Chapter 120: Deliberately Planning Facts have proven that as long as the situation is urgent enough...
Chapter 120: Deliberate
The darkness does not affect Yan Jiuru's consciousness.
However, he still ignited a small fireball with a flick of his finger, illuminating the secret room.
The space below is about ten square meters. There is a small wooden ladder at the back, which can be reached from the hole above. It should be quite commonly used.
There is a small altar on the opposite wall, on which statues and tablets are enshrined!
Yan Jiuru took one look, then another, and moved closer: Damn, it really is, the one being enshrined is actually the Emperor of Japan!
The offerings above are still fresh, including dumplings and meat!
Ugh!
Needless to say, he understood that there was a big problem with the Lin family.
Yan Jiuru looked around again. To the right of the altar was a double-door cabinet, half a head shorter than the altar itself. On it lay a few old books and a foot-long carved lacquer box.
Not far to the left of the altar was a small table with a candlestick, books, paper, pen and ink on it. The candle on the candlestick was half burned.
On the side wall hung a slender scimitar and a black samurai shirt. On the other side was a simple wooden shelf and an enamel basin, as well as a kettle, towels and other supplies.
Yan Jiuru walked to the cupboard and looked at the old books on it one by one.
The funny thing is, the first one is the Red Quotations! You can tell from the wear and tear that it's been read frequently. What's more, it even has annotations.
Yan Jiuru can speak Japanese now.
***
He flipped through a few pages and thought, "This truly is about knowing yourself and your enemy."
I have to say that the Japanese are quite knowledgeable about quotations.
Looking further down, there is a handwritten booklet titled "Guide to the Investigation and Travel of University Students of East Asia Common Culture College."
There are also a few paperback books.
Yan Jiuru arranged them one by one, including a survey on local dialects, a survey on grain crops in a certain place, a survey on road details in a certain place, etc., a total of eleven books.
These are all travel investigation records of Japanese college students in China. There are investigation teams in various provinces and river economic regions, and the content is further subdivided into certain aspects of each person's investigation.
Yan Jiuru looked at two of them, and it can be said that the records were extremely detailed, one of which was from Ze County.
The booklet contains information on what crops are produced locally and the average yield, such as four or five dou of millet, around five dou of foxtail millet and sorghum, around three dou of mung beans and wheat, and two dou of barley. It also includes an analysis of the impacts on these harvests and a comparison of the weather conditions and harvests over the past three years.
Then, the booklet also records a certain river embankment, when it was built, how many years it was rebuilt by Emperor Qianlong according to local people, and so on.
In addition, there are detailed descriptions of when these crops should be planted, the planting techniques that the locals are good at, how to irrigate and harvest, etc. Even various livestock such as pigs, cattle, and sheep have separate survey records.
What is most shocking is that these records are accompanied by hand-drawn diagrams, which clearly show where people live, where there are fields, where there are mountains, rivers, main roads, and small paths.
Even several streets and alleys inside the villages and towns are drawn!
Such a detailed investigation shows how ambitious they are!
***
Yan Jiuru looked at the recorded dates, which were from 1932 to 1943. These records were written in Japanese mixed with Chinese characters, but he could understand them completely.
Yan Jiuru was a little surprised by these contents.
It seems that the Japanese have been preparing for a long time to invade us. Even after the war started, this kind of investigation conducted in the name of college students' travel did not stop.
Yan Jiuru flipped through it again and found a letter of appointment from a professor at Jinnan Academy. The date was several decades ago.
Further down was a document with the words 'Invasion □□' written directly on it.
The document provided a detailed and graphic analysis of how our people were being controlled and enslaved from all aspects, including politics, economy, military, and even through the use of banditry and bank loans.
Okay, no need to look any further, big money, cigarettes, and creams are definitely one of their methods.
This was really beyond Yan Jiuru's expectations.
I thought it was just a small enemy spy or something, but I never expected it to be a big fish, or even a fish nest.
This matter is really not something Yan Jiuru can handle on his own.
When in doubt, seek help from your leader.
Yan Jiuru never makes things difficult for himself. He immediately protected the scene and retreated along the same route.
After returning to the ground, he activated a golden bell talisman to cover the bottom. After leaving the yard, he stopped, thought for a while, and threw another concealment talisman on the yard.
***
He hurried back to his Xinghua Village.
It's inconvenient to make phone calls during the day when there are so many people coming and going, but it's just the right time now as it's the middle of the night.
Even if he wanted to make a phone call, he had to disturb his father-in-law. There was no other way. In order to prevent people from making random calls, the long-distance function of the brigade’s telephone was locked, and only the secretary and the village chief had the key.
He certainly wouldn't disturb the village chief, but would only disturb his father-in-law's sleep.
Secretary Chen shook his head and asked, "Why are you calling at this time?"
Yan Jiuru only said: "He is not from our village."
Well, Secretary Chen understood it as soon as he saw it, and woke up from his deep sleep.
It seems to be a big problem.
Fortunately, he is not from their village.
He gave his son-in-law the key to the brigade headquarters and the telephone key, and told him, "Be careful."
Yan Jiuru responded softly, took the key and left in the dark.
