Chapter 452 The arrival of the commissioner
Just after seven o'clock in the evening, a convoy drove from the north and arrived outside Chenyang City without any sign of slowing down.
The fleet consists of six cars, two cars and four trucks.
Most of these cars were hung with Japanese plaster flags, but one car was hung with five-color flags.
This five-colored flag is not much different from the national flag of the Beiyang government period, and it is the national flag of the puppet Manchukuo.
The Japanese army guarding Chenyang City saw this convoy without any intention of blocking it. Before the convoy could approach, they moved the roadblocks away.
The convoy entered the city, took a turn, and drove directly to the Shenyang Municipal Government.
At this time, at the gate of the Chenyang Municipal Government, more than a dozen people were waiting patiently. These people were all traitors from all over the city of Chenyang, as well as some Japanese officers.
Among these people, three were standing in front, one of them was Hirata Yongshan, the captain of the Shenyang Gendarmerie, and the other two were Xiao Zhanyuan and Shen Jiemin.
Although these people were standing at the gate of the municipal government and there was no conflict, Chen Jiemin's face was a little excited, and he occasionally glanced at Xiao Zhanyuan with his eyes, looking like he was unlucky.
Xiao Zhanyuan naturally saw Chen Jiemin's gaze, but the commissioner from Changchun was about to arrive, so he didn't have much trouble and thought without caring about it. When the matter was resolved, he would see what the fat pig had.
After a few minutes, the convoy was coming. After parked at the gate, seven or eight people walked out of the car.
Two of them walked in front and walked side by side, but their clothes were different. One was in his forties, wearing Japanese military uniforms, and the colonel's epaulette was hung on his shoulders.
The other person was an old man, who looked like he was in his fifties and sixties, wearing a long gown and jacket. During this period of the Republic of China, he seemed a little out of character.
As soon as the two of them came over, Chen Jiemin immediately stepped forward and slept respectfully: "Lu Zhongtang, Colonel Yamamoto, welcome you to Chenyang."
Seeing Chen Jiemin walking forward first, Hirata Nyeongshan, who was behind him, immediately showed an unhappy expression on his face, but he still walked over and said calmly: "Lu Zhongdang, Yamamoto, you have finally arrived."
These two people are special commissioners from Changchun. The older one is Lu Shunzhang, who is a senior executive of the puppet Manchukuo.
The man in Japanese military uniform is named Yamamoto. He is a combat staff officer of the Kanto Army Command and is specially here to assist in investigating theft of the imperial tomb.
Seeing the two people coming, Lu Shunzhang nodded, and then said, "Mayor Chen, Colonel Hirata, I came to Chenyang to investigate theft of the imperial tomb under the order of the emperor. I hope the two of you will cooperate."
Shan Wenduo said nothing much, just simply echoed a few words and looked calm.
As soon as the two of them finished speaking, before Hirata Yongshan could speak, Chen Jiemin took the lead and said, "Don't worry, Lu Zhongtang, Chen will do his best to cooperate with both of them."
Seeing Chen Jiemin speak first again, Hirata Yongshan became even more angry and thought that this fat man was really not to be cleaned up, but he didn't have an attack, but said lightly: "We will naturally cooperate. Now please go to the conference room first, let's discuss this matter." After that, he turned around and made a gesture of invitation.
When Hirata Yongshan turned around, he naturally leaked Xiao Zhanyuan behind him, so Lu Shunzhang immediately said: "Mayor Chen, why is this criminal involved in the case here? Why don't you arrest him?"
After saying that, Lu Shunzhang pointed his hand at Xiao Zhanyuan, and the person on his face looked very angry.
Before Chen Jiemin could speak, Hirata Yongshan hurriedly said, "Lu Zhongtang, there is something else in this matter. When we arrive at the conference room, we will explain the specific situation to you."
Lu Shunzhang said angrily: "What's the inside story? The newspaper has been published. It's not that Xiao Zhanyuan had the idea of seeing the money, but he actually had the idea of the imperial tomb."
After saying that, he glared at Hirata Nagayama. After all, the photos in the newspapers also had this military captain.
However, the Japanese had a special status and Nagayama Hirata was also a colonel of the army, so the puppet Manchukuo did not dare to accuse him at will, so he had to deal with Xiao Zhanyuan first.
Hearing Lu Shunzhang's words, Hirata Nagayama said coldly: "Don't be excited, Lu Zhongtang, there is really something else in this matter. I will explain it to you later..."
"Enough, Colonel Hirata, the photo of this scum has been published in the newspaper. There will never be any fake matter. I'd better take him down first."
Before Hirata Yongshan finished speaking, Lu Shunzhang interrupted him because before coming again, Chen Jiemin had already reported on what happened to Changchun, and of course he could not help but add fuel to the fire during this period.
Lu Shunzhang was an important official of the Puppet Manchukuo, and his family was also the old and youngest of the Qing Dynasty. Therefore, he was very loyal to the Puppet Manchukuo and missed the Qing Dynasty even more.
When he learned about the matter reported by Chen Jiemin, he couldn't help but be furious, and then he robbed the right to handle the matter and came to investigate in person.
