Spy Shadow

Chapter 749 Monitoring Ishihara

Li Zhiqun did not suspect Chen Zhanli, but Xiao Lu had serious suspicions.

It's Tian Wangyuan, who works under Lu Muzhong. If he wants to trick Xiao Yang, he and Xiao Yang are fellow villagers. He also knows that Xiao Yang is out on the field here, so he specifically asked what he has been doing these days.

Where's Xiao Yang?

Li Zhiqun asked immediately. Xiao Yang was lucky. He was not killed or captured in the battle just now.

Director. Xiao Yang lowered his head.

What did you say to him? Li Zhiqun asked.

Director, I didn't say anything.

Xiao Yang was shocked. If the director found that he cheated and betrayed the information, he would be finished soon.

Just look at Chen Xiaoer and you will know that he is a loser. His subordinates were executed even if they betrayed his information, and more than one of them was executed.

Their director is much more ruthless than Chen Xiaoer.

Tell me clearly, what exactly did you say?

Li Zhiqun would not be fooled so easily. Xiao Yang was so frightened that he almost knelt down.

Director, I really didn't say anything. He asked me what I was doing, and I said I had a mission. He asked what mission, how could I dare to mention it, so I didn't tell him?

Does he know this place? Li Zhiqun continued to ask.

I don't know, I definitely didn't say that. Xiao Yang immediately shook his head.

I don’t know, how did that get leaked? Li Zhiqun frowned. Even if Xiao Lu knew this place and who they were targeting, how could the Red Party suddenly come to rescue people with a premeditated plan?

Someone must have leaked the secret, and the leak could only be in three directions.

One is that his men were accidentally noticed by the red party under surveillance. This is the lowest possibility. If the person being monitored notices it, he will find a way to evacuate by himself, and no one else will come to rescue him.

And he had no chance to spread the news. His people were keeping a close eye on him these days, and his every move was within their sight.

Lao Hu didn't have a phone at home, so he had no chance to spread the news.

It couldn't be him. This was immediately rejected by Li Zhiqun.

There are two other directions. One is that there is a traitor under his command, and it is leaked to the Red Party, or Chen Xiaoer's people. This possibility is possible, but it is not very likely.

If there is a traitor under him, Xiao Lu's people don't need to take the initiative to inquire, just let the traitor tell him.

The last possibility is that Xiao Lu found out about the mission he was performing and deliberately leaked the secret.

There are several situations here.

First of all, there was a red party among Xiao Lu's people. After he learned that his people were being monitored, he secretly informed his superiors.

The red party is hidden so deeply that they can't even find it, let alone contact them actively.

Xiao Lu and the others were just ordinary members of the Central Unification Committee before. They were different from Han Yaoquan. After all, Han Yaoquan was a team leader and had contact information of the Red Party, which no one, including Xiao Lu, had.

Therefore, the possibility that there is a red party undercover among them is the highest.

Secondly, Xiao Lu is an undercover agent of the Red Party. He knew that his people were out in the field, found out the situation, and immediately alerted the Red Party, who then sent people to rescue them.

No matter which point it is, Xiao Lu has serious suspicions.

Go back, no one is allowed to leave, no contact with the outside world, find out immediately how they knew this place.

Li Zhiqun believed in his own judgment that there was something wrong with Xiao Lu. If that was the case, it would be more beneficial to him if the Red Party ran away.

Before, he never cared about little people like Xiao Lu. Xiao Lu only rose to great heights after following Chen Xiaoer, and eventually became the director of the Operations Division.

On the way back, the more Li Zhiqun thought about it, the more suspicious Xiao Lu became.

Chen Xiaoer's people worked hard to capture both the military commander and the central commander, but one thing was that they had never found any clues about the Red Party.

Currently, the person working under Chen Xiaoer is Xiao Lu, and he is the only one. Chen Xiaoer doesn't care about anything at all.

Moreover, Xiao Lu’s influence on Zhongtong’s personality was taken away by him in Shanghai District.

Everyone knows that the Red Party and the Central Committee have a blood feud.

Xiao Lu himself was an undercover agent of the Red Party, and later joined No. 76. He discovered that Chen Zhanli and Kubo had an unusual relationship, so he decisively joined them and secured a future.

If this is the case, then Xiao Lu's hiding is really deep enough, and everyone has been deceived by him.

