CHAPTER XVII

Xu Jinge has been very busy recently, and after the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, he has not stopped, first screening the identity of Japanese overseas Chinese, so as to find valuable intelligence personnel from Japanese overseas Chinese. Xu Jinge believes that although the war against Japan is over, from a geopolitical point of view, will war break out between China and Japan again in the next few decades? This is unpredictable, and since you are guarding a dangerous neighbor, you have to be on guard at all times, which is the first thing that any intelligence service should consider. Although Japan has now been defeated in the war, its intelligence network, which has been operating in China for decades, will not disappear because of the end of the war, and it may temporarily enter a state of "hibernation", and once the international situation changes, this poisonous snake will be revived. What Xu Jinge has to do is to find this poisonous snake and make it disappear completely.

The biggest headache for Xu Jinge is the veteran spy Inuyang Pingzhai, who has an attitude that a dead pig is not afraid of boiling water, and does not intend to cooperate at all, but repeatedly asks Xu Jinge for the opportunity to cut himself. Xu Jinge believes that if he really returns the *** of the dog to Pingzhai, this bastard will not hesitate to commit suicide by seppuku, he thinks that he is a samurai, and only by committing suicide by seppuku is in line with his identity, and he will not consider other ways of death for the time being.

Xu Jinge has no interest in the life of the dog Pingzhai, what he needs is clues and intelligence. The problem is that Xu Jinge's time is limited, and officials from the Japanese Aliens Repatriation Commission have already made representations to Xu Jinge on several occasions that if there is conclusive evidence of Inukai Heisai's identity as a spy, he can be arrested immediately, and if there is no evidence, he should be repatriated as a Japanese national. It is necessary to be cautious in this matter, because the repatriation of Japanese nationals is carried out under the supervision of Allied observers and the international community, and a careless move will cause a chain reaction in international public opinion. Xu Jinge sneered privately, if I have evidence, can I wait until now? Even if there is no evidence, he is a 100% spy, and I would rather kill him in private than let him escape.

The outbreak of the civil war between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party temporarily halted Xu Jinge's work, before he estimated that the civil war was inevitable, but he did not expect the war to come so quickly, on August 15, Japan surrendered, at the end of October, the Kuomintang and the Communist Party fought in Shanhaiguan, at the same time, the Central Plains, Hebei, Shandong, northern Jiangsu and other places of the war was about to break out, during this period by the Americans as peacemakers, the two sides talked about fighting, fighting and talking, the more they talked about the war, the bigger the war, the civil war finally broke out. According to the instructions of the upper peak, Xu Jinge's work should focus on the investigation of the underground organization of the Communist Party, and the investigation of the Japanese spy network had to be put aside for the first time.

According to the telecommunications direction finding report of the technical department of the Secret Bureau, there is an underground communist radio station in the border area between Nancheng and Xicheng, and the time of sending and receiving telegrams is irregular, and the new technology of sending and receiving telegrams quickly has been adopted. The brothers of the search team of the Beiping Station of the Secret Bureau swooped around in the area for two months like headless flies, but found nothing, and the reprimand from the upper peak and the complaints of the brothers below made Xu Jinge anxious.

Xu Jinge came out of the home of an old chief who lived in Taiji Factory and walked south along Qianmen Street in a jeep. There were a lot of people on the street, and the driver didn't have much effect by honking all the way, so he had to reduce his speed to 20 kilometers per hour. The jeep slowly squirmed in the crowd, and suddenly there was a shrill car horn from behind, and an open-top US jeep "whirred" passed by, and Xu Jinge saw that the driver of the car was a US lieutenant, judging from his uniform logo, a soldier of the 1st Division of the US Marine Corps.

Xu Jinge's driver was shocked and sweated: "Obediently, this foreign devil really dares to say hello, and he dares to drive a flying car in this kind of place?" ”

Xu Jinge frowned and ordered: "Ignore him, let's drive slowly, I think something is going to happen to that American......"

Before Xu Jinge's words fell, he heard a loud bang in front of him, and the American jeep crashed into a rickshaw, and the rickshaw driver and passengers flew out of the way......

Xu Jinge immediately ordered the driver to stop and ran to the accident site with the driver, only to see the injured two people lying on the ground covered in blood and already unconscious, and the American lieutenant who caused the accident also got out of the car, not knowing what to do. Xu Jinge decisively ordered the driver to take the wounded to the hospital first, and he stayed to negotiate with the American lieutenant, and the police arrived as soon as the driver drove away.

Xu Jinge saw that this policeman was actually Fang Jinglin. The two exchanged glances, so they tacitly pretended not to know each other and saluted each other officially.

Xu Jinge thought to himself that he would not let the American officer who caused the accident find out that he knew Fang Jinglin, so that he would not be caught, saying that Chinese law enforcement officers rely on human favors to do things, and in addition, he also wanted to see how Fang Jinglin would deal with the accident.

