Chapter 198 [Helpless] (II)
Zhou Wenhu nodded, and briefly reported the distribution of the general's salary.
Ma Yongping said: "I don't have to worry about you doing things." At this point, he is more democratic than Yan Tuojiang, he understands that it is the local delegation of power, and he knows how to let the people around him take on more things, and only in this way will they feel like the protagonist, will they taste the benefits of power, and will let them unite more closely around themselves.
Zhou Wenhu said: "General, Nanyang Street is cleaned up according to your instructions, as long as it is suspected of being infected, we will remove all of them, and we are currently conducting a third search, I believe there will be no more trouble." β
"How's the situation at Simon?"
Zhou Wenhu said: "The same method, because there are not many people on the West Gate, is more thorough." β
Ma Yongping breathed a long sigh of relief, feeling a little lighter, he regretted a little, he shouldn't have detained any coffin in the first place, that thing was unlucky after all, after the accident in Heishui Temple, he shouldn't have brought the infected back to the city, after the spread of the disease, if he took the opportunity to eradicate all the infected people, he would not have paid such a big price, and a good Nanyang Street would be ruined. You must know that before the accident, Nanyang Street was the most prosperous place in the entire Xinmanying.
Ma Yongping said: "Don't take it lightly, you help me carefully investigate, how many people participated in the operation of Heishui Temple that day, all of them were isolated." β
Zhou Wenhu nodded, and suddenly remembered one more thing: "General, a team we sent out to hunt down Yan Tianxin has disappeared mysteriously, and the leader is Fang Pingzhi." β
Ma Yongping shook his head, in fact, he had heard Tan Zicong talk about the old camp before, he didn't want to spend too much energy on this matter, even if the old camp also had an infection incident, so what? At present, he must first ensure the safety of the city, and only after ensuring that all the hidden dangers of the new camp are cleared, can he think about how to go next. After thinking about it in his heart, he said: "We must be cautious about things in the city, and no one will be allowed to enter or leave the Xinman camp until all the suspected infected people are cleared." β
Although Zhou Wenhu didn't say it, he thought that Ma Yongping was too cautious this time, and he said cautiously: "In fact, it is not necessary to get rid of all suspicious people, after all, most of them are only suspected of being infected, it is better to isolate them first, if they are isolated for a period of time and do not go crazy, you can eliminate the danger." β
"How long? Do you know exactly what's going on?" Ma Yongping asked sharply.
Zhou Wenhu was silent, shocked by Ma Yongping's sudden outburst of anger, and some of the words he wanted to say had reached his lips and were swallowed back by him.
After Ma Yongping's brief outburst, he quickly realized that his attitude towards this old friend should not be so tough, and he sighed and said: "I don't have to use extraordinary methods in extraordinary times, Brother Wenhu, I also have to do it as a last resort." β
Zhou Wenhu nodded, and was about to retire, but saw Ma Yongping's guard officer hurriedly walk in from outside and report that a Japanese guest had come to visit.
Ma Yongping and Zhou Wenhu were surprised, there were very few foreigners coming here in Xinmanying, let alone the Japanese, because Yan Tuojiang was extremely xenophobic when he was in power, and all foreigners who entered Xinmanying were closely checked, and seven years ago, because a group of Russians tried to enter the tomb of the ancient emperor of Xixia to rob the tomb, they were discovered before they dug the tomb road, Yan Tuojiang was furious, and ordered the secret execution of six foreign tomb robbers and ten locally hired guide laborersγ
In the past two days, the whole city has been under curfew, and all personnel are forbidden to enter or leave the city gates, but under such strict martial law conditions, there are still Japanese people who come to visit, and I don't know how he entered the Xinman camp? Zhou Wenhu is currently in full charge of the martial law in the Xinman camp, and Ma Yongping naturally looked at Zhou Wenhu with a little more questioning in his eyes.
Zhou Wenhu hurriedly explained: "Maybe he has already been in the new camp. In fact, he knew in his heart that even if this Japanese had already come to Xinmanying, he would not be able to escape the responsibility of lax auditing. According to the old rules of the new Manchurian camp, any foreigner entering the city must report it immediately.
Fortunately, Ma Yongping didn't mean to be held accountable, nodded and said, "Let him in." Unlike Yan Tuojiang, Ma Yongping never regarded foreigners as beasts, although he also witnessed the humiliation of Chinese people by foreign powers in recent years, but he always thought that this was not to blame others, but only to blame himself for being too weak.
Ma Yongping also once considered what he should do after replacing Yan Tuojiang, he will never be as self-closed as Yan Tuojiang, and will use his mind and knowledge to grasp the pulse of the times, including learning advanced foreign science and technology.
The Japanese who came to visit Ma Yongping was named Tadanobu Fujino, about thirty years old, with a burly figure that is not common to Japanese, short hair and thick eyebrows, big ears, walking in a tiger style, and the whole person had a momentum of not being angry and arrogant.
