International Purple-White Plate - C176

Hioki felt that he was in the wrong, his heart was in a mess, and he quickly calmed down. So it turned out that he was extremely adaptable, and was good at finding logic in nonsense. Hioki said calmly: Father Chalie, don’t be too harsh with your words. Who else knows what you’re talking about? Du Bian, Xiao Ye and Kawashima, these three people, how is it that I have not heard of them? Perhaps there were these people. They were Japanese merchants who had come to China to do business. That hemp-bag shop you were talking about. If it’s there, you’re even more wrong. As far as I know, that shop was opened by the Chinese Government’s War Department Minister, Mr. Duan Qirui. Could he be a spy? The Chinese were not good at business, so they hired a few Japanese to help them manage it. What was wrong with that? Is this what a special agent is? I’ll tell you this: they’re all real businessmen.

In China they were law-abiding, and in Japan they were genuine citizens. They are different from you, but you are a genuine British spy agency. You, as a priest of the church, have taken politics as long as you’ve been here, without a care in the world. What are you not a group of spies? Do you think you can rely on it?

You said it yourself. If you didn’t close your eyes and meditate in the church at night, going to a hack shop or such a distant activity as Guandi Temple, what else could you be doing other than spying? According to your character, the one who started this incident is definitely you. Our merchant had been bullied to the point that he could no longer endure. It was only because he had suffered too much that he decided to take revenge on you. They vented their anger and did a good deed for China, eliminating a foreign spy agency based in the heart of China. Am I right?

Shorty also felt that it was wrong and jumped up again: “No! You’re slandering me! You are being shameless and trying to force the truth out of you! Everyone knows what you are doing. ” Hioki continued: “Mr. Chalie, don’t think that just because your identity is low that you can do whatever you want. That’s what you call slandering people. You can’t rely on what you do. From now on, don’t you dare cause trouble. ” Shorty was so angry that he could not speak anymore.

Hioki said to Zhu Erdian once again, “Up till now, I have not seen a single Japanese person. Just by listening to the words of you, Chalie, it is not worth it. ” Zhu Erdian, Shorty and the British soldiers were all angry beyond words.

Hioki took the opportunity to leave and said to the British Minister: “Mr. Zhu Erdian, I have seen the entire scene. Whether the Japanese are right or not, I offer them my condolences first. I apologize. We are also willing to take on the responsibility that we should be held responsible for. ” After saying that, he turned around and was about to leave.

Zhu Erdian stopped him and said, “Mr. Hioki, you don’t need to go back and investigate. Here you can find out the truth and tell the difference between right and wrong. Let’s have the Chinese government officials bring out the murderer they caught, and we’ll interrogate him on the spot. I’ll make you convinced. ” Hearing that, Hioki’s face immediately darkened: What right do you have to make me submit to you?

However, Zhu Erdian ignored him. She turned towards Sheriff Zheng and said, “Mr. Zheng, how many culprits have you captured? Can you bring it back now? ”

The Sheriff Zheng said: “We first captured two English people, then three Japanese, and then we escorted them back to the city. These people have seriously disturbed our security. Our military police are still on the hunt. “Wait a minute, I believe we’ll catch the killer again.”

Just as the two were negotiating, a police officer ran over to report to Sheriff Zheng: “Sir, we have caught two more killers.” Sheriff Zheng looked at Zhu Erdian, and said in a stern voice: “Bring him up!” Zhu Erdian was immediately happy, causing him to immediately panic. Shorty prepared to step forward and accuse him. The various envoys and soldiers were all looking around. Chinese military police are triumphant.

Before long, the four policemen carrying the two injured spies arrived in front of Sheriff Zheng and reported: “Reporting in: The criminals have arrived!” The policeman pushed the two agents forward and they fell to the ground. Seeing that the two people were Japanese, Hioki immediately became angry. He went up and asked, “What do you do?” The two of them said, “They do business.”

