Over a meal of wine, Yin Rugeng flattered him to the best of his ability and made many ugly appearances.
Unfortunately, it seems that the Japanese don't give him any face.
Yin Rugeng didn't care, and tried his best to please Yue. With such a posture, even if the Japanese slapped him hard and loud, he would still keep a smile on his face.
Traitor.
Meng Shaoyuan's new destination was the Goodwill Apartment.
In the entire Tong County, conditions here are undoubtedly the best.
Just poor Pan Baolai and Song Deng.
They are Chinese.
Chinese people don’t deserve to live in places with such good conditions and facilities.
They still live in a small hotel.
As soon as he returned to the room, Meng Shaoyuan poured himself a cup of tea and took a few sips. Sit down, light a cigarette, and smoke slowly.
He is waiting for someone.
This person will definitely come.
Evening, nine o'clock sharp.
The bell in the house rang.
Meng Shaoyuan smiled, stood up and opened the door.
Yin Rugeng!
"Mr. Sakuragi, I'm so sorry to bother you so late."
Meng Shaoyuan was still surprised that his Japanese was so fluent. It is said that Yin Rugeng learned Japanese in a short time in Japan, and his pronunciation and enunciation were basically the same as those of a real Japanese.
In addition, he also mastered Japanese culture and history in a very short period of time. No matter from any angle, he is a smart person.
What a pity, he became a traitor.
In fact, if you think about it carefully, which of those famous traitors is not a smart person?
Isn't that Wang Jingwei, who "makes a quick achievement with a sword, worthy of his youth", not an extremely smart person?
He even used to be a hero.
It's just that they chose the wrong path in life.
They chose a dead end!
"Mr. Yin, I haven't slept yet." Meng Shaoyuan invited him in: "Please sit down. Mr. Yin, it's so late and you came to see me. What's the matter?"
Yin Rugeng put a box in his hand in front of Meng Shaoyuan: "Mr. Yingmu came to Tongxian for the first time. It is Tongxian's honor. This little gadget is a meeting gift for Mr. Yingmu. It can also be regarded as a gift between Yin and Tongxian." Just a little thought from the common people."
Meng Shaoyuan opened the box.
What was placed inside was an antique, dark green bowl.
Meng Shaoyuan looked at it and said, "Thank you very much, Mr. Yin. This bowl looks a bit old, right?"
A trace of embarrassment flashed across Yin Rugeng's face: "Mr. Sakuragi, this is not a bowl."
"Not a bowl?"
Meng Shaoyuan was very curious. It looked like it was just a bowl for eating?
"This is called a nail wash." Yin Rugeng explained: "It is a kind of stationery in ancient times. It is not among the four treasures of the study room, but it is also an indispensable item on the desk of the literati. The drum nail wash is a kind of brush wash, and its function is as the name suggests. For washing brushes.”
Lu was timid.
Meng Shaoyuan had very little knowledge about these cultural relics.
Why do you think it has to be made like a bowl for washing brushes?
"Although the nail washer is ordinary, this nail washer still has some origins." Yin Rugeng said with great interest: "It is a Jun porcelain work from the Song Dynasty."
Junci?
Although Meng Shaoyuan knew little about cultural relics and antiques, he had at least heard of Junci.
What a good thing.
He picked it up and observed it repeatedly for a long time, and then carefully put it down: "Chinese culture is vast and profound, and there are many things I don't understand. Mr. Lao Yin took the trouble. As the Chinese say, courtesy should be given to others. , you must ask for something, if Mr. Yin needs my help with anything, please ask."
"No, no." Yin Rugeng said hurriedly: "This represents my little care."
"No!" Meng Shaoyuan smiled and shook his finger: "I can see that although Mr. Yin is the chairman of the Jidong Autonomous Government, your ambition is obviously not just here. Miss Yoshiko Kawashima is in Tong County, I think Mr. Yin must know, so do you know why Miss Kawashima is here?"
Yin Rugeng shook his head blankly.
"She wanted to restore the poor Qing Empire." Meng Shaoyuan said slowly: "Their emperor is in Manchuria, but they always want to return to Peiping. Mr. Yin, before coming to China, my father took me I met with His Excellency Matsudaira. His Excellency told me that the Empire will definitely achieve a glorious victory in the war in China.
War is a purpose, but after the war is over, we still have to govern this country. China has a large land and a large population. If the empire directly incorporates China into its territory, it will cause fierce resistance from the Chinese people. Therefore, it is the wisest choice for the Chinese people to manage the Chinese people. A China that is friendly to the Japanese Empire government. "
Yin Rugeng firmly believed in these words.
Isn’t this what the Japanese do in China? The Sakuragi family and the Matsudaira family have a good relationship, so it is not unusual to know these inside stories in advance.
Moreover, Sakuragi Hanamichi came to China this time under the banner of economic inspection, but maybe he had other purposes?
He suddenly thought of something, and his heart skipped a beat.
"Miss Kawashima is also a well-informed person." Meng Shaoyuan seemed to be casual: "This woman who always fantasizes about restoring the glory of the Qing Empire came to Tong County in advance to wait for me."
