CHAPTER IX

When Xu Jinge bought cigarettes in the morning, he found the instructions of the "dark horse" from the changed money recovered, and the "dark horse" informed him to go to No. 37 Cinder Hutong to discuss important matters. Xu Jinge knew that it was the district headquarters of the Beiping District of the Military Command, and only a very few of the agents of the Military Command Pingjin and Tianjin knew this address.

Xu Jinge didn't dare to slack off, he went home and said hello to Yang Qiuping, and immediately set off to the South Street of Dongsi Pai Lou and walked into the east exit of Cinder Hutong. After entering the alley, Xu Jinge paid attention to the first red gate on the left, in front of which two policemen were standing guard, and he knew that this was the famous "railway club", which was originally a place for senior staff of the Pinghan Railway Bureau to rest, but now occupied by the puppet regime in North China. In the information Xu Jinge saw, this place is called "No. 20 Cinder Hutong", and it is said that Kita Seiichi, head of the Liaison Department of the Japanese Dispatch Army in North China, often comes here to meet with Wang Kemin, the provisional chairman of the puppet Republic of China.

Xu Jinge seemed to wander casually, keeping the surrounding terrain and landforms in mind, and finally turned to Goldfish Hutong after leaving the North Pole Pavilion, and approached No. 37 Cinder Hutong in Dong'an City from the side door of Goldfish Hutong. Xu Jinge knocked on the courtyard door according to the agreed code, and a man of medium height and thirties opened the door and greeted Xu Jinge with a smile on his face: "Ouch, cousin, you haven't been here for a day, please come in!" Come in! ”

Xu Jinge smiled and greeted this person as he walked into the courtyard: "Cousin, it seems that life has been going well recently, and you have been a little blessed." ”

This person is Mao Wanli, the acting head of the Beiping District of the Military Command, Xu Jinge was very familiar with him before the war, he is Dai Li's fellow villager, and he is also the brother of the military commander Mao Renfeng, so Dai Li attaches great importance to Mao Wanli, first selected him as his confidential secretary, and now because Wang Tianmu, the head of Beiping District, is engaged in guerrilla work in Tianjin, Mao Wanli temporarily acts as the head of the district. This man seems to give people the impression of being honest and honest, but in fact he is a ruthless person, and his colleagues are afraid of him. Although Xu Jinge and Mao Wanli are very familiar, they do not have a deep relationship, and the discipline of the military command is very strict, and it is not allowed to have too close relations between insiders.

Mao Wanli introduced Xu Jinge into the living room, and a handsome man greeted him and smiled: "Brother Jinge, don't come to harm?" ”

Xu Jinge also smiled and stretched out his hand: "Brother Gongshu, I didn't expect to see you here, going to Beiping on business?" ”

This person is Chen Gongshu, the head of the Tianjin Station of the Military Command and the famous killer. Chen Gongshu was a student of the fifth phase of Huangpu, and was also a classmate of Xu Jinge's "Special Police Officer Training Class of the General Staff Headquarters" in Sandao Gaojing, Nanjing in 1935, and a total of 30 trainees were trained in the special training class that year, and these people later became the backbone of the Military Unification Bureau......

Chen Gongshu shook hands with Xu Jinge and said straight to the point: "Brother Jinge, the national crisis is at the head, so I won't talk about it, I have an important mission to go to Beiping this time, and I have to have Brother Lao Jinge to help." ”

Xu Jinge smiled faintly: "It's easy to say, Brother Gong Shu will say it if he has something." ”

Chen Gongshu invited Xu Jinge to sit down, handed over a cigarette and lit it for him with a lighter, and said bluntly: "Recently, Wang Kemin collaborated with the enemy and betrayed the country and became the head of the traitor, the old man was very annoyed and ordered Boss Dai to kill Wang Kemin. Yesterday, Boss Dai gave me an order to sanction Wang Kemin's camera. Brother Jin Ge, this time Boss Dai specially ordered your general and asked you to assist me, how about it, is there a problem? ”

Xu Jinge agreed: "No problem, what do you say?" I listen to you. ”

Chen Gongshu excitedly gave Xu Jinge a punch: "Okay, I'm relieved to have your words, to be honest, although there are a lot of agents in Beiping District, except for your action group, the rest are not very effective, and your piece of fragrant bait is directly under the orders of the 'dark horse', which is also the reason why Boss Dai asked you to assist me, how about it, it seems that the 'dark horse' agreed?" ”

Xu Jinge nodded: "Of course, otherwise how would I have found this place directly?" ”

"Let's make a plan, you're going to have to take care of it, man." Chen Gongshu politely asked Xu Jinge's opinion.

"Okay, you can introduce Wang Kemin's background first, I don't know much about this person, I only know that he is a big traitor." Xu Jinge said.

Chen Gongshu said with a smile: "Brother Jin Ge, you are still the same, you don't kill people for no reason, if you make a move, you must have a reason to take action, among our military command personnel, there are not many people like you." ”

Xu Jinge said: "Punishing evil and promoting good for the interests of the country and the nation, this is my principle, otherwise, why would I kill people?" ”

Second Master Sun has been a "plaything" recently, and since Bai Lianqi came, he has learned everything. First of all, he only raised a thrush, but under the influence of Bai Lianqi, he bought larks, yellow birds, blue indigo chins and other birds that are good at singing, and there are seven or eight different bird cages alone, and they can't take the birds in the morning. Second Master Sun had to ask the coachmen for help, and the coachmen are not stupid, who cares about you if there is no benefit? So Sun Erye opened a bid code, who can help him walk the birds can be free of half of the car, Wen San'er didn't even be stunned when he heard it, and immediately agreed to be the "waiter" of these birds, and when other coachmen woke up and wanted to compete for this fat difference, Wen San'er had already started working with a few bird cages.

Every morning at five o'clock, Sun Erye and Wen San'er went out on time, each carrying four bird cages, covered with blue cloth, and shaking their hands while walking, it is said that precious birds like this feeling of swinging. The two set off from Nanheng Street, through the Hufang Bridge through the Tieshu Xiejie into the Dashilar, and then through the Qianmen Louzi to the Taimiao Houhe, where is the largest place in the capital to learn the art of birds, where the sky is high and the water is clear, the trees are luxuriant, and there is no urban noise, the birds in the past are mostly foraging here, it is the natural teacher of the birds who practice "pressing the mouth", the bird walkers put the bird cage under the tree, and the people hide on the side to watch, this is a job to practice patience, if you are lucky, the birds are clever, and you can "press" the new mouth in a few days, on the contrary, It's useless for you to wait a month or two. Second Master Sun didn't know that there was a place to "press the mouth" of the birds, if it weren't for Bai Lianqi's guidance, he wouldn't have been able to enter the road.

