After a brief pause, Chu Mufeng continued: "The second is that Xinjing has rich resources and cheap land prices. Can these not attract the attention of the Kwantung Army? They can carry out immigration activities here, plunder resources, and make profits from it."
"As for the third thing, it is planning from the perspective of political factors and the policy of moving north."
When he said this, Chu Mufeng's expression became serious.
"Did you know? Since 1907, Xinjing has become one of the strongest strongholds of island colonists in the three northeastern provinces. It has consulates, commercial ports and garrisons of island countries."
"As a city with the least influenced by the strength of Fengtian warlords, it is undoubtedly very convenient to manage Xinjing. In addition, from a military perspective, it is very suitable for launching military aggression in our inner region and the Soviet Far East."
"For these reasons, it is difficult for Xinjing to not become the imperial capital!"
The Blood Phoenix suddenly realized.
Following Chu Mufeng is just a gain of knowledge.
...
New Beijing Special, in the high-class interrogation room.
Jiang Guochu is now being detained here, and standing in front of him is Miyazaki Sijun, the special high school major who is in charge of his case.
He would be arrested, all of them were investigated by Miyazaki Sijun.
If it weren't for this guy, Jiang Guochu would never have been exposed.
He never expected that Miyazaki Sijun would use the elite of the special high school class to make arrangements in order to capture him.
"Why, I've already arrived here, don't you want to say it?" Miyazaki Sijun asked with a smile.
"say what?"
Jiang Guochu looked directly at Miyazaki Sijun and said angrily: "Miyazaki Nakasa, I don't know what you are saying, what you asked me to say, I have nothing to say."
"Why do you have to say that I am a spy? Is it possible? I am the first secretary of General Yu Wujiang of the Ministry of Military Affairs. Is it necessary to be a spy?"
"Yes, this is also something I feel strange about. On the side of Manchukuo, you are so arrogant. You have to have power and power, and why do you destroy your future?"
"But yours is indeed a spy, sent by the China Military Intelligence Investigation Bureau. How about it, I'm right, Mr. Sunflower!" Miyazaki Sijun sneered.
sunflower!
Damn it, he actually knows his own code name?
How did he do it?
"Sunflower? Isn't that a nickname? What do you mean by this?" Jiang Guochu looked confused.
He was gritting his teeth and was about to refuse to admit his conscience.
"Hmph, in your Chinese words, you are punished if you want toast or not!"
Miyazaki Miyazaki turned around and said coldly: "Use torture!"
"yes!"
There were miserable shouts coming from the interrogation room.
...
New Beijing, in a Western-style two-story building.
A middle-aged man in his thirties was sitting in front of the window writing something. Outside the window was black like ink, a pot of green plants was placed at the corner of the table, and next to it was a cup of long-cooled tea.
His name is Huadong.
Speaking of identity, he is a very ordinary reporter in Xinjing City.
He is ordinary like a commoner you will meet on the road, just hanging a reporter's ID card.
Swish!
Under the reflection of the light, rows of numbers can be presented on paper in this way.
Each line of numbers is stacked in such a mess, not to mention watching alone or in a whole, it will make people feel confused.
I can't guess what's going on or what it says.
Unless there is a matching password.
That's right, Hua Dong is an excellent spy and the leader of the second group of the Military Intelligence Investigation Bureau in the New Beijing City.
He had almost never conveyed any information since he came to Xinjing to lurk.
It’s not that he can’t collect it, but that he understands his responsibilities and uses them as a dead end.
Unless he is activated, he cannot actively contact his superiors.
Even if something big happens, you can only watch and act as a passerby.
Over the years, Hua Dong has almost forgotten his true identity.
Until two days ago, he was activated.
"Try every means to collect news from Minister of Military Affairs Yu Wujiang! Collect news from Miyazaki Sijun in the special high school class! Search for news from Secretary of Yu Wujiang Jiang Guochu!"
"Await for the special envoy's notice at any time and obey the order!"
This is what he is going to do now.
After knowing what to do, Huadong began to become active.
He began to organize the information he collected.
He was cautious, even if he was at home, he would not explain that he was writing out any valuable information. He was recorded in this garbled way.
In this way, no matter who is found, he will be helpless in the end.
