Xu Enzeng!
When he heard this name, Meng Shaoyuan was really confused.
He is the section chief of the Zhongtong Investigation Section. He is responsible for real-power tasks and his status is the same as that of Dai Li.
What about yourself?
Just a little secret agent.
How could he think of assassinating himself?
Is it just because of Jiro Matsumoto and because I contradicted him in the restaurant that day?
It's possible when you think about it.
This person is wily and calculating, and he also knows a little bit about psychology. He is somewhat of a peer with Meng Shaoyuan, an expert in micro-expressions.
It's just that this person is narrow-minded, and he will be punished.
Before he took refuge with the Chen brothers, when he was still a nobody, a fellow villager once offended him.
As a result, the feud lasted for several years. When he gained power, he found a mistake and arrested this fellow.
After a while, he was executed secretly.
Now, he actually pointed the gun at his head?
Under questioning, Huo Yan told everything honestly.
More than a month ago, Xu Enzeng sent Huo Peng, Huo Yan's cousin and a confidant of Rang's secret agents, to find Huo Yan. After some coercion and inducement, Huo Yan agreed to become Xu Enzeng's man and deliver information about Lixingshe to him at any time.
In his work, there is another very important task:
Find an opportunity to kill Meng Shaoyuan!
Why?
Huo Yan didn't know.
He didn't dare to ask.
This time he was ordered to reinforce and eradicate Xue Sanqiang. Huo Yan found an opportunity to inform his cousin, and Huo Peng immediately arranged an assassination plan.
Meng Shaoyuan was completely kept in the dark about this matter.
If Ji Yifan hadn't risked his life to block the bullet, Xu Enzeng's conspiracy would have succeeded.
Meng Shaoyuan listened very carefully.
Xu En had wanted to kill him because he offended him in the restaurant that day?
Are there any other reasons?
The secret inside may only be revealed slowly in the future.
"Where is Huo Peng and what is his identity?" Meng Shaoyuan asked with a cold face.
"He is in Nanjing, and his public identity is a section chief of the Planning Bureau of Nanjing Municipal Government."
Huo Yan didn't dare to hide anything and told everything he knew.
"Team Leader Meng, I was confused for a moment. I was confused for a moment." Huo Yan begged repeatedly: "Please let me go, please let me go, I will never dare to do it again."
"Yeah, I was confused for a moment, and it ended up involving Ji Yifan's death." Meng Shaoyuan sighed.
He stood up, glanced at Huo Yan, and suddenly raised his gun.
"Bang bang bang".
Gunshots rang out.
Huo Yan died in a pool of blood instantly.
"For Lao Ji." Meng Shaoyuan said in a low voice, and then raised his voice: "Squadron leader Ji Yifan died while suppressing bandits. Squadron leader Huo Yan colluded with the gangster Xue Sanqiang and has been executed!"
Cao Jiaming and Zhu Yanni both knew why Meng Shaoyuan prepared to report like this.
Ji Yifan died while suppressing bandits, and his pension will be very generous. Huo Yan died in shame, and he couldn't even get a penny from it.
Zhu Yanni was a little reluctant: "Where is Xu Enzeng?"
"What Xu Enzeng?" Meng Shaoyuan said calmly: "What does this have to do with Xu Enzeng? Xiaozhu, please don't talk nonsense in the future. It will be bad if someone with ulterior motives finds out."
Of course Meng Shaoyuan was not willing to give in, but he had no choice.
Xu Enzeng's backers are brothers Chen Guofu and Chen Lifu. What ability can he have to touch him?
Even if Dai Li was willing to go all out to help him, he still couldn't do anything to Xu Enzeng.
Now I can only endure it and write down this account.
When I find an opportunity in the future, I will either not retaliate, or if I want to retaliate, I will count all the benefits along with it.
As for Huo Peng?
Master Meng can't offend Xu Enzeng, so why can't he deal with you?
Zhu Yanni thought for a while and understood the reason.
No matter how unwilling you are, you can only swallow this breath temporarily.
But she knew Meng Shaoyuan's temper too well.
It is said that Xu Enzeng must be repaid for his evil deeds, but in fact, why not Meng Shaoyuan?
This bandit suppression was originally a joyous event, but something like this happened, which also cast a shadow on everyone's hearts.
Meng Shaoyuan summoned all the agents and explained what happened in detail, but deliberately concealed the name Xu Enzeng.
And he told everyone without any secret that he planned to report that Huo Yan was colluding with Xue Sanqiang.
This is an open secret to begin with. As long as no one reveals it, everyone will treat it as if they don't know.
"Team Leader Meng, whatever you want to do, all the brothers will support you unconditionally." Lu Jinhai, the captain of the first squadron, said: "Huo Yan, this bastard. The reputation of our spies is not good to begin with. He It's good that one of our own people killed one of our own people. He deserves to die!"
Seeing that the military morale was stable, Meng Shaoyuan was relieved.
Originally, everyone wanted to set up a few tables in the restaurant to celebrate, but after such an incident, no one was interested anymore.
Meng Shaoyuan ordered to go down and get ready to leave Jiangyin and return to Nanjing early tomorrow morning.
Cao Jiaming told his wife to prepare more dishes. Tonight, he would see Team Leader Meng off.
