"Master said, you should be more careful in Shanghai. The little devils are very clever. There is nothing wrong with being careful!" One evening a few days later, Ma San, who came to Shanghai by water from Chongqing, was picked up by Tangcheng without anyone noticing. Entered his residence. Among Ma Ye's many apprentices, Ma San is not the one with the best skills, but he is the most trusted by Ma Ye. Moreover, Ma San has rich experience in traveling around the world, so he sent Ma San to Shanghai.
Martial arts practitioners have good appetites, especially Ma San, who, like Tang Cheng, is a meat-loving person, so Tang Cheng's study table is now filled with all kinds of cooked food. Ma San said while eating that Tang Cheng soon had a general understanding of the situation in Chongqing. Tang Cheng, who had been worried about his family, finally felt relieved when he learned that Mr. Ma had brought people back to Chongqing from Yunnan. Come.
"When I came, I went to see Stationmaster Zhang as you told me in the telegram." A pig's knuckle, which could hold a bowl, was chewed by Ma San in a few bites, leaving only the bones and sticks, faintly visible. The shiny nose and the pockmark on the tip of the nose were changing positions back and forth with Ma San's movements. Swallowing the meat in his mouth, Ma San reached out and grabbed the roast chicken again, "Everything is fine at Station Master Zhang's side, but at the end of last month, I heard that several people at Station Commander Zhang's side died. , something happened over there in the south of the city."
After talking about the situation of his family in Tangcheng, Ma San talked about the Chongqing station and the investigation team. Compared with the Chongqing station, when Ma San talked about the investigation team, he was much more detailed. "As well as your subordinates, they have been a little undisciplined a while ago, but Station Commander Zhang wants me to tell you that your subordinates may be recruited to Wuhan. It is said that it is because there is a shortage of people at the Intelligence Division headquarters, and then Some people say that your investigation team is good, and they are planning to recruit them to Wuhan to help track down Japanese spies."
The investigation team is the foundation of Tangcheng's foothold in Chongqing. If the investigation team is recruited elsewhere by the Intelligence Department, when Tangcheng returns to Chongqing, he will become a lonely commander. After hearing the news, Tang Cheng's face showed anger. He risked his life in Shanghai and helped the Intelligence Department to attack and kill people from Ttech. However, his old foundation in Chongqing was destroyed. The intelligence department is in trouble, and it makes me feel cold just thinking about it.
Ma San saw all the changes in Tang Cheng's expression. He had been warned repeatedly before coming to Shanghai. He couldn't help but secretly chuckle in his heart, because Tang Cheng's reaction at this moment had already been expected by Webmaster Zhang. No two. "Webmaster Zhang said that he wants you to work hard in Shanghai and you don't need to worry about other things. He is there in Chongqing. If those people are gone, they will be gone. At worst, we can just recruit them again in the future." Ma San's original words were quoted. After Zhang Jianghe's words, when he looked at Tang Cheng again, his expression no longer seemed as angry as before.
How could Tang Cheng not hear the deep meaning hidden in Zhang Jianghe's words? This meant that he should be more careful in his work in Shanghai. As long as he could return to Chongqing safely, there would be a chance for him to make a comeback. This is called retention. There is no need to worry about the lack of firewood in the green hills. Slowly exhaling, Tang Cheng nodded slightly, "Don't worry, I know what to do! Since they have already taken action against my people who stayed in Chongqing, this means that I will almost be transferred back." Chongqing, otherwise they wouldn’t transfer my people at this time.”
Tang Cheng's words made Ma San stop his movements and look at Tang Cheng with a scrutinizing look. Ma San followed Ma Ye south to Chongqing, and then went to Yunnan to do business. Ma San only learned about many things done in Tangcheng from other senior brothers. This time I came to Shanghai to see Tangcheng again. Ma San’s impression of Tangcheng was still the image of the little policeman in Nanjing City at that time. Unexpectedly, after not seeing each other for more than half a year, Ma San’s former little policeman had grown to such an extent. .
"Mr. Sun said the same thing when I came here. As long as you are fine, there is no need to worry too much about other things." Sun Miao was a gentleman that Tang Cheng found for himself when he was in Nanjing. Mr. Ma came to Chongqing. At that time, Sun Miao accompanied him, and then they went to Yunnan to work together. Sun Miao, who has no children, has regarded Tangcheng as his descendant to a certain extent. When Ma San came to Shanghai, Sun Miao did not hesitate to explain things to Ma San.
"The elders in the family are worried!" Regardless of whether it is Ma Ye or Sun Miao, Tang Cheng has always respected them very much. The two asked Ma San to give him a message. Tang Cheng knew that this was an act of concern from the elders. Ma San narrowed his eyes and laughed when he heard this. He has been following Master Ma all over the world since he was a child. He has been testing Tang City since he entered. After all, Master Ma wants to retire in the Tang family and escape from the world. As an apprentice, Ma San must first Understand Tang Cheng’s character.