"Jiang Guochu!"
Why collect his intelligence?
At the beginning, Hua Dong was a little puzzled, but later when he was collecting, he learned that Jiang Guochu had been secretly arrested by the Special High School, and he sensitively guessed that perhaps Jiang Guochu was his own person.
Even so, the details he knows are limited.
So before the special envoy arrives, try hard what you should do!
...
New Beijing City, Yu Mansion.
This is Yu Wujiang's residence. As the chief of the military and political minister of the puppet Manchukuo, this place is naturally very vigilant.
There are sentries guarding each key position, and guards patrol every once in a while.
At this moment, the person walking around in the study, frowning was Yu Wujiang.
Although he is a powerful military and political minister, in front of the islanders, he is a lackey without any dignity.
People can use whatever they want, and they want to maintain their so-called dignity and face.
Sorry, your dignity is cheap and worthless.
If he is really powerful and has enough power, will the trusted secretary be taken away casually?
As the saying goes, it depends on the owner when beating a dog.
You group of mad dogs from the special high school courses are so unscrupulous that they arrested my secretary Jiang Guochu without any evidence. Have you ever thought about my feelings?
"They said the National Reserve is an agent of the Military Intelligence Investigation Bureau, is it true or false?"
His wife Zeng Huan was a little unbelievable. To be fair, she had a good impression of Jiang Guochu.
The latter also respects her wife very much!
Jiang Guochu is helping with many of their family’s affairs.
But why is this so? Jiang Guochu suddenly captured by the people from the Special High School? And he was named a spy.
"I don't know either!"
Yu Wujiang shook his head, he really didn't know this.
He only knew that the number of high school students was arrested very quickly, and he didn't even know him. At the meeting, he suddenly came over to take Jiang Guochu away.
At that time, all the people present looked at them with ridicule and disdain.
The expression seemed to be saying: It seems that you are almost at the end of your position, otherwise why would the Special High School class capture your people without giving face to face?
"The National Reserve has been following you for almost ten years. For such a long time, they said he was a spy, so that's it?"
"How could they be so wronged? Lao Yu, is the news spreading outside unearthed groundless?" Zeng Huan couldn't help but frown and whispered.
"What news?" Yu Wujiang asked, stroking the teacup.
"It's said that the island country's consultant will be ready to replace you, saying that you are a little disobedient, so you will first take your secretary to do the surgery, and then it will be your turn, and finally you!"
Zeng Huan said hesitantly.
"Impossible! Nonsense!"
Yu Wujiang sneered disdainfully, "Do you think you can believe such rumors? Do you think the island country's consultant really wants to change me and still need to come up with so many tricks?"
"Well, this is right!" Zeng Huan was relieved quickly.
With the strength of their island consultants in Beijing, do they still need to be so complicated to do things? It’s just a matter of one sentence to replace anyone.
"Is the National Reserve a spy from the Military Intelligence Investigation Bureau? If that's true, what should you do about this?"
Zeng Huan asked worriedly.
"I don't know, just take one step at a time." Yu Wujiang said with a sigh.
"Oh, I really hope it's a misunderstanding. The National Reserve will release it without any trouble." Zeng Huan murmured.
...
Xinjing Railway Station.
When Chu Mufeng and Xue Feng walked out of the train, their appearance changed again.
Now his eyes are slightly sunken, his face is a little pale and yellow, his mouth is covered with a mustache, a pair of black-framed glasses, a gentleman suit, and a civilized staff in his hand.
Xue Feng was wearing a loose dress. She was originally enchanting, but now she seemed to have become an unopened piece of uncooked jade.
This is their current identity.
Chu Mufeng is called Sakuragi Kendo.
The blood phoenix is called Xiaoyuan Fireworks.
Chu Mufeng runs a cultural relics and antique business, and Xiaoyuan Fireworks is his wife.
This identity has been done in Yingluo District for a long time. When Fukuhara Kosang was killed, no one can verify the authenticity.
"This Xinjing is indeed worthy of being the imperial capital of Manchukuo. There are prosperous scenes everywhere. Even this railway station is a bit lively than Fengtian."
Blood Phoenix said after glanced at him.
"Yes, this is inevitable."
