Period drama: Old Cao's carefree life

Chapter 136 Framed
As it concerned future filial piety, Oda, the Japanese devil, was extremely enthusiastic.

"gather!"

At a command, a squad of Japanese military police quickly assembled with their guns.

Fujita Sousuke happened to be passing by, glanced at it, and was about to leave without paying any attention, but he didn't expect to hear what Oda, the little devil, said next.

"Target: Police Station. Arrest Cao Weida! Move out!"

"Wait!" Fujita Sousuke's eyelids twitched, and he immediately spoke up.

Oda, the Japanese soldier, was taken aback. He turned around and saw that it was Fujita Sousuke. He immediately ran over and said respectfully, "Commander Fujita, what are your orders?"

The Military Police Headquarters consisted of three battalions, and Fujita Sōsuke was one of the three battalion commanders.

Although Oda was not in Fujita Sosuke's battalion and Fujita Sosuke did not directly command him, Oda was still his superior, so he naturally had to treat him with utmost respect.

Fujita Sōsuke looked at him expressionlessly. "I just heard that you're leading a team to the police station to arrest someone named Cao Weida?"

"Hai!" Although the Japanese boy Oda didn't know what Fujita Sosuke meant, he still answered honestly:
"Commander Fujita, I have received information that a police officer named Cao Weida may have connections with the resistance fighters, and we are planning to bring him back for questioning!"

"Connected to the rebels?" Fujita Sosuke frowned as he looked at him. "Don't make any rash moves. Wait for me here."

After saying that, without paying attention to the stunned look on Oda's face, he went directly to the guard post to ask questions and then made a phone call to the police station.

After going through the whole process, he basically understood the whole story.

"Damn it! That damned Oda!" Fujita Sousuke was furious. He had thought that Oda, this nobody, had found out about their affair, and he had been worried for a moment. But he never expected that this was the case!

Damn Xiaotian, damn Qiu Ziming!

If they were to arrest Cao Wei Da and disrupt their money-making plans, they would not be able to atone for it even if they died a hundred times!
With a gloomy face, he approached Oda again. Just as Oda was about to speak, a slap suddenly landed on his face.

*Snap*
"idiot!"

Oda, the Japanese soldier, was completely bewildered and hadn't quite come to his senses yet. When he finally did, he looked up and saw Fujita Sosuke's sinister gaze.

"Oda Taro, who gave you the audacity to mobilize soldiers for your own personal gain! And who gave you that right?!"

"All matters concerning the police station fall under the jurisdiction of the police advisors. You dare to act without permission? I think you're tired of living!"

Oda, the Japanese soldier, was filled with fear. "Commander Fujita, what do you mean by this?"

"You idiot, you still dare to hide it!"

slap~
Another slap landed, and Fujita Sousuke, furious, grabbed him by the collar. "If it weren't for the fact that you're from my hometown, I really wouldn't care whether you live or die!"

"If I hadn't happened to run into you and stopped you, would you really have arrested Cao Weida?!"

"Do you even know who Cao Weida is? Yet you dared to lead a team to arrest him, and on such a baseless accusation!!"

"Do you know that if you really do that, you won't live to see tomorrow?!"

Oda Taro jumped in alarm and said hastily, "Brother Fujita, he's just a Chinese man. Aren't you being a bit too harsh?"

"Are you trying to say I'm exaggerating?" Fujita Sousuke sneered. "This nobody you're talking about is someone most high-ranking officers in Beiping have heard of. His connections are beyond your imagination!"

"If you arrest him today, you'll be dismissed tonight, or even worse."

At this point, Fujita Sosuke stopped speaking and instead said in a warning tone:

"Let me tell you, if you want to stay in Beiping peacefully, as long as Cao Weida doesn't do anything too detrimental to the empire, you'd better not provoke him!"

"Yes, yes, I understand." Oda, the little devil, nodded hurriedly. Fujita Sousuke was so angry and gave such a serious warning. Although he didn't understand how a small Chinese person could suddenly have such powerful connections, he wasn't ungrateful and quickly nodded in agreement.

At the same time, he couldn't help but feel furious. What the hell had that bastard Qiu Ziming done to offend?
"Good to know. Have the troops withdraw immediately. You'd better stay home obediently today!" Fujita Sousuke glared at him, then turned and left.

"Phew~~" Oda Taro couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and after dismissing the people, sent others out to inquire about the news.

After making inquiries, Oda Taro couldn't help but feel a sense of lingering fear.

"I never expected that this little Chinese guy would know Commander Ono and Commander Matsui, and even frequent high-end places! Baka yarou! Is he planning to make me cause trouble with Commander Fujita?!"

"Fine, since you're so reckless, don't blame me for being impolite!"

Cao Weida was lost in thought in his office when Xiao Erduo came in to report: "Brother Cao, someone is looking for us outside. It's a Japanese soldier named Oda Taro."

