There is a courtyard covering an area of more than 1,000 square meters.

It was the residence of the Chief of Police, Zalantai.

The reason why he is so arrogant is because Zalantai and the current Manchukuo are in power, although they have not succeeded in taking the title of "emperor", but all the people of that family still regard themselves as relatives of the emperor.

Zalantai is one of them.

The first thing he did after taking office as the chief of the Xinjing Police Department was to build such a courtyard for himself, although he did not hang any signs of the palace, but the decoration pattern inside was all in accordance with the specifications of the palace.

The old saying goes: A skinny camel is bigger than a horse, and that's true.

But even the biggest camel has already died of emaciation.

There are two or three hundred servants in Zalantai's house, and the daily expenses are not a small expense.

When he was a prince in the capital, it was naturally easy to say, but when he fled, he didn't take a lot of things with him, and now he can't support such a large "palace" expense in less than a year.

In Zalantai's study, an old man was pointing at his nose and scolding his mother:

"Zarantei! What do you do as a police commissioner? Your dad was robbed, you might as well just find a rope and hang him! ”

If Liu Cheng was here, he would definitely be shocked to find that what he had just robbed was actually a "relative of the emperor"!

That man was Zarantei's own father, Hodardu, but now he was only in an idle position, and he didn't have a few children.

In desperation, they could only take out these valuable things that they brought out when they fled and sell them for money.

But at the moment, there are really not many people who can afford these things except the Japanese.

They will definitely not go to the pawnshop, first, they can't give the price, and second, they don't want to be embarrassed, so the only choice is the Japanese.

Before that, the Japanese named Kawakojiro had already bought three things from Hodaldu.

This time, Zalantai father and son can be said to have made a bloody effort to take out this glazed jade Buddha, on the one hand, they wanted to exchange some money, and on the other hand, they knew that this Chuanxiongjiro was actually the son of a prince in Japan.

The time since the establishment of Manchukuo is not short, and anyone with a discerning eye can see that the Japanese have no intention of helping them restore their country at all, but just want to use these puppets to cover up people's eyes and ears.

Therefore, some people who are active and have begun to find a home for themselves and plan for the future.

Zalantai, father and son, is undoubtedly one of these people.

Seeing that there was no hope for the Qing Dynasty to restore the country, he wanted to hug the thighs of the Japanese, hoping to be able to have a relationship with Chuan Xiongjiro, and when it really came to the day when he couldn't get mixed up, there would be a way out.

Just now in the Wind and Rain Building, as soon as Chuan Xiongjiro heard the price offered by Hodal, he understood his true purpose, so he didn't immediately agree.

If it were an ordinary person, Kawaxiongjiro would definitely agree without hesitation, which was not a very difficult thing for him.

However, Zaranthai and his son were not ordinary people, so he had to think carefully, so he told Hodaldu that he would think about it before giving him an answer.

But he couldn't have imagined that he was cut off by Liu Cheng in a blink of an eye.

Zalantai was angry, this glazed jade Buddha was the most valuable one of the things he brought out from the capital, and it was originally intended to be used at a critical moment.

Now that the pinch has appeared, but the thing is gone, how can Zalantai not be angry?

He ordered the entire police station to be dispatched overnight to search for all suspicious people on the streets, arrest them and interrogate them severely.

However, Liu Cheng lived in the best hotel in Xinjing, and no matter how much the police investigated, they didn't dare to go there.

Although the Sifang Pavilion was rebuilt at the behest of the last emperor, if Zalantai wanted to check it, there would naturally be no problem.

The key is that there are not many Chinese living there at all, most of them are Japanese, even if Zalantai has the courage, he does not dare to disturb others.

After returning to the Sifang Pavilion, Guan Hong found an opportunity and secretly asked Liu Cheng:

"Battalion commander, you ...... What were you doing? Robbing someone's stuff? ”

Liu Cheng squinted and glared at Guan Hong:

"You know what? This thing wasn't his in the first place, and you'll understand it later, so don't ask too much now, let alone tell anyone. ”

Guan Hong let out an "oh", nodded, and didn't say anything more.

The things are in hand, but how to bring them out of Xinjing is still a problem.

However, Liu Cheng is not in a hurry, he came mainly to get diesel this time, and after this matter is done, it will be too late to find a way.

Besides, he knew very well in his heart that the people who could come up with such an object would naturally not be ordinary people, and they would definitely have nothing to do with that surname.

At the same time, he also thought that before the devil surrendered, he also snatched more than forty boxes of cultural relics from the puppet emperor, and it is estimated that among those cultural relics, there will be cultural relics of higher value than this glazed jade Buddha.

But it's too early to think about it, and he has plenty of time to prepare.

Early the next morning, he took Guan Hong and Qian Lu out of the door.

This time, Liu Cheng should really thank Zhang Guanyi.

If Zhang Guan hadn't left Qian Lu to him, whether it was medicine or diesel, Liu Cheng would have been stumped.

Qian Lu came to Liu Cheng early in the morning and told him that he knew the owner of a pharmacy and could go to him to give it a try.

Jirentang, one of the best pharmacies in the new capital, the owner Huang Yuren and Qian Lu's father are old friends.

From the conversation between Qian Lu and Huang Yuren, Liu Cheng felt that this Qian Lu was really suitable for his son to inherit his father's business to be a businessman.

Qian Lu told Huang Yuren that he planned to sell a batch of medicinal materials to the Guan, and did not highlight the number of wound medicines, so that it would not be easy to arouse suspicion.

When he was about to say goodbye, Qian Lu asked "inadvertently":

"Uncle Huang, my little nephew is still planning to buy a few barrels of diesel, I wonder if there is a suitable person to introduce me?"

The daily consumption of that diesel generator is not large, and a barrel of 360 catties of diesel can be used for almost a month, so Liu Cheng only plans to buy five or six barrels back this time.

This amount would definitely attract attention in a small county like Panshi, but in Xinjing, no one would pay attention to it at all.

Nowadays the Japanese are developing large industries, so diesel fuel is not difficult to get.

However, there is a premise for this, which is that it requires connections.

Where there are people, it matters, this is really a goddamn saying! (You can't say that too right, you know)

The originally very difficult thing was completed so easily in the hands of Qian Lu.

Liu Cheng was able to do business to that extent in his previous life, if he didn't know to leave an impression on these people at this time, it would be really in vain.

Moreover, if his team wants to develop, he blindly relies on snatching things from devils, which is complete nonsense, so he must open up some channels, have money in his hand, a gun in his waist, and a bullet in his gun in order to really develop!