As soon as Fang Jinglin saw Xu Jinge, his heart chuckled, and he immediately became vigilant, he was now full of disgust for the people in the military command department, and they could help each other when they used to resist Japan together, after all, national interests are higher than partisan disputes. But now the situation has long changed, and the armies of the Kuomintang and the Communist Party have entered a full-scale confrontation on various battlefields across the country, and Xu Jinge has undoubtedly become his enemy.

Xu Jinge said: "Officer, I am an eyewitness to this traffic accident, I have seen everything that happened, and this American officer should be fully responsible." ”

The U.S. lieutenant had regained his composure, and he walked over and said in stiff Chinese: "Mr. Lieutenant Colonel, Mr. Officer, I am Lieutenant Tom of the 1st Marine Division, and I regret this traffic accident. ”

Fang Jinglin frowned and looked at the scene carefully, and said to the US lieutenant, "Lieutenant, do you have any explanation?" ”

The U.S. lieutenant shrugged his shoulders and opened his hands to show his innocence: "Officer, I've been honking my horn to warn pedestrians to get out of the way early, but...... Unfortunately, the driver suddenly turned into the middle of the road, and I even suspected that it was a suicidal act. Mr. Police, don't you have traffic laws in China? Why do pedestrians and rickshaws go to the middle of the road? Could you please tell me, where should the car go? It can't be a sidewalk, right? ”

Xu Jinge suppressed his anger and asked: "I just saw you driving, at a speed of 60 kilometers per hour, driving at high speed on such a crowded street, didn't you expect to die?" ”

Fang Jinglin explained: "Mr. Lieutenant, this road is a mixed road, that is, cars and pedestrians can walk, but people driving cars should slow down and slow down depending on the road conditions......"

The U.S. lieutenant said he didn't understand: "In that case, why don't your police departments set up speed limit signs at intersections?" ”

Xu Jinge asked Fang Jinglin in a low voice: "According to the usual practice, how do you deal with such a traffic accident?" ”

"The perpetrator is responsible for the cost of the injured person's treatment, compensates the injured person for financial losses, and if there is death as a result of a car accident, we will take the case to the court, and the court will prosecute the perpetrator. But...... This time, the perpetrator is an American, and I have to listen to Shangfeng's instructions on how to deal with it. Fang Jinglin deliberately pretended to be timid and afraid, and said in his heart, surnamed Xu, look at your bullshit**, you actually made such a provision.

Xu Jinge became angry: "China has Chinese laws, not people, and American allies should also be held accountable for violating Chinese laws, what kind of policeman are you?" You can do what you want. ”

"Lieutenant colonel, to tell you the truth, I personally have no right to deal with this kind of case, if I force my hand, not only will I not be able to solve the problem, but I will also ruin my job. What Fang Jinglin said is also true, there are indeed such regulations within the police department.

The U.S. lieutenant also understood what Fang Jinglin meant, and he easily threw an American-style military salute to Fang Jinglin: "Mr. Policeman, please write down my license number, your commander will negotiate with the headquarters of the 1st Marine Division in Beiping, I will patiently wait for the decision, I'm sorry, I still have a mission, can I go first?" ”

Xu Jinge sneered: "I understand, the Chinese police find your headquarters, and your commander will push the case to the US Consulate in Beiping, and your consul will adjudicate it." In short, China has no right to punish American perpetrators, this is the so-called consular jurisdiction, right? ”

The American lieutenant was also angry: "Lieutenant colonel, this doesn't seem to be within your purview, please get out of the way, I'm leaving." ”

"Lao Tzu is Chinese, if you bump into the Chinese on Chinese territory, Lao Tzu has the right to manage it, you can't go anywhere now, you have to go to the police station to make a record, sign and draw a charge in accordance with Chinese laws, and save you from admitting when you get it." Xu Jinge grabbed the American lieutenant by the collar.

The U.S. lieutenant was furious, and raised his hand in Xu Jinge's face is a punch, Xu Jinge had already prepared, he blocked with his left hand, drew an arc with his right fist, and a beautiful uppercut hit the lieutenant's left ear, and with a muffled sound, the tall U.S. lieutenant fell down like a door panel......

"Well played!" The onlookers shouted loudly, and a young man bent down to look at the lieutenant and shouted at Xu Jinge: "Sir, this foreign devil has fainted, what a kung fu." ”

Fang Jinglin smiled and said, "Lieutenant Colonel, you have made a big deal and actually hit the US allies, but it is a bit difficult to end......

Xu Jinge replied with a straight face: "Officer, I beat the person anyway, you can truthfully report it to your boss." You see what to do, right? ”

"What to do? If you don't do it, I'm afraid I'll have to beat him, this guy didn't put the Chinese in his eyes, and he was so arrogant when he caused trouble, I also saw that he owed a beating. Fang Jinglin said with a wink.

Xu Jinge smiled, he simply didn't pretend, he patted Fang Jinglin's shoulder: "Brother Jinglin, I said that you are not this kind of person." ”

"What kind of person?"

