Liu Cheng was stunned for a moment, and then reacted:

"What do you mean? Shall we go to Arsa for the present? ”

Liu Cheng had seen the situation in Arsa's mansion very clearly before, and it was obvious that Arsa did not have any position, otherwise there would not be even a plaque in front of the door.

The only way to get in touch with the Japanese through Arsa was to act as one of his men.

The only thing that the Japanese should remember about is the little thing in his hand.

Moreover, Shinkyo is unlike anywhere else, where the military cannot monopolize power, and many things are subject to the constraints of the Japanese Ministry of the Interior.

At that time, Manchukuo set up the G-Yuan, which had many departments under its jurisdiction, with the Manchu ministers as the chief officials and the Japanese as vice ministers, but it was those vice ministers who really held the real power.

Some of these Japanese came from the military, and the other came from the cabinet, and the two forces had always been at odds with each other, and their attitudes towards some Manchu emperors naturally differed.

Before Japan provoked the war, the struggle between the cabinet and the military never stopped, and in the end, it was the military that gained the upper hand, planned and carried out 918, and then occupied the northeast.

However, at that time, Japan did not dare to be too blatant, and they needed to give a reasonable explanation to the League of Nations.

That's why there was the puppet regime of Manchukuo.

Naturally, the Japanese cabinet would not give up this opportunity and arranged for its own people to take up some posts in Manchukuo.

Although they are all positions with little power or no right to speak at all, it is better than not having a place at all.

It's one thing for the cabinet to fight the military, but it's another thing to fight or not, and the fact is that they have never given up completely.

Both Liu Cheng and Fein are clear about these things.

The reason why Finn found Arsa was because he was very close to a Japanese man named Sato.

This Sato is the Japanese among the three names Liu Cheng saw on that piece of paper, and he was just appointed vice minister of the Ministry of Culture and Education of Manchukuo not long ago.

After the Japanese supported the Manchu remnants to establish Manchukuo, they immediately established a relatively complete management system, and the Ministry of Culture and Education was one of them, in charge of the education system.

At that time, Japanese was the main language in all schools in Tohoku, and children could only speak Japanese in school, and if a student was found to speak Chinese, they would be severely punished.

This is the first step that the Japanese want to complete their colonial rule, language coverage.

If all Chinese children began to speak Japanese, received Japanese education, and learned Japanese ideas, they would gradually accept Japanese rule.

So after one or twenty years, when these children grow up, will they still rebel against Japanese rule?

However, at that time, the Japanese military was hurrying to prepare for the launch of a full-scale war, so the control of the Ministry of Culture and Education was not very strict, so Sato, who was born in the cabinet, picked up a bargain.

And Sato's purpose in interacting with Arsa is indeed for the things in Arsa's hands.

So far, Sato has "bought" more than a dozen centuries-old artifacts from Arsa at a very low price, each of which is worth a lot of money.

There is a reason why I chose Arsa.

In the whole of Shinkyo, only Sato knew that there was a very direct blood relationship between Arsa and that puppet.

With this relationship, what Artsa has in his hands must be more valuable than those of other royal relatives.

Two days later, Duan Gang took Liu Cheng and Gao Yuan to Arsa's mansion again.

Liu Cheng didn't know what "agreement" Duan Gang had reached with Arsa, so the three of them turned into Arsa's personal guards.

Anyway, Liu Cheng really didn't even dream that he would one day become a guard with a knife, and he was also an official position of Zheng Sipin.

Arsa clearly told the three of them that they were the first-class guards of the palace, which was the highest official position he could give, and above that was the imperial guard, and he had no right to give it.

Looking at the waist knife in his hand, Liu Cheng couldn't laugh or cry.

Although the mansion in Arsa looked very glamorous, in fact there were only thirteen subordinates in the entire courtyard.

Before Liu Cheng and the three of them came, E Xuan, who was in charge of opening the door and passing the word, served as the porter and guard.

The remaining twelve are four cooks, one housekeeper, two maids, three servants who clean and tidy up the yard, and two old mothers who clean up the house.

When Arsa saw Liu Cheng and Gao Yuan the day before, he was still wearing a suit, but this time he changed into a seawater Jiangya Nine Python dragon robe, and Liu Cheng was a little confused.

Compared to the puppet, Arsa's desire for "restoration" is obviously even better.

During the conversation, Liu Cheng learned that this Alsa was sent abroad at the age of 14 and has always received a Western education, but for some reason, his expectations for the "return to China" are far more fervent than anyone else.

Arsa told them that Sato would visit them every other week, and repeatedly told them not to talk nonsense, let alone spoil him.

