Chapter 266 Strolling in Yu Garden

On July 13, the weather was hot, Qin Di wore a loose gray short-sleeved shirt, black casual trousers, comfortable cloth shoes on his feet, and a wide-edged sun hat on his toe, covering half of his face. He was dressed in an ordinary manner, neither like the upper class in a straight suit nor the hard-working dock worker. At first glance, he was a idle person who was full or someone who came to travel outside.

He crossed the roads and came to the lively Yu Garden.

Since the opening of the Magic City, the Yuyuan area has been very prosperous, and it is still very prosperous until the 21st World. Because its location is so good, not far from the Huangpu River and Nanjing Road.

Qin Di owns a lot of real estate here, and many shops rent his house.

He smiled bitterly in his heart: "These properties...these properties..."

As I walked, I met someone who came to me. The person who came stopped and shouted in surprise: "Sir, I didn't expect to meet you here."

Qin Di looked closely and found that it was Wang Jinyuan who was fished from the Yangtze River by him, so he smiled and said, "What day is today? Why do you have the time to come out?"

Because Wang Jinyuan had an errand in the "pseudo-city government" controlled by the Japanese, he should be busy on weekdays.

Wang Jinyuan whispered: "Sir, I have been transferred to No. 76."

Qin Di raised his eyebrows and said, "Is it a temporary secondment or a formal staff?"

"It's formal and may have to work in it for a while."

"If you are not busy, I'll invite you to have a cup of tea."

"Okay, sir, I'm just about to talk to you."

Qin Di found a teahouse on the street. The one who runs the teahouse was a disciple of the Qing Gang, named "Jiang Shilan".

Jiang Shilan was in his thirties and was Du Yuesheng's eighth apprentice, and was considered the senior brother of Qin Yuankong and Qin Yuanlong. He had met Qin Di in Du Mansion. Although he didn't know that Qin Di was the elder Tianyin of the Qing Gang, he knew that Mr. Du respected him very much, so he was very attentive to him: "Uncle, please come in. There is a elegant seat upstairs, which is very quiet and guaranteed that no one will disturb him."

Qin Di nodded, went straight up the stairs, found a private room to sit down, and thought about this number 76 in his mind.

The so-called No. 76 was a special agent organization established by the Japanese invaders instructed the traitor Ding Mo Estate and Li Shiqun during the War of Resistance. It turned out to be No. 67, Daxi Road (now Yanzhou West Road). Later, due to the increase in personnel and the scope of activities, it moved to No. 76, Jisifeier Road in the spring of 1939.

Subsequently, at the instruction of the Japanese secret service agency, Ding Mo Estate cooperated with the traitor David Wang, and in September of the same year, the secret service headquarters of the secret service committee of the Central Executive Committee of the Wang Puppet Qingbai Party was established, with Ding Mo Estate as the director, Li Shiqun and Tang Huimin as the deputy directors.

From then on, the No. 76 agency became the main place for the politicians of the Wang Puppet Group, and the main place for spies to engage in activities and the devil's cave where the Japanese and puppets massacre the Da Chi people and the anti-Japanese progressives. "No. 76" also became synonymous with the Wang Puppet agents.

Wang Jinyuan and Qin Di exchanged a few words, then whispered: "Mr. Qin, you are my savior. I have to remind you about some things: No. 76 listed you as the number one enemy, and have been sending people to inquire about your secrets, wanting to find an opportunity to assassinate you."

Qin Di said: "Thank you. Do you know why they were assassinating me?"

"This is what the Japanese ordered, because you donated 200 planes to the National Government, which means you are a staunch nationalist. So the Japanese launched two attacks on you, but did not harm you, but instead lost a lot of people. So Yingzuo ordered the Imperial agents to suspend the action and handed the matter over to No. 76. Ding Moe Estate held several meetings and sent people to investigate your whereabouts, wanting to catch you, or kill you, and give the Japanese an explanation."

Qin Di smiled slightly: "I understand, be careful in the future."

To be honest, with his skills, no one can assassinate him. The problem is that if he is assassinated in public and never dies of several shots, then this matter will be strange. He will inevitably reveal his identity as a hidden master, which is not what he wants.