Ma San had a big appetite, and he quickly wiped away all the cooked food on the table. He burped hard, and finally drank a large glass of Coke. Ma San felt comfortable now. After waiting for Ma San to eat and drink enough, Tang Cheng revealed the reason why he wanted Ma San to send someone to Shanghai. "Three, this time I want to send someone from my family to Shanghai, mainly to bring a batch of things back. I don't feel comfortable using outsiders." As he spoke, Tang Cheng turned around and opened the safe in the study and took out two The heavy tin box comes.
When Ma San opened the box, he saw colorful foreign banknotes. The foreign banknotes he took out from the box soon piled up in a small pile on the table. "Third brother, these are British pounds and U.S. dollars, and there are also some francs. If they were all converted into U.S. dollars, it would be almost 100,000 U.S. dollars. Under the bed in my bedroom, there are two packages of gold bars, one package contains 30 large yellow croakers, and one package contains 30 large yellow croakers. The bag is fifty small yellow croakers, and you have to take all these things back to Mr. Ma and Mr. Sun."
Just the foreign banknotes on the table were enough to make Ma San dumbfounded. When Tang Cheng said that there were two bags of gold bars to be brought back to Chongqing, Ma San was already dumbfounded. "Brother Tang, how can you make so much money when you come to Shanghai to kill little devils?" Although Ma Sanke has been following Ma Ye since he was a child, he has never lacked food or clothing, but he has never seen so much money, let alone 100,000 US dollars is 100,000 oceans, which he has never seen before.
Ma San took it for granted that the money Tang Cheng took out was obtained by Tang Cheng killing the Japanese in Shanghai. When Tang Cheng heard this, he couldn't help laughing immediately. "Third brother, you are so funny! The Japanese I killed were all plainclothes spies, and those kind of people are not rich people. There is no problem with the source of the money, but I won't be able to tell you the inside story now. I will wait until the next opportunity. When it arrives, I will slowly tell you what you know." The foreign currencies that Tang Cheng took out at this moment are naturally the transaction funds sent by Hans. Counting the gold bars under the bed in the bedroom, Hans still owes Tang Cheng Part of the final payment.
Tang Cheng had no way of publicizing the deal with the German government, and he did not dare to publicize the matter to the outside world. Therefore, no matter how Ma San asked at the moment, Tang Cheng just kept changing the subject and never informed the other party of the inside story. Ma San came to Shanghai at Tangcheng's request. Not only did Ma San not use his real identity along the way, but he also used fake documents to enter the concession, so he could not stay in Shanghai for a long time.
After personally counting the banknotes on the table, Ma San, who acted steadily, asked Tang Cheng to bring the gold bars under the bed in the bedroom to the study room, and he also counted them carefully. "Third brother, go back and tell Mr. Ma and Mr. Sun that money is all external possessions. As the old saying goes, antiques in the golden age of troubled times are now in troubled times. These gold bars should be replaced with jadeite and antique calligraphy and paintings as soon as possible. Keep the foreign currency first. Well, after all, the legal currency has begun to depreciate, and foreign currencies will become more valuable in the future."
When Ma San was counting the banknotes and gold bars, Tang Cheng did not forget to explain that in this era, I am afraid no one will know the future value of antique calligraphy and paintings like him. In Ma San's opinion, gold bars are safer than foreign money and antique calligraphy and paintings after all. But when he came to Shanghai, his master and Mr. Sun both told him that after arriving in Shanghai, everything must be obeyed by Tang Cheng. So whatever Tang Cheng said at the moment, Ma San just nodded in agreement, regardless of whether he understood it or not.
The foreign banknotes and gold bars that Tangcheng took out were enough for a family of four to spend a lifetime. Sending such a large amount of money back to Chongqing was a way for Tangcheng to pave the way for future life, but the specific executor was far away. Ma Ye and Sun Miao in Chongqing. When the two old men took people to Yunnan, they took away all the spare money Tangcheng could scrape. When they returned to Chongqing a few years ago, they brought back a box of high-quality jadeite wool for the Tang family.
Originally, according to Tang Cheng's plan, Ma San would only stay in Shanghai for one night, and then take a foreign merchant ship to leave Shanghai and return to Chongqing. The shorter the time the money was wasted on the way, the better. But what Tang Cheng didn't expect was that when he was having dinner with Ma San at noon the next day, Hans suddenly called him, forcing Tang Cheng to change his plan and let Ma San stay in Shanghai for one more day. "Third brother, I will take you to a good place tonight. It means your trip to Shanghai was not in vain."
Hans called to inform Tangcheng that a senior officer of the Japanese military police headquarters received a Kwantung Army officer who came to Shanghai from outside the customs and was preparing to return to Japan yesterday. Hans's informant learned that this Kwantung Army officer was escorting a batch of gold jewelry. It was said that this person returned to Japan by sea from Shanghai in order to transport this batch of gold jewelry back to Japan. Hans, who still owed part of the final payment to Tang Cheng, took the initiative to call Tang Cheng because he had the idea of this batch of gold jewelry.
Robbery of the Japanese has never been a psychological burden for Tangcheng. Almost all Japanese doing business in China are inextricably linked to the Japanese army. Every penny they earned from China was not obtained through fair transactions, and some even colluded with the Japanese army to directly rob them.
