"Brother, I have to leave this matter to you."
"My brother's business is my business."
Zhang Renkui, the old master of Jinghu Lake, was still so heroic and said: "Don't worry, all of my 100,000 disciples will be under your command!"
The old man said that he had 100,000 disciples, which was of course an exaggeration.
But with full calculation, seven to eight hundred people can still be used.
In addition to the various walks of life they are responsible for protecting, such as dock workers, rickshaw pullers, and beggars, it is not difficult for the old man to recruit 3,000 people.
"Thank you, old man!"
With the help of the old man, Meng Shaoyuan's chances of winning are even better.
"Chang Chizhou!"
"exist!"
"From now on, you listen to the little master's orders!"
"Yes! Chang Chizhou has always admired the young master, and he will never be careless this time!"
Ever since that trip to Northern Jiangsu with the young master, Chang Chizhou admired the young master in his heart.
Now that there is another opportunity for cooperation, how can Chang Chizhou not be happy?
"It's going to be hard this time." Meng Shaoyuan cupped his hands and said, "We'll start taking action tomorrow."
"Understood, little master!"
Chang Chizhou's energy and spirit were immediately mobilized.
Today is May 12th.
There are still 19 days until Yingzuo Zhenzhao flies to Japan with Wang Jingwei and briefly leaves Shanghai...
…
May 13, 1939.
Albert Road, Leighton French Restaurant.
Mr. Manuel Franks, a respected lawyer, and Mrs. Franks finished lunch, and Mrs. Franks came out holding Mr. Franks' arm.
"Tu veux une voiture (Do you want a car)?"
A rickshaw driver immediately ran over with his rickshaw and asked in a flattering manner in French that everyone in Shanghai's rickshaw community would say.
He was also holding a steamed bun with pickled vegetables in his hand. He ran in a hurry, and when he exerted force with his hand, all the pickled pickled vegetables in the steamed bun spurted out, which happened to spray all over Mrs. Franks.
Mrs. Franks screamed.
Then Mr. Franks roared angrily.
The rickshaw driver was frightened and was at a loss what to do.
The Chinese manager in the restaurant ran out quickly. When he asked about the situation, he immediately became angry and shouted at the rickshaw driver: "You are blind, do you know who this is? Lawyer Franks!"
"Sir, I, I really didn't mean it..."
"You didn't mean it? Just wait." The manager communicated with Mr. Franks for a while, then turned around and said arrogantly: "Mr. Franks said that there is no reason to argue with low-class people like you, so be it. Just pay for Mrs. Franks’s clothes.”
"Ah, do you want compensation? Sir, why don't you let him go back and wash it so that he can wear it again?"
"You low-class person knows nothing. This kind of clothes is very expensive. You can't wear it if it gets a little dirty."
"Then, how much copper will it cost?"
"I'm sorry that a low-class person like you has no money. Mr. Franks said, five dollars."
"ah!"
The driver was so frightened that he almost sat down on the ground: "Five dollars? Sir, I have only earned eighty cents since this morning."
Mr. Franks chattered a lot, and then the manager said: "If you don't pay, I will take you to the police station and use your car to pay off the debt."
"Sir, that's not okay. This car doesn't belong to me, it belongs to the dealership."
"That's none of my business!"
Finally, the coachman's colleagues couldn't bear it any longer: "You guys are too bullying. It's just a little dirty. Five dollars, how much money do we earn after a hard day's work?"
"You little bastard." The manager yelled: "Go and pry into your mother's belly. If we start a lawsuit, Mr. Franks can sue you for selling your wife to a pavilion to be used as a cousin!"
"Why are you swearing!"
"If you curse someone, I'm going to beat them up!"
With a "pop" sound, the manager slapped the coachman hard on the face.
"You hit someone? I will fight with you!"
The furious coachman grabbed the manager.
Mrs. Franks screamed in terror.
At this moment, two Indian patrol officers rushed over.
Mr. Franks pointed at the rickshaw driver and muttered something: The Indian patrolmen picked up their batons and hit the rickshaw driver and his companions indiscriminately.
"Hit someone, hit someone!"
Someone shouted.
Seeing that the situation was about to get out of control, an Indian patrolman hurriedly blew a sharp whistle.
As reinforcements arrived, those coachmen who dared to resist were both cuffed and taken away.
"Lock him up, lock him up!"
The manager, who was punched several times, jumped and scolded: "I'll lock them up for ten or eight years to see if they are honest or not."
After finishing speaking, he said to the Franks and his wife flatteringly: "I surprised you."
"Thanks."
Mr. Franks didn't want a piece of clothing to make things worse, so he left here in a hurry.
This is nothing more than a small episode in Shanghai.
As soon as the Franks and his wife left, a voice came from behind the manager: "Lao Jiang, you did a good job."
"Oh, Mr. Chang." Manager Jiang said with a smile, "It's just those two brothers who have to work hard."
"It's okay." Chang Chizhou smiled: "I'm not afraid of being caught, I'm just afraid that they won't catch me!"
