The two talked secretly for an hour.
After learning the news, Zhou Weilong, the head of the Shanghai latent zone of the military command, quickly reported it to Chongqing.
After learning about the incident, the chairman personally ordered Zhou Weilong:
Get rid of Tang Shaoyi.
Dai Li immediately gave this instruction to the Shanghai District of Military Command.
Zhou Weilong personally deployed the assassination operation of the Tang Dynasty, and the military commander, Dai Liai, Zhao Lijun, carried out the operation.
Near Tang Shaoyi's villa, the public concession police took special security measures, sending out many Annan patrols and setting up guards at the door to prevent anyone from entering or exiting at will.
In this case, he was happy to be at ease, living in seclusion, staying in an apartment at sea for the time being, and waiting for his return.
Every morning, he first goes to Xinghualou on Sima Road for morning tea. In addition to the exquisite Guangbang pastries, he also drinks some ginseng soup, deer antler soup and the like to replenish his vitality.
When he is at home, he entertains himself by appreciating antiques. He is especially interested in porcelain. He is a connoisseur. He often touches and plays with treasures from past dynasties and cannot put them down.
And this also gave Zhao Lijun a perfect assassination opportunity!
September 29, 1938.
Xie Zhipan, an insider arranged by the military commander, led military commanders in casual clothes, posing as antique dealers, and drove straight to the Tang residence.
Xie Zhipan was a disciple of an old friend of Tang Shaoyi. He often went to Tang Shaoyi's place, and this time he was also bribed by the military commander.
When they arrived at the house, Annan's guards searched him carefully, but except for a few antiques, there were no flaws.
After the housekeeper led them to the reception room and sat down, Tang Shaoyi slowly came down from upstairs.
Xie Zhipan hurried forward with a smile on his face: "Sir, many of the refugees in the public concession have valuable antiques, and they are willing to sell them at a low price."
Then he pointed at these "antique dealers" and said: "They know that the master likes them, so they specially selected a few to send them. I respectfully invite the master to take a look."
After saying that, he handed over several beautiful boxes containing antiques.
Tang Shaoyi held a magnifying glass in hand and carefully looked at several antiques one by one, praising them repeatedly: "Good things, good things! Please set a price."
Xie Zhipan casually quoted the price, and the deal was concluded, and several mysterious antique dealers walked away.
It turns out that this is just an exercise conducted by the military command operatives to ensure that tomorrow's attack will be foolproof.
They discovered that Tang Shaoyi was obsessed with antiques. She always received visiting antique dealers in person, and for particularly precious goods, she would send away servants and close the door tightly to prevent outsiders from peeking. This is the right time to take action.
A careful assassination plan was planned.
On the morning of September 30, there was a drizzle of autumn wind and heavy gloom.
A blue car drove straight to the gate of Tangzhai.
Xie Zhipan and three other people got out of the car. Seeing that they were regular customers, the Annan guard opened the iron door to let them through.
Xie Zhipan was wearing a blue suit, and Zhao Lijun, the military special agent who personally carried out the operation, was dressed as an antique dealer and wore a light gray serge gown. The two walked side by side.
Following behind were the military killers Wang Xingguo and Li Ada, dressed as clerks and carrying a large suitcase containing antiques.
There is indeed good stuff in the box,
A large vase made by the Southern Song Dynasty, a sword said to be worn by Qi Jiguang, a famous anti-Japanese general, and several antiques.
Of course, there is also a sharp small steel ax hidden in the large Southern Song Dynasty vase.
A group of four people came to the living room. The housekeeper had already gone upstairs to report to Tang Shaoyi, thanking the young master for bringing someone to sell antiques again. He asked the master to come downstairs to take a look. After a while, Tang Shaoyi went downstairs to chat with the visitor.
After the guests and hosts were seated, Zhao Lijun first took out the sword, walked up to Tang Shaoyi, and said: "This sword was used by Qi Jiguang when he fought against the Japanese. It is priceless. Please take a look at it, Prime Minister Tang."
Tang Shaoyi took the sword and played with it for a while, frowning slightly.
He then said in the tone of an expert connoisseur: "I'm afraid it's not the real thing. Soldiers in the Ming Dynasty wore more swords than swords. The famous Japanese sword used by General Shi Qi to confront the Japanese pirate Feng Dy."
The two bargained and argued over the price.
At this time, in order to relax the atmosphere, Tang Shaoyi said to the servant standing aside: "Light the cigarette for the guest."
But there were no matches in the room, so the servant went out to get them.
Seeing that the time had come, Zhao Lijun signaled Li Ada to take action with his eyes.
When Tang Shaoyi turned around and stared down at other antiques, Li Ada quickly took out the small steel ax from the Southern Song Dynasty vase.
He walked around behind Tang Shaoyi and chopped off his head suddenly.
Before Tang Shaoyi could even hum, he collapsed, his brains flying and blood gushing out.
Seeing that it was done, Zhao Lijun asked everyone to go out and get in the car.
When they came to the door of the room, Xie Zhipan and Zhao Lijun said plausibly, "There is no need to send Prime Minister Tang off. Stay, stay."
After closing the door and coming out, the four of them bowed to the door again, appearing extremely respectful.
The bodyguards and servants outside the door had no doubts when they saw this situation.
They walked out of the door step by step, got into the blue car that had not been turned off, and drove away at lightning speed.
Several servants vaguely remembered that the license plate number was 6312.
Tang Shaoyi was a veteran who founded the Republic of China and had a distinguished reputation.
His murder instantly shocked the public concession.
After the patrol room learned that Tang Shaoyi had been assassinated, it immediately dispatched a large number of armed patrol officers to the scene and sent an armored vehicle to guard the intersection.
At the same time, notify all patrol offices by phone to be on the lookout for blue car No. 6312.
At noon, an armored vehicle found the empty blue car at the intersection of Maggie Road and Bishop Yao.
After investigation, it was found that the car number was 6312, which was owned by a taxi company and was rented by an unidentified person a few days ago.
The murderer was obviously well prepared, and this clue was lost.
Based on the address of Xie Zhipan's home provided by the Tang family, another patrol went straight to No. 275 Ladu Road in the public concession, but the building was already empty.
Tang Shaoyi was seriously injured after being stabbed and was rushed to the nearby Guangci Hospital for emergency treatment. She was already dying when she arrived at the hospital.
The doctor gave him a cardiac injection and a blood transfusion of 2000cc, but it still didn't work and he remained in a coma.
At 4 p.m. that day, Tang Shaoyi finally died.
Shanghai newspapers published the news one after another:
"Tang Shaoyi was stabbed to death."
After the autopsy was done in the French Concession, the body was taken away by relatives and children of the Tang family, and a memorial hall was set up at the Wanguo Funeral Home on Jiaozhou Road. It was not a lonely thing after his death.
After several assassins escaped, they went straight to Dai Li's family in Chongqing to seek rewards.
Zhao Lijun's military rank was promoted to colonel.
Wang Xingguo and Li Ada also have their own uses.
However, Xie Zhipan, who was bribed, was not experienced enough. He was as frightened as a lost dog afterwards. And because of his special relationship with Tang Shaoyi, he became a little mentally disturbed after escaping to Chongqing. He often said to himself: "I'm sorry for Uncle Tang!"
As a result, it was impossible to arrange for him to work and let him stay in a hotel temporarily. Soon, it was said that he had schizophrenia and was sent to a hospital for treatment and locked in a special care unit.
Zhou Weilong, who successfully directed this major assassination of the Tang Dynasty, was really glorious.
And now, it's finally time for Meng Shaoyuan to make his debut!
