"Oh, I said Lao Lu, I just reminded you to be careful when you go out. You are plotting against someone. How about it? Let me see, I'm not hurting, right?" Lu Xiyan drove the car directly to the slaughter room where the big self-ringing bell was.

"I'm here to thank you."

"Are you here to slap me in the face?" Tang Jin said.

"I think the public security in the French Concession is getting worse and worse. My Chinese Concession, the French Concession, almost got shot when I drank coffee. Is this French Concession still a place to live and work in peace?" Lu Xiyan said loudly.

"What's the use of telling me? I'm the Political Department and I don't care about public security. In terms of public security, it is under the military uniform and criminal department. Director Lu wants to report the case and go to the General Office of Xue Huali Road."

"I must go to the General Captain Room..."

"Okay, okay, stop acting, just act again." Tang Jin walked over and closed the office door. Can't this family be made public?

"That boy Cheng Haitao is back?"

"Well, the official has been restored. This kid has a Japanese behind him and has some connection with Lao Huang. Sarli wants to interfere in the Political Department. After all, if the Japanese want to move freely in the French Concession, they must have the Political Department to cooperate." Tang Jin said, "I am under a lot of pressure now."

"How long has Zhang Xiaolin suffered a stroke?"

"It's been three months." Tang Jin said subconsciously, "Why, he did the Tevens Cafe?"

"Who else will be there besides him? The Japanese will not attack me at this time, nor at No. 76. Lin Shiqun knows the relationship between me and Zhou Fuhai. As for Ding Mo Village, I just gave him 100,000 yuan. For the sake of money, he will not attack me, let alone there is no hatred between me and Ding." Lu Xiyan sat down and took a sip of water and said, "So, after thinking about it, I hated me to the core. The only one who wanted to kill me was Zhang Xiaolin. It was difficult for him to pretend to be sick for so long, but he couldn't help it in the end."

"It's really him, then this time I'm afraid I'm seeing the sacred dagger."

"Last time he admitted defeat, and then suddenly had a stroke. If I continued to kill, there would inevitably be people saying that the methods were too cruel, which aroused those people's lips and teeth to be cold, and they shared their hatred for the enemy. Now, it is him who will take action first, and I will fight back passively. Morally, I have no problem at all." Lu Xiyan said.

"Whoever stands in Zhang Xiaolin now will be your enemy?" Tang Jin understood.

"Yes, if someone doesn't offend me, I won't offend me, he will kill me. Wouldn't you allow me to fight back?" Lu Xiyan said coldly.

"What do you want to do?"

"Didn't Boss Dai and Boss Du always want to get rid of Zhang Xiaolin?" Lu Xiyan said, "This time, we will take advantage of this opportunity."

"It's hard to kill Zhang Xiaolin. He doesn't even go out of the gate now, and there are Japanese military police who will show him the gate. Can we rush in and kill people?" Tang Jin said.

"If I don't believe in the Military Control Commission, there is no other plan. If I don't succeed once, I will always have a solution." Lu Xiyan said, "Also, the opportunity is here."

Tang Jin's eyes lit up: "Are you talking about the Chinese deputy director?"

"Yes, the activities in the concession on No. 76 are becoming more and more frequent. Britain and France are now declaring war on Germany. Although the policy of appeasement against Japan adopted in Asia does not mean that they are willing to be trampled on the ground by the Japanese. Can Salle be tolerated in France in such a pro-Japanese manner?" Lu Xiyan said.

"The French arresting room needs a dedicated deputy director to communicate with the Japanese side. This person should never be Sarli."

"Why?"

"Because the Chinese are the best scapegoats." Lu Xiyan smiled.

"What do you mean is that if I become the deputy director of this Chinese, I would take the blame for the French arrest room?" Tang Jin pointed at himself and said.

"If you don't carry it, whoever carries it? If you want to carry the crown, you will bear the weight. You must let Oqi and the general manager, and you are the most suitable candidate, rather than Salli, who blindly knows how to dress up in the Japanese, then France's interests in China will be betrayed by him." Lu Xiyan said.

"I understand, but these people are afraid that they will not let go if they have no benefits." Tang Jin said.

"What if I could bring peace to the French Concession, and do enough benefits to them, and build better relationships between the Japanese?" Lu Xiyan said, "Don't I need to be as humble as Sarri?"

"You mean, replace Salli?"

"Unless we obey the Japanese like Sarli, we will not be able to replace Sarli for the time being," Lu Xiyan said.

"Will the French agree?"

"Westerns can do this political method. If Salle dominates the French house, what will happen? Don't the French themselves know?"

"I understand."

...

Zhang Gongguan.

"How is that little bastard Lu Xiyan died?" Zhang Xiaolin sat upright on the soft collapse. Although the corners of his mouth were still a little crooked, his words were basically clear.

"I heard from the brothers in the arresting room that we died and five or six more were injured. As for the one named Lu, it seems that he was unharmed." The butler Li Mi stood in front of him with his head down and reported.

"Ma, why is this kid so lucky?" Zhang Xiaolin shivered in anger. Such a good opportunity could not get rid of the person.

"Master, in addition to that guy named Lu, there are also people around him who secretly protect his safety. They are all masters. As soon as we started, the person who protected him appeared and then rescued him."

"Waste, all are a bunch of waste!"

"Yes, yes..." Li Mi's forehead was covered with cold sweat.

"Let the person who came in keep his mouth shut and say one more word. I will not only take his life, but also his family." Zhang Xiaolin ordered with a fierce and evil spirit.

