In September 1938, businessmen all over Shanghai were "quietly" spreading one thing:

Japan's comprehensive issuance of "goodwill securities" in Shanghai has yielded huge returns.

Honest Chinese businessmen scoffed at this.

And those traitors, big and small, businessmen swaying from side to side, are pounding.

This can not only curry favor with the Japanese, but also make a lot of money, killing two birds with one stone.

Why not?

At the same time, the military command did two things at once.

First of all, they renewed their offensive against the Japanese special agencies, and in particular, once again issued an "iron-blooded hoe order" aimed at the new agency intelligence headquarters that the Japanese had just set up.

The Japanese knew that this was a bloody battle, and that it was related to their own future development in Shanghai, so they did not dare to slack off at all and went all out to meet the battle.

Almost all of the spies were thrown into the fierce battle with the military commanders.

Secondly, the military commanders began to secretly spy on Tang Shaoyuan, and this work was mainly carried out by Zhou Weilong.

In this way, the profiteers are given room to maneuver.

The mansion on Yunnan Road, Fuzhou Road, has become the most lively place.

The first to take the initiative to subscribe for the "goodwill bonds" was Li Ruzhang, director general of the Shanghai General Correctional Institute for Refugee Children.

He bought a million yen goodwill bonds in one go. In return, he also received a stake in Iwato Co., Ltd. worth one million yen.

All formalities are complete and the certificate is complete.

What's more, this was personally recommended by Tetsuhiro Matsudaira, a great Japanese nobleman.

Subsequently, people like Yang Boyan and Shao Puyun followed up one after another.

Shao Puyun was so strong that he actually bought a bond of 3 million yen in one go.

While making money, he also expressed his loyalty to his Japanese master.

The information was personally reported to Tetsuhiro Matsudaira by Lu Xiaomei every day.

On the first day of the bond sale, it exceeded 7 million yen.

This made Tetsuhiro Matsudaira overjoyed.

All the money was originally planned to be deposited in Zhengjin Bank, but because of the great shame he received in Zhengjin Bank, Matsudaira Tetsuhiro was haunted.

So, he opened an independent yen account at HSBC and sent four people to Lu Xiaomei to "help protect" Lu Xiaomei.

At 4 o'clock in the afternoon of the same day, before the HSBC closed, accompanied by four bodyguards, Lu Xiaomei walked into the bank.

The appearance of four big men with big shoulders and round waists naturally caused tension on the part of the bank, and they were controlled by several security guards to sit on the side.

Lu Xiaomei came to the counter and deposited more than a dozen checks into the account.

Then, when everything was done, he left the bank again under the protection of four bodyguards.

A black sedan was already waiting outside.

Lu Xiaomei got into the car, and it was Matsudaira Tetsuhiro sitting in the car.

"Your Excellency Matsudaira." Lu Xiaomei took out the passbook from the small bag: "Please take a look." ”

Tetsuhiro Matsudaira took the passbook he handed over to Lu Xiaomei and looked at it, seven million.

He was satisfied, really, very satisfied.

It looks like it will soon be able to break through 10 million yen!

Father will be pleased.

He handed over the passbook to Lu Xiaomei again.

Only she knows the password of this account, and Lu Xiaomei can't take out a dime in it even if she has a black heart!

"Ms. Xiaomei, thank you for your contribution to the Japanese Empire." Tetsuhiro Matsudaira was in a very good mood: "When this matter is over, will you still stay in Shanghai?" ”

"Yes, Your Excellency Matsudaira, I still have a mission in Shanghai."

"It's a shame to let such a beautiful woman go on a mission alone. Ms. Xiaomei, are you free tonight, we can have dinner together. ”

"It is truly an honor to be invited by His Excellency Matsudaira." Lu Xiaomei threw a wink: "However, there are still many things that have not been done well, and when the matter is over, Your Excellency Matsudaira can do whatever he wants me to do." ”

You can do whatever you want me to do, this sentence is really too ambiguous.

Tetsuhiro Matsudaira has even fantasized about a wonderful day.

Lu Xiaomei opened the car door: "Your Excellency Matsudaira, you are really a cute boy." ”

"Boom".

Tetsuhiro Matsudaira's head looks like it's going to explode.

Just such a sentence made him want to throw Lu Xiaomei in the car immediately.

It's a pity that so many subordinates are here.

And, now there are even more important things to do......

……

Lu Xiaomei gets up at 10 a.m. every day, eats breakfast and lunch at 10:30, then rests for a while, and at 12 o'clock, officially receives the businessmen who have been waiting for a long time.

At 3 p.m., no matter whether there was anyone or not, she would give instructions on time to send off the guests.

Then, the bonds sold on that day are counted, and then the cheques are collected and escorted by four bodyguards to HSBC to deposit the cheques into the account.

Then I showed the account to Tetsuhiro Matsudaira.

This was the case for three days in a row.

Some businessmen did not hesitate to mortgage their companies and houses in order to buy goodwill bonds, and some even sold the jewelry of their wives and daughters.

China is so big, but there are so many traitors.

For their own selfish interests, in order to be loyal to their Great Japanese Empire, these people really fought hard.

