Chapter 143 Zhou Mansion Courtyard Outside the inner gate of Zhou Mansion Courtyard in the suburbs of Beijing, wreaths were piled up, and white silk mourning banners were hung one after another, such as "I deeply mourn the anti-drug hero Zhou Dasheng!", "The voice and smile are still there, and the fame will last forever!
", "In this life, he is a good person, and he mostly works for the welfare of people's livelihood; the reincarnated hero is more energetic in the world!", "The good name will be passed down to the world, and it will stay in the hearts of the world forever; the peerless youth will be permanent, and it will be passed down through history!" etc.
Yingzi knelt in front of his father's coffin, accompanied his mother, and thanked the guests one by one.
At this time, there was a sudden commotion in the crowd. Li Xiao, who was ordered to guard Yingzi and her mother, stood on tiptoe and looked outside. He felt an inexplicable feeling of sadness and dissatisfaction in his heart. He couldn't help but tighten the handle of the short knife at his waist.
Yingzi was also alarmed, and she raised her head to follow the sound. Unfortunately, as she was kneeling, she only saw pairs of feet wearing different shoes moving around, and she felt a little uneasy and troubled in her heart.
"Oh, great hero, you died so miserably!" The voice was very familiar. It was the Japanese ambassador who recommended Zhou Dasheng to take charge of the Dongbao Cotton Mill. Dafu Naohito, he lowered his hand and lifted a handful of white
The chrysanthemums walked straight to the courtyard set up as a mourning hall, and walked towards the kneeling Yingzi with a complicated expression. She said strangely, "Although I am returning to the old place, my old friends and brothers are missing. The joys and sorrows in this world actually happened in a short period of time."
In seconds!"
Dafu Naohito did not take another look at Zhou Dasheng's body. He just symbolically lowered his noble head in less than three seconds, then turned around and faced Mrs. Zhou and Yingzi.
While Dafu Naohito bowed his head, Yingzi also kowtowed three times to his father's body. Yingzi was still kowtowing, and Dafu Naohito had already stood up straight. Accompanied by two bodyguards, he waited for Yingzi to finish kowtowing.
He stretched out his hand to shake hands with Yingzi and his mother one by one, and said inappropriately: "What a pity! Madam, sister-in-law, dear niece, you must express your condolences and accept the change! Hey, I really can't bear to tell you another thing at this time,
But, I have to say..."
Yingzi and her mother hugged each other. They were waiting expectantly, bending to listen to what the Japanese ambassador had to say. The mother and daughter lowered their heads in silence, ready to listen.
Dafu Naohito still looked at Li Xiao, who was dressed in casual clothes and was relatively unfamiliar to him, with some scruples. Then, he waved the two bodyguards to come closer, and then said to Yingzi without restraint: "This place
, Zhou Mansion, we are going to take it back because our embassy is undergoing internal maintenance, so..."
"So your sister?!" Although he knew that Mrs. Zhou and Yingzi were going to move back to their old house, Li Xiao still couldn't calm down and shouted to Dafu Naohito rashly, "Are you really good at picking dates?
Why don't you look at the situation? You're not here to express your condolences, but here to seek your life?!"
"This is a letter from our Japanese Embassy to Mrs. Zhou. You can read it. If there is anything you don't understand, ask again. The people of Dashun, who pride themselves on being a country of etiquette, won't be unreasonable?!"
Dafu Naohito did not shy away from his contempt for Li Xiao. He shouted to Li Xiao in a very blunt and substandard Chinese, "Respecting the dead is the most important thing. Young man, don't make trouble!"
Li Xiao was so angry that his teeth were itching. He pressed the handle of the short knife on his waist and could draw it out to kill at any time. However, under the stares of Dafu Naohito's two bodyguards, he looked at the kneeling Yingzi again.
With her mother, Li Xiao still gritted his teeth and restrained the urge to kill. It was so difficult for him!
After Dafu Naohito expressed the true purpose of his trip, he snorted impetuously, leaned on a cane like a mourning stick, supported a pair of bow-legged legs, and walked away without looking back under the protection of bodyguards.
There was another commotion in the mourning crowd. People were angry and tightly surrounded Dafu Naohito. However, they still wisely stepped out of a narrow path, allowing Dafu Naohito to walk out of the angry circle without any danger.
Kind-hearted people all know that no matter what, they cannot let the late Chairman Jay Chou be harassed anymore, and they cannot let the hero who worked all his life not be in peace before his death, so they suppress the anger in their hearts, and in their angry and tearful eyes,
Infused with so much sadness and sorrow, each one circled around distressedly to take another look at their anti-drug hero Zhou Dasheng! The last farewell is forever.
Behind the crowd, Yingzi, who was kneeling with her back straight, took the letter from the Japanese dog. She tore it into pieces without even looking at it, and then threw it into the brazier along with the paper money.
instantly reduced to ashes
At this time, the Minister of Dali Temple and Ke Han also came to see the hero off.
But I saw the Minister of Dali Temple holding a "Commendation Order" with the imperial seal and a posthumous "Heroic Letter" in his hands; Ke Han was holding a small package in one hand and a small package in the other.
