Chapter 478 Old events from those days
The "King Yama" back then was indeed quite capable and was quite famous in the northwest.
If he is allowed to continue developing over time, it is not impossible for him to eventually become a local lord like Mr. Huo.
But he did one thing wrong.
The Japanese had already begun to infiltrate various parts of China back then.
It has to be said that those people are really deliberate and they use various methods and means to do it.
One of them is to support some small warlords, take a long-term investment route, and then become the biggest dealer.
Mr. Huo was also visited by those people in the past.
Of course, the Japanese at that time were far from being as arrogant and sneaky as they are now.
Mr. Huo almost believed them.
At that time, their small force was just starting out, and their brothers were all crying out for food and drink.
The old man really thought he had met some kind-hearted person, and the key point was that the other person behaved very well.
It is said that they were originally a wealthy merchant family, but were targeted by a group of bandits and their entire family was brutally wiped out.
His entire family risked their lives to help him escape, and his only wish now is to avenge his family!
The man also said that he brought a lot of banknotes with him when he left. He planned to use the money to support capable brothers, and he only asked them to help him kill those people one day.
To be honest, Mr. Huo was really crazy about it at that time.
He was originally a grassroots person. He was bullied badly in the village. In a fit of rage, he killed the man.
It was the previous dynasty at that time. In order to avoid being hunted down by the government, the young Mr. Huo fled overnight.
He was holding his breath in his heart, and even dreamed of becoming successful!
As for the brothers who came with him, they were servants of the family back then, and the two of them supported each other all the way here.
The old man is a smart man. He has known since he was a child that there is no such thing as a free lunch.
Even if it really existed, how could it happen to someone like me who has never had good luck?
At that time, he had offended a not-so-small local force because of his fight for territory, and he was always worried that the other party wanted to harm him and deliberately set up a trap.
So, the old man patiently calmed the man down while quietly gathering information.
Unfortunately, we only got some sporadic information, which doesn't really explain anything.
The more this happened, the more confused the old man became.
After all, it was a tragic case of annihilation of an entire family. How was it possible that no one in the surrounding area had heard of it?
This was wrong in the first place.
After all, it was a matter of life and future for himself and his brothers, so the old man started to think about it and began to hold banquets one after another, pouring good wine into people's mouths as if it were free.
Women also give them the most beautiful ones, and they must report even if it is just a few words.
In this way, the old man actually noticed something.
Everything was normal with the servant, but the poor young master, after getting drunk one time, accidentally said something very strange.
The woman who was assigned to serve him initially thought it was just some dialect and didn't take it too seriously.
But after she returned, the more she thought about it, the more she felt something was not right.
Everyone here has more or less heard about this man's tragic deeds, and they all know that he is from the Northeast.
Although the woman's hometown is not in the Northeast, she has a cousin who married here, and her accent has never been assimilated into the local culture.
The woman could be sure that it was not Northeastern dialect.
I also heard that the languages spoken in the Northeast are quite similar. Even in some remote places, the differences are not that great.
The more the woman thought about it, the more confused she became. Finally, after some thought, she decided to report the matter to her superiors.
It's just a matter of a word. If you think too much, it won't affect anything.
If something really happens, then she will have made a great contribution and can also get many good rewards.
It was just such a small thing, but unexpectedly, it became the key to the matter!
Mr. Huo asked the woman to repeat the words as best as possible and asked his confidants to listen.
At that time, there were relatively few Japanese people overall, and most of them were distributed in the northeast or coastal areas.
Very few people can come to the inland.
Moreover, those people have all been trained and speak Chinese very well, and rarely speak their native language.
Fortunately, one of the confidants later recognized it and pointed out that it should be Japanese.
He had met Japanese people when he went to Shanghai before.
The intonation of those people was quite special, different from that of the foreigners.
Ok!
It's like the ends of a yarn. Once you find one end, the rest will be much easier.
What's more, Mr. Huo and others were not stupid. After some investigation, they finally confirmed that these two people were indeed Japanese.
Mr. Huo is indeed a reckless man, but he is also concerned about the current situation and has some understanding of the situation outside.
It is no longer a secret that the Japanese are eyeing us covetously.
When you think about the actions of these two people, there is nothing you don’t know.
Old Master Huo immediately and quietly stepped up his efforts to investigate whether other warlords, big and small, had encountered similar situations.
It really proves the saying: You don’t know until you check, and you’ll be surprised when you do.
Several people have it, and everyone does it quietly, without making any noise.
The Japanese are really cunning.
They didn't select all the forces.
First of all, there are not so many people, and secondly, it is easy to be exposed.
Those they chose were either those who were already strong or those who had great potential like the Huo family.
Old Master Huo didn't know whether he should thank them for thinking highly of him.
Speaking of these warlords, big and small, although they usually dislike each other, they also clash from time to time and they can't wait to beat each other's brains out.
But among those who can reach this position, there are no truly stupid people.
And the more rough and uncouth these people are, the more they tend to care about the interests of their country and family.
When the "brothers" in the family have a disagreement, they can fight behind closed doors and do whatever they want.
But if there are bad guys from outside who come and secretly instigate and want to get involved, that would be another matter.
Sorry, we're pausing now to kill you first!
Therefore, those talents carefully trained by the Japanese, who had gone through many checkpoints and various disguises, were the spies who finally got here.
In this way, the warlords united and killed them all silently.
This is their territory, and the mountains are high and the emperor is far away.
When the Japanese realized something was wrong, they discovered that they could not contact any of the people they sent out.
Damn!
how so!
They did send people to investigate, but the people who came disappeared without a trace and there was no news at all.
No matter how stupid the Japanese were, they finally realized that something was wrong at this moment.
