Spy Wars: I can get rewards by being a bully!

Chapter 222 You have to queue up if you want to visit

I wandered into the inner city, walked east, and arrived at Shijinhuayuan Hutong. When I got there, I was shocked to see a long line of visitors!

Although Marshal Wu had been out of office for many years, he was once a top figure and had great influence. If there was anything in Peiping, as long as you had his photo, it would be done. As a result, countless relatives and old friends came to visit him, including those from his hometown, his former subordinates, businessmen, young people who came to visit him because of his reputation, and old-fashioned literati wearing long gowns and holding folding fans.

After all, Wu Shuai has always regarded himself as a scholar of the old school. He has studied classics, history, and literature, and is particularly proficient in the "Spring and Autumn Annals".

This large compound has three sides and covers a very large area. I don’t know whether it has five or six courtyards from front to back. From a distance, I can see a two-story building at the back.

This was also what Xiao Liuzi gave to Lao Wu back then.

But Old Wu took his things and showed him no mercy. When they met, the first thing he said was, "You have brought shame upon your father!"

The scolded Xiao Liuzi was speechless, but he couldn't talk back. After all, while Old Wu was chatting and laughing with his father, he was still eating, drinking and having fun.

There were guards stationed on both sides of the door. Although they were called guards, they were actually just Old Wu's servants.

But these people had indeed followed Old Wu into battle in the past and had always been following him, showing great loyalty.

Standing at the door, they were all wearing the old Beiyang military uniform. The cap badge was very special, with "Fuwei" written on it, which represented the identity of General Wu Fuwei.

They were equipped with guns with special approval from the headquarters and the administrative committee to show respect for Old Wu.

Lin Ze handed a piece of paper to the waiter at the door. The waiter took it and saw that it was written with "Xie, the owner of a silk shop in the outer city".

The waiter thought about it and thought that he had never heard of this. He thought to himself that everyone wanted to see his master now, even small business owners came. Seeing that the man had no intention of paying him a bribe, he rolled his eyes and said politely, "It turns out to be Shopkeeper Xie. I have heard of you for a long time. You see, there are many guests today, and our general has not seen many guests these two days. I am sorry to have you wait for a while, if you have time?"

"Easy to say, easy to say."

Lin Ze queued up consciously.

Although it is called queuing, those who have been at this station for more than half an hour basically cannot see Lao Wu.

Important guests don't need to wait and can come in as soon as they arrive. Second-rate guests will be invited to the flower hall to drink tea and sit and wait. If they really can't see the show, the butler will come out and chat with them for a few words before sending them away. Those standing outside are neither important nor in a hurry.

Lin Ze smoked a cigarette, scratched his forehead, and looked around.

The waiter saw this and sneered in his heart, "With this kind of behavior, you still want to see our general? You don't even know how to give us a red envelope. Just wait!"

By noon, many people had left, but there were still some who were as persistent as Lin Ze. They went to find a place nearby to fill their stomachs and then came back to wait.

It was not until the sun set that people gradually dispersed.

The next day, Lin Ze changed his clothes and appearance and continued to hand out films.

This chapter is about Jia, the owner of Zhenxiang Tower in Jicheng Prefecture.

When the waiter saw this person, he thought to himself that yesterday a cloth seller came, and today a restaurant owner came, but both of them are so blind that they didn't even give a red envelope. Well, you will be treated the same as yesterday's guy, go out and stand.

After he left, the waiter was still talking to the waiter next to him, "Look, our general is still so powerful. Yesterday a cloth seller came to see him, today a restaurant owner came, and tomorrow, maybe even cart drivers and porters will want to see our general. Don't they think that even if our general is hospitable, can he expect so many people to come?"

As he was talking, a car drove over and stopped at the door.

A man in his fifties came down. He was not tall and was rather thin. He had a small moustache, wore black clothes and a black hat, and his eyes looked a little crooked.

The waiter came over to greet him and said, "General Qi, you are here?"

It was Qi Ying who came.

Qi Ying nodded, "Is my eldest brother home?"

The waiter curled his lips. He was an old man in the Wu Mansion and knew a lot of inside information. Although Qi Ying came here eagerly, his general didn't think highly of him at all. He called him "big brother" affectionately, but his general never acknowledged him!

But Old Wu was stubborn and refused to live in the concession, insisting on staying in Peking. Qi Ying was now working for the Japanese, so they couldn't afford to offend him.

With a smile on his face, he said, "I'm here, I'm here, please come in!"

He led Qi Ying inside and gave a wink to the servant at the door, who naturally ran inside to pass the message.

Wu Ziyu was painting in the study. After hearing the report from outside that Qi Ying had arrived, he couldn't help but frown.

His expression turned cold, and he casually ordered, "Let him sit in the flower hall. I'll go see him later."

Just after he finished speaking, he thought about it and changed his words: "No, just let him come here."

After a while, Qi Ying entered the study and nodded, "Yu Shuai, are you painting?"

Wu Ziyu put down his pen, picked up a towel and wiped his hands, "Oh, Director Qi is here."

"Master Yu, please forgive me. Please forgive me."

Qi Xieyuan looked ashamed on the surface, but he sneered in his heart, "You are still putting on airs here! I wonder how long you can last!"

"Director Qi, come and take a look at my painting of orchids and chrysanthemums."

Qi was born in a military academy, and later studied at the Japanese Army Academy. After that, he joined the warlords' infighting. If you ask him how to seize territory and exploit the land, he knows it all. But if you ask him what he thinks of a painting, what can he see with his slanted eyes?

He pretended to go up to take a look and praised, "Yu Shuai has a strong brushstroke. This painting is lifelike. It's a great painting!"

Wu Ziyu shook his head. "I just had nothing to do, so I painted a few strokes. Although the painting is not good, these orchids and chrysanthemums are good things with noble qualities. I think people should have the ambition of orchids and chrysanthemums. Don't be like those fence-sitters. They seem to be able to please everyone, but you don't know when they will be uprooted."

Qi Ying was also a powerful leader in the past. Now he can work for the Japanese with a shameless face. Needless to say, he is very thick-skinned. The offensive power of Old Wu's words is just like a drizzle to him.

He laughed out loud, "I admire you. Yu Shuai is Yu Shuai. He can even explain the truth in a painting. To be honest, I came here to discuss something with Yu Shuai."

Wu Ziyu turned his back and said, "I have long since stopped caring about worldly affairs and just spent my old age tending flowers and plants."

"Hey, Marshal Yu, you are still in your prime, and so many people are thinking about you! Let's not talk about others, but there is one person who has admired you for a long time. Colonel Matsuzaki of the Military Police Command has admired your knowledge for a long time and wants to learn ancient culture. He plans to worship you as his teacher!"
