Chapter 1099 What to do?
The news that the Beiping Assistant Administration Bureau had shot and killed over a hundred ronin at the entrance of the Lin residence was still spreading rapidly.
In less than a day, the topic was already being discussed extensively in both Beijing and Tianjin.
"Sigh, when it comes to sheer force, who can compare to Master Lin? This time, he killed over a hundred Japanese soldiers in one go, and we all got our revenge. But revenge is one thing, but the Japanese will ultimately side with their own people. Do you think they'll let Master Lin off the hook?"
"If you don't say it was the Beiping Police Bureau that killed him, what does that have to do with Master Lin?"
"Who's in charge of the auxiliary police bureau? If Master Lin doesn't give his approval, who would dare to fire a shot?"
"I heard that Yu Xuecheng from the detective team was also at the scene that day. Maybe he fired the gun on impulse. If the Japanese really want to settle scores, they can't put all the blame on Master Lin, can they?"
“You guys don’t understand! Do you know what kind of background this Captain Yu has? Back then, Captain Wang of the Beiping Detective Team left his post for no reason, and then this Captain Yu came from Tianjin. Think about it, he came from Tianjin! So no matter how you look at it, the Japanese will blame this on Master Lin.”
"Oh! God bless, please bless Master Lin so he can get through this. If Master Lin... our lives will be in serious trouble!"
"Who says it isn't?"
Some people are worried about Lin Ze and hope that he can get through this crisis safely, while others are happy and can't wait for Lin Ze to fall from power!
In a small restaurant in Beiping, several middle-aged men were drinking and chatting in a private room.
"Hey, have you heard? This time, Lin Ze has caused a huge mess. He's risen to the top in the last two years, but he's become too arrogant. As the saying goes, arrogance always brings trouble. Look at him now! Whether he's a rogue or not, he's still a Japanese! He's a Chinese man who killed so many Japanese. What does he want to do? He's even the commander of the military police! I think he's the biggest rebel!"
"Second Brother is right. We brothers were doing a good job in the Governance Committee. First, Chairman Wang died, and then Lin Ze promoted a Little Chairman Wang. Now the Governance Committee is his. He said he would replace us brothers, and he just replaced us. Damn it, all we did was make some money. Which official doesn't make money? He's just using this as an excuse to put some of his own people in charge!"
"Exactly, exactly! Is Lin Ze really that clean? I've heard that the Lin Mansion in Beiping was once built to the standards of a prince's mansion, and it's been extensively renovated and expanded. It's so magnificent inside, it's practically a palace! Where does he get so much money? He keeps telling us not to exploit the common people, but these days, how do you make money if you don't exploit the common people?"
"Just watch, Lin Ze is sure to get through this. Once he falls, will Chairman Wang still be able to hold on? Hmph! We'll let Wang Mengqun know that this governing committee isn't just about the ever-changing chairmen, but about the people like us!"
"Hey, Fifth Master, it doesn't even have to be time yet. I heard that some people are already getting restless today. Some departments and bureaus have actually dared to leave the notes and orders that Wang Mengqun has issued, neither saying that they will implement them nor that they will not. This has really infuriated Wang Mengqun."
"Hahahaha!"
............
On the morning of the second day of the Lunar New Year, it snowed in Beijing and Tianjin.
Lin Ze, dressed in all black and wearing a cloak, left the Lin Mansion and took a car to the train station.
The train station entrance was heavily guarded, but in the distance, it was crowded with gentry and common people who came to see him off.
Wang Zhulin strode over and whispered, "Master Lin, the news spread too fast, everyone knows now, and they're all worried about your departure... Please say a few words to put everyone at ease..."
A young man in the distance shouted, "Master Lin! This is a trap! You can't go. You stay in Tianjin and don't go anywhere else. If anyone dares to cause trouble, we'll fight those bastards! There are over a million people in Tianjin. With just one word from you, you can summon 500,000 soldiers!"
"Yes! Master Lin, you can't go. We'll fight that bastard!"
Almost the entire police force was mobilized, with thousands lined up, creating a spectacular sight.
Zheng Xiaji stepped forward and said, "Master Lin, there's the police headquarters in the city, and Brother Xie Quan's security forces to the north. If things don't go well, we still have room to maneuver. Even if Tianjin, this isolated city, can't hold out for long, we can fight our way back to Shandong Province, or even bypass the Japanese and run all the way to Luoyang. But if you enter Beiping, what if that Okamura..."
Lin Ze smiled at Zheng Xiaji and said, "Old Zheng, your words are very valuable. Your descendants will thank you."
Zheng Xiaji was completely baffled.
Zhou Xuejin, Yoshimura Yuta, and others also came.
Zhou Xuejin's shoulders were covered in a layer of snow, indicating that he had been waiting for quite some time. He just looked at Lin Ze without saying a word.
Finally, Lin Ze waved his hand, "Go back, everyone. Keep things stable, work hard to produce, and don't worry about the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region. The sun will rise as usual tomorrow!"
As he said this, everyone felt that Lin Ze was radiating light.
It's so bright!
Lin Ze and his group entered the station, and fifteen minutes later, the train started moving and headed towards Beiping.
Zhengyangmen Station.
Gao Shengping, Yu Xuecheng, Wang Mengqun, Hua Guzheng, and others were waiting anxiously.
They each felt pressure to varying degrees.
People like Wang Mengqun felt even more pressure. He wasn't qualified to be the chairman of the governing committee; Lin Ze promoted him and used ruthless methods to suppress the local bullies within the committee. Now that Lin Ze was in deep trouble, he immediately felt his position was unstable. Jumping ship was impossible at this point, so he could only pray that Lin Ze could overcome the difficulties.
Gao Shengping didn't feel anything was wrong. He was just worried about Lin Ze. Now, the old Gao had figured things out. He was over fifty years old. He had eaten, drunk, and played his way through life. At worst, he could just go home and live a leisurely life with his lion dog and chubby girl in the courtyard.
Yu Xuecheng remained expressionless as he slowly observed his surroundings, counting who had arrived and who hadn't.
A cold smile would occasionally appear on his lips. This time, when Master Lin came to Beiping, a security notice was issued, which meant that anyone who wanted to know could find out. In the past, the platform was always packed with people who came to greet him. This time, the key figures all came, but the middle-level members of the Governing Committee and the heads of some organizations were not present.
No matter the reason, anyone who doesn't show up today will be kicked off the ship and into the sea, and their place and their luggage will naturally be divided up by the other people on the ship.
After a while, a train of cars came along.
Kitahara Ransuke got out of the car.
Hanaya's eyes widened.
What?! What's going on?!
In his mind, Lin Jun and Kitahara Ransuke didn't have a good relationship. Could it be that Kitahara Ransuke was here on orders to detain Lin Jun?
Hanaya is getting nervous. What should she do?
