Chapter 775 The Locust Plague Is Coming
Chapter 775 The Locust Plague Is Coming
Shen Hanwen would not make such a low-level mistake. After he left, he took someone with him and went directly to the Military Command Archives to check.
The military command has information on the situation of all senior officers in the army, not files, but their thoughts and their own conditions, which are more detailed than the files.
Zhang Enlong is 43 years old this year. He did study in Japan 20 years ago, but he did not go to a formal school, but his family paid him to go to Japan to have a study abroad experience.
At that time, it was popular to study abroad in Japan.
He is really a talented student studying in Japan, Zhang Enlong is not still a colonel and brigade commander now, he is not a direct descendant.
Zhang Enlong's father was a big landowner who also opened a factory, and his family was rich.
Zhang Enlong has two sons and two daughters. The eldest son is the oldest. He is currently studying at National Chongqing University. The school was bombed by the Japanese so badly that the students were forced to transfer and study separately.
Students who really can't make arrangements can only suspend classes.
The youngest son was the youngest, only five years old this year. The team leader asked him to investigate Zhang Enlong and his son, so it must not be the five-year-old child.
Zhang Enlong's eldest son is Zhang Tinghu, 19 years old, smart since he was a child, and can speak Japanese.
After checking the files, Shen Hanwen immediately conducted an in-depth investigation.
The more you investigate, the more surprised he becomes.
Zhang Enlong was fine, his family had money, he donated an official to him, and sent him to Japan for gilding, and now he finally became a brigade commander.
But his ability is very average. He has fought against the Japanese a few times, but he was basically defeated. He ran away when he met the Japanese, and was almost brought to justice.
If it weren't for the tougher relationship at home, he wouldn't be able to continue working as a brigade commander.
Zhang Tinghu was smart since he was a child. He studied in a new school, but he also went to a private school in an old school. He was able to compose poetry at the age of ten, and he did it very well. He was once known as a child prodigy.
Zhang Tinghu's academic performance is very good. The university he was admitted to is the pride of his family. He is very good at learning. His family hired many tutors for him. Zhang Tinghu not only knows Japanese, but also English and French.
Judging from the files, Zhang Tinghu was definitely a talent, but the team leader specifically mentioned him, and Shen Hanwen understood that this person was the focus of the investigation.
Maybe even more important than his father.
At first, Chu Lingyun wanted to see his younger sister, then go to see his parents before returning to Shanghai, but his younger sister suddenly provided a situation, which forced Chu Lingyun to change his plan.
I can't go back for the time being. It won't be too late to go back after investigating Zhang Tinghu's matter.
It's best if there are no problems. If there are problems, especially those who may be related to spies, it is too dangerous to be so close to my sister, so I must verify it clearly.
Somewhere in Henan.
After a day of hard work, most of the hardworking farmers sit at the head of the village to enjoy the cool and rest. A bowl of well water is their best tool to quench their thirst.
It's not boiling water, well water is very clean, not to mention burning water and waste wood, firewood is also money.
Save more firewood and sell it in the city, and you can exchange for a few corn buns to eat, which can save lives at critical moments.
"what is that?"
A man with good eyes suddenly pointed to the distance, and everyone followed his finger to look.
In the distance, there is a dark patch, covering the sky and covering the sky, and no one knows what it is.
An old man stood up suddenly, with horror and fear in his eyes.
After a while, his body trembled slightly, and then trembled more violently.
He is an old man, and he has seen this thing before. It is a locust. When the locust passes through the border, no grass will grow. The severe drought reduces the yield, and it can be harvested to some extent, so as not to starve to death.
"Uncle Huang, what's the matter with you?"
A young man beside him asked curiously. Uncle Huang stretched out his finger and pointed to the distance, his voice trembling: "Locusts, locust disaster."
After speaking, his eyes darkened, and he fell directly.
Locust plague?
The few people who heard what he said hurriedly got up and ran to the ground. Soon their faces were pale, and there were indeed locusts in the distance, densely packed, eating their crops.
When the locusts came, a group of people yelled wildly, and all the people in the village ran out, and ran into the ground with brooms, pots and other things.
They fanned, crushed, and beat desperately. How many locusts might they kill?
Some smarter ones rush to harvest, but how much can one person collect, not to mention there is still no mature grain?
A large number of locusts appeared, and the local parents soon knew.
The county magistrate sat down on the chair. He didn't feel sorry for the people. Once the locust plague came, he would definitely not be able to pay this year's taxes. This was related to his political achievements.
"As the so-called extreme drought brings locusts, as the old saying goes, there must be locusts after a long drought, my lord, this is God's warning..."
"roll"
The county magistrate kicked away the shaking-headed master. He was upset, and reported locust plagues from various places under his rule. This time the locust plague covers a large area. This year, he will definitely not be able to meet the above tax and food requirements.
There is a war going on right now, so there is no shortage of money, let alone food.
The master left in a hurry, he is from Zhejiang Province, he likes to chew words, and usually the master also has this hobby, but he didn't think about the occasion today, and he said that there must be locusts after a long drought, what's the use of hindsight?
The plague of locusts is not limited to this one place, but in many places. This time the drought is severe, and the plague of locusts is even more serious.
Everywhere did not dare to report it, but they couldn't hide it from Boss Dai.
There are branches all over the military command, and even people in remote places have the periphery of the military command, and they are regularly given some money and report important situations.
"Ling Yun, good news."
Boss Dai was very happy to call Chu Lingyun to his office.
"Report from Henan. There is a locust plague over there. It is very serious. The price of food will inevitably rise again. The food you store is now more valuable."
Boss Dai said quickly, and Chu Lingyun's heart sank, but there was a smile on his face: "That's great, the people don't have much food in their hands, so I'll arrange for people to deliver the food right away. They will send someone over, and you can command by name.”
"Okay, let's do it as soon as possible."
Boss Dai smiled and nodded. Once the locust plague came, the people would have no way to survive. This batch of grain would definitely make a lot of money.
He wasn't surprised that Chu Lingyun sent someone over, no matter how good the relationship was, he would definitely intervene in business matters.
This time it was his name, and there would definitely be his people on the scene. He only needed to know how much food was released and how many people owed them how much money.
Now the people have no food in their hands, and in order to survive, they have to borrow no matter how high the interest is.
Death certainly can't make them die, but if they live, they will have to make money for themselves and repay these debts for the rest of their lives.
"Yes."
Chu Lingyun left to report to alchemist Yi that the locust plague was coming, and the food should be sent to the disaster area as soon as possible.
When the locust plague just arrived, the common people would still not die of hunger, and even the poorest could survive for a few days, but the food was not immediately available to the common people.
Shipping takes time, and registration and distribution also takes time.
And they are not disaster relief, they are lending usury, borrowing a catty of grain, only give you [-]%, and then you have to return [-]%.
It's only a month's time.
If it exceeds the time limit, you will have to pay back more than two catties in three months. After one year, there will be no seven or eight catties that cannot be unloaded.
