Maquech was ostensibly a timber merchant, but he was also in the smuggling business in private, and the British in Burma and India were Maquech's main partners. But Tang Cheng didn't care about this, because the matter of the sniper rifle had already been reported to the Military Command Headquarters, and the Military Command Headquarters paid far more attention to this matter than Zhang Jianghe expected. With the instructions of the military command headquarters, Bai Zhanshan also showed his skills, and as soon as he came up, he punished Ma Quich.

"Marquic, you have been in business for many years, and you are a person who understands! The fact that we can bring you here from Bai Xian and the Liu family already shows the seriousness of the problem. I'll ask you again now, who exactly did you give to that sniper rifle? In the originally cold basement, because of the existence of the brazier, there was a slight warmth, but Bai Zhanshan's expression at the moment was still full of coldness.

Marqueqi, who was fixed on the wooden frame by hemp rope, was already covered in blood, and after two rounds of whipping in a row, he no longer had the arrogance and toughness he used to be. Seeing that Marquich did not react, Bai Zhanshan, whose expression was already gloomy, immediately frowned, reached out and picked up the soldering iron from the brazier beside him, and in Maquiqi's incessantly shaking his head and pleading, he directly put the soldering iron on Marquic's chest. With Marquiqi's scream like killing a pig, a burnt smell spread, but the coldness in Bai Zhanshan's eyes was a little more.

"It's still the question just now, who did you give that sniper rifle?" The soldering iron was put back into the brazier, and Bai Zhanshan, who was standing straight, still had a cold face, and repeated the question just now to Marquich. Marqueqi, who gritted his teeth and insisted, secretly regretted in his heart, regretting why he didn't pretend to be dizzy just now, looking at Bai Zhanshan's appearance, if he continued to persevere, it was likely that there would be other means used on him.

Ma Quich was right, Bai Zhanshan had boasted about Haikou in front of Zhang Jianghe before, but he couldn't pry Ma Quich's mouth open at the moment, how could Bai Zhanshan stop fighting. Forcing a confession is Bai Zhanshan's business, Tang Cheng, who is nesting in the office upstairs at the moment, is putting his feet on the desk, drinking homemade juice, and chatting with Heizi about family affairs with laughter.

Kuroko hadn't come to the barracks for a while, and since he learned that the military commander intended to incorporate the action team, Tang Cheng sent Kuroko home. The military command is a quagmire, Tang Cheng himself is unwilling to join, how can he send the sunspot into this quagmire. "Brother, you rarely go home for dinner recently, the eldest sister wants me to tell you, you have time, go home a few more times, everyone misses you very much!" Kuroko also wanted to follow Tang Cheng's example and put his feet on the table, but unfortunately his legs were too short, and he tried several times in a row without success.

Seeing this, Tang Cheng could only say that he couldn't hold back a smile and poured another glass of juice for Kuroko. "Go back and tell my eldest sister that I have had too many things recently, and when this time is over, I will go home to see you!" Tang Cheng rarely goes home, in fact, it is not that he is busy and has no time, he does this purely for the sake of his family's safety. Heizi came to the barracks today, not only to send a change of clothes to Tang Cheng, but also to bring a letter from Ma Ye.

Ma Ye is a native of the rivers and lakes, and after coming to Chongqing, although Tang Cheng provided a place and shop for Ma Ye and his apprentices, Ma Ye still likes to live in the rivers and lakes everywhere. At this time, Ma Ye is leading a group of his apprentices to engage in smuggling business on the Sino-Burmese border. According to Ma Ye's letter, they have now gained a firm foothold on the Sino-Burmese border, and after a while, they will be able to rely on the integrated few villages to expand to the surrounding areas.

"This is to be the Emperor of the Earth!" The situation that Ma Ye said in the letter made Tang Cheng a little dazed, and his biggest wish at present is to protect his family to live well in Chongqing, and then find a foothold for his family before the great era comes. arranged for Ma Ye and them to run the border smuggling business, Tang Cheng originally wanted to use this to get in touch with some powerful people and forces, but he never expected that the treacherous and cunning Ma Ye would actually hit the border with his idea.

When he got the letter from Heizi, Tang Cheng checked the envelope very secretly and confirmed that the envelope had not been opened, so Tang Cheng was relieved. So after reading the letter, Tang Cheng didn't reveal the content to Kuroko, because before he made a decision, the only person he could trust was Zhang Jianghe. After sending the sunspot away, Tang Cheng immediately went to Zhang Jianghe's office with the letter, and there were some things that he didn't want to hide from Zhang Jianghe and this elder.

"This Ma Ye is Pang Chun's master?" In the office, there are only Tang Cheng and Zhang Jianghe at the moment, so when the two talk, they don't have to be so careful. Zhang Jianghe knew Pang Chun, Zhang Jianghe, who often went home for dinner, often saw Pang Chun, who was wide and fat, wandering around the small street where his house was located, and after asking Tang Cheng, he knew that this fat man named Pang Chun was the head of the guard specially arranged by Tang Cheng in the small street.

