Volume I, Chapter XVIII

Shi Shuli brought people to Wang Yunqing's house in a menacing manner, and the spies carefully searched the front and back of the Wang family's house, inside and out, and found no trace of Wang Yurong. Shi Shuli felt very strange, so he asked someone to bring Wang Yunqing and his wife to ask Wang Yurong's whereabouts. Shi Shuli knew the relationship between Wang Yunqing and Yamamoto and Ma Liangchen, although he was angry to death by Wang Yunqing and his wife, but he didn't dare to be rude, so he had to disappoint the fun and return to Ono to make a mistake.

Shi Shuli didn't catch Wang Yurong like letting a boiled duck fly, Ono was almost mad, he slapped the table and roared at Shi Shuli.

"Shi Shuli, you have done everything that you have caught, you are simply a stupid pig and a waste! You have betrayed the trust I have placed in you! Ono was furious, and he stepped forward and opened his bow left and right and slapped Shi Shuli twice.

Shi Shuli covered his cheeks that were beaten hotly and said: "Taijun, it is a dereliction of duty for me to let Wang Yurong go, and I ask for punishment!" ”

"I don't need you to say this, I have my own arrangements." Ono said to the people around him, "Go and find Ma Liangchen." ”

After a while, Ma Liangchen walked in, he nodded and asked, "Taijun, do you have something to do with me?" ”

Ono said to Ma Liangchen: "Ma Sang, Wang Yurong slipped away under Shi Shuli's nose. How can we catch this big fish? I'd like to hear your opinion. ”

"Taijun, after this Wang Yurong is discovered by us, she will never return to the Wang family, if she still returns to the Wang family, it will be tantamount to throwing herself into the net. She must be hiding in an unknown place now. We can arrest Wang Yunqing and his wife and torture them, but according to their personalities, even if they are beaten to death, they will not tell where Wang Yurong is hiding. So to catch Wang Yurong, I think there are eight words to follow. Ma Liangchen said that he deliberately sold a pass, and he looked at Ono and Shi Shuli and stopped talking.

The little savage asked with interest, "Oh? What eight words, you say it to me! ”

Ma Liangchen then continued: "These eight words are: brake with static, and want to capture the old and indulge." From now on, we must not have any movement to arrest Wang Yurong, and we should not set up a secret post near the Wang family's mansion. Our people should not even appear in public at Yuren Hospital. That Wang Yurong suffers from severe tuberculosis, she came to Peking to treat the disease, and if she doesn't treat the disease, she can only wait for death, so after she hides, she must contact the Yankee in Youren Hospital, the Yankee named Smith is a rope connecting Wang Yurong, and Wang Yurong can be found out along this rope. We're not going to do anything now, just keep that Yankee named Smith on the lookout, and they'll let up in a long time, and when they show their feet, we'll get the shot!" ”

Xiao also asked a little uneasily: "Ma Sang." Are you not afraid that Wang Yurong will take the opportunity to run away if you want to get away with it? ”

Ma Liangchen looked quite confident, "Taijun, that Wang Yurong is a tuberculosis who gasps when she leaves, her disease is difficult to cure, I thought she would not leave Beiping for a while." ”

Ono clapped his hands happily and exclaimed, "Okay! Masan, you have a lot of brains, I didn't misread you! He returned to his desk and sat down, and then said in a serious and loud voice: "Because Shi Shuli has made an unforgivable mistake, I announce that he will be demoted!" From now on, his position as captain was taken over by Ma Liangchen! ”

After listening to Ono's treatment of himself. The neck was weak, and the head hung down weakly.

