No. 18, Fengshun Lane.
Lying on the tatami, Lu Ming was flipping through a pile of materials in his hand about the Kawamoto family.
Kawamoto is a big surname. In Japan, there are several well-known Kawamoto families. They originated from the same family thousands of years ago, but now they have become independent branches and have little contact with each other. Some are even in a hostile state.
The young master Kawamoto mentioned by Okagawa Ichiro should be the family of Lord Kawamoto of Okugoshimachi.
Okugoshi Michikawamotoie was one of the powerful men in Kansai and a staunch supporter of expansionism within the Kansai Army.
The two gendarmerie teams in Nanping and Xin'an in Nanping Road both came from the 15th Division of the Japanese Army, which was actually the Okuetsu Road Division.
After reading the summary of Ao Yue Dao for a while, Lu Ming picked up a few thin sheets of material.
This is an investigation report by Li Hongxuan, a teacher at the primary school affiliated to Nanping Normal University.
Ichiro Okagawa wanted to arrest several teachers from the affiliated primary school, including Li Hongxuan, because he said that they formed an association to spread hatred towards the Japanese.
Li Hongxuan had long been on the list of the Bureau of Secrets because he had published an article under a pseudonym that denounced the Haixi warlord Liu Bangchang.
However, although the article was insulting Liu Bangchang, it was not necessarily an attempt to insult all the warlords, big and small, in the Northern Territory by insulting Liu Bangchang, because the words that insulted Liu Bangchang seemed to apply equally to other warlords.
Moreover, when Li Hongxuan got together with some close friends, he did make a lot of inappropriate remarks.
The Bureau of Secrets has not yet taken action to arrest them. It was originally playing the long game to catch the big fish. With the downfall of Chen Rongfu, the secret surveillance of Li Hongxuan and others has temporarily come to a halt.
Looking at this investigation report, in fact, Li Hongxuan and others not only cursed the warlords, but also cursed the five provinces in the south of the Yangtze River, the ignorance of the people, and the Westerners. They cursed everything. In short, there are no good people in power.
In fact, if we don’t use the words from our previous life, they have a bit of anarchist ideas, advocating voluntary combination, mutual assistance and autonomy of individuals, and there should not be any rulers and corresponding state machinery.
Now, the Japanese military police have entered Nanping, and the target of Li Hongxuan and others' concentrated fire has become the Japanese.
In particular, some Japanese military police were rampant on the streets, and incidents such as not paying for meals, beating and scolding people occurred frequently.
Li Hongxuan and others scolded more fiercely, and some even talked to students in class.
As a result, he was reported to the gendarmerie and got into big trouble.
Well, I'm going to meet Li Hongxuan tomorrow.
Li Hongxuan and others are now being held in the cells of the Bureau of Secrets.
Just as Lu Ming was pondering, the left grille door slightly opened a crack, "Master..." It was Erika's gentle voice with a little hesitation.
"What's wrong?" Lu Ming turned around to look.
"Xue Ruo seems to have been having a nightmare, and woke up again, and has been trembling..." Erika said in a low voice.
Lu Ming sighed inwardly. The surprise she received today probably reminded her of her father's tragic death and her subsequent tragic experience of being imprisoned in a small dark room.
“What should we do then…” Lu Ming sat up.
Erika was silent. Obviously, she didn't know what to do. She should have coaxed and hugged Xueruo, but it didn't work.
"Xue Ruo?" Lu Ming raised his voice slightly, "Don't be afraid, okay?" After thinking for a while, "How about you come over and sleep? With me here, you don't have to be afraid of anything."
I had just said that, but soon, Xueruo's small figure timidly appeared beside the grille door. Like Erika, she was wearing a small snow-white skin-colored jacket, which made her look particularly pretty and charming.
Seeing her timid look as she wanted to step into the dormitory but didn't dare, Lu Ming smiled and waved, "Okay, come on!"
Xueruo then moved her little feet in snow-white socks and walked over timidly to Lu Ming's side. She knelt carefully and then lay down on her side.
Lu Ming smiled, picked up the document and started reading, gradually putting everything else behind him.
Hmm? I don't know how long it took, Lu Ming put down the documents and prepared to go to bed, only to see Xueruo's small body beside him move towards him, as if she wanted to stick close to him, but didn't dare.
Lu Ming put down one of his arms and said with a smile: "Just sleep with your head resting on it, don't be afraid."
