Chapter Seventy-Five: Fright

Zhang Jianghe has always had a near and distant attitude towards Wang Bingzhang, a very utilitarian person, and after learning that Wang Bingzhang called Tang Cheng and tried to get involved in this matter, Zhang Jianghe's answer was very simple. "Don't bother with him, this person has a problem with his head, and he wants to find death himself, so don't pull him." Zhang Jianghe's entire answer was definitely something in his words, Tang Cheng was not a fool, how could he not hear the deep meaning.

Tang Cheng called Zhang Jianghe, not just to inform him of the matter, so after Zhang Jianghe paused, Tang Cheng continued. "Uncle, Wang Bingzhang is a talented person who is not afraid, but I am worried about those who are looking for him. I don't think Wang Bingzhang should know what I do, but why did he call me, and as soon as he opened his mouth, he asked if the people I had arrested had already been proven. Wang Bingzhang is a cautious person, and I think that if it weren't for the fact that the person who came to him offered him a favor that he couldn't refuse, he would never take the initiative to call me. ”

"Wang Bingzhang is also the police chief of Chongqing, and he can be regarded as a character with a card, and it is definitely not easy for him to catch up with the person who stammers! Wang Bingzhang knows my relationship with your Chongqing station, and he is still trying to get people from me, I think, he may not go to find a way! If you offend him, we may face a lot of difficulties in Chongqing in the future, but if you hide it from him because of him, the military command headquarters will definitely not be able to spare you, the stationmaster. ”

"So, you think it's a dilemma?" Zhang Jianghe's reaction was not slow, and after Tang Cheng finished speaking, he immediately took over the conversation. "Actually, if you want me to say, if Wang Bingzhang is not sober himself, it will be a big deal to take him down, anyway, the headquarters has always suspected that this person is secretly sending autumn waves with the Liu family! This case involves Japanese puppet spies, no matter who dares to reach out indiscriminately, it will not end well! already understood what Tang Cheng meant, and Zhang Jianghe on the other end of the phone didn't hide it, and said a message that Tang Cheng hadn't paid attention to before.

"Uncle, you mean that the headquarters is dissatisfied with Wang Bingzhang?" The news revealed by Zhang Jianghe at this moment surprised Tang Cheng so much that he could hardly believe his ears. He clearly remembered that the last time he had dinner with those people in the garrison regiment, Zhang Jianghe didn't clink glasses and drink with Wang Bingzhang, who came uninvited? Could it be that Zhang Jianghe's performance at that time was just acting with Wang Bingzhang? If this is really the case, then isn't Wang Bingzhang being tricked?

Tang Cheng's question was not answered from Zhang Jianghe, because Zhang Jianghe didn't take Wang Bingzhang seriously at all. "Captain, what are we going to do?" Zhao Dashan and the other veteran policemen gathered in Tangcheng's office again, and in their opinion, whether it was Wang Bingzhang, the police chief, or the Chongqing Station of the military commander, they could not easily offend. Although Wang Bingzhang, the chief of police, is not as bluffing as the military commander, Wang Bingzhang has been operating in Chongqing for many years, and for Zhao Dashan and other locals, he should be more dangerous than the military commander.

"Do what you have to do! We are arresting Japanese puppet spies, and those people who were arrested later are all confessed by Japanese puppet spies, and everyone's confessions have already been obtained, this is a fact that no one can change it! Tang Cheng tapped his finger knots on the table as he looked around at everyone in the office, as if to warn Zhao Dashan and the hesitants among them. I don't care what it says from the outside, but inside us, there must be no different voices and opinions. ”

Tang Cheng did not show much strength since the formation of the special investigation team, and he was polite to old policemen like Zhao Dashan on weekdays. Today, he was uncharacteristically strong, and the hesitant people who were mixed in the crowd immediately lowered their heads and did not dare to look at Tang Cheng again. "Since everyone has no other opinions, let's go and do things! Chongqing Station will send people over again today to cooperate with us to check the shops and warehouses that have been seized, and tell everyone to keep your hands clean, don't let the people at Chongqing Station see jokes. ”

According to the regulations of the military command, anyone who is judged to be a traitor must have his family property confiscated. This case currently involves so many merchants in the city, even if it is only the confiscation of their shops, this will not be a small amount. Tang Cheng had already negotiated with Zhang Jianghe, the traitor's family property belonged to Chongqing Station, and as long as the search team had these traitors' shops, inns, and hotels in the city, Tang Cheng would use these places to establish more intelligence points in the city.

Zhang Jianghe originally thought that Tang Cheng was crazy about arranging shops in the city, just to find convenience to make money privately, but the search team tracked and locked Xintianyi this time, and accurately implemented the process of arrest, so that Zhang Jianghe finally realized the importance of Tang Cheng's hand arrangement. Compared with the military commanders, Zhang Jianghe hoped that such an intelligence network could be in the hands of Tang Cheng. So far, at least, Zhang Jianghe has not found any obvious political leanings in Tang Cheng, in other words, Tang Cheng has no hostility to the underground party.

