"Nonsense!"

Zheng Jiemin had just received a call from Dai Li. Just as Gu Changjun found out, Dai Li was planning to cooperate with the Belgian Catholic priest Lei Mingyuan to create the North China Field Supervision Group in Henan, and had already begun preparations. However, the information found by Gu Changjun was not detailed enough. At this time, Dai Li did not think of letting Zhao Lijun also go to Henan, because Zhao Lijun had just been transferred from Shanghai Station to Chongqing not long ago, and it was not a good thing for the military commander to be transferred again in a hurry. In addition, Zhao Lijun is also a homicide, this guy has just assassinated Tang Shaoyi on the orders of Chiang Kai-shek and Dai Li.

Speaking of this Tang Shaoyi, he was a famous political activist and diplomat in the late Qing Dynasty and early Republic of China, the General Office of the Prime Minister of the Qing Government, the first president of Shandong University (then known as Shandong University Hall), the first cabinet premier of the Republic of China, an official of the Kuomintang government, and also served as the president of Peiyang University (now Tianjin University). It can be said that before the founding of the Republic of China, it left a very strong imprint on the political arena and had great influence.

After the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, Tang Shaoyi made remarks in support of the Anti-Japanese War, and was considered to be "one of the most powerful people who advocated the Anti-Japanese War" since the Lugou Bridge Incident. After the fall of Shanghai, Tang Shaoyi sent his wife and children to Hong Kong, and he still lived in Shanghai. Chiang Kai-shek, Kong Xiangxi, and others constantly sent people to lobby and use official titles and allowances to entrap him, hoping that he would keep his temper and not be used by the enemy. The anti-Japanese organizations in Guangdong also sent representatives to persuade Tang to leave the place, but Tang Shaoyi never complied. At the same time, some relatives and friends around Tang Shaoyi are engaged in traitor activities under his banner. Japan also has a so-called "Southern Tang and Northern Wu" plan. Kenji Dohihara, the head of the Japanese secret service, also organized a special committee on China, which was responsible for the work of Tang Shaoyi and Wu Peifu. The plan was for the Tang to organize a national puppet government and replace Chiang Kai-shek's position. Many Japanese spy leaders, such as Gu Zhengwen and Kenji Dohihara, as well as traitors Chen Zhongfu and Wen Zongyao, frequently traveled to and from the Tang Dynasty. Therefore, at that time, it was rumored in Shanghai, Guangzhou and other places that the Japanese enemy planned to use Tang Shaoyi, Chen Zhongfu, Wen Zongyao and others to organize the puppet government in Central China, so the Guangzhou Anti-Enemy Support Association sent a telegram to Tang Shaoyi in early March 1938, asking him to get rid of the encirclement of the evil forces and return to the south, but Tang did not reply. On March 19, people from all walks of life and associations in Guangzhou held a meeting on the second floor of the Provincial People's Education Center, at which various social organizations in Guangzhou City jointly sent a telegram urging Tang Shaoyi to return to the south, and the telegram said: "Please protect the evening festival with kindness, otherwise you will lose your reputation and leave a stench for 10,000 years," and remitted 20,000 yuan for the trip. Tang still ignored it, and refused to collect the travel expenses...... It can be said that Tang Shaoyi's step is a stupid move. Although he has experienced political turmoil and is old in the world, he is a mature political figure, and he has fully considered the gains and losses of his origins; But he was too proud of his identity, thinking that although he was in the isolated island of Shanghai surrounded by the Japanese invaders, as long as he did not take the initiative to offend any party and maintained an ambiguous attitude with all parties, he would not cause too much trouble. He forgot who he was up against.

On the morning of September 28, 1938, under the leadership of Tang Shaoyi's son-in-law Cen Deguang, the Japanese spy Kenji Dohihara personally went to the Tang Mansion for a long talk and won over Tang out of the mountain. Chiang Kai-shek got the information, and finally couldn't bear Tang Shaoyi, and he didn't bother to talk to this old man anymore, so he directly instructed Dai Li to send a capable man to Shanghai to get rid of Tang Shaoyi. So, Dai Li sent Zhao Lijun.

