In the morning, Zhong Yifu dressed in casual clothes and brought a cultural teacher into a teahouse.

After the trip hall, I saw Zhong Yi Mansion coming for three days, I quickly brought tea and asked with a professional smile: "Mr. Zhong came early today."

Zhong Yifu gave the tea money, took a few more copper plates in his hand, and the pawn immediately came over and asked in a low voice: "Master Zhong, what do you want to inquire about today?"

The cultural instructor of the follower smiled and said, "According to the rules, give me some snacks first and talk slowly!"

This cultural instructor is named Chen Deli. He grew up in Polympic Alley in Tianjin. He lost his father when he was young. He relied on his mother and half-aged brother. Before he graduated, he went to the tea shop to work as a waiter and an apprentice in the bookkeeping. He is smart and hardworking, very careful in doing things, and is very familiar with the affairs of the market. He is highly valued by Zhong Yifu. This time he was inquired about the news in Siping and specially brought him out to be a helper.

Soon after, the tea and snacks were placed. The guy rubbed his hands and took the reward. Zhong Yifu asked, "Mr., you said yesterday that there are six chambers of commerce in Siping. I walked along the street, why did you only see five guild halls?"

"Master Zhong, the one you didn't see is Master Zhou San. Master Zhou San opened a gold mine in Heilongjiang and mainly went to Russia to buy and sell things. Usually we don't come to Siping."

"If you don't come to Siping, you can still be considered a chamber of commerce? But since you dare to open a gold mine, it seems that there are many guards in the Sanye family this week." Zhong Yifu sighed deliberately.

"I don't know this."

Zhong Yifu added a few more copper coins to the clerk, and the clerk whispered: "Master Zhong. I just heard that there must be 200 or 300 people in Zhou San's clerk. I heard that there are 40 or 50 people who can ride horses and shoot. I don't know if it is true or not."

"If I want to pay homage to Mr. Zhou San, when will I have to wait?"

"In autumn, Master Zhou San will come to Siping. If Master Zhong came to do business at that time, he would have seen him."

The identity of Zhong Yifu originally composed for himself was a businessman from Fengtian. He went to Siping and Changchun to check out the market. At this time, he followed the friend's words and asked, "I don't know if there are any big shots coming at that time?"

"Master Zhong, it's hard to say whether a big shot would come at that time. I heard that a big shot came recently. I heard that a Governor He came from the capital. After arriving in Siping, there was no one. I just sent his deputy commander and two battalion commanders to visit the mayor, police chief, and chamber of commerce. I wonder if Mr. Zhong had heard of it?"

Zhong Yifu shook his head, "I haven't heard of it." He felt that his answer was too casual, not like a businessman, so he smiled and said, "I came from Siping from the capital, so how could I see such a big man?"

While he was talking, a man who looked like a small businessman suddenly ran in outside. He entered the store and shouted: "Boss Han, Boss Han."

The shop owner walked out of the inner room and smiled and said, "Boss Zhu, what happened? Are you so anxious?"

"Boss Han. That Governor He has arrived in Siping?" Boss Zhu said anxiously.

"Didn't Governor He come for three days? Why did he arrive in Siping again?"

"Oh! I made a mistake before. Governor He did not follow the troops to Siping. The first one was his subordinates. I heard that the soldiers in the Siping City barracks all came out to welcome them. Later, Commander Song of the Security Regiment went to the barracks to pay homage to Governor He in person."

The owner Han of the teahouse was stunned for a moment and said thoughtfully: "Really? Governor He is so arrogant."

Boss Zhu said "spray" and spitted, saying unhappily: "Every time a great man comes, he will have to increase taxes and distribute grain, and Latin." "I thought about it, but I was a little uneasy," Boss Han, you have a wide street, and I can't afford to mess with anyone, why don't you raise some money first?"

The Han owner of the teahouse gave in to the Neitang, "Boss Zhu, let's go in and talk."

