Traveling through the Republic of China to become a special agent, the system is very easy for me

Fu Quan'an was somewhat pleased to see that his words had aroused Zhang Shicheng's interest, and he said:

"You also know that the assassination attempt on me and the Japanese advisor at the city hall gate was done by the military agents of the Shancheng government. I was lucky enough to survive, but the Japanese advisor was unfortunately killed."

"I know about this, and it's really sad."

Zhang Shicheng nodded and thought, does this have anything to do with me becoming the minister?

"I will never let this matter go, not to mention the Japanese. If the Shancheng government doesn't let me off, I will never let the Shancheng government off.

I was just telling you about the vacancy of the Minister of Justice, and suddenly I had an idea. Not only can I strike a blow to the Yamashiro government and avenge my conflict with the Japanese, but I can also help you become the Minister of Justice. It's like killing two birds with one stone.

But I need your help.”

"How can I help you? I'd like to know."

Zhang Shicheng became even more curious. To attack the Shancheng government, one could only attack it from the military and economic aspects. How could he help?

"As you know, before the war, the Shancheng government signed a judicial agreement with the concession authorities, enjoying the judicial jurisdiction of the concessions, and established the Second Branch of the Jiangsu High Court in the International Settlement and the Third Branch of the Jiangsu High Court in the French Concession.

The Shancheng government is in a remote corner and still exercises judicial power over the concession through these two courts. The new government has been established for so long, and Shanghai is under the jurisdiction of the new government, but the Shancheng government still exercises jurisdiction over the Shanghai concession. Isn't this a strange thing?

It is unbearable! "

Fu Quan'an felt that this was a bit harsh, and immediately continued:

"Of course this is not your responsibility. After all, you are the deputy minister. This has a lot to do with the previous minister. This is obviously inaction. I heard that the Japanese are very dissatisfied."

When Zhang Shicheng heard that the Japanese were dissatisfied, he became a little nervous and said:

"In fact, I talked about this with the minister before he died, but he didn't take it seriously."

In fact, Zhang Shicheng himself knew very well that he had never said anything about this. Anyway, the minister was already dead, so it didn't matter what he said. There would be no evidence, so as long as he didn't have to bear the responsibility, it would be fine.

Fu Quan'an nodded and said:

"Minister Zhang is a man who understands the big picture. Now that you are in charge of the Ministry of Justice, you can take this opportunity to have the Ministry of Justice negotiate with the concession authorities and take back the judicial jurisdiction.

And I think you should go in person to negotiate with the concession authorities, and our municipal government will assist you.

After all, you are a heavyweight figure with high status, representing the Reform Government, which has the support of the Japanese. This will attract the attention of the concession authorities and make negotiations more likely to succeed.

The issue of changing the flag of the concession is a good example. As soon as Minister Chen Lu represented the Reform Government and negotiated with the consuls of Britain, the United States and France, the three countries agreed to change the flag of the concession.

You personally stepped forward to facilitate the reclaiming of judicial jurisdiction, so you must have made great contributions. The Japanese will certainly admire you and will certainly entrust you with important tasks. Why worry that the position of minister will not be yours?

Minister Zhang, do you think I am right? "

The reason why Fu Quan'an wanted Zhang Shicheng to come forward was not as nice as he said, but to give Zhang Shicheng advice and consider his future.

What he was thinking was that his taking back of the judicial power of the concession and the police power in the area of ​​road construction beyond the boundary had dealt a severe blow to the Shancheng government. Although he had vented his anger, there was no doubt that he would be retaliated by the Shancheng government.

If he personally went to negotiate these two matters, it might give the Military Intelligence Bureau agents an opportunity to assassinate him, and his fate would be the same as Chen Lu's. He would never take this risk.

Zhang Shicheng is the perfect candidate. Firstly, this is the Ministry of Justice's business. Secondly, Zhang Shicheng also needs this credit in order to become the minister. How could he not agree?

It is most appropriate to let Zhang Shicheng take this risk. If he succeeds, he will also get credit and vent his anger. If he fails, he will not lose anything. At most, Zhang Shicheng will die.

And your life safety is guaranteed, there is no problem at all. This is a business that is sure to make money, so why not do it!

Fu Quan'an was naturally very proud of his plan. He didn't believe that Zhang Shicheng would not agree, unless he didn't want to be the minister, which was totally impossible.

He even thought that if he were Zhang Shicheng, he would probably agree without hesitation. After all, the position of minister was too tempting.

When Yuan Ye heard this, he immediately understood Fu Quan'an's intention, which was really insidious and cunning, with evil intentions.

I can't help but admire that Fu Quan'an is such a shrewd man. It seems that it is impossible to find an opportunity to assassinate him when Fu Quan'an goes to the concession to negotiate. Now it depends on what Zhang Shicheng says. Will he agree?

Yuan Ye thought that there was a great possibility that Zhang Shicheng would agree. This was the first time he met Zhang Shicheng. He was only in his thirties or less than forty years old, and had the demeanor of a complete intellectual. He had spent more years studying than working as an official. Whether in terms of experience or knowledge, how could he compare to Fu Quan'an, an old hand?

What's more, he was blinded by greed and was obsessed with climbing up the ladder. How could he not take the bait that Fu Quan'an had set for him?

Sure enough, Zhang Shicheng said:

"Mayor Fu, you are right and thoughtful. I have decided to personally negotiate with the concession authorities to facilitate this matter. It seems that my trip to Shanghai this time was not in vain!"

Zhang Shicheng was not unaware of the risks. After all, Chen Lu was assassinated by a Military Intelligence Bureau agent during negotiations with the Shanghai Concession authorities. This was a lesson not far away.

But thinking that the minister's position was beckoning to him, he did not want to miss this opportunity and let the position fall into the hands of others, as it would be too late to regret it then.

Instead of doing this, it is better to take a risk. After all, wealth and honor are achieved through risk. However, the risk must be minimized, which requires Fu Quan'an to do a good job of security, and it would be best if it is foolproof.

So he went on to say:

"Mayor Fu, you also know about Minister Chen Lu's unfortunate experience. I certainly don't want the same thing to happen to me. I hope my safety can be guaranteed by you, Mayor Fu."

Fu Quan'an saw that Zhang Shicheng was a little worried, so he decided to dispel his concerns. He said confidently:

"Minister Zhang, I will be responsible for your security. I will ensure your safety. I will also ask the Special High Police and the Japanese Military Police for assistance. You can rest assured.

Minister Chen Lu was killed because there were traitors from the Military Control Commission in the city government, Li Chengzong and Qian Hao. Now these two people have been exposed and escaped.

Although we didn't catch these two people, the threat of the inner ghost has been eliminated. We will keep your itinerary strictly confidential. The military agents will have no way to take action against you if they don't get the information about your trip, so you don't have to worry about your safety at all."