Xueruo didn't say a word, but moved her little body up little by little, and rested her little head carefully on Lu Ming's arm.
She opened her eyes a little, saw Lu Ming looking at her, and then quickly closed them in fear. But it was obvious that her mood at this moment was completely different from that in the nightmare.
"Erika, come over here too!"
I heard the sound coming from the dormitory on the left. Erika was also awake and kept tossing and turning. Maybe it was because of Ruoxue that she was remembering a lot of past events.
Erika responded softly.
There was a rustling sound of footsteps, the grille door opened, and Erika's beautiful figure appeared. After she came in, she gently closed the grille door.
"Erika, I have inquired about your parents and relatives. They are fine now. Moreover, I am preparing to redeem your parents through some channels. Things have become more or less clear. But for your grandfather, I can't do anything for the time being. I can only wait and see."
Normally, she would not tell others about things that were not done yet, but Erika was getting thinner day by day, and she was still depressed even when Kyoko came to her side. This little girl needed hope, otherwise, she would lose her life.
Even if I take her out to play and try to make her happy, the happiness is only short-lived.
Over there, Erika stood there in shock, her pretty face full of disbelief. She stared at Lu Ming, her eyes gradually turning red.
"Don't cry, just wait patiently, and be happy every day, okay?" Lu Ming turned to Xueruo, whose little body was gradually sticking to him, and said, "Little guy, you too, I won't let anything happen to your mother."
Xueruo's little body trembled slightly. She didn't say a word, but nodded her head. She wanted to do something, but then retracted her hand. She probably wanted to express her gratitude with some action, but she didn't dare to do it.
Looking at her, Lu Ming sighed softly in his heart. This little girl gave people completely different feelings from Bisi. Bisi was truly his little cotton-padded jacket, his naughty daughter, with whom he could talk about anything. He even wished he could pick all the stars in the sky for her.
Xueruo and I have a deep gap between us and she is particularly afraid of me. But in this world, I am the only one who can bring her a sense of security. Maybe, she projects her reliance on her father onto myself, but she definitely does not regard herself as a father. I do not feel towards her as a daughter, but rather as pity, which is similar to the feeling I have towards Xiaoguo and Daxiaoguo. I also love them, but it is a kind of master's mentality towards a small servant. Besides, Xiaoguo and Daxiaoguo do not need other people's pity.
It seems like after coming to this world, my various experiences and way of thinking have changed a lot, especially that guy Liuli, who has made me seem to be accustomed to the master-servant thinking, which is not good.
Just as he was daydreaming, he heard a rustling sound on the left. Lu Ming turned around and saw Erika lying next to him, also carefully.
Probably having seen Xueruo's posture, she didn't know how to lie together with her "husband", so she followed suit, resting her pretty face on her arm. The girl, in her snow-white blouse, curled up gently beside him and immediately closed her eyes tightly.
Lu Ming smiled slightly: "It's getting late, let's go to bed, you all have a good sleep, I'm here, you don't have to be afraid of anything."
"Yes, sir," Xue Ruo and Erika both responded softly.
Erika pulled up the thin blanket, and the three bodies were buried under it.
Lu Ming was lying on his back with both arms resting on his head, but both of their bodies were very light, giving off a feeling of lightness, freshness and softness that made one's heart float.
Sleeping in the same quilt is a wonderful feeling, especially with two beautiful girls wearing snow-white lingerie on either side.
There was no distracting thoughts in Lu Ming's mind, only warmth and peace, and a sense of satisfaction that came from being able to protect the beautiful things around him.
They rely on themselves and trust themselves, and they will protect themselves.
It seems like I have really transcended the seven emotions and six desires of ordinary living beings.
Lu Ming looked at Erika's beautiful face on the left. Such a stunning Japanese beauty was lying next to him, but he was happy to have her. He only felt warm and peaceful, without any random thoughts in his mind. Maybe he was not a human being, but a life form of a higher level.
While admiring myself, my left foot seemed to accidentally touch Erika's extremely delicate snow-white feet.
Lu Ming was stunned for a moment, then he felt his heart suddenly beat faster, he glanced sideways and saw Erika with her eyes tightly closed, her long black eyelashes trembling slightly. She probably thought he did it on purpose, so Xuezu didn't dare to hide, let alone move. The pair of pink little fists clenched tightly in front of her chest were also trembling nervously, and it seemed that the nervousness made her sweat, and the fragrance surrounded her even more.
