June 23, Wednesday.
After breakfast, Aoyama Xiu Xin drove to the house of Heng Lu Guangnan, the Governor of Hokkaido.
Replacing Fujimoto Takayoshi in Hokkaido was not just about gaining control of the police force; it also required the approval of bureaucrats like Heng Lu Guangnan and Miyashita Hidekatsu.
After all, Fujimoto Takayoshi had been serving the interests of these people, and it was their support that had allowed him to rest easy in Hokkaido.
When he arrived at Heng Lu Guangnan's house, he was still having breakfast.
He did not greet Aoyama Xiu Xin, but continued to enjoy a lavish meal with his family.
And Aoyama Xiu Xin could only stand respectfully by his side, head bowed, knowing that Heng Lu Guangnan was deliberately putting him in his place because no superior likes an unruly subordinate.