Chu Mufeng responded with a smile.
Not to mention the imperial capital of Manchukuo, even if you build a few more government agencies here, it would be impossible not to be lively.
The most common people here are island people wearing various kimonos. They walk around the streets leisurely and greet them. Many of the shops on the streets are written in Japanese.
If I hadn't really known that this place is Xinjing, I would have misunderstood whether it was here to the island country.
"Let's go find a hotel first?" Xue Feng asked.
"Yeah, let's go!"
After the two left the train station, they were about to find a car.
Who would have thought that at this moment, I suddenly saw a bunch of people in front of me burst into laughter, and a man in a suit was pushed and collided back and forth.
There were people around watching the fun, but no one helped them. They all had indifferent smiles on their faces.
"That should be a group of ronin in the island country!" Xue Feng said after seeing their costumes.
"Well, it's the island country's ronin!" A cold light flashed in Chu Mufeng's eyes, but he didn't want to interfere.
After all, the ronin from those island countries all wore samurai swords and did not look good.
If you say that you are righteous, you will undoubtedly cause trouble.
The most important thing is that the man in suit who was bullied by them actually spoke island dialect, not Chinese dialect, which means they were in internal conflict.
Why should Chu Mufeng care about this?
But sometimes I don’t want to manage things, but things come to my door.
The unlucky guy who was bullied fell to the ground after being pushed and pushed, just got up, he was kicked and rushed out, and then fell to Chu Mufeng's feet.
"Baga, are you from the same group?"
A ronin held his samurai sword and glanced over with arrogance.
When he saw the Blood Phoenix, even though the Blood Phoenix looked just like that at the moment, his tall figure still made his eyes shine.
"Please save me!"
The man in the suit lying on the ground looked up at Chu Mufeng with pitiful eyes, and almost hugged his thighs and asked for help.
Chu Mufeng couldn't help but frown.
The ronin is a landscape in Xinjing and even the puppet Manchukuo.
The ronin in the island country is not the kind of chivalrous and righteous hero, but a wandering rogue.
They are the deformed products of the island country's Meiji Restoration period. The declining samurai no longer has glory, so they do things like bullying the weak and stealing the dog. Even in the island country, they are despised.
But in Xinjing, these ronin became weapons of invasion by island countries.
And based on this, ronin also appeared in other cities in China.
They are like a group of wild dogs hidden in the dark, unscrupulously doing things such as selling red pills, trading guns and ammunition, forming cliques, killing, and fighting.
Disturbing society, doing everything evil.
Just like now.
Facing such a weak and gentle man, they took action without hesitation, without any face, and humiliated him hard.
Even after seeing Chu Mufeng, he didn't even consider his identity and poured a pot of dirty water over.
This is the ronin whose nature is evil.
"Help?"
If there is another occasion or someone else, Chu Mufeng may take action without hesitation.
At this moment, he took the initiative to step back, shrugged, and said in the island dialect in a cold and arrogant tone.
"I don't know him, you guys keep going! Let's go!"
After saying that, Chu Mufeng pulled up the blood phoenix and was about to leave.
"Stop it!"
Seeing that Chu Mufeng and the others were about to leave, the one who was the leader of the ronin took a step forward and blocked the road directly, saying arrogantly.
"If you don't know, you won't know? If you don't know, how could he ask you for help?"
"Okay, don't say anything, pay back the money! If you don't pay back the money, don't think about leaving here!"
"Repay the money?"
Chu Mufeng's mouth tilted, and under everyone's gaze, he took a step forward and slapped him hard.
The ronin leader was slapped to the ground on the spot. Not to mention this, he followed him and stepped on him, stepped on the other party's head on the soles of his feet, and rubbed him hard.
Clean and domineering!
"Baga, what are you doing!"
"Bastard, are you looking for death?"
"Damn guy, you're so arrogant!"
Seeing this, the other ronin pulled out their samurai swords and shouted viciously.
"Stop, who dares to come up? Don't blame me for kicking his eyes!"
Chu Mufeng glanced over casually, his tone was cold.
"you……"
The ronin on the other side really dared not take action rashly.
"Thank you, thank you."
Seeing that the situation was reversed, the man in the suit quickly stood up and thanked Chu Mufeng, then turned around and was about to escape.
