Xiao Wuzi put Bai Xue on the back seat, and Han Laoliu let her pillow on his lap. The little girl still didn't wake up. It seemed that the Japanese had given her some medicine. Xiaowuzi started the car and drove back to the Bai family compound on Xiaonan Street. The car bumped along the way, waking up the sleeping Bai Xue, but he was still in a daze.
When Xiao Wuzi carried her on his back again, Bai Xue recognized him in a daze. When she found out that the person carrying her was Xiao Wuzi, the hands hugging Xiao Wuzi's neck tightened.
Xiao Wuzi felt hot liquid flowing on his neck. He was startled. He turned his head slightly and found that Bai Xue was crying silently. The tears flowed along her swollen face and into Xiao Wuzi's neck.
After entering the hospital, Xiao Wuzi first carried Bai Xue into her bedroom. Bai Jiu and the eldest wife and concubine all followed in, greeting the daughter who had just been put down. In fact, what parents are most worried about at this time is the innocence of their children. When they saw Bai Xue's clothes, they all breathed a long sigh of relief.
Xiaowuzi quietly retreated, leaving some space for her family to talk privately.
When Bai Jiuye returned to the main room, Han Laoliu handed him something. It was a ledger, which was found in the safe of the Yamazaki family. There were not many belongings in it, just a few large yellow croakers, but the ledger could be stored easily. Being so secretive must be useful.
Han Laoliu knows everything except being illiterate, and he also knows how to open a safe.
Bai Jiuye flipped through his account book and excitedly patted Han Laoliu on the shoulder, making him grin.
"Great, Sixth Brother, this thing is so useful. With it, we won't be afraid of that Yamazaki. I can litigate with him to the emperor."
Han Laoliu's one-time thief actually saved the lives of his family. Otherwise, with the immoral behavior of the Japanese, they would have found various excuses to destroy his family.
The next day, Bai Jiu released Fatty Liang and chatted with him for a long time. After Fatty Liang returned, there was no more movement, and Yamazaki never came to trouble him again.
Xiaowuzi and the others were really tired. They had just returned from the train during the day and then worked hard all night. The two great guys couldn't bear the torment. They slept at home for a full day and only woke up at night because they were hungry.
Bai Jiuye ordered good wine and food for them at the big restaurant, giving them a good meal.
The next day, Bai Jiuye called Xiao Wuzi and Er Niu and asked them to put on police uniforms and go to Xinjing with him. This time they drove there, but he did not let Xiao Wuzi drive, but asked Lao Lin to drive. Xiaowuzi and Erniu acted as bodyguards.
Xiaowuzi discovered that he and Changchun were really close to each other. He had been running back and forth here over the past year. He had only been away for a few days and then came back.
Cars run faster than trains these days, so they entered Xinjing before it got dark. Bai Jiu was an official, so there was a natural process for receiving officials, so they stayed in the top hotels in Xinjing. Xiao Wuzi and It was the first time for Er Niu to live in this shockingly clean place, so they were a little uncomfortable.
After a night of comfortable but not very solid sleep, I woke up the next day feeling exhausted, as if I had done a tiring job.
When they arrived in Xinjing, Xiao Wuzi took the initiative to take over the steering wheel, because he was much more familiar with this place than Lao Lin, and he knew almost all the streets in this city by name.
First, Master Bai Jiu wanted to go to the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development to report on his work. The Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development was on the Zhisheng Road. Xiao Wuzi found it easily. After entering the hospital, Master Bai Jiu did not ask them to follow him. Instead, he went to the office building and asked The three of them were waiting in the car.
In the afternoon, I went to Xingyun Road near the palace. This road is very smooth. Maybe it is for the emperor’s face?
There were many small courtyards on the roadside. When they arrived at the entrance of one courtyard, Bai Jiuye asked Xiao Wuzi to park the car here and led them in.
It turns out that this time it was a private matter. This was the eldest wife's natal brother's house. The eldest wife's nephew was very disobedient. He had not listened to the family since he was a child. When he was asked to go east, he would go to the west. When he was asked to beat the dog, he would chase the chicken.
This time something unexpected happened, and he decided to shave his head and become a monk.
But the problem is that he is not married yet, he is still single, and he has five sisters, and he is the only male. If he becomes a monk, his family will be extinct.
His parents were so angry that they called his aunt and asked his uncle, an official, to come and persuade him.
When relatives come, of course they have to eat seven plates and eight bowls. Especially the Manchus, who are very polite. If my aunt’s family doesn’t treat people well, they can hold the table.
The eldest young master came and greeted Bai Jiuye politely and said: "Greetings to uncle." Bai Jiuye nodded and said: "Get up, I won't let anyone worry about it every day. .”
The eldest young master stood up and looked to the side, his jaw almost dropped. The little fifth son opposite also had his mouth open and his eyes wide open with a look of disbelief on his face.
"Brother Jin Liang?" "Xiao, Xiao Wuzi?"
This was the first sentence between the two of them.
Bai Jiuye said: "Do you know each other?"
Xiaowuzi said: "Brother Jin Liang taught me how to drive."