...

The next morning, the newspaper in the Concession published the newspaper that Hua Dong of the French Concession was attacked by gunmen at the Tevens Cafe in Xiafeilu.

Subsequently, the Hujiang Daily published an exclusive interview.

In an exclusive interview, Lu Xiyan mentioned the inaction of the French arresting house in recent times, especially expressed serious dissatisfaction with the deterioration of the security situation in the French Concession since Deputy Director Salli took office.

As the French Concession, Hua Dong may be assassinated if he has a meal or a coffee in the French Concession. It is conceivable how harsh the safety environment for ordinary people is.

As a senior consultant of the legal arrest house, during this period, he has put forward many suggestions for the legal arrest house on improving public security, but Deputy Director Sarli seems to be not interested in these at all.

What does this Deputy Director Salle do every day?

Drinking coffee, watching movies, dating women, and dancing, how could he, a public servant in the legal garrison house, have so much leisure time and money?

This must be obtained from the transaction of embezzlement and power-money. In addition to Lu Xiyan, some heavyweights from the Chinese Tax Payment Association of the French Concession have also spoken out to denounce the security issues in the French Concession. They have used so much money every year, so why can't they even handle a security situation?

When it comes to tax payment, the Public and Directors Bureau cannot pretend to be invisible and must respond. In particular, the Chinese taxpayers in the French Concession are all spoken out. Although the Japanese control Shanghai's imports and exports, foreigners in Shanghai are not doing well. The Japanese have great virtues and are extremely greedy.

The fiscal revenue of the French Concession is getting worse every year. If something happens to refuse to pay taxes, how can you live this life?

For a time, newspaper public opinion and folk rumors were rampant.

"Mr. Oqi, we are just expressing reasonable demands to the outside world and have no intention of confronting the Public and Directorate Bureau." Lu Xiyan was called over by Oqi's acting general director.

"Lu, I know that you were very unhappy when you were assassinated, but as Director Hua, you should show your own example in this troublesome time. Do you know, how much pressure are we under?" Oqi and Lu Xiyan had a good relationship, let alone, the two sides were still tied up in interests.

"Of course I know, so even though I know who is treating me, I still acted very restrained. If it were someone else, what would you do?" Lu Xiyan said.

"Lu, let's not talk nonsense anymore. What do you want from me?" asked Oqi, who had been appointed by the French Consul General in Shanghai to fully handle the concession matters.

"I think Deputy Director Salle is too pro-Japanese, which is not good for the interests of the French Concession and the French Republic." Lu Xiyan said directly.

"Do you mean to replace Salle?" Oqi was slightly dissatisfied. Although he was tied to Lu Xiyan's interests, he might not be willing to let Lu Xiyan intervene in the personnel affairs of the legal arrest. This is the French's power.

"No, I don't have such an idea. Deputy Director Salle has a good relationship with the Japanese, which is not bad for us. I mean, can you balance it? Director Carl is in poor health and is basically not very responsible. The other two deputy directors are not qualified and capable enough to compete with him. If Deputy Director Sallele blindly cater to the Japanese, he may be dissatisfied by more and more people. If unpredictable consequences are caused, you know, this is an excuse for the Japanese to intervene in the French Concession. Can't you see what the situation is now in the area of ​​crossing the border with the West of Shanghai? "Lu Xiyan has been dealing with the French for a day or two, and of course he understands the hearts of the French.

"You mean, find someone who can check and balance Salle?"

"If a department is dominant, what will happen if a person has the power? Do you understand?" Lu Xiyan gave Oqi a heavy blow.

"I need to discuss this matter with the consul." Oqi thought for a moment. Lu Xiyan didn't say anything, but he didn't understand that the only person who could compete with Sarli in the Filing Office was Tang Jin, the senior inspector general of the Political Department.

In the past, the highest position that Chinese people have achieved was the senior inspector general, and Huang Jinrong was also forced to retreat from this position. If we go further, we will be the deputy director.

This involves the issue of the system of legal housing arrest. Although the director must be the French, it is not up to the point of improving the status of Chinese people. The Public and Directors Bureau of the French Concession in Shanghai have the final say. Tianjin, Wuhan and Guangzhou have French Concessions, and the scale is of course not as large as Shanghai, but the basic settings are the same. The Chinese can only serve as senior inspector general at the highest, which is the red line.

Lu Xiyan didn't mention the "Chinese Deputy Director". It was another matter to say this. Oqi understood it himself, and what he thought of was another matter.

Soon, it had been a week since the assassination of Tevens, and the heat of this incident also dropped a lot. However, the conflict between the police recruited by the pseudo-Shanghai Municipal Government and No. 76 in the area where the road construction crossed the border in the west of Shanghai was becoming increasingly fierce.

One day, there was finally an explosion news. Philip, the General Officer of the Bureau of the Industry and Industry Department, was attacked by gunmen while he was taking his own car to go to work.

Philip escaped by chance, but was also scared.

Of course, this was secretly planned by No. 76, and the British knew it well, but there was no evidence and no one was caught. What can you do?

On the 76th, he kept causing trouble in the western Shanghai area, and even shot and killed police officers from the Ministry of Workers and snatched guns and patrol bicycles in the street.

During the day, the concession patrols did not dare to leave alone when they went to the streets.

This bloody and cruel struggle lasted for a long time. Among them, Wu Sibao, the headmaster under Lin Shiqun, was full of crimes and was full of books.
