Chapter 920 Zhang Laosi, you are too picky!
Afterwards, Hanatani Zheng gave a speech, which was quite standard, consisting of nothing more than words about working together and jointly maintaining public order.
After he finished speaking, Kitahara Ransuke took his leave first on the grounds of being busy with official business. Lin Ze also took his leave, saying that he was busy moving.
Seeing that Lin Ze was also leaving, Kitahara Ransuke was very happy.
But Hanatani was sent all the way to the door, and Kitahara Ransuke was in a bad mood again.
It's like riding a roller coaster.
That night, Lin Ze summoned Qingshuihao to Peking.
This guy was also a ruthless person. Since there was no car at night, he drove a car by himself to travel at night. There were no highways in those days. Fortunately, the road between Beijing and Tianjin was still okay. Even so, he arrived in the late night, waited at the gate of Lin's house until the next morning, and then asked to see him directly.
Lin Ze saw that Qingshui Hao was really brainwashed. He used the loyalty detector and the index was as high as 99. It was estimated that if Lin Ze asked him to commit suicide now, he would slit his own throat without hesitation.
What else to say? He immediately asked Qingshui Hao to sit down and have breakfast together.
Qing Shuihao said he was unwilling to do anything. "Excuse me, I have long regarded you as the master of the family. I am just a retainer. How can a retainer eat at the same table with the master of the family?"
I have to say that the Japanese's system of hierarchy saved Lin Ze a lot of trouble.
Lin Ze asked someone to bring him a small table and gave him some soy milk, fried dough sticks and other things.
Just this, Qingshui Hao was moved to tears.
"Qingshui, congratulations! I've already made arrangements to promote you to Major and send you to Peking as the head of the counterintelligence department. Remember, you must report to Minister Kitahara frequently and take on the responsibility of counterintelligence. Do you understand?"
Upon hearing this, Qingshui Hao kowtowed to the ground again, "I haven't done anything, yet I've received your grace so many times..."
"Okay, we're all on the same page. Don't kneel all the time. Sit down and talk. Be smart in Peking and take control of the Counterintelligence Department. If anyone doesn't cooperate with you, tell Minister Kitahara."
"Yes! I will compile all the matters, big or small, into a book. Director Niu, please give it to you for your review."
Lin Ze nodded. "You're so thoughtful. Okay, let's eat. After dinner, I'll take you to handle the paperwork. Oh, and by the way, I'm moving tomorrow. Come have a drink too. I'll introduce you to the people in the Secret Service Department."
"Hayi!"
............
East Gate.
This street is several times more prosperous than before, with people doing business and sightseeing and shopping.
There is no need to worry about three hands here. The combat effectiveness of the patrol station at Dongbianmen is very strong. There are many people and all kinds of weapons. Everyone is equipped with a gun. No thief dares to act rashly here.
There are several tea stalls on the roadside. The tables, chairs and benches are all arranged neatly and no one dares to cross the line. Such order makes the stalls look neat and clean, which makes the customers feel comfortable.
There is a pergola above the tea stall. When the weather is hot, many people drink tea here to cool off.
One of them was a man in his fifties, wearing a small cotton jacket with his shirt open, eating walnuts and cracking melon seeds, chatting animatedly with everyone.
"You're still talking about Master Lin. Let me tell you, I knew him when Master Lin was the patrol captain here!"
Some people didn't believe it. "Zhang Laosi, although you've become very successful in the past two years and have many disciples, you're exaggerating when you say you know Master Lin, isn't that a bit too much?"
Zhang Laosi was none other than the craftsman who built the awning for Lin Ze's courtyard.
He has been really lucky in the past two years, and his business has been getting better and better. Later, he not only brought a group of apprentices to build awnings for people, but also opened two small shops, selling wooden strips, gauze nets and the like, and also made screen doors and windows for others. His business is pretty good. When he is not busy, he lets his apprentices watch the shop, and he comes to drink tea and brag.
Zhang Laosi is not afraid of others believing him completely, but he is afraid that others will not believe him. When he hears someone refute him, he gets excited.
"You still don't believe me, hey! Let me tell you, do you know who introduced me to Master Lin? I'll scare you to death, it was the current Detective Captain Wang Juncai! I'm going to say something a bit disrespectful, just keep this to yourself, don't spread it around. This Captain Wang was called Wang Xiaoshou back then, running errands for Master Lin. He didn't hold any official position at all. He personally approached me and asked me to build a shed for Master Lin. Master Lin even treated me to a meal at the time!"