"Pang Chun is Ma Ye's third apprentice, and when I rebuilt that small street, I left a lot of houses and shops for Ma Ye and his apprentices. It's just that people like them can't bear to be fixed in one place, so Pang Chun stayed in Chongqing and took some junior brothers and sisters to guard the small street. Tang Cheng, who was asked by Zhang Jianghe, did not hide it from Zhang Jianghe, and immediately told Zhang Jianghe all about his previous transactions with Ma Ye.

"The world is too chaotic, just having money will only cause unnecessary trouble, and if you are not careful, you may be in danger of losing your family. I just thought that I could use the power of Ma Ye to find a way out for my family, even if the situation completely collapses, our two families will have a place to stay! Where would I have thought that Ma Ye and their brains would be so big, and they have actually laid down a territory at the border. Although they are now only a few villages in the state of joint protection, once they expand to the outside world, the natives of Myanmar are not their opponents at all. ”

Zhang Jianghe immediately chuckled when he heard this, then grabbed the cigarette on the table and smashed it at Tang Cheng, "No wonder all the arms captured before are gone, did you send all those arms out of the country?" Gave them to Ma Ye? Tang Cheng, who was hit in the head by a cigarette, could only pick up the cigarette from the ground with a smile, and then put it back on the table with a smile. The arms mentioned by Zhang Jianghe at this moment are indeed related to Tang Cheng, but he did not send those arms directly out of the country.

"I don't, absolutely not!" As Tang Cheng spoke, he paid attention to Zhang Jianghe's reaction with the corner of his eye, and found that Zhang Jianghe didn't seem to be really angry, so he opened his mouth to explain to the other party. "I just gave all the arms we seized to the garrison, and that's how we got the funds for this month's activities. Ma Ye's side was the way they found themselves, the arms they bought directly from the British. ”

Tang Cheng's words made Zhang Jianghe suddenly think that Tang Cheng had helped the military commander to get two border smuggling channels, and if Ma Ye and them had a relationship with the British in Burma through these two smuggling channels, it was really possible. Thinking of this, Zhang Jianghe shook the letter in his hand at Tang Cheng and asked sharply. "Who else knows about this? Do you know that this matter can be big or small, in case some cautious people know about it, even if the bureau comes forward, I'm afraid it will be difficult to protect you? ”

Zhang Jianghe asked himself in such a tone, which made Tang Cheng immediately put his mind at ease, and then explained softly. "Uncle, you can rest assured! Ma Ye is an old man, and there is a professor from Nanjing University behind him who is helping to come up with ideas! Those two old foxes got together, and there weren't many people who could play with them! What's more, they have not been strong to carry the flag, and the people who come forward to do things are all people in the village, even if something happens, they can't find their heads! ”

Tang Cheng naturally believed in Ma Ye, but Zhang Jianghe had not dealt with Ma Ye and them, but there was still a trace of vigilance in his words. "You'd better be careful! I've heard that the headquarters is planning to set up an intelligence network in Burma, so you'd better inform them and be careful! The personnel sent by the headquarters have always been unscrupulous, and as long as they catch the slightest rumor, they can make a big article. ”

The news revealed by Zhang Jianghe at this moment was not to frighten Tang Cheng, and the Military Command Headquarters really had this idea. Tang Cheng was not afraid of this at all, but instead comforted Zhang Jianghe, "Uncle, Master Ma, they don't want to occupy the mountain and be the king or anything, they just want to prepare an extra way to retreat!" The people they gathered were also some mountain people, before Ma Ye and they appeared, that area was also the territory of the mountain people, even if the headquarters knew, what could they do, that side was overseas! ”

Tang Cheng's words are not bragging, even if the people at the military headquarters know about Ma Ye's existence, it is impossible to mobilize a large army to encircle and suppress them. One is that Ma Ye and they did not endanger the country, and the other is that it is outside the country, even if there is something, it is the responsibility of the Burmese and British, and it has nothing to do with the country at all. "Then you can do it yourself! Anyway, remember to tread carefully! Zhang Jianghe saw that he couldn't convince Tang Cheng, so he had to take gentle countermeasures.

"Uncle, I've told you everything, don't you have any other ideas?" Tang Cheng would not have no purpose, so he told Zhang Jianghe about Ma Ye and them. He has so much, one is to want Zhang Jianghe to be mentally prepared, in case the situation changes, Tang Cheng is bound to flee abroad with his two families. Second, he wanted to convey what Ma Ye and them are doing now to the Chongqing underground party organization through Zhang Jianghe. If the underground party organization is interested, it can secretly purchase medicines and materials urgently needed in the northwest from abroad through the line of Ma Ye.