Hioki asked again: “Why are you guys here?” One of the agents said through gritted teeth, “It’s not our fault. We didn’t kill them first. The British Chalie led his men and killed more than a dozen of us. They were going too far! We couldn’t stand it any longer, so we took revenge on them. Last night, Shorty Chalie led people to kill Jin Chun, who was working outside. During the day we found the body and buried it. Mr. Emissary: You have to make the decision for us! Shorty Chalie could not be spared. He was the one who started this incident. Let him pay with his life for those of us who have died! ”

Hearing that, Hioki’s anger towards his own people disappeared, and he questioned Zhu Erdian: “Sir, did you hear that? What did your Chalie and his underlings do?! How many Japanese did they kill? Whether they deserve it or not! ” Zhu Erdian felt that he had nothing to say, and asked Shorty: “Father Chalie, is this true?”

Shorty tensed up and panicked for a moment. He thought to himself, “Even so, I still know how to hold back. If I wasn’t bad at the moment, the Japanese would have found reason. If the minister is silenced, he must hate me. ” Thus, the Shorty raised his head again and denied it flatly, saying, “Mister Minister, don’t listen to their nonsense. They said nothing! They had all planned this out first. When did I kill a Japanese? Now that they’ve killed us, they’re going to sue us first. We can’t spare them! ”

Zhu Erdian was unable to differentiate truth from false and did not know what to do. Patrol ran over and reported to Weidong, “We caught two more people.” Weidong said: “Bring them here!” A few soldiers brought another two people up. Shorty took a look and pointed at the two: “They are all from the Ma Wu Inn Shop. They are purely Japanese spies. They killed us so miserably! ” When the Shorty finished, he sat on the ground and cried.

Hioki pointed at the four Japanese people he caught and scolded them: “You unruly people, come to China and do business as you please, do whatever you want with me. I won’t forgive you! ” He then quietly said to Zhu Erdian: “Don’t make a fool of yourself here. The two of us will go back and each of us will first inquire about the situation of our own people. Then we’ll come together and negotiate a settlement. What do you think? ”

Zhu Erdian said: “This is inappropriate. The truth is already clear, and right and wrong are already clear. You can no longer deny that this incident was caused by the Japanese, can’t you? Now the witnesses are all with the Chinese government. I believe that China, as a third country, is the most reasonable country to seek justice. Let the Chinese government hear and judge the case. Our two countries respect the results. What do you think? ”

Hioki immediately expressed his opposition, his face darkened, and said: “No! We don’t need others to interfere in our matters. “If I go back and find out the truth, you’ll be the ones who started this. You’ll have to bear the brunt of the responsibility.” With that, he ignored Zhu Erdian and instructed the Japanese soldiers: “Bring the four of them back to me for interrogation.” A group of Japanese soldiers stepped forward, picked up four agents and left.

Sheriff Zheng said: “Wait! Mr. Hioki, what you are doing is very inappropriate. I condemn your barbarism! If you want to bring someone back, you’ll need our permission. The murderer killed and killed so many of our military and police officers, and has disturbed the security of the southern part of the city. You will also have to compensate for the losses of the people. You didn’t apologize and brought him back? You will leave the people here for me to negotiate with our government. ”

The Japanese soldiers were still ripping people off. Sheriff Zheng went forward in anger and was about to intercept him. Seeing that the Sheriff Zheng was angry, a large group of ferocious soldiers raised their guns to stop the Sheriff Zheng. The Weidong was also furious, “What are you doing? Are they using force!? ” He waved his hand. The Chinese military police immediately spread out a large circle, surrounding the Japanese people. Chinese military police are also armed with guns.

Hioki waved his hand, and the Japanese retreated, and said to Sheriff Zheng: “He is ours, what is there to negotiate with your Government! The Japanese will have to be interrogated by us! ” He also purposely demonstrated, scaring the Japanese soldiers into saying, “Go to the Guardian Office and bring back all the people that we captured.” The Sheriff Zheng was furious: “Hioki, I protest against your barbaric actions! We captured the people, you can’t take them away! ” Zhu Erdian also said, “Hioki, you are too unreasonable!”

Hioki said: “How am I barbaric? Why is he so unreasonable now? I am acting in accordance with diplomatic immunity! ” After saying that, he turned around and got into the car. The Japanese soldiers then took the four men and left.

Zhu Erdian also said to Sheriff Zheng: “Mr. Zheng, I will be troubling you with the matters at the scene. I’m also going to the Guardian Office to gather our men and interrogate them. ” He also led Shorty and the few envoys to get on the carriage and leave.
