It was already more than ten o'clock in the evening when I returned to Fan Dake's newly rented residence, the weather was extremely hot, and I saw that there was a well in the courtyard, Liu Zezhi took a shower with well water, and Fan Dake, who was only wearing a pair of underwear (harmony) pants, squatted on the steps while reporting the arrangements of the working group sent to Yu Qian, while waiting for his turn to take a shower.

Ji Qun was even more embarrassed and explained: "What, I'm sorry, there is no one at the door, I heard your voice, so I broke in, there is a secret message, and it is not top secret, I have already translated it......"

"A telegram from the bureau headquarters: Commissioner Xu Yixuan left Chongqing eight days ago and rushed to Shanghai, saying that he was worried that the leakage of secrets would affect the safety of the commissioner, so he only notified the Shanghai branch today." Xu Yixuan was quite dissatisfied with the Shanghai Branch, and Ji Qun knew it.

"Not yet."

Fan Dake also walked out of the room and replied, "Director Zhou has already slept, right?" Someone from Chongqing, it's not too late to talk about it tomorrow, so don't bother Director Zhou, right? Why did you say, 'Fortunately, Feng Gensheng has left', can't Director Feng meet with the commissioner? ”

Seeing Zhou Chengbin, Liu Zezhi asked: "Li Wei is not here?" ”

Liu Zezhi smiled, scratched his head, reported the situation of Xu Yixuan's coming, and asked, "Do you need to send Fan Dake to Quzhou to meet him?" ”

"Yes."

Liu Zezhi explained to Fan Dake: "We must ensure the safety of the commissioner, and take care of the commissioner's daily life as much as possible on the way...... If the commissioner has any inquiries, those who are in the know, of course, must say, those who are not sure......"

Liu Zezhi smiled and replied: "That's what it means, it's better to be silent." ”

Liu Zezhi, who had been sorting out documents all night, called Ji Qun and ordered: "The Military Management Commission has no spare rooms, right?" You go and arrange it, and ask the commissioner to stay in the newly rented courtyard of Fan Dake. ”

At eleven o'clock, Sun Dongsheng rushed back, Liu Zezhi said: "Dongsheng, come back, sit down, old Sun, you can add a signature to these documents, some of them are backfilled, let me explain, since there is a base area, the funds of the Shanghai Branch are self-supporting under the orders of the bureau headquarters, and some accounts are only clear to Director Zhou, you are in charge of the third column, and the expenses account for more than half, but you are often absent, so basically there is no signature, which is not in line with financial discipline——"

"Alas, the bureau headquarters has sent a commissioner, and it is estimated that he will be there when he speaks."

"What big action? Estimated to be...... Don't say it, you should also know the person who came - Xu Yixuan. ”

"That's him."

Liu Zezhi was slightly taken aback: "There is still such a thing?" Why haven't I heard from you? ”

Liu Zezhi asked nonchalantly: "Listening to you say this, could it be that Chen Jinsong deceived ......?"

"Dong Sheng, do what we do, say less and make fewer mistakes."

Liu Zezhi replied: "There are some things that you just need to understand in your heart. There is another thing, I haven't found a chance to tell you: Su Wenfeng, it's your cousin, right? It's been so long, and I've ordered Cui Feng to find him. ”

"Don't say anything, Su Wenfeng's incident at No. 76 is not enough for outsiders."

"Alright, family, where did you come from-"

Sun Dongsheng understood, put away the documents on the table, and put them in the safe.

"On the 25th of last month, Director Zhou was assassinated, and his injuries were not light, and he is still hospitalized, but if he can get up, how can he not come to greet Director Xu in person?"

Ji Qun brought a pot of chrysanthemum (harmony) flower tea, Liu Zezhi took a seat, and said: "Director Xu, please use tea, Dake, Director Xu's room is staying, I have ordered someone to arrange it, you go and see, what is missing?" ”

"That's great, I told you to arrange an assistant. Da Ke, you and I moved to a room and squeezed it to make room for Director Xu and the other three distinguished guests. ”

"I've seen them all, and on behalf of the Shanghai Branch, I would like to welcome you to both of you." Liu Zezhi said that Xu Yixuan came to the Shanghai branch with the chief of finance, what does it mean? Could it be that the accounts are being audited?

Liu Zezhi was very polite: "You don't have to be polite. It's already noon, Director Xu, should you have a light meal first? Or are you going to see Director Zhou? ”

"Okay, I'll arrange it, and a few people will rest for a while, at most half an hour, and I'll take a few of them to the hospital."

The admonished guard replied, "Yes, please wait. ”

Xu Yixuan said in his heart: Zhou Chengbin's style is very big. Fu Tieshan and Qi Ruibo also wanted to follow in, but the guard stopped them: "Please wait outside, two." ”

Zhou Chengbin half leaned on the hospital bed, Liu Zezhi gave a very standard military salute and said, "Director Zhou, subordinate Liu Zezhi is here to meet the chief." ”

Zhou Chengbin's attitude was very easy-going: "Sit down." Lao Xu, it's hard work. ”

Liu Zezhi glanced at him, as if he was strange: Why is he so disrespectful in front of the chief?

"Boss Dai ordered me to come to Songhu to be responsible for the upcoming reception. According to the information provided by the Tokyo Intelligence Group of the Military Command, the Japanese top brass has different opinions on whether or not to continue to resist stubbornly, and the recalcitrant resistance faction is gradually losing the upper hand. ”

"Boss Dai ordered me not to intervene."

Liu Zezhi carefully asked: "Is Director Xu fully responsible for receiving it?" Can someone else step in? ”

"In other words, Boss Dai is worried that the Shanghai branch is understaffed, so he sent Director Xu to participate in the division of labor under the leadership of Director Zhou?"

Xu Yixuan said: "Receiving, you need funds, of course, the reverse production in Shanghai and Nanjing, I estimate that it accounts for more than 50% of the total number of the country, after the receiving, Boss Dai will deal with it, but that is in the future." ”
