Bai Mingshan, male, 59 years old, from Maoming, Guangdong.
He learned the double shape of tiger and crane since he was a child. He came to Shanghai with his master at the age of 8. At the age of 24, he founded the "Tiger Hall", which became popular in Shanghai for a while.
Later, it was said that he offended the assassin king Wang Yaqiao and was struck with an ax in the chest. He lay in bed for a year before he could get out of bed. Most of his energy was lost, and the reputation of "Tiger Hall" plummeted.
He had defected to the Japanese very early and was dedicated to working for the Japanese. The disappearances of patriots, anti-Japanese pioneers He Shuangtai, Liu Jiumei and others were all related to this person.
When the Anti-Japanese War broke out, he actively cheered for Japan, advocating that China was by no means a rival to Japan, and that the Nationalist Government should surrender as soon as possible to avoid the loss of life.
Fourth on the military assassination list.
This person must go to "Tianshui Tower" for tea every afternoon, and he carries two bodyguards with him, and the bodyguards carry weapons.
This is the material that He Ruyi has mastered.
It has been a long time since he went to the front line to perform tasks in person.
But this time he decided to go out and have some action.
Meng Shaoyuan is in trouble.
The frontline agents were being renovated, and the agents who were originally operating in the concession were transferred up, which happened to be a gap period.
He was short of manpower and had to do many tasks himself.
There is no way, if the students are in trouble, I can only help as a teacher.
There were still many guests in the "Tian Shui Tower", and everyone was discussing the ongoing Battle of Shanghai.
There was an empty table with an empty teapot on it.
At that time, I told the guests that this was a regular customer's order, and even if the store was full, this table would have to be reserved for the guests.
He Ruyi ordered a pot of tea, put a palm-sized box there, cracked a melon seed, and took a sip of tea.
I haven't lived such a comfortable life for a long time.
After a while, three people came in at the door.
Among them is the one wearing a long gown, and the two beside him are both wearing suits.
Bai Mingshan!
This person likes to be arty and shows that he is very open-minded and progressive, so all the bodyguards around him wear suits.
The reserved table was indeed theirs.
"Master Bai, are you still the same?" The clerk came over to greet him quickly.
"Old rules."
As soon as the tea was served, He Ruyi stood up with the box and walked towards the table.
"stop."
A bodyguard stood up and stopped He Ruyi.
He Ruyi took off his hat and bowed respectfully: "Is it Lord Bai Mingshan?"
"Who are you?" Bai Mingshan gave him a cold look.
"My surname is He. I'm from Hangzhou. I want to discuss something with Mr. Bai."
Bai Mingshan pursed his lips, and the two bodyguards immediately carefully checked whether He Ruyi was carrying weapons in full view of the public, and even pinched the top hat.
When he wanted to check the box, He Ruyi shook his head: "Master Bai, there are too many people here, so don't check it. If you are worried about what is in it, I can leave it to you for safekeeping first."
"It's done, let him come over." Bai Mingshan took a sip of tea.
He Ruyi sat opposite him: "Master Bai, I originally came to Shanghai to do some things. Later, a friend introduced me and said that you have a wide range of people. Let me come to you to think of a way. Maybe there is a way."
Bai Mingshan said lazily: "Tell me, what's the matter?"
"The family is unfortunate, the family is unfortunate." He Ruyi sighed, and lowered his voice deliberately: "Quinzi is studying in Shanghai, and he doesn't want to study hard. He usually goes to attend some parades and rallies on weekdays. Now that China and Japan are at war, he is the same person. What does it have to do with being a student? As a result, he went to the gate of Yuanhua Jinhang to protest, and by the evening of that day, he disappeared."
Bai Mingshan smiled, of course he knew what was going on.
Yuanhua Golden Bank is the secret service agency of Japan's "Sakura Club". If you, a student, go there to protest, will the Japanese be willing?
In all likelihood, he was secretly captured by the Japanese, and the odds are against him now.
In Shanghai, in the public concession, missing a student is nothing.
"Master Bai, they say you have a good relationship with the Japanese, so I would like to ask you if you can try to find Quan Zi?" He Ruyi begged with a look on his face.
Bai Mingshan guessed that the body of the son named He had probably been thrown into the Huangpu River, but since he asked himself to do things, he would definitely bleed.
Why not take advantage of this opportunity to get a vote?
As a foreigner, where could he go to redress his grievances even if he was deceived?
"I'm afraid this won't be easy to handle." Bai Mingshan sighed: "It's a tiger in Japan, but what about China? It's a sheep. How can a sheep fight with a tiger? If your son falls into the hands of the Japanese, they'll say I'm in vain. A certain person has a good relationship with the Japanese, but this matter is not easy to handle, not easy to handle."
"That's why I came to ask Master Bai for help. Master Bai, I know this matter is difficult to handle, so I won't let Master Bai's work be in vain." He Ruyi pushed the box in front of Bai Mingshan.
Bai Mingshan carefully opened the box, but only opened it a crack, and his eyes suddenly widened.
What a big pearl!