But Xue Feng naturally would not give him a chance. He reached out to him and was just a beautiful shoulder-shoulder fall!
Plop!
The man in the suit lay down on the ground again, moaning in pain.
He never dreamed that an inconspicuous woman was so good at having such good skills that he didn't even have the chance to dodge.
"Baga, what do you want?"
The ronin leader on the ground struggled and shouted.
"What do you think I want?"
Chu Mufeng squatted down slightly and looked at the other party calmly: "I was originally an outsider, you insisted on pulling me into this matter!"
"I'll just prick up my ears and listen. I'm too lazy to care about the conflicts between you. If you dare to hang around, you will never be able to speak again next time!"
Bang!
After saying this, Chu Mufeng kicked the leader of the ronin away with one kick, and then left the place with the Blood Phoenix.
"Kuriki, are you okay?"
Several ronin quickly chased after him and asked anxiously. Taking advantage of this opportunity, the man in the suit got up from the ground and chased him in the direction of Chu Mufeng.
"I'm fine!"
The ronin leader who was struggling to get up from the ground stared at Chu Mufeng's back with fierce eyes.
"Look at them and see where they are going. I don't believe that they have nothing to do with Fukuyama Hanatsu!"
"Hayi."
Chu Mufeng didn't expect that the man in the suit would catch up from behind and stood there looking coldly.
"Bastard, are you looking for death? You actually cause trouble for me!"
“No, no.”
Fukuyama Hana Tsubasa quickly waved her hands and said anxiously: "Sir, don't get me wrong. I have no other meaning. I just want to thank you for your help!"
"Okay, I get it, you can leave!"
"That, sir, I don't know if I can treat you to a meal."
"Treat me to dinner?"
Chu Mufeng was about to refuse, but when he thought of the purpose of coming here this time, he changed his tone and said, "Okay, I'm a little hungry now, so I'll give you a chance!"
...
A tavern on the street.
The tavern style here is a complete island style, and the owner is also an islander.
"Kun Fukuyama, tell me how you made enemies with those people?"
After a brief exchange, Chu Mufeng already knew the other party’s name and asked casually.
"Oh, it's my bad luck!"
Fukuyama Hana Tsubasaki lowered her head and sighed, "I originally opened a painting gallery, and it was pretty good. Who would have thought that after going to a casino, he was targeted by Kuroki Saburo."
"This bastard set me up a trap, and I didn't say that I lost a lot of money, but I still owed him foreign debts, and kept forcing me to ask for it. I originally wanted to call the police, but who would think this guy has a background in the background and doesn't care at all."
"I haven't paid off my money until now. He beat me once when he saw me. I wanted to sell the art gallery and return home, and I don't want to stay here for a day."
This is an old routine, but it has always worked in the casino.
After setting up a trap and letting people jump in and cheating all the money, the rest will be simpler and become a machine for making money for him, and paying money endlessly.
"What do you mean?" Chu Mufeng asked directly.
"Sir, I want to transfer my gallery to you. I wonder if you are interested?"
After knowing that the other party was about to come here to take the business, Fukuyama Hana Tsubasa said directly.
As soon as he said this, Chu Mufeng raised his eyebrows disdainfully, "Baga, are you a fool? Do you think I will want your painting gallery?"
"Your gallery is now a hot potato. Whoever takes it over will be unlucky."
"Although I'm not afraid of that Kurokawa Saburo, I don't want to cause trouble for no reason. If you think this way, you don't have to drink this wine. Let's just end it like this!"
"No, please listen to me and listen to me carefully!"
Fukuyama Hana Tsubasa finally met a well-known person, how could he miss it like this?
Although he didn't know who Chu Mufeng was, his eyes were very poisonous. How could a person who dared to face Kurokawa Saburo?
Of course, the most important thing is that he concluded that Chu Mufeng should be a newcomer who just came to Xinjing, otherwise how could he fight against these ronin?
Who doesn’t know that ronin is a wild dog raised by the military headquarters? The face of ronin is to be an enemy of the military headquarters.
No one in the entire new capital would do this, but Chu Mufeng did it alone, which is enough to show that he is a newcomer and a newcomer who is unresponsive.