Tang Shaoyi loves antiques. When Zhao Lijun heard the news, he pretended to be an antique dealer who sold vases, and through clever arrangements, Tang Shaoyi took him into the reception room alone. In the reception room, while Tang Shaoyi was appreciating the vase, Zhao Lijun slashed at him from behind with an axe prepared in advance, and Tang Shaoyi was killed immediately. After that, Zhao Lijun was not in a hurry, put away the vase, left the reception room, closed the door of the reception room lightly, and calmly told the bodyguard outside the reception room that he said: "The old lady is waiting for me in the reception room, I will go and get a few better ancient bottles for the chairman to choose, please wait a while, I will come immediately." Then he quickly walked out and escaped in a car with the people waiting outside the Tang house. When the servants found out that Tang Shaoyi had been assassinated and hurriedly sent Tang Shaoyi, who did not know about the personnel, to the hospital for rescue, Tang Shaoyi had already been dead for a long time.

Zhao Lijun completed this task beautifully. But Tang Shaoyi is not an ordinary person after all. He is the first cabinet premier of the Republic of China, not only that, but this is also a good old man, who has been mixed in the political arena for so many years and has a deep relationship.

Therefore, after the news of Tang Shaoyi's assassination came out, public opinion in Shanghai immediately became in an uproar. On October 5, 1938, in the name of Lin Sen, chairman of the Nationalist Government, and Kong Xiangxi, president of the Executive Yuan, Chongqing specially promulgated the "Tang Shaoyi Praise Order", and at the same time allocated 5,000 yuan for funeral expenses, and ordered the life and deeds of the Tang family to be "publicized in the history of the country". "The Biography of Tang Shaoyi" written by the National History Museum said that Tang was co-opted by the Japanese in his later years and asked him to act as a puppet, "but he refused to come out". However, Chiang Kai-shek's actions were concealed from the Chinese people, but not from some Kuomintang veterans. These elders were very dissatisfied with Lao Jiang's killing of Tang Shaoyi without knowing the exact proof of Tang Shaoyi's intemperance, and they did not ask him for trouble. In addition, the Japanese who had lost face were also very annoyed and went on a large scale in Shanghai. Therefore, under pressure, and also to protect his cronies, Dai Li transferred Zhou Weilong, the head of the Shanghai station, and Zhao Lijun, who was directly responsible for the operation.

According to Dai Li's meaning, he just wanted Zhao Lijun, an old subordinate, to hide in Chongqing for a while, because this guy loves to make trouble...... Of course, the most important thing is that Dai Li has no confidence in Zhao Lijun, he is afraid that this guy will stay in Shanghai for a long time, and if he is caught by the Japanese, he will defect, and may even defect directly. At this time, Henan can be said to be the front line of the war, although Zhao Lijun's ability is not weak, but this guy's virtue is really not very good, he is very good at causing trouble, in case of causing trouble on the Henan front line, attracting the attention of all parties, especially the Japanese, it is also very troublesome. Not to mention anything else, as long as the Japanese are willing to make the capital, it will definitely not be much of a problem to tempt Zhao Lijun to rebel, and at that time, Zhao Lijun will say that he was ordered to assassinate Tang Shaoyi, and he will have to sit on wax with Lao Jiang. What's more, Zhao Lijun used to be the core of Shanghai Station, and he knew so many secrets, in case of mutiny, the collateral losses would be too great.

Of course, some people may ask, since such an unstable guy, how could Dai Li let him sit in a high position in the military command, and also entrusted him with many important tasks to carry out, so that he could master so many secrets? This brings us to the specific situation at that time. The spy system during the Anti-Japanese War was actually not too limited at all. Just like the major stationmasters of the military command, many of them are double agents, or even three-sided agents. At the same time, they kept in touch with all parties, ostensibly to gather more information, but from time to time they also peddled the situation on the side of the Nationalist Government to Japan and traitors. The reason for this situation is, on the one hand, the blind expansion of the military command, and second, the lack of regular training. Many of the military commander's spies are even temporarily recruited people in the rivers and lakes, gangsters, and even hooligan leaders. These people have no position at all, and if they have milk, they are mothers. Coupled with the repeated defeats of the national army, they naturally took an even more unfirm position. Dai Li actually knows a lot about this situation, but there is nothing he can do. He must not carry out a "rectification movement" within his own system, because in that case, the military command will not form combat effectiveness at all in a short period of time, and on the contrary, there may be civil strife, and the losses will only be greater. In comparison, Zhao Lijun is not only a graduate of the Whampoa Military Command, but also an old relation, so he is already relatively "loyal", and his ability is strong, so he can naturally achieve a high position.