Coming back from the Taimiao Houhe, Sun Erye also has to go to the "Guangyi Xuan" teahouse on Xizhu Shikou Street to sit, this teahouse is the famous "Yellow Bird Seat" in Beijing, every morning to drink tea here are the people who raise yellow birds, they have to gather here after walking the birds, hang the bird cage at the door of the teahouse, and comment on the birdsong while tasting tea. Here, drinking tea is secondary, everyone is mainly here to exchange the experience of raising birds, and show off to each other, if any master brings the dirty birds into the teahouse, then it is considered to be a stab of the big Louzi, those who raise yellow birds must fight with you.

Whenever this happens, Wen San'er has to stand outside the teahouse and look at the bird cage, because this is the "Yellow Bird Seat", other birds can't come in, Sun Erye understands the rules, he only carries two yellow bird cages when he enters the "Guangyixuan" teahouse every day.

After walking the birds back to the car dealership, the time was less than eight o'clock, Sun Erye wanted to sleep back to the cage, and Wen San'er pulled the car to the street. Wen San'er is quite content with the job of walking birds, although he got up a little early, it is still worth it to skip half of the car.

Bai Lianqi and Dezi came to the car shop on time every day, Dezi took the car and left, while Bai Lianqi stayed to play with Sun Erye. Second Master Sun is fun, and he has some money in his hand, but he doesn't know how to enter the Tao. Bai Lianqi has no money, and he has no other skills, but he can play, and what is even more rare is that he has spare time, and the two hit it off. Bai Lianqi became the "consultant" of the "Tonghe" car dealership, not only to guide the birds, but also to pick up the second grandfather to raise insects, and after the second grandfather's interest in raising insects was cultivated, Bai Lianqi and the second master Sun did some small business every now and then, either today from the arms of a grasshopper, or tomorrow to hold a cricket jar. According to Bai Lianqi's meaning, the insects he handled were all absolutely top-grade, and they were all the best products that entered the palace to pay tribute before, but now that the emperor is gone, these best products have to be cheap Sun Erye. Although Sun Erye doesn't understand the market, he also knows how to bargain, whenever Bai Lianqi reports a bid, Sun Erye doesn't want to think about it, blocking the waist is a knife, and the transaction is always below half price. Bai Lianqi always complained when he took the money: "You Han people are too good at doing business, we have been fighting with you for three hundred years, and we can't fight you when we arrive." ”

Second Master Sun said: "You shouldn't have come at all, the cat shoots rabbits outside the gate, sews a piece of animal skin jacket or something, isn't it quite moist to live?" It's been hundreds of years since I fucking cried and shouted to come up to our Han people's territory, I haven't learned anything, I'm proficient in eating, drinking, prostituting and gambling, and if I bomb you back at this time, I'll lose my fucking rabbit shooting skills. ”

Beiping people raise insects not only to listen to the call, but mainly to fight insects, fighting insects must have opponents, so Bai Lianqi changed the "Tonghe" car shop into a field for fighting crickets, often send out posts to make appointments, and the cover of the invitation is written with the words "Le Zhan Jiuqiu", which seems very tasteful. Recently, the car dealership has been very lively, and people who come in and out are some owners holding cricket jars in their hands, and even the Japanese have been recruited.

Japanese ronin dog breed Heisai is a Chinese expert, he has lived in China for many years before the war, in terms of dress, he is always a black kimono, pedaling traditional Japanese clogs, and sometimes carrying a handful of Japanese ***, just look at the dress, you say that he is two hundred years ago Japanese people believe. It seems that there is no proper occupation for dog breeding, he has idle work, and often haunts the streets and alleys of Beiping, restaurants and teahouses. There are also people who have seen him in Liulichang and Bada Hutong, and he spends his money very generously, but no one knows what he earns money on.

Inuyang Pingzhai and Bai Lianqi knew each other before the war, and he was very interested in the lifestyle of the children of the Eight Banners in the capital, and he tried his best to imitate it, but it was not normal to play anything. At that time, he was fascinated by raising birds under the purging of Bai Lianqi, and pestered Bai Lianqi all day long to find birds for him, and it happened that a wine and meat friend of Bai Lianqi had a "dirty" yellow bird, and the master was annoyed when he saw this bird, and was about to fall to death this thing that did not grow, but was stopped by Bai Lianqi, saying that this bird is a life, so it is better to give it to me. The master waved his hand and said, Master Bai, take it farther away, don't let me see it again, save me trouble. Bai Lianqi got the birds, turned around and sold them to the dog Pingzhai at a price of ten oceans, and although the dog Pingzhai is known as China's Tong, but he does not raise birds, where does he know what is "dirty", and when he gets the bird, he will carry the bird cage all over the world to swagger through the market, catch who and who to show. The owners of those yellow birds avoided it when they saw the dog Pingzhai carrying the bird cage over, for fear that their birds would also learn to dirty their mouths.

At that time, the Japanese were pouting the traitor Yin Rugeng to set up some "autonomous **", the anti-Japanese sentiment of the Chinese was high, and friends who raised birds praised Bai Lianqi's move as giving the Chinese a long face, and the Japanese did not pit money in vain. Of course, there are also unauthentic masters, who are worried about pleasing the Japanese all day long, Lu Zhongyong, a reporter from the "Beijing Evening News", is such a piece of material, he told Inuyang Pingzhai: "This yellow bird is dirty, worthless, you let Bai Lianqi give it to the pit." ”

Helpless how to explain, canine Pingzhai can't figure out what a "dirty mouth" is.

"What did this bird eat and get its mouth dirty, so don't you have to rinse your mouth?"

Lu Zhongyong was anxious: "Let's put it this way, you bird has learned to scold, you understand, right?" ”

Inukai Pingzhai was happy when he heard it: "Can you scold people? This is great, of course the bird that can curse is a treasure, it would be better if it could hit people, I like this bird, in the words of you Chinese, called 'outstanding', right? ”

This matter became a joke among the old and young masters who raised birds, and everyone agreed that the Japanese are all goods with no heart, and they don't even understand the "dirty mouth", and he is also worthy of raising birds?

He stubbornly believed that he would eat whatever birds he liked, for example, he loved to drink Japanese miso soup, and he also loved to eat rice balls called "Suxi", so he fed the yellow bird with miso soup mixed with "Suxi", and sometimes added some green mustard or chili oil, saying that it was more flavorful, and just like that, he fed the yellow bird to death in less than a month.

It is a recent thing that Inuyang Pingzhai likes to raise crickets, which is of course instigated by Bai Lianqi. Since Inuyang Pingzhai claims to be a "China expert", Bai Lianqi naturally has to be argued from a historical perspective. Why is it said that raising crickets is the "quintessence" of China? According to Bai Lianqi, China since ancient times to raise crickets, fighting crickets is an elegant social activity, far in the Southern Song Dynasty has become a trend, the Southern Song Dynasty Prime Minister Jia Rudao is a master of raising crickets, under his drive, the princes and nobles at that time have followed suit, to raise crickets, fighting crickets for the fashion, this wind has not diminished to this day, is one of the quintessence of our China.

