"For this kind of traitor, you should make an example of it, and use his head to educate those guys who collude with foreigners." As an "old and angry youth", Chen Weifu shouted and shouted to kill as soon as he came up. "The 'heads' of Zhao's teachings have deterred the officials of the county government, the heads of the Xi Hong clan have shocked the ruffians in the city, and the heads of the Wang compradors can also deter those traitors and lackeys. With this 'example', I think who would dare to collude with foreign devils? ”

"You don't need to do that, do you?" Chen Jianhua raised objections. "Although they are working for the British, it is a bit too much to cut off their heads, right? Which country do you make your family loyal to? The Qing Dynasty? Taiping heavenly kingdom? Or are we? We haven't even established a formal regime, so how do you make others loyal? Besides, the people of this era do not have the concept of a country and a nation in the modern sense, in their logic, dealing with foreigners, using foreigners' things is a traitor, as big as selling the country for glory, as small as eating with knives and forks, according to this logic, everyone here is considered a traitor. ”

"Now he wants to spy on our intelligence, to harm our interests, he is our enemy, and he must be as ruthless as winter to treat the enemy." Ma Jin, as Dawei's partner, naturally stood up to support his opinion.

"There are a lot of people working for foreigners, will we kill all of them after we catch them?" Zhuang Xue'er also did not approve of overly bloody methods.

"What is the law that we apply to the execution of it? If the word 'treason' is used, it is obviously not established. Xia Dayu went to the official to analyze it legally, "His nationality should be the Qing Empire, right?!" However, his behavior is not considered a betrayal of the Qing Dynasty, but in a sense, it is beneficial to the Qing Dynasty, so from the perspective of the Qing government, the crime of treason is not established; And our government has not yet been established, he has no subject of betrayal, and he himself is not a citizen under our rule, so from our side, treason is not established. ”

Everyone expressed their opinions and refused to give in to each other, and several bigwigs were not at home, several commanders were either defending against the British on the "front line" in Kowloon, or collecting supplies in the original time and space, and the other people did not have a strong right to speak, and in the end, Chairman Huang made the final decision. "It's up to the intelligence services to decide!"

Seeing the ball kicked in front of him, Lu Renjia also took it seriously. "Personally, I think it's too wasteful to simply kill Wang compradors. If we kill him, the British will only lose a wage earner, and they will not even have to pay a pension. In fact, we can use him to work for us. ”

"How to use it? Plotting against him? Let him be a double agent? Thinking of Lu Renjia's position, Ma Jin immediately guessed his intentions.

"It's not appropriate to let that comprador be a double agent, right? With his flawed level, the British would be spotted in less than three days. Although Chen Jianhua opposed the execution of comprador Wang, he was also not optimistic about his business ability.

"There's no need to be honest about that. Wang comprador came to us and needed to disguise himself, a person who has not studied acting, to play another identity, of course, will be full of loopholes, unless he is born to be an actor. Of course, comprador Wang obviously did not have such talent. But," Lu Renjia first affirmed everyone's opinions, and then changed his tone, "After he goes back, he will return to the identity of comprador, and he no longer needs to disguise, how can people have loopholes when they are themselves?" ”

"This person's psychological quality is too poor, if you meet someone who is familiar with him, it is difficult to guarantee that he will not be found out before and after the changes." Nanren, who occasionally dabbles in psychology, put forward his own opinion, "All spies are determined people, and I don't think that comprador is even as good as Fu Zhigao's level." I don't think he can handle the psychological pressure of being a two-faced person for a long time. ”

"Sister Nan, you underestimate these compradors too much. They were originally living with a few masks, he was subservient in the face of foreigners, he was pretending to be powerful in the face of officials, and he was arrogant in the face of ordinary people. In short, their group is a sheep in the face of those who are stronger than themselves, and a wolf in the face of those who are weaker than themselves. Lu Renjia obviously considered all aspects of the problem clearly, and was not afraid of criticism from all sides.

"Why do I think Lao Lu's words are alluding to the officials of that world?" Someone muttered quietly.

"The officials of this plane are not yet a virtue." Seconded the motion.

"So one is the front clear, and the other is the back clear!" A certain fat man also humored.

The whispers of a few people were not heard, and the discussion continued.