However, a muddy person is a muddy person, and no matter where you go, you can't change the fact that you love to cause trouble. Zheng Jiemin never thought that Dai Li was only absent for a short period of time, and Zhao Lijun would cause such a big trouble for himself......

"Is it really the Kannon-an you sent someone to?"

Looking at the party who was cross-legged on the sofa, looking like a hanger, Zheng Jiemin tried his best to make his voice appear calmer...... In the entire military command, only this bastard thing in front of him dares to be so rude in front of him. But there was nothing he could do. Who called someone to be Dai Li's cronies, and he was still able to get along with Lao Jiang? helped Lao Jiang do a lot of things like assassinating Tang Shaoyi, and he had no fear.

"That's right." Facing Zheng Jiemin's black face, Zhao Lijun didn't care at all, but smiled: "Director, you don't have to thank me." That kid doesn't know what his surname is, he dares to be rude to you, as a subordinate, I should teach him a lesson. ”

"You teach him? On what basis do you teach him? Zheng Jiemin felt that he was about to faint, "Do you know that the three subordinates you sent have been arrested?" ”

"What? Arrested? Zhao Lijun was stunned for a moment, then became furious, and jumped up directly from the sofa: "M's, a bunch of waste." can't even clean up a small role, and it will be embarrassing for Lao Tzu, and Lao Tzu can't spare them. ”

"Who are you, Lao Tzu?" Zheng Jiemin slapped the table violently, "Do you know that you have already caused a lot of trouble?" ”

"Isn't he just a stinky boy who doesn't know the height of the sky? What trouble can there be? Zhao Lijun glanced at Zheng Jiemin and asked.

The attitude of "you ......" made Zheng Jiemin almost suffer a myocardial infarction, "Do you really not know the seriousness of the matter?" Do you know who called Lu Dao just now? Yes? ”

"Who? It can't be the chairman, he's an old man, right? Zhao Lijun smiled nonchalantly.

"If it's the chairman, then I don't have to rush like this." Zheng Jiemin took a deep breath, "It was Jiang Zhicheng who just called." ”

"Cut, I thought it was which, how old is he Jiang Zhicheng?" Zhao Lijun sneered.

"Jiang Zhicheng is not old, then Central University, Southwest Associated University, Chongqing University, Sichuan Institute of Education, Nankai Middle School, Beiping Normal University, International Radio, Academia Sinica Institute of Liberal Arts and Institute of History and Philology...... Dozens of well-known professors and celebrities from all walks of life jointly issued a circular asking Jiang Zhicheng to warn us not to provoke Qin Wei again, and not only that, but Fu Sinian, a political sufficiency, had already sent a telegram to the chairman of the NPC National Committee to complain, and also warned that he would take this matter to the National Political Participation Conference...... You say, can these people be considered old? What should we do? Zheng Jiemin said slowly, the more he spoke, the more powerless he became, and the more he spoke, the more he felt that he was miserable. The educational and cultural circles may not have much practical power, but once they join forces, the power will be overwhelming. Not to mention their small military commandery, even Chiang Kai-shek had to retreat. But then again, who did he recruit and provoke whom? Why did those people find him?

"So many people? That one...... Director, since you have something to do, then I'll leave first, and then we'll talk, ah......"

Zhao Lijun is very muddy, but he is not stupid. He never thought that his behavior of selling a good man would cause such a big trouble...... With so many schools and relevant departments united, how can he afford to be a small director of military operations? If you are not careful, even if you don't break your bones, you will be unlucky. He's not going to be stupid enough to stay here. Anyway, when he sent someone, he said that it was okay, just to help Zheng Jiemin vent his anger, and now that the consequences have come out, naturally it has nothing to do with him, so he still hurried to Mao Renfeng to ask the matter clearly.

"Y-you bastard!"

When something happened, he ran away, but he left himself behind. Looking at Zhao Lijun's "chic" back, Zheng Jiemin was angry, but he was helpless. He can't tell others that it's not Zhao Lijun who he instigated. Because no one will believe it, not even Dai Li. But he didn't do that. And because he hasn't done it, he can't easily deal with Zhao Lijun...... Isn't dealing with that bastard looking for a scapegoat? will make many people think that he has no one to bear.

"A broom star, a really broom star, you have to be unlucky if you get it. ......" Thinking of the scene where so many celebrities, professors and scholars joined forces to settle accounts with themselves, but they didn't know how to deal with it, Zheng Jiemin felt cold in his heart: "Could it be ...... Am I the next Xu Yuanju? ”
