Chapter 1899: Longhua Incident! (Forty-three)
"How much do you know about this Hovey Week?"
"Hovizhou is a local squire. He has a high prestige and a character in Longhua County. However, this man's ancestors have a deep relationship with the Qing royal family and have a little bit of stupidity and loyalty, so he still has a little fantasy about the puppet Manchukuo. However, on the other hand, he has no good impression of the Japanese..."
"So, can this Hovey Zhou still fight for it?"
"It's OK to reasonably be true. The Republic of China has been established for 22 years, and the people have accepted it. It's impossible to return to the feudal monarchy!"
"Tell Zhou Zhendong that we should try our best to fight for this Huo Weizhou. We should fight against Japan and save the country, and unite all the forces that can be united!" Lu Shan said.
"yes!"
"It's Huo Weizhou's son Huo Xiaoyu studying in Japan and has a close relationship with Japan. Is this relationship not easy to deal with?"
"This, let's talk about it when we fight for Huo Weizhou!" Lu Shan said, "Isn't Huo Xiaoyu in our hands now?"
"Yes, he returned to Xinglongling with the second lieutenant of the Japanese last night and was brought back by our people!"
"I understand, please give me a good greeting first!"
Xinglongling, Huo Family Courtyard.
"Master, there is only so much at home!" There were bags of grain piled up on seven or eight trucks in the yard.
“How much is still missing?”
"Thirty thrones of rice and twenty-five thrones of flour!"
"How much is left in the family?" asked Hovey Zhou.
"Master, give them all the food in the family, what will this family eat?" A group of women surrounded.
"Can you starve to death if you don't eat a meal?" Hoveyzhou said angrily.
"Master. People in the north listen to reason. We have no grudges with them recently. If they have no grudges in the past, they will not treat the young master?"
"Master, grandmas are saying that it is said that the news is that the north never oppresses the people, and the business is fair, and the people are willing to go to the north!" The old butler Huo Tongdao.
"Forget it, this can't solve the problem at all!" Hovey thought on Monday, even if he brought all the food at home, he couldn't fill the gap.
"Huo Tong, let's go!"
"Master, are you going too?"
"I don't feel at ease if I don't go!" said Hoveyzhou.
"Dad, I'll go too!" Huo Xiaoci came out from behind, and changed into a hunting military uniform, calfskin boots, an exquisite little pistol on his waist, a scarlet singing, and a heroic look. He really looked like a hero among girls.
Huo Weizhou sighed in his heart. If he did not agree with Huo Xiaoci following her, according to the girl's personality, maybe he followed her secretly. If something happened again, it would be difficult to deal with it. It would be better to follow her with her so that she would not do anything wrong!
"Okay, but you are not allowed to be troublesome, you have to listen to your father in everything!"
"I understand, I'm listening to everything to my father!"
"Then let's go!"
The letter agreed to hand over grain in a clearing outside the woods outside Xinglong Ridge at 9:30 in the morning.
Huang Dongshan and Xi Gazi are here alone. With Huo Xiaoyu here, Huo Weizhou dare not play any tricks, not to mention that Huo Weizhou has no second choice yet.
"Master, they were the two of them who delivered the letter yesterday!"
"Hello, two commanders, I am Hove Zhou, the people of Xinglongling give me a favor and recommend me as the mayor!" Hove Zhou greeted with fists.
"Mayor Huo is a trusted person, what are we looking for?"
"The food the officials want is a bit large. Although my Huo family has some food in stock, it is difficult to raise so much time. These are all the food except the food in my Huo family, and I have brought it all!"
Huang Dongshan stretched his head and looked at the grain on the carriage and nodded. He already knew that the Huo family wanted to transport the grain back from the county town, but was reported by someone, and the Japanese sent someone to investigate, so the grain transport matter naturally turned out to be ruined.
"Don't worry, Mayor Huo, we are reasonable. From the collection of grain from your Huo family, we naturally know your ability and will not force you to do things you cannot do!" Huang Dongshan said, "We collect grain to fight against Japan and the Japanese. This is a matter that has been rewarded by the country and the nation. In the future, the descendants of your Huo family will also feel honored!"
"What the commander said is that the Japanese wolfish ambitions are. Although Huo is a commoner in the countryside, he can still see it!" Huo Weizhou said timidly.
"Mayor Huo can see clearly, that's the best!" Huang Dongshan said, "So, it's best not to be a traitor. Once he becomes a traitor, everyone will be punished!"
"I understand, understand, sir, the dog son Huo Xiaoyu..."
"The son-in-law is very good. When our teacher heard that he had been studying in Japan for many years, he wanted to ask him for more days to ask him for advice. Mayor Huo is relieved!" Huang Dongshan said.
"I really don't dare to be a good person. Can the sir come back and report your safety first, and then go to visit him in person?"
"No need to be so troublesome, our teacher said that this round trip will take a lot of time, as short as three days, and as long as one thinks, the son will definitely return intact!" Huang Dongshan said.
"What the sir said is true?"
