|.| Chapter 3: The Storm (Part 7)

The fire dragon foal is worthy of being one of the best horses in a hundred. Time of day. He carried Unn back and forth between the hilly area where Old Scar lived and the Black Stone Village. They came together. Of course, there is also Yan Fuquan, the security captain of the Black Stone Village, who is already anxious. The latter drank a few bowls of milk tea in the old scar's felt bag. After dropping a few gold bars. He returned again with the stars and the moon on his face.

When Yan Fuquan appeared in the Black Stone Village with a haggard face. It was already the morning of the 22nd lunar month. Throw the tired and paralyzed war horse to the henchmen who meet him. I don't even bother to wipe the dirt off my face. He spread his way and ran towards the Japanese adviser's office, which was located in the compound of the puppet government in Blackstone County. Didn't wait to get in. And he heard his lieutenant captain. Worship the sworn brother Liu Wenzhong's peculiar male duck voice." Taijun. The little one has already found the clue. Found the clue. In the past two days, the small one has taken people to comb through the large and small hotels and pubs in the city. Finally found out the true identity of the assassin."

"Liu Jun worked hard." Nominal Japanese advisor based in Blackstone. The de facto "Emperor Taishang" Junji Fujita put down a strong cup of tea in his hand. Smiling in appreciation.

As he wished, he was praised by the "Emperor Taishang". Liu Wenzhong suddenly felt that the bones on his body were a little lighter. Stand upright. Respond loudly." Not hard. Not hard. Share worries for Taijun. It is the duty of subordinates. If there is no guidance from the king. There is no peace in the Black Stone Village. No ....."

"Hmm." Junji Fujita waved his hand. interrupted the other party's fleshy confession." Liu Jun is a capable person. Sooner or later, there will be opportunities to show off your talents. Let's not talk about these digressions. Let's talk about the results of your interrogation in the past two days. If the case can be successfully closed. The Empire will not forget your credit."

"Yes." Liu Wenzhong was so happy that he almost flew. Quickly took out a transcript from his bosom that had been prepared long ago. I was just about to open my mouth to report. Yan Fuquan has already pushed the door in." Taijun. Good news. Good news. I've found the whereabouts of the assassin. I've found the whereabouts of the assassin."

"Yaga." The smile on Junji Fujita's face disappeared immediately. Step forward. The splitter gave Yan Fuquan a big slap in the face." Who let you in.. As a soldier. Don't you know that you have to report in advance when you enter your boss's room? Get out. Think about what you're going to do before you come in."

"Yes." Yan Fuquan held his swollen face. Aggrieved, he turned around and went out. Liu Wenzhong was very happy to see it. I was just about to take the opportunity to put on a show. The old devil Fujita glanced at him again. Indifferently commanded." Don't worry. I'll report back when Yan Jun comes in. He's your immediate boss after all. Although he acted a little recklessly. But I still have experience in handling cases."

"Yes. The little ones understand." Liu Wen was extremely disappointed in the center. But they don't dare to show it on their faces. Bowed. Accompany the old devil and wait patiently.

The old devil Fujita grabbed the teacup again. While savoring. While looking at Liu Wenzhong's behavior coldly. The assassination of county magistrate Zhu Chengbi. Makes him feel very annoyed. It's not because of how important Zhu Chengbi's dog is to him. Rather, it is an ongoing plan to integrate the four flags of Wuqi Yete. I was beaten by the sudden flying bullets. As the behind-the-scenes operator of the entire program. He had to find a new entry point. Foster new agents. One comes and goes. A lot of time and effort can be wasted. Over there at the headquarters of the Kwantung Army. It's also harder to get appreciated by your boss.

The good thing is that it has just happened. There is room to make up for all the omissions. For example, the guy surnamed Liu in front of him. More spineless than Zhu Chengbi. More shameless. Of course, it's also easier to control. If you put him in the position of county magistrate. Continue to complete the marriage with the former banner of the black flag. The damage caused by the assassination of the previous county magistrate. It can be reduced to a minimum. It's the cunning and greedy prince who doesn't know the front banner of Wuqi Yete. Will you agree to this new proposal...

In total, there was silence for about half a minute. The voice of the security captain Yan Fuquan came from outside the door again: "Report. Black Stone Village Security Captain Yan Fuquan. There is the latest information. Request to receive in-person instruction from Advisor Fujita."