Although there are only two sentences, it provides a lot of information to Yin Rugeng, a smart man.
Although Yoshiko Kawashima has lost power, there are too many people who are willing to become her subordinates, and they will still provide her with a lot of useful information.
She must have gotten some inside information to come, otherwise what would she be doing in Tong County?
The glory of the Qing Empire?
There is Manchukuo in Manchuria, and there is the Jidong Autonomous Government here. The Japanese even prepared to establish "autonomy for the five provinces of North China" at one time, and there is also a National Government in Nanjing.
The Japanese will definitely win the final victory of the war, and Yin Rugeng has no doubt about this.
What's the first thing to do after winning?
recover!
And restore the people's livelihood and economic order that were greatly damaged during the war.
Then, a government is needed.
A new government.
Yoshiko Kawashima came to Tong County in advance to wait for Sakuragi Hanamichi?
One reason:
She knew that Sakuragi Hanamichi had a special mission.
This special mission is most likely to select talents for future government inspections.
And from the slightly sarcastic words in Sakuragi Hanamichi's mouth, it can be seen that he is not very cold towards Kawashima Yoshiko.
Yin Rugeng figured out these problems in the shortest possible time.
He is an out-and-out smart man, and he can analyze so much content based on just two sentences from Sakuragi Hanamichi.
Authenticity?
Yin Rugeng has never doubted the authenticity.
He has no doubts about Sakuragi Hanamichi's identity.
Because prominent figures in Tongxian County such as Shigeru Hosoki, Shigeru Taketo, and Noo Ohda all personally accompanied Sakuragi Hanamichi to dinner. If he was a fake, I'm afraid he would have been caught in the military police.
Also, Kawashima Yoshiko and Sakuragi Hanamichi appeared at the same time.
Why?
Only the reason Sakuragi Hanamichi said just now.
Yin Rugeng had calculated everything, except for one thing:
This is a game.
A game carefully planned by Meng Shaoyuan.
He used Kawashima Yoshiko and Matsudaira Ino to prove to Hosoki Shigeru that he was Japanese, and he was also a Japanese who maintained a close relationship with the powerful class.
Then, through Hosokushige and others, he further confirmed his identity to the big and small traitors in Tong County.
There will definitely be a drinking party. Being able to drink with people like Shigeru Hosoki is definitely of great significance. All the traitors will know it soon.
Then, Meng Shaoyuan could act unscrupulously.
In the big chessboard of Tong County, everyone is a chess piece that can be used.
Once the functions of the chess pieces are fully utilized, there is only one ending:
General! Killer!
However, he also didn't think of one thing:
He actually directly lured out Yin Rugeng, the number one traitor in Tong County.
Therefore, Meng Shaoyuan set up a separate bureau for Yin Rugeng.
"The empire will establish a new government with Chinese as the main officials and Japanese as advisers." Meng Shaoyuan felt that it was time to start closing the net: "My father will serve as the economic adviser to the future government."
That is a particularly important position. Controlling the economy is equivalent to controlling the lifeblood of a country.
Yin Rugeng asked cautiously: "I welcome the new future government with both hands, but what about us? For example, Manchukuo or the Jidong Autonomous Government."
"Everyone is arranging new positions in the new government. The only headache is probably the Emperor of Manchuria, but we can let it go for the time being." Meng Shaoyuan returned to his casual tone: "As for people like Yin With a talent like Mr. I think it would be more than enough for him to serve as a minister in the new government."
Yin Rugeng was a little disappointed. His "lofty ambitions" were far from being satisfied by just one minister: "Mr. Sakuragi, I am a loyal friend of the Empire of Japan. I want to do more for the empire."
"Mr. Yin, do you want a bigger official?" Meng Shaoyuan smiled: "Although I can't control the appointment of officials by the empire, I can at least make some suggestions through Lord Songping, and your words will be taken seriously."
"If Mr. Sakuragi makes this suggestion, what will be the price?"
"One million yen." Meng Shao saw the original picture and said: "With this money, I can ensure that you become the minister, and the minister of economy. I can work hard to recommend you to become the president of the Executive Yuan and the director of the Supervisory Yuan. or an equivalent position.”
Meng Shaoyuan thought about it. If Yin Rugeng was not fooled so easily, then he would have the next move, which he had no doubt about.
One ring is within another, and the rings are interlocking.
However, something unexpected happened to Meng Shaoyuan. Yin Rugeng didn't hesitate for a second: "When will Mr. Sakuragi want this money?"
I bother!
Meng Shaoyuan, you big pig head, this money will definitely be short.
Meng Shaoyuan wished he could give himself a slap.
Miscalculated.
Absolute miscalculation.
It is impossible for a big traitor who is convinced of his identity and has long been blinded by his desire for power to suspect that the Japanese who came all the way to China and were accompanied by so many big shots from Tong County are deliberately trying to defraud money. of!
late.
Meng Shaoyuan couldn't laugh or cry: "Of course the sooner the better, because I am going to Peking!"
