Siheyuan Shangpeng

After bidding farewell to the old man, Shang Qi drove his family back to the courtyard. Today was the second day of the Chinese New Year, and the third uncle Yan Fugui also took his family to visit his father-in-law, so he was not seen at the door. The Shang family got out of the car, and several men each took something and went into the courtyard. When Shang Peng walked through the gate, he chuckled. Everyone looked at him. Shang Peng said as he walked, "I am a little uncomfortable not seeing the third uncle when I brought things into the courtyard today!"

The whole family was amused after hearing this. Shang's mother laughed and said to Shang Peng: "What are you talking about? You have no respect for your elders or younger brothers. Teacher Yan's family is not easy either. With such a low salary and four children, he is just a gatekeeper. What's wrong with taking advantage of others? Although it's not pleasing, you don't give it to others and you don't take it on your own initiative. You are much better than that old pious woman in the Jia family in the middle courtyard!"

After saying that, he felt that what he said was a bit wrong and said, "You guys don't come back for a few days a year anyway, so don't make things too awkward."

Everyone nodded and went into their own rooms. Just after resting for a while, there was a knock on the door. When they opened the door, they saw it was the master uncle's guard, who said that the master uncle wanted to see Shang Qi and Shang Peng for something, so he asked them to go over there. He also said that he would send them back later in the evening and that they would have dinner there. When Shang's father heard this, he asked the two of them to quickly follow the guard and leave.

After the two left, Shang's mother asked Shang's father: "What's the situation with your eldest brother? Why didn't you ask at the old man's house? Why did you have to take the two children away now?"

Father Shang replied while reading a book: "I don't know either. The eldest brother must have his reasons for doing this. Anyway, he won't harm the two children. Why bother so much?"

"Okay, I'll listen to you. I'm just asking. Look, you said so much."

"Okay...I was wrong!"

The room fell silent again, and the only sounds were the turning of pages and the rustling of cloth.

Here, Shang Qi and Shang Peng came to the place where the master's uncle worked with the master's uncle's guards. When they arrived at the master's uncle's office, the master's uncle was waiting for them in the room.

After seeing the two of them, Zhang Heng motioned them to sit down and said to them, "I asked you to come here again because there are some things that cannot be discussed anymore.

First, that's where Shang Qi works. Although you're in college, it should be a two-year program. After you graduate, you'll be assigned to the City Defense Army of Sijiu City. You'll probably work as deputy chief of the Security Department of the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill, in charge of the security work of the military workshops, and you'll also have to go to the City Defense Army.

In two years, the Red Star Steel Mill will be expanded, and your security section will be upgraded to the Security Department. You will still be the deputy. At that time, the Steel Mill will set aside a separate piece of land to build a military factory. Security issues will still be under your management, but at that time you will take over all the responsibilities of the Security Department. The director of the Security Department is a part-time job, and you will be in charge of the normal security duties. You will be busy then, and you can put the city defense army aside. After all, you are too young, so wait a while. Take your time!"

"Um, Master Uncle, you mean I'm a security guard? No? Didn't you say I would go to the front line?"

"Haha...what do you believe? This is what the boss said. He said you have too strong a murderous heart. He wants you to cultivate your character and then let you go in a few years!"

"No, I just killed a few people. You think I'm too murderous? Master, let's discuss it. I think..."

"This is an order. Now you should study hard. You are so good at defense. We don't lack generals who can fight, but we lack people who know how to defend."

"So you all planned this. When I told the commander I wanted to come back when I was leaving, he looked at me like that. Okay! I'll obey your orders!"

"That's right. As for you, tell me about it yourself! I really haven't found out where that person came from, and he has a lot of supplies in his hands. Tell me about it!" After Zhang Heng finished talking with Shang Qi, he turned to Shang Peng and said.

"Uh! Who? Oh... Master, are you talking about that person? I know him. I knew him in the Northeast before, but he was about to die at that time. I saved him once, and he left me the address of Sijiu City, saying that I could find him whenever I came to Sijiu City.

I didn't want to look for him at first, but he came to me one day at school and said that I looked down on him and wanted to repay him for saving my life. I had no choice but to ask him to send some food and drink to my house. I don't know anything else!" Shang Peng wanted to say he didn't know, but when he saw Zhang Heng's playful eyes change, he changed his statement temporarily.

Zhang Heng looked at Shang Peng and smiled, saying, "Xiao Qi, go to the door to guard it. No one can get close."

"Yes." After saying that, Shang Qi walked out and went to guard the door.

After Shang Qi left, Zhang Heng said, "Haha... that's right, no matter who asks you in the future, just say this. If your father asks you, just say this too."

Shang Peng blinked his innocent eyes and said, "Uncle Master, I don't understand. This is how things are. I don't have any other explanation."

Zhang Heng laughed: "Haha... Not bad... Not bad... Xiaopeng, go back and tell that person that I want to make a deal with him. I wonder when he can meet with me."

"Uncle Master, your old man told me that you must look for him. He doesn't want to see official people. He will give you whatever you want!" As he spoke, he took out a piece of paper from his backpack.

"Oh! You're well prepared! Haha... Okay, let me take a look! Hmm... Interesting, can he really come up with so many supplies?"

"I don't know about that. He said I could get the things first and then pay. He said I could give the things to Hei San at the black market in the east of the city, and he would go to Hei San to get the money the next day!"

Zhang Heng's eyes flashed with a gleam of light, and he said to Shang Peng: "Your friend is very powerful, why did you give it to Hei San instead of trading directly with me?"

Shang Peng still smiled and said, "I don't know. Oh! He said that Hei San and his gang followed him and didn't rob him. He didn't say anything else!"

"Haha... Interesting. How about this, I'll figure out what I want and then give him an answer. By the way, how do I find him?"

Shang Peng took out another envelope from his bag and handed it to Zhang Heng, saying, "He said you must want to find him, so he asked me to give you this. He said he will provide the things and you will be responsible for paying. I don't need to worry about the rest."

Zhang Heng picked up the envelope and opened it directly. He took a look and nodded calmly.

However, Shang Peng saw that Master Uncle's eyebrows twitched involuntarily, and thought to himself: "Haha... since you cheated me, I might as well scare you."

It turned out that the envelope contained the address of the enemy spy that Shang Libie discovered when he went to the black market to sell things. Shang Libie had a scanning function, so it only took him a few minutes to find the hidden telegram. However, Shang Peng also discovered that there were still quite a few enemy spies in the entire Sijiu City.
