The next day, Ning Zhiheng made a little arrangement, entered the concession again, quietly returned to the Tan Mansion, and immediately notified several backbones to come and meet.

In the study, Ning Zhiheng sat on the chair, closed his eyes slightly, and listened to the work report of Nian Zhe, the leader of the transportation team.

"At present, our fleet has expanded to four, and the number of trucks has reached more than 300, and the transportation volume has greatly increased......"

Nian Zhe did things carefully and carefully, and made a detailed report on some problems in the transportation process, and finally said: "Also, this time we brought back the goods, the number of pig bristles and tung oil is twice as much as before, and there are a lot of tungsten ore. ”

Hearing this, Ning Zhiheng suddenly opened his eyes and asked in a deep voice: "These are all materials that the government has coordinated and sold, how can they let us interfere?" In particular, tungsten ore is a military strategic material prohibited by the national government. Just do it secretly by yourself, blatantly stretch out his hand, is he afraid that there will not be enough enemies? ”

Liu Ruichang is the leader of the material group, and is also the main person in charge of Huang Xianzheng's arrangement of smuggled materials and bulk sales, the scale of the material group is getting bigger and bigger, and Liu Ruichang's work is also very good, not only the bulk sales are clean and neat, but the way to receive the goods is also getting wider and wider.

In the past, every time the transport convoy unloaded the smuggled materials, and loaded some local specialties on the return trip, in fact, it was not to make money, but mainly for the so-called caravan name, used to hide people's eyes.

Later, Liu Ruichang found that this was too wasteful of resources, so he collected a lot of special materials from the Guotong region every time, such as agricultural and sideline products, raw silk, cotton, silk, etc., and asked the team to bring them back to Shanghai and transport them to overseas countries for sale through the channel of Shanghai.

Later, Liu Ruichang obtained some military strategic materials through relations, such as pig bristles, tung oil, tungsten ore, etc., these materials are prohibited strategic materials, transported to the international market, the profit is ten times or even more than twenty times, especially tungsten ore, is the most sought-after goods, the profit is very huge.

Liu Ruichang naturally saw the opportunity to collect these strategic materials in the national control area as much as possible, but these strategic materials were all coordinated and sold by the government, and the interest chain in this was difficult for outsiders to interfere with!

For this reason, Ning Zhiheng had already instructed Liu Ruichang that this kind of taboo should not be too big, and it would be ugly to eat, and it would inevitably make too many enemies, which affected the normal transportation of materials, after all, the original intention of the establishment of the material transportation line was to support the anti-Japanese resistance, and the overall situation was ruined because of some money, but because of small losses, the gains outweighed the losses.

Although Ning Zhiheng has enough background and backstage, he is not lacking in caution and caution, on the contrary, he thinks more than others, and he can earn less money, but some people can never afford to offend, and they must not be too ostentatious.

Nian Zhe heard the displeasure in Ning Zhiheng's words, and hurriedly explained: "You have already explained, how dare Team Leader Liu not listen, but this time it is what Chief Zhang meant, and the bureau personally agreed, so the materials of Liangguang can also be transported and sold by us, and the materials obtained should be transported to Liangguang first to support the Fourth War Zone." ”

Hearing that it was Huang Xianzheng's meaning, Ning Zhiheng was certain in his heart, he knew that Huang Xianzheng was cautious in his words and deeds, and he was careful in handling things, if there was really a risk, he would not interfere in it.

What's more, there is the face of Chief Zhang here, not to mention that he had the grace of protection and support for Ning Zhiheng during the Battle of Songhu, that is, standing on the national interest, the two Guangxi regions have fought several times in the past six months, and it is one of the main battlefields of the Sino-Japanese war, and the famous Battle of Kunlun Pass was launched during this time, giving great casualties to the Japanese army.

However, it is undeniable that the national army made great sacrifices, but the strategic goal was not achieved, and in the end it did not recapture the important land of Nanning, resulting in the cutting off of the Guiyue communication line, so that the materials of the two Guangxi could not be transported outward, and the losses were great.

In the past few years, among the high-level leaders of the Baoding department, the qualified bigwigs know that Huang Xianzheng has a hidden trade channel in his hands, so Chief Zhang wants to replenish supplies and restore combat strength as soon as possible, so he found Huang Xianzheng.

