After Wu Guanli escaped, he quickly got in touch with Ren Daoyuan.
Wu Guanli cried and cried: "Mr. Ren, the Secret Service is really lawless. I just wrote an article without naming anyone, and they rushed to arrest people."
As a literati, he can act like a gangster in his writing, but when he encounters a gangster, he becomes intimidated.
Ren Daoyuan asked: "How did you escape?"
"Someone called me, and as soon as I left the house, someone from the Secret Service came to the door."
Ren Daoyuan said angrily: "Li Junshi is too despicable."
Wu Guanli said: "Mr. Ren, we can't bear this tone."
In terms of qualifications and strength, Ren Daoyuan is not inferior to Li Junshi.
He was angry, and of course he hoped that Ren Daoyuan could stand up for him. It would be better to remove Li Junshi from power, that would be comfortable.
Ren Daoyuan said slowly: "Li Junshi is now the governor of Jiangsu and the commander of security. My first front army will be under his control. He has discovered you. There is no point in retaliating at this time. We can only wait for the opportunity."
Of course he could break up with Li Junshi, but without a good chance, he could only endure it.
However, after a few days, the opportunity came.
In Henglin Town at the junction of Changzhou and Wuxi, an incident of people snatching military rice occurred, which made the wily Ren Daoyuan smell an opportunity.
Henglin Town is a grain distribution center on the Beijing-Shanghai line. The Nissho Daimaru Company here is the main procurement station for Japanese and puppet military grain.
Because the local people could not tolerate the Japanese and puppet food control, more than a thousand people attacked the "Qingxiang" blockade, attacked the military grain station, stole more than 400 shi of military rice, burned down dozens of houses, killed Japanese and puppet military police, and burned down the military grain warehouse. , dozens of people also died.
Neither the Japanese nor the puppets could figure out the truth of the incident. Some people thought it was the precursor of the New Fourth Army's attack on Nanjing, while others said it was farmers' resistance to the sale of military rice.
After Ren Daoyuan heard the news, he immediately asked people to spread the news, saying that Li Junshi was instigating bandits to steal rice.
After Li Junshi heard the news, he was furious.
He immediately ordered Xie Xuan to go to Henglin Town to investigate the truth of the matter.
Xie Xuan has been in Shenpu these days, and took the opportunity of chasing Wu Guanli to meet Gong Bing.
Gong Bing suggested to Xie Xuan whether to have a relationship with Gu Jiahan?
This is really a fatal temptation for Xie Xuan.
He knew that Gong Bing was not trying to fulfill himself, but to benefit his work.
However, Xie Xuan finally refused.
He feels that he may be running between Shenpu and Suzhou, and it is not the time to connect with Gu Jiahan yet.
After all, Xie Xuan has a special status. If he has too much contact with Gu Jiahan, it will endanger her safety.
Only when Xie Xuan returns to Shenpu to stay permanently will he arrange for Gu Jiahan to contact him.
Ueno Naomi stares at him every day, and she also knows the existence of Gu Jiahan. Xie Xuan does not want Ueno Naomi to become Oishi Sachiko and stare at Gu Jiahan like a mad dog.
Xie Xuan only wanted to arrange a reasonable identity for Gu Jiahan in Shenpu this time, so that she could conduct public activities in the future or appear by his side naturally.
After receiving Li Junshi's order, Xie Xuan met with Gong Bing again. He wanted to know the situation in Henglin Town and whether our party was involved.
Gong Bing said: "I just learned about what happened in Henglin Town. It was a spontaneous act by the local people. If the people are about to starve to death, they will definitely resist."
Xie Xuan said: "Wherever there is oppression, there is resistance. There is really nothing wrong with it. The Japanese and puppets are going against the grain and are destined to perish."
At this time, Wang Puppet implemented food control. Puppet government officials colluded with Japanese soldiers and businessmen to purchase military grain from the people at low prices and devour rationed materials, then resold them at high prices to make profits.
The price the Japanese army purchased for military rice was generally 30% to 40% lower than the market price, and then rationed soap, kerosene, sugar and other controlled supplies at public prices. However, these rationed supplies were often misappropriated by those who handled them.
Although Henglin Town is a food distribution center, the local people cannot even eat, which shows how corrupt the Wang Puppet regime has become.
Gong Bing asked: "When you go to Henglin Town this time, do you want Yang Zhiyi's radio station to go with you?"
Xie Xuan shook his head: "No need. Every time I go on a business trip, Yang Zhiyi's radio station follows me. Even if they don't doubt it, they should have guessed that my status is special."
"That's why I asked you to connect with them."
"They just came back from Suzhou, let them rest for a while first. Wait until I come back from Henglin Town, and then we'll make arrangements to get in touch with them."
"Okay, how are you going to arrange them?"
The superiors intend to hand over Yang Zhiyi's radio station to Xie Xuan for cooperation. After all, Xie Xuan's information is the most important. In order to cooperate with Xie Xuan, no matter what kind of personnel are equipped, it is worthwhile.
Xie Xuan muttered: "Let them operate with their current identities, and I will arrange suitable identities for them when the time comes."
He originally planned to let Gu Jiahan return to Jiqing Tea House, which was the intelligence station they originally established. Gu Jiahan and Yang Zhiyi were familiar with the environment there, and they would probably be willing to go back.
But after careful consideration, Xie Xuan felt that it was inappropriate for her to return to Jiqing Tea House.
Ji Qing Tea House had been involved in underground gangs back then. If Gu Jiahan suddenly came back, what would the people in the Secret Service think?
It's better to let her act as Han Panggu. Shenpu is so big and has a population of millions. If she changes her name, most people really can't find it.
Moreover, although Han Pogu's appearance has not changed much, her temperament is completely different from before.
Her face had long since lost its original youthfulness and innocence, and had become mature and charming.
There was a traitor in our party before. After he was arrested in a county, he just changed his name and was not recognized for more than half a year.
Nowadays, the circle of people is not large, and the information is not developed. It is safer for her to act in a new identity than to return to Jiqing Tea House.
Of course, Ueno Naomi already knew about Han Suigu, as long as she didn't go into details.
Fortunately, Naomi Ueno is not a pure Japanese spy. She is an informant of the military commander, and Xie Xuan is her superior of the military commander. Even if she is staring at Han Pogu, Xie Xuan can deal with it.
Xie Xuan didn't know that Naomi Ueno had become interested in Han Suogu after she got to know her in Suzhou.
Not only because of the sensitivity of the agent, but also because she paid close attention to Xie Xuan, she felt an inexplicable rejection in her heart towards the woman who appeared next to Xie Xuan, who was also the woman Xie Xuan liked.
Not long after Xie Xuan went to Henglin Town, Ueno Naomi found an opportunity to return to Shenpu.
The underground radio station in Suzhou is controlled by the military. There is no point in her staying in Suzhou. It is better to go back to Shenpu to check the underground party radio station.
Before Xie Xuan went to Henglin Town, he first returned to Suzhou and reported to Li Junshi in person.
Unexpectedly, Li Junshi told Xie Xuan some shocking news.
This news almost made Xie Xuan's jaw drop...
