Chapter 1374 Anti-smuggling supervision
The Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai anti-smuggling offices couldn't wait to set up.

This was a godsend opportunity for Meng Shaoyuan.

The opportunity to unify the great smuggling industry in Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai is at hand.

Although, the future is definitely full of obstacles.

Who is willing to give up such a big piece of fat?

"There are several smuggling kings in Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai. Bai Maofeng mainly smuggles in northern Jiangsu. This man is a desperado...Jiao Mingcheng in Zhejiang is not only related to the government, but also has a good relationship with the Yu family..."

Facing Fa Zheng, the newly appointed Deputy Director of the Anti-Smuggling Division, Meng Shaoyuan introduced him carefully.

To be honest, he has already grasped the information of these big smugglers in the past.

It's a pity that there has never been a suitable excuse to do something to them.

"report!"

Qi Xuezhen hurried in: "Pang Pengde, supervisor of the Anti-smuggling Department of Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai, has arrived in Shanghai."

"So fast? So impatient?"

Meng Shaoyuan was also taken aback: "Damn it, you can't wait to get a position with real power?"

"Director Meng, what should we do?"

"Greet him right away, strictly protect his safety, and don't allow any accidents. Received, find a place to settle down first."

Meng Shaoyuan pondered there for a while: "Qi Xuezhen, book a table for me at the International Hotel tonight, you must have the highest standard!"

"understood."

"Fazheng, we two directors and deputy directors, let's meet with Director Pang tonight."

……

International Hotel.

Meng Shaoyuan, director of the Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai Anti-smuggling Division of the Military Control Bureau, Fa Zheng, deputy director, and Wu Jingyi, secretary of the Shanghai District of the Military Control Bureau, have arrived ahead of schedule.

This lineup can be regarded as giving Pang Pengde enough face, right?
After a while, the door of the box opened.

Qi Xuezhen walked in first: "Director Pang, please."

The three of Meng Shaoyuan immediately stood up.

A thin-faced man in a Chinese tunic suit and black-rimmed glasses walked in.

Pang Pengde, supervisor of Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai Anti-smuggling Office!
"Director Pang!"

Meng Shaoyuan was full of enthusiasm, and he went up to shake hands with him: "I am Meng Shaoyuan. Oh, we have been looking forward to your coming. The journey was hard, and there was no danger, right?"

"Thank you, Director Meng, for your trouble. The journey went smoothly." Pang Pengde said lightly: "Pang has a heavy responsibility, and he dare not delay. After receiving the appointment, he set off immediately. I hope that the work will not be delayed."

"No, no, Director Pang, please sit down." Meng Shaoyuan introduced Wu Jingyi and Fazheng to him, and then said, "Qi Xuezhen, order the dishes to be served."

As he said that, he explained again: "Director Pang, the waiter serving the food is also temporarily served by our people, so it is absolutely safe here."

Pang Pengde nodded slightly: "I've heard of Director Meng's work ability and great reputation, so I'm naturally very relieved."

"Pour wine."

A total of two kinds of wine were prepared.

One is Moutai and the other is red wine.

"What kind of wine does Director Pang drink?" Meng Shaoyuan asked tentatively.

"During the war, if you don't want to drink alcohol, Director Meng can drink it himself. I can drink some tea."

cut.

Meng Shaoyuan didn't take it seriously, and winked at Fazheng.

Fazheng didn't care whether Pang Pengde drank or not, poured Moutai into all four glasses, and put a cup in front of Pang Pengde.

Meng Shaoyuan raised the wine cup: "Come on, I'm here to greet Supervisor Pang today, let's do it!"

He, Fazheng, and Wu Jingyi all drank, but Pang Pengde really only took a sip of tea.

The dishes are served one by one.

In order to entertain Pang Pengde, Meng Shaoyuan did his best.

"Director Pang, please have dinner. I heard that Pang Pengde is from Hubei, so we specially prepared some Hubei dishes."

Pang Pengde didn't move his chopsticks, looked at the delicacies on the table, and sighed deeply: "Yes, I am from Xiaogan, Hubei, thank you Director Meng for your kindness... When I was in Chongqing, I often heard a saying that the front is tight , the rear is tight, hey, this time I came to Shanghai to see, the words are true."

Meng Shaoyuan was unhappy, really unhappy.

Old guy, where did you come up with so many yin and yang remarks when you were invited to dinner?

"Director Pang's words are a bit inappropriate." Fazheng smiled slightly: "Chongqing is the rear area. I don't know if there is any tightness. Director Pang has the most say. But I am in Shanghai, which is the real front line. There are Japanese people everywhere around us. Being able to eat a good meal surrounded by Japanese people is also my ability to handle affairs in Shanghai.”

Meng Shaoyuan was overjoyed, this kid can talk.

Sure enough, Pang Pengde had a slight embarrassment on his face.It seems that I really said something wrong.

Meng Shaoyuan smiled and said: "Director Pang, don't worry, I can still afford to treat you to a meal. I have a heavy job in Shanghai, and I am in danger every day. After eating this meal, I don't know where the next meal will be." , Director Pang, please let go and eat."

Pang Pengde still didn't move his chopsticks: "I'm thinking, if I can save this meal, how many bullets can I buy? How many Japanese can I kill? I also feel distressed."

"Director Pang."

This time it was Fazheng who spoke again: "Food and these are not important. Since the Anti-Japanese War, I have purchased a large amount of bullets and medicines for the army. This time, I also sent a large amount of medicines and urgently needed supplies for the army to Changsha. For this, Commander Xue also expressed his gratitude."

Wu Jingyi interjected: "Director Pang, the enemy-occupied area is different from other places, especially in Shanghai. The nature of the work is quite special, so the way of fighting is also different from other places. Our Director Meng once said that we all It’s fighting with the enemy with our heads in our hands, so why should we cut down on food and clothing when the Japanese traitors can make a fortune? We won’t suffer from this loss.”

Pang Pengde glanced at Wu Jingyi, and said "oh": "That's because I'm ignorant, but I'm tired from the journey and I really don't have an appetite. Director Meng, thank you for this meal. I don't want to accompany you anymore. I'll go back Rest. Tomorrow, let's discuss in detail how the anti-smuggling department's work should be carried out."

After finishing speaking, he actually stood up: "Please trouble Director Meng to send someone to take me back."

Meng Shaoyuan was not annoyed either: "Then, don't disturb Director Pang's rest. Qi Xuezhen, send Director Pang back."

Watching Pang Pengde leave, he thought that Meng Shaoyuan was about to lose his temper, but Meng Shaoyuan asked, "Did you find anything?"

"What? The intelligence says he doesn't fit in, and it seems to be true."

"No."

Meng Shaoyuan shook his head: "This man likes women. I found out when he saw Wu Jingyi just now."

"You have nothing good to say." Wu Jingyi never thought that he would say such a thing.

"It's true." Meng Shaoyuan said seriously, "Don't try to hide it from me. His eyes are wrong when he looks at Wu Jingyi. However, he is deliberately hiding himself and acting like he is not human. I have been depressed for a long time, I want to expose, but I am worried, and I hide myself carefully there."

Fazheng smiled and said, "Then the staff department will know how to deal with him."