How many days can a catty of grain last?
If the common people really want to borrow food, they will certainly not only borrow one catty. This disaster has lasted for a long time, and if it continues like this, more and more will be rolled, and it will be unclear in this lifetime.
Even so, the number of people Chu Lingyun could help was limited, and there were too many victims, so he couldn't save all of them.
The Great Famine is inevitable.
Alchemist Yi received a telegram from Chu Lingyun, and immediately ordered the branch companies to open warehouses to deliver grain, and to transport the grain there first.
In Yanzhou, Ke Gong also received information about the locust plague in the Central Plains.
Looking at the telegram, he remained silent for a long time.
The people are suffering, years of wars, and now natural disasters, there is simply no way out.
Ke Gong knew that Chu Lingyun's plan was very good, no matter what happens in the future, save people first, even if it is poison, it is also poison that can save lives.
He didn't know that the Japanese would be finished in three years, and the Guo party also failed to persist for a few years.
In the future, when the people are the masters of the country, these debts will naturally be completely cancelled.
Ke Gong didn't understand, but he knew that Chu Lingyun must have a way to deal with it.
The last time the poor in Shanghai were saved by Chu Lingyun, food prices soared, Chu Lingyun helped the common people in his own way, not only no one doubted him, many people even called him a profiteer.
It is such a profiteer who at least saved the lives of hundreds of thousands of poor and low-level people in Shanghai, otherwise I don't know how many people would starve to death.
Even if hundreds of thousands cannot die, there must be tens of thousands.
Under Chu Lingyun's operation, at least no one in Shanghai starved to death. This is a great merit.
At that time, Mr. Ke couldn't guess how Chu Lingyun could keep people from being suspicious and continue to help the people after Chu Lingyun controlled the grain price.
As a result, Chu Lingyun came to sell the grains separately. Coarse grains lost money and the prices stabilized in Shanghai. The prices of fine grains, especially rice, were desperately increased, causing a group of people to curse, but at the same time, more people had a chance to survive.
It was the same this time. Mr. Ke couldn't figure out how to help these people after Chu Lingyun lent the grain so that they wouldn't be exploited too hard, but he believed that Chu Lingyun must have a solution.
Chu Lingyun was the smartest person he had ever met.
The plague of locusts spread in the Central Plains, and people everywhere cried and cried. Many people were forced to flee the famine. Boss Dai sent people to deliver food.
He sent his absolute confidant, Secretary Qi.
Secretary Qi finally knew why Chu Lingyun came back to look for Boss Dai. He never expected that Chu Lingyun, who had always been honest and honest in his opinion, would be so dark-hearted when it comes to making money.
Sure enough, businessmen pursue profit without any bottom line.
Chu Lingyun runs a pharmaceutical factory and already makes money, not to mention Shiyuan Trading Company, there are rows of bones in the underground of the trading company, merchants who were killed by Takemoto, grain merchants who were forced to death, merchants who secretly smuggled and were executed, etc.
There are also those who have offended Shiyuan Trading Company.
Whether it is an official or an ordinary person, the final fate is very miserable.
Some of these people are Japanese, but more are Chinese.
Secretary Qi laughed at himself. Chu Lingyun was benevolent on the surface, it was because he cared about his reputation, he didn't earn a small amount of money, and he could even pay back.
But big money is never ambiguous.
For example, in a pharmaceutical factory, the cost of medicine is only so much, but the price he sells is several times the cost.
Secretary Qi didn't think about it, if it wasn't for Chu Lingyun's continuous control of drug prices and increased production, the price of sulfa in China would definitely be sky-high, and many people would never be able to buy it.
As for taking the initiative to lower the price, it is useless at all. If you lower the retail price of others, it will be the same as the current price. The quantity of sulfonamide is not enough, so it is destined not to have a price that is too low.
Before the food arrived, Secretary Qi arrived first, which shows how impatient Boss Dai is.
When he arrived in the disaster area, Secretary Qi was even more frightened. There were people fleeing the famine with their families and people everywhere, and starving to death had begun. After all, many people did not have much food in their homes.
If there are no locusts, digging some wild vegetables can also handle it. When the locusts cross the border, the wild vegetables are gone, and they can only eat bark.
There is only so much bark, and can it be eaten?
It's not really a life-saving thing at all, it's just a delay.
Chongqing, the sixth day after Chu Lingyun came back.
Shen Hanwen was standing in front of him, reporting in a low voice.
"The brother sent to the sixth war zone reported that Zhang Enlong is fine. He has read books, but he didn't read well. In fact, he is a big bastard. It is his son Zhang Tinghu. According to my recent investigation, it is not easy."
"say clearly."
Chu Lingyun nodded lightly. At first, his sister suspected Zhang Tinghu because of the bracelet on his body.
It's normal to be able to speak Japanese. There are many people who can speak Japanese these days. There are quite a few people in the military command who can speak Japanese, including Niach, Shen Hanwen, and Chu Yuan.
Chu Lingyun had asked them a long time ago that they must learn Japanese, they don't need to speak it well, they must be able to understand and understand.
Their enemy is the Japanese, and they can't speak Japanese, so how can they deal with the Japanese?
Especially lurking in Shanghai, knowing Japanese is very important.
There are many people who can speak Japanese, which is based on their understanding of the enemy, but very few people wear Japanese wristbands.
After all, bracelets have certain national characteristics, and they are jewelry. The meaning of jewelry is basically good. What do you mean by wearing the bracelet of your biggest enemy?
The big bear and the little bear are fighting, you are in the little bear's territory, try wearing the big bear's national clothes?
If you don't get knocked out, you are considered amazing.
"Yes, according to our investigation, Zhang Tinghu once had a Japanese teacher who taught him for two years. He started teaching him at the age of 12 and left at the age of 14. At that time, Zhang Tinghu was still in his hometown, not in Chongqing."
"Then I investigated Zhang Tinghu's Japanese teacher, and found that the identity he reported did not have this person at all, it was a fake identity."
"I suspect his Japanese teacher is a Japanese spy, but his Japanese teacher left five years ago and has not been around him so far. If it is a Japanese spy, it is impossible not to come once. Zhang Tinghu is fine, but his father is a man after all. Brigadier, it is very useful to the Japanese."
Shen Hanwen finished speaking quickly, time was limited, and it was not easy to find out so many in such a short time.
"Continue to investigate his Japanese teacher, even if it is five years ago, we must investigate clearly. In addition, we will increase the investigation of Zhang Tinghu, including the places he has been to and who he has met."
Chu Lingyun ordered that if Zhang Tinghu's teacher was seriously suspected, he would not be able to get away with it.
Through Zhang Tinghu, it is easy to pull Zhang Enlong into the water. Zhang Enlong is now the commander of the brigade, and he was also the commander of the regiment five years ago.
Even then it was useful to the Japanese.
And the Zhang family is their local prominent family.
"Yes."
