It was late at night, and there were only a few lights left in the huge Ming Mansion. Mingcheng returned to Ming Mansion with a slightly tired look, but his tired face could not hide the smile between his eyebrows at all.
In the study, Minglou saw Mingcheng coming back, put down the book in his hand and said, "A-Cheng, how are you? Is there any news from No. 76?"
With a smile on his face, Mingcheng stepped forward and whispered: "Brother, Liang Zhongchun just told me that Wang Manchun has been executed by Xiao Tu today."
When Ming Lou heard the news of Wang Manchun's death, he couldn't help but fell into deep thought. The two were in love when they were young, but unfortunately the hatred between their families was too deep. After returning to China, he found that his former school girl had completely changed and was no longer the innocent person she was when she was young. Looking back
Looking at each other, the two of them were already strangers.
Even though he had been prepared for it long ago, when he heard the news of Wang Manchun's death, he still couldn't help but feel a sense of sourness in his heart. Minglou was a determined person after all, and that sadness was quickly suppressed.
"What about the others?"
Mingcheng had been paying attention to Minglou, and he caught the flash of compassion just now. When Minglou asked about other things, he obviously adjusted his mood.
"Brother, today on the 76th, Xiao Tu proposed to join Liang Zhongchun's smuggling business. Do you want to stop his behavior through internal channels? After all, all the income is used to purchase medicines and weapons."
The smuggling business is one of the sources of wealth for the underground party in Shanghai. Li Jie, an outsider who entered rashly, must have wanted a share of the pie. But where did he get the news? Although the relationship between Mingcheng and Liang Zhongchun is not top secret,
But it is not known to everyone. If the order is given through internal channels of the military command, will it arouse his suspicion or even backlash?
Minglou thought for a moment and said, "Let's forget it. It's better not to create any complications when we are still unclear about our enemy."
Mingcheng nodded after hearing this. The two of them had always had doubts about Li Jie's identity. Based on the information from Shancheng and Shencheng's underground party, they found that the information provided by the Wasp overlapped too much with Li Jie's.
Li Jie is involved in top-secret information, but the identity of Wasp is top-secret, and even No. 2 does not know his true identity.
Mingcheng picked up the phone on the table and dialed Liang Zhongchun: "Director Liang, I agree to that matter. After all, he is your boss now, and I won't make it difficult for you, brother."
Liang Zhongchun's slightly urgent voice came from the microphone: "Brother Cheng, thank you for your understanding. Alas, it's hard for me too. I can't afford to offend anyone."
"Haha, Director Liang was joking, so let's do this for now. I have something to do here, so I'm going to hang up."
Mingcheng hung up the phone and said with a smile: "This old fox, do you think I don't know about his little tricks and tampering with the accounts without permission?"
Minglou waved his hand: "You have to spare others and spare them. If the water is clear, there will be no fish. Besides, he also made a lot of efforts to rescue Mingtai this time. By the way, you told me before that he
Do you know the identity of your military commander?"
Mingcheng curled his lips: "I didn't say it explicitly, I just hinted it. If someone like him doesn't reveal it properly, it will be difficult to win his trust."
"Do you think it is possible for Liang Zhongchun to instigate rebellion?"
In Mingcheng's eyes, Liang Zhongchun is a refined egoist who is self-centered. The country is not important in his eyes. Liang Zhongchun only cares about who can bring him greater benefits, as long as he can satisfy him.
He doesn't care which government or party you belong to, he is a typical faggot.
Mingcheng pondered for a moment and shook his head: "It's difficult. It's unrealistic to want him to defect based on the current situation on the frontal battlefield. However, times have changed. Once the Japanese army suffers a major defeat on the frontal battlefield, the Nationalist Government will turn from passivity to initiative and instigate rebellion.
It's easy for him."
Hearing this, Minglou nodded to indicate that he understood. Instigating Liang Zhongchun was not a temporary success, so he did not discuss this topic further.
"A Cheng, the death plan is basically over. Mingtai should send him out of Shencheng as soon as possible. After all, if he stays for one more day, he will be exposed to more risks. You can talk to Uncle Li later and make arrangements as soon as possible."
Mingtai's escape plan has already been arranged by Minglou. Mingtai's identity as a military commander is still retained. On the surface, he is a spy for the military commander to infiltrate the Red Party. In fact, he is a spy planted by the Red Party in the military commander. Mingcheng has been with Mingtai since he was a child.
Growing up together, Mingtai has always been a child in his eyes. Mingcheng fully understands the pain of double agents, but fortunately, most of the military commanders who had good relations with Mingtai are dead, and the bond between them is very shallow.
"Brother, Mingtai is still so young, is it appropriate for him to perform such a task?"
Minglou frowned: "After what happened this time, he is no longer a child. We protected him too well before. The young eagle will one day spread its wings and fly high. There is no way to stop it."
Li Jie put down the phone and his mind was racing with thoughts. Liang Zhongchun just called him and asked him to meet at the Dexing Pavilion tomorrow. Mingcheng would also be there. How to split the smuggling business would depend on how the meeting would be discussed tomorrow. Li Jie didn't care.
Now what we are thinking about is how to face Mingcheng. Their situations are similar. They are both triple spies. The difference is that they work for the new government and they work for the Japanese.
With the advantage of foresight, Li Jie knew the situation in Shencheng better than Minglou and Mingcheng.
The next day, when Li Jie rushed to the Dexing Hall, Liang Zhongchun and Mingcheng had already arrived. After some greetings, Liang Zhongchun took the lead.
"Sir Xiao, you also know the purpose of coming today. Let's open the skylight and make a clear statement. You can get 30% of the profit from this business. Brother Acheng also has 30%, and I have 40%. It is said to be 40%, but in fact, after deducting the cost, there is at most 20%.
Cheng, do you think?"
Li Jie looked at Liang Zhongchun's expression of pain and secretly laughed in his heart. This old fox is really full of tricks. He and Mingcheng are not the actual handlers. It's not you who has the final say on the final profit. Although he doesn't know the specific amount, Li Jie can't measure it.
Dare to be fake and do it too outrageously.
Li Jie picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip, and said calmly: "Well, it's very reasonable. I have no objection. Mr. Ming, what do you mean?"
Mingcheng saw Li Jie turning his gaze towards him and said, "Of course I have no objection, but I didn't expect that Mr. Xiao would actually value such a small gain."
Li Jie shook his head: "Mr. Ming's words are wrong. What is the purpose of life? It's nothing more than power, fame, and money. We are all in the same trench. I hope we can help each other in the future!"
Mingcheng was surprised when he felt that Li Jie's words meant something, but he still said calmly on the surface: "Mr. Xiao is too polite. Ming is of low status and dare not compare himself to Mr. Xiao."
Liang Zhongchun said from the side: "Brother Acheng, this is your fault. No one in the new government knows the relationship between you and Chief Ming. We are all eating from the same field. Chief Xiao is right. In the future,
The three of us still need to be in the same boat."
