On the morning of the next day, someone from Ning Zhiheng's mansion came to visit, and it turned out that Zhou Fushan and Wen Hao came together.

The two of them appeared in front of Ning Zhiheng's eyes together, which made Ning Zhiheng quite surprised, you must know that when Wen Hao first came to Nanjing, because of the seventy-sixth, Zhou Fushan was also embarrassed by Wen Hao, until Wen Hao hugged Imai Yushi's thigh, Zhou Fushan stopped, but now it seems that the two of them get along well.

In the study, the two of them presented the gifts in their hands, which were naturally the precious antiques they had painstakingly collected, Ning Zhiheng was the one who came, and after appreciating it, he was naturally satisfied and smiled.

The three of them sat down again, and Ning Zhiheng asked with a smile: "Wenjun, I thought you and Imai Jun would come together, what's the matter, is he very busy with work?" ”

Wen Hao hurriedly explained: "Section Chief Imai is indeed a little inseparable, because a grand banquet was held in the consulate tonight, and the participants were all officials and celebrities in important positions, and the security level was very high, all of which were in charge of the Special High Division and the Military Police Headquarters, so Chief Imai and Commander Koda were arranging security work. ”

"Oh! So that's it! Ning Zhiheng nodded, and looked at Zhou Fushan again, "I didn't expect you and Zhou Jun to have a good relationship." ”

Wen Hao knew that Mr. Fujiwara wanted to ask about the relationship between himself and Zhou Fushan, some things should not be said, and there should be a sense of proportion, so he couldn't help nodding secretly in his heart, Mr. Fujiwara has been in the top position for a long time, and he has his own rules for dealing with people.

"Actually, I have always gotten along well with Minister Zhou, it was because of Li Zhiqun that there was a slight misunderstanding, and now I work in the Supervision Yuan, Minister Zhou has been taking care of me more, this time I know that I am coming to visit you, so I came with me!"

I see! The two of them formed an alliance because they were full of hatred and hostility towards Li Zhiqun, and even Wen Hao even wooed Zhou Fushan to express his closeness to him.

Ning Zhiheng glanced at Wen Hao, turned to Zhou Fushan again, and said with a smile: "It seems that Wen Jun's work in the Supervision Yuan is going very well, thank you Zhou Jun for taking care of you!" ”

Zhou Fushan replied with a smile on his face: "You are polite, Minister Wen is shrewd and capable, and his performance at work is impeccable, I am just a favor, and I should do it!" ”

Ning Zhiheng nodded with satisfaction, you must know that Zhou Fushan is Wang Reclamation's confidant and the third person in the Nanjing government, Wen Haoneng has formed an alliance with him, and naturally he will not be isolated and excluded like Li Zhiqun, it can be seen that in terms of dealing with people in the officialdom, Wen Hao has thrown Li Zhiqun several streets.

As for Zhou Fushan, Ning Zhiheng also had the intention of wooing, this person's historical background, Ning Zhiheng also has some understanding, this person was born in the Red Party in his early years, and later the revolutionary situation was bad, he betrayed the revolution, turned around and took refuge in the Kuomintang, and when the Japanese gained power, seeing that the situation of the Kuomintang was unfavorable, he followed Wang Reclamation, surrendered to the Japanese, and became a big traitor.

It can be said that this person is capricious, his position is the least firm, everything is based on his own interests, he has no faith and position at all, even now, he has no loyalty to Wang Reclamation and the Japanese, such a greedy and shameless politician, as long as there is a temptation of interests, he can easily win over, but he can take advantage of it.

Ning Zhiheng smiled and said to Zhou Fushan: "Zhou Jun and I are also old acquaintances, we are not outsiders, we should be more close in the future." ”

Hearing Ning Zhiheng's words, Zhou Fushan was even more excited, he and Fujiwara Zhiren were only in contact for a short time in Shanghai, came to ask for help, borrowed Fujiwara Zhiren's hand, and put Li Zhiqun together, and now with Fujiwara Zhiren's affirmation, the relationship will naturally go further.

"Mr. favors, he is flattered by his humble position, and he will always be invited in the future!" Zhou Fushan said respectfully.

Ning Zhiheng continued: "Zhou Jun, how is the operation of the China Savings Bank now? You are the president, if you have any news, you have to inform me in time, I heard that just a few months after the issuance of the China Reserve Coin, you are interested in changing the exchange rate, is that so? ”

Zhou Fushan hurriedly explained: "This is not our decision, but the meaning of the Japanese experts, they think that the exchange rate set before is too low, and it is cheaper for the Chongqing government, but you can rest assured, it has not yet been decided, if there is news, I will definitely inform you in advance!" ”

"Good!" Ning Zhiheng said with a smile, "By the way, Li Zhiqun has done a good job in promoting the Chinese Currency Reserve in Shanghai, does this have any impact on you and Wen Jun?" ”

As soon as Ning Zhiheng mentioned this matter, the two people sitting suddenly came to their senses, they came to see Fujiwara Tomohito this time, most of them came for this matter.