Shen Hanwen took the order to leave, he was very excited now.
Sure enough, there will always be something wrong with the team leader. In the past, all the advantages were taken away by the loach, but now it is finally my turn.
He is not demanding, as long as he can be a colonel.
When it comes to the colonel, it is no problem to give up such an opportunity to Chu Yuan.
However, it was no longer possible for Chu Yuan to follow Chu Lingyun with his original identity, so he could only use his new identity, Chu Er.
Chu Er is currently a lieutenant, and his rank is a bit lower. It is a pity that it is a bit reluctant to lead him.
Shen Hanwen didn't know that Boss Dai secretly helped Chu Yuan make a promotion report. He wronged himself for Jiang Tengkong and changed his name.
After Chu Yuan regained his identity, he immediately became the colonel.
Shen Hanwen was actually the last person to be promoted to colonel, not the second.
In Wuhan, Fang Shiyi got off the boat.
Gang Tian immediately went up to meet Fang Shiyi. As long as Fang Shiyi came, he would go to the pier to meet him in person. With him, no one would dare to trouble Fang Shiyi in Wuhan.
He is the head of the brigade, a lower rank than him, and he wants to go around when he sees him.
Those who are higher than him know what is going on with Shiyuan Trading Company, their heads are dizzy, or they drink too much, so they should go to Shiyuan Trading Company for trouble?
Kurosawa's bones are still there.
"Secretary Fang."
Okada greeted him respectfully, and Fang Shiyi responded politely: "General Okada, I'm sorry for your trouble."
He is not Ishihara Hiroshi, these people in Wenshe respect him because of the people behind him, not himself, he is very clear about this.
He has never entrusted too much to anyone in the literary society.
"No trouble, I have prepared the person you want for you."
Okada responded with a smile, this time Alchemist Yi asked him to borrow troops, and the number was quite large, almost two squadrons.
These people are mainly food protectors. Ishihara Trading Company’s grain should be sent to the disaster area as soon as possible, and then start usury. Outsiders see it as a good time to make money. Ishihara Heng is a black-hearted businessman, so it’s normal to do so.
Only he himself knew that Shi Yuanheng was changing his ways to save people, in order to let the people survive.
Like Ke Gong, he didn't know how Shi Yuanheng would end up in the future.
But he has more confidence in Shi Yuanheng, and believes that Shi Yuanheng must have a way to solve this problem, and he doesn't really want to harm those ordinary people.
Alchemist Yi firmly believed that Shi Yuanheng would not persecute the poor who really could not afford to pay back food.
"Thank you, let them prepare first, and let them follow when the food team sets out."
Alchemist Yi nodded, now the army is in turmoil, there are bandits everywhere, and they are going to a disaster area, there is no way to do it without heavy protection.
In addition to bandits, there are also guerrillas.
In order to save people, they would dare to do anything. If they were robbed by their own guerrillas, it would be fine. To be robbed by members of the Loyalty and National Salvation Army is disgusting.
These grains must not be given to those dog spies of the military command.
Besides, they had food in their hands. Shi Yuanheng actually cooperated with the military command this time and asked them to help distribute the food. Alchemist Yi was a little puzzled.
However, the biggest client of Ishihara Trading Company is Juntong, and all the smuggled money has been earned from Juntong over the years. Ishihara Heng has nothing to do if he wants to do this, and Mr. Ke has never objected.
Anyway, the food he transported will never be given to these military spies.
"Don't worry, I have arranged people, and I will follow your orders on the way."
Okada hastily responded, this task has allowed him to earn a lot of contribution points, he has not yet repaid his contribution points for being promoted to brigade commander, he needs to pay it off as soon as possible, and then wait until he has the opportunity to be promoted to division commander. As for the delay.
"Very good, thank you."
Alchemist is easy to get on the car, and the people at the dock will unload the goods according to his requirements. He brought a fleet of goods here by the way, 20.00% of which are for his hometown.
The quantity of goods is not so much this time, so I can draw more for my hometown.
In addition, he will find a way to transport the grain to his hometown alone. Without the transportation line in Wuhan, the grain production in his hometown has also been greatly reduced. Although it is not as serious as the Central Plains, it is still not enough to eat.
During this period of time, Shi Yuanheng and he tried many ways to provide food for their hometown.
There are [-] granaries in Wuhan, which are full of grain.
However, these granaries were built in a hurry, not that kind of super-large granaries. If they were all that kind of granaries, if they were all filled, the famine could be solved for him.
Even so, the amount of food is not small.
Cars drove into the grain depot, loaded with bags of grain, and the huge convoys drove out slowly. These convoys would deliver the grain to various food-deficient areas in the Japanese-occupied areas and release the grain on the spot.
If you want food, you have to accept their high interest rates.
It’s fine if you don’t accept it, as long as you don’t go to get the food, after all, the interest will be paid later, and you don’t want it now.
Fang Shiyi believed that those people who had no way to survive would definitely borrow. If they did not borrow, they would starve to death. No matter how high the interest was, they would survive.
After that, talk about it later.
This time, Alchemist Yi received a secret order from Shi Yuanheng. There are families who sell their children and daughters, and Shi Yuan Trading Co., Ltd. fully accepts them.
Buy these children, send them to Shanghai, and let them work.
This year, there is no grain harvest, and the people can't even feed themselves, let alone their children. Chu Lingyun accepted their children, seemingly making them work, but in fact, Hai was saving them.
Not only work, but also teach them to read.
The more you read, the more you can do in the future.
They are not hired child laborers, but bought by Shiyuan Trading Company, and the name belongs to Shiyuan Trading Company's private property.
Since it is private property, it is natural to make them as capable as possible, so that they can create better value in the future.
It's not hired workers, Shiyuan Trading Company will not exploit them too seriously, and they don't have wages anyway.
Taking advantage of this, Shi Yuanheng was able to save many children of the common people.
The younger ones are raised first, and they do small things, while the older ones learn to read and write. Later, the Red Party will arrange people to come in and educate them quietly.
These people can even be said to be their reserve force.
Not only in the Japanese-occupied area, but Chu Lingyun in the Guotong area would also do the same.
Boss Dai will help him buy people and send them to work in Chongqing. Boss Dai will benefit from every person he buys, and he is happy to do so.
In Boss Dai's heart, buying these children saved them, and he should be grateful. As for how Chu Lingyun would use these children and whether they would be exhausted to death, Boss Dai didn't even think about it.
A person as shrewd as Chu Lingyun would definitely not be able to lose money.
"Team leader, Zhang Tinghu went out of the city alone many times. I inquired outside the city, but he didn't have the place he mentioned. I suspect that he went out of the city to meet someone secretly."
Shen Hanwen came to Chu Lingyun's office to report. Zhang Enlong's subordinates were investigating. Now he focused on investigating Zhang Tinghu.
Although Zhang Tinghu is only 19 years old, there are many more doubts about him than his father.
"Immediately find out where he went and who he met."