"That comprador is clumsy, and he is so blatant in spying on intelligence. Looking at his performance yesterday, where can he do such a difficult job as a double agent? Dawei's words made many people nod frequently, and Wang Comprador's performance was a scum in the eyes of modern people who are used to watching the "007" series of movies.

"Don't be fooled by the movies, real spies are going to die hundreds of times sooner like Mr. Pound. Of course, of course, he can't do it in the true sense of the word, and I don't expect him to open a safe like a professional spy and steal information or anything, I just need him to find out some public information. Doesn't it mean that 90 percent of the intelligence comes from open sources? "The more Lu Renjia talks, the more confident he becomes, and he becomes more and more professional." Unfortunately, we don't even have access to publicly available information. In order to strengthen his point of view, he made another explanation. For example, we can estimate the strength of the British army by the amount of food raised by the British army; Judging the location of the British army by the destination where the supplies were delivered. As a comprador, these may be handled by Wang Ju, even if it is not handled by him, it is easy to find out. ”

"What about loyalty? How can we ensure his loyalty to us? Ma Jin asked the question that everyone was most concerned about. Everyone is not optimistic about the loyalty of this "comprador class".

"I'm going to take some precautions and grab some of his handles. Of course, this does not fully guarantee his loyalty. But then again, even if he betrays us, what do we have to lose? Lu Renjia said very easily.

Yes! What can be lost? This Wang comprador is not his own person, and everyone doesn't care whether he is dead or alive. Even if he is arrested because his identity is exposed, the Liberation Army does not need to rescue him, it is completely the idea of using waste. So, everyone accepted Lu Renjia's opinion.

"Since everyone has no opinions, then Xiao Lu is responsible for arresting this work!" Chairman Huang, who has not expressed his position, spoke, which can be regarded as the final decision of the management committee.

※※※※※

Wang Ju woke up in the early morning sun after sleeping for more than ten hours. It was now his fourth day in Xin'an, and after yesterday's interrogation, he was completely relaxed. Everything that can be explained has been explained, and as for what the Liberation Army will do with itself, it can only be resigned to fate. His current residence is the confinement room of the base, the same modular board room, but the windows are welded with iron railings. With four bunk beds in the room, a small bathroom in the corner near the window, a squatting toilet and a faucet, it was an eye-opener for him to see how extravagant the cell was.

Now he was the only occupant in the confinement room. When he woke up, he continued to lie in bed, thinking about what had happened in the past two days. I shouldn't have promised the British to be this spy if I knew it! I heard those veterans of the British army who experienced the Crimean War say that in the war, whether it is the British and French forces or the Russian army, the spies who catch each other are hanged directly. These Liberation Army acted in accordance with the rules of Westerners, and it was difficult to guarantee that they would end up with those "peers". I was only thirty years old, and I was in the prime of life. A wife and a concubine in the family, young and charming. In particular, the little concubine is a Qing Qi person given to him by the Wu family in Guangzhou, fifteen years old, beautiful appearance, graceful posture, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, proficient in everything, every time she thinks of the tactful girl Qiao Yin in the bed, it makes Wang comprador's heart like a kitten scratching. (To commemorate the concubine who was written by someone in a certain book) Although he already has a son and a daughter and two children, they are only a few years old, if they can't step through this hurdle today, all the glory and wealth, beautiful wives and concubines, not to cheapen others for nothing. It's just that now I'm a fish and a man-made knife, and I can't help myself at all. Thinking of this, two lines of tears slipped from the corners of Wang Ju's eyes.

At this time, the sound of unlocking came from the iron door of the confinement room, and Wang Ju hurriedly got up from the bed, wiped the tears from her face, and stood beside the bed in a proper manner.

Coming in was the guard, who was holding a stainless steel dinner plate with a bowl of white porridge, two steamed buns, and a portion of mustard. The guard was followed by Lu Renjia, and after entering the door, he greeted Wang Ju with a smile and said, "Mr. Wang, good morning!" Did you sleep well last night? ”

Wang Ju went to bed after dinner last night, and she had been thinking about her heart in the first half of the night, tossing and turning, and she couldn't fall asleep. It wasn't until the fourth watch that I fell asleep under the attack of sleepy insects. So his mental state was not very good at the moment, but he still replied respectfully: "Thank you for your concern!" The villain slept well last night! ”

"That's good!" Lu Renjia motioned to the guards to give breakfast to Wang Ju, "Eat breakfast first!" We'll talk about it after eating. ”

Wang Ju knew that the time had come to decide his fate, so he took breakfast and sat on the edge of the bed and began to gobble up, making up his mind that even if he was going to die, he would be a full ghost.

