluted.

Jia Kui then led her to Lu Ming and said with a smile, "Captain Hongmei, this is our Chief Zhang."

Jia Kui is the highest officer in this system and a favorite of General Lu. He is very trusted by General Lu and is willing to move wherever there is difficulty. Jia Kui has a high emotional intelligence and his trust and intimacy with the highest officer in this system can be seen when he introduced himself. He is our bureau chief and our real leader.

"Hello, sir!" Miao Hongmei stood at attention suddenly with a loud voice.

Seeing Lu Ming looking at Miao Hongmei's bare feet, Jia Kui whispered, "Commander, we have issued quite a complete set of equipment. Although the work team is in plain clothes, we have issued several pairs of military rubber shoes. Captain Hongmei is used to going barefoot."

Lu Ming nodded, "I understand." He said to Miao Hongmei, "Explain the situation."

It can be seen that many houses in the village have obviously been burned down, and now the work team members are helping them build new wooden houses.

There were also bursts of crying and wailing, and it was obvious that many family members had been killed.

Miao Hongmei's face was filled with grief and indignation. "The bandit Liu Taisui attacked suddenly last night. Because there had never been bandits here before, the village's self-defense force was unprepared and almost did not delay or cover the villagers' escape. Many villagers did not have time to escape, and the property losses were huge. More than 20 villagers were killed and their bodies can be seen today. Many women and children are missing. They should have been looted by Liu Taisui and taken to the mountains." Gritting her teeth, "Liu Taisui also left words in the villagers' blood on the wall of the village office, saying that he is back, and whoever divides his land will have his entire family killed by him sooner or later."

Lu Ming nodded. This Liu Taisui was the governor of Guinan County appointed by the former Cheng Dasui puppet regime. His ancestral property was in Dahuling Township, and a lot of land in Dahuling Township had been occupied by him.

"Sir, our armed task force is still short of manpower. There are only a few towns close to the Guishan Mountains..." Miao Hongmei obviously spoke out what she thought, without noticing that Jia Kui frowned slightly.

Lu Ming nodded, "This is a problem, but how can we have sufficient manpower? One working team for each village in Southern Guangxi? But more than 30 armed forces are still not enough to resist the bandits, and they can hide in the mountains and keep on consuming. Just like before, when there were bandits in Guidong County, most of our security brigades were stationed in Guidong and went to the mountains to suppress the bandits. As a result, Liu Taisui started to cause trouble here again." He paused, "If we rely on defense, the number of bandits in Guishan will only increase. According to intelligence, they have received material support from Haixi, and the encirclement and suppression in the mountains will have little effect, because when they see that the situation is not right, they will retreat into Haixi..."

Miao Hongmei gritted her teeth, "The Haixi people are the worst. Why doesn't General Lu declare war on them? General Lu will definitely defeat them!"

Jia Kui frowned: "The boss hasn't finished speaking yet, why are you interrupting? You have no manners at all!" In fact, he looked at Miao Hongmei with a loving look. He must like this brave girl very much, but sometimes he really can't stand her temper.

Lu Ming smiled and waved his hand: "It doesn't matter. War has never been the first choice to solve problems." Naturally, he couldn't talk about the fact that the Black Mountain Army didn't have the strength to go to war with Haixi to boost his opponent's prestige. He pondered and said, "We can't talk about military matters rashly. For now, we can't hope to go to war with Haixi. It's still within our power and responsibility to think about how to suppress the bandits." Looking at Jia Kui, "There is a Wujia Market nearby, right?"

Jia Kui nodded and glanced at Lu Ming's expression. "Principal Wu has always been prestigious. When Liu Taisui of the Cheng bandit group was in power here, he did not provoke him."

Lu Ming smiled and said, "Okay, I'll go over and take a look later."

Wu Jingting, a big landlord in Wujiaji, has always been very good to his tenant farmers. The primary school he runs in Wujiaji has benefited the whole village and nearby villages and towns as well. The militia in Wujiaji is strong and has great combat effectiveness. Wu Jingting's eldest son runs a company in the provincial capital, so he can be considered to have seen the world.

When Liu Taisui was the governor of this county, he did not touch the land of Wujiaji.

Today, Wu Jingting also turned away the policy propagandists sent by the county. His third son, who was studying at a university in the provincial capital, happened to be at home on summer vacation. He kept talking about the imperial law, and refuted the policy propagandists speechless.

Afterwards, members of the militia directly drove out the propaganda staff.

In the written materials of the staff's report on the situation, it was mentioned that the militia members of Wujiaji had loaded their guns and pointed them at several of them. Adjectives such as "extremely vicious" and "defying the county office" were used to describe them. This characterization is very serious.

Now hearing that Lu Ming was going to Wujiaji, Jia Kui glanced at Lu Ming's expression but did not dare to say anything more.

Everyone knows that Commissioner Zhang is ruthless, but Principal Wu is popular among the people. The Commissioner should not do anything extreme and provoke a civil unrest.
