Chapter 646: Planning Again (Asking for a Monthly Pass)
Of course, Ning Zhiheng knew that this was a rare opportunity for him, if he was lucky, he could really get Fujiwara Hirofumi's appreciation, and his identity as a noble son of the Fujiwara family, even if he was confirmed, no one would dare to question him with this question.
Even if someone knows that Ning Zhiheng, the head of the Operations Division of the Military Command Bureau who is far away in Chongqing, is exactly the same as Fujiwara Tomohito, a son of the Fujiwara family, with Fujiwara Hirofumi's endorsement, Ning Zhiheng can loudly rebuke and question his people's sinister intentions.
What's more, with Fujiwara Hirofumi's endorsement, he can further gain the trust of Junpei Uehara, and at the same time, he can expand the territory of the smuggling kingdom without any scruples, and the benefits are not too many, so some risks must be taken!
The question now is how to curry favor with Fujiwara Hirofumi and gain his trust and appreciation.
In fact, high-ranking people with prominent positions generally have one or two more elegant hobbies, because they know how to get rid of the troubles in their hearts, and at the same time, they will not lower their status.
Some like calligraphy and painting, some like to play chess and opera, or like Kawamoto Kurashi and Hwang Hyun-masa, they like antiques, in short, as long as most people of status are like this, they will consciously learn and enhance their hobby in this area.
Just like Fujiwara Hirofumi's favorite paintings and kendo.
Fortunately, Ning Zhiheng has dabbled in both of them, especially painting, he has a deep foundation, whether it is sketching or Chinese painting, he has good attainments, especially his sketches can be described as superb, which is of great help to his spy career.
During his time at the Muran Academy, he also came into contact with several Japanese painters, and he was no stranger to the techniques of Japanese painting, which were actually similar to Chinese traditional paintings, and I believe that there would be no problem in dealing with Fujiwara Hirofumi.
However, Ning Zhiheng thought about it again and again, or gave up this idea, Fujiwara Tomohito grew up in a rural village in Kyoto, and the conditions for learning were not good, if the calligraphy attainments were good, it could barely be said in the past, but if the level of painting was also very good, it would be difficult to justify it, after all, the investment in painting was much greater than that of calligraphy, and it could not be covered up with talent, and it took a long time of practice to reach a certain level.
However, I can prepare a few precious ancient Chinese paintings as gifts, which will definitely satisfy Fujiwara Hirofumi.
There is also Japanese kendo, in terms of Ning Zhiheng's skills, this is all a small way, even a real Japanese kendo master, and he can't make a few moves in his hands.
However, there are a lot of rules in Japanese kendo, if you want to learn, you still have to find a real kendo master, formally learn it, I believe that with his foundation, coupled with super learning ability, this little thing will not be difficult for him.
Fortunately, Junpei Uehara didn't know much about Fujiwara Tomohito's original history, because he was never suspected from the beginning, and there was no too much investigation, Ning Zhiheng only needed to show a little strength, dress himself up as a kendo enthusiast, and win Fujiwara Hirofumi's appreciation.
The most important point is profit! Ning Zhiheng's biggest advantage is that he is rich, and he is super rich!
As he said before, who in this world would not love money? Even if he is a top nobleman, the so-called reach out and don't hit the smiling person, and don't scold the gift giver when he opens his mouth!
As long as he takes a lot of money and sends it to the door, will he Fujiwara Hirofumi still throw himself out of the door?
There is no problem, it is 10,000 dollars that can't be solved! If there is, it's $100,000! If there is more, it is a million dollars!
Ning Zhiheng has this courage and financial resources, and I believe that Fujiwara Hirofumi will always be satisfied!
On the same day, Ning Zhiheng returned to the Tan Mansion in the concession, and he entered the basement, where quite a lot of antique treasures were already stored, and it was no problem to pick out a few ancient paintings.
Under his careful selection, he selected three ancient paintings and left the basement.
"Inform Koshizawa to come see me immediately!" Ning Zhiheng instructed Zuo Rou.
"Yes!" Zuo Rou nodded in agreement.
Not long after, Huo Yueze hurried to the Tan Mansion.
The task of training the little monkey has been handed over to him for half a month, and Ning Zhiheng needs to check the progress of the work.
"I've found a building similar to the money printing base, just east of the Public Concession, there's a dilapidated office building, which we bought at a great price, and it's been modified according to the drawings, and formal training began three days ago."
"Take me to see it!" Ning Zhiheng commanded.
"Yes!"
Huo Yueze drove Ning Zhiheng all the way to an old office building in the east of the public concession.
The entire office building is fenced off with a partition board, and a sign of the construction site is hung outside to prevent irrelevant personnel from entering, and it looks like it is being renovated from the outside.
