South to North: A Prison Guard at the Beginning

Chapter 240: Politics, That's How It Is

Zhou Xiaobai's words were full of profound meaning. She reminded Yuan Mu that Liu Yaoguo was less than 60 years old this year. That meant that Liu Yaoguo was currently the deputy minister of the Ministry of Public Security and was not yet 60 years old. In other words, he was very likely to make further progress.

What is Liu Yaoguo's current position? He is at the ministerial level. He knows what his next level will be. As long as he has such a relationship with Liu Jun, it means that he will have another backer in the future.

His biggest and most solid backer now is Zhou Xiaobai's father, Zhou Zhennan. He is the commander of the Kyoto Military Region and a member of the Military Commission. He is definitely a big shot.

In fact, Zhang Shaohuai can also be counted as one. From what Zhou Zhennan said before, it seems that Zhang Shaohuai is also going to make some moves, but where and how he will move is still an unknown. But if he moves under Zhou Zhennan's operation, then he will be one of his own backers.

Now there is a clear mark on his head, that is, he is from the Zhou family. Although he has not found people from other factions for the time being, he knows that a place like Kyoto is full of hidden dragons and crouching tigers. How could there be only one faction, the Zhou family?

He just analyzed Zhou Xiaobai's words himself. It seems that their family has not been in contact with the Liu family for a long time. It seems that the two families are not from the same faction, or the Liu family has no faction. But in Yuan Mu's opinion, this is impossible. If there is no faction, Liu Yaoguo cannot hold such an important position.

Yuan Mu and Zhou Xiaobai talked as they walked. He wanted to know more about the Liu family so that he could make a careful analysis and make the most correct decision.

Moreover, he would have to have a good chat with Zhou Zhennan later. After all, his current identity was different, and he could not contact other people rashly. Moreover, this was Kyoto, and it was easy to make mistakes if he was not careful. There was nothing wrong in asking more questions.

At night, Yuan Mu lay on his bed, thinking about the conversation he had with Zhou Zhennan at Zhou's house.

Zhou Zhennan has already talked about the relationship between his family and the Zhou family. In short, the relationship between the two families is pretty good. Zhou Zhennan and Liu Yaoguo are also comrades-in-arms. After the movement, Zhou Zhennan was rehabilitated earlier, while Liu Yaoguo was still unemployed at home at that time.

Zhou Zhennan is usually busy with work, so the two families visit less frequently and their relationship is not as close as before. In addition, Liu Yaoguo's old boss passed away two years ago, and now Liu Yaoguo is left without a backer. This is the best time to lend him a hand.

So Zhou Zhennan told Yuan Mu that if possible, Liu Jun could still accept it. This was equivalent to the Zhou family sending a goodwill signal to the Liu family.

"Oh!" Yuan Mu sighed, picked up the cigarette on the bedside table and lit it.

He really didn't expect that politics would start from now on. He didn't think too much about it at first. Even if Zhou Xiaobai hadn't intervened, he might have been under Liu Jun's command in the end. Now the nature of everything has changed. This has completely become a political task.

But what can I do? From the moment I chose Zhou Xiaobai, this day was destined to come. And this is just the beginning. The political game is still to come.

Nowadays, many forces have not emerged, and there are still too many things that I don’t understand. Forget it, I’ll just take it one step at a time.

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Time flies, it is November and the weather has turned cold.

In a forest outside Kyoto, two men wearing camouflage uniforms and carrying backpacks on their backs were walking through the woods.

"Hurry up! Hurry up!" The leading man turned his head, looked at the man behind him and shouted harshly.

"Master! Master! Please slow down, I really can't run any longer!"

These two people are Yuan Mu and Liu Jun. It has been several days since Liu Jun became Yuan Mu's apprentice. Today is the day when Yuan Mu took Liu Jun out for jungle cross-country training.

Although they are police officers, they may not have frequent contact with the jungle, but you cannot fail to know how to use it.

"It's only a dozen kilometers, and we are still halfway to our goal! Speed ​​up!" Yuan Mu shouted mercilessly.

Liu Jun had no choice but to grit his teeth and follow. This time they were carrying heavy loads and cross-country. He was carrying 20 kilograms on his back, while Yuan Mu was carrying 40 kilograms, which was twice as heavy as him.

After so many days of training, Liu Jun could only describe his master in two words: pervert!

That's really perverted. He is cruel to him and even crueler to himself, but he also really admires Yuan Mu, even a fanatical worshipper of him. He is so strong. This is what a man should be like.

It was already afternoon when the two men crossed the jungle and returned to the Criminal Investigation Corps dormitory. At this moment, Liu Jun looked like he had just been fished out of the river. His whole body was soaked in sweat. He sat on the floor of Yuan Mu's dormitory, gasping for breath.

"Xiaojun! Your physical fitness is not good enough. You need to practice more. How can you chase criminals without good physical fitness?" Yuan Mu said while taking off his clothes in front of the mirror.

"Master! I'm not you. I have to keep up with your speed in a 30-kilometer cross-country run with a load. I really can't make it!" Liu Jun waved his hands and panted.

"We'll do this kind of off-roading once a week from now on. You have to be mentally prepared!"

"Ah? Once a week! Master, please kill me!" Liu Jun wailed.

"Don't be impatient. I haven't finished yet. You still have to increase the weight you carry. You are only carrying 20 kilograms. I want you to increase the weight to more than 30 kilograms within two months!"

I thought there would be a reversal, but I didn't expect Yuan Mu to go even further and add more weight. It looks like there will be no good days in the future.

"Master, can't we practice something else? I've seen you've been taking me to do physical training for such a long time, shouldn't we do some target practice or something? I heard that you often go to the shooting range, why don't you do any target practice when I'm here?"

Yuan Mu glanced at him.

"What? You want to run before you learn to walk? You should improve your physical fitness first. If you don't dare to shoot a gun, what are you holding it for? You're using it as a firewood stick!"

"Master, can we not talk about that? I've already said that I wasn't used to it at the time. If it happens again, I will definitely shoot decisively!" Liu Jun was speechless.

"Oh? Shooted decisively? Then let me ask you, how was your result in 20-meter pistol shooting?" Yuan Mu turned his head and asked.

"Not bad, basically around the ninth ring." Liu Jun nodded.

"Ha! Only nine rings! How dare you show off with nine rings? What if you were facing a gangster who was holding hostages? Could you guarantee that you would kill the gangster with one shot instead of killing the hostage?"

"Master, this..." Liu Jun was speechless for a moment. He didn't know if he could do it.
