Chapter 10: Brothers
Chapter 10 Brothers
Liu Zezhi returned to an empty room in the Li Mansion where he temporarily lived, and an afternoon passed, with a splitting headache, and he didn't know how he was able to do nothing in front of people. Le Yi, his best friend, died at his own hands...... What a sorrow it is. "I've become a terrible ghost, and I'm going to ask for my life!" , Le Yi, do you know that I don't need your recourse, my life is really willing to return it to you! Please give me a little time, and when I finish what I can do, I will definitely go down to accompany you, and let you cut it with a thousand cuts......
When he received a secret telegram from Chongqing, he learned that an assassin operation was about to take place, and ordered him to act at the right time, and if the assassination failed, he took this opportunity to win the trust of Li Shiqun from the Assassins. But he never thought that this assassin would be Leyi! It's not surprising to think about it now. Li Shiqun defected, as his secretary and fellow countryman, and one of the most proud protΓ©gΓ©s, it is impossible for Le Yi not to be implicated. Le Yi knows best, on the surface he is modest and courteous, but in fact he is sensitive and proud in his heart, and he is jealous and hateful. How could you suffer such an injustice? How can you not grit your teeth and hate Li Shiqun and yourself? can only prove his innocence in such a resolute way that is almost to death! Leyi, you know what? Maybe I, Liu Zezhi, don't have the blessing that you can prove your innocence, and one day, I will die in the name of a traitor and a thief.
Mao Renfeng, you are killing three birds with one move, not only have you done enough to hunt down traitors, but let Le Yi, who is close to Li Shiqun, assassinate Li Shiqun, wouldn't it be clear that you, a traitor, have betrayed your relatives and left your relatives! gave himself another chance to win Li Shiqun's trust. But why, why don't you sue me, an assassin, it's actually Leyi! At this point, Liu Zezhi shuddered, and at this moment, he suddenly thought: Even if Mao Renfeng told him that he was Leyi, what could he do...... There can still be only one ending! That's fate, right? It's just that...... There is no way out, not to mention, the hatred of the country and the family, and he will not be allowed to retreat! And Li Shiqun ordered him to participate in the pursuit of the assassin, the intention is self-evident, what should he do to make Li Shiqun let down his guard? If you can't get a foothold on No. 76, Le Yi won't die in vain?
Knocking on the door lightly, Liu Zezhi hurriedly beat his spirits, and now he is too extravagant to cry loudly. Seeing Liu Zezhi's bloodless face, Li Shiqun sighed: "What's wrong? The face is very ugly. β
"I ...... It's okay, I'm just ...... Director Li, if you ...... If not, I can move out and won't trouble you......"
"Oh, let's not talk about it yet. Leyi's thing makes you feel very uncomfortable, right? Maybe you don't believe it, but I'm sad too. Li Shiqun took out a few bills: "You took this money to bury Le Yi, and said to the people in the operation department that I agreed." β
"Director Li ......"
"Zezhi, things have come to this point, it's all fate, you can be forgiving. Do you still want to follow me? β
"Yes, and ...... I don't have anywhere else to ......."
Li Shiqun smiled: "This is very true, it is the truth, then follow me." There is one less captain in the administrative section of the General Affairs Office, and there is no risk in this position, but there are many miscellaneous things in the grass creation stage, so you can do it if you are busy. β
This position is very oily and watery, but it can't touch the core secrets, Liu Zezhi made a look of great joy: "Really? Thank you, Director Li, my subordinates will definitely go to the soup and follow the work of dogs and horses. You can rest assured that your subordinates know what to do. β
"What do I understand? If you don't tell me about the crooked reasoning of being an official for thousands of miles just for money, if something happens, I will be the first to let you go! These words are just high-sounding words, Liu Zezhi smiled silently. Li Shiqun straightened his face and said: "Zezhi, you will be my person in the future, I will naturally protect you, and there are only two words I want to explain: loyalty." Otherwise, don't blame me for being ruthless! Okay, you can rest, you can live here if you want, and when the dormitory is repaired, you can move out if you want. β
Li Shiqun walked to the door and stopped: "There is one more thing, you have been by Mao Renfeng's side for more than a year, and you always know something, write it out, I will refer to it." β
This is the key, Liu Zezhi nodded without hesitation and agreed: "Director, don't worry, I will start writing immediately." Since he follows the director, his subordinates will be loyal to their lives. β
In one night, Liu Zezhi wrote more than 10,000 words, no matter how big or small, it seemed to be poured out, but although there were a lot of things he knew and heard before, most of them were hearsay, and he didn't handle it, so most of them were general talks, and the more detailed and valuable information was already mastered by Li Shiqun. This private prosecution does not have much value other than verifying Liu Zezhi's "loyalty".
