Chapter 281 Madam’s father Qiao Anbang arrives!
After Brigade Commander Chen and Kong Jie left, Zhou Weimin returned to the office to deal with some things.
It was not until the afternoon that Qiao Linwei sent someone to call Zhou Weimin for dinner.
Zhou Weimin spent the entire afternoon dealing with all the accumulated matters.
In the next few days, Zhou Weimin didn't have anything important to do.
These days, Zhou Weimin accompanied Qiao Linwei to visit Hutou Mountain, which made Qiao Linwei very happy.
Qiao Anbang didn't arrive at Hutoushan until two days before Zhou Weimin and Qiao Linwei's wedding.
Qiao Anbang was accompanied by Qiao Linwei's cousin Ren Feipeng, who came for Qiao Linwei's sake.
Zhou Weimin accepted Ren Feipeng and appointed him as a battalion commander of the Huben Army.
Zhou Weimin did not disperse the group of bandits that used to be under Ren Feipeng's command, and they all belonged to Ren Feipeng's camp.
After Xu Hu took Ren Feipeng away.
Zhou Weimin looked straight at Qiao Anbang, and when he saw that Qiao Anbang was a little flustered, Qiao Anbang couldn't help but lower his head.
It was only at this time that Zhou Weimin said to Qiao Anbang, "Uncle Qiao, tell me everything about you."
"My intelligence agency has been investigating you for a long time and knows a lot of things."
Zhou Weimin was so straightforward. Without any prelude, he asked Qiao Anbang directly.
At this moment, Qiao Anbang was a little flustered. He didn't know whether Zhou Weimin was scaring him or really knew something.
"Eighth Route Army, bandits, northern trade routes..." Zhou Weimin waited for a while, and seeing that Qiao Anbang hadn't spoken yet, he said some words.
When Qiao Anbang heard these words, he knew his own situation, and Zhou Weimin also knew it, so he didn't plan to hide anything.
He slowly said to Zhou Weimin, "Twenty years ago, I met Commander Yan at a banquet."
"At that time, I was also a well-known businessman, and Chief Yan admired me very much."
"I had a pleasant conversation with Commander Yan, but I never thought of joining Commander Yan, so when Commander Yan tried to recruit me, I refused."
"That's because I didn't think Commander Yan would become big and powerful, but I was wrong. Commander Yan finally..."
"After Commander Yan entered Jin, many forces and families in Jin tried to curry favor with Commander Yan."
"My Qiao family is not surprised, and I already knew Commander Yan, so it was natural for our Qiao family to turn to Commander Yan."
"But as time went on, and Commander Yan's army grew, Commander Yan's appetite grew as well."
"This is something that we merchant families cannot bear, so we are planning to rebuild our power."
"It's obvious that we failed and were liquidated by Chief Yan. Since then, our merchant families have become Chief Yan's tools to make money."
......
"Over the years, some merchant families have tried to break free from Chief Yan's control, but they all failed."
"In order to appease these merchant families, Commander Yan chose to become sworn brothers with them, because my Qiao family is small."
"Since Chief Yan completely took control of Jin, he has become increasingly harsh on us merchant families."
"Our merchant families have become Commander Yan's money bags. Not only Commander Yan, but also the Jinsui Army's official troops have begun to oppress our merchant families."
......
"We merchant families know that if we don't find a solution, our descendants will be controlled and oppressed by the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army in the future."
"So we, the merchant families, started to think of our own solutions. I first sent Lin Wei away and asked her to..."
"I also sent Ren Feipeng away and let Ren Feipeng..."
"I thought this would allow Lin Wei and Ren Feipeng to leave the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army, but I was overthinking it."
“So we prepared…”
......
"But now that you've appeared, I really didn't expect Lin Wei to have a boyfriend at school."
"Your appearance and your love for Lin Wei gave me hope that Lin Wei could escape from the Jinsui Army."
"But at that time you were just a regiment leader and your strength was too weak. I wanted you to take Lin Wei to the south."
"But who knew you would develop so quickly and become stronger and stronger."
"Now that my Qiao family has escaped the control of the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army, I, Qiao Anbang, can do whatever I want."
"As for the Eighth Route Army, they saved me a few years ago. I also wanted to give Lin Wei a way out, so I started to support the Eighth Route Army."
"Over the years, I have provided financial support to the Eighth Route Army..."
"I brought Ren Feipeng with me this time because I wanted to give him a future. After all, there is no future for bandits."
"And the northern trade route you investigated has long since disappeared. In these troubled times, how can there be any safe trade routes?"
"The Northern Trade Route still exists, but my Qiao family no longer has the ability to continue using it."
"However, I have also transferred some assets over the years, and these assets are all with Ren Feipeng."
"This is also a way out for Ren Feipeng and Lin Wei. Now that Lin Wei has a family and Ren Feipeng has a future, these assets are no longer of any use."
"I can ask Ren Feipeng to take out all these assets to help expand the Tiger Guards."
Qiao Anbang told Zhou Weimin all his secrets over the years, hoping that Zhou Weimin would consider the assets and not implicate Qiao Linwei.
In fact, Qiao Anbang was wrong. Qiao Anbang thought Zhou Weimin was angry. After all, Qiao Anbang had connections with the Eighth Route Army and had plotted against Zhou Weimin.
But these are all trivial matters to Zhou Weimin, because everything Qiao Anbang did was for Qiao Linwei.
Zhou Weimin just wanted to know whether his guess was correct. After all, in Zhou Weimin's opinion, Qiao Anbang was too cunning.
Zhou Weimin was worried that Qiao Anbang was hiding something from him, and most importantly, he was worried that Qiao Anbang had connections with the Japanese.
This is not a random guess, because at that time many merchants in Shanxi had some connections with the devils.
"Uncle Qiao, I don't want your assets. I'm not short of money, and I'll take good care of Lin Wei."
"As for Ren Feipeng, it depends on his own ability. Uncle Qiao, you can do whatever you want in the future. I don't care."
"But I still hope Uncle Qiao can invest in Guizhou and Yunzhou, because my Tiger Guards will be heading south by the end of the year."
"Guizhou and Yunzhou are where my Tiger Guards will be stationed. We will stay in Guizhou and Yunzhou for several years."
"Of course I'll take Lin Wei with me. You're Lin Wei's father, and I hope you can go south."
"But you should consider these matters yourself. As for the Qiao family's northern trade route, I will ask Zhou Liang to ask Ren Feipeng."
"This trade route is useful to our Tiger Guards, and we have the ability to reopen it."
Zhou Weimin looked at Qiao Anbang, smiled slightly, and then slowly spoke to Qiao Anbang.
