20 years of the Republic of China

Chapter 277 Hidden dangers

When Jiang Lianheng came to the door of the house, Wang Zhengnan was smiling and handing out cigarettes to a group of Japs, taking the opportunity to find out the purpose of their visit.

Li Zhengxi crossed his arms, led several nursing staff, leaned against the dark iron door frame, and watched coldly.

As Bei Feng said, this group of Japanese was not the "black hats" of the Affiliated Police Department, but a garrison responsible for protecting the South Manchuria Railway.

Of course, it is said to be a defensive team, but it is actually the same as a regular game.

They were dressed in khaki military uniforms, with a piece of red silk tied to their big hats, and a handful of three-eight hats on their shoulders. They all had sinister expressions on their faces and unpredictable moods and moods.

Wang Zhengnan asked with a smile: "Taijun, why is there such a big battle? Why? We are all honest people who abide by the law!"

The so-called "Taijun" is the transliteration of "General (Taixiao Gun)" in Oriental dialect.

Because there were so many Japanese troops stationed in Feng Province, this saying, like "golden tickets" and other words, had been spread outside the customs for a long time.

The soldiers in the garrison were particularly grateful for the flattery, but they only laughed twice and did not explain their purpose.

Jiang Lianheng strode to the door, opened his mouth and asked, "Who is looking for me?"

The accompanying translator was wearing a short coat and seemed to be very knowledgeable. He immediately stepped forward to salute and said with a smile: "Boss Jiang, the Japanese people want to ask you something."

"Oh, then ask."

"Haha, Boss Jiang, this is not the place to talk. Please come to us."

Wang Zhengnan continued: "Huh? You explain the matter clearly first, why do you want to take people away without knowing it? This is not a annex."

The soldiers in the garrison called the translator. After asking a few questions, they showed displeasure. They took off the rifles from their shoulders, held them in their hands, and yelled.

Wang Zhengnan swallowed and muttered in a low voice with some flinch: "Hey, why are you being unreasonable!"

Jiang Lianheng protected Nanfeng behind him: "It's okay to go with you, but there has to be an explanation, right?"

"Boss Jiang, Taijun asked you to go over, that's what he said!" The translator smiled disdainfully, but said, "What's wrong, Boss Jiang, who is always willing to kill his family and wipe out his family, are you scared? Ouch! Don't be afraid, we won't arrest you. You! If I really want to arrest you, why should I wait for you at the door for a long time? Just call a few 'black hats'."

After saying that, he turned sideways, raised his hand, and said, "Boss Jiang, please?"

"Brother Dao, I'll go with you." Li Zhengxi immediately took steps and walked forward.

Unexpectedly, the translator stopped him and reiterated: "The Japanese people hired Boss Jiang, you are not qualified!"

Hearing this, everyone looked at each other in shock.

Now that the matter has come to this point, we can't fight with the Japanese in the street. Although it is fun for a while, the final result can only be disaster for the whole family.

Jiang Lianheng had no other choice. Instead of pinching his nose and leaving in fear, he might as well face it calmly to avoid being laughed at.

"You guys, let the family keep an eye on your sister-in-law. I'll be back as soon as I go."

After Brother Dao left, Xifeng immediately ordered a few brothers in the yard and planned to accompany him as an escort.

At this moment, Zhao Zhengbei ran out of the house again.

"Third brother, my sister-in-law asked you to take a few people over and follow Brother Dao."

"I know, I'm about to go there!" Li Zhengxi agreed and immediately walked out of the courtyard with three or five people.

Immediately afterwards, Zhao Zhengbei went to tell Nanfeng and said: "Second brother, my sister-in-law asked you to go to Huifangli and Heshengfang to recruit a few people, and call Lao Han along the way to make Lao Zhong smart. Be careful, Brother Dong is collecting pig hair in the south of the city, it will take a while before he comes back."

"Xiao Bei, you better go." Wang Zhengnan looked down at his big belly, "I'm afraid I'll miss something."

"Okay, then you take someone home to watch over my sister-in-law."

…………

Half an hour later, Han Xinyuan and Bei Feng rushed back to the Jiang family mansion from Xiaoxiguan with a dozen temporary disciples.

As soon as he entered the living room downstairs, Han Xinyuan's heart immediately reached his throat.

Hu Xiaoyan was seen sitting upright in a wheelchair, her chin slightly retracted, her eyes fixed on the entrance hall connecting the living room and the door, her face extremely ugly.

Behind him, Wang Zhengnan led several younger brothers and stood with their hands behind their backs.

Han Xinyuan is slightly older than the young couple. Although he usually calls each other "sister-in-law", because of his considerable contribution and being Xu Ruqing's confidant, Hu Xiaoyan has always been polite to him and speaks politely to him. Never take a different tone.

Today the situation is completely different.

Once Hu Xiaoyan assumes the role of the head sister-in-law, she will give people a breathtaking pressure.

"Sister-in-law... Brother Dao, are you okay?" Han Xinyuan lowered his hands and asked softly.

Hu Xiaoyan asked coldly: "Have you finished the errand that was given to you before?"

Everyone knew that the so-called errand was referring to the recent interception of Master Qiao's cargo in Yingkou.

