The next day at the Iwai Mansion, Asano was still surrounding him, and his actions were confusing.
Could it be that his refusal yesterday made them suspicious, so those people who are constantly looking at me today are afraid that I will do something detrimental to them?
He couldn't help but roll his eyes inwardly. He had praised himself to the sky for all the previous things, but now he thinks I'm unfaithful if I can't meet one condition. I'm really a bunch of unfamiliar white-eyed wolves.
Although Liu Limao is not really loyal, he probably wouldn't have stayed here for so long if he hadn't been able to provide some information.
But, it's better to get rid of their doubts as soon as possible, otherwise they will be in trouble later.
"Qianye, just tell me if you have anything to do. Looking at me so directly will inevitably make people think you like me." Liu Limao did not get angry and looked at him in the same way.
"Shiss ~" Asano, who was standing nearby, suddenly bared his teeth and grinned: "It's disgusting what you said. Come to the reception room with me and let's continue talking."
"Hi..." Asano didn't want to target him like this, but the superior issued an order: Although the marriage between the Mutan and Tan families does not have anything to do with the surname Liu, Iwai Mansion must be connected to this line.
Although domestic reserve supplies are abundant, they cannot support a protracted war and can only rely on China's territory for supplies.
Liu Limao already knew that this person asked him to talk again.
They were afraid that the Northeast Army's resistance at any time would lead to the elongation of the supply line, and they were also worried that the Northeast Army's rising resistance would lead to rising anti-Japanese sentiment in Shencheng.
This is really worrying. If the Northeast Army in the previous life had stood up to resist, there would be no need for me to go to Shencheng behind enemy lines to lurk.
But he couldn't say too much about this. The most common experience for undercover agents was to become the counselor behind the scenes, but not the kind that everyone knew.
The work he is doing now was originally reviled by the people, but when everyone knows it, I am afraid that a hundred years from now, I will have to dig up the graves of my ancestors.
The two came to a negotiation room, and Asano brought two cups of coffee.
"This is good Japanese coffee. Try it and see which one you like."
Liu Limao took the coffee and smelled it, and said with a smile: "It smells good."
"The superiors of the Mutan family have already known about the marriage. You can't hide anything." Asano got straight to the point: "Although this kind of thing is very uncomfortable for you, being loyal to the emperor is also to let you run towards a better future.
future."
"What does the marriage between the Mu and Tan families have to do with me, Liu? I, Liu Limao, am just a housekeeper of the Mu family. If the salary hadn't been too low, I wouldn't have made a career here."
"Is there really nothing you can do?"
"It's really not true. Don't look at the light outside the Mu family. In fact, what you have on hand is worse than an adjutant in their military camp."
"And the Tan family's line is not managed by me. It has always been under the control of Master Mu."
"I knew you were unwilling to betray your master, so I didn't say anything." Mr. Asano smiled: "When the time comes, you can help me introduce you to Mr. Mu, and Mr. Fujii will go and talk to him personally."
Why is this begging for nothing? Is it possible that the reason for taking Tan Yue'an's line is to prevent Tan Jun from supporting him?
Or should we ask Tan Jun to withdraw the border defense at Shencheng Port?
"I need to discuss this request with the young master. Otherwise, if I go there rashly, I'm afraid it will cause unpleasant troubles." Liu Limao stood up repeatedly. This matter must be reported to Wang Zilin.
Now that they know that the eldest brother is the Tan family's money bag, they might start killing him.
"Please."
Mr. Asano watched him go out, and Mr. Fujii walked in from the other door of the reception room: "Is this really okay?"
"What's wrong? This friend of mine needs to be threatened twice, otherwise he will try his best to escape from things that violate his bottom line."
"Then I wish us victory." Mr. Fujii held a glass of red wine in his hand and celebrated with Asano Hata's coffee cup.
"I wish us success, and we also hope that Northeast China can be won quickly."
On the other side, Liu Limao left the Iwai Mansion and went straight to the Chinese medicine clinic on Xiafei Road.
There was an endless stream of people treating patients in the traditional Chinese medicine clinic. He scanned the crowd and discovered Wang Zilin's presence.
"What happened? Are you here in such a hurry?" Wang Zilin, dressed as a medicine waiter, was grinding powdered medicine with an old Chinese medicine practitioner.
"The Mu family is now being targeted, and the Japanese want to contact the Tan family through this line."
"What's going to happen if the Japanese want to establish contact with the Tan family?" Wang Zilin put down his work and took him to the backyard.
"I guess it's to prevent Tan's army from moving troops north, or the Japanese army wants supplies, and there's also the matter of arresting the anti-Japanese organizations in Shencheng City."