Chu Lingyun ordered, what is Zhang Tinghu doing sneaking out of the city?Shen Hanwen's guess was right, he might have met someone secretly.
No matter who you meet, you must check it out.
If it was a spy, it happened to be caught, unless he figured out what was going on, Chu Lingyun would not let his sister have anyone who threatened her.
"Yes."
Shen Hanwen took the command, and he didn't ignore Zhang Tinghu because he urinated. In fact, Zhang Tinghu is not young, and there are some young players in their military command who are eighteen or nineteen years old.
Zhang Tinghu was known as a child prodigy, and Shen Hanwen never underestimated him.
It is not easy to investigate where Zhang Tinghu went out of the city before, and it has been so long, it needs enough patience.
Shen Hanwen personally led people to investigate, took Zhang Tinghu's photo out of the city, and specifically asked the local people outside the city to ask. He didn't ask whoever he met, but only asked the older people with families.
These people have always been in the local area, have families and mouths, and give them benefits and then warn them, they dare not speak nonsense to the outside world.
If you talk too much, you may cause a big disaster.
Now that the army is in chaos, they have no place to run.
In order to avoid causing trouble to the family, they generally keep their mouths shut.
As long as they are not big mouths, Shen Hanwen will not care about them.
In this way, they asked one by one around the city. It’s okay if they haven’t seen anything, and it’s fine if they can provide useful clues. After five days of continuous investigation, Shen Hanwen finally asked someone who had seen him.
With the first one, it's much easier to find the next one.
Shen Hanwen asked all the way, and finally found the place where Zhang Tinghu went.
Twenty miles outside Chongqing city, in a town.
It used to be a small village, but after the war there were a lot of people from outside, it gradually became a market town. Now there are more than 3000 people in the town, but only a few hundred people are locals.
The village expanded into a town, and even had a mayor and police.
Another company of soldiers was stationed nearby.
The people in the town spontaneously built a layer of fence outside, the city wall cannot be built, otherwise this is a small town.
This town is the only way from Chengdu to Chongqing. In addition to more than 3000 permanent residents, there are also many temporary residents. In a small town, there are four chariot shops.
"Captain, the population flow here is too big. We asked two locals to ask, but none of them have seen Zhang Tinghu."
The team members soon came back to report that they were not members of the combat situation team, but members of the Operation Division [-] of the Operation Department.
The four action subjects are the previous four action groups.
When Chu Lingyun went to Shanghai, all the members of the Fourth Operations Division were taken away. After the military command was upgraded, He Nian rebuilt the Fourth Operations Division. Except for the section chief, several team leaders and team leaders returned to Chongqing from the War Situation Division.
Every time Chu Lingyun came back, it was mostly people from the fourth department of action.
The chief of the section is an honest person, most of the people in the fourth section of the operation regard Chu Lingyun as an idol, and Shen Hanwen uses them as if he uses his own people.
"Bring me one of the town's ruffians."
Shen Hanwen thought for a while, and immediately gave an order. There is a mayor in the town, and there are also police officers. If anyone knows the town best, it must be the police and local ruffians.
The police are on the bright side, and people on the street know them very well. If they ask important clues, it will be difficult to control people.
The gangsters are different. These gangsters are drunk now and now, and they want to be chic when they have money. No one will care if they go out for a few days.
"Yes."
The subordinates responded quickly, and not long after, a ruffian was brought over by them, his face full of panic.
"Where are some good guys, if there is something for you in Lujia Town, just ask, and my brother will definitely help you."
The hooligan clasped his fists and asked cautiously, Shen Hanwen and the others were wearing plain clothes, there were quite a few of them, and they were big and big. He didn't know the way of these people, so he would be full of worries.
"Very well, it's useful for you now."
Shen Hanwen was not polite, and showed Zhang Tinghu's photo to the gangsters: "Have you seen this person?"
The hooligan was stunned when he saw the photo, rolled his eyes, and then shook his head: "No."
"Call me."
Shen Hanwen said lightly, and his subordinates immediately dragged the ruffian aside, pulled out the belt as a whip, and whipped it hard.
They are a little far away from the town, no matter how loud the hooligans shout, they will not be heard.
Even if someone passing by heard it, they would not dare to come and meddle in their own business.
"Stop beating, I said, I have seen, several officials, please forgive me."
The ruffian was whipped to death and kept begging for mercy, Shen Hanwen had someone bring him in front of him.
"Didn't you say you haven't seen it, why do you say you have seen it now?"
Shen Hanwen asked coldly, and the hooligan cried and replied, "I didn't know you would hit him after asking. I have met him, but he belongs to Teacher Lu, so I dare not offend Teacher Lu."
"Teacher Lu?"
Shen Hanwen frowned. It used to be called Lujia Village, but now it is called Lujia Town. Originally, everyone in the village was surnamed Lu.
Is this Mr. Lu a local?
"That's right, Mr. Lu is very knowledgeable, everyone admires him, and Mr. Lu knows kung fu, he is very powerful, and he is ruthless enough. He has a good relationship with the mayor of the town. The police captain listens to him. The person you are talking about is his." A student, it is said that he is from a wealthy family in the city, and he has been here several times."
The hooligans are much more honest, so there is no need to ask and take the initiative to explain.
As soon as Shen Hanwen took out the photo, he knew that the other party was not from the Dao, but an official person. Generally, people on the Dao would not ask directly with a photo.
Even if they are looking for someone, they will first tell the reason and clarify the matter.
Only officials would do that.
Teacher Lu is very powerful in the town, he didn't want to offend, so he didn't dare to admit it.
But he didn't expect that the other party would beat him without saying a word, and the whip was for nothing.
"Tell me the specific situation of Mr. Lu."
Shen Hanwen asked again, he didn't know how to look at micro-expressions like Chu Lingyun, but the eyeballs of the ruffian were so obvious that not even a fool could see the abnormality.
After the fight, he really got the result he wanted.
Now at least he knows who Zhang Tinghu is looking for.
"Teacher Lu is not a local, he just came here two years ago..."
"Not a local, why is his surname Lu?"
Shen Hanwen's spirit was shaken, and the local ruffian looked at him in a daze: "His surname is Lu."
"Go on."
It's fine if he's not a local. He was influenced by his subconscious mind before, thinking that the people surnamed Lu in Lu's town were the original locals.
"Teacher Lu is very knowledgeable. When he came to the town, he went to the school to teach students, and the fees were very low. Many people respected him. Later, I don't know how he got on the line of the mayor. The mayor went to school in the city. All the children called over and asked Teacher Lu to teach."
The hooligan slowly told about Teacher Lu's situation.
Teacher Lu is not too old, he is 35 years old this year, it is said that his hometown is Beiping, and he used to teach at Yenching University.
Later, when Beiping fell, Teacher Lu didn’t want to work in the Japanese-controlled area all the time. He first went to Xi’an for a while, and had a bad relationship with his colleagues there, so he came down to Chongqing in a fit of anger.
