Chapter Eighty-Eight: Gearing Up

As the couple were talking, they could hear Mrs. Du's voice downstairs: "The old spirit of the lattice house, look at it, the windows and doors are wide, the light and ventilation are not wrong, the floor is teak, and the house is complete." ”

Yulin and his wife hurriedly got up and walked to the window and looked into the patio, it turned out that Mrs. Du had brought the tenant to see the house.

The man who came to rent the room was a young woman of twenty-five or sixteen years old, wearing heavy makeup, twisting her waist, wearing a rose-red embroidered cheongsam, and holding a man in a top hat next to her, who was about forty years old, with a pipe in his mouth, short and stocky, stout, and a scar on his left cheek, which was particularly striking and dazzling.

The two of them followed Mrs. Du into the room to look around, and then walked out into the patio.

"Tingting, how do you think it can? Can you cut down? The middle-aged man looked up and asked the bewitching woman beside him.

The woman who was called Tingting replied angrily: "The third master thinks it's good." I listen to the third master, uh. ”

"Well, the mouth is sweet, well, let's rent it, okay. The landlady, a trumpet thirty oceans, is it? The third master twisted Tingting's cheeks with a smile.

"yes, how much morning light does Mr. He plan to live in? Do you pay it off all together today, or do you live with one trumpet and pay one trumpet? ”

"Pay the rent of three trumpets first, plus a deposit for one trumpet, a total of one hundred and twenty oceans, right?"

"Yes, yes, yes, Mr. Ho is an old man in arithmetic."

Mr. He opened the bag in his hand, took out two and a half rolls of ocean from it, and handed them to Mrs. Du: "Mrs. Landlady, count them, right?" ”

Mrs. Du took the ocean, counted it, and smiled so much that her eyebrows were crooked: "It's not bad at all, Mr. He, Nong wait, I'll write a receipt to Nong now." ”

Mrs. Du brushed and wrote the receipt on the table of the Eight Immortals and handed it to Mr. He: "Mr. He, why did you move here?" ”

"Tingting, or I will call a few brothers in the Ming Dynasty to help Nong move over, so that he can cut down?"

"Okay, uh, I'm sorry for the third master." Tingting is still full of energy.

"Okay, Tingting, I'll help Nong handle the matter of the pile, okay, tonight, Tou Nong will accompany me to Dafugui to meet Hashimoto Section Chief, okay?"

Tingting looked embarrassed and twisted her body: "Third master, Hashimoto, this Japanese old poke is angry, and he did something to me on the last trip." ”

"People are happy with Nong, don't you have to carry it, don't talk about Nong, isn't Nong being touched by men all the time in the dance hall, uh, what is pretending to be serious?"

Tingting saw that He Sanye was angry, and hurriedly apologized: "People didn't say no, the third master helped me find a good house, I haven't repaid the third master, and I'm not ignorant." ”

"Well, this gossip is appropriate, well, I'll come to Paramount at six o'clock in the evening to pick up Nong. Let's go. ”

He Sanye raised his arm, and Tingting immediately took He Sanye's arm and walked out of No. 18 Jixiangli.

Everything that happened downstairs was really seen by Yulin and Shuxian upstairs.

"It seems that this He Sanye is not an ordinary person, he is actually close to Hashimoto, the head of the special high section of the Japanese gendarmerie in Shanghai, so we need to take precautions."

"Yes, Yulin, how do I think we are in a wolf's den, surrounded by danger." Shuxian frowned, feeling a little uneasy in her heart.

Yulin saw Shuxian's worried look on her face, and hurriedly came over to comfort her.

"Danger and opportunity go hand in hand, and although danger lurks here, it is also the easiest place to get all kinds of information. I'll report back to Lao Chen when I see him tomorrow. ”

At ten o'clock in the morning of the next day, this is the time to connect with Chen Xuguang, if there is no special situation, Lao Chen usually meets on the 5th, 15th and 25th of each month to exchange their respective conditions and the current situation, and in case of emergency, they can meet at any time.

When Yulin's feet just stepped into the door of Yipinzhai, he saw the tiger boy holding a plate and shuttling between the tables, and saw a guest coming in at the door, so he hurriedly came to greet him.

"Guest officer, please inside." Tiger Boy ran to the door to greet the guests.

When the tiger boy looked up and saw that it was Yulin, his eyes lit up. Yu Lin hurriedly signaled him with his eyes to restrain his excitement and treat himself as a stranger.

The tiger boy has grown into a sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy, and he has grown a lot taller, and now, he is a running hall in Yipinzhai.

"Did the guest officer make a reservation?" Tiger Boy asked earnestly.

"I booked the Juxian Hall yesterday." Yu Lin pointed to the Juxian Hall upstairs.

"Then guest officer, please upstairs."

Yu Lin nodded and walked upstairs.

Chen Xuguang saw Lu Yulin coming, and hurriedly followed upstairs.

After entering the Juxian Hall, Chen Xuguang locked the door of the box, and then opened the secret room, and the two entered the secret room to talk in detail.

"Yulin, how is it, it's almost settled." Lao Chen asked with concern.

