The conflict between Juntong and Zhongtong has become increasingly fierce. Although Juntong has arrested many people from Zhongtong in the past few days, these cannot harm the foundation of Zhongtong. When Zhang Jianghe came, the bureau chief was having a headache about this matter. This confession from Hashimoto Takatoshi was really timely, at least it gave the bureau chief an idea of ​​another way to deal with Zhongtong. Zhang Jianghe, who has a secret identity, also hopes that the quarrel between the military commander and the central commander will continue, and it is best to hurt both sides, so he will not persuade the bureau chief to stop midway.

In the bureau's office, Zhang Jianghe called the military camp in front of the bureau and asked the team members on duty in the military camp to immediately send Takatoshi Hashimoto to the military command headquarters. The appearance of Hashimoto Takatoshi emboldened the bureau chief. Before Zhang Jianghe returned to the military camp, the bureau chief took Hashimoto Takatoshi's confession file directly to the South Bank Villa. Tang Cheng, who learned about the situation at that time and the attitude of the bureau chief from Zhang Jianghe, couldn't help but feel secretly happy, thinking that the Central President was really going to lose his skin this time.

Sure enough, after listening to the bureau chief's face-to-face report and carefully reading the confession file brought by the bureau chief, the chairman of the committee who lived in the Nan'an Villa immediately dropped his glass. Like the bureau chief, the chairman of the committee is also suspicious of everything. The Central Command is a powerful unit, and it is also a sharp knife in the hands of the chairman. If something went wrong in such a privileged unit, how could it not make the Chairman furious? As a result, all the senior officials of Zhongtong were called to the South Bank Villa and were scolded by the Chairman.

Zhongtong was shaken up and down. Such breaking news had already spread in less than half an hour. Those thoughtful people who secretly paid attention to the development of the tense had their own understanding in their hearts. After Tang Cheng learned the news, he immediately brought people into the city. He would arrest a few more people tonight. The Chairman has always had great trust in Zhongtong, and it is impossible for him to completely hate Zhongtong because of such a trivial matter. What Tang Cheng has to do now is to add fuel to the fire so that the Chairman's anger will grow longer.

Tang Cheng's arrest operation went very smoothly. When Zhang Jianghe got the news, Tang Cheng was already on his way back to the military camp with his men. Among the targets arrested by Tangcheng tonight, there was no one from Zhongtong on the surface. However, among these prisoners, some were secretly doing smuggling business with Zhongtong, and the source of the goods was either Shanghai or Tianjin. Whether it is Shanghai or Tianjin, they have long been under the control of the Japanese army. When transporting goods from such places, can we say that they have no contact with the Japanese?

"Why did you even arrest members of the Xie family?" Zhang Jianghe, who hurried back to the military camp, was confused because the people arrested by Tangcheng tonight were all merchants in the city. Among them, the two named Xie were said to have different backgrounds. Small. After hearing this, Tang Cheng did not immediately explain, but took out a document and handed it to Zhang Jianghe. The latter took the file and opened it, and at first glance he saw the content about Hashimoto Takatoshi's contacts with the Xie family. Zhang Jianghe couldn't help but feel relieved. At this time, anyone who has anything to do with Hashimoto Takatoshi will never escape from military rule. Review.

"The Xie family is the strongest among these families. If I don't arrest the Xie family, then I won't be able to arrest the people from the other families." Tang Cheng, who was secretly paying attention to Zhang Jianghe's reaction, saw Zhang Jianghe and As if he breathed a sigh of relief, he started to explain. "The search team is affiliated under the name of the military commander, which means that we cannot have both sides, otherwise even the bureau will abandon us. The Xie family is just a reason. I do this to highlight Hashimoto Takatoshi's role in it. The function is to make those guys who are doing things behind the scenes think of Hashimoto Takatoshi, the Japanese spy, when they mention the Xie family."

When Tang Cheng said this, Zhang Jianghe immediately understood that Tang Cheng was preparing to completely tie the Xie family and Hashimoto Takatoshi together. A few minutes later, the bureau representative who received the call from Zhang Jianghe also laughed loudly on the phone. The bureau chief, who was also secretly worried about the situation at hand, learned that Tang Cheng had followed Takatoshi Hashimoto's line and arrested members of the Xie family. He immediately remembered that the Xie family was said to have a very irreconcilable relationship with the top brass of Zhongtong.

The situation was far beyond ordinary people's reaction, and he immediately realized that the Xie family's incident was an excellent opportunity, and he could use the Xie family to create some topics. The bureau chief was a resolute person. After hanging up the phone from Zhang Jianghe, the bureau chief just thought for a while and then called his secretary to explain in a low voice. Even if he looked down on those guys who were messing around in the military command headquarters, Tangcheng had to admit that the execution ability of the military command was indeed good. Zhang Jianghe called the bureau chief and ordered them. In just one hour, people began to appear one after another in Chongqing city. Rumors related to the Xie family.

The people who arrested the Xie family in Tangcheng used the name of being closely associated with Japanese spies. However, according to the rumors created by the military commander, the Xie family were already traitors secretly working for the Japanese intelligence agency. The Qiao family who had been transferred to the military commander headquarters This Gao Min is the best proof. Who is Hashimoto Takatoshi? How could the chairman of the committee who lives in the South Bank villa not know? After all, the bureau chief personally reported to him with the files, and for this he also severely reprimanded the senior officials of the Central Unification Committee.

