When General Wang heard this, he knew what Xu Dalong meant.
He said angrily: "These gang of agents are so abominable. Brother Dalong, just tell me, how can I help you?"
Xu Dalong said: "Brother, I will take matters into my own hands. When the time comes, big brother, you can just protect me a little."
General Wang nodded and said: "You can do whatever you want. Don't worry, I will take care of it for you if anything happens."
After drinking, General Wang told Gao Yongjin to follow Xu Dalong's arrangements.
After Xu Dalong visited the friends assigned by General Fu, he visited some friends in the Ninth War Zone and other areas. These people all have very high status, at least at the general level, which makes the group of people monitoring his Zhongtong even more confused. Quite a few of Xu Dalong's friends are ones that the Central Government is unwilling to offend.
After finishing these things, Xu Dalong called the military command headquarters. When they heard that Xu Dalong had come to Chongqing, You Yukun, Lin Zhongmin and others were very happy and held a banquet to welcome Xu Dalong.
This morning, Xu Dalong, Wei Monk, and Lin Xueying went out again. This time, the people following them were much more restrained. They had replaced the car that Xu Dalong and others were already familiar with, and arranged another car for secret tracking.
Xu Dalong and others were on guard for a long time and quickly recognized it. When passing by a phone booth, Monk Wei went down to make a call again. This time they drove onto a small street. Just as the car following them passed a street intersection, a military truck rushed out and killed them directly. The car following them was overturned.
The truck obviously did it on purpose. After knocking over the car, it continued forward, pushed the car on the ground for more than ten meters, and then drove away. All four agents in the car were injured, one of them was seriously injured, both legs were broken, and he could only use a wheelchair for the rest of his life.
The people who hit people with a truck were Zhu Guangming and his special operations team members. They were wearing the uniforms of the Guo Army. The license plate number of the military truck was forged, and the Central Government had no clues at all.
After this incident, people from the Central Government knew that Xu Dalong was not easy to mess with, and they did not dare to send anyone to follow him anymore.
After getting rid of the spy's tracking, Xu Dalong's activities became much more convenient.
On this day, Xu Dalong and others went out by car again. While visiting the mall, Xu Dalong mixed in with the crowd and left the mall alone through the side door of the mall.
He called a rickshaw and came to the underground party's secret transportation station.
This is a Chinese medicine shop. The medicine shop is very large. After Xu Dalong walked in, he saw a table in the front hall and an elderly man sitting behind the table.
He is thin and has a long snow-white beard under his chin. He looks quite immortal. His name is Fang Xueru, a famous old Chinese medicine doctor in Chongqing. He was invited by a Chinese medicine shop to sit here for consultation.
Xu Dalong wore an ordinary suit and pretended to be a doctor. He saw three patients queuing in front of him, so he patiently sat on the bench by the door and waited, secretly observing the situation around him.
After 20 minutes, it was finally Xu Dalong's turn, and he stepped forward.
The old Chinese doctor asked in Chongqing dialect: "What's wrong with you?"
Xu Dalong also said in Chongqing dialect: "These days, my waist and knees have been sore and weak, I am also a little dizzy, my back is still aching, and my feet are still numb."
After listening to this, the old Chinese medicine doctor's eyes seemed to light up and he said calmly: "I'll take your pulse."
Xu Dalong stretched out his hand, and Fang Xueru put his index finger and middle finger on his wrist. After a moment, he said: "The heartbeat is very chaotic, three beats fast, two beats slow."
Xu Dalong asked: "What disease do I have? Is it a stroke?"
Fang Xueru stroked his gray beard, shook his head and said, "Sir, there is something strange about your illness. I have never seen it before, so it needs to be considered carefully." After that, he stood up, made a gesture, and said, "Sir, please come in."
After all the codes were matched, Xu Dalong followed Fang Xueru into a door inside the drug store. Behind it was a yard where several workers were processing medicinal materials.
Seeing the old man coming in with Xu Dalong, one of them stood up, took two quick steps, opened the door of a wing room, and invited Xu Dalong and Fang Xueru to go in. He himself stood at the door and watched the surroundings vigilantly.
There was a middle-aged man in a long gown and a pair of glasses in the room, looking at an abacus somewhere.
