Chapter 33: The Wind Knows the Grass (5)

In such a dark night, Zhang Mingyuan didn't have to worry about being frightened when someone saw it, and used the longitudinal technique to climb over the building and cross the ridge across the city, and arrived outside the wall of Zhao Zhenhuan's security group in more than half an hour. Take a circle around the perimeter of the yard and listen to the movement inside, trying not to alarm the vigil. From far and near, the sound of horses' hooves could be heard, and some people shouted into the courtyard, and there were about twenty or thirty people by feeling. He looked up the roof facing the street, and sure enough, someone dismounted and went inside. Someone lit the horse lantern at the entrance of the hall, and it could be seen that Zhao Zhenhuan was the most vocal. Yu Banshan was holding his arm beside him, apparently injured. They were followed by embarrassed and disheveled subordinates, and several people hung up to varying degrees.

"Oops! Oops! Xue Liang, Xiaotong, go to the front street and call the doctor. Zhao Zhenhuan limped and walked with a loud cry in his mouth, "Oops! Grandma bears. Lao Tzu was swayed by the surname Zhou, and he went to the cellar to pull him over, and Lao Tzu flayed him alive today. ”

Two people next to him got on their horses and rushed out of the yard, probably to ask for a doctor. There were also people who promised to go to the left, but they were stopped by Yu Banshan waving his hand: "Slow, don't be in a hurry to do that, first fetch water for the head of the regiment to clean his face." When he was done, he lowered his voice again, "Don't be angry, let's go into the house to heal the wounds." Look at the black - the eldest brother hasn't come back yet, let's not make trouble, and complain if we don't get it right. ”

"This, well, let's treat the wound first. Ay! Zhao Zhenhuan sighed, "Damn, it's fucking unlucky!" What treasure is not fished, and the fate is so suspenseful. ”

"Yes, yes, what the head of the regiment said is that the little devil's family is powerful, we shouldn't be brutal." Yu Banshan helped Zhao Zhenhuan into the hall. Let him lie half-down on the couch, and tell the people next to him to take things. The injured hummed and undressed themselves, some looked for water, some looked for medicine, some stuck their heads out and waited for the doctor, and the people in the hall were making a lot of noise in and out.

Hearing Zhao Zhenhuan mention the surname Zhou and the cellar, Zhang Mingyuan could conclude that Zhou Yizhi was locked up in the cellar. So, he went down the west side of the hall and walked along the wall to the backyard. Subdue the two guards outside the backyard door, pinching their throats and asking for the exact location of the hostages' cellar, then knocking them unconscious and leaning against the door. I went up to the northeast corner of the house, went up to the kitchen room and looked down at the small alley behind, where four guards sat crookedly. He jumped down and knocked them unconscious, grabbed the guard's flashlight, and lifted the lid of the millstone-sized pot and went down from the cellar.

Zhou Yizhi didn't know that he had been locked up for nearly thirty hours, but he felt sleepy, hungry and sore, and this discomfort was no less than the torment of illness. The offender was dazed and felt the bright light dazzling, and looked at Zhang Mingyuan who jumped down. As if he saw a loved one, he immediately shouted "sir" excitedly, and his voice was choked. Gu Xinyi also shouted happily: "When you finally came, I know that you promised my father to take care of me, and you will definitely not break your word." I remembered everything, it was Ji Tang who changed my brocade box, I gave the key to Junsheng, and Cui Ying was Xi'er's husband ......"

"It's not good to stay here for a long time, let's go back and talk about it. Let you suffer, I'll see how Lao Cao goes. Zhang Mingyuan took out the dart and cut the rope of Zhou Yizhi and Gu Xinyi.

He shone a flashlight at Cao Ying, and it seemed that he was not lightly injured. After a few steps, he cut the rope while checking his pulse, and channeled some true qi into his body to penetrate the blood. Seeing that he woke up, he set him up and walked out of the cellar, and then came down to help Zhou Yizhi and Gu Xinyi up. After leaving the courtyard and turning the corner, Zhang Mingyuan found that Cao Ying's injury was very serious, and it could be said that he had no way to go by himself, so he asked the three of them to wait in the dark. He turned around and went back again, intending to get a few horses from Zhao Zhenhuan.

