The Justice Episode 41 Recap
> The Justice Recap
Director Zhao worried that the cotton yarn could not be smoothly transported to the rear. Xu Shu arrived in time, saying he could transport the cotton yarn and medicine to the rear. He needed a warehouse that could store thousands of tons of goods, and Cheng Yizhi promised to help him find one.
As the Japanese army suffered successive defeats on the Pacific battlefield, Huang Ruhong proactively wrote a secret letter to Feng Youru, offering to supply materials without charge to quell the chaos. Feng Youru guessed that Huang Ruhong was using him as a retreat, so he went with the flow and accepted everything. Wu Lizi reported the production situation of Shenqin Cotton Mill for the last quarter to Ban Yuan. Ban Yuan felt that the output was too low.
Wu Lizi repeatedly explained that it was caused by machine wear and tear and worker attrition. Ban Yuan did not want the military to make fun of them, so he sent Shimazaki Tadashi to keep a close eye on the cotton mill's production. Sheng'an Hospital discovered a fever epidemic. General Luo immediately reported it to his superiors.
Sato personally came to Sheng'an Hospital for inspection and learned from Dr. Lu that this fever epidemic was caused by the plague, which was highly contagious. The hospital had already admitted fifteen patients, and even one doctor was unfortunately infected. Due to the inability to replenish antibiotics in time, none had recovered yet. Infected individuals with fever also appeared on the ship "Pariyah". Sato dared not board the ship for investigation.
He inquired about the epidemic from Captain Mukoda and chief mate Yamamoto, learning that all infected individuals were Chinese laborers, and no Japanese personnel had been found infected. Sato immediately ordered the Chinese laborers to be left on board for isolation, and Japanese personnel to return home to rest. It turned out that all this was carefully arranged by Cheng Yizhi.
He deliberately spread rumors of a fever epidemic, concluding that Sato would temporarily abandon the ship, allowing Xu Shu to store goods on the seven-thousand-ton "Pariyah" ship. Liu Erlang drowned his sorrows in alcohol all day long. interpreter Dou repeatedly apologized to him. Liu Erlang sent people to investigate, and it was confirmed that the fever epidemic was real. He ordered the news of the epidemic to be sealed off and the ship "Pariyah" to be sealed on the spot.
The rumors spread wider and became more believable, with external reports claiming that 36 Chinese laborers had died on the ship. Xu Shu revealed to Matsumura that a Japanese person from the High Commission Trading Company suspected he had contracted the fever. Matsumura concluded that Liu Erlang would no longer dare to block the news, otherwise, it would be impossible to end.
Liu Erlang reported the fever epidemic to Aoki and suggested sealing the ship on the spot and withdrawing all Japanese troops from the wharf. Aoki readily agreed. Cheng Yizhi's plan was successfully completed, finding Xu Shu a large warehouse with a capacity of seven thousand tons. Tomita, the owner of the trading company, suddenly called Cheng Yizhi for a meeting. Cheng Yizhi learned from him that Feng Youru had executed Heart-shaped Face as a scapegoat.
Tomita admitted that he was ostensibly the owner of the trading company, but in fact, he was sent by Chongqing to be responsible for transporting supplies. Cheng Yizhi hated Feng Youru's actions and completely gave up hope on Chongqing. Tomita entrusted Cheng Yizhi to continue fulfilling Heart-shaped Face's last wish, which was to transport four hundred tons of cotton yarn to the rear.
Tomita promised that after the matter was accomplished, he would apply to Chongqing for a retrial of Heart-shaped Face's case to clear his name. Cheng Yizhi was half in doubt, but Tomita revealed the secret code that Heart-shaped Face had once told Cheng Yizhi. Cheng Yizhi then believed him without a doubt and promised to raise the cotton yarn as soon as possible. It turned out that Huang Ruhong had sent Tomita to find Cheng Yizhi.
He firmly believed that Cheng Yizhi would be willing to do whatever it took to get justice for Heart-shaped Face, and also knew that Cheng Yizhi was a person who longed for light and would never serve the Japanese. Cheng Yizhi provided Tomita with evidence of Feng Youru's embezzlement of the Chen Chen Tung Oil Factory, wanting to put Feng Youru to death.
Shimazaki Tadashi quickly obtained the allocation order for 400 tons of cotton yarn, which had the seal of Aoki's nephew, Hiroshi Nishio. Subsequently, Cheng Yizhi came to Wenquan Pharmaceutical Factory and, under the guise of treating the laborers on the ship for fever, transported six thousand boxes of antibiotics out, delivering them to the "Pariyah" ship overnight. Cheng Yizhi had Zhou Wenquan seal the factory.
On the sixteenth, he arranged for Wu Lizi, Director Zhao, and Zhou Wenquan to evacuate together. Xu Shu had stored 2400 tons of cotton yarn on the ship. Mrs. Lu had already prepared the passes. As soon as the antipyretic medicine arrived, this batch of supplies would be smoothly transported to the rear. Xu Shu asked Cheng Yizhi to evacuate with him, but Cheng Yizhi wanted to stay to raise cotton yarn for Tomita.
Immediately after, Cheng Yizhi closed down Rebang Bank, which he had painstakingly established. He was filled with emotion. Wu Lizi asked Gao Xiaocong to write a notice, using the excuse of a bank inventory to extend the holiday by one day, allowing everyone to take the opportunity to evacuate. Cheng Yizhi asked Wu Lizi to go first with Director Zhao and Zhou Wenquan. Wu Lizi wanted to stay with him, but Cheng Yizhi did not want her to take risks.
If anything happened to him, Wu Lizi could re-establish Rebang Bank. Wu Lizi bid him a reluctant farewell. Cheng Yizhi arrived at the wharf with the cotton yarn delivery order. Tomita was directing the workers to load the goods. A worker accidentally fell, and several large packages of opium fell out of a box. Cheng Yizhi was immediately stunned.
Tomita explained that the opium was used to cover the cotton yarn, but Cheng Yizhi didn't believe it at all and wanted to personally supervise the loading of goods. Huang Ruhong suddenly appeared, and Cheng Yizhi immediately understood everything, realizing that he had fallen into Huang Ruhong's trap. Ban Yuan quickly discovered problems with the cotton yarn assembly order, severely reprimanded Shimazaki Tadashi, and suspected him of working for the Chinese.
Wu Lizi, Zhou Wenquan, and Xu Shu waited for Director Zhao to meet up, and then they would evacuate together. Gao Xiaocong rushed back in a hurry; he saw Huang Ruhong's subordinates at the entrance of the cotton mill and worried that something had happened to Director Zhao. Wu Lizi realized the situation was bad and worried that Cheng Yizhi was in danger. She immediately called Shimazaki Tadashi to inquire about the situation.