…
"I'm looking for Meng Shaoyuan...Meng Shaoyuan, I'm An Guang...Yes, I want to talk to you...Tomorrow at 8 o'clock in the evening, at my house...Yes, I am alone. I know you are from the military commander, but I’m not afraid of you…Okay, I’ll wait for you!”
An Guang hung up the phone: "He took the bait!"
"Took the bait!"
Ojing Xinmin became excited.
An opportunity to kill Meng Shaoyuan has appeared before him!
"Oi-kun, have you brought the things?"
"Brought it."
Ojing Xinmin patted a box he carried with him.
"follow me!"
An Guang took him into a two-story building.
He knocked on the door, and the person who opened the door was a lame man. When he saw An Guang, he was as enthusiastic as he could be: "Mr. An, are you here?"
"Yes, I'm here, Ma Laizi. This is the friend I'm talking about. I want to stay with you temporarily for two days."
"That's good. Anyway, my wife is not in Shanghai." Ma Laizi nodded repeatedly: "My friend lives on the second floor. It's comfortable to live there."
"Thank you, Ma Cripple."
Anguang took out ten yuan and stuffed it into Ma Laizi's pocket.
"Oh, Mr. An, you're welcome."
"We agreed." An Guang said without hesitation: "This friend of mine is a book writer. He comes here to find some inspiration. He doesn't like others to disturb him, so he doesn't call you, so don't go upstairs."
"Okay, okay, do you want to help pour down the toilet?"
"No need. Ma Cripple, what if someone asks you if anyone lives here?"
"There's no one there. When the war started in Shanghai, both the master and his wife went abroad, leaving me, Ma Laizi, to look after the house. They didn't believe that they came in and searched. Mr. An's friend, there is a secret compartment behind the wardrobe on the second floor. , it was the master and his wife who originally hid the things before, and I think Nong’s figure is just right for hiding it in, ensuring that they can’t find it.”
"Okay, Ma Laizi, thank you very much." An Guang looked very satisfied: "When my friend finishes writing, I will give you another ten yuan."
"Oh, Mr. An, Nong is really a good person, but it's a pity that Nong's wife...forget it, forget it, I'm talking too much..."
…
"Is this lame horse reliable?"
"It's very reliable, and everyone here sympathizes with me." An Guang put down the bag he brought: "There are all food and drinks in it, and there are many bags. You have to make it convenient and don't use the toilet. Otherwise, we will come up for inspection. When people see feces in the toilet, they will immediately know that someone lives here, and these bags are used for this purpose."
Ooi Shinna was in awe.
I really didn't think of this detail.
A spy who has been lurking for a long time is really completely different from other agents!
They found the secret compartment that Ma Laizi mentioned. It was very hidden. Some people said it was difficult to find it.
Ojing Shinmin opened the suitcase he was carrying.
Inside is a three-section detachable Mosin-Nagant rifle equipped with an optical sight!
"Okay, please." An Guang looked more relieved: "From now on, you will have to work hard. You will not be able to leave here even a step. There will be an explosion tomorrow. If Meng Shaoyuan escapes by chance, it will be up to you."
"Don't worry, I won't let him leave alive. You are not even afraid of death, so what does this hard work mean to me? Everything is for the Empire of Japan!"
"The matter is over, remember to deal with the crippled horse." Yasuguang glanced at Oi's new name again: "Goodbye, Oi-kun!"
"Goodbye, Ann..." Ooi Shinna hesitated for a moment: "I still don't know your real name. Can you tell me? In the future, your name will be remembered by all of Japan!"
…
"You were so anxious to find me, what did you find?"
"Yes."
Qiu Haisheng looked to the side: "Two pieces of information, the first one is about the Japanese expert group. Meng Shaoyuan will transfer the Japanese experts to Warehouse No. 6, Kangnao Tuo Road tomorrow, and wait for an opportunity to send them out of Shanghai via waterway. "
"Is the news true?"
"Indeed." Qiu Haisheng said with great certainty: "A total of twenty-five agents will be dispatched, divided into five cars and one vehicle disguised as a police car, with sufficient weapons. Originally, I was also going to participate in the operation."
"Very good!"
Gong Dao Hongshi was overjoyed, and then suddenly reacted: "You said you were also going to participate in the operation? Meng Shaoyuan didn't let you go? Did he discover something?"
"no!"
Qiu Haisheng smiled: "Because I have a more important task. I am one of the people who followed Meng Shaoyuan earlier, so he trusts me very much. I will be responsible for protecting his safety tomorrow."
"Where is he going?"
"I'm going to meet An Guang, the husband of Wu Jingyi, the assistant to the Shanghai District Director of the Military Command Bureau!"
"Where?"
"At An Guang's home."
"Is he really going?"
"I was in his office when Meng Shaoyuan received the call from An Guang. He had already ordered me to be responsible for his peripheral security. Moreover, I can tell you one more thing. This is the plan we made!"
"you?"
"Yes, this is a perfect plan made by Mr. Thor!"
