When Wu Yanbin was standing at the door of the photo studio, a voice next to him whispered:

"Chief Wu, we don't have to queue up."

Wu Yanbin turned his head, and the Qing army corporal had already gotten out of the car and came to his side.

This corporal of the Qing army is called Sun Youtian, but he seems to be a very clever person.

Wu Yanbin looked at him and asked:

"Why don't you have to stand in line?"

"Chief Wu, we have this kind of negative in our hands, let's just say that we were sent out by the Shenyang Northern Corps Headquarters to investigate, and we were scattered by the Japanese army in the middle, and we couldn't go back to Shenyang, so we had to go south to Lushun. These photos in hand are all urgent military information, and they should be washed out quickly and handed over to the Lushun Headquarters, and then the Lushun Headquarters should be handed over to the imperial court. I can't afford to delay for a while! The people who look at the photo studio still dare to let us line up! ”

Wu Yanbin thought for a moment and said:

"It's good, but what if the multiple eyes of the photo studio want to see our documents? Or what if they just let us send it to the Arthur Command? There must be an intelligence department in the headquarters, and the processing of photos is the most basic. Do you think that it is very suspicious that we do not send the negatives directly to the headquarters, but take them to this civilian photo studio to be developed, and we are not afraid of trouble or leakage? ”

Sun Youtian was stunned, bowed his head and muttered:

"Well, that's what the chief said...... That's right. So, what to do? ”

Wu Yanbin touched the pistol in his waist, gritted his teeth, and said:

"There's no other way to do it now than to give it a try. If the boss knows each other, if he doesn't know each other, he will be deducted for 'obstructing military affairs' and arrested him on the spot! ”

"Hey, sir," Sun Youtian hurriedly grabbed his arm and said hurriedly, "I can't help it...... Chief, look, this store is so big, the backstage of people must be hard, and they are not afraid of us at all! ”

"Backstage? What's backstage? Wu Yanbin was puzzled, "Because the store is big, the backstage is hard?" ”

"Of course! How can you open such a big store if the background is not hard! ”

Wu Yanbin was impatient:

"Does it have to be hard in the background to be able to open it? Can't open if the background is not hard? ”

"Sir......" Sun Youtian smiled embarrassedly, "you...... Is there anything you don't understand? Let's put it this way...... If you don't have a backstage, let alone open a store, even if you set up a stall on the side of the road, you have to be like a thief all day long...... Don't...... Could it be that there are still two things in the Ming Dynasty? ”

Wu Yanbin stared at him for a moment, making sure that there was no element of pretending to be stupid, so he "cut" it and said disdainfully:

"I kind of know why you are poor in the Qing Dynasty. I don't fight for it, and I rely on others to block it all day long. ”

Sun Youtian was not convinced, but he didn't dare to speak up. In his consistent understanding, the Qing Dynasty was poor precisely because of the blockade and destruction of Nanming, so what does it have to do with the backstage and not the backstage? Nanming is so rich, isn't it because no one has blocked it?

"Okay," Wu Yanbin waved his hand, "Then there is no other way, but to give it a try." If the photo studio had sent us directly to the headquarters, we would have to make another decision. ”

Wu Yanbin straightened his collar, took a full stance, and then asked Sun Youtian to follow, and the two strode in with the negatives.

……

The backstage of this store is really hard enough, and even the store guys are as good as the uncle. Sun Youtian followed behind and shouted with a smile for several minutes before the guy turned back impatiently. Seeing that it was someone from the military, his face did not change, and he still had an expression of "I am an uncle".

It wasn't until Sun Youtian said the words "urgent military affairs, highly confidential" that the guy at the store looked at them a few times, his expression softened, and he said, "Please come inside", and led them to the manager's room upstairs.

A few people upstairs were playing mahjong. The guy leaned into the ear of what looked like the boss and whispered a few words. Then, the boss looked up at the two men.

"What photo?" The boss held a cigarette in his mouth, squinted his eyes, and smiled, "Why don't you two just take it to the headquarters to wash it?" Now that the investigation is so strict, I will be charged with 'leaking secrets' again, and I will not be able to do business. ”

As he touched the cards, he nodded and smiled:

"Okay, you two, please...... Damn, southeast and northwest wind, white belt red mid...... Who wants? ”

As soon as he raised his hand, a large "red middle" was thrown into the center of the table.

