Sure enough, just two days later, two operational captains of the Central Command were beaten up in the south of the city. Being slapped with a sap may not sound like a big deal, but it is a very embarrassing thing, especially when the people who are sapped are all members of the Central Government. After the incident happened, Zhongtong sent many people to the south of the city to investigate. Unfortunately, the south of the city was the gathering place of the three religions and nine streams in Chongqing, but not many people in the world were afraid of Zhongtong. Therefore, Zhongtong's investigation in the south of the city was destined to be fruitless.
However, Zhongtong was not stupid either. They immediately guessed that this matter must have something to do with the military command, but they had no evidence to prove it. After suffering a loss, Zhongtong will naturally retaliate, but they cannot go too far or be too obvious. After some thought, the senior officials of Zhongtong still focused their attention on Tang Cheng, who made Tang Cheng the most favored nephew of the bureau chief. Tang Cheng didn't know this at the moment. He was just worried about the situation.
Affected by the changes in the war on the front line and the strong assistance from Britain and the United States, the Chairman's attitude has become increasingly emotional. Tang Cheng learned from an acquaintance in the military command headquarters that this week alone, the Chairman's confidants in the attendant's room at Nan'an Villa had been reprimanded many times by the Chairman in public. The original harmonious relationship between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party changed due to the small thoughts of the committee members. It is said that many friction incidents have occurred between the Kuomintang Army and the Eighth Route Army in some areas under the joint control of the Kuomintang and Communist armies.
Tang Cheng felt that the current chairman of the committee should be hesitant and excited. The hesitation was because he was worried that the Eighth Route Army would develop too fast and end up with a situation where it would be too big to lose. And he was excited because of the strong assistance and support from Britain and the United States. He felt that the opportunity to unify the country had finally come. At this time, the chairman, who was more confident, naturally disliked everything. The bureau chief also happened to be the target of the chairman's time to vent because of the previous poisoning case.
Coupled with the fact that the people of Zhongtong are adding fuel to the fire behind the scenes, the current situation of the bureau has become more and more subtle. Tang Cheng didn't know how to deal with the situation, but he knew that he was being targeted again. Tang Cheng, who was originally planning to go out of the city to go fishing, just walked out of the small street and found someone following him behind him. Tang Cheng, who was sneering secretly in his heart, did not look back or stop. He just kept his original speed, mixed in with the passers-by on the street, and walked all the way south.
After walking through two street intersections in a row, the feeling of being watched still didn't dissipate, and Tang Cheng couldn't help but feel angry. However, at this moment, Tangcheng has not connected the fact that he was being watched with the changes in the military command over the past few days. It was the Zhongtong people who were secretly following and monitoring Tang Cheng. The two Zhongtong plainclothes who were following Tang Cheng had recently been transferred back from other places, so they didn't know that Tang Cheng was a difficult person to deal with.
The two Zhongtong plainclothes followed Tangcheng through several street intersections, but did not find anything magical about the Tangcheng in front of them. The two gradually forgot what others had warned them. Just when the two of them were slightly distracted, Tang Cheng, who was walking in front, suddenly turned around and got into the alley on the street. When the two of them felt something was wrong and quickly caught up, Tang Cheng could no longer be seen in the alley. The two of them screamed inwardly that it was bad, and then they chased him into the alley regardless of it.
These two plain-clothes Zhongtong officers who were walking along the street suddenly suddenly started running like crazy, and then rushed into the alley on the street with anxious faces, which naturally attracted the attention of passers-by on the street. However, these passers-by only saw two anxious-looking men rushing into the alley on the street, but no one saw them come out of the alley again. Half an hour later, someone went into the alley to urinate and saw two bodies in the alley.
Someone died here in broad daylight. Naturally, this matter had to be reported to the police. The police who arrived later carefully examined the two corpses, but could not find anything from the corpses that could prove their identities. However, the sergeant who led the team was a wise man. He found calluses on the right index fingers and tiger's mouth of the two corpses. He concluded that the two corpses were either soldiers or plainclothes spies, because ordinary people had calluses on their right index fingers and tiger's mouth. There will be no such thing as a gun cocoon.
The situation was reported level by level, and was eventually learned by the Central Unification Committee. At this time, they also discovered that two plainclothes officers who had just been transferred back to Chongqing had lost contact. The Zhongtong people quickly rushed to the scene of the incident. After examining the two corpses, they determined that the two corpses were the two plainclothes men who had lost contact with the headquarters. Naturally, the military command also sent people to the scene, but they came to watch the excitement, because the military command headquarters did not send any plainclothes or operational personnel to this area today.
Sure enough, they saw the excitement and learned that the two corpses in the alley were from Zhongtong. These Juntong guys were overjoyed. It didn't matter that they were secretly having fun. After being seen by Zhongtong's people, a dispute broke out between the two sides, which eventually turned into a fight. Juntong was fully prepared this time. Although they did not have as many people as Zhongtong, they were all good fighters, so Juntong did not suffer in this fight.
