Lao Huang was still smoking dully, rubbing the mulberry paper used to wrap medicinal materials in his hands.
After a while, Biaji spit out the cigarette butt, picked up the half bottle of wine on the table, pulled off the rubber bottle cap with a 'pop' sound, and took a few sips.
Then he wiped his mouth and cursed, "Ms. Ce, I drank fake wine yesterday and I have a headache."
As he spoke, he patted his thigh and said, "I have been hunting geese all day long, and I got pecked in the eye by the geese."
Cheng Qianfan laughed loudly and said, "You drank fake wine, and now..."
He pointed to the wine bottle in Lao Huang's hand.
"Fight fire with poison." Lao Huang burped and said, "This good wine, when it gets into the stomach, mixes with the fake wine, the fake wine has a good taste and becomes barely manageable."
Cheng Qianfan looked astonished and had nothing to say. He gave a thumbs up and said, "I am completely impressed."
Lao Huang laughed and scolded the vendors selling fake wine.
The footsteps at the door faded away.
Lao Huang lowered his voice and said, "It's Inspector Zhao. The spikes on his leather shoes were specially made by Lao Huantou in the back alley. The leather they use is special and they make a dull sound when walking."
Cheng Qianfan listened carefully, but found that the footsteps were far away and could not be heard clearly. He decided to study it carefully when he met Shu Li Zhao in the future.
He gave a thumbs up to Lao Huang. Lao Huang could tell who was coming from the sound of footsteps. This was a unique skill. If he could master this skill, it would be quite useful.
Lao Huang understood what Cheng Qianfan meant and shook his head, "Only long-term observation can we grasp the footsteps of familiar people. The actual use is not as great as imagined."
However, it is still useful after all, Cheng Qianfan thought.
"What happened?" Cheng Qianfan asked again.
Perhaps because of the interruption of this incident, Lao Huang's mood had adjusted. He lit a cigarette, took a few puffs, exhaled a puff of smoke, and said lightly, "I saw Chen Xiangjun."
Chen Xiangjun!
Cheng Qianfan was shocked when he heard this name.
Chen Xiangjun was arrested by the Japanese in Hangzhou, and soon betrayed the Party Affairs Investigation Office, defected to the Japanese, and had arrived in Shanghai from Hangzhou. Cheng Qianfan reported to the Yanzhou headquarters via the radio.
Comrade "Farmer" called back and pointed out clearly on this matter:
Chen Xiangjun’s betrayal of our party resulted in the death of many comrades of the Central Special Branch, including Comrade Zhulin, as a shameful traitor.
Now he has betrayed his nation, taken refuge with the Japanese, and become a shameful traitor.
We must wait for the opportunity to root out these traitors who have betrayed their ancestors and betrayed their revolutionary beliefs.
However, Comrade "Nongfu" also emphasized that the telegram order to eradicate Chen Xiangjun was not an order that needed to be implemented immediately. The "French Concession Party Group" had full authority to handle it based on the actual situation.
Or, to sum it up in one sentence:
Chen Xiangjun should be killed, how to kill him, and when to get rid of this traitor. Comrade Huo Miao has full authority to handle it. The headquarters will not interfere or ask.
Cheng Qianfan naturally wanted to kill Chen Xiangjun. This man rebelled against the party and betrayed Comrade "Zhulin". Six of the eight ace masters of the Red Team, including Comrade "Zhulin", were arrested and sacrificed. Chen Xiangjun killed so many comrades. This was a blood feud.
!
However, after receiving a call back from the headquarters, he thought twice and did not tell Lao Huang or Lu Dazhang about Chen Xiangjun's arrival in Shanghai.
Just because Araki Harima was planning to use Chen Xiangjun to catch Wang Kangnian, the 'Chenzhou big fish', he was worried that Lao Huang or Lu Dazhang would lose their composure or reveal their flaws unintentionally.
He had calculated everything, but he had not calculated that Lao Huang would meet Chen Xiangjun by chance.
"Do you know Chen Xiangjun?" Cheng Qianfan asked.
"Did you already know that Chen Xiangjun was in Shanghai?" Lao Huang suddenly looked straight at Cheng Qianfan, with anger in his eyes.
Cheng Qianfan immediately understood how he had exposed his flaw.
He could only smile bitterly and nod, "Yes, I already knew that."
"Why didn't you tell me?" Lao Huang was a little excited.
"You're still drinking! Look at how you look now, you're still drinking!" Cheng Qianfan took the bottle from Lao Huang's hand and said in a low voice, "Your current mood is what I'm worried about."
Lao Huang's wine bottle was taken away.
He stared at Cheng Qianfan angrily.
Finally, he sighed, "Give it to me."
"Drink slowly and under control." Cheng Qianfan said.