The shopkeeper was about to go out to pick people up, and Sun Youtian didn't know where the inspiration came from, so he stepped forward and said with a smile:

"Shopkeeper, hehehe...... The brothers had such a hard job that they almost lost their lives, and they all wanted to get two packs of cigarettes...... Hehehe, shopkeeper, you said that you are the only photo studio in Lushun City, where can the brothers wash if they don't come to you! If you get it directly to the headquarters, it will save you trouble, then ...... Oh, isn't the money for the brothers' cigarettes gone? ”

The shopkeeper raised his eyes again, squinted and smiled:

"Wash some photos, and still want to rub the official's oil and water? …… How much can you wash? ”

As soon as Sun Youtian saw that there was a door, he immediately smiled and said:

"Hehe, thank you shopkeeper, there are a total of 25 plates, and each plate must be washed...... Wash a lot of sheets. ”

The shopkeeper squinted and smiled:

"How many are many?"

Sun Youtian looked at Wu Yanbin hesitantly. Wu Yanbin has never dared to speak because of his southern accent. He took out a bag of silver dollars from his arms, and then whispered a few words to Sun Youtian.

Sun Youtian took the silver dollar, put it on the table, and then smiled at the shopkeeper:

"Shopkeeper, this is made up by the brothers, how much do you think you can wash?"

The shopkeeper reached out and took the heavy cloth bag, checked it, and smiled at the three card players:

"Yo ho, it's not a small business!"

All four burst out laughing. The shopkeeper opened the cloth bag, poured out the silver dollars inside, clicked a few casually with his index finger, picked up a few more and blew them on his mouth, and then took them to his ear and listened to them, and made sure that they were real silver.

"Okay, take it," the shopkeeper said with a smile, and then handed the silver dollars to the card friend next to him, who was also a bookkeeper, "Lao Zhao, take it and calculate it, and wash it to them according to the price." These oceans, wash as much as you want! ”

……

The bookkeeper took Dayang and led the two of them downstairs. Halfway through, Lao Zhao smiled:

"Hehe, two brothers, I'll take care of the invoice. What's the matter, how much do you want to drive? ”

Sun Youtian was very on the road, took out a single one from the silver dollar bag, stuffed it into the hand of Mr. Tent, and laughed quietly:

"Sir, take it for tea...... All the rest wash photos, tickets...... Open less, twice as much. ”

Wu Yanbin's heart tightened: Be obedient! Open twice as many tickets! That's outrageous, isn't it?

Unexpectedly, Lao Zhao smiled and said:

"Little brother is so honest...... New to the army? Hehe, I'll tell you...... For just a few dollars, twice as much is a bit less. Generally, you have to open five or six times, otherwise it will be boring. …… It's all like that. ”

Wu Yanbin's heart thumped when he heard it, and he heard Sun Youtian laugh and say:

"Well, there is no way...... It's not like usual...... Now that there is a war, the imperial court advocates 'protecting the family and defending the country, saving every penny', and spending is being tightened everywhere. No matter how much there is, I won't let it. ”

Lao Zhao also shook his head and sighed:

"yes...... No one will have a hard time in this war......"

Wu Yanbin listened to the smoke on the side, and said in his heart that such a country and such an army would not defeat the war, it would be really unreasonable.

……

Sure enough, under the arrangement of Mr. Lao Zhao, their photos were processed in the highest priority. Rao waited from morning to noon.

The window of the darkroom opened. The rinsing technician inside took a large basket of photographs and put them on the window.

Wu Yanbin and Sun Youtian hurriedly greeted them, only to see the technician looking at them through the window, and asked in horror:

"Two brothers, where were these pictures taken? …… Ah, ah, if it's confidential, I didn't ask. ”

Wu Yanbin felt that this was a great opportunity to spread panic, and motioned to Sun Youtian to speak.

Sun Youtian then exaggerated the situation of the massacre by the Japanese army, saying how many mass graves appeared, the heads were cut off, and how many corpses were charred...... Now, the Japanese army is moving south in a big way, taking Lushun directly.

The technician's face in the window slowly turned white.

He was in his fifties and one of the more than 800 survivors of the Lushun Massacre. The terrifying scene of the corpse mountain and blood river in the city back then seems to be still in front of us.

The old technician was black-eyed and weak-legged on the spot, pushed the photo basket in front of them, didn't say anything, didn't go to work, pushed the door out, went home and told the whole family to prepare to flee.

Immediately afterwards, several young technicians and apprentices ran out of the dark room, shouting "the Japanese are coming" as they ran, and each ran home to flee.

Wu Yanbin saw that the word "Japanese army massacre" had such a great effect on these ordinary Lushun people, and he was very satisfied. Sun Youtian said at the time, "People in other places don't believe in this, but people in Lushun definitely believe it", which is really not wrong.

There are 25 large paper bags in the big basket, and in each paper bag, in addition to the bottom plate, there are more than 100 washed photos. A rough count shows that there are nearly 3,000 photographs in this large basket. And each one is very clear, and a line of words is added below the photo as required:

- The scene of the massacre of prisoners of war by the Japanese army

"Great!" Wu Yanbin was very satisfied, first put away the bottom plates, and then carried the basket with Sun Youtian, "Let's go, go back to the car!" ”

The truck drove in the direction of the military port, and nine Qing soldiers guarded the photo basket behind it, grabbing a handful of photos and scattering them whenever they came to a crowded place. After a few moments, the place will be in a panic.

