Chapter 137: Take You Home

Shanghai, in the middle of the night, the public concession Yidingpan Road.

Zhao Yihai cautiously looked through the crack in the window at the Fourth Route Headquarters of the "Peace Salvation Army" on the 37th opposite, and after a while, after making sure that there was no movement, he tiptoed back to the bedroom, and then lightly took out a record bag from under the bed.

"You're really dead......"

Zhao Yihai's wife, Xu Wenxia, kept looking at him, and after seeing him hesitate slightly, she slowly pulled the record out of the bag, and couldn't help but sigh softly.

"I just want to hear it, just for a while, you can sleep first."

"Listen, can I still listen?" Glancing at Zhao Yihai, Xu Wenxia hugged the quilt and sat up: "Just for a while?" ”

"Just for a moment."

……

The gramophone was moved out and placed on the tableside table, and then, Zhao Yihai carefully put down the record, and then gently put down the stylus......

"Mrs. Xian cried out of the court, but it is a pity that she abandoned the ...... of the next October pregnancy"

A classic of Peking Opera's "Law Field Change" sounded leisurely. This is the story of the Xue family general in the Tang Dynasty. It is said that Xue Gang, the son of Xue Dingshan, the "King of the Two Liaos", escaped from the capital after getting drunk and killing the son of the traitor Zhang Tai, and Zhang Tai then used this to kill Xue Dingshan's family. Xue Gang's brother and sister-in-law, Xue Meng and his wife, brought Xue Jiao, who was only three months old at the time, to the capital to plead guilty, and the traitors wanted to behead them together. In order to retain the loyal descendants, the old minister Xu Ce resolutely exchanged his son for Xue Jiao. This paragraph is the paragraph that Xu Ce sang when he took pity on Xue Meng and his wife. is used in anti-Erhuang, that is, a very low singing voice in Peking Opera.

Zhao Yihai got up in the middle of the night just to listen to the play?

Apparently not.

"Law Field Changer" has only been sung for a while, and the voice coming out of the gramophone suddenly changes, becoming a low, but completely different from another kind of music from the Peking Opera soundtrack, at the same time. A low, but very soft male voice rang out:

"A great river with wide waves ......"

……

The song was confined within a radius of several meters, and could not be heard far away, even in the silence of the night.

This is "My Motherland"!

It's just that the music on this record is completely different from the high-pitched, passionate tunes sung by female voices outside, especially in the nationalized areas, it is low, and it is mixed with many operas and contemporary pop songs. Such as "Night Fragrance" and "Night Shanghai". If you just listen to the beginning or the end, you won't know that this record contains "My Motherland", a song that was strictly forbidden to play in the occupied areas.

You must know that for this song, the Japanese killed a lot of people some time ago.

However, there are always people who can't help it.

Just like Zhao Yihai.

He worked for an American foreign firm in the Public Concession. After the fall of Shanghai, in order to live a relatively good life at present. He didn't flee anywhere else. And these days in Shanghai. Watching the Japanese run amok and listening to the news that the Japanese kept slaughtering the Chinese, although he was occasionally angry, more was just sad and sighed. Originally, he thought that he would live so numbly until the Japanese occupied all of China. Or the day when China counterattacks back to Shanghai......

But he didn't expect that after he suddenly heard "My Motherland" on the radio that day, he would never forget it. The already numb heart also seems to be activated. For days, he couldn't help humming this simplicity when no one was around. But the lyrics are extremely stirring. It's as if this song rings in my ears at any time. It's a pity that with the swift action of the Japanese and those traitors, he didn't hear it once, and he couldn't hear it again. For this reason, he was uncomfortable for many days. But what he didn't expect was that a record that his wife occasionally bought back, only listened to less than half of it, and suddenly it became "My Motherland"!

