"Crazy, crazy..."

In a room at Wangjiang Hotel, Lin Hongfei was playing mahjong with three men in long gowns and casual clothes gathered around a square table.

As the mahjong tiles on the table were disrupted, Lin Hongfei and others chatted while placing the mahjong tiles one by one.

Two dice are still on the table, and four mahjong veterans start a new round of battle as soon as they see the points.

"Red!"

Lin Hongfei threw out a mahjong card, then looked up at a 50-year-old man opposite, and said with a smile: "Hao Gong, you are lucky today. You have won six or seven thousand oceans in just a few laps!"

The man called Haogong laughed: "Good luck, just luck!"

This person's name is Liu Haochun, from Xiangyang, Hubei Province. He is currently the governor of Hubei Province. He was born in Beiyang. He served as a staff member of Marshal Yuan when he was young. He also knew Lin Hongfei's grandfather Lin Qingsong, and the relationship between the two was still good.

Last year, a movement to overthrow the kings of the former governor Wang Zichun broke out in Hubei Province. At that time, in order to meet the request of the opposition forces to "govern Hubei people" by Liu Haochun, he specially invited Liu Haochun to serve as the governor of Hubei Province.

Liu Haochun naturally accepted it happily. After taking office in Hubei Province at the beginning, he still wanted to show off his skills and do something in his hometown.

However, Wang Zichun made him the governor just to ease the conflict with local forces, not really wanting to decentralize power to him.

Therefore, Liu Haochun, who had no military power, was soon defeated by Wang Zichun and became a puppet-like figure. Every day, he would read newspapers in the provincial government, write, and occasionally handle some minor official duties.

With Wang Zichun's power on, Liu Haochun naturally became interested, but after learning that the position of governor of Hubei Province was taken over by direct general Xiao Yaonan, he stopped his small moves.

Liu Haochun still has some understanding of Xiao Yaonan. This person's skills are far better than Wang Zichun. In addition, he is the confidant of the direct leader Cao Dashen. It is naturally unrealistic for Liu Haochun to seek some power. It seems that he, the governor of the false position, still has to continue to do so.

However, just when Liu Haochun was disheartened, Lin Hongfei came to the door!

As the governor of Hubei Province, Liu Haochun naturally had heard of Lin Hongfei's reputation. At a young age, he was only thirty years old, and he was already in the high position of the governor of Lingnan Province. He even gathered tens of thousands of tiger troops under his command, and was in full swing!

Lin Hongfei came to Liu Haochun, so he was not missing one, so he found someone to play mahjong.

Although Liu Haochun is a false governor, it is not because he lacks ability. To a large extent, he does not have military power and will naturally be subject to others.

If Lin Hongfei secretly supports this person, with Liu Haochun's ability, even if he cannot suppress Xiao Yaonan, it will be fine if he uses two moves.

Moreover, with Liu Haochun's restraint, Xiao Yaonan could not spare his energy to deal with him.

In this way, Lin Hongfei has more room to use his fists.

Liu Haochun is a smart person. He is very clear about the real purpose of Lin Hongfei's visit.

However, he was not disgusted. After all, if he wanted to regain some power from Xiao Yaonan, it would be impossible to achieve without the support of military power.

Lin Hongfei, who holds Jiangbei Army, is a good ally.

As a result, the relationship between Lin Hongfei and Liu Haochun quickly heated up. After playing mahjong for a few days, the relationship between the two was so good that they could wear a pair of pants!

In the old Beiyang circle, it is a tradition to play cards and discuss things at the mahjong table.

Many key personnel appointments, troops mobilization, alliances and other major events were negotiated on this mahjong table.

At this time, Lin Hongfei threw out a nine-tube, raised his head and said with a smile:

"Hao Gong, I have heard that private salt business in Hubei Province has been repeatedly banned. Many ordinary people are greedy for cheap things and go to buy private salt dealers with unknown origin and uneven quality."

"On the contrary, we are from the right place, and we can't sell high-quality official salt."

When Liu Haochun heard this, he was stunned and thought about how he was involved in the matter of private salt. However, he quickly realized that Lin Hongfei had something to say!

So, Liu Haochun followed Lin Hongfei and said, "That's right, I'm also having a headache about this matter recently!"

"I serve as the governor of Hubei Province and a parent official in a province. If I can't even handle the matter of private salt well, I'm sorry to the people in my hometown!"

"Is there any good way for Yunsheng? You can also give me some advice!"

Lin Hongfei smiled and said, "Okay, but you have to give in to me in this circle of mahjong. I have lost more than 4,000 yuan. If I go home, I can't explain to my insiders!"

"Hahaha!"

"Okay, if I guess correctly, Yun Sheng should be 30,000 or 60,000 yuan. Wait, I will give you a special cannon later!" Liu Haochun said with a laugh.

Lin Hongfei grabbed a card, took a look and put it on the table: "Get rich!"

"Hao Gong, regarding the rampant private salt, I suggest that the provincial government will come forward to establish the Hubei Provincial Salt Anti-smuggling Committee in Hankou, which is responsible for investigating and punishing private salt."

"And, I heard that those private salt dealers are holding guys in their hands, and some of them have machine guns."

"I think the Salt Anti-smuggling Committee will set up a Salt Anti-smuggling Police Brigade to deal with these salt dealers holding guns and cannons!"

"So, it is best to choose from professional soldiers in the Salt Anti-smuggling Police Brigade!"

After hearing this, Liu Haochun understood Lin Hongfei’s true intentions!

He has no military power in his hands, and the members of the police brigade have to pick people from the army. So which army should he choose?

Of course it is the Jiangbei Army!

In this way, Lin Hongfei naturally inserted an armed force loyal to him in the Hankou area.

Moreover, since the Salt Anti-smuggling Committee was established by the provincial government, the establishment of the police brigade was also under the jurisdiction of the provincial government, so Xiao Yaonan, as the governor, naturally could not interfere in the management.

In addition, Liu Haochun has formed an alliance with Lin Hongfei, and Liu Haochun can completely rely on the armed forces of this police brigade to compete with Xiao Yaonan!

Thinking of this, Liu Haochun looked at Lin Hongfei meaningfully:

"Yun Sheng's idea is very good!"

"It turns out that a hero is a teenager. Compared with you, I am really old!"

When Lin Hongfei heard this, he knew that Liu Haochun had agreed, and laughed and said, "Hao Gong is too honored. If I had not had the support of my elders, I would not have the glory of today."

"You eat more salt than I have ever eaten!"

"In the future, I have to rely on you to give me more, so as not to take some detours!"

Liu Haochun laughed and did not answer directly, but threw out a mahjong card and said, "Thirty thousand!"

"It's so messy!"

Lin Hongfei directly pushed down the mahjong in front of him, reached out to take the 30,000 yuan, and then laughed:
Chapter completed!