(End of this chapter)
Shen Hanwen would not make such a low-level mistake. After he left, he took someone with him and went directly to the Military Command Archives to check.
The military command has information on the situation of all senior officers in the army, not files, but their thoughts and their own conditions, which are more detailed than the files.
Zhang Enlong is 43 years old this year. He did study in Japan 20 years ago, but he did not go to a formal school, but his family paid him to go to Japan to have a study abroad experience.
At that time, it was popular to study abroad in Japan.
He is really a talented student studying in Japan, Zhang Enlong is not still a colonel and brigade commander now, he is not a direct descendant.
Zhang Enlong's father was a big landowner who also opened a factory, and his family was rich.
Zhang Enlong has two sons and two daughters. The eldest son is the oldest. He is currently studying at National Chongqing University. The school was bombed by the Japanese so badly that the students were forced to transfer and study separately.
Students who really can't make arrangements can only suspend classes.
The youngest son was the youngest, only five years old this year. The team leader asked him to investigate Zhang Enlong and his son, so it must not be the five-year-old child.
Zhang Enlong's eldest son is Zhang Tinghu, 19 years old, smart since he was a child, and can speak Japanese.
After checking the files, Shen Hanwen immediately conducted an in-depth investigation.
The more you investigate, the more surprised he becomes.
Zhang Enlong was fine, his family had money, he donated an official to him, and sent him to Japan for gilding, and now he finally became a brigade commander.
But his ability is very average. He has fought against the Japanese a few times, but he was basically defeated. He ran away when he met the Japanese, and was almost brought to justice.
If it weren't for the tougher relationship at home, he wouldn't be able to continue working as a brigade commander.
Zhang Tinghu was smart since he was a child. He studied in a new school, but he also went to a private school in an old school. He was able to compose poetry at the age of ten, and he did it very well. He was once known as a child prodigy.
Zhang Tinghu's academic performance is very good. The university he was admitted to is the pride of his family. He is very good at learning. His family hired many tutors for him. Zhang Tinghu not only knows Japanese, but also English and French.
Judging from the files, Zhang Tinghu was definitely a talent, but the team leader specifically mentioned him, and Shen Hanwen understood that this person was the focus of the investigation.
Maybe even more important than his father.
At first, Chu Lingyun wanted to see his younger sister, then go to see his parents before returning to Shanghai, but his younger sister suddenly provided a situation, which forced Chu Lingyun to change his plan.
I can't go back for the time being. It won't be too late to go back after investigating Zhang Tinghu's matter.
It's best if there are no problems. If there are problems, especially those who may be related to spies, it is too dangerous to be so close to my sister, so I must verify it clearly.
Somewhere in Henan.
After a day of hard work, most of the hardworking farmers sit at the head of the village to enjoy the cool and rest. A bowl of well water is their best tool to quench their thirst.
It's not boiling water, well water is very clean, not to mention burning water and waste wood, firewood is also money.
Save more firewood and sell it in the city, and you can exchange for a few corn buns to eat, which can save lives at critical moments.
"what is that?"
A man with good eyes suddenly pointed to the distance, and everyone followed his finger to look.
In the distance, there is a dark patch, covering the sky and covering the sky, and no one knows what it is.
An old man stood up suddenly, with horror and fear in his eyes.
After a while, his body trembled slightly, and then trembled more violently.
He is an old man, and he has seen this thing before. It is a locust. When the locust passes through the border, no grass will grow. The severe drought reduces the yield, and it can be harvested to some extent, so as not to starve to death.
"Uncle Huang, what's the matter with you?"
A young man beside him asked curiously. Uncle Huang stretched out his finger and pointed to the distance, his voice trembling: "Locusts, locust disaster."
After speaking, his eyes darkened, and he fell directly.
Locust plague?
The few people who heard what he said hurriedly got up and ran to the ground. Soon their faces were pale, and there were indeed locusts in the distance, densely packed, eating their crops.
When the locusts came, a group of people yelled wildly, and all the people in the village ran out, and ran into the ground with brooms, pots and other things.
They fanned, crushed, and beat desperately. How many locusts might they kill?
Some smarter ones rush to harvest, but how much can one person collect, not to mention there is still no mature grain?
A large number of locusts appeared, and the local parents soon knew.
The county magistrate sat down on the chair. He didn't feel sorry for the people. Once the locust plague came, he would definitely not be able to pay this year's taxes. This was related to his political achievements.
"As the so-called extreme drought brings locusts, as the old saying goes, there must be locusts after a long drought, my lord, this is God's warning..."
"roll"
The county magistrate kicked away the shaking-headed master. He was upset, and reported locust plagues from various places under his rule. This time the locust plague covers a large area. This year, he will definitely not be able to meet the above tax and food requirements.
There is a war going on right now, so there is no shortage of money, let alone food.
The master left in a hurry, he is from Zhejiang Province, he likes to chew words, and usually the master also has this hobby, but he didn't think about the occasion today, and he said that there must be locusts after a long drought, what's the use of hindsight?
The plague of locusts is not limited to this one place, but in many places. This time the drought is severe, and the plague of locusts is even more serious.
Everywhere did not dare to report it, but they couldn't hide it from Boss Dai.
There are branches all over the military command, and even people in remote places have the periphery of the military command, and they are regularly given some money and report important situations.
"Ling Yun, good news."
Boss Dai was very happy to call Chu Lingyun to his office.
"Report from Henan. There is a locust plague over there. It is very serious. The price of food will inevitably rise again. The food you store is now more valuable."
Boss Dai said quickly, and Chu Lingyun's heart sank, but there was a smile on his face: "That's great, the people don't have much food in their hands, so I'll arrange for people to deliver the food right away. They will send someone over, and you can command by name.”
"Okay, let's do it as soon as possible."
Boss Dai smiled and nodded. Once the locust plague came, the people would have no way to survive. This batch of grain would definitely make a lot of money.
He wasn't surprised that Chu Lingyun sent someone over, no matter how good the relationship was, he would definitely intervene in business matters.
This time it was his name, and there would definitely be his people on the scene. He only needed to know how much food was released and how many people owed them how much money.
Now the people have no food in their hands, and in order to survive, they have to borrow no matter how high the interest is.
Death certainly can't make them die, but if they live, they will have to make money for themselves and repay these debts for the rest of their lives.
"Yes."
Chu Lingyun left to report to alchemist Yi that the locust plague was coming, and the food should be sent to the disaster area as soon as possible.
When the locust plague just arrived, the common people would still not die of hunger, and even the poorest could survive for a few days, but the food was not immediately available to the common people.
Shipping takes time, and registration and distribution also takes time.
And they are not disaster relief, they are lending usury, borrowing a catty of grain, only give you [-]%, and then you have to return [-]%.
It's only a month's time.
If it exceeds the time limit, you will have to pay back more than two catties in three months. After one year, there will be no seven or eight catties that cannot be unloaded.