When entering the yard, go up to the roof to observe, and listen to the movement to determine the location of the stables. Suddenly, I saw Yu Banshan come out of the thatched house in the corner, walk a few steps towards the hall and turn around and walk towards the west cross courtyard. Zhang Mingyuan planned to go into the room with him, unexpectedly restrained him, asked for the specific location of the stable, and warned them not to harass Gu Xinyi again. Yu Banshan entered the door, first struck a match, lit the candle on the lamppost, and then squatted in front of the bar hanging in the middle hall (1). He took out the dagger from his bosom and carefully pried out two green bricks, took out a one-and-a-half-foot square wooden box from underneath, opened it and looked at the contents carefully. He took out an object from his underwear pocket and put it in, covered it and put it back in place. Zhang Ming is far away, and his back is just facing outward, so he can't see the contents of the box. When Yu Banshan stood up and cleaned up and walked out, and turned around to close the door, Zhang Mingyuan raised his hand to knock him unconscious, entered the house and took out his box again. It's really a treasure chest, pearls, agate, silver dollars, new fiat currency, almost full of chests. And Zhou Yizhi mentioned Gu Xinyi's seven-trick exquisite brocade box a few times, and the key was contained in the black bag next to it. He didn't ask for anything else, so he took the brocade box and the key and left Yu Banshan's room.

When he came out of the west courtyard, he listened carefully to where there were horses, and suddenly he heard a man coming back at the gate of the courtyard, some on horseback and some on foot. He jumped up to the roof again to see about forty disfigured-looking soldiers panting and shouting into the hall, two horses tied to the stakes inside the gate. Zhang Mingyuan thought that two horses would be enough, so as not to alarm more people to chase when he looked for it again. So, he landed at the gate, knocked down the two guards, and then carefully led the horse. went out to find three people, he helped Cao Ying together, and let Zhou Yizhi and Gu Xinyi share a horse.

It was about two or three miles away from Tangyi, and Zhang Mingyuan saw that no one was chasing after him, so he slowed down. The two horses walked side by side, and he took out the brocade box and the key and handed them to Gu Xinyi. She thanked him and didn't stretch out her hand to take it, but looked at Cao Ying and said, "Uncle Cao, although this box is good, it is a burden in my hand, so I'd better return it to you." ”

"Miss Xinyi, I also know that this box has caused you a lot of trouble, but things will pass. I'm old, I don't have the opportunity or strength to develop locks, if you have the opportunity to meet someone who knows how to do it in the future, just transfer this technology to carry it forward. Cao Ying said lightly.

"Lao Cao is right, the technology in the future will be very developed, even if you can't sell it as an antique, you can apply for an invention patent." Zhang Mingyuan also looked at her with a smile.

"Mr. Zhang, since you understand, give it to you." Gu Xinyi still didn't answer.

"Hehe, it's even more inconvenient for me to run around all day." Zhang Mingyuan hesitated, "What is in it?" Look, they're all trying their best to get their hands on it. ”

"Alas, it was originally an important letter to me, and some poems. If he doesn't think he's gone, they'll be like waste paper. She said that she thought of Fan Junsheng, and not only lowered her head.

"Miss Xiaoyi, you said that he is Fan Junsheng, right? According to my husband, we assume that he is probably dead, probably killed in a room in our store. Zhou Yizhi saw that she spoke clearly and clearly, and she should be awake.

"Now it can be determined that it is him, today Zhao Goudan said the place where the body was buried." Zhang Mingyuan said lightly.

"Then he's so pitiful! Mr. Zhang, I have already remembered the past in the cellar, please make the decision for us, and give justice to Junsheng. Gu Xinyi looked at Zhang Mingyuan seriously, believing that he promised to take care of her on his father's deathbed and would not break his promise.

"Yes, Ji Tang must be made to pay for the mistakes they made." Zhou Yizhi also echoed.

"Okay, okay, I'll do my best. You put the box away first, you can't let me keep holding it, right? Zhang Mingyuan said and handed over the box and key, and when she caught it, he said lightly, "You tell what you can remember, let's analyze it." Also, since I am in charge, don't be a gentleman before and after, just treat me as one of your brothers, okay? ”

"I can't ask for it, thank you big brother first." Gu Xinyi said with a shallow smile on her face, "Let me start from the beginning, in fact, my good sister Xi'er is also interested in this box......