Shi Shuli's position was Ma Liangchen's eyes for a long time, and he originally looked down on Shi Shuli for selling his wife to the throne, so he was very happy when he heard about Ono's appointment to him. Ma Liangchen concealed the joy in his heart and pretended to intercede for Shi Shuli: "Taijun, Captain Shi is loyal to the imperial army. He works diligently on weekdays, and it is certainly a dereliction of duty that he did not catch Wang Yurong this time, but the main reason is that his opponent is too cunning. Please see that he has no merit and hard work, so let him go this time! ”

Ono waved his hand. His head shook like a rattle, "No! No way! Absolutely not! To govern the army, rewards and punishments must be clearly distinguished, and Shi Shuli must be punished for dereliction of duty. If you can report Wang Yurong without avoiding family affection, you will be rewarded. Ma Sang, I have made up my mind, so don't intercede for him! You work hard, and your future is very good! ”

Ma Liangchen replied loudly with a red face: 'Yes! ”

Wang Yunqing was a scheming man, and contrary to Ma Liangchen's judgment, he hid Wang Yurong in his home. He believes that the more dangerous the hiding place, the safer it is, and the more unconventional the behavior, the more unexpected the effect. In Wang Yunqing's study, there is a wall for self-defense, and there is a dark room under the wall. The ingenuity of the design is not obvious to ordinary people, this secret is only known to Wang Yunqing and his wife, Wang Yunqing and his wife hid Yurong inside, and announced that Yurong had been hospitalized, and they hid it from everyone.

Yurong hides in the wall all day long, and all her life is carefully taken care of by her sister-in-law. After a course of penicillin injections, she felt that her coughing up blood had decreased, and her spirit was much better. During this period, Smith was secretly brought into Wang Yunqing's house by Wang Yunqing once, and after he examined Yurong's body, he was very confident in Yurong's recovery, and he left behind some injections and other medicines.

Smith's whereabouts have always been under the control of Ma Liangchen, and after receiving the news that Smith had infiltrated Wang's house, Ono decided to conduct a raid on Wang's house, but was strongly dissuaded by Ma Liangchen. Ma Liangchen believes that Smith just went to Wang's house, but he can't prove that Wang Yurong must be hiding in Wang's house, and he will continue to monitor Smith before he gets conclusive evidence. Ono thought that what Ma Liangchen said was very reasonable, so he adopted his opinion. However, Ono still thought that the matter could not be delayed for too long, and after a long time, there would be changes, so he issued a military order to Ma Liangchen, giving him a month to capture Wang Yurong within a time limit.

It was early autumn, but the weather was still very hot, and the crickets in the courtyard were already crying impatiently in the evening. In the evening, when it was just dark, Wang Yunqing went to visit his sister Yurong in the secret room of the study after dinner, and he chatted with Yurong and then came to the garden alone to enjoy the shade. There was no one in the garden, and the sound of the wind stirring the leaves reflected the silence all around, and the pots of golden cinnamon in the courtyard gave off a very strong fragrance in the twilight. Faced with this peaceful scene, Wang Yunqing's heart felt unsteady, he originally thought that the spies would not easily stop if they didn't catch Yurong, but only Shi Shuli brought people to search for them, and then they didn't see their movements. He had walked around the alley, and by his observations, he had not found anyone suspicious around his house, and he felt that this calm atmosphere did not bode well, so his mood was like a bow drawn and tense all the time. He walked over to the golden laurel tree he had planted and took a few deep breaths, and the rich, slightly sweet floral fragrance instantly penetrated his internal organs, and the tension and anxiety of many days suddenly eased a lot.

It was completely dark, Wang Yunqing was still walking in the garden, and in a trance he saw a figure next to the rockery not far away and disappeared, who was this? What do you want to do? He suddenly became alert. Wang Yunqing didn't make a sound but tiptoed over, and when he turned a rockery, he saw a black shadow pouting and lying in the grass by the rockery. Wang Yunqing shouted, "Who?" Then he lifted his foot and kicked the shadow in the ass.

"Ouch!" The black shadow let out a miserable scream and lay down on the ground, Wang Yunqing stepped forward and grabbed him, he was about to punch but found that the person he caught turned out to be a child. (To be continued......)