How many days can a catty of grain last?
If the common people really want to borrow food, they will certainly not only borrow one catty. This disaster has lasted for a long time, and if it continues like this, more and more will be rolled, and it will be unclear in this lifetime.
Even so, the number of people Chu Lingyun could help was limited, and there were too many victims, so he couldn't save all of them.
The Great Famine is inevitable.
Alchemist Yi received a telegram from Chu Lingyun, and immediately ordered the branch companies to open warehouses to deliver grain, and to transport the grain there first.
In Yanzhou, Ke Gong also received information about the locust plague in the Central Plains.
Looking at the telegram, he remained silent for a long time.
The people are suffering, years of wars, and now natural disasters, there is simply no way out.
Ke Gong knew that Chu Lingyun's plan was very good, no matter what happens in the future, save people first, even if it is poison, it is also poison that can save lives.
He didn't know that the Japanese would be finished in three years, and the Guo party also failed to persist for a few years.
In the future, when the people are the masters of the country, these debts will naturally be completely cancelled.
Ke Gong didn't understand, but he knew that Chu Lingyun must have a way to deal with it.
The last time the poor in Shanghai were saved by Chu Lingyun, food prices soared, Chu Lingyun helped the common people in his own way, not only no one doubted him, many people even called him a profiteer.
It is such a profiteer who at least saved the lives of hundreds of thousands of poor and low-level people in Shanghai, otherwise I don't know how many people would starve to death.
Even if hundreds of thousands cannot die, there must be tens of thousands.
Under Chu Lingyun's operation, at least no one in Shanghai starved to death. This is a great merit.
At that time, Mr. Ke couldn't guess how Chu Lingyun could keep people from being suspicious and continue to help the people after Chu Lingyun controlled the grain price.
As a result, Chu Lingyun came to sell the grains separately. Coarse grains lost money and the prices stabilized in Shanghai. The prices of fine grains, especially rice, were desperately increased, causing a group of people to curse, but at the same time, more people had a chance to survive.
It was the same this time. Mr. Ke couldn't figure out how to help these people after Chu Lingyun lent the grain so that they wouldn't be exploited too hard, but he believed that Chu Lingyun must have a solution.
Chu Lingyun was the smartest person he had ever met.
The plague of locusts spread in the Central Plains, and people everywhere cried and cried. Many people were forced to flee the famine. Boss Dai sent people to deliver food.
He sent his absolute confidant, Secretary Qi.
Secretary Qi finally knew why Chu Lingyun came back to look for Boss Dai. He never expected that Chu Lingyun, who had always been honest and honest in his opinion, would be so dark-hearted when it comes to making money.
Sure enough, businessmen pursue profit without any bottom line.
Chu Lingyun runs a pharmaceutical factory and already makes money, not to mention Shiyuan Trading Company, there are rows of bones in the underground of the trading company, merchants who were killed by Takemoto, grain merchants who were forced to death, merchants who secretly smuggled and were executed, etc.
There are also those who have offended Shiyuan Trading Company.
Whether it is an official or an ordinary person, the final fate is very miserable.
Some of these people are Japanese, but more are Chinese.
Secretary Qi laughed at himself. Chu Lingyun was benevolent on the surface, it was because he cared about his reputation, he didn't earn a small amount of money, and he could even pay back.
But big money is never ambiguous.
For example, in a pharmaceutical factory, the cost of medicine is only so much, but the price he sells is several times the cost.
Secretary Qi didn't think about it, if it wasn't for Chu Lingyun's continuous control of drug prices and increased production, the price of sulfa in China would definitely be sky-high, and many people would never be able to buy it.
As for taking the initiative to lower the price, it is useless at all. If you lower the retail price of others, it will be the same as the current price. The quantity of sulfonamide is not enough, so it is destined not to have a price that is too low.
Before the food arrived, Secretary Qi arrived first, which shows how impatient Boss Dai is.
When he arrived in the disaster area, Secretary Qi was even more frightened. There were people fleeing the famine with their families and people everywhere, and starving to death had begun. After all, many people did not have much food in their homes.
If there are no locusts, digging some wild vegetables can also handle it. When the locusts cross the border, the wild vegetables are gone, and they can only eat bark.
There is only so much bark, and can it be eaten?
It's not really a life-saving thing at all, it's just a delay.
Chongqing, the sixth day after Chu Lingyun came back.
Shen Hanwen was standing in front of him, reporting in a low voice.
"The brother sent to the sixth war zone reported that Zhang Enlong is fine. He has read books, but he didn't read well. In fact, he is a big bastard. It is his son Zhang Tinghu. According to my recent investigation, it is not easy."
"say clearly."
Chu Lingyun nodded lightly. At first, his sister suspected Zhang Tinghu because of the bracelet on his body.
It's normal to be able to speak Japanese. There are many people who can speak Japanese these days. There are quite a few people in the military command who can speak Japanese, including Niach, Shen Hanwen, and Chu Yuan.
Chu Lingyun had asked them a long time ago that they must learn Japanese, they don't need to speak it well, they must be able to understand and understand.
Their enemy is the Japanese, and they can't speak Japanese, so how can they deal with the Japanese?
Especially lurking in Shanghai, knowing Japanese is very important.
There are many people who can speak Japanese, which is based on their understanding of the enemy, but very few people wear Japanese wristbands.
After all, bracelets have certain national characteristics, and they are jewelry. The meaning of jewelry is basically good. What do you mean by wearing the bracelet of your biggest enemy?
The big bear and the little bear are fighting, you are in the little bear's territory, try wearing the big bear's national clothes?
If you don't get knocked out, you are considered amazing.
"Yes, according to our investigation, Zhang Tinghu once had a Japanese teacher who taught him for two years. He started teaching him at the age of 12 and left at the age of 14. At that time, Zhang Tinghu was still in his hometown, not in Chongqing."
"Then I investigated Zhang Tinghu's Japanese teacher, and found that the identity he reported did not have this person at all, it was a fake identity."
"I suspect his Japanese teacher is a Japanese spy, but his Japanese teacher left five years ago and has not been around him so far. If it is a Japanese spy, it is impossible not to come once. Zhang Tinghu is fine, but his father is a man after all. Brigadier, it is very useful to the Japanese."
Shen Hanwen finished speaking quickly, time was limited, and it was not easy to find out so many in such a short time.
"Continue to investigate his Japanese teacher, even if it is five years ago, we must investigate clearly. In addition, we will increase the investigation of Zhang Tinghu, including the places he has been to and who he has met."
Chu Lingyun ordered that if Zhang Tinghu's teacher was seriously suspected, he would not be able to get away with it.
Through Zhang Tinghu, it is easy to pull Zhang Enlong into the water. Zhang Enlong is now the commander of the brigade, and he was also the commander of the regiment five years ago.
Even then it was useful to the Japanese.
And the Zhang family is their local prominent family.
"Yes."
Shen Hanwen took the order to leave, he was very excited now.
