Chapter 31 The Gentleman's Sorrow

In Chenyang, the streets were covered with clouds.

Under the high pressure of the Japanese, the Northeast fell into suffering, and countless children died tragically under the butcher knife of the invader.

Zhu Shoumin's family, this former gentry, was also in a state of tragedy.

After Chu Yunfei set a precedent, some gangsters and gang training organizations came to blackmail money and food. Zhu Shoumin did not dare to offend him in the troubled times, but if he took this, he would not take long to get enough money even if he was a mountain of gold.

In the afternoon, Zhu Shoumin sat in the main hall with great worries, staring blankly, listening to the housekeeper's account all the time. His favorite concubine didn't dare to approach him these days.

"Dad," Zhu Zhengcai came in.

Zhu Shoumin was too lazy to get up and said, "You still know this family. The bandits will rob you all. If this continues, our Zhu family will have to wander on the street."

"What the hell is going on with dad? Is he a Japanese..."

"Hmph, it's better for the Japanese. They are a group of bandits." He glanced at the butler beside him from the corner of his eyes.

Butler Zhang said cleverly: "Young Master, those miscellaneous armed forces came again last night and forced the master to give him 10,000 silver notes. If this continues, the Japanese will collapse before they can come..."

… “Get out of here, get out of here.”

A terrible noise suddenly sounded, and a group of people broke in from outside.

"Rareless, my Zhu family can't tolerate you being so arrogant." Zhu Shoumin stood up tremblingly and slapped the table and shouted.

"Hmph, huh, Zhu Shoumin, don't be fine, I, Chu Yunfei, are here again."

Chu Yunfei and a group of people broke in.

Seeing that his father was so angry, Zhu Zhengcai took a step forward angrily, stood in front and pointed at Chu Yunfei, and said, "What are you going to do?"

Chu Yunfei waved his hand and all his subordinates rushed in, and the black guns were pointed at them.

"Sorry, Chu came to disturb me again. Now the Japanese are blocking each other tightly, and the brothers really have no choice. Come and ask Mr. Zhu for some food."

"Chu Yunfei, you went back on your word. Didn't you say you won't come again last time?"

With a sneer, Chu Yunfei said coldly: "Yes, Chu said this, but unfortunately Northeast China is no longer in the peaceful era. My mother is almost starving to death and I don't care about so much."

"You, you are shameless..."

Zhu Zhengcai was extremely angry and rushed towards Chu Yunfei. Seven or eight soldiers rushed over to the top and held Zhu Zhengcai.

"What are you doing? Let my son go."

Zhu Shoumin was shocked and hurriedly shouted: "Don't you just want the money? Haha, take it all... Haha, take it all."

When Mr. Zhang saw that Zhu Shoumin was crazy and was so scared that he didn't dare to hesitate to go in and get a silver note and hand it over to Chu Yunfei.

When Chu Yunfei's people left, Zhu Shoumin shouted in a stack of voices: "Report to the county government quickly, and go to the county government quickly."

Half an hour later, He Dongfeng brought the puppet troops to the Zhu family.

He Dongfeng was full of energy. In the past, the Japanese did not come. He was just a soldier. The Zhu family had a great career and had never even looked at him. Now that the Japanese are coming, the sky in Chenyang has changed.

Even a gangster like He Dongfeng has become the leader of the Imperial Army, majestic and no longer the moment when he is Wu Xia Ameng.

"Master Zhu, what's wrong with you? What happened to your mansion?" He Dongfeng asked sarcastically.

Zhu Zhengcai suppressed his deep disgust towards the puppet army and told the story.

He Dongfeng narrowed his eyes, and said, "That's all?"

"Yes, please ask Chief He to make the decision for the common people and severely punish the bandits."

Zhu Zhengcai said.

He Dongfeng looked at Zhu Shoumin, who was resting with his eyes closed, and he felt a little unhappy. In the past, this old guy was unhappy, but now the weather has changed. He Dongfeng is no longer the same as before, and the old guy still ignored him.

"Master Zhu... I know this. Isn't it just Chu Yunfei brought someone to ask for 10,000 silver notes, small matters, small matters." He Dongfeng said, slowly stood up and patted his butt and was about to leave.

Zhu Zhengcai was anxious: "Captain He, the matter has not been resolved, how can you leave?"

"What to solve, how to solve it? The bandits have left, and it's too late to chase them now. I have to be responsible for the public security of this street, not just for your Zhu family."

"you……."

Zhu Zhengcai was anxious.

He Dongfeng swayed and led the puppet army away, leaving behind the Zhu family's two men in anger.

"Dad, this He Dongfeng is too shameless. If you follow the Japanese, you won't take our Zhu family seriously."

Zhu Zhengcai was angry, and He Dongfeng shook his head: "It's the momentum. Now it's the Japanese. Even a government as big as the National Government has given up. Now Shanghai has fallen, the gates of North China are open, and the whole of China is in danger... He Dongfeng's resignation with the Japanese has completely ignored us. He knew that we can't do anything to him."

"Dad, what if this goes on? Even if our family is Kingsoft, it will be stolen... This, this..."

Zhu Shoumin sighed: "In the troubled times, money is a disaster. By the way, from next month, your expenses will be reduced, and our family will be almost out of business."

Zhu Zhengcai was confused. He was the only son of the Zhu family and had always been very affordable. In addition to his own life, he also took out a large part of the activities for the student union. In this way, the family provided less money, so he could no longer give it to the student union.

Butler Zhang hesitated for a moment, wanted to speak but stopped, and said, "Master, I have something I don't know if I should say."

"Tell me."

"Master, didn't the Japanese ask you to come out to serve as the Chief of Corning District? As long as you agree and become the Chief of Corning District, you will not dare to come again in the future if you measure the gangsters and the Kuomintang residue."

"What... did you let my father be a traitor?" Zhu Zhengcai turned around angrily.

"Young master, don't worry... This is also a helpless move. Otherwise, if we continue like this, our family will be left on the street."

Butler Zhang said as he looked at Zhu Shoumin's reaction. Zhu Shoumin closed his eyes, as if he didn't hear it.

"Butler Zhang, please give Zhengcai some money and let him go to school. I'll find a way to do the family."

After Zhu Shoumin finished speaking, he waved impatiently and signaled the two of them to go out.

Butler Zhang sighed and went out quietly.

Zhu Zhengcai followed him out.

After the fall of the Northeast, the Japanese were not strong enough, and many places were managed by puppet troops. In addition, the remnants of the Kuomintang, various forces of gangsters and anti-Japanese elements were rampant, and gentry like Zhu Shoumin was also affected.

These people knew that relying on the Japanese would be thrust into the backbone, but they were harassed by various local forces, and they were in a difficult situation for a while.

In fact, this scene is happening everywhere in China, and the fallen areas are everywhere. Even the Zhu family is like this, ordinary people can imagine it.

Time has passed since the summer of 1932. The Japanese invaded China in an all-out manner, and the War of Resistance Against Japan evolved into a national war of resistance. The Chinese nation reached its most dangerous moment.

As a time traveler, Mo Yonghao was fully aware of the subsequent trend of this war, and he realized it more deeply than others.
