While Chen Tianhua and Huo Shan were busy with Ye Han's affairs, Leshan Hall in the Japanese Concession in Hankou, just across the river, was also in chaos.

Sitting on the tatami in a room on the third floor was an Asian man wearing a kimono. He was short and lean, with a falcon head and a beard. He was the master of the Hankou Rakuzendo Hall and the Japanese Imperial Army Major Seiji Arao.

While drinking Japanese sake, he was calculating in his mind a comprehensive assessment of the explosion at the Wuchang Provincial Auditorium yesterday.

According to the secret orders of Lieutenant Colonel Hideo Fujita, the representative of the Imperial Army Staff Headquarters in the south of the Qing Dynasty and the Japanese Consulate General in Shanghai, he sent an action team to create a terrorist activity in the auditorium of Wuchang Provincial Government and took the opportunity to assassinate Chen Tianhua.

Unexpectedly, although this operation successfully detonated bombs and caused chaos, Chen Tianhua and other important officials of the Qing government were not injured, and only a few insignificant quartermasters and a dozen police officers were eliminated.

But Leshan Hall suffered a lot of losses. A total of seven imperial elites lost their lives, and an agent who had been lurking in the Military Advisory Council for many years, Suzuki Yoko, was exposed. The losses outweighed the gains.

After evaluation, this assassination operation was considered a failure. The imperial soldiers were defeated again by Chen Tianhua, which made the Aratail spirit ashamed and furious.

At this time, the door opened, and a woman in kimono came in, lowered her head and said:

"Master, Miss Yoko has arrived and is waiting outside the door."

"Yoshi, please invite her in quickly!"

"Hi..." The woman bowed her head and bowed out.

After a while, Suzuki Yoko had changed into a kimono and came in. She knelt down and kowtowed, "Yoko has met the master of the hall."

"Yoshi, get up and sit down!"

"Thank you, Master!" Suzuki Yoko knelt down in front of the tatami.

Arao Jing personally poured him a glass of wine, "Miss Yoko, thank you for your hard work!"

Yesterday's assassination operation could be said to have been a failure. Just as she had worried in advance, Chen Tianhua and his subordinates Gu Zhunian and others were too powerful. As a result, the ten-person action team brought by Yamamoto Jiro only had three actions.

The team members were injured and returned to the Japanese Concession across the river with Suzuki Yoko.

After Yoko arrived at Leshan Hall, he went out to inquire for information without stopping. He did not return to report until he got the results this morning.

"How is Second Lieutenant Yamamoto's situation?" Arao asked impatiently.

"Reporting to your Excellency, Yamamoto-kun succeeded!" Suzuki Yoko lowered her head and replied with a slightly sad expression.

"He succeeded!" After hearing this, Arao Jing was overjoyed at first, but immediately showed sadness, "Second Lieutenant Yamamoto was a warrior of the Empire. We will set up a memorial tablet for him in the Summoning Shrine of Lezendo and pay tribute to him on a long-term basis."

It turns out that in this action plan, there is a plan to kill the enemy. If the assassination operation fails, the last resort will be launched.

The dead man who carried out this torture plan was Yamamoto Jiro.

At the ferry, Yamamoto Jiro, who was only slightly injured and could cross the river to evacuate, was injured in the leg by Suzuki Yoko and rolled down the slope. He was captured alive by Eizawa and others who came to block the ferry.

Next came the torture interrogation. In order to make the performance realistic, Yamamoto Jiro first gritted his teeth and endured, and only confessed when he reached the limit.

It's a pity that this death plan reached a critical moment and was discovered by Chen Tianhua. Unexpectedly, he took extreme measures and shot Yamamoto to death on the spot, which only achieved half of the original plan.

However, even this half effect is shocking enough and is producing a butterfly effect.

"Well, we have to continue to add firewood to the fire that Yamamoto lit with his death, and it will become a raging fire, burning it to pieces and turning it upside down." The Arao spirit gritted his teeth.