"Bring it here." Lao Huang grabbed the wine bottle, took two sips, wiped the corners of his mouth with his sleeves, and shook his head, "Although I admit that what you did is right, I will still be angry."
"I reported Chen Xiangjun's matter to the headquarters." Cheng Qianfan said, "Boss Nong means to get rid of him!"
Old Huang's eyes radiated light.
"Organizational orders, regarding how to get rid of this traitor and when to take action, everything is decided by us." Cheng Qianfan continued, "However, the safety of the party group is the first priority."
"Resolutely implement the organizational decision." Lao Huang said seriously.
Cheng Qianfan saw Lao Huang's mood and his attitude became normal. Then he explained why Chen Xiangjun appeared in Shanghai and Araki Harima's plan to "catching the big fish in Chenzhou".
At the same time, Cheng Qianfan also gave Lao Huang a concise explanation of his previous considerations, as well as his original plan to inform him and Comrade Feiyu of the matter, and formally deploy operational arrangements.
"That's it." Lao Huang nodded, looking surprised and weird, "Araki actually suspected that Wang Kangnian was Chen Zhou, and planned to use Chen Xiangjun to fish. It's really..."
He shook his head repeatedly, trying to find a suitable word to describe it, but for a moment he felt that he was a little short of words.
"I was secretly behind Araki's suspicion of Wang Kangnian." Cheng Qianfan smiled slightly.
Lao Huang laughed loudly.
He knew that despite what Comrade Huo Miao said in an understatement, it would be extremely difficult to actually make the Japanese suspect that a ruthless traitor was a Red Party ace agent.
Knowing requires precise calculation step by step. Even one point more or less will not work. Subtly guide the other party to suspect in the preset direction.
If you want to accomplish this kind of thing, you must be careful, bold, adapt to changes, have a preset mentality, leave no traces, escape decisively, never take the initiative, etc., etc., etc., all are indispensable.
"I apologize for my attitude just now." Lao Huang said sincerely, "Your consideration is reasonable. If I suddenly learn that Chen Xiangjun is in Shanghai, even if I know about Araki's plan, even if I know that I will not act without authorization...
…”
As he spoke, Lao Huang glanced at Cheng Qianfan, "That's not right. If you tell me, there will be no problem."
Cheng Qianfan smiled and said, "I know there will be no problem, and I am willing to believe in your and Feiyu's experience and determination, but for the sake of safety."
Lao Huang was silent. He understood what Cheng Qianfan meant:
for safety!
This sentence is not just talk, it is a lesson of blood and fire.
When it comes to safety, nothing can be done too much.
"You're not afraid that Chen Xiangjun will recognize me and 'Feiyu'." Old Huang said dullly.
"No." Cheng Qianfan shook his head, "I asked the headquarters, and the headquarters made it clear that Chen Xiangjun doesn't know you. This is also the reason why you were able to escape that big roundup. This was stated in the report materials you submitted to the organization.
It’s all clearly written down.”
A smile appeared on Lao Huang's face, a smile from the heart.
Seeing the young and old revolutionary Comrade "Huo Miao" talking seriously and looking at his appearance really made him happy. Comrade "Huo Miao" became more and more like a mature and excellent leader. He has since
Cheng Qianfan vaguely saw the shadow of Comrade 'Zhulin' on his body.
"Comrade 'Zhulin' must be very pleased to see you like this." Lao Huang sighed.
Just this sentence almost made Cheng Qianfan burst into tears.
He turned his head away, wiped the corners of his eyes, and continued to ask the same question.
He continued to explain that it was also by chance that he met Comrade Zhulin walking with a strange comrade on Xiafei Road.
During the whole process, he and Comrade "Zhulin" acted very experienced, without any communication in words or expressions, which was abnormal.
Later, he met Comrade "Zhulin" again. When the two mentioned this matter, Comrade "Zhulin" mentioned it and planned to arrange for that comrade to be offline for Comrade "Yuchang".
In this way, Lao Huang knew that the comrade's name was Chen Xiangjun.
But before Comrade Zhulin could implement the matter, Chen Xiangjun was arrested and rebelled, betraying the entire Central Special Branch Red Team.
It is precisely because of this that Chen Xiangjun was not able to get the opportunity to directly contact the 'fish intestines', which allowed Lao Huang to escape that brutal manhunt.
"Where did you meet Chen Xiangjun?" Cheng Qianfan asked.
"Diswell Road." Old Huang said.
"What are you doing on Disiwei Road?" Cheng Qianfan asked in surprise.
Di Siwei Road is a Japanese concession in the public concession, and is called "a small concession in a big concession" by Shanghainese.
Of course, in terms of treaties and legal provisions, there is no such thing as a Japanese concession. This is all what Shanghai citizens say.
