What does Director Qi want from you? "Hou Nien'en's face changed slightly when he heard this, and he asked in a low voice.
"Nothing." Zhang Muxing grabbed the melon seeds on the table, pinched one and threw it into his mouth. He casually looked around at the situation and said in a slightly proud tone, "Director Qi asked about our current situation with concern and said If you have any difficulties, you can look for him."
With a pop, he spat out the melon seed skin, Zhang Muxing nodded and said with a smile, "They say Director Qi is the great Bodhisattva of our military commander. This is indeed true."
Qi Wugui is Dai's most trusted butler, but he is low-key in everything he does. He does not compete or compete with others. He is also very kind to his colleagues. He has given up the credit to others many times. He is always convenient and has solved problems for his colleagues many times. Many people He was so grateful to him that he was known as the "Great Bodhisattva of Qi" within the military system.
"How much did Director Qi give you?" After hearing this, Hou Nianen glanced at her husband suspiciously and asked immediately.
"No, it's nothing about the money, it's about missing a shadow." Zhang Muxing explained in a panic. Seeing his wife's gloomy face, he wanted to give himself a big mouth, so he could only slap him helplessly, "Five, five hundred French currency." Hou Nianen stretched out his hand.
Zhang Muxing had a grimace on his face, and as soon as he took out his wallet from his pocket, his wallet was snatched away by Hou Nianen like lightning.
Yes, Zhang Muxing has always felt that a woman's hand speed after grabbing a man's wallet is as fast as lightning. Even the three most powerful hands can only be defeated when faced with such a woman.
Seeing that the five hundred French currency was taken away, and even half of the dozens of French currency in his wallet were taken away, Zhang Muxing wanted to die.
Looking at her extremely frustrated husband, Hou Nianen glared at him, snorted, took out another hundred French coins from the confiscated banknotes and handed it to Zhang Muxing, sighing, "Save your money, money is getting less and less now." It’s valuable.”
The purchasing power of one hundred French currency has now been halved compared to two years ago and in the 26th year of the Republic of China. Even the families of mid-level military officials like them are living a tight life.
The most important thing is that they now have no actual positions in Chongqing: the couple had previously served as chief traffic officers at the Hangzhou Station of the Military Command. The head of the Hangzhou Station, Luo Genshao, was afraid of the enemy and fled from Hangzhou to Jinhua without permission. The couple also went to Jinhua under the guise of being ordered to pursue him. The reason for returning to Luo Genshao was to escape to Jinhua.
Dai Chunfeng was furious and ordered Luo Genshao to return to Chongqing to accept his guilt, and sent Mao Shanhong to take over as the head of Hangzhou Station.
Zhang Muxing and his wife were like frightened birds. After seeing Mao Shanhong, they resolutely resigned from the post of chief traffic officer.
Mao Shanhong drove the two people back to Chongqing in anger. And Dai Chunfeng is also very dissatisfied with the couple's greed for life and fear of death. In addition, Chongqing, as the rear area, is overcrowded. Anyone with some connections wants to stay in Chongqing and enjoy the blessings. As the saying goes, there are too many monks and too little food. Zhang Muxing and his wife are now The couple, who can only receive a basic salary and lack various front-line subsidies, are living a tight life.
This is also the reason why the two of them have to come to drink a big bowl of tea now, which can be said to be quite embarrassing.
"Thank you, madam." Zhang Muxing quickly took the wallet back and said happily.
"Tell me honestly, what is Director Qi doing with you?" Hou Nianen took the opportunity to ask.
The couple are basically idle now, and they have no use value. She doesn't believe that Qi Wu will show his kindness for no reason.
Although everyone within the army praised Director Qi as a "great Bodhisattva" who was willing to help others, Hou Nian'en didn't believe it. She believed that "there may be hatred without reason, but there will never be love without reason." If you don't know why the other party suddenly showed kindness, it's just because you are too stupid and haven't discovered the hidden value in yourself.
"Qi Wu asked me something about Hangzhou Station." Zhang Muxing spat out a melon seed peel and said.
He looked around and whispered, "He asked me about He Qichen."
"What? Are you going to attack He Qichen?" Hou Nianen asked, showing a thoughtful expression.
Yes, He Qichen betrayed the country and defected to the Japanese. This person betrayed the military commander and defected to the Japanese six months ago.
To be precise, He Qichen was attracted by his clan uncle He Mi to surrender to the enemy and treason.
He Mi and the Japanese Military Police in Hangzhou
Commander Toshihiko Okada was a Japanese classmate. After Japan occupied Hangzhou, he took the initiative to seek out Toshihiko Okada and defect to the enemy. Because of his relationship with this old classmate, he was highly valued by the Japanese and was directly appointed by the Japanese as the pseudo-mayor of Hangzhou. .
In fact, because of the fact that He Mi, a clan uncle, was the Japanese pseudo-mayor, both Luo Genshao and Zhang Muxing expressed their concerns to the Chongqing headquarters that He Qichen was not suitable to stay and work in the occupied areas of Hangzhou.