"Almost, I've also been admitted to the "Declaration", and I can go to work next week. Yurong's pharmacy has also opened, and the photo studio is almost finished, and it will be open to the public in two weeks. Lao Chen, did your superiors assign me any tasks? ”

"You are really an impatient, yes, your Lu Jiajun is really efficient, and he has only been in Shanghai for a few days, and he has been very effective. You came just in time today, I just received instructions from my superiors yesterday, and there are two tasks that you need to complete. ”

As soon as Lu Yulin heard that there was a task, he immediately came to his senses: "Lao Chen, what task?" ”

"There are two main tasks, first, the superiors want us to expand the influence of the organization, unite and win over some progressive young people to join our peripheral organizations, our organization has suffered a heavy blow, there is a shortage of manpower, so we need to inject new strength into the organization. At the same time, it is necessary to propagate Marxist-Leninist ideology among young people so that the seeds of Marxism-Leninism can take root and sprout among young people. “

"What does that organization mean ......"

"Shuxian was a student of Aurora University, and her father, Mr. Xu Hengliang, is a professor at Aurora University, and has been teaching in Aurora for many years.

"This environment is familiar, and I think she will be able to do the job. However, if Shuxian goes to work at Aurora and I am busy with newspaper work, there will be no one to take care of this photo studio. ”

"I'll send you a helper, usually in your photo studio to do chores, answer the phone, arrange appointments, receive guests, if possible, you can also let him learn to take pictures, so that you can be separated."

"Who?"

"Tiger Boy. I think this little guy is good, he is quite clever, he can see six ways and listen to all directions. I did a few days of running the hall here, and many customers praised him for his quick hands and feet, and his quick movements. ”

"Okay, this kid is familiar with me, it's just right for me to put it here. I'm almost done, so let's let Tiger Boy come over. ”

"The fat aunt is also very good, the dishes are cooked well, the kitchen is clean, and my turnover has skyrocketed in the past few days. Many of the guests came for the fat aunt. Yulin, your Lu Mansion is really full of talents. ”

Yu Lin cracked his mouth and smiled: "Teacher, you praise me so much that I can't find the north." So what is the second task? ”

"This second task can be a bit tricky. That's right, there is a bank president named Tian Jiaqi, he is our own comrade, because the organization was looted, he and many comrades were arrested and imprisoned, but the enemy has no evidence to prove that Tian Jiaqi is our internal comrade, plus the family is willing to pay a ransom to bail him out of prison, so Tian Jiaqi was released home, but he is currently under house arrest at home, but now the problem is that among these arrested people, there is a person who knows the details of Tian Jiaqi, if this person can't withstand the enemy's coercion and temptation, Then Comrade Tian Jiaqi is very likely to be imprisoned again, and he may not be able to get out after entering this time. Comrade Tian Jiaqi is a rare talent in the financial field of our party, and he has helped the organization raise a lot of funds. Therefore, the organization decided to send Comrade Tian Jiaqi and his wife to our base area in northern Jiangsu as soon as possible. ”

"And where does he live now?"

"In the Tian Mansion at No. 5 Maggie Road. When I passed by yesterday, I noticed that the mansion was surrounded by plain clothes. It's hard to get started. ”

"In this way, it will not work to snatch it directly from the Tian Mansion. So about this President Tian, what specific information do you currently have, the more detailed the better. ”

"As far as I know, his wife Zhou Lanfen is a native of Shantou, Guangdong, and you are considered a fellow villager, his two daughters and son-in-law are currently in the United States, and there are no other children around, so there is an old couple and a nanny at home. This comrade is not bad in other aspects, but his health is poor, his physique is too weak, he often has colds and coughs, and he also has severe asthma, which will cause asthma several times every year when he is exchanged in autumn and winter, and it is said that every time he eats seafood, he will also cause asthma, so he does not leave the medicine. At the beginning, we were worried that he would not be able to withstand the enemy's torture after falling into the hands of the enemy, but fortunately, he was released on bail before the enemy could torture him to extract a confession. ”

"Oh? Is it? This can be exploited. Do we have our own comrades in the hospital? Yulin already has a rough plan in mind, but the key is to have an internal response in the hospital.

Chen Xuguang sighed and shook his head: "There used to be, but I was arrested and imprisoned." Now there are no comrades of our own in the hospital, but there is an American doctor named Mark in a church hospital called St. Mary's, and he is quite sympathetic to us, and one of our comrades was injured in the line of duty, and was pursued by the Japanese Special High School, and fled to St. Mary's Hospital, and it was Mark who helped him escape the search of the Special High School. ”

"Well, this Dr. Mark can help."

"I have a few connections with this Mark, he is a Christian, he hates war, and during the Battle of Songhu on August 13, he treated many civilians and our soldiers. I'll get in touch with him if I need to. ”

"Okay, teacher. I have an idea, do you think it will work? ”

"Yulin, tell me about it." Lao Chen didn't expect Yulin to have a plan so soon, and his eyes were full of surprises.

Yu Lin laid out his ideas and plates, and Chen Xuguang nodded frequently.

"I think I can give it a try, and I will actively cooperate with you."
