Looking at the expectant gazes of the father and daughter of the Xiao family, Gao Jiu was not only relieved, but also felt a little proud and satisfied.

Gao Jiu was right to move back to Xiao Mansion. He happened to have a lot of things to do, some of which were very confidential, whether it was living in the underground party or the military commander, it was somewhat inconvenient.

He nodded and said, "Okay, I've been away from here for more than half a year, and I'm just thinking about coming back to serve the master and the eldest lady."

When Xiao Yatong saw Gao Jiu agreeing to move back, she said happily: "It's great, come and be a driver for me, I feel the most at ease." After that, she giggled again.

At 4:30 pm, Gao Jiu returned to the underground party’s contact station.

Gao Jiu asked: "Captain Gao, the pseudo-government of Jinan is about to be established. Do your action team have any plans?"

Gao Hong thought Gao Jiu would assassinate those officials of the pseudo-government. He said: "Jiu Master, we have made arrangements for this matter. The main officials of the pseudo-government are all big traitors. We will take action to eliminate traitors. We must kill one to warn all these traitors to serve as a warning to others."

Gao Jiu asked: "If it is convenient, I want to see the list of anti-traitors."

Gao Hong trusted Gao Jiu very much, and he did not hesitate to take out the list of anti-traitors listed by the underground party.

There were 12 pseudo-government officials on the list, Xiao Yuanshan ranked fourth, and all the names of the top five were red-circled, which seemed to be the key targets to eliminate traitors.

After Gao Jiu finished watching, cold sweat broke out on his head.

He thought to himself: "Fortunately I have something to do and returned to Jinan, otherwise Mr. Xiao would be in danger."

Gao Jiu said: "Captain Gao, I have a request, and I hope the underground party can agree."

Gao Hong said: "Jiu Ye, your business is the matter of our underground party. The organization has specifically explained that as long as it is a request made by Jiu Ye, we will definitely do it."

Gao Jiu put the list of anti-traitors on the table. He pointed his finger at Xiao Yuanshan's name and said, "You must leave this person for me. I have important business dealings with him. I can guarantee that he does not sincerely defect to the Japanese. I hope you can protect him."

Gao Hong said: "I have no problem here. I will report your request to the organization. I believe the organization will agree."

Afterwards, Gao Jiu refused Gao Hong's attempt to stay and took Ning Wen, Ning Wu and Huang Banxian'er to leave the underground party's liaison station.

Gao Jiu sent Huang Banxian'er and others back to Xiao Mansion, and took a rickshaw alone to the Military Commission's contact station.

When they saw Gao Jiu, Xu Zhongming, Zhou Mingshan and others were surprised. Xu Zhongming asked, "Brother Gao, why are you back? This place is too dangerous, you might as well leave quickly."

Zhou Mingshan also said: "Yes, Brother Gao. Do you have any important things to do in Jinan? If we can help, just leave it to us. You might as well leave it here quickly."

Seeing Xu Zhongming and others' sincere concern for him, Gao Jiu was also a little moved. He smiled and said, "Thank you for your concern. Don't worry, I'm back to Jinan City now. Even agent masters like you can't think of it, and even more so, the Japanese can't think of it."

Xu Zhongming nodded and smiled and said, "Brother Gao is right. He is so skillful and brave. I really admire his brother."

He asked, "Brother Gao, what do you need help with when you come here this time?"

Gao Jiu asked the Japanese about the establishment of a pseudo-government in Jinan. Sure enough, just like he was worried, Xiao Yuanshan was also on the Military Commission's assassination list.

After Gao Jiu made his request, Xu Zhongming and Zhou Mingshan agreed.

Gao Jiu took out a bill of exchange of 10,000 yuan and said, "This is Mr. Xiao's intention. Please accept it with both brothers."

Xu Zhongming and Zhou Mingshan were very happy when they saw the bill of exchange. But they said, "Oh! Brother Gao, you are now out of here. Brothers are willing to help you do something. How can you spend money?"

