Chapter 65: Methods for Personal Gain
Zhou Changfa's clumsy temptation not only failed, but was also forcibly extorted by Tang Cheng for 500 yuan, as the head of the Chongqing workstation of the Central Union, Zhou Chu said that he was happy, but he gritted his teeth with hatred for Tang Cheng's contempt for the Central Union. However, he knew that Tang Cheng and Zhang Jianghe, the deputy head of Chongqing Station, were uncles and nephews, and this Tang City seemed to be very valued by the intelligence department, so Zhou Chu knew that if he wanted to rectify this Tang City, he had to be prepared to deal with trouble.
"This bastard boy is really bold enough, and he dares to take the money of the Central Union." Tang Cheng's blackmailing of Zhou Changfa also failed to hide it, because of the report of the eyeliner, the seat who had been staying in Chongqing Station knew about it for the first time. He didn't know that Tang Cheng tried to assassinate Zhou Changfa, he mistakenly thought that Zhou Changfa was looking for someone to deal with Tang Cheng, but it was only because Tang Cheng was in his office that day that he verbally collided with Zhou Changfa that this scene occurred.
However, he didn't expect Tang Cheng to be so bold that he would dare to blackmail Zhou Changfa, and when he received this news, he was very emotional when he was reading the official documents in the office. "Sitting down, this kid has a ruthless energy, is it a bit of a waste to talk to Zhang Jiang about peace, such a good seedling is fooled around outside." Secretary Yao is a person who is accustomed to looking at eyes, and saw that the impression of Tang Cheng was very good, so he made a timely suggestion that Tang Cheng be included in the intelligence department.
There was nothing wrong with Secretary Yao's suggestion, but when he heard this, he shook his head slightly, "Tang Cheng is Tang Qishan's son, and their Tang family is now only left with this seedling, if Tang Cheng is accepted into the intelligence department by us again, if something happens, the Tang family will be cut off." It's not that he doesn't have the idea of pulling Tang Cheng into the intelligence department, but when he thinks of Tang Qishan's life lost in order to hunt down the Japanese spies, and Tang Cheng's mother strongly opposes Tang Cheng's entry into the intelligence department, he feels powerless about it.
"Forget it, don't talk about this, you notify Zhang Jianghe to come up in five minutes, the people on that list are almost arrested, how to deal with these people, I still need to listen to his opinion." After personally inspecting Zhang Jianghe's efforts in Chongqing, he has consciously handed over many daily affairs of Chongqing Station to Zhang Jianghe for disposal, as for Xu Zifeng, the former stationmaster of Chongqing Station, he has already been transferred to Beiping by the cold treatment of the station.
Zhang Jianghe, who received Secretary Yao's notice, felt great pressure while feeling excited in his heart. As a lonely goose who has lost contact with the organization for a long time, Zhang Jianghe has been looking for an opportunity to regain contact with the organization, and on the other hand, Zhang Jianghe is also actively expanding his various channels within the intelligence department, especially the authority and channels for obtaining intelligence. The separate summons of the seat and the content to be discussed with the first meeting made Zhang Jianghe have a faint premonition in his heart, and he already knew about Xu Zifeng's transfer.
The importance of the secret list will be known to any intelligence officer who knows about it, and how to deal with those caught according to the list is definitely not something that he, the deputy station chief in charge of external operations, can interfere with. So Secretary Yao's call was an excellent signal, Zhang Jianghe, who felt that he had guessed the answer to the riddle, reached out and knocked on the door in front of him after taking a deep breath five minutes later.
With the passage of time, everything is changing, when Zhou Chu was secretly thinking about how to rectify Tang City, Zhang Jianghe was undergoing the final test of the seat, and Tang Cheng was at this time, accompanied by Yang Cheng, dressed like a rich young master, in a tavern in Jiangbei, drinking and chatting with a group of Jiangbei robe buddies. Tang Cheng will appear here, not because he is idle, but because just 2 hours ago, Yang Cheng found an important clue in an eyeliner in Jiangbei.
Yang Cheng arranged his eyeliner in Jiangbei, and on a coincidental occasion, he found that someone here in Jiangbei was smuggling firearms into Chongqing City. The people of the garrison regiment had not yet withdrawn from Jiangbei, Tang Cheng just went to find the commander of the Qu company who stayed in Jiangbei of the garrison regiment, and several Jiangbei robe brothers who were mentioned by the eyeliner quickly gathered in this tavern. The garrison regiment's action to encircle and suppress the Sun family brothers was huge, making the entire Jiangbei noisy chickens and dogs restless, and seeing with his own eyes that the originally arrogant and domineering Sun family brothers were killed one after another, these robed brothers in Jiangbei had already been soldiers, for fear that the next target of the garrison group would be themselves.
Company Commander Qu only sent a few ordinary soldiers, but he informed these robe brothers one by one, and most of them quickly appeared in front of Tang Cheng. "Ladies and gentlemen, let's just make it clear! I didn't come to Jiangbei this time for you, I just wanted to borrow your channels to inquire about the whereabouts of a batch of arms. Tang Cheng's words made most of these Jiangbei robe brothers secretly breathe a sigh of relief, because they had never touched the matter of arms.