However, He Qichen had a deep background, or to put it most directly, he was the talker of the Baoding Department in the Hangzhou Station of the Military Command, and he could not tamper with it without permission.
In this way, He Qichen actually stayed at Hangzhou Station until he was finally lured into treason by He Mi.
What makes people laugh or cry is that just because Luo Genshao is greedy for life and afraid of death, he has always been worried about the hidden danger of He Qichen, so he has been prepared for it. As a result, He Qichen, the leader of the Hangzhou Station Action Team, an important high-level person, did not pay any attention to Hangzhou. The station was dealt a devastating blow.
"Maybe." Zhang Muxing said uncertainly. He thought for a while, "Maybe the boss thinks it's hard to save face?"
In early January, the pseudo-mayor of Hangzhou, He Mi, issued the "No. 1 Order" in the name of "mayor" to impose excessive taxes on the citizens of Hangzhou.
Finally, the God of Death was summoned.
After careful planning, members of the Kuomintang Central Committee's anti-female cadres action team shot He Mi to death in his home in late January.
Yes, it was not the military commander who got rid of He Mi, but the central commander. This was also Xue Yingzhen's proud and successful achievement some time ago.
When Xue Yingzhen met Dai Chunfeng before, he mocked Dai Chunfeng and said, "He Mi and your military commanders can't kill him. We have now eliminated him. He Qichen is a little shrimp. Do you want me, the commander-in-chief, to help you clean up the house?"
This incident was originally a comment made by Xue Yingzhen to ridicule Dai Chunfeng and was kept secret. However, Wang Zhihe, who couldn't bear it and happened to hear the two talking, treated it as a joke and it spread.
"However, my feeling is that Qi Wu seems to be more interested in a secret incident involving He Qichen back then." Zhang Muxing ate a licorice plum, his eyes twinkling.
"What's up?"
"Qi Wu asked me. In the 25th year of the Republic of China, He Qichen sent people to follow Zheng Sanyuan, the Central Military Commission, and later investigated a man who was received by Zheng Sanyuan." Zhang Muxing said, "Qi Wu asked me Do you know the identity of the person He Qichen was secretly investigating at that time?"
"You know?" Hou Nianen asked doubtfully, "Why don't I remember this?"
"You hadn't been transferred to Hangzhou at that time." Zhang Muxing said, "But let's not talk about you. I don't even know about this. He Qichen is a cautious and suspicious person."
"I wish I could know about this, but it's a pity." As he said that, he glanced at his wife, "Now you know why I said that Director Qi is a great Bodhisattva."
Hou Nianen glared at her husband, "It's better not to know. It's not good to get involved in this kind of thing. What if we are sent back to Hangzhou?"
Zhang Muxing looked panicked when he heard this, and nodded repeatedly, "Nian En, you are more thoughtful."
…
No. 21, Masinan Road, where Huliang is being repaired, laughter and laughter can be heard from time to time.
"The taste is okay." Mistress He Xuelin spat out the hairtail fish bones, wiped the corners of her mouth with a handkerchief, and said with a smile, "However, it's still not as delicious as what Ruolan made that day."
"Yes, yes." Xiu Yuman said as she ate at the side, "Now mommy only sees her younger siblings, so how can she have a daughter like me."
"It's good that you know." He Xuelin rolled her eyes at her daughter, served Xiaobao and Bai Ruolan with vegetables, then clapped her hands, stood up and said, "I'm going to see Xiaozhima."
Xiu Yuman helplessly spread his hands towards his younger brother and sister Bai Ruolan. Bai Ruolan pursed her lips and smiled, "Sister Yuman, please hurry up and find a husband. I'm sure my wife will be happy."
Xiu Yuman then went up to tickle Bai Ruolan and signaled her to shut up.
In the study room on the second floor, Cheng Qianfan was playing with an ancient Western gold coin found on Xiu Huoshen's desk, standing behind Xiu Huliang and watching him write.
"On a fishing boat, two children gathered their poles and sat in the boat. It was strange that even if it wasn't raining, they would open their umbrellas, either to cover their heads or not.
Make the wind. Cheng Qianfan softly read out the calligraphy that Xiu Gongshen had just written, and said with admiration, "The iron pen and silver hook make each word precise, and the teacher's handwriting has become even more refined."
As he spoke, he smiled and said, "Teacher is waiting to hold his grandson. I will go downstairs and see Sister Yuman soon and I will ask where my brother-in-law is."
"I'm so thankful that she can find a stable job in peace and quiet." Xiu Gongshen said with a wry smile. Obviously, he did not support Xiu Yuman's journalistic work.
Cheng Qianfan smiled, and his expression became serious and calm.
After a while, Cheng Qianfan added water to the tea cup on the table and said softly, "How could the teacher suddenly be thinking about idle clouds and wild cranes?"
