Spy Wars: I can get rewards by being a bully!

Chapter 885 Wang Hualong is also a colleague

"Is this Li Shengrong from Yuancheng?"

"He was originally from Qin Province. It's said he once had quite a lot of money. He was a second-generation rich kid. He smoked opium, lent money at high interest, bullied men and women, and did all kinds of evil. Later, the Red Zone troops came to Qin Province. The Li family was accused of being a local tyrant. His father wanted to be shot. I don't know how he escaped. Relying on his ruthless and brave skills, he established a foothold in Yuancheng. When the Japanese came, he decisively surrendered. At that time, the military police were short of manpower, so they made him the captain of the joint defense. He worked hard and arrested people everywhere, but mostly for extortion."

These words were all heard from Ma Mingyuan.

Ma Mingyuan now tells everything he knows. As for what Director Niu wants to do by asking these questions, Ma Mingyuan doesn't care at all and doesn't even have the curiosity.

Ma Mingyuan is also a wonderful person. He even has a ledger. This ledger does not record the financial transactions, but the actions of several major figures in Yuancheng over the years.

This made Director Niu like him even more. My goodness, if Ma Mingyuan didn't do business, he would also be a good spy!

After learning about Li Shengrong's situation, Lin Ze asked Niu Saner to drive back to the Salt Merchants Association and not to look for Ma Mingyuan first.

That night, Lin Ze went out in disguise.

Because it was wartime, the curfew was very strict at night and the devils were patrolling the city from time to time.

But Lin Ze disguised himself as Hanatani Masaru again, because he had been very busy recently and had dealt with many Japanese soldiers in the city, so the Japanese all knew Hanatani Masaru and he had a smooth journey.

When he arrived at a house north of Guanwang Temple, Lin Ze did not disturb the gatekeeper, but chose to climb over the wall.

This house has three courtyards, but each courtyard has two cross-courtyards in the east and west, which can be considered luxurious.

I heard that this was not Li Shengrong's property, but something he extorted from a small salt merchant. He not only occupied the man's house, but also his wife and daughter. But when he got tired of them, he sold them to a sailor.

Therefore, among the group of scoundrels and bad guys, Li Shengrong is also one of the best.

Although it was late, Li Shengrong had not yet rested.

In order to show off, he personally led his men to patrol the city during the day, especially circling around the Salt Merchants Association, hoping that the Japanese officials who occasionally went out would see him.

Because of this job, he didn't even have time to satisfy his craving for cigarettes. In the afternoon, he couldn't bear it anymore, so he swallowed a ready-made cigarette bubble and asked someone to use a big pipe shell to make a bowl of tea for him to drink.

When he got home, he couldn't resist the urge to smoke anymore. He didn't even eat and just fell on the smoking couch to satisfy his craving.

Because Yuancheng is close to the Yellow River ferry, it is not only a distribution center for salt and cotton, but also a center for underground tobacco trading.

There are many kinds of opium in the northwest. Once, a foreign reporter went to Qin Province. When he left the provincial capital, he looked out from both sides of the official road. Everywhere he looked, he saw opium, which was extremely shocking.

However, Li Shengrong did not draw Qin soil, nor did he draw hot soil. He had plenty of silver, so if he wanted to draw, he would draw the best horseshoe soil from southern Yunnan.

Just when he was enjoying himself, the door opened. Li Shengrong was a little angry. He had clearly told the servants not to disturb him, so who was so ignorant?

Could it be that the new concubine I took in a few days ago couldn't stand the loneliness because I hadn't had time to take care of her these days?

Holding back his anger, he asked, "Who?"

Lin Ze coughed, and his voice became identical to Hua Guzheng's. "Mr. Li? Open the door quickly. I have something important to discuss with you."

When Li Shengrong heard this, he was shocked and thought, isn’t this Hua Gu Taijun!

How did he come to his own house?

He immediately panicked, tidied up his smoking couch, straightened his clothes, and ran barefoot to open the door.

One of them bowed quickly to the ground and said, "Madam, I didn't know you were coming. I'm sorry for not welcoming you in person. I'm sorry for not welcoming you in person."

Li Shengrong knew that Hua Gu came from Tokyo. Wow, he is an imperial envoy!

If I curry favor with him, he will reward me with any job. Wouldn't that be a small blessing?

I heard that they have set up a Jinnan Maintenance Association, and that Mr. Lin is temporarily serving as the chairman. But Mr. Lin will leave eventually, so who will be the chairman in the future?

Li Shengrong has his eyes on this position!

"Hua Gu Zheng" walked into the house with his hands behind his back. He smelled the scent of opium paste and frowned, saying, "Baka! You're so busy these days, and you still have time to smoke this stuff!"

Li Shengrong smiled, his eyes rolling around. "Madam, I'm just checking to see which one has the best goods. Then we can get a few shares in the opium trade in this distant city, and we can make tens of thousands of dollars a year! I'm doing this to honor you!"

"Hanagu Zheng" waved his hand and said, "How's the matter I asked you to investigate going?"

Li Shengrong was stunned. He didn't know what the matter was and didn't dare to ask directly.

"You're so busy, yet you still come to see me at night? I'm so damned! I should have reported this to you earlier. I'm sure you're asking about Wang Hualong, right? I've felt there's something fishy about him for a long time! I've already sent someone to keep an eye on him. As soon as we have evidence, we'll arrest him immediately."

"What's wrong with him?"

"He's probably a spy from the Military Control Commission!"

When Lin Ze heard this, he was surprised. This was an unexpected gain.

Wang Hualong looks big and strong, is he also in the same industry?!

"How do you know that?"

"To be honest, it was by chance that I saw Wang Hualong go to a flower shop. Later, I asked someone to investigate, and it turned out that Wang Hualong was not involved in the flower shop business. What was he doing there? Then I sent people to keep an eye on him. It would have been fine if I hadn't kept an eye on him, but once I did, I got a lot of results. There was something wrong with this flower shop! Think about it, local flower shops hire local people. They work when they are busy and go home to farm when they are free. Think about it, cotton can't be harvested all year round, so we can't keep so many workers for nothing, right?

But this flower shop is different. When the war broke out, other flower shops sent their employees home, but the number of customers at the Yihe Flower Shop on South Street didn't decrease, in fact, it increased by several. Don't you think this is the biggest suspicious point?"

When Lin Ze heard this, he knew that what Li Shengrong said was probably true.

The colleagues from southern Shanxi did not work efficiently, and a small joint defense captain actually discovered the flaw!

"Okay, what about the other things I told you to do?"

Li Shengrong was confused and wondered what was wrong with Lady Huagu. Hadn't she just asked some questions?

And how did he get to the backyard? Normally, when a high-ranking Japanese official arrived, the servants should have informed him.

But the living Huagu was right in front of him, and he didn't dare not say it, so he had to bite the bullet and tell him everything he had done that day.

"Hanatani Zheng" smiled, walked forward, and with two clicks, he removed the rings from his arms, then took off the ring from his chin and tied his hands behind his back.

He took out a few silver needles and started performing a set of Purgatory Needle Technique.

[Ding! Host torture detected. Reward: Modern Salt Production Technology]

Lin Ze was overjoyed when he saw it. Finally, it wasn't gold bars or anything like that.

So keep up the good work.

[Ding! Host torture detected. Reward: 10 modern salt production lines. Shipment has been entrusted to the English Trading Company.]

Li Shengrong was shaking with pain all over his body, covered in cold sweat, and he didn't even have the strength to beg for mercy.

Even if he had the strength, he couldn't speak because his jaw was dislocated!