Inuyo Pingzhai knew some Chinese history, and he snorted: "I remember that the Southern Song Dynasty died because of its love of fun." ”

Bai Lianqi said: "This is a bad statement, playing is just a popular saying, in fact, this is a broad and profound Chinese culture, Chinese culture never convinces people by force, but convinces people with etiquette, so to speak, it doesn't matter what your origin is, whether you came in with a knife or a gun, or you came to trade with silver, there are too many, within a hundred years, you can't find yourself, where did you go?" It's melted into Chinese culture, you no longer want to dance with knives and guns, and play wild, that's cold. You learned Chinese qinqi poetry and painting, learned to eat, drink and have fun, and played as a Chinese, forgetting where you came from earlier. What is a dead country? The country can't die, the more Chinese the country dies, the bigger the territory, believe it or not? Jin destroyed the Northern Song Dynasty, Yuan destroyed Jin, destroyed the Southern Song Dynasty, how did it happen? Less than a hundred years after the Yuan Dynasty destroyed the Southern Song Dynasty, it was over itself, China is still China, is it destroyed? We were Manchu when we entered the Central Plains, and the Eight Banners Army was also skilled in archers and horses, and had great martial arts, how about it? In less than three hundred years, the children of the Eight Banners can't even ride horses, and then they dance knives and guns, they feel cold, but they are proficient in everything, is China dead? Not dead, not only did not die, but even we Manchu joined the gang and became Chinese, and China is even bigger. Think about it, it's been more than 2,000 years, today you destroy me, tomorrow I will destroy you, you will be destroyed, or the meat will rot in the pot, China is still China. ”

Inukai Heisai laughed when he heard this: "Bai Jun, your view of history is very interesting, I understand, you mean that we Japanese will be assimilated by you sooner or later, and you are not afraid that I will report to the gendarmerie with such anti-Japanese remarks?" ”

"Inu-kun, you arrested me into the gendarmerie, who will teach you to play?"

Inukai Heisai thought for a while and said: "That's right, Bai Jun, I'm an oppositionist, I have no interest in politics, and I don't believe in the nonsense of those politicians, frankly speaking, what Sino-Japanese friendship, what is the joint construction of the Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere, this is all nonsense, I like to be honest, in my opinion, the war between Japan and China is nothing more than a competition for resources and living space, everyone is an animal in the jungle, it is natural for the strong to eat the weak, this does not need any reason, maybe being hungry is the reason......"

"Inukai-kun, do you mean that you Japanese are hungry and want to swallow China like a roasted white potato?"

"I'm sorry, we have been hungry for thousands of years, so it's our turn to eat a full meal, right? Our Yamato nation admires the strong and despises the weak, according to your Beijing words, if you win the battle, you are the master, and if you defeat the battle, you are the grandson, and you have to recognize the head. ”

"Do you have to eat mixed noodles?"

"That's what it means, Bai Jun, don't be unconvinced, I don't understand other Chinese, but I still understand your Bai Lianqi, you don't have the courage to take up arms to resist the Japanese, so your words don't constitute any threat, why do I need to report you?"

Bai Lianqi said with a smile: "That's right, what you said is not good, my Bai Lianqi has no ability to play with guns and cannons, my ability is to play with things, if you Japanese forget to fight, Sino-Japanese friendship will be realized." ”

Inuyang Pingzhai said: "Bai Jun, take out your treasure and take a look, I want to state in advance that I am only interested in high-grade crickets." ”

Bai Lianqi took out two paper tubes rolled up of white paper from his arms and said: "I, Bai Lianqi, have always only played the best, you see, this is the 'black tooth and green hemp head' from Ningyang, the absolute best." Have you seen Pu Songling's "Promoting Weaving"? The cricket that can fight with the rooster is the 'black tooth and green hemp head'. ”

Inukai Heisai asked in surprise, "Can crickets fight cocks?" You're not kidding, the rooster will eat the crickets in one bite. ”

"You don't understand this, or how can I say it's the best. Aren't you a China expert? Then you are looking for a book "Liao Zhai", not to mention that it is not uncommon for the best crickets to fight cocks and tigers, don't believe it. Bai Lianqi gradually became excited, "Dog breeding, dare you want to raise crickets without knowing anything?" The water in this line is getting deeper, and it looks like I'm going to have to tell you about insect breeding. Speaking of crickets, our more famous production areas in China are in Anhui, Zhejiang, Jiangsu and other places, and the famous 'Zhejiang insects' and 'Shao insects' are produced in Hangzhou, Zhejiang. The varieties of 'Zhejiang insects' include 'white sand green' and 'iron red tongs'. The main varieties of Shao insects are 'blood tooth green' and 'white tooth green'. Alas, there are too many varieties, to talk about it, I can't beat it for hours, I will pick the main one first, Huzhou brings out the 'white belly back', Anhui Huangshan brings out the 'black and white teeth', Yangzhou comes out of the 'white head and green back', Nanjing comes out of the 'hemp head purple', Suzhou comes out of the 'purple head and golden wing'......"

Inuyang Pingzhai was confused when he heard it, he couldn't remember so many names at all, besides, he didn't need to know so many cricket varieties, he unceremoniously interrupted Bai Lianqi's words: "Bai Jun, you only have two crickets in your hand now, you said just now, one is called 'Black Tooth Green Matou', what is the other called?" ”

"Oh, it's only from the Beiping area. At that time, our Lafayette liked the varieties in Beijing the most, and also specially sent eunuchs to buy, the most famous are the 'Fudier crickets' in Sujiatuo in northern Beijing and the 'green hemp head' in Fushouling in western Beijing, as well as the 'crab shell green' in the Ming Tombs. My cricket is the famous 'crab shell green', absolutely superb, let's put it this way, if you go back a few decades, this thing will not reach your hands, you have to pay tribute to the emperor, otherwise it is the crime of bullying the king. At that time, my grandfather had a 'crab shell green', resting in the gourd, sleeping in the hug, my grandmother was jealous, for this cricket, to go back to his parents' house, so angry that my grandfather was going to write a letter of resignation, divorce this ignorant old lady, my housekeeper knelt down and persuaded my grandfather for two hours to extinguish the fire. At that time, Mr. Gui Yueting, a famous big player in the capital, heard about it, and spent 200 taels of silver to buy 'Crab Shell Green' from my grandfather. This Gui Sanye ancestor is a big official, with a waist card, you can enter and exit the Forbidden City at any time, this 'crab shell green' let him resell to Lafayette, Lafayette is overjoyed, and the decree is rewarded with two hundred taels of gold, you see, a cricket, stunned is worth two hundred taels of gold. ”

Inukai Heisai asked bluntly: "You don't have to say so much, just tell me how much you plan to sell these two crickets." ”