Wang Jinyuan said again: "Mr. Qin, I want to tell you one more thing, because you have the rank of Lieutenant General of the Qingbai Party, you may have contact with the staff of the Military Control Commission. The Military Control Commission's Webmaster Wang has been exposed. No. 76 is preparing to capture him! So you must be careful and don't get too close to him!"

Qin Di said: "I understand, thank you for reminding me. Mr. Wang, you must be careful and be careful to expose your identity!"

Wang Jinyuan thought to himself: "I have never told you who I am, how do you know my identity?"

Qin Di did not reveal it either, just keep a secret of each other.

Wang Jinyuan only sat for more than ten minutes before leaving the teahouse.

Qin Di called Jiang Shilan over and asked, "Your master was forced to leave the Demon City by the Japanese. Who is the decision of the Demon City Qing Gang at the moment?"

Jiang Shilan replied: "It's Mr. Huang, the master."

"The Japanese are not in trouble with the golden banyan?"

"The master pretended to be crazy and tricked the Japanese."

"Is the Japanese so easy to cheat?"

"The master told us that we should not contradict the Japanese on the surface, and we should be careful to restrain everything..."

In history, among the three tycoons of the Qing Gang, Du Yuesheng was inclined to fight against Japan. He mainly did two things. One was to establish an armed guerrilla team of 10,000 people with Dai Li. He paid for 5,000 fast and slow machines and mobilized gangs, workers, students, and unemployed young people to participate. Later, these people died in battle 1,500 people!

The second thing was that he used his identity as "Vice President of the Red Cross" to organize the rescue of injured military and civilians. He rescued more than 40,000 people in the Demon City alone. During the entire War of Resistance Against Japan, the Red Cross rescued more than 2 million people.

Golden Banyan is more inclined to protect himself. He also participated in the early War of Resistance, but it was not as obvious as Du Yuesheng. After the Japanese occupied the Demon Capital, he pretended to be "demental" and was unwilling to serve the Japanese. The Japanese were concerned about his identity and wanted to win him over, so they did not get rid of him.

Zhang Xiaolin turned directly to the Japanese and was shot dead.

Qin Di came out of the teahouse, continued to walk forward, and entered an antique shop called "Jiyue Pavilion".

There are very few people in the store, except for the guys, there are two people, one old and one young. The young man is Zhang Congyu, and the old man is his uncle Pang Laichen.

Pang Laichen is already 70 years old, with white and sparse hair, but his eyebrows are long and thick, with big ears, and looks a bit similar to Maitreya Buddha.

His father Pang Yunliang is one of the "Four Symbols of Nanxun" and his family is very rich.

In the sixth year of Guangxu in the Qing Dynasty, Pang Laichen was a doctoral disciple, and was a doctor of the Ministry of Justice. He was granted a special gift for 100,000 yuan in relief and was given a four-grade Jingtang. He was good at calligraphy, painting, inscriptions and calligraphy in his early years, and often copied famous calligraphy and paintings from Qianlong and Jiaqing periods. Later, he engaged in calligraphy and paintings. Since 1895, he has jointly opened Shijing, Dalun Silk Factory and Tongyi Gong Silk Factory. In addition, he has opened rice shops, sauce gardens, wineries, Chinese medicine shops, pawn shops, money shops and other large and small enterprises in Nanxun, Shaoxing, Suzhou, Hangzhou and other places, and owns a large amount of land and real estate in the above places.

He is the "most famous Chinese calligraphy and painting collector in the world", and contains bronze, porcelain, calligraphy, painting, jade and other cultural relics, especially calligraphy and painting. He has dated Yu Youren, Zhang Daqian, Wu Changshuo and others.

It is said that his collection of paintings include Ni Zan's "Autumn Dew Picture Scroll of Fishing Village", Qian Xuan's "Fuyu Mountain Residence Picture Scroll", Ren Renfa's "Autumn Water Fugu Heron Picture Scroll", Wang Mian's "Ink Sea Chart", Ke Jiusi's "Double Bamboo Picture Scroll", Tang Yin's "Mountain Companion Picture Scroll", Wen Zhengming's "Shihu Qingsheng Picture Scroll", Qiu Ying's "Liuxia Sleeping Qin Picture Scroll"...

After the founding of the People's Republic of China, the descendants of the Pang family donated calligraphy, painting and cultural relics to the museum!