As she walked, Gu Xinyi told them everything she remembered in the cellar. Zhou Yizhi also talked about what he saw, and analyzed how to make these people subjugate while walking with Zhang Mingyuan. Cao Ying thinks that all her suffering is inseparable from the box, that is, he has affected her in disguise, and hopes that she can find a good home after the matter is over. Zhang Mingyuan also told them about the discovery of Zhao Goudan's stalking, and Zhou Yizhi felt that he could sue Ji Tang and Black Friday for murder, and he couldn't let Zhao Zhenhuan and Yu Banshan go. Because the news of the kidnapping of the three people has already spread, an explanation must be sought. It is best for them to decide to go to the county party headquarters the next day to find Dong Hua to complain, and it is best to call Liu Tonghai and Watanabe Shizuichi to have a certain impact on this matter.

At night, the Japanese army was heavily guarded, and there was no way to ride into the city. Zhang Mingyuan carried them one by one across the west city wall into the city, and it was already the middle of the night when they returned. One was that one night, I was also worried that the Gu family was not safe, so I didn't send Gu Xinyi home and arranged for her to live in Zhang Mingyuan's room. He rested in the same room with Cao Ying, and by the way, he healed Cao Ying's luck.

After dawn, Gu Xinyi insisted on going home, saying that today was the third day of her parents' reunion (2), and she had to go to the grave to burn paper. Zhou Yizhi was worried about her, and wanted to accompany her, but Xing Hongying and Lu Jiaxun were all there, although they didn't say anything, they were also paying attention to him. Thinking about it again, there are not many things to deal with in the past few days, especially the accounts between Ji Tang and Ji Tang have to be sorted out immediately, so I asked Xu Xudong to take Alai and Ali to drive with her.

While eating breakfast, Lu Jiaxun winked at Zhang Mingyuan, and said with some interest that he heard that a boat had sunk in the canal in the south, and he heard the sound of firecrackers last night. Zhang Mingyuan smiled and did not speak, knowing that it was they who successfully intercepted the Japanese ship last night. Lu Jiaxun asked Zhou Yizhi what the situation was, whether he was kidnapped by bandits. Zhou Yizhi glanced at Xing Hongying and Xu Hu who were sitting next to him, and considered whether it was appropriate to tell the truth. At this time, Huang Zhenkun came in through the door, with a thick bandage wrapped around his shoulders, and his face looked very tired. Zhou Yizhi and Zhang Mingyuan stood up and asked him what was wrong, he said that he met an acquaintance who was drinking and greedy for a glass last night, and when he came back, he fell and injured himself and went to the hospital to bandage it. They comforted him and asked him to sit down and call the fourth sister-in-law to add dishes and chopsticks porridge, Zhou Yizhi noticed that Xing Hongying pretended to eat indifferently, but in fact looked at him from the corner of his eye, and even the small spoon that did not scoop the porridge was empty and sent it to his mouth. Zhou Yizhi deliberately raised his voice to tell everyone about the kidnapping, and said that he would go to the company to arrange it first and then go to the county party headquarters to report the case, not only to help his neighbor Gu Xinyi ask for an explanation, but also to get justice for him and Cao Yingyi's crimes. Huang Zhenkun said that he needed to recuperate, but he could contact his friends in Nanjing to put pressure on Dong Hua. Xing Hongying and Lu Jiaxun said that they would accompany them, and Zhang Mingyuan agreed.

A few people went to the company first after dinner, and as soon as they walked to Loudong Street, they found that there were more soldiers on the street, including puppet soldiers, police, and Japanese soldiers. Xu Hu knew that Lin Pu's deputy was among them, so he ran over to inquire. came back and told a few people that it turned out that an assassin assassinated Commissioner Ma Liang last night, and Kimura Hirokawa was injured for it. Therefore, a brigade of Japanese troops was transferred from Jining overnight, and the four cities were blocked, and the police and puppet troops were strictly ordered to assist the gendarmerie in the search. The first round is the main streets and hotels, and the second round is the merchants, and if it is not effective, it will be expanded to a radius of ten miles. The officers and checkpoints in the search of the city all sent out the portraits of the Assassin leaders in the morning, with no name, age, or address. Xu Hu saw two clear images, the woman was a beautiful woman with her hair in a high bun, and the man was short haired and wearing a long gown with big eyes, and interestingly, his face was covered. Zhou Yizhi glanced at Lu Jiaxun and guessed that he was still wearing a long shirt when he participated in the hijacking, but fortunately he didn't show his face.

