The stone that fell outside the door was quickly picked up and brought into the house. The brown paper wrapped around the stone made the man in the long gown and others look pale. "Are my mahjong skills very good? If I find out that you are following me again, I will uproot you!" There were not many words on the vellum paper, but the profound meaning in it made the man in the long gown and others shudder. When the word Mahjong appeared on the kraft paper, the man in the long gown immediately realized that this thing should have been thrown in by the bearded man who was being followed by the three of them.
Tang Cheng, who threw stones to warn the underground party, had already returned to the main street. He did not want to become an enemy of the underground party, but he just did not want to cause unnecessary trouble. No matter why the underground party members were following him, Tang Cheng did not want to have contact with them. Even his old friend Xu Huanshan, Tang Cheng did not want to contact him again. It is a pity that Tangcheng underestimated the development of the situation, as well as the series of impacts caused by the changes in the situation, and the various variables that he could not imagine.
After Thousand Stone warned those in the Chongqing underground party, in the next few days, Tang Cheng would be careful about his surroundings whenever he went out, and he no longer found himself being watched. Tang Cheng finally felt relieved. With the changes in the war ahead, the immigrant population in Chongqing has also increased, and there is a mix of people from all walks of life. "Captain, our people had a conflict with Zhongtong's people in the city, and Lao Liu and the others were taken away by Zhongtong's people!"
Tang Cheng, who had just returned from a labor camp outside the city, took only a few sips of a cup of herbal tea before an anxious Zhao Dashan pushed open the door and broke into Tang Cheng's office. "People from Zhongtong? What's going on? Aren't Lao Liu and the others supposed to patrol the south side of the city today? Why did they bump into people from Zhongtong?" Tangcheng did not react immediately because of Zhao Dashan's words. Instead, he continued to sit on the sofa and sip herbal tea.
Tang Cheng's calmness caused the anxious Zhao Dashan to calm down subconsciously. Following Tang Cheng's instructions, Zhao Dashan spoke after sitting down on the sofa. "According to the mission arrangement, Lao Liu and the others did go to the south of the city for inspection today, but what they didn't expect was that the Zhongtong also happened to be taking action in the south of the city today. When the people from the Zhongtong took away Lao Liu and the others, they just said that they would take people back to investigate. , but did not say the specific content.”
Zhao Dashan didn't add any exaggeration, he just told the truth about the situation at that time. Zhao Dashan actually didn't know the specific things. He only heard what people in the store in the south of the city said. The Central Command and the Military Command have been at odds for a long time. As long as they find an opportunity, the two sides will undermine each other. What Tangcheng is now considering is whether the Central Command's move today was premeditated. "You should immediately take a few people to Zhongtong to ask for someone. Even if the people don't come out, at least you can prevent Lao Liu and the others from suffering at the hands of Zhongtong!"
Tang Cheng sent Zhao Dashan away and immediately went to Zhang Jianghe's office. Unfortunately, Zhang Jianghe happened to be away. Even Secretary Zhou, who had been following Zhang Jianghe all day, was not in the military camp. "Come here and come with me." Tang Cheng, who had no intention of waiting in the military camp, immediately chose to go out and brought several members of the arresting team with him. Half an hour later, Tang Cheng and others gathered with Zhao Dashan. As Tang Cheng guessed, Zhao Dashan did not ask anyone to come out.
"Captain, I just asked, Lao Liu and the others were brought here! I asked them, and they said that Lao Liu and the others were brought here because they hindered Zhongtong's arrest operation today. We're here for questioning and investigation." Zhao Dashan, who has always been good-tempered, had a look of violence in his eyes. Only after Tang Cheng asked other people did he find out that one of the several team members captured here by the Central Command was Zhao Dashan's nephew. .
"Old Zhao, don't worry! You go and ask again now. If they still refuse to let him go, you can come back directly!" Tang Cheng, who had long seen someone pointing towards him at the courtyard gate, forcefully Renren called Zhao Dashan angrily and whispered a few words. Zhao Dashan listened to Tang Cheng's explanation, then nodded slightly, turned around and walked towards the yard across the street. Tangcheng sent Zhao Dashan to inquire again, but it was actually just a test. Sure enough, Zhao Dashan was blocked by the people in the yard before he could even enter the yard.
"The Qiulin Hotel, two streets away from here, is a stronghold of Zhongtong. Since they won't let people go, let's just grab a few people from Zhongtong and replace them with them!" Tang Cheng deliberately didn't look at it. With an angry expression on Zhao Dashan's face, he was just waiting for Zhao Dashan to return to him before informing Zhao Dashan and others of his plans. From the very beginning, Tang Cheng did not expect to successfully get back Lao Liu and others from Zhongtong, so when he left the military camp, he took the capture team members with him.
Qiulin Hotel is just two streets away. The business here is not very good, and Zhongtong just uses it as a secret stronghold. When a large group of Tang Cheng and others entered the Qiulin Hotel, Ma Hai and Mo Dachuan, who were chatting behind the counter, had already noticed something was wrong. However, before they could react, several pistols were pressed against their heads. "Do you know where this place is? If you dare to come here to look for trouble, I think you are tired of living!"