Jin Liang was very happy. He directly said hello to his parents and uncle and dragged Xiao Wuzi and Er Niu away, saying that we young people were nagging.
When he got to his study, he asked the servants to put wine and food on another table for them, and then he picked up the wine jug and poured wine for Xiao Wuzi and the others.
Xiao Wuzi introduced Er Niu to him as his adopted brother, and told Er Niu that this was Brother Jin Liang, a good buddy.
Erniu shook hands with Jin Liang and said, "Hello, Brother Jin Liang."
Jin Liang tilted his head and asked, "Are you from Shandong? Where are you from?"
Er Niu was stunned by his question, not because of the content, but because the boy spoke with a smooth Jiaodong accent. Just hearing this sentence, outsiders must have thought that he was from eastern Shandong.
Erniu was stunned for a moment before he said, "He's from Weihaiwei." Originally, Erniu's accent had changed a lot since he had been in Northeast China for a year, and he could already speak Northeastern dialect. Only occasionally would he express one or two accents from his hometown. Jin Liang was able to recognize the approximate location of his hometown after just one sentence, which was really impressive.
The three of them started drinking. Xiao Wuzi and Niu Shang didn't drink well. They didn't dare to drink hard. They just sipped and chatted.
Jin Liang was obviously more interested in Er Niu than Xiao Wuzi, and kept asking Er Niu how he came. Er Niu glanced at Xiao Wuzi, but before Xiao Wuzi could speak, Jin Liang took over the conversation.
"You don't have to look at him. I already know his identity, so you don't have to be afraid. Just tell the truth."
Xiaowuzi also nodded in approval.
Erniu was knocked unconscious by a shell during a battle. When he woke up, he was already in a prisoner of war camp. He was then sent to Hebei by the Japanese and then to the Northeast. He also had a narrow escape from death along the way.
In fact, Jin Liang was more interested in his identity and asked him a lot about the Eighth Route Army. Finally, Jin Liang said, "Can you take me with you? I want to join the Eighth Route Army."
Xiao Wuzi said with a smile: "Brother Jin Liang, look at us, we are all precarious people who have nowhere to live. If you follow us, you may not be dead one day. What do you want to do if you don't have to worry about food and clothing?"
Jin Liang said: "I just want the common people not to be oppressed." After saying this, Erniu and Xiaowuzi nodded in praise.
Jin Liang added: "It's okay if you don't take me with you. Maybe one day I will go to Guanli and Yan'an by myself."
In fact, this is also Xiao Wuzi's wish.
So Xiao Wuzi said: "Brother Jin Liang, let's take care of the important things. If there is nothing else, we will go to Guanli together. I have promised you here first, but don't be anxious."
Jin Liang said: "Can I not be anxious? This family forces me to go on various blind dates every day and force me to get married. When I say I become a monk, I am just trying to scare them. People like me who become a monk will not want me." After saying this, he laughed. .
After drinking for a while, Xiaowuzi asked Jin Liang, do you know where Sister Yun went? Sister Yun ran away with someone. "
Unexpectedly, Jin Liang nodded and said: "I know, I have known it for a long time. That person is Mr. Guan, who is a teacher in the school. I investigated them when we were engaged at home. Later, Mr. Guan was instigated by the Japanese to rebel. , you happened to be here at that time, and I would often remind Liu Yun to leave that person, oh! I can’t help it." After saying that, his eyes dimmed.
These words completely subverted Xiao Wuzi's understanding of him. He turned out to be such a shrewd person.
Xiao Wuzi hesitated for a while, but still told him the news of Liu Yun's death. Fortunately, Jin Liang was not too sad, but said: "Actually, I have guessed that it will end like this. This is destined by her character. It's a tragedy. She is the kind of person who puts love first and sacrifices everything for love. Such people will definitely become artists if they engage in art, but if they engage in revolution..." Jin Liang shook his head at this point, raised his glass and drank another. Then he sighed again.
They drank until very late. When Bai Jiuye saw that the young people were chatting quite speculatively, he didn't bother them and stayed in Jin Mansion without leaving. The husband and wife of the Jin family saw that it was rare for their son to have a friend who was so close to him, so they were relieved that their son would probably never become a monk.
The next day, Xiao Wuzi said goodbye to Jin Liang and drove Bai Jiuye to the Ministry of Justice. The Ministry of Justice was not far from their Ministry of Agriculture, but on Shuntian Street.
Master Bai Jiu is here to file a complaint, and that Yamazaki must be punished, otherwise these bastards will try every possible means to frame you until they torture you to death.
Xiao Wuzi and Er Niu Lao Lin drove into the compound again and waited for Master Bai Jiu outside.
The compound was quite lively with cars and people coming and going, even though the Ministry of Justice was a very serious place.
Erniu and Xiaowuzi were both wearing police uniforms and were not conspicuous in the courtyard because there were many people wearing police uniforms.
After a while, several cars came in from outside and a group of people got out. From a distance, most of them were wearing black police uniforms, and there were a few people in khaki Japanese military uniforms in the middle.
These people all have high military and police ranks. Wherever they pass by, people in police uniforms will stand at attention and salute.