"I think there may be an intention to test Tan Jun's deployment of troops."
"You mean that if the Northeast side completely implements Jiankang's non-resistance action, it is very likely that they will send out an entire army to Shencheng to do the same?"
Liu Limao carefully recalled what happened in his previous life: The war lasted for nearly two months and finally stopped with British intervention.
I don’t know if this will happen in this life, but all these signs indicate that the Japanese have great ambitions.
The growth of the organization is slow now. If we rely on Jiankang's actions, we will probably have to wait a few years.
"On the way here, I saw some students calling on other warlords to resist the invasion, sending out big-character posters regardless of the danger." Liu Limao put his hands on his hips and didn't know what to do for a moment.
"Anyway, your line in Japan cannot be exposed. There was news from Cai'er that Tan Jun can use it. Why don't you give it a try?"
"Test him with the Japanese?" He felt that this was unreliable: even if Tan Yue'an hated the Japanese deeply, there would always be people who wanted to curry favor with the Japanese for the sake of power.
"The Japanese are a touchstone for Tan Jun. If they are used well, they can also take the opportunity to dig out the traitors inside. If they are not used well, we can knock out a few Japanese and kill them in other areas."
Wang Zilin's words actually left him speechless.
It would be a good thing to kill him in other areas and force other warlords to take the lead in raising the banner against Japanese aggression.
However, this plan needs to be considered in the long run. If it triggers a civil war between the two sides, the gains will outweigh the losses.
"I understand, I'll contact Tan Yue'an to discuss this matter." Liu Limao said and left over the wall in the backyard.
On the way home, the more he thought about it, the more he felt that Wang Zilin's idea was unreliable.
It would be okay if they were asked to send people out to ambush and assassinate them themselves.
Putting the body on someone else's property is unreasonable even if you think about it.
Since the final result may be the death of a few Japanese people, it is better to kill them without meeting to avoid having to explain to the family.
If he really killed him, why wouldn't Commander Tan be implicated?
It would be really bad if his actions really trigger a war between Tan Jun and the Japanese army.
These problems troubled him all the way, but they were solved directly by Mu Fu and Cai'er the moment he arrived home.
"It turns out it's just such a trivial matter. I thought it was something that was bothering me." She leaned on the chair and ate snacks in her non-infusion hand.
"Since you have a solution, then tell me." Liu Limao was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot.
"I think what Wang Zilin said is right. We can't bear the crime of killing someone without authorization now." Mu Fu said slowly. Her marriage to Commander Tan was on the agenda these days, and she was in a very good mood.
"Then what do you mean..."
"You can lure people to the British and French Concession and kill them before they even meet."
"Ah...why didn't I think of this? If something happens, it can only be a matter of the British and French consulates." Liu Limao's eyes lit up: "When the time comes, I will arrange for people to guard the road they must pass.
I can’t find the heads of the Mu family and the Tan family.”
"Even if we ask them to do it, we have to ensure their safety." Mu Fu lived a peaceful life while recuperating from his injuries, feeling contented.
"That's not right, Brother Li, when did you think of killing the Japanese?" Cai'er brought a few glasses of milk from the kitchen and put them on the coffee table: "The Japanese are attacking the Northeastern people now. I heard that they occupied the country in one day yesterday.
A city."
"Who did you listen to?"
"Isn't it? Are they all dressed like this? It's not like before when the Qing Dynasty declined. Just send a telegram and the news can be spread all over China."
"And they still used a missing soldier as an excuse to attack. If their men really died in Shanghai, even if it happened in the British and French Concession, it would be us ordinary people who would suffer in the end."
"What Cai'er said makes sense. It's better to let Tan Jun negotiate with the Japanese first. If we can't agree to something, we can't agree to it. As long as we don't leave any excuses to others, we won't be on the wrong side." Mu
Fu also agreed.
"What you said makes sense." But now I don't know whether I should tell the Tan family about this, and I'm hesitant.
If the entire city of Shanghai knew about the Japanese invasion of Northeast China at once, then the anti-Japanese and national salvation organization in Shanghai would be established in consultation with Wang Zilin.
"Why don't you, Miss, give advice to Commander Tan and hold a press conference to announce the meeting? If anything happens later that raises suspicions about Tan Jun, let them read such reports."
"It's your fault..." Mu Fu grinned: "You don't necessarily need this kind of open news media. It's just like letting some tabloid reporters publish the news. Then leave a crack in the door and let them listen to the conversation.
content, and then compile news based on the conversation.”
"Let's discuss it with you, and the hut will be opened. Now let me take over the things that are inconvenient for Fu'er to do." Liu Limao joked.
