By the time all reports were completed, more than two hours had passed.
Chen Shixian listened very carefully. Not only did he take notes carefully, but when he encountered something he didn't understand clearly, he would interrupt the other person to ask for clarification.
He is here on behalf of Dai Li, and he must understand every detail of the matter.
Especially before and after the Anti-Japanese War, he showed the attitude of asking the question about the changes in the situation in Shanghai and Shanghai's specific response measures.
"Thank you all for your hard work."
After all the reports were finally completed, Chen Shixian closed his notes and said, "On behalf of Director Dai, I would like to thank you all for your efforts. The situation is getting tougher and we still need you to unite sincerely and fight the enemy bravely. I am here with another mission."
Getting to the point.
Meng Shaoyuan and the other two people suddenly became alert.
Chen Shixian pondered for a while and said: "As you all know, Japan has always taken a two-step approach to China. The first is to invade by force, and the second is to bribe a large number of traitors. Last time, Director Dai personally sent a report to you, The Japanese have come up with a plan to 'Southern Tang and North Wu', and its intentions are extremely sinister. Once successful, it will put the Nationalist Government into a passive state..."
Sure enough, he came, after all, it was about the "Southern Tang Dynasty and Northern Wu Dynasty", and the telegram was indeed sent by the three giants.
This is indeed a big deal.
Both Tang Shaoyi and Wu Peifu are well-known figures in Chinese history and play an important role. Anyone who rebels will cause a major earthquake in China.
After all, everything they say and do has great influence!
"Wu Peifu from the north is more reassuring. This person has the integrity of Chinese people." Chen Shixian said calmly: "This is Tang Shaoyi from Shanghai. His attitude is very ambiguous and unpredictable. Director Dai's meaning is unclear to him. "Strictly monitor him and take decisive measures according to the situation once we find conclusive evidence that he has defected to the Japanese."
He didn't say it explicitly, but "taking decisive measures" was enough to explain everything.
Meng Shaoyuan said nothing, and neither did Cheng Yiming.
Both of them had ordinary thoughts in mind. Even if they really got the evidence that Tang Shaoyi rebelled and surrendered to the enemy, what would they do?
Kill him?
easy.
But what happens after it’s done?
Zhou Weilong didn't think so much at all.
It is true that he is the nominal leader of the military unification, but he mainly relied on his promotion to this position after helping Dai Li and the Generalissimo.
Whether he was the former district chief of Shanghai District or the current district chief of Shanghai Latent Area, he had no particularly impressive achievements and was always stable.
Moreover, he was already far behind by his junior Meng Shaoyuan.
If he can take this opportunity to kill Tang Shaoyi, the veteran of the Republic of China, it will definitely become the proudest deed of his life.
as a result of?
What are the consequences of killing a traitor?
At this time, Zhou Weilong had already set his sights on Tang Shaoyi.
"Secretary Cheng, what do you think of this matter?" Chen Shixian suddenly asked Cheng Yiming.
Cheng Yiming quickly said: "Everything will be subject to Director Dai's arrangements."
"Secretary Cheng is really prudent in his work." Chen Shixian smiled: "Secretary Cheng, when you were the lieutenant colonel leader of the Suzhou Special Intensification Group, you were responsible for collecting intelligence on the Japanese troops and traitors for the Third Theater Command Headquarters. You were still very good at it. Something happened."
"No, no, it's all small things." Cheng Yiming said modestly.
"By the way, do you know a Japanese named Oeda Masaru?"
"Oeda Chang? We know him." Cheng Yiming was startled for a moment: "He used Henlun's rice bank as a cover and lurked in Shanghai for many years. His Chinese name is Hu Chongfa. Some time ago, his rice bank was pulled out. Ah, it's Director Meng The action under personal command was fast and decisive. I heard that the person specifically responsible for the implementation was a woman?"
"Lin Xuan."
Meng Shaoyuan smiled and said: "He was transferred from Nanjing, and he can be regarded as one of my old subordinates."
"Well, yes, Director Meng specifically reported this mission to Director Dai, and Lin Xuan was indeed included in the award list." Chen Shixian nodded slightly.
Cheng Yiming didn't particularly understand.
Although Oeda Masaru is a veteran Japanese spy, he is not a great person. With the simple task of removing the contact point, why did Meng Shaoyuan go out of his way to report to Dai Li?
"Secretary Cheng." Chen Shixian continued to say unhurriedly: "When you were in Suzhou, you also dealt with a man named Tan Jinhao, right?"
"Yes." Cheng Yiming was even more confused.
"Director Meng, do you recognize this Tan Jinhao?" Chen Shixian directly threw the question to Meng Shaoyuan.
"Not only did he know him, but he was also killed by me." Meng Shaoyuan said: "This person is not only a tyrant in Suzhou, but also a hardcore traitor. When I passed through Suzhou, I killed him easily."
"Keep talking, don't hide anything." Chen Shixian said immediately: "Tell me everything you found that you reported to Director Dai. Director Dai asked me to give you a message, don't be afraid when doing things for the country. Offend."
