Chapter 41: Late-night operation emergency response

The moon is dark and the stars are scarce. Outside the town of Lin'an. Three-way intersection. The three teams of the special column were arranged horizontally.

Fang Jiren stood in front of the team members and was assigning tasks:

"Comrades and brethren, we're going to break up here." Fang Jiren took out two letters and Dayang from his satchel, and looked at Zhou Qiwei: "Captain Zhou, you lead the second team to drive the carriage south to Taicang Village, go to Uncle Fang according to the address and house number on this letter, and hand over the letter and the twenty oceans to him. You must pay close attention to the movements in Da'an Township, east of Taicang Village, and must not be careless, not only to complete the task, but also to protect your own team. ”

"Yes." Zhou Qiwei took the letter and silver dollars and asked, "Commander Wang, what if you meet my soldiers in the future?" ”

Fang Jiren: "It is very likely that you will meet them, you clearly tell them the current nature and mission of our special column, those who are willing to join will stay, and those who are unwilling will let him go, go to Shuihe Village to find a supplementary regiment, and return to his hometown after recovering from his injuries." In short, don't force it to stay. Fang Jiren turned to Yao Jian and said, "Captain Yao, you do the same." You take this letter and Dayang and lead the three teams to drive the carriage southwest to Shengyong Village to find Uncle Zheng. If you encounter a small group of devils on the road, don't fight until you have to, try to avoid ......"

Fang Lusheng asked anxiously: "Commander Wang, what are we doing as a team?" ”

Fang Jiren: "I, Lu Yun and Captain Fang's team went southeast to Shengcang Village. I'll send someone to inform you of your next move in two days, do you understand? ”

"Understood, promise to complete the task." Zhou Qiwei and Yao Jian replied in unison.

Fang Jiren said solemnly: "Captain Zhou, Captain Yao, you must lead and manage your own team, if you encounter devils, don't fight head-on, surprise attacks, sneak attacks, night battles, and sports battles." In short, if you can take advantage of it, you can fight, if you can't take advantage of it, you can leave, don't entangle, and try your best to ensure that your team does not have casualties. ”

"Yes." Zhou Qiwei and Yao Jian saluted solemnly and replied in unison.

Fang Jiren shook hands with Zhou Qiwei and Yao Jian: "Okay, let's go, see you in two days." ”

The county seat of Lin'an County. Late at night. Dark clouds completely obscured the moon, and the streets and alleys were dimly lit and untouched. Eight or nine heavily armed Japanese soldiers patrolled the main streets day and night. A man in black with a shell gun and dagger in his waist was dressed in black, with a black cloth covering his head and face, and only a pair of psychic eyes were exposed, and his movements were light and agile through the streets and alleys, and he quietly came to the thick west wall of the Fang family's compound. He squatted at the base of the wall to check left and right, after making sure that there was no one around, he adjusted his luck, suddenly exerted his strength, plucked the onion on the dry land and jumped up, grabbed the upper edge of the hospital wall tightly with both hands, pulled up his arms up, raised his right leg sideways, hooked the edge of the wall with his right toe, and climbed the courtyard wall more than two meters high, and saw that there was no movement in the yard, so he jumped off the high courtyard wall, and squatted steadily behind a flower bush with a roll. The man in black observed for a moment, and then the cat's waist quickly pounced towards the middle courtyard. The man in black was very familiar with the various courtyards and every path of the entire Fang family compound, and he came to the middle courtyard under the west window of the main house facing north and south. He squatted under the west window and raised his right hand to knock on the glass window, "Tuk, tuk." Tuk, tuk. After three repeated knocks, there was a soft cough and a slight squirting sound of getting out of bed and walking in the West House. The man in black stood up and tiptoed to the door of the north room. The door opened silently, and the man in black dodged in, and the door shut. Fang Da, who was wearing light blue doppelganger silk pajamas, turned his head and walked towards the east room first, and the man in black took off the black cloth that covered his head and face and followed closely. Fang Daxian sat on the couch with the man in black.