In this regard, Ning Zhiheng was of course willing to help, and immediately nodded and said, "Okay, this matter is important, just handle it according to the meaning of the bureau!" ”

Next, Ning Zhiheng listened to the reports of Zuo Rou and Huo Yueze respectively, and now there are not many cadres in the concession, except for Yi Huaan and Zuo Gang in the urban area, Kang Xuezhi and Deng Zhihong in Nanjing, the only ones who are qualified to report to Ning Zhiheng are Zuo Rou and Huo Yueze.

The telecommunications team and the general affairs office managed by Zuo Rou are running normally, there is nothing to say, and the most important thing next is to listen to Huo Yueze's report.

Huo Yueze made a report on his recent work, focusing on the matter of Phillips, and gave a detailed account of the discussion between himself and Phillips.

After listening, Ning Zhiheng nodded slightly, and said: "These two things are really together, it's okay, then solve them together, save more effort, as for Cha Yutang?" What are you going to do? ”

Huo Yueze replied: "Phillips asked us to do it as soon as possible, I have already sent Zuo Qiang to arrange, according to our investigation, Zha Yutang has made an appointment with a director of the Ministry of Industry Bureau to have dinner tonight, at the Bell Hotel, I plan to do it on his way home, and after being arrested, he will be strictly interrogated, and then all hidden dangers will be removed according to the confession, and this matter will be completely resolved." ”

"Well, that's good!" Ning Zhiheng nodded with satisfaction, Huo Yueze had already arranged everything, this kind of action was not difficult, so he didn't ask any more.

At about ten o'clock in the evening of the same day, Zha Yutang, who had just entertained the director of the completion department, sat in the car and drove on the way home, his heart fluctuated and he was secretly anxious.

Just yesterday, one of the men he had sent to spy on Phillips was missing, and the fact that Cha Yutang was immediately alerted.

The people who could be sent to carry out the surveillance mission were all his trusted men, and it was impossible for him to disappear like this, and his intuition told him that he was afraid that people had fallen into the hands of Phillips.

This made Zha Yutang extremely uneasy, the matter must have been exposed, as the chief inspector of the British and American concessions, but sent people to spy on the diplomats of the American consulate, if Phillips pursued this matter, he would not be able to explain it at all.

What he has to do, of course, is to resolutely refuse to admit that this matter has anything to do with him, but fortunately, he did not hand over the truth to these subordinates before doing things, and his subordinates did not know the relationship between themselves and Li Zhiqun, so he barely had room for defense.

However, as a diplomat in the US Consulate, Phillips's status is much higher than his own, and once this incident happens, even if he denies it, he has enough ways to deal with himself, and he can't prevaricate, but he is afraid that it will be difficult to preserve the position of Inspector General Hua, who has worked up for many years.

For this reason, tonight, Zha Yutang specially invited one of his backers, a powerful director in the Ministry of Industry Bureau, to dinner, and said all the good things during the banquet, informed him of his situation, and gave a thick gift, asking this supporter to pull himself at a critical time.

Fortunately, Qian can communicate with his mind, and finally got the promise of the other party, Zha Yutang relieved himself a little, and secretly calculated in his heart that he would hurry to the British Consulate tomorrow to visit the consul, and get through this joint, maybe he could get through this hurdle.

In the confusion of Cha Yutang's thoughts, the car traveled all the way, and soon turned into a street, which was the only way for him to go home, which was not far from home.

The security of the public concession is not bad, especially Zha Yutang's home is in the center of the public concession, and there are American troops nearby, so Zha Yutang is not too worried about his safety.

But just as the sedan turned the street, a sedan drove quickly on, and the front of the car rushed directly towards Zha Yutang's car.

The dazzling lights flashed the driver's eyes in a trance, and involuntarily stepped on the brakes, and the opposite car also stopped suddenly, and the two cars made a piercing brake sound at the same time, each drawing a section, which could be parked in the middle of the road, and the front of the car was relatively close at hand!

This sudden situation caught Zha Yutang, who was sitting in the back of the car, off guard, and his body suddenly hit forward, hitting the driver's seat in front of him, and his cheeks hurt!

"Bastard, how do you drive the car?"

When the car stopped, Zha Yutang raised his head and couldn't help but scold.

But he soon found out that something was wrong, because there were also bright headlights shining behind him, and at some point, a car also came behind them, one after the other from the previous car, blocking Zha Yutang's car in the middle.

Finished! It was a deliberate accident that someone was going to do to themselves!

This thought rose in Zha Yutang's mind, but it was too late, and before he could react, several figures in the darkness approached at an extremely fast speed.

"Whoa, whoa!"

The front and rear windows were shattered at the same time, and several cold muzzles were pointed at them.

"Don't move, if you move, you're dead!"