Sure enough, there will always be something wrong with the team leader. In the past, all the advantages were taken away by the loach, but now it is finally my turn.
He is not demanding, as long as he can be a colonel.
When it comes to the colonel, it is no problem to give up such an opportunity to Chu Yuan.
However, it was no longer possible for Chu Yuan to follow Chu Lingyun with his original identity, so he could only use his new identity, Chu Er.
Chu Er is currently a lieutenant, and his rank is a bit lower. It is a pity that it is a bit reluctant to lead him.
Shen Hanwen didn't know that Boss Dai secretly helped Chu Yuan make a promotion report. He wronged himself for Jiang Tengkong and changed his name.
After Chu Yuan regained his identity, he immediately became the colonel.
Shen Hanwen was actually the last person to be promoted to colonel, not the second.
In Wuhan, Fang Shiyi got off the boat.
Gang Tian immediately went up to meet Fang Shiyi. As long as Fang Shiyi came, he would go to the pier to meet him in person. With him, no one would dare to trouble Fang Shiyi in Wuhan.
He is the head of the brigade, a lower rank than him, and he wants to go around when he sees him.
Those who are higher than him know what is going on with Shiyuan Trading Company, their heads are dizzy, or they drink too much, so they should go to Shiyuan Trading Company for trouble?
Kurosawa's bones are still there.
"Secretary Fang."
Okada greeted him respectfully, and Fang Shiyi responded politely: "General Okada, I'm sorry for your trouble."
He is not Ishihara Hiroshi, these people in Wenshe respect him because of the people behind him, not himself, he is very clear about this.
He has never entrusted too much to anyone in the literary society.
"No trouble, I have prepared the person you want for you."
Okada responded with a smile, this time Alchemist Yi asked him to borrow troops, and the number was quite large, almost two squadrons.
These people are mainly food protectors. Ishihara Trading Company’s grain should be sent to the disaster area as soon as possible, and then start usury. Outsiders see it as a good time to make money. Ishihara Heng is a black-hearted businessman, so it’s normal to do so.
Only he himself knew that Shi Yuanheng was changing his ways to save people, in order to let the people survive.
Like Ke Gong, he didn't know how Shi Yuanheng would end up in the future.
But he has more confidence in Shi Yuanheng, and believes that Shi Yuanheng must have a way to solve this problem, and he doesn't really want to harm those ordinary people.
Alchemist Yi firmly believed that Shi Yuanheng would not persecute the poor who really could not afford to pay back food.
"Thank you, let them prepare first, and let them follow when the food team sets out."
Alchemist Yi nodded, now the army is in turmoil, there are bandits everywhere, and they are going to a disaster area, there is no way to do it without heavy protection.
In addition to bandits, there are also guerrillas.
In order to save people, they would dare to do anything. If they were robbed by their own guerrillas, it would be fine. To be robbed by members of the Loyalty and National Salvation Army is disgusting.
These grains must not be given to those dog spies of the military command.
Besides, they had food in their hands. Shi Yuanheng actually cooperated with the military command this time and asked them to help distribute the food. Alchemist Yi was a little puzzled.
However, the biggest client of Ishihara Trading Company is Juntong, and all the smuggled money has been earned from Juntong over the years. Ishihara Heng has nothing to do if he wants to do this, and Mr. Ke has never objected.
Anyway, the food he transported will never be given to these military spies.
"Don't worry, I have arranged people, and I will follow your orders on the way."
Okada hastily responded, this task has allowed him to earn a lot of contribution points, he has not yet repaid his contribution points for being promoted to brigade commander, he needs to pay it off as soon as possible, and then wait until he has the opportunity to be promoted to division commander. As for the delay.
"Very good, thank you."
Alchemist is easy to get on the car, and the people at the dock will unload the goods according to his requirements. He brought a fleet of goods here by the way, 20.00% of which are for his hometown.
The quantity of goods is not so much this time, so I can draw more for my hometown.
In addition, he will find a way to transport the grain to his hometown alone. Without the transportation line in Wuhan, the grain production in his hometown has also been greatly reduced. Although it is not as serious as the Central Plains, it is still not enough to eat.
During this period of time, Shi Yuanheng and he tried many ways to provide food for their hometown.
There are [-] granaries in Wuhan, which are full of grain.
However, these granaries were built in a hurry, not that kind of super-large granaries. If they were all that kind of granaries, if they were all filled, the famine could be solved for him.
Even so, the amount of food is not small.
Cars drove into the grain depot, loaded with bags of grain, and the huge convoys drove out slowly. These convoys would deliver the grain to various food-deficient areas in the Japanese-occupied areas and release the grain on the spot.
If you want food, you have to accept their high interest rates.
It’s fine if you don’t accept it, as long as you don’t go to get the food, after all, the interest will be paid later, and you don’t want it now.
Fang Shiyi believed that those people who had no way to survive would definitely borrow. If they did not borrow, they would starve to death. No matter how high the interest was, they would survive.
After that, talk about it later.
This time, Alchemist Yi received a secret order from Shi Yuanheng. There are families who sell their children and daughters, and Shi Yuan Trading Co., Ltd. fully accepts them.
Buy these children, send them to Shanghai, and let them work.
This year, there is no grain harvest, and the people can't even feed themselves, let alone their children. Chu Lingyun accepted their children, seemingly making them work, but in fact, Hai was saving them.
Not only work, but also teach them to read.
The more you read, the more you can do in the future.
They are not hired child laborers, but bought by Shiyuan Trading Company, and the name belongs to Shiyuan Trading Company's private property.
Since it is private property, it is natural to make them as capable as possible, so that they can create better value in the future.
It's not hired workers, Shiyuan Trading Company will not exploit them too seriously, and they don't have wages anyway.
Taking advantage of this, Shi Yuanheng was able to save many children of the common people.
The younger ones are raised first, and they do small things, while the older ones learn to read and write. Later, the Red Party will arrange people to come in and educate them quietly.
These people can even be said to be their reserve force.
Not only in the Japanese-occupied area, but Chu Lingyun in the Guotong area would also do the same.
Boss Dai will help him buy people and send them to work in Chongqing. Boss Dai will benefit from every person he buys, and he is happy to do so.
In Boss Dai's heart, buying these children saved them, and he should be grateful. As for how Chu Lingyun would use these children and whether they would be exhausted to death, Boss Dai didn't even think about it.
A person as shrewd as Chu Lingyun would definitely not be able to lose money.
"Team leader, Zhang Tinghu went out of the city alone many times. I inquired outside the city, but he didn't have the place he mentioned. I suspect that he went out of the city to meet someone secretly."
Shen Hanwen came to Chu Lingyun's office to report. Zhang Enlong's subordinates were investigating. Now he focused on investigating Zhang Tinghu.
Although Zhang Tinghu is only 19 years old, there are many more doubts about him than his father.
"Immediately find out where he went and who he met."