Inside the room, Tian Xiaolian asked confusedly, "What's going on?"
"Nothing, let's go to sleep." Secretary Chen crawled back into bed, but he was no longer sleepy.
***
Director Wu was forced to get up in the middle of the night to answer the phone, but he was not angry.
Everyone in their line of work knows that if the phone rings at this time, it must be something serious.
After listening to what Yan Jiuru said, he couldn't help but rub his forehead hard. This was really tricky.
Because it is not in the vicinity of Yancheng, we have to save time on one hand, and we cannot use local manpower without knowing whether it is reliable.
Director Wu sighed and said, "I don't care what means or methods you use, but you must ensure that no information is leaked before our people arrive."
Yan Jiuru was silent for a moment, then said, "The local police are also investigating. They're just afraid that if they find out the other party's identity and come to visit..."
Director Wu: "Don't worry about that. I'll make the call."
That's good.
Yan Jiuru breathed a sigh of relief.
He had used a concealing talisman outside the Lin family's house. Within a day or two, the villagers would involuntarily ignore their home, and they didn't know when the people sent by the police would arrive...
***
It turns out that as long as the matter is urgent or important enough, distance and time are not a problem.
The next morning, Yan Jiuru met Old Wu, who had rushed home exhausted, and his old partner, Commander Chen, oh, now Deputy Army Commander Chen, as well as several guards accompanying them.
Yan Jiuru was surprised. "Are you traveling overnight?"
They couldn't reach their destination even by forced march, so Yan Jiuru couldn't help but look up at the sky, thinking that the enemy might be coming directly from Kaiwu.
"Are you just a few? Haven't you eaten yet? Come inside and have something to eat first. There's no rush over there, everything is safe."
After hearing what he said, Director Wu and others breathed a sigh of relief.
Deputy Commander Chen laughed and said, "Oh, that's troublesome. The state-owned restaurants are closed during the New Year. Even if I have money and tickets, I have nowhere to eat."
"Anyone else? Invite them over to eat. It's Chinese New Year and we'll be fine. Cooking two pots of frozen dumplings is quick."
Director Wu and others drove two jeeps. The villagers saw this early in the morning and were used to it. They gathered around to take a look, but they let it go since it was not convenient to visit during the New Year.
The Yan family had experienced this a few times before. When they saw Director Wu and others, they greeted them and hid in another room, leaving the space for Yan Jiuru, Old Wu and others.
Chen Yin and her child did not move forward and moved away together.
After a night of travel, eating a bowl of hot dumplings and drinking a bowl of steaming dumpling soup makes me feel refreshed.
It was not convenient to say anything at home. After seeing everyone finish eating, Old Wu thanked them and took everyone to Hexi Village.
***
On the way, Yan Jiuru recounted the details that were inconvenient to talk about on the phone, and finally said: "I thought it was a senior den, so I didn't dare to do it myself."
Old Wu nodded, "It's right to be careful."
Halfway through the journey, Yan Jiuru saw a military truck following them.
Director Wu followed his gaze and explained, "The helicopter made two trips last night."
The vehicle was borrowed from the county armed forces department.
Yan Jiuru did not follow the large group into the village, but instead quietly entered the Lin family from the other side with Old Wu and a reinforcement squad.
After the soldiers took control of the key point, he took Lao Wu down the secret room first.
After looking through those books and documents, Old Wu was also shocked!
Hearing about it is one thing, seeing it with your own eyes is another.
Facing the impact of these things is quite disorienting.
A small Japanese island is deliberately plotting against our Great Xuan Kingdom, which is like an ant plotting against an elephant. But who would have thought that they were not just thinking about it, but had actually started planning it decades ago!
With this step-by-step and bit-by-bit infiltration, I'm afraid these hidden spies have completely integrated into the local people.
If they had not been spotted by Yan Jiuru by chance, ordinary police would have found it difficult to discover their true identities.
Yan Jiuru couldn't openly participate in this matter.
After the secret room and the people were handed over, he quietly retreated.
Matters that have risen to the national level are not something he can participate in now.
***
When Chen Yin saw him, she looked at him inquiringly.
Yan Jiuru pulled her into his room and quietly told her the general idea, mainly to give her an idea.
Chen Yin was so surprised that she couldn't close her jaw for a long time. Finally, she cursed angrily in a low voice: "It's a pity that we didn't capture the Japanese island. The damn Japanese never have good intentions.
The Americans are also stupid. It would be much better if they could just make a few more atomic bombs and drop them there."
Yan Jiuru comforted him, "They have done nothing wrong. They have too much sin to pay for it. If people don't take it away, then heaven will. It will be over sooner or later."
Director Wu and his team didn't waste long. On the seventh day of the Lunar New Year, several nearby villages heard about a major event!
The Lin family in Hexi Village are all Japanese!
"I heard that the wives Lian married were all from their area. They said they were fleeing famine, but in fact they were specially sent by them."
"Also, I saw with my own eyes many soldiers search the Lin family and took out a lot of things. They were all written in some incomprehensible language, including this long Japanese sword!"
"Tsk, what's that? I even saw a shrine being carried out to enshrine the devil emperor!"