"Master Bai, there are many people with mixed eyes." He Ruyi reminded him in a low voice.
Bai Mingshan understood immediately and quickly closed the box: "Man, open a private room for me."
After saying that, he stood up and his tone became much more polite: "Mr. He, please."
"Master Bai, please." He Ruyi picked up his hat and stood up.
Arriving at the private room on the second floor, a bodyguard went in first to check carefully, then came out and nodded towards Bai Mingshan.
Bai Mingshan and He Ruyi immediately walked in. The bodyguards closed the door and stood on the left and right at the door.
After just one box, Bai Mingshan couldn't wait to open the box.
What a big pearl!
Pure white, crystal clear, with a hint of lavender luster faintly flashing in it.
Bai Mingshan almost stopped breathing.
"Master Bai, what do you think of this pearl?" He Ruyi deliberately raised his voice.
"Okay, okay." Bai Mingshan was full of praise.
"Hold on."
He Ruyi opened the door and called a bodyguard in: "Master Bai, let's not order tea for now. I'm worried that someone will leak out."
"Yes, yes." Bai Mingshan stared at the pearl without raising his head: "I, Bai, have seen a lot of good things, but this is the first time I have seen this. No one is allowed to Come in."
"Okay, Master Bai."
The bodyguard closed the door again.
"Master Bai, this is called Hai Yuanzhu. It is an heirloom of my He family. In order to save Quanzi this time, I had to take out all the heirlooms."
"Your son's matter is easy to talk about." Bai Mingshan said perfunctorily, focusing entirely on "Hai Yuan Zhu".
"Not only this Hai Yuan Pearl, but also the box containing the pearl is specially made." He Ruyi stood on the edge of Bai Mingshan: "Please Mr. Bai pick up the Hai Yuan Pearl."
Bai Mingshan had been waiting for this sentence for a long time, and carefully picked up the Hai Yuan Pearl.
"Master Bai, this box is made of solid rosewood, so it is very heavy. Look."
"Ah, yes, yes."
Bai Mingshan only had pearls in his eyes, and he didn't even bother to look at rosewood.
He Ruyi smiled.
Then, he suddenly raised the rosewood box and hit Bai Mingshan hard on the temple.
Bai Mingshan remained silent.
The moment his head fell to the table, He Ruyi held his pearl-holding hand with one hand, and with the other hand, he held a rosewood box and placed it on his chin, then slowly placed his head on it. On the table.
Then, he suddenly changed his voice and said very loudly: "Good thing, I, Bai, someone's eyes have been opened today!"
The tone of his voice was somewhat similar to Bai Mingshan's.
He Ruyi put away the pearls, took the top hat, took apart the lining inside the top hat, and pulled out a steel wire.
In order to ensure that the hat will not lose its shape, many hats have gaskets and the like inside, which is absolutely unquestionable.
He Ruyi moved while saying: "Master Bai, please help me with the dog's matter."
"Easy to say, easy to say." He Ruyi seemed to be singing a one-man show, and then imitated Bai Mingshan's voice: "I, Mr. Bai, still have a good reputation in front of the Japanese."
In fact, he imitated Bai Mingshan's tone, which was only somewhat similar. But at this time, the door of the private room was closed tightly. Although it was loud, the sound coming out would definitely be distorted.
In addition, he added the words "someone Bai" to every sentence. When the bodyguards outside heard it, they naturally thought it was Bai Mingshan talking there.
Otherwise, besides these two people, who else is there in the private room?
The bodyguard came in just now.
He Ruyi came to Bai Mingshan with a steel wire, held his head, used the steel wire to point at the dented temple, stabbed it hard, and slapped him hard several times.
Bai Mingshan might have been saved before, but this time, it was completely dead.
He Ruyi pulled out the wire and threw it aside: "Master Bai, you have to look carefully at this Haiyuan Pearl. It will change colors when exposed to the light."
"Oh, really, then I want someone to take a good look at it!"
He Ruyi turned the chair where Bai Mingshan was sitting towards the bright light, then let his body lean on the chair, with his back to the door, his hands on his chest, and looking at him from behind, he just thought he was admiring the sea. Yuanzhu.
"Master Bai, I'll take care of everything."
"Don't worry, Mr. He. What can't be solved if I, Bai, come forward? When you go out, close the door and tell my bodyguard not to come in!"
"Okay, Master Bai."
He Ruyi picked up the hat, put it on, walked to the door calmly, and opened the door: "Master Bai said, no one else is allowed to disturb you."
The bodyguard had already heard it and looked inside, where Bai Mingshan was concentrating on admiring the pearls.
He Ruyi closed the door, took off his hat, and bowed slightly to the two bodyguards: "Brothers, thank you for your hard work."
"Go, go." The bodyguard said impatiently.
He Ruyi smiled slightly: "Please tell Mr. Bai when he comes out. I will pay for his tea money."
Seeing He Ruyi coming downstairs, the two bodyguards looked at each other with some sympathy.
This old gentleman's son is probably no longer alive.
What a pity, but he is still there with his wishful thinking.
