Ma Dake was originally a bandit leader. After the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, this guy secretly got involved with the Liu family and suddenly transformed into a security chief in the Jiangbei countryside. Tangcheng targeted Ma Dake because this guy was a gangster.
Bao Zhang did not forget to secretly engage in smuggling business. His arms smuggling business has touched the interests of many arms dealers in the city. Most of the arms dealers in the city have Pao Ge background. Now the Liu family has almost lost power, so Ma Dake
It became a big fat piece of meat.
The search team had been watching Ma Dake for a long time. Zhang Jianghe would never allow anything to go wrong at this time, so when Tang Cheng deliberately mentioned Ma Dake, Zhang Jianghe could only temporarily give up the idea of asking Tang Cheng to collect clues. Zhang Jianghe here
, Tang Cheng was able to cope with it for the time being, but Xu Huanshan did not want to give up his previous idea of asking Tang Cheng for help, so after escaping from danger, he made an appointment with Tang Cheng again the next day.
"Lao Xu, we are old friends. You should know that I am a person who sticks to my word! I only want to have a clear conscience when doing things, but nothing can endanger my family, relatives and friends. This is my bottom line!
"After meeting, Xu Huanshan didn't want to waste any more time, so he chose to go straight to the topic, but Tang Cheng's reaction was still the same as yesterday, when he refused Xu Huanshan's request. Tang Cheng's attitude made Xu Huanshan feel that Tang Cheng was
Choosing Mingzhe to protect himself, seeing the suspicion in Xu Huanshan's eyes, Tang Cheng did not hide his attitude.
"Whether you think I'm cowardly or wise to protect myself, what I want to say is that I'm not yours, and I don't owe you anything!" After saying that, Tang Cheng stood up and was about to leave, but was woken up.
Xu Huanshan, who was overjoyed, stopped him. Xu Huanshan knew that at this time, he must not let Tang Cheng leave, otherwise he would never have a chance to deal with Tang Cheng again. Rather than seeking Tang Cheng's help to get information, Xu Huanshan was more interested in
Tangcheng showed goodwill towards the underground party organization. After all, he had obtained a lot of supplies and arms from Tangcheng. More importantly, Xu Huanshan never gave up lobbying Tangcheng to join the underground party organization. He didn't want to let Tangcheng join the underground party organization because of a small matter.
, making your efforts in vain.
Under Xu Huanshan's strong obstruction, Tang Cheng sat down again, but judging from his expression, he did not want to continue the topic with Xu Huanshan. "You know, I have always wanted to persuade you to join us. The country is weak and needs many people like us.
Young people like you, do something for this country..." Xu Huanshan knew that he could not continue the previous topic, so he immediately changed the topic. Unexpectedly, before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Tang Cheng.
"Old Xu
"Then what do you think I'm doing now? Do you think I'm spending every day living and drinking?" Tang Cheng, who had long seen the other party's intentions, looked at Xu Huanshan without blinking. "Since Nanjing, I have been helping
I am leading the military to hunt down Japanese and puppet spies. So far, at least dozens of Japanese and puppet spies have been directly killed or injured in my hands, not to mention those who have been arrested and imprisoned. Don’t what I have done count as a service to this country?
Doing something?"
Tang Cheng's words made Xu Huanshan speechless. When he first met Tang Cheng in Nandu City, Xu Huanshan already knew that Tang Cheng helped the military commander capture Japanese and puppet spies. After learning that Tang Cheng went south to Shancheng, Xu Huanshan also passed through Shancheng underground.
The party organization investigated the situation of Tang Cheng coming to Shancheng. How could he not know that Tang Cheng came south to Shancheng and had been searching for spies. Therefore, Xu Huanshan was unable to answer Tang Cheng's last rhetorical question.
"Lao Xu, I told you the last time we met! I am not good at doing sophisticated things, especially those things that your underground party does. What I am good at is hunting down Japanese spies, and I
I think the things I do are also helping this country. Why do you have to ask me to join you? If I join you, will I be able to continue to hunt Japanese and puppet spies in the city as I am now?"
Tang Cheng's words caused a look of helplessness on Xu Huanshan's face. Shancheng is now a Kuomintang-controlled area. Even if they cooperate, the underground party forces cannot appear in the open to do things. Once Tang Cheng agrees to join the underground party, all activities will have to be transferred.
Going underground, if Tang Cheng insists on continuing to search for spies in the city, he can only become a two-faced man who is in the Cao camp and his heart is in the Han Dynasty. According to Tang Cheng's character, that is simply impossible.
Seeing the helpless expression on Xu Huanshan's face, Tang Cheng spread his hands towards Xu Huanshan, "Look! I'm afraid you yourself know that there is no such thing as the best of both worlds! My father died in the hands of the island nation's spies, and I
My biggest wish in life is to hunt down Japanese spies as much as possible. Joining you means that I have to give up this wish! If you had to choose, what would you do?"