When Zhong Yifu heard that He Rui had arrived, he had no intention of asking again. He took a sip of tea and got up and left. The man quickly said, "Boss Zhong, if you want to inquire about the market, come to the teahouse to find me."

Halfway through the way, Zhong Yi Mansion thought about it and felt something was wrong. After all, the mission was on his own, so it was a bit inappropriate to go back like this. After all, Xu Jia proposed the task discipline, and as long as he was not notified, he could not go back without authorization during the day. He stopped and thought about it, Zhong Yi Mansion ordered: "Chen Deli, let's change the clothes. You can continue to collect information."

With the excuse of making excuses, Zhong Yifu went straight to the base in his clothes as his accompanying man and entered the barracks through the back door.

In the main hall, He Rui was having a meeting with Xu Jia and others. When he saw Zhong Yi Mansion coming in, he nodded and asked him to sit down.

The information about Siping has been written into a summary. Siping was originally a small place. After the construction of the Middle East Railway, it was a hub on the transportation line, although it was not as good as Fengtian and Changchun, but it also had a population of more than 200,000.

Judging from the current situation in the Northeast, the military configuration cannot be considered weak. There is a security regiment with more than 500 people. Because of the intersection of all directions, the relationship between the city is complicated, and the leading figures are restrained. For example, the police chief Duan Changgui and Siping Mayor Peng Minsheng are colluding with each other, and they are not on the same side with the security regiment.

In the work plan, gentry who did not possess military power was not the current focus and was not the main target of investigation at this stage, but it was an important part of the city after all. After all, it was an important part of the city. At this point, Zhong Yifu quickly opened his notebook and talked about the chamber of commerce he investigated.

All outsiders and merchants in the pass must have their own arms, and the presidents of the five major chambers of commerce in Siping each have a guard. The members of the chamber of commerce must rely on these armed forces to transport goods and defend their own business.

In addition, the only armed forces in Siping were left with a small team stationed near the station by Japan, as well as the Russian Railway Institution Guard that regularly patrolled.

After talking about the investigation content, the students couldn't help but be curious. Zhong Yifu took the lead and asked, "Captain, you went to Kantongzhou for negotiations this time. Did the Japanese not make things difficult for you?"

He Rui smiled slightly, "Fortunately, some political and economic interests have been exchanged and they have been handled properly. If you are interested, look for some time and I will talk to you carefully, but now let's deal with the Siping problem first."

Seeing that the municipal government, police organizational structure and basic military intelligence analysis were completed, He Rui frowned and asked. "Do you have any suggestions on the quick takeover of Siping?":

The students were talking nonsense. Some suggested training troops first, and then waiting for an opportunity to seize power after training them; some suggested taking office first and sorting out slowly, fighting step by step, and slowly collecting power; some even suggested sending personnel to penetrate slowly.

He Rui shook his head and said, "Now we have a heavy task and time is very tight. I'm afraid we don't have time to get involved with these local snakes. I think it's better to cut the mess quickly, but it will change later." He turned to Xu Chengfeng and said, "Chengfeng, go and send a telegram to the Chief of Staff of the Governor's Office Hamami and the Major General, telling him that I will take office at noon the day after tomorrow and set up a banquet at the Siping Huaqinglou Hotel. Invite Hamami and the Major General to the banquet."

According to the organizational structure, there will be clerks at every meeting. The clerks this time are Tang Gui, who is the focus of training. He looked surprised when he heard the invitation and forgot to record.

He Rui shook his head, took the record book, wrote down the contents of the telegram before putting the book back in front of Tang Gui.

Zhong Yifu looked at He Rui and then at Xu Chengfeng. He was really confused. He wanted to ask, but he didn't dare to ask. He turned around and looked at Xu Chengfeng with inquiring eyes. However, he saw Xu Chengfeng's serious expression and did not object.

Then he heard Xu Jia ask, "Captain, what happened to the Governor's Office in Kanto this time?"