This kind of person is also the best to fool him. As long as he is patient, he will definitely fool him.
"Sir, my painting gallery has a very superior geographical location. Several important institutions in our island country in Xinjing are all near my painting gallery."
"The headquarters of the Special High School Course, the headquarters of the Military and Political Consultative Conference, and the headquarters of the military police team are very close to the painting gallery, and there are often big figures from there to visit."
"You said that you have such a geographical advantage. No matter what business you do, you will make sure to make a profit and never lose money!"
Fukuyama Hana Tsubasa now wants to display his perfect tongue, so what he said is very confusing and he takes the lead in showing a good location.
It was such a good location that when Chu Mufeng heard it, his heart moved secretly. After exchanging sight with Xue Feng, he pretended to be indifferent and said, "Oh, what else?"
"Yoxi!"
Fukuyama Hana Tsubasa, who knew that as long as he had a good location, someone would be interested, followed closely and said.
"In addition, my painting gallery is not only good for the location, but also with people!"
"Really, if you don't believe it, you can go and inquire. My art gallery business has always been good. If it weren't for that bastard Kuroki Saburo who didn't have the heart to run it, the art gallery business would definitely be at its peak."
"If you say you put down my art gallery, you will definitely not worry about lack of business!"
Fukuyama Hana Tsubasa said in a pretentious manner: "I will tell you something else. If you say that you can get the literary masters of China, I guarantee that the powerful people in the new capital will come to visit you!"
"Okay, is it interesting for you to say that?"
Chu Mufeng raised the corners of his lips disapproved, "What kind of reasons you said are the right place and people, are they valuable?"
"It has no value at all! If I can get the antiques, calligraphy and paintings in China, where can I not be sold, I still have to rely on your art gallery to sell them?"
"this……"
Fukuyama Hanatsu lowered her head awkwardly.
"But..."
Hearing Chu Mufeng's words, Feng seemed to have turned around, Fukuyama Huajun quickly raised his head and looked at the other party with anticipation.
"Oh, you said, as long as you are willing to buy my painting gallery, the price is easy to negotiate."
"But I do want to find a suitable shop to do business, but I don't have much money on hand, and every cent is spent on the blade. So you can offer a price. If the price is right, I will go to the painting gallery with you."
"If the price is not right, let's stop this topic!" Chu Mufeng said casually.
Oh, there's a chance!
Fukuyama Hana Tsubasa took a deep breath and said sincerely: "Sir, when I bought that painting gallery, I did not spend much money, but I also invested a lot of it in the decorations and other things."
"In this way, two thousand yen, only two thousand yen will be yours. I will leave all the things inside for you. What do you think?"
Fukuyama Hana Tsubasa raised two fingers and said.
"Oh, you can leave!" Chu Mufeng immediately said indifferently when he heard the price.
"Well, sir, if you think the price is not suitable, let's discuss it." Fukuyama Hanatsu hurriedly begged.
"You are too greedy!"
Xue Feng couldn't help but say, "Do you want to use us as fat sheep? Two thousand yen? You really dare to speak loudly."
"One thousand, then what about one thousand? It really can't be less!" Fukuyama Hanatsu's price cut was reduced quickly.
"Take us to see your painting gallery!" Chu Mufeng said lightly.
"Okay OK!"
After leaving the tavern, I took a rickshaw to pass by for about ten minutes, and then I arrived at the painting gallery that Fukuyama Hana Tsubasa mentioned.
On the way in the past, Chu Mufeng did see the institutions mentioned by Fukuyama Hana Jun.
The headquarters of the Special High School Course.
The headquarters of the military police.
Headquarters of the consultant association.
They are all on this street.
It's really pushed.
"Then, this is my painting gallery. How do you see?"
After walking in with Chu Mufeng and Xue Feng, Fukuyama Huajun pointed to the album hanging on the walls with a little pride and said.
This so-called painting museum is about 80 square meters and is divided into two places, with the front and back, with the front and the residence behind.
This pattern is actually good, at least it can solve the accommodation problem.
As for the decoration of the front hall, it is actually very simple. It is just a whitewash, then an electric light is installed, and a scroll is hung on all four walls.
