When Xu Huanshan was lurking in Nanjing in his early years, he reportedly used the disguise of a carpenter. For this reason, he also consulted real carpenters in the base area. Therefore, when these three plainclothes officers broke into the courtyard, Xu Huanshan behaved like a carpenter at work. After carefully questioning Xu Huanshan and the other two, these three plainclothes officers also searched all the rooms in the courtyard. They didn't even spare the kitchen and toilet.
Fortunately, Xu Huanshan was well prepared and was not discovered by the three plainclothes officers. They watched the three plainclothes officers rush into the yard next door. Xu Huanshan and the two secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Xu Huanshan, who has rich experience in underground intelligence work, knew that although he passed the Zhongtong's inspection, the danger still existed. According to the current situation and the situation in the city, even if the southern Sichuan guerrillas come to support him, he cannot guarantee that they can take these confidential files out of Chongqing.
After experiencing a fierce psychological struggle, Xu Huanshan finally decided to turn to Tang Cheng for help. For now, Tang Cheng may be the only person who can help him. Tang Cheng, who stayed at home, was also surprised to receive a call from Xu Huanshan, but he did not refuse to meet Xu Huanshan. The place where they met this time was not the teahouse last time, but a vegetable market not far from Xu Huanshan's new residence. This vegetable market, which exists in a small street, was formed spontaneously. Xu Huanshan chose to meet here because there are several narrow alleys in this small street, making it easy for him to evacuate at any time.
Half an hour later, Tang Cheng, dressed up, appeared in the vegetable market. Xu Huanshan was already in the vegetable market. When Tangcheng appeared, Xu Huanshan was squatting in front of a hawker, haggling with him over a chicken. Tang Cheng was very careful. After entering the market, he first used the system function to scan the identities of everyone in the market. After confirming that there were no plainclothes agents in the market, he walked slowly towards Xu Huanshan. Xu Huanshan, who was also always vigilant, immediately noticed someone appearing behind him, but he did not look back.
"Brother, you lost your money!" Tang Cheng suppressed a smile, holding a banknote between his fingers and holding it out in front of Xu Huanshan. Hearing the familiar voice, Xu Huanshan, who was still cautious at first, finally relaxed. A few minutes later, the two people in Tangcheng, each carrying vegetables, quietly turned into an alley on the side of the street. "Why are you looking for me in such a hurry? I thought you had already left!" Tang Cheng handed the vegetables in his hand to Xu Huanshan, then took out a cigarette and lit one.
"The Central Government has blocked all channels in and out of Chongqing. I heard that a few days ago, someone broke through a roadblock of the Central Government and fired shots. You should know that if I leave, I must take those things with me. Let’s leave together. It’s just that under the current circumstances, I’m not sure about leaving the city. Besides, I heard that the Central Military Commission sent people to investigate outside the city.” Xu Huanshan’s expression looked a little helpless, but Tang Cheng only smoked and did not accept his request. Chatter. Xu Huanshan knew in his heart that Tang Cheng might not be able to solve the current situation, but he could only ask Tang Cheng for help.
After Tang Cheng finished smoking a cigarette, he looked up at Xu Huanshan and spoke softly. "In your current situation, you haven't thought about contacting Zeng Jiayan? The government hasn't really broken up with you yet. Maybe Zeng Jiayan can find a way!" Tang Cheng's words made Xu Huanshan shake his head. Although the national government has not yet broken up with the Eighth Route Army, Zeng Jiayan's Eighth Route Army office has long been under strict surveillance by the military commander. It is not a good idea to contact there now.
"Those things are very important and sensitive. At this time, it is not a wise choice to contact Zeng Jiayan or the Chongqing underground party organization." Xu Huanshan shook his head and whispered. "Zeng Jiayan has long been under the surveillance of the military commander. When I came to Chongqing this time, my superiors specifically told me not to contact Zeng Jiayan's office even if it was a last resort. The government has been looking for an office. If we contact them now, we can only take the initiative to hand over the clues to the military commander."
Tang Cheng, who had already heard the meaning of Xu Huanshan's words, knew that he could not avoid this matter, so he continued Xu Huanshan's words. "My personal suggestion is that you'd better not leave Chongqing! If you are worried about those things, you can leave them to me for safekeeping first, and I will return them to you when the time comes!" Tang Cheng did not refuse to continue to help Xu Huanshan, but he refused He brought up the city matter because he was not sure that he could safely escort Xu Huanshan and the confidential files out of Chongqing.
Xu Huanshan was not stupid and naturally understood what Tang Cheng meant. After thinking about it for a while, he agreed with Tang Cheng on the time and place to meet in the evening. That night, at the agreed place, Xu Huanshan handed over all the confidential files he had taken away from the small building to Tang Cheng. Seeing Xu Huanshan's hesitant expression, Tang Cheng immediately smiled and said, "Don't worry! When I got these things, I didn't even try to snatch them from you, and I won't even do that now. When the news passes, you You can contact me anytime and take your things back!”
