Chapter 149 Xima Pond Section 1 Let it go
After Pei Jiesan finished arranging the businessman's matter, he took his own people and returned to Beiping without a sigh, his entanglement with the military commander is not over, this is a later story, we will explain it in the previous document. The difference is that after returning from Baoding, this guy gradually retreated into the background, and rarely went out to arrest the anti-Japanese elements in person.
At this time, Zhao Yukun took people to disguise himself in Hejian and other places to spy on Brigade Commander Hou, and he couldn't come back for a while, and the secret service agencies in Baoding City were seriously understaffed, and after two setbacks in Waist Mountain Town and Xiyuan Temple stronghold, the agents carefully trained by the special high-tech department were lost more than half, and the rest of the people were also assigned by the army headquarters to be responsible for the affairs of arms and materials, and the arrest of the underground party came to an end temporarily.
The captain of the gendarmerie was only able to follow Pei Jiesan's suggestion and take the money and release the people, and there were also two considerations, one is that since the Japanese army implemented the new economic policy, not only in Baoding, but also in many places in the entire North China region, there has been a confrontation between merchants and ordinary people, and the situation is very serious, which directly affects the normal ruling order of the Japanese army in the occupied areas.
The policy of the Japanese army was not only aimed at small and medium-sized businessmen, but it was to impose harsh control on all businessmen, and those who had backers in the puppet North China Autonomous Government, those who had the background of the Wang puppet regime in Nanjing, and even the huge businessmen and tycoons who were holding the thighs of devils could not sit still, and complained to their backers one after another. There has been a great deal of resistance to the NEP from within the government.
Therefore, Okamura Ninji is for the relative stability of this part of North China. Economic policy had to be adjusted. The suppression of businessmen was also relatively mild, and in this context, the Baoding gendarmerie also received an internal notice that all the captured businessmen who had no evidence of collaborating with the enemy should be released as soon as possible.
Second, the captain of the gendarmerie in Baoding knows that there is no hope for promotion, and he is almost fifty years old. is just a lieutenant, which is equivalent to standing aside in the army, so he has the idea of retiring, wanting to retire early and return to his hometown to retire.
Fifty gold bars were enough for him to go back to his hometown to buy a large amount of fertile land, and he could become a landlord comfortably, and his children and grandchildren could enjoy it inexhaustibly.
If people are greedy, in addition to madness, there is also a different expression from ordinary people. That's an almost idiotic obsession! This gendarmerie captain is the king of the eight who eats the scales, so he wants the fifty gold bars! This dedication also happens to be his shortcoming!
Joking. A middle- and lower-ranking officer from a small Japanese farmer's family, have you ever seen a gold bar? Do you know how many taels of gold bars are in your hand?
It's purely the imagination in my mind to get some gold bars from China to go back, this is more effective than anything else, I really put the gold bars in front of him, this guy is shining with gold, he can't close his mouth!
Mr. Zhu and a few good friends worked overnight Zhang Luo, finally before sunrise, the fifty big yellow croaker to get together, the time is short, the task is tight, the gold bar is still a little damp, before sending it, it was also placed on the charcoal basin across the tin foil for half an hour.
Soak it in warm water for a quarter of an hour, put it on the partition and fan it hard, and then it's officially done!
This gold bar is made! Mr. Zhu took five small yellow croakers from home, and asked the goldsmith secretly invited to melt them, and then poured a thin layer on the lead ingots, and then cleaned, polished, powdered gold, and wrapped in tin foil to bake.
With this batch of gold bars that are definitely A goods, Mr. Zhu went to the gendarmerie in the morning, and when he put the heavy burden on the table of the gendarmerie captain and untied the baggage, the captain couldn't believe his eyes! He's never seen gold bars like when he's grown up! If it weren't for the presence of outsiders, it would have been able to pounce on it!
But the old devil is the old devil, the old traitor and cunning, he was afraid that the Chinese would deceive him, he had already kept a hand, and immediately covered the wrapper, let Mr. Zhu sit there and wait for a while, called the guards outside the door to come in, whispered something, and the guards stood up and saluted and ran out!
After a while, the footsteps outside the door sounded, and the guards came back with two people, as soon as the two entered the door, they took off their hats and bent down to salute the captain of the gendarmerie, and when they saw Mr. Zhu on the side, they also nodded and saluted!
The captain of the devil pulled open the wrapper covering the pile of gold bars, and ordered someone to check the authenticity and fineness of the gold bars in stiff Chinese.
It turned out that the captain of this devil called the treasurer of the money bank controlled by the Japanese army in the city, and he was an old man in the gold village in the past.