Although the Xie family has a great business and has many acquaintances in the military and political circles, in the face of the great interests of the nation and the country, the Xie family is nothing. Rumors spread in the city, and the Xie family couldn't hold it any longer. The Xie family, who had been asking people for help, immediately became panicked. After learning about this, Tang Cheng immediately accelerated the interrogation of the human traffickers, especially the two members of the Xie family, and used all possible means. The Xie family was originally a merchant family, so how could they withstand such tactics, coupled with Tang Cheng's inducement and threats, they just poured beans through a bamboo tube and gave a clean account.

To say that no one in the Xie family knew the identity of Hashimoto Takatoshi would be a lie. In pursuit of profit, the Xie family, who were greedy for profit, deceived themselves and others into starting a contraband business with Hashimoto Takatoshi. "At least if you are not a fool, you should know the consequences of doing business with a Japanese spy. Just for a little benefit, these people pretend to be blind and stupid, do business with the Japanese openly, and use illegal business methods to disrupt The market is stable, so what is this if not a traitor?"

After getting the confession, Tang Cheng deliberately added fuel to the fire in front of Zhang Jianghe, which immediately aroused Zhang Jianghe's anger. The confession soon appeared on the bureau's desk. With the Xie family's confessions, they followed the bureau chief's thoughts even more. At the bureau chief's order, a large number of plainclothes officers from the Second Military Command Office appeared in the city, sealing up many of the Xie family's properties on site, and taking away many of them. The Shao Xie family members returned to the military command, euphemistically saying that they were assisting in the investigation.

The Xie family, which was still in the limelight before, seemed to have fallen overnight. The remaining Xie family could only look for people to help, and Zhongtong was one of them. The original intention of the bureau chief in forcing the Xie family was to force the Xie family to seek help from the Zhongtong. Only by closely linking the Xie family and the Zhongtong could he have a chance to rectify the Zhongtong. The situation seemed to be getting more and more chaotic. Tang Cheng, who was hiding behind the scenes and watching everything, was not idle. He led Zhao Dashan and the others and arrested two black marketeers in the city.

"These two guys are not simple. The tall one is called Xu Liang and the short one is called Cheng Yu. Both of them are regular customers who have been in the black market for many years. They are now the white gloves of Zhongtong in the Chongqing black market." Zhang When Jiang He asked the reason, Tang Cheng gave a very detailed answer. Of course he would not arrest these two black marketeers for no reason. Since the number of refugees going south to Chongqing has increased, there is an agreement in the Chongqing black market that all black marketeers are not allowed to transport food out of Chongqing.

It is by relying on this black market agreement and the food mobilized from the surrounding areas of Chongqing that Chongqing can accommodate the increasing number of refugees. However, these two black marketeers, who were in contact with the Xie family and Zhongtong, were not afraid of death and secretly transported grain out of Chongqing by waterway. Then they purchased a large amount of tobacco from Japanese channels and transported it back to Chongqing. Just smuggling grain out of Chongqing was enough for Tangcheng to arrest people, not to mention that these two goods also purchased large quantities of cigarettes through Japanese channels and returned to the urban areas of Chongqing where they were profitable.

The explanation given by Tang Cheng sounded reasonable and reasonable. Even Zhang Jianghe had nothing to say, not to mention that Tang Cheng and the others still had a large amount of grain and contraband stored in their sealed warehouse. In the afternoon of the same day, Tangcheng arranged for Zhao Dashan and several people to send the two black marketeers who had given clean accounts to the military command headquarters together with their confessions. Although he really didn't want to admit it, the bureau chief had to say that Tang Cheng was indeed a lucky general, and the confessions of these two black marketeers could be used to add new obstacles to the Central Government.

Tangcheng captured the Xie family and Zhongtong's white gloves in the black market in Chongqing. After that, he no longer participated in the battle between Juntong and Zhongtong. He only took Zhao Dashan and the others around the city every day, watching. Very busy. Half a month passed quickly, and it was time to harvest crops at the labor camp outside the city. Tangcheng, which had been busy since returning to Chongqing, simply gave himself a holiday and took his family to live on the farm outside the city for a few days.

"Captain, something happened in the city!" At noon that day, Tang Cheng was about to take his two twin sisters and the two children of Hans' family to fish in the creek when he suddenly received a call from Lao Fu from the city. "Because of the matter involving the Xie family, the Central Committee took the case to the chairman of the committee. I don't know how it happened. The chairman of the committee got fifty pieces each. I heard that he reprimanded the senior officials of the Central Committee in person, but Things are not going well on the military command side either. The chairman of the committee wants the bureau to lay off some of the personnel at the military command headquarters.

Redundant headquarter staff? The news told by Lao Fu on the phone greatly puzzled Tang Cheng. Compared with Zhongtong, Juntong has made great achievements in recent years. In Chongqing and its surrounding areas alone, it has continuously dug out many Japanese and puppet spies who have been lurking for many years. Moreover, the anti-traitor teams sent by the military commanders to various places followed the Chairman's instructions and eliminated many traitors who had defected to the Japanese. Why did the Chairman want to lay off the manpower at the military commanders headquarters?
