"Nonsense!" He Tianfeng immediately put his pistol to Huang Jingning's head and said with a murderous look on his face.

"Ah! Sir, calm down! But I know that there are a few families in our village who often have contact with outsiders, but I really don't know whether they are anti-Japanese elements or not."

Huang Jingning did not dare to be negligent and answered casually.

"Go! Find the people from these families for me." He Tianfeng ordered loudly again.

"Yes, yes, sir! Can you please put the gun away first..."

"Stop talking nonsense! Go!"

He Tianfeng, bringing a group of secret agents and escorting Huang Jingning, walked towards the village.

Jiang Yifan also followed with his men.

Although rescue is not possible at this time, at least we can get first-hand information.

Xiongchuan Daihui had no intention of following, but when he saw Jiang Yifan had followed, he also led his men to follow.

Huang Jingning came to the door of a house at the edge of the village and shouted inside:

"Huang Youcai, come out for a moment."

"He's not at home. He went out last night, Village Chief! What do you want to see him about?"

As he was speaking, the gate opened and a hunchbacked old man appeared before him.

Seeing this scene, the hunchbacked old man was stunned in place:

"Village head! What do these people do?"

"Go in and search!" He Tianfeng waved his hand and ordered loudly.

A group of secret agents rushed into the yard and started searching everywhere.

"Village chief! Tell them to stop! Youcai is not at home!" The terrified hunchbacked old man could only look at the village chief Huang Jingning for help and begged.

Huang Jingning also felt bitter and didn't even dare to look at the hunchbacked old man.

"Where did Huang Youcai go last night?" He Tianfeng asked the hunchbacked old man fiercely.

"What do you do? What do you want with my son?"

Hearing this ferocious-looking man asking about his son, the hunchbacked old man looked at He Tianfeng vigilantly and asked.

"Snapped!"

As soon as the hunchbacked old man finished speaking, a spy raised his hand and slapped him in the face:

"Answer the question! Where was your son last night? Who was he with?"

The hunchbacked old man could not withstand such a heavy blow. He staggered and fell to the ground.

When Jiang Yifan saw this scene, he couldn't help but clench his fists secretly.

Kumakawa Daiki went up to the hunchbacked old man and gave him a hard kick, saying, "Tell me now! Otherwise, you'll be dead!"

When the hunchbacked old man heard this, he realized that it was the Japanese, and he quickly said, "Taijun! My son is a good citizen. He may just go out to do some small business to support his family, but he doesn't do anything else!"

At this moment, the spies who had rushed into the courtyard came out one after another and said:

"Report! Nothing was found in the room."

When He Tianfeng heard this, he found nothing again, so he asked again:

"Tell me! Who is your son doing business with? What kind of business is it?"

When the hunchback heard this, he answered casually: "Madam! I am already a jerk, why would I care about these things! But my son is a good man, he will definitely not do anything to harm you. I can guarantee this with my life."

When He Tianfeng heard that the hunchbacked old man was not telling the truth, he raised his hand and pointed the gun at the hunchbacked old man. Jiang Yifan picked up He Tianfeng's pistol.

"boom!"

A gunshot rang out, and the bullet passed through the hunchbacked old man's body. The hunchbacked old man, who fell to the ground, was so frightened that he couldn't recover for a long time.

This also scared He Tianfeng. He looked at Jiang Yifan in astonishment and was speechless.

Xiongchuan Dahui also didn't expect that Jiang Yifan would actually rescue the hunchbacked old man, otherwise, the hunchbacked old man would have already received his lunch box.

Jiang Yifan looked at He Tianfeng and asked, "Do you have any information about anti-Japanese elements?"

He Tianfeng then stopped and answered:

"Report to the Chief! Huang Youcai is the only person in this village who has connections with the anti-Japanese elements."

"Then don't waste time here. When his son comes back, he should report the situation to the village chief as soon as possible. Otherwise, everyone will be dead!"

Jiang Yifan said again.

"Hayi!"

He Tianfeng responded.

The hunchbacked old man saw it and quickly crawled in front of Jiang Yifan, kowtowed and said, "Please rest assured, as soon as my son comes back, I will let him go to the village chief to explain the situation."

"After returning, we must teach him not to be an enemy of the Empire of Japan, but to make friends with it and serve the Empire."

Jiang Yifan looked at the hunchbacked old man and said.

"Yes, yes, yes! I must make him pledge allegiance to the Empire of Japan."

The hunchbacked old man kowtowed repeatedly and answered with gratitude.

"We are not just listening to you, but watching what you do. Take out the food in your home and hand it over to the Imperial Army, and this matter will be over."

Jiang Yifan said again.

"Yes, yes, yes! Everything is up to you, Madam." After saying this, the hunchbacked old man got up from the ground, ran into the house, carried out a bag of grain with difficulty, and placed it in front of Jiang Yifan.

"Remember! When your son comes back, you must ask him to go to the village chief. Do you hear me?"

Jiang Yifan said again.

"Yes, yes, yes!" the hunchbacked old man replied with tears of gratitude.

Afterwards, Jiang Yifan asked people to carry the food back to the village entrance and explained the situation to Commander Songyuan in Japanese.

"I think that if we want to prosper together, we must act like we prosper together. As long as the people don't oppose us, don't unite with the anti-Japanese elements, and boycott us, we should do everything we can to win the hearts of the people instead of chilling their hearts. What do you think, Commander?"

Jiang Yifan said finally.

After listening to Jiang Yifan's story, Song Yuan nodded and said:

"Yoshi! We are also exploring the correct path to clean up the countryside. You can discuss it with Li Qun and Chief Xiong Chuan later."

"Hayi!"

Jiang Yifan bowed to Commander Songyuan and replied.

On the other side, He Tianfeng also reported the situation to Li Qun.

Li Qun hurried over, looked at Song Yuan and Jiang Yifan and asked, "Commander, what should we do next?"

Jiang Yifan looked at Li Qun and answered casually: "We will follow your plan, establish a government, collect food, and this time we will clean up the countryside. We must highlight the concept of common prosperity, win over the hearts of the people, and try to bring the Great Japanese Empire and the people closer together."

"understand!"

Li Qun was somewhat skeptical about Jiang Yifan's attitude, which was completely different from the attitudes of Songyuan and Kumakawa Daiki.

But he didn't think much about it. After all, Shimahashi Shinichi had a lot of ideas and his thoughts were different from everyone else's. It was reasonable. He nodded and answered, then turned to look at Huang Jingning and said:

"You have performed well and have passed the assessment. I will now appoint you as the new village chief of Pailu Village under the rule of the Empire of Japan. Other systems will be announced later. Now go and have the villagers pay grain to the Imperial Army! The amount is tentatively set at 30 kilograms per household."