Everyone was very interested in what he said.
Isn’t this more exciting than listening to storytelling?
"Zhang Laosi, I'll treat you to some Biluochun tea. Tell us what happened to Master Lin at the East Gate."
"Who cares about your tea? I'm just chatting for fun. Don't even mention the East Gate back then! The roads were dilapidated, and there were gutters everywhere. When it rained, the streets were filled with stinking water. On a sunny day, the thin dust could cover your face. Later, when Master Lin came to be the patrol chief, he did three things. The first was to clean up the team. Any patrol officer who dared to show his qualifications or background to him was fired or imprisoned. No one dared to make trouble anymore. The second was to standardize the rules. In the past, everyone came to collect money, and the people suffered terribly! After Master Lin came, the amount of money to be paid was fixed, and it was collected once a month, and no more was collected."
"Isn't that still a fee?"
"They're taking money to do things! Look at this bluestone road, look at this drainage ditch, and look at how clean the ground is. If they didn't charge money, how could it be built like this? Besides, if you ask around, have any of the people who paid been bullied? If Master Lin gets ruthless, he'd kill the Japs in the street!"
"Be careful!"
"Ahem! Those killed by Master Lin are those who undermine the co-prosperity of East Asia."
As they were chatting, a car slowly drove over and a man got out and went into the patrol station at the East Gate.
Then the whole patrol station was in an uproar!
After a while, many veteran patrolmen came out to see them off.
"Hey, who is this?"
"Could it be Master Lin?"
"No, I saw him from a distance once. Master Lin was tall and majestic, but this one is a bit thin."
Zhang Laosi said excitedly, "This is Master Niu, the head of the Lin family, the chief steward of the Assistance Bureau, and a man with great connections!"
Niu Saner came to deliver the invitations. Lin Ze was moving to a new house, and since it was in Peking, of course these old people had to be invited, just to make the party lively.
Someone next to Zhang Laosi provoked him, "Laosi, you said you knew this and that. Since this person is someone close to Master Lin, you must know him too. Why don't you say hello?"
This time, Zhang Laosi was really caught.
Although he brags a lot, he has self-knowledge. Now, what is the identity of others and what is his status?
He hesitated for a moment, and the people around him laughed at him, "Old Four is always so lively, but when he sees the real person, his true colors are revealed!"
"Yeah, that's a huge exaggeration!"
"Old Four, you pay for the tea yourself!"
"Hey, wait a minute, wait a minute, why is Mr. Niu coming this way?"
When Niu Saner got on the bus, he saw the commotion here and felt that the man with his shirt open looked familiar.
As a housekeeper, it is important to have a photographic memory and be able to remember who someone is after just a moment's thought.
So he walked over with a smile and said, "Brother Zhang, what's wrong? You're pretending not to know me when you see me. Are you looking down on me?"
Zhang Laosi had no place to put his hands and feet. Everyone around him was busy standing up, but the bench was heavy and he fell to the ground. Then, as if there was oil on the ground, he used his hands and feet to crawl several times but couldn't get up.
Niu Saner reached out to support him. Miraculously, as soon as Niu Saner extended his hand, Zhang Laosi's legs were no longer numb, his hands stopped shaking, and he stood up nimbly.
Niu San'er brushed the dirt off his clothes and handed him an invitation, "Brother Zhang, Mr. Lin is moving to a new house tomorrow. Come and have a drink and have some fun. I have to send him off to several places, so I won't be talking to you anymore. See you tomorrow!"
Everyone was dumbfounded.
Zhang Laosi was also dumbfounded and didn't even bother to say goodbye to Niu Saner.
"Fourth Master...Fourth Master! Please sit down!"
"Boss, serve tea! Serve good tea!"
"Oh, your clothes are no longer wearable. I'll buy you a new one!"
"Fourth Master, I was just too excited and said nonsense. Don't take it to heart. I'll set up a table at Cuihua Tower tonight to apologize to you..."
Zhang Laosi sat on a bench with a golden sword in his hand. The shopkeeper served him tea personally. He took the tea bowl and took a sip.
Cool!