Zhang sketched and went straight to Jay Chou's coffin
Yingzi knelt on the ground, and her mother cried sadly with her. The mother and daughter burned the paper money seriously over and over again. This is a tradition that has been followed for thousands of years!
Ke Han hung up the sketch of Zhou Dasheng that he had asked someone to copy again. Now everyone no longer had to crowd around the already small mourning hall. They finally had a concrete form of worship and all lined up.
After standing in front of the portrait, bowing and kowtowing, the husband* carried the coffin containing Zhou Dasheng's body and set out on the road.
Poor mother and daughter Zhou Tai and Yingzi were so lonely that they had almost no relatives in Kyoto. The only people who accompanied Zhou Taisheng to see him off were the employees of Toho Cotton Mill, the inspector who had just met because of the drug case, the Minister of Dali Temple, and the No. 1 in Kyoto.
Fortunately, Li Xiao and Zhang Jiadong are both capable people, so their temporary loneliness is nothing.
After burying Zhou Dasheng, he returned to the door of the villa and happened to meet Dafu Zhiren who had returned. At this moment, he was already ready and even changed the padlocks on the courtyard door.
"What's going on?" Ke Han stepped forward and asked Dafu Naohito, and then turned to Yingzi and her mother, "It seems that now we have to move whether we move or not?!"
At first glance, Dafu Naohito seems to be extremely guilty. In fact, he is worried that some unknown secrets in this courtyard will be discovered.
——Removing the bookcase in the library room on the first floor reveals an opening that can accommodate one person. Leaning down the escalator, it slowly becomes clear that there is a basement with no clearly marked exit.
There is a large amount of privately stored white powder in the basement that has not yet been transferred or sold. The white powder is wrapped in oil paper, sealed with a layer of film on the outside, and placed in piles on the shelves. Now, the big-headed ghost Saburo is blocking it.
Although Jian Feng exposed his identity and lost some, it was only a small part. For the Japanese Empire represented by Dafu Naohito, such an impact was almost negligible.
What is worth celebrating is that such a pawn has lost its momentum, which can be regarded as a good strategy for abandoning the pawn to protect the commander. Haha, it is indeed a good idea to be able to keep yourself at the level of a commander!
Unexpectedly, the arrest of Saburo Yoshida actually gave him the best protection. What a God-given opportunity!
Take advantage of the chaos to transfer and disperse this large amount of treasures as quickly as possible. This is what the Japanese government has instructed, and it must be done as soon as possible! The plan to corrode the ignorant people of Dashun is just around the corner!
——When he thought of this, Dafu Naohito couldn't help but laugh, but facing the orphaned daughter and widowed mother in front of him, facing the inspector, an ordinary employee of the Dashun Dynasty, he tried his best to pretend to be reluctant and embarrassed.
Smiling, he said sinisterly - "I really want to help Madam Sister-in-law again, but no matter what, the house over there at the embassy is old and in urgent need of renovation. What a coincidence.
In addition, the house here was temporarily assigned to your family as a benefit for the convenience of Mr. Zhou's work. For this reason, we also stationed our Japanese warriors as your bodyguards to protect you at any time.
The whole family is safe, so it is not an exaggeration to say that we are also the most benevolent and righteous people!
Now, Mr. Zhou has traveled westward, which means that our contract has ended at the same time. I am really sorry for you that I have not told you mother and daughter this until now.
I didn't dare to face Mrs. Sister-in-law, so I quietly waited for you to leave, then turned around. I really didn't want to be misunderstood by you. The reason why I put up a lock is because our people have already transported some materials...
Hey, this explanation seems very laborious and far-fetched, but we also sent people to stay here and wait for you to come back before explaining.
As for your losses, we have already prepared them. They are packed in this package, which is 10,000 taels of silver and 10,000 taels of silver notes, double insurance. I think, with this hard goods for your life,
It won’t be too difficult!”
"Haha, you're quite thoughtful!" Ke Han smiled slightly, and flattered the Japanese ambassador, and said flatteringly, "I never expected that you would rely so heavily on an employee of the Dashun Dynasty and be willing to give up.
We are very moved by spending a lot of money to solve their practical difficulties! We should try our best to recommend it to the imperial court for digestion and absorption, and encourage imitation!"
Dafu Naohito also relaxed his vigilance and replied with a smile: "If you want to solve the problem properly as soon as possible, you have to try your best to meet other people's requirements. Sometimes you have to do it out of necessity!"
"Then, Yingzi, Mrs. Zhou, you are more respectful than obedient! Accept it, this is also what I want! Since I want to solve the problem so actively and sincerely, why not be a favor?" Ke Han said.
He winked at Yingzi and signaled her to accept the compensation, and then drove the carriage himself, pulling Yingzi and her mother away.
Dafu Naohito also smiled with satisfaction and sent Ke Han and his party off.
"Japanese people who have always been stingy are surprisingly generous at this moment. There must be something fishy in this." When passing by Naohito Dafu, Ke Han clenched his fists and danced in front of his chest, and then, very soon
He smiled deeply and said politely: "The ambassador is so generous, we will see you soon!"
