This courtyard was originally an ordinary Han people's courtyard, as early as the invasion of the Eight-Nation Alliance, there were several people killed in the family, and then the capital experienced several wars, although the war was not long, but it also made the people rush to be afraid. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

The family was a little worried about their safety, so they fled the capital with their family and never returned.

It stands to reason that after the establishment of the Chinese Empire, the capital has become much more stable.

At this time, many people who had fled the capital began to gradually return to their homes, and even some people who did not intend to continue to settle here would return to dispose of their houses.

After all, this is the capital, even if the capital is moved to Zhongjing in the future, there is a shortage of houses here, and it is no problem to sell a courtyard like this for one or two hundred taels of silver.

Ordinary people will not take the two hundred taels of silver seriously.

But the family has never returned to the capital, and even this courtyard has not been dealt with.

However, there are people living in the yard, and it is said that they are relatives of the original owner of the yard, and they want to come here to develop, and by the way, they can be regarded as helping the original owner to look at the house, so as not to live here for a long time and lose popularity.

At this time, two men are sitting opposite each other in the room, and a bottle of sake unique to Japan is placed on the table, as well as a few side dishes.

The dim oil lamp, emitting a faint light, dispelled the shadows of the night.

"Your Excellency Mitsui, that Lu San didn't take any action today, our eyes didn't see him leave the house, and he didn't even listen to the drama that he usually couldn't move, I doubt he was going to ......" Hongji didn't approve of this method, but now he didn't have any reaction after seeing Lu San take the money, and he subconsciously thought that Lu San was preparing to run away.

In fact, from the bottom of his heart, he still prefers to see Lu San run away, at least this can prove that his opinion is correct.

"No, Hongjijun, your heart is already in turmoil, if you take the money and act immediately, then Lu San will definitely not do so much. There are some things that can only be done at night. Mitsui said with some disappointment as he took a sip of the sake in his glass.

Before that, he was indeed very optimistic about Hongji, and even faintly asked him to take over the intelligence affairs of the Chinese Empire, but now, after experiencing this incident, Hongji always kept hinting in his ear that what they were doing was wrong.

Mitsui has clearly told Hongji that he doesn't need to meddle in this matter, and Mitsui is responsible for everything, but Hongji has lost himself, like a ship lost in the sea.

Could it be that Mitsui had to tell him directly that they didn't plan to get the information of the army's defense map at all? Could it be that Mitsui was going to tell him that all this they had done was just a smoke bomb?

Speaking of which, I'm afraid Hongji won't believe it, let alone Hongji, even Mitsui himself can't believe it when he hears this plan.

Didn't Mitsui never object?

Against.

But now Mitsui is a big supporter of this plan, why? For the sake of the family, but also for the benefit of several other families in Japan.

It can be said that this is the common interest of several upper-class families in Japan, and all the expenses of this plan, several families will do their best to support them, besides, this amount of money is simply a drizzle for these consortium families, and it is not enough to even scratch an itch.

But the benefits they can obtain are far from what they can imagine.

Some people may say, since these families are so rich, why did Japan borrow from foreigners during the First Sino-Japanese War? Wouldn't it be okay to just find these families?

Well, in fact, these consortia are to promote Japan's domestic economic development, and if all of them are used for war, then Japan's development will be suspended, which Emperor Meiji does not want to see, so Japan can only borrow money from foreign powers, and then pay off the loans with the reparations of the Qing Empire, and continue to develop the rest of itself.

In fact, Ma Sanru's first reaction after knowing the news was correct, the Japanese who bought the news were indeed drunkards who didn't mean to drink, and they didn't care whether they could really get this 'important' information.

What they want to see is that after spending a lot of money, they hope to smash those intelligence departments of the Chinese Empire into a stun, so that they can't figure out what their purpose is, so that the Japanese can fish in troubled waters.

"Mitsui-kun, I just don't understand why we're doing this." Hongji was still unwilling.

"Baga, I've already said it, you don't need to meddle in this matter, I will be fully responsible, if you have this attitude again, I can only transfer you back to China." Mitsui poured a full glass of sake directly on Hongji's face and said angrily.

What if you're old? Lao Tzu is the second of Mitsui, the next generation of foreign affairs successors cultivated by the Mitsui family, no matter how good you are Hongji, in the end you are just a dog of the Mitsui family, what qualifications does the dog have to bark in front of the owner?

