Chapter 87

Wu Yanzhang then told the story in full.

Since Song Jingang followed Guan Shijie's idea and was entrusted to Wu Yanzhang for cooking, the main affairs of the Qing Gang branch were temporarily entrusted to Wu Yanzhang for cooking.

Manchurian Railway Corporation, which belongs to the Kanto Army Command of Japan, needs to build more than a dozen railways leading to forest areas to facilitate the transportation of timber and crops in towns and villages where the railway lines pass.

Building a railway requires a lot of labor. Every household in the township, forest farm, and villages has to contribute money, but the labor is far from enough.

Therefore, part of the quota for recruiting labor was placed on the Qinggang branch.

The Japanese had contacted Song Jingang's house twice. Song Jingang was just a false conspiracy and agreed very well, but did not take any action.

Song Jingang was ill at home. If he went deeper and simpler, he would be fine if he was low-key. But he was unwilling to be lonely and often called his friends to go to the theater and the restaurant, which aroused strong dissatisfaction among the Japanese.

The last time the Japanese asked Song Jingang to recruit miners and workers who built military fortresses, Song Jingang was perfunctory and later began to get sick.

This time it was like this again. Song Jingang printed it very well, but there was no movement for a long time.

At around 7 o'clock this morning, the Qinggang branch located on Sanma Road welcomed two uninvited guests.

Wu Yanzhang usually gets up at six in the morning, practices fists and feet all the way in the yard, and handles helping affairs after breakfast.

Just at this moment, the two brothers in the gang reported that two Japanese people came outside the door and asked to meet the leader.

Wu Yanzhang temporarily took over the position of the helm leader. He thought that the two Japanese wanted to talk to Song Jingang, so he said that Song Jingang was not here and asked the two brothers to send the Japanese away.

But the two Japanese broke in by themselves without waiting for two minutes.

"Master Wu, what we are looking for is you." said the short and fat Japanese.

"I don't know what you are looking for"

"This is Mr. Sato, the Labor Department of Manchutchi Corporation. He wants to discuss labor affairs with Master Wu."

A few days ago, Wu Yanzhang heard that the Japanese were looking for Song Jingang to recruit workers to build railways. Song Jingang only verbally agreed and did not actually operate.

Besides, no worker is willing to go to the mountains and forests to build railways. The reason is undoubtedly that the wages are extremely low and the food and accommodation conditions are extremely poor. Even if the wages are verbally agreed, they are often deducted every seven or eight times when they get the wages, and there is not much left left.

If you slacken in work, you will be beaten and scolded. No one is willing to suffer or suffer.

"My uncle has already told me about this, and the brothers in the gang have tried their best to recruit, but they just can't recruit people." Wu Yanzhang said.

"Mr. Wu, can we talk about it in another place?" Sato said.

Wu Yanzhang led them to the reception room. As soon as Sato sat down, he said, "Mr. Wu is young and capable. It's perfect to be your Green Gang leader."

"Mr. Sato was joking. Uncle Master was in poor health. I was just helping Uncle Master with some chores for the time being."

"The wise man won't say secret words. I'm here this time, I hope Mr. Wu can do me a favor."

"Mr. Sato has something to say."

"Replace Song Jingang and be the leader of your Qinggang Xinjing branch."

Sato speaks Chinese fluently. If it weren't for the a little stiff voice, it would be no different from ordinary Chinese people.

After Sato finished speaking, he took out a silver note from his arms and placed it on the table.

"This is our little intention. Please accept it with a smile."

This is the sun coming out from the west. The Japanese gave themselves gifts.

Wu Yanzhang and Sato sat across the table. He glanced at him and saw that the denomination of the silver notes was 10,000 yuan, and he was really shocked.

"My uncle is just temporarily unwell and will come back in a few days to take charge of the affairs of the gang."

"We want Mr. Wu to take charge of your gang's affairs."

The short and fat man handed Wu Yanzhang a note. When Wu Yanzhang looked, he saw five words on it: Kill Song Jingang.

The short and fat man quickly took back the note and said, "This ten thousand oceans are a gift for Mr. Wu."

This is not a meeting gift, it is clearly a commission from Song Jingang.

"If Mr. Wu is not convenient to do it, we can do it for you," Sato said.

Wu Yanzhang was a little confused for a moment and didn't know how to talk to him.

"Mr. Wu think about it, let's say goodbye first."

Sato stood up and bowed politely, then left the Green Gang branch with the short and fat Japanese.

"I have already talked to my uncle and want him to hide outside for the time being and then find a way." Wu Yanzhang said.

"The Japanese don't want you to really kill Song Jingang, they just want to force Song Jingang to do their jobs."

Guan Shijie understood that the Japanese act was a shocking force. He used Wu Yanzhang's mouth to send a message to Song Jingang: If you are disobedient, you can kill you at any time. There should be many people who want to take over the position of the helm leader.

"Then Sato and the others just talked to the uncle, why did they come to me first? They also took ten thousand oceans to kill the uncle."

"The Japanese want to use your mouth to convey the message. Because you are the temporary helm leader now, the Japanese can help you get on the throne at any time, causing psychological pressure to Song Jingang. Secondly, the Japanese want to try whether you have ambition or not to be the helm leader. If you kill Song Jingang, it proves that you can use it. Ten thousand oceans are considered the commission for hiring and killing people, and it is also the reward for you to bow to them in the future."

"Yes, if the Japanese want to kill the uncle, they can do assassination. If they haven't taken action for a long time, they are still valuable." Wu Yanzhang said: "What should we do now to return the money, or escape, or ignore it."

"You should let Song Jingang avoid it for the time being. When the matter is done now, let's think of a solution together."

Wu Yanzhang also understood that the most urgent task now is to deal with the banknote version issue.

"Someone is coming over there"

"Nine people came, and the staff should be enough. If there are too many people, it will be difficult to do things."

"When will you take action"

"Let them get familiar with the terrain of that area in the past two days. We'll just help them."

"Brother Guan, I have arranged the brothers in the gang. If you determine the date and time of action, I will let them take action."

"Okay, wait for my orders at any time."

"Mrs. Sister-in-law is okay?"

"When there are people, they call their sister-in-law, and when there are no one, they can just call their names."

"It's better to praise this. If an outsider accidentally lets it go, it's not good."

"It's okay. These two days are much better. I just like to hide in the room and stare blankly when there are no guests."

"When you have time, go and spend more time with her."

"Dang Cang", a ringtone rang in front of the counter. This was Xiao Liuzi reminding him that a customer was coming.
