Tang Shubai took out the cigarette case and came out, and took a cigarette in his mouth without hurrying: "The small mansion has two floors, and the room at the end of the second floor is Guan Maocai's study when you turn left. The bills for the private economy are in the third drawer to the right of the desk. I asked for a money order stub from the Salt Bank, dated last month. As for what you want—" Here, he took another lighter, lit it, and sold it for a pass before going on, "Actually, I can tell you that he is the one who has the problem in the courthouse, which in itself is a kind of gain." ”

Li Fengzhu, who didn't buy it, put his hand on the car lock and leaned towards the door: "This is not enough, I can't write the news of the deputy editor-in-chief of "Jinmen Daily News" in the report, right?"

Tang Shubai, who squinted, slowly spewed out wisps of smoke from his mouth, and only replied after spitting it out: "The big drawer in the middle is full of official documents, and it depends on your luck if you can find anything." ”

The car doors and windows were closed, and Li Fengzhu was so choked that he covered his mouth and coughed a few times: "Put it, put it in the official document at home...... How important can it be, let alone ...... It's a small mansion. ”

Tang Shubai turned around simply and spoke to Li Fengzhu while spewing smoke: "He has done something for Beiyang." Handling official documents in Bada Hutong is a major tradition in Beiyang. Therefore, the smaller the mansion, the more you will gain. ”

Li Fengzhu couldn't see that this was thinking of a way to play with her again, and the hand that shrank behind him was busy opening the door to disperse the smell, but was stopped by a loud shout: "Don't move! I'm doing business, you have to have a strong smell of smoke to hide from him." ”

"So......" Li Fengzhu had to raise his hand and fan it vigorously in dissatisfaction, "What is my identity?"

"A mysterious woman who doesn't speak. As he spoke, Tang Shubai spat a big puff of cigarette into her face.

Li Fengzhu swallowed his saliva, feeling slightly uneasy in his heart. If we don't have much tangible information, we can only passively listen to commands in action. Even if she digs a pit and sends her to death, she may not be able to smell the danger signal.

Tang Shubai looked coldly at her face and lost blood a little, and couldn't help laughing: "Don't be careful." I know his little mansion inside out, so you can rest assured. As long as Guan Mao doesn't get caught, it's easy to say anything else. He paused, took advantage of Li Fengzhu's unpreparedness to snatch her purse, and took out the glasses inside and put them on the bridge of her nose, "This has to be worn." Also, the shawl is hidden with him. You'll know then it's going to be useful!"

When you get on the thief ship, you are a grasshopper on a rope. Li Fengzhu lowered his head and pursed his lips, and stuffed the shawl in his hand into his bag according to his words. Looking up, he had just finished smoking a cigarette in two puffs, and then lit a new one.

Pretending to be a ghost like this, if there is big news, you must not let him go. Li Fengzhu thought so, turned his back and coughed a few times in succession.

It wasn't until the third smoke was endured that the car slowly started.

###

Guan Maocai's small mansion is in the special first district, which is the former German concession. There is the first area, and naturally there are the second, third, and so on, which were renamed after the Austrian, Russian, and Belgian concessions were recovered. Officials like to live in this area, and the special district benefits from advanced urban construction concepts, still retaining fashionable bungalows and excellent municipal construction. At the same time, it belongs to the Chinese community, and avoids giving authority to people morally.

Before getting out of the car, Tang Shubai repeatedly told her: "Remember, you can't speak, no matter what the people inside say to you, you can't even have an expression." ”

Li Fengzhu doesn't like to be passive, but she has no choice but to bow her head at the moment.

The people of the small mansion recognized the car, saw it from afar, and greeted it and opened the door.

Tang Shubai snapped his fingers at Li Fengzhu, signaling that she must act according to her eyes at this moment.

The two of them came all the way to the living room, where a servant woman was cleaning, and when she saw a guest coming, she quickly put down her work and came out of the kitchen with tea.

"Brother, it's rare that you get up early!"

Li Fengzhu first heard a burst of laughter coming from the second floor, and then saw a man in a gray satin nightgown. Needless to say, it must be Guan Maocai, the owner of the bungalow. I saw that his hair was shiny and shiny, his temples were slightly white, and he was always in his fifties. The physique is not fat, but the belly is really conspicuous. With a white face, you can see at a glance that he is a "big man" who has never suffered from hard work.

Guan Maocai didn't recognize Li Fengzhu, and there was even a faint look of resistance in his eyes. It seems that he didn't know that Tang Shubai would bring a living person before he met him. He looked Li Fengzhutong up and down the ground, and the cheongsam on his body was the most ordinary Xia cloth on the street. The loose cut is not only not fashionable, but also a little dirty. There is a pair of brown lenses on the bridge of the nose, which obscures most of the brilliance of the eyes, which is quite old and dull. Guan Maocai guessed that she was a woman with a career, and couldn't help but tighten her nightgown in embarrassment, laughing dryly, and couldn't help but feel embarrassed by her indecent clothes.