"Well, you've been talking nonsense for a long time? I said that you are a layman and really squeezed you, don't worry about what the price is, I haven't finished talking yet. For example, you can't help but mention the cricket jar, for example, your dog is a person with status, so you have to live in a good house, no matter what, you have to live in a three-entry house, otherwise you can't afford to lose that face. The same is true for crickets, the best crickets are hard to find, and it takes a hundred years to produce one, can we wronged it? Crickets have the particularity of crickets, and they have to be kept in a jar before winter, and after winter, it should move and live in a gourd. Let's talk about the jar first, China's cricket jar is very particular, and there are famous producers in the past dynasties, leaving a lot of heirlooms. For example, the drunken tea idiot made in the year of Xuande in the Ming Dynasty imitated Song Jia's treasure cricket jar, and the master of Qingzheng Zhai made colored porcelain bamboo chrysanthemum cricket jar, etc., of course, these are priceless antiques, I can't afford to play. Look at my jar, this is called a mud jar, which is made of mud and mud, and then fired in a kiln. Look at the bottom of this jar, engraved with Zhao Ziyu's name, Zhao Ziyu is the master of making Cheng mud pots, at the beginning of the Republic of China, a Zhao Ziyu's Cheng mud pots are worth 180 yuan Yuan Datou, you want to find a Zhao Ziyu's cricket jar is more difficult, why? Because Zhao Ziyu is famous for making Cheng mud pots, he rarely makes cans, and occasionally makes a few plays on a whim, which is unbelievable, and his cricket jars are very rare, so they are precious......"

Inuyang Pingzhai smiled: "How can you prove that this is Zhao Ziyu's genuine product?" As far as I know, you Chinese are very good at counterfeiting, and your cans shouldn't be imitations, right? ”

Bai Lianqi's face did not change and said: "You are to the point, the dog breeds Jun worthy of being a Chinese expert, you are right, there are many fakes in China's antique shops, the key is that there is no foolproof identification method, and no matter how experienced connoisseurs will inevitably have a time to wander." For now, the most effective way to identify this artifact is to check the origin of this antiquity. Generally speaking, most of the family heirlooms are genuine. For example, Wen Zhengming is friends with your ancestors, and the paintings he gave to your ancestors have been passed down from generation to generation, and they have not left your house for hundreds of years, so there should be no fake, can you say that the Qianmen building is fake? It hasn't moved since the day it was built, and it can't fake it if you want to. In our China, anything may be fake, but the family tree is not easy to fake, you want to be stunned to say that you are a descendant of Li Shimin, then I'm sorry, you take the family tree to see, Li Shimin has several sons, how many grandchildren, which house and which branch went, the above are all remembered clearly, I really don't believe that you can also go to visit, the descendants of the Li family are not only you, is it fake, a question will be exposed. Therefore, the origin of an antiquity is very important. Let's just say that I am Bai Lianqi, don't look at the current appearance is a bit back, but we are definitely children of the family, this can't be fake, I think my ancestor was the first-class guard of Kangxi Ye back then, you inquire, who dares to wear a sword in front of the emperor? That's the sin of the Yi clan, but my old man can carry a waist knife and dangle in front of the emperor, which is approved by the emperor, called 'saber guard', and no one is red. In Daoguangnian, the ancestors of my family worshiped the general soldiers guarding Juyong Pass, and the official rank was equivalent to the rank of lieutenant general of your imperial army. You should understand, where did my Bai Lianqi come from, my family background is here, I think that my family made silver back then, it was like pouring water outside, and the antiques, calligraphy and paintings stored at home were enough to open a museum, not to mention a Zhao Ziyu's cricket jar, and even Yang Guifei's socks left in Ma Weipo still have one. ”

Inukai Heisai nodded and said, "Oh, I see, please go on, what else do you have to collect?" ”

Bai Lianqi took out a gourd from his arms and said: "I said just now, crickets should be put into the gourd to raise in winter, and the emphasis is on listening to the crickets after the winter solstice, and you can also carry the gourd in your arms and take it with you when you go out." Let's put it this way, living in a jar is like living in a tent in the summer, and then moving to the house in the winter, this is the gourd. You see, my gourd is made by the famous 'Sanhe Liu', this person is a native of Sanhe County during the Xianfeng period, and the gourd he made is not only beautiful, but also the chirping sound of the cricket in it is particularly pleasant. This gourd has three characteristics: first of all, the height is suitable, the gourd waist is slender, tall and narrow, and the length is commensurate; The second is that the gourd skin is old, the inside is bran, and the appearance can not be worn through with a cloth plate, like porcelain, the more the plate is more and more oily, and it is called 'skin porcelain, the bran in the heart......';

Inuyang Pingzhai was really tired when he heard this, he waved his hand and said slightly tiredly: "Bai Jun, I calculated the time, just now you talked about it for an hour and twenty minutes, I was a little tired from listening, and it was really difficult for you, to put it simply, you have four things to sell to me, a 'black tooth green hemp head', a 'crab shell green', a Zhao Ziyu's cricket jar, and a 'Sanhe Liu' gourd." Let's be simpler, you say, how much do these four things add up? ”

"The dog breeds fast and fast-talking, I can't be a little foot girl in Bai Lianqi, of course I have to be happy, it's just ...... After all, some things are handed down from ancestors, and if they don't sell their wives and children in this year, they can't ......."

Inukai Heisai half-jokingly said, "I'm afraid your wife and children have already been sold, right?" Bai Jun, why do you Chinese always talk in circles? Can you have some fun? I repeat, please make an offer. ”

Bai Lianqi gritted his teeth and stretched out two fingers and said: "Two hundred, I only recognize Yuan Datou, and I won't sell one less child." ”

The dog didn't say anything, but just stretched out a finger.

"A hundred? No, no, dog breeding, absolutely not, I said, I won't sell one less child. ”

Inukai Heisai spoke: "You are mistaken, I am not talking about a hundred, but a dollar." ”

Bai Lianqi jumped up: "What, what, you're not joking, are you?" Dog breeder, then I can only think that you lack sincerity in this business, according to our Beiping words, you are making fun of Bai. ”

Inuyang Pingzhai put a piece of silver yuan on the table, smiled and said: "Bai Jun, I also have a gradual understanding of Beiping folk customs, we haven't known each other for a year or two, you can use something to fool me before, in your Beiping dialect, it's called fooling foreign devils, right?" But you ignore one point, I, a foreign devil, am a foreign devil who is willing to learn, otherwise would I dare to call me a China expert? As far as I know, your ancestors were military attachΓ©s and have some property, but now that you are so depressed that you live on slaves, how can you still have good things in your hands? Frankly, your knowledge is true, but your goods are fake, I'm not wrong, right? The reason why I paid you a dollar is because you talked about a lot of knowledge that I am interested in, this is the remuneration I paid you for the lecture, if you want, I also want to listen to the folk customs of Beiping introduced by Bai Jun in the future, by the way, I hope what I just said did not offend you. Inuyo Heisai stood up and bowed deeply to Bai Lianqi.

