Chapter 147 Qiao’s father knows that Zhou Weimin is coming to propose marriage!
"There are twelve people in their team, and they all carry guns!" the servant said, looking at Qiao Anbang.
"Okay, I understand. You go down first." Qiao Anbang nodded and said.
Wait until this servant leaves.
Qiao Anbang said to the housekeeper Qiao Bei, "Go to the accounting office and get a hundred silver dollars to send these soldiers away."
"Yes, sir." Qiao Bei nodded when he heard that.
After saying that, he turned around and prepared to leave the house.
At this moment, Qiao Linwei suddenly said, "Uncle Qiao, you are not allowed to go."
Upon hearing this, Qiao Bei stopped and looked at Qiao Anbang.
But before Qiao Anbang could speak, Qiao Linwei said again: "Dad, do you know what you are doing?"
"It's because of businessmen like you that these soldiers are so unscrupulous."
"He's the head of a regiment. He ran away with his soldiers before he could even investigate the matter thoroughly."
"These remaining soldiers actually dared to openly extort wealthy families."
"These are soldiers from the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army."
"Can soldiers like these protect us? Can they fight?"
After hearing what Qiao Linwei said, Qiao Anbang did not refute it because he knew that what Qiao Linwei said was true.
Originally, Qiao Anbang had been supporting the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army, and half of the Qiao family's profits every year were used to support the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army.
But gradually Qiao Anbang discovered that the gold, silver and supplies he provided as support all went into the pockets of the top leaders of the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army.
When faced with the Japanese attack, the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army simply fled.
This made Qiao Anbang very disappointed with the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army.
It just so happened that during that time, Qiao Anbang was rescued by the Eighth Route Army because he was escorting a batch of important goods.
Qiao Anbang was grateful to the Eighth Route Army who rescued him from the bandits.
Also because Qiao Anbang was slightly injured, he stayed at the Eighth Route Army base for a few days.
Qiao Anbang has seen a lot of things in the past few days.
It also let Qiao Anbang know that the Eighth Route Army was a real anti-Japanese army.
So from that time on, Qiao Anbang began to secretly support the Eighth Route Army.
"Dad, don't worry about this matter. I'll let Captain Song handle it." Qiao Linwei said when she saw that her father didn't say anything.
"No, we can't let Captain Song handle it."
"If we let Captain Song handle this matter, it will be very troublesome."
"After all, one of them is the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army, and the other is the Tiger Guard Division. They are not from the same system."
"Don't worry about this matter."
Qiao Anbang said quickly after hearing what Qiao Linwei said.
Qiao Anbang had been in contact with Song Yong for several months, so of course he knew clearly what kind of person he was.
This Song Yong is a ruthless person.
If Song Yong were to handle this matter, these Shanxi-Suiyuan troops would be in trouble even if they didn't die.
"Dad, why are you..." Qiao Linwei had just said a few words when the servant who had just left ran in.
"Master, the soldiers outside the door have left, leaving only one soldier behind. He said he has something to tell you." The servant said as he entered the door.
"Go and invite the person in." Qiao Anbang thought for a moment and said.
At this moment, Qiao Anbang knew that he was wrong. These soldiers might not be here to blackmail him.
But I don’t know what this soldier wants to do with me?
After the servants leave.
Butler Qiao Bei asked Qiao Anbang, "Master, do you need to ask Captain Song to come over?"
After hearing this, Qiao Anbang shook his head and said, "No need, he's just a soldier."
Qiao Anbang knew what Qiao Bei meant, which was that he wanted Song Yong to protect him.
But Qiao Anbang didn't think he was in any danger.
Only one person was left behind from a team of soldiers, which obviously did not mean he was a threat to himself.
This may really have something to tell yourself.
At this moment, Qiao Linwei didn't say anything. She was also curious about what the soldier wanted to do with her father.
As for safety issues.
Qiao Linwei is no longer the Qiao Linwei of the past.
Qiao Linwei now has two Browning M1903 pistols on her.
This was given to Qiao Linwei by Zhou Weimin. Qiao Linwei has been practicing shooting in the past few months.
After a while, the servant brought the soldier in.
After the soldier came in, he saluted Qiao Anbang and Qiao Linwei first, and then spoke.
"Mr. Qiao, Miss Qiao, my name is Shitou. Our platoon leader asked me to come here and tell Mr. Qiao and Miss Qiao that the Japanese didn't attack us."
"Outside the city are the Tiger Guards. Now the defense zone of Chidong County will be taken over by the Tiger Guards."
"The platoon leader has already led people to suppress the chaos in the city. I believe that the city will be calm soon."
Qiao Anbang was slightly stunned after hearing this, and then said to Qiao Bei: "Qiao Bei, take the little brother downstairs to eat something."
Upon hearing this, Qiao Bei nodded quickly and prepared to speak.
Just as Qiao Bei was about to speak, Shi Tou hurriedly said, "Master Qiao, there's no need to bother."
"I just came here to pass on a message. Now that I've delivered it, it's time for me to leave."
After saying that, he turned and left the room.
When the servants saw this, they hurriedly followed and prepared to escort Shitou out of the house.
"Dad, did you hear me? I said there were no Japanese soldiers attacking us."
"That useless captain was scared away, and he was scared away by the Tiger Guards."
After the servants and Shi Tou left, Qiao Linwei walked up to Qiao Anbang and said.
At this moment, Qiao Linwei was very happy because he knew why the Huben Division wanted to take over Chidong County.
Zhou Weimin is coming.
"Lin Wei, tell me, why did the Tiger Guards take over the defense of Chidong County?"
"Isn't Chidong County the defense zone of the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army?"
Qiao Anbang looked at Qiao Linwei who looked very happy and asked.
After hearing that the Japanese did not attack, Qiao Anbang's mind returned to normal.
At this moment, Qiao Anbang knew why the soldier came to deliver the message, and he also understood why the Tiger Guards wanted to take over Chidong County.
The message from the soldier was to show his goodwill to the Qiao family.
The Huben Division suddenly took over the defense of Chidong County. It should be that Zhou Weimin is coming.
After all, Zhou Weimin is now the head of a division, and his Tiger Guard Division attaches great importance to safety.
In fact, not only the Tiger Guards Division, but also the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army should be taken seriously.
"Dad, how would I know about the rotation? It's useless for you to ask me." Qiao Linwei said after hearing this.
"Lin Wei, tell me, is Zhou Weimin coming to Chidong County?" Qiao Anbang looked at Qiao Linwei and asked.
Although Qiao Anbang already had a guess, he still wanted to hear the decision from his daughter.
"Yeah." Qiao Linwei nodded slightly and said.
At this moment, Qiao Linwei's face was slightly red because she was the one who called Zhou Weimin to propose marriage.
"When will it arrive?" Qiao Anbang asked calmly.
If it were a few months ago, Qiao Anbang might have been very angry, but now, Qiao Anbang is eager for Zhou Weimin to come over.
After all, the story between Zhou Weimin and Qiao Linwei has spread.
There was no way Qiao Anbang could stop it.
Besides, Zhou Weimin is a national anti-Japanese hero and the youngest major general division commander.
My daughter also likes Zhou Weimin.
What else could Qiao Anbang be dissatisfied with?
The only thing that Qiao Anbang was not satisfied with was that Zhou Weimin came too late.
