This family dinner was eaten with some disappointment. Although Wang Long and his wife rarely go out, they also knew that Lao San's transfer this time was not a promotion.

  Isn't there a scene in the play where Kangxi pacifies the three feudatories? Wang Longxian looked at his own Wu Sangui and was stunned. This old three, one step away from good days, pondered whether to move back to their hometown of Dongkou with their whole family or not.

  Wang Longxian had just opened his mouth when Wang Zhenyu seemed to have guessed the old man's little mind. It was really that having many children made him not care, and he didn't worry about whether his son would be killed by Yuan Guang in Beijing, but only considered the family's property. Alas, it was chilling.

  However, as a son, it's only natural that I wouldn't speak ill of my parents. Wang Zhenyu smiled and said: "Father, you can rest assured, I've made arrangements for everything here. The one taking over the Xiang-Gui patrol is not an outsider, but rather our clan uncle (Wang Longzhong). So, we can stay in Anjiang with peace of mind. Eventually, I'll still have to return."

  Wang Long finally put his heart at ease after hearing this, nodded towards Wang Zhenyu and seemed to remember something: "Old Three, you're going to Beijing, but aren't you passing by Baoding Prefecture? How many miles is Baoding Prefecture from Beijing?"

  Wang Zhenyu was stunned after listening, only then did he remember that the old man had never studied geography, but asked what Baoding Prefecture was.

  "Old Fourth has been gone since last summer and hasn't come back or written a letter to the family. The money he took with him is probably all used up by now. If you go to Beijing, take some time to visit Baoding and see how he's doing. He's got a stubborn streak, just like you and Old Fifth, born with a proud bone that doesn't know how to ask for help. As his older brother, you should be more considerate."

  Wang Zhenyu listened and rolled his eyes in his heart. I'm not your son, do I still have to flatter you? But what he thought in his heart was one thing, and on the surface, Wang Zhenyu still responded: "Son understands, Father, don't worry, let's go to the flower hall to prepare for dinner."

  The dinner was still conducted in accordance with the tradition unique to this era, men sat at one table and women sat at another.

  Ye Zuowen came with his eldest son Guoxuan, second son Guowei, and two younger sons Guoping and Guofang. Wang Long, on the other hand, was accompanied by his eldest son Zhenkun, third son Zhenyu, fifth son Zhenbang, Ma Xicheng, and Liu Xing. Ye Guowei saw his brother-in-law come out and immediately shrank his neck into his shoulders, almost hiding under the table.

  This is also strange, because of the fight last time, Wang Zhenyu was first beaten up and then thought it was over. As a result, he went to a bar to relax after recovering from his injuries. Just as he entered, Wang Chenhao, the deputy officer of his brother-in-law, arrived. Wang Chenhao is not like Wang Hu, who doesn't give him any face, just like Zhao Dongsheng, who only has eyes for the big official. So Ye Guowei was tragic, no matter how he threatened, scolded or begged, the guards didn't care about him and tied him up directly. Then they sent him to Anjiang Railway Station by car and abandoned him at the Tongdao Railway Company Construction Team. Fortunately, Song Xianfu took care of him intentionally, so Ye Guowei only carried his luggage for two days before being taken away to be a statistician. He was gone for more than half a month, and it wasn't until recently that Wang Hu was allowed to pick him up. So now when he sees Wang Zhenyu, he's like a mouse seeing a cat.

  Ye Zuwen knew all these things. In fact, he didn't know how to discipline this son who liked to cause trouble. Letting his daughter's husband handle it seemed like a good idea too.

  Moreover, he is also very busy now because Wang Zhenyu's cheap father's wine quality is not good. On ordinary days, when nothing happens, a few cups of wine will make him talk nonsense, and today is no exception.

  "Dear family, I'm telling you, my heart is aching. You don't know that in this life, the only right thing I, Wang Longxian, have done is to send Old Three to join the army." Wang Zhenyu heard this and thought to himself, "You've had a really stifling life, old man."

  Ye Zuwen hastily advised: "Old brother, your son is not the only one with such a good fortune. Each family has its own blessings, we are all old, let's just live our lives well."

  It's better not to persuade him, but with just one persuasion, Wang Long's words were unleashed.

  "What the hell is Yuan Shikai? My son, for this damn Republic, was in Hubei where it was raining bullets and he was killed (Wang Zhenyu, you think your son is Zhao Zilong?) Yuan Shikai just became a dogshit president, doesn't he know I, Wang Longxian, have seen officials before? Let me tell you, He Ye old brother, twenty years ago, during the Qing dynasty, I met Li Hongzhang, a real big shot, not like Yuan Shikai who dared to plot against my son. What kind of dogshit president is he?"

  Although Dad's words became more and more unreasonable, Wang Zhenyu still felt warm in his heart.

  At this time, Big Brother Zhen Kun and Old Five Zhen Bang counted together and said: "Old Three (Third Brother), let's go to the capital with you. If there's anything that happens, we brothers can also share it together."