"When did we Dong Kang deceive whom we talked and did things?" Huang Dongshan said.
"What the commander said is that you are indeed trustworthy in your work. I believe it. Since this is the case, the master will take care of you on your behalf!" Hovey Zhou judged the situation. At this time, he could only make such a decision. It would be impossible to resist.
"Dad, they are perfunctory to us. Brother must be taken hostage. They will make even more excessive requests next. Do you agree or not?" Huo Xiaoci was anxious. With such an obvious excuse, Huo Weizhou couldn't tell whether he was too confused.
"Rareless, you don't have the say here!" Hovezhou's face changed and he scolded.
"father……"
"It's okay for me to teach my daughter, don't mind the two sir!"
"It's okay, Miss Huo also based on common sense speculation. We are not bandit beards, and we do things differently from them!"
"Since you are not bandits, why should you take our family's food in vain?" Huo Xiaoci asked back.
"Ms. Huo, resisting Japan and saving the country is the responsibility of every Chinese. If you have money, you will pay for it and deal with it effectively. We have not made excessive demands, at least within the scope of Lingzun's ability. Moreover, if we recruit the first time, we will not recruit the second time. This is our rule. Unless Lingzun surrenders to the Japanese and becomes a traitor, then it is not as simple as collecting grain?" Huang Dongshan explained.
"The food in our family didn't fall out of thin air. Why do you give it to you? To fight against Japan and save the country, is it necessary to use this kind of method of robbing people?"
"Ms. Huo, this is an enemy-occupied area, so we are called grain collection. If this is in our base, we don't need to come down to collect grain, and the people will take the initiative to deliver the grain!" Huang Dongshan said.
"this……"
"Because of a very simple truth, without my protection, they cannot live in peace and work, and they cannot live with dignity. It is not good to be slaves of the country. You have your father and brother who can support you in the sky, so you can't feel it, but Ling Zun and Ling are very clear!" Huang Dongshan, "It is only when you bow down in front of the Japanese that you will get your carefree life. This is a great price!"
Huo Xiaoci was stunned. Although she had read a lot of books, she was considered an intellectual woman in the new era and received education from progressive ideas. After all, she was born in a gentry family and had no worries about food and drink, and she could not understand many things.
"Dad, is what he said true?"
"Xiao Ci, this commander said it well. It feels bad to be a slave, especially to be a slave for the Japanese!" Hovey Zhou said.
"Dad, are you and your brother both becoming traitors?"
"What nonsense? How could my dad be a traitor?" Hovey Zhou said angrily, "Dad just doesn't want to be a traitor. Japanese talents are targeting me everywhere, targeting your brother!"
"Mr. Huo, don't mind, lend you a few handlebars to use?" Huang Dongshan said.
"I don't mind, please let me know if you want to use it!"
"Thank you then!" Huang Dongshan ordered, "Gazi, take the food truck first!"
After Gazi gradually took the food truck away, Huang Dongshan clasped his fists at Huo Wei on Monday: "Master Huo, there will be a date later, let's say goodbye!"
"Wait a minute, this sir, I want to go back with you!" Huo Xiaoci immediately stepped forward and stopped Huang Dongshan.
"Miss Huo, you'd better go back with Mr. Huo. This is not a joke!" Huang Dongshan said.
"Xiao Ci, come back!" Hove Zhou hurriedly shouted.
"Dad, I'll go see my brother. I want to see if what they said is true!" Huo Xiaoci said stubbornly.
"Don't go!" Hovey Zhou ordered on the horse's back in a hurry, "Come on, go and bring the lady back!"
"Driving!" But at this moment, Huo Xiaoci suddenly accelerated and chased directly in the direction of the grain convoy going far away!
"Bastard, get the lady back!" Huo Weizhou was angry and hurriedly ordered the Huo family's guards.
This sudden appearance caught Huang Dongshan off guard. Miss Huo was too willful.
"Master Huo, say goodbye!" Huang Dongshan also rode his horse and chased him.
"Baga, the Huo family's conscience is very bad!" As soon as Miyamoto received the news that the Huo family had transported grain from Xinglongling early in the morning, coupled with the disappearance of the Inamoto Lieutenant, he was very angry!
"Master, this may be a conspiracy?"
"How to say it?"
"Yesterday's Sun Sang's rumor was actually to ask Huo Xiaoyu to find an opportunity to return to Xinglongling. Once Huo Xiaoyu left the county town, we could no longer threaten the Huo family to cooperate with the Great Japanese Empire."
"Kojima, what do you mean is that Sun Wei's complaint is fake?"
"No, maybe he was used by the Huo family..."
"Yoxi, your speculation is very likely. Inamoto-kun, I hope you have been loyal to the empire, not captured!" Miyamoto-kun said.
In Beigou, a team of about 70 or 80 people were staying here overnight. Few people spoke in the team. Even if they spoke, their accent was a bit weird. They said they were doing fur business, but looking at the goods in their cars, wooden boxes, and they were covered tightly, not like them at all!
