Knowing that the Secret Service Headquarters was still conducting surveillance and secret investigation on Kentaro Miyazaki, Toshihiko Okada chose to take a rickshaw instead of taking a car to the hospital for the sake of concealment.
The two of them stood at the entrance of the hospital waiting for a rickshaw.
“Chief, I asked around and found out that the temporary worker from last time did not come to work today.” Pang Yuanju said.
"Oh?" Okada Toshihiko looked thoughtful and shook his head, "This is not normal."
For these temporary workers, if they work for a day, they will receive a day's wages. If they don't work for a day, they may not be able to cook at home, and they will not take time off from work.
“Arrange for someone to inquire about it.” Okada Toshihiko said calmly.
To him, the fact that a temporary worker in the Second Hospital of the Government was dissatisfied with the Locust Army was just a trivial matter, and there was no need for him to worry about it.
“Understood.” Pang Yuanju nodded.
At this time, two rickshaws stopped not far from the entrance of the hospital. The guests got off and the rickshaw driver wiped his sweat with a towel tied to the handle of the car.
“Rickshaw.” Pang Yuanju waved and shouted. He also pointed to another rickshaw, “Both of them, come here.”
“Eh, eh, eh.” The two rickshaw pullers were very happy to find work just after resting, and they pulled the rickshaw and ran over.
“Sir, where are you going?”
“Chiming Temple.” Pang Yuanju said.
"Okay, sit tight." After the two of them got into the car, the two rickshaw pullers shouted happily, pulled up the car and jogged.
While running, a taller coachman asked, "Sir, are you in a hurry? If you are in a hurry, let's run faster."
He was asking Toshihiko Okada.
"No hurry, no rush." Okada Toshihiko said with a smile. As he spoke, he started chatting with the coachman.
Most of the time it was Okada Toshihiko who asked, and the tall coachman answered.
Okada Toshihiko mostly asked questions about the parents' shortcomings. How many people are there in the family? Are the old parents still alive? How many children do they have? They may have enough to eat.
"Have a full meal? I can do that in my dream." The coachman sighed, wiped his sweat with his hand, and said, "We have never had enough food in our lives."
He grinned and said, “Even when I was breastfeeding as a child, I never had enough to eat.”
“What is this statement?” Okada Toshihiko asked in confusion.
“My family is poor, we can’t open the pot, and my mother has no milk.” The coachman said, “When we come to this generation, we just want to do more work, put a few more grains of rice in the pot, and the baby can be filled with water.”
"The Japanese are here, so life will be even more difficult." Okada Toshihiko suddenly lowered his voice and asked.
"How do you say this?" The coachman immediately shook his head, "Now that the emperor is here, good times will come."
Okada Toshihiko laughed loudly. He was now convinced that this rickshaw driver was not suspicious. He was a real rickshaw driver. As the people at the bottom of society who work hard, they are also the ones who understand the hardships of life best. They know what to say and what not to say. It should be said that there are not many coachmen who open up their chat boxes and dare to say anything after a few words from their guests, but they are becoming fewer and fewer:
As far as Toshihiko Okada knows, some people from the Anqing Gang and the police station in Nanjing like to pretend to be passengers to talk to coachmen. Whenever the coachman expresses dissatisfaction with the Empire of Japan, he will reveal his identity and threaten him. In order not to be caught, the coachman, I can only spend money to eliminate the disaster and promise to give extra money. If I don’t have money, that’s easy, as long as I have a wife and daughter...
This is obviously a very careful and "sensible" driver.
"Why don't you go that way?" Okada Toshihiko couldn't help but asked when he saw the driver pulling the car to turn right. This was not the way he came.
“Don’t worry, sir, we’ve agreed on the price, and we won’t take a detour.” The short driver next to him said, “There is Taijun arresting people on Tangfang Bridge over there, so let’s take Niubian Street from here.”
“Are there Japanese soldiers arresting people?” Toshihiko Okada asked in surprise.
"Yes." The tall coachman took over the conversation, nodded and said, "It is true..."
His voice lowered, "It was said that the New Fourth Army has entered the city."
While speaking, the driver also looked back at Okada Toshihiko.
Okada Toshihiko's heart was moved, he looked around alertly, and asked carefully, "How can you tell?"
Gao Yao was Tang Kanlao's valued subordinate. He was a clever man, and he was characterized by telling lies casually without changing his face.
He just said that there were Japanese soldiers on the other side of Tangfang Bridge hunting down the New Fourth Army entering the city. He said this casually:
The New Fourth Army's harassment near Nanjing City has become increasingly intense. Searches will indeed be carried out in the city from time to time in order to hunt down New Fourth Army spies. This is a very reasonable reason.