Dong Hua listened to Zhou Yizhi's narration and kept telling Ji Tang, looking a little surprised. After coughing dryly, he lowered his voice and asked him if he wanted to think about it again, first, everyone was friends before, and secondly, Zhou Ying, who is currently at the helm of the Ministry of Finance of the Nanjing Government, but Ji Tang's second uncle, there must be someone above to intervene when the matter is big. He insisted on suing without even thinking about it, and he had to sue. Zhang Mingyuan also said that it is not a pity to die like this kind of Sven scum, but it must be judged and brought to justice in an open and honest manner, so as to play the role of punishing evil and promoting good. Dong Hua smiled awkwardly, but he complained again and again in his heart. He had seen Zhang Mingyuan's methods against the Japanese military police, and he understood that Zhou Ying's kind of bureaucracy could not be provoked. But the matter was forced to be so unbearable that it could not be done, so I had to send someone to the police station diagonally opposite to call Linmp. Case filing and investigation is an indispensable procedure, and if Lou Zi is stabbed, many people will carry the black pot.

At this time, Lin Pu was in charge of the arrest of the assassins, and was called to the county magistrate's office. When I heard that Zhou Yizhi was going to sue Ji Tang, I instantly felt a tingling on my scalp. In fact, he also had private dealings with Ji Tang, and no matter how big or small the matter was, it was also collusion between officials and businessmen. Intentionally perfunctory, he also noticed that Zhang Mingyuan was beside him, and it was said that he could not buy the officers in Chongqing, but in the Gu family, he was timid when he saw the Japanese in his own eyes, not to mention that he was a county-level director. At this time, Xu Hu took Liu Tonghai and Watanabe Shizuichi into the house, and they also expressed great concern about Zhou Yizhi's affairs. Zhou Yizhi carefully explained the process of Gu Xinyi and the three of them being kidnapped, and clearly said that it was for the Seven Tricks Exquisite Brocade Box. Zhang Mingyuan and Cao Ying testified and explained that Ji Tang sent people to follow him, as well as the place where Ji Tang's master and servant killed Fan Junsheng and hid his body.

At that moment, Lin Pu returned to the bureau to issue a summons first, and then personally led people to the canal to dig up the body.

In the evening, Zhao Zhenhuan and Yu Banshan came to the police station, and Ji Tang had already arrived. Limp grimaced in the middle of the large table in the interrogation room, flanked by the clerk and deputy. On the two benches on the side sat Zhou Yizhi, Xing Hongying, Zhang Mingyuan, Liu Tonghai, Watanabe Shizuichi, Dong Hua, Cao Ying, and Gu Xinyi. Zhao Zhenhuan was a little impatient when he heard Lin Pu's tone like an interrogation, he never took Lin Pu, the director, seriously, because the people next to him had two misunderstandings, and turned his head to let Yu Banshan explain well. Yu Banshan immediately changed to a smile and bowed his hand to Lin Pu, and then to a few people next to him, and then said that the kidnapping was a treat. He and Zhao Zhenhuan were innocent, and their original intention was to invite Zhou Yizhi and Cao Ying to Tangyi for dinner. It's the people below who will be mistaken, and as for catching a few female dependents, it's completely those boys who are greedy. They had already executed several of the parties in the morning, and for this reason, an adjutant had turned his face with Zhao Zhenhuan and injured him, and the adjutant was tied up outside the door. Regarding Zhou Yizhi's lynching in the cellar, Yu Banshan didn't seem to have happened at all, saying that he and Zhao Zhenhuan bought fake goods at the temple fair and went to Qufu to change them yesterday and came back this morning. What kind of torture, seven tricks exquisite brocade box, I have never heard of it at all. Zhou Yizhi couldn't sit still, and went over to point at Yu Banshan's nose, saying that Black Friday killed two women in front of a few people in the cellar. Yu Banshan directly spread his hands, and they didn't know about Black Friday. Gu Xinyi also said about the brocade box, Yu Banshan shook his head like a wave drum, denied everything, and asked them to come up with evidence, as long as there is evidence, they are willing to accept the investigation at any time. Zhao Zhenhuan could see that Zhou Yizhi and Gu Xinyi were still unrelenting, so he called the attendants outside to bring the adjutant in. The man was covered in blood and was still tied up by Wuhuada, and when he entered the house, he knelt down and admitted that everything was done by him, and was shot and killed by Zhao Zhenhuan just after speaking.