Finding him out is far more meaningful than catching one or two red party members. It will also deal a heavy blow to Chen Xiaoer and even affect Kubo's trust in Chen Xiaoer.

His most trusted confidant turned out to be an undercover agent. Even if Kubo was nice to Chen Xiaoer, he would probably have other ideas.

Sambo, will you be back soon?

Li Zhiqun called Wu Sanbao and he needed Wu Sanbao to investigate Xiao Lu.

Director, are you looking for me?

Wu Sanbao came back soon, and he and Liu Shunan carried him. He didn't believe that the Red Party would really ignore Liu Shengnan. Sooner or later, the Red Party would come to pick up Liu Shengnan, and then it would be time for him to arrest people and perform meritorious deeds.

For this reason, he didn't even keep an eye on Lao Hu and left it entirely to his subordinates.

The red party member surnamed Hu who was found through Boss Guo ran away.

Li Zhiqun said softly that Wu Sanbao had just come back and didn't know something happened to his men.

Run away, what happened?

Wu Sanbao's eyes widened instantly. Lao Hu was the most important person they had discovered recently. Through him, it was possible to catch a bunch of red gangsters. Why did he suddenly run away?

Someone leaked the secret, and members of the Red Party came to the rescue and took him away. Six of our brothers died and three were injured.

Li Zhiqun looked gloomy. There was a traitor hidden among them, a big traitor, and this traitor must belong to the Red Party.

who is it?

Wu Sanbao asked angrily. If he could catch more red gangsters, he could also make meritorious deeds. His subordinates were also there, and he would occasionally go over to check on the people-marking situation.

I suspect it's Lu Muzhong.

Li Zhiqun replied, Wu Sanbao was suddenly startled, Xiao Lu, who was also the director of the department like him.

Xiao Lu is Chen Xiaoer's absolute confidant and the most trusted person.

Director, do you have any evidence?

Wu Sanbao asked anxiously, if Xiao Lu is really a traitor to the Red Party, he will be dead this time.

No, I asked you to come back just to investigate this matter. There are too many coincidences in recent events. It is obvious that someone leaked the secret.

Li Zhiqun said slowly, Wu Sanbao frowned and nodded immediately: That's right, I just arrested someone, and the whole city was in trouble. Even if someone said it, it wouldn't be so fast, because someone would leak the secret.

Wu Sanbao has always been worried about the way he finally figured out how to make a fortune being destroyed.

Now think about it, how could it have spread so quickly if it wasn’t for people who were thoughtful?

Stop staring at Yagyunan. As long as you keep an eye on him, the Red Party won't be able to kill him.

Li Zhiqun ordered that he now believed that there was a traitor inside the Red Party, and Xiao Lu was a major suspect.

Xiao Lu is the director of the department. If he wants to know something, Wu Sanbao can't hide it from him.

Okay, I'll take the people back right away.

Wu Sanbao responded that he was indeed tired of staring. He had gained nothing and the staring was in vain.

Director, is it possible that the traitor is Chen Xiaoer? Don't forget, he has been in the ranks of the Red Party.

Wu Sanbao suddenly said, and Li Zhiqun immediately shook his head: Impossible, how do you think he looks like a traitor? Besides, if he is really a traitor of the Red Party, he will be more useful in the military than with us. The Red Party will not let him be controlled by the military. return to.

Chen Zhanli really didn't look like a traitor at all. A traitor couldn't be like him, ignoring everything and being lazy.

His character is exactly opposite to the style of the Red Party, and the Red Party would never want such a person.

Yes, I didn't expect Lu Muzhong to hide it so deeply. Director, tell me, what do you want me to do?

Wu Sanbao nodded and said that Chen Xiaoer was a traitor. In fact, even he didn't believe it. He just wanted to see if he could pin the traitor's label on Chen Xiaoer.

But it’s impossible for Kubo to believe it, not even Lord Kagesa.

Lu Muzhong's people once asked your men. This is a breakthrough. Try to find out whether Lu Muzhong has found out what we are doing and who we are spying on.

Understood, I will arrange for someone to investigate. Wu Sanbao nodded.

Secret investigation, don't let him know.

Li Zhiqun warned again that Lu Muzhong was not an ordinary person. Not only was he the director of the department, but he had also been very close to Kubo recently. He could not move against such a person without sufficient evidence.