Ma Hai was surprised to see that Tang Cheng and the others were in trouble. They were the Pao Ge forces in the city. However, when he saw clearly that Zhao Dashan and others were holding Browning pistols, he suddenly realized that they were pointing guns at them. These new faces of himself and Mo Dachuan may all be part of the establishment. It's good if you have some skills on your body, at least you won't be a desperado who lives in the world. As a member of the Central Unification, Ma Hai regained his confidence in an instant.
Compared with Ma Hai, Mo Dachuan looks honest and honest, but is actually cunning. Compared with Ma Hai, who is fierce and shy, Mo Dachuan is much more honest. "Everyone, stay where you are and don't move around. We will only arrest the people we want to arrest. Unrelated personnel can leave on their own after we leave." Tang Cheng pointed at a few people in the hotel lobby with an expressionless face, including The six people in Ma Hai and Mo Dachuan were quickly gathered together by Zhao Dashan.
"Go back and tell your leader that your people were taken away by the search team. When we send our people back, your people can come back safely. If our people are tortured or tortured by you, Your people will definitely be treated the same. The search team has always believed in the courtesy-reciprocal way of making friends!" There were more than just Ma Hai and the other six Zhongtong agents in the Qiulin Hotel, so before leaving, Tang Cheng specifically pointed at a Zhongtong agent. The special agent gave a few special instructions.
As early as in Nanjing, Tang Cheng had dealt with Zhongtong more than once. After coming to Chongqing, Tang Cheng also used his own ability to slap Zhongtong in the face. This time, Tang Cheng also didn't want to get along with Zhongtong. Since Zhongtong had arrested one of his own people and deliberately refused to release them, Tang Cheng had no choice but to play a trick with the other party, arrest each other's people and then exchange them fairly. Qiulin Hotel is not far from the compound where Tangcheng and the others went before, so before Tangcheng and the others returned to the military camp, the news of the incident at Qiulin Hotel had already been known to the senior officials of Zhongtong.
"What's going on?" The Central Command is also an intelligence department. Although they mainly deal with underground party organizations in the Kuomintang-controlled areas, they cannot be dealt with by just any force. When they learned that it was a search team that arrested people from the Qiulin Hotel, the first reaction of the senior officials of the Central Government was to find out what happened. According to their understanding of the search team, this team was specially designed to deal with the Japanese puppets in the city. The spies' non-staff troops will never take the initiative to participate in the struggle between the Central Unification and the Military Unification.
Like the departmental establishment of the military commander, the central commander also had vertical leadership. After a few phone calls, the truth of the matter was quickly understood. "Since it was already proven that he was a member of the search team at that time, why did you still insist on taking him back? Afterwards, people from their side also came to explain, why did you still refuse to release him?" Captured Lao Liu and others. Xie Peilin, the leader of the Central Command Operation, was scolded by the angry-looking senior officials. The worst thing was that Xie Peilin actually ordered his team members to torture Lao Liu and others.
Relying on the name of Zhongtong, they deliberately arrested people from the search team. Not only did they not release them afterwards, they also tortured the people in the search team even though they knew their identities. The top brass of Zhongtong were persecuted by Xie Peilin and others. His brain's actions almost made him angry. The main reason why the military commander has been repeatedly praised in front of the chairman of the committee these few times is because of this little-known search team. Although the search team is apparently an idle establishment affiliated with the military commander, everyone knows that the search team is basically a non-staff force of the military commander.
In particular, this non-staff and idle department, which is almost composed of veteran police officers and civilians, has repeatedly captured Japanese and puppet spies in the city. It is no longer a matter of a day or two for the top brass of the Central United States to covet this non-staff force of the military commander. It's fine now. Because of the arrogant and domineering behavior of Xie Peilin and others, Zhongtong has truly offended the search team. Not only Xie Peilin, but also Tangcheng didn't know about the various plans of the top leaders of Zhongtong.
Tang Cheng and the others had already returned to the military camp. As soon as Ma Hai and others arrived at the military camp, they were ordered by Tang Cheng to be imprisoned in a dungeon. Although no torture methods were used, a damp and dark dungeon was not a good place. Zhang Jianghe, who had no knowledge of this matter, originally thought that Tangcheng and the others had captured another Japanese spy. After careful questioning, Zhang Jianghe found out that Ma Hai and others who had been brought back to the military command by Tangcheng and the others were all He is from Zhongtong.
"I didn't want to do this either, but the Central Government arrested our people for no reason and kept them in jail. I had no choice but to arrest their people too, and we would exchange personnel later!" Zhang Jiang said He called Tang Cheng into the office to ask, and he answered very confidently. Zhang Jianghe, who was furious, stretched out his hand to knock on Tang Cheng's chest. Seeing that Tang Cheng refused to dodge, Zhang Jianghe was reluctant to knock down in the end.
