The Zhou family, like the Anyuan Lin family, is a big family, the ancestors are officials, not to mention the rich side, the power is also extremely huge, not to mention that Laiyuan is much bigger than Anyuan, and the geographical location of Laiyuan is extremely superior, not as poor and remote as Anyuan, to be able to become a wang clan in such a place, the weight is naturally much heavier.

Because of this, although they are all behind enemy lines now, Anyuan can still temporarily become a paradise, but Laiyuan has long been panicked, and the common people seem to be able to hear the approaching footsteps of the Japanese army's iron hooves.

It's just that for the people of this era, life is too difficult, decades of domestic warlord melee, so that they have long been accustomed to war, accustomed to living humbly in the war, so the approach of the Japanese army, has not had much impact on their lives, maybe they have long been numb, numb to the point that the Japanese army comes, and there is not much difference between changing the warlord to rule every other time - life is already as difficult as weeds, no matter how bad it can be?

Big deal, it's death.

The Zhou family has been having a hard time recently, but on the surface, it is unusually beautiful.

Everyone knows that the Japanese spies have already invaded Laiyuan, and even secretly set up a traitor squad in the city to find out intelligence or something, and the Japanese military knows all the forces in Laiyuan.

As the leader of Laiyuan, the Zhou family is naturally the biggest target of the Japanese to woo and recruit, lobbyists and rumors are endless, and the rumors that the Zhou family and the Japanese are too close are the rumors that are intentionally or unintentionally released from those traitor squads who are secretly operating.

It is precisely because of this that many smaller families, and even some hostile forces that are faintly hostile on weekdays, are now coming over to curry favor with the Zhou family, after all, they also have to survive, if the Japanese come, the power of the Zhou family will soar, if they don't stand in line in advance, then there will be only a dead end.

In the Zhou family, Zhou Wenbin, the old man of Zhou, sat in the study in a long shirt, frowning.

"Dad, Shiro Koizumi came again yesterday......"

Zhou Tao said: "In addition to the conditions offered in the past, this time they also promised me that once I can successfully help them occupy Laiyuan peacefully, they will be willing to come forward to support you as the county magistrate of Laiyuan County, and at the same time appoint me as the security commander of Laiyuan, Anyuan Anyang area, and command the ...... of one side."

"No, you can't say yes!!"

Zhou Wenbin flatly refused: "Our Zhou family is also a figure with a head and a face in Laiyuan, although the reputation in the mouth of the people is not very good, but after all, this is our own Chinese business, but if we cooperate with the Japanese, it is a number of people who forget their ancestors, disloyal and unrighteous, and will be poked in the backbone!" ”

"Dad, do you think I want to?"

Zhou Biao said angrily: "It's not that I don't want to be loyal to the country and ask for my life for the people, if it weren't for these, how would I have put pen to paper and come back from Rong to the military academy to form my own troops?" But the reality of the situation you have also seen, the army of the Nationalist Government is losing and retreating, and there is no power to resist, and the country has fallen, but there is no difference at all between the Qing troops entering the customs back then, and it is estimated that it will not be long before the Japanese will become the next Qing government ......."

"How is that the same?" Zhou Wenbin said angrily.

"So what's the difference?"

Zhou Biao said: "Being ruled by the Manchu Tartars and being ruled by the Japanese are not both ruled by foreign races? Dad, recognize the reality, this is just another change of dynasty, our strength can not stop the torrent of history at all, if our Zhou family still wants to gain a foothold in Laiyuan, we can only follow the trend, otherwise we will definitely be crushed, really at that time, what should our Zhou family do? The family business that the ancestors have worked so hard to inherit is about to be destroyed in the hands of you and me, isn't this sorry for the ancestors? ”

Zhou Wenbin trembled angrily, not angry with Zhou Biao, because he knew that his son was just stating the facts, and he didn't get his own nod, although he kept in touch with the Japanese, he didn't really reach any agreement.

He was angry, but in such a torrent of history, his strength turned out to be so weak and vulnerable.

"Da Shao, what did the master say?"

Out of the study, Zhou Tao looked up to the sky and sighed, his heart was as heavy as a heavy stone, and after a long time, he walked forward, and the adjutant Peng Weiyi, who was waiting on the side, hurriedly trotted to follow, and asked in a low voice.

"I can't make up my mind...... To be honest, this determination is really hard to make! ”

Zhou Biao's eyes flashed a little dazed: "Although Qinggou is also a foreign race, but after all, he lives in the same land with us, but the Japanese are the real foreign race, who can't see their wolf ambitions?" ”

"Da Shao, those who know the times are Junjie!"

Peng Weiyi said: "I don't think you can't see that the surrounding Wang family, Luo family, and Sun family, although they have been pressed by us, have been unconvinced openly and secretly, but why are they scrambling to bow to us now?" It's not because they all know that the Japanese are wooing you, it's not because they all know that the Japanese are coming over, and there is nothing to stop them at all - the reputation of traitors is really not good, but survival is more important than anything else! ”

Zhou Biao didn't speak, how could he not know that this Peng Weiyi had already been bought by the Japanese, so he helped that Koizumi Shiro blow the wind next to his ear all day long? But he also knew that what Peng Weiyi said was true, and it was a foreseeable fact that would definitely happen.

"If it is an ordinary small family, the one who drags his children and daughters will leave, but our Zhou family's such a big industry is in Laiyuan, where else can we go?"

Peng Weiyi continued: "Besides, you should also know that the Japanese deliberately wooed Da Shao instead of Laiyuan's other families, and didn't they take a fancy to the more than 1,000 people under Da Shao's men? If the Japanese finally lose patience and turn their heads to win over the Wang family, the Luo family, the Sun family, and them, then the situation of our Zhou family will be even more embarrassing - you don't want to be a traitor, but you don't see it, the people of the Wang family, the Luo family, and the Sun family are rushing to do it......"

"Don't say it, I'll think about it again, let Mr. Koizumi, give me a few more days!" Zhou Tao said sadly.

"Don't worry, although I do have a lot of contact with Shiro Koizumi, but my heart will always be towards Da Shao, I am brought out by you Da Shao, no matter what decision Da Shao makes in the end, I will support you!"

Peng Weiyi said, and then said another thing: "Da Shao, there is a news from Anyuanlin's family, it's not good......