  Wang Zhenyu was suddenly moved by his relatives in this era, although they also like to take advantage of him and gain some benefits, but after all, they still put themselves in their hearts.

  After a warm moment, Wang Zhenyu also stood up with some emotion and hugged the two brothers together: "Elder brother, Laowu, I understand your thoughts, but we can't go together, we can't let people destroy our family. You stay at home and take care of our parents and family business, that's all. Especially you, Zhenbang, from now on, you don't have to be my secretary anymore, the latest work arrangement is for you to take over as the director of the Guangxi Provincial Party Committee of the National Socialist Party, do a good job!"

  Drinking till the end, Wang Zhenyu was slightly tipsy. His eyes scanned around and found Ye Guowei about to slip away, immediately shouting: "Guowei ah!"

  Ye Guowei heard his brother-in-law calling him, and with a quivering body and a smile on his face, he turned around and said: "Ah, brother-in-law, you're calling me? I'm over here."

  Wang Zhenyu took a big step forward and wrapped his arm around Xiao Shu's shoulder: "Do you still remember the time your brother-in-law beat you with a stick?"

  Ye Guowei hastily said: "No no no, I wouldn't dare, brother-in-law is teaching me a lesson"

  Wang Zhenyu burst out laughing and said, "A real man should learn to rely on himself and not be arrogant just because he has a good family background. You need to make others look up to you! You should learn from your brother Guoxuan who is down-to-earth. This time I'm leaving, but I'll leave your sister at home. Among the Ye siblings, she's the one who protects you the most, so you should listen to her and stop causing trouble, got it?"

  Ye Guowei hastily nodded: "Got it, brother-in-law, this time I guarantee I won't mess up"

  Wang Zhenyu was in a great mood, and with a beckoning gesture to the waiter, two cups of wine were immediately brought over: "Come keep me company, brother-in-law. Let's have a drink. You'll have to learn to listen later."

  Ye Guowei swallowed his saliva and said: "But they won't let me drink anymore, saying it's to avoid trouble."

  Wang Zhenyu furrowed his brow: "What's there to misunderstand with my brother-in-law? Hurry up and drink, haha!"

  Yeh Tzu-wen looked at her somewhat disheartened husband and felt a pang of anxiety.

  The list of people accompanying the trip to Beijing had been finalized long ago, but my name was not on it. The communication officer is Wang Huai Shi, the deputy officer is Wang Chen Hao, and that seductress Zhao Yu Ting is also on the list. Heaven knows if she'll become a concubine after we get back. Alas, poor husband has to go to such a dangerous place for the sake of this family. Maybe some things should just be let go like mother said.

  Just as Wang Zhenyu was drunk, a cargo ship from Shanghai docked at the Yuanjiang pier.

  Wang Yazhuo slung the bundle of clothes onto his back and strolled down from the boat, only to be stunned by the incredibly busy dock. Little did he know that even more surprises awaited him ahead.

  Patriotic youths fleeing to Anjiang is no longer a rare occurrence. The National Socialist Party Youth Department is now responsible for receiving and resettling them.

  However, Wang Ya-qiao's resume apparently caught the attention of another department of the National Socialist Party. The Minister of the Party Affairs Investigation Department, Zhou Lin, carefully read through Wang Ya-qiao's resume and immediately felt that this person was reusable. Having been involved in several military operations and escaped from danger multiple times, wasn't someone with such bravery and meticulousness born to be a spy?

  Jun Zheng Bureau He Jian has secretly arranged for people to go to Beijing to strengthen the power of the Jun Zheng Bureau's Beijing station, while he himself has also sent people to Beijing, but the work effect is not ideal. Simply put, the personal ability of the dispatched personnel is still lacking.

  This has always been a headache for Zhou Ran, as the Minister of the Party Affairs Investigation Department, one of the three major special agencies under Wang Zhenyu's command. His top priority is to make his department surpass the Military Intelligence Bureau and become the Grand Marshal's most trusted department.

  But looking around, the people under his command are young and young, but there is no one like Gong Peng who can take charge alone. The arrival of Wang Yaqiao undoubtedly provided Zhou Lian with a choice.

  "Are you Wang Ya-qiao?" Zhou Dan asked very gently

  Wang Yazhuo felt very lucky, having just arrived in Anjiang. After being shocked by this European-style model new city, he was sent to the political training class set up at the Xiangxi Military Academy for a two-day intensive training session. He was then taken to the third floor of the National Socialist Party Department, actually the Grand Auditorium, located behind the Du Ban Fu building, where the party affairs investigation department was located.

  As Wang Ya-qiao's voice fell, Zhou Dan stood up: "Welcome, Comrade Wang Ya-qiao. From now on, you are a probationary member of the National Socialist Party and will work in this party affairs investigation department."

  Wang Yazhuo was taken aback, a newcomer like himself had already entered the party department, this is too ridiculous.

  As expected, he was assigned a task by Zhou Enlai: "We need loyal party members to test you. You will be sent to Beijing to carry out an important task that will determine the fate and future of our party."
