Chapter 368
Zhu Yuyan did not have time to visit Mrs. Shao until the third day, and surprisingly, she was in very good spirits.
Nowadays, food is not so easy to get, but now the Japanese are in charge, so the supply of the Japanese hospital is not bad, and the hospital also has a piece of land to grow vegetables and raise chickens and goats, so the patients eat much more than the people on the street.
Mrs. Shao these days in addition to sleep is to eat, Zhu Yuyan went to bring two boxes of Western-style snacks, she just woke up and opened a box to eat up, to Zhu Yuyan farewell when a box are almost finished.
But to say that she can taste what delicious is not like, she ate is expressionless, like hard to the stomach.
Zhu Yuyan expected to meet a crying woman, thought of a bellyful of comforting words, but did not expect the patient was quite calm, the words are dry.
Zhu Yuyan: “The child’s matter …… you have to be open-minded.”
Mrs. Shao: “It’s okay, it’s better to drop, I also save a heart.”
Zhu Yuyan: “……”
Zhu Yuyan: “How is the situation at home now? If you need my help, just tell me.”
Mrs. Shao: “Lend me two hundred dollars, in US dollars! I’ll rent a new house when I’m discharged from the hospital, and I won’t go back to the old one.”
Zhu Yuyan: “…… “Fortunately she did prepare to give her a little money, two hundred dollars was more than expected, but it was acceptable.
Zhu Yu Yan pulls out her wallet and counts out two hundred dollars and gives it to her.
Zhu Yuyan: “Any plans for the future?”
Mrs. Shao looked at her with a complicated look, first rolled the money into a tube and stuffed it into her clothes, hiding it carefully.
Mrs. Shao: “I’ve figured out that women can’t rely on men. When I get out, I’ll try to find a job and make a small living, so I won’t starve to death.”
Half a lifetime of hard work is empty, Mrs. Shao does not understand to understand. She felt that she had no luck with men, and the men she found were not good, all of them made her more unlucky, and this kind of life in the old saying should be the fate of a lonely old man, and now the children are gone, so it is right to see. I’m not going to be able to do that, but I’m going to be able to do that, and I’m not going to be able to do that.
Zhu Yuyan waved goodbye to Mrs. Shao, and after leaving the hospital, she realized why she thought Mrs. Shao had changed. In the past, Mrs. Shao is delicate, today’s Mrs. Shao inexplicably less of a woman’s flavor, became hard and fast, she no longer to the people will be pampered.
She thought that this should not see Mrs. Shao, unexpectedly, Mrs. Shao from the hospital out of the Mrs. Shao to find her, please introduce her to work.
Zhu Yuyan: “Where do you want to work?”
Mrs. Shao: “I want to work for the Japanese. I’ve heard that the Japanese are also looking for Chinese maids. I’m not yet forty years old, so I can still work as a maidservant. I’m not forty years old yet, so I can still work as a maid. Nowadays, no place is as safe as a Japanese home. Mrs. Su, you know a lot of Japanese people, introduce me.”
Zhu Yuyan did know a lot of Japanese people, so she introduced her a few times. As a result, Mrs. Shao turned out to be Mr. Sakai’s maid.
Mr. Sakai has been living alone, now gradually also some physical strength, Mrs. Shao’s Japanese is with the Japanese ronin to learn, Mr. Sakai listen to feel very close, the two chatted, and even hate to see each other, and immediately Mrs. Shao led back.
Mrs. Shao in Sakai teacher’s home is also doing Chinese dress, her small dishes, small noodles do very well, but also do some wine food, bad fish and bad shrimp will do, do quite authentic, Sakai teacher likes to drink a little wine in the evening, the two women to drink, talk about their own past, the days are extraordinarily pleasant.
Because of Mrs. Shao, Zhu Yuyan’s relationship with Mr. Sakai became a little closer. Under the pretext of visiting Mrs. Shao, she went to the university a few times, secretly observing the situation in the school, and found that it was not optimistic.