In the darkness, Fang Daxian looked at the man in black and asked in confusion:

"Big head, you came to me in the middle of the night, is there something very urgent?"

The man in black said worriedly, "yes." I have something urgent, so I have to come to you in the middle of the night to disturb my uncle's sleep, I'm sorry. ”

Fang Daxian: "It's okay, it's okay, you're doing the right thing." I know you won't come to me so late without something particularly urgent, and you'll have to be extra careful in the future. Big head, what's the matter? ”

Big head: "Uncle, a few hours ago, Qian Wanlin took the newly arrived Japanese army captain Nakagawa Eiichi Nakazo to forcibly occupy the front yard, middle courtyard and east courtyard of the Ding family's compound as his headquarters and dormitory. Qian Wanlin recommended our Fang family compound to Nakagawa Rongyi again, saying that he would come over tomorrow morning, and he might also occupy the front yard, middle courtyard and east courtyard of our house. Uncle, what do you say you should do? ”

"Big head, doesn't the imperial army have a headquarters? Why do you want to occupy the three courtyards of the Ding family? Why do you want to occupy our Fang family's yard again? ”

"Uncle, Nakagawa Eiichi dislikes the old and old house in the current headquarters of the Imperial Army, and feels that it is inconvenient and undignified to work and stay. He asked Qian Wanlin to help him find a good house in the county, and Qian Wanlin recommended the Ding family and our Fang family to Zhongchuan Rongyi, and he also said that the Ding family and the Fang family still have a lot of good houses in the county. ”

"Humph! This Sanmengzi Qian Wanlin, who eats and drinks money, is really getting more and more unkind and worse. ”

"That's right. Uncle, since Qian Wanlin became the captain of the detective team, he has been rampant, eating, drinking, prostituting and gambling, bullying men and women, stealing, smuggling and selling cigarettes, and daring to do anything, he is even worse than before. Hum! The bad things he did couldn't be said for days and nights. No, did he start thinking about calculating our Fang family again? Uncle, can you think of a way to clean up this grandson? ”

"Isn't it easy to clean up Qian Wanlin's dog thing? Alas! It's just, it's just that it's inconvenient for the Fang family in the city to come forward now. ”

"Not really. Uncle, I understand this. But what can I do? Uncle, are we just watching Qian Wanlin run rampant all the time? ”

"No, it won't. Wait for Xiao Liuzi to come back and let him clean up Qian Wanlin. ”

"Huh? Is the sixth uncle coming back? Uncle, when will he come back? ”

"I can't say when he'll come back, I just think it's time for him to come back."

"That's great. When the sixth uncle comes back, I will have a big fight with him. ”

"No! Regardless of whether Xiao Liuzi comes back or not, big head, you must do your current errand. Fang Daxian said majestically.

"Why? Uncle, I don't want to do this errand anymore. You don't know, it's too aggrieved all day, and you have to be scared. ”

"Big head, you don't even know your uncle. I've really wronged you by doing this errand. But, do you know, doing this errand has its benefits, in the future, the two of you will help your sixth uncle a lot, isn't this equivalent to you doing a big job together? ”

"Oh, yes, yes. Uncle, I understand everything you say, I listen to you. ”

"Big head, you remember your uncle's words, and now you have to disguise yourself and hide yourself, and you must not expose your bottom in front of anyone."

"I remembered. Uncle, don't worry. By the way, there is one more thing, recently, Nakahiro Masayoshi from the Imperial Army Headquarters has asked me a few times for tea, chatting, and eating, and I don't know what he is going to do? Uncle, what do you think I should do with him? ”

"That's a good thing. Big head, what kind of official title is this Zhonghong Justice? What did he do in the Imperial Army Headquarters? ”

"Zhonghong Zhengyi is an operational staff officer, with the rank of captain."

