During this time, Lu Chengzhou came into contact with Gong Qi Yihuan of the Social Bureau.

Gong Qi Yihuan is an assistant officer of the Social Bureau, but he is not from a military background, and he used to be a ronin.

Let a ronin serve as an assistant officer of the Social Bureau, which shows that Japan is really short of people.

Gong Qi Yihuan does have a plan to raise one million yuan to buy millet from Shanxi.

Gong Qi Yihuan planned to allow only ten businessmen to participate, and each businessman's share capital could not be less than 50,000.

He didn't want to expand the scope, he just wanted to work with people who were really powerful.

Although he set a threshold of 50,000 yuan, in fact, everyone will exceed this amount.

Gong Qi Yihuan even felt that only five people were needed to raise one million yuan.

Huang Xiao'an only has 30,000 yuan, but he wants to participate in this wealth trip.

However, Lu Chengzhou and Gong Qi Yihuan have also just come into contact, and they have not yet reached the point where they can talk about the rice purchase plan.

In the evening, Lu Chengzhou originally wanted to ask Gong Qi Yihuan to drink, but now in the situation in Haigu, it is difficult to find a place where he can calm down and drink.

After Lu Chengzhou got on the boat, he was very surprised when he heard Zhang Baotou's words.

"Is Dadong Company arresting laborers?" Lu Chengzhou said in surprise, but as soon as he finished speaking, he immediately understood.

Dadong Company was established at the behest of Wen Peishi, who has always taken it as his responsibility to serve the Japanese.

If Dadong Company is really for job placement, then it is really strange.

Lu Chengzhou was still thinking before that these people in Haigu City had finally done a job.

"It is said that it is a placement and employment, but it is actually a coolie, and if you are not satisfied, you will lose your life." Zhang Baotou said with a sigh.

He didn't say anything about Zhu Biao, the reason why he told Lu Chengzhou about Dadong Company was to see Lu Chengzhou's attitude.

Although he has done a lot of things for Lu Chengzhou, he has not helped Lu Chengzhou to betray the country for glory.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have found out that Lu Chengzhou was a Japanese spy when he got closer.

"Who did you listen to?" Lu Chengzhou asked casually, but he subconsciously took out his cigarette.

"I also listen to other people." Zhang Baotou said a little nervously.

Lu Chengzhou didn't ask again, Zhang Baotou obviously didn't want to tell him.

It's too difficult for ordinary people to hide their emotions.

In the evening, after Zhang Baotou went back, he went to Zhu Biao's residence, and Zhang Baotou temporarily rented a room for him.

"I brought you two catties of steamed buns and pig's head meat." Zhang Baotou hadn't tasted meat for a long time.

"Oh my mother, I've already smelled the scent." Zhu Biao almost pounced and snatched the paper bag from Zhang Baotou's hand.

A palm-sized steamed bun, he stuffed it almost entirely into his mouth.

"I told Lu Chengzhou about Dadong Company." Zhang Baotou took out a cigarette and said slowly.

"What...... You talk to ...... What did he say for? Zhu Biao's mouth was full of things, and when he heard Zhang Baotou's words, he said in surprise.

"Don't worry, I didn't say anything about you." Zhang Baotou hurriedly said that he and Zhu Biao were old buddies, so naturally he would not talk to Lu Chengzhou about Zhu Biao.

"You have to be careful of Lu Chengzhou, if he tricks you, don't talk nonsense." Zhu Biao admonished.

After Lu Chengzhou returned home, he didn't sleep immediately, and what Zhang Baotou told him surprised him.

In order to obtain reluctant labor, the Japanese can be said to do everything, and Wen Peishi has tried everything to pat the Japanese on the back.

Originally, Lu Chengzhou thought that Wen Peishi was just to evacuate refugees and send people to other places, which solved the problem of Haigu in disguise.

Unexpectedly, Wen Peishi turned out to be a laborer in order to deceive refugees.

The next morning, Lu Chengzhou went to No. 11 Hongqiang Road and assigned a new task to Ma Yuzhen to find out the truth about Dadong Company.

According to investigations, in the name of relocating refugees and helping people find employment, Dadong Company deceived middle-aged men in Haigu to become laborers. If this happens, we must stop it in time and disclose the truth to the people. Lu Chengzhou said solemnly.

"Dadong Company, doesn't it belong to the Flood Relief Association?" Ma Yuzhen said in surprise.

"It is precisely in the name of relief that it is easy for people to be deceived." Lu Chengzhou said with a deep groan.

"I'll find out as soon as I can." Ma Yuzhen said that she is a reporter from Yongbao and the deputy head of the intelligence group of the Haigu station, and it is really easy to find out about this matter.

"It must be as soon as possible, every day I don't know how many people will be deceived by them." Lu Chengzhou admonished.

These people are deceived into working as laborers, and they may never come back for the rest of their lives.

"I'll do it as soon as possible." Ma Yuzhen said that in this matter, no matter which side you stand on, you should do your best.

She believes that if the organization knew about it, it would definitely let itself do its best to find out.

After leaving from No. 11 Red Wall Road, Lu Chengzhou went to the French Concession along Yingkou Road, and he wanted to find a suitable place to invite Gong Qi Yihuan to dinner.

There are many restaurants in the British and French concessions, but not many can still operate normally during floods.

When Lu Chengzhou's boat arrived at the corner of Road No. 21 in the French Concession, he suddenly saw Detai Foreign Company.

Upstairs of Detai Foreign Company, it is the Majestic Hotel, which is located on the top floor, and such a deep water will not affect the business.

Lu Chengzhou went to ask, and the Majestic Hotel was indeed open.

After returning to the gendarmerie detachment, Lu Chengzhou went to find Ishida Akio and wanted to ask him to have dinner at the Dahua Hotel at noon.

"Why did you suddenly go to the French Concession for dinner?" Akio Ishida said with some surprise.

"The Majestic Hotel is upstairs in Detai Foreign Bank, although you have to take a boat to go there, it does not affect the meal." Lu Chengzhou explained.

"Broke the bank." Akio Ishida knows that the Majestic Hotel is very famous, not only because of its good taste and environment, but also because of its high price.

"At noon, I also want to make an appointment with Gong Qi Yihuan, the assistant officer of the Social Bureau, do you have no opinion?" Lu Chengzhou asked.

Even if Akio Ishida objected, for him, it was just an extra meal.

The consumption of the Majestic Hotel is indeed very expensive, but he still does not worry.

"Absolutely." Akio Ishida said.

Ishida Akio nodded, and Lu Chengzhou asked Gong Qi Yihuan again.

In the name of Ishida Akio, Gong Qi Yihuan also readily agreed.

Gong Qi Yihuan is just a ronin, if it weren't for the Japanese occupation of Haigu and the lack of manpower, he would not be qualified to be an assistant officer in the Social Bureau.

And Ishida Akio is an imperial soldier, or a gendarmerie detachment, and Miyaki Yihuan is the object of the gendarmerie supervision.

Gong Qi Yihuan also hopes that he can have a good relationship with the people of the gendarmerie.

This is the first time that Lu Chengzhou has officially contacted Gong Qi Yihuan, and after eating once, it is much more convenient to contact him again.

When they met for the first time, Lu Chengzhou didn't prepare anything for Gong Qi Yihuan, but he stayed with Gong Qi Yihuan for more than an hour and found that Gong Qi Yihuan was actually a greedy person.