After turning around, Chu Mufeng directly pulled a chair and sat down, looking at the other party slowly, saying, "Kun Fukuyama, you are so anxious to sell the art gallery because you are forced and threatened by Kuroki Saburo."
"Then I wonder if he would come to me if he bought your art gallery?"
"This... probably won't be the case, after all, the master has been changed!"
"Probably not?"
Chu Mufeng raised his lips slightly and said, "You and I know it well. A scoundrel like Kuroki Saburo will definitely come to find trouble!"
"He doesn't care who the owner of this painting library is, so it's okay if you want me to buy your painting library. Just settle Kuroki Saburo for me."
"You pay back the money you owe him, so I might consider buying your art gallery. Otherwise, I think there are shops on this street. It is better to rent a business than to buy yours, right?"
"this……"
Fukuyama Hana Tsubasaku pondered for a moment, raised his head and said, "I owe Kuroki Saburo 400 yen, so if you want to buy my shop, you will have to at least 1,200. I will be responsible for handling Kuroki Saburo. What do you think?"
"Eight hundred!"
Chu Mufeng gave a number without saying a word, "I only have eight hundred. If you think it is acceptable, we will go through the procedures. If you think the price I give is low, then I won't buy it!"
"Sir, can you add more?" Fukuyama Hana Tsubasa said with a sad face.
"cannot."
Chu Mufeng said coldly: "I can only pay so much. If I don't want to, I won't force it!"
"All right!"
Fukuyama Hana Tsubasa hesitated and said decisively: "The deal is eight hundred and eight hundred!"
Some people may think it is impossible to buy a painting gallery for 800 yen. In fact, before World War II, the yen was very strong and had strong purchasing power.
At that time, one yen and one silver dollar were equal. Ordinary people could earn ten yen a month and hire servants.
"The procedures here should not be complicated, right?" Xue Feng looked at the scroll on the wall and asked casually.
"It's not complicated, it's very simple." Fukuyama Hana Tsubasa said quickly.
"That's good." Xue Feng nodded.
"By the way, there should be a hotel on this street, right?" Chu Mufeng asked.
"Some, some, there is a hotel called Banyuewan not far ahead. The accommodations there are very good, and we can rank at the forefront in our entire New Beijing." Fukuyama Hana Tsubasa introduced.
"Yoxi!"
Chu Mufeng said and walked outside: "Let's go to that hotel to rest first. If you get Kuroki Saburo's words, just say to me. I will watch you get the IOU with your own eyes before you can hand it over to you."
"OK!"
Fukuyama Hana Tsubasa turned around and walked outside, "I'm very familiar with that hotel. Let's go, I'll help you book a room, it's cheaper."
"OK!"
What Fukuyama Huajun was thinking? Chu Mufeng knew it very well. He was just afraid that he would leave like this and that he would have no place to look for it, so he had to follow it even if he had to work hard.
Chu Mufeng quickly checked in the Banyue Bay Hotel.
Fukuyama Hana Tsuna hurriedly left.
In the room.
"Brother Mu Feng, why do you like that painting museum? Do we really want to buy it?"
Xue Feng couldn't help asking at this time.
"purchase!"
Chu Mufeng sat on the chair and said slowly: "It is indeed not my plan to buy a painting library, but since I encounter it, I'll buy it by the way."
"There is only one reason I will buy that painting gallery, that is, it's dark under the light!"
"It's dark under the light?" Xue Feng's eyes lit up.
"That's right, you've already thought of it? Since this place is closest to the headquarters of the Special High School Course, the most dangerous place is the safest. People in the Special High School Course will never think that I will live under their noses."
"According to the information currently available, Jiang Guochu was detained at the headquarters of the Special High School Course, so it is the best choice for us to observe nearby."
Speaking of this, Chu Mufeng raised the corners of his lips.
"What's more, New Beijing will always be like this in the future. It's good to have a shop here as a base for spending a little money."
In Chu Mufeng's opinion, this 800 yen is really nothing, and you can get reimbursed by public funds when you go back.
As for whether this painting museum really belongs to Fukuyama Hanatsu, you will know if you go to the relevant institutions tomorrow.
"Okay, run all the way, take a shower first!"
"Um!"
Chapter completed!