"Okay. Big head, he will look for you again in the future, don't refuse, you will associate with him, but you can't rush to find him, first find out his details and road number, let's see the trick, maybe through him we can make a fortune unexpectedly, make a fortune. Got it? ”

"Uncle, I understand, I will do what you say in the future."

Fang Da first took out a gold bar from his pocket and put it in the big head's hand: "You take this, if it's not enough, come to me again." Hurry up and go. Don't let anyone see you've come to me. ”

"No, no. Uncle, I can't take this, I haven't used up what you gave me before, and there are still a lot of them. ”

"If you take it, you will take it, the poor family will be rich, and you will need it sooner or later. Big head, take care of your mother with all your heart. ”

"Hey. Thank you, uncle. You and your aunt and uncle take care. I'm leaving. ”

After the big head left, Fang Da took off his pajamas and changed into his coat, walked out of the north room, hurried to the door of the ear room next to the west of the north room in three steps and two steps, and raised his hand to knock on the door hurriedly: "Delu!" Get up! Come out! ”

The light in the transept came on. The middle-aged housekeeper Delu was wearing blue cloth shorts, shirtless, pulling cloth shoes and stumbling to the door in a daze, opening the door, rubbing his sleepy eyes, yawning and asking indistinctly:

"Old, sir, is there anything important for you to knock on the door in such a hurry in the middle of the night to find me? Come in and sit down. ”

"yes. It's a very important matter. I didn't go in. O Delu, quickly put on your clothes, go and call all the men of the courtyard, and then take the antiques, porcelain, authentic calligraphy and paintings, rare books, precious carpets, and tapestries in all the rooms in the front yard, the east courtyard, and the middle courtyard. Let's put it this way, send me all the valuable things of our Fang family to the basement of the North Courtyard and put them away. Then, they are all replaced with worthless fake antiques, imitation of old porcelain, and fake calligraphy and paintings. Delu, are you awake? Do you understand? Have you memorized them all? ”

"Huh? Yes. Hearing what Fang Daxian said, Delu was completely sleepy, and he also felt the seriousness of the matter. But he found it incredible and puzzled:

"Master, why are you tossing so much in the middle of the night?"

"Delu, I've got the letter. Maybe tomorrow morning, the devil will come to Fang's house and forcibly occupy the front yard, the east courtyard and the middle courtyard. So, we have to do some preparations. ”

"Oh. It's possible, it's too likely. You have to do some preparation. Master, I heard that a few days ago, the devil forcibly occupied the front yard, the east courtyard and the middle courtyard of the Ding family, I thought that the devil would not come to forcibly occupy our Fang family's yard again, so I didn't report it to the master. Now it seems that we will not be able to avoid this catastrophe. ”

"Okay, okay, don't say these words yet. Delu, do as I say. You must tell the guys to be careful when moving things, to handle them gently, and not to have the slightest bump. Remember? ”

"Hey. I remember them all. Master, all the Huanghuali furniture in the three yards must be put away, right? ”

"Alas! It's too late to put away the furniture, so why don't you have so much time? Forget it, I can't care so much, so let's do what I say first. ”

"Hey, just listen to the master. You don't care, I'll do what you say, go back to bed quickly" After saying that, he turned around and prepared to go into the house and get dressed.

"Wait. Delu, I have one more important thing to say. ”

"Oh, what's the most important thing? Sir, tell me quickly. Delu asked, turning back to him.

"Delu, after collecting antiques, porcelain, calligraphy and paintings, and ancient books, you have to quietly and secretly go to carefully inspect and hide the three courtyards and the tunnel entrance in the house, and you must not let the devil find out, that is the passage for everyone in our Fang family to escape for their lives." If necessary, it can be sealed inside the tunnel entrance. ”

"Yes, yes, yes. It's a matter of the utmost importance. I'll do a good job, sir. ”

"Alright, alright. Don't talk about it, Delu, you can do it quickly. ”
