Anqiu City has two great "characters": Huang Jinbiao runs the city gates, and Jia Gui handles arrests.
Others become collaborators for wealth and glory. Jia Gui does it purely for two jin of donkey meat in soy sauce and a twenty-cent "gatekeeping fee."
When Shi Qingshan writes mocking words about him on a wall, Jia Gui trembles and says, "The Japanese officer told me to leave it up so he could study the enemy situation!"
When Huang Jinbiao steals credit for his work, Jia Gui sticks out his chin and shouts, "It's called playing the long game to catch the big fish. Ever heard of military strategy?"
Even the little brat selling cigarettes at Dingxiang Tower can swipe the silver dollars from his pocket, then get him to count them out for him.
When Lord Kurofuji tells him to catch the Eighth Route Army, Jia Gui brings back ten people, nine and a half of them vegetable sellers.
When Colonel Nojiri orders him to investigate spies, he mistakes the Japanese officer for a guerrilla unit and nearly falls to his knees begging, "Please spare me, Grandpa Eighth Route!"
Everyone in Anqiu knows Jia Gui is a super-spy who is "in Cao's camp but with his heart in Han's": his body is with the Japanese, but he uses all his wits to figure out how to screw over his own side.
I can't stand it at all. What are you writing?
