428 Pit Man (II)
Joshua hummed an unknown ditty and walked briskly out of the carriage, his most enjoyable day in nearly a decade. As soon as he thought of the check in his jacket pocket and the assurance of the Englishman, his heart was as sweet as eating two catties of honey.
One hundred thousand pounds. This is really not a small number, this amount of money is enough for him to retire in Jerusalem, and even the cost of his youngest grandson to go to university in England and ask for a daughter-in-law in the future.
Of course, Joshua's most important thing was not the 100,000 pounds, he was honestly not too short of money, and what really satisfied him was that the British promised that as long as he got things done, Joshua's eldest son Moab would have their full support in the future, and there would be no problem in mixing a temple priest. The problem of the jobs for his sons and grandsons was basically solved, and for Joshua this life was a great success.
However, his youngest son, Arno, was quite disagreeable with his father's decision, and on the way home, he warned: "Father, if you do this, you will inevitably offend the Russians, if the Russians ......."
But before he could finish speaking, his eldest brother Moab interrupted him very unhappily: "Arno, what do you know? Britain is the empire on which the sun never sets, and the future of the Middle East is bound to be decided by the British. What are the Russians? It's just a bun of dirt buns. Besides, didn't the Russians have to pay a price for persecuting our compatriots back then? My father's decision is beyond reproach! β
Joshua nodded with satisfaction, satisfied with his eldest son, Moab. Speaking of which, this eldest son is his heart, he went to study in the UK in his early years, learned a lot of skills, and has gained a lot of experience with himself over the years, and the future of the Jooshi family must depend on him.
As for the youngest son, Joshua was a little unpleasant, and this boy was not good at studying when he was young. I don't know what to say about those "middle peasants" who went to join the army, and went to East Prussia to help those "anti-party", don't you kid know that if East Prussia becomes the core of the Jews, then what will you eat?
Over the years, this kid has always been against him, and he has to oppose almost everything. Always against Jewish tradition, without the temple priests, who will lead the Jews forward!
So Joshua immediately shouted and ordered his youngest son, Arno, to shut up immediately, and kicked him out of the study. When the younger son was unhappy and left, Joshua said to the eldest son, "Moab, after I die, you must make a clear decision with Arno." This brother of yours is naΓ―ve to the extreme, and it is not enough to protect the interests of the Joab family. There he is. Maybe it's going to bring disaster to the family at some point. I promised your mother, but I really can't help it, otherwise I would have driven this little bastard away a long time ago! β
For Lao Tzu's request, Moab naturally couldn't ask for it, and drove away the little brother, this huge family property is not all his, he can't ask for it. He even wished he could get rid of Arno right now.
"Hmm," Joshua nodded thoughtfully. "Yes, now the British and the Russians are fighting. There will inevitably be new conflicts in the future. That kid is on the side of the Russians, and he will only do bad things for us, and it is good to get rid of him, and save us from causing trouble. Well, I'll tell him later, and say that I'm going to go to East Prussia to fight. Let him get out of here! β
These words made Moab's heart flutter, and he almost shouted at Daddy. But Moab and Joshua didn't know that their little brother was not easy to bully. I have long been fed up with the anger of my father and brother over the years, and I have long taken refuge in a certain immortal.
After Arno was swept away, he was not sad at all, nor was he dissatisfied. After leaving the house, he went straight to the residence of an immortal.
"Comrade Andrei, I have done everything you have ordered!"
Li Xiaofeng smiled and looked at Arnold, who was in his early thirties, and he knew very well that this young man was definitely not here to report the completion of the work, but to ask for credit. Speaking from the heart, the Joab family really doesn't have a good stubble, Lao Tzu is an old fox, the eldest son is a wolf, and the younger son is not going anywhere, at least he is a weasel. All in all, a family with a human face and a beast's heart.
Of course, Li Xiaofeng likes this style of doing things with money, he opened the checkbook with a smile, wrote the numbers with a smile, and then signed and stamped it and handed it over: "Any bank in Palestine can exchange it." β
Arnold glanced at the number on the check, his smiling face was happy, the above number was too satisfying to him, how much money did he make over the years as a cow and a horse for the British? This time, he sold his father, and he earned back the money that the old man had sold for half of his life. As soon as he thought of this, he couldn't help but laugh at the stupidity of the old man and his eldest brother.
"Do you have any other commands?"
Arno probably thinks that this time the cheating daddy is really worth it, and can't help but want to maximize the value, anyway, he has already sold it once, and there is no psychological burden to sell it again. And isn't maximizing profits the way Jews survive?
"Are you interested in the position of the temple priest?" Li Xiaofeng asked with a smile.
Arno's eyes lit up with these words, how could he not be interested, if he became a temple priest like the dead ghost father, and even the future of his son and grandson was determined for the rest of his life, he was really interested.
