As soon as Lu Shunzhang left, Shen Jiemin immediately followed him out. Only Xiao Zhanyuan and Hirata Nagayama were left in the conference room.
At this time, Yamamoto asked the accompanying personnel to go out to guard, and then said: "You two, before I came to Shenyang, General Kaneda told me in private that he would try his best to cooperate with you.
However, this matter must not become a big deal, let alone alarm the cabinet and the military, so we must give an explanation to Manchukuo and make them speechless."
Since Yamamoto was sent here, he also knew the inside story of the matter, so he simply made the topic clear.
After hearing Yamamoto's words, Xiao Zhanyuan breathed a sigh of relief and immediately expressed his position: "Colonel Yamamoto, we already have countermeasures, which will definitely make Lu Shunzhang and others speechless."
After looking at Xiao Zhanyuan, Shan Wenduo said calmly: "What are Director Xiao's plans?"
Xiao Zhanyuan said calmly: "Captain Hirata and I have decided to hand over half of the funerary objects to Lu Shunzhang and others, so that even if they still have doubts, they will be speechless.
Moreover, we have completely blamed this matter on the Anti-League, and until we find a group of bandits near Shenyang and wipe them out, no one will be able to say anything."
After listening to Xiao Zhanyuan's words, Shan Wendu nodded. After all, the senior officials of the Kwantung Army headquarters just wanted a reasonable excuse to make the puppet Manchukuo more peaceful.
On the side, Hirata Nagayama immediately agreed: "Yes, Director Xiao is right. As long as the matter is pushed to the Anti-League and some scapegoats are found, Lu Shunzhang and others will definitely be speechless."
Xiao Zhanyuan smiled, and then continued: "Captain Pingtian, in order to make things more complete, we can also hand over this batch of things to the scapegoats, so that we can publicly find the things in front of Lu Shunzhang and others. It’s more real.”
Hirata Yongshan said calmly: "Yes, this is indeed more real. Director Xiao is really amazing. He came up with a perfect solution so quickly."
Xiao Zhanyuan quickly said modestly: "Captain Pingtian thanks you for the award, I..."
"Okay, Director Xiao, you don't have to be modest. After all, I know your mind very well. If you hadn't come up with this excuse just now, I really don't know how to explain it. If the delay is longer, Lu Shunzhang, this The old thing will definitely doubt us even more."
Before Xiao Zhanyuan could finish speaking, Hirata Yongshan stopped him. After all, in the eyes of this little devil, Xiao Zhanyuan did have some brains, otherwise he would not be reused.
After listening to Hirata Yongshan's words, Xiao Zhanyuan did not remain modest, and then said: "Captain Hirata, I will arrange things well. When the time comes, I will need the cooperation of the Japanese army."
Hirata Yongshan nodded and asked very calmly: "You said you were looking for some scapegoats, who would you look for?"
Xiao Zhanyuan was very aware of the situation around Shenyang, and behind the Japanese's back, he had private contacts with many bandits, so he said: "In the Qipan Mountain near Shenyang, there is a group of about three hundred people. They are from this area." A relatively famous bandit.
Their leader, Qian Yibiao, is also a famous gangster in the Northeast, and he often robs homes and houses, so they can be used as scapegoats."
As for Qian Yibiao on the chessboard mountain, Hirata Yongshan has also heard about him and knows that this man is a relatively famous bandit around Shenyang. However, this guy does not provoke the Japanese very much, and the chessboard is not small, and the Japanese troops in the Northeast are also strong. Not much, so he didn't annihilate him, so he frowned and said: "Qian Yibiao is quite suitable and very famous. When the time comes, as long as he is said to be connected with the Anti-Japanese Alliance, no one can say anything.
But this bandit is very cunning, and Qipan Mountain is huge. How do we find his whereabouts, and how do we give him the things and let him be the scapegoat?"
Xiao Zhanyuan said confidently: "Captain Hirata, don't worry, I have my own way to handle this matter, and I will definitely be able to handle it. When everything is arranged, I will ask the Japanese army to take action to wipe out this group of bandits."
Hirata Yongshan said nonchalantly: "There is no problem. As long as we find his whereabouts, it will be very easy to eliminate them."
In Hirata Nagayama's heart, he looked down upon these bandits at all. If the Japanese had not been short of troops, they would have started to eliminate them long ago.
Seeing that Hirata Nagayama agreed and Yamabunta did not object, Xiao Zhanyuan continued: "Captain Hirata, when the time comes for the suppression, you must issue an order not to leave anyone alive. This way, with physical evidence, the bandits will not be able to tell what happened.
There is a reasonable explanation.”
Hirata Nagayama chuckled and said: "This is no problem. On the contrary, these bandits are wasting food while they are alive. The Imperial Japanese Army did a good deed and sent them back to the west."
The Japanese army was inherently cruel and easy to kill, and frequently killed prisoners, so the trivial matter of leaving no one alive was not a problem at all.
At this time, Yamamoto spoke up and warned: "Both of you, be careful when you hand over half of your things to these bandits. It's best to give them something of low value."