Lu Ming quickly turned his head and looked at the shoji paper ceiling, counting: "One sheep, two sheep..."
…
The magnificent office of the Secret Service.
Sitting on the sofa, opposite the coffee table, was Li Hongxuan.
Lu Ming held a huge cigar in his mouth and smoked it slowly, with smoke filling his eyes.
Li Hongxuan was very calm and sat there quietly, but there were some complicated emotions in his eyes when he looked at Lu Ming and Ding Wanjun who was standing respectfully beside Lu Ming.
Ding Wanjun didn't look at him, but occasionally when her eyes passed by him, a trace of worry flashed across her face.
"Teacher Li, I didn't expect that we would meet again in this way." Lu Ming said indifferently.
Li Hongxuan nodded, "Yeah, I didn't expect that either."
Lu Ming said: "Teacher Li, some of your remarks are very outrageous, but I don't think they constitute any crime. I met you just to reassure you that your remarks are not a crime."
Li Hongxuan was slightly stunned and looked at Lu Ming with some surprise.
Ding Wanjun finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"However, there are two cases that I hope you can testify in court. Well, I am now representing the Procuratorate." As he spoke, Lu Ming handed over a document, "Teacher Li, you are a witness in these two cases."
Li Hongxuan took it and opened it, his face was even more surprised.
Lu Ming added: "Not just these two cases. In fact, the Bureau of Secrets has been collecting evidence of illegal behavior by the Japanese military police recently. More than 50 Japanese military police will be prosecuted for different crimes, including theft, robbery, wounding, intimidation, etc. In addition, due to lax military discipline, several major officers including the military police captain Okagawa Ichiro will also be charged by the Procuratorate."
Li Hongxuan flipped through the letter with a complicated expression on his face. After a long while, he let out a long breath, "This is General Lu's method..."
In Li Hongxuan's circle, perhaps the only person who did not curse and had a good reputation was Black Mountain General Lu Ming.
Glancing at Lu Ming, Li Hongxuan said, "I will testify in court, Director Zhang, I hope you can ask General Lu..."
Lu Ming waved his hands and rolled his eyes, "Stop talking nonsense. What's the matter? Haven't you been to the police station enough?"
Ding Wanjun's heart immediately rose up, and she shook her hand gently at Li Hongxuan with a small amplitude.
Li Hongxuan snorted coldly and lowered his head in silence.
"Okay, you can go!" Lu Ming waved his hand.
The phone on the desk rang.
Ding Wanjun went to answer it. Li Hongxuan stood up, opened the door and went out. He turned back to glance at Ding Wanjun's graceful back with a trace of pain in his eyes.
Perhaps it was because he saw his former proud female student, a beautiful goddess, who was also the beauty he longed for deep in his heart. However, in the bloody reality, she was a slave of an ignorant spy chief who had no ideas in his eyes. She was bossed around and was probably completely dependent on the spy chief both physically and mentally, which made him feel deeply powerless.
"Commander, it's General Gao." Ding Wanjun held the microphone in both hands and placed it in front of Lu Ming.
Lu Ming took it and said with a smile: "Brother, I know why you called."
"Brother..." Gao Baoshan smiled bitterly, "You've made a big deal. You've imprisoned all the Japanese in their team headquarters, and now you want to sue them?"
Lu Ming smiled and said, "Since they are foreign guests, we should do everything according to the law. We will follow the law, have reason and evidence, and do nothing else. Even if the lawsuit goes to the imperial capital, we are not afraid!"
"Ah, I also know that I can't persuade them to reconcile. I have a headache. I have to go to the hospital for a few days..." Gao Baoshan smiled bitterly.
Lu Ming smiled in his heart. He must be very happy. He must be looking forward to and hoping that Nanping will undergo drastic changes.
Go to the hospital and pretend to be sick and wait for the opportunity. Do you think you are Sima Zhongda
After hanging up the phone with Gao Baoshan, Lu Ming said, "Please connect me to Tsinghua University."
To Chen Qinghua, Lu Ming said, "Qinghua, handle these dozens of cases beautifully and don't let General Lu down." These lawsuits were handed over to Chen Qinghua, deputy director of the Procuratorate and a disciple of "General Lu."
"Commissioner, don't worry!" Chen Qinghua's tone was a little excited.
There was a gentle knock on the office door.
"Tsinghua, I'm hanging up!" Lu Ming put down the phone.
Over there, Ding Wanjun went to open the door, and then whispered, "Why are you here..." Her tone sounded somewhat helpless and a little annoyed.
