Under one person: I, Zhang Zhiwei, the arrogant Zhang - Chapter 418 The mastermind behind the scenes appears

Zhang Zhiwei and Huo Yunxie Shen left the factory and went to the Ministry of Industry Bureau in the public concession, where Isaac and his party were.

The Ministry of Industry and Commerce Bureau is a castle-style building with granite exterior walls. It has four floors in European medieval style. The four corners of the building are recessed, so the whole building gives people a sense of weight.

On the side of the Ministry of Industry and Commerce Bureau is the headquarters of the Catholic Church here, Holy Trinity Church.

At the door of the Ministry of Industry Bureau, Zhang Zhiwei was stunned for a moment. Just now, he calculated Huo Tianhong and Lu Yusheng again and found that these two people were still in Holy Trinity Church. Thinking of the cross altar in the previous factory, he now became more convinced that the Cao Qing Gang and the Catholic Church Having an affair.

In fact, he was not surprised by this. The power of the Cao Qing Gang was complex and involved too much. It was normal for there to be collusion, but he didn’t know the extent of the collusion.

Let’s deal with the affairs of those children first, and then touch the Holy Trinity Hall… Zhang Zhiwei thought to himself.

Although he left this matter to Isaac to handle, it didn’t mean that he would turn a blind eye. After all, Isaac was a foreigner and didn’t know much about the country’s conditions here. He might do bad things with good intentions.

When Zhang Zhiwei arrived at the Ministry of Industry Bureau, Isaac, Lu Jin, Lu Ci and his party were already standing at the door.

Isaac is a very careful and gentle person. Considering that as Zhang Zhiwei, coming to the Ministry of Industry and Commerce Bureau may be met with some looks and discrimination, so he stayed here early.

“Oh, Zhang, it’s great that you’re okay!”

Isaac greeted him with a surprised look on his face.

Zhang Zhiwei walked over and shook Isaac’s hand: “Didn’t I say I could handle it?”

Lu Jin, Lu Ci and others acted calmly. Senior Brother Zhang was fine, wasn’t that what he should have done? Nothing to be surprised about.

But soon, they could no longer calm down because they saw the Fire Cloud Evil God standing behind Zhang Zhiwei.

The reason why I didn’t see Fire Cloud Evil God at first sight was because after Zhang Zhiwei burned away his inner demons, Fire Cloud Evil God’s anger became much less violent. Now he looked like an ordinary vegetable seller, standing there. The tall and burly Zhang Zhiwei is too inconspicuous in front of him.

“This…this person…”

Isaac also noticed the Fire Cloud Evil God and quickly took out his wand and stood ready.

“Do not be nervous!”

Zhang Zhiwei waved his hand and said: “This is Senior Fire Cloud Evil God Ancient Han Soul. He was deceived by Yongxin’s traitor before, so he helped the evil spirits to deal with us. I convinced people with my virtue, and after clearing up the misunderstanding, Senior I felt deeply sorry and decided to atone for my sins, so I came with me!”

After hearing Zhang Zhiwei’s words, Fire Cloud Evil God’s mouth twitched slightly. He was so virtuous that he convinced others with his virtue. He only felt that his head was still aching.

“I see. I also think Zhang has noble moral character. No wonder Lu and Lu admire you so much!”

Isaac smiled and said, he put away his wand and originally wanted to shake hands with Fire Cloud Evil God, but when he thought of the other person’s inhuman body, he could crush his hand into bones in an instant, or even tear him into pieces. He retracted his hand and just nodded to Huoyun Evil God with a smile.

Fire Cloud Evil God nodded in response and didn’t think there was a problem. Shaking hands is a Western etiquette. The East doesn’t like this. In the alien world, shaking hands with random people is often regarded as a provocation. The two sides will compete secretly to decide the winner or loser. It’s called a hand-in-hand.

Lu Jin, Lu Ci, and Lu Ren looked at each other and communicated with each other for a while. Based on their understanding of Senior Brother Zhang, this virtue of persuading others with virtue is probably not simple.

You know, Senior Brother Zhang always beats him first, and then explains the principles and principles after the beating. In Senior Brother Zhang’s words, this is called preaching, which is useless. Broken bones are the best textbooks. Which of the three of them has not been beaten by Senior Brother Zhang? Big-eared thunder child? Seeing how the Fire Cloud Evil God looked like a dog-legger when he followed Senior Brother Zhang, he was afraid that he would be beaten badly.

“By the way, where are the children?” Zhang Zhiwei asked.

“It’s not convenient for people to come and go here. Let’s go in, drink some coffee, eat some snacks, and talk while eating!” Isaac suggested.

