The bodyguard next to Ning Zhiheng is called Masato Kurihara. He is the best Chinese among the many bodyguards and is also a smart one. Ning Zhiheng attaches great importance to him and often asks him to run errands.

Hearing the president's low order, Kurihara Masatake immediately understood and slowly stayed at the end. While everyone was not paying attention, he turned around and followed the diners far away.

Ning Zhiheng and Yamada Noburi continued to go around. Today's schedule is to go to Zhongshan Park.

This is the largest park in Hankou. There are pools and ancient trees in the park. Although the scenery is good, it is obviously a bit dilapidated. Ning Zhiheng took a few steps and lost interest.

After all, it was a war-torn season, and people's livelihood was still withering, so how could there be spare money to maintain these public facilities? It has now become a gathering place for various hawkers and coolies.

Nobure Yamada was also helpless. The Japanese army entered Wuhan and caused great damage. In addition, the economic situation was in a recession, and the market was inevitably depressed.

However, under the courtyard wall of the eastern section of Zhongshan Park, there were many stalls gathered. Ning Zhiheng walked here and couldn't help but lit up his eyes. He smiled and said to Shinryo Yamada, "I just found out that there is a calligraphy, painting and antique market here. After searching for a long time, I finally found it!"

Only then did Yamada Noburi realize that Ning Zhiheng had chosen to come to Zhongshan Park today. He looked around and said, "It turns out that the gentleman likes antique calligraphy and painting!"

At this moment, he couldn't help but curse himself in his heart. This was really negligent. He didn't expect this. As the saying goes, he knew that Mr. Fujiwara likes antiques, so he had already found a few treasures to give them.

When Ning Zhiheng was in Shanghai, he had a hobby of collecting antiques. He had excellent eyesight and was often able to buy good items. Although he was given to Deputy Director Huang in the end, he also enjoyed the fun.

"When I was in Shanghai, I visited all the antique calligraphy and painting shops. Wuhan is a famous city for thousands of years. There must be a lot of antique treasures left behind. You must take a good look."

The antique stalls here seem more casual, with various calligraphy and painting stalls and antique stalls mixed in decoration. Ning Zhiheng walked through the scene with great enthusiasm, Yamada Nobure followed closely, and other bodyguards and agents gradually dispersed.

Wuhan City has a very long history and many treasures are circulated among the people. Ning Zhiheng carefully selected it for a long time and finally selected a fine official kiln from the Yongle period of the Ming Dynasty, a fish basket.

The blue and white porcelain of the Ming Dynasty has always been famous for its simplicity and elegant shapes, crystal clear and colorful glaze colors, and colorful patterns.

This fish basket with tangled branches is straight, flat and round belly, and is decorated with blue and white patterns. The heart is decorated with chrysanthemum patterns, the shoulder is decorated with diamonds, ring patterns, and the belly is decorated with tangled branches. The three layers of patterns are separated by blue and white lines, which looks like a fish basket. The form is simple and the lines are round, which is quite popular with Ning Zhiheng. It seems that this trip is worth this time.

The stall owner was an old man in his early fifties. Seeing Ning Zhiheng holding this tangled flower-patterned fish basket, he stretched out his thumb and kept praising: "Sir, you have such a good eye. This fish basket is a fine product of official kiln porcelain in the Ming Dynasty. This is the best item on my stall."

Ning Zhiheng looked at the stall owner and asked with a smile: "There are not many good things in Wuhan City! I have been watching here for a long time, and this object can still be seen."

When the stall owner heard that Ning Zhiheng's accent was different. Not only was he not a local, but he also seemed a little fluent in Chinese. When he saw the person behind him, he immediately realized that this person was actually a Japanese. His face changed and his tone became a little cold. He said, "There are not many good things here, and there are chaos. Even if there are really good things, they are stolen."

Hearing the bad tone of the stall owner, Yamada Noburi was immediately angry. He was afraid that Ning Zhiheng would be unhappy, so he stepped forward, but was stopped by Ning Zhiheng.

Ning Zhiheng didn't care about the stall owner's attitude, and he secretly praised the stall owner for being a little bit arrogant. He turned around and asked with a smile: "Then how much is this fish basket?"

The stall owner was originally trying for a moment. Seeing Yamada Nobure's face was not good, he was afraid of causing trouble. These Japanese people were extremely arrogant in Wuhan and could not save their lives at any time. So he let out a long sigh and replied lightly: "Eight hundred oceans."

Ning Zhiheng was satisfied when he heard this. The price was not high in Shanghai, but it seemed a lot higher in Wuhan. However, he admired the character of the stall owner very much and nodded and said, "Okay, it's at this price!"