"The world is complicated. If you can't avoid it, you will always be troubled." Xiu Gongshen sighed and shook his head.
"Teacher, just ignore the troublesome people." Cheng Qianfan frowned and said. After a pause, he finally couldn't help it and asked, "Teacher, someone is annoying you..."
"It's impossible to ignore an old friend completely." Xiu Gongshen smiled bitterly, "That's what I came to talk to you about today."
"Old friend?"
"Qin Detai." Xiu Gongshen said in a deep voice. "Mr. Qin?" Cheng Qianfan exclaimed, "He has returned to Shanghai? Does he still dare to return to Shanghai?"
"I don't know if he is in Shanghai or not." Xiu Gongshen shook his head and said, "Someone sent a message asking for my help."
As he said that, Xiu Gongshen couldn't help but scolded, "This old melon head, how can he be so helpful? What a shame."
"Teacher, Mr. Qin is from Chongqing." Cheng Qianfan frowned slightly, showing a cautious and thoughtful look, "Not to mention that the patrol room just arrested a person from the Suhu District of Zhongtong today. I went to Jisifei this morning. No. 76, Erlu, it is said that many people were arrested there."
"The patrol room also arrested someone?" Xiu Gongshen asked in surprise. "Well, the captain of the Shanghai Division Action Team of Zhongtong Suhu District is named Wu Leisheng." Cheng Qianfan said. As he spoke, he sneered, "This person was followed by a person named Mei Wuming. This person doesn't look like him. Good people, it has now been confirmed that this person is the deputy chief of the Suhu District of Zhongtong, his name is Su Chende."
As he said that, he pointed in the direction of Jisi Feier Road, "That Mei Wuming is now in the hands of Li Cuiqun. I suspect that the assassination I encountered last time was instigated by this person."
"Any new clues?" Xiu Gongshen immediately asked with a serious expression. Having learned that Cheng Qianfan's assassination was most likely the work of Zhongtong, Xiu Gongshen was very angry. In private, he often called Xue Yingzhen's people impulsive and brainless idiots.
"Hmm." Cheng Qianfan nodded, "However, I originally planned to interrogate that Wu Leisheng, but he was taken away by President Jin."
As he spoke, Cheng Qianfan couldn't help complaining, "Mr. Jin's attitude towards the Japanese has always been very bad. It's hard to guarantee that his actions will not be considered by the Japanese to shield Japanese haters."
"Old Jin." Xiu Gongshen pondered and sighed, "Someone in their family died at the hands of the Japanese. This is a grudge."
Said, Xiu Gongshen frowned, "That's no wonder." "What?" Cheng Qianfan asked.
"That old guy Xin Detai asked me to help find out the whereabouts of a man named Xu Zhaolin." Xiu Gongshen said with a serious expression, "It seems that this person should be an important figure in the Suhu District of the Central Government."
"Teacher, what are you going to do?" Cheng Qianfan looked at Xiu Gongshen and said with a frown, "Teacher, as far as I know, Li Cuiqun is going crazy to hunt down Zhongtong and his gang. Although teacher is just helping his old friend, but , If you come up to me at this time, you will definitely be misunderstood. It’s like yellow mud falling into your crotch, and you can’t explain it clearly.”
With that said, Cheng Qianfan walked towards the door of the study. His footsteps were deliberately a little heavier, then softer, and then he yawned. At this time, there was a knock on the door of the study.
Cheng Qianfan opened the door of the study room and said, "Sister Yuman." Xiu Yuman held the fruit plate in his hand and said angrily, "Is there any work that we can't discuss in the patrol room? It's been a long time."
As he spoke, he pushed the fruit plate into Cheng Qianfan's hand, "Mommy specially asked me to bring it here."
"Thank you, Master." Cheng Qianfan took the fruit plate and shouted happily downstairs.
Cheng Qianfan narrowed his eyes as he watched Xiu Yuman take a banana from the fruit plate, turn around and go downstairs to leave.
"What's wrong?" Xiu Gongshen's voice came from the study. "Master's wife asked Sister Yuman to bring some fruit." Cheng Qianfan closed the study door and returned to the study with the fruit plate.
"This is a silent protest." Xiu Gongshen said with a smile, "Your wife is urging us to go downstairs."
As he said that, Xiu Gongshen held the toothpick, put a piece of apple into his mouth, clapped his hands and said with a smile, "Eat the fruit, eat the fruit, don't worry about what to do, messy things can kill people."
Cheng Qianfan also smiled and nodded in agreement, and neither of them mentioned the topic just now.
downstairs.
Xiu Yuman felt reassured. If she hadn't been vigilant enough just now and heard Cheng Qianfan's footsteps walking towards the door, she might have been discovered eavesdropping on the conversation in the study.
Then, Xiu Yuman looked up and saw his sister-in-law Bai Ruolan looking over with a smile.
"Sister Yuman." Bai Ruolan greeted, pointing to the corner of Xiu Yuman's mouth.