"Hey! Your Excellency Mitsui, I won't be asking about this matter, please rest assured! Hongji shuddered violently and hurriedly apologized.

If he is transferred back to China like this, then Hongji can even imagine how miserable his future life will be, and the Mitsui Foundation will definitely not let himself live a good life.

On the one hand, there is a conscience, and on the other hand, he is his own future, Hongji finally chose the latter, anyway, Mitsui no longer let himself interfere in this matter, no matter what he does in the end? What does it have to do with yourself?

"How's the preparation of what I asked you to prepare?" Mitsui asked angrily, although Hongji had already apologized, but it made Mitsui feel that Hongji didn't seem to be willing to accept his control, this feeling was very bad, he didn't need this kind of disobedient dog.

Mitsui already had an idea, and when this matter passed, he would transfer Hongji back to his country, and he would never allow a disobedient dog to bark here.

"Your Excellency Mitsui, this is a bit difficult, the inspection of the people of China is too strict, and they are also very familiar with guns, today during the day, our people disassembled the weapons and transported them in batches, and they were finally discovered." This time, it was not that Hongji deliberately grinded foreign workers, but that the inspection at the city gate was too strict, and the way of smuggling was simply impossible.

And what are those guards at the gates of the city who are perverted? I guess he didn't even believe it when he said it, and he could even find the hidden firing pin, your sister, how big is a firing pin? And it's hidden in a flat pole.

Can't even bring in a firing pin, how do you ask him to bring the barrel? With bullets?

"In a special way, tomorrow, before it gets dark tomorrow, the weapons must be transported to the city." Mitsui said a little frantically, as if he was still a little dissatisfied: "No matter what the price is." ”

"Hey, it looks like we're going to have to use shadows," Hongji agreed.

The Chinese Empire's control of weapons was too strict, how could the Japanese blatantly bring their rifles into the city with their backs like the former Qing Dynasty, and those soldiers defending the city did not even dare to let go of a fart.

Looking at the present, not to mention the Japanese, it is not easy for other powers to bring weapons into the capital.

As for the original Japanese embassy area, please, it has long been taken back by the Chinese Empire, and the troops inside have also been forcibly confiscated from their weapons and then driven out of the country.

The Chinese Empire did not exterminate all the foreigners, but still retained their embassy quarters, kept their troops, and did not even confiscate their rifles.

However, the damned Chinese Empire confiscated the ammunition of the armies of those great powers, and said that you can just scare the people with guns, there is no need to use bullets, if there is really turmoil, the Royal Army will guarantee your safety.

On the one hand, the black muzzle of the machine gun rifle was aimed, and on the other hand, it was a good persuasion, no matter how awesome the powers were, they didn't dare to be awesome at this time, and they could only obediently hand in the bullets one by one.

Although they also hid some of them, no one dared to take them out, and if the Chinese Empire found out, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Therefore, it is not realistic to ask those foreigners to borrow guns, and no one dares to lend them them.

Everyone knows what kind of virtue the Japanese are, and what good things can they do with guns? If the Chinese Empire drove them out on this ground, would it be difficult for them to find the Japanese to reason?

Cut off the internal channels, the Japanese can only use the shadows they had buried in the early years, fortunately the number of weapons needed is not much, only ten rifles, if there are more, even if all those shadows come out to help, they may not be able to transport them.

'Squeak......'

The wooden door was pushed open from the outside, Mitsui raised his head suspiciously, he remembered that there seemed to be no one outside, could it be that someone came back unruly? Or is there any important information? But why haven't you heard anything before?

Mitsui couldn't help but put his right hand under the table, until he touched the pistol, and his heart was a little more stable.

"I advise you to honestly raise your hands, otherwise, I will promise to make you regret it." The muzzle of the black hole pointed at Mitsui and said coldly.

"Who are you? Why would you break into my home in the middle of the night? Is there no law in your eyes? Mitsui asked in his proficient Chinese, and a cold sweat broke out behind him, obviously, this was his delay.

"The law, it also depends on who it is against? Japanese friends, do you think that the laws of our country will protect people like you who are bent on doing evil? Feng Jin said, but then said something that made Mitsui even more desperate: "What? Do you still want those ten little devils in the yard next door to save you? (To be continued.) )