If you arrest someone by force, you may be in trouble.

Yes, don't worry, I have a way to prevent him from knowing.

Wu Sanbao nodded. He was not a professional agent, but there were many people under him who were. Let them investigate and Wu Sanbao would take charge of the overall situation.

Go ahead.

Li Zhiqun nodded, and Wu Sanbao left quickly. He was absolutely interested in investigating Lu Muzhong. If he could really find evidence, even if he couldn't bring down Chen Xiaoer, he would be severely damaged.

His right-hand man is a traitor, and Chen Xiaoer cannot escape his involvement.

Xiao Lu didn't know that Wu Sanbao secretly led people to investigate, but he heard that the people Li Zhiqun was targeting were rescued and they lost several people.

Inside No. 76, secrets have never been kept.

Director, Li Zhiqun suffered a big loss again.

Xiao Lu reported to Chen Zhanli with a smile that he was the happiest when Li Zhiqun was unlucky.

Even God didn't help Li Zhiqun, which shows how outrageous what he did was.

say clearly.

Chen Zhanli glared at Xiao Lu, and Xiao Lu immediately told Chen Zhanli what he heard.

Okay, I get it.

Chen Zhanli stood up. He needed to report this matter to Kubo. He always reported such matters as soon as possible and could not delay.

Li Zhiqun is such a loser. Before he even found out who he was targeting, he let someone run away.

Fortunately, he doesn't need to report further information.

He was targeting the Red Party and was rescued?

After hearing what Chen Zhanli said, Jiubo was startled. Li Zhiqun kept it secret enough that even he didn't know that he was targeting the Red Party. If Xiao Lu hadn't come to report before, he wouldn't even know that Li Zhiqun was targeting people.

Yes, I asked Xiao Lu to investigate. He was gone before he could find out.

Chen Zhanli nodded. After Li Zhiqun's mission failed, the confidentiality was not so strict. After he came back, Li Zhiqun's own men passed the news first. Once they passed it on, Xiao Lu would naturally know.

This is Li Zhiqun.

Kubo was so angry that even if he didn't report to him, he actually targeted people.

The credit you received just flew away.

If Chen Zhanli had done this, this would definitely not be the result.

Sir, he doesn't have you in his heart at all. You are so kind to him in vain. You are an unfamiliar white-eyed wolf.

Chen Zhanli took the opportunity to speak ill of Li Zhiqun. He had never said anything good about Li Zhiqun before. Now that the team leader had a task and asked him to fight with Li Zhiqun, he would not even say a good word about Li Zhiqun.

He is good at fanning the flames.

Kubo's face was gloomy and very ugly.

Chen Zhanli's words touched his heart. In the final analysis, it was Li Zhiqun's distrust of him, and he was not in his heart, otherwise he would not be the last person to know the situation every time.

Li Zhiqun, come to my office.

Kubo picked up the phone and called, and soon Li Zhiqun arrived at Kubo's office.

Chen Zhanli looked at him sideways, with a look of gloating on his face.

Sir, are you looking for me?

Li Zhiqun understood why Kubo was looking for him and asked carefully.

This scolding cannot go away, Chen Xiaoer is here, he must be the one who told the secret, but if Chen Xiaoer does not tell the secret, this matter cannot be hidden.

What's going on with that red party you're targeting?

Jiubao asked directly. Li Zhiqun glanced at Chen Xiaoer and asked in a low voice, Did Director Chen tell you?

Don't worry about who said it or what happened.

Jiubo shouted angrily, Li Zhiqun honestly told him everything he had investigated from the people around Boss Guo.

Why don't you report to me? Kubo asked coldly.

Sir, I wanted to report to you after I have gained something. After all, I only focused on one person. We want the person behind him...

enough.

Kubo slammed the table, but Li Zhiqun was still quibbling, which made him even more angry.

Sir, I was wrong. If anything happens in the future, I will report to you as soon as possible.

Li Zhiqun lowered his head and took the initiative to admit his mistake. He didn't report it to Kubo because he was afraid of leaking the secret. Kubo trusted Chen Xiaoer too much. If he told Chen Xiaoer, the possibility of leaking the secret was very high.

It's not that he doubts Chen Xiaoer, but that Chen Xiaoer doesn't have much sense of confidentiality. Once he knows, his confidants will definitely know.