"Oda Taro?" Cao Weida frowned and thought for a long time but couldn't remember who it was. He invited him in, and when he saw his face, he immediately knew who it was.

He hurriedly stood up to greet him, "Oda-kun, please come in, please come in." "Cao-san, I'm sorry to bother you." Oda-taro had a warm smile on his face, which was completely different from his previous stern expression.

Cao Wei Dalie chuckled, "Lord Oda, you jest! Please sit down. Little Ear, why don't you make some tea for Lord Oda?"

This Japanese guy is the one who mobilized the police station patrol officers to help with the search before, but he hasn't shown up much since then. What does he want by suddenly visiting today?

Could it be that they came here to arrest the people who had been arrested and shut down the shops and stores?
Today, Cao Weida's men sealed off eight shops and arrested thirteen people suspected of being "in league with the Japanese," all of whom were imprisoned.

These guys weren't behaving themselves after they came in; they were all yelling that they wanted to find someone to teach them a lesson.

Now that Oda Taro has suddenly visited, he naturally suspects it might be because of these matters.

But it doesn't seem quite like it. Oda Taro's attitude is too good; he doesn't seem to be there to interrogate anyone at all.
"Mr. Cao, you're too kind," said Taro Oda, who had been smiling throughout, after sitting down.

"Cao-san, you have always been a friend of our Imperial Japanese Army, and I have great faith in your friendship with our Great Japanese Empire."

"I've come here unexpectedly today because I want to tell you something."

He paused, and after noticing that Cao Weida's attention was focused on him, continued:

"Cao Sang, do you currently have a patrol chief named Qiu Ziming among your subordinates?"

Cao Wei Da raised an eyelid. "There is indeed a man named Qiu Ziming. He took sick leave today. Out of consideration for my subordinate, I granted him a period of rest. So, is this what Mr. Oda came for?"

He thought Oda Taro was there to support Qiu Ziming, but Oda Taro's words caught him completely off guard.
"No, no, no," Oda Taro shook his finger, his negative answer leaving Cao Weida somewhat confused.

If they're not here to support Qiu Ziming, then what are they doing here?
"Mr. Oda, I'm a little slow-witted. Please feel free to tell me what you're doing. I'll do my best to help you in any way I can."

"You're too kind, Mr. Cao. It's like this, Qiu Ziming came to see me today."

After Oda Taro recounted the events, Cao Weida was even more confused.

"So, Oda-tai-kun, what do you mean?"

"I have no doubt about Cao Sang's loyalty to the Great Japanese Empire. This Qiu Ziming actually asked me to deal with our friends in the Great Japanese Empire for his own selfish reasons. It's outrageous!" Oda Taro was furious. His anger was genuine. If Fujita Sosuke hadn't intervened in time, wouldn't he have offended Cao Weida?

Judging from Fujita Sōsuke's words, if he offended Cao Weida, he wouldn't even have the right to stay in Beiping!

Even though he didn't say anything, he could imagine what serious consequences might occur!
He was naturally furious that he had almost been killed by a dog.

"Therefore, I've decided to teach him a lesson he won't forget!"

Oda Taro's face turned sinister.

“I suspect that Qiu Ziming is colluding with the rebels. There may be some evidence of his collusion with the rebels in his home. Cao, you can search the house tomorrow.”

"????"

Is framing someone really this simple and straightforward?
Cao Weida felt something was off. Since he said there might be evidence of resistance in Qiu Ziming's house, and ordered a search to be conducted the next day, even a fool could guess what it was.

Tsk tsk, Qiu Ziming, you never expected this, did you? The reinforcements you brought in ended up wanting your life!

At night, two dark figures silently sneaked into Qiu Ziming's house.

The two men had some things in their pockets, and after entering the house, they took them out and began to hide them in various corners.

After hiding everything, the two shadowy figures left silently.

Once tonight is over, starting tomorrow, Qiu Ziming will be the liaison officer for the Military Intelligence Bureau!

Whether it is true or not is no longer important.

Seeing the two men return to report, Oda Taro waved them away, his eyes gleaming with shrewdness. Leaning back in his chair, he muttered to himself, "I gave Cao Weida such a gift today; he shouldn't pursue the matter any further, right?"

The next morning, Cao Wei Da received a report from a friendly person.

So, Little Ears immediately led a group of people into Qiu Ziming's house and dragged Qiu Ziming out of bed.

Qiu Ziming's wife, who wasn't dressed yet, screamed in fright, but was silenced by a slap from Xiao Erduo.

When Cao Weida dragged Qiu Ziming to Ono Oda's office, the Japanese soldier Ono Oda was still in a daze.

"No, Cao Sang, what do you mean? Isn't Qiu Ziming your subordinate? How come he suddenly became a military intelligence radio operator?"

Was Cao Wei Da's ability to discern really that strong? He had only been an inspector for a day when he had already identified a spy in the team.