Di Siwei Road and the vicinity of Di Siwei Road, including Xingjiaqiao, are also called "Dongyang Street".
Along the street are two-and-a-half-story small bungalows in typical Oriental style.
On Dongyang Street, at both ends of the Japanese-controlled area, the Japanese opened small gates on both sides of the road where cars were passing for pedestrians to pass through.
If Chinese people enter, they will suffer a lot of humiliation, especially the Japanese carrot heads who will stand at the door and insult the Chinese people, spit on them, and attack Chinese children and the elderly with tiles.
The Chinese people who were insulted and attacked dared not speak out in anger, while the parents of the Japanese carrots laughed proudly and praised their children for their abilities and that they would be the pillars of the Japanese Empire in the future.
However, what the Chinese people hate the most are the Koreans who were also oppressed by the Japanese and should have shared the same hatred as the Chinese.
These Koreans who were colonized and invaded by Japan were the best at pretending to be powerful, and they did all kinds of evil to the Chinese.
So much so that the Chinese did not dare to live near these Koreans and hid far away for fear of encountering unexpected disasters.
…
"Some time ago, I helped a fake foreign devil a little. He came back from Japan and gave me a few bottles of wine." Lao Huang explained.
Cheng Qianfan nodded. He had an impression of this matter. Old Huang had reported to him that this fake foreigner was a Chinese translator for a Japanese company. He had no bad deeds. Cheng Qianfan approved that Old Huang could approach this person.
become friends.
In addition, he sternly pointed out at that time that Lao Huang was strictly prohibited from spreading red ideas to this person and that he must not let the other party doubt his identity.
Lao Huang had nothing to say about this. He was able to survive such a bloody white terror and so many brutal raids because of his caution.
"I was carrying two bottles of sake, and as soon as I left Dee Siwe Road and got on a rickshaw, I saw a car driving into Dee Siwe Road, the window rolled down, and I saw a face." Lao Huang's expression
Silence, the silence is filled with memories, the memories are laced with pain, the pain is laced with hatred, "I will never forget that face, it is Chen Xiangjun."
"Why did Chen Xiangjun appear on Di Siwei Road? I will find a way to find out this matter." Cheng Qianfan thought for a moment and made a decision and issued an order as the leader of the special party group in the French Concession, "Old Huang, you are temporarily
Don't act rashly, this is an organizational order."
"I obey the order of the organization." Lao Huang said solemnly.
"However, there is something that requires you to take action." Cheng Qianfan said.
"What's up?"
"Song Fuguo came to Shanghai from Hong Kong and will arrive in Shanghai to meet me soon." Cheng Qianfan said.
"Chongqing suspects that Gao Qingwu and Mei Shenping have sneaked into Shanghai. They may be negotiating secretly with the Japanese on behalf of Vice President Wang."
"Once the Kuomintang and the Japanese make peace, they will be the first to join forces to attack us." Lao Huang said immediately. This is a man who had eight family members, including his wife, sacrificed by the Kuomintang reactionaries.
The most direct thought of the old red soldier is that he has always maintained a high degree of vigilance and distrust towards Chang Kaishen and the government.
"You are right, this is the worst case scenario." Cheng Qianfan nodded, "However, judging from Chongqing's order, it should be that only Vice President Wang Qianhai was involved, and Principal Chang was opposed to it.
.”
"Only by uniting in the war of resistance, uniting all the forces that can be united, and uniting everyone as one to fight a nation-wide anti-Japanese war, can the Chinese nation be preserved and can we finally defeat the Japanese invaders!" Cheng Qianfan's eyes were firm and his expression was extremely serious.
said.
Now, finding the whereabouts of Gao Qingwu and Mei Shenping and exploring what they are planning with the Japanese is the top priority at the moment. Other things, even the blood feud, can be put aside for the time being.
"What do you need me to do?" Lao Huang asked.
"Spy on me secretly." Cheng Qianfan said with a smile.
…
"Boss." Fan Qi knocked on the door and came in. He pulled the door shut and bolted it.
"What should I say?" Song Fuguo put down the book in his hand, raised the pillow higher, and turned around to ask.
"They are a few merchants from Shandong who are relatively easy to talk to. I told them and they all felt very embarrassed and said they would pay attention to it in the future," Fan Qi said.
The guests in the cabin next door were noisy all day long, which affected Song Fuguo's sleep. Song Fuguo himself suffered from insomnia and needed sleeping pills to fall asleep. However, the journey was dangerous and unpredictable, so he naturally did not dare to take the medicine. He really couldn't bear it.
, so Fan Qi went to talk to his next door neighbor.
"It turns out we are friends from Shandong." Song Fuguo nodded. Shandong people have a forthright temperament, put righteousness first, and are particular about doing things.
At this moment, there was a knock on the door.