Another point is that he is afraid that Kubo will help Chen Xiaoer take credit.

Chen Xiaoer now has enough merits. If Kubo really wants to promote him to the top, he must suppress himself and create more opportunities for Chen Xiaoer to make meritorious deeds.

The most important thing is that Chen Xiaoer is very lucky and he has no confidence in his luck.

In fact, in the final analysis, it was his selfishness that was at work.

go out.

Kubo scolded Li Zhiqun lazily. He took the initiative to admit his mistake. Kubo had no intention of pursuing him, but it depends on his future performance. If this is the case, Kubo will really find a way to promote Chen Zhanli to the top.

yes.

Li Zhiqun left in despair. He noticed that Chen Xiaoer was smiling, and he was smiling happily.

Damn Chen Xiaoer, why didn't you kill him in the first place?

Ding Mo and Nan Yun, two idiots, were obviously gnashing their teeth at Chen Xiaoer, but they didn't take advantage of Chen Xiaoer's unstable foundation to get rid of him, which made him so passive now.

For several days in a row, Wu Sanbao stayed at No. 76 and did not go out, but his close men were secretly investigating.

In Chongqing, Principal Chang is angry.

Niang Xipi, Niang Xipi, they have disgraced the Guo Army. What kind of bullshit war are they fighting?

Principal Chang cursed continuously that the war in Shanxi was very unfavorable to the Guo army. He warned them in advance, but they did not make any effective arrangements. As a result, they were defeated in the face of the Japanese attack.

The Japanese army had a very large number of troops. Due to the lack of preparation and laziness of the party defenders, they basically collapsed at the first touch. Wherever the Japanese army went, they encountered not much resistance, but many people fled.

The defeat of the troops has the greatest impact on morale. Affected by the front line, the defenders' will to fight in the subsequent battles will be low. It is conceivable that this state is fighting the Japanese army.

It had been ten days since the war began, and every day I received bad news. No wonder Principal Chang was so angry.

Large tracts of territory were lost, and the losses were even greater.

Many times more people were captured than died in battle.

The morale of all the troops was low and they just ran away without causing any harm to the Japanese. No wonder Principal Chang was so angry.

Others didn't dare to dissuade him. The fight there was really bad this time, which was very embarrassing.

Let the fishermen come over.

After scolding for a while, the old man summoned Boss Dai. After being summoned, Boss Dai ran as fast as possible to the old man.

You ask Ling Yun to find a way to find out what the Japanese army wants this time and when they can stop.

The old man is most worried about Xi'an. If this group of Japanese troops attack Hangu Pass and Tongguan while the iron is hot, Xi'an will be in danger.

Once Xi'an falls, he will have no way out.

Yes, I will notify him immediately.

Boss Dai bowed his head and responded, and Principal Chang sighed: Ling Yun worked very hard and informed us of the situation in advance. It's a pity that these losers didn't pay attention at all.

This battle was so fierce, not to mention compared with the victory like Shanggao, many other places were better than them.

Go ahead.

The old man nodded. Chu Lingyun quickly received an order from Boss Dai, asking him to find out the subsequent movements of the Japanese army.

This one is much simpler.

Chu Lingyun took the initiative to send a report to Tian Junliu. It was not a military deployment. He could directly inquire about pure trends.

Commander, Toru Ishihara is calling.

In Nanjing, Tian Junliu's guard captain came to the office with a telegram. This person was no longer the former colonel. The colonel was promoted and became a brigade commander elsewhere.

Bring it here.

Tian Junliu did not raise his head and continued to look at the document, but he extended his hand.

After getting the telegram, he opened it and read it.

General He Tianjun has achieved a great victory. North China has no worries. Can the Central Plains be won?

Chu Lingyun was asking about the Central Plains, not Xi'an. If he wanted to attack Xi'an, he must first occupy Henan, so that he would have no worries.

Call Boss Ishihara back and tell him not to worry. The Central Plains will be occupied by the empire sooner or later.

Tian Junliu smiled. He knew that Ishihara Trading Company also had a lot of business in the Central Plains. If it were occupied, it would also be beneficial to Ishihara Hiroshi.

But he really has no idea of ​​directly acquiring so much territory now.

After all, he is not a radical.

The occupied areas must be ruled stably and thoroughly digested first, so that there are no worries before moving on to other places.

If they are radicals, they will definitely pursue the victory and try to occupy more territory.