Although the voice is different, this song "My Motherland" is a male voice, and the voice is very low, so low that it seems like a thief is stealing something, but this is more to his liking. The lower the better, and as long as he can hear it, he is happy. On top of that, the sound is lower, making it easier to detect and easier to eavesdrop...... Moreover, this low song "Motherland" is also more in line with his state of mind. Aren't Chinese like them, who did not flee to the Kuomintang area, but stayed in the occupied area, just like the male voice in this song, depressed, but can't help but want to work hard?

……

"Alright, that's it."

A song is not long, and soon, the anti-Erhuang singing voice of "Law Field Changer" sounded again. The song is sung by contemporary celebrities, but Zhao Yihai and his wife are not in the mood to listen to it. Xu Wenxia quickly put away the record, stuffed it back into the bag, and handed it over to Zhao Yihai.

"Put it away."

"It's still unfinished......" Zhao Yihai pursed his lips and didn't answer for a long time.

"You, don't you just say it's okay to do it all over again?" Xu Wenxia said annoyedly.

"I've been talking for a while, but it'......s only been a while," Zhao Yihai showed a flattering smile to his wife, "Come back for a while?" ”

"You ......" Xu Wenxia bit her lip, she wanted to refuse, but looking at Zhao Yihai's eager eyes, she finally couldn't bear it: "Just again!" If you listen again, I will move to my mother's house tomorrow, so that I don't have a good night's sleep and I am afraid. ”

"Okay, well, listen to your ......" Zhao Yihai's face seemed to be smiling, and he reached out to take the record.

"I'll come. You go look outside......

"Okay, you wait for me to come back and put it on......"

Zhao Yihai is very obedient. After saying a word, he hurried out of the bedroom, and then walked to the side of the street in the living room, and looked through the curtains......

There was no movement.

Zhao Yihai nodded, and was about to lower the curtains, but at this moment, he saw the door of the so-called "Peace Salvation Army" headquarters on the opposite side open, and then a car drove out of it......

**********************************

"Where are you taking me?"

Sitting in the back seat of the car, Zheng Pingru looked at Lin Zhijiang beside her indifferently...... This traitor, a henchman of Ding Mo Village, suddenly brought himself out of the cell in the middle of the night, what did he want to do?

"Mr. Ding knows that you are here, so he wants me to take you back."

Lin Zhijiang spit out a smoke ring and replied casually. He is a native of Wenling, Zhejiang. Whampoa Phase VI. In his early years, he joined the military command like a fish in water. At the time of the fall of Shanghai, he served as the leader of the second group of the Shanghai District of the Military Command. On March 7, 1938, he assassinated Zhou Fengqi, a reactionary warlord who advocated that "the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression will be defeated, and China will perish". It's a pity that he was soon caught by Li Shiqun, who also defected and surrendered, and then defected to the enemy and joined Wang Puppet No. 76. After entering No. 76, he first followed Li Shiqun, and then became a subordinate of Ding Mo Village.

"Really?"

Zheng Pingru stared at him, as if trying to see something in his eyes.

"Don't look at me. If there is no order from Mr. Ding. I don't dare take you out either. Don't forget who got you here. Seeing Zheng Pingru's suspicious eyes, Lin Zhijiang smiled again. Originally, after Zheng Pingru's identity was revealed, she had been locked up in the dungeon of No. 76. It's just that Ding Mocun is greedy for his beauty, so he has never been tortured. Even Ding Mo Village plans to release this big beauty after a while and continue the frontier. After all. This Miss Zheng is indeed too beautiful to say. Otherwise, she would not have become the cover girl of China's most important pictorial "Liangyou" pictorial. Even Fumitaka Konoe, the son of Japanese Prime Minister Fumima Konoe, immediately fell in love when he saw this woman. It's a pity that the red face is in trouble...... Ding Mo Village's wife Zhao Huimin was worried that her husband was fascinated by this woman, so she quietly found him and taught him face-to-face, so that he secretly transferred Zheng Pingru to the Fourth Road Headquarters of the "Peace Salvation Army" at No. 37 Yidingpan Road, which even Ding Mocun and Li Shiqun, the leaders of No. 76, did not know. And after that. Mrs. Wang Chen Bijun personally came to persuade her to surrender, but unfortunately, Zheng Pingru was still unmoved.