Fifteen million!

In Shanghai, Japan's goodwill bonds issued specifically for China amounted to 15 million yuan.

All of the bonds brought by Tetsuhiro Matsudaira were sold out.

The previous consideration was that being able to sell 8 million to 10 million bonds was already remarkable.

But the end result is far beyond that number.

The merchants, who had not had time to buy the goodwill bonds, were frustrated and inquired where else they could buy them.

Even, in the first place, there was a black market for bonds.

A goodwill bond worth 10,000 yen and a pledge of shares of Iwato Co., Ltd. have risen several times in the black market.

Tetsuhiro Matsudaira was in high spirits.

The shame brought by the previous international visiting delegation has been swept away.

In China's bond sales, he trampled on the Northeast side, which sold 10 million in one fell swoop!

Moreover, he has not used any coercive means himself!

Live up to the name of the Matsudaira family!

What made him even happier was that for the last deposit, Lu Xiaomei not only returned the passbook to herself, but also invited him to dinner at a French restaurant tonight.

Ah, the bond sale is over, the task is complete, and the mood is happy.

And tonight is sure to be a night you'll never forget......

……

Tetsuhiro Matsudaira arrived at this French restaurant on time.

Lu Xiaomei has not yet arrived.

Tetsuhiro Matsudaira is a very patient man.

But after waiting for an hour, the dreamer still didn't appear.

The most patient person will become impatient.

Tetsuhiro Matsudaira was a little annoyed.

This damn woman dared to play with a nobleman.

He stood up with a cold face: "Let's go, go to Yunnan Road!" ”

He wanted to ask Lu Xiaomei face to face what was going on!

When he and his bodyguards just stepped out of the restaurant, more than a dozen big men suddenly rushed out on the side.

"You ......"

"Bang bang bang."

Gunshots rang out, and several bodyguards around him instantly fell in a pool of blood.

"Help!"

Before Matsudaira Tetsuhiro's words fell, he had already received a heavy blow on his head.

Then, there was a flurry of punches and kicks, and he was stuffed into a car......

……

"I'm sorry, Lord Matsudaira."

In the office, facing Tetsuhiro Matsudaira, whose face was covered in blood, Hikaru Hawara apologized repeatedly: "As soon as I heard it, I rushed here, and those people got information that an important person in the military command was dining in that restaurant, and they were just on a mission." I'm sorry to have wronged you. ”

"Bastard!"

This was the second time that Tetsuhiro Matsudaira had been beaten in Shanghai, and he was thunderous and yelling.

Finally waiting for him to calm down a little, Koichi Habara asked, "Your Excellency Matsudaira, your status is so noble, why did you go to that restaurant?" ”

Tetsuhiro Matsudaira was speechless for a while, and casually made up an excuse: "This time, I came to Shanghai to sell goodwill bonds, and I will ...... I'm going to get a check......"

Koichi Hahara also knows about the goodwill bond.

But this has nothing to do with the Japanese intelligence agency in Shanghai, it is the work of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Ministry of Finance.

Nor do they have the right to intervene.

Koichi Habara inquired about the situation, and frowned there for a long time: "Your Excellency Matsudaira, I think you may have been fooled." ”

"What? Fooled? ”

"Yes, I mean you may have been scammed. The money from the sale of bonds is probably not yours anymore. ”

"Impossible!" Tetsuhiro Matsudaira roared: "The passbook is in my hand, fifteen million yen, and only I know the password!" ”

"Really?" Koichi Habara shook his head slightly: "Why did you agree to cooperate with a non-existent Iwato Co., Ltd.?" Tomorrow, I will accompany you to HSBC, and the truth will be revealed. ”

……

"Bastard!"

Tetsuhiro Matsudaira's voice rang out wildly in the lobby of HSBC: "Fifteen million, fifteen million!" Not 150,000! ”

"Sir, please calm down." The manager motioned to several security guards to surround the Japanese: "Let me inform you once again that this passbook of yours is fake, and that your yen account is fully deposited in the amount of 158,000 yen. If you're messing around, I'll have to inform the patrol room. ”

"I'm sorry, we were mistaken."

While apologizing, Koichi Habara pulled Tetsuhiro Matsudaira aside: "Don't you still understand, if so many checks are tens or hundreds of small deposits every time, it will arouse the curiosity of the bank personnel, and it may even be exposed." So, those scattered checks must be tens of thousands of yen each. And in another sense, the 150,000 yen may be the hard money that the person gave you. ”

"Hard work, I'm the ...... of the Matsudaira family" Speaking of this, Matsudaira Tetsuhiro was suddenly stunned: "That person? Who is that person? ”

Mitsuichi Habara smiled bitterly: "There is only one person in the entire Shanghai who can do this!" ”

……

Secret Prison of the Shanghai Special Office of the Military Command.

The prison door opened.

A woman in rags, who had been locked up for I don't know how long, looked up with a pale face.

She pleaded, "You've locked me up for so long, I've confessed everything." ”

Gan Ning glanced at her coldly:

"Arraigned, Lu Xiaomei!"