"Please come in." The old devil Fujita has set up a score. I greeted the door with a belly that was gradually getting rich. Seeing Yan Fuquan's dusty body and his face that had just been washed with cold water. Laugh and praise." Phew. Is this what it looks like to be a soldier? No matter how tired you are. In front of superiors. All have to show full spirit. Indomitable will. YAN Jun. Your behavior just now was so rude."

"Yes." Yan Fuquan raised his face with a red handprint. Answer out loud." The humble duty understands the painstaking work of the Taijun. Humble post in the future to try to correct. Never do it again."

"Hmm. It's good to know that mistakes can be corrected." The old devil Junji Fujita smiled and nodded. Come on in. Look at the way you look. I guess I haven't slept in a few days. There's been a lot of things lately. It's really hard for you."

"It's not hard. It's not hard." Yan Fuquan immediately forgot about the pain on his face. Half-bent over. Maintaining the law and order of the Black Stone Village is the most important thing. As for subordinates. Can share the worries of Taijun. It's the greatest honor of my life."

"Sycophants. Shameless." Liu Wenzhong pouted quietly beside him. Seven faces are not convinced, and eight are not angry. But I was not satisfied. He also had to admit. Captain Yan is better at performing than his own team vice-president. Sensei saw that he had just received a big slap from the old devil. But just by the grass clippings on your head and the dust on your clothes. You can earn back all the losses you just made from Fujita Taijun. As for what military capacity is not military appearance. The ghost believed that Yan Fuquan had forgotten about him before. It's clearly a deliberate attempt to make it look like a dusty servant. It's a testament to how hard he's working these days.

Yan Fuquan keenly saw the small movements of the sworn brothers. Smiled. Continued: "The other brethren of the security team. It's the same as subordinates. vowed to seek justice for the dead county magistrate Zhu. subordinates before leaving. He had arranged for Liu to lead the brothers to check the recent foreign population in the city. It is estimated that in the course of two days and one night. They've found some clues. If you combine it with the information that your subordinates have just gotten......."

"Yan Jun's proposal is good." The old devil Fujita didn't care about Yan Fuquan and Liu Wenzhong's careful thoughts. For him. The more the captain and deputy captain of the security team are united. The easier it is for him to control it." Liu Jun was about to report to me just now. Now that you're back in a hurry. Why don't we sit down. Comprehensive analysis of all the information at hand. Well. I also have a telegram from Chifeng. ...... just arrived this morning."

Talking. He turned from the bookshelf against the wall. Pull out an envelope. A palm-wide telegram was lit up in front of Yan Fuquan and Liu Wenzhong.

Yan Fuquan stretched out his hands to take it. I read all the messages word by word. before passing it to his deputy. Liu Wenzhong continued to read with a stomach full of dissatisfaction. I only read a few words. He exclaimed in a low voice, "How is this possible. . . County Magistrate Zhu's bodyguard must have wanted to shirk responsibility. It's just making it up. What I found clearly was ......."

"Team Liu. There is not enough evidence. Don't talk nonsense in front of Taijun." Yan Fuquan immediately reminded him. Huang's face was full of disdain." You found it. Maybe just the tip of the iceberg. Put it all together. to unearth the whole truth."

"You. . . You ......" Liu Wenzhong was anxious and angry. Bruised tendons on his forehead. The old devil Fujita does not want to spend his time and energy watching two subordinates fall into each other's hands. Cough gently. interrupted Liu Wenzhong's defense. Uh-huh. LIU Jun. Please don't be in a hurry. I also don't think what the coward with the surname Lian said is necessarily true. Put your findings out as well. Synthesize the information in Yan Jun's hands. Let's analyze it slowly."

"Yes." Liu Wenzhong finally found the backbone of the root. Reached out and wiped the sweat from his forehead. Then respond loudly." The subordinates checked a total of 32 large and small hotels this time. More than 460 ordinary houses. Finally, in the hands of a tavern shopkeeper surnamed Yu. Found a shipment of goods that the Assassins used to disguise their identities. Total ......"

"Alright." Shinji Fujita interrupted impatiently. You start by talking about the results. Specific details. We'll talk about that later."

"Yes." Liu Wenzhong lost the opportunity to show his merits. Very reluctant to add." Yu shopkeeper confessed. At the moment, the surname is Zhang. Shandong accent. Occasionally, a few sentences of Shanxi accent will pop up. The abacus played very well. But not very good at business. for he has in his hand a certificate of good citizenship; That's why they were willing to take him in to stay in their tavern. Didn't expect ......"