He is a wizard who does not cultivate his life. He has been running around and fighting for a long time, and he is already hungry.

“OK!”

Several people walked into the Ministry of Industry Bureau and came to the VIP reception room inside. There were classic sofas, soft-sided chairs and log-colored coffee tables.

“Do you want black tea or coffee? Desserts or something? Do you have any requirements?” Isaac asked, he was a little unsure of their preferences.

“Just do as you ask!” Lu Ren said. Although he is the eldest son of the Lu family, he has never been abroad and rarely interacts with foreigners. In order to avoid making a fool of himself, he will not express his opinion now.

“Me too!” Lu Ci said.

“I want coffee, but remember to put more sugar. For dessert, the taste is bland, I like the type with cream; if there is foie gras, it would be better. If there is roast chicken, remember to crisp up the skin a little, and then ask for the rib eye steak. …”

Lu Jin showed his professionalism and talked a lot.

“Me too!” Zhang Zhiwei said. He really didn’t have much research on Western dim sum. He only knew about sweetness. Considering that Lu Jin said the taste was bland, he decided to order the same thing as Lu Jin.

Isaac called a blond female receptionist and made a bunch of requests. The receptionist took notes and turned to leave.

“By the way, Zhang, we sent those children to the hospital for a check-up and found that except for some malnutrition, they are all healthy!”

“However, to send them all home requires a lot of manpower and material resources for investigation, which cannot be done for a while. In the meantime, we need to find a place for these children!” Isaac said.

Zhang Zhiwei nodded: “What are the plans for the Ministry of Industry and Commerce to arrange the arrangements?”

Isaac said: “The plan here is to temporarily transfer it to the Notre Dame Infant Care Center over the Xu family. If the parents are found, they will be sent back!”

“Xu Family Notre Dame Nursery?” Zhang Zhiwei said solemnly: “That’s run by the Catholic Church, right?”

“Yes!” Isaac said: “Zhang, I know that what happened before has made you feel grudge against the Catholic Church, but please believe that most of the clergy in the church are kind and loving. Putting these children in a nursery is the best option at the moment, where they will be cared for by dedicated people and have partners to play with. Even if some children cannot find their biological parents, they can grow up happily!”

With that said, Isaac handed Zhang Zhiwei a stack of information: “Look, this is what Notre Dame Infant Care Center has done in recent years. I believe that after reading it, you will change your mind about them!”

Zhang Zhiwei took the information and read it expressionlessly.

It contains some information about the nursery. As mentioned at the beginning, due to the prevailing concept of male superiority and female inferiority in the previous dynasty, poor families could not bear the financial burden of childbirth. Some families drowned their baby girls when they were born, and some families put their newborn babies abandoned.

The Catholic missionaries could not bear to see this scene and believed that baptizing abandoned babies was their unshirkable duty. Therefore, they established a nursery and started the work of adopting abandoned babies.

For the abandoned babies it receives, the nursery will first have them washed, and then hire wet nurses to feed them diligently. If they die in infancy, the nursery will bury them in coffins with private funds, purchase a cemetery, and ask a priest to consecrate and name them. Said: “Holy Baptism and Rebirth Infant Tomb.”

The surviving children are usually educated by virgins, and most of the expenses are borne by them. These adopted children enjoy the same treatment as the children of the original family, and are often more loved.

There are also commendations from all walks of life in it, which read – Last year in Shanghai, more than 10,000 poor children were abandoned by their inhumane parents, but under the care of the orphanage, they survived and so on.

As for the money for these charities, the sources are complicated, mainly donations from the West, rewards from the government of the Republic of China, and donations from local believers.

“How was it?” Isaac asked.

Zhang Zhiwei pondered for a moment. He did not deny what Isaac said. There are good people and bad people everywhere, and the same is true for the church.

Although their original intention was to preach, they did do many commendable things in the process, such as providing disaster relief, opening missionary schools, and even used their influence to protect a large number of innocent people during times of war. There was once a one-armed priest who saved hundreds of thousands of people over decades, which is worthy of admiration.

But as mentioned before, there are good people and bad people everywhere. To be honest, the nursery is not an honest thing.

Because according to what Zhang Zhiwei later knew, the survival rate of such church-run nurseries was only about two thousandths. That is to say, if a thousand children were adopted, only two would survive.

The nursery of Xu Family Notre Dame that Isaac was talking about is among them. According to statistics, it has adopted nearly 50,000 children of all sizes in the past ten years, but only a mere 197 have survived. people.

