Chapter 1137 The Meat Rots in the Pot

"Look at Ren Hong, he looks like a dead dog! My relatives live in the countryside in the west. I heard that this bastard Ren Hong colluded with the Japanese to run illegal mines in the countryside, treating people like livestock! They were reluctant to use timber, so coal seams and rocks kept rolling down the mine. If someone got crushed to death, they would just find a place to bury them in the mine!"

"The heinous things this scoundrel has done are too numerous to mention. He lends money to ordinary people at exorbitant interest rates. Who can repay such interest? If they can't, they have to go to his black coal mines to dig coal. He doesn't allow these people to come up into the mines, so they live and eat underground. Just think about it, how long can a person live in that dark and sunless place?"

"Why was this son of a bitch tied up? Who disciplined him?"

A man dressed reasonably well whispered, "Look across the stage, the one sitting there, I heard, is Commander Lin!"

"Commander Lin?"

"This Commander Lin is from Tianjin. Once when I went to Tianjin to purchase goods, everyone said that Commander Lin was a living bodhisattva in Tianjin, a Buddha in the world!"

"No wonder, no wonder he was able to punish Ren Hong, and Ren Hong's son is no better!"

"Sir, tell me, Ren Hong claims to be working for the Japanese. Commander Lin is punishing him like this, do you think the Japanese will be happy about it?"

The small business owner coughed and said, "I don't know much about what's going on here! But when I was in Tianjin, I heard people say that Commander Lin has a very strong background! Even the Japanese have to respect him. Once, those Japanese soldiers with long swords tried to storm his mansion, and he killed a hundred or so of them in one go. In the end, the Japanese couldn't do anything to him!"

An old man nodded and said, "Judging from what you're saying, this Commander Lin is probably some kind of Arhat reincarnated!"

Many people, however, were focused on Ren Hong, who was tied to the platform. Some said with a hint of dissatisfaction, "Keeping this son of a bitch tied up like this is too easy on him!"

Fifteen minutes later, a thin man was led down from the platform.

Niu San'er said, "Master, this is Master Liu. He has a nickname, 'Quick Knife Liu.' He slaughters and skins all the cattle and sheep from outside the Great Wall. He's very skilled."

Lin Ze nodded and saw that the man was wearing a leather apron covered in indelible bloodstains, and his fingernails were black and red, indicating that he was a regular customer who had been handling knives for many years.

"Master Liu, don't peel them too quickly today, peel them completely, is that okay?"

Master Liu was both excited and nervous. Back in the day, he was a prominent figure in the cattle and horse market. He not only slaughtered cattle and sheep but also worked as a cattle and horse trader. Because of his sharp eyes and accurate pricing, he made quite a bit of money.

As a result, when the Japanese came, the Ren family gained power and took over the cattle and horse market. The Ren family took a cut of all the transactions, and Master Liu could only make a living by slaughtering cattle and sheep.

"In response to your question! In the past, we would skin the animals after slaughtering them and draining their blood. This time... this time I'm afraid the skin won't be completely removed."

Lin Ze waved his hand, "Do your best. After it's done, you can stay if you want, or come with us if you want. If you stay, I'll help you get a business to make a living, and no one will touch you!"

Upon hearing this, Master Liu became incredibly excited, grabbed his peeling knife, and went up to the stage.

The onlookers fell silent, watching his every move with bated breath.

Ren Hong seemed to realize something and struggled desperately, but his hands and feet were tightly bound and his mouth was stuffed with rags, so he couldn't move or howl.

Lin Ze ordered, "Take the gag out of his mouth and let him shout!"

Ren Hong was in tears, begging for mercy by calling for his grandfather and grandmother.

"Grandpa Lin, Ancestor Lin! Please, please spare me! Please spare me!"

"Spare my life, spare my life, and I'll be your dog, I'll be your dog!"

Master Liu took a deep breath and made the incision from the forehead!

"what!!!!"

The screams were extremely piercing, and the onlookers took two steps back before the crowd went wild.

"Smash! Smash this son of a bitch!"

"Mother! Mother! You have avenged your great wrong! Heaven, you have finally opened your eyes!"

"My little sister was kidnapped by Ren Hong and his son and taken to their mansion. She was brought out a few days later, but she died. Those damned father and son, that damned Ren family!"

The scene that day was extremely shocking. Master Liu performed exceptionally well, peeling off a skin quite completely. After peeling off Ren Hong's skin, Ren Hong was still alive, while his son had already been scared to death.

After being woken up by being splashed with cold water, Ren Hong's son received the same treatment.

The people cheered and jumped for joy, as if it were New Year's Day, while traitors and Japanese devils trembled in fear.

Lin Ze glanced at the group of traitors and Japanese soldiers who had been specially invited to "observe the ceremony" and said calmly, "Ren Hong smuggled military supplies and embezzled military property. What kind of behavior is this? This is treating the General's orders as a joke and making a joke of the security construction of the entire North China region! This behavior seriously affects the construction of the Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere! For such people, of course, we must deal with them severely and ruthlessly!"

After saying this, Lin Ze returned to his residence, leaving behind the terrified crowd.

Those who had been jumping around like Nishimura Shunichi have been arrested, and their trading companies, factories, and mines have been confiscated.

There are specific procedures for confiscation. First, the Industrial Development Bureau sends experts to assess the value of the confiscated assets. After assessment, the assets are injected into an institution under the Northern Federal Reserve that specializes in accepting such assets. In order to preserve and increase the value of the assets, this institution will decide whether to continue operating the assets or to sell them off in a package, depending on the condition of the assets.

If it's sold as a package, the buyer is often an entity like Miyamoto Trading Co., Ltd.

After several transfers, these assets were put into Lin Ze's hands. The whole process was seamless, compliant and reasonable.

Apart from wealthy Japanese merchants like Nishimura Shunichi, the remaining traitors and Japanese businessmen who had not yet been arrested lined up and went to the former Zhang family residence.

They didn't ask to see Lin Ze, they only asked that Master Lin accept their tribute.

They were unwilling to give up half of their family fortune to appease Lin Ze.

If they were to use all their assets to buy their own lives, then they would be incredibly generous.

They had no choice but to be generous; on the small training ground, the Ren family father and son, stripped of their skin, were still hanging there!

In the flower hall, Lin Ze and Okamura Tadashi were sitting there drinking tea, while Niu San'er came back and forth to deliver the asset list.

Lin Ze said to Okamura Tadamasa, "Later, pick out some assets that are easy to monetize, compile them, and report them to your father. This is his share."

Okamura Tadamasa curled his lip. "Give it to him? Brother, the old man isn't short of money!"

"Just give it to him. He won't take care of it himself, so in the end he'll have to hand it over to you anyway."

Okamura Tadamasa then smiled, "Brother, you're right. This is called keeping the meat rotten in the pot and keeping the fertilizer in the family!"

What is all this nonsense? Zhongzheng has learned all sorts of things!
