Chapter IX: Official Affairs
Three months later, Japan announced its unconditional surrender. Amid the cheers of the whole country, the Chinese people's eight-year arduous war of resistance finally ushered in the final victory. Immediately after that, the Kuomintang army successfully entered Nanjing and accepted the surrender of the Japanese defenders in Nanjing.
The whole country rejoiced, and the day that was eagerly awaited finally arrived. But Wu Tongguang couldn't be happy, and he could even be described as desperate at this time, after all, he had done things in the Japanese Chamber of Commerce......
One morning, a month after the Nationalist army was stationed in Nanjing, Wu Tongguang stood in the corner of his small courtyard, looking so helpless. He watched a group of policemen wearing black police uniforms, with batons and handcuffs at their waists, holding all kinds of household belongings in their hands, shuttling and busy from their houses to outside the courtyard gate.
Wu Tongguang was finally characterized as a 'traitor', 'lackey' and 'traitor'. Wu Tongguang is facing the fate of having his home raided, and he is even told that he will be arrested and sent to prison, and then what awaits him will be a 'fair' trial under the law.
Although he was confident that the Kuomintang would return his innocence when he took charge of Nanjing. But the cruelty of reality really overwhelmed him.
Although Wu Tongguang has repeated and clarified countless times, he is not a traitor. But they didn't listen to Wu Tongguang's explanation, they just kept carrying Wu Tongguang's things. I didn't even let go of the basin and towels.
Wu Tongguang stood in the corner, recalling the sudden change that happened early this morning, and at the same time racking his brains to think about how to get out.
This morning, when Wu Tongguang was still asleep, there was a quick and loud knock at the door.
When Wu Tongguang just opened a crack in the door, a group of policemen couldn't wait to rush in.
After the group of policemen came in, they didn't say a word, and broke into the house to search. Wu Tongguang has seen a lot of this kind of thing. Akari said it was a search, but in fact it was a search for money.
Wu Tongguang wanted to step forward to stop him, but was pulled aside by a policeman who looked like a leader. I saw this policeman, with long thief eyebrows and rat eyes, and a lewd look. The police hat is also worn crookedly.
Wu Tongguang took a closer look and realized that this was not Liu Er? Liu Er can also be regarded as a neighbor who lives on the same street as Wu Tongguang, and is a local gangster who is not very well-known.
But unlike other neighbors, when everyone knew that Wu Tongguang was an errand boy for the Japanese, they avoided him. This Liu Er revolves around Wu Tongguang all day long, Angkor is long, and Angkor is short. The purpose was to ask Wu Tongguang to help him get an errand with the Japanese. Wu Tongguang didn't pay attention to him at all. Wu Tongguang knew that if people like Liu Er were allowed to get their wish, they would definitely become hardcore traitors who harmed the Chinese.
What Wu Tongguang didn't expect was that after Nanjing became the world of the Kuomintang, a scoundrel like Liu Er turned into a policeman who maintained law and order.
Suddenly, a "Angkor" interrupted Wu Tongguang's thoughts, and Wu Tongguang could hear that it was Liu Er's voice. Wu Tongguang followed the sound and saw Liu Erzheng swaggering towards him.
Walking in front of Wu Tongguang, Liu Er looked gloating and said, "Angkor, the Japanese have fallen." Your best days are over! Don't hold on. ”
Wu Tongguang understood what Liu Er meant, and he wanted to tell him not to be stubborn, take out all the money he hid, and clear the disaster. As early as when Liu Er just broke into the door, he secretly told him very clearly. As long as the money is handed over to him, Wu Tongguang can be kept safe.
Wu Tongguang has worked in the Chamber of Commerce and Industry for several years, in addition to being exploited by Ono Ichiro and others, he has saved a few gold bars in private. But he kept the money, not for his own glory and wealth from time to time, but for an important purpose, that is, to find relatives.
Wu Tongguang has been in society for so many years, and he knows it very well. Even when it's really time to spend money to buy his life, he won't give the money to Liu Er, he is just an errand runner. If you give him the money, it will be a real waste.
Wu Tongguang pretended to be sad and said, "Second son, oh, no. "These two sons are what everyone called him when Liu Er was a gangster in the past.
Now that time has passed, Wu Tongguang can only change his words and continue: "Second brother, there is not much left of my meager salary every month that is exploited by the Japanese. It's good to be enough to feed yourself. ”
"Alright, Angkor. We are all people who understand. Working as an errand for the Japanese, who lives on wages alone? Liu Er still didn't give up.
Wu Tongguang still tried his best to explain, "Second brother, Brother Ang really didn't lie to you. You haven't worked as an errand for the Japanese, you don't know. This little devil guards us Chinese like a thief. They have few hairs, so they all have to show their bayonets and search us one by one. Not to mention, just two months ago, the president of the Chamber of Commerce and Industry lost a pen, the entire Chamber of Commerce and Industry blew up, and the gendarmerie went to ......"
"Enough," Liu Er's loud shout interrupted Wu Tongguang's words. Liu Er seemed to be extremely angry at Wu Tongguang's words just now.
Liu Er straightened the police hat on his head, and then said, "I haven't been an errand for the Japanese? That's not because you didn't help, or Lao Tzu would have been prosperous and rich. ”
Wu Tongguang knew that he was wrong, and hurriedly explained, "I'm helping you, or you won't end up as a traitor now." ”
Liu Er felt that what Wu Tongguang said did make some sense, but he didn't thank Wu Tongguang in his heart, and said in a weird way, "Thank you Ang Ge for your hard work." I got it first. ”
Wu Tongguang smiled and nodded to Liu Er to show his gratitude.
"However, now that I am a police officer, I have to do business, and I can't find a personal affair." Speaking of which, Liu Er also felt that he was too hypocritical.