Xu Huanshan didn't care about being ridiculed by Tang Cheng at this moment. Before parting with Tang Cheng, Xu Huanshan handed Tang Cheng a piece of the ocean with a piece missing. "This piece of ocean is a token. If I haven't contacted you in a month. Just take this piece of ocean and go to Puguang Trading Company on the dock to find the shopkeeper Sun Xiyao and hand it over to him. If you feel that he It’s worthy of your trust. You can give these things to him for safekeeping. If you can’t trust him, the things can just be left here with you!”
Tang Cheng reached out and took Dayang from Xu Huanshan. After looking at it carefully, he looked up at Xu Huanshan. The expression on Xu Huanshan's face at this moment did not look like he was explaining the funeral arrangements during the farewell. Only then did Tang Cheng feel relieved to put away Dayang. From that day on, Tangcheng returned to a lazy life of leisurely living all day long. Every day, he either went fishing and hunting with Deputy Captain Huang, or spent time in teahouses, playing mahjong with familiar buddies and chatting. The Zhongtong's search for underground party organizations in the city continues, but their efforts have not achieved much results.
Hans, who is far away in Myanmar, rarely gets telegrams back these days. Brothers Tang Hu and Tang Mo, who have been following Ma Ye and the others in northern Myanmar, will send things back from time to time. The current number of Chinese in northern Myanmar has exceeded 20,000, and the overseas Chinese who were originally scattered in northern Myanmar have now begun to migrate to northern Myanmar. Coupled with the large-scale cleanup of northern Myanmar by thousands of armed men, the local indigenous population in northern Myanmar is declining sharply. If this rate continues, it may not take more than a year for the local indigenous people in northern Myanmar to decline to an incredible level.
Not only Tang Cheng and Hans, but also the leaders of Pao Ge who participated in this plan, no one would feel sorry for these Burmese natives. When they helped the Japanese army and forced the expeditionary force to collapse, the fate of these northern Burmese natives was already doomed. All in all, things in northern Myanmar are going smoothly so far, and Hans has made friends with many powerful senior British military officials. However, the situation in Chongqing has changed day by day, becoming increasingly weird. To borrow the words of the bureau chief, even he can no longer see what kind of medicine the chairman of the committee has bought in his gourd!
Tang Cheng didn't care at all what kind of medicine the Chairman bought in his gourd. What he cared about was that Zhongtong's actions were getting more and more crazy. Wouldn't the Chairman step in to take care of it? In just one week, Zhongtong's plainclothes agents have arrested many people in the downtown area. If we say that Zhongtong's arrests are really to deal with the underground party in the city, then it's easy to say. But the people they arrested in the busy city were obviously just unrelated people, and there were even small vendors setting up stalls on the street. This was a bit unreasonable!
Under this situation, many people couldn't sit still. Deputy Captain Huang privately revealed the news to Tangcheng that the Central President was afraid that this time he would arouse public outrage. The implication of Deputy Captain Huang was that Zhongtong's actions had touched the interests and fundamentals of some people, so some people in the city planned to teach Zhongtong a lesson. But Tangcheng is not as optimistic as Deputy Commander Huang, because he knows that behind the Central Committee is the man who lives in the villa on the south bank. As long as the Chairman of the Generalissimo does not say anything, no one in Chongqing can take over the Central Committee. How about it.
Tang Cheng even made a special call to the bureau chief for this purpose. On the phone, he informed the bureau chief exactly what Deputy Captain Huang had revealed to him. "I was thinking that the changes in Zhongtong's side are quite big, and they are completely different from their original style of doing things. Last time you said that you asked me to be less involved in matters related to them, and I thought, could it be that Zhongtong's The changes were deliberately instigated by someone. The city of Chongqing cannot be considered big or small, but the one who can instruct the Central Government is probably the only one!"
"What Lao Huang told me seems quite feasible at first glance. After all, there are so many people involved. But if you think about it carefully, these people they gathered do not have high status and background. What's more, they These people are only involved in the political and business circles, but none of them hold military power. As the old saying goes! It’s unreasonable to say that a scholar meets a soldier! I don’t believe it. This guy is holding a gun in his hand. Can we still be afraid of these rabble?"
The bureau seat on the other end of the phone couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief because of Tang Cheng's words. Because before he received the call from Tang Cheng, Juntong had already received news that someone in the city wanted to deal with Zhongtong. Although Deputy Captain Huang was not a specific participant, he was very close to those people. The bureau chief was still a little worried that Tang Cheng would be dragged into this trouble by Deputy Captain Huang. Now that he is fine, he can finally feel relieved. He is very satisfied with Tang Cheng's performance just now.