As soon as this statement was made, the stall owner suddenly felt a little regretful. His offer was much more than the original one, but he didn't expect that the other party would not even pay it back. If he had known that this Japanese was a sucker, he would have just asked for more.

Ning Zhiheng had only US dollars on his body. After paying the money, he put the fish basket in his heart. He was very happy. This fish basket in his tangled pattern was indeed a fine official kiln fired in Jingdezhen of the Ming Dynasty. Although the number of blue and white porcelains in the Ming Dynasty was relatively large, there were indeed rare fine products like this.

Yamada Noburi looked at Ning Zhiheng's face full of joy and said in Japanese: "Sir, if you like these antiques, I will just order these things to be put away. Wuhan City is so big, there should be such a shopping and sale place, which will definitely satisfy you, and there is no need to spend this money."

Ning Zhiheng turned to look at Noburi Yamada, and also said with a smile: "Yamada, the greatest pleasure in collecting antiques and antiques is not to have it, but more importantly, the process of collecting. With his own eyesight, he spends the smallest price to obtain his favorite items. Each process is a story, and he gains great happiness and satisfaction from it. The fun here is not worthy of being told by outsiders! Haha!"

Suddenly, Ning Zhiheng thought of something and continued: "Don't disturb these vendors, don't do anything about killing chickens and retrieving eggs, otherwise it will be difficult to find high-quality products in this market in the future."

"Hi Yi!"

Yamada Noburi really had this plan in his mind. Ning Zhiheng pointed out what he thought, and immediately nodded and promised not to target these antique vendors.

So Ning Zhiheng then searched around the stall. Although there were many stalls here, it was difficult to find good things. However, Ning Zhiheng enjoyed these processes until he did not see the appropriate antique porcelain, so he turned to look at the calligraphy and painting stalls. He was also very knowledgeable about calligraphy and painting, and his preference was no less than antique cultural relics.

Although there were fake antique calligraphy and paintings of this period, their old-fashioned technology was relatively backward. Ning Zhiheng's accurate eyesight could not be hidden from his eyes. Finally, he received a famous calligraphy and painting from the Ming Dynasty, and then he returned home with great pleasure.

After traveling on this day, I felt quite tired. Noburi Yamada sent Ning Zhiheng back to the villa before he returned to his home to rest.

At this moment, someone came to visit. It was Ma Yaowu, director of the Wuhan Police General Administration.

Before the Japanese arrived, Ma Yaowu was originally just the director of a police branch in Wuchang Town, Wuhan City. Later, after the Wuhan Battle, several senior police officials ranked above him all evacuated Wuhan with their families. Only he stayed and was finally attracted by the head of the Special High School Section Noburi Yamada and was promoted to the position of director of the Wuhan Police General Administration.

So he considered himself a lackey of Yamada Nobure, and was very loyal to the new master. All kinds of filial piety are naturally indispensable. This time, of course, he also came to pay a visit with a great gift.

The servant took Ma Yaowu to the living room to wait. Noburi Yamada changed into a home kimono and walked slowly into the living room with wooden clogs.

Ma Yaowu quickly stood up and bowed respectfully. Noburi Yamada nodded and said, and the two of them sat opposite each other.

Yamada Nobure asked lightly: "Masang, is there anything happening today?"

Ma Yaowu hurriedly took an envelope and respectfully submitted it to Noburi Yamada, and smiled flatteringly: "Secretary, this is our search for the anti-Japanese element Chai Guoan's wealth, industry, shops, etc. I have already exchanged it for promissory notes at Zhengjin Bank. I wonder if you are satisfied or not?"

Ma Yaowu is an old gangster who has been through the market for a long time. He has some means of doing things. Of course, he dare not eat alone. After contacting the Japanese, he soon discovered that these seemingly old-fashioned and rigorous Japanese were actually no different from those corrupt officials of the National Party in the past. They were nothing more than money and power. Therefore, Ma Yaowu was willing to invest in his immediate boss Nobure Yamada and the effect was excellent.

Moreover, this time he embezzled Chai Guoan's wealth, but only part of it was given to Yamada Nobure, and most of the benefits were still in his pocket.

Noburi Yamada picked up the envelope and opened it. The amount on it really made him very satisfied. In fact, Noburi Yamada knew some of Ma Yaowu's tricks, but Ma Yaowu made money for him, and the oppressed people were all Chinese. Noburi Yamada didn't care how despicable his methods were. He was interested in the result.

The result was that he gained real benefits. Chinese citizens became afraid because of their harsh means. In the end, this evil man even let Ma Yaowu, a traitor, do it, so why not do it!
