Chapter 225 I came here to worship you as my teacher
The next day, the Wu Mansion welcomed two important guests.
First, several teams of military police surrounded the Wu residence from top to bottom.
Everyone who was queuing at the door waiting to see Yu Shuai was driven away.
The servants on guard were all controlled and their guns were taken away. Anyone who dared to resist was surrounded by the military police and hit with the butts of their guns, then dragged onto a truck and taken to an unknown place.
The doorman was terrified and quickly sent a servant in to tell the master.
Old Wu was drawing in his study when the servant ran outside, "General! General! A lot of military police have come and surrounded our house. The guards have all put down their guns. What's going on? General, you have to make a decision."
After hearing this, Old Wu inside let out a long sigh, put down his brush, picked up a towel to wipe his hands, walked to the door, and ordered, "Tell the women in the back house to stay in the house and call Zhizhong, Qian'er and Kun'er."
Old Wu had spent his whole life in the military and once held an honorable position, but he had one regret: he never had children of his own.
Later, he adopted his brother's child Wu Zhizhong as his stepson.
Fortunately, this stepson is down-to-earth and filial, and has always been serving Old Wu. Old Wu treats him as his own son and loves his two grandsons very much.
Not long after, the son brought his two grandsons to the study and greeted their father.
Old Wu sat at the Eight Immortals Table, looking at his descendants, and said calmly: "My family is going to be in trouble. If they only want to trouble me, then you can all seek a way out. If they are determined to make things difficult for our family, then even if it means destroying both of us, no one can become a traitor. Do you understand this principle?"
Wu Zhizhong knelt down and kowtowed to Old Wu. Since he was a child, Old Wu had not allowed him to go to a foreign school. Instead, he hired a teacher to teach him at home and made him study the Four Books and Five Classics. Therefore, Wu Zhizhong was a gentleman.
"Father, please rest assured. I have been taught by you about this family and country since I was young. I will never covet the glory of the moment and do anything that would bring shame to our ancestors. If you are in trouble, I will never live alone!"
The two little grandsons were only in their teens, and had just reached the age where they became sensible. They also knelt on the ground, with tears in the eyes of the little grandson.
Wu Ziyu sighed in his heart.
"Forget it. What's the point of living alone? This whole family still depends on you. Anyway, even if the Japanese are arrogant and domineering, they dare not rashly kill me. Otherwise, who else can they win over from these Beiyang old friends?"
This is the truth. The old people are all dead. Wu Ziyu is now a big banner with students and former officials all over the world. Even if he ruined the Japanese's good deeds, no matter how much the Japanese hate him, they will probably think twice before taking action against him.
After all, killing him would be useless and might even bring some negative consequences.
As we were talking, a car came to the door and stopped steadily.
Two people got off. The one on the right was Naoto Matsuzaki, and the one on the left was younger. He was not wearing a military uniform but a suit, and looked very smart.
Colonel Matsuzaki stepped forward and said with a smile, "Please inform them that the commander-in-chief of the Military Police Command, Naoto Matsuzaki, and his old friend Yu Marshal are here to visit."
The waiter thought he was doomed, it turned out that it was Qi Ying's grandson who came, and now all the commanders-in-chief have come, my general might not be able to cope this time.
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but feel sad.
Thinking back to when the general was in power in Zhongjing, he worked as a tea waiter. The general had many soldiers and generals under his command, and he stirred up the situation. Even the foreign newspapers were reported several times. Envoys from various consulates came to visit him, and they all treated him with great respect.
Now, a chief of the gendarmerie headquarters actually dared to have his men surround the Wu Mansion.
It makes people sigh.
The waiter bowed his head and forced a smile, "I'm sorry, please sit down for a moment, I'll go and pass it on."
He ran through the second courtyard, passed through the flower hall, and arrived at the study in the fourth courtyard.
"General, General! Here comes the commander of the Military Police Headquarters and a Japanese. They say they are your old friends and they have come to visit you. Do you want to meet them?"
Wu Ziyu stood up and said, "Yes, why not? Invite them to the flower hall to serve tea."
The waiter rushed back and invited Naoto Matsuzaki and Masujiro Okano to the flower hall and served them two cups of tea.
Wu Ziyu hadn't been seen for a long time, but Colonel Matsuzaki was always smiling and very patient.
After adding water to the tea bowl twice, Wu Ziyu slowly came out from the back without saying hello to Colonel Matsuzaki and sat down on the official hat chair.
Okano Masujiro quickly stood up and saluted, "Okano Masujiro greets the Marshal!"
Wu Ziyu took a sip of the tea bowl slowly, then said, "Who was it I thought? It turned out to be Okano. When you were in my service, you didn't seem so powerful. Now, you have surrounded my house and beaten my guards. So, this is a big gift you gave me after not seeing you for many years, huh?"
At the end, Marshal Yu's eyes were wide open and his tone was full of dissatisfaction. He brought out the heroic spirit he had when he conquered the Central Plains in the past, and naturally there was an indescribable momentum there.
Naoto Matsuzaki looked at him with interest.
Before coming to Peiping to serve as commander-in-chief, Senior Toushanman once told himself that Wu Ziyu was a tiger, but this tiger was no longer strong. He only had the aura but no terrifying fangs or sharp claws.
Okano Masujiro didn't say anything, but Colonel Matsuzaki spoke up.
"Mr. Wu, please forgive me. This is necessary protection for the Wu Mansion. I personally ordered it. As for your guards, I want to correct them. To be precise, they should be your servants. Some of them hindered our military duties. I just asked them to teach them a lesson. Mr. Wu, don't worry."
Okano Masujiro quickly said, "Marshal Yu, this is Colonel Naoto Matsuzaki, the commander-in-chief of the Peking Military Police Headquarters. He heard that you are well-read and he is fascinated by Chinese culture, so he came to you to become his disciple."
Wu Ziyu said calmly: "No need, I don't accept students."
Colonel Matsuzaki smiled and said, "Chinese people are very particular about etiquette. Mr. Wu probably thinks I am not polite. I wonder how many people are there in Mr. Wu's family? Are there any elderly or children? I can prepare some gifts for you. In addition, these two teams of military police will stay in the Wu Mansion to protect Mr. Wu's safety. I am sincere, please accept me."
Wu Ziyu's chest heaved with anger and he felt the blood boiling up in his mouth, but he forced himself to hold it back.
He had expected that the Japanese would threaten him with his family, but Matsuzaki's straightforwardness still made him see the ugly face of the Japanese.
After a long silence, Wu Ziyu laughed bitterly, "Okay, since you want to learn how to behave, I will accept you."
Colonel Matsuzaki smiled and said, "Mr. Okano, you and Mr. Wu should have a lot to talk about. I will take my leave and go to prepare the gift for your apprenticeship. By the way, I will hold a reception here in a few days, and Mr. Wu will have to say a few words. Mr. Okano used to be Mr. Wu's consultant, so why don't you contact Mr. Wu about this matter?"
Back then, Toushan-kun promised Wu Ziyu 100,000 guns and millions of dollars, but he still couldn't buy him off. But today, it seems that's all he has.
Touyama-kun still hasn't found his weakness!