Yes! If it were you, how would you choose? This problem in Tangcheng really stumped Xu Huanshan. Think carefully about the current situation in Tangcheng
Zai's identity is basically a third party outside the military command and the underground party. Although the search team is officially under the military command, Tangcheng still has the identity of a policeman and can leave the search team at any time. After thinking about it for a while,
Xu Huanshan finally gave up the idea of lobbying Tangcheng to join the underground party organization.
From Xu Huanshan's gradually relaxed expression, Tang Cheng guessed Xu Huanshan's thoughts, and immediately relaxed. "Old Xu, even if I reject your lobbying, we are still friends! Your underground party may not be as good at dealing with Japanese and puppet spies.
It's convenient for me. If you have information and intelligence on the Japanese and puppet spies in the city, you can cooperate with me! You provide relevant information, and I will be responsible for arresting them and providing you with material help afterwards!"
The cooperation model that Tang Cheng mentioned was that when he was in Shanghai, he had cooperated with the underground party organizations in Shanghai City. Moreover, facts have proved that this cooperation model, whether it is Tangcheng or the underground party organizations in Shanghai City, has
Xu Huanshan has benefited from it. As for the cooperation idea proposed by Tangcheng, Xu Huanshan cannot immediately respond. He still needs to discuss with the leadership of the underground party in Shancheng before making a decision.
"Old Xu, let me remind you! You'd better not tell anyone else about my identity! I know that you have insiders in the military and central government, and the military and central government also have insiders in your ranks. I
I don’t want to be an unlucky guy who is accidentally betrayed.” When Tang Cheng said these words, the expression on his face was serious, and Xu Huanshan couldn’t help but pay attention to Tang Cheng’s reminder.
After separating from Xu Huanshan, Tang Cheng did not return to the military camp immediately, but went to the newly built labor camp outside the city. This newly built labor camp with the search team as the main body looked much larger than the previous farm, and the garrison
The regiment invested a lot of manpower. When Tang Cheng arrived at the farm, a patrol team from the defense regiment happened to come from outside. "Captain Tang, why are you free to come here today?" The patrol team leader happened to have met him.
A familiar face in Tangcheng, but Tangcheng couldn't pronounce the other person's name.
Tang Cheng came to the farm just to learn about the current construction status of the farm. According to the previous plan, the construction of this new labor camp should be completed soon. Thanks to the search team's previous cleanup operation in the city, there are already more than 100 people in this new labor camp.
200 gangsters of various colors are being escorted by soldiers from the garrison to build a farm. 200 people are just one person.
The number of people in the company, and seeing that the farm was only half-finished, Tang Cheng wondered whether to launch another crackdown.
While Tang Cheng was standing in the newly built labor camp outside the city, secretly worrying, Xu Huanshan, who had returned to the contact point, was informing his contact person of Tang Cheng's cooperation proposal. "Lao Xie, I think this cooperation proposal is very good.
, at least hunting down the Japanese spies in the city will be of great benefit to us and this country." Xu Huanshan did not mention Tang Cheng's identity, but only relayed Tang Cheng's cooperation suggestions.
"The current situation, although it is cooperation, the Central Military Commission is still eyeing us! Even if we have some information about the Japanese and puppet spies in the city, I am afraid that even if we send these information, the Military Command may not believe us! And a little bit
If we are not careful, the military commander may transfer our situation to the Central Commander-in-Chief, after all, they are of the same faction, and our underground party is the target of their attack and arrest!"
The middle-aged man Xu Huanshan called Lao Xie, although he didn't know the purpose of Xu Huanshan's efforts to promote this kind of cooperation, after thinking about it secretly, he felt that Xu Huanshan was right. Although it was already in the cooperation stage, their underground party
The organization can still only carry out underground activities. Even if they know the situation of the Japanese and puppet spies in the city, they will not be able to arrest these Japanese and puppet spies in a blatant way like the military commander did.
If the person Xu Huanshan mentioned would provide materials in return for the intelligence support provided by the underground party organization after arresting the spies, then their mountain city underground party organization would not actually suffer a loss. "Old Xu, don't be anxious first.
I will convey this matter to my superiors! You also know that this is still a sensitive period, and many things require consideration from all aspects!" Although Lao Xie has already had some thoughts about what Xu Huanshan said, but
The underground party organization has strict procedures and regulations. This matter needs to be discussed by superiors before a decision and reply can be made.
"Lao Xie, hurry up, I'm worried that if we wait too long over there, things will happen again!" Xu Huanshan didn't say much, because he actually couldn't make up his mind. After all, Tang Cheng still had a layer of connection with the military commander.
relationship, but in the end he specifically reminded Lao Xie. At this time, Xu Huanshan did not expect that it was precisely because of his deliberate reminder that the underground party organization in Shancheng noticed Tangcheng. To be precise, they followed the clue and started from there.
