Chapter 613: Acquaintance
Lu Chengzhou's analysis was recognized by Nozaki.
Arranging Wen Peishi on Road 24 is indeed the best choice.
However, where the specific arrangement is, Wen Peishi can choose by himself.
Road No. 24 is the territory of Lu Chengzhou, and as soon as he joined the work, he served as the inspector of Road No. 24.
He was very familiar with every part of Route 24.
I know everyone who lives on Route 24.
Whether it's new or recently moved out, he'll know at all times.
In the afternoon, Lu Chengzhou received a notice that Wen Peishi invited him to dinner at the West Lake Hotel at half past six in the evening.
If Wen Peishi wants to get all-round protection in the British Concession, he must have a good relationship with Lu Chengzhou.
After getting off work, Lu Chengzhou changed into a suit and drove to the West Lake Hotel.
Since he had a car, Lu Chengzhou felt that the British Concession was very small, and he could drive from one end to the other with one foot on the accelerator.
Even, the whole Haigu is not big, and it only takes half an hour to drive from the south to the north.
Lu Chengzhou came at the time, and at 6:25 o'clock, he arrived at the West Lake Hotel.
What he didn't expect was that Wen Peishi was waiting outside in person, accompanied by Nozaki.
Compared with Wen Peishi, Lu Chengzhou is just a small character.
In 1919, Wen Peishi went to Paris with the Chinese delegation to participate in the committee, and after returning, he served as the director of Wu Peizai's foreign affairs department, the supervisor of Shanghai Customs, and the negotiator.
In 1931, Wen Peishi participated in the organization and implementation of the Haigu plainclothes rebellion.
Since then, he has maintained close ties with the Japanese side.
"I'm sorry to keep you waiting." Lu Chengzhou saw Nozaki and saw an elderly man in a fur coat with a cane in his hand, and he knew that this was the well-known veteran traitor Wen Peishi.
Wen Peishi graduated from the Beiyang Naval Academy and went to the United Kingdom for further study, and he speaks English very well.
After returning home, he fell off the flagpole and broke his foot while training operations on a warship.
After being cured, although he could walk, he became lame.
"It's half past six, it's not time yet, it's early." Wen Peishi took out his pocket watch, glanced at the time, and laughed.
"It's cold outside, let's get inside." Nozaki glanced at Lu Chengzhou, he couldn't figure it out, he had arrived, why did Wen Peishi insist on waiting for Lu Chengzhou.
You know, it's so cold outside, Wen Peishi is sixty years old, do you have to pay so much attention to a little inspector?
"Yes." Lu Chengzhou hurriedly said.
"Mr. Wen came to the British Concession, and he was originally the head of the Yuguan Xunji Office, and he was going to accompany him personally. It's just that it's inconvenient for them to come to the concession, so I can only do it for me. Nozaki walked to the box inside and reiterated it again.
What he said was mainly for Lu Chengzhou.
Wen Peishi was very important and asked him not to put up a fight.
Lu Chengzhou naturally knew that letting Nozaki wait for him, he was indeed angry in his heart.
"I can't say that, I came to the British Concession, and I will ask Mr. Lu to take care of me in the future. In the future, the life of the old decay will be handed over to Mr. Lu. Wen Peishi waved his hand and said with a smile.
He is an old bureaucrat, and he is much more experienced than Nozaki in these things in officialdom.
The so-called county official is not as good as the current management, he can put on a stand in front of others, but not in front of Lu Chengzhou.
Why? The gendarmerie detachment had already told him to stay on Road 24 in the future.
And Road No. 24 is Lu Chengzhou's territory, and his personal safety is controlled by Lu Chengzhou, how can he put up a stand in front of Lu Chengzhou?
To put it mildly, his life is controlled by Lu Chengzhou to a certain extent.
The Pan family is quick to get rid of him, and with the protection of Lu Chengzhou, it is difficult for the Pan family to achieve their goal.
But if he offends Lu Chengzhou, or doesn't have enough respect for Lu Chengzhou, who knows if he will make trouble?
"Mr. Wen is serious, my duty is to protect the country and the people. As long as Mr. Wen is in my jurisdiction, I will do my best to protect my safety. Lu Chengzhou said sincerely.
The sedan chair is carried by everyone, and since Wen Peishi has given him enough respect, he naturally wants to say a few beautiful words.
In Xie Weihan's telegram, Lu Chengzhou really learned a lot of life experience.
Wen Peishi and Lu Chengzhou both showed full sincerity, and this meal was naturally enjoyable.
On the contrary, it was Nozaki, I don't know what happened, Wen Peishi and Lu Chengzhou met for the first time, and it was the first time they drank, and they were like old friends who hadn't seen each other for many years.
"Mr. Wen, if you can trust my brother, how about living opposite me? There is a house there, which is not big, but it is enough for three or five people, and the transportation is convenient, and it is convenient for a few guests to come to the house. After Lu Chengzhou and Wen Peishijiu went through three tours, they officially talked about this problem.
"Mr. Wen is going to stay in a hotel." Nozaki said suddenly.
"It's really more convenient to stay in a hotel, but there are so many people that it's not easy for people to notice." Lu Chengzhou reminded.
"Brother Lu has experience in this matter, I listen to you." Wen Peishi smiled and said.
"I'll send someone to clean it up, and I can move in tomorrow." Lu Chengzhou said.
"Okay, I'll stay at the Lishun Hotel for one night tonight." Wen Peishi nodded.
He was already impatient to move to the concession, that Jia Shaoming might do it at any time, how could he put his life in the hands of others.
"Okay, tomorrow afternoon, Mr. Wen can move in at any time." Lu Chengzhou didn't expect Wen Peishi to be so impatient.
"Brother Lu, if the elder brother is stationed in the Municipal Office, the elder brother will not be able to run away from the public office." When Wen Peishi was dismissed, he took Lu Chengzhou's hand and whispered in his ear.
Giving Lu Chengzhou this position is not to let him participate in the affairs of the Municipal Office, but to give him a chance to make money.
The Municipal Public Office Senate, at least 200 or more a month, right?
You must know that Lu Chengzhou currently has another identity, a translator for the Japanese Haigu Army Special Service, Wen Peishi took the opportunity to win him over, and he could also ask Lu Chengzhou to help him dredge up the relationship.
It is too common to use public money to do favors to private individuals.
"Thank you, Mr. Win." Lu Chengzhou said gratefully.
Although Wen Peishi said "Brother Wen", Lu Chengzhou couldn't call him "Brother Wen", and there was a huge difference in age and status between the two.
After going back, Lu Chengzhou went to No. 9 Zhaoyang Lane, London Road, Wen Peishi moved to the British Concession, he had already reported to the headquarters, and he came to get the headquarters to reply in the evening.
"What does the headquarters say?" Zeng Zilian and Lu Chengzhou asked after reading the draft of the telegram.
In her eyes, this was just a bunch of code, and Lu Chengzhou glanced at it and quickly saw the original text.
