After daybreak, on the road leading to Hangzhou, a motorcycle was speeding towards the south at an extremely fast speed.

The trees on both sides were constantly retreating, but the morning mist was like smoke, constantly falling in the air.

From time to time, a patch of white appears on the ground, which is the white of frost.

When the motorcycle passed over it, it made a squeaking sound.

It was just dawn when Zhang Tianhao left Shanghai and went quite far away, at least forty or fifty kilometers.

But his heart was still full of helplessness. After all, he went to the military camp early in the morning, but found that the entire camp was guarded very strictly.

It can even be said that there were watchtowers in the four corners of the entire military camp, and there were three Japanese soldiers on each tower, constantly scanning the surroundings with flashlights.

There were some trees outside the military camp, but now they have all been cut down, and almost nothing can be seen within 300 meters.

Whether it is patrolling or the number of people on duty at night, it is at least twice as strict as before, leaving Zhang Tianhao no chance at all.

For this reason, Zhang Tianhao had to leave Shanghai and prepare to catch up with the ship and exchange back No. 1.

However, as he was on the road, two groups of Japanese sentries on the road became the targets of his anger, and twenty Japanese soldiers had already become victims of his sword.

He also changed into a Japanese second lieutenant's uniform and was driving a motorcycle, heading south.

……

In the office of Qi Teng of the Military Police in Shanghai, Qi Teng sat behind his desk, looking at Yoko standing opposite him with a gloomy expression.

Ever since Keiko reported yesterday that Jiichiro Keihei's factory had given him a direct holiday, his expression has never been better.

After all, it was he who gave the order, and this was Jingping Jiichiro's resistance to him, and it was a lack of respect for him.

"Yoko, did you check and verify yesterday that all the workers were given the day off?"

"Yes, all the workers are on holiday!"

"What about those women he bought? Are they on holiday too? It seems like they don't have any holiday to take?"

"I asked the female workers there. Those women had their day off in the morning, and like us, each received 100 yuan. As for food and other things, it seems they also had them. I heard that they rented a few houses in the concession and sent all these people there."

"They ran to the concession? Have you found out where they are?"

"No, I haven't arranged anyone to check it yet. I believe that as long as we check, we can find it soon." Yoko explained confidently.

"This bastard hid the woman in the concession and raised her there instead of sending her to the barracks to comfort the soldiers of the empire. He is so bold."

"Uncle, I have something to say, but I don't know if I should say it or not."

"Oh, Yoko, are you still so polite to me? Isn't our relationship clear?"

When Qi Teng heard this, he looked at Yoko with some confusion and asked in a strange way.

"Uncle, I said, please don't be angry if I offend you, okay?"

Yoko said cautiously, and glanced at Qi Teng secretly. "Go ahead!"

"Uncle, I know you suspect Jing Ping, but what you did this time was really inappropriate. After all, he is your nephew, and he is in charge of seven factories and is working for the military police. What you did is directly blocked him, and he may not even want to open a factory in the future."

"After all, this is a slap in his face. Although he shouldn't be angry about you slapping him in the face, he has lost all face in the imperial circle of Shanghai. He may have second thoughts or other ideas in the future and may even become an opponent of us. Even if he doesn't become an opponent, he will no longer support us!"

"You know, he has talent, especially in economics. What you're doing is equivalent to cutting off a major source of income for our gendarmerie. I'm worried that the consequences will be serious, really!"

"In addition, his factory originally planned to recruit more than 3300 workers from all over Shanghai. At least it could stabilize the public security in Shanghai. Now that you are doing this, not only are more than 3300 workers without jobs, but nearly a thousand female workers have also lost their livelihoods. This is a big problem!"

Yoko sighed helplessly and said with a worried look on her face.

"Also, have you noticed that the money we earn every month is circulated through the Pingyi Company? I estimate that the Pingyi Company may not participate in our original military police business now, which will result in another loss of income, and the supplies provided by the Pingyi Company to us may also be cut off from now on."

"The most important thing is that they may completely surrender to the navy. Then, we will be in trouble again!"

"So, instead of dealing with Jingping Jiichiro or investigating the whereabouts of his female workers, you should deal with the troublesome problems that will come next, really."

Saito Koji didn't have any reaction at first, but the more he listened, the worse his expression became. Especially when he heard Yoko's analysis more and more, his expression turned from blue to white, and finally to black as hell.

When he did this at the beginning, he never thought of asking Keihei Jiichiro to send some women to the military camp to comfort the new soldiers in the camp.

But he didn't expect the consequences to be so serious, even he didn't expect it.

"Have you called Heiichi Company to inquire?"

"I have asked. Manager Sakai Issei of Heiichi Company told me that this was ordered by Jingping Jun. After all, they have never made any money doing business with our military police. Sometimes they even lose money, so they don't do it now."

"Loss of money?"

"Yes, Sakai Issei told me that we buy goods at the purchase price, and even the freight is not included. If they buy goods from us and sell them to others, they only make a profit from the freight. When you add it up, it's like making no money, but it's not a loss either."

"If you add up the things I did on the road, I would have lost money. Even though it wasn't much each time, it was still a loss."

"In addition, Sakai Issei hopes that our military police will pay them back. After all, they are having problems with their working capital because we have taken up most of their liquidity."

"Oh, there's one more thing. I don't know how Jing Ping-jun knew that I've been investigating him. He wants me to move out of my current home and rent a place to live. After all, this is his house. When we divorced, he originally wanted me to stay here temporarily. Now it seems that I can't live here anymore. I will rent a house in a couple of days."

"Baka, is Jing Ping really rebelling? He is capable of doing such a thing. Where does this put our country and our military police?"

When Qi Teng heard this, he was immediately furious. After all, he never thought that he had notified Sakai Issei to ask for money from their gendarmerie, and not only asked for money, but also wanted to take back the place where Yoko and the others lived.

This is a lack of respect for him, or even for Colonel Shimada, and is equivalent to a slap in the face.

"Asshole, there's no money. Our gendarmerie is still short of money. Besides, tell him to give up on this idea. If you continue to live there, I don't think he dares to drive you away! Do you really think that my position as a colonel is for nothing?"

"Also, if he wasn't from the Empire, he would have died eight hundred times already!"

"Baga, if I hadn't protected him all the time, he wouldn't have grown up this big, and even..."

"Colonel, this is a letter that Jingping-kun left at home last night. He asked me to pass it on to you!" Thinking of this, Yoko picked up the letter and handed it over. (End of this chapter)