Coupled with Zhang Jianghe's understanding of Tang Cheng, Zhang Jianghe felt that Tang Cheng would not pose a threat to the underground party, so he chose to support Tang Cheng to continue to expand the intelligence network in the city. The search team is only nominally under the command of the Chongqing station, but in fact the search team has a clear autonomy in both management and daily operations, and even Zhang Jiang and the head of the Chongqing station do not have much binding force on the direction of the search team's actions.

For almost a whole day, all the idle manpower in the search team was sent by Tang Cheng to cooperate with the people of Chongqing Station to check the shops, warehouses and inns of those traitors in the city. Among them, several smoke houses that were accidentally discovered were directly forcibly closed by Tang Cheng, and some robe brothers in the jurisdiction came to ask for tobacco houses, but they were also sent by Zhao Dashan. "Smoke houses and brothels in the city must be strictly controlled in the future!" Tang Cheng, who put down the teacup, habitually clicked on the desktop with his fingers, and Zhao Dashan and the others, who were sitting opposite him and watching the accountant, secretly looked at each other.

Zhao Dashan and the others looked at each other secretly, thinking that they were secret, but they didn't know that Tang Cheng had already seen it clearly. "The Japanese puppet spies and traitors in this city will be arrested sooner or later, and it is impossible for us to play the trick of raising self-respect in the city, which will only make everyone lose their heads. Going to the battlefield to fight is not our strong point, since there are no Japanese puppet spies in the city, maintaining order and stability in the city is our new mission direction. ”

"As the number of immigrants in the city increases, so do all kinds of things that cannot see the light of day, and the tobacco houses and brothels will gradually become profitable, and then become the target of disputes among the various forces in the city. At present, this kind of signs are not obvious, this is also the best opportunity for us to establish rules in the city, if we can't set rules for these profiteering industries at this time, once the situation changes to the point where we can not maintain order in the city normally, Chongqing City will be completely chaotic! Don't forget, our family is in this city! ”

Tang Cheng's words sounded very arrogant, if you didn't count the dark lines that helped the search team find out the news in private, the actual number of the search team was less than a hundred. With this amount of manpower, he vainly said that he would set rules for the profiteering industry in Chongqing, and whoever heard Tang Cheng's words just now might not be able to help but laugh in the hall. However, Zhao Dashan and others did not think so, because behind the search team was the behemoth of the military commander, and the military commander could meddle in military and police affairs in terms of function.

In other words, as long as the military commander endorses the search team, the search team can directly intervene in Chongqing's policing as a subordinate organ of the military command. In other words, what the Chongqing police can do, the search team can do, and what the Chongqing police can't do, the search team can also do. "The rest of this case will be handed over to Chongqing Station to deal with, you will activate the dark line in your hands and start secretly collecting information on the tobacco houses and brothels in the city, I want to know clearly the division of power of these industries in the city."

Tang Cheng's confidence did not dispel the worries of Zhao Dashan and others, especially Lao Fu, who expressed his worries to Tang Cheng on the spot. "Captain, when Chongqing was in trouble, someone proposed to ban smoking, but in the end, it didn't work, there are too many people involved!" What Lao Fu wanted to say, he didn't actually finish it, but Tang Cheng already understood what Lao Fu meant.

"I know what you're worried about, but I didn't say I was going to ban smoking altogether!" Tang Cheng's words made Zhao Dashan and the others even more confused, and said in their hearts that if you don't want to ban smoking, why do you want us to secretly find out the information of the smoke house in the city! Seeing the confused look on everyone's faces, Tang Cheng grinned, "Well, I didn't tell you what was going on!" I also know that it is impossible to completely ban smoking, after all, there are some things that cannot be done in a day or two! ”

Opium has been circulating in China for a long time, not to mention those rich people, even inside, there are many people who smoke opium, and the most famous one Tang Cheng knows is the young marshal of the Northeast Army. A total ban on smoking will not only touch the interests of local gang forces, but also may anger some ** forces that secretly sell tobacco and soil, including military forces. Tang Cheng didn't feel that he had lived too long, so he didn't want to provoke these forces, and the rules he said were simply aimed at the mountain city of Chongqing.

"I'm going to regulate Chongqing's profiteering industry, and to be honest, it's about setting rules for the city's tobacco houses, casinos, and brothels." It seems that I just remembered that Tang Cheng will be counted as a casino in the city again, which makes Zhao Dashan and the others, who were already secretly worried, even more restless. Casinos are not like smoke houses and brothels that can be opened with a random yard, and those who can open casinos in Chongqing have the support of big people behind them.