She came back and said to Su Chunjun, “The Japanese are really trying to recruit soldiers in the university.”
The university was originally attended by military officers, and at that time it was all KMT officers who came to further their education, studying foreign languages and international relations. When the university was withdrawn, of course the KMT officers were long gone.
The people who live in that place now are Japanese officers who also come to study, but to study Chinese culture.
Chinese language, Chinese dialect, Chinese history, and so on.
There were not only Japanese teachers in the school, but also a number of Chinese teachers.
At that time, the school withdrew, part of the teachers did not leave, and now the school reopened, there are many people go back to ask if they can hire them again, the results of the Japanese not only all accepted, but also in the newspaper advertisements, stating that they want to be a Chinese teacher, to be familiar with the Four Books and Five Classics.
As a result, another batch of people were recruited into the network.
Zhu Yuyan and Su Chunjun analyzed and agreed that the Japanese could not have recruited Chinese teachers in order to teach Chinese students not to forget their roots. But if it is to buy people’s hearts and minds, hiring back the previous teachers will be enough, and then calling new ones, it is obvious that there are not enough teachers and too many students.
What kind of students need to learn about China.
Zhu Yuyan found the answer.
It was Japanese soldiers.
On top of that, there was the sight of Chinese students bayoneting in the playground.
Zhu Yuyan had always suspected that the Japanese had organized the university in order to call Chinese people to become Japanese soldiers.
Obviously, the Japanese own soldiers can not be able to use, soldiers are a kind of consumable, wounded, dead can not be used, must be constantly new soldiers to replenish in order to work.
In the past, young adults close to the Japanese garrison often disappeared, and rumor had it that they were all captured by the Japanese.
At that time, Su Chunjun and Zhu Yuyan suspected that the Japanese had taken them as soldiers.
Su Chunjun took out a letter of intelligence and showed it to her, saying, “It has been confirmed. The numbering of Chinese soldiers has been found in the Japanese army.”
It had actually been finalized, which meant that the Chinese soldiers had become established.
“Using Chinese to fight Chinese, how vicious!” Zhu Yuyan was so angry that she pounded the table, but she was helpless.
“Is there any way?” She asked.
Su Chunjun shook his head and sighed, “The current approach is that we can only slowly turn the tide, but the results are minimal.”
Even on the battlefield, the opposite side of the Chinese language, shouting “we are all Chinese, should not fight each other, should turn their weapons on the Japanese”, but the other side of the Chinese soldiers are being guns and bayonets against the back, they do not attack is a death, dare to be a deserter, the back of the head directly shot, how can it be done?
No solution.
If you don’t look at the reasons behind it, then the current state of the world looks as if it has changed for the better and peace has come.
Japanese-issued Good Citizen Certificates began to be prevalent in the marketplace, and Chinese people carrying them could go out on the streets with confidence and buy their daily necessities in the stores.
Workers carrying water and manure reappeared on the streets.
Newspaper sellers and cigarette stalls also began to roam the streets.
It was as if this was a signal.
Japanese stores slowly opened more and more. Seeing the Japanese stores open their doors, the Chinese stores also opened their doors tentatively, but all of them hung the Japanese flag outside their doors for safety.
The hooligans also started to collect protection money. Of course, they were only responsible for collecting the money, not for protecting the stores, and if the stores did not pay, they would smash them up and then loot everything.
Fake policemen, firemen and health bureau members began to appear on the streets. These departments had all been laid off when Su Chunjun was last in power, and he thought that these bureaus would only ask for money but not do any work, so he laid off all of them and gave the money to the police station and the security team.
As a result, I don’t know whether it is the original fire department and the health bureau who are re-employed, or whether they have thrown away their uniforms and have been bought by someone, in short, these people are wearing uniforms, the fire brigade even drove a fire truck, which was parked in front of the store to ask for money, and which does not pay, the truck will not go, blocking the door tightly, the firefighters crookedly wearing uniforms, and encountered customers who want to enter the store to buy things, then stop, and say loudly that the store owes money to the fire brigade, and take the money, and also take the money. The firefighters were wearing uniforms, and when they met customers who wanted to buy things in the store, they stopped them, saying loudly that the store owed money to the firefighting team, and they were holding torches to throw them into the store.
