Chapter 425 He has already run away, is it really the end?
After the case was closed, although the news of Qi Ying's death was still strictly kept secret, Zhang Ruilin's family was allowed to take his body home.
Zhang's mother did not show up that day, but entrusted a relative to do the job. The relative also looked very sad when he encountered such a thing.
As to how Zhang Ruilin died, the Zhang family, who vaguely knew something about the circumstances, kept it a secret and the ceremony was not grand. After chanting sutras for a few days, they placed the body in Yiyuan in the south city, ready to send it home for burial on a chosen day.
On the day of the funeral, Lin Ze drew a circle at home, leaving an opening, pointing in the direction of Yiyuan in the south.
Then he set fire to the letter and the photo and threw them into the circle to burn.
The walls of the Lin residence were tall, but a gust of wind suddenly blew in from nowhere, causing the burning papers and photos in the circle to spin, flutter a few times, and then slowly fall to the ground.
In the photo, the sunny smiles of Zhang Ruilin and the girl gradually disappeared and then turned into a pool of ashes.
Lin Ze took a shovel, buried all the paper ashes, and turned back to the backyard.
The city of Peking will not stop functioning because of the death of one or two people. The rickshaw drivers continue to pull their carts and the vendors continue to shout their wares. The numerous disasters have made everyone calm. If you look carefully with a magnifying glass, you will find this or that sad story. But if you zoom out, you will see that they are just people like ants, busy and running around day after day.
One day at the end of the month, Lin Ze hadn't even left the house when the streets suddenly became noisy.
The shouts of newsboys rose one after another.
"Wang Tianhai's message to the outside world! Support the Three Principles of the Guards and respond to the peace talks!"
"This newspaper was the first to disclose the contents of the telegram. Wang Tianhai advised the Shancheng side!"
Lin Ze took out two big coins and called the newspaper boy who was passing by the Lin residence, "I say, give me a newspaper!"
The little newsboy was still wearing straw sandals in the middle of winter, his toes were frozen black and red, he ran over panting, stretched his stiff fingers, and took out a newspaper, "Sir, this is for you."
Seeing his expression, Lin Ze took back the big money and took out two silver dollars, "Send me a copy every day from now on. If you miss it one day, I will skin you alive. If you don't have enough money, tell me."
[Ding! Detected that the host is threatening the newsboy, reward: Inspiration flows like a spring]
[Literary ideas flow like a spring: When the host writes official documents, this skill is automatically triggered, greatly improving the host's writing skills]
Wow, this kid is quite lucky. He beat Cheng Yongjun so hard before and only earned some money. Now, he just scared this kid and the system unleashed his skills.
The little newsboy was stunned by this sudden good luck.
Don't be fooled by his young age. He started selling newspapers last year. When has he ever seen cash?
Lin Ze was holding a newspaper, and the security guard at the door was about to close it.
The newsboy trembled and said, "Sir, if you want newspapers, you can order them directly from the newspaper office. If you order every day like me, the newspaper office will give you a discount."
Lin Ze turned his head and looked at the little guy whose face was red from the cold.
"Niu Saner, Niu Saner!"
Niu Saner ran out from the back room, and the little newspaper boy was frightened when he saw him. What did I say wrong? Is this gentleman going to find someone to teach me a lesson?
It was common for newsboys to be beaten. Anyone could bully them. Drunkards on the street would get angry and block the newsboys in the alley and beat them up. Residents with bad tempers would be woken up by newsboys in the morning and kick them.
Even the older newsboys would beat up the younger ones in order to compete for the delivery turf.
Niu Saner looked at the child at the door, a trace of distress flashed in his eyes, "Master, please give me your orders."
"Arrange a place for him. Besides, these kids walk around the streets all day long and are well-informed. Think about how to use them for our benefit."
Niu Saner felt warm in his heart, "Hey, don't worry!"
He walked up to the newsboy and held out his hand, "Come on, I'll take you to dinner."
The newsboy knelt down and kowtowed.
After he finished his kowtow, he stood up and said, "Sir, thank you both, but I still have to deliver the newspapers. My mother is preparing dinner for me at home."
Lin Ze and Niu Saner looked at each other and smiled.
Lin Ze waved his hand and went into the house. Niu Saner looked at the little newspaper boy and said, "After you deliver the newspapers, come back here to find me. I have a job for you. You can earn some money and buy food. Is that okay?"
This time the child nodded, grinned and continued running to sell newspapers.
He didn't know that the gears of fate had already begun to turn.
Back in the study, Lin Ze spread out the newspaper.
The Daily News used two full pages to report on this incident. In addition to printing the full text of the telegram, it also cited extensive evidence and praised the correctness of Wang Tianhai's move.
The "yan" in the so-called yandian actually refers to the date. Sending a telegram was very expensive, so in order to reduce the number of words, rhymes were used instead of dates. The day he sent the telegram was the word "yan".
The current situation is like this. After the Battle of Jiangcheng, the Japanese have realized that with their national strength, it is basically hopeless to use such a war to force the South to surrender.
Therefore, apart from the military which was still roaring, other people in power began to rethink their strategies towards China.
It is certain that military pressure will continue, but pressure alone is not enough, they also need to be won over, so the Konoe Cabinet proposed the famous Konoe Three Principles.
But if you believe even a single word of what the Japs say, you're crazy.
Regardless of whether Wang Tianhai truly believed it or not, he said he believed it anyway.
This man passed through Yunnan Province and, with the help of Governor Long, fled to the outside of the river in Annan.
Not long after, the telegram was sent.
Lin Ze estimated that with Boss Dai's ability, he would definitely know that Wang Tianhai had other thoughts. Since Boss Dai knew it, that person must also know it.
But no one expected that this guy would run away so decisively!
Given Wang Tianhai's qualifications and status, his fall from the water was a huge blow to the resistance cause.
Closing the newspaper, Lin Ze sighed.
With Terauchi Hisaichi about to return to his country, the fall of the Konoe Cabinet is not far away. Once Konoe falls, all those damn principles will become empty. The Japanese's tactics are more sophisticated this time. They have put Wang Tianhai there. From the moment he boarded the plane and left Kuncheng, he could not turn back and could only go down this path to the end.
I had just lit a cigarette when the phone rang.
But it was Gao Shengping who called.
The first sentence was, "Fuck! Shengmin! Have you read the newspaper?"
"Director, I just saw it. Is that what you are talking about?"
"Fuck! Shengmin! Tell me, is this true or false? This is impossible, right?"
Lin Ze smiled helplessly and said, "Director, we don't know whether it's true or not, but if it's true, he is the same as you and me."
Gao Shengping was still immersed in the shock of having heard such a big news. "He has already run away. Is it really the end?"
Lin Ze didn't say anything.
Will not.