When it was Ji Tang's turn, he played even more desperately, pushing everything on Black Friday, he didn't know anything. The report of Black Friday like a bitter lord is actually Liu Heizi, a bandit who holds calves in Sendai Mountain, who has been hiding in his house for many years, and it is only in these two days that he realizes that something is wrong. After speaking, he actually came to Zhou Yizhi and knelt down, and said with tears in his eyes: "Brother Xian must have misunderstood the younger brother, the younger brother is even afraid of cockroaches and rats on weekdays, how can he have the courage to kill?" Brother Xian, you have to believe the little brother, this must be done by the thief of Black Friday. ”

"Don't believe him! This person is bright and dark! My brocade box is what he dropped! Gu Xinyi stood up and pointed at Ji Tang and scolded sharply.

"Xinyi, we are also husband and wife, you don't dare to make a mess at this time!" Ji Tang's expression became more and more innocent, and he bowed his hand to the others again and again, "Brother Xian, Mr. Watanabe, Commissioner Lord, Chief Zhang, County Magistrate, do you have to believe Ji Tang!" Xinyi her, her, everyone knows that her brain has always been bad. I am very respectful to all of you, to the work of the maintenance association, and to the old folks! ”

"Hey! Ji Tang, you are not allowed to disturb the order here. Lin Pu stood up and put up the director's shelf, "You can go back first, butβ€”for the time being, you are not allowed to leave the Liaocheng territory." Once the evidence is confirmed, you will be summoned at any time. In fact, this is also the result of his hope, so he asked Zhao Zhenhuan and Yu Banshan first. Now Ji Tang really threw the matter on Hei Wu, so he took the opportunity to let him leave.

"Yes, yes, thank you Director Lin for being insightful." Ji Tang said as he got up and patted the dust on his robe, and still arched his hands to everyone frequently as he stepped back, "Brother Xian, everyone, you must believe that Ji Tang is innocent." Everyone, Ji Tang will go first, see you later. He retreated to the door of the summons room, turned around and hurried out of the police station.

After Ji Tang left, Zhao Zhenhuan and Yu Banshan also left. Limp announced the end of the interrogation, saying that the main parties had not yet arrived and that there was a lack of substantive evidence. He will do further investigations and make a list of arrests for Black Friday, and will notify everyone if there is any progress. A discerning person is fooling around at first glance, how can he hear the defendant shirk and declare it over? Neither detained nor searched, what a ridiculous trial this is, Zhou Yizhi scolded as soon as he came out of the police station.

Zhou Yizhi was not in the mood to eat at dinner, Xing Hongying couldn't persuade her, so she had to let the fourth sister-in-law take it to the room to eat by herself, and the others almost never touched the chopsticks. Zhang Mingyuan saw that the time was still early, and he said that he would go out for a walk, and Zhou Yizhi, Gu Xinyi, Lu Jiaxun, and Cao Ying also went out. Seeing that there was no one on the street at the mouth of the alley, Zhou Yizhi walked in front of Zhang Mingyuan in a few steps and begged him to get rid of Zhao Zhenhuan, Yu Banshan, Ji Tang and others, just like killing the murderous Japanese military police at Gu's house. Who knew that Zhang Mingyuan just shook his head lightly, bypassed him and continued to move forward. Gu Xinyi and Lu Jiaxun looked at him sympathetically and continued to follow. Cao Ying patted him lightly on the shoulder and said that Zhang Mingyuan would not lynch those people. In his view, cunning crimes are not the same as those of the most vicious aggressors, and although such human behavior is hateful, it must be punished clearly in order to have a deterrent effect on similar crimes.