The Jiang family secretly cut off the transportation of medicinal materials from Yingkou to Fengtian by bribing train drivers, station freight managers, porters, etc. along the way and at the station.

The South-Manchuria Railway is operated by the Japanese. Now Jiang Lianheng is called for questioning, and the lack of security is related to this matter.

Therefore, this attack is also reasonable.

"It's very, very clean."

After all, they just stole the Qiao family's freight and didn't have much impact. Those who take bribes get benefits, and there is no reason why they should not do it themselves.

Shopkeepers Ma and Xie were beaten by Dongfeng, and they absolutely did not dare to report it to the officials and make the matter bigger.

Han Xinyuan was very sure about this at first, but when his sister-in-law questioned him face to face, he felt unsure.

"Okay, then you can sit down." Hu Xiaoyan raised her hand and pointed to the sofa, "You said you could handle it cleanly. If Lian Heng is detained by the Japanese because of this matter, you can accept the punishment yourself."

As soon as Han Xinyuan's butt landed on the sofa, he immediately stood up again.

He wanted to argue, but in the end he couldn't speak.

After all, if something goes wrong in the link where you are, you deserve to be punished.

"south wind."

"Hey, sister-in-law."

Hu Xiaoyan then ordered: "Go and ask the kitchen to cook two more dishes. Brother Han will also eat with us tonight."

……

……

On the other side, Li Zhengxi took several brothers and followed the Japanese to the Southern Railway Annex in the west of the city.

The translator did not lie. Jiang Lianheng was not taken to the police station's interrogation room or prison, but to a Japanese-style Western-style building with a dark red brick and stone structure not far from the east square of the train station. In the wind building.

There is a row of Japanese characters on it - Nantetsu Fengtian Local Office - equivalent to a branch of Nantetsu Co., Ltd.

Walking up the steps of the club building, the soldiers from the garrison stopped at the door, and the translator led Jiang Lianheng into the building.

To say that they were treated with extra courtesy along the way would be a bit too mean-spirited, but they did not receive any bossy orders.

The translator had high cheekbones and light steps. He walked with his little head fluttering. When he entered the club, he was as excited as a pug coming home. He endlessly explained the decoration around him. How precious and rare it is, the look on its face is self-satisfied.

He didn't stop until he reached the door of an office in the Investigation Department, tapped his fingers lightly, and after hearing the response from the room, he opened the door cautiously with a smile on his face.

"Boss Jiang, please come in!"

Jiang Lianheng glanced at him up and down, lifted up the front of his gown, and walked into the bright red carpeted office.

As soon as you enter the room, you can see a huge portrait hanging on the wall in front of you, but because it is blocked by a curtain, you can't see the figure on it.

On the left wall, there are two windows; on the right wall, there is a framed handwriting.

The upright and solemn regular script characters - Cultivate when you are still, and reflect when you are active.

In the center of the room was a long mahogany table. There was a short kid with a mustache. Hearing the sound of the door opening, he immediately stood up and extended his hand in greeting with a smile.

"Mr. Jiang, nice to meet you!"

He spoke Chinese so well that he could often quote scriptures, including poems, songs, and various schools of thought.

It is ironic to say that this person knows China far better than most Chinese.

Jiang Lianheng hesitated for a moment, but finally reached out his hand and asked straight to the point: "What do you want from me?"

"There's no rush. Please sit down, Mr. Jiang, and we'll talk slowly."

The devil raised his hand and pointed to the seat opposite the long mahogany table.

Jiang Lianheng reluctantly sat down and suddenly caught a glimpse of a group photo placed sideways on his desk.

In the picture, the Japs in front of him were standing side by side with a middle-aged man wearing a melon-skin hat. He was full of ambition and looked extremely relaxed.

"What are you asking? You'd better hurry up. My wife is still waiting for me to come home for dinner!"

The devil was stunned for a moment, then said with a smile: "Mr. Jiang is a man who does great things, but he actually cares about the love of his children so much?"

"Don't flatter me. I'm not a person who does big things. If you have anything to do, just tell me."

"Well, let me introduce myself first. My humble name, Ryuji Miyata, is the director of the Investigation Department of Nantetsu Co., Ltd."

When Jiang Lianheng heard this, his eyebrows jumped. He felt like he had heard this name somewhere before.

Miyata Ryu clasped his twenty fingers together, clenched them into empty fists, put them on the table, and said with a smile: "I know that Mr. Jiang is very influential in Fengtian business circles and is very well-informed. The main reason for bothering you to come here this time is that I hope You can cooperate with us in investigating a case."

"You should contact the patrol police about this matter!" Jiang Lianheng said, "How about I recommend someone to you? Captain Zhao, the detective who has repeatedly solved strange cases, might be able to help you."

"Haha, Mr. Jiang, I have been working here for many years, and my father is also a Sinologist. I think we both know very well that in your country, the so-called rules will never work. Everything you can see on the table is the result of what has been discussed under the table. Sometimes, you are more efficient than the patrol officers."

"so what?"

Miyata Ryuji unhurriedly pulled out a photo from the drawer and held it up in front of Jiang Lianheng.

"Mr. Jiang, this person's name is Miura Kumasuke. Have you seen him?"