Tang Shubai stood up to himself, arched his hands and replied: "Brother is really ashamed, for such a golden and jade saying as 'the plan of the day lies in the morning', it is always regarded as a deaf ear. Unlike your brother, it's rare that today is a week, or a big day, and it can be called a reserved karma. ”

Li Fengzhu was a little overwhelmed at first, his eyes sneaked around several times, and finally he stood up with Tang Shubai, pulling the corners of his mouth and smiling reluctantly.

Tang Shubai took a step forward and took the initiative to introduce the two of them to each other: "This lady came from Japan all the way across the ocean, and she is really not proficient in Chinese. ”

Well, it turned out to be such an identity. Li Fengzhu thought in his heart, with the language barrier as a pretext, it was easy to perfunctory mistakes in the action, and he was not as nervous as he was at the beginning.

As for Guan Maocai, when he heard the word "Japan", his face was really good-looking. For a while, I was very panicked, and then I had a reaction to avoid it. In the end, he ran down in three steps and two steps, looked at Li Fengzhu diligently several times, and then smiled at Tang Shubai and asked, "It's really presumptuous, what should I call it?"

Tang Shubai scratched his nose with his fingertips and said abruptly: "I can't hide it, I ...... it I was woken up early in the morning by a phone call, and I was asked to pick up someone at Haiguang Temple, and then I came directly to you. ”

Li Fengzhu immediately thought that Haiguang Temple was the territory of the garrison army, no wonder Tang Shubai was in the car, and Tang Shubai sprayed three cigarettes at her. If you don't try to cover the smell of ink on her body, this lie can't be continued.

Guan Maocai, who believed it to be true, immediately analyzed that the woman who could come to him on behalf of the garrison army alone should definitely not be underestimated. Hurriedly stretched out his hand and asked them to sit down: "Then there must be something important, I'm afraid it's still urgent!"

"Not really. When Tang Shubai said, he reached out and took out an envelope from his inner pocket, "There is a handwritten letter here." ”

Guan Maocai took it in a hurry, and after reading the content, there was some scrutiny in his eyes: "I'm afraid it's inconvenient for me to go......

Guan Mao looked at the letter, and then looked at Li Fengzhu. I thought in my heart that it didn't matter who the woman in front of me was, the garrison was just playing an oppressive role through her, and because of the situation, he might agree to the banquet. Once he openly came into contact with the Japanese and left the handle down, he had no other way back than to surrender.

Li Fengzhu was very curious about the content mentioned in the letter. It's fake, and it's real at the same time. If everything is arranged by Tang Shubai now, Guan Mao can really be fooled by this, he must have had a considerable degree of contact with the garrison army before. But he is very cautious in his actions, and looks more like an ambiguous faction, where the wind blows, and which way he falls.

Tang Shubai quietly pulled his sleeve, stepped forward and whispered: "Brother Fool thinks that since you just invited a lady, or a lady who doesn't know much Chinese, to invite you to go, there should be no coercion, and there is just full sincerity." ”

When Li Fengzhu heard this, he smiled cooperatively.

Guan Maocai smiled back politely, and sure enough, he thought she was a Japanese, so he didn't pay much attention to it: "Some discussions will be done." Business can be done, but it must be top-secret. ”

"Understood, understood. Tang Shubai responded in a deep voice, turned his head and acted as a translator in a fashionable manner, first said two sentences in Japanese, and then said to Li Fengzhu in a breathless voice, "Look at my eyes for a while, and nod at him." ”

Li Fengzhu snorted in his nose and agreed.

Guan Maocai snorted for her, which made her spine feel a little cold.

Tang Shubai stretched out his index finger and hooked the letter in Guan Maocai's hand twice: "I told her that for long-term planning, this thing has to be burned." ”

Guan Maocai nodded frequently, but his face was embarrassed: "She doesn't seem to be happy." ”

Tang Shubai sighed in embarrassment, frowned, and said, "Naturally, the garrison army just wants to leave a handle so that you can cut off your back road." However, she has a good plan, and I have a wall ladder. I told her that there are already many reporters outside who are suspicious of the case of abandoning relatives, and we must be cautious at this time. ”

Guan Maocai deeply agrees with this: "Yes, yes, there is a girl named 'Li Fengzhu' in Ta Kung Pao who is particularly difficult! I am very strict and guarded, but she seems to have her eyes on me. So, let's keep a low profile. ”

Li Fengzhu heard his name from his mouth, and his heart first jumped, followed by a cloud of anger, and glared at him inattentively.

Guan Maocai didn't know that this might cause trouble.

Tang Shubai was also a little uncontrollable, secretly laughed twice, and said seriously: "You have to remember me!" Then, he turned his head to Li Fengzhu's ear and made some negotiations softly. After receiving the so-called "approval", the match was struck and the letter was destroyed.

Guan Mao breathed a sigh of relief, and a pleasant smile finally appeared on his pale face. The bulging belly is facing the ceiling, making a smug gesture.