Even if the site can be won, there will be many subsequent problems.

If these problems are not handled well and the territory is occupied by force, the Chinese may take back the territory again. If that happens, it will have a great impact on Japan's morale and influence.

Tian Junliu has his own strategic vision.

After receiving the call back, Chu Lingyun understood that Tian Junliu had no intention of expanding the war. This was good news. Guo Dang also needed some breathing time.

With Southeast Ka Nakajoyama's victory, Tian Shunliu's position was considered stable, minimizing the impact of Ohgahara's failure.

With Tian Junliu's temperament, he really would not expand the war.

If Gangcun takes office, the result may not be like this.

Boss Dai received the call back and reported it immediately. The old man breathed a sigh of relief. It was good to have his own people within the enemy, so he could know the enemy's movements in time.

Since Tian Junliu had no idea of ​​expanding the results and continuing the attack, he could make arrangements calmly.

This time Chu Lingyun once again made a meritorious service and provided important information. It was a pity that the people below did not live up to expectations and failed to show the style of the Guo Army like those in Xiangyang and Nanchang.

Although Xiangyang was lost, they severely damaged the Japanese army and at least achieved their strategic purpose.

In Shanghai in May, the weather is just perfect.

Neither cold nor hot, the old people who have survived the winter are very happy. The passing of winter means they have lived another year.

The average life expectancy of people in this era is very low, especially for the poor. As they get older, winter will become their biggest threat. If they can't survive it, they will die.

Jiang Qihe wiped the sweat from his forehead and finished distributing pancakes today.

A bright smile appeared on his face. He had been studying with Nishida during this period and had made great progress. He was a top student at Imperial University and he could learn the theories of the Red Party.

Although he does not come from a poor family, he strongly agrees with the ideas of the Red Party.

Only when everyone is happy can the world be truly peaceful and healthy.

He blushed at the militarism he had learned before.

Fortunately, he has been doing meaningful things and met a famous teacher, who finally pulled him out of the darkness and stepped onto the bright road.

He has really helped a lot of people in the past two years.

Many people here sincerely call him Jiang Dashanren.

In fact, he understood that Hiroshi Ishihara was not bad at heart, at least not a thoroughly bad person like the Empire.

Although Hiroshi Ishihara monopolized the grain business in Shanghai and made huge profits, he kept the price of coarse grains very low. This alone saved the lives of countless people.

If those grain merchants had controlled grain prices before, coarse grains would have risen to the point where ordinary people could not afford them.

If that happens, a lot of people will definitely starve to death.

He knew best that when others scolded Ishihara Hiroshi for being evil, it was because Ishihara Hiroshi violated their interests, and none of the people who scolded him were poor.

They bought rice at a high price and were made off by Ishihara Hiroshi, so they were naturally dissatisfied.

How's the food storage going?

At Shiyuan Trading Company, Chu Lingyun asked Fang Shiyi that under his order, Shiyuan Trading Company had been hoarding food recently.

All over the world, wherever you can find them, no matter what the price.

It's already quite a lot. Sixty more granaries have been built and they're almost full.

Fang Shiyi replied that the goods they gave to his hometown included grain, but they were mainly fine grains. The hometown of coarse grains had its own methods, so there was no need to occupy precious transportation.

It's not enough. Build another two hundred and fill them all up.

Ishihara Heng shook his head, and Fang Shiyi was a little surprised. To build another two hundred buildings, would they need so much food?

Their granaries are not small. If they build two hundred more granaries, their family can supply all the grain in Shanghai. Does Ishihara Hiroshi want to monopolize the grain business and not give it to others?

This is not right. Ishihara Hiroshi never eats alone and has never done this.

Yes, but with so much extra food, food prices may drop in the future.

The alchemist turned around and said, Chu Lingyun raised his head and looked out the window.

The sun is shining outside the window, it's a good weather today.

If God could always be so kind, he wouldn't need to stock up on so much food. Unfortunately, a huge famine is about to hit.

Chu Lingyun can't help many people, but he will stock up on more food within his ability.

If you can save one, count it as one.

The country is short of food. We can't stand this situation. It's okay if God gives us food. But if God takes a nap, it will be a huge disaster.

Chu Lingyun said slowly, Fang Shiyi's heart trembled.