The customers naturally did not dare to come in, and the store owner could only pay for the disaster.
Su Chunjun was so furious that he ordered the police and security forces to patrol the streets and arrest anyone who saw such counterfeits.
But the government’s credibility is too weak, what I did not expect is that these fake people are not afraid of the police, see the police to arrest them, even dared to confront the police on the street, and will even point out that the police are fake, they are the real thing.
The two sides sparred and ended up in a firefight, with casualties on each side.
But the police side is not really want to single-mindedly for Su Chunjun loyalty, they receive money to do things, can hurt the life of the work can not want to do.
Usually, the protection of Su Chunjun and Zhu Yuyan has been relying on the tactics of the sea of people, saving the “may not be my turn” mentality of chance.
Now, even patrolling the streets may be life-threatening, so a large number of police officers began to slacken off, but not many people resigned, after all, when the police have money, food, and guns to protect themselves and their families.
Su Chunjun’s orders could not be carried out and had to be suspended.
What’s even more strange is that those hooligans have what it takes to fight with the regular police. The police at least have guns, but the hooligans have a lot of knives and sticks, so they are not afraid.
Su Chunjun: “They must have someone behind them.”
Zhu Yuyan: “Is it the Japanese?”
Su Chunjun: “It may or may not be.”
It was easy to investigate, after all, these hooligans were in groups, it wasn’t hard to find out exactly what gang they were from. Unsurprisingly, these hooligans were scattered in various small gangs, but had the will to gather together to do the same thing; extorting a store was one thing, confronting the police was another.
The Intelligence Bureau soon found out that the hooligans of these small gangs were assembled by a Chinese businessman named Wan Kwok-wah, who was born in Hong Kong and had studied English for a few years and traveled between the two places. He knew many foreigners and did a lot of business.
Su Chunjun suspected that the people behind Wan Guohua were Japanese or British.
However, it is not easy to catch Wanguohua, as soon as he hears the wind, he will hide back to Hong Kong, that is the territory of the British, can not catch him.
If you can’t catch someone, you can’t be sure who the person behind him really is.
Zhu Yuyan said, “There is no hurry, you first layout to catch people, my side can first think of ways to create a storm, first planted the pot on his head.”
Could it be that the only way to arrest someone for a crime is to catch the actual evidence?
It was not necessary at all.
Zhu Yuyan befriended a number of newspapers and news media, and there were also many reporters who had received red packets from her, she found familiar reporters and asked them to write a story, in the style of a worldly love novel, to fabricate a story about an unknown dynasty at the end of the dynasty, when foreign enemies were invading, there was a merchant with the surname Wan, who was a member of the country but wagged his tail at foreigners, and who secretly amassed a large amount of wealth, with his house being paved with gold, and with precious stones encrusted all over the bedheads of his concubines.
In short, in the writings of journalists, this Wan merchant was not only a great criminal, but also very, very rich!
Once four thieves, who did not know him, quietly ambushed him in front of his lover’s house, accidentally intercepted his car, and surprisingly held out a box of gold bars from the trunk!
The four thieves slipped away, split the money and ran away.
The businessman was too lazy to pursue the matter. The bodyguard asked why he did not pursue? Wan businessman said proudly: “I bend down to pick up money several times the effort to earn money back, why bother to bend down again? No need to go after, just a few thieves.”
Where is this a big businessman, simply a big good man!
After Zhu Yuyan concocted a few novels in the same style and published them, Su Chunjun heard from the Intelligence Bureau that there was now a bounty on the road regarding the Wan merchant.
Driver Chen: “The Dao says that this Wan Guohua has money, and there are no less than five or six gangs that want to catch him for blackmail. With their help, it’s estimated that Wan Guohua will soon be in hand.”
Su Chunjun: “……”