After walking for a while, several people began to analyze the matter. Lu Jiaxun thinks that when the chance of Lin Pu solving the case is zero, he should take the initiative. Zhou Yizhi sighed and looked up at the moonlight shining through the thin clouds, saying that Zhang Mingyuan had to take action in this matter, and the main breakthrough in the case was on Black Friday. If they catch them alive before them and let them confront them face to face, they will definitely have nothing to hide. Cao Ying said that there is another breakthrough point, that is, to provoke the contradiction between Zhao Zhenhuan and Japan, and the dog eats the dog. Lu Jiaxun also agreed with this, believing that Zhao Zhenhuan's participation in the interception of the cultural relics ship could be revealed. Zhang Mingyuan didn't express his opinion in front, he was thinking about Dai Lin's matter. If she doesn't kill Ma Liang, her task will not be over, and now that the devil is closed down the city, she has to search for her from house to house according to the portrait, do you want to help her sneak out of the city first. He originally went out for a walk just to go to the courtyard to meet her, but it was inconvenient for these people to follow.

Gu Xinyi was worried about Zhou Yizhi, and also wanted to get justice for poor Fan Junsheng. If Ji Tang and Black Five can subdue the law, it will be an end to her and Fan Junsheng's past. After this matter is over, she and Zhou Yizhi's future can be considered. Thinking about it, I couldn't help but turn my heart sideways, took a few steps and knelt behind Zhang Mingyuan, claiming that "Mr. Wang is in charge." ”

"Miss Gu, what are you doing here? Get up. Zhang Mingyuan stretched out his hand and pulled her up, thinking that he was helping her and Zhou Yizhi. In fact, he also thought about it, and planned to wait for Ji Tang's matter to be over, and then help subdue Huang Zhenkun, and entrust her to Zhou Yizhi before leaving. Since she asked for it, she had to do it first, so she coughed dryly and looked at Zhou Yizhi and said, "Yizhi, look at this matter." In this way, I already think that Miss Gu is a sister, and now I promise you to be a flat wife, okay? ”

Before Zhou Yizhi could speak, Lu Jiaxun was unhappy: "Hey, hey, I said that this is your Chief Zhang's mistake." Mr. Gu entrusted the child to you on his deathbed, where are you doing? What should I do with the silver ring? She's got a big belly! ”

"Big brother, little sister doesn't mean that, how dare little sister climb Mr. Zhou with this stump body." Gu Xinyi also felt a little unbearable, although she felt good about Zhou Yizhi, she didn't want to embarrass him, not to mention that she was still guarding her filial piety, "I begged the eldest brother to find out the Black Friday and let Ji Tang and them subdue to the law." In that way, it was a comfort to Mr. Zhou, Uncle Cao, and Fan Junsheng. As for the future of the little sister, she can follow the eldest brother to be a laundry and cooking girl, and it is not impossible to stay in the garden for the rest of her life. ”

"No, please don't say that, Miss Xiaoyi. I will definitely take care of you, even if Mr. doesn't say it today, I will still ask him to make decisions for us when I am done with these things. Zhou Yizhi came to her side, wanted to take her hand, but didn't dare. After speaking, he hesitated and turned to look at Lu Jiaxun, "Jiaxun, don't interfere in this matter, I will communicate with Yinhuan well." ”

"What's the ditch? You're just thinking differently! Do you think Daddy and Big Brother will accept your ridiculous demands? Lu Jiaxun glared at Zhou Yizhi fiercely, took two steps to the side, and turned his head not to look at him.

"This is my affair with Yinhuan, and it is our Zhou family's affair." Of course, Zhou Yizhi knew that the people of the Lu family would not agree, but he was already determined to be good to Gu Xinyi, and he would beg Lu Jiayu for her.

"Don't you make a noise, okay? I said I don't want to marry, I can take care of myself. Gu Xinyi turned her face to the side.

"Okay, okay, let this matter go first, and there will always be a perfect solution. Xinyi, don't think too much, there is a solution to everything. Zhang Mingyuan felt a little embarrassed, and waved his hand to Cao Ying, "You accompany Xinyi to go back first, and live in my room."

Cao Ying promised to come to see Gu Xinyi, she made a blessing to Zhang Mingyuan and turned to leave.