There are a lot of professional tools, including balance weights, crucibles, mortar furnaces, bottles and cans, and droppers.
Weighing, 100% heavy enough, weighing the specific gravity, completely consistent, test solubility, no problem, sulfuric acid test is no problem.
Finally, the treasurer inspector took out one of the fifty gold bars at random, sawed it open and saw the incision, and the yellow and clear color was very good. In addition, the gold bar is marked with the mark of the Central Bank of the Republic of China, and there is no problem with this.
The captain of the gendarmerie had been watching the two inspectors busy with their work, and when the last test was done, the inspector said to the captain of the gendarmerie that there was no problem with this batch of gold bars, and turned to leave, and the bloodshot eyes of the old treasurer before leaving the door flashed a sly gaze, and a subtle smile hung on the corner of his mouth.
Mr. Zhu's back was drenched in sweat! He saw the smile of the old treasurer before going out, and because he saw it, he put his heart in his stomach!
It was the old treasurer and his apprentice who had worked all night and didn't close their eyes, and it was the old treasurer and his apprentice who made these gold bars! Experts who can test the authenticity are often the highest counterfeiters! This is the same as the tomb robber who can become an expert in archaeology!
After the founding of the People's Republic of China, when the cultural relics protection unit was first established, many archaeological team members were tomb robbers before liberation, and many of them were cultural relics reselling and dealers.
If you want to take the old treasurer to deal with real and fake gold and silver all his life, almost all the means of counterfeiting have been seen, and the fake gold bars he personally made, few people can see through them, not to mention that he can also detect them when he does it, as for the sawn gold bar, it was also marked in advance, and the sawn part is exactly the separation of the two sections of lead bars.
What if the gendarmerie captain went to smoke one himself? Same result! Because each gold bar is a two- or three-section lead bar, and each gold bar has a mark on it that only the old treasurer can understand, you can draw any one and saw it, and the result will be the same!
As for weighing, there is a magnet the size of a mung bean under the weighing pan of the scale, and you can't see it if you don't turn the weighing pan over.
It is better to measure the specific gravity, the row of beakers that are opened, the cup that weighs the gold bar and discharges the liquid, but it is not necessarily the one that makes the standard beaker, how to take it is the inspector's technique.
The mystery of this has become greater, starting from the use of gold and silver as the monetary standard, and the beginning of the business of buying and selling gold and silver, this counterfeiting has become a derivative business and knowledge.
The wisdom of the Chinese, how can the little devil understand it thoroughly! At the moment, the captain of the gendarmerie is smiling! I wrote a release warrant to Mr. Zhu next to the pile of gold bars, and asked him to pick up someone!
See! Rich can really be a little devil pushing the grind! I thought I would have to give a salute to the commander of the army and the chief of police to help say good things, but as soon as the gold bar arrived, the lord would do it himself by the captain of the gendarmerie! Sign the order and order the release right away!
What a joy to be had! Mr. Zhu didn't expect that this matter that had been entangled for so long would come to light in less than an hour, and the devil was conclusive that he wanted to punish these people as anti-Japanese elements, either to death or to be sent to the mine to die, and now the release order is in his hand, no matter how he looks at it, it feels like a dream!
Afraid that the devil would change his hexagram, Mr. Zhu trotted to the door of the gendarmerie and instructed the coachman to return to the Chamber of Commerce as quickly as possible, bring back the news of the devil's release, and let someone come to help!
He himself returned and couldn't sit still, so he took the release order and went to the prison in the backyard, of course, this big ghost is easy to fool, the little ghost is so difficult, the military ticket and the ocean are with him, and there are cigarettes or something, and the devils and traitors who are guarding the cell are divided some, and there is a warrant from the captain of the gendarmerie, and these people have benefited again, and they are no longer difficult for these prisoners.
In fact, the family members of these businessmen, who were afraid that their relatives would suffer in it, did not give less money to this, so in addition to having no freedom, these merchant prisoners were not abused much in the prison, and when they were first arrested, they survived the torture.
As soon as they saw Mr. Zhu enter the cell with a smile on his face, these people understood that they had finally survived! It's time to see the light of day again! The haze for many days of grievances was released at once, some cried, some laughed, some beat their chests, some danced, anyway, these people were like crazy all at once!
The Chinese guard, who received the benefits and secretly helped, reminded Mr. Zhu that the night is long and the dreams are many, it is best to leave this place early, the devil's mind is sometimes good and sometimes bad, don't change the hexagram again immediately, hurry up!