Now, his wife already knows the identity of her man:
spy!
But there was no need to panic. Firstly, it was because he wanted to marry a chicken and follow the chicken, marry a dog and follow the dog. Secondly, he discovered that these spies were not as hateful as the legend said.
Look, weren't even the gangster Xue Sanqiang killed by these spies?
When it was time for dinner, Cao Jiaming set a table and invited Meng Shaoyuan, Zhu Yanni, Guo Rui, and Qiu Xingchang. He also specially invited Kang Tianhao to accompany him.
Kang Tianhao didn't come empty-handed. He brought three submachine guns and a large number of bullets, all of which were given to Meng Shaoyuan.
He was in charge of logistics, and if he did some tricks on the list, naturally no one would check it.
Corruption, free money, and even the theft and sale of weapons are commonplace. If you only want to be an upright person and resolutely not join the crowd, but you will be ostracized by your peers, then don't hang out in the future.
That box of stolen goods took more than a day or two to deal with, but when Kang Tianhao talked about it with the soldiers in the platoon, everyone immediately became excited and thought about the good agent Meng Shaoyuan.
"Please sort out the expenses this time and make a summary." Meng Shaoyuan thought for a while: "It doesn't hurt to pay more. I'll sign and reimburse you."
After saying that, he glanced at Guo Rui and Qiu Xingchang: "Do you think we are hiding things from our superiors and bullying our subordinates, embezzling public funds? We don't look like good people at all?"
Even if Guo Rui and Qiu Xingchang thought so in their hearts, they did not dare to say it out loud.
"Lao Cao, you are a veteran, talk to them." Meng Shaoyuan threw the question away.
Cao Jiaming took a sip of wine: "I don't know how many low-level spies there are like us all over the country. Let me settle the accounts with you. Take me as an example. My monthly salary is thirty-eight yuan..."
"Ah, so low?" Guo Rui couldn't help blurting out.
Cao Jiaming ignored him: "In a small place like Jiangyin, thirty-eight yuan is barely enough, but it's common to be stretched thin. My wife and I had to open a small shop like this to help. If we encounter a need When it comes to money matters, this salary alone is definitely not enough.
Major Kang's situation is much better. Not only can he get a salary from the department, but he also has a military pay, which is equivalent to double pay every month. We don't have such a good life.
Undercover agents are no match for you. At least you still have opium dealers and smugglers who can scratch the surface. If that doesn't work, find an honest businessman and accuse him of being a bandit. Will he not be frightened into obediently taking out the money? But we didn't even have this chance.
Therefore, we are all eagerly looking forward to the mission, why? There are subsidies and bonuses for tasks, and once the task is completed, we can find ways to get more reimbursement, which is a lot of income for us. "
Guo Rui and Qiu Xingchang were both new to the industry, and they never imagined that life would be so hard for these low-level latent agents.
Meng Shaoyuan said: "Do you think the higher-ups know this? They definitely know. For example, these days, we live in Lao Cao's house, and each person's food expenses are five yuan per day. When you look at it from above, how can it be so expensive? Why don't they think so? You broke it and signed it readily? Because Director Dai had already ordered that latent spies be reimbursed if they can, regardless of whether the expenses were false or not.
People like Lao Cao can use this money to make their lives easier.
Why does Director Dai allow this? If you let Lao Cao lurk, he won't even have enough to eat. How can he not use his brain to think of some evil ways to make money for himself? When the time comes, the intelligence will be betrayed, and the internal and external cooperation will definitely happen one after another. The gain outweighs the loss. "
Qiu Xingchang didn't quite understand: "Then why not just give them a salary increase?"
An innocent remark made Meng Shaoyuan, Cao Jiaming, and Kang Tianhao all laugh.
Meng Shaoyuan shook his head and said: "Where do the funds for our Lixing Society come from? Does it fall from the sky? Or can Director Dai do magic? Those are all financial allocations. Starting from Director Dai to agents like Lao Cao, everyone's There are standards for salaries, and no one can change them easily.
If you give Lao Cao a salary increase, what will happen to others? There are tens of thousands of registered and peripheral agents. Not to mention the mission funds every month, even the salary subsidy is a huge sum of money. It affects the whole body. Who can bear this responsibility? "
Zhu Yanni also said immediately: "Our Nanjing headquarters is better, and the work funds are all reimbursed in real time. But I heard that some small stations in other places have been owed work funds until the end of next year. The webmasters of those small stations, as soon as they come to Nanjing If there is an opportunity, I will take the local specialties to the accounting department and the information department. In short, I will try my best to find all the people I can find, and I will beg my grandpa to sue my grandma to get the reimbursement money."
"Spies are not as mysterious as they think." Meng Shaoyuan sighed softly: "Firewood, rice, oil, salt, soy sauce, vinegar and tea. When a spy opens his eyes every day, he thinks about the same things as ordinary people. Those who really don't have to worry about these things are the big ones. Spies are the trump card in Director Dai’s hand. But how many such people are there?”
Are you, Team Leader Meng, one of them?
Several people thought this at the same time.
Every mission is successfully completed, and this time is no exception. When you return to Nanjing successfully this time, Director Dai may reward you in some way.