Hiroshi Ishihara is right. If the weather is smooth now, everything will be fine, but once there is a famine, it will definitely be a disaster.

Neither the Japanese nor the Kuomintang care about the lives of ordinary people.

I understand, I'll arrange this right away.

Ishihara Hiroshi's worry is right. It would be best if there is no famine. They can also digest this food. Food is not rich in all parts of the country. Let alone two hundred cabins, they can sell a thousand cabins.

Just make less money.

White Widow, the Li family in Dongtou has clothes to wash. Go quickly.

In a simple private house in the concession, someone shouted to Lily. Lily hurriedly put away the things in her hands, thanked her and left.

She is currently pretending to be a widow.

She has money in her hands, which is enough for her to eat and drink without worries, but in order to hide her identity, she has to do things. There is a lot of trouble in front of the widow's door. It is better to do things, but it will be harder not to do things.

If anyone knew that she, a widow, had so much money, she would probably die soon.

Let's go.

Seeing Lily coming back with a pile of clothes, Loach sighed slightly.

Washing these clothes can only earn me one meal at most, and it is a simple meal.

Lily has never done this before. Her clothes have always been washed by others. After all, she is a dancer and has a bad reputation, but she can make money.

yes.

The team members responded and drove away.

This was the second time that Loach came to secretly look at Lily. He knew that this was against discipline, so he gave himself a reason to see if Lily would do things according to the team leader's requirements and if she could really endure the hardship.

He understood the temperament of the team leader. Although Lily had learned a lot of women's specialties, the team leader would never let Lily use his body to spy on information.

The team leader is not that kind of person.

Loach has an indescribable feeling towards Lily.

He liked seeing Lily very much and liked Lily's temperament.

He even thought about living a happy life with Lily in the future.

Loach didn't dislike Lily's background. He was just a gangster before, no better than Lily. He was lucky enough to join the security department, and he was lucky enough to be selected into the military intelligence department.

Chu Lingyun didn't know this, and wouldn't object if he knew.

Lily is a nice person, and although Ni Loach is tactful, he is not bad at heart. It might be a good story if the two of them really get together. Ni Loach has been with him for so many years, but he has never gotten married. In fact, it has been delayed.

Lily didn't know that the security arrangements on his side were the strictest, and Loach would know if there was any slight disturbance.

Time passed slowly and it came to the end of May.

Director, we have found out. Lu Muzhong did find out where we are, but we don't know who we are targeting. He was rescued while he was still checking on the Red Party.

Wu Sanbao came to report to Li Zhiqun that he had been looking for a target these days and finally let him instigate one of Lu Muzhong's men.

In fact, the method is not difficult, just get the opponent's handle and then use coercion and inducement.

The target he is looking for is a captain, who is not high in rank, is lazy, and loves gambling.

Wu Sanbao was an expert in this field. He deliberately set up a trap and deceived him into losing all his family property and even his new wife.

Wu Sanbao finally came forward to instigate him to rebel.

Now he has become Wu Sanbao's insider on Xiao Lu's side, and has successfully obtained this important information.

Don't you know who Lu Muzhong is?

Li Zhiqun raised his eyebrows. He thought Lu Muzhong was a member of the Red Party, so he found out everything and informed the Red Party. But he didn't even know who he was targeting, so how could he leak the secret?

But this is not absolute. After knowing where the person is and reporting it, the Red Party will naturally find out that one of their own is being targeted and rescue them.

Li Zhiqun was very smart. He guessed the truth correctly, but he guessed the wrong person.

Continue to investigate. There are also things in the past. What Lu Muzhong has done and where he has been must be investigated clearly.

Li Zhiqun ordered that if Xiao Lu was a member of the Red Party, he would definitely be on the line.

Moreover, Xiao Lu's status is important, and his online status will not be too low. If he finds someone, he might be able to take down the Red Party's lair immediately. By then, he will be able to suppress Chen Xiaoer and achieve great success.

Yes, I'll check right away.

Wu Sanbao left, he was very careful about this matter.

After taking down Xiao Lu, Chen Xiaoer was left alone. If he really lost Kubo's trust, it would be easy to kill Chen Xiaoer.

At that time, the entire No. 76 will truly become their world.

In early June, the weather was better.

This year's grain production is pretty good, and grain prices have dropped a bit. However, the price of rice is still very high, and there is a big price difference between rice outside the city and rice in the city.

