Chapter 47 Xiaoxiang Garden

Near noon.

Du Juan said: "Tomorrow night at seven o'clock, Citibank will hold a reception to celebrate their [-]th anniversary. They invited me. Come with me."

Qi Yue hesitated: "Can I not go?"

Du Juan said, "I can't. Come and pick me up at six o'clock tomorrow night."

Qi Yue immediately said: "Okay."

Du Juan said, "Dress well."

Qi Yue thought for a while: "Is that suit okay?"

"Ah."

Du Juan glanced at him: "Are you busy tomorrow night?"

Qi Yue said: "It's nothing at all. Sun Aidi, an employee of the Household Registration Division, celebrated her birthday and invited a few colleagues to her home for a small gathering. She told me yesterday..."

"Is Sun Aidi male or female?"

"female."

"Is she a pretty girl?"

"It's not pretty, but it's not ugly..."

"You are from the Secret Service Division, and she is from the Household Registration Division. How did you know each other?"

Du Juan asked with a smile.

Then he added another sentence: "It's just chatting, you don't have to answer."

Qi Yue said: "In the criminal department, I often went to the household registration department to obtain the suspect's information. After coming and going, I got to know her."

Du Juan said: "Don't get me wrong, I didn't intend to disturb your good business..."

Qi Yue said: "Maybe you misunderstood..."

Du Juan continued: "It doesn't matter who misunderstood. This is what the station master said. Mrs. Rong will also attend the reception tomorrow night. You have a chance to get to know her."

Qi Yue asked: "Which Mrs. Rong?"

Du Juan said: "An Guojun Deputy Commander Rong Feng's newly married third concubine, Rong Feng dotes on her very much, every time he goes back to the city to rest, he must live with her."

Qi Yue said, "What do I need to do?"

Du Juan smiled slightly: "That third aunt is not the master who keeps her own life. When she was singing, she eloped with the little boy once. Maybe you, the boy, can catch her eyes..."

"Du Juan, let's get down to business."

Qi Yue was a little embarrassed.

Du Juan put away the smile on his face: "This is the business. The station master wants you to find a chance to try and see if you can find out about the transfer of Anguo Army from the mouth of the third aunt——Rong Feng Wherever you go, An Guojun will naturally be there!"

Qi Yue thought for a while: "What if it doesn't work?"

Du Juan said: "It's just a try, and the station master didn't hold out much hope..."

Qiu Weihan's idea is very simple. He intends to reorganize the remnants of the Loyalty and National Salvation Army and ambush this inexperienced army. But at the same time, he also understands that in the situation of disparity between the enemy and the enemy, only by knowing oneself and the enemy can there be a chance of victory.

The Anguo Army can be called notorious. This is an army mainly formed by Manchurians, and the famous female spy Kawashima Tojin is the commander-in-chief.

The Kwantung Army swept around, and the Anguo Army followed behind, pretending to be a tiger, burning, killing, looting, and doing everything.

Kawashima Dongzhen was originally a descendant of the Manchu Qing royal family. He was adopted by a Japanese ronin since he was a child. After he grew up, he has always used a Japanese name for foreign people.

She had participated in the Huanggutun Incident, assisted Empress Wanrong in fleeing Tianjin Wei, and personally planned the January [-]th Incident. She can be seen in almost all major incidents.

Tada Hayao, the commander of the North China Front Army, attached great importance to this female spy who had repeatedly made outstanding achievements. He not only awarded her the rank of Major Commander in the Army, but also specially allocated funds to form this unit - the Anguo Army.

The main reason for attaching so much importance to Kawashima Dongzhen is to win over people's hearts. With this Manchukuo army, the newspapers can play up false news such as the Anguo army's victory in suppressing bandits.

Not to mention the combat effectiveness, the reputation must be obtained, so as to boost the morale of the Puppet Manchukuo army.

Tada Hayao knew that Kawashima Tojin might be an excellent spy, but he was absolutely incapable of becoming a military officer of an army.

Therefore, Kawashima Dongzhen is just a name.

The title of Commander-in-Chief of the Anguo Army can make her shine in various public occasions.

Tada Hayao's purpose is to create a political star for Manchukuo!
The Anguo Army recruited nearly 3000 people, equivalent to the size of an infantry regiment in the Japanese army system, and the weapons and equipment were exactly the same as those of the Japanese army.They have been stationed in the area around Binjiang for a long time, and their main task is to "eliminate" the anti-Manchu and anti-Japanese armed forces in Binjiang.

Rong Feng served as the deputy commander of this army.

He is also the de facto military chief.

……

Xiaoxiang Garden is the name of a restaurant.

It's not far from Huaihua Lane.

The store is not big, probably because of the new opening, there are really not many customers.

Even if it is a meal, the restaurant seems a little deserted.

Qi Yue and Du Juan found seats and sat down.

"What do you two want to eat?"

The boss came over to say hello in person.

He speaks with a thick Hunan accent.

Du Juan is also from Hunan, so he specially added the local accent: "Can you make fish head with chopped pepper?"

The boss said: "Of course it can be done. How can a Hunan restaurant not make fish head with chopped peppers?"

Du Juan said, "Then have a fish head with chopped peppers and a fried pork with peppers."

The boss asked: "Dare to ask Miss, where are you from in Hunan?"

Du Juan said, "I'm from Xiangtan, what about you?"

The boss said, "I belong to Ningxiang."

Du Juan snorted: "Ningxiang is far away from Xiangtan...what's the boss's name?"

The boss said, "My surname is Wang."

Du Juan asked: "Boss Wang, I see that your store is newly opened. How long have you been in Binjiang?"

Boss Wang said: "He came here at the beginning of the year..."

The business of the restaurant was slow, so Boss Wang chatted a little more.

The Japanese army attacked Changsha City, and the surrounding area became a battlefield. One night, a howitzer deviated from the direction, penetrated the roof, and hit the floor of Boss Wang’s bedroom. Fortunately, it was a stink bomb and did not explode.

The whole family was already asleep at the time, when the shells suddenly fell from the sky, and they almost went crazy with fright. When they heard the sound of guns and shells again, they dared not even sleep.

After much deliberation, Boss Wang decided to move away from the dangerous place, but he felt that it was not safe to live anywhere, so he decided to do it once and for all, and moved his family to the Northeast, leaving his hometown just to stay away from the war.

Soon, a fish head with chopped pepper was served on the table.

The fish head is covered with a thick layer of minced red pepper, which brings out the spicy taste.

Du Juan praised: "Just look at the ingredients, this is the authentic chopped pepper fish head!"

Qi Yue frowned and said, "Can this be eaten?"

Du Juan said: "There is very little chopped pepper, so it shouldn't be very spicy."

Qi Yue tried to taste it, but it was so spicy that he couldn't speak for a long time.

Du Juan laughed and said, "If you can't eat spicy food, then eat more meat."

Qi Yue ate another piece of meat, and coughed non-stop with the same spicy smell, and couldn't help muttering to himself: "I know why the restaurant's business is not good..."

The door curtain was lifted, and a little girl came in.

She is only sixteen or seventeen years old, with a pretty face, big eyes, two braids, and a court fan in her hand.

She looked around, and then said to the door in a pleasant Wu Nong soft language: "Miss, there are few people here, come in."