"When you see ordinary people, you stare at them, and when you see foreigners, you wagging your tail, there are many such people in your Beiping police." Xu Jinge quipped.

Fang Jinglin smiled bitterly: "You didn't curse like that, did you?" Ask the police to do this, why do you just scold the police? ”

Xu Jinge said: "If it's wrong, I'll scold it." ”

"Who dares to mess with you, you cows of the Secret Bureau? I don't have the confidence to be a policeman, and if I offend my boss, I have to lose my job, Brother Jin Ge, if I lose my errand, do you care about my food? Fang Jinglin joked, he admired Xu Jinge's character very much, this guy is really a man, he is not afraid of heaven and earth, he is a frank person, such a person really shouldn't be a military commander spy.

The American lieutenant woke up, he sat up and muttered in English: "God, how am I lying here?" ”

Xu Jinge took out his ID and said officially: "Write down my name, position and work organ, don't be afraid, I will take care of something, and I will take care of the food if you lose your errand." Now you take this guy back to the police station and deal with it according to the rules. ”

Fang Jinglin pretended to have a respectful expression: "Yes!" Sir. ”

Xu Jinge added: "I can warn you, if you don't dare to enforce the law impartially and let this guy go without permission, I will also settle accounts with you." ”

Fang Jinglin nodded again and again: "I don't dare, sir." ”

Xu Jinge dusted off his military uniform, glanced at the American lieutenant lying on the ground, and turned to leave.

Fang Jinglin sternly touched the lieutenant with his foot and ordered, "Get up, follow me!" ”

Xu Jinge's actions can be regarded as stabbing the hornet's nest and causing an uproar within the Beiping Station of the Secret Bureau. During the civil war between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, the people were in need of the help of the Americans, but Xu Jinge was disrupted. The Mayor of Peiping, Mr. He Siyuan, and the Consul General of the U.S. Consulate in China held several rounds of consultations on this matter. Mayor He was also very dissatisfied with the recent repeated violations of Chinese law by US soldiers, and he wanted to settle the matter and handle the matter in a low-key manner. Qiao Jiacai, the head of the Beiping Station of the Secret Bureau, was Xu Jinge's top boss, and he had a good personal relationship with Xu Jinge, he valued Xu Jinge's talent, and he also knew that Xu Jinge had made a lot of great contributions during the Anti-Japanese War, he called Xu Jinge to scold him, and wanted to fool the matter over, but he didn't expect the Liaison Office of the 1st Marine Division in Beiping to sue Xu Jinge to Mao Renfeng, the director of the Secret Bureau. Mao Renfeng was furious, called in person, and ordered Qiao Jiacai to severely punish the perpetrators. Qiao Jiacai had no choice but to demote Xu Jinge, and his military rank was also demoted from lieutenant colonel to major.

Xu Jinge didn't care much about demotion, and he was annoyed that because he was demoted, the pending case in his hand was also transferred to his successor. What he had feared most before finally happened, and after a hasty screening, Inukai Heisai was determined to be "Inukai Heisai's spy identity was unsubstantiated, and he was repatriated as a Japanese expatriate." Seeing this conclusion, Xu Jinge was so angry, he had such a feeling for the first time, the organization for which he had spent his whole life and blood and his life was so absurd and irresponsible. This is a major matter related to national security, and no matter who governs the country in the future, the existence of a spy network will pose a major threat to national security for a long time.

Xu Jinge found the stationmaster Qiao Jiacai and told him his worries, hoping that the stationmaster would listen to his opinions.

After graduating from the Huangpu Military Academy, Qiao Jiacai was admitted to the Department of Political Economy of the University of the People's Republic of China, and after the "918" incident, he joined the Military Administration Bureau to engage in intelligence work against Japan. It stands to reason that Qiao Jiacai has been engaged in intelligence operations against Japan for many years, especially during the fall of Beiping after the "77 Incident", he and Ma Hansan, codenamed "Dark Horse", and others are all senior intelligence officers lurking in Beiping, and they should attach no less importance to Japanese spies than Xu Jinge, but his current mind is not here. Qiao Jiacai's recent attention has been all about cracking down on the underground organization of the Communist Party in Beiping, and he has no intention of caring about anything else, and his hatred of the Communist Party is far greater than his hatred of the Japanese.