Rice in the city still costs more than 400 yuan a stone, but outside the city, the price can be doubled, only more than 200 yuan.

The people at the security headquarters have been very active recently. Yamashita Masari specifically ordered a strict investigation of all people who smuggle rice in and out of the city.

The high profits have led many people to take risks and become rice dealers.

They tried their best to sneak rice in and earn the price difference.

They don't sell it at that high price, as long as it's cheaper than the grain store, they can make money.

However, most people are still found out. Once they are found out, they will face a tragic fate.

Fang Shiyi knew about this and had no sympathy for them.

Rice dealers are all speculators. Ishihara Hiroshi raised the price of rice in order to save more people. The fact that the price of coarse grains has not changed so far is proof.

Those who can afford rice are now rich people.

If Toru Ishihara wants to maintain his image, the price of rice cannot drop. If he is really greedy and wants to eat, he can eat as much as he wants outside the city, and no one will care. If he wants to use rice to make a profit, that is equivalent to tearing down Ishihara Trading Company.

The literary society will naturally intensify its crackdown on such people.

Because Yamashita has arrested a lot of rice dealers recently, he has accumulated a lot of contribution points and is more active in doing things.

Chief Section Chief.

At the dock, Nan Yun brought Jiang Tengkong and Ishida to greet Tu Yuan.

Go back and talk.

Tuyuan nodded and followed everyone into the car. Nagyun and Tuyuan were in the same car.

Nanyun, you've been a little slack at work recently.

Tuyuan said calmly, Nayun felt a chill in his heart and said hurriedly: Master, I have been working hard recently and found some clues.

What clue? Is it from the military commander?

Zhongtong Shanghai District was taken over by No. 76 and currently poses no threat to them. Even if it is reorganized, it will not be possible to build combat effectiveness overnight.

When Xu Lin returned to Chongqing, he was imprisoned by Old Ghost Xu.

Fortunately, Xu Lin was smart and had done something before. Someone protected his life. Old Ghost Xu had no way to kill him and had to lock him up first.

Regarding the reconstruction of Shanghai District, Xu Laogui left it to Bao Shengqun.

He was really tired and didn't want to worry about these trivial matters.

No, from the Red Party.

Nanyun whispered that Juntong was hidden too deep for her to find, but he was really working hard during this period and did not relax.

Jiang Tengkong put too much pressure on her, and she was afraid that Tuyuan would remove her and let Jiang Tengkong take over.

Recently, she has successfully bribed several confidants and asked them to do things for her. All of this was hidden from Jiang Tengkong and Ishida Xiaoshan to prevent them from causing trouble for her if they knew about it.

The internal fighting was deep in her bones, and it was unnatural for her to act like this.

Have you confirmed your identity?

Not yet, but the identity will be determined soon.

Nanyun shook his head, Tuyuan looked at her lightly and said nothing.

Nanyun understood that the master was not satisfied, and even the identity was not confirmed, which was equivalent to coping. However, she was really not sure, and she did not expect the master to come suddenly.

She didn't dare to lie. If the person he was targeting was not a red party member, her end would be even worse.

Returning to the special high school class, the first person Tuyuan summoned was Jiang Tengkong.

This result made Nanyun's hands and feet feel cold. The person Master trusted the most now was Jiang Tengkong. They had something private to do and had been avoiding him.

How has Taro Yagyu been doing lately?

Tuyuan asked directly. In fact, he came here this time just for Yagyu.

The cabinet is preparing to strengthen cooperation between Germany and Italy and form a three-nation alliance of Germany, Italy and Japan in the future. Konoe's indecisive temperament once again showed, but under Saijo's persuasion, Konoe finally agreed.

If a comprehensive alliance is formed in the future, Japan will go to war against Britain and the United States.

Their colonies in Southeast Asia have long been coveted by Japan, as well as the concessions in various parts of China, which will have to be fully recovered sooner or later.

The concession made it very inconvenient for them to do things.

Agents from the Fruit Party or the Red Party always like to hide in the concession, which gives them a sense of security.

Without the concession, let's see where they can hide in the future.

They have a lot to do now and need more money. Yagyu has been performing well before and has become their pocketbook.

He came here to cheer up Yagyu and let him make better money for himself.

It's always been normal.