Wen Hao first spoke up: "It is indeed very influential, since Li Zhiqun returned to Nanjing, with this credit, he has been very arrogant, recruiting police officers, enriching equipment, expanding the strength of the police department, and also eyeing our 21st territory, even the words of the section chief Imai are all yang and yin, but General Kagezuo has more and more trust in him, and the section chief Imai is also powerless." ”

Zhou Fushan also hurriedly said: "Sir, if you don't die by fighting a snake, you will suffer from it, we didn't control him to death in Shanghai, and now he has eased up, and he has smuggled this way of wealth, and he is rich and rich, and he is not under my control at all, and he has embarrassed me many times at government meetings, and his attitude is bad, which makes me embarrassed, I am thinking about the overall situation, and I tolerate him in every way, but this is not the solution!" ”

Watching the two of them complain about each other, Ning Zhiheng knew that it seemed that they had been oppressed by Li Zhiqun recently, and Li Zhiqun's smuggling business was very profitable, which made Hiroki Kagesa very satisfied, which made Li Zhiqun even more supportive, and made Wen Hao and Zhou Fushan feel threatened, so they came to ask for their support.

Ning Zhiheng had already planned for this, he must not let Li Zhiqun dominate, so he had to support Wen Hao and Li Zhiqun to form internal friction before, and now it is also this idea.

Thinking of this, he frowned, and said with some regret: "What you said is that last time I originally planned to clean up Li Zhiqun, but General Yingzuo came forward to speak for him, and I had to give a face, but I will talk to General Yingzuo and let Li Zhiqun restrain himself, but he expanded in the name of the Ministry of Police, which is indeed a troublesome matter." ”

At the beginning, Imai Yushi came forward to negotiate with Qingqing Masarao, and they had already negotiated with each other, and the forces of No. 76 would not enter Nanjing, but Li Zhiqun developed his forces in the name of the Ministry of Police.

Ning Zhiheng continued: "However, don't worry, I will take this matter to heart, and I have my own way." ”

Ning Zhiheng knew that as long as he had the support of Shadow Zoki Hiroki, it would be impossible for him to really attack Li Zhiqun, and now Li Zhiqun was quite deferential to himself, and the threat was not great, and there was no need to risk tearing his face with Shadow Hiroki to deal with Li Zhiqun, so he had to secretly support Wen Hao and Zhou Fushan and the like, and play a role in pulling the strings, so he prevaricated for the time being, and then it would depend on the situation later.

Hearing Ning Zhiheng's words, the hearts of the two of them calmed down a little, and they stayed for a while before they got up and left.

At about six o'clock in the evening, Ning Zhiheng came to Junpei Uehara's mansion, and after the uncle and nephew met, they rushed to the consulate general together.

When I came to the consulate, it was already surrounded by guards, and for such a high-level banquet, the Japanese high-level naturally did not dare to take it lightly, and all the security forces used the Japanese military's strength, even Wen Hao's 21st, and they were not eligible to participate.

At this time, the door of the consulate was open, and the military and political dignitaries of the Japanese and Nanjing governments kept coming, entering the consulate in twos and threes, and it was very lively.

Consul General Gong Kazujun and several entourage officials guarded the door, personally greeted the distinguished guests from all walks of life, and greeted the guests warmly whenever they arrived, and then led the guests to the banquet hall with his own personnel behind him.

Seeing Junpei Uehara and Ning Zhiheng appearing, Gong Yichun didn't dare to slack off, quickly shook off everyone, ran a few steps to meet him, came to Junpei Uehara and bowed deeply, and said: "General Uehara, President Fujiwara, Tameng Appreciation, please come with me!" ”

After speaking, he turned around and made a gesture of please, and personally led the two of them to the arranged banquet hall.

The area of this banquet hall is very large, the flowers arranged in it are splendid, the furnishings are also luxurious, a large platform is arranged in the north, which is used for speeches and performances, the whole hall is divided into a number of small areas, respectively, the Japanese and pseudo personnel are arranged, the seats close to the platform are naturally the VIP seats with the highest status, and the other areas are arranged according to the different levels of status and identity.

In the passages between the areas, there is a long row of tables, on which fresh fruits, delicious food and wine are placed, and there are Japanese waiters in uniform to stand by, everything is arranged in an orderly and clear manner.

At this time, there were already many guests in the banquet hall, all of them high-ranking officials and dignitaries of the Japanese puppet government, celebrities in the political and business circles and their families, men and women were all dressed up, and the scene was very lively.

As soon as the group entered the hall, some people saw them, some of them greeted each other, and those with lower status flashed aside honestly.

At this time, Shimizu Hideshou and the other two parliamentarians were already sitting on the main seat, and when they saw the two people coming, they all got up to greet each other, and Junpei Uehara and Ning Zhiheng hurriedly bowed their heads in return.

Qing Shui Yingshou laughed and said, "Uehara-kun, your uncle and nephew are late, we have been waiting for a long time, we have to drink a few more glasses in a while!" ”

"Your Excellency Vice-Chancellor Lao, it's really rude, I'm willing to be punished, haha!" Junpei Uehara also said with a smile, stepped forward to salute, everyone greeted each other, and sat down one after another.
