20 years of the Republic of China

Chapter 282: Eat both ends (additional update)

Miyata Ryuji had sinister intentions. After making the request, he still reminded him as if nothing had happened.

"Mr. Jiang, how is your insurance company's business lately? If you need any help, you can come to me at any time. We will not treat any friends who work for the imperial army badly."

Obviously, this is a test.

Use coercion and inducement to let the Jiang family do the dirty work for the investigation department.

Miyata Ryuji's eyes were fierce, always fixed on Jiang Lianheng's face, and he tried to deduce his loyalty to the imperial army from the changes in his expression.

Unexpectedly, after a long conversation with Zhang Laogeda, Jiang Lianheng had already become enlightened.

Since there was no way to confront him head-on, he simply agreed to it regardless of what the Japanese said and waited until later to make other plans.

"Hey, Mr. Miyata, thanks to the company's care, Jiang's business is pretty good." Jiang Lianheng said with a smile, "My matter, no matter how big it is, is a small matter; your matter, no matter how small, is a big deal. ! The great cause of the imperial army has been hindered, and I, Jiang, are the first to refuse! Aren’t I just a landlord? Deal with him!"

"Oh? So what are you going to do, Mr. Jiang?"

"Do you even need to ask? Just jump in and save the old boy from getting in the eyes of our imperial army!"

"Inserted?"

"Just kill."

Miyata Ryuji leaned back in his chair, shook his head and said, "I'm afraid this won't work. So many lives will easily trigger public opinion."

Jiang Lianheng couldn't help but give him a thumbs up, and said sarcastically: "How else can we talk about the benevolence and righteousness of the imperial army! They are worthy of being superior men from a civilized country. How about kidnapping the landlord's child and threatening him?" How about signing to sell the land?"

What he said became more and more like a loyal lackey, so much so that even Miyata Ryuuji couldn't help but murmur in his heart: Could it be that this kid is really willing to sacrifice his life for the imperial army?

"Well, if this is the method, you can give it a try."

"Okay, then we've settled this matter. Mr. Miyata, give me your name and leave everything to me from now on. Just sit here and wait for the good news."

Miyata Ryuji was a little suspicious, and immediately took out a piece of information from the drawer and handed it to Jiang Lianheng.

"The location is in Tutai Village, not far north of the annex. The landowner's name is Wei Yuanning. The family has three children, two girls and one boy."

Jiang Lianheng took the information, but he still didn't forget to flatter him: "Hey! It's up to you Japanese people to do things seriously and carefully. If I can catch half of the rotten fish and shrimps in my hand, I will save my life. Heartbroken."

Miyata Ryuji sneered and said, "Then I'll have to trouble Mr. Jiang."

"OK! No, it's -" Jiang Lianheng shouted in a tone of voice, "Hi! Mr. Miyata!"

After that, he turned and left the investigation department office.

……

About half an hour passed before the door was knocked again.

The previous translator walked up to the long mahogany table with a smile and said in a low voice: "Sir, I have already asked you clearly about the matter you asked me to investigate. As far as I know, the reason why Jiang Lianheng was able to be destroyed back then was The Bai family was full of people and he succeeded in stepping on Zhou Yunfu. It was not all by himself. Among them, there were more than a dozen bandits with unknown origins who sneaked in and he was able to achieve success. "

Miyata Ryuuji pondered: "So, if Miura-kun's disappearance is indeed related to Jiang Lianheng, the bandits are likely to know the situation?"

"pretty close."

"Okay, Translator Tan, follow this clue and continue the investigation. If there is a witness, he can be arrested legitimately."

"Mr. Miyata, please rest assured! His aunt Xu Ruqing was tortured so miserably back then, how could she not hate Mr. Miura in her heart?" Translator Tan said conclusively, "I can guarantee that there is definitely something wrong with this kid Jiang Lianheng! "

"If there is any problem, you will know after giving it a try." Miyata Ryuuji asked, "Did the speech and other things outside go smoothly?"