After they left, the three of them were silent for a while before Zhang Mingyuan spoke. It was proposed that Zhou Yizhi and his wife take Huang Zhenkun to visit Kimura Hongchuan tomorrow, and deliberately mentioned Zhao Zhenhuan's injury last night in the hospital. Lu Jiaxun said that he should guard against Huang Zhenkun, who was also injured last night. Besides, Black Friday, if Ji Tang deliberately let him hide, it would be difficult to find him half the time. After chatting for a while, Zhang Mingyuan asked them to walk slowly, he was going to run errands, and he might go to Tangyi after he was done.

Kimura Hirokawa's injuries were not light, the slightest injury on his left arm was nine stitches, and he received thirty-four stitches on his lower back. After the big tendon of the right foot was broken and soaked in water, the wound was infected and there was too much blood loss, and the doctor said that it would be too late to be saved. Although his life could be saved, his right leg was useless after recovery. When he was bored in bed after dark, Ji Tang came to visit and took a lot of supplements. From the moment he entered the ward, he asked this and that enthusiastically, making Kimura Hirokawa feel the same care as his family. Because when he woke up, he heard the news from headquarters, and he was dismissed from his post for a failure, and he was even more annoyed when he remembered the wounds on the ship.

Ji Tang first chatted for a while before cutting to the topic: "In the land of Liaocheng projectiles, how dare the locals fight Taijun's idea?" ”

"Oh? What news did Ji Tangsang receive? ”

"There's no rumor, it's justβ€”doesn't Osa think that guy who is very serious about the gendarme brother is the most suspicious?"

"Oh - Mr. Zhang Mingyuan that Ji Tangsang refers to? This is impossible, Mr. Watanabe drank with him until midnight last night. ”

"This kind of thing doesn't have to be done by him, right? He is a general in Chongqing, will he come to Liaocheng single-handedly? Besides, do you really believe that he is in the tea business? ”

"That makes sense, this person-" Kimura Hirokawa's face twisted, and he didn't know if it was because the wound hurt or if there was something else, "Please don't talk nonsense if you don't have evidence, Mr. Watanabe said that it's not time to talk to him-"

"Mr. Watanabe is old, and it's inevitable that people will get oldβ€”" Ji Tang interrupted Kimura Hirokawa's words, and suddenly noticed that his eyes showed dissatisfaction, and immediately changed his words. "I mean ginger is still old and spicy, and of course Mr. Watanabe can't be wrong. It's just that you are too merciful and will be deceived by him, and this person is very good at winning people's hearts. ”

"Ji Tangsang, we are all our own people, you have an idea and say it directly."

"My idea is actually for everyone. Dazuo, you see, the surname Zhang is the enemy, right? Whether he did it himself or not, he will fight to the death in the future. He lives with the surname Zhou, and the relationship is not ordinary, which is also a fact, right? If there is a gang of bandits robbing, go to their house and kill a chicken and dog. Dazuo breathed this breath, and the big trouble in his heart was gone, and he could take over as the deputy director of the grain company in the future, and the food supply of the imperial army would naturally not be worried in the future. ”

"Since it's my own person, I'm not satisfied with Ji Tangsang. Even if Mr. Zhou is really surprised, the Zhou family's industry will not be able to turn Ji Tangsang. ”

Ji Tang's heart was mostly cold when he heard this, and he understood that the Japanese had long been thinking about Zhou Yizhi's belongings. After thinking about it, as long as Zhou Yizhi and Zhang Mingyuan were eliminated, the Gu family's things would still belong to him, and he smiled awkwardly and said: "I don't covet the Zhou family's property, as long as I get back the investment part, I will be lucky." It's just that these two people stay in the world, maybe one day it will cause even more trouble. ”

"I've already said this, Mr. Watanabe said that it's not the right time, who dares to make his own decisions? Besides, I'm on a temporary job now, and I don't have any weight to speak. ”

"This is only temporary, and Dazuo's future will definitely not stop there. I believe that when the injury is healed, it will inevitably be reused by the peak. It's just that this hurts his muscles and bones for a hundred ......" Ji Tang knew that it was useless to say more, so he comforted Kimura Hongchuan with a change of words, and didn't leave until it was late when he was about to rest.