Chu Lingyun ordered, what is Zhang Tinghu doing sneaking out of the city?Shen Hanwen's guess was right, he might have met someone secretly.
No matter who you meet, you must check it out.
If it was a spy, it happened to be caught, unless he figured out what was going on, Chu Lingyun would not let his sister have anyone who threatened her.
"Yes."
Shen Hanwen took the command, and he didn't ignore Zhang Tinghu because he urinated. In fact, Zhang Tinghu is not young, and there are some young players in their military command who are eighteen or nineteen years old.
Zhang Tinghu was known as a child prodigy, and Shen Hanwen never underestimated him.
It is not easy to investigate where Zhang Tinghu went out of the city before, and it has been so long, it needs enough patience.
Shen Hanwen personally led people to investigate, took Zhang Tinghu's photo out of the city, and specifically asked the local people outside the city to ask. He didn't ask whoever he met, but only asked the older people with families.
These people have always been in the local area, have families and mouths, and give them benefits and then warn them, they dare not speak nonsense to the outside world.
If you talk too much, you may cause a big disaster.
Now that the army is in chaos, they have no place to run.
In order to avoid causing trouble to the family, they generally keep their mouths shut.
As long as they are not big mouths, Shen Hanwen will not care about them.
In this way, they asked one by one around the city. It’s okay if they haven’t seen anything, and it’s fine if they can provide useful clues. After five days of continuous investigation, Shen Hanwen finally asked someone who had seen him.
With the first one, it's much easier to find the next one.
Shen Hanwen asked all the way, and finally found the place where Zhang Tinghu went.
Twenty miles outside Chongqing city, in a town.
It used to be a small village, but after the war there were a lot of people from outside, it gradually became a market town. Now there are more than 3000 people in the town, but only a few hundred people are locals.
The village expanded into a town, and even had a mayor and police.
Another company of soldiers was stationed nearby.
The people in the town spontaneously built a layer of fence outside, the city wall cannot be built, otherwise this is a small town.
This town is the only way from Chengdu to Chongqing. In addition to more than 3000 permanent residents, there are also many temporary residents. In a small town, there are four chariot shops.
"Captain, the population flow here is too big. We asked two locals to ask, but none of them have seen Zhang Tinghu."
The team members soon came back to report that they were not members of the combat situation team, but members of the Operation Division [-] of the Operation Department.
The four action subjects are the previous four action groups.
When Chu Lingyun went to Shanghai, all the members of the Fourth Operations Division were taken away. After the military command was upgraded, He Nian rebuilt the Fourth Operations Division. Except for the section chief, several team leaders and team leaders returned to Chongqing from the War Situation Division.
Every time Chu Lingyun came back, it was mostly people from the fourth department of action.
The chief of the section is an honest person, most of the people in the fourth section of the operation regard Chu Lingyun as an idol, and Shen Hanwen uses them as if he uses his own people.
"Bring me one of the town's ruffians."
Shen Hanwen thought for a while, and immediately gave an order. There is a mayor in the town, and there are also police officers. If anyone knows the town best, it must be the police and local ruffians.
The police are on the bright side, and people on the street know them very well. If they ask important clues, it will be difficult to control people.
The gangsters are different. These gangsters are drunk now and now, and they want to be chic when they have money. No one will care if they go out for a few days.
"Yes."
The subordinates responded quickly, and not long after, a ruffian was brought over by them, his face full of panic.
"Where are some good guys, if there is something for you in Lujia Town, just ask, and my brother will definitely help you."
The hooligan clasped his fists and asked cautiously, Shen Hanwen and the others were wearing plain clothes, there were quite a few of them, and they were big and big. He didn't know the way of these people, so he would be full of worries.
"Very well, it's useful for you now."
Shen Hanwen was not polite, and showed Zhang Tinghu's photo to the gangsters: "Have you seen this person?"
The hooligan was stunned when he saw the photo, rolled his eyes, and then shook his head: "No."
"Call me."
Shen Hanwen said lightly, and his subordinates immediately dragged the ruffian aside, pulled out the belt as a whip, and whipped it hard.
They are a little far away from the town, no matter how loud the hooligans shout, they will not be heard.
Even if someone passing by heard it, they would not dare to come and meddle in their own business.
"Stop beating, I said, I have seen, several officials, please forgive me."
The ruffian was whipped to death and kept begging for mercy, Shen Hanwen had someone bring him in front of him.
"Didn't you say you haven't seen it, why do you say you have seen it now?"
Shen Hanwen asked coldly, and the hooligan cried and replied, "I didn't know you would hit him after asking. I have met him, but he belongs to Teacher Lu, so I dare not offend Teacher Lu."
"Teacher Lu?"
Shen Hanwen frowned. It used to be called Lujia Village, but now it is called Lujia Town. Originally, everyone in the village was surnamed Lu.
Is this Mr. Lu a local?
"That's right, Mr. Lu is very knowledgeable, everyone admires him, and Mr. Lu knows kung fu, he is very powerful, and he is ruthless enough. He has a good relationship with the mayor of the town. The police captain listens to him. The person you are talking about is his." A student, it is said that he is from a wealthy family in the city, and he has been here several times."
The hooligans are much more honest, so there is no need to ask and take the initiative to explain.
As soon as Shen Hanwen took out the photo, he knew that the other party was not from the Dao, but an official person. Generally, people on the Dao would not ask directly with a photo.
Even if they are looking for someone, they will first tell the reason and clarify the matter.
Only officials would do that.
Teacher Lu is very powerful in the town, he didn't want to offend, so he didn't dare to admit it.
But he didn't expect that the other party would beat him without saying a word, and the whip was for nothing.
"Tell me the specific situation of Mr. Lu."
Shen Hanwen asked again, he didn't know how to look at micro-expressions like Chu Lingyun, but the eyeballs of the ruffian were so obvious that not even a fool could see the abnormality.
After the fight, he really got the result he wanted.
Now at least he knows who Zhang Tinghu is looking for.
"Teacher Lu is not a local, he just came here two years ago..."
"Not a local, why is his surname Lu?"
Shen Hanwen's spirit was shaken, and the local ruffian looked at him in a daze: "His surname is Lu."
"Go on."
It's fine if he's not a local. He was influenced by his subconscious mind before, thinking that the people surnamed Lu in Lu's town were the original locals.
"Teacher Lu is very knowledgeable. When he came to the town, he went to the school to teach students, and the fees were very low. Many people respected him. Later, I don't know how he got on the line of the mayor. The mayor went to school in the city. All the children called over and asked Teacher Lu to teach."
The hooligan slowly told about Teacher Lu's situation.
Teacher Lu is not too old, he is 35 years old this year, it is said that his hometown is Beiping, and he used to teach at Yenching University.
Later, when Beiping fell, Teacher Lu didn’t want to work in the Japanese-controlled area all the time. He first went to Xi’an for a while, and had a bad relationship with his colleagues there, so he came down to Chongqing in a fit of anger.