"All goes well, all goes well! Sir, just wait for the good news."

…………

In the remaining days, Jiang Lianheng used the "drag" technique to its fullest potential.

The landlords who promised to help the Japanese deal with Tutaicun, but what about the reality?

As usual every day, I should eat and drink, but I just lay down on the ground and relax like a normal person.

During this period, the translator named Tan from Miyata Ryuji came over several times to urge him. Jiang Lianheng must have sighed and expressed his bitterness and difficulties.

I sprained my ankle yesterday when I went out, and my legs are numb from squatting in the pit today. The day after tomorrow, my brothers are fighting among themselves. Sometimes they say that the journey is too far, and sometimes they say that there is no chance. In short, they use all kinds of excuses and excuses, swearing to God at every turn, and crying to prove that they are right. The emperor is loyal, but he just doesn't do practical things.

Jiang Lianheng didn't learn the skills of his seventh uncle Gongbao Nan Anqingzi, but in this aspect, he actually learned the truth.

However, if it continues like this, it will be relieved for a while, but not forever.

Even though Miyata Ryuji was just a civilian employee of Nantetsu Co., Ltd. with a low rank, he could not tolerate Jiang Lianheng's playfulness.

I tried my best to suck the milk and delayed it for half a month, which was the limit.

Immediately afterwards, business pressure followed.

Miyata Ryuji gave an ultimatum. If the matter cannot be resolved before the end of the month, there will be consequences.

Therefore, every day after dinner, Jiang and Hu, in addition to discussing how to set up an insurance company in Fengtian, would work together on countermeasures.

Zongheng Freight Insurance Company set up a store in Yingkou and spent a lot of money on socializing. The bristle business had just started, and the money back was not enough. Huifangli's business was sluggish, and he had dozens of disciples who had many mouths to use. money.

In order to save money, Hu Xiaoyan insisted on slightly renovating the original "Woyun Building" and used it as the insurance company's headquarters.

If the business can run smoothly, earnings will quickly increase.

But the Japanese were putting pressure on them, which made the young couple really difficult to move forward. However, the two of them had the same attitude towards Miyata Ryuji - they would not sacrifice their lives for the Japanese.

However, in Jiang Lianheng's view, he and the Japanese had a personal enmity. Back then, Miura Kumasuke tortured his eldest aunt Xu Ruqing like that. If he worked for the Japanese again, he would never dare to face his aunt again in his life. After his death, he would not be able to face his father and several uncles.

More importantly, Jiang Lianheng does not want to be controlled by others, which is contrary to his character.

Although he also obeyed Zhang Lao Geda's words, it was out of kindness for rescuing his aunt, and Lao Zhang had never threatened him and basically took a freewheeling attitude towards him.

Hu Xiaoyan and Jiang Lianheng came to the same conclusion, but their thoughts were completely different.

She believed that by annihilating the Bai family and killing Miura Xiongsuke, the grievances between her aunt, her father and her uncles had been settled.

The reason why she didn't work for the Japanese was because she clearly remembered the outcome of the Bai family.

In the beginning, the Bai family father and son were used as cattle and horses for Dongyang. In times of crisis, they were still treated as abandoned sons. The Jiang family could not follow this old path again.

On the other hand, since the year of 1911, national consciousness has risen rapidly, and the name of traitor has become more despised than ever before.

Hu Xiaoyan has never been to school and does not understand what national consciousness is.

But perhaps it was related to her physical disability. Hu Xiaoyan had always been sensitive. She was still keenly aware of this invisible change just from the news in the newspaper and the market knowledge brought by Si Fengkou.

Especially not long ago, Fang Datou betrayed the country and borrowed money, which caused a lot of criticism in the newspapers and among the people.

When the Bai family worked for the Japanese, they didn't look down upon them too much, but now the situation is completely different.

"Xiaodao, you are the face of the family. Dad said that if anything is dirty in a house, the face cannot be dirty."

