"The master said, you should be more careful in Shanghai, the little devil is weird, it's not a big mistake to be careful!" One evening a few days later, Ma San, who had come to Shanghai by water from Chongqing, was unknowingly taken into his residence by Tang Cheng. Ma San is not the best one among Ma Ye's many apprentices, but he is the most trusted one by Ma Ye, and Ma San has rich experience in walking the rivers and lakes, so he sent Ma San to Shanghai.

The amount of food for those who practice martial arts is good, especially Ma San, like Tang Cheng, is a person who has no meat and no joy, so Tang Cheng's study table is already full of all kinds of cooked food at the moment. Ma San said while eating, Tang Cheng quickly had a general understanding of the situation in Chongqing, and learned that Ma Ye had brought people back to Chongqing from Yunnan, and Tang Cheng, who had been worried about his family, was finally relieved.

"When I came, according to what you explained in the telegram, I went to find Stationmaster Zhang." A pork knuckle that can hold a bowl of pig's knuckle, only the bone stick was gnawed by Ma San in a few bites, and the nose was faintly shiny, and the pockmarked on the tip of the nose was changing its position back and forth with Ma San's movements. Swallowing the piece of meat in his mouth hard, Ma San reached out and grabbed the roast chicken again, "Everything is fine on Stationmaster Zhang's side, but at the end of last month, I heard that a few people died on Stationmaster Zhang's side, and it should be something wrong in the south of the city." ”

After talking about the situation of Tang Cheng's family, Ma San talked about the Chongqing station and the investigation team, compared with the Chongqing station, when Ma San talked about the investigation team, it was much more detailed. "And your subordinates, who lived a little loose a while ago, but Stationmaster Zhang asked me to tell you that your subordinates may be requisitioned to Wuhan. It is said that it is because of the lack of personnel at the headquarters of the Intelligence Department, and then some people say that your investigation team is good, and they are going to be recruited to Wuhan to help clear up the Japanese spies. ”

The investigation team is the foundation of Tang Cheng's foothold in Chongqing, and if the investigation team is requisitioned and transferred to another place by the intelligence department, when Tang Cheng returns to Chongqing, he will become a lonely commander. After Tang Cheng heard the news, his face unconsciously showed anger, he risked his life in Shanghai, and helped the intelligence department to attack and kill people in the special high-tech department everywhere, but his old foundation in Chongqing was given by the intelligence department, and he felt cold when he thought about it.

Tang Cheng's expression changed, all of which were seen by Ma San, and he couldn't help but secretly laugh in his heart after being told repeatedly before coming to Shanghai, because Tang Cheng's reaction at this moment had already been predicted by Stationmaster Zhang. "Stationmaster Zhang said that you want to work hard in Shanghai, and you don't need to worry about other things. There is him in Chongqing, and if those people are gone, there will be no more, and it will be a big deal to re-recruit them in the future. Ma Sanyuan relayed Zhang Jianghe's words, and then looked at Tang Cheng, his expression didn't seem to be as angry as just now.

Zhang Jianghe's words hidden in the deep meaning, how can Tang Cheng not hear it, this is to ask him to be more careful in Shanghai, as long as he can return to Chongqing safely, everything will have a chance to make a comeback, this is called leaving Qingshan without worrying about no firewood. Slowly exhaling a breath, Tang Cheng nodded lightly, "Don't worry, I know what to do!" Since they have already taken action against my people who stayed in Chongqing, this also means that I will almost be transferred back to Chongqing, otherwise they will not transfer my people at this time. ”

Tang Cheng's words made Ma San stop his movements and look at Tang Cheng with a scrutinizing look. Ma San followed Ma Ye south to Chongqing before, and then went to Yunnan to do business, and Ma San only learned about many things in Tang Cheng from other brothers and sisters. When he came to Shanghai to see Tang Cheng again this time, Ma San's impression of Tang Cheng was still on the image of the little policeman in Nanjing at that time.

"When I came, Mr. Sun also said the same, as long as you are fine, you don't have to worry too much about other things." Sun Miao was a gentleman that Tang Cheng found for himself when he was in Nanjing, and when Ma Ye stood in Chongqing, Sun Miao accompanied him, and then went to Yunnan to do business. Sun Miao, who has no children and no daughters under his knees, has regarded Tang Cheng as his own junior to a certain extent, and when Ma San came to Shanghai, Sun Miao did not explain things to Ma San.

"It's worried about the elders in the family!" Whether it is Ma Ye or Sun Miao, Tang Cheng has always been very respectful, and the two of them asked Ma San to bring a message to him, Tang Cheng knew that this was the concern of the elders. Ma San squinted and laughed when he heard this, he has been following Ma Ye since he was a child, and he has been testing Tang Cheng since he entered the door, after all, Ma Ye has the intention to retire in the Tang family, and Ma San, as an apprentice, must first figure out Tang Cheng's personality.

