20 years of the Republic of China

Chapter 321 The undercurrent is surging

Jiang Lianheng took Xiaohua as his concubine at the beginning of July, the day chosen by Hu Xiaoyan.

Everything was kept simple, and even a series of whips were not used.

That morning, two red cloths were tied on the doorknob of the Jiang family mansion, and a sumptuous banquet was set up in the room.

Xiaohua was wearing a light pink dress. Surrounded by Si Fengkou, she walked through the yard from the side door and came to the corner of the living room.

Jiang Lianheng and Hu Xiaoyan were sitting on the left and right sides of the tea table, and Xiaohua knelt down to serve tea to them.

After the ceremony, when you raise your head again, you will have the status.

Xiao Hua has nothing to choose from. No matter how low her status is, she is still a hundred times better than the girl. Moreover, she is the one Hu Xiaoyan kisses, so she will not be bullied at home.

Except for the fact that she had an extra job every now and then, her life in the Jiang family seemed to be no different from before.

There was no guest in the house, not even Han Xinyuan and Zhong Yushan came.

It was good, they were all members of the family, and Xiaohua was no longer nervous. After going upstairs to kneel down to her aunt Xu Ruqing, everyone started to have a banquet.

While eating, Si Fengkou argued about how to call Xiaohua in the future, whether it was "second wife", "second grandma" or "sister-in-law".

After much deliberation, I finally decided that calling her "Sister Hua" would go smoothly.

All in all, we can no longer fight and bicker as we did before.

Xiaohua was feeling unwell and stopped eating her chopsticks early before taking a few bites of the food.

When Xu Ruqing chats now, her head often fails to catch up. She just asks a few questions about the business in Huifangli, and then stands up a little lonely, leaves the table and goes back to the house.

When Hu Xiaoyan saw her aunt walking away, she lowered her voice and asked Jiang Lianheng, "The Japanese haven't been looking for you again recently?"

"No."

"Why aren't we looking for you?"

Jiang Lianheng drank a glass of wine and asked, "What do you mean? Why do you still want them to find me?"

"That's not true." Hu Xiaoyan said worriedly, "But they were always looking for us before, and suddenly they stopped looking for us... Could it be that they offended them somewhere?"

Wang Zhengnan quickly stopped talking, wiped his hands and said, "Could it be that we sold guns to Tutai Village and let them know about it?"

"Bullshit!" Jiang Lianheng said, "How can a kid suffer the consequences of being dumb? If Ryuuji Miyata knew that I was causing trouble inside, could he still keep his composure? He would have come here to find trouble!"

Zhang Zhengdong took over the conversation and said, "Brother Dao, sister-in-law, I saw that translator Tan wandering around here this morning!"

"Is he alone?" Hu Xiaoyan asked warily.

Zhang Zhengdong nodded.

Seeing this, Li Zhengxi suggested, "Sister-in-law, how about I ask those little fans to keep an eye on Translator Tan?"

Hu Xiaoyan agreed: "It's okay to keep an eye on him for a few days to see what his plans are."

Jiang Lianheng groaned, and then said: "The most important thing is, as long as the place where Miura Kuma is buried is not leaked, even if Miyata Ryuji comes to me again, I can handle it."

Zhao Zhengbei raised his neck, took a sip of wine, and said, "If it doesn't work, let's bury him too!"

Jiang Lianheng patted Bei Feng on the shoulder and teased: "If one day I no longer plan to hang out in Fengtian, I will give you a light machine gun, and you can go to the Nantie Office and kill them all."

"That's good! Brother Dao, as long as you speak, I will take care of this for you!"

Wang Zhengnan quickly stopped him, "Come on, come on, Xiaobei, eat vegetables, eat vegetables!"

"Eh? Second brother, what do you mean by this?" Zhao Zhengbei straightened his back and said, "I am not talking drunkenly, I really dare you! Brother Dao, sister-in-law, do you two believe it? I really dare you!"

"Xinxinxin, hurry up and eat!" everyone advised.

Seeing Hu Xiaoyan's worried look, Jiang Lianheng couldn't help but said with relief: "Daughter-in-law, you don't have to worry so much. The Japs are not easy to mess with, but they are not so awesome that they can do whatever they want. We are not subordinates." land."

As he spoke, he winked at Si Fengkou frequently.

Everyone understood and hurriedly comforted her by saying, "Sister-in-law, don't worry, your health is important, please rest!"

Hu Xiaoyan understood everyone's good intentions and smiled, but still murmured to herself: "Maybe it's been too smooth lately. I always feel a little nervous."

Jiang Lianheng pointed at his wife and asked with a smile: "What is your sister-in-law's name?"

Everyone laughed in unison and replied: "Worry about your life!"

……

……

It was past noon, and the sun was scorching like fire.

In the South Railway Annex, Translator Tan was wearing a vest and short coat, holding a white dome hat in his right hand, fanning desperately on his chest, grinning in the heat, and oil-soaked sweat dripping down his neck.

He walked briskly along Nanisu-dori Street, crossing the bicycles and sparing a few Japanese women who were twitching their hips. After walking for more than half an hour, he finally arrived at the Nantetsu Fengtian local office.