Hirata Nagayama understood what Yamamoto meant and was worried about an accident, so he immediately said: "Don't worry Yamamoto-kun, we will do a good job in this matter, and when you leave, you can take away a few things from the things left behind.
In this way, I will leave the rest to General Kaneda, so I can’t let your trip go in vain.”
Yamamoto nodded with satisfaction, without any intention of refusing. After all, he also likes antiques, not to mention the funerary objects in the imperial tombs are priceless things that anyone would like.
It was precisely because he knew there were benefits that Yamamoto Benta participated in and helped Xiao Zhanyuan and Hirata Nagayama, so he quickly said: "Then I'm not polite, but I want to remind you that this matter must be resolved as soon as possible.
Delay, after all, Changchun is still watching. The longer the delay, the harder it will be to solve the matter.
Moreover, there are several generals in the Kwantung Army headquarters who also know about this matter, so General Kaneda also has to worry about other people's attitudes."
As soon as Yamamoto finished speaking, Hirata Nagayama felt the pressure, so he immediately said: "Don't worry, Yamamoto-kun, this matter will be resolved soon."
Xiao Zhanyuan also immediately expressed his position: "Don't worry, Colonel Yamamoto, I will make arrangements overnight and try to have things arranged within three days."
Yamamoto nodded, and they discussed for a while before taking action separately.
After leaving the Shenyang Municipal Government, Xiao Zhanyuan immediately found an intermediary to contact Qian Yibiao. As a local snake in Shenyang, he quickly found an intermediary.
These middlemen all had innocent identities, but they were related to some bandits. Xiao Zhanyuan was a local snake in Shenyang. He knew the situation around Shenyang very well and knew the style of these middlemen, so he gave them some benefits, and soon the middlemen agreed to spread the word.
After arranging the matter, Xiao Zhanyuan left Shenyang again and came to the village where the funerary objects were stored. He found Zhou Laosan and told him: "Cut these things into two parts. The difference in value should not be too big."
Xiao Zhanyuan said casually: "You don't need to ask any more questions, just follow my instructions."
Zhou Laosan nodded, then looked at no one around, and whispered: "Brother, I took seven or eight things and buried them in the soil."
Xiao Zhanyuan immediately asked: "Have you not been seen by the Japanese?"
Zhou Laosan chuckled and said proudly: "I did it myself, and no one noticed."
Xiao Zhanyuan was very relieved about Zhou Laosan's skills, so he nodded and said softly: "That's it for now, don't do it again."
Zhou Laosan immediately said: "I understand, brother, don't worry, Laosan is not too greedy and will not do anything." Then he paused, and then said: "Brother, the thing is hidden in the courtyard.
Under the tree, we will come over and get it after the incident is over." After finishing speaking, Zhou Laosan pointed to the old locust tree in the yard.
After seeing where the things were hidden, Xiao Zhanyuan didn't say anything more, gave a few more instructions, and turned around to leave.
Watching Xiao Zhanyuan leave, Zhou Laosan was very happy and looked very proud. In fact, he had more than a dozen items hidden, and even the ones given to Xiao Zhanyuan were not as many as what he had hidden privately.
However, although these things could be hidden from the Japanese, they could not be hidden from the traitors who were guarding him together, so he told Xiao Zhanyuan that he did not do it alone.
After all, the rest of the traitors only knew that Zhou Laosan had taken some things, but they didn't know how much, so even if someone was a high-density person, nothing would happen.
At ten o'clock in the evening, Zhang Hao received news that Xiao Zhanyuan left Shenyang City and went to a village outside the city. He also learned that a convoy had arrived and entered the Shenyang City Government, so he asked Li Yunsheng to report the situation.
As soon as Li Yunsheng entered the room, Zhang Hao couldn't wait to report the situation, and finally said: "I don't know what this traitor is up to. He even went to see the funerary objects so late at night."
Li Yunsheng thought for a moment and then said: "The convoy came from the north gate and was greeted by Japanese officers and these traitors. It must be from Changchun."
Zhang Hao said calmly: "According to the direction of the convoy and the scene in the city government, it may be a commissioner from Changchun. However, if someone comes from Changchun, the first thing they should do is to capture Xiao Zhanyuan. And now this traitor can still enter and leave Shenyang City."
government, and leave Shenyang City freely, which makes no sense."
Li Yunsheng said nonchalantly: "The Japanese are in charge of the Northeast region, and this matter involves Hirata Nagayama, so it may be suppressed."
Hearing Li Yunsheng's words, Zhang Hao nodded and sighed: "Can it be that Xiao Zhanyuan, the traitor, can escape this time?"
Li Yunsheng smiled, and then said: "This is not necessarily true, because no matter how strong the Japanese are, this matter is a scandal after all. They want to give an explanation to the puppet Manchukuo, so if they want to keep Xiao Zhanyuan, they must find a decent excuse.
Moreover, people coming from Changchun have not yet seen the situation inside and outside the imperial mausoleum. If they see the owner of the mausoleum abandoned in the wilderness, I don’t know how they will behave."
Only then did Zhang Hao remember the back-up plan they had arranged, and there were some photos in his hand, and he felt relieved.