Gao Jiu smiled and said, "The two brothers are willing to give me my face, so I can't be grateful for my brother. Even if this money is something that I respect my two brothers, you have to give me this face, right?"

Xu Zhongming smiled and said, "Okay! Brother, I will appreciate your feelings. Tell me, what else should I do?"

He and Zhou Mingshan are both smart people, knowing that Gao Jiu would not send so much money for no reason.

Gao Jiu smiled and said, "I like to deal with two brothers who are sensible. After the pseudo-regime is established, your assassination will continue, including Mr. Xiao. I don't need to say what to do, brothers know."

Zhou Mingshan smiled and said, "Don't worry [New    ]. I will take action myself at that time and promise not to hurt Mr. Xiao a hair."

Gao Jiu wanted the Military Control Commission to arrange a fake assassination of Xiao Yuanshan, otherwise it would arouse the suspicion of the Japanese.

After arranging this matter, Gao said goodbye and prepared to leave.

Xu Zhongming said, "Brother Gao, please wait a moment." After that, he nodded to Zhou Mingshan.

Zhou Mingshan walked to the cabinet against the wall and took out a brocade box from it. He opened the brocade box and took out a roll of paper tied with red thread from it.

Xu Zhongming said: "Brother Gao, I want to discuss something with you. The senior officials of the State Government value you very much, so they sent someone to send a letter of appointment." At this point, Zhou Mingshan untied the red line on the scroll of paper and spread the letter of appointment.

Gao Jiu saw it: "I am appointed as the colonel commander of the National Army's Shandong Southern Anti-Japanese Movement Corps." The signature is the Military Command of the National Revolutionary Army Military Commission.

Zhou Mingshan smiled and said, "Congratulations to Brother Gao! This letter of appointment is genuine. Other people's letter of appointment is issued by the districts of each station, and the highest is issued by the war zone. Your letter of appointment is issued by the Military Commission, and it has formal organization and military pay and equipment in the national army.

Brother, you are the youngest colonel of the National Army. Brother, I am almost 40 years old. I am just a lieutenant colonel of the National Army. It is really enviable!"

Xu Zhongming and Zhou Mingshan were talking hot, but they were a little worried. Based on their understanding of Gao Jiu, I am afraid Gao Jiu will not accept this letter of appointment.

Sure enough, Gao Jiu said: "Thank you for your trust in the National Government. The two brothers also understand me. Brother, I am born in a rash and used to being free and free. Just kidding, brother, I drink big drinks, eat meat in big mouthfuls, and divide gold and silver in scales. I am used to such free and easy days and cannot stand the constraints of the discipline of the national army.

My brothers are the same as me. If I join the National Army, I will not talk about anything else, just from the perspective of discipline, I am afraid that the National Army will not be able to tolerate it. Therefore, brother, I really cannot accept this letter of appointment.

However, brother, I am still very grateful to the government for its respect. I also asked my two brothers to express my gratitude to Shangfeng on my behalf.

Don’t worry, brother, although I don’t accept this letter of appointment, I will never give up any shirks in the fight against Japanese devils as long as I need my brother.”

Gao simply turned down the letter of appointment.

Such a result was obviously as expected by Xu Zhongming and Zhou Mingshan. They no longer forced themselves and sent Gao Jiu away.

Xu Zhongming and Zhou Mingshan sent Gao Jiu out of the door. Looking at Gao Jiu's disappearing back, Xu Zhongming said: "Old Zhou, I have said a long time ago that people with great abilities like Gao Jiu will not be restricted."

Zhou Mingshan nodded and said, "To be honest, I really envy Brother Gao. They live a very relaxed life. Unfortunately, I don't have the ability that others do."

When he returned to Xiao Mansion, Gao Jiu told Xiao Yuanshan and his daughter about the content of his conversation with the underground party and the Military Affairs Bureau.

The father and daughter were completely relieved when they saw Gao Jiu's arrangements were so thorough.
