"Yes, the entire plan was arranged by me."
Meng Shaoyuan said very calmly: "Although you also embezzled and stole gold, you are just a thief. I am different, I am a big thief! What I am eyeing is not just this little gold.
Now that you have discovered the truth, what can you do? Report me? "
"I'm going to report you. I must report you." Fuzhong Jingze started to panic obviously: "The gold I stole is not punishable by death, but you are different. I surrender. I still have a chance. I There is still a chance to survive!"
Funaka Keizawa knew very well that compared with Taniguchi Shibu's crimes, the things he had done were not that big of a deal!
"Really? Don't forget, you are my accomplice!"
Meng Shaoyuan said slowly: "Once I am caught, I will bite you to death. You carefully planned the whole incident. You had enough preparation time during the long time you were in Manila.
From the beginning to the end, you were the one operating it. I was never present at the place where the gold was stolen. I have been checking with Jiangguchi and Hong on the dock supplies. Do you think others will believe you or me? "
At this moment, Fuzhong Jingze's face turned pale, and he no longer knew what to do.
Taniguchi Shibu picked himself clean, but pushed Fuzhong Keizawa to the front desk.
Of course, just such a threat is not enough to make Fuzhong Jingze bow his head. Therefore, Meng Shaoyuan quickly calmed down and said, "Mr. Fuzhong, what are you worried about there? I have already made arrangements.
We successfully moved the gold to a safe place without anyone noticing, and no one would know we did it. Mr. Fuzhong, just imagine, twelve cartloads of gold! "
The corners of Fuzhong Jingze's mouth twitched.
This is a very heartwarming feeling.
Meng Shaoyuan was already sure: "No one will find out. Once exposed, I will be more scared than you. But I am sure that my plan is foolproof.
The empire's situation on the battlefield is very unfavorable, and we will receive orders to blow up the tunnels at any time. By then, who knows how much gold is hidden in those tunnels? "
yes.
Fuzhong Jingze's heart also started to move.
This is simply a mistake!
"When the war is over, there are only two outcomes." Meng Shaoyuan continued: "The empire has won the final victory, and we can calmly transport the gold away.
In other words, the empire was unfortunately defeated, what can we do? Nor will we be judged. You can wait until the situation stabilizes, and move away the gold bit by bit like a mouse moving!
Mr. Fuzhong, the days after the defeat will be miserable. As long as there is a little gold in it, it will be enough for us to have food and clothing. Even if we can't move away in this life, we still have our son and our grandson! "
Fuzhong Jingze let out a long breath: "Taniguchi-kun, are you really sure that you won't be exposed?"
"I'm sure, I said that once exposed, my ending will be more miserable than yours." Meng Shaoyuan replied seriously: "We are on the same front."
Fuzhong Jingze felt relieved: "But there is another problem. The entire Manila is blocked and we cannot leave at all. Once we all die here, who can we tell the secret of gold?"
"I have already considered this."
Meng Shaoyuan looked solemn: "There are some things I can tell you now. There will be an imperial ship coming to Manila in the name of humanitarianism. That is your only chance to leave."
Fu Zhong Jingze immediately heard something: "Me? What about you?"
"I received a death order from His Excellency the Prince to monitor the explosion of all tunnels and not to leave early."
Meng Shaoyuan looked desolate: "So, I am the one who most hopes that the empire will win the final victory. Otherwise, I will either die here or be thrown into prison.
But you can rest assured, Mr. Fuzhong, that before the ship arrives, I will use all the rights in my power to get you on board. "
Fuzhong Jingze still didn't quite understand: "Taniguchi-kun, you worked so hard to get gold, what good does it do to you?"
"After I received the order and arrived in the Philippines, I knew that I could no longer leave." Meng Shaoyuan said calmly: "You don't understand me, Mr. Fuzhong, I must force myself to do this.
I come from a family with a long history, going all the way back to the Sakuto Edo period. Later, my family fell into decline. Several generations of the Taniguchi family worked hard to revive the family's reputation, but we all failed without exception. The only thing we can do is gain the trust of His Excellency the Prince.
Does Your Excellency Prince really trust me? Maybe, but he is a high-ranking prince, and I am just a dog beside His Excellency the Prince!
When the war is over, His Excellency the Prince and the nobles will have countless ways to escape punishment. They can still live a life of fine clothing and fine food. What about us? Who cares whether we live or die?
The efforts of generations of the Taniguchi family will be completely wiped out. We never had a chance to make a comeback. I am not willing to give in, not willing to give in!
But with this batch of gold, it is different. The hope of the revival of our Taniguchi family lies in this batch of gold. Even if I die, even if my crimes are heinous, I will not give up this opportunity. "
Having said this, he looked at Fukuzaka Keizawa: "Therefore, I want to ask you something. I will tell you where the gold is hidden, and when you return to Japan safely, find my family and them. Let’s share this huge wealth together!”
Fuzhong Jingze was stunned for a long time before asking, "Taniguchi-kun, do you trust me so much?"
"Yes, I trust you." Meng Shaoyuan stared at him: "For me, you gave me everything, forget it, let's not talk about it.
Moreover, I can tell you frankly that apart from you, I can't find anyone else in Manila that I can cooperate with and trust.
Maybe I still have doubts about you, but I have no choice, Mr. Fuzhong, I use my own life in exchange for the loyalty of a friend. I hope you won't let me down, please! "
】
At this moment, Fuzhong Jingze was really moved.
He has never been so trusted by anyone: "Please believe me, Taniguchi-kun, no matter how difficult it is, I will find your family, and I will share this wealth with them!"
"Thank you, thank you!"
Meng Shaoyuan wiped his eyes: "You don't know how happy I am now. It is my honor to know you, Mr. Fuzhong."
Of course he felt happy, and very, very happy.
Not only did he convince Fuzhong Jingze, but the plan he made was being carried out strictly in accordance with his direction!
