Liang Zhongchun's hands shook when he heard this, and he said with an embarrassed expression: "To be fair to Mr. Xiao, although Liang's business is small, there are a lot of people who are looking at this meal, and he can earn some hard-earned money by taking care of it."
Liang Zhongchun no longer talks nonsense for the sake of his brothers at this time. Of course, he will not escape completely. Since he took the line of Mingcheng, he no longer needs to pay attention to the joints that needed to be dealt with before. Although Mingcheng is a
A person wants more but has fewer joints, so he earns more than before.
Li Jie glanced at Liang Zhongchun meaningfully and said lightly: "Oh? Really?" Liang Zhongchun shook his hands when he heard this, and said with an embarrassed look: "To be honest with Mr. Xiao, although Liang's business is small, but staring at
There are a lot of people eating here, so you can earn some hard-earned money by taking care of everything."

Li Jie glanced at Liang Zhongchun meaningfully and said lightly: "Oh? Really?"
This feeling of being looked at was very uncomfortable. Li Jie's plain eyes were full of meaning. Liang Zhongchun felt a chill in his heart and couldn't help but sweat a little.
After a while, Liang Zhongchun could not withstand the pressure and took the lead in breaking the silence.
"Ah, haha, I did make a little money. Is Mr. Xiao also interested in this kind of side business?"
Li Jie smiled slightly: "Director Liang, you won't mind, right?"
Liang Zhongchun said with a smile on the surface: "I don't mind! I don't mind!"
In fact, my heart was bleeding, and then I looked embarrassed: "But Mingcheng, the assistant to Chief Inspector Minglou of the General Administration of Customs, is also involved in this business. I still need to discuss it with him."
Li Jie didn't have much interest in Liang Zhongchun's smuggling business. The reason why he got involved in the smuggling business was that the officials of the new government were desperately trying to make money. By participating, he could better disguise himself, and secondly, he could take advantage of Mingcheng's business.
Lines, any intersections in the future won’t be too abrupt.
"Okay! Then I'll just wait for the good news. Director Liang, I still have something to do, so I won't bother you anymore."
After saying that, Li Jie stood up and left with a suitcase full of US dollars. He paused when he reached the door.
"Director Liang, remember to bury Wang Manchun. Don't just wrap it in a straw mat and bury it. Buy a coffin and ask me to reimburse you for the return expenses."
Liang Zhongchun was startled when he heard this. He didn't expect Li Jie to have such thoughts: "Yes! But the cost of making the coffin does not need to be paid by the chief. At least I am a colleague, and I should be doing these things! Thank you, sir!"
"
With Japan's increasingly severe blockade, the prices of some materials have skyrocketed. In order to supply medicines and firearms, the funds of Shanghai's underground party have been very tight. The royalties for Li Jie's "The Rise of the Great Powers" and "The Chrysanthemum and the Knife", in addition to leaving
Except for the lower part to maintain life, the rest was handed over to the organization, and the 40,000 US dollars bribed by Liang Zhongchun this time was naturally no exception.
When Sun Zhengqing opened his suitcase and saw that it was filled with U.S. dollars, his surprise was palpable: "Comrade Hufeng, this?"
Li Jie explained: "All this money was used by Liang Zhongchun to bribe me and wanted me to let him go. It was all smuggled by him."
Sun Zhengqing had a joyful smile on his face: "This money can be said to be a timely blessing. The sulfa purchased by the Southern Bureau some time ago had an accident during transportation. It happened to be raided by the Japanese. The escort team suffered heavy losses. The purchased
Most of the sulfonamides have been lost. Nowadays, money is really scarce. With this money, sulfonamides are finally available. Comrade Wasp, on behalf of the organization, thank you!"
Li Jie said: "I'm just borrowing flowers to offer to Buddha. By the way, Mr. Sun, I plan to get involved in Liang Zhongchun's smuggling business. Although the money I will share is not much, fortunately it is a stable channel and the water flows smoothly."
considerable."
Sun Zhengqing pondered slightly, the Japanese have very strict control over supplies, but as the saying goes, snakes have their own paths, and rats have their own paths. Even if the Japanese have invested a lot of manpower and material resources in blockade, China is too big, and there are always some places that cannot be controlled.
Control, coupled with the fact that officials of the new government have gone to great lengths to make money, smuggling is also an important channel for the rear to obtain some supplies.
"I think it's okay, but I still need to report it to my superiors. I'll go there myself."
Li Jie nodded. This matter really should not be reported by others, because once the secret is leaked, Li Jie's identity will be exposed.
"Mr. Sun, Wang Manchun has been executed today, and the remaining personnel involved in this operation are basically finished. Number 76 was severely injured after this battle, and only a few people from the operations department are left."
Sun Zhengqing laughed loudly and said: "Okay, okay, No. 76 has done many evil things, why should he be like this? The people participating in this operation are all elite soldiers and generals. Once they leave, our pressure will be much less."
Then the two chatted a few words about the current situation. Li Jie saw that the time was almost up and stood up to leave. At this time, Sun Zhengqing looked embarrassed and hesitated to speak. Li Jie couldn't help but ask.
"What's wrong? Is there anything else Mr. Sun can do?"
Sun Zhengqing was silent for a long time and sighed, then said slowly: "Comrade Hufeng, I plan to apply to return to the border area, alas! It's okay not to say anything!"
Li Jie saw this and asked: "Mr. Sun, what happened?"
Sun Zhengqing gave a wry smile: "Oh, I am indeed a little tired after so many years of lurking."
Sun Zhengqing also knew that such words were unconvincing. After a moment of silence, he continued: "My unlucky son disappeared for no reason some time ago, and there has been no news. At first, I didn't take it seriously. I just thought he was wandering around somewhere again.
Gone, who would have thought, who would have thought, well, it was not until recently that the police came to my door and told me to come and claim the body. It was only then that I knew he had been killed.
I’m not afraid of your jokes. This incident has hit me hard. I have indeed owed him a lot over the years. It’s all my fault for neglecting discipline that caused today’s consequences. If, if I..."
Sun Zhengqing gradually choked up as he spoke, and tears could not stop pouring out.
Li Jie did not regret getting rid of Sun Zumin. When he saw Sun Zhengqing crying, he couldn't help but feel a little moved. He stepped forward and patted his shoulder.
"Mr. Sun, my condolences!"
Sun Zhengqing said with tears in his eyes: "Xiao Tu, I'm sorry, I hope you don't blame me for being a deserter."
Li Jie said: "How come? The border areas also need experienced revolutionary fighters like you. No matter where you are, as long as you can contribute to the anti-Japanese war, you are not considered a deserter."
Sun Zhengqing heard this and murmured: "That's good, that's good."
Li Jie really didn't expect this result, but that's fine, but he doesn't know who will replace Sun Zhengqing after he leaves?