"What I didn't expect. It's obviously greedy for the little money people give. This kind of guy who sees money openly. Damn it." Yan Fuquan commented viciously. Interrupted Liu Wenzhong's report for the second time.

The latter has just knocked out a large amount of "exoneration" from Yu Laosi's hand. I dare not easily agree with this conclusion. Peeked at the face of the old devil Fujita. In a low voice, he said, "Although the fourth elder Yu took in the assassins. But it can only be regarded as an unintentional mistake. After all, our security team didn't say anything beforehand. All foreign customers should come to our side to register for the record. He's a petty dealer. How can you tell the truth of the good citizen certificate from the fake?"

Yan Fuquan had already guessed that Liu Wenzhong would be engaged in the master's hands to reap the benefits. So you have to deliberately embarrass him." The regulations do have imperfections. After the assassination of the county magistrate of Kezhu. He did not report the Assassin to the security team in a timely manner. He should be sentenced to death. Serve as a police officer."

"As you say. The brothers who guard the gates; And the land protection on that street. are jointly and severally liable. Kill it all at once. The whole Black Rock Village ......"

"Yu Laosi took in the assassins. led to the murder of the county magistrate Zhu. Damn it." I saw two subordinates arguing over the details. Junji Fujita waved his hand. impatiently making a final ruling." But it is not for the sake of the heart to read his fault. Sentence him to hard labor on the other side of the Great Salt Lake. The specific length of time. The two of you will make a decision."

"Yes." Yan Fuquan glanced at Liu Wenzhong. His chin cocked triumphantly. As long as the final disposition of Yu Laosi is taken back from Liu Wenzhong's hands. The latter looted the property in hand. I had to give myself more than half of it. Otherwise. As long as you don't let go. Yu Laosi has to dig salt salt on the side of the big salt lake for the rest of his life. Liu Wenzhong's notoriety of collecting money and not doing things has also been settled. In the future, I don't want to get any benefits of unsolicited door-to-door delivery.

Here's the twists and turns. How could the old devil Junji Fujita guess. He just wanted to find out the truth about the assassination as soon as possible. so as not to continue to brew and ferment the incident. And then it will extend to a major crisis that will hurt the Empire's control of the eastern steppes." LIU Jun. You continue. What else did Yu Laosi confess. Did the Assassin have any other allies? What should be its specific identity.."

"Other. Yu Laosi didn't say anything. The Assassin had always lived alone in his tavern. No accomplices came to contact. Specific identity ......" Liu Wenzhong blinked his triangular eyes. Try to make the last chance to perform." subordinates think. This person may be a remnant of the Communist Party who wandered to the grassland. As for the dragon in the mouth of the boss. Most likely, it is to shirk responsibility. Confessions."

"Oh." Junji Fujita replied in a low voice. There was a palpable disappointment on his face." YAN Jun. What about you. What information did you bring back?"

"The subordinate got this." Yan Fuquan took out a piece of white paper that was soaked in sweat. Unfold slowly. With his deliberate movements. Two pencil figures slowly appear in the sight of the three men. Very realistic. It is not an exaggeration to describe it as lifelike. Take it outside. It can almost be collected as a sketch work of art. It's a pity that the painter's mind is not used in the right place.

"These two are ....." A hint of appreciation flashed in Junji Fujita's eyes. Ask with an open mind. Liu Wenzhong was full of defeat. Live like a dirt dog who has just lost a battle.

I vaguely saw that Ronghua and Fugui were waving to him. Yan Fuquan smiled. Continued to explain: "This tall man. . It looks a little older. It's the famous horse thief on the prairie. Irumo Dragon. The little young man who is short. He was the assassin who shot that day. As Team Vice Liu just reported. His surname is Zhang. His name is Zhang Songling. Probably from Shandong. Speaks with a slight Shanxi accent. It could also be from Shanxi. Deliberately pretending to be a visitor from Shandong. The day of the assassination of the county magistrate Zhu. The main thing is his hands. And Irito is in charge of answering halfway. Join him in killing the remaining three of the four brothers of the Lian family. and Lu Qiang, the squad leader of the security team."

"It's really the cloud dragon that is involved. Isn't he always a loner?" Junji Fujita frowned slightly. Xinkou pointed out the unreasonableness in Yan Fuquan's words.

