Chapter 380: Bankruptcy and Bankruptcy Forced to act

Streets inside and outside Lin'an County, western Hebei region. It's close to noon.

According to the overall plan set in advance, Francis sent out seven or eight men in the morning to post notices of bankruptcy and closure on the walls of the doors and windows of all the shops above the main streets in and around the county because of the brutal search of the dilapidated shops and shops by the Japanese puppets, leaving only one person in each store to guard the empty and messy shops. Soon after the notice was posted, a large number of shops inside and outside the county that had already opened their doors and had close business dealings with the Fang family had to close their doors when they saw the Fang family's notice. First, the silent support of the Fang family; Second, they are afraid that they will be similarly subjected to destructive and brutal searches by the detective team and the Japanese military police, which will affect their personal and property safety. The business situation inside and outside the county seat of Lin'an County suddenly fell into an unprecedented depression, and the streets were cold, sparse, withered and decayed. And one day later, it soon spread to the entire western Hebei region. The people living inside and outside the county are even more fluctuating and uneasy, and they are very worried about how to live in the future? Because they all know clearly in their hearts that the Fang family, known as Fang Bancheng, has firmly controlled the economic lifeline of the western Hebei region and Lin'an County for decades.

After being reprimanded and repeatedly urged by her companions mercilessly, Tian Yuanxiu had to be extremely reluctant but forced to act, blindly not knowing where to find her husband? It is also necessary to gather intelligence.

Tian Yuanxiu, who was wearing a moon-white thin muslin cheongsam, locked the door of the dormitory, led her four-year-old daughter Niuniu with her right hand, and walked out of the dilapidated gate of the lonely, lifeless National Model Middle School in Lin'an County with a thick cloth bag with a round bamboo ring and a beam in her left arm. Tian Yuanxiu, who came to Lin'an Street in the central area of the county, was shocked when she saw the situation in front of her, how could two-thirds of the shops and businesses be closed? And they are all big stores. What happened? How will the people in the county live in the future? When she saw the notice posted on the wall of the multi-prescription store going bankrupt and closed, she couldn't help but feel a twitch and tingle in her heart. What's going on? What kind of sudden change happened to the Fang family? Tian Yuanxiu was puzzled. Alas, don't think about these things for now, it is more important to go to Fang's house as soon as possible to express condolences, investigate the root cause, find your husband, and reunite the family. Tian Yuanxiu led her daughter Niuniu to leave the east-west Lin'an Avenue and walked into the north-south Anrong Street, and then turned into the east-west Longqing Street, and walked into the north gate of the No. 29 Fangjia Compound (the south gate of the Fangjia Compound is No. 26 Yongan Street).

After sitting down on the single sofa in the living room on the first floor of the Moon Tower in the backyard, Tian Yuanxiu looked nervous and anxious and asked Fang Daxian, who was sitting on the couch with his head down and sighing, why did so many shops and businesses in the Fang family go bankrupt and close down together?

Fang Daxian, who had a sad face, told Tian Yuanxiu sadly and helplessly that the detective team, the Japanese military police, and the Imperial Association Army forcibly and savagely searched all the shops and businesses of the Fang family inside and outside Lin'an County for five consecutive days on the pretext of arresting the Eighth Route Army.

"Huh? Is it just going bankrupt? It's a shame. Uncle Fang, how will the Fang family live in the future? Tian Yuanxiu asked worriedly.

"How's it going? Alas! I don't know how I'm going to live my life in the future. If you can't buy and sell, you won't be able to make money. In the future, I can only dig out the family and eat the old books. If you can't die, and you can't live well, you can live with your life and steal your life. ”

"Uncle Fang, I really can't figure it out. You are the maintenance chairman of Lin'an County, appointed by the Supreme Commander of the Japanese Army in the western Hebei region, Nakagawa Eiichisa, how could you be so brutally searched? The search was also carried out for five days in a row. It shouldn't be. Why is that? Did the Eighth Route Army really come to the store or home? ”

"Why? I'm just a businessman, how do I know why? How could the Eighth Route Army come to Fang's house? I am the maintenance president, and in their eyes, I am a hardcore traitor, and coming to the Fang family will only kill me. This is good, the Eighth Route Army hasn't looked for me yet, but the Imperial Army has been ruthless to me first, and it has to completely destroy the Fang family. Alas! Isn't that unwarranted? ”

The innocent Niuniu snuggled in the arms of Guo Shuting, who was sitting next to Fang Daxian, and called her grandmother to be coquettish in a milky voice, begging her grandmother to tell a story. Guo Shuting hugged Niuniu and felt very distressed, and kept muttering: Baby good granddaughter, grandma misses you so much. Fang Daxian's conversation with Tian Yuanxiu doesn't seem to have anything to do with the two grandchildren.

"Uncle Fang, the matter has come to this, don't be in a hurry, take care of your body."

"Thank you, I will. Kid, eat watermelon. In the future, you have to take Niuniu back to home, or you and Niuniu don't live in the school, just move back to live. Didn't I tell you? This will be your home from now on. In this chaotic world, you are so young, with a four-year-old child, living outside really worries us. If Xiao Liuzi knew, he would also be very worried. If you have any accidents with your child, how can I explain to Xiao Liuzi? Child, for the sake of Niu Niu, let's move back home. Fang Daxian's words were full of fatherly concern.

"Well, I'll move back in with Niu Niu in due course. Uncle Fang, where is Jiren now? Is it in the county seat? Or in Shuihe Village? Is Jiren the Communist Party and the Eighth Route Army? Do you have any news on him? Please be sure to tell me the truth. I want to find and see him as soon as possible, and Niuniu can't live without her father. ”

"This? This? Child, I know that you and Niuniu are very anxious and worried, and we parents are also very anxious and worried. However, however, we really don't have any news of him now, and we don't know where he is, so we have sent several people to the surrounding towns of the county to look for him, but they have not found him. Alas, this ignorant bastard boy is really worried about me, anxious to death. Fang Daxian looked at his wife's incomparably affectionate appearance with Niuniu, and almost relented to say the truth that his son Fang Jiren has been frequently active and carrying out major tasks in and around Lin'an County recently.

Tian Yuanxiu was extremely disappointed when she heard Fang Daxian say this, she looked at Niuniu's happy and carefree smiling face, closed her eyes sadly and helplessly, took a deep breath and muttered to herself:

"Jiren, Jiren, where are you now? Do you know that I've been looking for you everywhere? Our daughter is waiting for you to come back, huh? ”

At this time, Fang Jiren was in front of the main house of the middle courtyard, which was only separated by a wall from the backyard, and he was trying to save Sohan Hanako, the daughter of Sohan Hanako, who was imprisoned and ravaged by Nakagawa Eiichi for many days, and was also a senior commander of the Japanese invasion of China and a confidant and close friend.

Unexpectedly, after seeing her father's familiar handwritten letter and precious father-daughter photos, Zong Han Hanako couldn't help but feel sad and cried bitterly. The Japanese soldier in charge of the guard and Second Lieutenant Hirochi Takagi were immediately summoned, and the two raised their guns and aimed them at Francis's forehead and chest, respectively.

Fang Jiren put down the broom and raised his hands high, his whole body trembling slightly and begging for mercy:

"Taijun, don't, don't shoot, don't shoot. That's what happened, the young lady in the house said, said, she saw a mouse, and she gave and cried. ”

"Baga Ya Road! You have a very bad conscience, and you dare to tease and bully Miss Hanako! Dead pull dead ground there is! Takagi Hirotoshi, who didn't believe that there was a mouse in the main room, shouted with a vicious glare, pulling the bolt of the gun and preparing to shoot Fang Jiren.