Qiao Jiacai handed Xu Jinge a cigarette with a smile, lit it for him with a lighter, and said in a heartfelt tone: "Brother Jinge, I understand your feelings, what you said is also very reasonable, to speak from the heart, why don't I want to get this case to a conclusion?" The problem is, now that our work is under the supervision of our international allies, you accuse Inukai Heisai of being a Japanese spy, well, they want you to come up with evidence. Since we can't get the evidence, we have to count him as an expatriate repatriation. Brother, it's not the time to do secret work, no matter if he has evidence or not, if you suspect him, you can make him disappear, but not now. ”

Xu Jinge frowned and said: "Sir, everyone in our line of work knows that there is no distinction between wartime and peacetime in intelligence work, and the end of one war may be the beginning of the next, why can't we look farther?" Let's just talk about the '918' incident, our opponents have been preparing for this day for decades, I remember a former Northeast Army officer told me that he was taken aback when he first saw the map of China drawn by Japan, and they had accurately mapped the topography and landforms of all regions of our country before the war, and any small remote village, where there was a well, a few wooden bridges on the small river outside the village, and a few trees by the bridges, were all clear, and even knew better than ourselves. Sir, what does it say that Japanese spies are the most terrifying and best intelligence agents in the world, who can remain silent for decades and not reveal their identities even during the Japanese occupation? In my opinion, their professionalism is top-notch, and their strategic vision is extremely far-reaching, always thinking about decades from now......"

Qiao Jiacai interrupted him: "I know these better than you, I only ask you, do you have any suggestions for this dog to raise Pingzhai?" ”

"Yes, he must not be let go. This man is an important member of the Japanese secret organization 'Black Dragon Society', and theoretically speaking, the spy network under his control is independent of any official department, and it is also the most secretive and threatening. I judge that the list of personnel of this spy network is all in the mind of Inuyo Heisai, which is the safest way for a high-ranking agent, if this person's will is strong enough, then the possibility of getting the hidden list is very small, but at the same time, we also have the initiative on the other hand......"

"Quietly let this person disappear forever, the disappearance of Inuyo Pingzhai will make his spy network become a plate of scattered sand, and the meaning of this spy network will not exist." Qiao Jiacai said thoughtfully.

"Sir, that's exactly what I thought, I'm afraid I'll have to use some unconventional means." Xu Jinge said categorically.

Qiao Jiacai closed his eyes and stopped talking, obviously, Xu Jinge's words moved him.

Xu Jinge waited silently.

Qiao Jiacai finally opened his eyes: "Brother Jin Ge, your thoughts are very interesting, and I have two pieces of advice for this: first, this case is very important, neither you nor I can get involved, and no personnel in the Secret Bureau can participate; Second, I want this person to evaporate into the air like water vapor, and as for how to evaporate, that's not a matter for me to consider, it's just my personal wish, you know? ”

"Totally understood, sir."

"Brother Jin Ge, your salary doesn't seem to be enough, right? In the future, if there is any difficulty with money, you can tell me, okay, you can go. ”

"Thank you, sir."

When Xu Jinge walked into the "Cuiyunxuan" teahouse, Wen San'er had been waiting here for a long time, he asked for a pot of "Biluochun" for the first time, as well as a few plates of melon seeds, cloud cakes and other snacks, Wen San'er had never been so extravagant, he used to drink tea and always drink "Gao Moer".

Since he has his own car, Wen San'er has a lot of work on hand, first of all, he doesn't have to hand over the car to Sun Erye. In addition, due to the improvement of the grade of foreign cars, some people with money and status are also willing to hire his car, therefore, Wen San'er's income has increased significantly, a few days ago he actually ate a roast duck in "Quanjude", this is the first time Wen San'er has grown so big into "Quanjude", and it is also the first time to eat roast duck. The roast duck, along with shredded green onions, pancakes, and sweet noodle sauce, all entered Wen San'er's stomach in less than a quarter of an hour, and after finishing the work, he drank a big bowl of duck rack soup, and Wen San'er ate it so that Wen San'er was oily and hiccuped and farted vigorously...... When he was about to go out, Wen San'er saw a few foreign coachmen squatting at the door of "Quanjude" and waiting for a seat, and at this time, Wen San'er felt a sense of satisfaction in his heart. Speaking from the heart, he knows how many bricks have been laid on the steps of the gate of "Quanjude", and how many nights when the north wind is howling, Wen San'er put his hand in the sleeve of his torn cotton jacket and curled up at the bottom of the steps to wait for a seat. Now, God finally has eyes, and we are also masters.

Xu Jinge seemed preoccupied, and after sitting down, he asked a little impatiently: "Wen San'er, are you treating me as an idler?" If there's anything to say, I don't have time to drink tea with you. ”

Wen San'er took a sip of tea and said slowly: "Master Xu, look at what you said, can't we buddies sit together if we have nothing to do?" I'm thinking about our Xu Ye. ”

Xu Jinge stared at Wen San'er suspiciously: "Lack of money again, right?" Why don't you come to me? Say, how much does it cost? ”

Wen San'er shook her head sadly: "Master Xu, why do you always think I want money?" My Wen San'er is poor and ambitious, it's really not a big deal, I just want to sit with Xu Ye. ”

"Okay, let's talk, and I'll take a break. Wen San'er, you should also become a family, you can't always wander alone, right? Xu Jinge's eyes were habitually looking around, asking absentmindedly.