Ma San ate a lot of food, and the cooked food on the table was quickly swept away by him, and he burped hard, and finally poured a large glass of Coke into Ma San, which was comfortable. waited until Ma San was full of food and drink, and Tang Cheng said the reason why he wanted Ma Ye to send someone to Shanghai. "Three, this time I want my family to send someone to Shanghai, mainly to bring a batch of things back, and I don't worry about using outsiders." As he spoke, Tang Cheng turned around and opened the safe in the study, and took out two heavy iron boxes from it.

Opening the box, Ma San saw a colorful foreign banknote, and the foreign banknotes taken out of the box soon formed a small pile on the table. "Third brother, these are pounds and dollars, and there are some francs, if they are all converted into dollars, it will be almost 100,000 dollars. Under the bed in my bedroom, there are two packs of gold bars, one is 30 big yellow croaker, and the other is 50 small yellow croaker, all of which I have to take back and hand over to Ma Ye and Mr. Sun. ”

These foreign banknotes on the table alone were enough to make Ma San dumbfounded, and when he heard Tang Cheng say that there were still two packs of gold bars to bring back to Chongqing, Ma San was already dumbfounded. "Brother Tang, come to Shanghai to kill the little devil, can you make money like this?" Although he has followed Ma Ye to the rivers and lakes since he was a child, Ma San has never lacked food and clothing, but he has never seen so much money, let alone 100,000 US dollars, even 100,000 oceans, he has never seen it.

Ma San naturally thought that the money that Tang Cheng took out was all obtained by Tang Cheng by killing the Japanese in Shanghai, and Tang Cheng didn't hold back his laughter immediately when he heard this. "Third brother, you're so funny! The Japanese I killed were all plainclothes agents, and that kind of person was not a rich man. There's no problem with where the money came from, but I'm not going to tell you the inside story, and I'll tell you slowly when the time comes. The foreign currency that Tang Cheng took out at the moment was naturally the transaction money sent by Hans, and counting the gold bars under the bed in the bedroom, Hans still owed Tang Cheng part of the final payment.

Tang Cheng had no way to publicize the matter of making a deal with Germany, and he didn't dare to publicize it to the outside world, so no matter how Ma San asked at the moment, Tang Cheng just kept changing the topic and never told the other party the inside story. Ma San came to Shanghai at the request of Tang Cheng, and not only did Ma San not use his real identity along the way, but also used fake documents to enter the concession, so he could not stay in Shanghai for a long time.

After personally counting the banknotes on the table, Ma San, who was acting steadily, asked Tang Cheng to bring the gold bars under the bed in the bedroom to the study, and he also counted them carefully. "Third brother, you go back and tell Ma Ye and Mr. Sun that money is something outside your body. As the old saying goes, the antiques of the golden era in the troubled times are the troubled times now, and these gold bars are replaced with jadeite and antique calligraphy and paintings as soon as possible. The foreign currency is kept first, after all, the fiat currency has begun to depreciate, and the foreign currency will become more and more valuable in the future. ”

When Ma San counted the banknotes and gold bars, Tang Cheng did not forget to make an explanation, in this era, I am afraid that no one will know the value of antique calligraphy and painting in the future like him. In Ma San's opinion, gold bars are safer than those foreign money and antique calligraphy and paintings, but when he came to Shanghai, the master and Mr. Sun both told him that after he arrived in Shanghai, everything must be under Tang Cheng's command. So what Tang Cheng said at the moment, Ma San didn't understand it or not, he just nodded yes.

The foreign banknotes and gold bars that Tang Cheng took out were enough for a family of four to spend for a lifetime, and sending such a large sum of money back to Chongqing was a foreshadowing for Tang Cheng's future life in advance, but the specific executors were Ma Ye and Sun Miao, who were far away in Chongqing. When the two old men took people to Yunnan, they took away all the spare money that Tang Cheng could get together at that time, and when they returned to Chongqing a year ago, they brought back a box of high-quality jade wool for the Tang family.

Originally, according to Tang Cheng's plan, Ma San would only stay in Shanghai for one night, and then leave Shanghai and return to Chongqing on a foreign merchant ship, and the shorter the delay on the way, the better. It's just that what Tang Cheng didn't expect was that when he was eating with Ma San at noon the next day, Hans suddenly made a phone call, which made Tang Cheng have to change his plan and let Ma San stay in Shanghai for one more day. "Third brother, I'll take you to a good place tonight, and it can be regarded as your trip to Shanghai in vain."

Hans made a phone call to inform Tangcheng that a senior officer of the Japanese military police headquarters had received an officer of the Kwantung Army who had come to Shanghai from Kanto to prepare for his return to the Japanese mainland. Hans's informant found out that the Kwantung Army officer was escorting a shipment of gold jewelry, and it is said that this person had returned to Japan by sea from Shanghai in order to transport this batch of gold jewelry back to Japan mainland. Hans, who still owed Tang Cheng part of the final payment, took the initiative to call Tang Cheng because of the idea of calling this batch of gold jewelry.

Robbing the Japanese, Tang Cheng has never had a psychological burden, and almost all the Japanese who do business in China are inextricably linked to the Japanese army. Every penny they earned from China was not obtained in the form of fair trade, and some even colluded with the Japanese army to directly rob it.