"Who is it?" Lu Ming laughed. In fact, he heard it. It was Ding Mocun's voice.
He came to visit me a few days ago with some four-color snacks to thank me for helping him vent his anger.
It seems that the top management of Kaiyue Billiard Club now knows that his daughter works in the Security Bureau and is a close confidant of the bureau chief.
Ding Mocun probably wanted to say that his daughter was the bureau chief's mistress, but in the end he didn't dare to do so.
He is already a director of the Kaiyue Billiards Club's board of directors, instead of being the lobby deputy manager in name only but actually a waiter serving people.
There are many people like Ding Mocun in the world. Lu Ming can't say that he dislikes him. It is actually quite fun to have such a commoner coming to talk to him about this and that.
He is like a plankton in the market. Chatting with him occasionally can help you understand more about many aspects of society that you can no longer access.
The intelligence system's reports on people's livelihood and the like are not as intuitive as the information he brings.
As for his bragging outside, besides bringing him protection, it will also bring possible danger to his daughter, so he and his daughter will have to bear it themselves.
"Commander..." Ding Mocun came in, bowed and smiled apologetically, holding a red gift bag in his hand and raised it high, "I found some good stuff for you!"
Lu Ming smiled: "Old Ding, the guards know you now. With a special pass, you can go through without any obstacles!"
Ding Mocun started to smile with a bit of complacency, but then he felt something was wrong and said quickly: "They searched me inside and out, and even opened this box!" He raised the red gift bag in his hand.
"It's okay." Lu Ming waved his hand, "I still trust you." He smiled and said, "What good things did you bring me? I'm going to Mengdong soon, so let's make it short."
Mengdong County was originally part of Wanzhou Dao, and Chengjiaji belonged to Mengdong.
But now it is occupied by the Montenegrin Army, and the county governors are all appointed by the Montenegrin faction, of course, with the signature and approval of Gao Baoshan.
Like Chengjiaji, the entire Mengdong County carried out a land distribution movement, distributing all the land occupied by Cheng Dasui's minions to civilians.
The country gentleman Mr. Ma, whom I met in Ma Ming Town, Mengdong County when I went to the countryside last time, has given up business to go into politics and is now the vice chairman of the Mengdong County Commercial Committee.
However, after Cheng Dasui defected to Haixi Governor Liu Bangchang, his own side had not yet taken any action, but Cheng Dasui's Wanzhou army frequently operated on the border of Mengdong County.
So I decided to go and take a look and further assess the situation on the front line and Wanzhou Road.
Wanzhou Road is adjacent to Haixi Province.
Mengdong County originally belonged to Wanzhou Road, and is now naturally one of the front lines in the confrontation with Cheng Dasui.
"Mengdong?" Ding Mocun's eyes lit up immediately. "Sir, my poor old woman is from Mengdong. Speaking of which, since my old woman passed away, I haven't had much contact with her family. Wanjun hasn't seen Mengdong's uncles and aunts for a long time!"
Lu Ming nodded, "That's perfect. Xiao Ding happens to be on duty. Come with me to Mengdong in the next few days."
Ding Mocun immediately smiled excitedly: "Of course, Wanjun..."
“Dad, please say less…” Ding Wanjun felt helpless. She was scared to death of Director Zhang, but she didn’t know what was wrong with her own father. He was so careless, as if he was really familiar with the director. It wasn’t enough that he came once, but he came again today.
Director Zhang is also strange. He doesn't seem to be annoyed with his father.
But who knows? What happened to Pang Heizi? What did he do? I heard he was buried alive.
Who is that person? He was once a gangster tycoon who could shake Nanping City with a stomp of his feet. In front of the bureau chief, he is like an ant. If his subordinates make a mistake, they will bring disaster upon themselves, not to mention his own father.
Maybe one sentence displeased the bureau chief, and the next day the body rotted in the Nanping River and was fed to turtles.
But I have advised my father several times, but he just wouldn't listen. He even said that the director liked him and wanted to make fun of him.
It's really like an old man drinking arsenic, but I really can't persuade him. He is like a possessed person and can't listen to anything.
Over there, Lu Ming smiled and said, "Old Ding, you haven't seen your relatives over there for a long time, right? Let's go and have a look together?"
Ding Mocun was immediately overjoyed, "Okay, that's great!" Thinking about the scene of meeting those relatives, he gritted his teeth. Who dares to look down on me now? !
