That night, Meng Shaoyuan stayed at Xu Mei's place again.
Xu Mei tried her best to be tactful and served Master Meng as "the spring night is short and the sun is rising, and the king will not go to court early from now on."
It's a pity that the sun will rise after all, and he, Master Meng, will still have something to do.
When I got up, I was still reluctant to leave.
You think it would be great if the war of resistance ended now?
"I won't be here these days." Meng Shaoyuan said after getting dressed.
"Well, master, are you going out to do something important?" Xu Mei responded obediently.
"Yes, I have to go do something important." Meng Shaoyuan sighed: "It's a pity that I can't take you with me."
Xu Mei looked a little disappointed: "Xu Mei wants to stay with Master all the time."
"Why don't I want to?"
Just as he was about to say a few words of love that he had planned for a long time, Li Zhifeng, who was not interested, knocked on the door again: "Sir, everything is ready."
"I know, I'll come right away."
Meng Shaoyuan muttered, then glanced at Xu Mei again, with a look of reluctance on his face: "Just wait for me here, I'll be back in a few days."
…
"Commander Gong, don't worry."
Sitting in Gong Lucai's division headquarters, Fa Zheng said: "Our commander has already said that Commander Gong's family will definitely be rescued by every means. Commander Gong does not need to worry."
"You are talking lightly." Gong Lucai said with a gloomy face: "My wife married me when she was 16 years old. I had nothing at that time. The warlords fought in a melee, and my side lost. A hole was punched in my stomach. I struggled I returned home and fainted as soon as I entered the house. My family was poor and we didn’t even have money to hire a doctor.
My wife found a doctor, kowtowed to him, and knelt at his door for an hour. The doctor finally felt compassion. But when it was time to get medicine, and there was no money, my wife sold the dilapidated thatched cottage we lived in, and she, a woman, carried me, a grown man, on her back, found a dilapidated temple, and then helped me get medicine.
My life was saved by my wife. I have sworn that if I become prosperous in the future, I will never treat my wife badly. Yes, I became a traitor, but I regret it. I think anyway, but as long as I can't see my wife escape, I would rather bear the reputation of being a traitor for the rest of my life than let anything happen to him. Mr. Fa, I hope You can understand my painstaking efforts. "
"I know, we keep our word!"
Although Fazheng said this with his mouth, he had no idea in his heart.
Gong Lucai's family is in Nanjing. Will colleagues in Nanjing take action as soon as possible?
…
Nanjing.
After the massacre, Nanjing regained some of its vitality.
By 1940, Nanjing's population had recovered to 600,000.
A band was playing music on the roadside.
These are all tunes for Sino-Japanese friendship composed by the Wang puppet regime.
Under the guard box, a traffic policeman wearing a helmet stood there directing traffic.
A policeman with a bayonet-mounted rifle stood aside for protection.
"boom"!
A gunshot rang out from nowhere.
The helmeted traffic policeman and the policeman holding a rifle moved in unison, and they fell to the ground almost at the same time.
Flyers were dropped from a tall building.
"Down with Japanese imperialism!"
"The whole nation unites and the war of resistance will be won!"
These slogans are all on the flyers.
A sharp whistle sounded.
The ordinary people squatted on the ground and hugged their heads.
Someone wanted to pick up the leaflets, but his companion immediately shouted in a low voice: "You don't want your life, the Japanese will search you, and if they find you, they will take you to the gendarmerie to feed the wolves and dogs!"
The man retracted his hand reluctantly.
"Who did it?"
"Resistance organization."
"Yesterday, the traitor named He in the police station was killed by them, right?"
"Who else is there besides them? Hush, stop talking, the Japanese are coming."
A large group of Japanese soldiers and police appeared.
The road was quickly blocked.
Fake police officers cleared flyers and checked the crowds.
The Japanese soldiers were holding bayonets and watching eagerly from the side.
According to past experience, the shooters and those distributing leaflets had already fled.
In all likelihood, it was the military commander who did it.
Checking these people now is just a routine matter.
"Hey, get up."
Captain Ma called out a well-dressed man who seemed to be a businessman.
The businessman was followed by three clerks.
"Certificate!"
The businessman quickly took out his certificate and handed it over.
Captain Ma checked the good citizen certificate: "Wei Xiaobao!"
"Yes, yes, it's me."
"A big man, his name is this."
"My father is uneducated and a country boy."
"Where did it come from?"
"Anhui."
"What are you doing in Nanjing?"
"Doing business."
"What deal?"
"Perfume maker."
Captain Ma glanced at him sideways: "I see you are not in business, you are in the military command."
Wei Xiaobao was so frightened that he said, "Sir, you can't talk nonsense like this. You might lose your head."
"Losing your head? The military commander is very courageous, and he is never afraid of losing his head!" Captain Ma sneered: "Come with me."
"Sir, you smoke, you smoke."
Wei Xiaobao took out a cigarette from his pocket, lit one for Captain Ma diligently, and then stuffed half a pack of cigarettes into his pocket: "I'm really here to do business. I don't dare to talk to him even if I have ten guts." The gang of desperadoes from the military command are coming and going."
From the moment he saw Wei Xiaobao, Captain Ma concluded that he was just a businessman: "You are in the perfume business, you will make a fortune from this business."
"Bring me my suitcase."
Wei Xiaobao gave an order and his follower hurriedly took the box.
Wei Xiaobao opened the box and took out a bottle of perfume from inside: "Sir, this is for your wife. I'm not bragging, my perfume is famous."
Captain Ma took it and saw that the brand was "Weiji Perfume" and stuffed it into his pocket.
Wei Xiaobao took out a few more Japanese yen and quietly put them into Captain Ma's pocket: "Sir, no matter how generous you are, I will stay in Nanjing for a few days. Find a restaurant and I'll treat you."
"seriously?"
"Really, all the expenses are mine." Wei Xiaobao came closer and said, "This is my first time in Nanjing. I don't know anyone anywhere, so you have to help me find a place to live."
Captain Ma was originally worried that the fat sheep had escaped. When he heard this, he said casually: "I don't think your coward looks like someone from the military. Come on, I am Ma Wei from the plainclothes team of the police station. You kid?" If you want to live peacefully in Nanjing, you have to follow me, Mr. Ma, and I will take you to find a hotel to settle down first."
"Thank you, Mr. Ma, thank you, Mr. Ma!"
Wei Xiaobao said repeatedly.
At this time, the inspection on the street was coming to an end.
Those who were suspected were all taken away by the Japanese.
The two traffic policemen returned to their posts.
People should do whatever they want.
It was as if everything just now had never happened.
Except for the occasional flyer that has not been cleaned up:
“The whole nation unites and the war of resistance will be won!”