"Starting a family? You spare me, what kind of home is a stinky cart puller? I can't support myself, okay, add a few more mouths, this doesn't cost me a box of money[1]

? It's better to be single, one person eats enough and the whole family is not hungry, and the stove prince sticks it to his leg and stomach - it's home wherever he goes. ”

"Bullshit, I heard you sent all the money you earned to the kiln, is that the case?"

"I don't go often, sometimes I can't go back in a week, people, you still have to have money, and you can enter the cave every day with money."

Xu Jinge smiled: "Look at your little talent!" Why don't you want to go to that kind of place? I advise you to marry a woman, and if you have trouble with money, I can still help you, but don't go to those inferior kilns, which are too dirty. ”

Wen San'er put down the tea bowl and looked around, then approached Xu Jinge and whispered, "Master Xu, you have to have a few eyeliners in your business, right?" I understand this, don't talk about you, it's those policemen in the outer five districts, which one doesn't have his own eyeliner? The last time the British consul's girl went to the overpass and let people dig out the bag, this girl didn't say a word and found the mayor, the mayor blamed it, and solved the case within a time limit. Hey! Just such a sentence is more effective than the mayor's ten sentences, and the next day the thief sent the things to the police station, and also gave Inspector Wang five yuan of ocean compensation money, ouch, Inspector Wang showed his face. ”

Xu Jinge interrupted Wen San'er's chatter: "Okay, okay, Wen San'er, what do you want to say?" If you have something, why is there so much nonsense? ”

"Well, look at my stinky mouth, I can't stop it when I say it's bald, let's get down to business, do you remember? In the 26th year of the Republic of China, when the Lugou Bridge War began, there was a big case in Beiping, and seven or eight members of the Sato family, the owner of the Japanese Kasawara Trading Company, were killed, and their family was robbed......

Xu Jinge straightened up suddenly: "I still remember that many newspapers in Beiping reported that it was a major robbery and murder case, and it was already the eve of the war, and Beiping was in danger, and the police department had no intention of solving the case, so the case became an unsolved case." ”

Wen San'er patted his chest proudly: "Master Xu, look, don't you think my brother will suffer?" We all know before and after this case, who did it? What did they rob? Where is the perpetrator now? Your brother and I are all clear, Master Xu, don't worry, take a sip of tea first, and I'll tell you slowly......"

Fang Jinglin really almost lost his errand, he took the American lieutenant back to the police station and locked him up, and then notified the 1st Marine Division Liaison Office in Beiping to come to the police station to collect people and negotiate compensation. As a result, like Xu Jinge, he was also severely reprimanded by his boss, if it weren't for Fang Jinglin being one of the few senior police officers in the bureau, he might have been fired.

Fang Jinglin's liaison in the party** criticized him on behalf of his superiors, of course, from another perspective: as an underground worker of the party, he has no right to do anything without the permission of his superiors; As a veteran party member, he should abide by the party's discipline in an exemplary manner, and not do things that may expose his identity on impulse.

Fang Jinglin accepted the criticism, he thought privately, Xu Jinge and I probably belong to the same category, we are temperamental people, if it weren't for being in the camp of mutual hostility, we might be good friends. Of course, he and no one dared to reveal these thoughts, even Luo Mengyun.

Thinking of Luo Mengyun, Fang Jinglin felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, this was not just criticized for violating discipline. In fact, his superiors didn't know that he had a more serious disciplinary violation, that is, a tryst with Luo Mengyun. Both of them are old party members, and everyone understands the truth, but they can't restrain the desire to meet in a hurry, knowing that this is a wrong act, but they can't take care of it.

The meeting place between him and Luo Mengyun was changed to a tea house next to the Wulong Pavilion in Beihai, where the lake is guarded, and the white pagoda on Qiong Island is on the opposite bank.

Fang Jinglin took away Dr. Tea and made tea by himself. This is a set of tea sets for drinking gongfu tea, Fang Jinglin is very skilled in using it, he first used boiling water to wash the tea cup, fair cup, and gaiwan, and then used a mahogany wooden spoon to scoop the "Tieguanyin" tea leaves into the bowl, flush into the boiling water, stir a few times with the bowl lid, pour it out, and then flush in the boiling water, pour the brewed tea soup into the fair cup, precipitate it, pour it into the tea cup again, and put the tea cup on the wooden tray in front of Luo Mengyun. This set of tea-making procedures Fang Jinglin did meticulously.

Luo Mengyun silently watched Fang Jinglin busy with his work, his eyes full of love.

Every time they meet, they drink tea and talk about some family things, but they don't talk about work, more often they sit opposite each other, staring at each other, they have said what they should say, and they can't say what they shouldn't say.

Fang Jinglin poured the tea into the purple sand cup and handed it to Luo Mengyun: "Mengyun, how are you doing?" ”

Luo Mengyun looked at Fang Jinglin and said faintly, "I'm very nervous." ”

"Nervous? Do you mean mental or work? ”

"Yes, especially when I see the dawn of victory, the situation will become more and more sinister, of course, I am mentally prepared to deal with some changes."