The military command and the Central Command are both privileged departments. Fighting with bare hands like this, not to mention the passers-by on the street who have never seen it, even the police at the scene of the incident feel a headache. For them, whether it is the military commander or the central commander, they cannot afford to offend them. The helpless police officers could only act embarrassed and pretended not to know anything, and finally got into the alley in unison. The instigator, Tang Cheng, had already appeared a few streets away from the scene of the incident.
When Tang Cheng went out today, he was just out of boredom. He went out for a walk and stopped by the delicatessen he often went to to buy some braised food to take home. Who Chengxiang just went out and found that he was being followed. Naturally, Tang Cheng was furious. In that alley, after killing the two plainclothes Zhongtong officers, Tang Cheng took away everything they had on them. In order to create an alibi, Tang Cheng went to a teahouse a few streets away. The owner of this teahouse was his acquaintance, Brother Pao from the city.
Tangcheng's precautionary measures were not unreasonable. It was confirmed that two plainclothes officers sent abroad died inexplicably in an alley. Zhongtong immediately verified the mission of these two plainclothes officers. After discovering that the mission of these two unlucky guys was to stalk Tangcheng, the senior officials of Zhongtong couldn't help but feel happy. They felt that they could use this matter to hook up with Tangcheng. While Tang Cheng was sitting in the teahouse, chatting with a familiar teahouse owner, Zhongtong had already released many plainclothes officers and began to search the city for Tang Cheng's whereabouts.
Because Tang Cheng had conflicts with Zhongtong many times, and Zhongtong suffered every time, most of the plainclothes officers at Zhongtong's headquarters knew Tang Cheng. A large number of Zhongtong plainclothes officers appeared in the city, which immediately attracted the attention of many interested people, including the military commander. At this time, Tangcheng did not know that Zhongtong was preparing to cause trouble for him. He was still in the teahouse, discussing with the teahouse owner about hiring a blacksmith. The number of immigrants from northern Myanmar is increasing every day, and there is a huge shortage of farm tools. Tangcheng is in urgent need of a large number of blacksmiths to support northern Myanmar.
Tangcheng thought about mechanizing the manufacturing of ironware, but doing so would inevitably attract the attention of the government, and Tangcheng also looked down upon the country's backward mechanical equipment. Tangcheng paid close attention to the situation of the European War, hoping to wait for the end of the European War to purchase machinery and equipment from defeated Germany. As for now, as long as there is a blacksmith who is skilled in blacksmithing, it is enough to solve the problem of lack of farm tools in northern Myanmar. While the Tangcheng side was chatting enthusiastically, plainclothes officers from Zhongtong came to the door.
Realizing that the two plainclothes officers of the Central Military Commission in Tangcheng were not stupid, they did not say anything. Instead, they immediately found a place to call back and reported the current location of Tangcheng to the headquarters of the Central Military Commission. Soon other plainclothes officers from the Central Government rushed over after hearing the news, but they did not dare to do anything directly to Tangcheng. They still followed the requirements of their superiors and started tracking and monitoring Tangcheng. It's just that they have forgotten that the action team formed by Tangcheng is an expert in tracking and monitoring in Chongqing.
Therefore, when Tang Cheng came out of the teahouse, he immediately realized that someone was hiding in the dark and watching him. Tang Cheng, who was secretly laughing in his heart, would naturally not say anything. He had nothing to do, so he might as well play with these pesky flies. As a result, these Zhongtong plainclothes officers who secretly followed and monitored Tangcheng suffered a lot. Tang Cheng led them around the city. It was almost getting dark, but Tang Cheng was still wandering around the city aimlessly.
The people following Tang Cheng were also helpless, but they did not dare to do anything to Tang Cheng because they had no evidence and could confidently cause trouble with Tang Cheng. However, starting from the next day, the situation began to turn against Tangcheng, because Zhongtong finally thought of a way to control Tangcheng. Tangcheng is famous for not getting involved in politics and factions. Therefore, even if Zhongtong wants to slander Tangcheng that it is related to the underground party, no one will believe it.
The beauty trap seems to be of no use. Many people in the Central Government have seen Zhou Hongzhuang ignore her beautiful wife at home and instead go out to raise women. This kind of thing does not seem to be justified in Tangcheng. The Zhongtong side took a different approach and thought of a better way. In order to deal with Tangcheng, they used a puppet spy Wang who had been targeted by them long ago and instigated rebellion.
The Zhongtong plan was to use this Wang puppet agent to design Tangcheng to be related to this person, and then through Tangcheng to connect the bureau with the Nanjing puppet government. The Nanjing government is now panic-stricken. It has sent people to Chongqing many times to try to release goodwill and promote peace talks between the government and the Japanese. Even if negotiations cannot be facilitated, at least the national government must not care about the responsibilities of members of the pseudo-government.
