With the commercial port and wharf built in the early years, Runzhou was extremely prosperous in commerce and trade, and the railway passing through the city made Runzhou an important economic town. There are more people doing business here, and the city is naturally much more lively than other places.

It's just that some time ago, the Japanese army captured Runzhou City and launched a killing campaign in Runzhou, creating a number of appalling burning incidents. Even if the Japanese army reined in in the later period, Runzhou City at this moment looks like it is no longer the lively scene of the past.

Fukuyama Shinbu, who was ordered to take charge of Runzhou City, knew very well that if he wanted to control the place, blind killing would not solve the problem. In addition, the Japanese army took over Runzhou City, naturally hoping to use it for its use, if everyone is killed, who will do anything in the future?

bribed a group of officials and gentry to propagate the so-called '*****' slogan on behalf of the Japanese army, and the little devils were more restrained in dealing with the people than when they first attacked the city. As a result, the number of merchants who came and went here gradually increased.

It is a pity that since the Japanese army occupied Runzhou City and controlled the port and wharf of Runzhou, many foreign businessmen who did business here in the early years have also withdrawn their capital and left. In a short period of time, presumably those foreign merchants will not dare to set foot in this kind of place again.

For those foreign businessmen, making money is not the first priority, but saving their lives is the most important. At present, the Japanese army and the Nationalist government are still at war, and the place of Runzhou is not peaceful. If you are not careful, you may lose your life here.

What is the use of earning such money?

After having breakfast in the mountains, Hu Biao took Zhao Xian and Huang Erzhuan to change into the clothes of the common people and enter Runzhou City in a grand manner. As an important commercial town in Sioux Province, there are not a few traders who come and go every day.

In addition, the little devil also needs to raise materials, and it takes time and effort to transport it from the country alone, but how many resources can the little devil provide in a big fart place? For the little devils who start wars, a lot of war resources are obtained through plunder.

The three eastern provinces that were invaded in the early years have now become the most important war supply rear area for the Japanese army. There are also many mines in the arsenals built in the three eastern provinces, all of which are working as accomplices to the Japanese invasion, including the food resources of the three eastern provinces.

Walking on the slightly empty street, Hu Biao said with a little puzzlement: "This street doesn't seem to be very lively!" ”

"I've been here a few times before, when there were a lot more pedestrians on the street than there are now. It seems that the evil that the little devil has created here still frightened many people. In the short term, I am afraid that this place will continue to be deserted. ”

Zhao Xian, who accompanied Hu Biao into the city, had also been to Runzhou City several times earlier. Of course, Zhao Xian at that time was also out of tolerance, and walked around the provincial capital by the way. At this time, Runzhou, no matter how you say it, is also the capital of Su Province!

As for Nanjing, which is suffering from war at the moment, it is the political center of the Republic of China, and Runzhou is somewhat of an economic center. It's a pity that after a military disaster, the once prosperous Runzhou City is no longer the prosperous scene of the past.

Walking around the city first, Hu Biao found that although there were Japanese patrols on the streets, on the whole, these little devils were quite honest and would not easily provoke passers-by. Of course, when a patrol comes, passers-by must also take shelter from the side.

If you really want to ram these little devils, you will wait for the fate of the attacker, who will either be shot on the spot or put in prison for interrogation. When dealing with those who do not obey the control, the little devil will never be merciful.

According to the plan discussed before, the three of them walked around the city, and even after meeting Xu Sandao and others, who also entered the city, they went to the contact point set up by the military commander in Runzhou. As the capital of the Soviet Union, the military commanders naturally attached great importance to it.

Looking at the shop with medicine flags from afar, Zhao Xian, who was about to walk over, suddenly heard Hu Biao say: "Xianzi, find a teahouse to rest first." This pass is down, and the master's feet are almost wasted! ”

"Okay, young master, here! There happens to be a teahouse over there, and it looks pretty good. ”

"Well, your kid's eyesight is good! When this transaction is done, I will go back and tell my father to increase your salary! ”

"Thank you, young master!"

Zhao Xian, who was originally walking in front, suddenly heard Hu Biao speak, and when he played the battle sign language of 'there is a situation' in his hand. Zhao Xian's heart tightened, and his eyes also planned to observe the situation around the pharmacy, but he was forbidden by Hu Biao's look.

The three of them talked as they walked, grinning and walking into a teahouse not far from the pharmacy. When he went upstairs, Zhao Xian called a buddy, ordered a pot of snacks, and was ready to ask.