"That's it. He is known as a lone thief. Never partner with anyone." Liu Wenzhong also seized the faint opportunity. Trying to turn the tables around.

"At this moment. At that moment." Yan Fuquan shook his head triumphantly. Smile and add." Deputy Liu, you don't know. This guy surnamed Zhang is not an ordinary person. As far as I can deduce. He is highly likely. It was ordered by the Survey and Statistics Bureau of the Military Commission of the National Government. Seeds of Trouble sent to the steppes. So Irumo Dragon just took this opportunity. He was recruited by the National Government."

The second half of the sentence. Not only did Liu Wenzhong be dumbfounded. Even the always calm old devil Fujita. Also a big surprise. Questioning words blurted out." How do you know. YAN Jun. How sure are you that he's a Kuomintang agent?"

"Very." Yan Fuquan is on his way back. You've already made the preparations. I heard Junji Fujita ask. Immediately accentuated the tone. Report Taijun. The sources of information from the subordinates are quite reliable. Other than that. The subordinates have been listening to the official news of the North China Autonomous Government. With them broadcasting. Earlier this month. There's a gang of people who claim to be the Iron Hammer Gang. Hit the level of Zhangjiakou. And the iron-blooded hoe gang. It is an organization subordinate to the Bureau of Investigation and Statistics of the Military Commission of the National Government."

"Maybe it's a coincidence." Liu Wen has a weak strong argument. The voice sounded weak to him." After all, Chengde and Chifeng are over there. I haven't heard of anyone in the military commanding force appearing."

"It's not a coincidence." Yan Fuquan shook his head and denied it. I also thought that he was a total + a bandit. But Team Liu's deputy. You've seen a total of + bandit remnants put goods worth more than twenty oceans. Don't you just throw it in the tavern and don't want it?"

"This. This ......" Liu Wenzhong had to admit in his heart. He is indeed not as qualified as Yan Fuquan for the position of security captain. I just thought about the Assassins buying and selling things and paying for them. Don't take advantage of the people. Resembles the legendary Communist + Industrial + Party. And Yan Fuquan. But from the habit of the Assassins to spend lavishly. Cleanly and thoroughly ruled out the possibility that it was a total + banditry.

"In addition. Recently, it was said on the radio. The remnants of the puppet national government were defeated. Accept an offer from a man named Jude. Change tactics. guerrilla ...... in North China"

"Shhh I didn't wait to hear Yan Fuquan finish speaking. Junji Fujita is already sweating on his forehead. If it was really Kuomintang agents who entered the steppe to recruit horse thieves to fight guerrillas. The days that followed. He's upset. With only half a squadron of Imperial soldiers and a squadron of security regiments on hand. I'm afraid that whether or not the Black Stone Village can be kept has become a question. Not to mention deep into the grasslands. Wipe out the rebels.

And the Kwantung Army headquarters over there. It is impossible to draw more people to help him at this time. To know. Area of the Mongolian steppe. Much bigger than the main island of the Empire. If every county had to send a large army of men and horses to garrison it. The empire doesn't have to continue to fight south. Light maintains law and order on the grasslands. is enough to consume most of the troops.

No way. We must not let this "tinder" form a prairie fire. It must be cleanly extinguished before it grows and grows. Come to think of it. Shinji Fujita made a decision immediately. YAN Jun. You immediately call in the security team. Do your best to capture Yunlong and the agent surnamed Zhang. I will send Ono Squadron to assist in the battle. Be sure to do so within 10 days. Bring the bodies of those two men to me."

"Yes!" Yan Fuquan saluted. But he did not leave immediately. Instead, he looked around. Hunched over and continued to report." The subordinates also spent a lot of money. From the hands of a black marketeer. Bought the next action plan of the military command agent. According to the businessman. The military commander spies once asked him about the departure date and specific route of our Heishizhai freight convoy......"

His voice grew lower and lower. By the end it was almost inaudible. But soon. The devils and puppet army of the entire Black Stone Village. were mobilized by these few words.

"Whew..."While waiting for his subordinates to assemble. The old devil Fujita stretched out his fingers. Gesture in mid-air. Risks and challenges always come with each other. He's going to take advantage of this opportunity. Dispatch all subordinates. Weave a giant net together on the steppe. All mortals who fall into the great net. are destined to be inescapable.