Fang Jinglin took a sip of tea calmly, and said lightly: "I'm used to it for a long time, but it's hard to imagine the future, if one day I'm in a peaceful environment without danger, I don't know if I can get used to it." Mengyun, what can I do for you? ”

Luo Mengyun shook his head and said softly: "I'm afraid you won't be able to help me, you and I have our own things to do, but fortunately, it won't be too long." ”

"Mengyun, do you have any plans for the future?" Fang Jinglin seemed to have something to say.

Luo Mengyun showed a bright smile: "Of course, I want to marry the person I love, if conditions allow, I also want to have two children, preferably a boy and a girl." ”

"Oh, that's not too much, I promise you can do it. Mengyun, guess what, what do I want to do most at this time? ”

Luo Mengyun's eyes flashed, and he said naughtily: "I know, you really want to kiss a woman, but I don't know who this woman is." ”

"Come and sit down, I'll tell you."

"No, my dear, the environment here is really bad, bear with me, okay?"

"Mengyun, when that day comes, I will do nothing, hold you in my arms every day, do whatever I want, and do it for as long as I want."

Luo Mengyun asked knowingly: "Honey, what are you going to do?" ”

"Do something that lovers should do, you know?"

Luo Mengyun's face flushed: "Phew! You're getting worse and worse, are you a policeman? ”

Fang Jinglin looked out the window vigilantly, a trace of worry flashed on his face: "Mengyun, I'm worried about you, the environment we live in is too cruel, we face bloodshed and death every day, and sometimes there are even more cruel things than death, I often think that it is really a mistake for a girl like you to suffer such a cruel fate." ”

Luo Mengyun looked at him affectionately: "Jinglin, the bottom line I can bear is death, and other than that, I won't give my opponent any chance." ”

"Mengyun, promise me a request, okay?"

"You say!"

"Be careful, protect yourself, and live until the day I can hug you."

"I promise you, my dear, that you will take care too."

When he got up in the morning, the first thing Hua Mao'er did was to squat at the door and sharpen his axe, which was fast enough, and he was just used to it. If you don't have a good guy in his hands, it doesn't matter if you can use it or not, the key is to scare the other party. There is also a natural enemy to open this kind of inferior kiln, this natural enemy is not the police, but from the prostitute itself, this is not surprising, the rich and powerful will not come to this place to seek pleasure, the people who come are all low-class, it is difficult to pay three or five cents, if you can't scare them as soon as you make a move, some prostitutes dare to play in vain every day without spending money.

The flower cat is grinding the axe and thinking about things, and her mind is messed up. In fact, he doesn't like this profession, an old man lives by selling his body to a few old ladies, which is a face-saving thing in itself, but where there is a way, who will do these three bad things? The flower cat is also very nesty. If you want to complain, you can only complain about Biao Ye's lack of righteousness, when he served with Biao Ye before and after the saddle, the flower cat can be described as loyal, and there is no place to be sorry for Biao Ye.

During the "77" incident in the 26th year of the Republic of China, Hua Maoer was assigned by Biao Ye to take a few brothers to become the Sato family, and the looted property was loaded with a large cart. Biao Ye is an old man, he chooses the timing of the great care, the Lugou Bridge outside the city is fighting, the anti-Japanese sentiment of the people in Beiping City is high, Biao Ye has long seen that the 29th Army is not the opponent of the Japanese, Beiping City will be lost sooner or later, at this time to do his vote is really a fisherman's profit. Biao Ye is a pure pragmatist, he does not have any political leanings and the concept of the country and the nation, in his eyes, the Japanese and Chairman Chiang are all the way, as long as there is an opportunity, it is the same for anyone, the key is whether you can get money. Biao Ye's sense of smell is surprisingly sensitive, and before the 29th Army retreated, he retreated first, just like Zha Mengzi, a guy from Beiping went down, and when he showed his head, he had already arrived in Chongqing. It is said that during the eight years of the Anti-Japanese War, it was said that he was not idle, and Chongqing during the war lacked something to dump his grandfather, and the money was probably made in the sea. The question is, how does Biao Ye treat a brother like Hua Mao'er who is loyal to Biao Ye? Before Biao Ye left Beiping, he only used twenty yuan to send away the flower cat. Have you had an easy time in the past eight years? When the Japanese first entered the city, Hua Maoer also mixed up with an errand of the "maintenance association" officer, running around to do some chores, Hua Mao'er's specialty is to play with the root of his arms, he can't be reasonable, and he is still better at beating people. Later, it didn't work, the establishment of a formal maintenance in the Japanese occupation area required all kinds of people with heads and faces to strengthen the faΓ§ade, people like Hua Mao'er naturally couldn't consider it, Hua Mao'er was unemployed because of this, and he had no choice but to do this business.