The two guards at the door recognized him, said nothing, and turned aside to let him pass.

Translator Tan nodded and bowed "Aligado" while buttoning up his sweat-soaked short coat.

He stretched out his clothes, wiped his hair, looked dignified, and cheered up. After a busy meal, he walked into the building with satisfaction.

There was a cold wind in the corridor, and the soaked clothes stuck to my body. It was cold, but my heart was warm.

He came to the Investigation Department with ease and found Ryuji Miyata's office.

The door was open for ventilation, and Translator Tan was about to go in, but suddenly he shrank back as if he was electrocuted. Miyata Ryuji was talking on the phone. He stood by the mahogany table and glanced at the door.

Translator Tan was well-trained, and he immediately bowed down, raised his hand, and said hello silently with a smile.

Miyata Ryuji turned around and looked out the window as if nothing was happening. He was still chattering to the other end of the phone in Japanese.

Sometimes he pondered, sometimes frowned, sometimes nodded, sometimes responded, and what he was talking about seemed very important.

Translator Tan waited for nearly fifteen minutes before Miyata Ryuji hung up the phone, sat back on his chair, and waved to the door.

Translator Tan walked into the room excitedly and said, "Mr. Miyata, Jiang Lianheng is back."

"I see."

"Sir, I have found a few more clues recently."

Translator Tan walked around to Miyata Ryuji and whispered: "I asked a few people who used to have fun in Huifang. They heard from the girls there that a group of idiots went to their place last year. Jiang Lian Heng seems to know their leader."

"Where are those idiots now?"

"Uh... well... I don't know... The girls said that those guys were there only once and never came again. Didn't Mr. Miura get entangled with a few guys before he disappeared? !”

"Yes."

"In my opinion, Jiang Lianheng must have teamed up with those idiots to harm Mr. Miura!"

"What you said makes sense." Miyata Ryuuji said dullly.

Upon hearing the praise, Translator Tan immediately worked harder.

"Mr. Miyata, I also found out that not only Mr. Miura is missing, but also Dong Shaode, the former translator of the Bai family, is also missing. Although the interval is a bit long, it is all related to Jiang Lianheng. I now suspect that they may They have all been killed. In addition, I also found Jiang Lianheng’s daughter-in-law——"

"Well done!" Miyata Ryuji suddenly interrupted, "But where is the evidence?"

"Evidence? This—"

Translator Tan was a little stunned.

The Japanese are investigating a case and want to arrest Chinese people. When did they start to present evidence?

Although Jiang Lianheng was somewhat famous among the Fengtian business gentry, with the current power of the Jiang family, he would not be treated like this.

It was inconvenient for the Japanese to openly break into the city to arrest people, so they could just sit back and wait.

Unless Jiang Lianheng never takes the Southern Railway for the rest of his life, he can be detained as soon as he enters the annex.

Of course, the Jiang family is online, and forced arrest may cause conflicts in the neighborhood, which is inevitable.

Miyata Ryuuji pondered for a moment and then said: "From now on, you can continue to investigate Miura-kun's case secretly, but please don't do it in my name anymore."

Translator Tan was slightly startled, "Mr. Miyata, what are you..."

Miyata Ryuuji suddenly stood up and walked to the window with his hands behind his back.

"The primary responsibility of the Investigation Department is not to investigate cases, but to collect intelligence here, including military, political, economic, geographical, cultural, customs, public opinion, etc."

Translator Tan became more and more confused, "So, what do you mean?"

"If Jiang Lianheng can play a greater role, then Miura-kun's matter can be put aside for the time being."

Hearing this, Translator Tan couldn't help but frown, "A bigger role..."

He really couldn't imagine how much role a gangster leader who ran a gambling stall, a prostitution house, and ran an insurance business on the Southern Railway, who had neither a prominent social reputation nor a powerful figure in the government, could play.

In front of Miyata Ryuji, he never dared to question anything.

However, one thing he knew very well, if he continued to harass the Jiang family without the support of the Japs, it would be tantamount to seeking death.

"Mr. Miyata, what if there is really conclusive evidence that Jiang Lianheng harmed Mr. Miura?" Translator Tan asked.

Miyata Ryuuji snorted coldly and said with a smile: "Then it depends on his choice."

Tan Translator seemed to understand but not quite.

Miyata Ryuuji turned around and continued: "Listen carefully, in a few days, help me go to Fengtian City to tell Jiang Lianheng that from now on, no matter what request he has, as long as it is not too excessive, I will do it." I will try my best to satisfy him. If there are any problems on the railway, he can come to me at any time."

The two attitudes before and after are completely different.

Translator Tan doesn't know the origin of this change, but he is sure of one thing - anyone who can make the Japanese say such things must be the target of their efforts to win over.

"I understand, Mr. Miyata!"

Miyata Ryuji nodded: "If there is nothing else, let's stop here today!"

Translator Tan responded and immediately walked around the mahogany desk.

His figure flashed past, revealing a photo in the corner of the desktop——

In the blurry picture, it can be seen that the background is a garden, and Miyata Ryuji is standing side by side with a middle-aged man wearing a melon cap.

The two of them were very proud, their expressions were relaxed, the corners of their mouths were slightly raised, and their eyes were dark...
