Heroes of the Anti-Japanese War

Chapter 389

Qian Xiaobao and Zhang Li walked out of Wang Kai's photo studio.

"Brother, I know you are working for the Japanese. Did you secretly buy a house in Shanghai because you thought that one day if the Japanese were doomed, you would quietly go to Shanghai to seek refuge?" Zhang Lixing asked.

Qian Xiaobao laughed twice and did not answer.

"Being a traitor will not end well! Why don't you secretly hide in the Shanghai Concession after I have completed the documents for you, and don't do it for the Japanese anymore." Zhang Lixing continued to persuade.

"I want to, too, but not for now!" Qian Xiaobao replied perfunctorily.

"When Mr. and Mrs. Renet set off from Shanghai to Macau and then went to South America by boat, I hesitated for a long time and was reluctant to stay. If you really can't hide from the Japanese, let's go to South America together!" Zhang Lixing Said.

"I still have some things in the Northeast that cannot be separated from me. I really can't leave. Maybe in the future..." Qian Xiaobao said.

"Well, since you're in trouble, I won't say anything." Zhang Lixing said.

The world is changing rapidly. When Shanghai first had the concession, the first-class foreigners in the eyes of Shanghainese were the British, and later the French and Germans were added.

Later, the first class of foreigners became Americans.

Now the most feared people in Shanghai are of course the Japanese.

The one who feels the deepest about this point is Zhang Lixing.A few months ago, a person who spoke fluent French was still respected, but now some Shanghainese have shown disdain when they hear French again.

Zhang Lixing and Qian Xiaobao stood at the entrance of Xingshun Lane, East Ganshi Road, Xuhui.

A Fang Ya led the two of them into the alley.

"A boss here is going to take his whole family to Hong Kong, so he is in a hurry to sell the house. Even if the price is too low, he will not sell it. The house in the Shanghai Concession is now begged by a family of women! The last time the person who came to see the house opened his mouth Given ten large yellow croakers, the homeowner didn't make a move!"

Fang Ya chattered while walking in front.

"If you make a deal, how much do you want to get?" Zhang Lixing asked.

Fang Ya had seen Zhang Lixing's business card just now, and knew that he was a beggar in the French Concession Board of Directors, so he respected him quite a bit.

"It's all half, no more and no less." Fang Ya replied.

Half is 5.00%, which is not high.

Zhang Lixing took Qian Xiaobao to take pictures the first morning, and in the afternoon he contacted Fang Ya through an acquaintance in the patrol room of the Public Directorate.

The next day he brought Qian Xiaobao to see the house.

This is a street that is not considered prosperous in the French Concession, and a little further away is a dilapidated shantytown that extends in all directions.

Qian Xiaobao looked around and felt that this place is very nice, living here is like water drops falling into a water tank.

"What is this family going to Hong Kong doing in Shanghai?" Qian Xiaobao asked.

This was the first time Qian Xiaobao spoke to Fang Ya, and Fang Ya looked back at Qian Xiaobao with surprise at first and then contempt.

There was only one reason for surprise and contempt, and that was Qian Xiaobao's northeast accent.

In the eyes of Shanghainese, Jinshan people and Kunshan people and Pudong people are all foreigners, not to mention Qian Xiaobao, who is full of Northeast scumbags!
"Speaking of the landlord, this one is amazing! They used to be from the reform government, but now they are from the new Nanjing government!" Fang Ya replied triumphantly.The landlord of the house he bought is a person of high status, and he also feels that he has a lot of face.

The reform government was a traitor regime established in Shanghai when the Japanese army first occupied Shanghai, and it has now been merged into the newly established Nanjing government.

But why has the new Nanjing government just been established, and this person who has not been a traitor for a long time wants to take his whole family to Hong Kong?
Shikumen is a unique building in Shanghai. It looks like a foreign row structure from the outside, but inside it is a Chinese-style courtyard house.

Fang Ya was slapping the copper ring on the gate of a Shikumen in Lane [-] of Xingshunli.

"I, Ah Shun, brought someone to look at the house!" Fang Ya shouted while patting the copper ring.

The small square opening above the gate opened, and a pair of vigilant eyes looked out at the three people standing at the gate.

"Where are those two people from?" the person inside asked.

"People from the French Concession Board of Trustees come to see the house, they are all reliable people!" Fang Ya replied hastily.

"I have to ask the master before I can open the door for you, just wait a moment." The person inside said.

Zhang Lixing and Qian Xiaobao stood outside calmly and waited. Now that there are frequent assassinations in Shanghai, all the traitors are extremely vigilant.

After a while, footsteps were heard again, and then there was the heavy sound of pulling the latch.

The door opened a crack, and a head wearing a melon cap appeared and said, "Come in quickly!"

All three of them walked quickly into the yard sideways.

The entrance is a patio, the two sides are the left and right wing rooms, and the front is the living room with long windows.

The servant wearing a melon cap led Qian Xiaobao and the three of them to the living room.

Qian Xiaobao was once brought into the Shikumen where he lived by Lin Zhengjiang, so he also has some understanding of this kind of Shikumen houses.

Walking into the living room, a middle-aged man sitting on the sofa stood up and nodded politely to the three people, extending his hand to give up his seat.

"This is Mr. Qi Guihengqi! It used to be the Police Chief of the Appeasement Department of the Reform Government, and now he holds an important position in the Nanjing Government!" Fang Ya Ah Shun introduced to Qian Xiaobao and Zhang Lixing.

"I'm Zhang Lixing from the Municipal Prime Minister's Office of the Board of Directors, and this is my friend Gao Xingjian. He is the one who wants to buy Mr. Qi's house." Zhang Lixing pointed to Qian Xiaobao.

"Where is Mr. Gao doing business?" Qi Guiheng asked reservedly.

If it wasn't for such a big event as selling a house, he would never have come forward to meet these little people in front of him.

"Mr. Qi, have you ever studied in Japan?" Qian Xiaobao asked in Japanese looking at a photo of Qi Guiheng in military uniform on the wall.

In the twenty years after the Sino-Japanese War, tens of thousands of young people went to Japan to study.

There are those who are down-to-earth and serious about learning, and there are also many who went to Japan for a while and didn't even learn Japanese, so they went back to study abroad with pride.

It's like the crabs in the small river ditch pretending to be Yangcheng Lake hairy crabs after rinsing in Yangcheng Lake.

Qi Guiheng was stunned for a moment and immediately replied in Japanese: "I studied police administration in Tokyo, Japan for two years. Mr. Gao has also been to Japan?"

Qian Xiaobao nodded and replied: "I'm currently working for Xiao Hinata Bailang's No. 99, and now I need a more secret safe room, so I found your place. Mr. Qi, I have already turned around, and I am very familiar with the environment." If you are satisfied, you can make a price."

Qian Xiaobao's Russian and German are stuttering, but the Japanese with a Kumamoto accent that he learned from Yamamoto Tairasaku is very good at bluffing.

Just like if a foreigner can speak Sichuanese and Cantonese, are you good at speaking?
Hearing Qian Xiaobao asking him to bid for the house in Japanese, Qi Guiheng was momentarily confused and didn't know how to answer.

"I'm not making things difficult for you, how about eleven large yellow croakers?" Qian Xiaobao asked.