After half a month of intensive preparations, the "Headquarters of the Special Agents of the Special Committee of the Kuomintang Central Executive Committee" at No. 76 Jisfeier Road in Shanghai was formally established, which consists of three departments, one team and one room, an action team, an intelligence department, a telecommunications office, a general affairs office, and a confidential office. Among them, the General Affairs Office has four departments: finance, personnel, technical appraisal and administration. Li Shiqun took the lead in the officialdom and served as the director, holding great power. Liu Zezhi was very busy, the organization was first built, purchasing equipment, decorating rooms, and customizing uniforms...... There was a lot of private gains, and naturally some of them fell into the hands of Li Shiqun's wife, Ye Jiqing. I remember that Li Shiqun once said in the training class: As an agent, the best disguise is not to disguise, and to treat the role you want to play as yourself. You're not playing a role, because no matter how good a performance is, there are flaws, and only when that role is your true colors, can it be seamless. Liu Zezhi remembered these words and turned to deal with Li Shiqun.
Two or three months later, it was first short-lived, and then all kinds of reports and reports came to the ears of Li Shiqun and others. When the boss inquired, Liu Zeyi did not admit it. At first, Li Shiqun pretended to be deaf and dumb, and when he heard it, he couldn't hear it. Later, the matter gradually caused the Japanese to hear the rumors and had to inquire in person, but Liu Zezhi neither admitted nor denied it. Li Shiqun first made Liu Zezhi restrain himself, the speaker was earnest, and the listener despised it, which had no effect at all; Li Shiqun, who was furious, reprimanded, confined, and punished, Liu Zezhi admitted his mistake at that time and promised that he would never do it again, as always. and while privately asking who was having trouble with him, he threatened to retaliate; On the one hand, he shared the fat with those peaks who could manage himself, and he was nostalgic for the wine shop teahouse and even the Qinlou Chu Pavilion with the colleagues who could use it and got along with him. After a long time, it will be over.
After the No. 76 dormitory was built, Liu Zezhi moved in, how is it also the head of a section, and the dormitory is also under the jurisdiction of the administrative department, near the water, Liu Zezhi left himself a very clean and spacious suite at the end of the corridor on the east side of the third floor to live alone. He also deliberately kept the room where Li Mansion had stayed, staying for one or two days a week, and invited Ni Xin, who served as Li Shiqun's confidential secretary, to live with him when he needed to stay in Li Mansion. Gradually, Liu Zezhi was in No. 76, Li Shiqun's cronies, but he was a second-tier idler with low ethics, and his role of eating together with his past friendships was established. Since the headquarters of the Chongqing Military Command Bureau contacted Liu Zezhi once, it seems that he has forgotten his savings and has not heard from him.
Half a year passed quickly, and in Shanghai in the mid-spring of the 29th year of the Republic of China, the grass grew and the warbler flew. Except for the Japanese and the gangsters and ruffians who were snare in Shanghai, the number of real professional agents of No. 76 was not large, and soon, the professionals were stretched thin. With the advance of the Japanese war in China, China's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression entered the most arduous stage, and the land was lost one after another, and the sun flag fluttered on more and more Chinese lands...... No. 76 is becoming more and more powerful, and his salary is much better than that of the Chongqing Military Commandery. And Liu Zezhi still can't do anything. It was a Sunday, and Liu Zezhi sent some cosmetics from Hong Kong that had been seized by the smuggling to the Li Mansion, and Ye Jiqing left him to taste the skills of a new Cantonese cook. After the meal, Ni Xin also came: "Are you also there?" I'll go to you again. Brother, your leisurely days have come to an end. You know that there have been two spies from the people you recruited before, but fortunately, they were discovered early and did not cause much damage. Recently, many of the new recruits have been recruited, many of whom are from Chongqing, and Director Li has given me a task: to temporarily set up a screening office to be responsible for the screening of new arrivals. There were not enough people, so I asked you to help, and the director agreed. I'm going to take office tomorrow. β
"No, man, it's not that I don't know how to lift, I have a lot of miscellaneous things at hand, and I can't pull away. Besides, it's an errand that offends people, do you see if you're looking for someone else......"
