Lost and Spy

Chapter 2197 Inside the Sakura Pavilion
There are so many entertainment venues in Shanghai, and the entertainment is novel and unique, which deserves to be the most in the country.

The time-honored one is the Paramount Ballroom.

That's where trendy Shanghainese flock to.

Even when the war broke out in Songhu and the Japanese army entered the concession, Paramount did not stop operating for a day.

The newer one belongs to the "Sakura Pavilion".

This is the gold selling cave opened by the Japanese after the Japanese army completely controlled the concession.

This "Cherry Blossom Pavilion" is further divided into the Inner Cherry Blossom Pavilion and the Outer Cherry Blossom Pavilion.

The Outer Cherry Blossom Pavilion is called "Oriental Mansion" by Shanghainese.

This is exclusively for wealthy Chinese.

Here, there are a large number of North Korean women receiving guests.

Rich people naturally pay attention to novelty.

Hearing that it was a woman from North Korea, she naturally felt itchy, so she wanted to try something new no matter what.

Therefore, since the first day of opening, "Oriental Mansion" has received an endless stream of customers.

Up to now, even if you are negotiating an important business, if you don't invite guests to the "Oriental Mansion", it will appear that you have no strength.

Needless to say, the consumption here is so high.

People in Shanghai say that Dongyang Chiguo is really bad, and the Dongyang Chiguo in Dongyang Mansion is so bad that it oozes pus.

How bad is it?
The price of goods in Dongyang Mansion is extremely high, and there are not only gambling, opium, but also heroin.

When staying overnight, there are special luxury rooms, and the price is naturally staggering.

A small boss with less strength invites guests for the first time, and his purse is empty before spending much.

What should I do if I have no money?
You can't take the guests with you, can you?

It doesn't matter, at this time, someone will naturally call you out quietly and lend you money.

The interest rate is naturally astonishingly high.

Once you borrow money for the sake of face, wait for the family to go bankrupt.

What's even more wicked is that those North Korean women who accompany the wine are also trying their best to instigate you to eat something called "Gongrong Fan".

What is a co-prosperity fan?That's heroin.

The first two meals were free of charge.

When you become addicted, then I'm sorry, and you have to pay for it again.

The drug business in Shanghai is monopolized by the Japanese.

Especially this high-purity drug, if you don’t ask the Japanese to buy it, where can you get it?
A good family has been broken since then.

In fact, the ones who really do these immoral things are not all those Dongyang red guys, but No. 76.

The number 76 is in charge of deception, extortion, and death of children and grandchildren.

They lend usury, get heroin from the Japanese, and sell it to the Chinese.

Seventy percent of the money earned out of conscience was handed over to the Japanese.

I don't know how many families have suffered.

As for the Inner Cherry Blossom Pavilion, Shanghainese secretly call it "Devil's Nest".

This place is only open to Japanese people, and it uses pure Japanese geisha and high-quality Korean women.

Among Chinese people, even a senior traitor like Li Shiqun has only been there once.

The person in charge of the entire Sakura Pavilion is former Japanese Army Nakasagawa Kubo.

He was injured in the war and limped a leg, so he was ordered to manage the Sakura House.

Kawakubo was really not happy at first, but after a long time, he fell in love with this "career" deeply.

He likes to see the Sakura Pavilion packed to capacity.

I prefer to see the real gold and silver flowing in every day.

All this money will continue to support the empire's jihad!
"Your Mightiness."

Yoshigen Ichiro, the assistant manager of the Sakura Pavilion, came over: "There is a customer, I forgot to bring the money."

"Where is the guest?"

"It's in the Cherry Blossom Pavilion."

"It's like this again." Kawakubo frowned: "It's really embarrassing to the empire, check if there is anything valuable on his body, ask him for his address, ask him to write an IOU, and he is not allowed to appear in the Sakura Pavilion in the future gone."

The more famous the Sakura Pavilion is, the more people come.

Those Japanese wanderers also came here admiringly.

The problem is, these people don't have much money in their pockets, how can they afford to spend in such a place?

What to do in this situation?
What can I do!
They were all Japanese, and Kawakubo had no choice but to confiscate as much valuables as possible from the other party, and then ban him from entering the Sakura Pavilion forever.

It wasn't that Kawakubo was sincerely "kind", but that this gave him the opportunity to spend money. The other party obviously spent so much money, but he could double the deficit and report it to the higher authorities.

The money naturally fell into his pocket.

So sometimes, knowing that the people who came had no money in their pockets, Yoshigen Ichiro, who was in charge of the business, would turn a blind eye to Kawakubo's hints.

"This guest is well-dressed." Unexpectedly, Yoshigen Ichiro said, "I don't look like I have no money, and he said to mortgage this thing here, and get the money back to redeem it tomorrow."

With that said, he handed the things in his hand to Kawakubo.

Kawakubo took it and only glanced at it, his face changed drastically.

There is nothing unusual about things, it is "Oshou".

The so-called Omori is the Japanese peace talisman.

However, there is a clear chrysanthemum pattern on this imperial guard!
Moreover, the chrysanthemum pattern has fourteen petals!
Japanese imperial family, chrysanthemum emblem!
Sixteen petals represent the Japanese royal family, emperor and family!
The fourteen petals represent members of the royal family!

Kawakubo was really flustered: "Where is he? Come on, take me there."

When he saw this guest, he looked very young, with a delicate mustache and glasses.

Moreover, his eyeballs are somewhat blue.

According to the Japanese, those who have such pupils are called "demon pupils", and they are either very noble or strange.

This statement exists in almost every country.

For example, the Habsburg family, in order to ensure the purity of blood, all married close relatives, and all generations were full of shoehorn faces.

Not only that, but they are also accompanied by deformed jaws, short stature, mental retardation, and disabilities.

But in their view, this is a noble symbol of the royal family.

I don't know what kind of thinking this is.

Seeing this young man, Kawakubo really dared to neglect: "Would you like to ask your Excellency?"

The young man looked very kind and smiled slightly:
"Himura Kenshin, please give me more advice!"

He said "Please advise me more", but his body sat there motionless, with a natural arrogance spontaneously born.

This guarantees Kawahisa the first feeling of being very noble.

"It is the greatest honor for all the staff of the Cherry Blossom Pavilion to be here, His Majesty Fei Cun."

Kawakubo's attitude became more and more respectful: "This place was originally set up for the people of the empire. Since you are inconvenient for a while, please allow me to entertain you. I absolutely cannot accept this."

He politely placed Oshou in front of the guests.

Fei Cun Jianxin said with a faint smile: "I have heard the name of the Cherry Blossom House for a long time, so I took the liberty to come here today, but forgot to bring the money. It is very rude. Leave the things here, and I will come to pick them up tomorrow. Please don't be polite."
