Chapter 407: First Snow in Peking
Because of the injuries of the three old Japanese soldiers, the gendarmerie headquarters was very busy for a while.
Everyone was at a loss as to how to characterize this matter. If they said nothing happened, then these three people would have to stay in the hospital for a while and not be able to show up in public, which would only make the rumors more intense.
If this accident is defined as a conspiracy of the rebels, doesn't it show the incompetence of the gendarmerie system? To have three generals knocked down at once is no longer a matter of embarrassment, it is a matter of having one's face peeled off and being crushed repeatedly.
But if it was said that the three generals were injured at the same time due to an accident, regardless of whether the outside world would believe it, the key point is that this would make the three old Japanese look very stupid.
There are no great leaders these days to set an example for the world and show everyone what a grass-roots team is. Nowadays, the requirements for upper-level figures are still very high. They must be smart, strong, and courageous...
Finally, it was Lin Ze who came up with an idea. He said that it was an attack by rebels, but the generals were not hurt at all. For safety reasons, the generals would work in seclusion for a while.
Major General Matsuzaki reported the plan, and Sugiyama Madoka quickly agreed.
Immediately afterwards, Isotani Mukitaka and Kitahara Ransuke began to deploy arrangements to arrest people. Since there were no rebels who attacked the general at all, the gendarmerie headquarters turned their attention to those ruffians.
Kitahara Ransuke even assigned tasks to each police station and patrol station, requiring each patrol station to capture at least one gang of no less than five people.
For a time, the city of Peking was in chaos. Many gangsters who couldn't make it in Tianjin and ran to Peking suffered. Some people simply packed up their bags and decided to go somewhere else. After working in two of the three major ports in the north, since they couldn't stay in either Tianjin or Peking, they might as well go to Jicheng!
In November, Beijing welcomed its first snow.
The snow covered the dirty and smelly gutters and concealed the mule dung that was everywhere on the ground in the outer city. The ancient city seemed to become holy and solemn again.
At the East Gate Patrol Station, Wang Xiaoshou was watching everyone clean up.
"I say, brothers, clean up. Master Lin is coming to check. This is his return home. If we are sloppy and untidy, let alone whether Master Lin will be angry or not, we will not be able to get through this hurdle ourselves!"
Zhuzi is now a model of housekeeping and has gained experience in cleaning. Holding a hard-bristled brush and leading a few patrolmen, he lay on the ground and brushed with all his might, even brushing the blue bricks to their true color.
Not to mention Lin Ze's original office on the second floor. All the things were still in their original places and it was spotlessly clean. Wang Xiaoshou did all this personally, even if it delayed his time to have fun in Hanjia Hutong, he was happy to do it.
At around ten o'clock, Lin Ze's car stopped in front of the patrol station.
Wang Xiaoshou quickly took people out to greet them.
Niu Saner knew Wang Xiaoshou's style and did not rush to open the car door.
Wang Xiaoshou stepped forward a few steps, opened the car door, then quickly stepped back, stood at attention and saluted.
Lin Ze was wearing a uniform with a black cloak on the outside, looking energetic and dignified. As the saying goes, the body changes and the spirit changes as the place you live in, and people who have been in a high position for a long time naturally have a kind of aura.
Although this kind of aura is difficult to describe accurately, there are ways to follow, such as slowing down your speaking speed, lowering your voice, not making too obvious changes in your tone, not making too big movements, etc.
Of course, everything must be matched with one's strength. When it is time to act like a grandson, don't be so arrogant. If you don't want to be a grandson, you must learn to be content.
You can't want to stand out and not want to be someone's grandson first, otherwise your life will be twisted.
"Director, you are welcome to come for inspection!"
Lin Ze returned the salute and shouted to the patrolman behind him, "Alright, it's so cold, go inside, what are you doing standing at the door?"
These words warmed the hearts of the patrolmen.
What is Mr. Lin’s identity now, and what is the identity of these patrolmen?
But Master Lin doesn't show off or act arrogantly, and he still cares about his brothers. How can this not move people?
Until now, the person these patrolmen like to talk about most when they get together is Chief Lin. They talk about how much their lives have improved since Chief Lin came to patrol the East Gate, and they try to get coal to burn a stove to keep them warm.
Even when Uncle Lin was eating duck himself, he never forgot to buy duck oil cakes for his brothers.
They talked about how at that time, even mixed noodles were almost out of stock, so Uncle Lin distributed sweet potatoes to everyone so that their families, young and old, would not starve to death.
Nowadays, the situation in the outer three districts is getting better and better, and the treatment of patrol police is getting higher and higher. This is all thanks to Master Lin!
Wang Xiaoshou followed Lin Ze, hunched over, "Master Lin, the water is on. Although we don't have water from Yuquan Mountain, we bought it from the Sweet Water Well. The tea is also ready. Why don't you go upstairs and have a cup of tea to warm yourself up?"
Lin Ze looked at the clean and tidy patrol station and was very satisfied.
Although Wang Xiaoshou was a little slick, he was very clear about his work and managed the patrol station very well.
"I say, Wang Xiaoshou, wait for the tea, tell me, other patrol stations have arrested a lot of rebels in their jurisdictions, why is there no movement here?"
Except for the Dongbianmen patrol station in the outer three districts, all other patrol stations have completed the tasks assigned by their superiors. Isn't it just catching ruffians and hooligans? This is too easy. You have to know that this is the outer city. There are countless vegetable tyrants, fish tyrants, dung tyrants, and car tyrants. The Zuoanmen patrol station caught more than a dozen dung tyrants alone. These people control the dung collection business near Zuoanmen. On the one hand, they collect so-called sanitation fees from those houses, collect dung at their homes regularly, and then sell the dung to farmers outside the city and collect two shares of the money.
Don't underestimate this industry. Some dung tyrants have inherited the business from their ancestors. They have been digging dung for generations. Their houses are often three or five stories high, so they must have a fortune of tens of thousands of dollars.
Wang Xiaoshou heard this with a bitter face, "Master Lin, this is really not us being cunning. Think about it, you have been in Dongbianmen for such a long time, and everyone in Beiping City knows your name. What kind of ruffians, no, what kind of rebels dare to come here? In the jurisdiction of our Dongbianmen Patrol Station, it is said that people do not pick up things on the road, and they also say that they do not lock their doors at night. I can't kill innocent people to take credit, so I can just arrest a few people to get the job done, right?"
Wang Xiaoshou was not lying. After Lin Ze shot and killed the gangster who came from Tianjin to open a gambling house, his reputation spread. Later, as Lin Ye's status became higher and higher, no one dared to come here to cause trouble. Even though there were a few car dealership owners and bathhouse managers in the jurisdiction who used to make a living on the streets, they had cleaned themselves up long ago and paid their monthly dues. They were very law-abiding and not easy to arrest.