In 1953, the state even erected a “Ten Thousand Infants Monument” in this nursery.

What kind of probability is this? Even if 50,000 babies are thrown on the street and good people adopt them, the survival rate is more than that low. How is this different from the infamous Abandoned Baby Tower where abandoned babies are burned?

The reason for this is that the church adopts a large number of babies under the banner of “baby care” and uses this as a gimmick to obtain a large amount of donations at home and abroad.

Just like some caring charity organizations in later generations, they took the money but did nothing. They just raised a few symbolically and killed the rest. Even if the baby girls survived by chance, they could still do hard labor when they grow up, and even be satisfied. Various perverted needs of them and some people in the West.

But Zhang Zhiwei had only seen these things in reports, and what he saw was believing, and what he heard was false. He said, “I want to go and see for myself!”

“No problem, I’ll go take a look too!” Isaac said: “I donate a large amount of money to charity every year, and I also want to see how they do!”

“So good!”

Zhang Zhiwei nodded.

Not long after, the receptionist brought snacks, and several people started eating them immediately.

Zhang Zhiwei took a bite. Although he had been told to use less sugar, the taste was still sweet, but he could still tolerate this level of sweetness.

On the other hand, Lu Ci and Lu Ren were immediately stunned after taking one sip, and quickly drank a few sips of coffee. However, although Isaac’s snacks were sweet, the coffee did not add any sugar, and it was bitter and astringent. The painful death directly turned the Lu brothers into masks of pain.

As for Huoyun Evil God, his expression remains unchanged when he eats. He can even eat the pig food in the mental hospital, let alone this.

And just when Zhang Zhiwei and his party were eating snacks.

Not far away, in the Holy Trinity Church room, Lu Yusheng stood next to the telephone with a dull expression on his face, and the phone fell from his hand.

“Third brother, what’s going on?” Huo Tianhong, the eldest of the three tycoons, asked quickly.

“It’s over, it’s all over!” Lu Yusheng said blankly: “I just received the news that the ‘chemical factory’ in the suburbs exploded. All the people who stayed inside died, and the goods inside that cooperated with the Shasun family are gone. Not only In this way, all the brothers who arranged to go to the Pig Cage Walled City were also killed!”

“What?!” Huo Tianhong suddenly stood up and said with a look of disbelief: “Where is the Fire Cloud Evil God? What does he do for food? Isn’t he known as the ultimate murderer? Can’t he deal with that stinky bull nose from Longhu Mountain?”

Lu Yusheng shook his head and said: “It’s not done. Not only is it not done, he seems to have betrayed him, because along the way a younger brother saw him following the little Heavenly Master from Longhu Mountain to the Ministry of Industry Bureau with a look of shamelessness!”

“Damn it, Dai is deceiving us. He said that Fire Cloud Evil God belongs to one of the most skilled masters in the world. If he takes action, it will be foolproof!” Huo Tianhong suddenly thought of something and asked quickly: “By the way, what godfather is here?” How’s that cellar in the factory where the imps are kept?”

“It’s gone!” Lu Yusheng said: “It was razed to the ground!”

After hearing the bad news, Huo Tianhong’s legs went weak and he slumped down on the chair. He looked a little panicked and said:

“That’s my godfather’s baby bump. If something happens there, we’ll have to walk around without food!”

“There’s nothing I can do about it if I can’t eat it!” Lu Yusheng gritted his teeth and said, “The matter has come to this, we can no longer hide it. We must report it to our godfather and ask him to take action!”

“This…” Huo Tianhong hesitated for a moment, sighed, and said, “Okay, there is really no better way!”

After that, the two people left the room, but did not leave the Holy Trinity Church, but walked towards the deepest part of the church.

White pigeons were rising and falling on the lawn. The two of them walked through a crimson cobblestone road and arrived at an ancient church in the innermost part.

There is a wide courtyard with a complex structure and a large wheel-shaped candle chandelier hanging from the dome.

A tall, thin old man in a red robe stood under the starry candlelight with his hands behind his back, his expression extremely serious.

The door of the church opened slowly, and the candlelight inside poured out like a sea tide. Huo Tianhong and Lu Yusheng stepped lightly, knowing full well what kind of person was sitting here.

The two walked into the hall and saw the old man with his back to them. He didn’t say anything. They didn’t dare to disturb him. Instead, they knelt down and prostrated on the ground.

After a long time.

“You guys should report something to me!”

In the candlelight, the blood-red robe fluttered in the breeze. The tall and thin old man turned his back to them and said:

“Sister Charlotte just told me that the piglets I took away from her not long ago were sent back just now!”