After the guards finished packing up the dishes and left, Lu Renjia sat down opposite Wang Ju, stared at Wang Ju without speaking, and was so frightened that Wang Ju hurriedly stood up. "Sit down! Sit down and talk! Lu Renjia didn't want to talk with his head up, and he couldn't let the other party kneel, so he could only let the other party sit on an equal footing. But the official tone still has to be played. "As for the handling of you, the above has already decided."

Wang Ju hurriedly sat upright, waiting for the verdict to be pronounced. However, looking at the attitude of this Lu Guanye, the result should not be too bad.

"You've been dealing with Westerners for a long time, so you should know what they'll do if they catch a spy, right?" Wang Ju nodded subconsciously, "And you are not only acting as a spy, but also spying on the intelligence of your country for the British." So you are not only guilty of espionage, but also of treason. Hearing that his sin was one more serious, Wang Ju's optimism was broken, and the whole person seemed to have fallen into an ice cellar. However, Lu Renjia's next words saved him again. "However, the superior leader of the Liberation Army thinks that you are confused for a while, so he decided to give you a chance to mend your ways."

At first hearing the good news, Wang Ju was filled with joy and sorrow, and the ups and downs of his mood made him unable to control himself. He fell to his knees with a thud, his head like pounding garlic, "Thank you for the grace of your palm!" Thank you for the palm of your hand! Although he didn't know what the palm was, it didn't prevent him from expressing his excitement.

Lu Renjia helped him up. "Get up! Get up! Men have gold under their knees, don't kneel down at every turn! Seeing Wang Ju crying like a cat's face, he casually picked up a piece of cloth from the upper bed board and handed it to him. Rub it! ”

Waiting for Wang Ju's emotions to slowly calm down, Lu Renjia began the topic of this conversation. "Although the superior chief does not intend to investigate your crimes, he also hopes that you will be guilty of your crimes."

"Yes! Be! The villain must do so. "Wang Ju only wants to get out of the cage now, no matter what.

"Good!" Lu Renjia stood up, walked up to Wang Ju, and patted the latter on the shoulder. "You have to recognize one fact. Although you are working in a foreign company, you are a Chinese, and you should stand on the position of the motherland to fight against foreign invaders, instead of aiding and abetting the British to harm the interests of the motherland. Although Wang Ju did not agree with Lu Renjia's words, she also nodded again and again.

"Now is your chance to make a meritorious deed. After you go back, find a way to find out the situation of the British and French forces in Guangzhou, and then find a way to pass on the information to us. ”

Suddenly, Wang Ju was dumbfounded, he had a feeling that he had just come out of the tiger's den and entered the wolf's den. However, ten years of fighting in the mall were not given in vain, and in a blink of an eye, he figured out the stakes. Now just promise to come down, and when you go back to Guangzhou, the sky will be high and the birds will fly, can the Guangfu Army still chase him to Guangzhou? Wang comprador did not think that the Liberation Army could defeat the British, and now the British army was small in strength, and after the main force in the north returned, the Liberation Army of a thousand people was about to collapse. Originally, the task assigned by Spintozzi was also for him to find out the situation of the Guangfu Army, so he went directly to Guangzhou to report to the governor Bao Ling, and Guangzhou sent reinforcements. He had already explained this point, so Lu Renjia made a plan to let him spy on Guangzhou's intelligence.

Lu Renjia saw his perfunctory, took out a page of documents from his satchel and handed it to him. "Letter of Allegiance, I volunteered to join the Liberation Army, supported the program of the Liberation Army, and abided by the regulations of the Liberation Army,...... Strictly abide by the discipline of the Liberation Army, keep the secrets of the Liberation Army, be loyal to the Liberation Army, and work actively,...... Never betray the Liberation Army. After reading it, Wang Ju took out a pen and signed it without saying a word, but he didn't think so. As soon as the Liberation Army is destroyed, no one will know about it.

Director Lu took the signed letter of allegiance and put it in the folder of his satchel, and there were three words written on the label of the folder of the document - chrysanthemum work.