Nowadays, only people like Biao Ye are like a fish in water, no matter how the world changes, what remains unchanged is Biao Ye. The Japanese emperor announced the surrender on August 15, and at the end of August, the grandfather of the people appeared on the streets of Beiping with a group of receiving officers, and that day the flower cat passed by the "Yuhuatai" restaurant, and at a glance saw the Biao Ye in suits and leather shoes and several officials who looked like people came out of it with a smile and a smile, and were preparing to drill into the "Buick" car. Hua Mao'er was so excited that tears flowed down, he desperately called his eldest brother to rush over, Biao Ye was stunned when he saw him, and then changed his smiling face, took out two pieces of ocean from his pocket and slapped it into Hua Mao'er's hand, and only said one sentence: "Brother, I still live in the old land, what do I have to talk about at home, now I still have something to do, go first." With that, he got into the car and drove away with smoke on his buttocks.

Hua Mao'er was so excited that he didn't sleep well that night, he felt that the eight years of nest days should be over, Biao Ye is a person who loves the old, and he has sold his life for him before and after the saddle, and now Biao Ye is out of the mountain again, how should he find an errand for himself. Hua Mao'er's requirements are not high, and his age is not as old as back then, he doesn't want to do anything like fighting, killing and killing, and he can still be a housekeeper for Biao Ye.

Hua Mao'er thought wrong, now Biao Ye is proud, he didn't take Hua Mao'er seriously, when he found the old house where Biao Ye lived - No. 15 Chengxiang Hutong at Caishikou, the gatekeeper didn't even let him in. That guy is a big man, wearing a Xiangyun gauze trouser gown, with an open shirt, this person looked up and down the flower cat very presumptuously, and came out horizontally with a mouth: "Looking for Biao Ye?" Who are you? Is your name Biao Ye? Have you made a reservation beforehand? ”

Hua Mao'er swallowed a breath and said in a low voice: "Brother, it was Master Biao who called me here, please drive in and report it, and say that Hua Mao'er asked him to come here." ”

"Biao Ye asked you to come? So how did I not know? Tell you, Biao Ye will not be a guest today, you, do whatever you want to do today, and want to see Biao Ye another day to call in advance to make an appointment. After Dahan finished speaking, he closed the door with a "bang".

The flower cat who touched a gray nose really had the heart to chop the guard dog with an axe, damn, it was really a tiger falling into Pingyang and being bullied by dogs, who dared to treat the flower cat like this ten years backwards? Abolish him!

Before Hua Mao'er finished sharpening his axe, an American-made Jeep stopped at the door, and a national army officer with the rank of lieutenant approached the house with four soldiers wearing steel helmets and carrying *** on their chests. Hua Mao'er hurriedly stood up and greeted him, and asked with a smile: "Boss, who are you looking for?" ”

The lieutenant looked him up and down: "You're the guy nicknamed 'Flower Cat'?" ”

Hua Mao'er nodded: "It's me, I'm sorry, my friends on the rivers and lakes gave me such a title, is there something wrong with the boss?" ”

"What am I doing here? Stinks worse than a pigsty, you, come with me. The lieutenant waved his hand, and the four soldiers swarmed up, sandwiching the cat in the middle.

Hua Mao'er has never experienced this kind of scene, so he is a little ignorant of the depths, his stubborn wildness was stimulated, and he actually opened his fists and feet left and right to open the bow to put down the two soldiers around him, and before he could deal with the next one, he was hit the face, the bridge of his nose was shattered, and blood splattered...... The flower cat snorted and fell, and the four wolf-like soldiers pounced on it and pounded it with **, kicked it with leather shoes, and in the blink of an eye, the flower cat was turned into a pile of wriggling rotten meat......

The lieutenant officer threw away the cigarette butt in his hand: "Okay, if you fight again, you won't be angry, take this bastard away." ”

The soldiers lifted the bloody cat up and slammed it into the jeep like a sack......

Wen San'er was sitting in the tavern in West Willow Well drinking, he had never been embarrassed to come since he was beaten up by Hua Mao'er here nine years ago, and now he was revisiting. The tavern owner Qi Fat Man was fatter than nine years ago, and he sat behind the curved ruler-shaped counter and looked at Wen San'er with a smile, like a Maitreya Buddha.

As soon as Wen San'er entered the door, he ordered a bottle of "Lotus White" with extraordinary grace, and the appetizers were fried peanuts, meat skin jelly, cucumber and jellyfish skin.

Qi Fatzi joked with Wen San'er while taking wine: "Wen San'er, I haven't seen you for a few years, I remember that you were originally two taels of 'burning knives' and a plate of 'mixing three silks' and sent them away, what's wrong with you today?" Did you rob a bank or smash a pawnshop? ”

Wen San'er raised his neck and poured down his first glass of wine, and slammed the wine cup on the table: "I said Qi fatty, do you have a big wine guy here?" Master Wen, I'm not used to using this small wine cup, picking and searching, how can I drink like a gentleman? Give me a big cup. ”

Qi Fatzi was busy finding a big cup for Wen San'er, and muttered in his mouth: "There is a night pot on the table of the Eight Immortals - see that you are not a guy who holds wine." Just how much do you drink? I died half a catty, and I don't know which country I am. ”

Wen San'er didn't pay attention to Qi Fatzi's sarcasm, he poured a large glass of wine, poured it down, and the long-lost feeling appeared again, and a wave of courage came out of the dantian, and it rushed to the brain along the internal organs. Wen San'er planned to use chopsticks to clip a piece of meat skin jelly, but his hand was a little disobedient, the chopsticks fell on the outside of the plate, picked up a piece of chicken bones left over by the guests, put it in his mouth and smacked it......