Li Xiaofeng nodded with satisfaction and said slowly: "I am willing to support you to become a temple priest, as long as you ......"
Without waiting for Li Xiaofeng to finish speaking, Yano hurriedly replied: "You speak, what do you need me to do, I will definitely do it!" β
Li Xiaofeng likes to talk to this kind of smart person, for a person like Arnold, everything in this world is valuable, not to mention selling his father and big brother, let him sell his body and wife, that is, look at a few zeros behind the check.
"I need a witness, someone to testify against Joshua and Moab, preferably the kind of weight. Do you understand? β
Arno replied happily: "I have all the evidence of their crimes, and I am willing to be a witness!" β
Li Xiaofeng smiled, and without saying a word, he swiped a check again: "Very good, this is your appearance fee, if you behave well, I will fully support you to become a temple priest!" β
Arnold grinned with joy, and he felt that he had made the right move when he went to East Prussia a few years ago. If he hadn't gone to East Prussia, how could he have connected with KGB, and how could he have met such a big cow as a certain immortal?
If he hadn't made it to East Prussia, he would have waited for his dead daddy and miser brother to sweep him out of the house. He is really poor and white, and he will never come out. How good it is now, the temple priests are beckoning to him, not only for himself, but also for his children and grandchildren.
You don't have a trace of shame when you ask Arnold, isn't it too much for dad and big brother to treat him like this? Hey, for Arnold, those two were unkind first. Naturally, he cannot be blamed for his injustice. Besides, people go to high places and water flows to low places, and those two dead ghosts and rats can't see the situation clearly, who can be blamed.
When it was daybreak, Joab's family had good dreams, the difference was that Joshua and Moab would soon wake up, while Arno's good dreams would continue.
Joshua triumphantly boarded the carriage and headed for the Sanhedrin, where he would give the Russians a good look to-day, as the English had instructed. Kick the Russians directly out of the big chessboard of the Middle East. It's just that when Joshua stepped out of the carriage, it was obvious that the atmosphere of the guild was a little strange, as if something big was about to happen.
But to Joshua's surprise, he couldn't see any difference between the guild and usual, the staff were still those people, and the Jewish bigwigs in attendance were still those old people. He laughed at himself, feeling that he was a little suspicious.
"Oliva, why are you old fellow?" Joshua smiled at a man who was covered in black. The old man wearing a Jewish hat and leaving a large beard greets.
This Oliva is older than him, but because he is too old. Usually not in good health, and more British people are not in the right way, basically rarely attend the official meetings of the trade unions. It's a little strange for Joshua to be here today.
But even stranger was to come, because Oliva was quite indifferent to him, just glaring at him. Then he turned his head, as if he saw the expression of a humanoid stool.
Joshua was a little embarrassed, but he didn't take it to heart, because Oliva had not dealt with him well before, and he was even more old-fashioned than him. I used to look at no one well, and sometimes I scolded him, but today it's good if I don't sarcastically mock him.
So Joshua didn't particularly care, he felt that Oliva didn't have a few days to live, and when this old ghost died, to see how he cleaned up the old man's descendants, God said that the father would pay the debt, which was a natural thing.
It's just that what Joshua didn't expect was that he was the one who had to repay the debt today, and according to the agenda of the guild, the topic of discussion was Joshua's report on his contacts with the Soviet Union. Following the instructions of his British masters, he blackened the Soviet Union together, saying that the Soviet Union's asking price was too high and insincere. All in all, he did exactly what his master had instructed.
According to Joshua's thoughts, as soon as his result came out, the matter was basically decided, and then there was nothing to do with the Russians. But who would have thought that just after he finished his report, a sneer sounded in the venue, and then the people who slapped his face came out one after another.
"Brother Joshua, I'm afraid it's not that the Russians' asking price is too high, but that you have accepted the benefits of the British and deliberately want to disrupt this cooperation!"
"Not only did he accept the benefits of the British, he simply became a dog leg of the British, and sold the interests of our compatriots. I strongly demand that Joshua be disqualified as high priest and Sanhedrin and expelled, and that he be expelled from Jerusalem! β
"That's too cheap for him, for such a traitor, he must be punished, so that he can set an example!"
Joshua was stunned when the shouting and killing sound came out, he didn't understand what was going on, yesterday, these people were still talking and laughing and calling him brothers, why did they stop him to death in the next day?
Of course, Joshua was not without his comrades, and he was not alone in yesterday's deal, and Joshua and his henchmen also began to fight back in the face of the accusations, firmly denying the benefits of the British, and once again insisting that they were committed to the common good.
Joshua, for example, said, "All these accusations are personal attacks on me, all the most despicable slanders, all of them are fabricated, all of them are slanderous ......"