The reason why they did not take the Tangfang Bridge was because they were worried that the two men would jump into the river and escape.
This is based on the experience Tang Wenlao accumulated after someone jumped into the river to escape in the Minsheng Bridge assassination case, so he specifically warned not to take Tangfang Bridge.
Are these two people from the New Fourth Army?
That’s right if it’s the New Fourth Army!
He suppressed the ecstasy in his heart, looked at the passenger with a meaningful look on his face, and said, "I don't understand what sir said."
Okada Toshihiko smiled slightly and nodded knowingly. This driver was very cautious and smart.
In his heart, Toshihiko Okada was cruel and cold. From the perspective of this rickshaw driver, these Chinese people seemed to be submissive to the Locust Army, but in fact they were all unruly people and secretly wanted to help the New Fourth Army.
Sure enough, it makes sense for Kentaro Miyazaki to be so despicable and hate all Chinese people.
He couldn't help but think of Kentaro Miyazaki's habitual attitude of contempt and annihilation towards the Chinese people.
Here, Pang Yuanju also chatted with the short coachman.
He repeated his old tricks, sighing and revealing the tragic death of his relatives at the hands of the Japanese.
This 'sure enough' resonated with the short coachman.
Compared to taller rickshaw pullers, short rickshaw pullers seem to have much less scruples and dare to speak.
“The Japanese should all be cut to death by a thousand cuts.” said the short rickshaw driver. “If these oriental beasts don’t stay in Japan properly and come to Nanjing to kill people and set fires, they should...”
He paused for a moment, as if he was struggling to find a word to describe it, and finally used the word "death by a thousand cuts":
They all deserve to be cut into pieces by a thousand cuts.
Pang Yuanju glanced at the room chief in the rickshaw next to him:
In this coolie coachman’s poor understanding, death by a thousand cuts is the punishment for the person he hates the most. This shows the depth of this short coachman’s hatred for the empire.
The short coachman suddenly said, "Sir, we heard that there is a lot of chaos over there. The children don't even know who their father is. Is that true?"
Pang Yuanju's expression changed, and he was about to get angry, and then he caught a glimpse of Okada Toshihiko's warning eyes. He could only squeeze out a smile, "I don't know about this, but little Japan can't do anything. Strange."
“That’s a good thing to say.” The short coachman seemed to get more and more excited as he spoke, “Let’s face it, God doesn’t have eyes. If he had eyes, he should kill those bad guys.”
“That’s right.” Pang Yuanju’s face tightened, and he nodded with a smile.
“Thunder Gods don’t have eyesight.” Toshihiko Okada answered from the side, “But sooner or later God can’t stand it any longer and will take care of them.”
“Yes, the earth dragon turned over.” The short coachman immediately said happily.
Okada Toshihiko smiled faintly, and looked at the short coachman with a dark expression that showed a lot of evil. For any imperial citizen, cursing the Great Japanese Empire for the earthquake was an extremely vicious curse.
Perhaps he was too excited to speak and could not see the road clearly. The short driver suddenly let out a squeak, as if he had sprained his ankle. He endured the pain and slowed down, and finally stopped.
Pang Yuanju sneered in his heart, but pretended to be concerned on his face, "Are you okay?"
The tall coachman also stopped quickly.
“How is it?” Okada Toshihiko also had a concerned attitude.
“Sir, please give me a hand.” said the short coachman.
Pang Yuanju stood up from his seat, leaned forward, and was about to go out to help him. At this moment, the short driver suddenly slashed Pang Yuanju's neck with a knife.
Pang Yuanju staggered but did not fall down.
Okada Toshihiko was shocked and hurriedly stood up from his seat, and then he saw a waving stick in front of his eyes.
To be precise, this is a very short but sturdy rolling pin that is very handy.
咣!
The rolling pin hit Okada Toshihiko directly on the forehead. He only felt his eyelids darken, and then he didn't know anything anymore.
On the other side, Pang Yuanju staggered but did not fall down. He was about to fight fiercely with the short driver. Suddenly, a man came out from beside him and a brick hit him on the head.
Pang Yuanju tilted his body and was caught by someone on the side.
The two freshly injured people were quickly put a black bag on their heads, then helped into the truck bed, and the roof of the truck was lowered to cover them.
"Team leader, two big fish! We caught two New Fourth Army!" Gao Yao excitedly announced the good news to deputy team leader Yuan Huafeng, who was holding a blue brick and shot, "These two guys are the New Fourth Army."