As a result, when he was about to open his mouth, Hu Biao, who took a sip of tea, said with joy on his face: "Well, this tea is good, authentic Longjing tea!" It is said that Runzhou is good, and I only know when I come, this time we must play for two more days. ”

As he said these words, Hu Biao dipped his fingers in the tea and quickly wrote the word 'have ears' on the table. After Zhao Xian saw it clearly, Hu Biao stroked his hand and wiped the two words clean. With the help of drinking tea, Zhao Xian also looked at the situation of the teahouse.

Soon found that there were two groups of people drinking tea in the window seat of the tea house, which was not a serious way at first glance. Although these people were drinking tea, their eyes were more looking downstairs. To be exact, it should be the pharmacy they are going to.

Zhao Xian, who was shocked into a cold sweat in his heart, soon heard Hu Biao say again: "Xianzi, I heard that you went to the city with my father earlier and visited Yichun Tower. Tell me, is the girl in that building pretty? How much does it cost? ”

At this moment, Hu Biao is playing a gentleman who is leaving home for the first time to do business. Huang Erzhuan acts as a bodyguard and thug, as long as he has a straight face. As for Zhao Xian's words, he played the role of the master's comprador.

When he said these words, Hu Biao's voice was not lowered, and the other people who were drinking tea also listened to it. Looking at Hu Biao's anxious and expectant look, many tea drinkers couldn't help shaking their heads and snickering.

Even some decent diners couldn't help but smile bitterly: "I really don't know if it's the descendant of that family, it's too casual!" ”

Only Zhao Xian, who was sitting opposite Hu Biao, knew that Hu Biao was using sign language to make code signals to him, so he didn't want to be so nervous. When you are nervous, it is easy to see the flaws. When the time comes, it is very likely to be targeted by someone with a heart.

Perhaps it was Hu Biao's composure and perfect disguise as a rich man, Zhao Xian, who was originally nervous, quickly integrated into his disguised role and became a dog who knows how to flatter people.

When the tea was finished and the snacks were wiped out, Hu Biao pretended to be a little anxious and said, "Let's go!" Drink flower wine, this tea is still not as good as flower wine. Looking at the two of you, drinking tea is too boring, and it is most comfortable to have a girl to serve you! ”

Zhao Xian, who acted as a dog's leg, also said in a timely manner: "Young master, it's still daylight, and Yichun Lou doesn't do business during the day." ”

"What? Don't do business during the day? Are they lazier than the young master? ”

"Master, let's wait until the evening! Let's come to the city to do something, it doesn't matter if we go home two days late, delay the things that the master explains, next time the young master wants to come out, I'm afraid the master won't agree! Let's do things first, and then we'll go in the evening, how about it? ”

Originally, the business of the tea house in the morning was not very good, and there were not many customers who came here to drink tea. But no one expected to see such a lively show. The loser is not new to go to the Qinglou without doing business.

In the eyes of many tea drinkers, Hu Biao is a stupid son of a landlord who is not deeply involved in the world and is pampered. Although Zhao Xian looks a little dog-legged, he is also a person who knows the times and knows how to persuade the stupid son of the landlord's family.

asked the guy to pack some snacks, Hu Biao left the teahouse with an unhappy face, and Zhao Xian, who was following him, still tried his best to please him. Only Huang Erzhuo, who acted as a bodyguard thug, kept a straight face from beginning to end, and his eyes swept around from time to time to ensure safety.

When leaving the teahouse, Hu Biao turned around while he was talking, and saw that two guys were following from the two groups of people who had been drinking tea in the teahouse. It seems that there are still people who are suspicious of them.

Thinking of Hu Biao here, he pretended to be angry and pulled Zhao Xian into his arms and said, "Someone is following behind, wait and cheer up." Go to the shop you said first, and then find a way to get rid of or kill these two guys. ”

"Understood!"

"Bolt, don't be nervous, those two guys, at first glance, they are plainclothes recruited by little devils. Perhaps, they are trying to fight the autumn breeze and find us trouble. After all, we did look like dirt buns that had just entered the city. ”

knows that most of the plainclothes who have been recruited by the little devils these years are not good birds. It's rare to meet a 'stupid son of a landlord' like Hu Biao, who doesn't take the opportunity to extort a sum of money, how can they deal with the grievances suffered by the little devils?

After listening to Hu Biao's analysis, Zhao Xian and Huang Erzhuan were a little relieved. When leaving the street, Hu Biao could also see that there were people in civilian clothes at the streets and alleys near the pharmacy, looking at strangers coming and going on the street from time to time.

These young people, dressed in the costumes of the common people, look no different from pedestrians. But more often than not, they all get together in twos and threes. In the shops next to him, Hu Biao can still see that there are two shops that are particularly deserted.

If it is as expected, these two exceptionally deserted shops should hide the spy personnel of the special high class. Previously, if they did enter the pharmacy, they would not have been able to walk out of this street. It seems that this point of contact should be exposed!
