"They just don't treat me as an object. I love to go to Luoza's store to buy candy and chat with them. They ask me all kinds of questions. One time, the boss lady gave me too much wine and thought I was asleep, so a few of them planned to kill a Japanese soldier..." At this point, Tianhe Luo's face turned pale, and he smiled and said, "They said that. I, I was just repeating it..."
The resistance organization's special derogatory term for the Sonyans was a kind of vicious animal, which automatically turned into "devils" in Lu Ming's mind.
Lu Ming smiled and said, "You are really brave!"
Tianhe Luo said with a smile: "What's so scary about them? At most they can capture me and ask for a ransom, and then say they want to kill me..." He paused, "They just shouted for fun, but in the end they didn't succeed."
Lu Ming nodded slightly, "Don't tell anyone about this for now, and don't go to the sugar shop again for the time being. I will send someone to follow up."
"I understand, I understand!" Tianhe Luo agreed repeatedly.
After Tianhe Luo left, Xingchen Luo was invited to the study.
"You have been the president of the autonomous association for more than half a month?" Lu Ming asked.
Xingchen Luo nodded slightly.
"The new president, do you think he is qualified? It's just you and me, so just be clear. The law is not known to two people. Oh, that is to say, apart from you and me, no one else will know."
Xingchen Luo was slightly startled and glanced at Lu Ming's expression.
Lu Ming smiled and said, "You probably won't say much. Well, I won't force you. I'll talk to Brother Yinhe."
He shouted to the outside, asking someone to invite Yinhe Luo to come, and the black dog standing outside the door responded.
A few minutes later, Yinhe Luo came hurriedly.
Xingchen Luo didn't say much. When he said goodbye, he passed by the eldest son at the door. He didn't tell the eldest son anything and just left.
“Brother Yinhe, oh, this seems like the wrong generation…” Lu Ming smiled slightly.
Yinhe Luo hurriedly smiled and said, "We are talking about different things. Besides, my niece is not your wife, right? But General Manager, you can just call me Yinhe!"
Yinhe Luo is about fifty years old. He is more mature and steady than his third brother Tianhe Luo, but he is naturally not as shrewd and cunning as the old man Xingchen Luo.
Lu Ming asked whether the new president Huang Tu Luo had any bad record. Yinhe Luo hesitated for a moment and then started to speak carefully.
It mainly talks about how Huang Tu Luo committed crimes and oppressed the common people.
"Oppressing the good and the like..." Lu Ming smiled and said, "I want to hear something else."
Yinhe Luo was startled, then suddenly an idea came to his mind, and he said, "He and Sanchong Luo are in cahoots with each other, using the heads of innocent people as rebels to be suppressed more than once or twice, and also reselling military supplies for the security forces..."
Lu Ming smiled: "That's all. Go back and write the materials. Don't worry, take your time. When you're done, you can contact my office at any time and I'll send someone to pick it up."
"Okay, okay!" Yinhe Luo was extremely excited. He vaguely guessed something but didn't dare to ask directly.
Lu Ming stood up and looked at the sky outside. "Well, I have an appointment with them later."
Yinhe Luo said hurriedly: "Yes, yes, the yard for you to rest is also ready for you!"
Lu Ming nodded slightly.
…
Pharaoh Park is the first public park in Xingchen City that is open to civilians. It was built more than 50 years ago. Compared with Baoyue City, Xingchen City, which is located in the transportation network of the central economic zone of the Western Region, has many more modern elements.
Pharaoh Park is built around Pharaoh Lake, with green lawns and colorful flowers. On the small island in the center of the blue waves, there is a small palace-like building that combines traditional and modern styles. There are also tennis courts, horse farms, etc. on the island.
In fact, this island used to belong to the Xingchen family and is not open to tourists.
It is now Huangtuluo's private property. Whenever Huangtuluo invites friends and relatives to gather on the island, the park will be closed.
Moreover, as the civilians in the city gradually got used to it, the park was only open to the public once every ten days or half a month. Most of the time, it was closed and almost became Huang Tu Luo's private garden.
At this time, at dusk, the sky in the west was full of red clouds, making the Pharaoh Island in the center of the blue lake even more magnificent. The small Western Palace with a semi-circular dome was magnificent and golden, and with the scenery of lakes and mountains, it looked like a mirage.
Everyone first came to the tennis court to stretch their muscles, chat, get to know each other better, and build relationships.
The dinner was hosted by Huang Tu Luo, who entertained the general manager from Southern Funia.
Director Thorne and Director Scott were among the invited guests, but Battalion Commander Heinz of the Wehrmacht, who had a very military demeanor and did not like socializing, did not come.
On the local state side, there were only the captain of the public security brigade, Sanchong Luo, the president of the local Chamber of Commerce, Jinpu Luo, and the famous local scholar and president of the Xingchen Academy, Wenzhe Luo.
It’s not that the invited people didn’t come, but the banquet was of a very high standard and only these few nobles from the local states were invited.
The exception was Xingchen Luo, to whom Huangtu Luo gave an invitation, but he declined with an excuse.
The reason why Xingchen Luo was invited was naturally because of Suoti Luo's relationship. Seeing that the granddaughter of the Xingchen family had climbed up the social ladder and become a phoenix, how they should treat the Xingchen family would be different.
Huang Tu Luo was even more deeply wary of this.
Huang Tu Luo was sitting by the tennis court and chatting with Lu Ming. When he saw the check Lu Ming sent back, his expression changed slightly.
The invitation was sent to Lu Ming in the afternoon, and there was a check in the envelope for 10,000 yuan.
Lu Ming smiled and said, "We won't talk about this. You just need to be loyal to your duties and help my kingdom guard the southernmost line of the Western Region. That will be the greatest reward for me!"
Huang Tu Luo smiled and said, "Yes, I understand! But you have worked too hard. This is not my personal money. It is a thank-you gift from all the people of our Star City-State..." He looked at Director Thorne next to him and never expected that Chief Bit would return the money to him in front of Director Thorne.
Thorne also had a strange look on his face, but he was just drinking water. He had just played a game of basketball and looked very tired. It seemed that he didn't notice what was happening here.
Lu Ming smiled and said, "The more you talk, the more confusing it becomes. Let's just stop talking, right?"
Huang Tu Luo was helpless. Seeing Lu Ming's expression, he quickly put away the check.
Looking at Suo Ti Luo, who looked more youthful and energetic, brighter and sexier in her snow-white tennis skirt, Lu Ming smiled and stood up, "Let's go play tennis with my dear." He said to Thorne, "Let's play doubles, the two of us against our female companions!"
Thorne nodded, holding the racket and walking beside Lu Ming, whispering: "Chief, your..."
Lu Ming smiled and said, "Just keep it. Cut the yellow earth as well!"
I gave Thorne 50,000 yuan. Of course, all of it was embezzled here. In a short period of time, I embezzled hundreds of thousands of yuan, which was quite satisfying.
Just think about it, if you win over a faction and slowly turn this southern region into your own world, and then take the lead in collective surrender in the future, you don't know what the situation will be like.
As a spy, you can do whatever you want.
Looking at Suo Ti Luo opposite him, Lu Ming smiled in his heart. This black dog was flattering him blindly, but it opened up new ideas for him, which was also very good.