After hearing the noise, he raised his head and looked at Xu Dalong behind Fang Xueru with some suspicion.
After a moment, a surprise smile appeared on his face, he stood up hurriedly and walked over, stretched out his hand and said enthusiastically: "Hello, Mr. Xu."
A middle-aged man named Zhang Yunpeng is the head of a branch of the Chongqing underground party. He had received instructions from his superiors that Xu Dalong was coming to join them. He had seen Xu Dalong's photo in the newspaper, so he recognized him immediately.
Xu Dalong stepped forward and shook hands with him cordially. Fang Xueru smiled and nodded, then turned and left.
Xu Dalong looked at his back in awe. He was deeply moved that at such an old age, he was still engaged in such dangerous secret work.
After the greetings, Xu Dalong said: "I received instructions from my superiors and came to assist you in your work. If you have any requests, please feel free to ask."
Zhang Yunpeng introduced the whole story.
Chongqing was the capital of the Kuomintang government. It was the political, economic, cultural, and military center during the Anti-Japanese War, and it was also an intelligence center. The underground party has deployed a large number of agents in Chongqing, and these agents belong to different agent systems. The underground party organization led by Zhang Yunpeng is one of them.
Fenghua Trading Company is a liaison station under the underground party organization. Not long ago, it was sabotaged by the Central Unification Chongqing Inspection Office. As a result, four people died on the spot. Seven people were arrested from the trading company. Their underground party identities were not known. exposed.
The Central Unification agents took action against them on the pretext of being suspected of being Japanese spies.
The underground party asked Xu Dalong for help to rescue the seven arrested people.
Zhang Yunpeng said: "Funding for the underground party is very tight. Fenghua Trading Company is one of the important sources of income for the underground party organization. This time it not only caused personal losses, but also serious property losses. All assets were seized by the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China. The authorities detained him, and the funds for the underground party's activities were stretched thin. Now he only relies on this traditional Chinese medicine shop to survive.
Xu Dalong probably understood and asked: "You mean that in fact, the Central Government did not realize your true identity. They just took a fancy to the assets of Fenghua Trading Company and prepared to annex Fenghua Trading on the charge of Japanese spies." Trading firm.”
Zhang Yunpeng nodded and said: "That's what happened. In the name of arresting Japanese spies, the Central Unification Organization often did such things, causing many businessmen's families to die.
But this kind of thing is difficult to solve. As long as it involves Japanese spies, no one wants to get into trouble.
We also entrusted people, but the status and influence were not enough, and the Central Government did not buy it. Mr. Xu has extensive connections in Chongqing, and I would like your help in resolving this matter. "
Xu Dalong nodded and said: "Since the true identity has not been exposed, this matter will be relatively easy. You should be more cautious in your recent activities and don't make things irrelevant. I will go to inquire about the situation first, and then we will discuss how to solve the problem. .”
After the two agreed on their contact information, Xu Dalong said goodbye and left.
After confirming that the underground party identities of those arrested at Fenghua Trading Company were not exposed, Xu Dalong felt much more relaxed. This matter was purely a smuggling case. The purpose of the secret service linking them to collusion with the Japanese and puppets was to annex the assets of Fenghua Trading Company. As for the claim that they are related to the underground party, there is no conclusive evidence. The reason why such rumors can be heard is because the secret service deliberately released it. They know that if it is just a spy case, if no conclusive evidence can be found, or the evidence is unreliable. Fenghua Trading Company also has its own relationship network behind it. They will find various relationships to smooth things over. This matter will be very troublesome. If these people are related to the underground party, those who intervene will feel very afraid, and no one is willing to help.
Since this is the case, the solution is simpler. Xu Dalong decided to use his connections to verify the evidence that the trading company had colluded with the Japanese puppets. Since the evidence was fabricated, there must be flaws.
Xu Dalong and Lin Xueying visited General Wang together. General Wang was very happy and held a family banquet for Xu Dalong and his wife.
After the banquet, Xu Dalong asked General Wang for help. He talked about Fenghua Trading Company and said that his relatives were involved in this case. He wanted to help them get rid of it and asked General Wang for help.
