December 29, 1938, Shanghai Tang

Deng Zhenting slowly walked out of the train station, this time in order to hide people's eyes, he changed the means of transportation several times on the way, and finally chose to walk to Shanghai Tang.

As soon as I walked to the corner of the street, I saw a little girl wearing a torn cotton jacket, singing newspaper songs with a crisp voice, holding a stack of newspapers in her hand, jumping up and down the street, and the small cotton shoes she wore left a row of cute little footprints on the snow.

"Lalala, lalala, I'm a little expert in selling newspapers."

Looking at the little girl's frozen red face and ears, Deng Zhenting waved his hand, and the little girl immediately stopped beside Deng Zhenting.

"Sir, do you want to buy a newspaper?" A crisp voice came.

Looking at the timid look on the little girl's face, Deng Zhenting rubbed her head with a smile and said, "Well, is there a "Damei Evening News"? Get me a copy. ”

"Sir, you can't buy it here in the Great Beauty Evening News, you have to go to the concession to buy it." The little girl lowered her head in disappointment and said.

Listening to the little girl's disappointed words, Deng Zhenting couldn't bear to ask, "Then what kind of newspaper are you selling?" ”

The little girl raised her head when she heard this, and said with anticipation flashing in her clear eyes: "Sir, I am selling a new declaration!" ”

The original "Declaration" was forced to move out of Shanghai because it resisted the strict Japanese censorship system after the fall of Shanghai, and the Japanese-owned newspaper "Shanghai United News" changed its name to "New Declaration".

Each issue of the "New Declaration" is sent to the Japanese side for inspection, so it basically has no useful value, and most of the newspapers are touting the Japanese puppet government and promoting the co-prosperity of Greater East Asia.

And because of this, the people of Shanghai Tang have the dignity to unite and refuse to buy the newspaper! Therefore, the price of "New Declaration" is quite cheap, and even in the later stage, it is delivered for free.

Despite this, Deng Zhenting looked at the little girl and said, "Get me a copy." ”

"Okay! A copper plate! The little girl stood on tiptoe and handed Deng Zhenting the newspaper and said.

Deng Zhenting bent down to take the newspaper from the little girl's hand, looked at the little girl's little hand that was red from the cold, he took out a Yuan Datou from his arms and put it in the little girl's hand.

The little girl may not have seen such a big amount of money yet, she lowered her head curiously and took Yuan Datou to look left and right, and then said reluctantly: "Sir, the newspaper only needs a copper plate, I don't have the money to find you." ”

After a while, she found that no one answered, so she hurriedly raised her head to look left and right, but found that there was no figure of Deng Zhenting for a long time, only faint footprints left on the snow......

found a hotel to live in, and in the room, Deng Zhenting poured a cup of hot water from a thermos, holding the cup in both hands and feeling the rare warmth.

After taking a sip of hot water and warming up his body, Deng Zhenting sat on the chair, crossed his legs and shook open the newspaper and read it.

After a while, Deng Zhenting put down the newspaper and rubbed his pantothenic eyes, there was not a single useful information in the newspaper, the whole article was for Wang Zhaoming, boasting about Wang Zhaoming's wisdom everywhere, saying that the Chongqing government was stupid and incompetent, and praising Wang Zhaoming's abandonment of darkness and turning to light.

According to what the newspaper said, as if Chongqing was about to break down in the factional struggle in the next second, the only place where Wang Zhaoming was not written was to praise the common prosperity of Greater East Asia.

Sighing helplessly, Deng Zhenting lit a cigarette and thought carefully about how to contact Tang Yi, first of all, this mission is top secret, and it must not be contacted through the "stinger".

Secondly, with the identity of Tang Yi now, Deng Zhenting asked himself if he could not meet Tang Yi directly, and thought about the safest way to go, which was the dead mailbox and mark left by the "blind fish" before, but it was not clear whether Tang Yi would pay attention to the dead mailbox after the "blind fish" withdrew.

......

In the reconnaissance office, Tang Yi looked at his watch, slowly stood up and stretched his waist, there was no arrangement today, so when it came to the point, Tang Yi thought about slipping away.

It is worth mentioning that Tang Yi's dog leg has changed again, although it is said that the investigation department is still in the south of the city and has not been transferred, nor has it expanded its staff, but the new personnel arrangement is already known to everyone in the investigation department.

Fang Hu has not yet been formally established, the deputy director of the new intelligence department, and the captain of the new task force has been replaced by Luo Zhuangshi, who is favored by Tang Yi and has great potential for doglegs.

But I have to praise Luo Zhuangshi, his dogleg skills are definitely able to stand side by side with Xiang Jie, every morning, no matter whether Tang Yi and Gu Junqiao have used it early or not, Luo Zhuangshi will definitely deliver one on time at eight o'clock.

What's even more commendable is that since Luo Zhuangshi took office, Tang Yi has never lacked tea, and Tang Yi was still curious about how Luo Zhuangshi's salary could afford so much good tea.

However, after occasionally meeting someone who gave Luo Zhuangshi a gift and stuffed red envelopes, Tang Yi also had an answer in his heart, after all, the captain of the intelligence bureau action team is a potential unit position.

From Xiang Jie to Fang Hu, both of them are now about to be department-level leaders, and anyone with a discerning eye can see that as long as they have been the captain of the operations of the intelligence department, there is no one who will not be promoted! So, invest early.

However, what satisfied Tang Yi was that whether this Luo Zhuangshi received gifts or money, the first thing that came to mind was not to carry his own pocket, but to buy various supplies for Tang Yi.

Luo Zhuangshi is also a smart person, he knows that as Tang Yi and Tang Sangongzi, he doesn't care about the gifts or money given to him by others.

So Luo Zhuangshi changed his way to buy tea, anyway, now in the tea cabinet in Tang Yi's office and lounge, as long as it is the number one tea variety that can be called, there are some in the cabinet.

Just thinking about it, there was a knock at the door, and before Tang Yi could ask, the voice had already come.

"Director, it's me, Strong." Luo Zhuangshi's voice came.

"Come in." Tang Yi said.

As soon as he entered the door, he saw Luo Zhuangshi take a few steps forward and said respectfully to Tang Yi: "Director, I have already warmed up the car." ”

Tang Yi nodded with satisfaction and said, "Director Gu is there......"

Before he finished speaking, he was picked up by Luo Zhuangshi, "Director Gu, I have already reported it, and Gu said that I will go downstairs in ten minutes." ”

Tang Yi smiled when he heard this: "Good job, come and reward you for smoking cigars, South American goods." ”

Saying that, Tang Yi took out the cigar box from the drawer and handed it to Luo Zhuangshi, the cigar was naturally not the box in the last Chai Jinchun rebellion, this was taken by Tang Yi from his Lao Tzu's study again.

Luo Zhuangshi respectfully took the humidor, carefully took out one, put it in front of his nose and sniffed it, and put it in his chest pocket.

"What's so reluctant to smoke this, you take this half of the box, and follow me to learn the atmosphere in the future, understand? Your mind is careful enough, but you lack some atmosphere and seem to be uncourageous. Tang Yi looked at Luo Zhuangshi and pointed.

To tell the truth, Tang Yi really saw that this Luo Zhuang was solid, thoughtful, and worthy of cultivation, so he took the initiative to give advice, Xiang Jie and Fang Hu didn't have this treatment, but Xiang Jie is good because of his high understanding, Fang Hu is good at doing things solidly, and these three dogs really have their own characteristics.

Luo Zhuangshi listened to Tang Yi's words and nodded yes again and again, and respectfully took the cigar box in his hand.

"Alright, go home from work." Tang Yi twisted his neck and said.