Hu Xiaoyan leaned on the bedside and said worriedly: "If you really work for the Japanese, once you are firmly established, our family will definitely be isolated by the old couple online. By then, no matter how powerful the power is, Man'er stinks, where is it?" Not welcome either.”

Hearing this, Jiang Lianheng nodded silently.

After all, since the late Qing Dynasty, the so-called Jianghu Party, in addition to deceiving and abducting men, bullying men and dominating women, and relying on "righteousness", has actually been doing two things - one is to bring down the Qing Dynasty; the other is to oppose foreigners.

In the world of martial arts, as long as you do these two things, you seem to get a get-out-of-jail-free card.

No matter how evil he was originally, there are people everywhere who are willing to praise him as a "hero".

Because of this, people in the Jianghu actually care more about being called traitors than ordinary people.

If the Jiang family dares to cross the border even half a step, the Su family will be the first to draw a clear line with them, not to mention others.

When the time comes, what else can we talk about becoming famous all over the world and joining forces?

"That's true, but who in my position wouldn't be confused?" Jiang Lianheng sighed, "I feel sorry for my father and aunt if I work for the Japanese. If I don't work for the Japanese, my family's business will not be sustainable." If we go on, if we don’t have money, we won’t have influence. If we don’t have influence online, we can only wait for others to replace us. It’s hard! It’s so damn hard!”

"If you want to help the devils, you can't really help the devils."

"This is not the most important thing. I always feel that Miyata Ryuuji still suspects that I killed Miura Kumaosuke. The less I do anything, the more suspicious he will be. If the news leaks somewhere, our whole family will be affected. Finished."

Miyata Ryuji—Hu Xiaoyan engraved this name in her heart.

"Xiaodao, do the devils really want that land?"

"It should be so. It says it's going to build a factory, but I don't know the details."

"In other words, if you can't take down the landlord surnamed Wei, the Japanese will take action yourself if they get desperate?"

"I think so. Aren't the devils always like that? If you don't want the favor, I'll give you the gun."

Hu Xiaoyan thought for a while, then sat up suddenly and said, "How about we eat both ends?"

Jiang Lianheng frowned and asked, "What do you mean?"

"I remember my father, my second uncle, and my third uncle had seven or eight spears when they were beards. Do you still remember them?"

"Remember, my dad still has a 'Shui Lianzhu'! When Uncle Qi left, he gave it back to me. It hasn't been used for many years. Didn't I ask you to put it in the basement?"

As he spoke, Jiang Lianheng suddenly understood his wife's thoughts.

"Do you want to give those guns to the landowners so they can deal with the Japanese?"

Hu Xiaoyan shook her head, but said: "What are you doing for them? He is a landlord and he is not short of money. Why not just sell it to them? Since we are staying in the city, we can't use those long guns, so we can sell them to them at a low price."

In this way, Jiang Lianheng can use "Xiang Kiln" as an excuse to have an explanation with the Japanese; at the same time, he can also let Lao He, who is open-minded online, know the Jiang family's intentions.

Once you plan it right, it's not just about killing two birds with one stone.

If in the end Miyata Ryuji himself went to forcibly expropriate the people's land and caused some accidents such as being "shot and killed by unruly people", Miura Kumasuke's hidden dangers could also be solved.

It's a good idea, but it requires extra care.

It is necessary to let people know the Jiang family's intentions, but also to guard against leaking the news to the Japanese.

Jiang Lianheng thought for a moment and finally nodded: "Although it is not the best way, this is the only way now. Hmm... Is it reliable to let Nanfeng handle this matter?"

To know and employ people, you still have to look at Hu Xiaoyan’s opinion.

"You can let Nan Feng do it. He has a kind face and is easy to talk to..."

Seeing that his wife hadn't finished speaking, Jiang Lianheng asked, "Is there anything else I need to consider?"

Hu Xiaoyan thought for a while and then said: "Call Dongfeng for me tomorrow!"