Tang Cheng had been keeping the reactions and expressions of these Jiangbei robe buddies, and when he found that the expressions of several of them were unnatural, he already knew it in his heart. "You don't need to know who I am, Company Commander Qu can prove it for me here, what I represent is a department that you can never afford to provoke." At this point, Tang Cheng suddenly paused and deliberately unbuttoned his suit jacket so that the Jiangbei robe buddy who was looking at him could see the pistol in the holster under his arm.
"I don't want to embarrass you, but I have to get useful clues when I come to Jiangbei this time. I have to know exactly where the arms are, who the sellers and sellers are, and who is in the middle of the communication and transportation. Tang Cheng's attitude seemed very resolute, and Company Commander Qu, who had already had a tacit understanding with Tang Cheng, also slammed the tea bowl in his hand on the table at this time, and then a team of heavily armed garrison soldiers appeared outside and around the door of this tavern.
The appearance of the soldiers of the garrison regiment made the Jiangbei robe buddies present confused, and they originally wanted to be coaxed to pass the pass, but suddenly found that they were already raw pork on the chopping board at the moment, and Tang Cheng and Company Commander Qu were butchers with bone chopping knives in their hands. Of course, among these Jiangbei robe brothers, there are also many bloody people, but their flesh and blood can't resist the heavy blows of ** and copper-headed belts, so the riot in the tavern quickly calmed down.
With Company Commander Qu and the team of soldiers under him here, Tang Cheng didn't have to bother at all, and the information he wanted was quickly found. It turns out that fists are no harder than bullets, and these Jiangbei robe brothers, who look angry on the surface, are definitely smart people. "Brother Tang, these arms are all old guns, and even if they are taken back, they are not worth anything, why do you want to come to Jiangbei for a special trip?"
With the help of Company Commander Qu, Tang Cheng quickly found the arms hidden in a wine shop in Jiangbei, and after carefully looking at all the arms seized, Company Commander Qu couldn't lift his spirits at all about these old guns. Company Commander Qu's words made Tang Cheng secretly curse in his heart, and said in his heart that if your garrison regiment hadn't been suppressing bandits and fattening their purses for a while, they would have purchased a batch of new guns from Nanjing through Zhang Jianghe's channels, and your garrison regiment might still be the previous one called Huazi troops.
The actual number of the arms found in Tang Cheng is not very large, except for more than 30 old rifles mixed with a few British rifles that still smell of gun oil, and the rest are more than ten Jin-made Mauser pistols. Tang Cheng naturally couldn't say that he came to Jiangbei to find this batch of munitions, not to ask for merit from above. Tang Cheng's real purpose in coming to Jiangbei was for this special channel for smuggling arms, because he needed a smuggling channel from Sichuan to Yunnan.
"The city is busy with that list right now, and we all know it's a muddy water, so it's best to find an excuse to avoid trouble at this time. Tracking down arms smuggling is a good excuse, whether it is the city bureau or the intelligence department, it is impossible for us to track down arms in the middle section, because arms smuggling is the most annoying thing that affects social and urban stability. When asked by Yang Cheng in private, Tang Cheng gave such an answer.
"There's another one, I want to take everyone to find something to do with money." Tang Cheng did not hesitate to talk about getting money in front of Yang Cheng, and Yang Cheng was not surprised. "There are British rifles in this batch of arms, which means that this arms smuggling route can at least be connected to Yunnan or Burma. Burma produces gold and jadeite, which are the favorite things of the rich in the big cities, and I have heard that these two things are not very expensive in the local area, but because the distance is long and unsafe, so they will be worth twice as much when they are shipped inland. ”
Tang Cheng didn't hide it from Yang Cheng, and told Yang Cheng all his thoughts, and when Tang Cheng jokingly said that this was just using the signboard of the intelligence department to secretly seek personal benefits for himself, Yang Cheng's heart was full of shock and disbelief. "Captain, are you really only nineteen years old this year?" As the only person who followed Tang Cheng to Jiangbei, Yang Cheng had already been impressed by the huge plan that Tang Cheng had just said.
"That's not the point, okay!" Seeing that Yang Cheng didn't grasp the point, but questioned his age, Tang Cheng couldn't help but roll his eyes. "To tell the truth, it is actually a very dangerous thing to track down and arrest Japanese spies. My father was originally an operation captain of the Nanjing headquarters of the intelligence department, but in an operation to capture Japanese spies, he was unfortunately shot by Japanese spies and killed himself. ”
"The purpose of my investigation team is to intensify the search for Japanese spies in Chongqing, and if we can't get rid of the Japanese spies who may be lurking in Chongqing in time, the city we live in will not be safe. But action means that there will be casualties, and I don't want you to be denied the same honor as you give, so I can only compensate you in daily life, such as bonuses or various kinds of subsidies and pensions. ”