Anyway, just looking at the impassioned and inspiring virtue of this product, I really thought he was a righteous gentleman, a Bilian who came out of the mud and was not stained. It's just that it's all a show, it's all a trick of politicians.
Because Oliva immediately began to slap his face next: "Really? Joshua, you dare to swear to God that what you say is true, that you have never told a single lie, and that you have never taken a penny from the British? β
Swear? For an old fritter like Joshua, swearing is as simple as drinking plain water, let alone swearing to God. He will not be afraid to swear to Satan. Soon, holding the Old Testament, Joshua began to swear, that high-sounding, that upright, really made people laugh.
Because as soon as Joshua finished swearing as a priest, Oliva summoned a bunch of certifications with a wave of his hand. Among them was Joshua's youngest son, Arno.
"I can attest that my father, Joshua, and the various Moabs did accept high bribes from the British yesterday. The British demanded that they sabotage our cooperation with our Russian friends......"
"You rebel!" Good guy, Joshua was like thunder at all, if it wasn't for someone in the way, he would have to rush up and tear Arno, only to see him scolding while jumping to his feet: "You rebel, I have long seen that you are not right." My compatriots and brothers, please believe me, this rebel made a big mistake yesterday and was kicked out of my house. That's why I collaborated with outsiders to slander and slander me! β
"Really?" Oliva smiled, "Joshua, I have to say that your level of lying is really high, and you don't repent at all in the Old Testament and my lord, you can't see the coffin without shedding tears!" Come on, take out the evidence and let him die! β
With Oliva's shout, several Jewish servants walked in with silver platters and a projector. Oliwa walked over to the silver platter. Put on a glove and take out the cheque and show it to all the members of the Jewish Council.
"Brothers. Please all look at it, this is the check that the British used to buy Joshua and his scum, with the signature and seal of the British governor...... For a million pounds they sold all our compatriots, hehe, really for a good price! β
When Joshua saw the check, his eyes went dark. Wasn't he obviously locked this check in the safe, how could he get it by Oliva? Is this the heavens going to kill me?
Seeing that Joshua was faltering, Moab stepped forward: "What does a check say? We've never seen this check, it's been forged by you to frame our father and son! β
"Moab, you are indeed a virtuous man with your father." Oliva put down the check and said with a smile: "You said that I framed you, which means that you have never seen or touched this check, right?" β
Moab replied, "Of course! β
Oliva nodded and said with a smile, "That's good," he said, pointing to a man who was walking in next to him, "This gentleman is a forensic expert from the local police station in Jerusalem, and he is particularly good at fingerprint identification." If your father and son hadn't touched this check, it wouldn't have your fingerprints on it, otherwise, you'd be lying! Now should we verify it on site? β
Oliva's smile was as terrible as the devil in the eyes of Joshua and Moab, the conscience of heaven and earth, it was the first time that their father and son had seen such a large amount of checks, and it was strange to see how Hunter Xinxi didn't appreciate it well, it was strange that there were no fingerprints on it.
For a moment, these two people were in a cold sweat, and they no longer had the upright style just now. But it was impossible to get them to give in just like that, for Joshua immediately said: "I refuse, because it is an insult to my character, and any true Jew knows the character of Joshua, and only those devils who are hostile to me and slander me will use such vile means to slander me." God can prove my innocence, and that's enough! β
Oliva laughed and said, "Joshua, your shameless appearance is still the same as before. I also know you don't dare, because I know very well what you did last night, and now all I need to do is make your compatriots see your face clearly! β
As soon as he finished speaking, the council hall went dark, and the scene of Joshua making a deal with the English last night reappeared in front of everyone. And it made Joshua's father and son look like ashes!
What a ridiculous scene, when Joshua received the money, the ugliest, meanest, and most shameless scene in the heart of the so-called high priest, the so-called most devout Jew bent on the welfare of the Jews, was completely exposed.
As the picture ended, there was a shouting and scolding in the venue, and the British doglegs led by Joshua were sprayed with saliva. But do you think this will wake them up and make them feel ashamed?
That was really wrong, the group of people were thick-skinned by the city walls, and Joshua flatly denied it: "It's a movie, it's faked, it's the same as a check." Compatriots, Oliva has always had sinister intentions, you must not be fooled! β
If it was in the past, it was really possible that someone would have been fooled, but today it is not possible, because a certain immortal played a live broadcast yesterday, and many Jews at the scene watched it for the second time, and they were able to prove the authenticity of the image.
"Shut your mouth, your ugliness really makes us sick, I wanted to execute you as a traitor yesterday, you don't deserve to talk here!"
The shouts and rebukes grew stronger, and the agitated members of the Jewish Council continued to gather around Joshua and his henchmen, many of whom were already rolling up their sleeves. Seeing that the situation was not good, the Joshua did not dare to distinguish anything, and they fled from the guild in a hurry with their heads like rats...... (To be continued.) )