Bai Lianqi was stunned there, unable to say a word, this devil was playing with him for a long time, but he himself was dry and passionate, Γ—fuck! Bai Lianqi wanted to scold, but his lips moved but he didn't dare to scold. He wanted to defend his dignity by turning around and leaving, but eventually picked up the silver dollar. Anyway, although a dollar is not much, but the money earned by pulling a car for several days, how much is face worth a pound this year, who has a grudge against money? Bai Lianqi did not hesitate to put the silver yuan in his pocket.

According to intelligence, Wang Kemin went to No. 20 Cinder Hutong every Tuesday to hold a joint meeting with Seiichi Kita, director of the liaison department of the Japanese Dispatch Army in North China. On the way, Wang Kemin's car was in front, with two personal guards with pistols in addition to the driver, and a guard car with four armed guards in the back. When he was about to reach his destination, Wang Kemin's car slowed down, and the police car behind accelerated past the car in front. The guards came down to set up first, and then Wang Kemin got out of the car and entered the door. Chen Gongshu and Xu Jinge agreed that the best time to act in Cinder Hutong was the best time, and besides, there would be no more opportunities to act. The biggest advantage of this place is that it is close to the mouth of the alley, and out of the alley is the street that extends in all directions, and it is very convenient to come and go.

The "Pinghan Railway Club" was just a place of recreation, with only two unarmed policemen standing guard at the door, and Xu Jinge thought that there must be enough firepower to deal with Wang Kemin's entourage. In addition, diagonally opposite the 20th, less than 100 meters away, is the Japanese gendarmerie in the eastern city, and if the gunshots are fired, they will be alarmed, and how to prevent them from moving is the key to this operation. After surveying the terrain and studying tactics, Chen Gongshu and Xu Jinge formulated a plan to assassinate Wang Kemin: Chen Gongshu commanded the overall situation, and Xu Jinge was responsible for carrying out the assassination operation on the spot. The six operatives were divided into two groups, with three people from the first group as the main body, and concentrated their firepower on the target - Wang Kemin; The three members of the second group were dedicated to covering the security of the first group and restraining the counterattack of the opposing guards as much as possible; Commander-in-Chief Chen Gongshu will be able to adapt to the situation at the scene as far as the eye can see, so as to advance and retreat. Each operative was equipped with a bicycle and could flee quickly after the operation to prevent capture by the Japanese military police, and was armed with a German-made barge gun with a 20-round magazine, two for each operative.

The killers are ready for everything and just wait for Tuesday to act.

Xu Jinge used this time to study Wang Kemin's background material: Wang Kemin, born in Guangdong, is Shulu. In the 29th year of Guangxu, he went to Japan to study and served as a counselor of the Qing Dynasty's legation in Japan. After returning to China in 1907, he successively served as a direct subordinate negotiator. After the Xinhai Revolution, he served as the Chinese general manager of the Sino-French Industrial Bank, the president of the Bank of China, and the chief financial officer of Beiyang for a time. Since 1932, he has successively served as the political councilor of the Northeast of Nanjing and the member of the Beiping political affairs committee. In 1935, he was appointed as a member of the Political Affairs Committee of the Jicha Procuratorate. After the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, he committed treason and defected to the enemy. He successively served as the chairman of the Provisional Administrative Committee of the puppet Republic of China, the chairman of the traitor organization "Xinmin Association", and the chairman of the Joint Committee of the puppet Republic of China.

Wang Kemin's "Provisional ** of the Republic of China" was established on December 14, 1937 by a group of traitors supported by the Japanese army after the occupation of Beiping, and the office was located in the northwest of Zhongnanhai.

After the fall of Pingjin and other cities, the Japanese North China Front had a total of eight divisions and regiments, with a total strength of more than 370,000 troops.

Wang Kemin is a typical pragmatist, as long as it is profitable, he doesn't care much about reputation, he knows that the Japanese have found Cao Kun, Jin Yunpeng, Wu Peifu, Cao Rulin and other military and political celebrities, but these people are unwilling to bear the infamy of a traitor, and they don't want to come out, but Wang Kemin doesn't care about reputation, he takes the position of power very seriously, as long as the Japanese fully support him to set up a new **, he will return the favor and serve the Japanese occupation army.

Xu Jinge found from the information that Wang Kemin did not break his promise, he signed a treaty with the Japanese Empire, gave the coal resources in North China to the Japanese for mining, and also ordered the provinces in North China to work together to collect and transport a large amount of grain and cotton needed by the Japanese Empire to Japan.

Xu Jinge's "stubbornness" is well known within the Military Control Bureau, and there are conditions for him to carry out the assassination operation - that is, there must be a legitimate reason for the killing, otherwise he refuses to carry out the murder mission. But Chen Gongshu and others don't need a reason to kill people, as long as Boss Dai speaks, they can kill anyone. Xu Jinge's "stubbornness" once made his colleagues in the Military Command Bureau complain, believing that he was not loyal enough to the party-state and the leader, and that soldiers should regard obedience to orders as their duty and should not judge their own likes and dislikes as the standard. The strange thing is that Boss Dai, who is full of words in the Military Command Bureau, actually opened up to Xu Jinge and acquiesced in his "stubbornness", if it was someone else, Dai Li would have ordered the door to be cleaned up, he is so tolerant of Xu Jinge, there is only one reason, he likes Xu Jinge and thinks he is a talented person.

Xu Jinge analyzed Wang Kemin's background materials and came to his own conclusion: For such a desperate traitor, Xu Jinge thinks that it is not enough to kill him ten times.

The only thing that made Xu Jinge hesitate was Yang Qiuping, she was not a professional agent, she was just an ordinary female student before the war, after the fall of Beiping, she joined the "anti-Japanese hoe gang" led by Zeng Che, and only received short-term training in the use of firearms, and other professional knowledge was almost zero. A few days ago, the "dark horse" instructed Xu Jinge to pretend to be the owner of the "Nanshantang" pharmacy, and Zeng Che was responsible for solving the problem of Xu Jinge's "wife". According to the regulations, Yang Qiuping is a member of the action group, led by Xu Jinge, this action group is going to carry out the assassination mission, Yang Qiuping should participate, but Xu Jinge has never felt so embarrassed since joining the military command, he really does not want Yang Qiuping to participate in this operation, as a professional, he knows the danger of this operation, a careless move will bring about death, is it too cruel to let a young girl like Yang Qiuping participate in the assassination operation?

