Chapter Seventy-Eight: Shirk
Shooting and killing 17 people in one breath in the smoke hall of the gang, Tang Cheng finally let out a bad breath, and the anger that was originally stagnant in his heart finally dissipated a lot. After letting out a bad breath, Tang Cheng only felt refreshed after venting, but he didn't know that after he left, the rest of the gang was furious, and other forces in the concession also noticed this matter.
"You're in trouble with the gang?" Tang Cheng, who returned to his residence, did not intend to hide the matter from Zhang Jianghe, but Zhang Jianghe, who learned about it, was a little ugly. "Xiao Wu, I am an old friend of your father, and I am also your elder. While I know you're going to trouble the gang to avenge me, I don't want you to become a killing machine. "Every move after coming to Shanghai, except for the private meeting with Xu Huanshan, Tang Cheng told Zhang Jianghe that counting the people Tang Cheng killed in Shanghai, there were almost more than fifty people.
Although he knew that Tang Cheng had good intentions, Zhang Jianghe's heart was not very comfortable, after all, it was the blood of his old friend, Zhang Jianghe didn't want to see Tang Cheng go astray, and he didn't want Tang Cheng to become a killing machine. Tang Cheng didn't get angry with Zhang Jianghe because of the word killing machine, because he knew that if Zhang Jianghe didn't care about himself, he would never have said those words just now.
"Uncle, you can rest assured, you also know my mother's temperament, you think that with her by my side watching me, what else can I do out of the ordinary! Helping those people run the big tobacco house is a business that can ruin people, and I didn't kill them all, but I just gave them a warning!" Tang Cheng replied lightly, but Zhang Jianghe knew that things were definitely not as simple as Tang Cheng said.
Sure enough, in the newspaper the next day, there was news of the gang, and from the newspaper, he learned that Tang Cheng had killed more than a dozen people in the smoke house of the gang, and Zhang Jianghe could only sigh secretly in his heart at this moment. Tang Cheng rushed to meet Bai Zhanshan early in the morning, and he didn't have the habit of reading the newspaper in the morning, so he didn't know that yesterday's incident had been in the newspaper. "Uncle Bai, I need news, if you don't even know where that Yuan Cheng is, I may not be able to help you this time."
Still in the private room of the teahouse where they last met, Tang Cheng and Bai Zhanshan sat opposite each other, with a pot of hot tea and a few dried fruits on the table. was a little different from what Tang Cheng expected, he originally thought that Bai Zhanshan should be panicked all day long because of Yuan Cheng's matter. But when he saw Bai Zhanshan again at this moment, Tang Cheng found that instead of seeing the slightest panic on Bai Zhanshan's face, his complexion looked better than last time.
Tang Cheng couldn't guess what the inside story was, and he didn't bother to guess, so he went straight to the point and saw if Bai Zhanshan could. Tang Cheng's words made Bai Zhanshan raise his eyebrows slightly, and then glanced at Tang Cheng before he spoke. "Yuan Cheng's matter, I already have someone to deal with here, I still have a troublesome matter here, if you have time, it is better to help me solve this matter first."
"What does the government's drug procurement have to do with the Intelligence Service? Why would Nanjing want you to pay attention to this? After reading the folder handed by Bai Zhanshan, although Tang Cheng looked calm on his face, he actually had a pot in his heart. Tang Cheng's heart was not at peace because of the folder that Bai Zhanshan gave him, and the contents of the folder were almost the same as what Hans had said before, and it was also about the batch of black market medicines.
Tang Cheng didn't know how Bai Zhanshan would pay attention to this matter, but he guessed that this matter was definitely not requested by Nanjing, maybe Bai Zhanshan wanted to use the identity of the intelligence department to meddle in this batch of black market drugs. "Who knows what it means, but I heard that Nanjing is also doing this, and the circulation of drugs in the Nanjing market must be regulated by the government." Bai Zhanshan's answer was once again beyond Tang Cheng's guess, could it be that this matter was really an order issued by Nanjing?
Tang Cheng had doubts in his heart, but he didn't show it in his expression, but he began to secretly pay attention to Bai Zhanshan's expression and reaction. "Xiao Wu, we are our own people, you have been in Shanghai for a long time, the last time you assassinated Kenichi Yamamoto, I know you have another way to find out the news. So, you must help me with this!" Hearing Bai Zhanshan's words, Tang Cheng, who was slightly brow-raised, suddenly realized in his heart that he dared to love Bai Zhanshan This is here to test himself.