Qi Fatzi hurriedly reminded: "Wen San'er, why do you put chicken bones in your mouth?" Spit it out! ”

Wen San'er's little face had turned purple, and his consciousness was a little blurred, he chewed the chicken bones and swallowed them, and pointed at Qi Fatzi with his finger: "Dare to fight...... Master Wen, me? Blind...... Blind him...... He flowers the cat's dog eyes, Qi ...... Fatty, I'll ...... you Let's be honest, you think...... Master Wen, I'm a stinky cart puller? Put...... Fart! That...... That's what you kid see...... Look at people low, say it and be scared...... I'm scared of you, Master Wen, I'm ...... He is a member of the Secret Bureau, and he has been fighting for eight ...... Eight years, have you seen it? Master Wen, I'm ...... Take the flower cat in one sentence...... Take it in, ...... Punishment waits for this girl...... The girl raised it, dare to beat Master Wen? So ...... You can say it, but Sijiucheng can inquire about it...... Who messes ...... Messing with Master Wen, who is he...... Damn it, you're going to have to be unlucky......"

Qi Fatzi shook his head and sighed: "Come on, it's high again, Wen San'er, don't drink it, I'll pack it for you, you can find a place to sober up." ”

"Who...... Who said Master Wen that I am tall...... Tall? I'm Γ—, the Secret Bureau, you...... Have you heard of it? ”

Qi Fatzi nodded: "Then why haven't you heard of it?" Isn't it the original 'military command'? Wen San'er, do you know what 'military commandery' is? ”

"Army what? I...... I'm all ...... Qi fatty, don't fuck ...... Nonsense with me, Master Wen, I don't ...... If you don't know any 'military buckets' ...... 'toilets', I will take the guarantee...... Secret Bureau, Xu ...... of the Secret Bureau Master Xu, have you heard of it? Speak out and scare ...... Kill you, that's a big ...... Big official, the Secret Bureau...... He has the final say, you know who he is...... Who? ”

"Yo, how do I know who he is?"

"Who is he? To tell you the truth, he ...... He's Master Wen...... My immediate boss, Master Wen, I ...... At his disposal, you understand this time, right? ”

"Understood, understood, your Wen San'er is from the Secret Bureau, and the surname Xu is your boss, right? Then I'm a little confused, since you're a member of the Secret Bureau, why do you have to make trouble wearing official clothes, and then make a fuss or something, why do you still pull a car for someone? Doesn't this save the face of the Secrecy Bureau? ”

Wen San'er's tongue became more and more stiff: "You know...... Know a fart! Master Wen, I'm ...... Convenient...... Plainclothes, plainclothes you...... Do you understand? That is...... It's a spy, do you see it? The ...... at the door That foreign car, know ...... Do you know how much it is? More than 200 ...... Now the ocean, ...... you all Fat man, this broken ...... Tavern sells ...... If it's sold, it's not worth two hundred...... Ocean, right? ”

"That's, that's, my tavern can't stand your car......"

"Tell you, this car is ...... It was issued by the Secrecy Bureau...... Sent it, Xu Ye handed it over...... Explained, Master Wen, my errand...... The errand is to see who is like a ...... **, who is ...... Who is like a traitor...... I'm all ...... Qi fatty, I ...... What do I think of you kid not ...... What about unpleasant? You fuck ...... It's like Han ...... Traitor ......"

"Ouch, you've promoted me, I want to be a traitor, and the Japanese have to want me? I see you're drinking high again, do you want to have a bowl of vinegar to cure hangover? Qi Fat got up to get vinegar.

Wen San'er knocked on the table drunkenly: "I'll give it to Master Wen again...... Come to the bottle of 'two pot heads'......"

"Still want wine? I said Wen San'er, don't drink it, this is already high, and if you drink it again, you should be out of Louzi. ”

"Don't fucking waste...... Nonsense, I'm afraid that Master Wen didn't ...... No money? That's it...... Well, you're like a man...... Traitor ......"

"Yes, yes, I'm like a traitor, okay? I advise you not to drink, I know that as soon as you drink high, you will go crazy and smash things, and my little business can't help but toss you. Wen San'er, no, no, no, Master Wen, I called you Master Wen, you are my uncle, okay? Let's not drink it...... "Qi Fat begged in his mouth, but he mercilessly pinched Wen San'er's nose and poured him half a bowl of "old vinegar......