Xu Jinge expressed his concerns to Chen Gongshu, but Chen Gongshu asked coldly: "Brother Jinge, is it a hero who sleeps with a beautiful woman every day?" ”

Xu Jinge replied with some embarrassment: "That's not it, she is a woman with no professional training, I'm afraid she will be held back in the action, this is what I'm most worried about, can I not let her participate?" ”

"I'm afraid not, you know, we have a limited number of people, a turnip and a pit. Besides, resisting Japan and saving the country is a matter for every Chinese, and men and women are no exception. Chairman Chiang said that there is no distinction between east, west, north and south, and people regardless of men, women, old and young, all have the responsibility of defending the land and resisting the war. Brother Jin Ge, you are an old comrade of the military commander, how can you be in love with your children at a critical moment? ”

Xu Jinge felt that Chen Gongshu's words were difficult to refute, and he was speechless for a while: "This ......"

Chen Gongshu said: "Brother Jin Ge, with all due respect, you have changed a little, in my impression, you are a cold-blooded killer who is loyal to your duties, and you take the love between men and women very lightly, what happened this time, let that little girl hook her soul away?" Do you really take her as a wife? ”

Xu Jinge grabbed Chen Gongshu's collar, looked him in the eyes, and said fiercely: "The surname Chen, Yang Qiuping is my wife, if you say her in this tone again, I will break your neck, you remember!" ”

Chen Gongshu was expressionless: "Okay, I won't say it anymore, but Yang Qiuping must participate in the operation, I am the person in charge of this operation, and I have the final say." ”

Wen San'er has been in a good mood recently, because the "Tonghe" car dealership has almost become a casino. Since the white flag came, Sun Erye has become more and more up-to-date, he has learned to play, and the more he plays, the more addicted he becomes, almost to the extent that he does not do his job, it is said that if the boss is not doing his job, it will be a festival for the guys to carnival, no one is staring at you all day long, this is not a good thing? Wen San'er wished that the second master Sun would go to the kiln when he saw Tian'er, and he would live in Bada Hutong at night and not come back.

Sun Erye not only learned to raise birds and insects, but also raised goldfish, and there were eight large fish tanks in the yard, and goldfish were cultivated in tanks according to species. No matter who Sun Er Ye met, he proudly introduced his goldfish to the other party, which was the "lion head", which was the "blister eye", and which was the "pearl" or "red head". Because there were too many fish tanks, the yard could not be placed, and the carport took up a part, so the driver who received the car late had no place to put the car, so he had to lock the foreign cars together with iron chains and put them outside the yard for the night.

There is a boundary called Gaobeidian near the Pingjin Gate of the Jingdong Tonghui River, where the people live by raising fish, not only raising goldfish, but also raising silver carp, crucian carp, carp, grass and other fish, for the people of the capital to eat, offer Buddha or release. Sun Erye has been a little empty recently and ran to Gaobeidian, as long as there are new goldfish varieties, he must buy them, and it is good to buy them if he doesn't have them, those colorful goldfish make Sun Erye unrelenting. Wen San'er complimented and encouraged Sun Erye's new hobbies, because Sun Erye always took his car every time he went to Gaobeidian. Nanheng Street in Nancheng is forty miles away from Jingdong Gaobeidian, and it is a whole day to go back and forth, which is definitely a fat difference compared to pulling a seat on the street. In the past, Second Master Sun had money but didn't know how to play, but now that he is finally on the road, shouldn't Wen San'er encourage him?

On the way to Gaobeidian, Wen San'er's mouth was not idle: "Second master, two days ago, I met a few guys from the 'auspicious' car dealership in the West Fourth Archway, and they inquired about you as soon as they met. ”

When Second Master Sun heard this, he pricked up his ears: "Yes, what do you want to ask me?" ”

"Saying that your boss Second Master Sun recently got a nickname, have you heard of it? It's called 'Goldfish Sun', although it was a little late to debut, but as soon as it played, it couldn't be contained, and it became famous in Sijiu City all of a sudden. I said that this spread so fast, how come even you know about it? They say dare to be affectionate, who doesn't know in Sijiu City? Your second master Sun is a big player, what is it like to play, don't look at it as old Beijing, it really doesn't look worse than the son and brother in the mansion. ”

Second Master Sun listened comfortably, but he still had to be modest: "No, no, I am still far from the second master, that is, I have just entered the Tao." ”

"Second master, I don't like to hear you say that, don't underestimate a play word, there is a lot of knowledge in this, if you don't understand it, it's blind play, you can't play famous for a lifetime, isn't there a saying that Wu Dalang plays with night owls - who plays with what birds? That's right, just say me, I also like to raise birds, but what do you like to do, you have to have that ability, don't you? I'll tell you the truth, I actually had a bird a few years ago......"

"Hey, you've ever had birds, too? I haven't heard you mention it, what kind of bird do you have? ”

"Hey, I'm panicked when I say it, the lark thrush is a precious bird, I don't even dare to think about it, I raised a 'Lao Xizi', and I can't afford to buy a bird cage, so I can only get a wooden stick to let it stand, in order to tame it I have a lot of effort, but this thing will not do anything other than eat melon seeds. Once when I was not at home, the 'old Xizi' didn't stand firm, and fell off the stick, and the leash hung on it like this, and the 'old Xizi' didn't turn over for a long time, so he hanged himself. ”

Second Master Sun laughed loudly: "Wen San'er, Wen San'er, you can't even raise a fucking 'old Xizi', and you dare to raise birds?" That's not something you're playing, you kid, you're a cart puller. ”

"That is, I don't have much in my life, and I also pull the goods wherever I go, unlike the second master, you can play anything brilliantly, just say raise goldfish, you have only been playing for a few days? Well, the nickname is gone, 'Goldfish Sun', is this a joke? Second master, my Wen San'er is considered to have met a real person, don't you see? 'Tonghe' car dealer dozens of people, or I am close to the second master, yes, nothing to say, the second master will be useful in the future where my Wen San'er will be, you just care, you remember, my Wen San'er died is the ghost of the 'Tonghe' car dealership. ”

"Well, do a good job Wen San'er, I won't treat you badly, second master."

Wen San'er was secretly funny in his heart, fuck you, the old immortal thing, you gasped when you coughed, what the fuck "Goldfish Sun"? It is the grandson of a goldfish. Wen San'er glanced at Second Master Sun with a wicked smile, and hummed a little song vaguely in his mouth:

The surnamed Sun went home and asked his father,

Why don't you have the surname Li Zhangwang,

Standing two generations shorter before men,

The surname is also stronger than the surname Sun.

……

Second Master Sun, who was leaning on the seat of the car and closing his eyes, suddenly opened his eyes: "Wen San'er, what the hell are you humming?" ”

Wen San'er was taken aback: "Second master, I'm humming the opera, "Donghuangzhuang", it's about taking Kang Xiaoba, have you heard of it?" ”

"Don't hum, it's like a grass donkey barking trough, the second master I'm going to squint for a while......"

Xu Jinge and Yang Qiuping hugged each other on the bed, Yang Qiuping gently stroked Xu Jinge's chest with her hand and asked in a whisper: "Jin Ge, you have something on your mind, can you tell me?" ”

"It's fine."

"You have, tell me." Yang Qiuping stubbornly demanded.