"Yes, Shaoyuan understands." Meng Shaoyuan was not flustered at all: "This time, my agent Lin Xuan led people to eliminate Henlun Mihang, the Japanese contact point in the Shanghai Public Concession, and seized a large number of documents, one of which was related to Cheng Yiming is related to Secretary Cheng. While Secretary Cheng was in Suzhou, he met with Tan Jinhao many times and accepted five gold bars from Tan Jinhao, each worth ten taels, for a total of fifty taels, as well as some cash and jade articles."
"I can explain this." Cheng Yiming was a little anxious: "At that time, Tan Jinhao was not yet a traitor. Because our Suzhou team was short of funds, he came to me and offered to donate money to the Anti-Japanese War. After showing a little kindness, I accepted it. .”
"Did you turn it over afterward, and did you report it to the organization?"
"No." Cheng Yiming was calm: "The war was going on at the time, and Tan Jinhao's reputation was not very good. It was very complicated to report according to the process, so I was lazy. However, most of the money was spent in Suzhou The intensification of the group work is well-documented, and as for me, I have kept a gold bar.”
"Leaving a gold bar for yourself is not a big deal." Chen Shixian smiled: "Director Meng, continue your report. Ah, Secretary Cheng, listen carefully, don't be anxious."
Meng Shaoyuan continued: "Among the documents seized from Henglun Rice Store, we found a report written by Tan Jinhao to Oeda Masaru. The report proved that he had already defected to the Japanese. In this report, it is like this It’s said that Cheng Yiming, the leader of the Suzhou Special Task Force for Military Reunion, accepted a bribe of fifty taels, which seems to be able to win over..."
"That's nonsense!" Cheng Yiming immediately became angry.
Chen Shixian looked at him: "Secretary Cheng, I told you, don't worry, just wait until Director Meng finishes speaking."
"yes."
Meng Shaoyuan's face was expressionless: "Subsequently, Tan Jinhao wrote several reports to Oeda Chang, most of which were related to Secretary Cheng. I have sent people to seal all the information and send it to Wuhan."
"Director Dai has seen it." Chen Shixian proved Meng Shaoyuan's words: "There are no traces of alteration in all the information. Secretary Cheng, to be honest, collecting some money is not a big deal. But when Songhu was fighting fiercely, you, Secretary Cheng, and Isn’t it a bit unreasonable that a traitor is flirting with a traitor? To put it more seriously, he is colluding with a traitor. To put it lightly, a traitor is right in front of you, but you didn’t notice it. How can this be justified? "
Cheng Yiming was speechless for a moment. This was really an oversight on his part.
At that time, the only reason I was dealing with Tan Jinhao was to use his funds to replenish my team. I had no other ideas. He has never done anything like collaborating with the enemy or selling out intelligence.
Who would have thought that it would now become evidence of a crime?
"Secretary Cheng, you don't have to be nervous." Chen Shixian also said a few words of comfort: "Director Dai also knows that you, Secretary Cheng, will definitely not rebel and surrender to the enemy, but if these documents are passed out, they will eventually be given to the enemy. People leave excuses. Those who don't know about it will say that Secretary Cheng also came to us from the Workers' and Peasants' Party, so he has a criminal record. It is normal for him to defect to the Japanese again. People's words are terrible. "
Cheng Yiming sighed in his heart. His experience with the Workers' and Peasants' Party was his fatal wound after all.
"Director Dai discussed this matter with your old classmate Deng Wenyi and Chief Deng." Chen Shixian brought up the name of Cheng Yiming's biggest supporter Deng Wenyi: "Director Dai and Chief Deng agreed that your Secretary Cheng fought bloody battles in Shanghai and narrowly escaped death. It’s hard work, so it’s time for you to go to the rear to adjust and recuperate.”
Cheng Yiming laughed miserably: "What new position will you arrange for me?"
"You are an intelligence instructor, so of course your skills must be matched." Chen Shixian said seemingly casually: "The order is to transfer Cheng Yiming, secretary of the Shanghai latent area of the Military Command, to be a full-time intelligence instructor for the special training class of the Military Commission of Linli County, Hunan Province, to complete the handover of the work , take office immediately, no delay!"
"Yes!" Cheng Yiming's face turned pale and he glanced at Meng Shaoyuan again.
Meng Shaoyuan, Director Meng, you are so cruel!
In September 1938, Cheng Yiming was transferred to the full-time intelligence instructor of the special training class of the Military Commission of Linli County, Hunan Province.
In November 1939, Cheng Yiming was imprisoned in the "Yanglangba Prison" in Xifeng County, Guizhou Province, and later transferred to the "Baigongguan Prison" because he often beat practitioners during his tenure.
After the hard lobbying of his old classmate Deng Wenyi, he was released.
It was not until after the victory of the Anti-Japanese War that Cheng Yiming finally returned to Shanghai again.
"I always wanted to bring down Meng Shaoyuan, but Meng Shaoyuan drove me out of Shanghai instead." Many years later, Cheng Yiming told others:
"This man is as active as a tiger. Not only did he drive me out of Shanghai, why did I go to jail for such a trivial matter as beating a practitioner when I was in Hunan? I have always suspected that he was behind the scenes."
"You just accept your fate?"
"What else can I do if I don't accept my fate?" Cheng Yiming smiled bitterly: "That time, I really understood a sentence about Shanghai. After all, it is Meng Shaoyuan's Shanghai!"