Walking inside, Ji Hongyi was leading his team members to be on guard, and seeing Ning Zhiheng coming in person, he also hurriedly greeted him.
"You're here in person!"
Ning Zhiheng nodded, he looked up at the wall of the building, and sure enough, he saw that the entire building was also four floors, left on the outer wall on the east side of the fourth floor, there was a drainage pipe hanging from top to bottom, and two meters to the right of the fourth-floor drainage pipe, a new vent was opened, and the location and size were the same as the vents in the library building.
Huo Yueze pointed to the drain pipe and vent and said: "We not only imitated the library building on the outer wall, but also arranged the exact same warehouse according to the drawings you gave me in the building, please come with me!" ”
Huo Yueze and Ji Hongyi led the way in front and led Ning Zhiheng into the building.
The interior of this building is not the same as the library building, but it doesn't matter, Ning Zhiheng didn't plan to enter from the inside of the library building at all, he only needed to enter the warehouse on the fourth floor through the vent directly.
When I came to the fourth floor, I saw that a large room had been converted into a room on the east side.
When I opened the door, I saw that there were ten piles of white paper neatly stacked inside according to the drawings marked, the position and distance were exactly the same as on the drawings, and the upper right side of the wall was the vent.
Ning Zhiheng couldn't help but nodded, Huo Yueze and their movements were very fast, in this short period of half a month, it was completely enough to completely reproduce the part needed by the library building, and arrange the same environment as the library building, as a place to train little monkeys.
At this moment, Ning Zhiheng heard a shout, and the sound of a leather whip swinging, followed by the squeaking of a monkey.
Ning Zhiheng turned around a pile of white papers, and saw that the monkey trickster was training the little monkey to light the fire.
But no matter how hard he tried to demonstrate, when the little monkey pulled out the fire fold from the small bamboo tube, as long as he shook the fire fold, after the fire appeared, the little monkey would involuntarily throw the fire fold away, obviously the sudden appearance of the flame, made it very uncomfortable, and even a little overwhelmed.
As long as it is an animal, it will be afraid of fire, but this little monkey did not show a fear of fire when performing, and now it should just be uncomfortable, which needs to be trained slowly.
The monkey trickster is named Li Erdong, who walks the streets and alleys all the year round to perform monkey tricks for a living, just half a month ago late one night, just after the performance, he got a large amount of reward, and was happily walking on the way home, he was caught in the car by several big men, and finally was taken to a room and locked up.
This gang of strongmen gave him a large sum of money, and what he needed to do was to let him train his little monkey to go to a building and set fire to a large room of blank paper within a month.
Li Erdong knew that these people were not ordinary strongmen, so he could only honestly listen to people's orders and dare not slack off a little.
Fortunately, such a thing was not difficult for him, and under the impetus of the whip and food, the little monkey quickly learned the movement of entering the warehouse from the outer wall, after all, climbing is the monkey's instinct, and this is not a problem.
However, at the final ignition level, it was difficult to adapt for a while, and progress was a little slow.
Ning Zhiheng looked at it, didn't go over, turned to Huo Yueze and asked, "Are there any difficulties now?" Time waits for no one, at most it will give you another month, are you sure? ”
Huo Yueze said with some embarrassment: "At present, there are still some problems, first of all, this little monkey is still a little afraid of fire, and he hides when he sees the flames, but the boy who plays with the monkey said that as long as he is given some more time, it shouldn't be a problem." Another point is that the real banknote is thicker than the ordinary white paper, and the flame of the fire fold is not guaranteed to really ignite, if the fire cannot be ignited quickly, it will be quickly extinguished after being discovered by the Japanese, so it is necessary to increase the speed of the fire when igniting, and in the shortest possible time, let the whole warehouse burn, I plan to add a little more accelerant, such as gasoline or alcohol, but this will increase the difficulty of training, prolong the training time, I am not completely sure. ”
Huo Yueze did things carefully, and the problem he considered was indeed thorough, Ning Zhiheng thought for a moment, nodded and said: "It must be guaranteed to be a one-time success, then add a little alcohol or gasoline, although the difficulty of training is greater, but it is worth waiting, as for the problem of the Japanese fighting fires..."
Speaking of this, he looked at Ji Hongyi on the side, and said again: "Hongyi, do you still remember, what method did we use when we went to complete the hoeing task?" ”
Ji Hongyi thought for a moment, suddenly came to his senses, and said with a smile: "Seat, are you saying that we will repeat our old tricks and cut off the running water source of the library building, so that they have no water to use!" ”
"Yes, that's it!" Ning Zhiheng slapped his palms and said with a smile, "It's still the old way, on the day of the action, as long as you see the fire together, you will destroy the water pipes of the library building, the warehouse is full of banknotes, the fire is together, there is no water to put out the fire, don't even think about extinguishing it, the Japanese have no way to find out, this is double insurance!" ”