Under the leadership of the guard officer, he came to Ma Yongping, carrying a black suitcase in his left hand, and stretched out his right hand to Ma Yongping, and greeted with an expressionless face: "Hello General Ma, I am loyal in Shimofuno." β
Ma Yongping noticed that Fujino Tadanobu's right hand was wearing gloves, although the white gloves were dusty, but he was still reluctant to take them off when shaking hands with others, which was obviously disrespectful, Ma Yongping was displeased, he was not disgusted with the Japanese does not mean that he was a Japanese flatterer, and glanced at Fujino Tadanobu, and did not stretch out his hand, to let this guy touch a nail that is not soft or hard.
"Mr. Fujino's first time in China?" Ma Yongping's question was not friendly.
Fujino Tadanobu's outstretched hand was still hanging in the air, and he said calmly: "I heard that China is a country of etiquette, but now it seems that it is nothing more than that. β
Zhou Wenhu said angrily: "Bold! Do you know what kind of place this is?" His hand fell on the holster at his waist, and he gestured to draw the gun.
Fujino Tadanobu glanced at him contemptuously and said, "It doesn't matter where you are, what matters is what kind of group of people you are facing. β
Ma Yongping quietly gave Zhou Wenhu a look, in the face of such an arrogant guy, it is necessary to give him a dismissal, let him know his situation, what about the Japanese? As long as he provokes himself, it is not easy to make him disappear in Xinmanying.
Zhou Wenhu immediately understood what Ma Yongping meant, quickly pulled out the pistol, pointed the muzzle of the gun at Fujino Tadanobu, and roared: "Aren't you afraid of death?"
Fujino Tadanobu stared at Zhou Wenhu with both eyes, he didn't speak, but Zhou Wenhu felt as if his heart was being grasped by an invisible big hand, and this big hand squeezed hard, squeezing out all the blood in his inner chamber in a short period of time. In an instant, Zhou Wenhu's whole body lost his strength, his hands were so weak that he couldn't even hold the pistol, and when he fell to the ground with a bang, he was dizzy and fell to the ground softly.
The guard officer hurriedly supported him, and at the same time began to call for help, the guards who heard the cry for help rushed in from outside, more than a dozen people surrounded Fujino Tadanobu in the center in a semicircle, and the muzzles of more than a dozen black caves were aimed at him at the same time, as long as Ma Yongping gave an order, they would not hesitate to turn this Japanese into a hornet's nest.
A disdainful smile appeared at the corner of Fujino's lips: "This is the hospitality of you Chinese?" General Ma, if I want to be unfavorable to you, these people can't stop me at all." β
Ma Yongping heard the sound of a knife at this time, and then saw that the head of the guard on the far right was completely broken, neatly like a knife, and blood spurted out of the broken cavity like a spring. The human head grunted and rolled all the way to Ma Yongping's feet, and to everyone's shock, Fujino Tadanobu did not make a move during the whole process.
Ma Yongping's heart sank, after witnessing Zhou Wenhu's inexplicable trick and seeing one of his subordinates lose his head in a daze, Ma Yongping even doubted that this Japanese would know witchcraft.
Fujino said faithfully: "General Ma, don't get me wrong, I have no malicious intent, if it weren't for you to make the first move, I wouldn't have used this method to prove myself." β
Ma Yongping couldn't help but feel a little frightened when he looked at the head under his feet, Fujino Tadanobu didn't lie, just with his exposed hands just now, his pus-filled subordinates really couldn't stop him. Ma Yongping pretended to be calm and said, "What are you looking for me?"
Fujino Tadano: "Cooperation!"
If Fujino Tadanobu said this sentence when they first met, he would definitely be laughed at by Ma Yongping, but now Ma Yongping has to pay attention to it, since it is cooperation, then it means that it is a friend rather than an enemy.
Fujino Tadashi said: "Something has happened in the Xinman camp in the past two days, and General Ma has been trying to block the news. β
Ma Yongping couldn't help but be alert again: "We don't need outsiders to ask about our family affairs. β
Fujino Tadashi said: "Paper can't contain the fire, I'm afraid these subordinates don't know what really happened, right?"
"Bold!" Ma Yongping roared.
Fujino Tadanobu was not intimidated by his voice, but his gloomy gaze made Ma Yongping's heart tremble, this Japanese man had an indescribable evil aura in his body.
Fujino said faithfully: "Is General Ma willing to say a few words to me alone?"
Ma Yongping hesitated, but finally nodded, he waved his hand, signaling everyone to go out, Zhou Wenhu, who had just been helped up from the ground, persuaded weakly: "General......"
Ma Yongping said: "Stand down!" Although he was scared from the bottom of his heart, he couldn't be too timid in front of so many subordinates, and besides, he was also deeply curious about why Fujino Tadanobu was looking for him to cooperate, and his intuition told him that Fujino Tadanobu should not be unfavorable to him.
Ma Yongping's feeling did not deviate, after everyone left, Fujino Tadanobu came to Ma Yongping's side and sat down on the Taishi chair, and said straight to the point: "The general shelled the West Gate and Nanyang Street, whether it was the people or the livestock inside, the means were ruthless enough. β