"Then please tell me what kind of useful information we will throw out next," Suzuki Yoko said.

The so-called dry information she mentioned refers to secrets such as the names of revolutionary party members, the names and activities of party organizations, etc. held by Japanese spy agencies.

Since many important members of the Hui Party at home and abroad have close relations with the Japanese Black Dragon Club, that is to say, the Japanese Black Dragon Club is the behind-the-scenes supporter of all anti-Qing Hui parties, including the Tongmenghui.

For a long time, one of the important tasks of the spy organizations in the Qing Dynasty was to join forces with the Black Dragon Society to secretly support the anti-Qing forces and actively instigate anti-Qing riots, etc., to tear the Qing Dynasty into pieces. Therefore, many anti-Qing party organizations have

A Japanese spy sits in to investigate.

The purpose of selectively throwing out some useful information was to fan the flames and create chaos within the Qing court.

But which dry goods can be thrown away is decided by the hall leader, Arao Sei.

"We have already thrown out Ye Han. Let's just throw out Luan Rong, who came from Shanghai, and her Red Sleeve Bookstore. She has been having an ambiguous relationship with Chen Tianhua recently. Throw her out and burn her to Chen Tianhua.

The fire may be stronger, at least to cause trouble for him, it is best to force him to rebel, then the Qing Dynasty will be in chaos."

Arao Jing was wily and thoughtful, he said with profound meaning.

"Thank you, Master." Suzuki Yoko complimented.

Regarding the Red Sleeve Book Apartment in Shanghai and Luan Rong himself, the Shanghai Intelligence Agency, the military advisory office, had paid attention to it in the early years, and Ye Mingyan was in charge of the specific affairs.

Due to the standard behavior of Luan Rong and others, and their single-line contact in Shanghai, no real evidence fell into Ye Mingyan's hands, and Hongxiu Shuyu's personal connections in Shanghai made it impossible to risk a search or detention and interrogation.

Can wait patiently.

In October last year, Luan Rong suddenly appeared in Binjiang Hualou Alley in Hankou. It turned out that she was responsible for the establishment of the Hankou branch of Red Sleeve Bookstore, and Ye Mingyan naturally followed her.

In order to facilitate Ye Mingyan's work in Hanyang Mansion, the Military Advisory Committee assigned an intelligence station in Hankou to her. For this reason, she came from Shanghai again this time to prepare to accept the Hankou intelligence station.

The Hankou Intelligence Station of the Military Counselor is also a top brothel in Fengfeitai along with Red Sleeve Book House. The station manager is Zi Yan.

What Ye Mingyan never expected was that her shortcomings that she had not overcome in Shanghai would be discovered by Zi Yan.

By mistake, on the fifth day of May, on the Dragon Boat Festival night in East Lake, Fengfeitai lost to Hongxiu Shuyu. Ziyan was very unconvinced and sent out detectives to follow and monitor Luan Rong. This was incredible, and Luan Rong was discovered.

There are clues of contact with the revolutionaries, and of course there is an ambiguous private meeting with Chen Tianhua. But

It turns out that after Luan Rong arrived in Hankou, she changed her cautious approach to single-line contacts in Shanghai and turned into multiple contacts. This may be the need of the revolution and forced by the situation. The most important thing is that she thought that not many people in Hankou knew her, so she was careless.

.

After Ye Mingyan accepted Feng Feitai, she did not report Luan Rong's situation, but suppressed it and continued to track it. She wanted to know more about Chen Tianhua and get more real evidence for the Japanese side.

"Miss Yoko, please stop complimenting us. We are now competing with Chen Tianhua and we have the upper hand in every aspect. We finally have this opportunity, so we must seize it. Yoko, please tell us what channels and means we use to sell these valuables."

Go and achieve immediate results." Arao didn't look proud at all, he turned to ask Yoko.

"Your Excellency, Hall Master, I have a channel that can guarantee immediate results."

"Which channel?"

"Wang Qizheng, Military Consultant, Shanghai Information Agency." Suzuki Yoko said confidently.