Although this "four-grade guard" is not worth even half a catty of sauced beef in Xinjing now, it can be regarded as having a reasonable identity, which is convenient for them to secretly investigate Brita's whereabouts.

Panshi County.

A ragged woman, with a haggard face and blank eyes, staggered into the city after being examined by Japanese soldiers.

The woman's tattered clothes were stained with mud and emitted a foul stench, so that the Japanese soldiers were in no mood to lift her long hair that covered most of her face to look at it.

She hadn't eaten for a few days, and the woman's body was already very weak, and it was already her limit to be able to force herself into the city.

The scene in front of her was blurry for a while, her steps became more and more vain, she was thirsty, but she didn't know where to go to ask for a sip of water.

Staggering and not knowing how far she had gone, the woman finally fell in front of a pharmacy in front of her eyes.

Before losing consciousness, the woman vaguely saw three words on the plaque:

"Hyakkudo"

The guy who was busy at the counter saw the woman who fell in front of the door and hurriedly called the boss.

Qian Lu stepped forward to test the woman's snort, and gave her a pulse, so that the man carried the person into the backyard, first got her some water to drink, and then boiled some millet porridge.

The reason why I checked the woman's situation first was also to avoid trouble.

After the death of Ariyoshi Hayabusa, the commander of the Japanese army who took over the garrison of Panshi, Aomori Sasaki, put the safety and defense of Panshi County in the first place, if this woman was a dying person and could not be saved at all, Qian Lu had to go to the gendarmerie to report first, otherwise he would die after carrying the person in, and Aomori Sasaki would inevitably investigate the matter.

In fact, Aomori Sasaki has long wanted to thoroughly investigate Baicaotang, if it weren't for the Qian family's power in Panshi, I'm afraid he would have led someone to turn Baicaotang upside down.

It's not that he noticed anything, but that he fell in love with the Qian family's property.

Sasaki Aomori has two hobbies, one is killing people, and the other is money.

Originally, he was not an officer under Nomura Shouo, but after Ono Taro and Ariyoshi Hayabusa died in the hands of Liu Cheng one after another, Nomura Shouo came by the way when he applied for additional soldiers.

The reason why he named Aomori Sasaki was that Nomura Toshio took a fancy to his ruthless methods.

In order to prevent Liu Cheng from attacking the idea of rock, Nomura Toshio did not hesitate to send an additional team to Aomori Sasaki in the case of a shortage of troops under his command, in order to ensure that the rock could be firmly controlled in his hands.

If he loses the rock, Nomura Toshio will really not be able to eat and walk away.

When it was almost dark, the woman woke up leisurely, saw the bowl of warm millet porridge on the kang table next to her, and drank it without even thinking about it.

A bowl of millet porridge went down, and there was finally something in the stomach, and the woman began to look at the situation in the house.

Before she could figure out where she was, the door was pushed open.

A woman in her forties struggled to carry a wooden barrel in and placed it in the middle of the room.

Seeing that the woman on the kang had woken up, the woman immediately walked over and said with a smile:

"Girl, you are awake, I have been guarding you for most of the day; I'll give you a whole hot water, you take a shower first, and then drink half a bowl of rice porridge before going to bed, and get a good night's sleep.

Dr. Qian said, you have been hungry for a long time, you can't eat all at once, otherwise it is easy to break your stomach. ”

The woman shrunk into a ball vigilantly, staring at the woman without saying a word.

Seeing that her face was full of vigilance and did not speak, the woman did not care, smiled at her again, and turned to get hot water.

When he had prepared everything, he brought the woman another set of clean clothes, put them on the edge of the kang, and turned and walked towards the door.

Before leaving the door, the woman suddenly stopped, turned to the woman on the kang and said:

"Plug the door when you take a shower, be careful not to catch a cold, you are weak now, you can't stand the cold, Dr. Qian said; If there is anything, you can shout loudly, my name is Xu Fenglan, and I am in the next room. ”

After saying that, he stepped out and closed the door from the outside.

After a while, the woman on the kang carefully descended to the ground, bolted the door in place, and slowly walked to the steaming barrel and stood still.

The tattered clothes that exuded a burst of stench fell to the ground one by one, revealing a bumpy jade body.

Although most of the skin is covered in stains, it is still visible from the whiteness and delicacy of the local exposure, which is a young and attractive body.

The woman lifted her legs and stepped into the barrel, her body quickly disappearing into the rising white mist.

In this bath, the woman took a bath for almost two hours.

The water temperature slowly dropped, and the white mist on the barrel became lighter and lighter.

"Wow"

With a soft sound, a white slender thigh stepped out of the barrel, and the water droplets fell to the ground one after another with her movements, quickly seeping into the ground......