"Mr. Ding won't just let you take me back to No. 76, right?" Zheng Pingru asked again.

"Go to Nanjing first and stay in Nanjing for a while. After that, it should be ready to be released. Lin Zhijiang replied.

"Really?" Zheng Pingru turned her face away, staring at him with big beautiful eyes.

"Of course it's true." Lin Zhijiang was stared at a little uncomfortable, and replied with a frown.

"You lied to me."

"What?"

"I said you were lying to me." Zheng Pingru smiled and sighed lightly, "When you brought me out tonight, you actually wanted to kill me, right?" ”

"Don't talk nonsense......"

"Although I have been locked up, I also know that Mr. Wang's life has not been easy recently. Not to mention being slapped hard at the inauguration ceremony, the Nationalist Government received a large amount of arms and funds from France...... I'm afraid these things will affect your morale a lot, right? ”

"The little thing at the inauguration was nothing more than a trick of the military commanders, as for the French arms and funds...... No matter how much money he has, the old man may not be able to beat the Japanese. What's more, the French spent money to buy oil fields, which is not equivalent to expressing support for Chongqing in the international community. Lin Zhijiang argued.

"But these things are always against you. So, you need to kill people. Zheng Pingru smiled lightly again, "I guessed correctly, right?" ”

“…… In the days after Mr. Ding was stabbed, it would be nice if you could be so smart. Lin Zhijiang fell silent. This woman is not only beautiful, but also intelligent. It's a pity that he still has to die after all.

"I was too greedy back then."

……

"Here we are."

The car soon arrived at Zhongshan Road, which was flanked by a wilderness.

"That's where you chose for me?" Zheng Pingru pushed the car door and walked down, ignoring the spy who was staring greedily at her with covetous and pitiful eyes, and looked up at the moon in the sky stupidly, "It's okay, the weather is good." ”

"Do you have any last words?" Lin Zhijiang also got out of the car and asked in a deep voice.

"There's not much to say. But you and I know each other, I just hope you can read this little bit of affection, and when you shoot later, don't hit me in the face! ”

“……”

"Let's go. You don't just do it on the side of the road, do you? ”

Zheng Pingru looked up at the sky again, and then, with an indifferent smile, walked towards the woods by the roadside. Lin Zhijiang looked at her back, but didn't follow after all, but just glanced at the two spies next to her:

"Do as she says."

"Yes."

……

"Bang"! "Bang"! "Bang"!

Not long after the group entered the woods, Lin Zhijiang heard three gunshots in succession. He knew that it was the two spies who were executing Zheng Pingru.

"It's a pity."

A generation of celebrities died like this. He gently threw the cigarette in his hand to the ground and sighed:

"Don't blame me. If it weren't for your refusal to surrender, if it weren't for your Lao Tzu's disregard for your life and death, and would rather die than help Mr. Wang's favor and serve as the justice minister of the new government, you would not have this result. It's a pity......"

"yes, it's a pity."

The faint voice suddenly sounded on the side, making Lin Zhijiang, who was talking to himself, break out in a cold sweat. However, before he could react, he felt as if his neck was being clamped by iron tongs, tightening it tighter and tighter, and then he heard a "click" sound......

……

Lin Zhijiang was twisted alive and his neck was broken. Less than two minutes after his death, three people came out of the woods. The one walking in the middle was Zheng Pingru, who should have been executed. It's just that Zheng Pingru's face at this time no longer has the calmness just now, but more surprise and surprise. Especially after seeing Lin Zhijiang's strange death, this emotion directly reached the highest point. This made her can't help but stare curiously at the guy in a trench coat in front of her:

"Who are you?"

"Contemptible drunk," the man smiled lightly, revealing a mouthful of neat white teeth, "Miss Zheng, I was ordered to take you home." (To be continued......)