"Okay, okay, don't be lazy, it's either a formal transfer, or a part-time job, at most a month or two. It's decided. β
Ni Xin left in a hurry. Liu Zezhi thought about it again and again, this is an opportunity, and Liu Zezhi hates those traitors who are willing to be eagle dogs for their own selfish interests! However, he did not receive instructions from Chongqing, so he had no right to act at all...... What's more, isn't this another test for Li Shiqun? Once he makes a mistake, not to mention that his previous efforts are wasted, Li Shiqun will definitely let his life be worse than death! He decided to go home. The two brothers Liu Wu and Liu Lin are all at home. Seeing his brother who hadn't come home for a month, Liu Wu hurriedly greeted him. The younger brother Liu Lin said with a cold face: "You're back?" Busy, right? Just in time, I'll tell you, I'm leaving. β
Liu Wu reprimanded: "It's not allowed to talk to the fourth brother like this, there are no rules!" Fourth brother, don't pay attention to him. β
Liu Zezhi smiled: "Go?" Where to? β
"Where are you going?! China is not dead yet! , anyway, I won't beg for food under the Japanese anymore! β
"This is Shanghai, the Shanghai of China, not the Tokyo of Japan. Besides, you are a little ordinary person, working and eating, thinking so much useless, and you are full of food! β
Liu Lin was even more excited: "Do you still know that this is the Shanghai of the Chinese?" I thought you had forgotten that you were a Chinese! Where is that fourth brother from my old time? Where is the fourth brother who is proud, kind and upright, and studied in the UK? β
Liu Wuxun said: "Be quiet! If you have something to say, let's Liu Jiageng read the heirloom, the young and the old are orderly, that's how you talk to your brother? Let the elders of the clan hear, I can't kill you, who has no tutor! Besides, the fourth brother's family is kind to our family, and after our parents died, it was our uncle and grandfather who raised us. β
Liu Zezhi said indifferently: "Where did it go?" Am I not right in front of you? β
Liu Lin snorted hatefully: "But you have changed, and I don't know you anymore!" β
"Since you don't know me anymore, then you can watch slowly until you know me again. Alin, do your postman well, you can't go anywhere, you think I don't know your mind? You went to the Guotong District, and if something happens, I won't be able to stay on the 76th. β
Liu Wuye persuaded: "The fourth brother is right, besides, you are not yet twenty this year, at such a young age, I don't feel at ease when you go out alone." β
"Then I'll go home and farm and eat a bowl of rice innocently! Can't stay at number 76? I think you're quite reluctant......"
Liu Zezhi smiled and said, "Don't you also eat with your own labor in Shanghai?" I don't see any difference. Ah Wu, last time I came back, I heard you say that you have passed the car license test, go to the No. 76 driver team and follow me. I've arranged everything, tomorrow is Monday, you go to resign, and come to work the day after tomorrow. β
Liu Lin sneered on the side: "It's not enough for one person to be a traitor, you have to pull one up!" I ......"
"Shut up!" Liu Zezhi shouted: "Am I a traitor, do you say it...... counted?"
Liu Wu hurriedly played a round: "Fourth brother, don't be angry. Alin, don't be impulsive! Our Liu family is innocent, my uncle was a hero of the Northern Expedition before his death, and the Liu family will not be traitors! β
"There will be no traitors? Hum! No. 76 ...... What is that place? The Great Traitor...... Do you know what Shanghainese people say? β
Liu Zezhi smiled indifferently: "What does it have to do with me when others say someone else's?" Then he straightened his face and said, "Go back to your own room!" β
At midnight, Liu Wu pushed the door in: "Fourth brother, haven't slept yet?" I see you haven't turned off the lights yet. β
"Ah Wu, why do you believe me?"
"Because - the third sister who died in Nanjing is your own sister of the fourth brother! After I got the news, the war was still going on at that time, and the news from my hometown in northern Jiangsu was different, so I only wrote to tell the fourth brother that you were alone, and later received your order, so I didn't tell my family about it...... Although I don't understand why? β
Liu Zezhi patted Liu Wu's head: "You are still young, you will understand later." Don't mention it again. Be optimistic about Alin, follow me and do a good job. Go ahead, turn off the light for me, and I'll go to sleep." β
Cold tears fell from his chest in the darkness, and the wound that had never healed was completely torn again...... Located in the mountainous area of northern Jiangsu, the hometown folk customs are simple but blocked, the Liu family has been innocent for generations, and the fathers and elders of the clan are always proud of "the family has no unfilial sons, and the clan has no women who are no longer filial...... Rape first, then kill...... Even if the beasts lose their conscience, how can they be tolerated by their ancestors and ancestors? Only when these beasts and robbers are killed, and my Chinese rivers and mountains are restored, can I have the face to cry in front of my sister's grave!