Jiang Tengkong lowered his head and replied, Tuhara nodded slightly, as long as there was no abnormality, then they would give Yagyu a bigger burden and let him make more money.

But Yagyu will not become the second Toru Ishihara, he will only be a puppet in their hands.

Invite him out tomorrow, I want to see him.

yes.

Jiang Tengkong lowered his head again. It seemed that Tuhara's attention to Taro Yagyu had increased again, otherwise he would not have come to meet him in person this time.

Just don't know what they are going to say.

It is a pity that this information cannot be leaked and can only be told to the Chinese.

But with this handle, if any problems arise with Yagyu in the future, as long as they are revealed to Ishihara Hiroshi, he will definitely die.

The next morning, Jiang Tengkong went to Yagyu Trading Company and took Taro Yagyu to Tuhara's residence.

sit down.

Tuyuan had a smile on his face, a false smile.

Thanks.

Hayakawa Ping thanked him softly and knelt down opposite Tuhara.

How is your contact with Hiroshi Ishihara now?

Tuhara asked, and Hayakawa Heira shook his head: I don't have much contact with him. Although we have been doing business with him, he only contacts us through contacts and rarely meets us.

It is true that Ishihara Hiroshi rarely met with them, and he summoned them once during the last battle with grain merchants in Shanghai.

Who is the liaison officer? Tuyuan asked.

Command's Arata.

I will find a way to transfer him away. Next, you try to be Ishihara Hiroshi's liaison. We will need more information about Ishihara Hiroshi in the future.

Yagyu got on their boat but couldn't get off. Ishihara Toru was at odds with them again, and Ishihara's power was getting stronger and stronger. They wanted to increase their monitoring of Ishihara Toru.

Yagyu is the most suitable candidate, but he is too far away from Ishihara Toru.

I will try my best. Hayakawa Ping nodded.

It's not about trying your best, it's about necessity.

Tuhara looked at him directly, and Hayakawa Hei nodded again: Okay, I must get the position of liaison officer.

Very good. From now on, you must send me regular reports on Ishihara Hiroshi's situation.

Tuhara nodded with satisfaction. Yagyu was still capable and earned them hundreds of thousands of yen in Tohoku and Nanyang in just a few months.

This money goes a long way for them.

Don't stop doing business in Nanyang and Northeast China. The more you make, the more you will share.

Tuhara said calmly that he was not afraid of Yagyu making money, the more he made, the better.

Businessmen or not, they are all sheep raised in their hands.

Yagyu himself has little strength. His biggest role now is to monitor Ishihara Toru. If he loses his role, he can kill him at any time.

At that time, the money he earned will return to his pocket.

If Toru Ishihara had not attracted a group of officers early and expanded his network, he would have inevitably ended up like this.

This is also the biggest reason why Hiroshi Ishihara's intelligence is valued by his master.

yes.

Hayakawa Hei lowered his head and responded, Tuhara didn't say much nonsense and asked him to leave. Yagyu is now theirs.

What he said to Hayakawa Ping soon appeared in front of Chu Lingyun.

Tuyuan and the others finally couldn't help it and sent someone to monitor them.

They probably have some big plans and are afraid of causing trouble on their own.

As for the plan, Chu Lingyun knew it without even thinking about it.

Konoe is indecisive and not strong-tempered. He has been hesitant about forming a true alliance with Germany and Italy to occupy the world.

Radicals already have opinions on Konoe.

Saijo is the most active radical. If Konoe cannot resist the pressure, he will either be removed from his post or resign voluntarily.

With Konoe's temperament, it is more likely that he will resign voluntarily.

To put it bluntly, he just doesn't want to take on greater responsibilities and has no responsibility.

Saijo is now deeply trusted by people and speaks for His Majesty the Emperor. Once Konoe leaves, he has great hope of being promoted to Prime Minister.

Saijo had an idea and planned it in advance.

They were afraid that they would cause trouble and ruin Saijo's dream of being prime minister.

This time they were really overly worried. Not only would Chu Lingyun not cause trouble, he would even help Saijo ascend to power. If he didn't ascend to power, it would be almost impossible to start a direct war against Britain and the United States with Konoe's temperament.

If he didn't take charge, how could Japan make the worst decision and plunge into the abyss of war?

A little bit of encroachment is the biggest bad news for China.

Hayakawa Hei received the reply and did everything according to Tuhara's request without any psychological burden.