"I'm thinking about tomorrow's action, and I don't know who will survive." Xu Jinge's eyes looked at the ceiling.

Yang Qiuping said softly: "We have all sworn that this is our own choice, and whether we can survive this war or not is only by the will of God." ”

"Qiu Ping, are you afraid?"

"As I said, I'm not afraid of death, but I'm afraid of being captured, so once there is a possibility of being captured, I can only die."

Xu Jinge sat up suddenly: "Qiu Ping, I think about it, don't go tomorrow, leave Beiping for me immediately, go to the rear, I heard that the students of Peking University, Tsinghua University, and Nankai have evacuated Changsha and moved to Kunming, and the government has decided to establish Southwest Associated University, Qiu Ping, you go to Yunnan to find them and continue to complete your studies, and I am responsible for the affairs here." ”

Yang Qiuping shook her head: "No, I will never leave, this is an escape, and I will be disciplined, besides, I don't want to be a coward." ”

Xu Jinge roared: "But you are a woman, it shouldn't be your job to fight and kill, Chinese men are not dead yet, you let me go, I will bear whatever happens." ”

Yang Qiuping hugged Xu Jinge and kissed her gently: "Jinge, who do you guess I met yesterday?" Luo Mengyun, remember? The girl I was raising money with when we first met. ”

Xu Jinge exhaled and nodded: "Remember, that girl seems to have a better temper than you and speaks softly." ”

"After the Japanese entered the city, I lost contact with my classmates at Yan University, yesterday I met Luo Mengyun in Zhushikou, I chatted with her for a while, I asked her what she is doing now, Luo Mengyun said, Qiuping, I don't ask you what you are doing, you don't ask me, in short, let's not forget that we are Chinese." Jin Ge, I guess Luo Mengyun must have participated in the underground resistance organization, as for who it is, I can't guess. She chatted with me for only a few minutes and then left in a hurry, and when I got home, I thought about it a lot. Jingo, do you know what I was thinking? ”

"It's probably some very poetic ideas, imagining the anti-Japanese salvation is more romantic, isn't it?" Xu Jinge said sarcastically.

"That's what I thought before, how many female classmates of Yan University are not romantic? Luo Mengyun is more romantic than me, but we all understand the cruelty of war now, when Luo Mengyun talked to me yesterday, it seemed to be careless, but in fact, his eyes have been observing the movements around him. When we talk about the teachers and students of Yan University, and about the president, Mr. Situ Leiden, Luo Mengyun thinks that the president still decided to keep Yan University in Beiping after the fall of Beiping, which is a wrong decision. I retorted to her that the highest ideal of Yanda is to serve the Chinese people, not simply to serve a certain political force or a certain ****. President Stuart Layden once said, 'There are many basic relationships in human life, and political relations are only one of them. Jesus did not manage to escape from the rule of the ancient Romans, but continued his cause and mission in the midst of oppression'. I believe that Yanda must persevere in the occupied areas and provide education opportunities for the people in the occupied areas. ”

Xu Jinge listened attentively, and he found that these female college students were educated and thoughtful people after all, and the issues they were arguing about had not been thought about before.

"Oh, what did Luo Mengyun say?"

She believed that the only reason for Yan Da to stay in Beiping should be to resist the Japanese occupation, and she told me that many underground resistance groups in Beiping were active in Yan teachers and students, and some of them became leaders of the resistance groups. Luo Mengyun also persuaded me to participate in some anti-Japanese work, she said, although we cannot pick up guns and fight directly with the invaders, we use our knowledge to propagate anti-Japanese resistance and call on people to resist the Japanese occupation forces. I didn't say anything, thinking to myself, who said that a woman can't pick up a gun and fight? I have a loaded pistol in my bag, how many of the female classmates at Yan University are like me who directly participate in the battle? Jingo, do you understand what I'm talking about? Peiping is fighting, my classmates are fighting, how can I quit fighting at such a time? Yang Qiuping stroked Xu Jinge and muttered.

Xu Jinge sighed: "Alas, you female students, always overestimate yourself, in fact, in this kind of assassination operation, women can't help at all, and if you don't make trouble, you will add to the chaos, what you need to do this kind of work is outlaws, people like me and Chen Gongshu, Qiuping, you listen to me, don't go tomorrow." ”

"Jin Ge, you tell me what is in your heart, why don't you want me to participate in tomorrow's operation? Do you really think that women will cause trouble for you, or do you feel sorry for me and don't want me to take risks? ”

"I ...... It's ...... I feel sorry for you," Xu Jinge admitted with difficulty.

"Do you love me?"

"I love you!" Xu Jinge felt that his face was feverish, he had never said such a thing, and he felt awkward.

Yang Qiuping's lips warmly greeted him, blocking back what Xu Jinge was about to say, and in the frenzied kiss, Xu Jinge felt that his body was slowly sinking into the water, a feeling of suffocation......

Yang Qiuping kissed Xu Jinge wildly and said incoherently: "Brother Jinge, I want you, I want you, please love me again, I will give you everything, you come......"

Chen Gongshu sat at the bean juice stall and drank bean juice, but his eyes were fixed on the east exit of Cinder Hutong opposite. He saw Xu Jinge standing at the door of a pasting shop outside the east exit of Cinder Hutong, pretending to watch calligraphy and paintings, and his two men slowly walked towards the east exit. Xu Jinge is wearing a red fox fur robe today, black velvet Khmer boots, and a thick coat on the outside, which is inlaid with an otter skin collar and a sea dragon skin hat on his head, looking like a full shopkeeper.

Mao Wanli and Yang Qiuping from the second group pushed their bicycles into Goldfish Hutong. According to the plan, Mao Wanli and Yang Qiuping will walk from the west exit of Cinder Hutong to the east exit.

After noon, the sun was obscured by clouds and the sky darkened. The wind gradually rose, rolling up the dust and sand.

Xu Jinge, who was standing in front of the pasting shop, felt a thick murderous aura permeating the surroundings. At 1:57 p.m., two black "Buick" sedans drove one after the other. Xu Jinge turned around steadily and carefully identified it, only to see the driver and a guard sitting in the front seat, but there were two people in the back seat. Xu Jinge recognized Wang Kemin, he had seen Wang Kemin's photos countless times, and he would never admit it, and the person around Wang Kemin was neither like a guard nor a secretary, who was this person? Xu Jinge didn't have time to think about it, the two cars had already driven to the east exit of Cinder Hutong and began to slow down.

Chen Gongshu, who was sitting at the bean juice stand, put down the spoon in his hand and stood up suddenly, Xu Jinge knew that Chen Gongshu had issued a "preparatory order". In the blink of an eye, the first car turned and drove into the east exit of Cinder Hutong, and the second car was about to turn the steering wheel and drive into the alley.