So when Lu Shunzhang saw Xiao Zhanyuan, he shouted to beat and kill him, and did not give Hirata Yongshan a good look. After all, he knew that stealing the imperial tomb was indispensable to the military captain.
However, Lu Shunzhang also knew that the Japanese were powerful, and the puppet Manchukuo was just a puppet regime, so he naturally did not dare to provoke the Japanese easily, so he could only come for Xiao Zhanyuan alone.
Hearing Lu Shunzhang's words, Hirata Nagayama frowned, and then spoke in a deep tone: "Lu Zhongtang, I have already said that there is something else in this matter, I will explain it to you later."
Although he was afraid of the Japanese, Lu Shunzhang was one of the major traitors in the puppet Manchukuo. He had seen many senior leaders of the Kwantung Army, so he was not afraid of a colonel, so he said, "Colonel Hirata, this is a matter within our China, we will deal with it ourselves," and then said to the person behind him: "Come on, take Xiao Zhanyuan for me."
The guards who followed Lu Shunzhang, after hearing the order, immediately stepped forward to capture Xiao Zhanyuan.
Looking at the guard's movements, Chen Jiemin's face showed a very happy expression, and he also looked at Xiao Zhanyuan with a schadenfreshing look.
Xiao Zhanyuan turned a blind eye to Chen Jiemin's gaze and did not act rashly, and handed everything to Hirata Yongshan. He knew that this gendarmerie captain would not let Lu Shunzhang's men succeed.
Sure enough, as soon as the person who was on Lu Shunzhang came over, Hirata Nagayama waved his hand, followed his Japanese military police, immediately picked up his rifle and pointed it at the person who stepped forward.
Seeing this situation, Lu Shunzhang was very angry and said angrily: "Captain Hirata, are you going to interfere in our internal affairs? Isn't this a bit too much?"
Hirata Nagayama said coldly: "Lu Zhongtang, don't make any mistakes, this is Manchukuo."
Hirata Yongshan's words made Lu Shunzhang stunned and he didn't know what to say immediately. In the eyes of these Qing Dynasty's old and young men, the puppet Manchukuo was China, and they were the orthodox of the Chinese nation.
In the eyes of the Japanese, China is naturally the National Government. Although they have been fighting with the National Government and do not have this corrupt government that they are worthy of, they pay at least a little attention.
Especially the War of Resistance Against Japan lasted longer and a little bit of ambiguous Japanese people all attached importance to China and recognized that this was an opponent.
As for the puppet Manchukuo, in the eyes of the Japanese, it was just a puppet. Hirata Nagayama pointed out this matter specifically, which was also warning Lu Shunzhang not to do it himself, and implying a hint of threat.
Hirata Nagayama's words made Lu Shunzhang calm down, but he didn't know how to deal with this matter. After all, it would be too embarrassing to retreat.
Lu Shunzhang's subordinates often asked for instructions with their eyes. After all, these people were confronting the Japanese military police and the pressure was extremely high.
At this time, Yama Weng Duo, who came with Lu Shunzhang, said: "Lu Zhongtang, Hirata Jun, don't get angry. We are all our own people. We can discuss anything if you have anything. Let's stop if you have something. Let's talk about it slowly."
If Yamamoto said too much, it just gave both sides a step. Lu Shunzhang had a feeling of being unable to get rid of the tiger. After all, he did not dare to fight with the Japanese, so he snorted angrily and said, "Then I want to see what Colonel Hirata has to explain."
After saying that, Lu Shunzhang waved his hand and signaled his subordinates to retreat.
Seeing Lu Shunzhang's gesture, the person who stepped forward immediately retreated, and the speed was very fast without any hesitation.
After all, these traitors know that the Japanese are not easy to mess with, and they are naturally worried about confronting the Japanese because of helplessness.
Seeing Lu Shunzhang's men retreat, Hirata Nagayama also waved his hand and asked his subordinates to retreat, because although he was a colonel in the army, he could not really deal with Lu Shunzhang, because the Japanese still needed the puppet Manchukuo brand, so of course things could not be made too big.
Seeing that both sides stopped, Yamazumi nodded with satisfaction, and then said, "Hiratan Jun, Lu Zhongtang, this is not a place to talk. If there is anything, let's go in and talk."
If Yamamoto is too much, Hirata Nagayama dare not neglect. After all, this person represents the Kanto Army Command. Although he is also a colonel, his status is higher, so he immediately spoke: "Yamamoto, Lu Zhongtang, please come from the two."
Lu Shunzhang was not troublesome, but he just glanced at Xiao Zhanyuan hard, and then walked into the Shenyang Municipal Government.
Seeing Lu Shunzhang letting go of this matter, Shen Jiemin showed a dumbfounded expression, but he didn't know what to say.
Looking at Shen Jiemin's expression, Xiao Zhanyuan was very disdainful. When Lu Shunzhang entered the municipal government, the rest of the people also slowly entered, they came to Shen Jiemin and whispered: "Mayor Shen, do you really think that with this little thing, you can move me down?"
While saying this, Xiao Zhanyuan's face showed a very proud look and he also made a gesture of contempt.
Looking at Xiao Zhanyuan's proud expression, Shen Jiemin said hatefully: "This matter is not over yet, let's take a look."
After saying that, he ignored Xiao Zhanyuan and quickly entered the city government.