……

They walked through the whole city of Arthur and scattered their photos all the way. In this way, only three or four hundred were scattered. There are still two thousand or several hundred sheets in hand, which are ready to be scattered among the sailors of the Arthur fleet.

The truck drove out of the south gate of the city and headed straight for Arthur Bay.

Where you are close to the military port, you can no longer open inside. The entire area around the military port was enclosed with walls and buildings, with only a few exits, each of which was guarded by machine-gun bunkers, and the sentry gendarmes strictly checked the documents. They had no documents and were still wearing the uniforms of the 6th Army, so they could not enter at all.

Wu Yanbin parked his car on the side of the road and stared at the gate of the military port in the distance, and saw that there were naval officers and men coming in and out from time to time, and cars and horse-drawn carriages coming and going from time to time. Of course, they are all subject to inspection.

He thought for a moment and asked:

"Arita, you get out of the car and ask a sailor where there is a tavern with a relatively large concentration of sailors around here."

Sun Youtian understood what he meant and got out of the car.

After a while he came back and said:

"Chief Wu, I understand. Around the corner in front of us was a 'street of laborers', full of taverns, casinos, brothels and so on, all of which were run by relatives of the officers in the fleet, and the business of that whole street depended on this Lushun fleet...... Drive, I'll show you the way. ”

As soon as Wu Yanbin stepped on the accelerator, the truck headed in the direction pointed by Sun Youtian.

……

Sure enough, after driving less than a kilometer, a bustling street appeared at a bend and turn. In Beiqing, it is rare to see such a prosperous street outside the city.

There are a large number of military vehicles, sedans, mule carts, and bicycles parked at the corner of the street, and the signboards of taverns, brothels, and casinos are lined up one after another, and the Qing army sailors are bustling, crowded with people, and the noise is deafening, and the sewage on the ground is flowing sideways, and the smell of wine and meat is mixed with the stench of swill. It is not uncommon to see middle- and lower-ranking officers passing by with women in their arms. And the ordinary sailors next to him can rarely afford to play with women, and can only vent their energy in taverns and casinos. As for the senior officers, they don't come to this place. They took the car directly and went to Lushun City to play high-end.

Although a dozen or so of them wore the uniforms of the 6th Army, in addition to the sailors, there were also many soldiers of the 6th Army in this street, and they were still not very conspicuous.

Wu Yanbin looked at the surrounding scene and muttered:

"Damn, they're all dying, and they can still play so hard."

He looked at his watch, summoned all ten Qing soldiers, gave each of them a silver dollar, and then briefly divided the labor:

"This street is not very long, but there are a lot of people, mainly sailors from the fleet, which is convenient for us. Everyone finds a tavern and sits down to order some food and drink. When I was drinking, I took out a stack of photos to fiddle with, spread them out on the table, and then pretended to be sad. Surely there will be a lot of sailors coming around to see it, and you will say that it is a secret and cannot be shown to others. The more this is the case, the more people want to see it. Then you pretend to be drunk, and show the pictures to the sailors with the help of the 'drunkenness', and agitate at the same time. Then get out of here, assemble at the truck, and don't let the gendarmes catch you. Do you understand? ”

The ten Qing soldiers all thought that this arrangement was good, and they all nodded their heads to accept the order.

Wu Yanbin finally mobilized again:

"Everyone do a good job, this time it is really done, you can be a Ming person in the second half of your life, not to mention, the Ming government will also give you a heavy reward." You know? ”

The Qing soldiers were all excited again, and they all nodded and grinned:

"We listen to the orders of the military chief!"

"Okay, let's go! Attention, the tavern is a little more even! ”

"Sir, what do you mean by 'average'?"

"Damn, just spread out, don't all stick in a pile!"

"Huh...... Oh no, yes! ”

……

Wu Yanbin didn't look at these Qing soldiers disappearing into the crowd wearing a large stack of photos, he also felt that his body was full of heat, and he felt that the time had come to make contributions.

He pressed a large stack of photos in his arms, strode into a nearby casino, squeezed into the table, and shouted in a thick voice:

"Come, bet!"

As he spoke, he took it out of his arms, and a silver dollar slapped on the table, followed by an exclamation of "oops", and a stack of photos in his arms was also "accidentally" taken out and scattered on the table.

"Hey...... Ay...... Don't rob it......" Wu Yanbin shouted as he pulled out, and shouted in the tone of the Northeasterners, "What are you robbing?" Confidential ...... What do you mean by confidentiality? …… Don't rob it......"

Then squeeze out of the already chaotic casino and run away.