Xu Jinge lifted his leather robe and pulled out two shell guns, raised the gun with both hands and pulled the trigger, the gunfire rang out like a bean, and the bullet hit the windshield of the car like splashing water...... At the same time, the other killers began to shoot in bursts. In an instant, the gunfire was loud, and the dense rain of bullets swept towards the target like a violent wind, and the two action groups attacked their own targets according to the prior plan, while the surrounding people fled in all directions in fear, and the order was chaotic for a while.

According to the plan, Xu Jinge and Yang Qiuping did not belong to an action group, Xu Jinge's group was responsible for the main attack, Mao Wanli and Yang Qiuping's group was responsible for covering, and the three people in the main attack group each held two shell guns with 20-round magazines to fire in a row, and they could evacuate after emptying the magazines, and the covering group was responsible for the rest of the matter. Before the operation, Xu Jinge and Chen Gongshu calculated that the 120 rounds of bullets in the first round of attacks were enough to kill Wang Kemin and the guards several times under dozens of seconds of close fire.

The sound of gunfire mixed with the sound of the wind lasted for about twenty or thirty seconds. The gunfire suddenly stopped. The surroundings were so quiet that there was not even a sound, everything in heaven and earth seemed to be suddenly still, Xu Jinge saw his two killers throw off the shell guns and ride their bicycles calmly towards the south, it seems that the task of the first group has been completed, and the rest of the matter is handled by Chen Gongshu and the covering team. Xu Jinge threw away the gun in his hand, got on his bicycle and turned into Goldfish Hutong and drove towards the west exit of the Hutong...... Oh no, Qiu Ping, they're in trouble! A thought flashed through Xu Jinge's mind, he stopped the car suddenly, and his hands habitually touched his waist, but he felt empty, and his two guns had been thrown away.

A group of Japanese military policemen dressed in yellow uniforms rushed to the place where the guns were fired, and Xu Jinge punched the telephone pole and reluctantly rode his bicycle......

Mao Wanli's group as cover was not very lucky, when Xu Jinge's group attacked Wang Kemin's car with all his might, the four guards of the second car jumped out of the car with great agility and pulled out their guns to shoot back, Mao Wanli and others did not allow them to fire and pulled the trigger, the four guards were beaten under the fierce fire attack and fell to the ground, at this time Chen Gongshu not far away sent an evacuation signal, Mao Wanli picked up the bicycle leaning against the wall, jumped on the car with a leap, and lost his shadow after a few pedals...... Yang Qiuping had just pushed the bicycle when another shot rang out from behind, and she only felt a numb leg and involuntarily fell down. The shot was fired by a badly wounded guard, who fired the last shot before he could breathe.

Yang Qiuping struggled to stand up, but no matter how hard she tried, it was to no avail, and at this time, the Japanese gendarmerie diagonally opposite No. 20 had already reacted, and a group of Japanese gendarmes rushed out of the gate with guns......

According to the plan, Chen Gongshu should be the last to evacuate, as the commander of this operation, he did not participate in the attack, his duty is to control the overall situation, and command all personnel to retreat safely. Another reason that could not be put on the table was to ensure that no one of the operatives was captured, otherwise it would pose a great danger to the sleepers in Pingjin and Tianjin. Chen Gongshu was a realist, and he never believed that human will could resist torture, especially the execution chamber of the Japanese gendarmerie, where people had only one thought - only to die quickly, and no other thoughts. The question is, how could those murderous Japanese gendarmes let you die?

"No, you can't let a woman mess up the overall situation, there are only two choices for assassins, success or death, there is no third choice, this woman is finished, she can't go, she must die......" Chen Gongshu made up his mind when he thought of this, he took out his pistol and pulled the trigger on Yang Qiuping like lightning, and only let go when he saw Yang Qiuping fall to the ground under the powerful impact of the bullet, he got on his bicycle and left calmly......

Yang Qiuping did not die, Chen Gongshu's shot only hit her left shoulder, because it was a pistol fired and the distance was slightly farther, the bullet did not cause penetrating injuries, the bullet was stuck between the shoulder blades of the back after shooting into the body, the consequences were even worse, according to the theory of traumatic ballistics, Yang Qiuping's body absorbed all the huge kinetic energy brought by the warhead, and the resulting shock wave would injure other organs. However, Yang Qiuping's vitality is very tenacious, the second injury only made her coma for a short period of dozens of seconds, and then she woke up in severe pain, she found that she had lost blood very seriously, her whole body was soaked in blood, and blood continued to gush out of the wounds on her legs and shoulders......

Yang Qiuping's mind was blank, she never expected that Chen Gongshu, as the person in charge of the operation, would not only not carry out rescue after being injured, but instead shot herself to achieve the purpose of extinguishing the mouth. Yang Qiuping is not a professional agent, she is just a young student, with the purpose of resisting Japan and saving the country as her own mission to participate in the underground resistance movement, when Xu Jinge told her that the Military Command Bureau has officially included her in the establishment, Yang Qiuping was very excited, this is a mysterious and adventurous agency, its entire meaning of existence is to maintain national security, joining this department means directly serving their country, what a proud job, she swore under the national flag, He is willing to go to the trouble and even sacrifice his life for the interests of the country.

And the reality in front of her shattered all Yang Qiuping's beautiful imagination, the cold reality told her that this organ that represents national interests and maintains national security abandoned itself at a critical moment, Chen Gongshu and others are typical realists, they follow the concept of just the rules of the agent, this kind of behavior does not pay attention to human nature, there is no warmth, only rock-like hardness and coldness, you are not a flesh-and-blood person, just a part on this machine, and the owner of the machine can replace this part at any time.

Yang Qiuping struggled to climb behind the telephone pole in the corner, leaned on the telephone pole and took out the "horse" brand oar, she gasped violently and thought, I love this country, but the country has abandoned me, but I will never surrender...... Yang Qiuping aimed at the approaching Japanese military police, pulled the trigger violently, and ...... "Smack!" "Smack!" Two Japanese gendarmes were hit in the chest by bullets and fell on their backs, and the rest of the Japanese gendarmes hurriedly lay down, apparently trying to catch them alive, but did not rush back fire. Yang Qiuping looked up to the sky and laughed: "Japanese devils, are you afraid?" Come on, come and get me! ”

There was a deathly silence all around......

The Japanese gendarmes slowly crawled forward using various obstacles on the ground, and they were very patient, and the woman would eventually fall unconscious from blood loss, and it would not be too long.

Yang Qiuping felt dizzy, her consciousness was gradually blurring, the pain of the wound had disappeared, and she felt that her body had become as light as a feather, floating towards the sky...... This feeling is so good, I was in bed with Brother Jin Ge last night, oh, Brother Jin Ge, my love, we will see you in the next life...... Yang Qiuping raised the pistol with difficulty, put the muzzle of the gun on her temple and pulled the trigger, the pistol firing pin hit the bullet primer and made a slight sound, but the bullet did not whistle out - the bullet was dumb, Yang Qiuping's hand hanging down weakly, and a rose-colored glow appeared in front of her eyes......
