The waiter took a breath and said without drinking water,"This morning, we found that Boss Zhao's front and back doors were blocked by a group of unidentified people. In this era, no one would dare to do this without the Japanese's instructions. "The people in our trading company wanted to enter but were stopped. Those inside can't come out either. We don't know the reason! When Manager Li saw that something was wrong, he immediately told me to take a shortcut to deliver the letter to Three Family Village.”
The people in the room looked at each other. Murong Yao was the first to speak. I want to go to Wuhu."
"I'll go too!" Niu Zheng added.
Niu Yunfeng was also anxious, but the situation was urgent."The two of you, bring a few more people. Don't bring too many people. The situation is unclear now. The premise was to save the person and not implicate the Four Seas Trading Company. Weapons could not be brought, and if they did, it would be troublesome if they could not enter the city. When you get there, you can think of a way! It was best not to be exposed. The people who went were the ones who cut the wires last time. Niu Zheng, go to the back of the mountain to inform them and bring them here. It was already three in the afternoon. Let's hurry up and set off immediately.”
She turned around and said to Murong Yao,"Yao 'er, I understand how you feel. You must be calm this time!"”
Murong Yao nodded.
How to get to Wuhu at this time became a problem. If they were to drive a carriage, the carriage would not be able to travel at night without lighting. Even if they had lanterns, they would not be able to walk fast. They would not be able to arrive before noon tomorrow. They took a shortcut over there. Without lighting, they couldn't walk fast at night.
At this moment, Wei Yiqu said," From Chizhou, it's more than 70 miles from here to Chizhou. If the carriage leaves now, it'll reach by nightfall." Before the Japanese occupied Nanjing, I considered that once Nanjing fell, there might not be enough means of transportation for refugees to escape. I wanted to do my best and send ships to Nanjing to help transport some refugees out. We modified three ships in our fleet, which is to add a layer of pleasure boats on the deck. It was convenient to shelter from the wind and rain. Who knew that the Japanese had surrounded Nanjing, and the soldiers and civilians in Nanjing had not escaped. The three ships were not used, and one of them was now in Chizhou. There are people from our independent brigade on the ship. Wuji, the people who went with you on the ship will recognize you. You can come back after settling them down. The water from Chizhou to Wuhu is smooth. You can reach Wuhu even if you sail for a night. When you reach Wuhu, this boat will listen to orders by the river. The people you withdraw can return on the same boat. This is safe and convenient, and it won't be hard for you to travel. They would definitely reach Wuhu tomorrow morning. This was the most time-saving and energy-saving method.”
Everyone heard that this plan was the best. Niu Zheng ran very fast. In less than an hour, the ten members of the special forces arrived. Three carriages were also prepared. Everyone got up and left without saying anything. Before they left, Murong Qingshan pulled Murong Yao back and warned him not to act blindly and pay attention to his safety.
The carriage went smoothly along the way. Murong Yao was burning with anxiety and didn't say a word along the way. Niu Zheng understood his feelings and didn't say anything on the way. This time, Liu Zi was temporarily assigned to lead the ten members of the special forces team. After boarding the boat in Chizhou, they lifted the anchor and set sail. Because it was flowing smoothly, the boat moved very steadily. After everyone settled down, Murong Yao and Niu Zheng gathered the special agents and announced the mission. Although Murong Yao was anxious and impatient along the way, he knew that this was already the smoothest. What was the outcome of the incident in Wuhu? Everything depended on the will of the heavens.
The ship had already arrived at Wuhu by the time the sun rose. The boat did not stop at Wuhu's wharf. It stopped at a riverside. It was still three miles away from Wuhu City. Everyone went ashore here, and the ship anchored here and waited. Although it was early spring, the morning weather was still a little cold. There were not many pedestrians on the streets of Wuhu. Only one regiment of the 18th Division of the Japanese Army was stationed in Wuhu, and there were no Japanese soldiers on the streets. The group of people dispersed into Wuhu. Everyone walked very carefully, but no accidents happened. In the morning, they were already close to Zhao Mingyuan's house. Murong Yao asked Niu Zheng to bring five people to the back door while the rest followed him to the front door.
Murong Yao came to the front door and observed from all angles for a long time. In the end, he confirmed that there were four people guarding the door of the Zhao family. These people were not Japanese and looked like local ruffians. They were not vigilant and their eyes were fixed on the Zhao family's door. Murong Yao's heart was slightly relieved. Without the Japanese military police involved, it seemed that the situation was not very serious. Could it be that someone wanted to go against Uncle Zhao? After a while, Niu Zheng also came over and said,"There are three people guarding the back. They don't look like soldiers.”
Murong Yao nodded." It's about the same as what I've judged. The four in front of me all look like cowards."”
"Then what should we do?" Niu Zheng asked.
Murong Yao said," No one is watching the wall. I'll bring three people to climb over the wall. You bring the rest to watch them from outside."”
Murong Yao asked Liu Zi to pick two people to follow him in. They turned to a corner of the wall and Murong Yao jumped in. The special forces were all experts and it was not a problem for them to jump over the wall. Liu Zi and the other two also jumped over. It was quiet inside. Murong Yao lightly walked to the main room and gently knocked on the door a few times. The door opened from the inside. The person who opened the door was Zhao Ming Yuan. When he saw Murong Yao, he was surprised and surprised."Why are you here?"
