Arranging Wen Peishi on Road 24 is indeed the best choice.
However, Wen Peishi can choose the specific arrangement by himself.
Road 24 is Lu Chengzhou's territory. He served as the inspector of Road 24 as soon as he started working.
He is extremely familiar with every place on Route 24.
I know everyone who lives on No. 24 Road very well.
Whether they are newly moved in or recently moved out, he can always know.
In the afternoon, Lu Chengzhou received a notice that Wen Peishi would treat him to dinner at the West Lake Hotel at 6:30 in the evening.
If Wen Peishi wants to get all-round protection in the British Concession, he must have a good relationship with Lu Chengzhou.
After get off work, Lu Chengzhou changed into a suit and drove to the West Lake Hotel.
Ever since he got a car, Lu Chengzhou felt that the British Concession was very small and he could drive from one end to the other just by pressing the accelerator.
In fact, the entire Haigu is not big, and it only takes half an hour to drive from the south to the north.
Lu Chengzhou arrived at the right time and arrived at the West Lake Hotel at 6:25.
What he didn't expect was that Wen Peishi was waiting outside in person, accompanied by Nozaki.
Compared to Wen Peishi, Lu Chengzhou is just an extremely small person.
In 1919, Wen Peishi went to Paris with the Chinese delegation to participate in the committee. After returning, he served as director of Wu Peiyou's foreign affairs office, Shanghai Customs supervisor, and negotiator.
Wen Peishi participated in the organization and implementation of the Haigu Plainclothes Rebellion in 1931.
Since then, he has maintained close contact with the Japanese side.
"I'm really sorry to keep you all waiting." Lu Chengzhou saw Nozaki and then an elderly man in a fur coat holding a cane. He knew that this was Wen Peishi, a well-known veteran traitor.
Wen Peishi graduated from the Beiyang Naval Academy and went to the UK to further his studies. He speaks English very well.
After returning to China, he fell off the flagpole and broke his foot while doing a probationary operation on a warship.
After the treatment, although he could walk, he became lame.
"The appointment is for half past six. It's not time yet. We're early." Wen Peishi took out his pocket watch, glanced at the time, and laughed.
"It's cold outside, hurry in." Nozaki glanced at Lu Chengzhou. He couldn't figure out why Wen Peishi insisted on waiting for Lu Chengzhou when he was already there.
You know, it's so cold outside and Wen Peishi is sixty years old. Do we have to pay so much attention to a little inspector?
"Yes." Lu Chengzhou said quickly.
"When Mr. Wen came to the British Concession, Director Yu Guanxun originally planned to accompany him in person. But it was not convenient for them to come to the concession, so I had to do it for them." After Nozaki walked to the box inside, he reiterated it again.
What he said was mainly meant for Lu Chengzhou.
Wen Peishi is very important, so let him not put on airs.
Lu Chengzhou naturally knew that Nozaki was waiting for him, and he was really angry.
"You can't say that. When I come to the British Concession, I will ask Mr. Lu to take care of me. From now on, I will leave my life to Mr. Lu." Wen Peishi waved his hand and said with a smile.
He is an old bureaucrat and is much more experienced than Nozaki in these matters in officialdom.
The so-called county magistrate is not as good as the current manager. He can put on airs in front of others, but not in front of Lu Chengzhou.
Why? The military police unit has told him that he will live on Road 24 from now on.
And Road 24 is Lu Chengzhou's territory. His personal safety is controlled by Lu Chengzhou. How can he put on airs in front of Lu Chengzhou?
To put it bluntly, his life was controlled by Lu Chengzhou to a certain extent.
The Pan family wanted to get rid of him quickly, but with Lu Chengzhou's protection, it was difficult for the Pan family to achieve their goal.
But if he offends Lu Chengzhou, or doesn't have enough respect for Lu Chengzhou, who knows whether he will cause trouble?
"Mr. Wen's words are serious. My duty is to protect the country and the people. As long as Mr. Wen is in my jurisdiction, I will do my best to protect safety." Lu Chengzhou said sincerely.
Everyone was carrying the sedan chair. Since Wen Peishi gave him enough respect, he naturally had to say some nice words.
Lu Chengzhou really learned a lot of life lessons from Xie Weihan's telegram.
Wen Peishi and Lu Chengzhou both showed full sincerity, so they naturally enjoyed the meal happily.
On the other hand, it was Nozaki. I don’t know what happened. Wen Peishi and Lu Chengzhou met for the first time and drank for the first time. They were like old friends who hadn’t seen each other for many years. They drank and drank, called each other brothers, and they were so affectionate.
no.
"Mr. Wen, if you can trust me, how about living across from me? There is a house there. It's not big, but it's enough for three or five people. The transportation is convenient, and it's convenient for a few guests to come home." Lu Chengzhou and Wen Peishi
After drinking for three rounds, we formally discussed this issue.
"Mr. Wen plans to stay in a hotel." Nozaki said suddenly.
"It is indeed more convenient to stay in a hotel, but there are so many people and it's difficult to detect strangers blending in," Lu Chengzhou reminded.
"Brother Lu has experience in this matter, I will listen to you." Wen Peishi smiled and said.
"I'll send someone to clean it, and we can move in tomorrow." Lu Chengzhou said.
"Okay, I'll stay at the Lishun Hotel for one night tonight." Wen Peishi nodded.
He was impatient to move to the concession. That Jia Shaoming might take action at any time. How could he put his life in the hands of others?
"Okay, Mr. Wen can move in at any time tomorrow afternoon." Lu Chengzhou didn't expect Wen Peishi to be so impatient.
"Brother Lu, if I join the city office, I won't be able to escape as a councilor in the office." When Wen Peishi left the table, he took Lu Chengzhou's hand and whispered in his ear.
Giving Lu Chengzhou this position was not to allow him to participate in the Municipal Office, but to give him an opportunity to make money.
If you are a councilor at the Municipal Office, you will receive a salary of at least two hundred per month, right?
You should know that Lu Chengzhou currently has another identity, a translator for the Japanese Haigu Army Secret Service. Wen Peishi took the opportunity to win over him, and he could also ask Lu Chengzhou to help him smoothen the relationship.
It is so common to use public money to do favors for private individuals.
"Thank you, Mr. Wen." Lu Chengzhou said gratefully.
Although Wen Peishi kept saying "Brother Wen", Lu Chengzhou could not call him "Brother Wen" because there was a huge age and status gap between the two.
After returning, Lu Chengzhou went to No. 9 Zhaoyang Lane, London Road. Wen Peishi had moved to the British Concession. He had already reported to the headquarters and came to get a reply from the headquarters in the evening.
"What did the headquarters say?" Zeng Zilian and others asked after Lu Chengzhou read the draft of the telegram.
In her eyes, it was just a bunch of code, but Lu Chengzhou took one look and quickly saw the original text.