Tang Cheng didn't tell anyone about his friendship with Hans, including Zhang Jianghe, because Hans, who worked for the German intelligence department, was an American on the surface, and this was a back road that Tang Cheng left for himself and his family. Bai Zhanshan's words made Tang Cheng smile secretly in his heart, and he said that he didn't even tell Zhang Jianghe, which green onion are you!" Uncle Bai, if you say that, you can be regarded as wronging me. There are not many other people in Shanghai, that is, there are many intelligence dealers, as long as you can afford to pay for it, there are people who are rushing to help you find out the news. If you need it, I'll give you a few addresses, and you'll see for yourself. ”
Tang Cheng, who had been prepared for a long time, resolutely refused to admit that he had other intelligence channels, and as for the addresses he gave Bai Zhanshan, they were all places where talented people from all walks of life gathered in the French Concession, nothing more than bars and cafes and the like. Tang Cheng's denial didn't seem to surprise Bai Zhanshan, so he didn't get angry, but just emphasized the importance of this matter, which made Tang Cheng secretly scold Bai Zhanshan for being an old fox in his heart.
"Uncle Bai, if you can help, I will definitely not refuse, but this matter is just a rumor, whether you have to talk about it. Let's take a step back and say, even if we find out that there is this batch of medicines, but there are also British people involved, do you dare to reach out? The British don't say anything else, arrogance and nonsense are not bad, I am afraid that when the time comes, in order to calm things down, Nanjing will have to push a scapegoat out to dissipate the anger of the British!"
When Tang Cheng said this, he was a little sinister, and when Bai Zhanshan heard this, he handed the two gold bars to Tang Cheng. "I know that you are a master who does not see rabbits and eagles, since you said that the information can be bought, these two strips are given to you, you should find out the news as soon as possible! I don't know if the British will be annoyed, but I know that as long as an order comes from Nanjing, even if it involves the king of heaven, we should still take action!"
Bai Zhanshan's attitude was so resolute that Tang Cheng secretly felt to himself, and it seemed that he couldn't get rid of the relationship. His fingers flicked slightly on the two gold bars twice, and as soon as Tang Cheng stretched out his hand, he pushed the two gold bars back to Bai Zhanshan. "Uncle Bai, don't worry, you listen to me." Seeing that Bai Zhanshan's face suddenly changed, Tang Cheng grinned and laughed.
"Uncle Bai, why I came to Shanghai, you should know. My Uncle Zhang's injuries have almost recovered, and when I meet you today, the main thing is to ask about the news of Yuan Cheng. I originally planned to help you kill that Yuan Cheng and then accompany Uncle Zhang back to Nanjing, but I didn't expect you to make such an illusory thing again. Let me be honest with you, I don't have that much time to stay in Shanghai, and the current situation in Shanghai is too tense and chaotic for me to bear. ”
Tang Cheng's words were true or false, and Bai Zhanshan couldn't figure out the truth of Tang Cheng's words for a while. "In the past few days, there have been constant gunshots in the concession, and there are gang members everywhere who help the special high school to do things, and I have to be careful when I go out now, for fear of showing my feet and being targeted by those gang members. The matter of medicine is still just a rumor, and there is no actual information or news at all, how do you want me to start? ”
"Besides, you know me well, my ability is just to find people, and it is only limited to places like Nanjing where I have lived for more than ten years. This is Shanghai, where the situation is complicated, do you think it is appropriate for you to ask me to do the urgent task of your intelligence department? Tang Cheng's previous words did not make Bai Zhanshan's expression change, but his last bitter words made Bai Zhanshan's brows frown slightly.
Tang Cheng, who had been paying attention to the other party's expression, was overjoyed when he saw this, and then continued, "Uncle Bai, no matter who it is, no matter what kind of goods it is, as long as it enters and exits Shanghai, it can't escape the eyes and ears of the Qing Gang. I heard that the Green Gang and the Intelligence Department also have some connections, so why don't you ask the Green Gang for help, I guess it will be possible. "Tang Cheng's suggestion is not untargeted, the Green Gang wants to find someone or find out a certain news in Shanghai, and even intelligence departments such as the Intelligence Department and the Special High School are not comparable.
"Are you really going to leave Shanghai?" Seeing that Tang Cheng had already expressed his attitude, Bai Zhanshan did not continue to entangle, but immediately changed the topic. Seeing Zhang Jianghe that night, Bai Zhanshan also saw that Zhang Jianghe's injuries were recovering well, and like Zhang Jianghe's situation, if he stayed in Shanghai for a long time, there might be other changes at the Nanjing headquarters, so Bai Zhanshan didn't really doubt the truth of Tang Cheng's words just now.
"Maybe it's just the next few days!" Tang Cheng's answer did not surprise Bai Zhanshan's guess. "You also know that Uncle Zhang is missing an arm, even if he returns to Nanjing, your intelligence department will not continue to ask Uncle Zhang to serve as the captain of the operation. If you hurry up and go back and think of a dredge or two, maybe Uncle Zhang can change to a more idle position. Before I came to Shanghai, I told the director about it privately, and the director promised to help, but I was worried that I would have a lot of dreams at night. ”
There were some things that Tang Cheng did not intend to hide from Bai Zhanshan, especially the transfer of Zhang Jiang and Chongqing to Chongqing, and before Tang Cheng came to Shanghai, he negotiated with the director of Nanjing on the condition of carrying out retaliatory actions. Bai Zhanshan is considered the confidant of the director, and even if Tang Cheng doesn't say it now, Bai Zhanshan will know about it in the end.