In the room, Wan 'er and Tong' er's eyes were red and swollen. When they saw Murong Yao, they were overjoyed and were about to call out. Murong Yao put his finger on his mouth and said,"Be quiet and don't alarm the people outside!”
Zhao Ming Yuan seemed to have aged a lot.”
Murong Yao pointed at the wall." Uncle Zhao, what's going on? The people from the Four Seas Trading Company rushed to the village yesterday to report the news. I rushed over overnight. Four of us came in, and there are eight more outside watching the front and back doors.”
Seeing Murong Yao, Zhao Ming Yuan's heart calmed down.""Something troublesome has happened. It's a little unexpected.”
Zhao Mingyuan said to the butler,"Old Zhao, tell the servants to boil some water."”He turned around and said to Wan 'er and Tong' er,"Your Brother Murong is here. Don't be afraid."”
After everyone sat down, Murong Yao looked at Zhao Ming Yuan.
Zhao Ming Yuan smiled bitterly." It started three days ago. That afternoon, an uninvited guest came to our house. This person was also from Wuhu and was a rice merchant. He used to be a small boss. When the Japanese came, he sought refuge with the Japanese. He got his daughter into the bed of a small captain of the Japanese military police. He relied on the power of the Japanese to extort and extort. In a few months, he collected a lot of property and even occupied a house. This person's surname was Ke, and his name was Ke Quanen. In the past, I never bothered with him and never interacted with him. When I saw this person coming, I knew that the weasel had come to pay a new year visit to the chicken. However, this person had the Japanese backing him up, so he could only greet him with a smile.”
After entering the house, Ke Quanen spoke up." Boss Zhao, let me tell you something from the bottom of my heart. We're all from Wuhu. We're all in the same line of work. We didn't interact much in the past. We should get to know each other more in the future." Boss Zhao is a rice merchant in Wuhu. I admire him very much. In front of the Imperial Army's Grand Lord, I've always said good things about you. The Imperial Army is about to become the master of Wuhu. Let me tell you the truth. I'm doing well in the Imperial Army, and I want to help my peers. Let's make a fortune together and work hard for the Imperial Army's East Asia Common Prosperity. The merchants of our rice store are preparing to set up a specialized rice store chamber of commerce. When the time comes, Boss Zhao must honor us and not decline. Let's have fun together. Let me say this from the bottom of my heart. The fire is high when everyone gathers firewood. All of us rice merchants will gather together and contribute money and effort to the Imperial Army.”
This person went around in circles for a long time without explaining his purpose. He just kept saying,'I'll tell you what's in my heart.' This was his catchphrase,'I'll deal with it carefully.' Ke Quanen's saliva splashed for more than half an hour before he suddenly changed the topic."Why didn't I see my two nieces today?”
I told him,"My daughter is in the house. They don't see strangers."”
Ke Quanen ignored me and continued,"Boss Zhao, let me tell you something from the bottom of my heart. Your two nieces aren't young anymore, right? Let me tell you from the bottom of my heart. The matriarch has taken a fancy to your daughter. This is a good thing that can't be found even if you hold a lantern. A good thing that others don't even dare to think about will fall on your head. I have to congratulate you in advance!”
Ke Quanen said,"I know it's not good. This bastard sent his daughter to a bed in Japan, and now he's thinking about my daughter." This was a dog of the Japanese. In order to sell his life for the Japanese, he would betray his ancestors and do all kinds of bad things.
I told him that my daughter was only 12 years old, and there were still a few years before she reached adulthood. Don't even think about it. I won't marry my daughter to a Japanese. You should leave. There's no room for negotiation.
Who knew that this guy was so thick-skinned?"Boss Zhao, let me tell you the truth. This time, your daughter has flown up to the top, unlike my daughter who followed a soldier. The person who took a fancy to my two nieces is a Japanese big boss. Even the imperial army would bow to him when they saw him. You're really lucky. All the benefits in the world have been taken by you. Now, the world belongs to the imperial army. You have a Japanese boss as your son-in-law. You can do whatever you want in Wuhu. My two nieces are living a good life with the big boss. As your father-in-law, you will also be proud. If the imperial army is happy, they will give you an official position in Wuhu. That would be too beautiful. To tell you the truth, I'm also very envious. Boss Zhao, don't miss out on a good marriage. The happiness of my two nieces depends on your decision.”
Seeing that I was still ignoring him, Ke Quanen's tone changed."Boss Zhao, let me tell you the truth. This is the world of the imperial army now. Can a little finger like you win against a thigh? This is the current situation. Since the matriarch has taken a fancy to your daughter, it's your daughter's blessing. Can you say no? Let me tell you something from the bottom of my heart. You'd better agree happily. Otherwise, in the end, your daughter will still have to marry him, and you'll be in trouble. I'll tell you the truth. You'd better think about it yourself.”
"I saw that the more he spoke, the more outrageous he became. I picked up the cup and smashed it over. I chased him out of the house with a scolding. Who knew that this fellow would not give up and came again the next day.”