General Wang has heard too much about the secret service's extortion and stealing people's money. He asked Xu Dalong to verify the situation and make sure that this case was not really involved in a Japanese spy case. He would definitely help.
He called Gao Yongjin and asked him to cooperate with Xu Dalong to investigate the matter.
The next morning, Xu Dalong, accompanied by Gao Yongjin, went to Chongqing No. 2 Prison and met those from Fenghua Trading Company.
After inquiring about the relevant situation, Gao Yongjin asked the prison to hold the seven people in solitary confinement and improve their living and dietary conditions. He also told the prison to ensure the safety of these people and that no one could interrogate them without General Wang's order. , let alone disposal, report any situation to him as soon as possible.
General Wang is the commander of the Chongqing Garrison, and Chongqing's military and police are under the jurisdiction of the Chongqing Garrison Command. For the prison, it is both the county magistrate and the county manager, so it cannot afford to offend.
The warden patted his chest and promised that he would make arrangements for the seven people in the prison.
After returning home, Xu Dalong and Lin Xueying analyzed some core issues in the case and decided to ask military commanders to help investigate these key evidences.
Xu Dalong called You Yukun, told him the whole story, and asked him to help investigate the matter.
The Central Government and the Military Command have always had deep conflicts. On the surface, the two sides are in harmony with each other, but privately they are constantly fighting.
Xu Dalong told them that this matter was just for the military commander to investigate and verify the so-called evidence to seize the loopholes of the central commander.
As for how to deal with it in the end, it is up to Xu Dalong himself to take the initiative.
The military commanders are eager to find opportunities to attack the central commanders. You Yukun is well aware of Xu Dalong's connections and influence in Chongqing. If he can provide Xu Dalong with strong evidence, it will be enough to slap the central commanders in the face.
In addition, they have a close relationship with Xu Dalong, so they are willing to help.
You Yukun immediately promised that they would be responsible for investigating the matter.
Needless to say, the military commander is extremely powerful, especially in Chongqing. Just two days later, You Yukun called Xu Dalong, saying that the situation had been clarified, and invited him to meet at the Myers Hotel.
In Room 208 of the Myers Hotel, You Yukun and Lin Zhongmin told Xu Dalong what happened.
Half a month ago, Fenghua Trading Company received a customer from Jiangxi. This person's name is Zhang Yong, the business manager of Jiangxi Hongda Trading Company. He said that they had obtained a batch of tungsten ore and planned to sell it to Fenghua Trading Company. . We have cooperated with this kind of thing many times before, and Fenghua Trading Company didn't think anything of it, and just handled it as normal business. After they received the batch of tungsten ore and paid the payment, they then shipped it to Yunnan, planning to pass it through The Burma Road transports it to Yangon Port.
This is also a normal business process, and there is no problem. However, soon after this batch of goods left Chongqing, it was investigated by the Chongqing Inspection Office of the Central Unification Committee. As a result, a batch of prohibited items and written materials were found from the tungsten mines. Some important information was hidden in these documents. Therefore, even people and goods were detained.
Among the people in charge of transportation, there was a man named Zhou Fengnian. According to his confession, he said that Fenghua Trading Company secretly colluded with the islanders and captured an Englishman. He confessed that he was serving the Japanese special agencies. Here we go. It is confirmed that Fenghua Trading Company is connected with the Japanese special agencies.
Subsequently, Zhongtong's action team arrested people from Fenghua Trading Company.
During the arrest, they deliberately did not reveal Zhongtong's identity. Now is the era of war. Fenghua Trading Company has its own bodyguards and weapons. People in the trading company thought it was a gang robbery, so a gunfight broke out and four people were killed on the spot.
This time Fenghua Trading Company is even more unclear. The Central Committee of the Communist Party of China convicted Fenghua Trading Company of espionage, threw all seven people into prison, and impounded all the assets of Fenghua Trading Company. Among them, three key figures were involved in this case. Among them, Zhang Yong of Jiangxi Hongda Trading Company disappeared after the incident and was convicted of absconding in fear of crime. The man in the transport team committed suicide. As for the British man, in this era, their status was special, and the final result of consular jurisdiction could only be deportation.
